"What do you think is the purpose of this war?"
Hearing Cruxiu's question, Shen Fu turned around and stared at her. Without waiting for her reply, he told her the answer himself. After today, this was no longer a secret.
"In a sense, the army of this country is not much different from bandits and robbers. Together with the nobles, they are the source of evil in this world. Severe cases require heavy medicine. If they are not purged, there will be no stability in the world. Coming down, that is to say, letting the empire see the hope of victory is also part of the plan, not to mention, for us, there is no risk in extending the front."
Shen Fu's words sounded like a self-righteous madman who cruelly decided the fate of hundreds of thousands of people, but he did believe that he shouldered the important task of changing the world, or that this was also China's mission to go to one world after another and change them. , conquer them, and deeply imprint the Chinese emblem on the destiny of each world.
And for this world, prisoners mean potential crises. Rather than letting them flee in panic and scatter to all parts of the world, it is better to give them the hope of a last-ditch fight, and then catch them all in one fell swoop. As for the consequences of the stretched front, they are transported in Shen Fu's time and space. The ability simply does not exist. No matter where the opponent chooses to break through, he can move all the troops there in the shortest time.
"...I see."
Cruxiu finally understood that the enemies in this war were just ants in a cage from beginning to end, driven into a corner and easily crushed to death.
"Okay, there's nothing to prepare for tonight, you can go and take a rest."
Shen Fu turned around, leaving these words and walked directly to a couch prepared for him. Cruxiu could go back to rest, but in order to prevent possible emergencies, he could only take a nap here. , after all, the "time and space teleportation technology" that improves the entire army's victory guarantee by more than one level depends entirely on him.
At this time, the palace in the imperial capital was brightly lit, and almost all the nobles and ministers in the entire imperial capital were summoned to the hall of the palace.
"We have summoned you here tonight. It is actually a moment of life and death for our country."
The little emperor sat high on the throne, his expression unusually serious, and even a little panicked. However, he looked at the ministers standing beside him and calmed down a little.
"What your Majesty is referring to is the invasion of the north and south by the Huaxia Kingdom. The situation is indeed very serious. In just one day, more than twenty cities have fallen. However, there is no need for your majesty to panic. I will definitely defend the country to the death!"
General Bude in the audience took two steps forward and half-knelt on one knee. At this time, he was the only general left in the empire. Esdeath was nowhere to be found. In this case, he could only protect the country. .
"General Bude's loyalty is really touching to me, but after all, the general has always commanded the Guards in the palace, and the Guards are the guarantee for the safety of the palace. Therefore, I hope that you can summon the army and let Bude The general takes command and goes to repel the enemy."
As soon as the little emperor finished speaking, there was an explosion among the nobles below. Although they lived in the imperial capital, they basically had their own family cities. The little emperor wanted them to send out their own troops as well. Basically shaking their foundations.
"Your Majesty, aren't there still Imperial troops? And although General Esdeath is missing, her troops are still in the north, and they can be recalled."
In the view of these nobles, even if the empire collapses, as long as they still have their own army and wealth, they can guarantee their status, and there is no need to take out the foundation.
"Haha, you guys are really stupid."
There was no trace of panic on the minister's face. As usual, he took a hard bite of the piece of meat in his hand and smiled with his white teeth while chewing.
"Esdeath's men are far away in the north. It will take several days just to send the message. Add in the marching time, how long do you think it will take to attack the imperial capital at the speed of twenty cities a day? And you don't have to In anticipation of surrender, it is said that in all the captured cities, the nobles and their subordinates inside could not even find their bodies! The other side will not accept your surrender at all!"
Swallowing the last piece of meat in his hand, the minister sneered. If it weren't for this, the little emperor would have been able to activate the Supreme Imperial Gear at the end. However, since the other party would not give the nobles in front of them a way to survive, nor would they attack the imperial capital directly, maybe There will be surprises.
The nobles in the audience looked at each other. Their sources of information were not as good as those of the Empire, but this kind of information could not be kept secret for long, and there was no need for the minister to deceive them.
"...Your Majesty, I will write a letter back now and summon the army to obey the general's command."
"The same goes for me, General Bude. I leave everything to you."
"That's all it can do."
"..."
With no choice, no matter how reluctant they were, there was nothing they could do. Many nobles had been preparing to defect to the revolutionary army before, but this Chinese country seemed to have appeared suddenly, and the development of the situation really caught them off guard.
That night Bude spent the whole night analyzing the map and thinking about the marching route. He was a general inherited from his family. Although he was not as long-term as Esdeath, he still had excellent military qualities and easily discovered the disadvantages of the enemy's front.
If you want to open a breakthrough, you can't choose a place with dangerous terrain. It's better to break through frontally with the force of thunder, then go around the enemy's rear and break through the entire front. In this case, then choose this place, the Virginia wilderness!
The next day, Shen Fu did not rush to further reduce the encirclement across the board. Instead, he first stabilized the city captured yesterday and concentrated his forces to attack one side. This was equivalent to deliberately giving up a weakly defended direction and deliberately choosing It is a wasteland suitable for frontal combat. It can be said that everything is considered for the other side. Even if there is a conspiracy, China does not hide its deployment at all, nor does it prevent the other side's exploration. It can be said that everything is put out in the open. superior.
On the other side, the imperial army set off in a mighty manner, absorbing the noble armies gathered from all walks of life along the way. It is expected that when it reaches the battle line, it will be able to gather a huge force of nearly 100,000 people, and will also bring with it all the remaining imperial troops in the empire's inventory. Tools, all weapons, and all members of the assassination force, as Shen Fu thought, this was a real last stand for the empire.
The Virginia Wasteland is a huge wasteland in the western hinterland of the empire. It has a harsh environment and many dangerous species. There is only one dilapidated city that has long been abandoned. However, it is located at the intersection of the north and south directions. It is also the shortest path to the Western Kingdom. .
