Contrary to the optimism of the citizens of the North, the rebels from all walks of life are extremely troubled by the status quo.

The one-million-strong army they united was blocked by Loya Pass, which was defended by General Bude and the guards, and could not move an inch. The offensive was restrained and morale naturally weakened a little.

At present, this position is not top and bottom, which is very embarrassing for them, because they don't know if they should continue to block here, although it is impossible for a million troops to be in front of this pass, but once the soldiers are withdrawn to the nearby occupied cities and fortresses Organize defense, then it is likely to be defeated by the guards led by Bude.

It is impossible to advance, but it is impossible to retreat, so the revolutionary army is caught in a dilemma.

In the empire, because Yongye killed two groups of guard soldiers and left the imperial capital directly, the imperial capital was immediately put under martial law, and an emergency meeting was also held in the court.

"Judging from the current situation, General Yong Ye can now be sure that a rebellion will inevitably be launched. We must find a way to do it, Your Majesty!"

"How could it be!? I trusted him so much, and gave him the management of the western and northern borders of the empire, as well as a large number of territories and cities close to the border. How dare he betray me?!"

Shocked by this unexpected shocking news, the little emperor who stood up suddenly from the golden throne looked very unbelievable and flustered.

"...Northern territories, foreign nations, and four rebel armies... An empire that has been passed down for thousands of years... Is it going to perish in my generation? Could it be that I did something wrong?!"

"No, Your Majesty did not make a mistake, and His Majesty can't make a mistake. It's just those foolish people and Yong Ye who are ungrateful. His Majesty's painstaking efforts and His Majesty's efforts over the years are all in the eyes of the minister Ernest. Seeing it very clearly, it will cause the current situation to be simply that the ignorant people are too stupid, the rebel officials are too loyal, and they do not understand the hard work of your Majesty's country to protect it so far."

"Minister... My people and officials are rebelling, what should I do now???"

"Your Majesty! Sometimes, mercy alone is not enough. Now is this time, and this is the time! It's your time to show the majesty of the king of a country!"

"Majestic...?...Is I really too gentle?"

Under the consolation of Minister Ornest, the little emperor quickly regained his strength and clenched the golden scepter in his hand, as if he had made up some kind of determination, and looked at Bude and He who said nothing. Esdes.

"I've decided! I can no longer be trapped in the imperial capital! I want to go on a personal expedition! I personally lead the imperial guards in the imperial capital and the local troops who are still loyal to the empire! And you, go and destroy this rebellion! Kill the thieves!"

The sudden decision of the little emperor made Bud raise his brows and immediately gave advice.

"Don't do it, Your Majesty! In case you have any accident on the road... I'm really to blame for death, please be sure..."

"Nothing is impossible! Bud! Are you and your guards protecting the lifeless imperial city, or I? Can't I use all the guards by myself?!"

"This... my duty is to protect your majesty, not the imperial city, but..."

"There is nothing wrong! My will has been decided! I want to show my majesty as the king of a country!"

The little emperor interrupted Bude, who wanted to remonstrate, twice in a row, and decided to go his own way, but this kind of thing... Minister Ornest agreed.

Sometimes children are stubborn when they are angry, so now that no one can convince the little emperor, because Bud is too obedient to the little emperor's orders, so... the matter of the imperial expedition was confirmed.

Chapter 45 When I like someone, do I still need a reason?

At night, in the northern red fortress, everyone in the castle naturally knew about the independence and war this time, but when they heard the "Declaration of Independence and War", everyone's faces were different.

This sudden "Declaration of Independence and War" seems to have dropped a heavy bomb in the castle that was not very calm in the past six months, blowing them all dizzy, I always feel that this is really a bit out of touch Reality, there really is no sense of reality.

Wuming didn't know how to feel about the occurrence of the war, but after knowing the tyranny of the empire, she supported the independence of the North, and Hei Tong naturally chose to support Yong Ye unconditionally. If Yong Ye needed it, she would Will kill the enemy on the battlefield.

Only Chi Tong’s emotions were very complicated. Although Yong Ye gave her the choice to follow her own will and leave freely, she finally chose to stay and wanted to stay with Hei Tong for the rest of her life, because… She also knew that Hei Tong didn't have much lifespan, and she was shaken by what Yong Ye said, and she didn't want to assassinate Yong Ye and Hei Tong.

Of course, this does not mean that she supports raising troops in the north, and she also has no way to start with her former colleagues, so her position is only to protect her sister.

That night, Yong Ye did not return to the castle, but at the strategic command center in the north, he continued to convey one after another transfer orders, and let his direct army, which was already located near the border of the empire, move and bring Tian Qiyi with him. No. super cannon, moving towards the border of the empire, accompanied by a large number of heavy artillery.

Just like the little emperor's personal expedition, he is naturally prepared to attack in person to overthrow the empire's rule.

Although I once wanted the empire and the rebel army to fight to the death, but now... this is obviously unrealistic, so I can only choose to take the initiative.

Now the main force of the rebels is located in Loya Pass, which is near the imperial capital. There are millions of them. However, except for the rebels of foreign nationalities and the local army of the former Empire, most of them are only the kind of armed peasant uprising. Even if there are messy weapons, Many will not have armor, most of them are like militiamen, even worse than the militia.

If you rush to Luoya Pass and flank the main rebel army with the guards, you will be able to wipe out the rebel army as quickly and easily as the autumn wind sweeps the leaves. Of course... either side can actually be, but the two sides can attack faster and more easily. Destroy the rebels easily and with less losses.

Destroy the rebel army and then start the battle with the empire. After the empire is defeated, it will be wiped out slowly. At that time, each area may go to declare independence.

On the afternoon of the second day after declaring independence, Yong Ye, who was always in control of the overall situation, was almost ready for the plan. The army was quickly mobilized, and the logistics staff were also stepping up expansion. one, and then go to war.

In the past six months, the castle is not peaceful when it is said that it is not peaceful, but if it is said to be peaceful, it is also very peaceful. At most, Hei Tong and Wuming will quarrel, but fortunately, with Chi Tong and Sai Liu, they have not been upgraded to Full martial arts.

"Is the war going to start? Is there anything I can do?"

In the hall on the first floor of the castle, Yong Ye first encountered Wuming who was trying to read a book, and before he could speak to praise Wuming for his hard work, Wuming first asked him if he could help him. Seems to be hoping to help.

"I'm very happy that you have this heart, but war is an adult's business. All you need to do is study hard, and leave the rest to me."

Laughing and patting Wuming's head, Yong Ye didn't care about her remarks that she wanted to participate in the war, but after letting her study hard, she bypassed her and prepared to go upstairs.

Before climbing the stairs, he met Chi Tong who came out of the restaurant and nibbled on a piece of meat like pork thigh.

"Yong, Yongye? You... When did you come back?"

"I just came back. In addition, it's better to eat less meat. You can easily gain weight like this."

"...It's okay, I can't eat fat."

"Okay, then whatever you want."

He had two nutritious conversations with Chi Tong, who seemed a little nervous because he met him. Yong Ye, who knew Chi Tong's position was awkward, had no way to ease her embarrassment, so he quickly bypassed her. Going upstairs, Chi Tong, who was standing still, looked at his back with mixed emotions.

In fact, the first goal of Yongye returning to the castle was not to go back to his room to rest, but to go and see Hei Tong.

Breaking with the Empire means that he can no longer use the hot spring water of the Royal Hot Spring, and it is impossible to use it again.

After all, even if he could teleport to the Imperial Palace’s Mount Huangquan Temple using the Dimensional Square, and transfer the water from the royal hot spring to the castle in the north, his behavior of using the hot spring is well known, and it is impossible for the empire not to take measures against this situation. .

Let's not talk about the possibility that Esdes and Bude are ambushed in the Imperial Fist Temple, that is, no one is ambushing there, and if the hot spring is poisoned, it will also be unusable.

No matter how you think about it, it is impossible for the empire not to use the hot springs to do something, so it is absolutely impossible for the royal hot springs to be used without occupying the imperial capital.

So Yong Ye planned to talk to Hei Tong. Although he didn't know what to talk about, he felt that he owed Hei Tong. Of course, he also knew that he didn't actually owe Hei Tong anything, but... but inexplicable. have this sense of indebtedness.

A word to say so? Feeling indebted to the person you like is because you really like each other.

In general, the most equal relationship in the world may be love, because almost all family relationships are not absolutely equal. The concept is very vague, just like the elders feel that they owe the younger generation, but this does not mean that the elders really owe the younger generation. What, the vast majority should be that the younger generation owes a lot to the elders, the most important of which is that the children owe their parents.

However, it is not wrong to say so, but if parents really love their children, they will often feel that they owe their children something. After all, human abilities are limited, and they want to give their children better things and help them more. , but it is often impossible to do all of them, so I will definitely feel guilty and sorry for the child, and Yong Ye's current sense of indebtedness.

"Do I really think of myself as Hei Tong's father or something now?... It shouldn't be possible, I'm not that age, um... At least it doesn't look like it."

Thinking of the source of this feeling of indebtedness, Yong Ye couldn't help but feel a little depressed after he could no longer mention the hot spring to treat Hei Tong.

But in fact, his age is indeed that of Uncle Hei Tong, but his appearance has not changed for more than ten years. He looks only in his twenties. age.

With complicated feelings, in order to avoid any misunderstandings at home, Yong Ye, who did not use the dimensional square, quickly came to the door of Hei Tong's bedroom. In the road, the light forming a rectangle is obviously a very ordinary scene, but it looks a bit strange.

"…cough!"
