Astral Apostle

   Chapter 110 Succession

  The Royal Capital, the Palace of Jinbao, the Imperial Conference Hall.

   Becky was sitting in the main seat, coughing from time to time, looking tired and sallow, obviously unhealthy, occasionally reaching out and rubbing his chest, and his heart was not very comfortable.

  Since Bill defected, Becky was out of anger, but the change of clan independence made him have no time to recover. These days, he can only force his spirit to issue orders and deal with the situation, and his body has not fully recovered.

  The other imperial ministers sat upright in their respective positions, and the seat of the privy minister was vacant, which was originally Roman's position.

   Becky glanced at the only empty seat and snorted coldly:

   "Have you found out Roman's whereabouts?"

   "There is no news yet." A minister cautiously.

   "Once you find it, tell me immediately, and I will kill him!"

  Becky gritted his teeth.

   A few months ago, Bill got wet. Becky thought that there must be an inner ghost to help, so he organized a large number of people to find clues. Among them, Roman and Bill were very close, and he checked many times, but he never found it. . .

   But it is not nothing, it can even be said to be "a lot of gain", several important officials have been found out by the palace guards, and the focus of the guards' search has been diverted. Follow these people to follow the clues, and the results are shocking. Becky found that a large number of important people have fornicated with the outside world and accepted tribal donations.

   As a result, the search intensified, and more and more people were imprisoned, causing the court to panic.

   However, on one day, Roman suddenly disappeared, and he was also moistened, swept away a lot of royal books, and stole the royal family's private money.

  In addition, the important people in the court gathered together in the prison, and all of them were assassinated on that day. Obviously, they were inseparable from him, and even people could not help but wonder if the "problems" of these people were deliberately framed by Roman.

   And that day, there was a fire in the golden castle, which burned and burned many people, even several members of the royal family were burned to death. Roman also has a huge suspicion.

   It was only then that the bottom line was basically revealed. Knowing that Bill's escape was mostly caused by Roman, the Privy Minister had long been harbouring two hearts, causing huge losses to the royal family.

   Becky hated Roman so much that he believed that Roman was the culprit who made his plan completely bankrupt.

  If it wasn't for Roman who hooked up with Bill, where would Bill have a chance to get wet, he would have been in his hands long ago!

   He had already decided that he would never let Romance go. As long as he found this person, he would send royal warriors to hunt him down to the death.

   At this time, the Minister of Military Affairs interrupted Becky's thoughts and said solemnly:

   "Your Majesty, the situation is very unfavorable now. Those rebellious tribes are watching and helping each other, and they have a new type of alien blood medicine. What should we do?"

   From the perspective of the empire, these so-called independent tribes are all rebels, and the royal family also claims this to the outside world.

   Becky calmed down and looked anxious at the Terra Empire sand table on the table.

The towns currently controlled by the   Tera Empire are marked with blue chess pieces, while the territories of each tribe are colorful. The current situation in the sand table is that the blue square is surrounded by divisions, and the left and right parts of the site are scattered like spots.

The territorial scope that the royal family can currently command is the surrounding core area extending from the royal capital as the center, which consists of more than a dozen towns, while the cities far from the capital are separated by the territories of each tribe, cutting off most of the palace from the palace. Contact, it is difficult to direct command and mobilization, the situation is very unfavorable.

   There is only one question before Becky.

  Should we go to war regardless of losses, or compromise for the time being?

   "What are your thoughts?" Becky asked in a deep voice.

  Everyone looked at each other silently.

   After a while, the minister opened his mouth to break the silence and tentatively said: "Your Majesty, although our military strength is superior, we cannot fight against all tribes at the same time. I think it is better to be conservative..."

  Becky stretched blue veins on the palm of the table, but did not speak.

   Seeing this, the Minister of Military Affairs couldn't help but say: "Our chances of winning are too low. Once we fight, we will be attacked by enemies in all directions and cannot be resisted at all. I don't recommend going to war."

   "Yes, I also think the risk of war is too great..."

   Someone picked the lead, and many ministers in the Imperial Council expressed their opinions, but no one was in favor of war.

  Not being able to win is one aspect. What they are more afraid of is that the capital will be captured by others, and there will be no such a life of power in the future. As for whether the independence of each tribe is orthodox and legal, they don't care that much.

   Becky said coldly: "How can we win?"

   Everyone looked at each other.

   In the end, it was the Minister of Military Affairs who pondered and said: "If you want to win, you can only do it slowly, you must think long-term, let yourself grow, and divide the various tribes and break their alliance."

   "Tell me carefully." Becky looked at him.

  The Minister of Military Affairs cleared his throat and said slowly:

   "Now our predicament is nothing more than too many enemies, watch the alliance, we are surrounded by enemies, we cannot fight against everyone at the same time... So only by changing this can we solve all the tribes.

   Now the alliance of the tribes is stable because we have a common enemy. In order to guard against the empire, each tribe will try to strengthen itself. But if we compromise and seek peace, as time goes by, as each tribe expands and develops, there will be friction sooner or later, which will give us a chance to unite some of them and defeat them individually..."

   "Will it be unrealistic? The tribes know that the empire is strong, and even if there is friction with each other, they will not turn their faces, create opportunities for us?" A minister asked curiously.

   "This is an uncertain thing, I'm just offering a possible idea." The Minister of Military Affairs was dissatisfied with the minister who looked at the demolishing, and scolded the pig teammates.

   So the long-term route can only be developed... Becky's expression is heavy.

  If Bill was still there, the royal family would monopolize the new type of alien blood medicine, and could continue to expand the army, and it would not be a problem to fight for development. But now this plan has gone bankrupt, and the formula that everyone has is no longer precious.

   The most troublesome thing is that Bill seems to be doing things for the tribe. Who knows if he will create an amazing potion in the future, but it will become a monopoly of the tribe, and the royal family cannot get involved.

   But after 40 years of development, the empire still accumulated a lot of knowledge of various tribes, and it still has huge advantages in technology, such as the miraculous weapon technology, which is still a card in the hands of the royal family.

   So in the development of this piece, the result is really hard to say, Becky has no confidence.

   "I just want to get rid of these rebels quickly!" Becky said angrily.

   "This..." The Minister of Military Affairs struggled for a while before he said helplessly: "If we can mobilize all the imperial hunters, we will not be afraid to fight all tribes at the same time."

   Hearing this, many ministers nodded in agreement.

   The biggest advantage of the empire at present is that it has nearly 2,000 imperial hunters under his command. If they are thrown into the battlefield, they can completely destroy all tribes.

   Becky's face turned ugly.

   This method, he has long considered, but imperial hunters do not listen to all orders.

  In the pursuit of Bill, the imperial hunters had already voiced opposition. Although they were dispatched, they were only yang and yin.

   Wanting to put the imperial hunters into the war to slaughter the army of ordinary people, it is even more difficult to command. Becky has already tentatively ordered it and found that there are very few responses among the imperial hunters.

  Most imperial hunters have a clear attitude - you can fight alien beasts, but please be smart in civil war.

   This situation made Becky quite annoyed.

   In his opinion, it is ungrateful that imperial hunters just enjoy the benefits of the empire, but are unwilling to fight for the empire!

   Ke Becky is helpless, even if the imperial hunters don't listen to the tune, but they are the team of the empire, they can't easily give up this powerful force.

   However, Becky had a new idea.

   He looked around and said solemnly: "I decided to select some people who are truly loyal to the royal family from the imperial hunters to form a new army."

  The Minister of Military Affairs was surprised: "Isn't there already a royal guard?"

"Not enough, there are some hunters who are willing to obey more orders, but they won't really invest in the royal family. They still want to be hunters. I want to screen this group of people from the imperial hunters to form a more direct line of alien blood. Army, give them better treatment."

   Becky said solemnly:

   "They are still hunters usually, mainly hunting alien beasts, but occasionally perform other tasks for the royal family, including spying on the military situation, assassinating enemy leaders, killing enemy alien blood warriors, etc."

   Everyone understands that this is to optimize the team structure and separate the hunters who listen to the command. Since then, the team of imperial hunters has become a source of soldiers on the periphery, and this troop is an advanced lineage.

  The Minister of Military Affairs was curious: "What is the name of this unit?"

   Becky already had a draft and blurted out:

   "Royal Demon Hunters!"

   Everyone looked at each other.

   Becky said more and more excitedly, saying: "According to my calculations, among the imperial hunters, probably two or three hundred royal demon hunters can be selected. This is a hunter force that can be put into the battlefield!"

  The Minister of Military Affairs hesitated and asked, "Who will command this team?"

   Becky said solemnly: "Kreber is trustworthy, I have talked to him, he will serve as the leader of the royal family's demon hunting army!"

   "Uh...then who will replace him and lead the imperial hunters?"

   "Jace! He was originally the successor, let him take office ahead of schedule."

   Becky didn't think twice.

   Seeing that the king had made a decision long ago, and many ministers had nothing to say, they had to nod in agreement.

   "When the opportunity is right, we will try to fight, and these rebels cannot be left alone."

   Becky's tone was cold and she made her decision on the spot.

   failed to persuade the king to admit and compromise, and many ministers could only sigh in their hearts.

  …

  The capital, the imperial hunter station.

   "Have you heard that the empire is going to form a new hunter army, which seems to be called the Demon Hunter Army."

   "It seems that Boss Crabbe is going to be the commander."

   "I don't know what to do to select people from among us."

  In the dining hall, the hunters gathered together in twos and threes, chatting about the latest rumors.

   At one of the tables, Kreber and Jason sat opposite each other, and the hunters around them frequently looked over, their eyes mainly focused on Jason, the appointed commander.

  Kreiber looked at Jason and whispered:

   "Jess, the king has other arrangements for me. I'm going to command another unit. It is said that there is a possibility of going to the battlefield. The imperial hunter will give it to you."

   He was getting old and thinking about retiring, but now that this kind of change has happened, he doesn't mind responding to the king's orders and using his residual heat.

  Jason didn't change his face, nodded calmly: "Okay."

  Kreiber was a little uneasy, and continued to instruct: "After I leave, you must report to the king as the commander of the imperial hunter frequently, so that he can keep abreast of the situation of the imperial hunter. Don't forget it."

"Oh."

   "Also, this duty is not power. Don't treat imperial hunters as your subordinates, and treat everyone as equal colleagues."

"Row."

   "...Are you really listening attentively, can you not use such a perfunctory answer?"

"Can."

  Creiber supported his forehead and said helplessly: "Anyway, the king named you to take over my position in advance. Don't disappoint the king's trust in you."

   "Don't worry." Jason was expressionless: "I'm from the empire."
