There is a lord who just wants to draw cards, what's wrong with that?

Aurora has always been at an advantage in the battle thanks to her Eternal Spear Gungnir and excellent marksmanship and archery, but it is still a bit difficult to kill the opponent.

The main reason is that his level is too low, and he is unable to exert the full power of Gungnir...

Afu is in a balance.

The Alliance seemed to have prepared a countermeasure long ago and arranged an opponent who was also an assassin for Afu.

The two of them would only occasionally engage in head-on confrontation, and the rest of the time they would wait for their chance in the dark. Their confrontation consisted of protecting their teammates from assassins and killing their opponents.

The only area where the Imperial officers were at a disadvantage was the Alliance Army, which almost had them overwhelming.

This shows how much water the Imperial Army had put into the peace over so many years.

Domi sighed, thinking that even if there were no problems within the Imperial Army, it would only be a matter of time before they were defeated by the Alliance. Just based on their basic qualities...

Thinking of this, he flashed to the side of the imperial officer, helped him avoid the enemy's fatal blow, and then casually stabbed him in the throat.

"Thank you... thank you..."

Domi ignored him and watched the fight between the remaining four people.

He could easily kill the two top fighters of the alliance in seconds, but he didn't do that. Instead, he wanted to take this opportunity to test Aurora and Afu's actual combat capabilities. He couldn't protect them all the time.

But the two did not disappoint Duomi's trust, and killed their opponents one after another, making the high-end battlefield achieve a great victory...

Chapter 309 Declaration of Independence

Chapter 309-308- Declaration of Independence

"That is to say, 40% of the imperial army on the front line was suddenly withdrawn back to the royal city, and the remaining 60% was unable to stop the alliance army. Another 50% of the 60% was lost. Only 180,000 of the 600,000 troops were left on the battlefield?"

After defeating the allied forces that had approached Serinya, Domi immediately convened a meeting of all high-ranking figures, including the generals of the Imperial Army and the lord of Serinya.

Da da da--

In front of the elegant and noble black wooden long table, Domi slammed his index finger on the table again and again. The clear and bright sound echoed in the meeting room of the City Lord's Mansion. The cold eyes seemed to be able to kill the soul of anyone who saw it.

Considering the absolute dominance that Domi had just demonstrated, no one dared to say a good word for the weak imperial army at this time.

Everyone can sense how unhappy Lord Dominic is now. Not to mention that the Empire has turned the balance into a disadvantage, even the Sword of the Kingdom has lost nearly 30% of its troops in this unnecessary "farce".

Anyone would feel sad to see 1,500 battle-hardened and loyal elite soldiers die like this.

In order to prevent Domi from getting too angry, Xia stood behind him and massaged his shoulders, trying to ease his anger.

"Gentlemen, can anyone explain to me what happened to the 40% of the Imperial Army that made them act like cowards and flee from the battlefield?"

The general of the Imperial Army at the scene, the middle-aged general who was saved by Domi, corrected him:

"My Lord, they are just following orders from above, they are not cowards."

"In the face of a powerful enemy, he just walked away, and even used the high-sounding excuse of 'orders'. If this isn't desertion or cowardice, what is he?"

The general was speechless and simply kept silent. It was good to be an ostrich...

Regarding Domi's question, the Lord of Serinya, who was sitting in the first seat on Domi's right, probably knew the most. He cleared his throat and said:

"Your Excellency doesn't know that ever since Emperor Burton passed away and Queen Natiavida took over the throne, the four princes and princesses in the royal city have been fighting openly and secretly for the throne."

"Almost all of the 40% of the imperial army temporarily mobilized this time are troops under the faction of the three princes. At first, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wanted to send troops to suppress the chaos in the royal city, but the other two princes probably didn't think so..."

Having said this, the city lord stopped talking abruptly. Everyone who understood knew that he was, after all, just the lord of a small border fortress.

Then Xia took up the topic, and a pleasant voice came from behind Domi:

"The two brothers were probably worried that he would use this as a pretext to force them to withdraw from the race for the throne. In order to protect themselves and check and balance Brother Alfred, they all mobilized their own direct troops."

"A ridiculous arms race..." Domi's summary was so apt that everyone present couldn't help but nod in agreement.

"Because of this reason, the empire lost half of its territory that countless soldiers fought for with their lives and blood, and I also lost 1,500 brave warriors."

"Ha ha……"

Domi leaned back in his high chair and laughed out loud.

This laughter was so sarcastic at this moment, as if mocking those idiots who were in the royal city but only knew how to hold back the entire empire.

"Let those princes who only care about the throne fight each other, but if the rulers of the royal city continue to command the army in this confused way and downplay the status of the generals, the empire will collapse sooner or later."

"Rather than letting those guys hiding behind and sitting back and relaxing continue to squander the empire's precious manpower, it would be better for me to command the battle on their behalf."

"Ok??"

"what?!"

"???"

The people sitting on the right side of the conference table shouted out and showed shocked expressions.

The people sitting on the left side did not say anything but seemed very calm.

After all, they were Aurora, Arena, and Avranslot, so they were absolutely confident in Domi, at least more so than those in the royal city.

"No... My lord, if you want to command the battle on behalf of the royal nobles, you must first have the relevant transfer orders and authorization..." The general who was familiar with the imperial military system advised that Domi's idea was indeed a bit whimsical.

"Authorization?" Domi leaned forward, crossed his hands in front of his mouth, and looked at the general with eyes as sharp as a sword:

"Without their authorization, the empire would not have lost the lands it conquered with great difficulty.

The moment failure occurs, their authorization is no longer valid, and no one will obey the orders of the person who created the failure.

There is a saying that goes like this:

The capable ones are promoted, the excellent ones are rewarded, the mediocre ones are demoted, and the inferior ones are eliminated.

Useless guys, get out of here quickly. From now on, the entire battlefield will be under my control!"

A statement that would shock the entire empire in the future had just been made.

……

Considering that Serinya is the only city on the entire front line that has resisted the attack of the Allied Forces, if they continue to stay, they may face the dilemma of being surrounded.

Therefore, after evacuating the people in the city, Domi and his men took the initiative to abandon Serinya and retreated to the rear of the Funeral Plain with the Empire's large army, which was equivalent to giving up a part of the Empire's original territory.

The dissatisfaction of the citizens of the empire has reached its limit. The original call for violent suppression of the conquered areas has naturally turned into "change the leader and take back the lost territory!", and even a hearty street parade was staged every three days. The rulers of the royal city are annoyed by this but can do nothing about it...

At this time, at the front line, in the city lord's mansion in 'Signo', the largest city on the edge of the Funeral Plain, a grand meeting attended by all the generals and nobles on the front line was being held.

The purpose of this meeting was clear: to discuss how to regain the empire's lost territory and check and balance the Allied Forces, which were growing in strength.

Domi and Shia, one as a noble of the Blofeld family and the owner of the Sword of the Kingdom, and the other as a princess of the Empire, were naturally also invited.

The large circular conference room was filled with generals or senior commanders wearing black iron-blooded military uniforms, as well as a few great nobles.

In the center of the ring is a round, brightly lit podium, while the rest of the area is pitch black.

Domi and Xia were sitting in the row closest to the podium, listening to the great nobleman from the Cumberbatch family talking about the war situation, as if as long as they did what he said, it would be an easy matter for the Empire to defeat the Six-Nation Alliance.

"Heh, just a shady rat who believes in perfectionism and money above all else."

A middle-aged general next to Domi spoke with disdain.

Domi had almost figured out that this guy was an obvious profiteer. More than half of his plans were related to land transactions and money, and he didn't care about winning at all.

Add Cumberbatch's last name and it's not hard to see.

"Are all the Cumberbatch family members so disgusting..."

Xia tilted her head: "Why do you say that?"

"Because there's this guy named Willcost Cumberbatch who's also a disgusting sword-bearer."

Chapter 310: The old general will just abdicate and let the wise man take over?

Chapter 310-309- The old general will just give up his position and let the wise man take over?

"Go down, Cumberbatch family, this is not the stage for you to show your talents~"

Just as the man on the stage was speaking excitedly and passionately, it was the middle-aged general sitting next to Domi who spoke up and stopped his wild thoughts.

To be honest, most of the officers in the meeting had already lost interest in his remarks and even began to dislike this guy.

He did not care about the lives of the soldiers or even their lives at all. He always glossed over them and dealt with them arbitrarily, completely out of his own interests. He also said in a high-sounding manner that this was for the sake of the empire's finances and the overall situation.

It's a joke, he hits people on the head even though they are gone.

Domi couldn't help but look sideways, he had some impression of this general.

General Hank Williams, male, 45 years old, is famous for his iron-fisted military management, the high discipline of his soldiers and his outstanding military achievements. He is the commander-in-chief of the Empire's Third Army.

His fearlessness of power is well-known in the empire. Only a person like him would dare to offend the Cumberbatch family in public.

"Yeah, go down quickly, there's nothing you can do about it!"

"If you want to demonstrate your financial talent, please turn left and go to the Imperial Bank next door. Thank you."

Those who can sit here are no small figures. As long as General Hank speaks, everyone will respond.

The guy on the stage looked extremely upset, but he also knew that he would be made a laughing stock if he stood there stupidly.

So after saying something harsh like "If you don't listen to me, you will definitely regret it", he walked back to his seat angrily, with his hands crossed over his chest, looking like someone who doesn't allow strangers to enter and who should check acquaintances' faces before talking to them.

After driving the clown away, General Hank glanced at Domi who was sitting next to him with his sharp eyes like a falcon, and then said in a medium voice:

"Compared to Cumberbatch, the two younger generations of the Blofeld family have performed well recently, with almost no defeats. Moreover, young people's thinking is more active and free. Why don't we listen to their opinions and insights?"

"agree."

"I think it's OK..."

It was actually praised by someone.

Duomi had not expected that the opportunity to speak would fall to him in this way. He had been thinking about whether he should do some pretentious and face-saving stuff to get on stage smoothly, but it seems that this is not the case.

His eyes crossed the central podium and had a silent exchange with Argyle who was sitting opposite him.

It was clear that Argyle had no intention of taking the lead.

"Then I'll show you my ugly side..." He stood up and walked towards the stage.

"Come on~" Xia cheered softly.

"give it to me."

Standing on the podium is a completely different feeling. The only spotlight is shining on himself, like a barrier. There is only a blurry shadow in front of him, but it also makes him look like a ray of hope shining into the world.

The person in charge of presiding over this important meeting was Winfield, the commander-in-chief of the Imperial First Legion, usually referred to as the Imperial General.

He restated the issues to be discussed:

"The third son of the Blofeld family, Dominic, right?

Since Hank thinks so highly of you, then in your opinion, how can the Imperial Army, which now has only 18 soldiers, recapture the lost territories of the Empire and resist the Alliance Army, which has at least 50 soldiers and is in a fierce momentum? "

Domi was silent for a moment, and someone sneered, thinking that he was out of ideas, but Domi just glanced at him and made him speechless.

Yes, that Cumberbatch guy who just stepped down.

He actually dared to laugh at a half-step false god. Domi will let him know what eternal pain is and let him reflect on it in the illusion first.

After finishing this trivial matter that no one wanted to interfere with, Domi ended his silence and spoke slowly and rhythmically:

“I think that we must first resolve the command issue before discussing any tactics and policies. The sudden deployment of troops by the top imperial officials has exposed this fatal problem.

The Imperial Army now has too many brains. If each brain is thinking about its own affairs and interests, then whose ideas should the Imperial Army, which makes up the body, follow?

In the end, they will just become a mess and be easily killed by the enemy."

General Winfield nodded in agreement. This time, the outrageous actions of the imperial high-ranking officials and the princes were really a stab in the back of the imperial army. Almost 80% of the officers present hated it to the core.

"Do you have any idea about how to do it?"

"Yes." Domi raised a finger.

"We only need one commander. The prerequisite for this is to sever the control of the military by all the high-ranking officials of the empire, and let the military command the military completely!"

The whole audience was in an uproar, obviously frightened by Domi's "treasonous" speech. However, rather than being frightened, they were more like fanatical pursuit.

Domi's words were like a key to open Pandora's box, or like the venomous snake that tempted Adam and Eve to eat the fruit of wisdom, pointing out a clear path for them -

Since they can't stand those high-handed guys who tell them what to do and stab them in the back, why don't they just become independent and independent?

Although it is a bit of a heinous crime, it is better than being completely wiped out.
