Chapter 1754 Killing Gloves
"It's just a chamber of commerce run by a woman, and it more or less relies on..."
"Shut up!"
Gravus slapped the table with his palm, leaving deep palm prints. His thin lips trembled and he was so angry that he had a headache.
He knew that as an adjutant, he cherished his subordinates, but now was not the time to have a strong attitude or room for maneuver.
He grabbed the cool tea bowl and took a big sip, with a fierce look in his eyes and twitching face, he said: "No matter how prosperous a chamber of commerce is, it cannot compete with the country, but this chamber of commerce has always been kind and helpful, no matter where it is. It has a good reputation everywhere.”
After taking a few deep breaths, Gravus continued: "Unless it is a special situation such as siege, it is basic common sense not to kill civilians and neutral characters in war. But now it is better. The empire takes the initiative to rob the chamber of commerce and kill civilians." , this stain will be like the setting sun, and the darkness will quickly expand beyond our ability to stop it!”
In other words, the imperial army deliberately killed the "priest".
The reputation of the Delos Empire has always been criticized, and now it has only added fuel to the fire, suddenly rising into the sky.
But if you sincerely apologize to a chamber of commerce, it will damage the high morale of the Imperial Army after a small victory.
Because in the eyes of many soldiers, the Chamber of Commerce is just a "businessman" after all, a kind of pawn relying on the circulation of goods. The majestic and glorious Delos Empire can still be controlled.
That centurion had just been awarded a "knight".
However, if we don't give an explanation, I'm afraid it won't be complete.
……
The subsequent development of the situation was exactly as Glavus expected. The crime committed by the stupid centurion was infinitely amplified at this critical moment, causing a huge public opinion storm among the people.
The famous traveling businessman Gabriel narrowly escaped death. Afterward, he smiled bitterly and said that he would go out as little as possible during the war and protect his own personal safety. Everyone knew what the secret irony meant.
The death of more than a dozen civilians completely made the residents of the second territory furious. It was ridiculous and shameful. The soldiers from the first territory coveted their meager belongings and would not hesitate to kill them.
What's the difference between this and the thieves group!
Celia, the proprietress of the Chamber of Commerce, was very angry and said that she could not tolerate the insult of the Imperial Army. The Chamber of Commerce has always strictly abided by the laws of various countries, created value, provided taxation and job opportunities, and relieved poverty.
Diligent and responsible workers are still citizens of your empire. Why are they still being killed by the empire?
Marquis Gravus was worried, but the nobles of Vetalon added trouble out of thin air, shouting that the Chamber of Commerce had unfortunately passed by the war zone, and they would naturally have to bear the corresponding risks and losses.
They have been jealous of the Celia Chamber of Commerce for a long time. At first, this woman used a mysterious gift box similar to a pocket jar, highly effective healing potions, and many gorgeous magic fashions to accumulate the first pot of gold.
Then it got out of hand. Through the strongest adventurers, it connected with cities in various places to provide convenience. There were shadows of the Chamber of Commerce everywhere in the Snowy Land, Xuzu, Vanness, and Tianjie.
Secretly, some people are so jealous that they vomit acid, saying that with the strongest adventurer as their backing, a pig can wear gold and silver and take off in the wind.
But this does not prevent Sai Fupo from being elected as one of the most attractive women in Arad every year organized by other institutions.
The most annoying thing is that the Celia Chamber of Commerce can often get some rare treasures, the kind that even if you have money, you can't buy them, such as a 100 million ice and snow fragrant stone, magic cotton Urimun, super alloy, etc. .
In fact, the nobles who like to compare with each other feel both love and hate.
In the end, the empire could only apologize to its people in a formal and polite manner, saying that the empire loved every citizen living within its borders, and would then provide certain compensation to the unfortunate ones.
As for what happened to the Celia Chamber of Commerce, a decent person from the empire also apologized and was willing to compensate for the corresponding losses. He said that they mistook them for the rebels, and the robbery of property was also said to be the collection of trophies.
Regardless of whether the reason is tenable or not, this is the official answer anyway. We were suppressing the rebels, and you suddenly passed by. Then the wind and sand were too strong, and you accidentally misidentified us.
Moreover, we are willing to compensate and punish the soldiers who committed the crime. There seems to be no fault in the series of handling methods.
Traveling businessman Gabriel expressed that he wanted to see the results of the military's handling of the matter and comfort the souls of the deceased in the Chamber of Commerce. However, a captain said that those soldiers had been punished under military law and it was inconvenient to disclose the specific situation.
A week later... time suddenly seems to be very long, with new news being born every moment, squeezing out every minute of life.
But it seemed to be short-lived, because the strong news kept washing away the memory in my mind. The day when the eldest prince announced that he would make the second territory independent was still quite fresh in his memory.
The imperial army's front line steadily advanced all the way north, compressing the scope of activities of the eldest prince's forces. Its final destination was obviously Aswan, the largest city in the second territory.
However, we still encountered a lot of trouble during the advancement process, which was still caused by our own internal troubles.
The black magician Sarina's desire for destruction is too high and her rationality is unclear, so she often bombs indiscriminately when attacking, sometimes affecting civilians.
This has also caused the Imperial Army's reputation to get worse and worse. But without Salina, and unable to check and balance the now quite powerful eldest prince, he has the power to turn the tide of a war.
Secondly, another brutal murder occurred in the imperial capital of Vetalen. This time the murder took place at the residence of Archduke Brandt, in broad daylight.
Although the Duke's manor was very tightly defended, the mysterious necromantic weapon was extremely destructive and swept away like an afterimage. A dozen guards fell in a pool of blood, and one awakened person died.
Fortunately, Hyde and TEDA arrived in time, and the two strong men joined forces to defeat the undead. It is said that they were only expelled outside the city, but they were still unable to capture or eliminate them.
Therefore, many people have seen the true appearance of the undead body. The other party looks like a fusion body "Frankenstein" made of various materials. There are very prominent stitching marks on the surface of the body, with large chunks of flesh and blood. Tissues are sewn together.
Some ill-intentioned people took the opportunity to claim that this was the necromancy of the dark elves, with the intention of harming the empire. Van Ness must bear full responsibility for this!
It was completely slanderous. Queen Meia would certainly not admit it, stating that the Dark Elves had long banned the making of undead weapons.
Moreover, Weitalun and Dark City are thousands of miles apart. If the Dark Elves are so capable of transporting undead weapons to the core area of the empire, then your empire's defense will be really ridiculous.
Besides, if the dark elves are really that powerful, then they will definitely send more than one undead weapon...
Van Ness also had an unhappy relationship with the Delos Empire. The empire once tried to use its navy to bypass the torrent zone and invade Van Ness's territory, but the Senate noticed it in time and repelled the tentative plot with Magadha.
But not long after, Meia mentioned that the Night Destroyer, the direct bodyguard organization of the royal family, had recently captured a senator who was secretly acting as an imperial spy. Through interrogation, he learned that he had connections with the empire, and had handed over the information about his death a long time ago. The method of refining spiritual weapons.
Queen Meia also frankly announced the name of the contact person. It was a nobleman of the empire and a confidant of the emperor.
There is no storm without fire, and when the house leaks, it rains. President Norton, the alchemist, also publicly stated that the empire had used the high-radiation Terra stone that was born with the transfer phenomenon to irradiate the human body to study possible mutations.
Intended to master other effects of Terra Stone besides "energy".
Bwanga, a Bantu tribe, is active in the empire and his whereabouts are mysterious. He declares that the empire must hand over the Purple Mist Group and pay the price for the blood crimes of history.
A creature suspected of being an ice dragon took away the heart of Mauletus. The empire had a thousand-man army armed with dragon-hunting weapons and tried to assassinate him. In the end, they were annihilated by a breath of dragon breath.
Suddenly, people suddenly realized that the towering building of the empire had lost its original majesty, and its bright aura of being unattainable had slowly faded.
When will this civil strife be resolved? No one can see a glimpse of the future. The empire is still strong, but it also seems to reveal an aura of weakness and decay.
……
"Perhaps I was wrong. The horse hooves of war trample the immortal and lush weeds. Only by reaching out and uprooting can we be completely clean." Lyon whispered lightly, looking up at the starry sky, which seemed to be far away that could never be touched.
"I was wrong. I was too merciful. Our ancestor Heron Baden was invincible and stopped wars with killing, which made Delos's empire glorious for hundreds of years. Now in my hands, the empire will definitely last forever!"
Leon walked into the secret room alone. He wanted to get a relic left by his ancestors, a pair of bloody killing gloves, which originated from the first emperor Heron Baden. His ancestors overthrew the previous empire. These gloves contained unimaginable things. The power of terror.
Later, news came out from Weitalun that His Majesty the Emperor took pity on the people who suffered in the war and would temporarily stop the army's attack to give each other a chance to pursue peace.
In other words, it is quite surprising that Lyon is willing to offer a peace negotiation to the loser.
The second update will be tomorrow...○|￣|_
Maybe I have used mobile payment too much, but now I know that there are white 50-cent coins!
