In this case, Resed didn't say anything more to her. After hanging up the phone, he discussed with He Kun that the next target would be the Hillna Empire.
Under the leadership of the two, the rebel alliance's army was unstoppable and conquered several countries in succession. Some small countries even gave up resistance and surrendered voluntarily to become tributary provinces of the alliance.
In the second week since Emily and Rested spoke on the phone, the alliance army arrived outside the border of the Hillna Empire and at the same time allocated one-third of its forces to attack the Haston Kingdom.
His own country was about to be attacked, and Mir was too busy to care about the Shirna Empire, so he left with his army overnight.
The people of the Shirna Empire had already lost hope after experiencing the war, but suddenly the emperor rose again, and they had even more confidence in him. They all supported the emperor to fight against him.
The alliance army entered Hillna in the morning without harming a single civilian.
Rest didn't want to hurt the soldiers he had worked with, so he persuaded them to lay down their weapons.
At first the soldiers resisted, but when they realized it was Colonel Resed, they laid down their weapons one after another. They trusted the colonel.
The emperor was furious when he heard the news. He thought he had defeated the Walzan family, but he didn't expect that he would be attacked by the heir of the Walzan family in the end. After all the twists and turns, he ended up like this.
He had refused to give up even when half of his country was divided up by the people of Helburg, so how could he give up now? But how could he fight without any soldiers?
Suddenly, he had an idea and came up with a good idea.
While the enemy army has not yet reached the main city, the emperor personally gathered the citizens and said that the enemy army must not be allowed in, otherwise their families will be separated, and the females will be dragged into the army to vent their anger, while the cubs, the elderly and the males will be killed on the spot.
The emperor's passionate speech touched the hearts of many orcs.
"If the soldiers on the front lines don't do anything, I'm willing to fight, even if it means death."
I don't know who said this, but other males joined in, and some females with good mental strength were also willing to join.
Having achieved his desired goal, the emperor pretended to wipe away tears, deeply moved. "My people, thank you for standing up to the empire in its most dangerous time. After we drive out the enemy, each of you will be rewarded handsomely and will not have to pay taxes for five years."
"We will always follow Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty, you are our God."
“….”
The emperor ordered his men to distribute weapons to them and took a group of people to the key roads leading into the main city, where they waited for the enemy's attack.
When the army arrived, everyone, including the emperor, was shocked to see that their general Emily had been captured.
The emperor cursed inwardly, no wonder he couldn't contact Emily.
"Everyone, now we can only rely on ourselves."
"Your Majesty, rest assured. We will do our best."
There was murderous intent in everyone's eyes, working hard for their families and children.
He Kun threw Emily out of the car and shouted, "Everyone inside, lay down your weapons and surrender."
The sound spread by mental power was loud enough for the people of the entire main city to hear, but no one seemed to want to surrender.
"Fuck, these idiots, do they really want to live and die with the incompetent emperor?"
He Kun was almost furious. "I'll give you two more minutes to make a choice. As long as you lay down your weapons and surrender, I will never harm you or your family."
This... The people of the Hillna Empire began to hesitate. Not harming their families was very tempting to them.
Now it was the emperor's turn to be anxious. Seeing the morale so unstable, he shouted angrily, "How could you be so easily deceived? When the army came, you didn't even have the ability to resist. When they changed their minds, you could only wait for death. Wake up!"
"This...there are so many of them, what if this is true?"
"Your Majesty, if we surrender, they won't kill us and our families, which is actually very good."
"When have the members of the Rebel Alliance ever kept their word?" The emperor's words left everyone silent.
Indeed, the reputation of the Rebel Alliance as a country has always been bad, and they have been hesitating. What if it is true, then the whole family’s lives will be saved. What if it is a lie, then the whole family will die.
But even if I resist, I can't win! I'll die anyway.
Until two minutes passed, He Kun sighed, it seemed that they were determined to fight us to the death.
Just as he was about to give the order for the soldiers to charge in, Rest stopped them.
"I used to have some status in their hearts, so maybe I can persuade them."
"Then... give it a try!"
Then Rested opened the car door and got out.
The orcs could see very far, so they could naturally see clearly that the person coming down was their former colonel, Resed.
"It's the Colonel. He's back. But...why is he with the enemy?"
They all didn't understand.
"Everyone, please lay down your weapons. We will not harm you. In times of war, every country fights endlessly, and in the end, only the people at the bottom suffer. Since I have strong mental strength, why don't I end it all and together we can create a better country."
"Don't you want to be happy? I, Rest, promise that as long as you give up resistance and let the army in, I will never harm you."
Rest himself stood there, believing it 70%, and with his promise, he believed it 100%.
"That's great. The colonel has always been a source of reassurance for all of us. Now with his promise, I trust the colonel and am willing to give up resistance."
"My brother agreed, so I agree too."
"If the neighbors all agree, then I agree too."
"I agree."
The emperor immediately stopped him, "Hey, I am your emperor, he is just a former colonel, you should all listen to me."
"Tsk~ It's you! If you hadn't led the enemy in last time, how could the empire be split in half? That was the beginning of our suffering. We will always remember this shameful moment. It was all caused by you."
"But didn't you just promise to stand by me?"
"That's because we had no choice before. Now we have Colonel Resed, and he is our support."
In an instant, everyone rushed towards Rested.
He Kun was shocked, "No, your influence is so great?"
Rest snorted coldly, "Do you think everyone is as notorious as you?"
"You...I won't argue with you. The war is more important."
The emperor was furious and took out his gun and shot at the orc running in front.
At the sound of a gunshot, everyone stopped, looked back at the emperor, and then looked ahead.
"You, a vicious monarch, actually shot your own people."
"Haha, you were the ones who wanted me first, you deserve it." The emperor continued to threaten, "If anyone of you dares to take another step forward, you'll be shot in the head."
Seeing that they had stopped running, the emperor laughed and said, "Run, why don't you keep running?"
