Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

The streets of Imperial Capital.

Although the coalition forces have been defeated, the war can be said to be temporarily over.

In other places in Imperial Capital, the checkpoints and defensive facilities on the streets have been demolished, but in Dongsi Hutong, the checkpoints have not been demolished.

Even because of the end of the war in other areas, the defense on Dongsi Hutong Street has become tighter.

The reason for this is mainly because there are the legations of John and Gaul here.

From the beginning of the war, this place became a key area, and the streets were filled with soldiers from the Beijing camp.

This also made the Legation of John and Gaul extremely honest. Although they had their own guards, they still did not dare to provoke the Beijing camp outside.

As a result, the war has been going on for more than ten days, but here, no conflict has broken out at all.

This is not the country of John, the people of Gaul are kind-hearted, but the two families together only have a few hundred people, and at this time, there are at least two to three thousand people on the street outside.

So, there seems to be some peace here.

But today, this calmness was broken.

Groups of soldiers wearing dark gray military uniforms and M35 helmets, holding 98K soldiers in their hands, switched defenses with those soldiers from the Beijing camp.

At the same time, strings of Maxims were carried into the fortifications.

After doing all this, another group of soldiers escorted a carriage and came outside the legation of John.

"Gentlemen, we are here. You can go in by yourself." A young man with the rank of major saluted three middle-aged men with Western faces and said.

When he finished saying this, the major left with the soldiers without looking back, without giving the three men a chance to speak.

After the major left, the three Westerners looked at each other, wondering what they should do now.

"Sir Edward, what should we do now?" Ryan asked a little confused.

"Let's go in first, we can't stand on the street all the time." Edward shook his head and said to Ryan and Lester.

Ryan and Lester also nodded in agreement when they heard Edward's words.

The three of them discussed it and walked towards the embassy.

As soon as they entered the legation, a group of guards rushed out with weapons.

Following these guards came Andrew, the ambassador of John, and Alex, the minister of Gaul.

"Huh? Edward? Why are you?" Some thin Edward came out and recognized Major General Edward at first sight.

"Mr. Andrew." Edward said with a helpless smile: "This is not the place to talk. Let's go in and talk."

Andrew nodded. He also understood that something must have happened when Edward and the others appeared here. There were so many people around them that it was indeed not the place to talk.

Andrew and Alex brought Edward and the others into the conference room. As soon as they sat down, Andrew couldn't wait to ask: "Sir Edward, what is going on?"

"Mr. Andrew, this time, our empire has failed." Edward shook his head, feeling quite painful.

"Failed? How could it be defeated?"

Although Andrew had some bad feelings in his heart from the moment he saw Edward and the others, he still hoped that when the war ended, it would be the victory of John's country.

"Sir Andrew, Daxia is far from being as weak as we thought. They now have a powerful army that can rival the empire. We were beaten by them and were unable to fight back." Ryan on the side said slowly.

Hearing what Ryan said, Andrew and Alex didn't believe it at all.

Can it match the mighty army of the Empire?

You must know that the Gallic Kingdom is known as the first army in Europe. Being able to obtain such a title shows the strong strength of the Gallic Kingdom.

Now tell him that the army of Daxia is on the same level as that of Gaul. This makes Andrew and Alex not believe it at all.

"It's true." Ryan understood what Andrew and Alex were thinking. If he hadn't experienced it himself, it would be difficult for him to believe it.

Later, Ryan told him exactly what happened after he and Brigadier General White landed.

Including Daxia has artillery that can match theirs, and heavy machine guns that they don't have.

When he said that the soldiers of the two battalions were wiped out by the Great Xia Kingdom in less than five minutes, and they were unable to rush forward from a distance of only a few dozen meters, the faces of Andrew and Alex showed , panic finally occurred.

When Edward mentioned that his fleet was sneak attacked by the Daxia people, and those Daxia people braved the naval guns to launch a charge, Edward and Alex exclaimed in surprise.

They never imagined that someone could really risk a naval gun charge. How much courage would it take?

But what happens after the surprise? Confusion appeared on Edward and Alex's faces.

"Sir Edward, do you mean that we lost this battle?" Andrew asked.

"Although I don't want to admit it, in fact, we did lose this time." Edward nodded helplessly.

"What if we continue to draw some troops from other areas?" Alex on the side asked with some unwillingness to give up.

"Sir Alex, I don't think it's feasible. The empire's focus is now on Europa. We need to deal with the challenge of the Hans Empire in Europa."

"Half of our troops in the East have been deployed this time, and more than two-thirds of our battleships have been deployed."

"We no longer have troops to mobilize in the east. If we want to mobilize troops, we can only mobilize troops from the mainland. Otherwise, we will not be able to control other areas in the east."

"And if we mobilize troops from the mainland, it will take less than half a year to get through. Another point is that when we mobilize the troops from the mainland, it will naturally affect the local defense force."

"If the Hans Empire sees us deploying a large number of local forces and launches a sudden attack, it will be difficult for both of us to deal with the Hans Empire's attack." Ryan looked at Alex and said slowly.

Alex's face darkened when he heard Ryan's words.

He is not a fool. When he heard Ryan's words, he understood that what Ryan said was true.

After the new emperor of the Hans Empire came to the throne, he has been clamoring that the Hans Empire is the most powerful empire in Europe.

The powerful Hans Empire still exists but does not have much territory, which makes the ambitious Emperor Hans very dissatisfied.

He even made it clear on many important occasions that he would use force to open up some territory for the Hans Empire.

These words are clearly directed at the John Empire and the Gallic Empire.

Both Alex and Andrew understand that Europa is the center of gravity of the empire, and even said that in order to withstand the attack of the Hans Empire, the top leaders of the two countries have decided to give up some interests in the East.

At this time, troops were mobilized from the mainland, and then fell into the quagmire of war with Daxia. Andrew and Alex could guarantee that within three months, the hot-tempered emperor of the Hans Empire would definitely lead him allies, launched a war against John and Gaul.
