Chapter 103: Far from the time of celebration
Zhao Yu has always been in excitement, although he doesn't know much about the Principality of Aria, but he has heard about its powerful side.
If this country really wants to lend a helping hand to Saran, then it will definitely be able to deter the invasion of the Sauron Empire.
The other people in the room were also in extreme excitement, especially Qian Hao and Shen Jun, these two people who were already very active in themselves, seemed to be dancing hand in hand.
"Hah, really, the Principality of Elia is coming to our aid...... It's also too ...... It's too ......" Qian Hao seemed to be doing a standing long jump, and his arms were still dancing.
Of course, the others cheered as if the war had been won.
"Great!
"Finally waiting for the help of this powerful country, this is simply the best news I have heard in all these days!"
"As long as the elves of the Principality of Elia help, those brutes of the Sauron Empire will not dare to bully us anymore. ”
The sound of excessive cheers and joys has been wafting in the hall of the council, and there is no intention of stopping at all.
Correspondingly, the regent of Zhou Zhi proudly puffed up his chest and smiled. He was very proud that he could receive such important information from Kiyose Castle in the first place.
'See, you little cubs, don't you think this regent is of no use? I'm a high-ranking official who has been in the kingdom of Saran for decades!
"Ah, if the news is true, then it must be true for us Saran...... Like the gift of rain from heaven!" Lieutenant Marshal Ma Liming put away the letter, folded it up and handed it into the hands of the regent.
The regent of Zhou Zhi did not shirk anything, and he also put away the letter directly. However, the smug feeling on his face didn't take it away at all!
"Vice Marshal Ma Liming, can you still question the news of Kiyose Castle?" he half-jokingly and spat out a few hints of his voice.
"Ah, Regent! I didn't mean that. I'm just sighing. I believe that the news from Kiyose Castle must be correct. But to be honest, the news actually came quite suddenly, at least I didn't expect it to be that smooth. ”
"It's not sudden, in fact, a few days ago, the Grand Commander Raphael over there had already verbally promised us that he would report to help us Saran. The regent of Zhou Zhi preached.
Raphael was the Grand Commander of the Duchy of Aria and the decision-making ruler of his country. However, incompatible with the Elven race, the main race of Aria, his race is indeed called orcs.
Raphael's presence also broke the habit that only elves could be the ruler of the Grand Duchy of Aria.
"Ah, the Lord Regent is right!" Ma Liming nodded repeatedly, "I'm really happy now! He lowered his head, as if he was about to cry.
Most of them are in a state of extreme excitement, although the movements they are currently exhibiting vary in shape. For example, Qian Hao and Shen Jun were still jumping around at random, while Jiang Jingwen was running around Chen Tianhao. As for Ma Liming and Wang Bin, these two slightly mature generals have always shown a look of relief from time to time.
The Principality of Aria is finally coming to the aid - Zhao Yu slowly raised his head, and the eyes that looked straight at the ceiling gradually revealed a little crystal luster.
The reason why everyone is so excited is because everyone knows the fact that the Saran Kingdom alone cannot confront the Sauron Empire. If you want to win this war, you have to come to the aid of other powers.
No, the Duchy of Elia has agreed to help, and it is believed that in a few days reinforcements will arrive, and the Kingdom of Saran will avoid the fate of being swallowed by Sauron.
Zhao Yu gradually breathed a sigh of relief, and his expression changed from a nervous state to a pouting and smiling style.
However, among the people present, not all of them were in a good mood, and Shen Mengting was one of the outliers. She always kept a tight countenance, and from time to time she turned her sharp gaze to look at everything around her.
Qian Hao, who was still giggling, saw that Marshal Shen Mengting did not show a trace of happiness, so he opened his mouth and asked, "Hmm, what's wrong with you? Are you unhappy?"
With Qian Hao's question, others also noticed Marshal Shen Mengting's current strange expression. As a result, most of the people also stopped smiling and turned their surprised eyes on Shen Mengting.
After Shen Mengting looked around at everyone, she opened her mouth and said, "Well, what's wrong?
For Shen Mengting's yin and yang strange words, many people showed a panicked look. They began to look at each other, as if they didn't know what to do.
"Are you excited now?" Shen Mengting deliberately walked to the center of the room. In this way, it means that she is currently in the position of the core of everyone.
When the regent of Zhou Zhi saw this scene, he couldn't help but tone his sharp gaze. The other party he was looking at was naturally Shen Mengting, who was already standing in the center of the room.
"Ahh......h What's going on?" Jiang Jingwen stepped forward and asked with her hands clenched. She surprisingly didn't call out the words 'Sister Mengting', mainly because there was an annoying regent relationship among the people present.
"What's going on? I'm just asking everyone, are you excited right now?" Shen Mengting began to look around, almost everyone's figures were in her eyes.
"Ah, is the marshal asking us this?" General Wang Bin stood up, his expression was slightly embarrassed, but he still confided the words in his heart, "Of course! Now that the Duchy of Elia has decided to come to our aid, doesn't that mean that we are safe?"
"Oh, is it?" Shen Mengting pursed her lips and chuckled. Her steps began to move, and her path was in front of the marshal's table and chair in the depths of the room.
At first, when she reached her destination, she did not choose to sit down, but quickly turned around.
"You just whimsically think that our Saran is safe?"
In the face of Shen Mengting's question, everyone showed a look of surprise.
"Ahh
Shen Mengting immediately chuckled, it was a mocking smile, and even her body twitched quickly, "For now, it's just the leader of the Principality of Aria who has applied for a proposal to their subordinate council." It's still a long way from their final dispatch of troops!"
"Ahh......h Marshal Shen!" Ma Liming immediately responded in surprise, "As long as their Grand Commander Raphael and the officials below agree, then the subordinate council also nods, isn't it a matter of course?"
He was right. With a serious countenance, the regent of Zhou Zhi continued to look directly at Shen Mengting, "Although the nature of the Principality of Aria requires the approval of the subordinate council before it can implement some of the policies of their Grand Commander. However, this is usually just a procedure. Nine out of nine decisions are passed by the parliament. Moreover, it is entirely in the interest of their principality of Elia to come to the aid of our Saran. Therefore, the parliament will definitely approve the aid. ”
"Yes! I know that. But what about time, are you ignoring time?" Shen Mengting glanced at everyone again, her neck rolling with her gaze, "Don't you think so? The Sauron Empire will wait for us to accept the aid of the Principality of Elia in vain, and miss the best opportunity at the moment?"
It was another word that made everyone tremble, and everyone quickly let out a look of uneasiness.
"From the Grand Commander of Aria, to report to their subordinate councils, and then wait for the parliament's vote, and finally to the parliament's formal approval, how much time will it take, don't you have a score in your hearts?" Shen Mengting bared her teeth, almost to the point of being in a state of angry eyes.
"Ahh......h
"And that's not the point. Shen Mengting shook her head slightly, "Even if their council agrees, it doesn't mean that they can launch assistance immediately." The council also sent the letter of consent back to their Commander, who himself signed and approved the announcement. It's not going to be long. There is also an even more terrifying point, that is, even if the Grand Commander issues an order, when they want to gather troops, they will have to transport their troops from the Fuxing Continent for thousands of miles, which is not known until the Year of the Monkey. ”
"In other words......" Shen Mengting finally seemed to be making a decision, one of her fingers moved in front of her from time to time, "Now is not the moment to be happy at all, and Saran is far from being safe." ”
Everyone was so surprised by Shen Mengting's words that everyone seemed to be immersed in panic, which was very different from just hearing the message that the Principality of Elia was coming to help.
"Ahh......h
What Qian Hao wants to ask is exactly what other people are thinking about.
Shen Mengting looked at everyone sharply, and quickly straightened her waist, "The specific time is also difficult to determine, but you can guess." ”
"Marshal Shen, what is your guess?" Vice Marshal Ma Liming swallowed uneasily.
"It's not my guess, but it can be extrapolated from the previous process on Ariya's side. Shen Mengting finally approached the crowd, and she no longer looked like her waist was completely straight, "I remember that when Uncle Lin Mingyuan was still in the barracks, he told me that 'our people from Saran have gone to Eria to ask for help'. Then, a few days later, our men arrived, met with the Grand Commander of the Duchy of Aria, and presented them with a request for assistance. ”
"Well, that's true. Ma Liming nodded and agreed.
"A month has passed since the letter of assistance was handed over to the Grand Commander of the Principality of Elia, and then they nodded and agreed to help!
With Marshal Shen Mengting's glance, many people nodded their heads one after another. Shen Mengting is right, although the parliament can make decisions through the general leader, but it will definitely take some time to go through the formal voting of the [River Crab] and the involvement of various interests.
"When Eliya's council agrees, it will be a month at the earliest. Then, their Grand Commander had to re-approve the signature, which would then be executed by their Minister of Military Affairs. How much time it will take, I believe you also have a bottom in your heart. Shen Mengting showed a more helpless expression, "The Minister of Military Affairs of Aria, after announcing the assistance to other countries, the first thing is naturally to gather troops. However, this force cannot be assembled overnight. ”
"It is as strong as the Sauron Empire, which claims to have an army of one million, but the actual investment at present is less than 100,000. Why is that?" Shen Mengting asked herself, "That's because it takes time to gather troops. Troops are scattered around the country, and it must take days or more to mobilize. ”
"The same is true for the Duchy of Aria. The territory of the Principality of Elia is no less than that of Sauron. Therefore, it will also take a lot of time for Elia to gather troops. I guess it's going to take more than two months!"
Shen Mengting's words were like pouring cold water on everyone's heads, making them all look discouraged almost at the same time.
Don't be so discouraged, my words are not finished yet-Shen Mengting looked at everyone, and then more shocking words were about to be released.
