Chapter 32 Before the Storm
(The explosion is over, please support)
As the second largest country on the mainland, the national strength of the Gangduo Empire should not be underestimated. However, under the big era*, this trend has become a burden, and excessive strength brings only suspicion and isolation.
Teris the Great was furious about the orc massacre. In the past few days, the whole internal affairs system has been in a state of overload, with a large number of reports entering every day and a large number of orders being conveyed.
The whole empire is shrouded in this heavy atmosphere.
Imperial Moreg
Foreign Minister Landry looked at the mountains of reports in front of him and sighed deeply. In the past few months, nearly dozens of countries have recalled the resident ambassadors of Gangduo. Countries watched coldly and watched the Gangduo people, who are also human beings, fall into chaos without extending a helping hand.
Indifference is like the cold of deep winter, making people's bone marrow tremble. Landry woke up more than once in a dream and cursed moral decline and humanitarian defeat.
.
The range of activities of orcs is limited to just a large number of people. It is not uncommon for neighboring countries to act as spectators. After all, who is to blame? The Gangduo Empire has fought in the east and west for decades and has not been defeated so far. The ambition of the Gangduo Empire is well known that when the momentum of the unified continent was unstoppable, the appearance of this group of orcs saved their lives.
Landry pinched the report in his hand, gritted his teeth and punched him on the table. The table was polished with good granite. Landry knew how much force it took to knock on the stone table with a bang. He said to himself fiercely, "Is even the so-called sacred empire like this? Damn it."
With that, the report fell on the table and rushed out angrily. The cover of the report on the table reads that the Holy Empire Migalan announced the unilateral cessation of all diplomatic activities in the Gangdo Empire.
Running on the long corridor leading to the palace, Landry was out of breath and ran for a long time. Landry couldn't help laughing at himself. He had never run. When he was young, he was still a famous athlete in the imperial capital.
When he was thinking, with a bang, Landry was hit on the back and a big horse fell to the ground. With his teeth grinning and rubbing his painful chest, Landry was furious and said to himself that I told His Majesty who would make trouble with me. He stood up angrily and scolded, "Which boy is not long-sighted? Can you be responsible for my big thing?"
The man also simply pulled Landry and ran away. As he ran, he scolded, "Damn old man, something big has happened. Something big has happened. Let's report it to your majesty together!"
Landry fixed his eyes and found that the guy who bumped into him was an old friend who had been with him for many years, Secretary of Civil Affairs, Ramson. This solid man did not have the usual pragmatic style today, and he pulled Landry to run in the corridor like this.
As he ran, Landry asked, "Hey, old ghost, is your thing more serious than mine?" Ramson also ignored Landry, directly took out the passage order and threw it to the guards in front of him, and shouted, "Report urgently, there is no need to pass it!"
Seeing this, Landry also hurriedly took out his own passage order and threw the passage order to another guard as usual. Without saying much, he directly broke in.
The whole palace is full of chaos and noise. In the hall, all the senior officials have arrived. To their surprise, Tyre the Great seemed to be indifferent to this.
Since the news of the orc slaughter of the city reached the imperial capital, the usual weekly court meeting has been changed to once a day. Every day, news from all over the country is reported as soon as possible, that is, because of such efficient efficiency, the operation of the empire can be as stable as before. Today, I don't know why it seems to be the time of disaster convergence. Today, all kinds of messy accident problems piled up like a tide, and the result is the chaos of the internal affairs system.
The left prime minister of the empire, Rigg and the right prime minister Saida, are on both sides of Teris. As the right-hand arm of Teris, the two can naturally feel the helplessness of Teris. Therefore, when they get the signal of Teris, they immediately patted their hands to signal their subordinates to be quiet.
Zuo Xianglige first said: "Now local affairs are cheap, and irrelevant topics will be discussed later. Now please ask the ministers to explain the difficulties encountered in order, and then your majesty and we can make a correct judgment, which must be clear first."
"Well, I'll talk about it first." A white-haired woman came forward. As the only female minister in the mainland, Chancellor of the Exchequer Chanel Nayalan naturally had enough weight to speak first. "The Ministry of Commerce has now encountered unprecedented difficulties. The Principality of Kash, which originally had a lot of trade exchanges with us, has been temporarily with our country because of the situation. The cut off business has caused a huge blow to our current trading system. Now, affected, the chambers of commerce of the Trust Alliance has also stopped business dealings with us..."
"What is this? Move back." Landry was not happy and jumped forward. He interrupted Chanel's speech and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I have just received a notice that the Holy Empire Michalan has unilaterally stopped all diplomatic activities with our country. There must be a conspiracy in it, Your Majesty!"
"Migalan?" Tyris's eyes were sinking and his mouth was full of benevolence and morality. He liked the country with a knife in the back. When he was young, his father commented on the country of Migalan.
Without waiting for Landry to continue to say, Tyris pressed his palm and said, "I have my own determination on this matter. You don't have to panic. If you continue to arrange it, you must appease the surrounding affiliated countries." After signaling the next speaker, Tyreth closed his eyes and listened quietly.
The so-called shadow is actually a secret agency of the Gangduo Empire, whose authority is nothing more than doing something dark. The world has a bright side, naturally a dark side, and a shadow. As the most reliable intelligence agency of Tyreus, its power cannot be underestimated.
Of course, intelligence is only part of the shadow work, and more assassinations, infiltration, etc. are not mentioned here for the time being.
Returning to the palace, as the ministers said one by one, all kinds of troubles were basically divided into three levels. Among them, the report of Civil Affairs Minister Ramson was quite alarmist.
"Your Majesty." When it was Ramson's turn, Ramson was also ambiguous and said calmly and quickly: "Sato Province unilaterally lost all contact with the imperial capital and suspected that there was a change."
Sato Province is the location of Togu. Because of the vicious impact of the Togu massacre incident, the whole region has been in a state of panic for several months.
There are many provocators who point their spearheads directly at the top of the empire. People with brains will understand why orc troops can cross the long border line to reach the hinterland of the empire without hindrance.
"Now it is imperative to solve the vicious impact of this incident and give the people an explanation. If it's too late, I'm afraid that people from other places will also flock."
The surrounding ministers were stunned to hear Ramson's shocking and arbitrary assertion, and for a moment, the whole council hall was silent.
Terris rubbed his temples. Although he took a veryyitic approach in this extraordinary period, he did not care about the bold admen of his ministers, but Ramson was too bold.
If the news spreads outside, it can be imagined how much impact it will have.
So Tyrese's first reaction was whether to send this big-mouthed guy to an underground prison to reflect for a few days.
Ramson also analyzed himself despite the hint of Landry grinning at him.
Listening to Ramson's seemingly absurd but logical analysis, Teres remembered the meeting with the returning Torresta a few days ago.
....................
"Your Majesty!" Torista knelt on one knee, "Weichen brought you some unfortunate news!"
Although it had been expected, when he heard Torresta say that word himself, Tyris's heart still throbs.
Holy religion... Over the years, it has been neglecting cooperation with the Holy religion, and the most influential religious group in the mainland can't help but attack Gangduo in the end? As an emperor, Tyreus naturally knows what religion is like, but his philosophy has always believed that religion is just some stale things. The fundamental route of governing the Gangduo Empire is morality, etiquette and morality, which is the direction of the Gangduo empire. For religion, it is mainly natural.
After all, it is a hidden danger.
He suddenly put away his thoughts and looked straight at Ramson, the Minister of Civil Affairs, who made the statement below. It seemed that he felt the sight of Teris, and Ramson also stopped his own remarks and quietly waited for Teris's speech.
"What Aiqing said is reasonable, but today, I don't want everything you hear here to spread to any unexpected place in this hall." He calmly stated all this, and then Tyreth said to the next right-hand minister, "At present, everything is done cheaply by the place. Saida Aiqing quickly issued this order."
Rubbing his temples again, Teres said calmly, "Let the first column of the military headquarters enter the palace quickly, and then go to the knight tower to invite Lord Lusa to come."

The night before the storm is always so quiet.
In this era of countless undercurrents, a drastic change is brewing. No one will know in advance that this upheaval will have such a huge impact on the world, and no one knows what kind of monster this upheaval will eventually create.
Until a hundred years later, people are still used to calling this upheaval the dividing point of the times. The old era will eventually pass and a new future will surely come.
