Alien Empire Total War

Chapter 8: All parties

Ankerton City, the capital of the Ankerton Region, is the most dazzling treasure in the crown of King Rumont, and is also the political and economic center of the country.

The quaint capital has undergone earth-shaking changes after the arrival of the Industrial Revolution. The buildings in the eastern part of the city have been torn down and rebuilt, and factories with towering chimneys have been erected one after another, bringing wealth and gray "smog" together. The people here - of course, only the upper class can enjoy the wealth brought by the industrial revolution, and the smog is the gift to the lower class.

In a Gothic-like building with a soaring roof on the east side of Ankerton, a debate is going on.

"The War Department's order has been issued. The second brigade stationed at Fort Edford is on its way back to Ankerton City. We don't have much time left!"

"So what? Could it be that King Loren would allow the savage army to kill in his capital? That would only become a big laughing stock in the international community!"

"Come on, Addis, everyone knows that you have a noble title on you. Even if they kill you, they won't be able to kill you."

"Hmph, I didn't come here to quarrel with you. Our goal is very clear, and that is to pull down the rotten King Loren."

"I'm afraid those outsiders who call themselves the Santos party don't have the same idea as you."

A voice came from outside the door, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the room. People turned their attention to the person who entered the room. Their expressions were different, ranging from surprise, disdain, joy, and hostility.

"Gould, what are you doing here? Who let you in?!" One of the people in the room stood up and asked the person who came.

"The purpose of my coming here is to tell you that you are in a disaster." The man named Gould said disdainfully, and he looked at his eyes from everyone in the room without fear, and continued.

"The Santos party has used their rhetoric to win over the short-sighted workers and formed a so-called workers' commando among the workers, what they claim is to overthrow the royal family and establish a republic without the rule of the king - and have the opposite purpose. What will happen to you in front of the angry mob?"

"what?!"

"How dare they?"

"This is different from what we said at the beginning!"

There was a lot of discussion, and the bearded man sitting on the main seat finally moved. He slowly raised his head, looked at Gould, and asked calmly:

"So, what does your master, Duke Ailan, have any good ideas?"

"It's very simple, as long as you support my master Duke Valente as the new king, he is willing to use his own strength to help you overthrow King Loren, he and his family have ruled this kingdom for too long, and it's time Let this country have a stronger master."

"Even if those thugs unite, they can't have a well-trained army of the God of War, not to mention that they don't have many muskets. As long as you are willing to support my master, not only will your success rate be greatly increased, but you don't have to worry about the thugs."

Gould spoke in a low tone, like a succubus capable of seducing the human mind. Hearing his words, Viscount Edgar Knox in the main seat began to be moved.

But he did not agree immediately, and he asked back: "The Duke is willing to guarantee the rights and interests of our newly promoted nobles? We have had enough of being treated as fat sheep and have been the target of oppression, as long as the Duke is willing to guarantee our due rights and interests, All new nobles will support the rule of the Duke, and we are also willing to pay to help the Duke fight against King Loren's army."

"Of course, but it's obviously inappropriate for me to discuss this important matter with you. The Duke's eldest son, Master Curender, is already waiting in the carriage across the street..."

"Please, please come up immediately!" Before Gould finished speaking, Viscount Knox stood up and said. Seeing his attitude, Gould's mouth rose slightly. He knew that his purpose of coming here had been achieved. .

At the same time, in a basement in the east side of Ankerton, the leader of the Santos Party, Eker Santos, had a bright smile on his face, and he held a musket that had been wiped with oil in his hand. , talking to the man standing in front of him.

"Thanks to Lord Wesker and the muskets for your country's assistance. I think with these muskets, our success rate in overthrowing King Loren can become higher."

"Your Excellency Santos, these rifles are just the beginning, and our people will bring in more rifles in the future, but although your country's control is like a sieve, we still can't bring in artillery."

"It doesn't matter, the battlefield of the uprising will be located on the streets of Ankerton City. No matter how brutal the King's Army is, it is impossible to use artillery bombardment in the capital." Santos said confidently, "We are familiar with every street and every street in this city. Architecture, as long as they are trained, no one can beat us in street battles.”

"Your Excellency Santos, complacency will only make you fail!" Clifford Wesker said solemnly, "According to our information, King Loren has dispatched the second brigade to return to Ankerton. The second brigade is nicknamed the Blood Lion. You must not underestimate them!"

Hearing this, Santos's face turned a lot, and he asked, "How many days will the second brigade arrive?"

"Within half a month. UU reading www.uukanshu.com"

"Then we're running out of time, the Workers Commandos must start training right away, and I have to get in touch with that greedy guy Edgar Knox, at least our short-term goal is to overthrow King Loren. rule."

Santos said seriously.

Seeing Santos' clear thinking, Wesker nodded in relief. He continued: "Although our country cannot participate in the war to respond to your actions, our country will always assist you with weapons, Your Excellency Santos."

"Thank you very much." Santos said solemnly, then handed the rifle in his hand to the cronies standing beside him, and reached out and shook hands with Wesker.

"So, Nosk is willing to support me as the new king?"

Eden Manor on the outskirts of Ankerton, this is a beautiful aristocratic manor, where the well-respected Duke of Ireland Helvin Valente lived.

At this time, he was sitting on the soft sofa, looking lazily at the eldest son Kelund, who was sitting beside him, and listening to the other party's report.

"Yes, father, Nosk is willing to support you and convince other new nobles." The young and vigorous Kelund said, with a little excitement in his eyebrows: "Father, once the riot breaks out, you will It's the new King Rumont!"

"Oh, it's not that simple." Old Helvin waved his hand, his expression was indifferent, as if he was not the one who would be pushed to the throne.

"Don't think that the king is so easy to do, Kollender, you have to learn how to manage a country now. Of course, before that, I will remove all obstacles for you."

"I understand, father." Curender said respectfully.

"Well, go and prepare a letter for me. If I remember correctly, the two heads of the second brigade are our people."
