Arknights is too real, right?

More than half a month has passed since the throne changed and Verin ordered the execution of the infected.

The defeat of Nolan City did not affect anything. As the empire's most trusted military district, the Central Army was still as powerful as ever.

In many battles, the Southern Military Region's losses were simply irreparable. Although it was claimed to have 300,000 troops, the total strength is now far less than 300,000.

It's like a 5-on-4 draw on Summoner's Rift. Not only is the opponent short of players, but all three lanes have collapsed. There's no suspense about winning or losing this kind of game, it's just a matter of time.

Londinium, royal palace.

Verin was sitting in the empty hall wearing a holy dress, a golden crown on her head, and her face was reddish.

Next to her was a wine flask with exquisite carvings, which was filled with "gold nectar" that ordinary people would never be able to drink even a drop of in their lifetime.

Filling the cup alone, she raised her head and drank it all in one gulp.

For some reason, Wei Lin, who used to be a teetotaler, learned to drink. She once said that alcohol disturbs the heart, hinders thinking, and makes precise thinking confusing.

Once upon a time, Verin was still a young girl. At a royal banquet, she complained angrily to her father, Willanson, who was drunk.

"Father, I hate it when you drink. When you are drunk, I feel that you are no longer the same person I am facing."

Wei Lin is good at understanding other people's hearts. She can grasp the other person's personality through simple communication. It is like an innate instinct. She is used to seeing through others.

Now, she replaced her father and became the new queen of this country, and her first order after taking office caused the country that her father had maintained peace for decades to be devastated.

She used to hate drinking and picked up the glass.

Perhaps she wanted to deliberately turn herself into something she once hated.

Or maybe she was simply using alcohol to numb herself.

"Your Majesty Verin."

A man in military uniform stood in front of Verin. The military rank on this man's shoulders represented the highest authority of the imperial military.

Wei Lin put down the wine glass. Although her face was flushed, the wisdom in her eyes was still not confused at all.

"Commander Frey, how is the recent war in the south?"

Frey nodded slightly.

"Everything went as expected. Through the gap opened in Ganan City, the Central Army moved all the way south and has controlled 21 cities, killing more than 190,000 infected people."

Wei Lin's voice was extremely calm.

"Is there only 190,000? Has General Medes of the Border Defense Military Region counted the number of infected people who have recently left the country?"

Frey replied immediately

"Rough statistics show that since the empire issued the order, the number of infected people who have left the country is around 600,000."

He gently picked up the jug and filled the glass again.

There was dead silence in the hall.

Wei Lin picked up the wine glass and took a slow sip.

Frey, who was not far away, waited for Verin to finish the wine without saying a word.

a long time.

Wei Lin's ethereal voice came again.

"190,000 were killed and 600,000 were sent abroad. This means that there are still more than 3 million infected people in our country. Where are these people?"

Frey replied immediately.

"Comprehensive eradication has been completed in the north, and now most of the infected people in the country are in the south."

This time, Wei Lin's voice was unusually cold.

"General Frey, I don't want to hear anymore about the south and the north. The empire has always given top priority to the cultivation of the army. Now, a national policy that is beneficial to the development of the country is so difficult to implement. Isn't this your dereliction of duty?"

Frey lowered his head slightly.

"It is indeed my dereliction of duty. I have been too indulgent in the Southern Military Region, which has led to the current situation. But your Majesty, rest assured that no one can shake the rule of the Aslan tribe."

Verin leaned gently on the back of the throne.

"Chief Frey, you should know how to win this battle."

"Of course, it's just a matter of time now."

"Will there be any accidents?"

"Absolutely not."

"Are you so sure?"

Frey said confidently.

"As long as the Border Defense Military Region defends the country's borders and prevents other countries from making unknown interferences, the rebellious Southern Military Region will completely collapse within a month at most."

"Can General Medes do it?"

"Your Majesty, rest assured that our border defense lines are impregnable. If neighboring countries want to force a breakthrough, they will have to mobilize several times more troops and pay an unbearable price. No country will be so stupid and base huge losses on a war with unknown purpose. , as long as General Medes defends it, nothing will go wrong."

After hearing Frey's affirmative answer, Verin finally nodded with satisfaction.

"Later, I will ask the Department of Finance to allocate 2 billion in military expenditures to strengthen the stability of the border military area. That's it. As you just said, in one month, I hope there will be no infected person in Victoria."

Frey bowed slightly respectfully.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured."

"Well, I'm tired. Let's talk about this today."

"Yes, my subordinate has resigned."

Wei Lin leaned on the seat, supporting her chin with one hand, with an unknown smile on her face.

"Commander Frey is the chief of military affairs of the empire. According to my father's wishes, except for the noble and royal etiquette in public, there is no need for you to call yourself a subordinate to me in private."

Hearing Weilin's words, Frey's eyes flickered imperceptibly, and his fists under his sleeves clenched slightly.

"The royal family is the supreme being. I will obey His Majesty's orders at all times. The Imperial Military will swear allegiance to His Majesty Verin."

"Oh, I was just saying casually, Mr. Frey said something serious."

Frey bowed again.

"Your Majesty, please have a good rest. I will take my leave now."

"good."

After Frey turned around respectfully, his face turned gloomy as he walked out the door.

At this moment, Wei Lin's voice came from behind again.

"Frey, to be honest, you should be very happy about General Aumont's rebellion."

This time Wei Lin did not call him chief, but called him by his first name.

Frey stopped at the door and did not turn around.

"Your Majesty Wei Lin, you are joking again."

Verin clenched her chin and tilted her head.

"Oh, this is indeed a joke."

After Frey left, more than 30 royal guards wearing golden light armor walked out of the shadows in the corner of the hall.

Tyreg, the commander of the Royal Knights, was carrying a golden sword. However, although he was still strong and strong at this time, one side of the golden armor was empty.

Putting his only arm on the hilt of the sword, Teleg stood next to Verin, leaned over and whispered.

"Your Majesty, Frey has privately hinted to his subordinates at the military headquarters many times recently that Prince Werther is not suitable to lead the Central Army. The reason Frey gave is that members of the royal family should not personally get involved in dangerous situations. This is a matter for the military headquarters. A display of incompetence.”

Wei Lin was still leaning lazily on the king's seat.

"Does Frey think my eldest brother doesn't know how to fight?"

"His Majesty."

"No need to explain, I understand, hehe, greedy guys are always impatient."

Wei Lin said leisurely in an indifferent tone.

"General Grissom is dead, and General Aumont has rebelled. If my eldest brother is kicked out of the military after this turmoil is over, there will be no outsider to him in the four major military regions of the empire, haha."

"Your Majesty, do you want it?"

Wei Lin shook her head slightly, with a rare hint of a wry smile on her expression.

"As long as Frey has the ability to eliminate the infected people in the country, and let him take complete control of the military afterwards, it doesn't matter."
