When the Sisi Ikon City and Banxi Fortress near the imperial capital fell, the revolutionary army and various rebel armies could attack the imperial capital as long as they captured the dangerous Luoya Pass. However... their luck lies in this position. It was terminated, and similarly, their overwhelming momentum was cut off here.

General Bude, who lived in the deep palace for a long time and trained on the training ground all day, finally dispatched. He took half of the guards to defend Luo Yaguan, which completely blocked the number of rebels that had already numbered in the millions. Can't leave the imperial capital for too long, Bud himself actually only occasionally goes to Naroya to pass a circle, and uses his presence to boost the morale of the guards. In essence, he always stays in the palace, and he is protected by half of the guards under him. little emperor.

After all... the country is very important, but it is only second, the little emperor is the most important existence in his mind, so half of the guards are in the imperial capital, and they are in the imperial city to ensure the safety of the little emperor.

During this turbulent time, more than half a year has passed since Yong Ye returned from the Iron City.

During this period, the northern border also increased the conscription, which had already been expanded to 800,000 six months ago, and the light and medium-sized mortars and various artillery, due to the continuous manufacture of the arsenal day and night, Yongye also continued to increase production lines, basically They have been equipped with the most powerful standing army of 500,000 people, and the heavy artillery is temporarily only equipped with the general guard directly under Yongye.

Well... Although it is said to be a Guard, it is actually a legion with a total of 50,000, and the Guard is just a deceptive name. This legion not only has heavy artillery, but also is equipped with the best equipment and weapons, and even the newly produced Apocalypse No. 1 Super cannon.

The Apocalypse No. 1 super cannon does not have the range of more than 100 kilometers of the Paris cannon, but it has the upgraded performance of the Gustav cannon. The accuracy, rate of fire, and power can all be said to be Gustav An upgraded version of the cannon.

After all, this has excellent steel that Germany could not produce in World War II, and the loading can also be carried out by huge fortified soldiers. There is no need for the careful loading of cranes and cranes as in Germany, and there are more than a thousand people to go to It serves as many as 1,400 soldiers who directly operate the cannon. It takes a long time to load a bullet, and it takes more than ten rounds a day.

Compared with ordinary humans, it is much simpler for giants to operate giant cannons. The most important thing is that they do not need to reach the position like the Gustav cannons. First, two giant cranes are required to hoist the base, and then the gun mounts, barrels and equipment are installed. It took more than 1,000 people to work hard for three weeks to complete the whole work.

The Northern Territory does not need to be dismantled at all. It only needs four giant reinforcement soldiers to carry them together. It is simple, easy, and fast. Even Yongye can rely on the dimensional square to transfer the giant cannon. After all, in the planet, the dimensional The consumption of the phalanx is not as terrifying as another world.

Weapons and equipment in the north are constantly being manufactured, and the army is familiar with how to use these new weapons. This move has gradually attracted the attention of the empire and various rebel armies, and even aroused their defenses, making them all interact with each other. On the way to attack, pay attention to the movement of the northern border.

And today, in the council chamber of the imperial palace...

"General Yongye, I heard that the troops under your command have expanded again, and have also developed many new artillery weapons? Even the troops have been installed and can be put into use at any time."

In the court hall, the little emperor asked Yong Ye like this at the behest of the minister.

"Your Majesty, where did this information come from?"

"The minister told me."

"yes?"

Glancing at the minister standing beside the emperor, Yong Ye knew that a spy must have entered the northern border and brought this information out. , Strictly manage technical personnel and artillery and ammunition not to flow out, it is already the limit.

"To be honest, seeing the empire's crisis as a military general of the empire, I naturally need to serve the empire. When guarding against the kingdom and foreign nations, I will train troops to invent new weapons, so as to free up redundant manpower to help the empire ease the rebels' belt. pressure."

"I see! You are a very nice person."

The little emperor nodded and praised Yong Ye just after saying this, he turned to look at the fat man beside him who was still eating meat, and asked.

"Minister, that's what he said, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty, since General Yong Ye has said so, then let him send troops. A soldier of 400,000 is enough to solve the danger of our empire. The elite soldiers under General Yong Ye will definitely be able to cooperate with Bude. The General's Guards will wipe out the million rebels in front of Loya Pass."

"It's really funny what the minister said. The garrison troops in the northern border plus the local garrison troops totaled 500,000. If you take out 400,000 soldiers, not to mention the garrison troops, even the local garrison troops have to be transferred there, right? What else? To defend against foreign nations and Western kingdoms?"

It was not clear how much the minister knew about the situation in the North, so Yong Ye decided to test it first.

"As far as I know, the expansion of the army in the north is very large, and the number is probably at least 200,000, right? General Yong Ye is still worried that your army of 300,000 in the north will not be able to withstand the kingdom by relying on fortifications? ?"

"Let's not say that 300,000 is unstoppable. As you know, the information that I recruited 200,000 troops is a mistake. Due to the shortage of food, I actually only expanded it by 50,000. Minister, your intelligence personnel are afraid that Are you exaggerating?"

"It's impossible for my intelligence officers to exaggerate, and..."

The minister is not a fuel-efficient lamp. He bit his flesh to be sure of his intelligence officer's judgment, and revealed a piece of news that made Yong Ye's eyelids jump.

"It is reported that there are also the main forces of foreign nations in the north. They bypassed the defense zone in the north and all appeared in the territory of the empire. It is impossible for General Evernight to not know about it? If he did, why didn't they cut off their logistics? Their logistics can be easily cut off for the North, right?"

"What are you talking about? I don't know about this. It's the first time I've heard of it."

The Yong Ye faction lied seriously, as if it was the first time he heard it, frowning and questioning the accuracy of the intelligence.

"How could it be fake? If it weren't for the dozen or so imperial envoys in the rebel army, and there were a lot of miscellaneous soldiers delaying, General Budd would be able to capture the military leader of the foreign nationality in the north from the army of millions. The official, Prince Numa Sekar, let him kneel in the court and wait for the decision. It is also a definite fact that foreign nations are attacking in large numbers, isn’t the Great General Evernight going to do something?”

"Since you have said so, then I will believe you once and take this opportunity to sweep the nests of foreign nations, conquer their cities, cut off their supply lines, and make them lose their logistics and surrender."

"It's useless. Those alien races have all merged with the rebel army. The rebel army is responsible for material supply. Even if the city that has conquered them breaks the supply line, it will be difficult to change their actions."

"Then..."

At the court meeting, Yong Ye and the minister tried to argue with each other.

Unfortunately, there was no result in the argument, so the minister asked the little emperor to issue an order to let him temporarily live in the palace and not to leave the palace without authorization. It was necessary to directly issue an order in the palace to let the army in the north dispatch King Qin and obey him during the period of King Qin. Imperial order.

"...Is this house arrest? I didn't expect that I would still be under house arrest one day..."

In the palace hallway, Yong Ye looked at the two guard troops beside him who purportedly protected him but were actually monitoring him, and couldn't help but want to sigh.

The two soldiers of the Guards will not be his opponents, at most they will be the numbers that he will kill. The ordinary soldiers of the Guards are also the elites of the local army. This is beyond doubt, but even the minister never thought about it. Relying on two teams of Guard soldiers to kill Yong Ye, that kind of naive idea only a fool would have.

It's just... Once Yong Ye kills the soldiers of the Guards and leaves the palace, it also represents a break with the imperial power and with the empire. In that case, it is impossible to hide behind the scenes and not leave... Then you need to let the soldiers in the north. Now he goes out and obeys the orders of the empire in the process of helping the empire, and he himself will be constantly monitored.

Esdes and Budd, both of them are in the court hall today. There are a large number of elite guards and emperors of the empire around the hall, and even the enchantment-type emperors in the imperial capital are activated. Between the thrones Protected by the barrier, the spatial coordinates within the imperial city were disrupted, and there was no way to kill the minister and the little emperor by surprise.

Obviously, in the early days, the empire had targeted emperors for space emperors like Dimensional Square Shangri-La, so as to avoid the emperor from being killed silently at night.

If the little emperor activates the supreme emperor, plus Bud and Esdes, it will be very dangerous for him to stay here, and this is obviously a deliberate arrangement.

No one wants their snipe and mussels to compete, but the fisherman will benefit, both the minister and the rebel army. The presence of the Northern Territory is too strong, and the recent actions are too big. Not only the expansion of the army, but also the continuous live ammunition exercises to familiarize themselves with the weapons, which makes it difficult for them to ignore.

Gradually, no one can be sure to eat the North directly after the war, and the empire is naturally the same, so...the power of the North needs to be consumed first.

"...watching the fire from the other side for more than half a year, and now it's finally here. I can no longer hide behind the scenes. Is it the moment when I have to stand at the front desk?"

"General Yongye, what are you talking about?"

"It's just talking to myself, and I think..."

On the way to the room arranged by the minister, Yong Ye, who was thinking about the current situation, muttered to himself, so that the guards on the side could hear it a little vaguely. continued to ask questions.

"What do you think... what?"

"It's almost time to act, although it may be too early."

"…Hey?"

"Your mission is over, rest in peace."

Before the guard could react from what Yong Ye said, Yong Ye pulled out the blade at a speed that the guards around him could not notice. .

The blade that flipped over in this twilight slid into the body of the guards from the left. The heavy armor worn by the guards was no different from paper in front of this slash, and Yongye ripped it at the fastest speed. Opened the armor and his torso.

The blade, reflecting the cold metal color, cut off the first target without deviating from the track at all, continued to cross the low altitude, and then quickly captured the figure of the second target.

When the tip of the blade penetrated the neck of the second target, Yong Ye immediately turned to look at the other guards and charged towards them at an extremely fast speed.

"---asshole…!"
