Chapter Forty-Six: Reinforcements Arrive North

On the night of the first day of the Goria-Kermanian War, the Ottomans and Alice arrived in the royal capital of Torlistine from the northern border of Torlistine. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info This time Alice received a more warm welcome, the last time she came to try against Toristine, this time she brought the army to rescue Torristin.

Osman was also received by Anrietta, who introduced him to women such as Tifania and Tabasha. Osman had no opinion on letting these girls hold important positions, but he secretly raised his vigilance against Haotian. He can naturally see that these girls have some connection with Haotian, if Haotian has a heart of disobedience, I am afraid that Wang Du will be able to change the sky overnight.

The 10,000 border guards brought by the Ottomans, the 15,000 Albion troops, and the 30,000 legions directly under the crown prince brought by Alice were stationed outside the city, not far away, and it was also meant to use 25,000 troops to monitor Alice's 30,000 troops. After all, if the 30,000 troops of the country are close to the royal capital, it will be dangerous if Alice wants to change his fortune.

However, at the banquet to welcome Alice and her party, Alice and Ann Lieta talked happily, and it seemed that they were thinking too much. The atmosphere of the banquet was quite relaxed and pleasant, and Alice didn't propose to compete with Haotian or anything.

After the banquet, Ann Lieta invited Alice to the Lake Pavilion to talk.

After retiring the other soldiers, only two daughters, An Lieta and Alice, were left in the Lake Heart Pavilion.

Angeletta first expressed her gratitude to Alice for bringing her troops to help, and then discussed with Alice when they would join forces to drive out the Goria army south of Torristin.

Alice inquired about the current state of the war in southern Torlistine. Kermania also has its own intelligence agency, but it is not as accurate as the information obtained in Torristeen itself.

Ann Rietta did not suspect him, and told Alice the truth about the situation in the south.

"Really? The southern defense line [Thoth] was occupied, the available troops were wiped out, and there was no army left to stop the army of Goria. Why didn't the Goria army go north? ”

Anrietta: "I don't know, but there is a blue eagle corps on the border of Goria, and there are traces of local army movements. It may be that the advance army is under-strengthened, and they are waiting for Goria to increase their troops. ”

"Yes." Alice nodded, the purpose of her coming here is to use Toristine to contain Goria's forces, and it is naturally good to let Goria invest more in the Toristine battlefield.

"In that case, then without further ado, we can rest for half a day and start tomorrow afternoon."

"Actually, there's no need to rush it." Anrietta was a little surprised, Alice seemed to be more enthusiastic than her.

"No, the soldiers are fast. If it had been a day late, perhaps the Gorian Army would have moved and annexed the southern part of Torlistine. Alice insisted on going south early to support.

"Alright then, I'll discuss it with my ministers."

An Lieta hurriedly left the Huxin Pavilion and summoned Haotian, Osman, Lady Karina, Tifania, Fukai, and the head of the Supreme Court of Nils in the main hall of the palace. Except for Gramon, who was still rushing back from the south, the ministers had already arrived.

"Princess Alice wants to go south tomorrow to help. I'd like to ask your opinion? Anrietta gets straight to the point.

"I'm for it." Karina said lightly. Duke Wariel's life and death are unknown, and although she is calm on the surface, she is anxious inside.

Osman stroked his beard. "In fact, the situation in the south is already extremely bad, and it can't change anything sooner or later, so it's better to let these troops recuperate and fight south in the best condition."

Tifa and Fukai are both newcomers, and Nils is an ass for Ann Rietta. Lady Karina and Osman disagreed, and the others focused their eyes on Haotian.

In particular, Karina and Osman have the sharpest eyes.

Haotian was under a lot of pressure, and suddenly smiled "hehe", and said when others didn't know why.

"If you are the commander of the Golia Advance Army, what do you want Toristine to do?"

An Lieta and the others were stunned for a moment, and then thought for a while.

"They don't want us to go south, it's better to give them more time to move troops from within the country, if Goria's troops into Toristin are increased to 100,000, then Toristin's current national strength will be difficult to confront; If it is increased to 50,000, it will not be able to drive them away, which is similar to our current strength. Therefore, it is better to go south as soon as possible. Haotian expressed his opinion.

Osman was silent for a moment, as if persuaded to nod his head.

Seeing that the ministers were unanimous, Anrietta decided to let the army go south tomorrow.

"As for the command of the southward operation?" Anrietta suddenly spoke, "Just let me command it myself." ”

"What!!" "Nope." "Your Majesty thinks twice."

Osman, Karina, and Nils objected.

Angeletta seemed to have made up her mind.

"This is an extremely important battle that will determine the fate of Torlistine, how can I bear to be left to fate in the royal capital?"

Ottoman and others were speechless.

Haotian spoke: "That being said, Anrietta, you are not good at commanding battles. If you're in command, you'll probably waste these forces. ”

Only Haotian dared to speak out about Ann Rietta's shortcomings.

Angelita was momentarily speechless. "But..."

"Let me do it, commander of the south. Anrietta will sit in the royal capital and make every effort to restore the establishment and replenishment of the Gramon Legion. The remaining local armies in the north and the local armies on the west coast were transferred to the Gramon Corps, and the undisbanded militias in the south were added to the local armies, and the skeleton of the army was first propped up. ”

Osman and Karina nodded when they heard this, and now in the time of war, military strength is the most direct manifestation of the country's strength.

Anrietta was a little reluctant. "But..."

"It's nothing, I'll win." Haotian smiled faintly.

"Okay. You must, you have to come back. Anrietta said stupidly.

"Well, I promise."

The atmosphere in the hall was shrouded in pink for a while, but soon Anrietta returned to her queenly style and said in a solemn voice.

"Then, I appoint Secretary of State Haotian as the commander-in-chief of the southbound army, with full authority to represent me and Toristine, and everything is decided by Haotian and acted cheaply. Ottoman served as the commander of the southward army, the local army; Karina served as the commander of the Southward Army, and the Warier Army. In addition, all the members of the [Magic Knights] went south with the army and listened to Haotian's command. Tomorrow you will go south with the 30,000 troops of Princess Elles of Kylmania to drive away the Goria army. ”

Haotian: "Yes." ”

Uthman: "Command." ”

Lady Karina: "Everything is in the Queen's will. ”

After the meeting, Angeletta returned to the Pavilion to tell Alice the results.

Alice was very satisfied with Torlistine's decision-making efficiency, but was surprised that Toristin's local commander was Haotian. "He's not the captain of your escort, how can he be the commander-in-chief?"

An Lieta said with some pride and sweetness: "Haotian is now my Secretary of State, and he and I govern this country together. ”

"Really? I heard that he was a civilian more than a year ago, and now he is second only to you in this country. It's amazing. "Alice used to be hostile to Haotian, but after defeating Haotian, it disappeared, and now she is just curious.

"Well, Haotian is very capable. It's my trusted knight. ”

"Knights? Oh—" Alice said meaningfully.

Anrietta blushed and asked rhetorically, "What about you, Alice?" You're so beautiful, there must be a lot of aristocrats pursuing you. ”

Alice said disdainfully: "What kind of waste in the country? They all came for my appearance and status, and in terms of magic, I didn't even have a [triangular] level; On leading the army to fight and govern one side, it is an embroidered pillow. One by one, it is useless. However, some officers in the army are quite capable, but they are older, and some are married. ”

"Doesn't Alice have someone to look up to?" Anrietta asked in surprise.

"Someone who can be seen..." Alice remembered the humiliating seven days and seven nights, abducted, imprisoned, eaten, excreted and bathed under the pretense of being incontinent, and even incontinent by that bastard. Unforgivable, I'm going to kill him!! That back was firmly in Alice's heart.

"Alice? Alice? Ann Lietta called twice, and Alice came back to her senses.

"Oh, I don't want to be in a relationship yet. Maybe after I get my revenge, I can think about it. ”

"Revenge? Who can offend you? Angeletta wondered.

"Forget it, nothing. I'm going back to rest, and I'm going to wake up early tomorrow. ”

Alice left the Pavilion and returned to the residence of her valued guests in the palace.

Ann Rietta was a little concerned about Alice's words, but more concerned about the upcoming battle between the second and Goria.

After returning to the dormitory, Haotian and Louise and other women sat around the long table in the hall on the first floor, and the atmosphere was also a little dull. Tabasha, Turuk, and Louise were okay to be able to go south with Haotian, but Tifania, Eleanor, and Catlea were all very worried, and frequently looked at Haotian and kept remembering what to remind Haotian. Anrietta joined the bandwagon.

Haotian smiled bitterly and accepted the advice of the women one by one.

Upstairs, Alia, dressed in a white gauze dress, walked down. She has not been able to pick up weapons and armor because of Louise's [Mercy Attack], and she is afraid when she sees it, as a powerful enchanter who can defeat a [Triangle] magician, she should be very distressed. Now she is cared for by the maid of the Queen's bedchamber, like a noble girl who is weak.

"I heard you're going to war. Although I can't take up arms to protect you now, I hope it can protect you instead of me. Alia handed over a talisman woven with cyan silk threads, containing a high-purity wind stone that emitted a faint blue glow.

Haotian was slightly stunned, then smiled, took the amulet and took it into his arms.

"Well, thank you."

Alia nodded and returned upstairs.

The other girls had expressions of "why didn't I expect it" and "was preempted". It's too late to make amulets now.

Haotian and the girls hugged each other and said goodnight one by one, and then returned to the room to rest. He's going to have to wake up early tomorrow.

The girls chatted a few words and went back to their rooms. Some empty their heads and let themselves sleep, such as Louise, Tabasha, and Churuk; Some are worried about the sky and can't sleep at night, such as Anrietta and Tifania.
