Chapter 1116 Heading towards the gate

The Imperial Capital, the most majestic city on the continent, has been re-planned and constructed in the past few years. At this time, the size of the Imperial Capital is three times its previous size, with enough space for eight parallel main roads to travel across the Imperial City, with high-rise castles on both sides. It is even more precious. The Emperor's City was built with the wealth of the entire continent. It can be said to be the pearl of the empire and the treasure of the continent.

Everyone knows that it was designed and built by the Dharma Saint and cost 300,000 laborers to build. It is the well-deserved number one city in the mainland.

At this time, inside the castle, the emperor and ministers were all silent.

With the rapid expansion of the empire, there is not much wealth that can be plundered on the mainland, and high military expenditures have become a burden on the empire. The main issue discussed in today's imperial meeting is to determine the future direction of the empire.

Now the empire is a huge war machine, and all walks of life basically operate for the sake of war. Once the war stops, the entire economy of the empire will collapse.

Now more than half of the entire empire's income comes from war dividends. Once the war ends and money cannot come in, all the money will be lost for official maintenance, urban facilities, disaster prevention, road construction, bridge construction, flood prevention and disaster relief all over the country. Even the salaries of officials are gone.

Although there are still taxes, due to years of fighting, agriculture can only be maintained at a level where people can't starve to death. Taxes are already low. If taxes are added, the farmers themselves may starve to death first.

The commercial and handicraft industries in the city were also in a mess. In the past few years, everyone was thinking about the war, and no one was thinking about developing the country. So once the war stops now, all the problems that have accumulated over the years will explode. Therefore, the ministers and nobles are very anxious. Seeing that the mainland has no enemies to fight and no ground to attack, where should the empire go?

Molt, who had already secured the throne and deposed his nephew and sent him to a rich land to become a lord, squinted his eyes and listened to the minister's words and remained silent.

The ministers did not have many opinions. They mainly believed that the war could not be stopped. Now most people were unwilling to stop the war. Even the soldiers wanted to fight to get rich and get promoted. If the war stopped, they would be the first to refuse. If it caused a mutiny in the army, these would be popular in the imperial capital. The uncle is going to be in trouble.

Of course there is another reason, that is, many of the nobles' industries also produce military equipment, and the materials they produce are also sold to the army. If there is no longer a war, who will their equipment be sold to? This is not a loss, so we can’t stop.

Of course, some people think that the war can be stopped. Although a lot of land has been occupied over the years, many places are not actually controlled by the empire. It is time to run some business. There is no benefit in continuing the war. After the armistice, as long as the country is managed with peace of mind, the empire is now vast. With a vast land and abundant resources, the national treasury will be full in just a few years, and there will be no need to fight anymore.

All opinions were given, but the final decision was made by the emperor.

The latest territory of the empire is right in front of the emperor. In just a few years, the empire has fulfilled the long-cherished wish of generations of emperors over the past hundred years, and he has become an immortal emperor. Rubbing his right hand, the old emperor couldn't decide immediately whether it was a war or a truce. Most of the Falmat continent already belonged to the empire. Those that were not destroyed were basically vassal countries that had agreed to attach themselves before the war. There were no more countries every year. If he paid less tribute, the emperor would not attract the attention of the vassal country, and finally his eyes fell on Arnus.

That is the location of the gate, which is the territory located in the southeast of the empire. The gate is located on the slope to the south, with the Arnus Mountains behind it and a plain in front. Historical data records that there used to be many countries in that land, but every time the gate was opened, something unknown would happen. The empire had controlled the place after the extinction of the previous kingdom. It had been hundreds of years. Is it time to open the door again?

"Today, when I retire from the court, I will ask the Pope of Dharma for his opinion. The great and wise Pope will surely guide our empire to a bright future."

Hearing that the emperor wanted to discuss with the Pope, these ministers also showed excited expressions one by one. C.C. is definitely the most beautiful and mysterious sub-god on the continent, especially her wisdom is unmatched. It is said that the reason why the empire successfully occupied the mainland is closely related to the Dharma.

"Long live His Majesty the Emperor."

Apart from the imperial palace, the most majestic building in the imperial capital is undoubtedly the Dharma Church, which mirrors the imperial palace. In the wide square in front of the church, countless devout believers kneel down and worship on time every day, even more diligently than going to work.

And every day, the priests of the Dharma teachings would come out to give lectures and enlighten the people's wisdom.

When the emperor went to see C.C., he could only enter through the side door because the main entrance had been blocked by fanatics.

After listening to the emperor's thoughts, C.C. also thought about it. The gate was originally meant by the gods of this world, so it didn't matter what happened. In the eyes of the gods, dead people were nothing. The important thing was to allow more communication between the two sides of the gate. Since they don't mind, C.C. naturally doesn't have any objections either: "If Your Majesty wants to go to the other side of the door to continue fighting, there will be no problem. There is no need to ask me."

"But what if there is a strong enemy on the other side of the door?" the emperor asked worriedly.

"Can the empire stop the war if there is a strong enemy?" C.C. asked, leaving the emperor speechless. Yes, the important thing is to fight, not to let the empire stop functioning.

"I am really old, and I am hesitating. The empire really cannot stop the war, so I can make up my mind."

"The Dharma Religion will advance and retreat together with the imperial army." The priests of the Dharma Religion can do this completely. In every battle, the Dharma Religion's priests go up and down the battlefield with the imperial soldiers. It is precisely because of this that the Dharma Religion is there. The empire has such prestige.

Since we were going to fight, we had to think about who to send to fight. Several generals naturally jumped out and volunteered, and even the Imperial Central Army couldn't help but want to join the war.

In the eyes of these generals, war is an opportunity to make a fortune, and they will never fall behind.

"I wonder how many troops your Majesty wants to assemble?" "There are many troops in Menzhai. It may be difficult to assemble the army if the situation is unknown in the past. But if the army is too small, it will not be able to occupy enough land."

"Your Majesty, I am willing to lead an army of 600,000 to gather at the Hill of Arnus. If we divide the troops and advance, we will definitely gain more wealth for the empire." It was Mitora, the general of the Empire's Central Army, who was a general with great military exploits.

But he really can open his mouth, and it costs 600,000 to open his mouth, which is 60% of the Central Army, and does the national treasury have that much money to support 600,000 soldiers to fight?

The king thought about it and said: "Mitra, I will give you one hundred thousand troops as a vanguard to station in Arnusqiu, and then General Karasda will lead a backup of fifty thousand, and General Apra will lead a porter of two hundred thousand to escort the grain and grass to Heilongjiang." The fort is used for expenses."

"I wonder how much food and grass your Majesty can prepare for me?"

The emperor didn't know that he had to ask his finance minister: "Ellios, how much more food can be produced?"

"According to past practice, grain and grass provide the number of days for soldiers to go to the battlefield. After the war begins, all grain and grass will be used locally. This battle will require about 70,000 dan. I can call it from the granaries in two nearby cities."

"The city's basic expenses are guaranteed. Other food supplies will be loaned in the name of the Imperial Army and will be returned after one month."

"Your Majesty is wise." The Finance Minister flattered him.

The details were finalized in three strokes, five divisions and two divisions, and the next step was to raise troops.
