total conquest

Chapter 406 Ending ([-])

Butcher King, Croz, Sai Luo and the reinforcements they led to support Volkma were all killed in the battle of Aiweiheim, the provincial capital of Aiwei Province.

No. On the 11th day, in the Imperial City of the Empire, in the Grand Palace of Altdorf, the Emperor Karl sat on his throne, staring blankly into the distance. There was no one else in the hall except him. Now there are two The news of the complete defeat on the battlefield has not yet spread to the civilians. No matter how fast the deserters run day and night, it will take two days to reach the area under the control of the empire.

In these two days, he needs to make a final decision on two things. One is to transfer all the civilians in Rick Province and Wesen Province to Bretonnia. The number of remaining civilians in the two provinces has already exceeded the number that the empire can maintain now. The province of Ivy and the northern province were defeated, and within two days there will be an influx of nearly [-] million people. Even if the Chaos army is not in a hurry to continue to destroy, the empire will have to disintegrate from the inside. People who are extremely hungry will It is not surprising to do anything. Of course, this matter is not the main reason why Emperor Karl is entangled.

The most tangled thing is the plan of the Vampire Earl. Now the regular army of the Imperial Alliance is basically blown up, and the militia reserves are all added to the existing army establishment. All males who have reached the age of 16 are forced to sign (the empire is 25 years old). Finally, with the addition of Volkmar and the defeated northern army, they can gather nearly 400 million imperial troops, but they are extremely lacking in weapons, armor, combat experience and morale. This is the last limit of the empire. They couldn't even wave a few times with Ben.And other races will also have different numbers of people entering Rick Province. Almost all the dwarves and green-skinned orcs participated in the war, and they gathered an army of 300 million (dwarves only accounted for 50). With an army of 100 million, they brought almost all the people in their own country who could take up arms.The wood elves and treants gathered at the World Tree, where they were going to prepare for the last fight for this world, and only a few people knew about it.

So in the end, only 800 million troops can participate in the war, and [-]% of them are miscellaneous troops. With this number, the Chaos army cannot be stopped, so Manfred proposed a recovery plan for the dead. The most indispensable thing in this continent is the dead, and Around Altdorf, apart from the martyrs cemetery advocated by Zhang Hao, there are also several super-large cemeteries in the empire that have been burying the dead for a hundred years, not to mention that Rick Province and Wissen Province are two populous provinces, God knows where they are buried How many people have been killed, once they are summoned, this number can definitely stop the footsteps of the Chaos Legion.At that time, as long as the plans of the elves can succeed, the final victory will belong to the mainland.

But revive the dead, which has always been called extremely evil, once it happens, it may trigger a series of uncontrollable things, digging people's cemeteries, digging people's ancestral graves, and offending the dead. This involves the bottom line of tens of millions of people. If If there is any other way, Karl will firmly oppose it at the first time, but now, there is really no way, if only Prince Li is here, he has always had a lot of ideas.

When Carl thought of Zhang Hao, his eyes darkened even more, but in the next second, he suddenly recalled what Zhang Hao had told him before, "If there is any plan that involves major matters such as the survival of the country, but cannot be implemented due to various reasons When the time comes, go to the common people, they will give you the answer, and with the backing of the people, any plan can be boldly carried out.” Thinking of this, Karl’s originally dim eyes immediately filled with spirits, and he stood up like walking outside the hall .

"His Majesty!"

"Don't follow me! I'm going out for a while, don't follow me! I'll be back before dinner! Don't follow me!!" Karl warned three times in one sentence, and the other Rick guards guarding the entrance of the hall looked at each other They all chose to stand still, allowing Emperor Karl to run to the stables alone, and finally watched his back running wildly outside the palace.

The stagecoach store, the transportation point of Altdorf and the entire empire, originally provided various fast transportation services, horses, carriages, and small steam-powered vehicles, but because of the war, no horses were seen here anymore, and all of them were replaced by There is a human transportation service with a surplus of labor, and because you can get important news in a relatively short time, people from all walks of life and all kinds of people gather here usually.

Emperor Karl did not deliberately hide his whereabouts. When he pushed open the gate of the inn and entered the inn, he immediately caught the attention of everyone present.

"His Majesty the Emperor"

"Your Majesty"

"."

Everyone was surprised and overwhelmed, and all of them stood up for a while, because there was not so much space, so everyone basically stood and saluted Karl.

"You don't need to be too polite, I... I'm just here to hang around, you can do whatever you want. Sit, sit, sit." Carl tried his best to think about his own words, and wanted to be less formal at the scene. What he wanted to hear was Tell the truth, not something you say out of fear.With that said, Carl walked towards the price panel, stared at it for a while, and found that he couldn't understand the things written in various simplified languages ​​on it. After touching his nose in embarrassment, he found a place and sat down. After the few civilians around him shook their bodies in panic, they immediately stood aside. Like everyone in the station, although they did not face Karl, they all quietly looked at the emperor of the empire with their eyes, fearing that something might happen. doing something wrong.

Silence and an extremely awkward atmosphere spread in the room. No one dared to speak anymore, and no one dared to walk out of the door. Karl also sat there in embarrassment and didn't know how to speak.

At this time, a young woman squeezed through the crowd, came out, and knelt down in front of Karl, "Your Majesty the Emperor, I am the owner of this inn, Susanna, please forgive my unreasonableness, my Majesty the Emperor, Did you come to this small inn for something?"

"No need to salute, please sit down, sit down and say, indeed, I am here, and I do have some questions to ask you." Karl pointed to his side and asked Susanna to sit down.

After Suzanne sat down, Karl looked around and said guiltily, "The current battle situation is very unfavorable to us. As the emperor, I have an inescapable responsibility, and I feel very guilty for this." Karl wanted to be a Good emperor, I want to be a praised king, but now how many families have been destroyed, and 80.00% of the country's land has been lost, but now he needs those who have died once to die again, which is really hard for Karl to say.

"Your Majesty, we all know that you have tried your best, and all the gentlemen have also tried their best, but you haven't given up on us yet, have you? Although if it is a problem that neither Your Majesty nor the gentlemen can solve, we will definitely not be able to do anything, but we will definitely Tell your Majesty what we really think."

"Yes, Your Majesty! Just ask, we also hope to help you and make a contribution to the country!"

"Your Majesty! Please ask!"

"His Majesty."

Carl looked up at the sincere gazes in the room, and was very moved. He suddenly couldn't bear to let them suffer anymore, "Maybe I can talk to the Chaos, maybe they will let us go, but at least everyone can Alive, if we have this chance, should we compromise?" After Carl finished speaking, he thought everyone would think about it for a while, but just as he finished speaking, a little girl standing in the front row immediately answered, "No! No compromise!"

Then the whole room shouted loudly, "No! Never compromise with those demons!"

"Never compromise!"

"The Empire never compromises with its enemies!"

"No! Never!!"

Karl burst into tears when he heard these words, but he quickly controlled his emotions. From an emperor who was looked down upon by everyone to the present, he has experienced too many betrayals, too many lives and deaths, but now he feels It's all worth it.

"Yes! Can't compromise!" Carl reached out and took the girl into his arms, and gently stroked the little girl's hair. He felt the strength and the power of the people as the backing, which made him regain his confidence , the tone is no longer low and guilty, and asked, "Even if all the soldiers die in battle, will you not compromise?"

"Yes! Your Majesty! No compromise! Even if we are all killed, we must never compromise! Otherwise, how sad those dead soldiers would be!"

"Yes! We compromised, how can we be worthy of those fighting soldiers? Although we can't achieve the chivalry of the knights, it is still possible to sacrifice us!"

"For the Empire!! For Sigma!!"

"For the empire! For the dignity!!"

"."

"Okay! Very good! We are not completely hopeless, but I have to ask you something. Please tell me honestly from everyone present. In order to win the final victory, we must hold back the pace of the Chaos army. But I can't say the specific plan now, but we need soldiers, a large number of soldiers, and a large number of soldiers who are not afraid of death and fight to the death with one order, but unfortunately, the elite troops in the whole continent have almost lost their casualties, so we I need to disturb those former heroes, family members, and friends, and let them return to this world again. Do you think it is okay?" After Carl finished speaking, the whole room fell into silence again, and everyone looked at Carl in surprise. This The question is really difficult to answer for a while.

"Your Majesty! Please forgive me for being unreasonable." At this time, an old man came out from the crowd. One of his legs was made of wood, and one eye was full of colors. At first glance, it was a prosthetic eye pretended by glass stones. "Retired soldier of the former Red Shield Legion! He once participated in the battle to defend the imperial capital. Due to physical reasons, he is unable to serve the empire again. If His Majesty needs it." As he spoke, the old man took out a dagger and continued, "If it is true that there are no soldiers to use At this point, I am willing to use my dead body to fight for the Empire again! For Sigma!! For other people who can live!! Go to the battlefield again!! Born as a man of the Empire! Die as the soul of the Empire! Died twice for the Empire! Three times! Countless times!!!" As he spoke, the old man knelt on the ground with a plop, and handed over the dagger with both hands! ! "The empire cannot die!!"

"Your Majesty!! Please give the order without hesitation! My two children are at the Martyrs Cemetery!! If they knew the current situation of the empire! They would definitely want to go to the battlefield again!! Instead of lying there and worrying about the empire! It's better! Just let them serve the empire once and for all!!"

"Your Majesty!! No family is complete now! Just use it! Please kill me! I want revenge!!!"

　In order to save one trip to the countryside, I stayed for 100 days this time. The environment was worse than the last time I went to the countryside. Last time I went to the countryside, at least there was electricity. This time there was no electricity. Many packages, a stress reaction occurred, and I stayed in the hospital for a few days after I came back. In order to win the battle against poverty, I also worked hard. Each wave sent [-] to [-] people to the countryside, and people from all units went down every day. Stimulating consumption was not enough.
