109 Take over(1/2)
Royal Capital, Golden Castle Palace, Imperial Conference Hall.
Becky sat in the main seat, coughing from time to time, her face was exhausted, her face turned pale, obviously unhealthy, and occasionally reached out to massage her chest, making her heart uncomfortable.:.
Since Bill defected, Becky has been angry, but the tribal independence incident has left him with no time to recuperate. These days he has to force himself to give orders and deal with the situation, but his body has not fully recovered.
Other former ministers sat upright in their respective positions, among which the Privy Councilor's seat was suspended, and this was originally Roman's position.
Becky glanced at the only empty seat and snorted coldly:
"Have you found out Roman's whereabouts?"
"No news yet." A minister was cautious.
"Once you find it, tell me immediately, I will kill him!"
Becky gritted his teeth...
Bill was reunited a few months ago. Becky thought that there must be an insider to help, so he organized a large number of people to find clues. Roman and Bill were very close. He checked many times, but he never found it.
But it was not nothing, and it could even be said that it was "a great harvest". Several important officials were found by the palace guards and diverted the focus of the guards' search. Following these people, they followed the clues and found that a large number of important figures had an affair with the outside world and accepted tribal donations.
As a result, the searches became more and more serious, and more people were imprisoned, causing panic among the palace people.
However, one day, Roman suddenly disappeared and was even more moist, swept away a large amount of royal family's classics and stole the royal family's private money.
Moreover, the important palace figures gathered in the prison and were assassinated on that day, which obviously had no connection with him. It even made people wonder whether the "problems" of these people were deliberately framed by Roman.
Moreover, on that day, the Golden Fort lit a fire, burning many people to death, and even the royal members burned several of them to death. Roman also had a huge suspicion.
It was only then that the truth was basically revealed. Knowing that Bill's escape was mostly caused by Roman. The Privy Councilor had long had two intentions and caused huge losses to the royal family.
Becky hated Roman and decided that Roman was the culprit that he planned to go bankrupt.
If Roman hadn't hooked up with Bill, Bill would have had the chance to be moist, and he would have been in his hands long ago!
He had already decided not to let Roman go. As long as he found this man, he would send royal warriors to death no matter what he said.
At this time, the Secretary of Military Affairs interrupted Becky's thoughts and said in a deep voice:
"His Majesty the King, the situation is very unfavorable now. Those rebellious tribes watch over and help each other, and have a new type of alien blood potion. What should we do?"
From the perspective of the empire, all of these tribes that claim to be independent were rebels, and the royal family also claimed this to the outside world.
Becky calmed down and looked anxious at the Sand Table of Terra Empire on the table.
The towns currently controlled by the Terra Empire are marked by blue chess pieces, while the territory of each tribe is colorful. The situation in the sand table is now divided and surrounded by blue squares, and the territory is scattered one piece on the left and one piece on the right, like spots.
The territory that the royal family can still command is the surrounding core area extending with the capital as the center, with only a dozen towns. The cities far away from the capital are separated by the territories of each tribe, cutting off most of the connection with the palace, making it difficult to conduct direct command and mobilize, and the situation is very unfavorable.
There is only one problem facing Becky now.
Should we start a war regardless of the losses, or should we compromise for the time being?
"What do you think?" Becky asked in a deep voice.
Everyone looked at each other speechlessly.
After a while, a minister spoke up and tentatively said: "His Majesty King, although our military strength is superior, we cannot go to war with all tribes at the same time. I think it is better to be more conservative..."
Becky pressed the table's palm and stretched out her veins and said nothing.
Seeing this, the Military Minister couldn't help but say, "We have a low chance of victory. Once we fight, we will be attacked from all directions and will be unable to resist. I do not recommend starting a war."
"Yes, I think the risk of starting a war is too high..."
Someone took the lead, and many ministers at the imperial meeting expressed their opinions, but none of them agreed to start the war.
On the one hand, they are more afraid that the king will be captured and will lose such a powerful life in the future. As for whether the independence of each tribe is orthodox, they don’t care so much.
Becky said coldly: "How can you win?"
Everyone looked at each other.
Finally, the Military Minister pondered and said: "If you want to win, you can only plan slowly. You must consider it in the long run to strengthen yourself, and to separate from the tribes and break up their alliance."
"Tell me carefully." Becky looked at him.
The Minister of Military Affairs cleared his throat and said slowly:
"Our predicament is nothing more than too many enemies, waiting for united forces, we are attacked from both sides and cannot fight against everyone at the same time... So only by changing this can all tribes be solved.
Now the alliance of tribes is stable because of our common enemy. In order to guard against the empire, each tribe will try every means to strengthen itself. But if we compromise and seek peace, as time goes by, each tribe will sooner or later develop, and thus give us the opportunity to unite some of these tribes and defeat them..."
"Will it be unrealistic? Even if the tribes know that the empire is strong, they will not turn against each other even if they have friction with each other. Let us create opportunities, right?" a minister said curiously.
"This is an uncertain thing, I just provide a possible idea." The Military Minister looked at the minister who was demoting the situation and secretly cursed his teammates.
So long-term routes can only be fought for development... Becky's expression is heavy.
If Bill was still there, the royal family monopolized the new alien medicine and continued to expand its army, and it would not be a problem to fight for development. But now this plan has gone bankrupt, and the formula that everyone has is not precious.
The most troublesome thing is that Bill seems to be doing things for the tribe. Who knows whether he will create amazing potions in the future, but instead becomes a tribal monopoly, and the royal family cannot get involved.
However, after forty years of development, the empire still accumulated a lot of knowledge from various tribes and still has huge technological advantages. For example, miracle armed technology is still a card in the hands of the royal family.
So when it comes to developing, it is hard to say that Becky has no confidence.
"I just want to deal with these rebels quickly!" Becky said angrily.
"This..." The Military Minister was struggling for a while before he said helplessly: "If we can mobilize all the imperial hunters, we will not be afraid of going to war with all tribes at the same time."
Upon hearing this, many ministers nodded in agreement.
The biggest advantage of the empire at present is that it is that it has nearly 2,000 imperial hunters under its command. If it is put into the battlefield, it can completely destroy all tribes.
Becky's face turned ugly.
He had considered this method long ago, but the Empire Hunter did not listen to all orders.
In the pursuit of Bill, the Empire Hunter had already voiced opposition. Although he was dispatched, he was just a slander.
If he wanted the Empire Hunter to join the war and massacre ordinary people's army, he could not command at all. Becky had already issued a tentative order and found that there were few responders among the Empire Hunter.
Most empire hunters have a clear attitude to fight strange beasts, so please be smart in civil war.
This situation made Becky quite angry.
In his opinion, the imperial hunter only enjoys the benefits given by the empire but is unwilling to fight for the empire. This is ungrateful!
But Becky had no choice but to do anything. Even if the Empire Hunter listened to the tune or not, he was at least the Empire's team and could not easily give up this powerful force.
However, Becky had a new idea.
He looked around and spoke solemnly: "I decided to select some truly loyal men from the Empire Hunters to form a new army."
The Military Minister was surprised: "Aren't there already royal guards?"
"Not enough, some hunters are willing to obey more orders, but they will not really join the royal family. They still want to be hunters. I want to screen out these people from the imperial hunters to form a more direct army of alien blood and give them better treatment."
Becky said in a deep voice:
"They are still hunters, mainly hunting strange beasts, but occasionally perform other tasks for the royal family, including spying on military information, assassinating enemy heads, killing enemy alien warriors, etc.."
Everyone understood that this was optimizing the team structure and separating the hunters who obeyed the command. From then on, the imperial hunter team became a source of troops on the periphery, and this army was an advanced direct line.
The Military Minister was curious: "Then what's the name of this unit?"
Becky had already had a draft of the art and blurted out:
"Royal Demon Hunter!"
Everyone looked at each other.
Becky became more and more excited as he spoke, saying, "According to my calculations, among the Empire Hunters, there can be about two or three hundred royal demon hunting troops. This is a hunter unit that can be put into the battlefield!"
The Military Minister wanted to speak but stopped and asked, "Who will rule this team?"
Becky said in a deep voice: "Creber is trustworthy. I have already talked to him. He will serve as the leader of the royal demon hunting army!"
"Uh...who will take over him and command the Empire Hunter?"
"Jess! He was the successor, so he took office early."
Becky didn't think so.
Seeing that the king had made a decision and the many ministers had nothing to say, he had to nod and agree.
"When the opportunity is ripe, we will try to start a war and we cannot let these rebels be independent."
Becky's tone was cold and he made the decision on the spot.
Failed to convince the king to admit defeat and compromise, many ministers could only sigh in their hearts.
...
The capital, the imperial hunter's residence.
"Have you heard that the Empire is going to form a new hunter unit, which seems to be called the Demon Hunter Army."
"It seems like Boss Clayber is going to be the commander."
"Select people from among us, and don't know what to do."
In the canteen, hunters gathered together in groups of three or three, chatting about the recent rumors.
To be continued...
