On April 3, 1996, in the Republic of Am, in the early spring of the Viper Forest, a fierce battle was in progress.

The roar of guns and cannons, the crisp sound of swords and swords fighting, the sound of horses galloping, and the screams of dying wailing screams were heard for a while.

The pungent smoke filled the forest, and the beams of attacking magic pierced the edges among the trees, burning with raging fires everywhere, and the flowing blood dyed the green grass buds that had just emerged from the ground.

Finally, with a crisp gunshot, the last Tukan man who resisted stubbornly fell from the tree branches, ending the battle.

Small-scale pursuit and suppression operations such as this have erupted in Am and the North recently.

More than a month ago, although Timur Khan escaped in a hurry through an ultra-long-range portal, all the millions of bandits of all races brought to the hinterland of the empire were kept, only a small one.

Some of them died on the battlefield. Although these mobs who were blocked from their way back could no longer turn the situation around, they were still the biggest hidden dangers that undermined local public security and threatened reconstruction work.

To this end, local governments regarded the extermination of these bandits as the top priority, organized a large number of mercenaries and militias to cooperate with the regular army to launch a bandit suppression battle. Some of the great lich arcanes who had just recovered from the box went all the way to chase Timur Khan, while the other part rushed to the world to suppress the bandit suppression battle, without asking for rewards, but only asking for a whisper of resentment in their hearts.

After more than a month of hard work and several major battles of tens of thousands of people, the largest remaining enemies have been wiped out one after another, and the bandits in the former occupied areas have finally been initially controlled.

The bandit suppression troops also began to advance into the forests and wilderness far away from the towns, attacking the defeated soldiers who were still in the process of storm, and planned to completely restore the security situation in this area before summer.

Two elegant and luxurious beautiful women, with unconventional temperament, were floating in the sky, overlooking the battlefield below.

They were the actual leaders of the West Coast rear during the expedition of Fili Taylor, the Queen of Storm Xinbu, who had retreated from the battlefield of Santilburg, and the Queen of Silver Moon, who had just recovered and reborn after experiencing the catastrophe of collective explosion in the floating city.

In the Nairer Empire half a year ago, they were all first-class legends who could call the wind and rain in politics. However, after this empire unfortunately experienced an unprecedented catastrophe, the halos on their heads began to fade away.

It was precisely because of the defeat of Queen Storm Xinbu in Santilburg that Timur Khan was able to drive the Iron Cavalry into the border of the empire: and it was even more because of Ms. Araszhuo's great joy and neglect of guarding that Samast had an opportunity to take advantage of it and launched a catastrophe that almost led to the empire's destruction!

The failure of the former can also be explained by the fact that the number of people is too different and cannot be supported: while the latter's guilt cannot be whitewashed.

Therefore, after her comeback in early March, Ms. Elastra has always maintained a very low-key relationship and has never even thought about regaining the power of the chief consul in accordance with the law. In fact, she is the reasonable and legal CEO of the empire, and Fili Taylor is just a cabinet minister. It is only because the entire cabinet was completely ruined in the catastrophe. Fili, who escaped the disaster, got the opportunity to take office according to the law.

But the law belongs to the law, reality belongs to reality...

As a dereliction of duty who caused the deaths of tens of millions of people and almost collapsed the entire empire, Ms. Elastra, no matter how powerful the power is, she would not dare to challenge public opinion at this time and forcefully return power to Filiso.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the members of Congress had almost died at this time and had no time to re-election in the chaos and could not hold a parliament again, Ms. Elastra would have already carried a lot of impeachments at this time and was just waiting to go to the prison of political prisoners to serve her sentence.

‘There is no way, this catastrophe is too tragic. After experiencing the initial panic and numbness, the people must have a punching bag to vent.

Therefore, even though the situation gradually improved and the battle situation was winning, Elaszhuo and Xinbu were still worried about the future.

"At present, the remaining bandits have been expelled from densely populated areas and are gradually flowing towards the wilderness in the east. The most core prosperous area of ​​the empire is finally basically fine.

All post-war reconstruction work is being prepared in full swing. The plague that may cause post-war corpses, the major temples have also been told to take it seriously. "Eraszhuo held a volume of official documents in his hand and introduced Xinbu, who had just returned from the eastern border, "How is the situation with you and Kuilu? Have you recaptured Yin Shadow Valley from the elves rebels? What is the loss of the legion in the battle?"

As soon as the situation in the rear stabilized, the powers of the Neseril Empire began to recover lost territory.

Basically, while Feritay and Mitsui Ryuki took the giant bear army, boarded the floating battleship Xiangrui, resolutely crossed thousands of miles of space. While marching to the expedition to Lesserman, Xinbu and Kuilu also led the reorganized Ginkgo Legion to the east along the old path when Timur Khan invaded the Northland, crossed the Enoao Desert along the Arctic glacier, then turned south, and launched a counterattack from the north to face Santilbor and the Cormansso Forest.

According to the analysis of international observers in the newspaper, if it were to only recover Santilburg, which had been abandoned by the Tucan people, it would be basically effortless. However, if it was to recover the Komanso Forest, which had been tiptoed by the elves, it would probably take some trouble.

But in fact, the action to quell the Cormansso forest rebellion was almost as easy as the recovery of the unmanned ruins of Sant Tilburg, without bleeding at all.

"Aolu's Ginkgo Legion has recovered Yin Shadow Valley, and so far, it has not encountered strong resistance." Queen Xinbu smiled and shrugged her shoulders with a hearty smile. "...I have to say that the Golden Elf Queen and her Elf Army are still very useful!" This is the quick strategy of quelling the chaos with Aolu: using the new Elf Queen His Majesty Alanita and her General Daniel, with a purebred Elf Army as the pioneer of quelling the chaos, invaded the Komanso Forest in advance, and used elves to suppress the elves. The elves rebels who seemed to feel that they were still living dozens of centuries ago and dreamed of restoring the glory and glory of the ancient Elf Empire all day long, would they dare to take a bow and take an arrow to the supreme Elf Queen and kill the last elves royal family?

However, this poor Queen Alanita does not seem supreme among her own people at all. She was forced to displace by the rebels, and was almost entirely reliant on the funds, materials and military support provided by the Naserel Empire, so that she could barely protect the last base of Mezro on the Chult Peninsula while the entire area of ​​Yongju Island was in a state of stuttering.

In addition, she had to fight with her family first, and in the early stage she fought to withstand the attacks of other elves governors who were scrupulous of power one after another (although these governors believed that they did not have the noble bloodline of the throne and could not become kings on their own, but they all wanted to become the elves regent by forcibly marrying this down-and-out queen). Then they turned to defend and attacked, gradually bribed and divided these independent forces and gradually expanded their actual ruling territory, defeated other nearby elves colonial cities, and included the entire Chult Peninsula little by little. Seeing that the civil war of the Nesèrel Empire had almost been completed, the civil war of the Elf King that broke out earlier was still endless...

Therefore, in the face of the persecution of the Neseril Empire, Her Majesty Alanita had no choice at all. What's more, this matter was not unhelpful to her. According to the arrangement of the imperial government, Her Majesty's main task was not to kill the same tribe, but to recruit rebels, and to bring these over-energy elves out of the empire territory to fill the shortage of human resources, so that they can truly contribute their lives to the revival of the elves.........

1. With the continuous civil war, rebellion, great purge, defeat in overseas wars and colonial independence, after Yongju Island, as the foundation of the kingdom, fell into the hands of the believers of the Night Goddess Shar, the number of elves who were still under the name of the Elf Kingdom in Yongju Island in the entire Feren continent had plummeted from four million to less than 800,000. Moreover, with the continued elves civil war and slave uprisings of various races, this number continued to decline... It is obvious that even if Her Majesty the Queen successfully unified the remaining elves' forces, due to the extreme population shortage, it would be difficult to organize enough troops to counterattack Yongju Island's old place, not to mention that the number of elves who are truly under her control is probably less than 50,000!

On the other hand, after two hundred years of repeated rebellions and conquests, the number of elves in the Cormanso Forest has also dropped from about 100,000 to less than 50,000 today.

Among them, those who were really incited to make independence were only 10,000 or 20,000 yuan at most. You can see from the map that all directions of the Komanso Forest are surrounded by the territory of the Naserel Empire, and they are deep inland, and there is not even a sea outlet that can accept foreign aid... In such a scam-free environment, it would be strange if you can still be independent and successful!

Therefore, the imperial government's strategy of counter-insurgency against the Cormansso Forest was to drive all the restless guys out of the country as long as the land was not elves, and then, whether they followed the elf queen to kill their compatriots, attacked the rebellious elf governors, or counterattacked the old land of Yongju Island, and fought to the death with the crazy believers of the Shar Church, it would be beneficial to the Neseril Empire without any harm...

The demands of the elves royal family are just the opposite. They lack manpower but not territory. There are too few reliable citizens of their own clan who can be used for military service and stable rule. However, the elves' fertility cycle has a maximum of two hundred years, which makes their own reproduction speed far from keeping up with the demand...

So, the two sides naturally became in a mess and hit it off.

To put it bluntly, the elves suffered unprecedented heavy damage in their national power, with a sharp drop of less than half, and while the decline continued to accelerate, they still had to fight for numerous casualties and injuries to expand their living space abroad. This is a very ridiculous thing. The original territory is still empty and cannot be occupied. Not to mention that they actually chose the world's largest power as the target of expansion, but they really thought that they had a long life.

In short, through a series of political and cultural offensives and force deterrence, Kuilu has basically stabilized the situation in the Komanso Forest, occupied several major population settlements such as Yin Shadow Valley, and forced the last small group of rebels who were unwilling to move with the Elf Queen or abandon the rebellion step by step to the deepest of the most desolate jungle, which is not a big harm for the time being.

And in the last rebellious area in the country, good news also came.

"... Yesterday, our Philli, Consul Taylor, after capturing Timur Khan from Letherman, took a trip to the Kingdom of Cormier for a while, without even a single shot, and suppressed the entire territory of the Kingdom of Cormier. King Diglio and his family committed suicide for fear of crimes, and war criminals at all levels surrendered. In short, with the submission of the Kingdom of Cormier..."

Elaszhuo finally glanced at the official document in his hand, rolled it up, and introduced it to Xinbu, saying, "...the civil war is over."

"... So, he and his warship will be back soon?" Queen Xinbu yawned a little bored. "... Have you figured out how to treat that little guy? He stole your position, but he did much better than you!"

" "How do you treat that little guy? Didn't I mention it to you in the previous letter?" Elaszhuo frowned. "Or you have never read that letter at all? Or did the letter not be delivered?" " "I vaguely remember that the letter said, "Oh, Gods are here, I thought you were joking!" Queen Xinbu's facial expression suddenly became serious. "...Are you sure you really want to do this? He is our junior!" " "Dear sister, I feel very embarrassed like you!" Elaszhuo shook his head and sighed, "It's not that I'm thick-skinned and dark-bellied, but I want to take back our power as quickly as possible and maintain the unity of the country... It seems that this is the only way!" Speaking of this, she couldn't help but turn her gaze to the east sky, as if the huge shadow of the Xiangrui would appear there in the next moment.

"Dear sister, I think you should also understand that he may be a lucky person favored by fate, an adventurer with some courage, but he is definitely not a qualified and experienced ruler, and he has no ability and connections to settle in that position for a long time..."

Elaszhuo took a deep breath of hair, and then said firmly, "So, for the future and destiny of the country, at some point, we must learn to go against our will and make decisions..."!
