Chapter 452 Qing Jun’s side


    ??When Duanmuhuai and his party arrived in front of the city gate, the city finally opened its gate, hoisted a white flag, and declared surrender.


    "Who are you………"


    “I am Krim, the lieutenant of Hermann’s fourth legion.”


    ?Standing in front of Duanmuhuai, the blond woman wearing black armor looked pale, but she still maintained the dignity of a soldier.


    “You were the one who ordered the surrender?”


    "Yes."


    ?Krim lowered his head.


    "We know that we are not opponents of the Tribunal. Although from my position, I probably shouldn''t say this, but...please hold your hands high and let the people in this city go. They are innocent."


    "Um………"


    ?Sitting on the chair, staring at Kerim in front of him, Duanmuhuai thought for a moment.


    "Why did you choose to surrender? Instead of escaping? Aren''t you the adjutant of the Fourth Army? Wouldn''t it be better to find someone as a scapegoat and escape by yourself?"


    “Perhaps this is indeed the case...”


    Hearing Duanmuhuai''s question, Krim showed a wry smile.


    "As you said, no matter what, I don''t want to see my subordinates die for unreasonable orders. Moreover, I also know very well that our Fourth Army does not have the strength to fight against the Tribunal. "


    "very good."


    ?Hearing Kerim’s answer, Duanmuhuai nodded with satisfaction.


    “I can see that you are a sensible person, so I won’t beat around the bush. Do you want to cooperate with our Tribunal?”


    "………cooperate?"


    I have to say that Krim was stunned when he heard Duanmuhuai''s question.


    “Sorry, I don’t understand what you mean...”


    "You should understand why our Tribunal is here. The AL cult and Herman have declared war on the Tribunal. Since they think we are easy to bully, let''s show them that we are not easy to bully. However, the Tribunal does not We are not planning to annex Herman, so we hope to cooperate with you.”


    ……You mean…”


    Hearing this, Krim couldn''t help but be stunned. She originally thought that since the Tribunal captured this place, it must be annexed. After all, war has always been like this. But Duanmuhuai said that the Tribunal did not intend to occupy Herman''s land?


    "The enemies of the Tribunal are Archbishop Oz of the AL Church, and Prime Minister Stisser who dares to collude with Priest Oz, act boldly and dare to challenge the majesty of the Tribunal... I heard that Prime Minister Stisser seems to be in charge of Herman''s power at the moment. Right."


    “That’s right…”


    ??Krim did not deny it. In fact, almost all of Herman''s top officials knew this. The newly enthroned Emperor Sheila was a complete puppet, and even government affairs were handled by Prime Minister Stisser. There are also rumors that the prime minister has some kind of shady relationship with Emperor Sheila''s mother, Hermann''s Queen Mother... Of course, this kind of family scandal should not be made public.


    "I know a little bit about Herman''s current situation, and you don''t seem to be that kind of loyal person, so I ask you, do you want to work with us to change Herman?"


    …………”


    "The purpose of the Tribunal is very simple, to completely eliminate Priest Oz, Stisser and their remnants who dare to resist us. It just so happens that Herman is also suffering terribly from these moths right now? There is resistance everywhere. The power exists, do you want to join it?"


    "What do you mean, my lord... you want me to join forces with the Inquisition to eliminate Stither''s party and assist the emperor?"


    “Whether you assist the emperor or not is your own business. Our Tribunal is just here to do what we should do. As long as you don’t provoke the Tribunal, then how you change this country is your own business. It’s that simple.”


    Duanmuhuai stared at Klim, who looked hesitant at the moment.


    “But, but... after all, we are the fourth legion loyal to the empire, and we rebelled rashly..."


    “Rebellion?”


    Hearing this, Duanmu Huai chuckled.


    “No, Miss Krim, this is not rebellion, this is Qing Junzi!”


    ……………Qingjun’s side??”


    "That''s right, Prime Minister Stisser deceived the public with his lies, controlled state affairs, brought trouble to the country, and imprisoned the emperor. It is an unforgivable crime. As a soldier who is loyal to the country and the emperor, you raised troops to the royal city to clear the emperor''s side and protect the imperial power. What crime is there? ?”


    …………???”


    I have to say that after hearing this, Kerim was stunned. This serious woman who usually showed no emotion or anger, even opened her mouth in a graceless manner at this moment.


    ?This rebellion...can you still say that?


    Furthermore...what he said makes sense, how can you prove it? !


    "But, but, as long as the emperor comes forward to explain this situation..."


    “Is it useful?”


    Duanmuhuai sneered and looked at Kerim. "As we all know, the emperor is a puppet. Even if she came out to explain, who would think that she really meant what she said? Instead of being forced to say so by the prime minister? If you want to prove this, it is very simple. Let the emperor order the beheading If you get rid of Stisser, dissolve the Council, and let those lackeys of the Council retire, this will explain the problem, right?"


    …………!”


    ?Hearing this, Krim suddenly trembled, and the girls next to him also looked at him in surprise.


    ?This move is so cruel!


    ?Indeed, as Klim said, Prime Minister Stisse holds great power, and Emperor Sheila is a puppet in his hands. Even if he really makes this slogan, as long as the emperor comes out and says a few words, he will immediately lose his righteousness.


    But it’s different if you add a prerequisite!


    ?Your emperor''s words are of no use. If you want to prove otherwise, just kill Stisser. After all, the slogan refers to Stisse controlling state affairs, causing chaos to the country, and manipulating the emperor. If your emperor wants to prove that this is not the case, he will kill Stisser and then dissolve the Council... Will Stisser be willing?


    He must not be willing!


    ??If the emperor had power, wouldn''t he be beheaded earlier?


    ?So this has fallen into a dead situation. Unless Stisser changes his name and escapes from Hermann, there is only one way to fight to the end!


    Not only that, in this way, they have become famous!


    ?There are actually not no rebellions on this continent, but these rebellions either want to be independent from the country, or they want to overthrow the king and take his own position. This kind of rebellion, if nothing else, is certainly morally unjustifiable. But as soon as Duanmu Huai''s "Qing Jun side, punishing treacherous officials, and protecting the imperial power" came out, it directly raised the rebellion to a new level!


    ?Not only can they stabilize most of the citizens, they may even get many troops loyal to the country to join them!


    After all, if they are simply rebellious, out of the desire to protect their own country, many armies have no choice but to bite the bullet and protect the country even if they cannot stand what their rulers are doing.


    But if you focus on a few specific people, that''s another story!


    We are not going to betray the country, we are going to bring order to the chaos, protect the imperial power, and reorganize the country!


    ?Listen, once these words come out, justice is all on the side of the rebels. As long as you are loyal to the emperor and patriotic, it will be unreasonable for you not to rebel!


    ?Of course, this also depends on the country. In a country like Seth, no one will believe you even if you say this - after all, King Gandhi has such a big fist, anyone who dares to mess with him will be hammered to death.


    ?Of course, in order to become famous as a teacher, Duanmuhuai also made several requests to Kerim.


    First of all, the name of this legion is King Qin, not rebellion.


    Secondly, in order to have a good reputation as a division, wherever you go, you must abide by the laws and regulations, restrain your soldiers, and must not plunder or humiliate citizens. Once discovered, regardless of status, they will be executed in public.


    Krim would naturally not object to this. As a woman, she did not like the behavior of soldiers looting and humiliating them after the war. Of course, this would result in the loss of a large number of soldiers. But fortunately, with the Inquisition on the side, the least thing to worry about is the frontal battlefield.


    ?But Krim also has his own concerns.


    “But in this case, regarding military expenditures...”


    “That would be easier.”


    ? Duanmuhuai seemed quite calm about Kerim''s concerns.


    “The country is controlled by Stisser and his like, and they must have a lot of lackeys.”


    “Of course.”


    “Are there any Stither lackeys or lackeys in this city?”


    ??Krim nodded.


    "Then it''s easy. Catch them and ransack their homes. Distribute food and other supplies to the civilians, and use the rest as military expenses. As for those lackeys, those who commit heinous crimes will be executed in public, and the others will either be imprisoned or exiled. Of course, remember to catch them and release them. Xiao, just don’t beat him to death with a stick.”


    Duanmuhuai gave the answer calmly.


    ?Although Duanmu Huai acted very calmly, others around him couldn''t help but gasped when they heard Duanmu Huai''s words. This move is simply to draw out the firepower, it is extremely evil.


    As Duanmuhuai said, the fact that Stisser''s party was able to cause trouble in Hermann must have a lot of lackeys below, and they must have earned a lot of money and wealth by relying on Stisser. Instead of plundering those civilians and causing public outrage, Might as well just focus on these big fish. And this approach does not conflict with their slogan of "King Qin" at all - after all, their goal is to crack down on these chaotic parties that are causing harm to the country, so it is only natural to crack down on Stisse''s lackeys!


    ?With this calculation, the army has military expenditures, people''s support, and morale have been stabilized. The only loss is Stisser and his lackeys...


    It’s not a loss to make money with blood!


    "I see."


    Krim was able to be an adjutant at a young age, so of course he had a bright mind. At this moment, she turned around in her mind, and after listening to Duanmu Huai''s words, she had already made a decision.


    “I will do as you tell me.”


    “Well, that’s up to you, oh, and…”


    As he spoke, Duanmuhuai made a gesture, and soon saw a night guard coming over, holding a gray-faced man in his hand like a chicken - looking at this face, Ke Reem''s expression changed slightly, well, after all, this face was all too familiar to her.


    "This guy wanted to escape on horseback. If we caught him, we''ll leave it to you."


    Duanmuhuai chuckled, and then the night guard threw the guy to the ground. At this moment, the man raised his head, looked at Krim, and became furious.


    "Krim, what''s going on? Didn''t I want you to defend the city? You actually dare to surrender! You are simply a disgrace to the military! Let''s see if I don''t punish you on the spot!"


    As he said this, Nero got up from the ground, roared and rushed towards Krim. Facing General Nero who was rushing towards him, Krim''s expression remained unchanged and he just stood there quietly. Then, the moment Nero rushed over, she clenched her fist and punched Nero in the face. Then she grabbed his outstretched arm and threw him over her shoulder, slamming him to the ground!


    “Bang!”


    ??Nero collapsed to the ground, rolled his eyes and passed out, while Duanmuhuai looked at him funny.


    “What are you going to do to him?”


    “According to military orders, those who run away from battle will be punished as treason and will be beheaded in public.”


    “Then I’ll leave it to you.”


    …Yes, my lord.”


    Hearing this, Kerim lowered her head and saluted Duanmuhuai again. Then she grabbed General Nero, who was like a dead dog, and turned around to leave.
