Imperial warlords: Cannons are the only truth

The Western Continent – ​​within the territory of Lanxi.

"how's it going?"

"Any response?"

Blue West President Christy Brandon paced back and forth anxiously, constantly urging the communications staff beside him to answer questions.

After receiving another negative answer, Christy Brandon's already depressed mood became even heavier and worse.

The telegram requesting assistance had been sent almost three hours ago.

However, we have not received a single response to this day.

Christy Brandon knew that this outcome was extremely detrimental to his situation...

There are only two possibilities—first, the nearby Lanxi army has also become part of the rebels.

Secondly, the nearby Lanxi army has been either scattered or no longer exists.

On the current battlefield in the Western Roman Empire, it is commonplace for entire units to be wiped out.

Often, the troops of both sides in a conflict are annihilated by the enemy's long-range attacks.

In the retaliatory wars that were unregulated and aimed entirely at destruction, the scenes of ground troops attacking each other were almost nonexistent on the Western Roman battlefield.

Instead, it became a contest between long-range firepower and large-scale air strikes......................

The Falcon missile invented by the Pulun people became the most frequently used "star weapon" in long-range attacks between the two sides.

Large-scale aerial battles involving thousands of aircraft from both sides often occur frequently.

Now that the war has progressed to this point, the two sides have entered a phase of competing for supplies.

In the face of a war fought without rules or regard for consequences, the continent of Xiluo is now ravaged by war and riddled with holes.

More than 70 percent of the cities on the Western Continent have been reduced to ruins.

Therefore, the entire industrial base and industries of Western Rome have been completely destroyed.

In other words, every heavy artillery piece, every fighter jet, every missile, every tank, every warship, and every submarine that both sides can deploy is essentially being depleted as they are consumed.

Basically, no replenishment is available.

Moreover, if damage or malfunction occurs during use, it is basically impossible to repair.

Because—they simply couldn't find enough spare parts......................

Before the war began, both sides knew that it would be an extremely fierce battle.

However, no one expected the war to spiral out of control and escalate to such a devastating degree.

It's no exaggeration to say that the entire continent of Xiluo was utterly destroyed...

-------------------------------------

Now, Lancy President Christy Brandon's situation is almost exactly as the Secret Intelligence Service analyzed.

Although Christy Brandon has not yet died at the hands of his own people.

However, judging from the current situation—if nothing unexpected happens, Christy Brandon is probably doomed this time…

Christy Brandon suffered a mutiny by his guards.

If it weren't for Christy Brandon's quick thinking and the loyalty of his double, who drew the rebels away with his own body, it wouldn't have been possible.

This gave Christy Brandon the opportunity to hide in the underground chamber before the Royal Guard stormed his hideout.

Otherwise, Christy Brandon would either be dead from the rebels' gunfire or already a prisoner of war...

However, the rebels outside seem to have discovered the existence of the double.

They have already launched a search operation in full swing.

As time goes by, it's only a matter of time before the rebels find Christy Brandon, who is hiding in the secret room.

Moreover, even if the rebel forces did not discover Christy Brandon's hiding place, they would not be able to hold out for long.

Because the secret room where Lansfield President Christy Brandon was hiding was a small emergency room.

The food and drinking water available inside are very limited.

Currently, there are seven people, including Christy Brandon, accompanying him in hiding in the underground chamber.

The food and drinking water in the underground chamber, even if used sparingly, would only last for three days if shared among seven people.

In other words, even if the rebels didn't notice anything amiss, Christy Brandon and the others would be without supplies from the fourth day onwards after hiding in the underground chamber for three days!

In this situation, it's highly uncertain how long Kristy Brandon and others can hold out...

Moreover, it seems that Christy Brandon's double has now been exposed.

Rebel forces are conducting a thorough search of the area.

In this situation, Christy Brandon's hiding place could be discovered by the rebels at any time.

If the Lanxi army were nearby and could quickly arrive to quell the rebellion, Christy Brandon might still have a glimmer of hope.

But reality is often cruel...

Christy Brandon's plea for help went unanswered.

Even after regaining his senses, Christy Brandon suspected that it was precisely because of his telegram requesting help that the rebels discovered so quickly that the person they had killed was his double!

-------------------------------------

"Hello everyone, I am Johnson Felix, commander of the Lansey Guards."

"I now officially take over Lansey! And on behalf of the Lansey Provisional Government, I hereby dismiss Christy Brandon from his position as president."

"At the same time, a full arrest warrant is issued for Christy Brandon, the ringleader of the Lanxi gang!"

"Note—what we are doing now is not an act of rebellion, but a righteous act to set things right."

"This operation also received unanimous support from the main generals of the Lanxi military!"

"As everyone knows, it was Christy Brandon's mistakes and inhumane orders that caused this war, which affected the entire continent of Xiluo, to quickly escalate into a chaotic and inhumane war of destruction!"

"Christie Brandon is not only fully responsible for Lanxi's tragic fate, but he is also the instigator of the tragedy that has ravaged the entire continent of Xiluo!"

"If it weren't for Christy Brandon's indiscriminate destruction orders, the continent of Xiluo wouldn't have been ravaged to such an extent."

"Therefore, Christy Brandon is not only the chief villain of Lanxi, but also the chief villain of the entire Xiluo Continent!"

"He is the culprit who brought all the calamities to the Western Continent!"

"No person of conscience or humanitarian spirit in Xiluo would forgive such a monster......................."

"Here, I would like to appeal to Christy Brandon himself, who is still at large, and those who are still being misled and accompanied by him, to surrender themselves to the Provisional Government of Lansey."

“I know you’re hiding around here right now.”

"The Guards have begun a thorough search operation."

“You should know that under these circumstances, you absolutely cannot escape.”

"If someone voluntarily surrenders themselves to the authorities, we can still offer them lenient treatment!"

"Whoever repents and voluntarily escorts the criminal Christy Brandon from Lansey will not only receive a pardon but also a generous reward!"

"Because your righteous act will be a heroic feat to save Lanxi, and you deserve to be praised!"

"At the same time, I also advise you—if Christy Brandon himself can step forward and take responsibility for his crimes, we will spare you from physical suffering."

"Otherwise, you should know what kind of treatment you will receive if we find you!"

"We have reached an agreement with the punitive organization."

"If we can hand over Christy Brandon voluntarily and have him sign the unconditional surrender document, this war will end very quickly!"

"Therefore, I would like to reiterate my advice to Christy Brandon himself!"

"If you still have any conscience and realize your mistakes, then use your actions to express your sincere repentance to Lanxi."

"This is the greatest expression of repentance you can offer right now..."

The radio broadcast a speech by Johnson Felix, commander of the Lansey Guards, who was in charge of launching the rebellion.

He heard on the radio Johnson Felix's accusations against him and that the rebellion had the unanimous support of the Lannish military leadership.

The last shred of hope that Christy Brandon had was completely shattered...

He knew that a miracle was no longer possible for him!

The rebellion launched by Johnson Felix and the Lancy Guards was supported by the Lancy military.

No wonder Christy Brandon's telegram for help went unanswered.......................

It is clear that the surrender faction has completely taken control of the Lanxi army.

After hearing Johnson Felix's accusations against him on the radio, Christy Brandon felt nothing but bitterness and no anger.

Christy Brandon clearly remembered that it was these very generals of the Lanxi military who, filled with righteous indignation and fervent emotion, devised the plan for revenge against the Prun people.

They clamored with absolute certainty that they would make the people of Pulun pay the heaviest price and let them know the terrifying consequences of angering Lanxi!

These same generals, at a high-level meeting, confidently concluded that the people of Pulun must suffer a sufficiently heavy price before they will learn to be afraid!

Only in this way can the people of Pulun be brought back to the negotiating table!

In other words—actually, at that time, Christy Brandon did not quite agree with the retaliation plan proposed by the radical faction in the Lansey military.

However, the Lanxi military was in a state of high spirits at the time, and was overwhelmed by this radical viewpoint.

In that situation—if Christy Brandon, as president, were to veto the retaliatory actions already planned by the Lancelot military, it would be an incredibly cowardly act!

Therefore, Christy Brandon approved the retaliatory plan against Prun under immense pressure from the Lanssey military.

And now—in the mouths of the Lanxi military—the blame for pushing the Xiluo Continent into an abyss has been directly shifted to Christy Brandon.

They even went so far as to label Christy Brandon as the chief villain of Lanxi or even the chief villain of Xiluo!

Faced with the utterly shameless actions of the Lanxi military, Christy Brandon, whose power was already waning, knew perfectly well that anything he said now would be meaningless.

He's definitely going to take the blame for this!

Moreover, Christy Brandon probably also guessed that—no matter how this war would end.

I can't shake off the blame for dragging Xiro into destruction...

From this day forward, the name Christy Brandon will forever be nailed to the pillory of shame.

Thinking of this, Christy Brandon couldn't help but give a self-deprecating and ironic bitter smile.

Everyone knows that this war was clearly planned and instigated by that madman, Prun.

But now, Algernon, who was determined to dominate the entire continent of Xiluo, has come unscathed.

The title of "Chief Culprit of the Ciro" was brazenly bestowed upon Christy Brandon...

But now, Christy Brandon, who had been disheartened, felt relieved – the entire continent of Xiluo had been destroyed, and Xiluo had become a veritable “ruin continent”.

Seventy percent of the Western Romans no longer exist.

What the future holds for the Western Romana is no longer important.

Therefore, Christy Brandon remained completely unfazed by the charges leveled against him.

On the contrary, Christy Brandon felt an unprecedented sense of ease, or rather, relief...

Christy Brandon walked over and turned off the radio, then turned to look at the six people still surrounding him.

"Everyone should have heard what was just said on the broadcast, right?"

Christy Brandon surveyed the crowd with remarkable calm: "As expected, the worst-case scenario has unfolded."

"This armed rebellion launched by the Guards Corps has the support of the entire Lanxi military."

"It seems they've already reached an agreement with the Puren people."

"President............"

Christy Brandon waved his hand to stop everyone from speaking: "Thank you all for staying with me until the very end."

"There's no need for us to keep struggling now."

"Send me out."

"This is the last thing I can do for everyone..."
