The defense line was broken and the federal army retreated across the board.
Emperor Alman no longer had the glory of the past. He looked a little dull, and the white hair on his head became more visible to the naked eye.
"Did I really do so many wrong things?" he asked the servant beside him.
The servant replied tremblingly, "Your Majesty is unparalleled in wisdom, like a god descending to earth, and has done nothing wrong."
clang!
Yarman drew his sword, pointed it at the servant and said, "Tell the truth, or I will torture you to death."
The servant was stunned for a long time. Perhaps because he knew he was going to die, he simply vented his previous dissatisfaction.
"Your Majesty, you are truly terrible, far worse than the late emperor. You are cruel and merciless, slaughtering innocent people indiscriminately and causing untold suffering everywhere. The resistance army is what it is today, thanks entirely to you."
Alman was stunned and dropped the sword in his hand.
"Maybe I was wrong, but it happened too fast, so fast that I couldn't resist."
Suddenly thinking of the people behind the resistance, he looked blankly: "Could it be that gods really exist?"
In a daze, Alman followed the army back to the capital, where he would fight the final defensive battle.
Outside the city, the armies from the twenty-four continents were so dense and countless that they completely surrounded the capital.
As the drums of war sounded, the largest battle in the history of the Federation officially began.
Originally everyone thought it would last a long time, and the twenty-four commanders were even preparing to meet.
But who would have thought that in just three days, the capital's defenses collapsed, and the army rushed in from all directions. The federation was indistinguishable from a piece of paper.
It was later learned that the federal commander, under pressure from the emperor, turned against his own side and surrendered to Caesar.
There were many such surrenders, and the recipients were mostly Caesar and Linton.
At dusk, twenty-four armies surrounded the palace, but no one dared to attack, not even Caesar and Linton.
Many people noticed that the atmosphere had changed.
The capital is filled with tension and oppression, and it seems to have become a powder keg that could explode at any time.
"Whoever captures the emperor will be the new emperor, but anyone who dares to go in will be besieged by others and will definitely not be able to withstand it."
Because of this, even a strong man like Caesar had to give in and would never dare to fight against the other 23 rebel forces.
The atmosphere became increasingly weird, and the emperor's life or death became less important.
However, what no one expected was that at about five o'clock in the morning, a fire broke out in the palace and could not be stopped.
The rebels rushed to put out the fire, but in the end all they got was the emperor's body.
Everyone did not communicate, but quickly evacuated the palace and returned to their own barracks, preparing to go to war at any time.
"Sir, what should I do next?" Caesar was a little anxious.
Chen An just came back and said, "We won't attack you. It's up to you to fight with your own ability. If you lose, there's nothing to say."
This made Caesar happy.
"They really won't take action?"
What he feared was not the rebels, but the twenty-three masters behind them.
In Caesar's opinion, those masters are at the same level as Chen An, and they will definitely take action if their subordinates are attacked.
Now that he knew they were not interfering, Caesar breathed a sigh of relief.
Chen Ando said: "It's not enough to just not intervene with force. We still need to help with the strategy. Do you need my help? If so, I can set up some more suitable plans for you."
Even without Fuyao, Chen An knew how to operate. His command ability in war was a dimensionality reduction attack on people like Caesar.
After a long while, Caesar gritted his teeth and said, "I can't always rely on you. Please give me a chance to fight independently."
"Okay, go ahead, I'll watch from behind."
Looking at Caesar's back, Chen An felt a little regretful.
"If it weren't for the trial, I would definitely take him away. What a great commander seedling."
After that, the civil war of the rebels officially began.
To Chen An's surprise, Caesar did not go on expeditions, but instead made a move to abandon the capital and retreat to Rome.
Seeing that Caesar had no intention of fighting for the throne, the other rebel leaders mostly paid little attention and allowed Caesar to leave successfully with his army.
However, he did not really leave, but used an excuse to go to an outer city to rest.
In these cities, Caesar continued to train his army and recruit more soldiers.
At the same time, he wrote the previous war process into pamphlets and distributed them throughout the rear.
In short, the cruelty of other rebels and the kindness of the Roma rebels should be highlighted.
There was an effect. After all, the previous siege had already become famous, and everyone knew that Caesar did not use civilians as shields.
So countless people were willing to join the army.
In just three months, Caesar's army swelled to 20 million men.
This expansion was not overt. He hid the new soldiers, secretly transported them to the vicinity of the capital, and did not participate in the war.
In the inner circle of the capital, the rebel forces fought each other in a bloody battle, with countless casualties, including Linton.
…
"I thought you would give Linton a heads up."
In the sky, Chen An said to Tiejian.
The two often communicate with each other.
Tiejian shook his head. "Ever since I learned that Caesar refused your help, I knew Linton had lost. From then on, I never helped him again, leaving him to fend for himself! As expected, he was showing off his power in the city, unaware that Caesar was about to seize the fruits of his victory."
Chen An smiled brightly. "So, a leader must have a broad perspective and not act recklessly based on personal likes and dislikes. Linton is capable, but he lacks the ambition to embrace the world like Caesar."
"Why do I feel like you're talking about me?"
"Just don't put yourself in this situation. I was just saying it casually. It should be almost over. Caesar's main force is on its way out. Even if Linton and the others figured out the reason now, it's useless."
The subsequent development of the war did not surprise Chen An.
When Linton learned that Caesar had returned, he immediately made a truce and united with others.
Caesar didn't care at all. He relied on his military superiority to crush his enemies and was invincible.
The war lasted for three days, and Linton was defeated and had no chance to fight back.
…
Seven days later, Caesar ascended the throne, officially ending the thousands of years of rule of the Jarmo dynasty.
When he returned and took a closer look, he found that the Federation was now in ruins and more than half of its population had been lost.
"Natural disasters and man-made calamities have all come upon us during this period. Alas, perhaps this is our fate. My lord, where are you going?"
The mission has been completed, and Chen An came to say goodbye.
"I have my own things to do. I'm very busy."
Caesar knew that he could not keep Chen An, so he said respectfully: "Please stay for some guidance, sir."
Chen An really wanted to say something to him, so he said, "If you want to continue to cultivate upwards, you must use energy crystals. These things are all on the seabed. Your next task is to focus on developing seabed exploration."
"Thank you for telling me, sir."
After chatting for a few more words, Chen An turned around and flew away towards the sky.
Above 100,000 meters, other train conductors were waiting.
"The trial isn't over yet, it's a headache! Ange, the passage is there."
After completing the mission, a huge channel appeared in the atmosphere, guiding them to fly through.
"Stop talking nonsense and let's go! The more difficult the task, the richer the reward. I'm looking forward to the result."
