[A warning to all citizens of Cadia, please leave the city's core area within the time limit - those who do not listen to the advice will bear all the consequences. ]

The capital of the Kingdom of Cardia is a typical large city. A huge castle-like building in the center is the palace where the royal family lives, and the surrounding cities are expanded in circles around this castle.

The scale of this city is comparable to that of the big cities in the empire. It must have taken many years to build to such a scale.

Because of this, the number of residents in the city is quite large...so the Dawn White Bird did not launch an attack immediately after approaching, but instead sent a dissuasion broadcast to the city.

Aarons's target is only the rulers and cities of Cardia, and he does not want to kill innocent ordinary citizens.

"The spiritual power curtain is operating normally. Unless the Cadians fly up directly and confirm it with their naked eyes, they will not be able to detect us."

"It is better to keep it like this for now, so that those who know fear have a chance to leave... and the rest are the kind who put the fate of Cadia above their own lives."

No matter which world or era, such people will exist. But for Aarons and the Empire, they are just enemies that must be eliminated.

"Husband, what do you think will happen next?"

Klia wasn't asking about Cardia, but about the Empire.

Although it was only a broadcast, a large number of people had already fled the capital of Cadia - what would be the outcome for the citizens of the Empire who were already facing a total war?

Even though Her Royal Highness the Princess was not a real princess and had no obligation to care about the future of the empire, she still did not give up thinking about it.

"It's hard to say. Even if we really eliminate the external threat, this civil war will definitely tear the empire apart."

Ordinary citizens don't think about very complicated things - just thinking about their daily lives is already their limit.

A leader who can guarantee them a stable life and hope for the future will naturally gain their support.

But now, there is more than one such leader in the empire.

"The conflict between leaders will extend to ordinary people. Even if neither side has done anything, ordinary people will be hostile to ordinary people on the other side."

"Alas, if that's the case, Luo Lan will have a hard time."

"But now, only the guy who has no connection with either party is suitable to become the emperor. So what we have to do is to pave the way for him."

In fact, someone asked Aarons a long time ago whether he wanted to be a king or an emperor.

He already had great power in his hands, enough to crush anyone who dared to resist. Although he usually didn't care too much about his popularity, he actually already had a group of loyal supporters.

However, Aarons did not intend to become the ruler of a country.

"…In this world, personal strength is still an important factor. I don't have that, so I'm not suitable to lead a country."

The leaders of every country actually have some strength to a certain extent - after all, for people of this level, the biggest threat comes from assassination by combat professionals.

If you don't have the strength, you can't escape the protection of others. And being protected by others is a manifestation of having no autonomy.

If you can't even protect your own life, who will believe that you can protect a country?

"So only Roland is suitable for this position... What a pity."

Although Aarons has not said what he wants to do in the future, Claire has already decided that no matter where he ends up, she will follow him.

"There's nothing to regret. That guy was supposed to be in that position. Well, now we should prepare to help him get rid of the trouble."

……

After the broadcast from an unknown source spread throughout the capital of Cadia, Cadia's elite troops immediately took action, searching for the enemy who had approached the capital at some point.

Although no reliable conclusion has been reached regarding the surprise attack on the reserve troop assembly area a few days ago, the Cadians are already convinced that the Empire had used some special means to attack them.

And now the broadcast that was interfering with normal communications in the city was clearly a threat from the Empire.

"We must stop them! Find out where the broadcast signal is coming from!"

However, after three days of comprehensive detection, Cardia's ace magician team came to a strange conclusion - the source of the broadcast signal was in the sky, but there was nothing in the sky.

Although the magicians have taken out precise detection arrays, the all-round detection of the sky has not yielded any results... The broadcast signal seems to have appeared out of thin air, and its source cannot be determined at all.

When such results were reported, even some members of the Cardian royal family felt terrified.

"Well, didn't the previous attack on the reserve force cause much damage? The Empire may not be able to attack our city at all... Yes, that's right! The Empire is just trying to scare us!"

"But about 60% of the citizens have already fled the city in the past few days... Although the remaining people are indeed very loyal, they don't have much fighting power."

Most of the fanatical citizens are actually small characters who have no chance to show their faces in normal times. These people can only shout some shallow slogans to express their loyalty, and they don’t have much actual fighting power.

As for those truly powerful mercenaries or chambers of commerce, they had already withdrawn from the city on the first day - those people had obviously sensed some kind of crisis, so they were willing to bear the losses in order to preserve the overall situation.

"There's nothing we can do! Notify the Royal Guards to seal off the city immediately! Don't let anyone leave anymore!"

The King of Cardia cannot be said to be an incompetent mediocrity, but he is not a wise ruler either.

If the city is sealed off now, after most citizens have already fled, it will be too late no matter what happens next.

After receiving this order, the group of magicians hired by the royal family immediately and quietly dismissed everyone, allowing those who did not want to stay and die to leave the city.

Because they knew very well that the Imperials could have launched an attack from the sky without warning and directly destroyed all the facilities in the city...but they gave the residents time to evacuate first, and even sent a special warning broadcast.

This only proves that the Imperials had actually been prepared to destroy the city a long time ago, but the royal family did not realize it at all.

"If we blockade the city on the first day, the Imperials might not have launched an attack directly... There are no ordinary people in the city now. If we don't escape, we will die here."

And when the clever magicians left the city, Cardia's fate finally ushered in a huge turning point -

The empire, which they had always regarded as a thorn in their side, launched a real attack on their territory for the first time in more than a hundred years.
