"—As expected, it's the opposite...!!"

"---hateful…!"

The extremely fast death of the companion made the remaining guards monitoring Yongye finally reacted from Yongye's high-speed slash, and drew their swords to prepare to counterattack, however...

He didn't even have time to finish speaking, but in this moment, Yong Ye slaughtered all the guards around him with lightning speed, and then he kicked the guard's two-handed sword. The two-handed great sword flew out and penetrated a man in gray clothes who was sneaking behind them.

Ignoring the spy who must have been monitoring his behavior, he casually swung the knife, all the blood on the knife flew out, and was thrown aside on the guard's helmet whose knife had just been pulled out halfway, and then continued on his own way. pace, and quietly sheathed the knife.

Walking slowly along the way, he walked for a long distance in the palace as if strutting, until he felt a riot in the imperial city, guessing that the bodies of the two guards should have been found, so he immediately Speed ​​up the departure.

Melt into the wind with a gust of wind, greatly reduce your sense of existence under the protection of the wind, use your intuition to avoid the dense traps in the palace, and then climb the city wall before Bud and Esdes come with the Tegu envoys to block , jumped out of the imperial city, directly escaped the interference of the imperial city's enchantment type emperor's space, and used the dimensional square to directly transfer himself back to the north.

"...I didn't expect that Yong Ye's guy actually had evil intentions, and I trust him so much! That abominable minister also gave the Dimensional Square Shangri-La to Sheila's rebellious trash bastard, and now let that chaotic minister and thief Yong Ye. Got it."

Bude, who led the guards in the palace, and Esders, who brought a ticket of imperial envoys, arrived at about the same time, but unfortunately they only saw the Taiji gossip map that was gradually dissipating after the transfer of the dimensional phalanx.

"Haha, it's interesting, that's how it's interesting... It's very interesting."

Contrary to Bude, who was already in a state of fury with his face full of livid, Esdes was genuinely excited for Yongye's behavior from the inside out.

Because in the eyes of Esdes, the current empire is not chaotic enough, and now the northern border has also launched a rebellion, then it is the real chaos in the world. After they have solved the surrounding rebel army, they can still fight with the northern border.

This situation of increasing the number of enemies is unavoidable for ordinary people, but for her, it is simply something she can't ask for.

The more enemies she has, the more excited she is. Even if the enemy may kill her, it doesn't matter. Even if she dies, she will die bathed in blood on the battlefield, fully enjoying the war and devastation.

Even her own destruction is also a pleasure for a battle madman of Esdes' level. If there is no war and no one can ravage and torture her, that is something she cannot accept.

"Stop laughing, now it's time to go back and discuss how to face the rebels in the north and surrounding areas."

Bud is very clear about Esdes' character. Bud, who is already full of anger, is accumulating unbearable anger in his heart, so he ignores her undisguised excited smile on the side, just glances at Esdes He took the guards and turned back to the imperial city.

As soon as the imperial city returned to the north, Yong Ye knew that the war had to start early, and... it was almost time to mobilize.

Although there is no snow in the northern summer, it is still cold and windy. Standing on the northern land, staring at the west-sloping sunset, I stepped into the northern central military government building in the red fortress.

Hmm... This military government building is not a modern kind of building, but a large seven-storey western-style building in line with this era.

Yong Ye returned to the power center in the north, and immediately there were a large number of staff members who pushed them to the side to get out of the way, and bowed their heads with their right hands against their chests.

Facing this common scene, Yong Ye just nodded and said nothing, and went all the way to the building. After recently imitating the armored city, he made a radio station and equipped it with the communication department of the radio station.

As soon as the door of the Communications Department was opened, Yongye immediately saw a large number of communications soldiers, in accordance with the newly compiled northern code based on the text of this world, to disseminate the instructions from the center to various places, and also to receive the information sent by the place.

"—General Yong, Yong Ye!?"

The person in charge of the communications department and the correspondent, when they saw Yong Ye, immediately stood up, looking surprised.

Yong Ye stretched out his hand and pressed it, motioned them to sit down, and began to issue orders.

"Don't look at me, all sit down and send telegrams, the imperial capital's minister Ernest and the little emperor are incompetent, the general Bud did nothing, trying to imprison me in the imperial city, now I order, the legions in the northern regions The chiefs and their subordinates are ready for war, and the executive heads of various regions also mobilize the people to be ready for war.”

After the order was issued, he gathered his staff at the Northern Strategic Command Center to start thinking about the declaration of independence and further preparations for the war.

When the night came, the dark clouds gradually covered the moon, and Yongye also completed the "Declaration of Independence and War". Of course, this can also be regarded as a war mobilization order.

[The empire is already rotten, and the tyranny of the empire has lasted for too long. The empire has suffered too many people, constantly framed Zhongliang, harmed the people, and created appalling tragedies one after another.

Corrupt officials of the Empire looted the Empire, ravaged our people, burned our towns, and took our lives. The Empire continues to slaughter, destroy and wreak havoc within its own borders, and its cruelty and despicability have no precedent even in the most barbaric times.

The emperor of the empire is no longer worthy of being the head of a country.

The empire, which has no value for saving, is still trying to bring the north into its control, forcing the army of the north to suppress the people of the north, and becoming the executioner who kills our relatives and friends, hoping that we will die of our own relatives and friends. under a friend.

And I, as the Supreme Commander of the Northern Territory, representing all the troops and officials in the Northern Territory, must not allow this kind of behavior to occur!

So in order to fully ensure our safety, the safety of our wives and children, and to ensure that we are never endangered by this unprecedented tyranny, I solemnly declare as Supreme Commander of the North.

The Northern Territory will cancel all allegiance obligations to the Empire, sever all political relations with the Empire from now on, and officially become independent! And enter a state of war with the empire that attempts to invade us! ] The military organization in the north is that every 5 infantrymen are organized as "Wu", commanded by the captain; 5 "Wu" (25 people) are organized as "squads", commanded by the captain; four "squads" are organized as "Squadron" (100 people), commanded by the squadron leader; five "squadrons" organized into brigade (500 people), commanded by the brigade leader; five "groups" organized into "regiment" (2500 people), commanded by the regiment leader .

Remaining above the regiment level are brigades composed of four regiments (10,000 men), and regiments composed of five brigades (50,000), commanded by the brigade commander and the legion commander respectively.

This is Yongye's modification of the personnel in the North Territory combined with the modern organization. After another expansion of the army, the North Territory now has a total of 800,000 troops, that is, 16 legions.

Now all the legions are activated. In addition to the four legions remaining on the western defense line, which are necessary to guard against the kingdom, there is also a legion left behind in the north.

The army left behind in the north first dispatched a brigade of troops to attack the cities of the alien ethnic groups in the north, preparing to use the alien ethnic groups there to experiment with new artillery.

The rest of the legions are setting off from their respective stations on a large scale to gather at the junction with the empire, preparing to launch an attack on the empire.

The radio waves of the "Declaration of Independence and War" were scattered all over the northern territory, and at a special intention, the declaration was posted on the notice board and spread all over the streets at a very fast speed almost after receiving the news of the radio waves. Residents of the first-, second-, and third-tier cities almost knew the news in less than half an hour after the telegram was sent out that night.

Because of the people who saw the notice board, they were all excited to tell each other and spread the Declaration of Independence and War. After all... Although the northern border has been very safe for so many years, it has been under the pressure of the empire not to let imperial officials enter , did make people in the north feel at ease.

But they always have a big stone in their hearts, that is, the northern border is still subordinate to the empire. If one day Yongye compromises with the empire, won't these people be finished?

It's all right now, the big stone in my heart has finally been put down, and it's like a festival. They all clapped their hands and said that they were running to tell each other.

"Independence! War begins!!"

"The North is independent!"

"The war is about to begin!!"

"Give the empire the necessary punishment!!"

"Master Yong Ye should be the emperor of the empire!!"

"Long live the Lord of the North!!"

...

It is necessary to carry out the necessary propaganda before the war, at least to improve morale.

Therefore, this is destined to be a sleepless night. Just after the declaration was issued, the entire northern border, from the army commander and administrative officials, down to the ordinary soldiers and ordinary civilians, showed a state of war frenzy. Among them, I am very much looking forward to this war.

Now the North has obvious advantages over the Empire and the Revolutionary Army in terms of national strength, technological level, and armament. The people will naturally believe that the North will definitely win the final victory in these three-way battles.

The vast majority of people in the northern region, as if they didn't sleep this night, were discussing the matter of war and independence, and they didn't seem to have any fear of war under normal circumstances.

You must know that this is not a war in the game. Only soldiers will die. In real wars, civilians are often killed and injured more than soldiers. Once the war is defeated or the war situation is unfavorable, and if it is driven within the border, the civilian casualties will continue to rise.

It’s just that perhaps it was influenced by the general environment. It is difficult to find people who are afraid of war in the north. People are deeply in the frenzy of war, and there are no people who oppose war and independence. Or, if there is such a thing , then he will immediately be regarded as a heretic, and it is very likely that he will be burned at the stake by the people who are in a frenzy of war.

The rebels and the empire, limited by the level of technology, are still using flying pigeons to pass books, so there is no way to know these things in the first time, but... the spies in the imperial city of the empire told the city about Yongye. outside insurgents.

In this way, both the empire and the rebel army can infer the possibility of the North's impending independence through Yongye's behavior in the Imperial City and the current events without knowing the realities of the North.
