Chapter 58 Round Table
Although Tianxing has never even been out of the county seat, its reputation has spread far and wide.
Thousands of miles away, the royal capital was discussed and even debated in the imperial court.
In the middle of the magnificent military and political hall was a huge round table, and in front of the round table sat dozens of military and political ministers who held the power and destiny of the entire kingdom, each of whom had been in the top position for a long time, and had a powerful aura.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is a gratifying thing that General Pompey was able to discover berserkers in remote mountain villages thousands of miles away, and it is still a blessing for the country that under the wise governance of Your Majesty, there has been a blowout of talents in the kingdom.
There had been no berserkers in the kingdom for decades, and this Skywalker Carter was still the son of Carter, a veteran of the high-ranking fighters who had participated in the Battle of Youzhou nearly twenty years ago, and had a deep sense of belonging to General Pompeii.
It is very reasonable to assign it to the commander of Pompey, the first regiment of the first army of the expeditionary force, and his growth is also very fast, and he will definitely obey the management. ”
Sitting at the top of the round table, the first seat on the king's left-hand side, an old man dressed in white respectfully suggested to the king on the right-hand side.
Although he did not wear armor, his iron-blooded temperament could not be concealed, and he must have been a decisive soldier when he was young.
Click......
Sitting at the top of the round table, dressed in a golden robe and a crown, the imposing middle-aged king tapped his fingers lightly on the table, thinking about the proposal of his old general.
"Your Majesty, the minister has something to do. ”
As the king was thinking, in the first seat to the lower right, an old man with the smell of a scroll spoke.
"Oh, Chancellor Charles, what is the matter with you?" said the king, who had been interrupted from his train of thought, without showing any change in emotion.
"Your Majesty, Wei Chen thinks that it would be better for the Skywalker Berserker to be in the second army. ”
"Why is that?" the king wondered.
"The 1st Regiment of the First Army, as the vanguard regiment, was its most dangerous queue and had the highest mortality rate, and its soldiers were all veterans of a hundred battles.
The Skywalker Berserker is a rare talent with great potential, but after all, he is only fourteen years old, lacks combat experience, and has not yet grown to the peak.
If you sharpen and sharpen it in the second army, and when its ability is further improved when it becomes an adult, it can also exert more powerful power if you send it to the front line. ”
Charles analyzed on the side, and the king also nodded slightly.
The old man in white on the left-hand side suddenly became anxious when he saw the king's tendency to agree with what Charles said.
I couldn't wait for the report to speak directly: "Your Majesty, I think what Minister Charles said is only one aspect, you know that I am a military general, so I know more about what is the fastest way for a warrior to grow when he wants it most."
A warrior with lofty ideals must want to go to the most dangerous places, to sharpen himself, to stimulate his maximum potential.
Never hide in comfort for fear of danger, this is not a warrior, this is a coward. I believe that the Berserkers of Skywalker Carter must also want to go to the first regiment of the first army, which is the most dangerous and fastest-growing one. ”
"Old General John, it is not a gentleman's work to interrupt His Majesty's thoughts without permission. Charles saw that the old adversary on the other side had easily disrupted his thinking about giving himself to His Majesty, and immediately sneered.
"Hmph, I'm a knight, not a sissy gentleman. Of course, the old general is not a vegetarian, he retorted.
"You... You old ruffian......" Charles was so angry that he was about to smoke...... This is really a show to meet the soldiers, and it is unreasonable to say.
"Alright, you two don't have to argue, I've already made up my mind. It is up to him to choose which legion the Skywalker Berserker will go to, and it is also a choice of his own path to take in the future. ”
The king, who was not angry and arrogant, increased his tone slightly, and suddenly the two right-hand men did not speak, and nodded in support of the king's final decision.
Both General John and Chancellor Charles knew that this result was expected, and neither they nor the other party would allow this berserker with great potential to be easily co-opted by the other party.
Anyway, the next thing is up to their respective abilities, who can attract this berserker junior.
"Ministers, do you have any important things to report?" asked the king after the two ministers of humerus had finished arguing.
"Your Majesty, after nearly twenty years, this Western Barbarian Kingdom has begun to gather troops on the border of Youzhou again, and it seems that it wants to make a comeback.
However, the military gap between the Xiban Kingdom and my Sunset Kingdom is not large, and once the war starts, the most likely thing in the end is that both sides will be defeated, why do you still want to start a war knowing the result of both defeats? ”
In the middle of the round table, a general in armor spoke, and the rest of the ministers heard his voice and looked at the king at the top with confusion.
"Well, I was puzzled before, but a week ago, the spies lurking in the Western Barbarian Kingdom came with news.
The thirteen princes of the Xiban Kingdom broke through the realm of Doushi and entered the realm of Douzun, and are currently in retreat to stabilize the realm, once the realm is stabilized, they will definitely choose to go to war and invade the resource-rich Youzhou.
At present, the Xiban Kingdom is only gathering troops to the border and not attacking, just wanting to wait for their prince to stabilize the realm before attacking. The king explained.
"This ...... Douzun realm, how should this be good?"
"I heard that the Douzun realm can't be countered with crowd tactics......
......
Hearing the king's words, the whole hall was suddenly like an exploding pot, noisy and mumbling!
"Quiet, isn't it just a Douzun who has just broken through, not much more powerful than a senior fighter, what's there to be afraid of, we have so many fighters and magicians who are not vegetarians. ”
Hearing the words that were full of morale and destroying his own prestige, the old general John gave a cold drink, and the old general, who had accumulated prestige for a long time, made everyone suddenly end all kinds of voices.
"Everyone, even if there is a Douzun, as long as he dares to invade my Sunset Kingdom, he will definitely make him pay.
We have sent two corps of the expeditionary force to Youzhou, the first army led by General Henry John for the main attack, and the second army led by General Kebell Charles for logistical support and support.
Each army has 200,000 sergeants, a total of 400,000 troops, and new recruits are constantly being added to the expeditionary force, and it is possible to eventually assemble an army of more than one million.
The enemy country must not be allowed to move forward any further, step into the kingdom of the setting sun, and once the time is ripe, regain the lost territory. ”
The king at the top of the round table, a strong kingly domineering spirit emanated from all around. The ministers around them bowed their heads in their hearts.
"Yes, my John's family swears to defend the kingdom to the death, and will never let the enemy step into the kingdom of the setting sun. ”
"Yes, I, the Charles family, live and die with the kingdom. ”
Old John and Old Charles, who were still arguing just now, also resolutely defended it when they saw the king's determination.
Both of them knew very well that the struggle between the two families and factions was based on the stability of the kingdom, and once the Sunset Kingdom was damaged, the two most powerful and powerful families and factions in the kingdom besides the royal family would also suffer the greatest losses.
Shortly after, the round table ended.
After everyone walked out of the military and political hall, the ministers of different factions gathered with each other to discuss various matters.
