Transcendent Ember

Chapter 655 Conspiracy
The Nicholas dynasty's first battle to wipe out the Roentgen rebels shocked everyone's eyes.

No one expected that this battle would end with the Nicholas Dynasty losing a sixth-rank extraordinary creature, thousands of mid-level third-rank extraordinary creatures, and countless lower-rank soldiers.

On the side of the Roentgen Dynasty, there was not even a single person killed or injured. This kind of strong contrast shocked many military experts.

On the Internet, the live broadcast platforms incorporated by the Roentgen Dynasty broadcast the latest battle reports in turn:
"Fast news, His Excellency Piedman rushed out of Tumaco City, and killed eight fifth-rank extraordinary and more than 30 fourth-rank extraordinary of the invading Nicholas Dynasty."

"The latest news, Your Excellency Piedman became more and more courageous in the battle. Uraps, who was seriously injured, was unable to confront him. He retreated for three thousand miles and still did not run away. He was severely injured by His Excellency Piedman and escaped with a life-saving ability."

"Update, His Excellency Gabriel led the army out of Tumaco City. The Nicholas Dynasty army, which suffered heavy casualties, was about to collapse. Most of the territory of Yagorus Province has been taken over by our dynasty!"

"Our army abides by the principle of 'no offense against Minqiu', which is well received by the people of Yagorus Province."

"Your Excellency Huang Donghe formed a second army of about 3 people, broke out from Aldenan Province, cut off the retreat of the Nicholas Dynasty army, and our army won another big victory."

……

Listening to these battle reports, many people in the Roentgen Dynasty silently gave up some ideas in their hearts, and for the first time had a little recognition for this new country...

A small county town in the northern part of Yagorus Province, where the Nicholas Dynasty army temporarily stationed.

The collapsed county government building, Nicholas VI was covered in dust, his face was ashamed, and he looked extremely embarrassed, but compared to the physical embarrassment, the unknown anger in his heart distorted the emperor's mentality.

"Pi! De! Man!" He gritted his teeth and looked at Zalonglifu who was lying in a pool of blood and several fifth-rank priests, as if squeezing a few words through his teeth, "I can't spare you!

"Pass down the order and let the soldiers regroup. I will fight this gang of rebels to the end!"

All the officers looked at each other, but no one responded.

The army was defeated like a mountain, and retreated all the way from Tumaco City to this county seat. After several hard battles, the soldiers who were already seriously injured were exhausted to the extreme, and their morale was extremely low.

During the retreat, countless soldiers were killed, lost, and fled. The original 80 army now has no more than 40.
In contrast to the Roentgen rebels, Huang Donghe promulgated an attractive military merit system, and with the momentum of great victory, it attracted countless extraordinary creatures to join, and the number of troops has exceeded 30.

Under such circumstances, Nicholas VI actually wanted a decisive battle? !
The officers were somewhat at a loss as to how to respond.
"A bunch of trash!"

Seeing that his subjects did not answer, Nicholas VI couldn't help being furious, but instead of scolding, he suppressed his anger and said, "You don't have to worry, a mere group of rebels are just showing off with Piedman, a sixth-grade extraordinary.

"I have already ordered the troops from all walks of life staying at the border and the imperial guards to come to support them. When the reinforcements arrive, he, Piedman, is just a turtle in the urn, and the rest of the rebels are mobs, nothing to mention.

"Now I need you to raise your morale, fight a wonderful counterattack, and completely extinguish the arrogance of the rebels..."

The expressions of the people present changed slightly.

Howard couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty wants to transfer the border army to join the war?"

You know, when Nicholas VI originally planned to start a war with Gu Yue, he mobilized 50 troops from across the country.

As a result, there are very few garrisons left in the provinces, hardly less than [-], and only the border troops are slightly more.

But after the independence of the Roentgen Dynasty, Fang Yun once again mobilized the army. The garrisons in the provinces have basically been mobilized, and the border army has only the lowest number of soldiers left.

As a result, the 20 army was defeated without a fight, and was absorbed and digested by the Roentgen Dynasty...

Now Nicholas VI actually wants to transfer all the border troops to join the war. In this way, the border is almost undefended.

Without the border army, many alien beasts could not help approaching civilized countries...

Nicholas VI glanced at him, and immediately understood what he was worried about, and said confidently: "Mr. Howard, don't worry, the strength of the Border Army and the Imperial City Guards are well preserved, and they will definitely defeat Piedman and severely damage the Roentgen Rebels." military.

"As soon as the fighting is over, I immediately order them to return to the border.

"In addition, I have ordered Talem who stayed behind in Penderby to sign the conscription order.

"Hmph, I have a deep foundation, and I don't know how many extraordinary creatures there are. Millions of troops can replenish it in the blink of an eye. I have ordered Talem to send some of these recruits to support the counter-insurgency, and some to the border.

"These recruits may not be powerful enough, but they are enough to defend the border for the time being."

The words of Nicholas VI lifted the spirits of Russell, Capet and others a little.

Yes, the Nicholas dynasty is powerful and has a profound foundation. It can be supplemented by a million troops in the blink of an eye. This time it is just a missed opportunity.

On the other hand, the Roentgen dynasty is nothing but a mess, and only a few victories have gained some cohesion.

But as long as there is a defeat, the country will fall apart in an instant.

It is not so easy to build a country...

Only Howard, Fang Yun and others still looked worried.

After the meeting was adjourned, Capet, Russell and other officers began to act to spread the news that reinforcements were coming.

However, Howard stopped someone: "Master, please wait a moment."

"Master Hou." Fang Yun stood upright, turned his head, looked at Howard calmly, and seemed to have expected him to stop him.

Howard suggested, "Have a drink together?"

"Heh." Fang Yun smiled and asked, "I've been defeated to this point, Lord Hou is still in the mood to drink?"

"Master misunderstood..." Howard shook his head, "Coffee, it's just coffee, not wine."

Fang Yun said again: "Now that this county has been taken over by the army, almost all the stores are closed, can Hou Ye still find a place to drink coffee?"

Howard smiled and said: "Please Mr. Xiang for coffee, how can I go to the store outside? There are high-quality coffee beans and a full set of tools in the storage space below... Don't look at me like that, us nobles, What is not lacking is the ability to maintain elegance in any situation.

"Master Xiang, let's find a place to drink and chat?"

Fang Yun didn't say anything this time, he nodded and said, "It will be arranged by Lord Hou."

The two came to a remote and quiet barracks. Howard took out tables, chairs, benches and coffee grinding tools like a conjuring, and ground two cups of coffee smoothly, one for Fang Yun and one for himself.

Fang Yun closed his eyes, raised his hand and fanned gently, fanning the aroma of coffee into his nostrils, his eyes lit up, and praised: "It is indeed the private possession of Lord Hou... You can still drink this kind of coffee in this place, hehe, Master Hou will really enjoy it."

Howard didn't answer this question. After seeing Fang Yun take a sip of coffee, he just said: "Master, what do you think of His Majesty's will just now?"

Fang Yun put down the white cup, and said indifferently: "As a subject, what is His Majesty's will, I will just follow it. How dare I have any ideas. It is Hou Ye, why are you asking this?"

Howard's expression was serious, he looked left and right, and then popped out a prohibition with his fingers, and then continued: "Is the Prime Minister serious? Do you really want to see His Majesty continue to be self-willed?"

"Willful?" Fang Yun smiled slightly, "Master Hou, isn't it good to use this word to describe His Majesty?"

I still want to do something wrong. Howard shook his head lightly and said: "Master, when I go to Dongyue Province with your majesty, you are the one who stays at the Panderby prison country. You should know that the food shortage for nearly half a month, How much impact did it have on the dynasty?
"Don't rush to deny it, we all know that in this era, all walks of life are intertwined, and one link is wrong, and the other link is wrong. In the past half month, many people only saw the food crisis, but did not see it. All walks of life have been shut down, and the entire country has been dragged into a bottomless abyss.
"In this case, His Majesty still wants to go to war. Isn't this capricious?"

Fang Yun didn't answer immediately after listening, but pondered for a while, and then said: "Otherwise? His Majesty needs a big victory to calm his anger, and the dynasty also needs a big victory to boost people's hearts."

Howard nodded: "I know, this is also the reason why His Majesty came directly from Dongyue Province to suppress the rebellion, and also the reason why he was so aggressive, but...
"The counter-insurgency went well, but now the counter-insurgency is already struggling. The successive failures have shaken the hearts of the people and made the dynasty's situation as dangerous as walking a tightrope on a cliff.

"Your Majesty's conscription at this time is tantamount to sending a signal that a dynasty is in jeopardy. I am worried that this signal will stimulate neighboring countries, and I am also worried that this signal will stimulate some ambitious people."

Fang Yun's expression has become very serious, and he looked at Howard with burning eyes: "Master Hou said so much, what exactly do you want to say?"

Howard was also extremely serious, and met Fang Yun's eyes without showing any weakness, and said: "I think, given the current situation of the dynasty, we must stop the war immediately and recuperate."

"Master Hou wants to let go of the legality of the Roentgen dynasty?" Fang Yun asked.

Howard: "As long as the dynasty gets through the difficult situation in front of it, cleaning up the Roentgen rebels is like eating and drinking water."

Fang Yun's eyes flashed brightly: "Oh? May I ask what tricks Master Hou has?"

Howard conjured up a map of the Nicholas Dynasty, pointed to several provinces occupied by the Roentgen Dynasty, and said, "Although I was deeply surprised by Huang Donghe's courage to rebel, I still feel that this person is unlikely to achieve great things. Too sentimental, in memory of Karl, chose to start the rebellion from Dalton Province
"Dalton Province, Aldenan Province, Southern British Columbia Province and other provinces occupied by the Roentgen rebels are located in the south-central part of the dynasty. They neither border the Caesar Dynasty nor the Ancient Moon Kingdom. We just need to close the airspace. They are completely isolated and helpless, and if they want to trade with any country, they can only go to the south to cover the soil, and the master knows the danger of covering the soil."
