Then, Let Them Offer Their Loyalty! Chapter 1432 - 619: Yanyan's Provocative Plan! (7k Seeking M

Compared to the Eighth Sanctuary, which is still establishing its municipal system to command the army and Order, the Seventh Sanctuary had long since shifted from a military governnt to a civilian governnt.

And the power to deploy the military had also been fully integrated into the municipal system.

No matter what happened in the past, this rule was always a red line—it was strictly upheld by the Sanctuary's Elder Council. Yet no one ever imagined that this ti, suddenly, it would be rendered void.

Thus, so disbelieving City Hall mbers dispatched people to check the city's military camps. What they found shocked them: all the city's camps were already under lockdown.

There were soldiers patrolling the periters, while inside the camps, the lights blazed and everyone was on high alert.

Upon seeing this, the City Hall agents thought the army was already prepared to mobilize. They hurried forward, trying to open a line of communication.

Yet to their surprise, the patrolling soldiers, upon learning their purpose, simply drove them away.

The soldiers' exact words were: "The camp has lost valuable items and is under curfew. No one is allowed to enter or leave."

The staff were anxious upon hearing this. They argued: what could possibly be more urgent than suppressing the rebellion? Hadn't the army been cultivated for so long precisely to step forward at such a critical mont and rescue the situation?

Yet, as a response, the patrolling soldier only gave them a cold look, leaving behind one sentence: "Failure is a mutiny. Success is a revolution..."

In that instant, the staff's minds went blank.

In that mont, how could they not understand the army's stance: the military was most likely already fully aware of tonight's upheaval—and had chosen to deliberately stand by.

In so sense, this was itself a collective coup d'état by the armies of every state and city in the Seventh Sanctuary!

Yet what none of the Sanctuary's powers could figure out was this: when did Princess Xi win over those armies?

.....

At the sa ti.

Seventh Sanctuary, Elder Council, Council Hall.

At that mont, this room—the very core of the Seventh Sanctuary's power—was steeped in a heavy and solemn atmosphere. Under the vast do, a crystal chandelier cast a cold glare, illuminating three ranks of generals decked in the uniforms of the Seventh Sanctuary and the Royalist faction, each bearing several gold stars on their shoulders.

They stood ramrod straight, their postures unyielding, their eyes burning with fanaticism and resolve. They were like a pack of starving wolves about to charge into battle, exuding a chilling aura of murderous intent.

At the center of the hall, a massive banner bearing an asterisk was raised high. The red and blue insignias on the flag stood out starkly under the light.

Beneath the flag, Princess Xi, clad in full military regalia and marching boots, was wreathed in black flas as she strode the room, giving a speech,

"We are the patrons of the people! We fight off foreign foes, repel the Evil God! We sweat and bleed for the Sanctuary, for the Human Camp!"

"Yet the elite families oppress us! The civil officials enslave us! They dock our pay, embezzle our compensations! And force us always to the front lines!"

"When we yearn for victory, they demand our surrender!"

"While we sweat and bleed at the front, they revel and carouse at their galas!"

"Even in this apocalyptic age, they still squat upon us, suck the lifeblood from every citizen!"

"The world should not be this way!"

"At least, it mustn't turn this way in our hands!"

"So, we raise the banner of rebellion! We'll purge the elite families, shatter the rotten civil service! We want revenge! We will reclaim what rightfully belongs to us from this world!"

"We may bleed, may fall! But in the end, victory is destined to be ours!"

As Princess Xi's words fell, the vengeful black flas around her erupted violently!

With the influence of those black flas, the generals standing before her were cast into shadow, and in every one of their eyes, a blazing fighting spirit ignited!

"Victory! Victory! Victory!"

The thunderous, iron-blooded chants shook the entire council hall!

Princess Xi swept every person with a face of solemn authority, then said, "I trust my sincerity has been plain to all of you these past two weeks!"

"After purging the Han and Zhao families, I imdiately reinstated everyone's identities and privileges. I shifted all seized resources to our army—ensuring you had full plates and warm clothes!"

"And today, I declare: from this day forth, every soldier and officer will be promoted one rank, and your compensation will be tripled!"

"When this battle is over, you'll receive an extra twenty months' pay!"

At this, Princess Xi strode from left to right in her boots. "Moreover, I promise, when the new Sanctuary's Elder Council is ford, two-thirds of its mbers shall be drawn from our officers! All privileges, all positions will be on par with the current elders—without exception!"

"In all future operations, any wounded soldiers will receive the Sanctuary's highest-grade, free treatnt!"

"For the fallen, the death gratuity will be ten tis the standard—your families' livelihoods will be fully cared for by the Sanctuary!"

"Those who defend our nation and people should enjoy the most bountiful conditions, the highest rewards!"

With Princess Xi's words, the generals' passion blazed to its fullest!

Seeing this, Princess Xi, satisfied, strode back to the center—sweeping every general with a look of command, she declared in ringing tones, "As for our backing—you need not worry!"

"Beyond the full support of Seventh Sanctuary's citizens, we have Speaker Qiu and the Four States Group behind us!"

"Whether specialists or reinforcents, we have it all!"

"All that remains is to topple those parasitic families leeching off the Sanctuary!"

As she reached the end, Princess Xi's gaze deepened; she spoke with majesty, "Victory is destined to be ours!"

"Victory! Victory! Victory!" The deafening roars shook even the skies!
