C375 The Hardest Choice
"What, how is this possible …"
Ade was the first to stand up in disbelief. As a great general, he was very clear on the defensive capabilities of the border cities.
In addition to the five thousand city guards, each city didn't have a mayor. They also had five thousand recruitment slots.
Moreover, the Empire would spend a large amount of funds every year to subsidize the equipment for every single soldier.
Now, the Empire had actually lost ten cities. What kind of concept was this, was equivalent to the loss of all defenses in the northeast of the Sky Dragon Empire.
Now, if Sand Empire were to attack, the Imperial City at the center would become the frontline of the war.
This meant that before the battle had even begun, the enemy had already reached the entrance of the base.
"It shouldn't be that simple. Their Sand Empire is a bit weaker than ours, they don't have the guts to find trouble with us here."
As an Imperial Advisor, Bosch was still relatively calm. However, he was still surprised. He never expected the enemy to arrive so suddenly and without giving them any time to react.
Although Liu Hong didn't say anything, his mouth was wide open, proving that he was shocked.
The fall of the northeast border was not a trivial matter. There was going to be a true war coming soon.
Hong Fu waited for everyone to calm down before continuing.
"Just as teacher said, if Sand Empire was given a hundred guts, they wouldn't dare to find trouble with us.
However, the main culprit for the attack this time was the Asura-Te Bo Empire, so Sand Empire was merely a form of probe. "
"What? A-Te Bo Empire, they …"
Ade was so surprised that he couldn't continue. The national power of the Awu Steel Empire wasn't any weaker than the Sky Dragon Empire, and could be said to be a little stronger.
Now that the Aalium Empire and Sand Empire were united, Sky Dragon Empire was truly in danger.
"Not only that, I heard that the Sand Empire is related to Necromancer's organization. This time, they easily took down ten of our Fringe Cities, all because of Necromancer."
Hong Fu threw out another bomb and everyone on scene fainted. There were too many surprises and they were all numb to it.
Since no one else spoke, Hong Fu could only continue.
"Duke Trang has rebelled. Right now, all of Duke Trang's territory in the east of the empire belongs to the Aaliweir Empire."
"How is that possible? Duke Te Lang is the founder of the Sky Dragon Empire. How can he do such a thing?"
Ade shouted in grief, but everyone ignored him.
Everyone had an ugly expression on their faces. Ten cities were already injured enough, and now even the territories to the east of the empire belonged to the enemies.
In other words, his Imperial City had already been exposed to the enemy.
Once war broke out, the Imperial City as the front line, the casualties could only be described as terrifying.
After a brief moment of silence, Imperial Advisor Bosch stood up.
"Your Majesty, in the current situation, we need to leave the Imperial City immediately. Right now, we can only preserve our strength for the rest of our lives."
Ade also reacted and said seriously.
"Yes, Your Majesty, we should retreat to Duke William's territory now and then gather our forces. Right now, things are in such a hurry and we don't have enough preparations, so we are unable to resist the joint forces of Awu Steel Empire and Sand Empire."
The king didn't give him a reply. He just sat there quietly.0
The reason Imperial City was called the Imperial City, it represented the location of the Emperor.
It was not as simple as a city; it was the symbol of an empire.
If they were to leave now, it would mean that they had given up this symbol.
In a certain sense, this meant that the nation with Sky Dragon Empire had perished.
His Majesty's prestige in the eyes of the people would be reduced by a thousand miles.
Liu Hong also knew that now was not the time to hesitate. Seeing that His Majesty was hesitating, he also opened his mouth.
