My villain wants to save himself, but the yandere heroine disagrees

Arthas was not as incompetent as he had shown in front of Rosalin. After Rosalin left, most of the things in Saint Laurent City were planned and completed by him alone.

At this moment, inside the palace.

"Are you ready?" Arthas looked at the potted plant in front of him. Behind him, the raven stood there respectfully.

"If nothing unexpected happens, the Imperial College will probably be burned down tonight. In the worst-case scenario, they will also know the fate of the Imperial Family."

Raven said so.

"Okay, I want them to learn a lesson."

Arthas said this and continued to give the next order.

"Raven, please do me one more favor after this."

"Your Majesty, please speak."

"Help me get rid of the coalition's current acting commander."

Chapter 3: Ultimatum (K)

Imperial College, dormitory area.

At Arthas' request, Rosaline has been staying in the Imperial Academy these days. At first, she was trying to make progress in the negotiations with Orson, but later, as the war became increasingly unfavorable to the royal family, she knew that no matter how much she negotiated, she would not be able to make any progress. She could only listen to Arthas and stay in the Imperial Academy.

Then, time turned into night.

Not long after Rosalyn returned to the dormitory after having dinner at a restaurant on the commercial street, she heard a commotion outside.

She opened the window, and then, in the distance, a blazing fire came into her sight.

That direction was clearly the commercial street where she had just had dinner.

In addition, she also saw flames in the direction of the Student Union Office Building, the square and the teaching building.

The teachers on duty rushed to the scene as soon as possible and began to put out the fire. However, the fire was so big and there were too many places on fire that they could only put out the important places first.

Rosalyn also joined the firefighting operation.

The fire lasted until midnight before it was put out.

……

The next morning, the Imperial College Board of Directors and the Student Union held an emergency meeting to discuss the fire that had occurred yesterday.

This fire was a disgrace to the Imperial Academy. In its hundreds of years of existence, the Imperial Academy had never experienced such a large-scale destruction.

The destruction and burning of the buildings this time are secondary. After all, buildings can be easily rebuilt under the power of magic.

The biggest impact caused by the fire is the "safety" issue that Imperial College is most proud of.

Because of the exception in the inheritance crisis of Saint Laurent City this time, the academy accepted the court magician and others who were traveling with Elsa, and a series of events broke out since then.

Therefore, the council meeting in the early morning, in addition to reviewing yesterday's issues, also had one most important function, which was to impeach Luca.

"Dean Luca." A board member spoke first, pointing the finger at Luca.

"It was your instruction to let Elsa and the accompanying court magician in. Now the Imperial Academy is in disgrace because of your wrong instructions. I think, as the dean, you should be responsible for this matter, right?"

Hearing this, Luca was silent for a while, then nodded.

"You are right. I am indeed responsible for this matter and I cannot shirk it. So I have decided not to participate in the election of the Imperial College Council. How do you think?"

You know, with Luca's reputation and ability, he will still be able to sit firmly on the throne of the dean even in the next Imperial Academy election. Even if this incident happened, as long as it is properly controlled and the impact is eliminated in time, he will still be quite competitive in the next election.

But now that Luca has made this degree of concession, it is already giving considerable face to the royal family.

But it was clear that the royal family was still not satisfied.

Luca wants to delay for more than a month, but the royal family needs to control the Imperial Academy now.

"Dean Luca, do you mean to say that you will continue to sit in the position of dean before the next election?"

Another council member also expressed his objection.

"How can it be that good? Luca, you should be held fully responsible for this incident. I propose to impeach Luca and elect the next president of the Imperial Academy starting today."

At this time, Orson, who was attending the meeting, put forward his own opinions.

"Everyone, isn't this a bit too hasty? You know, the handover of the dean is not a simple matter. It's just that Dean Luca has been re-elected in previous years, so it seems very direct. But in fact, if you want to change people, you need to prepare for the handover some time in advance. If you impeach Dean Luca today, the Imperial Academy will fall into a state of 'no management' chaos for a period of time, and the results of a hasty election will definitely not be good. So even if you want to impeach Dean Luca, you need to go through a formal election and have a suitable successor, right?"

Hearing Orson's words, the council member who had made the suggestion earlier frowned in dissatisfaction.

"Orson, can I understand your words as a conspiracy between you and Dean Luca, intending to control the decision-making and management rights of the Imperial Academy?"

"That's not worth it." Orson smiled when he heard that.

"As a student of the Imperial Academy, I will only stay here for two more years at most. Why should I do this? As for you, is a month really that long? Is it long enough for Dean Luca to change his reputation in this month? Or is it because of other reasons that you can't hold out for more than a month?"

Hearing Orson's aggressive words, the other party could no longer sit still.

"President Orson, please stop slandering me. Besides, your student union also has an unshirkable responsibility for this fire. I haven't impeached you yet."

"I'm sorry, the student union election is next semester, which is more than a month away. If the students are really dissatisfied with me, I will naturally lose the next election, and you will naturally not see me anymore."

"Oh, I may have forgotten. I may not be able to see you first."

……

On the other side, outside Saint Laurent.

After encountering symbolic resistance, the army of the Duke of Orleans stopped where it was and began to tie down part of the royal army, while the armies of Antica, Naples and Prussia arrived outside the city of Saint Laurent unimpeded.

Outside the city, the three armies were commanded by Lucius, Duke of Antica, Martin, the military minister of Naples, and William, Duke of Prussia. The three stationed troops outside Saint Laurent and then sent envoys into the city.

Outside the city, the three successfully met.

After Martin was forced to join Litt's army last time, he made many military achievements along the way. In addition, Litt had good abilities, so he originally planned to take him back to Antica. However, because Martin's lover was still in Florence, he chose to stay and build the Duchy of Naples, which was in need of reconstruction.

The Duke of Naples had the smallest army in this expedition, but that did not prevent them from being the most staunch supporter of Orson.

In the coalition's central camp, Martin met Lucius, Duke of Antica, and William, Duke of Prussia.

He and Lucius had met once before. It was after he had just joined Litt's army. As an adjutant, he accompanied Litt and met the commander-in-chief Lucius.

Therefore, as soon as he entered the military tent, he immediately knew who the two people here were.

He greeted the two dukes respectfully, and then asked:

"When do we enter Saint Laurent City?"

After hearing Martin's words, Lucius did not respond and turned to look at William.

Seeing this, William knew that Lucius had tacitly agreed that he would become the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, so he said:

"We have sent people into Saint Laurent City to tell His Majesty our demands. If His Majesty agrees to our demands, we will withdraw our troops and leave. If His Majesty disagrees, we will have to enter the city and fight."

Now the mercenaries and royal army commanded by Litt each control half of the land of Saint Laurent City, so they naturally control the two city gates.

Therefore, they did not need to spend time attacking the city of Saint Laurent, which had the tallest and strongest walls in the empire. They only needed to enter the city through the two gates controlled by mercenaries.

On the other hand, after receiving the letter sent by the coalition forces, Arthas showed an expression of "as expected".

“The army still rebelled.”

In this situation, maintaining so-called "absolute neutrality" would be treason, Arthas knew.

Since the army does not want to get involved in this dispute and does not want to be liquidated by the royal family, it should stop other armies as well. In this way, during the post-war settlement, at least they can say that they blocked the enemy's reinforcements. But now, standing by and watching themselves being attacked by the enemy's reinforcements is undoubtedly a blatant betrayal.

The demands expressed in the letter that the coalition handed to Arthas were almost identical to what Orson had previously told Rosaline.

Restoring reputation, admitting mistakes, etc., once done, it would be a declaration to the world that Alsace came to power illegitimately.

Under the circumstances, there was absolutely no way he could accept such a thing.

Looking at Langdon beside him, Arthas gave the order.

"Langdon, open the armory and arm all the people in the area we control. Let them go to the battlefield and rush to the front line."

Langdon frowned when he heard the order, and then asked, "Your Majesty, is this not a good idea?"

In war, sometimes the more people there are, the better it is not necessarily.

Just like the current situation, if the residents of Saint Laurent City are armed, although they can provide certain help in headcount, these residents who have never received systematic military training and have never been on the battlefield will undoubtedly be seeking their deaths once they come into contact with the enemy's mercenaries.

In this situation, those who are sent to die will not make much contribution to the war situation, but will instead undermine the morale of the regular army behind them.

Once the morale of the regular army drops, the war will be really over.

What's more, those residents may not necessarily accept this request. If they encounter violent resistance when recruiting them, the losses caused at that time will be unnecessary losses beyond the battle.

This decision was indeed inappropriate, and therefore, Langdon wanted to correct Arthas's idea.

"What's wrong with that?" Arthas asked back.

“Conscripting these citizens at this time will not be of any help, Your Majesty,” Langdon advised.

"What should I do? My army has betrayed me. Outside Saint Laurent City are all Elsa's reinforcements. They gave me face and called me Your Majesty because of our past relationship. Once the deadline is passed, they will rush in and tear me off the throne!"

"If I don't rely on these subjects now, what else can I rely on? What else can I rely on?"

"You are a soldier, you must obey orders, do it now!"

Seeing that Arthas didn't listen to him, Langdon sighed silently in his heart, then nodded.

"understood."

Chapter 1: Irresistible (W)

Ever since the city of Saint Laurent fell into civil war, the lives of the residents have become a world apart from before.

The city of Saint Laurent is not like the countryside. Most of the citizens have received a good education, so when faced with such political turmoil, they know how to protect themselves.

Robin is a carpenter in Saint Laurent. Because the furniture he makes is strong and durable as well as beautiful, both ordinary citizens and dignitaries are willing to ask him to make furniture. Robin was able to move into the main urban area of ​​Saint Laurent at the age of over 30. He has a beautiful, gentle and considerate wife and an obedient and sensible daughter.

The war did not affect the street where Robin lived these days, so Robin was able to go out to buy supplies.

But everyone knows that with the war going on, it is difficult to get things in from outside, so prices are rising. Robin spent almost half of his savings to buy enough supplies for his family to live on for one and a half months.

But as the days passed, Robin watched the supplies at home dwindle day by day, and the smiles on his wife and daughter's faces gradually disappeared, and he felt a lot of pressure.

Fortunately, during this period, the royal family symbolically distributed some supplies that met the minimum living standards to the residents in the controlled area every week, so that Robin's family could live without such financial difficulties.

Early in the morning, Robin heard a sound coming from the street and drowsily opened the curtains. As the sunlight came in, he saw a long queue of residents on the street.

Soldiers lined up on both sides of the street, and then a group of conscription officers forced their way to the doors of each house, knocking on them one by one. After showing a document, they forcibly took the owners away regardless of their wishes.

Some household owners who still wanted to resist were directly picked up by the soldiers and forcibly dragged away.

Some of them had wives, children and the elderly, who stood at the door and complained about the soldiers, but the soldiers remained unmoved.

"Dad, why is it so noisy outside?" At this time, Robin's daughter Sally opened the door, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and asked in confusion.

"It's okay Sally, everything is fine outside." Robin was just about to continue comforting her daughter and let her go back to her room to continue sleeping when there was a hurried knock on the door downstairs.

Sally was also awakened by the knock on the door, and then she looked at Robin.

"Dad, are there any guests coming today?"

"Not a guest." Robin shook his head, then came to Sally and hugged her.

"Sally, listen to Dad, go back to your room and sleep, and ignore whatever happens next, okay?"

"Yeah." Sally nodded obediently after hearing that.

At this time, Robin's wife Ines also came to Robin's room.

She slept with Sally yesterday and just woke up.

"Robin, what's going on down there?"

"Take Sally back to her room first, and I'll talk to you later."

Robin said this and walked downstairs.

The knocking on the door became more and more urgent, as if the person outside was going to use violence to break it down if the door was not opened.

Robin came to the door and opened the door to the room.

Then, as expected, an official stood at the door and showed him a document.

"Hello, sir. This is our conscription document. In order to defend the emperor's glory, we need you to go to the front line and kill the enemy for us. If you agree, you can go with us to get the equipment now."

"Do I have the right to refuse?" Robin said with a wry smile as he listened to the recruiting officer's words.
