It's late at night.

In the imperial city of the Great Western Kingdom, it is still brightly lit.

The candlelight flickered, the government hall was full of people, and the military generals were studying the map together to discuss countermeasures.

An Zeguo's heavy troops invaded on a large scale, and the troops attacked in two ways, and the border war was urgent.

Two important military towns are under attack, and no one knows how long they can resist, and in order to prevent the enemy from moving away from the mountain, the defenders of other nearby border military towns do not dare to move easily, so they can only send reinforcements from the rear to support.

Grain, grass, ordnance, soldiers, coachmen......

As the saying goes, the soldiers and horses go first before the grain and grass are moved!

The enemy army is coming, and it is bound to be a protracted war, and if only a small force is sent forward, it will be a drop in the bucket, so it is necessary to gather a large army and set off.

At that time, the emperor of the Great Western Kingdom, he did not participate in the discussion of the military generals.

What the ministers care about is the gains and losses of the war, and once there is a large-scale battle, it will inevitably produce huge casualties and consume a lot of money, which is really a waste of money for the people.

Even if the war is won, the harvest at the time of the autumn harvest will not be good, and the poor grain harvest will inevitably bring about price instability, and the poor people will not be able to pay taxes, and even their livelihood will become a problem.

Whether it is the land area, population size, or the output of important materials such as grain, ironware, salt, and cloth, there is a big gap between the Great West Kingdom and the Anze Kingdom, so it is equivalent to a strong country invading a weak country today.

The possibility of losing the war was relatively high, and some of the civil servants even wanted to negotiate peace directly, while others felt that space could be exchanged for time, and the assembled army did not need to go to the front line to participate in the battle, but only needed to resist in the rear and gradually weaken the enemy's offensive.

The ideas of the ministers are too absurd and unrealistic.

The enemy invaded on a large scale, and before they could catch anything, they took the initiative to surrender and negotiate peace? Of course, the generals were not happy with 100,000.

In this regard, the idea of the generals is to immediately gather elite forces and quickly go out to meet the enemy, especially since the two pass military towns that have been attacked are still alive, and they are very suitable for defense with the help of terrain and military towns.

On the contrary, if the enemy waits for the enemy to break through the military town and fight all the way to the open terrain, it will not be conducive to the Great Western Kingdom, after all, they do not have many soldiers, lack of cavalry, and poor supplies.

And as the emperor's Yicha, he didn't care about the gains and losses of a city and a pool, nor did he care about the investment and losses of the war, he stared at the map, thinking about the invasion of An Zeguo's army, and it was chosen in the busy agricultural season, what was it for?

The spy department has been working ineffectively, and the infiltration and reconnaissance of An Zeguo have not been enough, the enemy has begun to mobilize for war, and the army has attacked, so that they only have time to let the border pass military town strengthen its defense and vigilance, and there is no time to prepare and dispatch a large army to the border pass to resist the battle.

The enemy has two large armies, claiming to be 300,000.

With so many troops dispatched, it is natural to prepare quite a lot of ordnance, food and grass, which is definitely a long-planned plan.

What he was most worried about was that An Zeguo would collude with other countries, and when the time came, he would mobilize a small number of heavy troops and go to the front line, only to be invaded in other directions.

The country is weak and weak, so it is so hard.

He was in desperate need of information now, and he had to know whether Anxi and the other two neighboring countries had joined forces.

But it's a pity that the enemy inspector who specializes in spying on intelligence and collecting enemy information is completely like a group of rice buckets, providing valuable information at all, only claiming that there is no sign of a large army gathering in Yue Teng and Shalu at present.

Not now, that doesn't mean there won't be in the future.

What if the two countries invaded in a big way?

Three-front warfare? How can the great western country's national strength be able to withstand it?

The most painful thing in the agrarian feudal civilization is that communications and transportation are backward, it is difficult to collect and transmit information, and it is extremely difficult to mobilize troops and materials.

"Report!!"

Just when everyone did not discuss the result, a high-pitched voice broke the noise.

He immediately sat up straight, thinking it was an urgent express from the front line, but he didn't expect it to be a palace guard.

"Your Majesty, when Wei Chen led the troops to patrol the night, he suddenly saw the light shining in the sky, and he led the troops to find that there was a pearl in the night, you see, it still exudes light!"

The guards immediately handed the Night Pearl respectfully.

Everyone in the government hall was stunned, and they were all surprised.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty!

"Yes, yes, the sky is auspicious, and the war will be won!"

"The night pearl is smooth and shining, it is the best!"

"Such auspiciousness is rare in the world! Providence is like this, please give Your Majesty the order to send troops!"

……

The military generals quickly fell to their knees, and they all shouted for tsunami persuasion.

He was not immediately moved, after getting the Night Pearl, he looked at it carefully, and before he could comment on it, the Night Pearl seemed to melt, and it quickly soaked into his body from the palm of his hand.

The generals were dumbfounded.

"Hey, where's the Pearl of the Night?

"Is it made of snow? melted?"

"Your Majesty, how is your hand?

……

In the midst of everyone's surprised inquiry, Yi Cha shook his head and said, "I'm fine, you continue to discuss!"

Although he said this, he looked around carefully in great surprise.

If it melts, what about the water? or the glowing liquid?

How can it be like it melts into your hands and nothing is gone?

After looking at it in a daze, the generals didn't find anything abnormal, so they continued to discuss the war.

After all, the war situation is as urgent as fire, and the front line may not be able to withstand the collapse at any time and be invaded by the army of An Zeguo, which is not a good thing.

It's just that......

In the process of listening to the discussion, he suddenly had a very strange feeling, as if someone was talking in his ear.

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Iron Power System, you can spend energy points for the lottery, and you can get a wealth of various rewards......"

"Who? Who's talking?"

He stood up suddenly.

The military generals who were talking and discussing were all stunned.

The hall fell silent immediately, but a voice was still heard.

Turning his head to look around, he knew that everyone was silent and didn't speak, but why could he still hear the sound?

What do you say about getting a system? You can get more people's favor, worship, prestige, etc., so that you can get power points, and then draw lotteries? And there are great rewards?

This voice turned out to be the language of the Great Western Kingdom, which was very standard and fluent.

He shook his head vigorously, but the voice was still there.

He kept repeating the sentence: "You have two free lottery chances, do you want to draw now?"

Lottery?

What lottery? What is the Iron Power system?

He clutched his head tightly, a little painful, but strangely, it didn't hurt at all.

The generals of Wenchen were dumbfounded, and they didn't have the heart to discuss the war, and someone immediately notified the imperial doctor to come over.

The meeting to discuss the war situation was temporarily suspended, and the Governor ordered everything to be carried out according to the established plan for the time being, complete the mobilization for the war as soon as possible, and organize a large army to go to the front to support, and then drive back to the palace.

After arriving at the dormitory, he lay down on the bed and let the imperial doctor diagnose and treat him.

The technology of feudal farming civilization is too backward, and there is no advanced medical technology, so it is impossible to draw blood for laboratory ultrasound images and MRI images, so the imperial doctor is to prick silver needles, probe the pulse, look at the tongue coating and eyeballs, and so on.

After this consultation, of course, there was no problem.

Lying on the bed, he also felt that everything was normal, and after sending the imperial doctor away, even the palace maids and concubines retreated.

There was only one person left in the dormitory, and he closed his eyes, and just as he wanted to rest, the voice appeared again.

And he felt that in the space of consciousness, it seemed that a virtual screen had appeared, a lottery device with pointers and a turntable.

Is it really possible to draw a lottery?

3.75 million energy points remaining?

On the turntable, are all the prizes real?

Steam engine technology, high-yield crops, lark, primary smelting technology, gunpowder-ordnance formulation and assembly technology, glass production technology?

There are many things that he doesn't understand very well, and can only be understood literally.

But just by looking at the name, I don't know how strong I feel, and I want to try but I don't dare to ......
