Chapter 64: The New King's Means

Things in the world are impermanent, and fate is a mess.

Ten years ago, Qiong tried desperately to escape from the vortex of power and wanted to survive the princes' throne. Ten years later, he himself became the center of power and was imprisoned by the huge prison of empire and responsibility. Now he can't escape even if he wants to.

His father's revenge was his knot in his heart as a son, but he never thought of the position of emperor. The period of time he was making a fuss in the Elf Kingdom was his dream life, but Arthur pushed him to the position of emperor.

Joan was just so easy, since she couldn't escape, she would take on this responsibility with Arthur.

Everyone was surprised by the simplicity of Joan. He waved his sleeves and dusted off the seat God and Walter and Yu Hui sat directly on it after being burned out.

Before he could announce the world or the throne ceremony, he took the full seat and began to issue imperial orders to perform his duties as an emperor.

The first imperial order: All the civil and military officials and nobles of the empire will maintain their original positions, their original titles, and their crimes and responsibilities will not be corrected from the previous dynasty. From now on, those who have dereliction of duty and abused the law will be killed, and those who have diligent work and meritorious service will be rewarded.

As soon as Qiong's first imperial order was released, all the civil and military officials in the hall were relieved, which meant that the new emperor did not intend to liquidate the old ministers of the previous dynasty, and even the position of Prime Minister Gurnoro of the emperor and empress was preserved.

On the one hand, Qiong did this to win people's hearts, and on the other hand, it was a helpless move. In the crisis of the invasion of the demon clan, he had no time to break the old military and political system of the empire and rebuild the system. What's more, although most important officials, including Prime Minister Gurnoro, belonged to the lineage of the emperor and the queen, were still very capable. Now, they were given the opportunity to show their feelings in front of the new emperor, and most of them would repay them with all their heart.

As the saying goes, the emperor and the ministers are the new court officials, but the new court officials are only more liked by the new emperor, rather than being more capable.

The second imperial order, the wounded soldiers in the city of Kurga and surrounding cities immediately began to be evacuated. The people chose to evacuate to the Kingdom of Isaac or the Kingdom of Kildan. However, it was recommended to evacuate to the northwest of Isaac, which was further away from the war. The Duke of Jiayong had prepared temporary residences and a large amount of unreclaimed land for the refugees in advance.

As the alliance envoy, Arthur took the initiative to explain the reasons for evacuating the people in the hall. The Star and Moon Alliance will unite all races with the sea tribes, and the demons will fight to the death, but the city of Kurga is definitely not a suitable place for the decisive battle. The place of the decisive battle will choose the rainforest area closer to the Elf Kingdom or the Kingdom of Isaac, which is closer to the Orc Wasteland, so the empire must prepare to give up the city of Kurga in advance.

The two imperial orders in court were just the beginning. After Qiong entered Kurga City, he began a series of integrated resources and prepared for the war.

Joan ascended the throne with thunder. King Timothy, who lost all his territory, lost even his battles, and could not even get a complete legion, had no capital to oppose. King Duras II of Locke, who was facing the danger of destroying the country at any time, was similar to the empire, and the remaining 200,000 troops were not enough to protect himself. As for the slightly stronger Kingdom of Kildan, when the smart woman Hua Yunfei knew that the new king had married the elf queen, she was the first to congratulate the new king and handed over all the kingdom's troops to the empire for command.

As a great magician, Joan did not completely take over the military power or hand over to Arthur as expected by the outside world. Instead, he handed over the 400,000 imperial army and Kildan's 200,000 troops to Klismann, but he raised supplies and equipment for the army like a logistics officer.

On the third day of Qiong's succession as Emperor, the first support forces of the Star and Moon Alliance arrived, ten dwarf airships and five giant dragons.

Although the support force was not large, it immediately increased the morale of the human army. Because these ten dwarf airships actually flew over the sea army camp, the dwarf artillery bombed the ground with a storm.

No matter how fierce the demonized warriors are, they cannot reach the attacks from above. A sea clan general flew into the sky to shoot down the dwarf airship, but he did not expect that there were still elite strong men from the alliance and various tribes hidden in the airship. These sea clan powerful men were besieged as soon as they came up. After a brief confrontation, they lost seven or eight generals and fled back to the barracks in a panic.

What the sea clan didn't know was that the Dwarf King and Arthur were also on the airship, but because the demons did not show up, these two people did not show up on their own initiative.

Since this day, the dwarf airship and the dragon have been taking turns patrolling the sky above the Xunnan River. Even if there is any movement in the sea clan army, it cannot escape the eyes of the coalition forces.

The changes in the human army immediately aroused the alert of the sea clan. At the same time, the information that Qiong succeeded as the Emperor and was preparing to join forces with various tribes to prepare for a decisive battle with the demon clan was also spread to the demon clan.

The reaction of the demon clan was much stronger than the empire expected. On the eighth night when Qiong succeeded to the Emperor, a 30,000-strong army of demonized sea clan suddenly appeared outside the city of Kurga.

When the main force of the imperial army and the sea clan army confronted each other across the river, a newly added demonized sea clan army quietly passed through the Seidal Mountains and went around to the rear to directly raid the temporary capital of the Light Empire.

It can be concluded that this army of demons must have been accompanied by demons. Such a large-scale army raid, not to mention that the empire's sentry detectives did not discover it, even the dark royal court stationed in the Seidal Mountains did not notice it.

When the vigilant forces outside the city of Korga discovered this sea army, they were less than ten miles away from the city of Korga. When the siege broke out, the imperial city guards had just rushed to the top of the city.

Because the main force of the imperial army is on the Xunnanjiang defense line, the city guards and imperial guards in Kurga City combined are less than 50,000.

Qiong personally got on the top of the city. The crossbows and catapults on the top of the city were fully fired, and the dense firepower poured into the black sea army.

The demonized sea warriors launched waves of charge against the densely falling artillery fire. Even if these demonized warriors who had no pain had their legs broken and their heads broke, they would still climb up the city wall as long as they could move.

The Emperor personally went to the front line to kill the enemy. The imperial warriors were inspired by this and fought desperately with bloody battles, killing the sea warriors who kept climbing up on the top of the city, and even slamming the sea warriors down on the top of the city with their arms around.

Even though the Imperial soldiers were fighting desperately, the sea clan also attacked at all costs. As the battle continued, more and more demonized soldiers climbed up to the city and pushed the subsequent reinforcements of the human army.

Joan had no choice but to give an order to retreat.

During the battle of Kurga's siege, the imperial army only resisted for one night, and was killed by the sea army before dawn.

Fortunately, on the second day after Qiong ascended the throne, he started the evacuation and transfer of the people in the city. Most of the people and the wounded soldiers had already been moved away before the Hai tribe attacked the city. In order to enter Kurga City, the sea tribe only attacked the city on one side. The remaining people in the city took the opportunity to escape from the city gates in other directions, and the things that could not be taken away in a hurry were burned.

The raid of the sea tribe seemed to have won a great victory, but it only got an empty city. The demonized sea tribe warriors who died in the siege may not be much smaller than those of the human army?
