But—" What else was Sila Marne trying to say.

"The battle of the Eluk Territory is just the beginning, and as the Minister of War of the Kingdom, you should see further, Sir. Pedi interrupted Syrah Marne, "The battle of the Eluk Leader is only to open our way to the Suk Plains, if we compromise with the Mage Tower at this time, then we will only continue to compromise in the rest of the war... In this way, is it necessary for us to fight this war?"

Pedy's words were flat, but the serious expression on his face revealed that he took what he was saying very seriously. When Sheila Marne heard these words, she only felt a sudden increase in pressure on her shoulders, and she couldn't say what she wanted to say just now.

Morinda took the cigar handed by Pedi, sniffed it, and then bit it into his mouth and whispered, "But Major General Buck is there...", his finger drew a circle near the North Silver Forest, "According to the intelligence... There are no natural development counties to rely on in this area, let alone any places to defend, and the huge military strength of the undead legion can exert its maximum combat power on this terrain. ”

Sira Marne put the cigar to the tip of her nose and sniffed, "Without the city wall defense, Major General Barker's unit would have been surrounded for two days at most. ”

"But I don't think this line of defense is very important!" Pedi bit his cigar and stood up and walked to the map, pointing to the undead legion in Broken Bones Town, "Even if the undead legion breaks through the 'Adiri Line', what can it do? In the past half month, our army has cleared this area of evil energy, and the undead army's entry into this area is equivalent to an expedition, and the vast southern area of the El Luk Territory is also disadvantageous for the undead legions that suddenly go south. ”

As he spoke, Pedi picked up his charcoal and circled all the areas south of the Eluk Territory, "For the undead legions, this area is just as vast, and their huge army entering this area is as inconspicuous as a drop of water falling into the sea. ”

Sheila Marne and Morinda are not stupid, they just study the battles of the El Luk Territory every day and form a kind of inertial thinking, which makes them subconsciously want to keep the 'Adiri Line', but ignore the fighters behind the defense line.

"Bring in the undead legion?" Morinda 's eyes flashed.

"I think that's what Bowen Wright designed. Pedi nodded, "He should know very well that Major General Buck's current strength is simply not enough to face the impending war, but he still keeps Major General Buck here." He pointed his finger at the 'Adiri Line' on the map, "I'm sure that Bowenwright gave Major General Buck an order to hold on here for at least half a month!"

"No," Siala Marne shook her head, "According to the information played by the Front Affairs Officer, Bowenright asked Major Buck to decide whether to hold or retreat. ”

That only shows that Bowen Wright is more intelligent than I thought. Pedi shrugged and laughed, "However, Bowenwright will definitely attract the nobles to attack by doing so, after all, he is now sending the entire power of the United Navy into the enemy's mouth." ”

Sira Marne nodded subconsciously, ignoring the doctor's instructions to light the cigar in her mouth, and after taking a few deep breaths, she began to rethink the situation of the entire battle of the Eluk Territory.

Morinda fell silent as well, staring at the southern part of the Illuk Territory marked on the map through the smoke around his head.

"The Council has left a message in the web that it will send five full-fledged mages and two hundred apprentices to the 'Adiri Line' to support Major General Buck. Eileen Phil broke the silence she had just fallen into.

"When can I arrive?" asked Sirah Marne hurriedly.

Erin Phil's gaze fell on Sira Marne and said, "The magical teleportation from the port city of Yekjar to the front line has been opened, and if nothing else, it will arrive in two hours." ”

Pedi smiled when he heard the conversation between the two, tapped his finger lightly on the 'Adili Line', looked at Sira Marne and asked, "What is the order that Bowenlet gave to Buck?"

He left Major General Buck up to decide for himself how to fight in the southern part of the Iruk Territory. ”

"In the name of the War Department, copy the letter of order from Bowenwright and send it to General Barker. Peidi smiled slightly, "Also, ask the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to send a letter of representation to the Mage Tower, asking them to send more mages to the 'Adiri Line'." ”

In Sira Marne's puzzled gaze, Pedi laughed, "You have to do a full set of acts!"

"Haha!"

The old orc Morinda let out a hearty laugh, and Syrah-Marne also smiled happily after she figured it out, and Erin Feier, who was sitting next to her, stared at her husband's flank, and the laughter of the three of them surrounded her ears, and the bitterness in her heart could only be understood by herself.

Over the next hour, Pedi and the two ministers discussed the details of the battle for Iruk. By the time Pedy had recovered from the discussion, Eileen Phil had already left.

It was ten o'clock in the evening when the two ministers left.

When Pedi was alone in the pavilion, he dismissed the nearby castle servants and rearranged the tea set that had been gathered next to it on the stone table alone.

However, when the tea was ready, he poured it out, and then washed the tea set again and made another pot of tea, and this time he still did not taste the tea.

Tea with hot air flows down the small ditch carved by the stone edge in the gazebo, and flows into the sewer built by the gazebo. The bitter aroma quickly filled the entire pavilion, dispelling the smell of the insect repellent herbs and making Pei Di feel much better.

Then he cleaned the teapot again and made a new pot of tea.

But this time, he didn't rush to pour out the whole pot of tea, he first filled his cup, and couldn't wait to drink it and start to taste it, when the sweet and bitter taste spread in his mouth, he stood up and poured out the rest of the tea in the teapot and walked out of the gazebo.

In the dimly lit garden, Pedi stepped on the gravel path that seemed to be out of sight, and walked alone like a lonely wandering spirit to relax and enjoy his own quiet time.

In summer, the flowers are not only luxuriant, but also the chirping of insects and birds, which makes the mood of those who walk in it particularly happy.

But Pedi's happy mood didn't last long, because in his mind now, every little thing could remind him of the government affairs he needed to deal with, and it was a subconscious thought that kept him in a state of high tension.

In this silent environment,

Pedi always subconsciously remembers some of the things he has done before...

After that coronation, the Kingdom of Kruria became more influential than the previous dukedoms, and now looked down like a giant over the eastern part of the continent.

Pedi has also enjoyed the glory of supreme power for nearly half a year, and this supreme glory has brought him endless confidence, which made him think that he would be the best choice to start a new empire.

However, a recent report from the Office of National Conditions Analysis has awakened him from a rosy fantasy.

Although the report was submitted in the name of the King's Analysis Office, Pedi knew that it was written by the old orc Morinda privately. Turning the pages of the report, the top page was marked in red with the words 'His Majesty the King personally opened, this is the only one, there is no supplement'.

The main content of the report is to explain the growing abscess of the aristocracy in the kingdom, the vast bureaucracy controlled by the aristocracy, and the problems of the royal family, which are not mentioned in normal times.

Two years ago, in order to strengthen the trade economy of the Crewe Territory, Pedi appointed Edwin Filmin, a great merchant at the time, as the chief treasurer, to reform the trade issues within the kingdom, and here he did not hesitate to wage war against the Herion Lord, and revoke the autonomy of the Harrence and Bean Realms.

The Kingdom's financial statements for the first quarter of this year highlighted the success of this reform, and Pedi was thrilled that the mountain of crowns would be the foundation of his royal power.

Now, however, all the problems that had been deliberately ignored in the past for the purpose of restructuring the trade economy have erupted in one group, and at the same time, there has been a dissolution in the bureaucratic system, which has abolished the autonomy of the local government and expanded it indefinitely.

Morinda's report mentions:

The merchants of the kingdom benefited greatly from this reform, and their status was greatly elevated. To this day, many of the great merchants have as much influence as the high-ranking nobles of the kingdom and influence the local authorities. In the following two years, many traditional aristocrats began to cooperate with merchants in order to consolidate their positions, and successful big merchants combined with the declining aristocracy in order to improve their status, forming a lot of powerful political systems. ’

One of the most important reasons that Pedi advised him when he was reforming the trade economy, and what he was worried about at the beginning, happened... Instead of restraining each other, the traditional aristocracy and merchants came together against the increasingly centralized royal power!

The efficient functions that Pedi had been emphasizing were not being efficient, and the 'cascading orders' that he had previously mocked the empire were happening to him. The orders he gave to the front line now also need to be conveyed layer by layer, and one function after another set up for efficiency has now become a joke.

Pedi had the MI and the police station, as well as agents trained by Fort Kawal, all of which he had known before, but had not alarmed him. It wasn't until after Seke-Marat was assassinated that Pedi suddenly realized that there was still a force within the Kingdom of Kruli that could challenge his royal power!

And now, at the most critical juncture of the Kingdom's expansion. What's more, rumors of his wife being barren circulated throughout the kingdom...

"What do you want to do? royal power, or..."

While Pei Di was talking to himself, the report submitted by Morinda began to subconsciously appear in his mind.

"You want to devour the elephant with a swarm of ants?" Under the dark moonlight, Peidi's face showed a strong killing intent, "Then I will burn you all in one go!"

"Willie!" Pedi shouted at the entrance to the courtyard.

With the sound of armor rattling and heavy footsteps, Willy hurried to the king's side as fast as he could.

Pedi looked up at the scattered castle buildings in the distance, and calmly commanded, "Inform Chief Herman... No, it is only necessary to inform Baron Danmen of the Military Intelligence Department and ask him to prepare the files of all the high-ranking officials of the kingdom ministries when he reports tomorrow. ”

...

In the last few days, the regular meetings of the King's Office have been going on for a long time, and the endless debriefing and analysis meetings, the battle of the Eluk Territory, the affairs of the 'trade circle', the major issues within the kingdom, and so on, have been piled up on Pedi's desk every day.

"Your Majesty, the orc tribe's diplomatic envoy in Crewe asks if the postponed 'summit' still needs to be continued?" asked Sir Bipp, Prime Minister of the Government, as the meeting drew to a close.

"Oh! There's such a meeting!" Pedi resisted the urge to pat himself on the forehead, exhaled and said, "If you don't remind me, I will almost forget...", he looked around at the ministers in the office, and his eyes fell on Drahir, "If I invite your first general, do you think he will come?"

Before the undead army ravaged the world, the only 'summits' of the Pedi organization were the Orc Clan, the Kingdom of Baru, the Clarkley Mercantile Trade Alliance, and the Kingdom of Kruria. After the outbreak of war with the Undead Legion, Pedi planned to expand the scale of the meeting and invite everyone except the Undead Legion to attend.

So, the meeting was postponed indefinitely.

De La Heir was not surprised by such a question, and he replied after a deliberate silence: "If you could personally write to General Thrandil to invite him, I am sure he would definitely agree." ”

"If General Thranduil is going to participate in this meeting, the meeting place we have discussed at the beginning is somewhat appropriate, and it is not appropriate for the Elven First General to go to the Clarkley Islands. Morinda interjected.

"Why not?" the goblin Omich's shrill voice immediately rang out, "There is no better place to meet than the Clarkley Islands, and the cities that my people have built on the islands are more glorious than Suke City. ”

"I'm not denying the goblin urban civilization. Morinda looked at the disgruntled Omiqi standing on the wooden bench, "I mean it's not appropriate for General Thranduil to cross the continent. ”

"The Klickra Islands are indeed not suitable!" said Cilla-Marne, who also expressed her opinion, and added as Omić's big eyes glared at her, "If General Thranduil really intends to get involved." ”

"The Clarkley Islands are indeed too far away for the elves, and—" Hanina shook her head, "we need a place of absolute neutrality. ”

"Is there a place for absolute neutrality on this continent?" Omich shrugged.

"How's the military port of Yekjar?" said the old mage, Cowlil, speaking for the first time this morning.

"Do you think the Stone-Silver Axe will come?" Drahel immediately vetoed.

"There are three places that are most suitable, but they are not in our hands right now. Morinda looked left and right and looked at the king and said, "The town of Kwyn, the town of Hattis, the town of Tyre... Among them, the town of Kwen is the most suitable place. ”

"The city-state alliance would never grant such a request. Baron Hanina affirmed.

"Soon they will change their minds. Morinda laughed.
