When Sira Marne heard these words, she consciously closed her mouth.

Pedi looked around at the minister, and seeing that they didn't want to talk about it, he frowned slightly and moved on to another topic: "How is the situation of the newly recruited soldiers after these months of training?"

"The soldiers recruited from the five corps this time are mostly military households who retired from the army after the end of the Orc War three years ago, so basic training can be exempted. Silah-Marne replied, "As long as they are given new equipment and enough low-level officers are deployed, they can be sent to the battlefield immediately." ”

"The warehouses of Crewe City are full of armor and weapons. Pedi looked at Collier as he said this, "Then select a group of outstanding students from the Non-Commissioned Officer Academy and let them graduate early." ”

"Yes!" Cowlier responded.

Faced with the eager king, the War Minister Sira Marne clearly wanted to say something, and before she spoke, she subconsciously looked at the old orc Morinda Morinda, but the other party shook his head at her.

The wordless exchange between the two, the king and queen did not notice because they were thinking about the problem, but it was keenly captured by the other ministers, and the words that Cowlier, Hanina, and Bipp wanted to say were swallowed back because of the exchange between the two.

Pedi rubbed his swollen head and kept smoking his cigar, letting his mind think as quickly as he could. For a moment, he even felt a little nostalgic for the autonomy of the regions in the past. At that time, it only took one order to wage war abroad, and naturally countless soldiers were gathered around him for him to deploy.

However, the soldiers of that time were no different from robbers.

"We're in good financial shape, aren't we?" said Pedy, looking at Sir Bipp, "or... How many more soldiers can we recruit?"

When Sir Bipp heard the King's question, he immediately recalled what he had memorized before the meeting, and said with a very proud expression on his face:

"The kingdom's finances have always been very good, although some time ago we had a lot of expenses, and we also provided a large loan fund for the Twak Leader, but because of this loan, the Twak Leader has shipped more than 100,000 sheep and countless plateau wheat for us as interest, and we use 'this interest' in exchange for ore from the orc tribe The weapons and equipment made of ore are being sold to various regions of the continent, and the Ministry of Finance estimates... This piece of equipment can bring twice as much wealth to the kingdom as we have lent to the highlands. ”

"That is, you have left the Twak Heights with nearly half a million kroner for not spent?" said Drahir's face was full of incredulity.

"Yes, you are right, in this transaction, we not only did not spend a penny, but also made a little... Moreover, the loans in the Twak Heights are also mainly used to buy soldiers' equipment, and most of them are purchased from us. Sir Bipp smiled a little smugly.

"You... It's shameless. ”

"Lord Drahir!" Goblin Omić's voice shrivelled, "this is a fair deal, a deal that Grand Duke Andy Barrett willingly paid for. ”

The old orc of Morinda also said: "Advisor Omiqi is right, although this transaction is easy for Sir Bipp, it cannot be completed without the strong trading capacity of Kruria and the well-developed handicraft production factories in various cities. ”

"Knock knock" Pedi's fingers tapped lightly on the coffee table, interrupting the useless topic of the ministers, and asked again: "With the current budget of the kingdom, how much can the army spend to the maximum?"

This is a very interesting and sensitive issue.

All the ministers looked at Pedi after his words landed, but Pedi didn't seem to notice the attention of these people, and took a document submitted by the secretary general and read it carefully.

"With the Kingdom's current financial resources, it shouldn't be a problem to support the cost of 300,000 regular troops, and if you want to fight a full-scale war, we can even recruit 500,000 troops at once, but..." Sir Bipp glanced at Sira Marne, who was opposite him, and whispered, "But it must be a war that must be won!"

Pedy naturally knew what Sir Bipp meant by 'victory', and he nodded lightly and muttered for a few seconds before saying, "This time, I will personally go to the Elok Territory. ”

No one is surprised by Pedi's words, in the tradition that humans have formed since the nomadic period, their ruler was a warrior, a warrior who sought honor more than anyone else.

Pedi continued, "However, I am going to the Iruk Territory this time, and I hope to be the king. ”

"I'll go to Iruk City in person!" "Sir Bipp immediately understood the King's intentions, "at most a month, the Elok Territory will officially become the territory of the kingdom." ”

Sir Bipp's words at this moment were as solemn as a knight's oath.

"I'll give you two months. After setting a time, Pedi looked at the Minister of War, Sira Marne, "You also have two months to recruit all the knights, nobles, and mercenaries in the kingdom and form a huge army that can sweep across the Suker Plains!"

"And—" Pedy stood up, "tell Sir Bowenright to take the southern line of defense of Tyre for me in five days." He walked over to his desk, looked at his wife before sitting down, and said, "Tell your father about my upcoming visit to Elok." ”

...

In three days, the news that the king of the Kingdom of Claria, Pedy Reagan, was about to visit the Eluk Territory in person, like a gust of wind, blew every corner of the Elan Continent, attracting everyone's attention.

Early in the morning of September 18th,

The fighting outside the 'Southern Line' was fiercer than in the last few days, with the Mage Towers sending their puppet troops at the start of the battle, and the swift werewolf legions willing to fight as the vanguard on the front line.

One of the two local legions responsible for garrisoning the city of Iruk, under the leadership of Corve-Rambo, rushed to the front overnight and took part in the attack with the most active attitude.

Two days later, on the morning of September 20,

The southern defense line of Tyre has fallen under the fierce offensive of the coalition forces led by Elok!

Subsequently, the Death Fortress regrouped its forces to the west of Elok City, and immediately retreated a hundred miles after the fall of the defensive line, and Penny Reagan, who had just completed the integration of forces in Tyre the previous day, also recalled his troops back to the town.

...

Town of Tyre,

An important market town on the border between the Sook Plains and the Iruk Realm, it was an independent tribal garrison before the Old Empire was formed. However, their tribe was slaughtered to the point of women for refusing to rule the empire during the War of Imperial Unification.

And this time, in the ravages of the undead legions, the town of Tyre almost suffered the disaster of 'extermination' again because of the misjudgment of the army of the Principality of Suluk stationed here at that time.

At this moment, the town of Tyre can be seen everywhere with traces left by the raging undead legions, as well as ruined buildings caused by the melee of the city-state forces in the past few days.

The town was formerly the Imperial Guard Office, and it is one of the few intact buildings in the town that has been preserved. The building looked new, at least for the old town, and the guard building was too new.

Penny Reagan has not left the building since entering Tyre, and the elite soldiers of the two squadrons around it are almost two-step guards in the surrounding courtyard, forbidding any strangers to enter.

On the second floor, in the original peace office, the sheriff's lounge is now the temporary office of the supreme commander of the garrison. Penny Reagan is summoning a pair of uncles and nephews... Uncle and nephew of Temple-Bob and Fipert-Bob.

Three smiling faces were reflected in the three steaming cups of coffee on the blackened coffee table, and their non-nutritious conversations echoed in the room.

"Seeing this office reminds me of something from my youth. "At that time, my dream was to go into the guard and put on that handsome uniform. For this reason, I studied hard from a very young age, and finally managed to get a letter of recommendation from Uen University at the age of 20 and get an interview opportunity. ”

"But you didn't make it?" Penny Reagan seemed to like this kind of story, at least from the look on her face at the moment that she was interested.

"No, I succeeded, and I became an agent as I wished. Temple-Bob kept a smile on his face, "But I'm disappointed that the agent really did something... My job at the time was simply to compile some case files that had already been concluded, and then write my own comments. ”

"It's a boring job. Penny commented softly.

"Yes, after entering the security office, I realized that there is no so-called fairness at all, the imperial security department is more like a mediation body between commoners and nobles, and very few cases are actually brought to court, because nobles always have money to spend, and commoners can never refuse this money. ”

"A seemingly useless but indispensable department. Penny Reagan whispered softly.

Temple-Bob immediately laughed and said, "Yes, you are right, the guard is like a poisonous snake in a wheat field, people are so scared that they want to kill them all, but without them, the wheat in the field will be gnawed by rats and there will be no slag left." ”

"That's what my brother had to say about the Guard, who was once a member of the Imperial Guard's decision-making team. Penny Reagan took a sip of coffee and said with a smile: "My brother rarely mentions his work in the security department, and the comment he just made is the only thing he said, so I remember it deeply." ”

When Uncle Bob heard Penny Reagan mention her brother, his otherwise casual eyes subconsciously became solemn. However, this solemnity is only a fleeting moment.

"His Majesty Pedi has been in the Imperial Guard for all to see, and I heard that it only took him a week to solve the 'assassination of the deputy chief of the military department' that other agents had been unable to solve for a long time!" said Dempto-Bob with the same smile he had just faced.

"The turmoil in the whole continent started because of that case. Fipert-Bob, who had been silent, interjected softly, then repeated the whisper: "It all started because of this case..."

"No, everything has been going on since the War of Imperial Unification in the Three Hundred Years!" Penny Reagan shook her head, "Everything is like the reincarnation prophesied by God, just like the rotation of day and night, and no one can escape this law." ”

"Perhaps. Fipert-Bob didn't insist on his opinion anymore, and it was very casual to agree.

"The chaos in the Suker Plains has been going on for too long, and now we have the power to put an end to it. Penny Reagan glanced casually over the two of them, "We should go and help the people living in the other ancestral regions of the Suk Plains, who need to return to civilized order." ”

"I couldn't agree more. Temple-Bob glanced at his nephew beside him, "I've convinced the city council of Hattis that they've agreed to join the city of Suke... So, the only trouble now is the town of Tyre, who refused to negotiate of any kind, and the men I sent were hung on the walls in iron cages and blasted. ”

"You should know that we don't have a lot of time. Penny Reagan frowned.

"Actually, Kwyn Town is only superficially tough now, and Barry Victor's tenure as City Governor continued his rule, and the wanton conscription and tax hike during the Battle of Klan last year caused the area around Kwyn to be dissatisfied with his rule," said Faybert Bob at this time. This time, in order to gain more power in Tyre, he spared no effort to collect the remaining wealth of Kwyn. ”

"If you can bring something to the people of Kwyn that they want to commit to, and advance some ... I can help you take the entire Kwyn area. Fiportt-Bob said and stood up and gave Penny Reagan a courtesy.

Penny Reagan leaned back in her seat and looked Fippold Bob up and down, and after a few seconds of silence, asked, "How many people do you need?"

"All I need is your promise!" Fipott-Bob straightened up at Penny's motion.

The surprise on Penny Reagan's face flashed, and she suppressed the curiosity in her heart, and asked as a ruler, "Are you sure? Didn't you hear what your uncle just said? The people he sent to Kwyn were now dried by the summer heat." ”

Fipert-Bob whispered, "I don't have to enter Kwyn, the power to break down the rule of the Kwyn City Council is not in the town. ”

"Oh?" Penny Reagan glanced at Demptop-Bob in surprise, and after going through all the questions in her head, she said, "As long as you don't touch my bottom line, you can negotiate on my behalf with organizations, unions, or individuals in the Kwyn area who are willing to return to civilized order." ”

"Thank you for your trust, Your Excellency Speaker!" Fiportt-Bob bowed his head, "I would like to go now, if I can." ”

"Of course!" Penny immediately responded, "do you need my cooperation?"

"In a while a certain merchant may ask to see you, and I hope you will grant him some reasonable requests. "Fipott-Bob really made a request.
