Chapter 219: Imperial War

Inside the main hall of the Royal Palace of the Basharan Empire.

The young King Simon sat in the main hall, and below him were all the important ministers of the country who held the title of marshal, as well as the ministers and dukes.

"Your Majesty, the Borgs have begun to invade our northern borders. They're coming, we need to be prepared for a strategy!" said a marshal in ornate armor.

"I suggest that the most elite troops of the empire be mobilized, and then let the major lords separate their own troops to form a combined legion, otherwise it will be difficult for us to resist the attack of the Borgs!"

Those who can stand in the palace and speak are either holding heavy troops or holding power, and only the nobles who are at least dukes can participate in the deliberations, and the other party's statement has also attracted the opposition of many nobles.

"Now that all regions are preparing war materials and securing the security of the regions at all times, there are very few troops that can be sent. ”

"How is that possible! There have been no wars and no disasters have been heard of in any place over the years, and the nobles of the various regions have been in peace for a long time, their pockets are full of gold coins, and there are people in their territories who can be used. Now it's just a matter of asking you to give some of it to support the war...... Do you say that because you have a ghost in your heart? The marshal turned his head to stare at the man who spoke.

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm just talking about the actual situation. You only see the prosperity of each region, and you don't look at the expenses of each region, and many lords have a very tight life. ”

"It's just that you're spending too much on weekdays......"

"Shut up!!"

Under an order from the high platform, the people who were arguing on both sides suddenly lost their voices.

King Simon only then raised his head......

This morning, a company received yesterday's military report, the first batch of 120,000 elite troops of the Borgs formed a vanguard army has launched an attack on the north, due to the heavy artillery fire, combined with the power of airships and wizards, the outermost wall of the north was destroyed overnight, tens of thousands of soldiers died on the battlefield.

The continuous receipt of intelligence is even worse......

Not only the Borg's side, but even the Kate people also organized a small force to go around the border in the northeast region, but Kate's country has been subjugated under the Borg, and the national strength is not strong, and the two sides have not occupied a large area of land except for some casualties, and the northeast region of the Basharan Empire is the place with the most imperial earl families, and their combined army should be able to resist for a while.

But the signal for help is estimated to be on the way to and from the imperial capital!

Simon looked at the silent crowd below, and also noticed the marshal and the duke who were arguing just now.

"Now that the Borg forces have breached the northern gates, a second attack on us will soon be launched when their armies converge!You are still shouting here about this little thing, what I need is a solution, a solution to the Borg invasion!!"

In fact, there is one more thing Simon didn't say, that is, some of the imperial nobles in the north actually surrendered with their families when they saw that the situation was not good, and it was only a day.

If the other party drove straight in, I don't know how many nobles would choose not to resist like them...... Then the soldiers will be in the city.

The ministers did not dare to speak in the face of the king's anger, but Prince Philip stepped forward......

"Your Majesty, I don't think we need to worry too much. ”

"Huh?" everyone fixed their eyes on the prince whom the king trusted so much.

"Finish your words, Philip. ”

"Yes...... Although the Borg are menacing and will destroy our defenses in the north overnight, it is because we have not fought for many years, and the Borg has been fighting with Kate for many years, and even extended the spearhead to the western region, they have been good at fighting all these years. But after all, we are not as easy to submit as the Kates, it is said that the troops of the empire have gone to the north, and the marquis and counts of the northern regions are also actively forming joint forces to defend. ”

"But that doesn't drive the Borg away. A marshal stepped forward and said.

"There is no need to rush, they will go on their own...... It will not be long before winter comes, as long as we fight with them until winter to hold our ground, and harvest all the food in the vicinity, the Borg will naturally retreat if it is inconvenient to fight in winter, and then we only need to send an ambassador to the Borg to lobby to quell the war. Philip said.

"You are publicly announcing your surrender, Your Royal Highness. Why can't we fight Borg!"

"Borg's fighting power is not something we can compete with, it's the easiest and most effective way to do it. Philip said to those who stood up to refute it.

"Hahaha...... This is the most interesting surrender I have heard this year. ”

"Mr. Marshal, I would like to remind you of one thing. War and destruction are sometimes a matter of decision, would you put a young soldier against a brutal beast?"

"You're saying that we, the Bashalams, are weak. The marshal on the other side said dissatisfiedly.

"Once reason triumphs over temper, our country will survive!"

"You ......"

"Alright!" saw that the two were about to quarrel again, so King Simon stopped him.

"The Borg are now menacing, our intelligence has shown that this time they have sent a full half million elite troops, this number is difficult even for our imperial army to deal with, we can't fight the enemy head-on the battlefield, we must know how to outwit. King Simon's words were not explicitly pointed, but he clearly believed his uncle more.

"Your Majesty, it can't be like this. In this way, the fighters will lose their confidence, and the people will lose hope in us. ”

"As long as you live, you are the greatest hope!"

Philip continued to speak to the other party.

King Simon looked into the ranks of the marshal......

"If there is a good way to fight, you can also say it, whether it is offensive or defensive, we need the wisdom of the marshals. Probably looking at the frustration in the camp of the main battle faction, King Simon did not forget to say a word of encouragement, but his words of encouragement seemed very cowardly in the ears of the marshals!

The response discussed in the palace will probably be Prince Philip's policy of defensive peace talks......

And at this moment, not far from the palace, the imperial wizards were waiting for the results of the meeting to come.

Frelia was alone on the periphery of the Wizard's Tower, staring at the sky in a daze......

"Ahem~ Chief. ”

It was a sudden sound behind her that brought her back from her musings.

"It's Sohana, what's wrong?

"Not really, but there's news for you on the other side. Sohana's face was obviously not very good-looking, which also made Frelia puzzled.

"What's the matter. ”

"Letter from the south-eastern part of the empire, Count Sean Vigel. ”

"Sean......" Frelia said with unconcealed joy, but she found that there were many wizards around and did not dare to speak.

She quickly snatched the letter from Sohana's hand, causing the other party to look at her.

"Chief, I don't understand. He's just an earl, and if you keep getting involved with him like this, I'm afraid there will be problems, even if it's the prince's side. ”

"It's my own business, when do I have to worry about them. ”

Beautiful eyes glanced at Sohana's helpless expression.

"You don't understand ......"
