Vernon fell, Gallic Kyoto was shocked, in the Gallic Empire's Omlusa Palace, where the Imperial Council was held, the lights were bright and the atmosphere was tense, and hundreds of candles illuminated the 100-meter-wide hall as if it were daylight, and the hall was already full of ministers from Kyoto.

They gathered together in groups of three or five to discuss the news of the fall of Vernon, which had just been sunk in the counterattack on the wall-rock fort, and the author's empire had been daydreaming of the fall of the Gallic Kyoto ministers, Vernon, was like a large basin of cold water poured on their faces, cold from head to toe.

I thought that there would be no problems in this winter, but the Falcon Army tore a big hole in it, if the Falcon Army had recently hit the area of fifty miles outside Kyoto, but there were at least 200,000 troops in Kyoto, and there was a strong and outrageous chain of defense lines to block it,

But this time it was different, the 200,000 troops in Kyoto were still in the wall rock fort dozens of miles away, and the troops left in Kyoto even had 50,000 people.

According to conservative estimates, on the day the Vernon Line was breached, at least 30,000 Falcon Empire troops had swarmed through the large gap in Vernon.

Vernon was only thirty miles from Kyoto, and between the two was a vast flat land, with no danger to defend, and the Falcon army could come to the city at any time.

In this case, the whole of Kyoto is like an ant roasted on a fire, and it is difficult to sit still, and tonight, no one is destined to sleep!

The Gauls could not imagine that the walls of Kyoto, which had not endured the bitter war for two hundred years, would be reduced to a terrible scene tomorrow morning when the Thunder God of the Falcons were bombarded with targets

"Are you sure? Tielan opened Vernon!"

An official of the Ministry of Internal Affairs looked strange and cautiously asked his colleague who worked in the Ministry of Military Affairs next to him, the general of the Ministry of Military Affairs was between forty years old, wearing the uniform of a Gallic general with a golden dark background and red edges, and his eyes looked around keenly, and then he whispered, "This is a fact personally proved by the commander of Vernon, Marquis Gia, it is said that at that time, Tielan originally wanted to deceive the gate of Vernon, but was discovered by the witty Marquis of Guia,

Tielan was so angry that he ordered a large army to attack the city. At this time, the army of the Falcon Empire appeared behind Tielan, and Tielan's troops overwhelmed the unprepared Vernon,

Fortunately, Vernon's Marquis Guia reacted decisively, and at the critical moment he ordered an all-out resistance, shooting and killing more than 10,000 Tielan rebels, but in the end, the light was overwhelming, and the Marquis of Guia fought desperately, losing 4,000 people in the battle, and less than 1,000 people were able to evacuate from Vernon"

"I'll just say it. It has been rumored before that Tielan has already defected to the Falcon Empire in Rasti, otherwise why would so many people have been captured, but he returned to Kyoto unscathed"

The officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs listened with round eyes, and said with great excitement, "After all, Tielan was once the number two person in the Gallic Kyoto Army, a well-known military minister, and it is rumored that Tielan has incorporated the northern army of Simon, the commander-in-chief of the north, in the north of the empire, up to 100,000 people,

Fortunately, this time the Marquis of Gia found out early. Otherwise, once Tielan really enters Kyoto with 100,000 northern troops, then no one will be able to stop this guy's madness!"

Just as the two of them were talking, a series of footsteps on the snow layer on the ground were pierced,

Under the light and shadow cast in front of the main hall of the palace where the snow is falling. The deputy commander of the Kyoto Praetorian Guard, Nuyak Orley, pushed open the gate of the Imperial Omlusa Palace in front of him with a stern expression, his eyes swept like a knife, and all kinds of noisy discussions in the gate suddenly stopped.

All eyes were on the upstart of the Gallic Praetorian Guard. The mighty Praetorian Guards lined up outside the gate, "His Majesty the Emperor has arrived!"

The shrill voices of the palace eunuchs rippled through the corridors, and everyone straightened up. The young Gallic emperor, whose face was as pale as paper, walked into the palace with the support of Algernon Giulia, who was dressed in a white gold velvet robe.

"Long live Your Majesty!"

There was a loud voice, and the ministers lowered their heads nervously, "Okay, let's all sit down!"

The emperor's voice was very soft, he raised his hand and made a downward gesture, very weak, but the faint imperial power was still the same, all the ministers sat down neatly, and the atmosphere did not dare to take a breath, if it wasn't for the bad time, plus the fat man, who was destined to sweep in all directions,

This young emperor, who is a little exquisite, and who carefully manages the strategy of his small empire, will not become like this because of a series of blows

Duke Wicker, the Minister of the Interior, who has been tested for a long time and has experienced three generations of emperors, sat down in his seat, tidied up the text in front of him, and just raised his head, his bloodshot pupils were shrunk,

The face that was as old as the bark of a tree showed a look of imperceptible dismay, and the corners of his eyebrows were deeply sunk into a line, like a ravine washed by the long river of time

He saw a noticeable change in the way Algernon Giulia dressed today,

It is no longer the official costume that has always given people strictness, nor is it a female knight decoration that represents the heart of perseverance, it is an extremely orthodox female aristocratic attire, with a soft filament coiled up,

The upper body is covered with graceful and luxurious white and gold short velvet, a beauty is a beauty, the hip curve covered by the long skirt is unobstructed, which makes people reverie, the calves are thin and slender, if it is not for the cold and ruthless means of self-control, it must be a charming and natural stunner.

"I believe the reason for tonight's meeting is already clear to everyone!"

Gently seated the Emperor on a bench covered with thick cushions, and Algernon Julia sat down on the other side,

As is customary, the imperial council has always been presided over by the emperor, presided over by Algernon Julia, and with every word she said, a faint air pressure made the audience silent,

Duke Wicker, the Minister of the Interior, who had a full view of this, pretended to bow his head calmly, but in fact, he was shocked beyond measure, and his slightly hunched back looked even more hunched, the imperial political tumbler who could experience three generations of emperors, and the old man who had occupied the throne of the Imperial Minister of the Interior for thirty years, had seen too many power changes, ebb and flow, but none of them made people feel a sense of sadness today,

He already felt very clearly that the time limit of His Majesty was approaching! The era left to him would soon be gone, and the emperor would die, which was already stormy and could be destroyed by the Falcon Empire at any time.

The emperor was not married. There is no heir, once the return to the west means the severance of the noble lifeline that has been inherited for three hundred years, which means that the opportunity for the princes to peep for hundreds of years has finally come, which means that the fear of Kyoto in the region will disappear with the death of the emperor, and at the same time, the Falcon Army surrounded by the two armies will definitely not let go of this excellent opportunity, and Kyoto, which has exhausted its last strength in the battle against the Falcon Empire, is about to collapse the local binding force,

This is the demise of Gaul. A precursor to the disintegration of the empire

The empire needs a person to pass it on, although a nephew of the emperor has been transferred to Kyoto for backup, but after all, it is just a child who is only six or seven years old, and he doesn't understand anything, and he can show the emperor's potential at a young age like the little emperor who is not seven years old, after all, he is still a minority,

And not all young monarchs have old ministers like Rubin Sark who are willing to shelter the empire and are willing to sacrifice their reputations.

Most of the courtiers. They are all selfish things like the Duke of Wicker, the Minister of the Interior, who has been trying to monopolize the power all his life, and who are like the roots of an old tree in all walks of life in Gaul, who are in high positions and strive to absorb nutrients from the big tree of the Gallic Empire. But one day they suddenly find that the tree is about to fall and they are completely overwhelmed, and the most they want is to stay as far away from the tree as possible before it falls

Duke Wicker heard that some ministers had secretly signed a petition asking His Majesty the Emperor to officially include Algernon Julia as the first princess of the Empire. On the surface, this is just in case, and at the critical moment, I hope to have a figure to support the situation. In fact, behind the scenes, everyone knows very well that this is building momentum for Algernon Julia,

"These fools are simply shooting themselves in the foot!" "An old man like the Minister of the Interior knows very well that although Algernon Giulia is a woman, she has the ambition and ruthlessness to be inferior to any hero, and the conservative forces in Kyoto have always been regarded by this woman as a stepping stone to the throne of power, once this powerful princess really comes to power,

Cover the sky with one hand

The first thing must be a bloody reshuffle of the traditional forces in Kyoto, but most of the conservatives in Kyoto do not see this clearly, and are still indulging in the political game of intrigue, completely ignoring the strong crushing of the side that holds military power can ignore the rules.

The only way to save the giant tree of Gaul is to cut off all the incalculable corrupt vines on the trunk, so that the trunk can be rejuvenated, and the old blood can be drained to ensure that the new blood is not contaminated.

If you want Gaul Kyoto to shape people's hearts, be recognized by regional forces, and get the support of the eastern princes who currently retain great strength, the best way is to directly attack the conservatives who have been entrenched in Kyoto for a hundred years

Decisive in killing, ruthless and ruthless, this woman almost occupies everything!

There is also the absolute influence of the Kyoto Praetorian Guard, the first force in Kyoto, if it were not for the current Kyoto shape shì tension and inability to get out, the Wiker Gonghu Jue would definitely leave Gallic Kyoto, the center of the chaos that is about to become a mess, as far as he can, the family foundation is people, and some people have the foundation, and the Falcon Army will die if it enters Kyoto! Algernon Julia will die when he comes to power! Flee to the east, which is relatively stable, and the final result will still be eaten alive by local forces! No one, nothing

In a way, the Duke of Wicker, the Minister of the Interior, was not too surprised when he heard the news of Tielan's rebellion, and in order to seize power, there were too many slanders against each other, such as Hasenranpo and Yarde, and now that it is Tielan, every defeat of the empire must be the fall of a military minister.

In the face of the struggle for power and profit in the imperial military circles over the past few years, he has already sat back and watched the situation rise, and it has become his habit for many years

He turned his hand Chinese jiàn clip with a heavy expression, and his old and cloudy eyes flashed a trace of essence, and in Gu Bo's mind, he thought of it was another matter! The traces are too obvious, in the case of being raided by the Falcon Army behind the back, Tielan is defined as a rebellion, which is obviously a planting manipulation behind someone's back,

In fact, this matter is not difficult to understand at all, the confession comes from the Marquis of Guia, the commander of the survivors of the Battle of Vernon,

And this marquis is currently under the care of the Kyoto Praetorian Guard, and the one who came forward to record the confession is the Praetorian Guard inspection team that claims to be able to do what you want as long as you want, even a fast and stubborn iron can make him sing, and the most controversial party, Tielan, is said to have taken refuge in the Falcon Army (or captured) and made a big circle. Every one that can be useful is simply a dead knot with no evidence, "What does this woman want to do when she wastes so much energy?"

The eyebrows of the Duke of Wicker, the Minister of the Interior, condensed into a Sichuan character on his forehead, his expression was like a statue, and he couldn't see his joy and anger, the other party was so carefully arranged, and he personally launched an emergency imperial meeting, which caught his side off guard, and it must not be as simple as convicting Tielan, a chess piece that has been abandoned.

Sure enough, when Algernon Julia's beautiful voice, which would have made most men think that she was a cold mountain beauty with her voice that would have made most men think of herself as an infinitely reverie, demanded that the Ministry of War immediately withdraw the main force of the empire from the wallrock fort, the "snap" of the excellent zuò, especially the feather made of expensive and ornate swan feathers, was broken in two in Duke Wicker's dull hand

"This woman...... It's so bold!" Duke Wicker was shocked in his heart, he finally knew what the meaning of this meeting was, the reason why this meeting was convened was because women needed a high-sounding reason to take the 200,000 Kyoto military control into their own hands. If the previous resolute opposition of the conservatives was valid, the situation in Kyoto was precarious with the Tielan Rebellion, and the effectiveness of the opposition could be simply ignored. The main force of the Kyoto Army, which was transferred back to the Castle of Biyan, should have been the woman's argument at the end of the Imperial Council

"Our army has finally recaptured the Biyan Fort from the new one, how can it just quit lightly!"

The generals of the military were the first to stand up and express their displeasure. The fierce temperament of the soldiers is really not comparable to other civil ministers, and at a critical moment, even against Algernon Julia, who had fought in the southwest. The women who shined in the battle of Rasti, the generals still dare to face the hard shoulder,

No way, Algernon Julia has too bad an impression of the military,

In the Battle of the Southwest, the military lost 100,000 elites in the Seine, which was enough for the wolves, but it was not completely without a chance of recovery, there was still a strong Murphy Dragon Armor Army in the Southwest, and more than 100,000 Southwest Army who were eager for a shame, but Algernon Julia stabbed his own people in the southwest capital, and directly led the Murphy brothers to rebel, and the mutiny of more than 100,000 Southwest Army should have taken at least a few months to advance into the Falcon Empire in the southwest region, and easily took this fertile area where the empire had poured countless efforts,

The battle of Rasti, although Hasenlimpo avoided the battle with all his might, at least he still ensured that the battle line was not lost,

However, Algernon Giulia went and supervised the battle with all his might, and Hasenrimbaud's command was split and he was forced to start a battle with the Falcon Empire, as a result, the Imperial defense line collapsed in a month, and the Empire lost 400,000 elites again.

It seems that as long as this woman is on the battlefield, the casualties of the Imperial soldiers have increased exponentially, so much so that Algernon Giulia is privately called the "widow maker" by the military! Now this "widow maker" has reached out to the Kyoto line, which has just gotten a little better, how can the generals not be angry,

If it weren't for the fact that the emperor had not taken care of the other party's posthumous affairs, and it was still a woman, the generals of the military would have scolded their mothers a long time ago!

In the face of the military's strength, Algernon Julia has long been accustomed to it, she gestured to several military bigwigs with a cold expression, and said in a cold voice, "Whether Kyoto alone carries 100,000 Falcon troops to press the border, or transfer troops back to Kyoto from the side of Wall Rock Fort and go to the national disaster together, I believe this is a multiple-choice question that a fool will do!" And with what I know about the Vecchia Falcon, if he doesn't take this opportunity to encircle the defenders of Fort Wallrock from the direction of Vernon and eat the last of our Kyoto Army in one fell swoop, I, Algernon Julia, can apologize with death!"

"Hiss!" The generals who were still roaring loudly just now suddenly withered, and stood there one by one, yes, opening Vernon is equivalent to opening the rear of Fort Rock, if the Falcon of Vekia really turns around and encircles, the Empire's 200,000 troops will not have a second possibility except for the small Fort Wallrock that is not able to carry out a battle of troops

The Imperial Council ended quickly, because the generals had already left in a hurry, and the ministers below had nothing to say,

The crowd was full of voices, the ministers left one after another, and the Duke of Wicker, the Minister of the Interior of Gaul, who walked out of the palatial Omlusa Palace, felt for the first time that the night outside was cold and dewy, and it was deep cold to the bones, only to realize that he didn't know when, the clothes behind his back were already wet with cold sweat, "My lord"

The old coachman, who had followed him for forty-seven years, opened the car door, and he could feel the tiredness on the old master's face, which was like something that had been held on for a long time, a kind of decadence and indifference when he suddenly gave up, both a little reluctant and a few resolute

Duke Wicker stepped into the car, raised his head and looked at the once familiar Omrusa Palace on the steps, decades of time flickering in his mind, the corners of his mouth glanced slightly, and in a voice that only he could guess, he cursed, "A bunch of fools!"

It's not the best choice, it's not the worst choice! But at least it's a choice, it's better than waiting to die! Can't these fools see that the day the army of the wall rock fort returns to Kyoto is the day when we wait for death and have no place to be buried! (To be continued......
