"But having such thoughts alone cannot save the Empire; the strength gap between the enemy and us is too great. If we continue to send soldiers to the battlefield, I fear that in the end, our Empire will have no citizens left."
"This is my incompetence; I have no way to eliminate all hidden dangers before the crisis arrives... so I can only humbly ask Your Majesty to step forward!"
Honest's tears flowed down drop by drop, sounding as if he really cared about the lives of those soldiers.
But at this time, no one dared to interrupt, not even the Minister's son, Syura, who just turned his head away and stopped looking at Honest, completely not daring to interfere.
Is that so? So the Empire is already facing such a dire situation... As Emperor, I naturally cannot let those people go to their deaths!
Although the Emperor was not very old, under the recent 'influence' of Minister Honest, he had learned to care for the lives of the Empire's citizens and thus stepped forward.
The little Emperor hopped down from the throne, looking at the assembled officials below with an expression he deemed majestic.
I already know that this battle is a fight for the survival of the Empire. Any slight contempt or mistake will lead to the Empire's destruction, so I have decided...
I will pilot the supreme imperial arms and personally lead the army into battle!
We must completely eliminate those barbarians who disturb our Empire and bring eternal peace to the Empire!
The little Emperor's childish voice spread throughout the great hall, immediately exciting the civil and military officials of the Empire once again.
That was the supreme imperial arms!
They hadn't expected that even though it had rarely been activated in the past thousand years, they would actually have the fortune to see it this time.
Your Majesty is wise! We will follow you to the death!
Amidst the cheers, the Empire also made its final declaration before the war, and then, in a tense atmosphere, prepared for the final battle.
—
After the reforms of Cerydra, the Northern Country was no longer what it used to be, and top-tier warriors emerged one after another.
The Empire had a thousand-year foundation and the supreme imperial arms as a major trump card, so it was unlikely that they would lose.
But what do we, the resistance, have?
Unlike the Northern Country and the Empire, the resistance had not been established for long, nor did they have the ability of Cerydra to rise up as a power in a short time...
What should we do next?
The Leader of the Resistance Army looked blank, apparently having already understood the situation in the world... How should he put it?
The resistance could not see a single glimmer of hope!
Once upon a time, the Leader of the Resistance Army had fantasized that with enough manpower and imperial arms, he would definitely be able to overthrow the Empire.
But as time passed, the Northern Country and the Empire successively revealed their trump cards, which truly shocked the Leader of the Resistance Army for a whole year!
Cerydra, God Slayer, Golden Descendants, Super Danger Beast, Millelith...
Little Emperor, Honest, supreme imperial arms, Wild Hound, million-strong army...
Looking at the paper strength, the Northern Country was the strongest, the Empire was second, and the resistance had become the weakest, now only able to follow behind the Empire like wild dogs to pick up some leftovers.
So, what could the resistance rely on to win?
An iron will?
Saying this, the Leader of the Resistance Army didn't even believe it himself, and could only helplessly cast his gaze toward the silver-haired, purple-eyed beauty on the side.
High Priestess, tell me... do we have a chance of victory?
The High Priestess of the Peace Religion had not left since she foresaw the future, but instead used all her strength to help the resistance, all to facilitate an alliance between the resistance and the Northern Country.
It was a pity that this alliance did not last long before it was declared broken due to the assassination attempts by the resistance.
Of course!
The silver-haired beauty's eyes flashed with deep light. She looked at the extremely nervous Leader of the Resistance Army with a smile, and even her tone of voice became gentle.
Please rest assured, with the Northern Country, the Empire, and the resistance fighting, the one who will eventually achieve victory will definitely be 'us'!
