Chapter 814: Xingfeng's Expedition

In the Thunder City Grand Council, after the bell for the emergency meeting rang, all members of the Grand Council gathered together without stopping.

Some of the MPs were dishevelled in their clothes, looked confused, and looked around with bewildered eyes. Their gazes were clear and stupid. Needless to say, they were obviously reserve MPs of insufficient status.

Some members of parliament had already taken their seats, dressed neatly, whispering to each other, frowning and looking worried. These were people of higher status and well-informed.

"What happened? Why did Beacon City rebel?"

"Lighthouse City is the border hub of our Bracada, facing the realm of chaos.

The rebellion of Lighthouse City means the fall of the Chaos Realm, which is a huge event."

"We must hold people accountable!"

"You're crazy. The demigod who guards Beacon City is His Excellency the Dragon Slayer. Who dares to hold that lord responsible?"

"Yes, with the Dragon Slayer protecting us, why would Beacon City rebel?"

"I have some news, I don't know if it's true or not, you must not tell anyone.

I heard that the Dragon Slayer had a falling out with the Thunder Temple and left our Bracada. Some time ago, she appeared at the border of Avili to help the elves resist the Chaos invasion.

Lord Deken, who had been missing for many years, was also with her. "

"Ah?! The two lords are reunited as mother and son, and both have rebelled against Bracada."

"What do you mean by treason? Are you trying to kill yourself?! It is us who are treasonous when we leave Bracada. If Your Majesty leaves, it means that we have different political views and need to adjust our strategy.

Small contradiction, small contradiction, understand? "

"Ohhh. Does that mean there haven't been any demigods stationed in Beacon City during this period?"

"Yes! It just so happened that something happened during this period.

It seems that those villains have been waiting for this opportunity for a long time."

“Bang, bang, bang! Silence!”

Escher banged his hammer hard, silencing the noise in the Great Council.

He had a haggard expression and a messy beard, looking as if he had suffered a lot and was extremely hard-working.

He looked around and said seriously:

“Colleagues, the latest news is also bad news.

Located in the eastern part of Bracada, in the inland sea area, the main city of the Chaos Border - Lighthouse City, declared rebellion.

The Tears of Yasha in Lighthouse City have left Bracada. The defenders of Lighthouse City, the 1st and 2nd Airship Regiments of the East Territory, the 3rd and 4th Stone Statue Regiments, and the 2nd Alchemist Regiment have all lost contact.

In addition, a total of 62 magic crystal cannons, 3,600 miracle heroic spirits, and 30 mythical heroic spirits fell into the hands of the rebels.

We must be prepared for all Beacon City defenders to rebel."

Escher paused for a moment, raised his head and said loudly:

"Sky, open the strategic map!"

"Talingtiankong received the strategic map. It is opening."

An ethereal voice sounded above the Grand Council, and soon afterwards, a huge map projection quickly emerged in the air.

On this map, an area east of Bracada appears bright red.

Escher continued:

“Please look at the map.

As a fortress city specifically designed to defend against Chaos invasions, Lighthouse City's military force is extremely powerful.

This red area is the area that the Beacon City rebels can reach in three days.

It can be seen that there are three main cities, 385 county cities, more than a thousand acropolises, and countless villages covering the area.

With their military strength, it is impossible to resist the rebel forces in Lighthouse City.

Even if our reinforcements were to leave now, they would not be able to prevent the fall of this area. We have no choice but to abandon these areas."

Immediately afterwards, a yellow area appeared on the map.

Escher continued:

“This area is where the rebels need 4 to 7 days to reach, and it is also our key defense target.

We need to recruit troops as quickly as possible to passively defend these areas and buy time to organize a strong enough counterinsurgency force to wipe out all the rebels.

This is the core topic of this emergency meeting.

Next, it is time for free questions. ”

As soon as Escher finished speaking, Deris in the first row stood up:

"Your Excellency the Grand Chancellor, may I ask who is the leader of the rebels?"

"I'm sorry, but there is no information about the rebel leader."

Escher lowered his head and said.

"No information at all?"

Deris frowned:

“If I remember correctly, the intelligence agency of our Grand Council should be in charge of the Mage Guild.

Mr. Speaker, don't you have anything to say?"

When Deris said this, all the parliamentarians held their breath.

The leader of the logistics faction questioned Escher of the mage faction in front of the entire Grand Council. If one is not careful, there will be a bloody storm.

But what no one expected was that Escher did not find any excuse to shirk responsibility, nor did he fight back. Instead, he said sadly:

"This is my dereliction of duty. Being both the president and the grand speaker of the Mages' Guild is too much of a burden for me.

I thought I was capable enough to take care of both sides, but obviously, my energy and ability were not up to par, which ultimately led to this major mistake.

After dealing with this rebellion, I will immediately submit my resignation to the Thunder Temple and resign from my positions as leader of the Mage Guild and Grand Chancellor."

In an instant, the whole audience was in an uproar.

Many lawmakers widened their eyes, wondering if they had heard it wrong.

The Grand Speaker is the pinnacle of power in Bracada, and there are countless benefits just from sitting in that position.

Back then, the four of Aeschel fought tooth and nail for the position of Grand Chancellor, and no one knew what a huge price they paid.

Although the leader of the Mages Guild is not as powerful as the Grand Speaker, it is also a position that countless people dream of.

But now, Escher is actually going to resign? !

The news was so explosive that it even surpassed the rebellion in Lighthouse City.

"quiet!"

Escher struck the hammer solemnly.

"All the issues concerning me are not the focus of this meeting. We are now discussing the rebellion in Beacon City.

Your Majesty, Dairis, do you have any other questions besides the rebel leader? "

Deris looked at Escher deeply, took a breath, and said:

"there is none left."

Deris sat down and Fafnir quickly stood up.

As the leader of the war faction, Fafnir commands the most powerful legion in Bracada besides the Titans - the Naga Legion.

The main role of the Naga Legion in Bracada has never been foreign war, but to suppress rebellion.

There was a rebellion in Lighthouse City, and it was Favrne's duty to send troops to suppress it.

Therefore, he asked very detailed questions.

"Your Excellency, the Grand Chancellor, I need detailed information on the armies of Lighthouse City, including the Heroic Arms, Regular Arms, War Machines, Alchemical Weapons, Vehicles, etc. I want everything."

Escher bowed his head deeply:

"Of course, these will be provided to you, Your Majesty.

However, all this information is top secret and requires a Rubik's Cube to unlock, and our Grand Council does not have the authority to do so.

I will notify the Thunder Temple and have the information delivered to you as soon as possible.

As the leader of the Naga Army, you have independent military discretion, and you can leave the meeting early to prepare the troops."

"Forget it. I don't want to be cannon fodder until I understand the situation."

Fafnir pursed his lips and said:

"I don't have any more problems."

He was about to sit down when Escher called him:

"Wait a moment, Your Majesty Fafner, according to your experience, which areas should we defend more appropriately?"

"Without knowing the specific enemy intelligence, I can't jump to conclusions too early .

However, the Silver Wind Canyon, Snowtop Fortress and Ice Water Corridor must not be lost.

If we defend these three areas, even if the enemy occupies the surrounding cities, we can still attack or defend.

My suggestion is to send troops immediately to reinforce the defense of these three areas."

Escher looked up and looked at the three areas on the map, and he quickly understood.

"I see, thanks for the advice."

He stroked the long staff in his hand and said:

"Next, does anyone have any questions?"

…

"Silver Wind Canyon, Snow Fortress, Ice Water Corridor..."

Pickle Jim grinned and smiled:

"Okay! I understand."

…

"What, Beacon City rebelled ahead of time?"

Qi Ge had just returned victoriously from the Origin Singularity, and before he had time to enjoy the joy of victory, he received news that shocked him greatly.

The internal rebellion in Bracada was originally part of the Seven Pigeons Plan, but the timing of the rebellion in Lighthouse City was wrong.

“It’s too early.

At this time, the internal unrest in Bracada had not yet reached its peak, and all factions still had some strength to spare.

If there is unrest at this time, it will be impossible to achieve the effect I want.

There is no need for the Titans to take action. The major factions of the Grand Council alone are enough to suppress the rebellion in Beacon City.

This would not only be of no benefit to me, but would also make Bracada more alert.

After a large-scale rebellion, Bracada will definitely conduct a thorough internal investigation.

The teacher's hands and feet are not clean, the goblin tavern on Wolfs' side is not clean either, and the Naga Queen's side is even less clean.

If any one of my arrangements in Bracada is discovered, it will easily affect the entire system.

The most important thing is, I don’t know who is in control of this rebellious force, let alone what their purpose is or how strong they are.

If the opponent is strong enough and can delay until the time I want, then it's fine, but if the opponent is a clown, then it will be bad.

Now I have two choices. One is to wait and see. The second is to use this rebellion as a cover to forcibly launch a goblin rebellion.

If I choose the first one, if the rebellion is quickly suppressed, various searches will follow and all my plans will have to be thrown out and started over again.

If you choose the second option, in case the rebellion is quickly suppressed, Bracada's troops can quickly turn around and suppress the goblin rebellion.

What I need is a raging fire that can burn the sky and the earth in an instant and burn in all directions.

But if the fire cannot be started and put out quickly, then not only will all my previous efforts be wasted, but my subsequent plans will also become extremely difficult.

Damn it.

How to choose? "

Qi Ge bit his fingers and quickly deduced the situation in his mind.

Both options are not very good.

Then, there is only one last option left.

Qi Ge took a deep breath and said viciously:

"If there is no other option, we can only take a risky move.

No matter how strong the rebels are, I will make them persevere, even if it means putting myself in danger.

No matter what, I will delay until the time I need it comes!

But if that's the case, I won't be able to handle Adrian and the Ice Sword.

We can only hope that Uncle Tanan can successfully deal with Sandro and the others.

Come on, Uncle Tanan."

…

"quiet!"

Escher struck the hammer hard.

"The free discussion time is over. Next , we will select the generals to quell the rebellion."

"Logistics, Her Majesty Dairis?"

Escher looked at Deris.

Deris slowly stood up and said softly:

“According to the internal discussion of our logistics faction, we have decided to send the legendary Jonesfield, who is good at making and driving iron men, to defend the Snowtop Fortress.

With Jonesfield here, Snowtop Fortress will be as solid as a rock."

"very good."

Escher nodded and looked at Fafnir.

Fafnir did not stand up, but raised his eyebrows:

"I was sent to fight in person during the war. There was no fixed garrison point. I provided support across the board. Wherever there were rebels, I would be there."

"very good."

Escher looked at Troy and his shoulders slumped.

The Industrial Faction has been in a state of decline since Trosa and Pickjem disappeared.

This is equivalent to a person with a broken left leg and a broken right leg. Unless the middle leg is extremely strong, he cannot walk at all.

Troy has some skills in business, but he has no way of supporting the industrial faction in terms of fighting power.

If the Industrial Faction did not have the support of a demigod behind it, this faction would have disbanded long ago. But even so, the Industrial Faction is now in name only.

"Your Majesty Troy? Where are the representatives of your industrial faction?"

"I, we..."

Troy stood up with difficulty, sweating profusely.

"We haven't discussed this yet. Please be flexible, Grand Chancellor. Ha, ha, ha, ha."

"Um."

Escher lowered his eyelids:

“Industrial faction to be determined.

Finally, I will personally lead our mage faction and guard the Ice Water Corridor. During this period, Admiral Somlazun, the Lightning King, will temporarily take over my position as Grand Chancellor.

Then, just…”

"Wait a mininute."

At this moment, Aged, who had been silent all the time, suddenly stood up.

The eyes of the whole audience were instantly focused on him. No one expected that at this time, the treasure among treasures, [Architect Faction], Aged would actually speak.

Aged coughed and cursed in his heart.

"Damn apprentice, he always gives the teacher problems."

Thinking of Qi Ge's urgent communication just now, he gritted his teeth and said:

"I propose that my apprentice Xingfeng lead the reserve forces of the rebellion suppression army to escort you all."

"ah?!"

"this?!"

The whole audience was in an uproar, and everyone's eyes were dazed.

Escher also frowned and asked in disbelief:

“If I remember correctly, Xingfeng, under the name of Agaide, has just reached the master, right?

I don't look down on his strength.

I mean, as a valuable architect, he shouldn't put himself in danger.

If His Highness Xingfeng dies on the battlefield, even if all the rebels die instantly, it will be a huge loss for us Bracada.
