Louis was furious.
No bro, what are you doing?
Are you really leaving the fate of the country to me? If I don't rescue you, are you going to follow Big Brother and fall apart silently?
Louis's heart skipped a beat, but he was still held up.
A terrifying thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
"You, you guys haven't split into two factions, have you?"
Louis lowered his voice and said, "Comrade Bart, your behavior has been strange since before, and now it has reached the point of division. Are you... okay internally?"
Bart Gene looked at Louis deeply and said calmly:
"How could we possibly have any problems? It's just that the space channel has occupied too much of our energy recently, and we have no time to take care of the external war."
Louis just wanted to spit.
Admittedly, space channels are important, but that is impossible if no troops can be deployed externally.
If they want to be really outrageous, they can forcibly transfer the people from one area to another regardless of their wishes, and then take away the troops stationed in this area and join the battlefield.
As long as it is not the most dangerous space channels, it can liberate its own combat effectiveness in a short period of time by creating a buffer zone.
But what Bart Gene meant was that they could only hold on for a dozen days.
This situation is totally inconsistent with the actual level of the Rockxi Empire.
The Rockxi Empire has high-end combat capabilities, a strong army, a sufficient population and strategic depth. It is far from being comparable to the Quiet Linhai, which has now declined sharply and only has a few old guys left.
If even they can only hold out for such a short time, then other countries will be even less able to do so.
To be honest, it is really unreasonable that their land area is comparable to the entire Eurasian continent and they would be defeated in such a short time.
I've heard of blitzkrieg, but I've never heard of blitzkrieg on the continent.
Even if there are countless powerful people in the extraordinary world, the distance is here. What does it mean that the Demon King's army broke through it in an instant? It means that wherever they pass, the local garrison army will break like porcelain at the touch, and they can't organize a decent resistance at all.
This description is definitely not the strength that the Rockxi Empire should have.
There are still three pounds of nails in the rotten boat!
The most likely possibility is that there is a huge disagreement within the Rockhi Empire, and it is not happening at the bottom, but between the top levels.
On the key issues that determine the fate of the empire, two or more factions have diametrically opposed attitudes.
This resulted in the faction that held the idea of "resolutely resisting the Demon King's army" not having enough strength left.
Being torn into pieces, they completely lost the possibility of resisting the Demon King's army.
Thinking of this, Louis became anxious.
He really wished he was in Roxy right now, next to Bart Gene, and could use his succubus talents to carefully observe Bart Gene's innermost thoughts.
The attitude within the Roxy Empire would largely determine how he would formulate his next plan.
Louis would definitely not be willing to rely solely on the Enther Empire to protect them.
On the contrary, he had to keep some of his manpower in the country to protect the Enser territory.
Because there is a very realistic problem here.
If the resistance faction in the Roxy Empire is a minority, it means that the vast majority of people choose to risk their lives on whether the Demon King's army will show them mercy.
But realistically speaking, this is impossible.
Most of the Demon King's army are crazy, and it's impossible to reason with crazy people.
All that is left for the Roxy Empire is massacre.
It is impossible for the Roxy Empire to really do this, so they will not have many options left.
The most likely scenario is that... a considerable number of high-ranking officials of the Rockhi Empire believe that the Demon King's army is unable to resist, and once it falls, the space channel cannot be defended, so they do not intend to stay on the original land and fight stubbornly.
If this assumption comes true, it would be a terrifying thing.
The Roxy Empire did not fight on its homeland, allowing its vast territory to become a battlefield for fighting the Demon King's army.
So the question is, where are they going to go with so many people? Louis thought of a very scary word in his mind, [Strategic Change of Home].
With the strength of the Rockxi Empire, if it plays a strategic home exchange operation, it can easily paralyze any major country below T0.
What is even more frightening is that with the current population of the Rockhi Empire, there are not many countries that can support their strategic change of home.
The most likely one... is the Kingdom of Monet, which is closest to the Roxy Empire.
One East Monet Kingdom is definitely not enough.
But with the Kingdom of Simone added in, it's pretty much the same.
Although the Kingdom of Monay is still making a unified voice to the outside world, the reality is that they have lost the possibility of becoming a T0 great power.
Even if they were merged into one again, they would only reach T1.
If we look at them separately, considering that the two countries have not yet unified, the strength they each display is just that of an ordinary T2 power.
But as we all know, the difference of one rank can make a huge difference.
If they were to conquer them one by one, the Kingdom of Monet would be in danger.
Thinking of this, he discussed with the head of the Bart family how to implement the rescue plan and stabilize the other party.
After ending the call, he immediately called the East and West Monai Kingdoms.
"Sir Louis, you actually contacted us at this time..."
"Mr. Louis, do you have any thoughts about what happened last time..."
After the two countries' top leaders answered the phone, they froze as soon as they started speaking.
Because they all discovered that Louis had contacted his arch-enemy.
Something is not right.
They all knew that Prince Enser had always been highly emotional when it came to dealing with foreign issues, and he would not normally contact top leaders of both countries at the same time, let alone two factions that were at loggerheads with each other in private.
If it is corporate business, that is another matter.
There is actually no problem in sending an official letter to invite both parties in advance, and then having the discussion online or offline after both parties agree.
But it is a bit interesting that the two parties suddenly communicated in a private way at this point in time.
It goes without saying that this is very rude.
But it would be even more surprising if the other party still did it even if he knew it was impolite.
Louis did not state his guess directly.
Because if the guess is wrong, it would be embarrassing.
But he can give the other party a hint.
He reminded them openly and secretly, asking them to pay attention to whether the number of strong people from the Rockxi Empire has increased rapidly in the list of applicants for the space channel. If so, he asked them to be a little more careful and hold up the other party's review.
He did not directly explain the situation.
But the attitude he showed had already made the other party guess.
Especially after Louis revealed that "Enther received news through secret channels that the Quiet Forest was destroyed, and the Great Sin - Jealousy was killed by Hermo and turned into a corpse demon", the expressions of the top leaders on both sides changed.
After thanking me, they hung up the phone in a hurry, obviously going to deal with the problem directly.
…
"What on earth are the Loxie thinking?"
Louis still hasn't figured out the reason, but he's not prepared for him to have any tricks up his sleeve.
Martial law has also been imposed in Enser.
Strictly investigate the movements of the Roxi people.
There is no way. Although if the Roxy people really play the All Tactics Converter, the most likely scenario is that they will run to the Monai Kingdom, there is also a very small chance that they will go crazy and run to Enser.
The only thing to be happy about is that this time the monsters from the dungeon came out in full force, and they were not near Enther.
Igniting a war within a country is a different situation than igniting a war outside the country.
——At least the soldiers can feel more at ease.
That night.
Louis went to see Beatrice.
He has to stay in the palace these days.
He gently stroked his sleeping lover lying on the bed.
In the dream, Beatrice's eyes had less of the emperor's sharpness and more of a woman's tenderness.
He gently smoothed her frown, kissed her forehead, looked into the shadows and said, "Xian, take good care of her."
"Um."
A calm voice came from the shadows.
Louis glanced at Qian and whispered, "Are you okay?"
There was a sound of light footsteps in the shadows, and Qian slowly walked in front of Louis.
At this time, the lady-in-waiting who served Beatrice was in a slightly abnormal physical condition.
Not only did her originally bright eyes become extremely dark, but the entire whites of her eyes were also dyed black. Weird lines appeared on her body, and negative energy continued to echo in her body, driving her aura to rise steadily.
Qian's voice was very calm: "It's just a little pollution from the Shadowfallen Underworld."
"Can you control it?"
"There won't be any problem at all."
"good."
Louis didn't say much.
Qian would not joke with herself, not to mention that his current condition was related to Beatrice's safety.
But Louis was still surprised.
Qian is still too comprehensive.
When I first saw her, I thought she was just a female official.
Later it was discovered that he was powerful enough to protect Beatrice's safety in daily life.
Later, she discovered that not only was she very powerful, but she could also borrow the power of the emperor.
Later it was discovered that she had already sworn allegiance to Beatrice, and Beatrice's increased power would also lead to her own power increase.
…
Now she can even directly transform the pollution of the Shadowless Underworld into her own power.
Louis knew that Qian inherited the shadow creature bloodline from her father Rogue.
But the gap between shadow creatures and humans is actually huge.
If you observe carefully, you can find that the madness of shadow creatures is only slightly better than that of demons.
After all, as a gathering place for negative energy, shadow creatures are naturally synonymous with negativity.
It is really rare to find people like Roger and Qian who can completely suppress negative energy.
This is probably why the Emperor placed Akane next to Beatrice.
Left the palace where Beatrice was sleeping.
Louis turned around and went to the palace where the emperor was.
But he hesitated there for a long time and didn't dare to go in.
There's nothing I can do. I feel guilty.
He had been arranged by the Emperor many times to become the only designated son-in-law of the Enther Empire.
Even his mother-in-law didn't treat him well.
God bless you, who would have thought that the time when his mother-in-law treated him best was when she first met him.
However, he chose to silently bear the pressure from his in-laws.
This is the pressure he needs to bear as a man who is Beatrice, the Little Swan and the Black Swan.
But even though I knew it, I couldn't help but feel my heart beating faster when I saw the emperor again.
Before he could react, the door to the emperor's bedroom suddenly opened.
A terrible suction force pulled his body inside.
Louis stopped subconsciously.
The military realm is added to the body to stabilize it.
The suction force continued to grow stronger.
But Louis didn't move.
He was a little embarrassed when he realized what was happening.
The emperor in his bedroom was also embarrassed.
It’s broken. I can’t pull this kid.
Louis was thinking about whether he should remove the restrictions on the military world and let the emperor's invisible divine power take effect.
The body's instincts are faster than the brain's reactions.
Is it too late to revoke control now? Louis began to try to give Lao Deng some way out.
He didn't say anything more and was about to let go of his defense silently, but he found that the invisible force disappeared before he let go of his defense.
Then he heard the emperor's voice coming from the bedroom, with a hint of annoyance in it.
"Come in by yourself."
“Here I come!”
He walked in awkwardly.
The Emperor sat on the throne and looked down at him. He said in a low voice, "How come you have time to come and see me today?"
Louis keenly sensed something was wrong and said decisively: "How can you be old?"
"I heard you call me Lao Deng. I don't understand what it means, but the word Lao means something bad."
"How is that possible? You are the father of the woman I love most, my good father-in-law."
"Go away, how many women do you love the most?"
Louis was embarrassed and stopped talking.
Lao Deng is very angry today, so it’s better not to provoke him.
So he decisively discussed the news he had just received with Lao Deng.
"Your Majesty, Beatrice has fallen into a deep sleep for the next period of time. What should we do about the situation in the Roxy Empire?"
However, this time, the emperor did not give Louis the response he deserved.
He said calmly: "I am no longer the emperor of Unther, Louis. From now on, it is up to you to decide where the empire should go."
Louis was stunned and immediately understood what the emperor meant.
He nodded his head with all his strength but still asked, "Your Majesty, have you anticipated this?"
The Emperor smiled and said, "Why do you think you were allowed to transform the Roxy Assassination Unit into the Cursed Legion?"
Louis said helplessly: "It seems that their internal division did not happen overnight."
"Yes, go do what you want to do. When Beatrice comes out of confinement, your chances of winning will be much better with your combined strength."
The Emperor said this, but after a moment his expression froze slightly: "No, it seems that she can't help you much after she comes out of confinement."
"Um?"
Louis was stunned for a moment.
The emperor looked at her with a helpless look and said, "Boy, didn't you check her body properly when you went to see her just now?"
"I don't know medicine!"
"But you should... oh, I forgot, you just got promoted to Legend, the rules are in chaos, your perception is reduced, and you can't feel the birth of new life."
"ah?"
A surprising operation flashed through Louis' mind, and he jumped up excitedly and said, "What do you mean?"
"Beatrice is pregnant."
