Section 218 Support (12)
The old man with the feather crown on his head looked at the document in front of him with a heavy face.
These documents in front of him mean that the Epro Empire is a huge transportation of supplies, or rather, preparations for the upcoming battle.
Since the aliens suddenly occupied the city of Fenian, the prestige of the Apro Empire was frustrated, and it originally wanted to launch a counteroffensive immediately, but then the Yaman Republic announced an alliance with the aliens and took the initiative to lease the city to the aliens for 99 years.
At present, the Republic of Yaman is still an aristocratic republic on the surface, but in reality it is difficult to have the opposition of Speaker Andreev.
In this way, the aliens quickly achieved trade with the Republic of Yaman, exchanging some strange things made by the aliens for the abundant resources of the Republic of Yaman, and also meant to extend the trade network of the Republic of Yaman.
However, the trade between them was extremely unfair, and the aliens received very large benefits, which made the whole of the Yaman Republic extremely dissatisfied, but there was nothing to be done.
Of course, it is impossible for the aliens not to pay the price, and the aliens declare that they will work together with the Yaman Republic to defend against any invasion.
This change delayed the battle that the Apuro Empire was preparing to launch, because it originally only regarded the aliens as the primary enemy, but it did not expect that the Yaman Republic would also collude with the aliens.
Although the combat power of the Yaman Republic is not very strong, and the only legendary combat power has fallen many years ago, but the addition of the Yaman Republic adds some variables.
For example, it is difficult for aliens to get the recognition of the Binfu Kingdom or the Xi Clan, and even the Apuro Empire can raise their arms. Call on everyone to work together to expel the aliens. But the aliens had the Covenant of Mutual Defense and the Lend-Lease of the City of the Republic of Yaman. The Apuro Empire is not so powerful in the name of righteousness, and the aliens can also use the link of the Yaman Republic to alleviate the contradictions with the Binfu Kingdom, the Xi Tribe, etc., even if these forces will not help the aliens, but it is difficult to guarantee that the Apuro Empire will not have any plans and actions when the aliens are in a war.
Therefore, if the Apuro Empire wants to carry out this campaign, it is forced to make more preparations.
In addition to military and diplomatic preparations, the most indispensable part of the war is logistics, and each piece of paper here represents the operation of the huge state apparatus of the Epro Empire, and countless supplies are being delivered.
The Old Man with the Feather Crown is Terrence, a virtuous man in the Apuro Empire. The empire is about to wage war against foreign invaders, and he, the most important person in the center, is in charge of the overall situation.
After a long time, Terrance let out a sigh of relief, according to his estimation, the numbers written on the paper should represent the preparation to support the war against the aliens again.
"Lord Terrance!" the door was pushed open, and it was Joey, Terrance's most important political assistant, a handsome young man with dark hair, and a good swordsman.
"What's wrong. Joey?" Terrance broke free from the boring numbers and looked at his young assistant with slightly tired eyes.
For Joey's panic right now. Terrance was a little dissatisfied, because although Joey was his assistant, he was actually the son of an old friend of his, Terrance dedicated his energy to the Empire, never married, and had no descendants, in a way, Joey was also one of the objects of his cultivation, and his current performance slightly disappointed him.
"My lord, there is a riot in Bofeng City. Joey calmed himself.
"What?" Terrance was taken aback.
Alien invasion, the empire is facing a great enemy, and it needs to go all out, but at this time, Bofeng City rioted.
This is definitely a bad sign and must be dealt with promptly.
Because the Apuro Empire has dominated Nanfarmalik for many years, and has been conquering for many years, not to mention those countries that have been annexed, even the Binfu Kingdom and the Xi Clan, which still exist now, have been coerced by them, if the Apuro Empire cannot suppress the rebellion and independence of Bofeng City, then it is very likely that it will be an effective imitator, especially now when it is about to attack the aliens.
"How did this idiot get Bofeng City out of his hands, but most of the official legions there are under his direct command. Terrance suppressed his anger and said.
Joey hurriedly told Terrance in detail about the news he received, how the governor of Ili exacerbated the conflict in order to collect taxes for the royal family and fill his own pockets, and did not hesitate to destroy the statue of Noriega, the former lord of Bofeng City, which triggered a protest from the residents of Bofeng City.
Later, the mercenary team known as the Blood Griffin even collaborated with some of the felons, disguised as an army, to raid the Doge's palace again, capture the Governor of Ili while he was suppressing the inhabitants, and then force the garrison to withdraw from the city.
And because of the repression arranged by the governor of Ili, there was a lot of bloodshed, which caused the city of Bofeng to fall into the confrontation between the citizens and the ruler's army, which provoked even greater contradictions.
It should be said that in fact, although there are some risks in the suppression of the Governor of Illy, under normal circumstances, Terrance will not scold him for being a fool, because he is at least a good hand, although Terrance has the reputation of being a virtuous person, but that means that for the Apuro Empire, for a city like Bofeng City that has been annexed and has not been naturalized, or even if it is naturalized, it can only be reduced to a second-class or third-class citizen, Terrance's virtuous name will not be reflected in them. On the contrary, Terrance doesn't mind using them to make up for the country's growing deficit.
Therefore, if the Illido arranged it properly, the possibility of the success of this crackdown was very large, and the resistance to raising taxes in the future would be much smaller.
However, Governor Eli was captured, and shortly after the crackdown began, he was taken hostage and threatened to stop the garrison.
Then, in this situation, the rioting citizens accepted the command of the mercenary team, and with the threat to Eli's life and the counterattack of the entire city's citizens, the army of the Aprolo Empire in Bofeng City had to temporarily withdraw from the city.
"How so, I remember that because I was worried that the aliens would assassinate the archons of some of our important locations, I also sent people to protect them. Isn't there an arrangement in Bofeng City?, Terrance frowned.
"It's arranged. Three of the Phantom Mercenary Regiment passed. Joey smiled wryly. "But the three were said to have been captured with the Governor of Illy, and now that the Captain of Brandy knew about it, she had rushed over. ”
Terrence's face couldn't help but become a little more solemn, and he read the name of the blood griffin in his mouth, "It seems that this blood griffin mercenary team that caused the prisoner and the citizens to merge still has some strength, and it can actually capture the three people of the Phantom Mercenary Group alive, I seem to have heard their names once before, have you found out who they were hired by this time?
Joey's face was slightly red. "It was so sudden, it's still under investigation, it's not known who hired them, we'll dig up everything about them as soon as possible. ”
"Well, prepare a copy of each of their materials, and arrange another imperial meeting later, we must deal with the Bofeng City incident before the battle. Terence said.
"Yes, sir. Joey's expression became serious, and he turned to leave, and went to get ready to go—
"Can you please don't tie this thing to me. I already have a magical ban on me, and I can't escape from under your noses. Amber smiled wryly.
He was joined by Munro and Sinti. All three of them were forbidden by the dark demon Pruss to use dark magic, but Kou Qi and the others were not very relieved, and tied iron ropes and other objects to them.
The Blood Griffon's raid was successful, capturing the Governor of Illy and forcing the three Phantom Mercenary Corps members to surrender.
Later, as Joey reported to Terrance, in order to save Marshwin, after capturing Illy, he threatened his life to force the army that was beginning to suppress the citizens to stop its operations.
Of course, the Imperial army is not so easy to obey, although the governor can command them, but Eli has little prestige in the army, it all depends on his status.
So the Imperial army only temporarily stopped the repression, and did not intend to withdraw from the city, and was in a stalemate with the blood griffons and citizens.
However, the atrocities of the Imperial army provoked more and more residents of Bofeng City to revolt, and more people came to show their support, and even took up rudimentary weapons to defend themselves.
The capture of the Governor of Illy also caused a rift between the Governor's Palace Guard and the garrison corps, and eventually the Imperial Army temporarily withdrew from Bofeng City.
But this was not the end of the matter, because the army had not completely left the territory of Bofeng, and could attack the city at any time, but only temporarily retreated due to the concerted efforts of the inhabitants of the city and the safety of the life of the governor of Ili.
This event will inevitably be fed back to the center of the Apuro Empire as quickly as possible, once the center of the empire makes the decision to abandon the governor of Ili, then the hostage is of little value, and the imperial army will immediately attack.
This is almost impossible to avoid, because if the Apuro Empire were to abandon it like this, it would be encouraging all previously annexed territories to follow suit.
And at this time, in the conference room that had been temporarily cleaned up, Khorin was negotiating with Solomon.
It was also at this time that the people of Aurora did not know that such a strange change had occurred in Bofeng City.
But the Aurora people are also facing their own troubles, that is, as the Aurora people have initially established themselves in Cologne, after the benefits of the trade carried out by the southerners, the northern magnates have also begun to blush, and no longer care about the claim that this new plane will be handed over to the southerners, and begin to ask for a share.
As a result, Leona constantly received overt or covert pressure from the northern wealthy clans or merchants, which gave her a headache.
"What a fool of them, why didn't they ask for their part in the war before, but now they think that Aurora's interests here have been protected? Leona said to herself, she is not opposed to letting the northerners share the benefits, because although Aurora has a preliminary foothold in Cologne, the aborigines here are not good at resting, and there will be wars, and the participation of northerners is just right for everyone to work together.
"General Leona, I've brought a friend here. It was the Marquis of Gerald who spoke, and he entered with a man pushing the door.
"He's ......" Leona looked at the man behind Gerald, who was dressed in a black robe, wrapping his entire body tightly.
Moreover, this robe seems to have the use of concealing aura, but it is still a little worse to isolate Leona's senses.
Her face changed slightly, solemn, and even guarded, "It's such a strong dark aura, no, there is the smell of the undead, who are you?"
"Hehe, I can't hide it from the Valkyrie, I'm Stephen. The black-robed man took off his mask, and in the Valkyrie's induction, the breath of the undead became a little stronger.
The person in front of him turned out to be Stephen, the master of life, and among the powerhouses of the undead clan, he was the most likely to walk in the world, because before he became the undead, he was a dark archmage, and if he did not have an extremely powerful spiritual sense, under his concealment or disguise, it was possible to mistake him for a dark mage.
"Gerald, what are you doing?" said Leona angrily to Gerald.
"I think the general needs help, and I also need some more support. Gerald replied. (To be continued......)
