Rise of the Empire Total War

"What a bunch of butchers! Executioners!"

Somewhere in the city of Patridawa, the capital of the Acarnanian Alliance, a sharp shout came from the house, accompanied by the violent sound of smashing things. The passing servants shrank their necks subconsciously when they heard the sound, and stepped lightly. .

"what happened?"

At this moment, a voice sounded from outside the door, and the servant who was questioned trembled, looked at the person coming, and replied tremblingly: "Master Grande, someone reported the news from the west to the master just now, it should be because of this incident. Things went crazy..."

"Oh?" The young man named Grande raised his eyebrows, knowing it in his heart, he waved the servant to leave, then pushed open the closed door and walked in.

"Didn't I tell you not to come in without authorization? Didn't you hear?!"

A burst of overwhelming scolding came oncoming, making Grande's pace slightly stagnant, but he was not annoyed, folded his hands on his chest, and said in a joking tone: "Master Julio, what's wrong?"

Hearing this familiar voice and tone, the people in the room choked for a moment. He looked up at the person who was coming, and seeing that it was Grande, his expression improved slightly, and he said, "Mr. Grande, why are you here?"

"Just passing by, I came in to see you, but I didn't expect to see you angry, what's wrong?"

Mentioning the things that made him angry, Julio's face became ugly again, and he said coldly: "It's not the Winsters in the west, they crucify anyone who dares to resist, and put them on the road. It's really cruel to torture people to death."

Hearing this, Grande blinked, and he jokingly said, "Hey, why is Master Julio suddenly concerned about things in the west?"

"If I remember correctly, your party's corruption case is still unsolved."

"If Mr. Grande came to see a joke, then please go back." Julio said coldly.

"Don't worry." Grande said with a smile. Regardless of Julio's ugly face, he sat on a chair in the room by himself, and continued: "Master Julio, I just want to remind you that we There is still a one-year truce with the Winsters, even if their atrocities are outrageous, we will not be able to send troops to attack with the constraints of the peace treaty."

"What's more." Speaking of this, he paused and chuckled, "The people in the Union Parliament don't have the guts to continue fighting the Winsters. The defeat nine years ago is enough to show that we have a strong relationship with the Winsters. gap."

"I see,

I understand very well. "Julio sighed, a little unwilling, "However, I still think this is the best opportunity. As long as we use this anti-Winster wave to drive their forces out of the Osa Peninsula, our alliance will have a chance to return to the Osa Peninsula. At the peak, it became a powerful force among the top few in the Osa Peninsula. "

"I don't think it's possible." Grande shook his head, "The Winsters are already powerful, and in the past nine years they have integrated the Valdasia Peninsula and established a so-called Holy Roman Empire." , also fought against the old empire Kuyawi Empire and won."

"Even the powerful Kuyawi Empire lost to the Winsters, how can we defeat them? Don't forget that compared with the Kuyawi Empire, they can gather the strength of the whole country to fight the Winsters, but Our city-states on the Osa Peninsula are fighting on their own, and we can't gather all our forces even if we barely unite."

"..."

Julio was speechless after being told, how could he not understand this truth, but the unwillingness in his heart made him not want to admit it. Every member of the Acarnanian Alliance will never forget the shame of Patridawa being captured nine years ago. During these nine years, the Alliance can be said to be reckless, step up training, and improve the combat effectiveness of the army. Still unable to escape the shadow of the Winsters.

Even, with the passage of time, some new members of parliament who entered the parliament no longer put revenge first. They used their power for personal gain, forming cliques and attacks all day long.

Similar things happened in Julio's party, which was devastated by corruption and bribery cases. The main members of parliament have been taken to prison, and most of them have been investigated. Only he has a few people who are not involved in it. Stay out of it.

Although no one said it clearly, Julio, a party veteran who has been a member of parliament since the Osa War, is very likely to be the next leader of his party, and Grande came to his house today for this reason.

Seeing Julio's expression, Grande decided not to provoke him anymore, but smiled lightly and said, "Master Julio, in fact, I am here today to seek cooperation with your party. If the cooperation is successful, Then revitalization of the alliance is just around the corner.”

"What? Cooperation?" Julio was a little surprised, but soon he realized that his face was expressionless, and he said, "If you want to seek cooperation, did Mr. Grande find the wrong person? I'm just an ordinary It’s just a member of parliament, you should go to the leader of our party.”

"No, no, Master Julio, please listen to me slowly."

Grande said unhurriedly: "The leader of your party has been invited to investigate the corruption case, which will deal a severe blow to his prestige, and as the main elder of the party, your reputation has always been very high. With the assistance of our party, I believe that you will be able to become the new leader soon. After becoming the new leader, in the general election of the coalition speaker two months later, there are two parties supporting you, and you are very likely to be elected as the new speaker .”

"At that time, Lord Julio, who will become the new speaker, can integrate the power of the alliance until the end of the truce to attack the Winsters, and the shame of the capital's fall will be avenged."

"..."

To be honest, Julio was taken aback by Grande's rhetoric. He looked at the young and energetic congressman with a little surprise, and opened his mouth to refute him, but he couldn't say it. I have to say that Grande's words are very deceptive, but Julio is an old congressman with more than ten years of experience in politics, and he will not put all his hopes on a brat.

"Hmm...Master Grande, you should go back first, I will consider what you said." He thought about it for a while, and finally chose the tactic of procrastinating.

Grande put on a look of anticipation for his reaction, he stood up following Julio's words, and said: "Then, Mr. Julio, please consider carefully, the revitalization of the alliance is the responsibility of every Akanani The common wish of the demihumans, as long as Master Julio is willing, our party will fully assist."

"Hehehe..." Julio kept sneering in his heart. There is nothing good without a reason in this world. He believed that Grande and the forces behind him were trying to use him to do something, but they didn't say it clearly. Laugh, send Grande away.
