In a secluded pavilion at the First Mental Hospital of the Thunder Cliff Empire, two men in bathrobes, a candidate for the Magic Goddess, the commander-in-chief of the Air Force of the Neserel Empire, Marshal Ferry Taylor, the most legendary war hero of the contemporary war hero, and the authentic voter of the Magic Goddess, a severe schizophrenic No. 008 of the Thunder Cliff Mental Hospital, and the great sage of the Ilminster, who has been famous for thousands of years, is sitting around the sides of a strip stone table, silent for a long time.

Since the end of the Arctic Port offensive and defensive battle, Fili and Ilminster have not met for nearly four years.

As the last battle of the Second Continental War, after the end of the Arctic Port War, both sides began post-war liquidation work.

Although the Elf Army won tactical victory at sea and on land, because Princess Freya, who was supervising the battle, was unfortunately shot and killed by the gun. General Daniel, who was in charge of the front line, was demoted and sent to the tropical rainforest of the Mazka continent to work hard. Not long after, he fought with Feili's expeditionary army again, and from then on, their chaotic fate of "from enemies to friends, from friends to superiors and subordinates, and then to beggars and donors"...

Fili Taylor was promoted for his merits and served as the governor of the Arctic Port for about a year. During this period, he built his legendary ship "Xiangrui" until he was sent to expedition to the Mazka continent to assist the anti-elves uprising army of the "Immortal Bird" Chief Tekumse.

As for the great sage of Ilminster, who had the superior force in the naval battle of the Arctic Port but was defeated by the elves and was almost wiped out, he had to bear the blame for his defeat. After the peace agreement between the empire and the elves was concluded, he left the battlefield in shame and returned to the empire's land.

He was also tried amid the angrily scolding of his family members. Then, amid the contempt and indignant booing, he first followed the condolence and indignation of the politicians, using the excuse of "hard mental illness and needing medical parole" to escape from crime, and then used the identity of "severe schizophrenia patient No. 008" to live in seclusion in the "Thunder Cliff Empire First Mental Hospital" converted from a high-end nightclub club.

Alas, as the saying goes, time is a pig-killing knife, black fungus, purple grapes, and soften bananas. In the next few years, Feili and Taylor involuntarily experienced a thrilling super adventure, leading a third-rate miscellaneous army without rear, without supplies and morale, and turned alone to the Mazka continent, the Japanese islands, the Central Plains Celestial Empire and the Silk Road Gobi, almost completing a global expedition.

For this reason, he was forced to fight with all kinds of opponents beyond his imagination, witnessing the heroic death of a king, a Far East conquerotto assassination, a Emperor was crushed by bricks, an emperor was frozen into an ice sculpture, a founding father committed suicide, and a cockroach-living old lich died and lived, alive and died... In short, through this series of terrible experiences that were enough to make people think, he finally earned himself the title of "Eastern Conqueror" and the position of commander-in-chief of the Imperial Air Force step by step from colonel to marshal.

Of course, in the spare time of war and war, Feili naturally did not forget to enjoy the benefits brought by power, and he practiced to "cultivate and cultivate" the mature bodies of several beautiful female prisoners, and even reached a "long-term captive agreement with some of them...

However, compared with the experience of the Great Sage of Ilminster, Feili made this little for herself

The benefits are not enough. This old guy relied on his profound qualifications to fight such a miserable defeat, ruining a fleet and an expeditionary force, but what was the result?

Haha, by pretending to be crazy and someone supporting this great sage, you don’t have to bear any punishment and do nothing, you can spend a beautiful, deserted, shameless three years of happy time in such a rich and rich cave, living in the most luxurious resort palace, enjoying the freshest air of nature, shadows of the sea all day long, the most romantic sea breeze by the sea, the brightest sunshine of the scenic spot, and you can also spend public funds to recruit prostitutes and have excessive banquets, all kinds of delicacies, wine and beauties. This is really more popular than people!

Looking at the beautiful lakes and mountains around, listening to the elegant and beautiful music in the distance and the gentle singing voices of beauties of all races, a complex emotion filled with envy, jealousy and hatred suddenly arose in Feili's heart.

Speaking of which, although the name of this Thunder Cliff Madness Asylum is not very nice, it is as perfect as heaven in terms of enjoyment!

A green mountain, azure lake, snow-white waves, silver beaches, exquisite courtyards with clear springs, a wide range of fine wines and delicacies, wild girls with hot figures, and their bare and trembling plump xiong...

All of the above fears were mixed on the Thunder Cliff to form a beautiful picture full of unique style.

Even if you just sit in this banquet pavilion and bask in the sun with a teacup, it makes you feel warm, as if your heart is beginning to melt.

The gentle wind rubs against every inch of the skin, as if you can feel the softness of the wind as long as you close your eyes...

Looking back on the past three years, I have either struggled to make a living in the snowy Arctic wilderness, or fought bloody in the wet rainforest that makes people mould and moist, or traveled around the Gobi desert full of yellow sand, busy fighting with people, gods, ghosts, and demons all day long... I was a little enjoyable, and compared with the pomp of Ilminster here, it is really not worth mentioning.

But this is also impossible. Who says that he is famous, experienced, has a wide network of contacts, and has a thick stack of credits and legendary stories?

Alas, although I have been traveling around the world in recent years, killing corpses everywhere, and making a crown fall into the ground, it seems to have created a great reputation, and at least it has some status, but in terms of the number of merits and deeds, it may not be one percent of this thousand-year-old antique!

The more you have the ability and credit you have, you can enjoy as much benefits as you like. You really can't criticize too much for such things.

Therefore, after a while, Feri Taylor secretly envied and hated her, she slowly calmed down. After a few polite greetings and greetings, she talked to Ilminster about the current situation in the imperial capital.

"...I'm sorry, although this speed is already very fast, you may still be late. King Cormier took action this time very quickly. About three hours ago, he had already disarmed the Sambi Republic Army in the imperial capital. It has become impossible for your army to take advantage of the chaos to make profits.

If you rely solely on your Giant Bear Legion, you will attack the imperial capital with 20,000 Southern Army stationed, it seems a bit unstoppable, and you also lack the right name..."

The Great Sage of Ilminster wrapped in a bathrobe leaned against a marble bench, and the gods poured cold water on Feili indifferently, but then they changed their minds."

As for the political situation of the imperial capital, I can only say that everything is still under control. The Joint Conference of the Great Arcanist and the Congress expressed their support for you. As long as Ellaszhuo and her army arrived at the imperial capital, the Southern Army would definitely open the city and flee!" "The situation is so ideal? I thought I had to fight a war at least!" Fili couldn't help but feel a little difficult to understand about the inexplicable optimism of the Great Sage of Ilminster. "... Although the Southern Army has weak military strength, after all, it has a strong city and Tukan Khan's foreign aid can be counted on, how could he easily give up the imperial capital and withdraw it?" "... "Hmph, after the last election, although the Southern Army successfully entered the imperial capital, the imperial capital has never been reduced to the territory of the Southern Army."

The great sage of Ilminster stroked the beard on his chin with a reserved attitude and said arrogantly, "If the Southern Army leaves the imperial capital obediently, whether it is a mantis arm that takes the initiative to fight or flee in a panic with his tail, it may be possible to stay breathing for a while. But if they are determined to die together, the strong men at the Joint Conference of the Great Arcanist will not stand by!"

"…The north and south have been divided and confronted each other for three years. The Southern Army still cannot control the imperial capital? Is this a strange story?"

Feili was slightly stunned, obviously disbelief. "... On the way to Beijing with the Xiangrui, I saw that all the Arcana Arcanist, who were stationed in the imperial capital, seemed to have moved their siren floating city out of the suburbs of the imperial capital and moved to the north to the Lishi Plain. It was clearly to avoid the harm of the Southern Army. If the Southern Army really couldn't even control the imperial capital, why did they run away?" "...Do not avoid the harm of the Southern Army? Humph, you underestimate their strength too much! This is just to avoid annoying lobbyists from all sides, as well as the continuous riots and movements among the imperial capital, so they moved out for peace!"

The Great Sage of Ilminster snorted from his nostril, "For example, let's say that the Thunder Cliff Empire's First Mental Hospital under our feet is located on the east coast of the Shadow Sea. It is just across the water from the imperial capital, Nasèrel City, and is only twenty or thirty miles away in a straight line. Since the defeat of the Battle of Arctic Port, I have begun to live in seclusion here, and monitor the situation in the imperial capital for the Northern Army and collect various intelligence. This matter is also not a secret from the beginning. There are many insiders and outside the imperial capital, and the Southern Army is naturally no exception.

However, in the past three years, the Southern Army has never dared to go here and commit early, and even dared not block out the external transportation of Thunder Cliff. Even if the world has changed in recent years, my vision and ability have no way to keep up with the times. However, the achievements of exorcising demons and pursuing evil spirits in the past thousand years have not been at all. Who dares to die in the mere little spy of the Southern Army? Humph! Don’t want to live anymore?" He snorted coldly again, his eyes full of disdain, "What's more, how can people who can live here be idle?"

It was not until after listening to the introduction of the Great Sage of Ilminster that Feili was shocked to learn that among the "patients" living in the "No. 1 Mental Hospital of the Thunder Cliff Empire" where she was selling dog meat with a sheep's head,

Although most of them were stains and scandals that caused a stir (otherwise they wouldn't have come here), there were also dandy people who were just having a living bag and a corpse, but they also had many legendary strong men who were stimulating the country. Now, due to the political situation of the empire, the number of people who were protecting themselves is increasing. This gold-selling nest is even more crouching tigers and hidden dragons, and there are thirty-two great arcane masters, senior bishops and captain-level paladins. The power of these people alone is enough to discourage tens of thousands of ordinary soldiers.

In addition, among the people who "retreat for a long time" here, there are twenty-seven governors, generals or hereditary lords. Some of them are guys who have to be admitted to the hospital for various political or economic reasons, some are losers who are excluded by this government because of their tendency toward the Northern Army, and some are neutrals who choose to hide here to watch the situation after the North and South split in order to escape the coercion and benefits of both sides.

Although on the surface, these people have almost been indulged in alcohol and have basically retired, their influence is still there. If they are really caught by swords and guns, they are not easy to bully. According to the Great Sage of Ilminster, as long as these people work together and give orders, they can raise an army of more than 50,000 people at any time!

What's even more terrifying is that even the mature female dean who just led Feili over, the brown-skinned girl who looked like a super voluptuous girl, was actually a female arcane who was so charming and shameless!

Well, although she is only specialized in "charming" and "the art of love" and is quite weak in actual combat power, and is said to be mixed with succubus blood, her qualifications as a great arcane master in the imperial world are absolutely genuine and can be regarded as an outstanding person in the entertainment industry that the public likes! As the saying goes, men conquer the world with force, while women conquer men with skills!

So, as soon as he got these messages, Feili put aside his contempt for these seemingly corrupt people. This is not an intelligence station, a madhouse or a happy street! It is clearly a powerful nuclear weapon base and a special forces camp!

Well, even in another world, if a certain country has the ability to install a hydrogen bomb of ten thousand tons in each of its intelligence stations, it will be detonated immediately once it is investigated, then there will probably be no country in which it dares to launch a rash crackdown. It can only turn a blind eye to this intelligence network with its nose, and at most it will be just a few weak diplomatic protests.

But if this is the case, Feili is very puzzled by another problem.

"...Since you who stayed in the imperial capital still have such a powerful overwhelming force, why did you sit down and watch the Southern Army have been in chaos for three years, instead of storming earlier and restoring the order of the empire as soon as possible?"

The Great Sage of Ilminster raised his head, looked at Feili meaningfully, and then sighed helplessly.

"...What's the solution? Although we have the strength, we must maintain the system of the empire, and the Southern Army has mastered the great power!" According to the view of the Great Sage of Ilminster, the reason why the weak Southern Army can still persist until now is basically relying on the "legitimate elected CEO" which is temporarily unshakable.

To put it in a practical way, things like Dayi and Famous are often not very practical. But if you really don’t take it seriously at all, you will soon find that this thing must not be underestimated by those who have a slight understanding of politics. Perhaps you will think that the struggle for politics is about strength, and on the battlefield, only the winners get everything. As for Dayi and Famous Famous Famous, it is just an unnecessary fig leaf.

This cannot be wrong, but you must know that if you do not pay attention to rules and only recognize your fists, you will only be the courage of a man who can observe the sky in a well.

In actual operation, these seemingly illusory names often have a decisive impact on the balanced comparison of political strength. What can really affect the major names is at the level of grand strategy.

For example, the so-called saying in the East that the emperor is wielding the emperor to command the princes does not mean that once the emperor is held hostage, the heroes can be surrendered and won without fighting. Instead, after the emperor is held hostage, they will take the initiative in politics, and can gather forces far beyond their actual influence based on the emperor's righteousness, and can use political advantages to divide and dismantle opponents, cooperate with tactical victory, gradually erode various weak forces, and ultimately defeat opponents whose actual power is far stronger than their own.

This is the important thing in the name of Dayi.

However, such a title of great significance has a deadline.

If it is in a monarchy, it is often necessary to wait until the king dies or is deposed before it ends.

However, in a republican country, the validity period of the name of the great name is only within the legal term of three to four years.

If the Southern Army still drags on the election after the term of this government is over, then the Southern Army will become an illegal or legitimate public enemy of the whole country.

Of course, if the Southern Army had enough strength and did not care about reputation, they could naturally regard all the constraints of the constitution as waste paper.
