The palace hall, which was as lively and noisy as a vegetable market, instantly quieted down, and it was no secret that the relationship between the two prime ministers of the empire was incompatible. Now that the right side and the left side are singing a duet, it is obvious that the relationship between the two sides has reached the point of irreconcilability. The ministers who were eager to perform in front of the left prime minister just now suddenly quieted down, and the blood full of righteous indignation became no longer so boiling. As the saying goes, it's best to wait and see what happens.

Left-hand Prime Minister Oviedo, who was very satisfied with his sensational performance just now, suddenly turned ugly on the ground.

"What do you mean, Lord Right, are you still afraid of those beasts?" said Orviedo, scoffing.

"Lord Zuo, I'm not afraid of anyone, I'm just planning for the people of the world. You must know that when a war is a war, it is always the people who suffer! Susby replied coldly.

"Hmph, this time it was the beasts who took the lead in the invasion, and we didn't take the initiative to provoke the incident!" said Ao Weiduo aggressively.

"It's not about who is right and who is wrong! The relationship between the Beamon Empire and our Byzantine Empire is clear there, and this kind of small-scale harassing attacks occur from time to time in our two countries! I know that last year on the western border, a brigade of our light cavalry entered the territory of the orcs to harass and plunder, but was beaten back and almost annihilated. And this time the orcs of more than 2,000 wolf cavalry attacked us, but they beat us to the ground, compared to the two, the contrast is so strong, I don't even know what the 300,000 garrisons on our western border are for?" Susby sneered.

"What are you eating, Lord Right, this statement of yours seems to be an insult to the Imperial soldiers!" Oviedo snarled sharply.

"Hmph, the performance of the garrison on the western border this time is obvious to all. Over the years, the armament on the border has been slackened, and the combat effectiveness of the army has been sharply weakened, and if we only know how to blindly protect and do not make up our minds to put things in order, I am afraid that we will suffer even more at that time!" said Susby's face sank, and he said without giving in.

"But we can't let those orcs go so easily, and I think the western garrison should immediately launch a massive retaliatory action to wash away their shame. Oviedo's face grew more and more ugly. Although he used the sacrificed soldiers to sensationalize just now, to be honest, he also thought that the performance of the western border garrison this time was really bad.

"Lord Zuo, what do you think we can do if we have a big chance of letting a combat-free army attack the orcs who have been on guard for a long time? Do you want us to lose face again?" said Susby mockingly.

Without waiting for Oviedo to retort, Susby shouted to everyone in the main hall again: "Holy God, we will definitely let those barbaric orcs be punished the most severely, but not now. The profound lesson we have learned from this border incident is that we must reorganize our armaments, strengthen our military strength, and wait for an opportunity. When the time comes, we'll make the beasts double as they did today. ”

As he spoke, Susby slowly looked around the audience and said word by word in a tone full of enchantment: "I firmly believe that under the guidance of the Holy God, mankind will definitely defeat the barbarian orcs and spread the gospel of the Holy God to the west of the Norsenheed continent. ”

There was silence in the palace hall. A moment later, the ministers exchanged heads and whispered to each other.

"What the right minister said makes sense!"

"Yes, it's still the right minister's foresight. ”

"The insight of the right minister is really beyond our reach!"

"If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan. "Search for e-books

......

The voices in the palace hall gradually became louder again.

"Well, the performance of the Western Garrison is really disappointing. ”

"Oh my God, 2,500 orcs can run rampant on our western border, invincible, and even once captured Otto, the capital of Huffington Province, which we have heavily guarded! This is unbelievable! This is a great shame for the western garrison!"

"We have lost 20,000 people, and I heard that the orcs have lost 600 men, what is the battle loss ratio?

"James should be removed!"

The ministers were talking nonsense. In the end, the young emperor, who had no opinion, saw that his opinion of supporting the right minister prevailed, and finally ordered not to take large-scale war action against the orcs, but only ordered the entire garrison on the western border to be put on maximum alert.

In addition, the Supreme Commander of the Western Frontier Garrison, Senior General James, was temporarily suspended from his duties, and an investigation team sent from the Privy Council would depart on the same day to investigate the details of the defeat of the Imperial Army on the Western Frontier.

When His Majesty the Emperor's decree was issued, Oviedo, the left minister, left the palace with a blue face, and the emperor's twin brother, Prince Ulysis, also left the palace with a strange expression.

Although it was the end of winter and the beginning of spring, it was rare for a strong spring snow to fall in Catalan last night. Although the heavy snow has stopped this morning, the streets have been covered with a layer of snow.

A splendid carriage, escorted by several knights in front and behind, drove slowly through the snow. Prince Ulysis sat in the carriage and was meditating with his eyes closed.

For nearly 100 years, the state of Byzantium has deteriorated and has long since ceased to be strong. In particular, the few principalities in the empire, large and small, were even more alienated from the Selassie family, often disobeying the emperor's orders, and their independence was already obvious. However, the emperor of the current empire, his twin brother, is a cowardly man, and has no way to govern the country, and all he knows is greedy for beauty and indulges in the artistic life he loves, such as painting and music, and does not care about the various crises facing the country at all. The emperor's weakness and inattention to political affairs not only made the princes of the principality who were far away from the emperor more and more arrogant, just look at the ministers of the court at today's court meeting, they were still loud and noisy in front of the emperor, and there was no trace of awe and fear of the emperor at all. The decline of imperial power is really the sorrow of the Selassie family!

The internal troubles have not been eliminated, and the external troubles have arisen again.

In recent years, the orcs of the West have been on the move, constantly harassing the borders of the empire. Perhaps, the time had come for Byzantium to be led by a new and powerful emperor to bring the country back together. Of course, the new emperor must be from the Selassie family.

Prince Ulysses felt the heat surging all over his body, and his closed eyes opened. In the carriage, the fire in the charcoal stove used for heating also seemed to burn more vigorously.

It's bound to be an eventful one!
