Chapter 61: The Inevitable War (Part 2) On the other hand, when the wheels of war rumbled again and the armed conflict between the empire and the Chinese was about to break out, he was detained at the Arnus Hill State Guesthouse. Princess Pinna, who acted as a hostage, was also shocked to find that she was stuck in the cracks of the wheels of war. "Those people from other worldsreally responded to the emperor like this? Such vulgar wordsthis copy can't be fake, right?" In the luxurious suite of the hotel, he watched Pei Nizhu, the captain of the White Rose Squadron, give The two letters he brought were copies of the surrender letter sent by Emperor Saushar to the people from the other world, as well as the reply from the people from the other world. Princess Pinna, the leader of the Knights of the Rose, was caught off guard and suddenly looked confused, and then she had a big head. fight. "It should be true. Anyway, Sochar's envoy did say so. And the small force of aliens who stayed in Italica City directly persuaded Sochar to surrender after Sochar's envoy left with a reply. A copy of the letter and the reply were posted at the city gate, and then they retreated from the city. "Penizhu replied with a wry smile, "The city of Italica is in a mess now, and many people are preparing to escape." " Then why did you come here instead of maintaining order? Well, it has nothing to do with me anyway. I don¡¯t know what the outsiders will do to me! Also, Petunia, it¡¯s over. At this point, why don't you just leave the team and go home, instead of throwing yourself into the trap?" Princess Pingna sat slumped on the sofa, sighing with dull eyes: Gods! How did things evolve to this point? According to Princess Pinna¡¯s thoughts before she came to Arnus Hill, both the Imperial Senate and the new emperor, her second brother Diabo, had a sensible and conservative style. Faced with the unfavorable situation of the empire, which is now full of rebellions and teetering on the edge of collapse, it will definitely deal with the arrival of outsiders with caution, and will never rashly use weapons and ask for trouble. The aliens seemed to be quite restrained, at least there was no sign of wanting to take advantage of the situation. Although the empire opened the space-time gate on Mount Arnus in order to plunder the other world on the other side of the gate, it was publicized to the entire continent and could not be concealed at all, and people from other worlds had already known about it. But after all, the two sides have not really started fighting, so there is still room for easing negotiations. In Princess Pingna¡¯s view, because of the restrictions of the ¡°door¡± itself, it is impossible for outsiders to stay on the Falmat continent forever. Just hold on to the attitude of stalling for time and slowly negotiate with people from other worlds, but the negotiation must not collapse. Or paying a certain amount of concessions and prices appropriately in exchange for opportunities to communicate with each other and learn the culture, technology, knowledge and experience of people from other worlds is the most reasonable choice for the empire. Who would have thought that her reckless and violent eldest brother Sochar would actually succeed in his rebellion, defeating the Senate and the Praetorian Guards in such a short period of time, and killing his second brother Diabo, who had already ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. After seizing the emperor's throne by force, all Princess Pingna's previous plans came to nothing. And her Knights of the Rose also suffered heavy losses at the end of the war. Chief Instructor Gray Alud, who was sent back to report the arrival of the aliens to the Imperial Senate, unfortunately died in Rendel City. Among the entourage of more than a hundred riders, only Red Rose Squadron Captain Shirley Pluto Diluhagan managed to escape back to Italica City. The others either died on the battlefield or were separated along the way. unknown. ??Then, the exchange of letters between Soshar and the people from the outside world was full of mutual harm, which ruined Princess Pinna's last glimmer of hope. The war is destined to break out, and Emperor Soshar may not care about Pinna's life or death in the hands of outsiders. Since ancient times, the royal family has always had weak family ties and constant fighting. Even Pinna's father, Emperor Molt, usurped the throne from his nephew. Strictly speaking, Diabo's throne came from a shady origin. As for Soshar, who openly rebelled and seized the throne, since he could kill his second brother Diabo for the throne, even if he did not hesitate to make the entire continent a river of blood, he naturally would not care about the life of his half-sister, who was not close to him. What's more, when her father died, Princess Pinna was the regent of the empire, and Diabo took over the throne from her. Although she couldn't help herself at the time, Brother Soshar would probably not understand her difficulties, but would only regard her as Diabo's remnant! And, no matter what, some members of her Rose Knights also participated in the Battle of Rendel City and stood on Diabo's side under the orders of the Senate. If this matter is discovered by Soshal's investigation, I'm afraid the hostility towards Pinna will be even deeper. Desperate, in a dilemma, at a loss Anyway, Princess Pinna has no idea what to do now. And in the current chaos of Falmat Continent, people who have no idea what to do are far away. Princess Pinna is not the only one?. "Go home? Your Highness Princess, are you kidding me? Now, how can I still have a home to go back to?" Baroness Petunia Fleur Galgi smiled miserably, "Soshar has already An order was issued to deprive the Galgi family of their title and confiscate all my family's property! My family was captured and slaughtered because of their use of force against Sochar's army. Only my mother fled to Italica. Come to me" "What? !" Princess Ping Na's eyes widened, "Brother Soshar Why can he do this?" No? He is already the emperor! Of course he can do whatever he wants, and there is a reason." Pei Nizhu continued with a sad smile, "It is said that not long after he became emperor, he suddenly suffered an assassination. The investigation and pursuit of this assassination case soon turned into a purge of all imperial nobles, and the punishment was unprecedentedly severe" ¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù ¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù In fact, when the nobles and knights in Italica just heard that Sochar won the civil war and ascended the throne , the immediate reaction was to accept fate and submit. After all, this imperial civil war is still a family matter of the royal family. Now that the result has been achieved, it¡¯s time for outsiders like them to stop: Didn¡¯t you see that after Emperor Diabo was killed, half of the remaining senators surrendered? In this case, why do these weak and marginalized figures continue to fight against Emperor Soshar? Even if the reputation of this new emperor is not very good, are there too many mediocre kings throughout the ages? Just hold your nose and endure it! Therefore, when Emperor Soshar's envoy came to the city of Italica, both the Knights of the Rose and the Count of Formal entertained them extremely hospitably and offered a lot of bribes, even within the Knights of the Rose. , and some people suggested that they want to capture a small group of alien officers and soldiers stationed in the city as a gift to the new emperor. Fortunately, most people in the city still had fresh memories of the floating warships that soared in the sky and oppressed all living beings in the past few days. They really did not dare to seek death. In the end, they rejected this idea on the grounds that "the two armies are fighting without killing each other." Crazy idea. However, shortly after Soshar's envoy left with a reply, a horrifying news spread from the other side of the Romanian mountains: Emperor Soshar, who was stationed in Rendel City, suddenly raised his butcher knife and started killing. The imperial aristocracy that had just surrendered to him carried out a general purge! Approximately shortly after the envoys who persuaded the aliens to surrender arrived in Italica, Emperor Soshar was suddenly assassinated while reviewing the army. Although Sochal himself only suffered some scratches and the assassin was killed on the spot, it still aroused Sochal's extreme indignation and ordered a thorough investigation of the case Later, it was discovered that it was several elders who were pretending to surrender. An ambitious general planned the assassination, but the problem was that the matter did not end there. Since the above-mentioned criminals all committed suicide out of fear of crime before being arrested, or tried to escape early without knowing their whereabouts, but failed to capture any important survivors, Soshar believed that there must be more rebellious thieves lurking under the water, so He appointed several of his confidants and favored officials to form a special court to hear the assassination of the emperor. The results can be imagined. Through random arrests, beatings and fighting each other, the scope of the suspects' involvement seemed to snowball. It's getting bigger and bigger, and it's obviously very targeted: the nobles and lords who once supported Diabo's proclaimed emperor, the nobles and vassal states who once sent troops to support the Senate in countering the rebellion during the civil war, the imperial senators who have surrendered, and even just The noble lords who stayed out of the matter and remained neutral were all accused of treason one after another, and their titles were all revoked. Their territories and properties were confiscated by the royal family, or used to reward heroes who stood on Saushar's side during the civil war, especially Those foreign kings who enthusiastically sent troops to support Soshar. At this point, the so-called "Great Rebellion" trial has developed into a crazy act of revenge, or a feast of wealth for the victors of the civil war to carve up the empire. One after another, families with hundreds of years of history were massacred, their territories and titles were transferred to others, and their property was turned into salaries and rewards for legionnaires; large swaths of the empire's territory on the border were simply sent to various satellite countries to help them fight. Directly occupying The people in Italica City who originally thought they could stay out of the incident did not escape the catastrophe in the end. Because Count Fomar of Italica was also implicated in this great rebellion, Sochar ordered his title to be revoked, his fief to be confiscated, his land to be placed under the direct jurisdiction of the royal family, and all family members to be executed. As for the noble ladies of the Knights of the Rose, many of their respective families were implicated and in trouble. But on the other hand, there are also some female ridersBecause ?'s family took refuge in Saushar and sided with the victors of the civil war, they received rewards and seals. However, the land they were granted was confiscated from the homes of their colleagues in the Knights. So, with the news of the great rebellion, The news came one after another, and the estrangement within the Knights of the Rose became increasingly serious. Some people began to escape and flee, and then the internal strife of the Knights of the Rose broke out. After a brief melee, because they did not have the upper hand in numbers, the rebellious female knights who supported the new emperor had to escape from the city with their attendants and servants, and the rebellious White Rose Captain Pei Ni Zhu was put down. In view of their own strength, Even if he is weak, he can only abandon the city and run away. ¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù ¡°¡internal strife broke out in our Knights After that, the Earl of Formal also lost control of the entire territory. At that time, I only had about two hundred troops in hand, and with the dozens of armed maids in the Earl of Formal, it was impossible to control an army of the size of Italica. City." Penizhu explained to Princess Pinna why she had to flee to the Arnus Hills, "and the militia in the city refused to obey our orders and did not dare to resist the new emperor's crusade. Army. In this case, let alone the regular army of the empire, even if a slightly larger bandit group comes over, we will definitely not be able to defend the city. Then, the cities to the west of Italica are currently blocked. It has been forcibly taken over by the nobles who supported Sochar and their private armies. The Elbe Kingdom in the south also sided with Sochar in the civil war. To the east is the Romanian Mountains. On the opposite side of the mountains is Sochar's army, except for the Arnus Mountains. Apart from Qiu's aliens, I don't know where else I can go" "Oh! Oh my god, how could my Rose Knights get to this point?" Princess Ping Na? She rubbed her temples in pain, "Penny Pearl, how many people are left in the Knights now?" I feel depressed and have scattered a lot along the way." Captain Pei Ni Zhu replied with a dull expression, "Now, except for the people who were with you before, there are only five knights and thirteen left in the entire knights. The attendants and twenty-two servants are now being entertained by the outsiders for dinner Oh, by the way, Countess Fomar and her maids have also escaped with them! The officials met and questioned" "That is to say, the entire knights were added up, and there were still ten knights and a total number of less than a hundred" Princess Pingna couldn't help but put her hands on her forehead, and she felt a wave of pain in her heart. Sadness, and then relief after giving up on oneself. Having come to this point, how can she still care about the Knights of the Rose? Even if the knights are still full, what should she use to support them? What else does she have in her hands now? The palace that once belonged to her has been destroyed by war and floods. As for the fiefdom, she has never obtained it. Even the title of Imperial Princess may not be recognized by Emperor Soshar No, he probably won't notice his sister. Just from the fact that he didn't mention himself in any of his negotiations with the aliens, it was obvious that Soshar didn't take her to heart at all. ¡°Well, in that case, where does she have the capital to worry about others now? Who knows when several heavily armed green-clad soldiers will break in, announce that they will be arrested and taken to the dungeon. Or even worse, how about taking a useless person like himself hostage to the execution ground and executing the sacrifice flag? Princess Ping Na was thinking this in a hazy state, and at the same time she staggered back to the dormitory and lay down on the bed. She didn't even have the intention to continue talking to Pei Nizhu. ¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù ps: Although I am heartbroken, I still wish you the best Happy Valentine's Day everyone, come and feed the dogs!
