The ministers were very interested in the topic of the 'summit', or they had absolute confidence in the kingdom's position on the continent.

"If you want to set up the town of Kwyn, you have to wait at least until after the battle of Iruk is over, right?" said Drahir with obvious sarcasm.

"I think it's best to wait until the kingdom's banner is spread across the Suk Plain, and then the 'summit' may have a bad surprise. Collier stood up and walked over to the king's desk, and after an exaggerated salute, he said in a loud voice.

"By the way..."When Cyrah-Marne heard Cowlir mention the Suker Plains, she couldn't help but ask, "How are our negotiations with the Suke Plains City-State Alliance going?"

"Not good!" said Sir Bipp, who was about to say something, but he suddenly thought of something, so he shook his head helplessly, and did not answer again.

"Knock knock" Pedi tapped lightly on his desk, and as everyone looked at him, he said, "Tell the orc foreign officer that the meeting is still in preparation...", he waved at the ministers, "Let's stop for today's meeting, Sir Marne stays, and the others go out first." ”

The ministers immediately stopped their thoughts, gave a quick salute, and then exited their offices one by one.

Ignoring the departing minister, Pedi flipped through a document written on shoddy papyrus on his desk and whispered, "You guys go out too." Although Pedi did not have the object of this statement, the Secretary General of the Otwood Knight, the Clerk Sir Benjay Alva, the King's Knight Rory Greda and others all knew that it was addressed to them.

As the sound of the door closing echoed through the room, the office suddenly became empty, so empty that the rustle of Pedi flipping through the papers became particularly noticeable.

Sheila-Marne didn't know why she had been left alone, her mind was racing about what had happened to the military recently, but she didn't think of any important information that the king needed to talk to her alone.

Sitting at his desk, Paddy didn't seem to be in a hurry to talk about things, as if he had given up on leaving Sira Marne, and slowly flipped through a document in his hand.

Unbeknownst to Sira Marne, the documents her king was rummaging through were copies of the police station's archives about the Marne family. At the same time, there are two documents next to this unquestioned, one is an archived copy of the MI on the Marne, and the other is the original document on the Marne family from Fort Kavar.

After nearly ten minutes of silence, Pedi looked up at a worried Sirah-Marne and asked, "When was the last time you had correspondence with your father?"

"Huh?" Sirah-Marne looked surprised, and the look on her face could tell that she wondered if she had misheard something.

Pedi didn't ask again, he looked at Sirah-Marne calmly and patiently waited for an answer.

"Three months ago... To be exact... I only wrote to my mother. Sira Marne didn't know why the king was asking this question, but she consciously told her that it was not a good thing, and her silent heart began to beat uncontrollably as she spoke, "My father didn't approve of me joining the army in the first place, so after I joined the expeditionary force during the Orc War, I almost cut off all contact with my family. ”

Pedi nodded and looked at Silah Marne very seriously, and Silah-Marne could only look at each other at the moment. After more than ten seconds, Pedi suddenly asked, "Have you heard the rumors that Crewe City is here recently?"

Siala Marne only felt the pores of her whole body suddenly open at this moment, and her body's instinct felt the killing intent that permeated this room at that moment, "I've heard of some...", she instinctively wanted to retreat, but in the face of those eyes with a faint smile, her feet seemed to be embedded in the bottom plate and couldn't move for half a minute.

"Do you keep in touch with your sister often?" asked Pedy again, not giving Siala Marne any time to think.

"Yes, I write her a letter every week... We've had a good relationship since we were kids. "Sheila Marne has nothing to hide.

"Is Benedict alright?" asked Pedy.

"He's fine, and I've heard that my father is going to give him the whole of Covind when he's three years old. Sira Marne replied cautiously, looking at the smiling young man at her desk, her expression suddenly in a trance... She doesn't remember when she started to be afraid of making eye contact.

"Three years old, isn't it?" said Peddy softly, then lowered his head and flipped through another document next to him, as if talking to himself, "A three-year-old child, can he manage the Covinder Collar well?"

"Sister will help him, and the Marne family has many nobles and knights who owe him allegiance. Sila-Marne thought of the conversation that had just begun, and quickly understood what the king meant, and she wanted to remain silent on the subject, but instinctively defended her own family.

"That's right!" said Petdy with a very easy-going smile, "Even I need the help of the minister... But can a three-year-old be able to tell who's right and who's wrong?"

Silah-Marne didn't answer this time, she lowered her head and thought silently about why the king had suddenly had such a conversation with herself today.

Pedi didn't care about the answer to this question, he looked at Sira Marne and continued to ask, "Benedict has a direct line of Reagan bloodline, and is my own nephew... I want to take him to Kawalburg for a few years, will your father say yes?"

"Your Majesty—" Sila-Marne could no longer maintain her calm countenance.

"You can't afford to be silent on this issue any longer. Pedi still had a smile on her face.

"Your Majesty!" thought quickly in Sirah-Marne's mind, knowing full well that it was the king who had chosen her!

'Choice?' Ciara Marne's heart was beating rapidly subconsciously at the thought of the word, and she only felt a feeling of suffocation rushing over her, so she had to use the doctor's method to remind her and start using meditation methods to maintain her peace of mind.

Pedi looked at the painful Silah-Marn in front of her, and subconsciously wanted to get up to help her, but after thinking about it, she remained silent. He didn't mean to persecute the poor lady, but sometimes he didn't do what he wanted.

He needs to be more accountable to the whole king!

"My sister's children are the only heirs to my father, but not the only heirs to the Marne family, so... Unless he had to, his father would not let him take a step out of the territory before he had no ability to protect himself. Sirah Marne's voice was low and hoarse as if something was stuck, "Your request will be rejected by your father. ”

Still smiling, Peddy took a cigar from the humidor and threw it to Sheila Marne after Sheila Marne had said these words, "Don't you think Fort Caval is safer than Fort Cowind? With my support, who would dare to stop my nephew from inheriting the Covinde Domain?"

"I'll write to my father and tell me what you mean!" said Siala Marne.

"I'm sure Viscount Zerorodin will make the right choice. Pei Di smiled and pushed aside the three documents he had just flipped through, took out a document submitted by the military department, and changed the subject, "The procurement of new weapons from the Seongnam Laboratory is going well, right?"

"It went well. Hearing this, Sira Marne's nervousness eased slightly, she looked up at the paper on the King's desk, sat down on the chair opposite the desk at the King's motion, and said, "A very strange weapon, in Miss Nema's words... It can make a farmer take out a regular knight's weapon!"

"How long will it take to equip two corps and complete basic training?" asked Peidi again.

"If there are enough low-level officers, it can be done in three months. Silah-Marne thought for a moment and replied, "But... Your Majesty, because of the almost non-stop war in the kingdom for the past three years, the reserve soldiers trained by the territory in the past ten years and the military protection families of Crewe City have been recruited... If you want to continue conscription, you can only target ordinary citizens or peasants. ”

Pedi nodded silently and fell into thought, the recruitment of labor other than military guards and reserve soldiers would undoubtedly increase the consumption of war indefinitely, and cause some turmoil in the originally stable and developing kingdom. Coupled with the ongoing government reform, it is likely that the very foundation of the kingdom will be shaken directly.

"The number of soldiers registered with the military department should be the limit of 200,000 that was discussed at the meeting before, right?" asked Pedi after thinking for a while.

"Yes, this is also the limit of the soldiers that the kingdom can afford at the moment, and of course I mean without affecting the normal development of the kingdom. Silah-Marne nodded, "There are a total of ten regular corps, ten mixed corps, and the rest are garrison corps from all over the country. ”

"So be it... From these 200,000 people, 10,000 elites were drawn to form two musket regiments. Pedi put forward his own plan, "In addition, some of the high-achieving cadets from the Knight Academy in Seka Town will be selected to serve as the low-level officers of the two corps. ”

"A brilliant idea. Sheila Marne first admired, and then reminded: "Although this can save most of the training time, it will indirectly weaken the combat capability of other regiments." ”

"It's okay!" Pedi didn't care, "Also, the Royal Guards and Knights of Kaval Fort will also be equipped with muskets, and those selected will be placed in the castle's training grounds, where they will be trained by the most professional instructors." ”

Sira Marne's eyes lit up, "I'm sure the soldiers will cheer for this good news." ”

Pedi smiled undeniably when she heard Sira Marne's words, closed the open papers on her desk, and said, "According to the idea just now, just write a detailed report and submit it." ”

Sira Marne immediately stood up when she heard this, "You can get this report tomorrow... If nothing happens, I'll leave first. ”

Pedi waved his hand lightly, picked up the cigar from the ashtray and took a puff before leaning back on the couch.

The moment the "click" door closed, the space in the door began to twist...

"Finished talking to your ex-fiancée?" Before Erin Phil could appear, the voice reached Pedy's ears.

"You said it all, it's an ex-fiancée. Pedi rested his feet on his desk and stared at the ceiling with a cigar in a nonchalant manner, glancing only lightly at his wife's figure.

"I can't match the ability of Siala Marne. Erin Phil slowly approached Pedy, with a hint of jealousy in her words.

"Sir Marne is the Minister of War of the Kingdom, and you are the Queen of the Kingdom, and she is your courtier... As a monarch, you should not be jealous of the talents of a minister of the kingdom. Pedi spoke lightly, but with a clear admonition.

"Are you defending her?" said Erinphier, leaning back in her office chair and clasping her husband's jaw tightly.

"Do you think I'm defending her?" Peddy reached out and scratched his wife's waist gently, and Erin Fil immediately put down her hands that were clasping Pety's jaw and chuckled.

"Didn't you say you weren't allowed to tickle before?" Irene Fil deliberately grimaced, "As a king, you actually broke your oath. ”

"Didn't you say you wouldn't tie my neck anymore?" Pedi chuckled under his breath, "As the queen, you actually took the lead in breaking the agreement. ”

Erin Field, who was dodging, leaned forward again while Pedi was speaking, and held Pedy's face to look at herself, and said, "Under the gaze of the gods, you tell me... Have you ever thought about making Sira Marne your lover?"

"You're insulting your husband, and you're insulting Sira Marne!" Peddy and Eilefeel looked at each other, "Sheila Marne has given everything for the kingdom, you shouldn't treat her that way." ”

After listening to her husband's words, Eileen Fil looked at each other very seriously for more than ten seconds, and then said softly with a charming smile: "Although you don't have the courage to admit it, I believe you won't do that... You're right, Sheila Marne is the kingdom's military minister, and she shouldn't be ridiculed. ”

Pedi moved his arms to lean more comfortably against the office, lowered his feet and asked, "Is there any news from your father?"

"Didn't you ask me last night if the Mage Tower would like to work with us on a new type of basic circle?" said with a wink, "The Council has agreed to our terms, and they will soon send the two Councillor's experimental teams to come. ”

"So happy?" said Pedy.

"Didn't you say it's a win-win!" Erin Phier glanced at the papers piled up on her desk at any time, and said, "As long as people who are not too stupid can see clearly, the future development direction of magic is no longer a complex compound magic circle, let alone a forbidden spell that destroys the world... The magic device inspired the mages, and the appearance of gunpowder made the truly discerning mages feel the crisis... You're not the only smart person in this world!"

"Haha!" Pedi laughed, his smile laughing as if he was laughing at himself and rejoicing at the good news.

"Now it's only the kingdom of Misha, but I don't think those werewolves will respond to you anytime soon. Erin Phil smiled and said, "I suggest you show them the latest results from our lab... After the emergence of the Kingdom of Misha, I studied their social formation, and they were most highly valued by the researchers in charge of the magic device, who were full of curiosity about any new technology. ”

"It was their intellectual curiosity that allowed them to defeat the huge fleet of the Hoko Islands after two hundred years. Pedi said this with a little seriousness and seriousness.

"Perhaps. Erin Phier didn't seem to be talking about it, she said as she gently turned her fingers to outline the circle, "My guests are still waiting for me in the tea room, go first... See you later. ”
