Rise of the Empire Total War

Chapter 367: Parliamentary murder

"Damn it! What are they trying to do? Do you force the palace?"

The door was pushed abruptly from the outside, and the sound of cursing followed the movement of the incoming people into the room. Behind this figure in a white robe followed a man in a gray robe. He followed the pace of the white robe and entered. He turned around and closed the door behind the room. When he turned around, the white-robed man was already sitting on the main seat.

"I'm so angry, these **** traitors, who are greedy for life and fear of death, should be thrown into the boiling oil pan to suffer!"

The white-robed man was still cursing there. The gray-robed man underneath listened and couldn't help but uttered: "Your Excellency President, in fact, you don't have to be so angry, I think, even if we follow those cowards , Send someone to negotiate with the Winsters, and the Winsters will not agree."

"How do you say?" The white-robed man, oh no, he should be called Edel Valencia, the president of the general city state, the middle-aged man with the highest status in the entire city state except the high priest, asked suspiciously.

Facing the speaker’s inquiry, the gray-robed man who was a close friend of his smiled slightly and said: "The Winsters have a very clear purpose, to transform us into their vassal state, and to let us lift the vassal of the Cips city-state. Relations, admit that Sipur and his son Phyllis are the most legitimate rulers of Sipus-if we take the first step to execute Sipur in the cage and hang his head on the city gate, you see How would the Winsters react."

"They will be angry because of this and directly reject our request for peace." The president of Valencia quickly understood and followed the questions of his trusted followers. When he finished speaking, the two laughed tacitly.

After this conversation, Edel Valencia bypassed the parliament as the president of the parliament and directly ordered the execution of Sipur, who was locked in a cage. Although the tragic old king was in a jail, he still knew how much. He also knew about the outside affairs. At this time, his son was encircling the city with the reinforcements he had invited.

However, after all, he never had the chance to see his proud heir again. He was forcibly put on a headgear, taken out of the cell, and executed by hanging-I don't know where the leaks are, and the council has also learned about it. In this case, when the members of the council came to stop the execution, Sipur had suffocated on the gallows and died, swinging in the wind.

When the news was passed back to the parliament, everyone was silent. Even the youngest member of the Diet knew it well. With the execution of Sipur, the hope of peace broke down, and Prince Phyllis outside the city was grieving. Apart from that, they will desperately oppose the peace talks, and the Winsters will relentlessly reject their peace talks in order to appease this ally.

All of a sudden, the parliamentarians had resentment against the Speaker of Valencia. They secretly called Edel Valencia a dictator (referring to him bypassing the parliament to execute King Cyper without authorization), calling him a disaster star, and a battle against him. The speaker's revenge also quietly unfolded in the resentment, as if there is a large invisible net covering the entire House, and everyone inside is like a grid, intertwined in it.

All this, Edel Valencia did not know, he was still complacent about his behavior, from his point of view, he defended the freedom and independence of the city-state, should be a hero of the city-state, should be supported by the people , This can’t be said that he is wrong, because he loves the city where he was born and raised him so much, and he doesn’t want this city to become a vassal or puppet of the Winsters.

Their starting point is different, their thinking is also different.

In the next few days, the shelling of Winster’s troops outside the city continued, and bad news spread to Parliament every day, which made the MPs feel anxious and uneasy. In response to the pressure brought by the Winsters, they even even the There was no time to clean up the explosion. Whenever they walked out of the gate of the House, they could see the terrifying pit and the surrounding ruins. All this seemed to remind them that the final moment was coming soon.

Finally, on the fourth day of Sipur’s execution, the parliamentarians finally decided to retaliate against the speaker-general who caused them to lose their discussion and hope. At the regular meeting on that day, a parliamentarian took out a scroll prepared in advance. , Pretending to ask Edel Valencia and approached him slowly. When the congressman slowly unrolled the scroll in front of the speaker, the dagger hidden in it suddenly appeared. Before Edel could react, the congressman grabbed the dagger. , Stabbed Edel's chest fiercely, but he did not expect ~lightnovelpub.net~Edel was once an elite heavy infantryman, he reacted quickly after a short astonishment, and dodged to avoid the stabbing The dagger that came, kicked the attacker over with one kick, and shouted loudly at the people around.

He shouted as if he had sent a signal. The surrounding councillors left their seats one after another and gathered around them. Their expressionless faces made Edel think that they were here to help him subdue the assassin, but soon, He saw the surrounding councillors pulling out their daggers and staring at him with dangerous eyes. Edel was shocked. He looked around, trying to find a suitable route to escape from here, but desperately found that all around were Senators holding daggers.

"What are you doing here? I am your Speaker General, and my personal safety is granted by the gods. No one can violate it!" He shouted desperately, intending to force these congressmen back through verbal deterrence, but to no avail.

"Dictator! Kill the dictator!"

When the senators scattered with the blood spilled from the speaker, Edel Valencia fell into a pool of blood and died of anger. He was stabbed nearly a hundred times and his white robe was almost stained. He became blood-robed, his eyes were wide open, and his face was painful and unbelievable. He couldn't think of it to death. He was clearly to defend the city-state's freedom and independence, so why would he suffer such a fate.

The lawmakers did not deliberately cover up the death of the Speaker. They slowly walked out the door of the House with blood stains all over their bodies. All this was witnessed by the civilians on the street. They surrounded them in surprise and asked the lawmakers what happened. The lawmakers also narrated the story truthfully. Finally, they said loudly:

"We are doing this to save everyone's life in this city, we have no other choice!"
