With the unremitting efforts of the Warring States, Karp, who had originally planned to go to sea in three days, somehow changed his mind. This naval hero, who likes to run around, strangely feels that staying in the Navy Headquarters for another month is also a good choice!

"Warring States is worthy of being my comrades-in-arms who came out together, reliable, not only gave me this good idea, but also told me that when I was fine, I could go to the training ground of the headquarters and train those recruits to kill time!"

"Sengoku is really my good brother! In comparison, Marshal Kong is so unkind, he knows that he threatens me every day! Karp poured the rest of the doughnut into his mouth and left satisfied.

Although the nervous lieutenant general vaguely felt that something was wrong, it was his best friend Sengoku who said this, and Sengoku not only pointed out the pros and cons to him, but also came up with a good idea to kill time.

So Karp was just a little puzzled, grinned, and swaggered away.

Toronto

As the old king's order spread throughout half of the North Sea, in the past half a month, there have been more and more miscellaneous people in Duolun.

It's not just civilians who try to go out as often as possible, but even Shuster they try to go out as little as possible.

Now the royal city of Duolun is in chaos. The time of the fight and brawl happens every day.

Moreover, the quality of this generation of pirates, samurai, and ronin is really too low.

They have no spirit, no faith! Almost all of them took a fancy to the rich conditions proposed by the old king, so they came to join in the fun.

And after coming to this rich country, they even took chicken feathers as arrows and fully exploded their destructive power!

What's even more terrifying is that the strength of the Duolun Kingdom is not enough to suppress these samurai who are running around the country.

Even though these samurai are hostile to each other and regard each other as opponents, they are all very sensitive to the policies of this country and this royal family, and once the royal family does something that threatens them, these ronin, who were originally separated, will gather together to fight against this country

And this led to a result, the soldiers did not dare to take action, did not dare to fulfill their duty to protect their homes and defend the country! People are afraid to go out and can only huddle in their homes.

And the outsiders who originally belonged to this country, these samurai, the disguised pirates, are having an unprecedented in this rich country!

In the palace, the old king sat on the throne, squinting his eyes and watching the courtiers below arguing.

The people who were able to enter this palace were all nobles, and they had a lot of property and wealth in the country.

"Your Excellency the King, these warriors are so rude that they took a fancy to the knives in the weapons shop, and they just snatched them, and they didn't even give them money."

"Your Excellency, a few days ago, my son went out, but he encountered two groups of samurai fighting, they hurt my child, not only did they not apologize and compensate, but even injured all of my son's guards!"

"Your Excellency the King, these people come to our country, they don't pay at all, they rob what they see, and now there are no civilians willing to send vegetables to my estate, I have eaten stale vegetables for three days!"

"Your Excellency, the King...."

“.......”

The main hall of the royal palace is a mess, like a real vegetable market.

The old king leaned back on his throne with half-squinted eyes, and he subconsciously glanced at the position of his right hand, where a large man used to stand.

But now, it's empty, it's empty!

The old king looked at the arguing nobleman, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly, only because the folds on his face were so dense that the curvature was not even revealed, and was covered by overlapping folds.

"Karen, you're right! I used to be too naïve, it turned out that only force is the foundation of our country! ”

The old king laughed at himself, looked at the people below, and scolded: "Enough! ”

The old man's calm voice echoed through the hall.

The nobles, who had been complaining below, slowly stopped arguing, and they set their eyes on the throne again.

"I already understand what you're talking about."

"Minister of Finance, after this incident, you are responsible for counting the losses of each family, and I will appropriately increase the proportion of the next shipment according to the situation!" The old king said, turning his head slightly, looking at a pot-bellied nobleman.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The richly dressed nobleman walked out of the queue and said with a smile on his face.

The old king nodded and continued, "Three days later, on the first day of the next month, the competition will be held!" ”

"This time, I'll choose Clancy's teacher and at least twenty samurai who can be used for us!" The old king said, and his tone gradually became stern: "So, I hope that in three days, you can send your elite soldiers to help me maintain the order of the game to prevent accidents." ”

"Yes!" The surrounding nobles replied tremblingly.

The old king glanced at the crowd below, and was helped away by the guards. At the same time, these nobles, after the old king left, gave their acquaintances a look, and several people gathered in a group to talk about something.

The old king, who left the main hall of the palace, returned to his bedroom. The young archsteward Colin, who was directing the maids, took off the old king's court clothes and put them on casual and comfortable clothes.

Colin straightened his back and stood respectfully beside the old king, no different from before, except for a slightly furrowed brow that betrayed his thoughts.

"Colin, let's go see how the chief of the guard is recovering!" The old king took off his crown and changed into a loose lounge suit.

"Yes! Your Majesty! Colin bent respectfully, and his slim black dress made him even more polite, well-mannered, and well-mannered.

"Hey! Colin, the only thing I don't like about you is this, if you have any questions, just say it, can you hold it in your heart? The old king sighed and said helplessly.

Colin frowned, followed the king on the corridor, and said, "Your Majesty, didn't you say before that you would spread the news of recruiting teachers for His Royal Highness Clancy all over Beihai, and then select them?" ”

"But now, only half a month has passed, and there are still a large number of seas that don't know the news, why are you so impatient to hold the competition?"

The old king glanced at the entourage following behind him, waved his hand, and let them leave, only then did he show a wry smile and say to himself: "When Karen was here, I didn't realize the importance of force, and I concentrated on developing the economy!" ”。

"But now, Clen is lying in bed unable to move, without enough force to support her! In just half a month, I couldn't bear it! ”

"After all, our country is too rich and too weak!"
