Alien Empire Total War

"Your Majesty, the commander of the Second Brigade, Brigadier Berlan, has sent a letter. The department has arrived in the Ankerton Region and is heading to Bedos to suppress the mob."

In the city of Ankerton, in the splendid Sona Palace, King Loren XI, who was in his prime, sat behind his desk and listened to the young guards reporting news from the army to him.

The king was silent for a while, then commanded in a vicious tone:

"Tell Bellan, don't be merciless, all the pariahs involved in the riot will be executed, and the leaders among them will be caught alive as much as possible, and I will hang them on the street lamp!"

"As ordered, Your Majesty."

The attendant replied with a touch of his chest, and then he reminded in a low voice, "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Ralgon is already waiting outside for your summons."

"Let him in."

The king's voice fell, and the attendant turned and walked out of the study. It didn't take long for Cator Ralgon, who was wearing a palace embroidered dress, to enter the study under the guidance of the attendant. He kissed King Loren who was on the throne. , when he straightened his chest, with the help of the light in the study, it could be seen that the prime minister's face was no longer young, his temples were white and his body was thin, but no one dared to despise him, because he was King Loren's important arm.

"Your Majesty, I heard that Brigadier General Berlan and his second brigade have entered the Ankerton Region, preparing to suppress the riot in Bedos Town?"

"Yes, Ralgon, I have ordered Berlan to kill all the untouchables who participated in the riot."

The king said, motioning for Largon to sit on the chair opposite him.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid you are looking for the wrong target," said the aged prime minister, shaking his head, while leaning on the handle of the chair, he slowly sat on the wooden palace chair covered with soft velvet cushions, "Our real enemy is not the one in Bedos Town. Those thugs, but the new aristocrats in Ankerton, and the Santos party that has recently emerged among the common people."

"The Santos Party... I have heard that their leader is the son of a businessman who returned from training in the Republic of Arden. Why, this is just a trivial new group." King Loren said disapprovingly, according to past practice, this The group will not shake his regime at all.

Liberty, democracy and equality are not words that have only been circulated in recent years. As early as more than 50 years ago, some people have put forward this theoretical idea in the Republic of Arden, and actively put it into practical use, but it was quickly adopted by the Republic of Arden. The parliament was brutally repressed, and it has been unsuccessful since then.

Compared with the so-called freedom, democracy and equality, the short-sighted people at the bottom care more about whether they can make money and eat enough. Therefore, not many people will pay attention to those ideologues who wave their flags, and governments of various countries will start from the beginning. The stern vigilance of the past has turned into the present lax laxity.

"My dear majesty, perhaps you should really go out of the Sona Palace and take a look outside." Prime Minister Lalgon sighed, and he pointed to the night view outside the window, and said in a serious tone: "The workers in Ankerton City have started to strike. Now, the Santos party has won the support of most of the workers, and secretly formed a so-called workers commando, if we continue to let them develop, the final consequences will be unbearable for us!"

"Worker commandos? It's ridiculous." The king sneered, and his tone was full of contempt: "What can they do with the support of the workers? Do they have guns? Do they have guns? Under the iron hoof of the Royal Army , they will only be wiped out!"

It is true that King Loren would have been nervous if it was in the cold weapon period, but now is the era dominated by muskets and cannons. No matter how many people resist, they don't have enough muskets and artillery in their hands. In the face of the elite kingdom army When there is only one end of being destroyed.

Therefore, King Loren is not worried about the climate of the Santos party. He is more concerned about whether he can get more wool and more money from the new nobles.

After falling into a two-front war, the kingdom's treasury expenditure was severely depleted, and the money in it would soon run out. If he could not receive a large amount of taxes in a short period of time, he would face the dilemma of no military pay. There is no need to wait for the Santos party to attack, the angry army has enough for him to drink.

Seeing that King Loren has always been indifferent, Largon suddenly fell into a deep sense of powerlessness. He couldn't help but start to think about what caused him, an old friend who had been working with him for decades, to become like this. After thinking about it, the target was quickly locked on a person.

Lucia Salomon, Queen of King Loren!

Since the marriage between King Loren and Lucia's mother's family Becky Kingdom six years ago, the originally ambitious King Loren was immersed in the gentle village as if he had lost his soul, and became the ghost he is now, if not Convinced that there is no witchcraft in this world, Ralgon even doubts that Queen Lucia is a witch with the ability to deceive the mind.

At this moment, King Loren remembered the newly promoted nobles that Ralgon just mentioned. He frowned slightly and asked, "What happened to those newly promoted nobles?"

"My informant told me that Viscount Knox, the leader of the new nobles, had contact with the Duke of Ireland yesterday. Although I don't know what agreement they reached, I suspect that they will be detrimental to the royal family." Ralgon was serious. said.

"Damn, how dare they?" The king was suddenly furious. He slapped the table heavily and shouted, "Did they forget who gave them rich wealth?! What a bunch of white-eyed wolves that they don't know well!"

After finishing speaking, he looked at Ralgon viciously again and said, "Ralgon, since they want to betray me, don't blame me for being ruthless, wait for the second brigade to come back, no, don't wait for them, I'll let the Praetorian Guard raid their home tonight!"

Hearing King Loren's declaration, Ralgon, whose face changed greatly, hurriedly stopped and said, "Your Majesty, now we don't have enough evidence to attack the newly promoted nobles. If you rashly send the Imperial Guards to raid the house, it will only cause other problems. Noble dissatisfaction and backlash."

"Then shall we let the gang of white-eyed wolves and the Duke of Ireland conspire against me?" the king said angrily, but he was also calmer at the same time. Obviously, Ralgon's persuasion took effect.

Although King Loren has shortcomings such as irritability, greed for money, arrogance, shortsightedness, etc., he is still able to listen to the persuasion of others, especially the persuasion of his most trusted Prime Minister Ralgon.

Seeing that the king's mood was much calmer, Largon continued: "Let's wait and see, I will secretly collect evidence of the rebellion of the newly promoted nobles and the Duke of Ailan, and wait for the second brigade to suppress the mob in Bedos Town and return to safety. After Keton City, we'll take action against the newly promoted nobles."

"Okay, Ralgon, just do as you say."
