The Lord of Another World: All Wasted at the Beginning, and He Made His Fortune by Taking in the Fem
Chapter 287 The Empire Divides
——Civil strife has begun.
After the communication problem that had plagued the entire empire for half a month was resolved, the entire empire immediately received several earth-shaking news.
The second prince, Mylan Armand, led the Second Legion to attack and occupy the imperial capital, and publicly announced to the whole country that Emperor Armand VII was assassinated by the first prince, Quinlan Armand, and the Duke of Scott. He then announced that he would inherit the throne and called on the people to fight against the first prince's faction who committed regicide and treason.
The eldest prince also issued a statement saying that the rebellion of the second prince and the second army had led to the complete collapse of the southern front, and the army of the Dusk Kingdom had invaded the empire, killed Duke Booker and destroyed the duchy - the other side was the rebel.
As the two princes each held their own opinions and argued against each other, all kinds of unconfirmed information quickly filled the entire empire.
But it was clear to everyone that an unexpected civil war was about to break out.
……
"...No news yet?"
"Your Highness, because most of the common magic communication networks in the empire were established by the Scott family...so now more than half of the lines have been occupied."
The third prince Loran, who was brought to the Dukedom of Ofei by the Martial God Lingqing, has been paying close attention to the changes in the situation in the empire.
But this is the empire's least valued northeastern region - although large tracts of the empire's territory border the ocean, the coast is full of cliffs with complex terrain, and the near-shore sea is full of reefs and rapids, making it impossible to find a place to build ports and shipping routes.
So this is actually the blind spot of the empire... After the two dukedoms blocked the external trade routes, Duke Oufei was forced to choose self-sufficiency.
And now, communication between here and other areas has become a problem.
"The southern front is not so easy to break through. My sister and brother-in-law will definitely not sit idly by and watch this happen... But where are they now?"
The current situation does not allow anyone to think carefully about countermeasures.
If civil war really breaks out in the empire, the surrounding neighboring countries will definitely take the opportunity to launch an all-out attack and completely destroy the empire's future.
However, Aarons and Claire, who were most likely to solve these problems at this time, lost contact for some reason.
"Your Highness, Duke Ophir is here."
The underage Third Prince didn't know what he could do, but he was very clear about who was controlling his destiny.
"Your Highness, are you looking for me?"
"Duke Oufei... Please tell me, did you foresee this situation long ago, so you spread the news in the imperial capital at that time?"
Duke Oufei once publicly announced in the imperial capital that the emperor was dying of an acute illness, and expressed his disapproval of the eldest prince's succession to the throne. Although most people were skeptical at the time, reality soon slapped those people in the face.
In this situation, there is no chance to stay out of trouble.
"In fact, I worked with Her Royal Highness the Princess at the Duke of Buck's place for a while. I discovered at the time that the Duke of Buck had been bewitched by outsiders and had lost his proper judgment."
"Outsiders... you mean the Star Seeking Group?"
"I suspect that one of the two princes has lost his original self, so he made such a test... But unfortunately, the development of the situation is still faster than I expected."
——You can’t trust everything Duke Oufei says.
Although the third prince Luo Lan is young, he is not a fool who knows nothing.
Although the young duke appears polite and rational, such people are often more calculating.
He must be hiding some ulterior motive - the young prince would not trust others easily in such a situation.
"By the way, Duke, how are Els and Meili doing now? I heard that they are learning from Lingqing Wushen."
"Those two young men are very talented and should soon become your right-hand men."
Although Roland was only allowed to return to the imperial capital alone when he was urgently summoned, he still brought Els and Mary with him - and these two peers who had learned a lot from Aarons did help him a lot.
Now the only people he could trust were these two followers who were once orphans.
"Your Highness, I still want to emphasize one point. The Duke's family will not support you in your fight for the throne, but will definitely guarantee your safety. If the eldest prince and the second prince lose the chance to inherit the throne for some reason, then you will be the only bloodline of the imperial family."
It sounded as if... Duke Oufei had already predicted that the two princes would eventually die.
Luo Lan didn't dare to ask more questions, nor did he want to reveal his thoughts too much, so he just nodded, and skillfully pretended to understand.
"If the Duke has nothing else to say, then go and do your own thing. I have no problem here."
"Then your highness, I will take my leave first."
Only after seeing the young duke leave the room did Roland finally breathe a sigh of relief.
However, the civil war between the two princes is probably inevitable...so what can I do now?
……
Border collar.
"Count, although the Battle of Zhengrong has been suspended...but the honorary nobles from the two factions have already begun to confront each other in the territory. If they fight here, there is a high possibility that our rear will be in trouble."
"I know...what's the situation at the front?"
"We can't completely stop the Cadian advance. Their reserves and personnel are many times greater than ours... Mines and artillery alone are not enough."
There was only one valley connecting the Empire and the Kingdom of Cadia, so the losses suffered by the Cadians in each failed attack were not that great.
They can continuously send new soldiers to deplete the empire's military strength, but the Fourth Legion in the Border Territory now has no backup.
"Also, a few days ago, the Third Battalion of the Third Army left behind on the Southern Front sent us a letter for help... but we have not been able to contact them since then, and we don't know what the situation is over there."
Aarons personally commanded the Yumenhua to go on the expedition just to solve the problem over there - Jiangyue, who stayed behind at the border, knew this very well.
If the war situation over there has not eased, it means that Aarons has failed... But now the magic communication network within the empire has been almost completely cut off, so no one knows what is happening over there.
"Then let's do this... I'll go and deal with the problem of the honorary nobles, and the Fourth Legion will try to maintain the current situation. The longer we hold out, the better."
As long as Aarons and Claire come back, many problems may be solved.
…but where exactly are they now?
