After hearing this, Yan Chong nodded and said that he would seriously consider joining the Revolutionary Army.
Without an investigation, there would be no right to speak. Although he had seen the cavalry of the Empire fight in the small town without regard for the lives of the people, the huge Empire could not be generalized.
Besides, he was a Black Iron rookie and a person from another world. It was best not to get involved in this mess. Otherwise, it would be miserable when he transmigrated here in the future and he would be wanted everywhere. However, he could not reject her outright. After all, it would be much safer to have a Grade A beside him.
"Although I'm not a member of the Empire, the Empire is currently facing internal and external problems. Is it really a good time to start a revolution now?" Yan Chong asked tactfully.
"I'm here today to investigate the Orc Alliance's battle plan and get rid of the Orcs in the town." Loli said confidently, "Our Revolutionary Army's plan is to recover the lost land of the Empire and rescue the people from the brutal orcs. Then, we will use this as a foundation to overthrow the entire decaying Empire and establish a regime where the people are truly in charge!"
"This—I feel like there's something wrong with your plan." Although Yan Chong didn't want to embarrass the big boss, he still couldn't help but mention the loophole in the plan that Loli mentioned. Maybe it's because the other party was a lively girl and didn't have a strong aura.
"First of all, it may be easy for you to recover the cities that the Orcs have occupied, but they have the entire Orc Alliance behind them, including some Legendary powerhouses.
"Secondly, when you use these towns as your base, you will have to face enemies from both sides. The Empire and the Orcs are like two strong adults. Before they fight, they don't mind joining forces to kick a kid out of the game."
Lastly, there was one more thing that Yan Chong did not specify. Although he had transmigrated from the 21st century, he had learned history, and he clearly knew the rules of changing social systems, but that could not be used simply.
Because Earth was a world where individuals were not extraordinary, so feudal empires and slavery would definitely become the dust of history. It was no longer possible for the monarchs to trick the people into believing in the will of the Gods and the Heavens to rule.
However, it was different in the Endless Mainland. Legendary powerhouses were comparable to tens of thousands of enemies, and deities were real existences as well. The regime and wealth were firmly in the hands of the rulers. The most critical factor determining a regime's stability is its own level of military force.
Decadence and degeneration were merely the catalysts of war. As for the ordinary citizens, they were nothing but ants in the eyes of those powerful beings.
However, Loli smiled indifferently. "Although I said that I'm the leader of the Revolutionary Army, I didn't say that I'm the only leader." She blinked her eyes mischievously. "Our Revolutionary Army also has many Legendary powerhouses! Our backer is also beyond your imagination.
"Our Revolutionary Army is not based on strength, but more on brains. As long as you are outstanding enough, the Black Iron rank can also be entrusted with important tasks. Also, the Empire's situation is more chaotic than you think. They don't have the time to care about our Revolutionary Army at all, so the strong enemy we need to deal with now is only the Orc Alliance.
"Although the Orc Alliance is huge, its energy is limited. Now is the best time for our Revolutionary Army to rise!"
Yan Chong was stunned. He didn't expect Loli to have considered everything. But then again, the other party is the leader of the Revolutionary Army, not a fool. It was better to speak less.
At the same time.
The Royal Capital of the Maka Empire.
This was an extremely grand city. The area within a hundred kilometers was surrounded by forty to fifty meters tall and twenty meters wide sturdy walls.
It was said that when the city wall was built, the Empire sent thousands of Silver rank and above Elementalists. Under the leadership of more than ten Legendary Elementalists, they used the [Mud to Stone] spell and took turns to work for almost half a year before they completed the main project.
The special soil had been added with very precious Thorium Powder, Adamantine Powder, and Cloud Pattern Black Iron as the foundation, making the final city wall as strong as Epic grade materials.
Over the past thousand years, there had been several S-class earthquakes, but none of them had destroyed it. Without reaching Gold rank, it would be very difficult to break through the city walls.
As the political and economic center of the Maka Empire, the Royal Capital was naturally bustling with activity. The unrest at the border did not seem to affect this place. After all, the Empire was simply too vast. The high and mighty aristocrats were already used to living a luxurious life and would not pay attention to current affairs and turn their attention on the backward borders.
Even the commoners at the outer ring of the Royal Capital could not help but raise their heads as they walked, faintly exuding a sense of superiority.
There was a ballad that circulated throughout the continent called "I Am Slumming in the Royal Capital". It described what a wandering poet who was begging in the Royal Capital saw and felt in his daily life. The lines revealed the unique arrogance of the Royal Capital people.
However, they had no idea that the Royal Capital today would undergo a huge change.
In a luxurious mansion in the middle of the Royal Capital.
Sophia Maka was dressed in a handmade exquisite swordsman's gown. Her long golden hair was tied into a neat ponytail, and she wore a long sword at her waist. The scabbard was embedded with luxurious gems. The gown perfectly accentuated her curvaceous figure. Coupled with her stunningly beautiful face, it highlighted her extraordinary bearing.
However, her gentle green-gold eyes were filled with murderous intent.
At this moment, the hall was already filled with fully armed soldiers. All of them wore fine armor mixed with mithril and carried standard longswords that glittered coldly. In an inconspicuous corner, there were many warriors wearing black tights, masks, and daggers.
"Move out!" Sophia's delicate lips parted slightly as she coldly spat out two words.
With that, the soldiers in the hall dispersed in an orderly fashion. Before long, the hall was empty except for Sophia.
"My stupid and stubborn big brother, today, you and those old dogs beside you will obediently go to hell.
"My dear second brother, don't be anxious. In a few days, I will send you to accompany Big Brother. The most important thing for brothers is to be together."
After that, Sophia's figure blurred and disappeared into the hall.
Town of Dawn.
A dark cloud suddenly appeared in the clear sky.
"It's going to rain." Yan Chong could feel the moisture in the air. He walked to the window and looked at the sky outside.
"So, have you decided to join our Revolutionary Army?" Loli asked. "If you are unwilling to join, then we will part here. But the Revolutionary Army really needs a young man with a heart of justice like you!"
Yan Chong looked at Loli's expectant gaze, pondered for a moment, and nodded heavily. "I'll join!"
If they separated, how could he openly gain XP from the big shots and duplicate all kinds of skills?
