Chapter 381: Trying to Save the Western French Empire
Niradi went straight to the military camp.
The military camp was eerily quiet at this moment.
A large number of soldiers are looking at the palace from a distance.
Because they already knew that a luxurious banquet was being held in the palace.
And their military pay hasn't been paid for a long time...
Looking at the bustling palace, many soldiers were stunned.
These powerful people are enjoying the life they long for, while they are still struggling to survive at the bottom.
But the most important thing is that even so, anyone can step on them.
These soldiers have given up hope on this country.
Before, they cursed Niradi and thought he was an out-and-out tyrant.
The fact is that Niradi is indeed a tyrant, but Vilarya is even more terrible than Niradi...
If Niradi is just a tyrant, then Vilarya is not only a tyrant, she is also a fool.
In just two months, the Western French Empire was completely defeated.
Niladi at least left enough dignity for the Xifa Empire.
Let the empire still have the strength to fight.
Suddenly, an officer spoke up.
"Brothers, the revolutionary army is at the gates of the city. We must learn to stand in line now. If we stay here blindly, only death will await us.
And it is a meaningless death! Think about our families and children, they are still waiting for our military pay to save their lives!"
The officer's words expressed the thoughts of most people present.
But no one dared to speak, or they did not have the courage to face it.
After all, rebellion and protest are two different things...
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came into the military camp.
The soldiers saw Emperor Niradi, whom they had not seen for a long time!
After a brief moment of shock, the soldiers knelt down in salute.
"Long live your Majesty!"
However, many soldiers were unwilling to do so, but the imperial power was supreme, and they had to submit to the emperor's authority.
At the same time, they wanted to see what Niradi was going to do.
I saw dozens of soldiers following Niladi, each soldier holding a large box in his hands.
This left the Western French Empire soldiers confused.
Then Niradi opened the box in front of everyone.
All I saw was golden coins inside!
Niradi spoke.
“Soldiers, because of my coma, the Xifa Empire has become what it is today. I am guilty and I am not worthy of being the emperor.
So this money is your compensation. At the same time, after this war is over, regardless of the success or failure of the war, I will choose to abdicate to thank the world!"
Niradi's words were like a huge hammer, smashing into the hearts of everyone present.
Many people have buzzing heads.
The soldiers didn't understand why Niradi, who was known for being a stingy person, was so generous this time.
And he would give up the throne which was more important than his life.
The soldiers were confused.
But some smart soldiers had seen through Niradi's thoughts.
Niradi’s trick was very dirty!
Niradi ordered the imperial guards to distribute all the gold coins in their hands.
Each soldier in the million-strong army responsible for guarding the capital of the Western French Empire, Lygodes, was given two gold coins.
Let these soldiers smile.
Of course, these 200 million gold coins of Niradi were almost all taken out from his private treasury.
Because Viralya has not given the money to Niradi yet.
Niradi had to rely on himself, but the 200 million had already emptied out most of his savings.
Of course, Niradi left 50 gold coins to Mary and his son.
Niradi is now penniless, but he has never felt so relaxed.
Because in the past, debt and war pressures have always oppressed Niradi.
Niradi was an ambitious monarch who gained the West French Empire by seizing power.
At the same time, he also hoped that the Western French Empire would prosper in his hands, so that no one would hold him accountable for having obtained the throne by seizing power.
But the more anxious Niradi was, the slower things progressed.
In order to defend the status of the Western French Empire, Niradi had to launch wars again and again.
However, wars again and again did not make the Western French Empire stronger, but instead dragged it into the quagmire of war.
By the time Nerati came to his senses, Bonaparte's uprising had already broken out.
At this time, the Western French Empire was already on the decline...
……
Looking at the soldiers who were smiling happily after receiving the gold coins, Niradi finally showed a relieved smile on his face.
Although he already knew the final result, at least at this moment, Niradi did not lose.
He succeeded in salvaging the last bit of his reputation.
Of course, this reputation is really just a little bit...
After this wave of operations, Niradi successfully stabilized the morale of nearly 60 soldiers.
There were also 40 soldiers who had already seen through everything. They knew that Niradi paid them military pay just to make them defend Lygodes to the death.
However, they are no longer willing to work for the Western French Empire.
Niradi also knew that many people in the army were tired of war.
But at this time, Niradi no longer cared.
He is now going to fight his last battle, even though the outcome will always be failure.
But he just wanted to see where the difference between himself and Bonaparte lay.
Why can Bonaparte, a poor nobleman, alone, use the Territory of the North Wind to fight against the Western French Empire?
Before Da Yan landed.
Bonaparte swept through the Western French Empire army with an absolutely inferior force.
So this is what Niradi wants to prove.
He wanted to prove that he was no worse than Bonaparte.
The city of Lygodes became his last battlefield and swan song.
At the same time, Niradi ordered the city gates to be opened and civilians to be allowed to leave the city.
This move once again restored a little reputation for Niradi.
But the fundamental reason why Niradi did this was that he wanted Mary and his son to leave the city...
In fact, Niradi did not have only this one son, but most of his sons died in accidents...
Only the little prince in front of him survived...
Niladi looked into the palace, where all kinds of hilarious scenes of filial piety were taking place.
The August family will eventually pay the price for their greed.
"Don't worry, no one can escape..."
Niradi murmured.
Then he looked at the civilians leaving the city without saying a word.
Mary, who was mixed in the crowd, holding her son, was walking out of the city with the crowd, at a loss.
Mary, hiding under the cloak, turned around and saw Niradi standing on the city wall.
The two looked at each other, and Niladi smiled confidently.
Mary nodded, tears streaming down her face.
Niradi murmured as he watched Mary leaving.
"I should have known I would not be a tyrant..."
