Chapter 1007 Closbell surrenders

At the end of 1204 in the Seven Lunar Calendar, the civil war that engulfed the entire Erebonian Empire ended.

The civil war started when Gillias Osborne, the Iron Prime Minister, was shot on October 1204, 10. On December 30, 1203, Duke Kane, the leader of the rebel army, was captured alive by the noble son Rufas. "Alliance of the Nobles" full headshot, Emperor Eukent III returned to the royal palace Balfrem Palace to end, lasted 12 months, it can be called the shortest civil war in history, but its scale is not small at all, it brought great impact to the entire empire So is trauma.

In the eyes of future historians, this trauma is not worthless, because this civil war completely destroyed the vitality of the aristocratic system and paved the way for the reform of the imperial system.

In the civil war, various heroic deeds emerged, and a group of world-renowned heroes were also created-such as the core of the Eastern and Northern Coalition Forces "One-eyed" Sykes Van der, "Red Hair" Olaf Craig, for example, the two aces Mulla van der and Netehall who have made great contributions to the front line.

Among them, the most dazzling ones are naturally the two heroes who reversed the situation of the civil war in one fell swoop - "Prince of Debauchery" Olibate Lazer Yanol and "Knight of Gray" Ryan Schwarzer.

Because of the efforts to turn the tide in the early stage of the civil war and the outstanding contribution of the northwest of the empire, "Red Wing" was not sealed like the original world line, but became Olibate's car - the nominal owner is still the emperor, and he accompanied him to the empire. Tour around to stabilize the situation.

It is worth mentioning that when he was touring a small town in the southwest of Sazarant Island, Olibate met the daughter of the local lord's family and started a vigorous love affair.

According to the entourage around the prince, the prince has already met the emperor and the empress with the person he likes. Both of them are very satisfied and will be formally engaged in the near future. The woman felt dejected.

(Olibate: "Ah, beautiful flowers, don't be sad, I'm here to comfort you.")
(Aina & Sheila: "Olivier, come and drink with us, two boxes first.")
(Olibate's teeth trembled: "Get~get~")
Another young hero of the empire, who experienced the legendary "Grey Knight" was busier than Olibate.

On the day of the end of the civil war, he rushed to Crossbell on his own ship "Joker" without even attending the celebration banquet, and directly airborne "Orchid Tower".

The first thing after landing was to convene a meeting of local acquaintances overnight, including Henry McDowell, the speaker of the autonomous state, Sonia, the commander of the police force, and Sergey Luo, the real head of the police station. Section chief Guy Bennings, A-level guerrilla Arios Maclein, the ace of the Guerrilla Association, and of course all members of the "Special Mission Support Section" who play an important role in Crossbell.

When everyone arrived, Li En put two appointment letters on the table.

A document issued by the imperial government for the appointment of Rufas Albarea, a new representative of the aristocratic faction, as the governor of the state of Closbell belonging to the Erebonian Empire. (Lianto Jusis and Rufas asked for it.)
The other is the royal seal of the emperor of the empire, granting Lian Schwarzer the Marquis for life, and the fiefdom as Closbell.

And Li En's meaning is very clear, let those present who can determine the future of Crossbell make a choice.

Choosing the first one means pretending to surrender and secretly resisting.

Choosing the second one means that you are sincerely surrendering.

The civil strife in the empire has been settled, the vitality is seriously injured, and it is urgent to recover. It is impossible to let the fat meat that Crossbell put to his mouth, the difference lies in how to eat it.

The first type is the fastest and most vigorous eating, regardless of the feeling of fat, just eat it comfortably.

The second type is more elegant, picking the fat and picking the thin, killing the fat and not eating the thin.

If you choose the first option, Li En turns around and leaves, and won't interfere with Closbell's affairs, just pretend he hasn't been here.When we meet in the future, most of the time, we will face each other with swords and swords—this is exactly what Li En said many times, maybe one day we will become enemies.

If it's the second type, then it belongs to Li En's subordinates, don't be obedient.

In the name of Schwarzer, Li En promised to give the citizens of Crossbell the same treatment as the citizens of the empire, and there will be no more joint oppression by the two major sovereign states.

The people of the Republic Zhacier, cut him down, and the empire's own people Zhacier, cut him down. As a lord, Li En has the power and ability to deal with it.Even if the dignitaries from all walks of life disobeyed the lord's order, Li En would not miss it. Of course, it is estimated that there will be no new Marquis who is not good at provoking the limelight.

In addition, Li En promised to keep the original structure of Closbell unchanged, just change the brand.

Government affairs are handed over to Speaker McDowell.

The garrison was renamed the National Army and continued to be in charge of Sonia.However, the Tanguram Gate on the border with the Republic needs to be let out, and the regular imperial army will take over the defense.When necessary, Li En will also drive Valimar out to cut the Republic's army out of the country.

The police station is still the police station, with Serge as the director and Guy as the deputy director.

"Special Mission Support Division" endowed special functions similar to "supervising censors" to monitor the entire territory of Crossbell, and once encountering violations of law and discipline, they can directly arrest people without going through formalities, and Li En will take the responsibility.

The conditions are not unfavorable, it is tantamount to a country within a country, almost an autonomous prefecture with a change of direction.

"So what can the Empire get? What can you get?" - Asked Speaker McDowell.

"The empire wants IBC and related interest groups to make up for the losses of the war. Dita and Dita's supporters are unforgivable. It doesn't matter whether their people die or not, but the property must belong to the empire, digesting the accumulation of the Kurois family for thousands of years, The empire will grow stronger."

"As for me, it is enough for me not to be hostile to you, but also to fulfill Lisha's wish and the last duty of a guerrilla before leaving the association."

It wasn't until this time that everyone remembered that Li En was still a Class B guerrilla registered in the association, and everything he did had never violated the core purpose of the association - to protect civilians.

Having figured this out, Arios was the first to express his support for Li En. He could still stick to the purpose of the association in such an environment. Arios believed that it would be no problem for Cross Bell to be handed over to Li En.

With the first one, there will be the second one, and soon Randy, Tio, Waji and others also spoke out one after another—although these people regard Crossbell as their family, they are not born in the local area, and they do not have the deep-rooted "" Independent" plot.

In the end, Henry, Sonia, Sergey, Guy, Lloyd, and Ellie were left with entanglement in their hearts.

Is it the road to "independence" that is extremely bumpy and the dawn cannot be seen, or is it a comfort that is close at hand, is it to plunge all the people into dire straits for the sake of ideals, or let the people get the same equality as other sovereign countries that they dream of? with freedom.

In the end, after a whole day and night of entanglement and bargaining, McDowell gave the answer Li En wanted on behalf of everyone.
