The Royal Capital, the Palace of Jinbao, the Imperial Conference Hall.
Becky was sitting in the main seat, coughing from time to time, looking tired and sallow, obviously unhealthy, occasionally reaching out and rubbing his chest, and his heart was not very comfortable.
Since Bill's defection, Becky has been furious, but the change of clan independence has left him no time to recuperate. These days, he can only force his spirit to issue orders and deal with the situation, and his body has not fully recovered.
The other imperial ministers sat upright in their respective positions, among which the seat of the privy minister was vacant, which was originally Roman's position.
Becky glanced at the only empty seat and snorted coldly:
"Have you found out Roman's whereabouts?"
"There is no news yet." A minister cautiously.
"Once you find it, tell me immediately, and I will kill him!"
Becky gritted her teeth.
Bill got wet a few months ago. Becky believed that there must be an inner ghost to help, so he organized a large number of people to find clues. Among them, Roman and Bill were very close, and he checked many times, but he never found it.
But it is not nothing, and it can even be said to be "a lot of harvest". Several important officials were found out by the palace guards, which shifted the focus of the guards' search. Follow these people to follow the clues, and the results are shocking. Becky found that a large number of important people have fornicated with the outside world and accepted tribal donations. .

As a result, the search intensified, and more and more people were imprisoned, causing the court to panic.
However, on a certain day, Roman suddenly disappeared, and he even became rich, swept away a lot of royal books, and stole the royal family's private money.
In addition, a bunch of important people in the court gathered in the prison, and all of them were assassinated on that day. It was obviously inseparable from him, and it even made people wonder if the "problems" of these people were deliberately framed by Roman.
And on that day, the golden castle ignited a fire, burning and burning many people, and even several members of the royal family were burned to death. Roman also has a huge suspicion.
It was only then that the bottom line was basically revealed, and it was known that Bill's escape was mostly caused by Roman.
Becky hated Roman so much that he believed that Roman was the culprit that made his plan completely bankrupt.
If it wasn't for Roman hooking up with Bill, how could Bill have a chance to get wet, he would have been in his hands long ago!
He had already decided that he would never let Roman Reigns go. As long as he found this person, he would send royal warriors to hunt him down to the death.
At this time, the Minister of Military Affairs interrupted Becky's thoughts and said solemnly:
"Your Majesty, the situation is very unfavorable now. Those rebellious tribes are watching and helping each other, and they have a new type of alien blood medicine. What should we do?"
From the perspective of the empire, these so-called independent tribes are all rebels, and the royal family also claims this to the outside world.
Becky calmed down and looked at the Terra Empire sand table on the table with anxiety.
The towns currently controlled by the Terra Empire are marked with blue chess pieces, while the territories of the various tribes are colorful. The current situation in the sand table is that the blue square is surrounded by divisions, and the left and right parts of the site are scattered like spots.
The territorial scope that the royal family can currently command is the surrounding core area extending from the royal capital as the center, which consists of a dozen towns, while the cities far from the capital are separated by the territories of each tribe, cutting off most of them from the palace. Contact, it is difficult to direct command and mobilization, the situation is very unfavorable.
There is only one problem facing Becky now.
Is it to fight regardless of the loss, or to compromise for the time being
"What are your thoughts?" Becky asked in a deep voice.
Everyone was speechless.
After a while, the minister opened his mouth to break the silence and tentatively said: "Your Majesty, although our military strength is superior, we cannot fight all tribes at the same time. I think it is better to be conservative..."
Becky pressed the palm of the table with blue veins and did not speak.
Seeing this, the Minister of Military Affairs couldn't help but say: "Our chances of winning are too low. Once we fight, we will be attacked in all directions and cannot be resisted at all. I don't recommend starting a war."
"Yes, I also think the risk of war is too great..."
Someone picked the lead, and many ministers at the Imperial Council expressed their opinions, but no one was in favor of war.
Not being able to win is one aspect. What they are more afraid of is that the capital will be captured by others, and there will be no such a life of power in the future. As for whether the independence of each tribe is orthodox and legal, they don't care that much.
Becky said coldly: "How can we win?"
Everyone looked at each other.
In the end, it was the Minister of Military Affairs who pondered and said, "If you want to win, you can only do it slowly. You must think long-term, grow yourself, and alienate the various tribes, so that their alliance breaks down."
"Tell me carefully." Becky looked at him.
The Minister of Military Affairs cleared his throat and said slowly:
"Our predicament now is nothing more than that there are too many enemies. Watching the alliance, we are surrounded by enemies, and we cannot fight against everyone at the same time... So only by changing this can we solve all the tribes.
Now the alliance of various tribes is stable because of our common enemy. In order to guard against the empire, each tribe will try to strengthen itself. But if we compromise and seek peace, as time goes by, as each tribe expands and develops, sooner or later there will be friction, which will give us a chance to unite some of them and defeat them individually…”
"Will it be unrealistic? Each tribe knows that the empire is strong, and even if there is friction with each other, they will not turn their faces, creating opportunities for us?" A minister asked curiously.
"This is an uncertain thing, I'm just offering a possible idea." The Minister of Military Affairs was dissatisfied with the minister who looked at the demolishing, and scolded the pig teammates.
Therefore, the long-term route can only be developed... Becky's expression is heavy.
If Bill is still there, the royal family will monopolize the new type of alien blood medicine and be able to continuously expand the army. It is not a problem to fight for development. But now this plan has gone bankrupt, and the formula that everyone has is no longer precious.
The most troublesome thing is that Bill seems to be doing things for the tribe. Who knows if he will create amazing potions in the future, but it will become a monopoly of the tribe, and the royal family can't get involved.
However, after 40 years of development, the empire still accumulated a lot of knowledge of various tribes, and it still has huge advantages in technology, such as the miraculous weapon technology, which is still a card in the hands of the royal family.
So in the development of this piece, the result is really hard to say, Becky has no confidence.
"I just want to get rid of these rebels quickly!" Becky said angrily.
"This..." The Minister of Military Affairs struggled for a while before saying helplessly: "If we can mobilize all the imperial hunters, we will not be afraid to fight all the tribes at the same time."
Hearing this, many ministers nodded in agreement.
At present, the biggest advantage of the empire is that it has nearly 2,000 imperial hunters under his command. If they are thrown into the battlefield, they can completely destroy all tribes.
Becky's face turned ugly.
He had already considered this method, but the imperial hunters did not listen to all orders.
In the pursuit of Bill, the imperial hunters had already voiced their opposition. Although they were dispatched, they were just yang and yin.
Wanting to put the imperial hunters into the war to slaughter the army of ordinary people, it is even more difficult to command. Becky has already tentatively ordered it, and found that there are very few responders among the imperial hunters.
Most imperial hunters have a clear attitude - it's okay to fight alien beasts, but please be smart in civil war.
This situation made Becky quite annoyed.
In his opinion, it is ungrateful for imperial hunters to enjoy the benefits of the empire, but not willing to fight for the empire!
But Becky is helpless, even if the imperial hunters don't listen to the tune, but it is the team of the empire, and they can't easily give up this powerful force.
However, Becky had a new idea.
He looked around and said solemnly: "I decided to select some people who are truly loyal to the royal family from the imperial hunters to form a new army."
The Minister of Military Affairs was surprised: "Isn't there already a royal guard?"
"Not enough, there are some hunters who are willing to obey more orders, but they won't really invest in the royal family. They still want to be hunters. I want to screen this group of people from the imperial hunters to form a more direct line of alien blood. Army, give them better treatment."
Becky said solemnly:
"They are usually hunters, mainly hunting alien beasts, but occasionally perform other tasks for the royal family, including spying on the military, assassinating enemy leaders, killing enemy alien blood warriors, etc."
Everyone understands that this is to optimize the team structure and separate the hunters who listen to the command. Since then, the imperial hunter team has become a peripheral source of soldiers, and this team is the advanced lineage.
The Minister of Military Affairs was curious: "What is the name of this unit?"
Becky already had a draft and blurted out:
"Royal Demon Hunting Army!"
Everyone looked at each other.
The more Becky said, the more excited he said, "According to my calculations, among the imperial hunters, there are probably two or three hundred royal demon hunters who can be selected. This is a hunter troop that can be put into the battlefield!"
The Minister of Military Affairs hesitated and asked, "Then who will command this team?"
Becky said solemnly: "Kreber is trustworthy, I have talked to him, he will serve as the leader of the royal family's demon hunting army!"
"Uh... Then who will replace him and lead the imperial hunters?"
"Jace! He was the successor, let him take office early."
Becky didn't hesitate.
Seeing that the king had already made a decision, many ministers had nothing to say, so they nodded in agreement.
"When the opportunity is ripe, we will try to fight, and these rebels cannot be left alone."
Becky's tone was cold, and she made a decision on the spot.
Failing to persuade the king to admit and compromise, many ministers could only sigh in their hearts.
…
The royal capital, the imperial hunter station.
"Have you heard that the empire is going to form a new hunter army, which seems to be called the Demon Hunter Army."
"It seems that Boss Crabbe is going to be the commander."
"I don't know what to do to select people from among us."
In the dining hall, the hunters gathered together in twos and threes, chatting about the latest rumors.
At one of the tables, Kreber and Jason sat opposite each other, and the hunters around them frequently looked over, their eyes mainly focused on Jason, the appointed commander.
Crabbe looked at Jason and whispered:
"Jess, the king has other arrangements for me. I am going to command another unit. It is said that it may go to the battlefield. The imperial hunter will give it to you."
He was getting old and thinking about retiring, but now that something like this happened, he didn't mind responding to the king's orders and using his residual heat.
Jason didn't change his face, nodded calmly: "Okay."
Crabbe was a little worried, and continued to instruct: "After I leave, you must report to the king as the commander of the imperial hunter, so that he can always know the situation of the imperial hunter. Don't forget it."
"Oh."
"Also, this duty is not power. Don't treat imperial hunters as your subordinates, and treat everyone as equal colleagues."
"Row."
"...Are you really listening attentively, can you not use such a perfunctory answer?"
"Can."
Crabbe supported his forehead and said helplessly: "In short, the king named you to take over my position ahead of time. Don't disappoint the king's trust in you."
"Don't worry." Jason said blankly, "I'm from the empire."
