Tomorrow's Ark is too real

Chapter 827
It has been more than half a month since the change of the throne and Verin ordered the killing of the infected.

The defeat in Nolan City did not affect anything, as the Central Army, the confidant military region of the empire, was still in full swing.

During many battles, the losses of the Southern Military Region could not be made up at all. Although it was declared 30, the current total strength is far less than 30.

It's like a 5-on-4 tie in Summoner's Canyon. The opponent is not only short of players, but also collapsed in three ways. There is no suspense about winning or losing this kind of game, it's just a matter of time.

Londinium, the royal palace.

Verin sat in the empty hall wearing a holy long dress, a golden crown on her head, and her face was reddish.

Next to her was a wine jug carved with exquisite patterns, which contained the "fine nectar and jade liquid" that ordinary people would not be able to drink a drop of in their entire lives.

Filling it up alone, she raised her head and drank it all in one gulp.

For some reason, Verin, who used to be a teetotaler, learned to drink. She once said that alcohol disturbs the heart, hinders thinking, and confuses precise thinking.

Once upon a time, Verin was still a young girl, and she once complained angrily to her drunken father, King Willanson, at a royal banquet.

"Father, I hate your drinking. After you are drunk, I feel that what I am facing is not the usual you."

Verin is good at trying to figure out the other person's heart, and she can grasp the other person's character through simple communication. It's like an innate instinct, and she is used to seeing through others.

Now, she replaced her father and became the new queen of this country, and her first order after taking office made the country where her father had maintained peace for decades, devastated.

She, who used to hate drinking, picked up the glass.

Perhaps, she wanted to deliberately turn herself into what she once hated.

Or maybe, she was simply numbing herself with alcohol.

"Your Majesty Verin."

A man in military uniform stood in front of Verin. The military rank on this man's shoulders represented the highest authority of the Imperial Army.

Verin put down her wine glass. Although her face was flushed, the wisdom in her eyes was still not confused at all.

"Chief Frey, how is the recent southern war going?"

Frey nodded slightly.

"Everything went smoothly as expected. Through the gap opened by Ganan City, the Central Army marched all the way south. It has controlled 21 cities and killed more than 19 infected people."

Verin's voice was eerily calm.

"It's only 19. Has General Medes of the Border Military Region counted the number of infected people who have recently left the country?"

Frey replied immediately
"Rough statistics show that since the order of the empire, the number of infected people who have left the country is around 60."

Gently picked up the jug, the glass was filled again.

There was dead silence in the hall.

Verin picked up the wine glass on her own, and took a sip slowly and lightly.

Not far away, Frey waited for Verin to finish his drink without making a sound.

a long time.

Verin's ethereal voice came again.

"19 people were killed and 60 people left the country. In other words, there are still more than 300 million infected people in our country. Where are these people?"

Frey replied immediately.

"Comprehensive suppression has been completed in the north, and now the infected people in the country are basically in the south."

This time, Verin's voice was unusually cold.

"Chief Frey, I don't want to hear about the south and the north. The empire has always put the cultivation of the army at the top. Now, a national policy that is beneficial to the country's development is so difficult to implement. Isn't this your dereliction of duty?"

Frey lowered his head slightly.

"It is indeed my dereliction of duty. I have been too indulgent to the Southern Military Region, which led to the current situation. But rest assured, Your Majesty, no one can shake the rule of the Aslan tribe."

Verin leaned lightly on the back of the throne.

"Chief Frey, you should know how to win this stick."

"Of course, it's only a matter of time now."

"Will there be an accident?"

"Absolutely not."

"Are you so sure?"

Frey said confidently.

"As long as the border defense military region guards the country's gates and prevents the country from making unknown interference, the rebellious southern military region will completely disintegrate within a month at most."

"Can General Mendes do it?"

"Your Majesty, rest assured, our border defenses are solid. If the neighboring countries want to break through forcefully, they must mobilize several times more troops and pay an unbearable price. No country will be so stupid as to base huge losses on wars with unknown purposes. , as long as General Mendes sticks to it, it will be absolutely safe."

Hearing Frey's affirmative answer, Verin finally nodded in satisfaction.

"Later, I will ask the Ministry of Finance to allocate 20 billion military expenditures to strengthen the stability of the border military area, so be it, as you just said, one month later, I hope that there will be no infected people in Victoria."

Frey bowed slightly respectfully.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty."

"Well, I'm tired, let's talk about this today."

"Yes, this subordinate has retired."

Verin leaned on Bao's seat, resting her chin with one hand, with an unknown smile on her face.

"Chairman Frey is the chief of military affairs of the empire. According to the wishes of the king, except for the aristocratic and royal etiquette in public, you don't need to call yourself a subordinate to me in private."

Hearing Verin's words, Frey's eyes flickered imperceptibly, and his fists under the cuffs were slightly clenched.

"The royal family is the supreme existence. I will obey His Majesty's orders at any time. The Imperial Army pledges its allegiance to His Majesty Verin to the death."

"Heh, I'm just talking casually. Mr. Frey is talking too much."

Frey bowed again.

"Your Majesty, please rest well, this subordinate will take his leave first."

"it is good."

After turning around respectfully, Frey walked towards the door with a gloomy expression on his face.

At this moment, Verin's voice came from behind again.

"Frey, General Ormon's rebellion, to be honest, you should be very happy."

This time Verin didn't call him Chief, but called him by his first name.

Frey stopped at the door without turning around.

"Your Majesty Verin, you are joking again."

Verin stuck her chin and tilted her head.

"Oh, this is indeed a joke."

After Frey left, more than 30 royal guards wearing golden light armor walked out from the shadows in the corner of the hall.

Taireg, the head of the Royal Knights, was carrying a golden sword. However, although he was still fit and strong at this time, one side of the golden armor was empty.

Putting his only arm on the hilt of his sword, Taireg stood beside Verin, leaned over and whispered.

"Your Majesty, recently, Frey has repeatedly hinted to his subordinates in the military department that Prince Werther is not suitable to lead the Central Army. The reason Frey gave was that members of the royal family should not personally risk their lives. This is the military department. Incompetent performance."

Verin was still lazily leaning on the king's seat.

"Does Frey think that my elder brother can't fight?"

"His Majesty."

"No need to explain, I understand, heh, greedy guys are always impatient."

Verin said leisurely in an indifferent tone.

"General Gleason is dead, and General Ormon has rebelled. If my eldest brother is kicked out of the military headquarters after the turmoil is over, he will have no outsiders in the four major military regions of the empire, heh."

"Your Majesty, do you want to?"

Verin shook her head lightly, with a rare wry smile on her expression.

"As long as Frey has the ability to clear the infected people in the country, it doesn't matter if he completely controls the military afterwards."
