Reborn: Imperial Officer Promotion Guide

The Empire has been established for 1,834 years, starting from a small merchant republic to a great empire with a vast territory stretching to the horizon.

A total of 137 generations of emperors were born.

A great king is born almost every hundred years.

Among them, it was Emperor Cyrene V who transformed the republic into an empire and established a monument in the name of the emperor for the first time.

Establish a monarchical system, use violence to eliminate incompetent nobles in the country, promote civilians and recruit talents from all countries.

With the assistance of civilian heroes led by Gilusas Saga, Cyreius V launched a large-scale expedition against neighboring countries and truly established the foundation of this thousand-year empire.

Because of his decisiveness in killing and love of war, Xiliu V was feared by the surrounding countries and civilians at home, and was even given the title of "Blood Emperor".

And that was more than 1,500 years ago.

Now, more than 1,500 years later, many people have forgotten the iron-blooded emperor of that time.

As a result, the burial place of the Blood Emperor was about to be handed over by his foolish descendants to the mountainous aliens that Emperor Xiliu V hated the most in his life...

"Do you know what this means?" Captain Lorenzo looked at Colonel Giroud Magnus as if he were a dead man. He gritted his teeth and there was a hint of disappointment in his tone.

The empire has the most stringent criminal laws in the entire continent, and there is no escape even after death.

That is digging up the ancestors' graves and whipping the corpses...

Colonel Giroud Maguno and Major Schneider were offering their ancestral tombs to the foreigners, and also offering whips and hoes for digging the emperor's tomb.

"You!" Captain Lorenzo pointed at Colonel Giroud Magnus' face: "You guys!" His finger then pointed at Major Schneider.

"For committing such a heinous crime, all your territories will be confiscated, all your property will be seized, and you, your family... and even your relatives within three generations will all be executed!"

That's right, at this point, an agreement on territorial exchange has been reached.

The empire can either choose to fulfill this humiliating treaty and hand over its ancestral tombs.

But this concerns the prestige of the royal family and the dignity of the nobles and common people in the country. His Majesty the current emperor will never allow such a shameful act of betraying ancestors to happen.

Then we can only refuse to perform the treaty.

This not only means that the Empire has torn up the armistice agreement between the Kumin people with its own hands, causing the Empire to lose face among the countries, but it will also attract the covetousness of other major powers.

The North is about to be plunged into war again. The Kumins will form a united front with the recently defeated principality to launch a war of revenge against the Empire...

For causing such a huge loss, Colonel Giroud Magnus and Major Schneider and their families will inevitably be held accountable.

He became the great sinner who took responsibility for this major diplomatic incident, and none of his hundreds of people, including his wife, children, and elders, survived.

Even after death, you will be infamous for eternity.

Only a thousand years had passed, and yet he had forgotten even the location of the Blood Emperor's tomb.

Could it be that the branches of the mighty tree of the empire have really become rotten to this extent?

Or have they, apart from cracking down on their political opponents' abuse of power and wealth, thrown the interests of the country and the honor of their ancestors to the winds?

When Colonel Giroud Maguno learned the extent of his crime, he was so angry that he picked up Major Schneider.

"Look at what you have done! Why didn't you investigate it in advance? Now that we have signed a treaty with the Kumin people, how can we make up for it!!!"

After saying that, he threw Major Schneider aside. The force of the throw was so great that Schneider almost fainted.

Fear and the instinct for survival made him crawl to Colonel Giroud Magnus' feet with difficulty and hugged Colonel Giroud Magnus' trouser legs.

"Colonel! Please don't be angry. There is still room for maneuver. Please let me communicate with the Blue Queen and re-draft a new territorial exchange treaty. In this way..."

With a "bang", Colonel Giroud Magnus kicked out Major Schneider's front teeth with his leather shoe.

"You idiot! Do you still want to dig a hole for me? You're seeking death yourself, don't let me get involved! How can I let you handle such an important matter?"

Colonel Giroud Maguno looked at Captain Lorenzo and said, "Lorenzo... I'm sorry, I'm not virtuous enough to listen to the slander of such a villain. I've made you suffer these days. Can I let you handle this matter..."

Captain Lorenzo sat down beside the bed as if his soul had been taken away.

"I'm sorry... I don't think... I have the ability to do this."

"Since you have been the ones pushing this matter forward from the beginning to the end, and the territory was also demarcated by you and Major Schneider, this matter naturally has to be done by you. I just hope that the Queen of Blue can give in..."

Captain Lorenzo was too tired and really didn't want to get involved in this matter anymore.

Fortunately, there are still ten days left for the territorial handover. As long as we can reach a new agreement with the Queen of Blue within ten days, there will be no problem.

Looking at Colonel Giroud Maguno, who had aged ten years in an instant, Captain Lorenzo thought of the day when he first arrived at the Northern Fortress.

I have been very grateful to Colonel Giroud Maguno for his care over the years.

Captain Lorenzo finally softened his heart and was unwilling to see Colonel Giroud Magnus and his family being executed.

"If you feel it's better if I'm around, I'm willing to accompany you on this journey."

Colonel Giroud Maguno nodded heavily, then gritted his teeth, turned around and walked to Schneider, grabbing his hair and saying, "Now, prepare the horses immediately! We will go to the Arugeel Defense Fortress again tonight! Even if you have to kneel down and lick the soles of the Blue Queen's shoes, you must ask them to agree to our request to change the territory!"

As he spoke, he looked at Ling again: "You too, there is no time to rest now, take the necessary information and start drafting a new treaty on the way! Remove Julong Mountain and leave enough space for the Queen of Blue to make an offer. No matter what conditions they put forward, we have no choice but to agree!"

Colonel Giroud Magnus looked at Captain Lorenzo for help.

Captain Lorenzo still had a stern face and ignored him. He just straightened his back with difficulty, sighed heavily, and walked out of the house.

"Heer...was all this arranged by you?" This thought silently came to my mind.

The next morning, four fast horses arrived at the Arugeel defensive fortress and, as an exception, received a special summons from the Blue Queen.

"Colonel Giroud Maguno, and Ling... this is... Captain Lorenzo, right? It's only been half a day, what brought you here?"

Queen Bashiya naturally skipped over Major Schneider, who looked embarrassed.

"Well... this is a sudden matter. Please forgive us for our intrusive visit. Actually, there are some problems in the treaty of territorial exchange."

"Problems? No problems, right? I have also carefully reviewed the contents of the treaty myself, and I don't see any problems?"

"Yes...it's like this..."

Although Colonel Jiru Maguno looked anxious, he still tried to remain polite: "For some special reasons, we cannot deliver the territory of Julong Mountain to you... Can you allow us to choose another territory for you in exchange and sign a new treaty?"

"Huh?" The Blue Queen immediately turned cold. "What a joke... We've drunk the wine, signed the treaty, and I carefully selected the territory for Major Schneider on the map. Now you tell me that it can't be delivered normally because of you? Colonel Giroud Maguno, are you serious?"

"I'm really sorry, but we really can't hand over this territory...so..."

The Blue Queen coughed lightly, then looked at Colonel Jiru Maguno with an extremely surprised expression: "Do you mean to say that you want to tear up the treaty of territorial exchange, cancel the armistice agreement, and officially go to war with us, the Kumin people?"

"No, no, no, no! I definitely don't mean that! What I mean is, can we give up another piece of territory? No! I can give up all my territories in the north, Ash Valley, Green Plain Village, and..."

Queen Basia sneered, then snapped her fingers, and suddenly a dozen Kumin warriors rushed in and surrounded Colonel Jiru Maguno and his men.

"I'm sorry, unlike you imperial people, we Kumin people value our promises very much. Even if you offer me the capital of the empire in exchange, I will not agree. I advise you that if you continue to pester me, you will officially declare war on us..."

Major Schneider immediately fell at the feet of the queen, banging his head against the floor. "I'm so sorry! It's all my fault! Please agree to our request no matter what! I beg you!"

The Queen glanced at Major Schneider and spoke slowly in unusually fluent Imperial English.

"You still remember that day, the day we met to negotiate. Do you remember how you insulted me that day? You said something like a sow in heat... a mountain monkey... a dung pile... and so on. I didn't slaughter you on the spot because of the armistice agreement!"

Major Schneider raised his head, his eyes full of fear, and looked at Colonel Giroud Maguno, who was also shocked.

"You...actually said such rude words to the Queen?" Colonel Giroud Maguno grabbed his hair in disbelief.

"Disrespectful? It's more than disrespectful. It's a collective insult to us Kumin people... This guy thought I couldn't understand the Imperial language and insulted me in person with extremely vulgar words. What? Ling, didn't you tell Colonel Jiru Maguno about these things?"

When Ling was asked this, she also found that Colonel Giroud Maguno was staring at her.

I really didn't know how to answer, so I could only lower my head silently as a sign of agreement.

Just when both sides were deadlocked, Captain Lorenzo stood up and said, "Your Majesty, please allow me to apologize to you on behalf of Major Schneider. I swear on the honor of the imperial soldiers that we will give you a satisfactory answer to Major Schneider's insults to you. What do you think, Colonel Giroud Maguno?"

Colonel Giroud Maguno immediately took over the conversation when he was called: "Yes! This is all my fault for not disciplining my subordinates. We will not tolerate such a major diplomatic incident. Please give us some time. After that, we will definitely give you a satisfactory result."

After hearing this reply, Queen Basia finally let out a long sigh and a smile reappeared on her face.

"Well, since Colonel Giroud Maguno and Captain Lorenzo have said so, I am willing to believe you."

"Regarding the matter of re-signing the territorial exchange treaty..."

Colonel Jiru Maguno hadn't finished speaking when the Queen raised her hand again and interrupted him: "Don't worry, there are still nine days left. This incident was caused by your mistakes. You can't let us, the Kumins, take the responsibility for your empire."

"If you want to take back the agreed Julong Mountain, please come up with an alternative plan. As for the negotiator with us... this Major Schneider is obviously no longer suitable. How about this, let your Lieutenant Helheim come to talk to me."

"We Kuming people respect the strong. If it's him, it's not impossible to discuss it."

Hearing the Queen's consent, Colonel Giru Maguno finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Captain Lorenzo and Ling Ze were both startled.

They both guessed almost at the same time that the territory exchange was indeed a trap set by Hull from the beginning...

But when exactly is it?

After the fortress defense battle, Hull was suspended from work for reflection. He had not gone out and had no contact with the outside world.

How did he set this trap?
