As the political situation in the country gradually stabilized, the ministers and generals recognized the achievements of the prime minister since he took office.

Dali Einfoot's life is also getting better.

However, the good times did not last long, and a rebellion broke out in Hagrar City, the capital of the state of Exxon in the southeast of the empire.

A group of old nobles who had been loyal to the Noble Alliance colluded with local Voodoo forces to organize an armed force of more than 30,000 men.

They first attacked the Imperial City Defense Force, then killed the governor, mayor, and militia generals of Exon, and then declared independence.

The entire state of Exxon changed its flag and called itself the new aristocratic Confederate,

In the newspapers, it was announced that it would break away from the Valstastad Empire with immediate effect and build fortifications on the fortress.

The head of the rebels, Duke Oinkke Delianen, began to speak out in international public opinion, openly seeking recognition from the surrounding countries.

Imperial Prime Minister Dali Ainfurt reacted quickly and immediately sent troops to the border of Exxon to confront the rebels to prevent the rebellion from spreading, while sending diplomats to put pressure on neighboring countries.

The Sylvinian Empire promised never to recognize the rebels as an independent state, but the Papal States and the Knightly States behaved arrogantly towards diplomats and openly supported the separatist forces.

In these circumstances, Dali Einfurt realized that he had to demonstrate his determination to preserve the integrity of the country.

In a letter to Pope Ptek Chiaramonti III of the Templar Church, he was strongly worded:

"Your Majesty the Pope,

I heard that the traitor of our country, the Duke of Oink, sent an envoy to meet you, and you did not express your refusal, and even accepted the gift from them.

I see this move of yours as a separatist force supporting our country,

If, one day, you declare your support for the independence of the new noble allies, I will regret to declare war on you on that day.

Don't leave anything to chance,

Although His Majesty the Emperor is in poor health, all kinds of gossip continue.

But that doesn't mean we can tolerate traitors.

I can assure you that the determination of the Valstad soldiers to preserve the integrity of the country is as strong as steel,

We have good revenues to support a long-term large-scale war,

As long as I raise my arms, 400,000 elite divisions will cross the border and destroy any country on the continent of Oracis.

So, before making a decision, please think twice,

Your attitude will affect the lives and well-being of millions of citizens of the Papal States.

I'm sorry if you think my wording is rude.

That's right, this is a threatening letter,

We are strong and strong and not afraid of any challenge.

”

As expected, forced by the strong military power of the Valstad Empire,

The Papal States and the Knightly States had to compromise and refuse to recognize the new noble confederation as sovereign states, and other countries followed suit.

Only the regent regime of the Kingdom of Solan, far across the ocean, openly expressed its support for it,

However, far water can't quench the thirst of the near, and the Voodoo forces themselves are already in a hurry.

The cathars of the Regent Dark Patriarch Diamond Shespal are still at war with the Slave Rebels and the Monarchy.

Coupled with the growing antipathy of the people of Solan to Voodoo, they simply cannot spare the extra forces to interfere in the affairs of Valstad.

Half a month after the incident, the external political environment had matured, the Prime Minister decided to suppress the rebellion by force, and the most elite Imperial Guards began to assemble near the border of Ixon Oblast.

Prince William Einfurt, the prime minister's only son, led two infantry divisions and a heavy cavalry brigade to easily break the defensive line and take the rebel capital city of Hagrar.

The rebel forces are composed of local minority militias, local armed forces, and mercenaries, which are the opponents of tigers and wolves such as the Guards.

On the first day of fighting, the rebels were crushed at the touch of a button, most of them were taken prisoner, and the few recalcitrant ones failed to make any waves, and became blood-stained corpses.

Early the next morning, the Imperial Guard marched in and stormed the three-tiered walls of Hagrar in succession.

Seeing that the resistance was hopeless, the rebel generals, in order to survive, tied up the head of the rebel army, Duke Oinkke Delianen, and sent him to the prince.

At noon on this day,

William Einfurt was dressed in a black general's uniform, with a golden ribbon hanging between the epaulettes and pockets, the bright red collar badge and epaulette tassels were particularly eye-catching, and his tall and strong body stood proudly:

"Oinkke Deliyanin, are you guilty?"

The leader of the rebels refused to bow his head: "I am a frank man, what is the crime? ”

"You have betrayed the Empire in a vain attempt to divide her territory."

The Duke spat out: "Little brat! Be respectful!

You were still fucking nursing when Lao Tzu led the troops to fight!

And, by your own, are you worthy to be called a traitor to others?

Your father, Dalí, has betrayed the League of Nobles and gone to be a dog for the Midknights! ”

"Presumptuous! How dare you speak outrageously! "The commander of the cavalry brigade beside the prince, Colonel Nikolai Sergeyev, unsheathed his saber:

"Your Excellency, I want to dig out this old fellow's heart to see, the traitor's heart must be black."

Prince William looked at the brigade commander,

This Colonel Nikolai was a relative of the famous steppe eagle Marshal Yi Wan, and spoke with a steppe tongue-curling accent and a fierce and fierce style that belonged to the nomads.

"Nikolai, put away your saber, we have been given the task of defeating the rebels and taking the city, not including the purge of traitors."

"Okay...... Uncle Ivan told me to listen to you," Colonel Nikolai reluctantly put his knife into its sheath.

The head of the rebels, Duke Oink, was bent on death, deliberately trying to provoke the young brigade commander in front of him:

"Hmph, nomad, I smell horse urine on you from a long distance, it's very fishy!

You falcon Golden Horde were originally the king of the steppe, but now they have also been reduced to the life of a dog for the emperor! ”

"Bastard! You...... Dare! ”

Colonel Nikolai Sergeyev's eyes were wide and bloodshot, and his right hand clenched the hilt of the sword, but he did not dare to act against the order.

Seeing that the other party was helpless about himself, Duke Oinker looked even more proud and indulgent: "Hehe, boy, I was right by me, Tubaozi nomad, your steppe accent is really ugly!"

And you, little William of the Einfoot family,

If you marry the emperor's beautiful daughter, you will become a prince and you will be on the rise, right?

Phew! Don't be complacent, if she wasn't blind, the emperor wouldn't have married her to you! I wish your children all disabilities! ”

William Einfurt couldn't help but be angry: "Duke, you can scold me, but please don't curse my family." ”

"Hehe, my mouth is on my face, it's your turn?

You're all fucking shit! A pack of dogs licking the emperor's boots! Duke Oinker grew more and more proud, until a figure appeared before him,

"Father, you're here." Prince William stepped aside.

"Did he confess?" Dali asked.

"Not really."

"On what basis should I confess?" Duke Oinkke Delianen looked at the little man in front of him:

"Dali Einfurt, you are the real traitor, you have betrayed the King of the League of Nobles."

"Unwarranted slander, and I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you,

Duke, let's talk about things,

Your Majesty treats you well, it stands to reason that a general like you who is a defeated army should be exiled, but Your Majesty has mercifully retained some of your fiefs and titles, why should you betray her? ”

"Hmph, don't mention that tyrant to me, she erased one of the most beautiful words in Valsta, freedom.

I raised the army for the benefit of the mountainous minorities of Exxon to protect themselves from the oppression of the Varstads. ”

"You're lying!" Dali Ainfurt's eyes were like torches, he was not tall, but he had a momentum that was not angry and self-threatening, and forced the other party to retreat step by step:

"It's ridiculous, that's why you're uniting with foreign enemies in a vain attempt to split the country?

I will tear off your mask of hypocrisy, Duke Oink,

Because of the shame of the defeat of the noble alliance back then, you hold a grudge and want to take advantage of the current situation to gamble,

You feel that your neighbors are taking advantage of the crisis in the Empire's internal affairs to attack it, and you bet that the Voodoo forces will come to your aid.

So you tangle a group of rogue villains who are dissatisfied with the empire to launch a mutiny,

You've lost your bet! Lose all the games!

The monarchs of the continent of Olasis are afraid of the force of the empire, and the reinforcements of the Solan Kingdom are far away in the sky, and they can't save you at all!

Oink, you nothing, stupid and greedy traitor! ”

Duke Oinker was obviously poked in the sore spot by these words, and trembled with anger: "Say whatever you want, it's the winner who has the final say anyway,

Kill me and end it all. ”

"Kill you? Let your children and grandchildren inherit the title? It's not going to be that cheap! Dali Einfurt raised his hand and pointed to an ancient castle in the distance:

"You're not trying your best to revive the former prestige of the Delianen family? I know you're not afraid of death, and since you value family honor, I'll take it away!

I will use cannons to raze your fort to the ground, tear down the foundations, sprinkle lime, spread the soil and plant trees, and transform it into a central garden.

I declare that you will be stripped of the inheritance rights of your sons and daughters, and that all fiefdom property will be nationalized, and that there will no longer be the title of Duke of Liyanin, and that your family's mark will be completely erased! ”

"No...... You're just the prime minister, you don't have the right to do that! Only the monarch can appoint and remove the title of duke! ”

"Mr. Oink, have you forgotten that I now have full governing power, and I can do everything the emperor can do."

Dali Einfoot showed a cold smile: "I want you to live, live well."

Oink, the rest of your life will be tormented by pain and remorse,

You are a living, traitorous specimen, and with your example, no one else will dare to offend the authority of the emperor!

Guards, put him in prison, eat and drink. ”

At this time, Duke Oinkke Delianen was already so frightened that his legs were weak, and he sat on the ground and couldn't get up until his tall and fat body was carried away by the guards.

"Awesome!" Colonel Nikolai Shirgeyev looked at the Prime Minister with admiration on his face and said to Prince William:

"Your father is so ruthless! Depriving a great nobleman of his hereditary title is much worse than killing him.

In this way, the remnants of those noble allies will no longer dare to betray the empire! ”

Five days later,

The traitor Oinkke Deliyanen was found in prison biting his tongue and committing suicide, his brown eyes wide open and unable to bare his eyes.
