Chapter 766 The Root of the Turmoil

Christian secretly paid attention to the changes in everyone's demeanor, recalling the messages Dixie had sent him intermittently about the civilian class over the years, and a troublesome feeling emerged in his heart.

When she learned that Muriel in front of her was a commoner, although there was some contempt in her heart, she was more surprised.There are probably only a handful of people in Nuo Da's empire who can do the job of redeeming the generals of the empire.

After all, what they are facing is a powerful force that seems to be shrouded in fog, and the negotiation time between the two sides is bound to be long.

But this Muriel completed this matter in a very short time, and her ability was enough to gain her own approval.It seems that Dixie has a good eye and can actually find top talents among ordinary people.

Thoughts fell.

Then came pressure from all directions.

The expedition to the Demon Dragon Palace suffered a disastrous defeat, and the deterrence of the human kingdoms against the gods of the divine way disappeared. The war between humans and gods is about to kick off.

If the civilian class is all worthless, at least it will not hinder the countries in the upcoming war.But Muriel proved the absurdity of this idea with actual actions.

Once the war broke out.

The internal control will be loosened, and there will be no strong force to guard it. At that time, these people may do things that they and the empire do not want to see.

"The princess asks the marshal to return to the imperial capital immediately"

"If not, I am afraid that something that the empire cannot afford will happen."

Muriel urged.

The voice interrupted the contemplation, and all the generals of the Guangming Empire looked over, showing puzzled and contemptuous expressions.Something unbearable for the empire?It seems that civilians are civilians, and they only use alarmist words to sensationalize the public.

"whats the matter?"

"The military department requests His Majesty to issue a compulsory conscription order, requiring more than ten million civilians to join the servant army"

Muriel tried her best to keep her tone calm, but a little emotional fluctuation betrayed her truest thoughts.The elder brother and the younger brother are both in the small town. If the compulsory conscription order is promulgated, wouldn't they all go to the battlefield?Then I'm afraid it will be bad.

The generals of the Guangming Empire showed even more contemptuous expressions.

The common people are the burden of the empire, and every year the Ministry of Finance has to use a large amount of tax money to fill the deficit caused by the welfare system.Now that the war is about to break out, it is time for those civilians who enjoy benefits for nothing to sacrifice their lives for the empire.

Muriel felt the bone-deep indifference from the expressions of these generals of the Bright Empire, her lips moved and she swallowed the words that followed.

"Compulsory conscription is beneficial and harmless, it is a good recipe for governing the country"

"His Royal Highness has been outside the imperial capital for a long time, so what she sees and hears is inevitably somewhat one-sided."

All the generals spoke one after another.

Muriel looked at Christian, as if she was deciding on something.It is undeniable that the concept that civilians are worthless and can be slaughtered at will has been deeply rooted in the empire.Even myself once thought that this was the eternal truth.

But in the dangerous place of the Demon Dragon Palace, he discovered that the so-called eternal truth is nothing but a shackle that he put on himself.

Is such an empire worth saving?Is such a country still worthy of my nostalgia?
Countless thoughts swept through her mind like a tide, and Muriel felt that her heart was full of sadness.The scene of Dixie giving the ship back then appeared, and his shaking heart stabilized.

Maybe I am too pessimistic.

Although most of the high-level people are full of contempt for the common people, there are also people like princesses.They can cross classes, empathize with people in all classes, and try to change this rigid world.

What I can do is the same as my brother and the others have explained, and try my best to push these people who can cross classes into the core area of ​​power.

Listening to the generals' discussion, Christian slowly shook his head at them.

"Everyone"

"Forcibly recruiting civilians to form a servant army is probably harmful and not beneficial."

The voice fell in the ear, and the general of the Guangming Empire subconsciously wanted to refute.But looking at Christian's serious look, they swallowed all their words one by one.As a confidant, the majesty of the marshal has already penetrated into the bone marrow.In addition, there are strict class barriers, so I dare not refute.

In fact, strictly speaking, what I just said is a bit too much.

The princess has a noble status, how can she point and point at will?

"Although civilians have no worries about food and clothing, they are lonely and helpless in their hearts. They are just prisoners trapped in their bodies like walking corpses. If the empire promulgates a decree to force the gradual servant army, on the eve of the coming of the gods with the soldiers and horses of the kingdom of God, I'm afraid It's a misfortune rather than a blessing"

"Under the calm surface of the water, there is actually a monstrous anger hidden, and the coming of the gods will tear this false scene to pieces"

Christian said.

A general finally couldn't bear to refute.

"Is what the marshal said a little too much? Civilians have no power to restrain chickens, and a mecha can kill more than a thousand people. Even if they are angry, so what? Could it still cause turmoil in the empire?"

"can"

Christian replied.

He looked at Muriel.

"Like the one standing in front of you"

"With her ability, it shouldn't be difficult to use the Dragon Palace to imprison us dangerously. Moreover, people like this are not a small number in front of the huge population base."

"And what the gods need is faith. If civilians join the team of the gods, they can exchange their faith for the power of magic."

"It is inevitable that the situation will get out of control"

Christian explained.

The generals of the Guangming Empire showed disapproving expressions.

It seems that the Marshal has been almost scared by the Demon Dragon Palace, otherwise how could he say such dejected words?Even if civilians all turn to the gods, how much magical power can they get?A mecha or battle armor is enough to offset their decades of hard work.

Their eyes intertwined, and because of Christian's majesty in the past, everyone kept silent.

"Without further delay, we are ready to return to the imperial capital immediately"

"Muriel"

"exist"

"How is the battleship ready?"

"ready to go"

Muriel replied.

Christian looked at the reaction of the generals and was secretly worried, but it was obviously not the time to hesitate.The Guangming Empire is about to issue a mandatory conscription order, using more than tens of millions of civilians to form a servant army.In this way, the contradictions between civilians and other classes will be intensified, and even unpredictable crises will break out.

As a general, he naturally needs to contribute to the situation of internal and external troubles, and this is not the condition for his niece, Princess Dixie, to save himself and others.

Both public and private must come forward to stop it.

Although we know that we cannot stop it, we must do it, because it is an attitude that determines our destiny.

"Go now"

"Muriel, you also go to the imperial capital with me"

"Yes"

Muriel replied.

The demon soldier standing behind pointed to the people to the left, leading them to the battleship parked not far away.The task assigned by the governor has been completed, and the next thing to do is to wait and see the changing situation outside.
