    "Against war!"

    "Pray for peace!"

    "Against food requisition!"

    "Against conscription!"

    In the bitterly cold weather, a large number of people gathered on the streets of the desert empire Xijing.

    These people were covered in plain onyx, and they shouted angrily, their voices resounding through the sky, opposing the empire's new round of conscription to prepare for war.

    The Desert Empire's invasion of the Far East Empire suffered a disastrous defeat. The New Army, the First Frontier Army, and the White Feather Army were all wiped out.

    A large number of desert empire youths were killed in foreign lands, so that every town in the desert empire was filled with an atmosphere of grief.

    The army of the Far East Empire counterattacked the desert empire with the power of a great victory, swept across the Red Sand Province in a short period of time, and pointed directly at the Wild Wolf Valley.

    Facing the rapidly deteriorating situation, Ashinayun, the emperor of the desert empire, was not reconciled to failure, and was not reconciled to the demise of the desert empire.

    On the one hand, he quickly sent envoys to his allies, begging for their assistance.

    At the same time, Ashinayun urgently transferred the only remaining second border army to the Wolf Valley defense line, trying to stop the Far East Army from continuing to attack.

    The Second Frontier Army is the only remaining elite force in the Desert Empire, and they guard the front line alone.

    For this reason, Ashinayun, the emperor of the desert empire, issued a new national call-up order in the desert empire.

    Not only all men need to be included in the army, strong women will also be formed into a female army battalion to go to the battlefield to defend against the enemy.

    The people of the desert empire are still immersed in the pain of losing their loved ones, and now they are being forcibly conscripted to the battlefield, so they are naturally full of anger.

    Not only the people of Xijing, the desert empire, took to the streets to oppose military expansion and war, but vigorous protests broke out in various cities and towns.

    The army of the Far East Empire is brave and good at fighting. They have already lost their loved ones, and they don't want to go to the battlefield to die.

    "These untouchables who take to the streets deserve to die!"

    In a luxurious carriage facing the street, a man wearing the robes of a senior official of the Desert Empire saw through the curtains the crowd of protesters outside, his eyes full of murderous intent.

    "The empire is in troubled times. They don't want to stand with the empire to defend against foreign enemies. Instead, they force the empire to compromise and seek peace. They are not worthy of being a citizen of the empire!" the official said angrily.

    "I don't think this is a simple matter. These untouchables took to the streets to protest on a large scale. I suspect that someone is instigating it behind the scenes." Another old man with a hooked nose said with a gloomy expression.

    The official was also taken aback, and immediately said seriously: "My lord, do you mean that someone in the imperial court is secretly instigating?"

    "I don't know if it's from the imperial court, but when the incident has reached such a level, no one has stepped up to take care of it, and no one has secretly supported it. Don't you think it's strange?" the old man snorted coldly.

    "Could it be that there are still remnants of the abolished prince that have not been cleaned up?" the official guessed.

    "Whether there is or not, I think it is very necessary for the empire to carry out another purge, otherwise we will be in chaos before the Far Easterners come over." The old man said with a serious face.

    The two talked for a while in the carriage. After the protesting people left this section of the street, the carriage was able to pass and went straight to the palace.

    In the solemn and solemn palace of the Desert Empire, more than a dozen top officials of the Desert Empire are all listed.

    Ashinayun, the emperor of the desert empire, was no longer as energetic as before, and looked a little haggard like an eggplant beaten by frost.

    They stole chickens and lost nothing. The Far Eastern Army is now aggressively counterattacking. The Hongsha Province they have operated for many years has been lost.

    He originally wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of the Far East Empire being held back by all parties to expand the territory of their desert empire.

    However, their skills are not as good as others. Instead of taking advantage of it this time, they made themselves very passive.

    "Where is the Far Eastern Army now?"

    Ashinayun cast his eyes on Wu Guli, Minister of Military Affairs, and asked in a tired voice.

    "Reporting to Your Majesty, the Sixth Field Army of the Far Eastern Army has arrived at the front line of the Wild Wolf Valley. However, the Far Eastern Army has stopped marching due to the recent blizzards in the Wild Wolf Valley." Wu Guli, Minister of Military Affairs, replied.

    Wu Guli's words made all the ministers heave a sigh of relief, at least the Far East Army will not be able to fight in a short time.

    "Admonish the second army on the border, be sure to hold the line of defense, they are the last of the empireOnce the line of defense is lost, their wives and children will also become slaves of the enemy.  "Emperor Ashina Yun reminded.

    "Wei Chen has sent a war supervisor to the front line of Wild Wolf Valley to ensure the stability of the front line and the safety of the empire." Wu Guli assured.

    Ashinayun nodded: "Your military department must also ensure the food and fodder supplies of the second border army, and the military salary will be paid three months in advance to encourage the frontline soldiers."

    "The minister obeys the order."

    Now that the Desert Empire is pinning all its hopes on the Second Border Army on the front line, it also attaches great importance to this.

    "How is the recruiting of the new army going?"

    After inquiring about the defense status of the front line, Ashinayun asked about the recruitment of recruits.

    With the destruction of the main army of the Desert Empire, in order to be able to block the attack of the Far East Army, they must mobilize the whole country.

    However, it has already been mobilized once, and the desert empire has little potential left, and the military department is also difficult for a smart woman to cook without rice.

    "Your Majesty, according to your will, the soldiers stationed in various towns have been reorganized into field troops, with a strength of about 80,000, and they are now on their way to the Wild Wolf Valley."

    "The recruits currently recruit 13,000 male soldiers and 25,000 female soldiers"

    "Why is this so little?"

    Before Wu Guli, Minister of Military Affairs, finished speaking, Ashinayun couldn't help interrupting him.

    "My minister is incompetent, please forgive me." Military Affairs Minister Wu Guli hastily knelt down on the ground to plead guilty.

    Wu Guli, the Minister of Military Affairs, can be said to be under a lot of pressure now, not only in charge of the front line, but also in the recruitment of recruits.

    Moreover, he used to be one of the staunch figures of the main combat faction. With the defeat on the front line and the death of a large number of soldiers, he became the object of hatred of countless people.

    The people felt that it was the fault of him, the Minister of Military Affairs, that their relatives were killed in battle.

    For this reason, Wu Guli not only has to face the heavy tasks of the court, he has also been assassinated several times in the past few days, and he is exhausted.

    Seeing that Emperor Ashinayun was unhappy, Wu Guli also took the opportunity to plead guilty and get rid of the hot potato position of Minister of Military Affairs.

    "Tell me, what's going on?"

    Seeing Wu Guli knelt down to plead guilty, but Emperor Ashinayun did not concede the crime, which frustrated Wu Guli's wish to be removed from the Minister of Military Affairs.

    "Your Majesty, a large number of young people have been recruited into the army in the previous large-scale conscription. Now there are not many young and middle-aged people in various towns, so the number of recruits is scarce."

    "Even if there are not many young and middle-aged people, it's not the only one, right?" Ashinayun said suspiciously.

    Wu Guli added: "In addition to this reason, there is also the defeat on the front line, and a large number of soldiers died in battle, which caused the people of the empire to feel very sad. They are now clamoring not to fight, not to levy food, not to conscript soldiers.  Do your best, but it is difficult to recruit enough soldiers"

    "Your Majesty, the streets outside Xijing are now full of protesting crowds, and my minister is also said to be a main fighter. The mansion has been attacked in the past few days, and I have been assassinated several times." Wu Guli was full of grievances.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
