Chapter 0508: The King's Intent

Facts speak louder than words, and it was this that King Ferdinand seized on this to make his request for a personal conquest.

As a loyal follower of the king, the commander of the Eastern Military Region, Count Eliot, immediately echoed his words: "Your Majesty is right, now that the demonic plague is intensifying, and the people of the kingdom are suffering from the poison of the devil, we must fight back. ”

"Now they dare to openly enter the heart of the kingdom and slaughter a great city with a population of more than 100,000, and if we continue to be weak, they will dare to attack Arthur's city. ”

Leander had come to the court meeting on behalf of the southern garrison, he had seen the horror of the demons, and he originally wanted to stop the king's absurd behavior, but after receiving the hint from Lei Ye shaking his head, he closed his mouth very knowingly.

The king personally conquered and pacified the evil plague in the kingdom, which seemed to have no political element in it, and after the courtiers discussed, they also maintained a neutral attitude.

Neither for nor against.

Seeing this, the corners of Ferdinand's mouth hooked up an inexplicable arc, and he said again: "If everyone doesn't object, then this matter is settled." ”

Everyone looked at each other, still silent.

King Ferdinand nodded lightly: "Well, the date of the pro-conquest is set in half a month, and I will hold a grand military parade at that time." ”

Hearing this, Count Gauld, commander of the Western Military Region, spoke again: "Has Your Majesty made arrangements in advance, how many troops need to be mobilized to participate in the battle, where to transfer troops, and where are the targets of the attack?"

These are all things that need to be prepared for realization, and it is impossible to decide on a later date.

King Ferdinand frowned slightly when he heard this, and felt that this fellow who always contradicted him was very hateful.

However, he could not fail to answer these questions, so he said patiently: "I am ready to transfer 100,000 troops. ”

"The Northern Military Region will send 30,000 troops, the Western Military Region will send 20,000 troops, the Southern Military Region will send 10,000 troops, the Eastern Military Region will send 10,000 troops, and the Central Military Region will send 30,000 troops, and as for the offensive target, ......"

At this point, he paused for a moment, and then said in an unquestioning tone: "Just choose Kale County, which can help Count Leander to exterminate the bandits in the territory." ”

The Central Military Region was the King's descendant, with a total of 50,000 men, stationed around Arthur in peacetime.

Now the other party is divided by nearly half

The troops went to quell the demonic disaster, obviously making a determination to destroy the demon, or the Creighton family.

Hearing this, the hearts of Baron Layton and Earl Mackinto beat wildly a few times, and the entire council hall instantly fell silent.

After a long time, everyone reacted, and their hearts were suddenly full of horror.

The news of the king's discord with the Creighton family has long reached the ears of these aristocratic politicians, and there are even rumors that the Creighton family wants to support their own army, if these news are true......

So did the king send his troops to Kale County to deal with the demons, or to deal with the Creighton family?

Count Fowler, Chief of the General Staff of the Northern Military District, immediately stood up and retorted: "Your Majesty, no!"

He spoke very quickly, looking very anxious: "The total garrison in the north is only 100,000 people, not only to maintain local stability, but also to guard against the Kingdom of Helsinki in the north, if 30,000 are transferred, wouldn't it open the door to the enemy country?"

"If the other side sends troops to come and attack, I am afraid that the tragic battle of Searle will be staged again. ”

"And the demon disaster in Hailan Province is equally serious, if you take all the people away, wouldn't you abandon the people of the four counties of Hailan Province and ignore it......"

The righteousness of what the other party said was awe-inspiring, revealing the appearance of caring for the people of the world, while Renard and Ferdinand scolded each other shamelessly in their hearts at the same time.

The capital of the Kingdom of Helsinki has long been breached, the direct members of the royal family have been slaughtered by demons, and the royal family is already in a state of anarchy for the throne.

When the other party said this, he actually didn't want to lose his military strength and help others clean up the portal.

Of course, there is a more important reason, that is, the Northern Military District is nominally the King's army, but in fact it is the private army of Prince White and the Cronin family.

King Ferdinand knew this, so he had to transfer 30,000 men from the Northern Military Region to weaken the opponent's strength.

However, the Earl of Fowler was obviously not stupid, and when he knew the king's intentions, he swore to die.

King Ferdinand hated it so much that he couldn't mobilize the army he spent money on, and no one could tolerate it.

There were times when he wanted to cut off the army's supply, but he knew he couldn't

, otherwise it is self-digging.

Not to mention that cutting off the supply will cause the army to mutiny, even the Cronin family is happy to see it, and when they take over the supply of the army, they will be able to turn this army into their own family's private army.

Therefore, Ferdinand knew that he was making wedding dresses for others, but he still had to grit his teeth and endure and continue to support the 100,000 sergeants of the Northern Military Region.

In doing so, the other party will at least recognize himself as the nominal master, and will not rebel against himself.

However, this is not a long-term solution after all, and he can only sleep peacefully if he has all the troops in his hands.

Therefore, Count Fowler obstructed in every way, but Ferdinand still insisted on his own views and did not give an inch.

Seeing this, Baron Leiden hurriedly stood up, and said in a trembling voice: "Thank you for Your Majesty's kindness, what Count Fowler said is not wrong, the Northern Military Region has a heavy responsibility and cannot be easily transferred." ”

"Now that the demons of Kale County have long been out of the climate, coupled with the unity of the lords, it is enough to completely defeat them, so I will not ask Your Majesty to go out in person. ”

Although he was not as politically sensitive as those of professional politicians, he also sensed that something was wrong, and that the other party was clearly targeting the Creighton family.

If the king brought 100,000 troops into Kale County, what position did their Creighton family have in Kale County?

As the saying goes, it is easier to invite the gods than to send the gods, if the king puts the 100,000 army in Kale County, the Creighton family is afraid that they will be controlled everywhere.

King Ferdinand looked at each other indifferently, and after a long time, he turned his head to look at Count Edward, who was sitting precariously, and asked, "Count Edward, is what Baron Leyden said true?"

Earl Edward frowned slightly, a few days ago, the king personally sent an envoy to call him to attend the court meeting, he knew that something might happen, but he really expected it.

Although he didn't want to get involved in these dirty power struggles, it was clearly too late to leave.

Count Edward sighed, he was not good at lying, so he said the truth: "Baron Leyton's words are not accurate. ”

Hearing this, Baron Leiden's eyes suddenly widened, and his eyes were full of threat.

Seeing this, Earl Edward's brows furrowed even tighter, and he secretly said in his heart: The Creighton family is really becoming more and more presumptuous, and even a junior dares to stare at him.
