154. The leader who remains
"Your Majesty, I'm just saying that if there are really two or three hundred talented people among a thousand enemies, then it is indeed appropriate to send an army of 10,000 people, but in order to avoid mistakes in intelligence, how about more reconnaissance?" Rodney proposed, "Only scouting, and avoiding contact with the rebel subhumans." ”
If there were really so many sub-people, and there would be many auspicious deeds, Qiu Yi, who wanted to recommend Eddie Knight, remained silent for the time being.
"Please let me come, Your Majesty," Turner took the initiative to salute, "although I have not been in the front line for many years, the people who can protect you on the spot should stay." ”
Turner didn't know, but everyone knew that he was referring to the Rodney Knights, Minister Palmer, and the 20 Gifted Guards, and he seemed to be the most suitable person.
King Charles agreed, and ordered him to lead fifteen cavalry and reconnoiter quickly.
After Turner left, the ministers once again fell into a heated discussion about this matter.
King Charles left the long table with a nap, sat back on his throne, and spoke with Felicia, his words full of unfortunate views on the incident.
Felicia just agreed, sometimes glancing at Rodney, and finding that Rodney was also looking at herself... Or Your Majesty.
Qiu Yi put aside the discussion with several ministers, came to Rodney's side, and whispered, "I know what you're planning, Rodney Knight. ”
"What do you mean?" Rodney looked back calmly.
"10,000 soldiers, you can figure it out."
"This is a reasonable arrangement, Lord Qiu Yi only needs to go through a few battlefields to know, not just talk on paper."
"Don't be in a hurry to sarcastically mock me, although I am indeed a civil servant," Qiu Yi smiled disapprehantly, "And what I want to say is not that the arrangement is unreasonable, but the experience of leading this 10,000-person soldier, since the founding of the country, how many generals have commanded more than 10,000 soldiers?" It must be a supreme honor, both for Your Majesty and for your subjects and people. ”
"So Lord Qiu Yi thinks that who is the most suitable person to lead this army of 10,000 people at the moment, if the chief of the Turnar guard returns with clear news." Rodney curled the corners of his mouth rarely.
This made Qiu Yi feel very unhappy, as if he had been announced.
Qiu Yi snorted and left, pretending to look at Rodney to tell Rodney that it was not so easy.
After a while, the guards who entered the throne hall reported that everyone nervously thought it was Turner's news, but they didn't expect him to say that outside the palace, Xia Zuo was carrying a "harpy" and wanted to see His Majesty.
"It's an emergency, let him come back later... Moreover, although he was a guest of the royal palace, he could not bring the subhuman in anyway, let alone look like a monster. King Charles said. Recalling the performance of the "Harpy" gladiatorial arena, she is indeed a rare woman in Zebel City, but the limbs and wings of the transformed monster are really penetrating.
After a long time, everyone finally waited for the news of Turnard, not a message, but for him himself.
Turner entered the hall with his helmet in his arms, almost half of the blood on his armor, and every step of his left foot would leave bloody footprints on the hall floor, and the ministers covered their mouths in surprise.
Rodney glared too, feeling that it was too pompous... Maybe that's not what he's good at.
"Turner! How's it going!? People are still far away, King Charles asked urgently.
"Your Majesty," Turnal said as he half-knelt in front of the king, panting again, making the king think that he might be old, "there are really a thousand sub-people, and there are many talented people, and the scouting team I brought with me, including the three of whom I only came back alive..."
Turner's expression became heavier and heavier, King Charles was dumbfounded for a moment, and the uneasy stone in the hearts of the ministers hung high.
"They did not hide, they were in the open riverbank without the trees, and they were not afraid that the king would send troops there." Turner added.
"Your Majesty, send troops quickly!" Minister Palmer stepped forward and pleaded, "Please let me go and sweep away those subhuman talents for you, and I will be able to defeat them in forty years of magical learning!" ”
"We have to send troops sooner, so that they don't have a change of power, and the night is long and dreamy..."King Charles raised his eyes in a trance, but began to hesitate again when he thought about letting Palmer go.
"Minister Palmer is still staying," Qiu Yi seemed to speak to the King's heart, "His Majesty the King and the eldest princess need great strength to protect, and their assassination may be more than just a gladiatorial arena. ”
"You're right, Qiu Yi." King Charles agreed, saying, "Whoever is the right one to lead the troops..."
King Charles glanced at Rodney and felt that keeping Palmer by his side might not be the greatest guarantee.
"Of course, neither can the Rodney Knights." Qiu Yi said first.
"Oh? Do you have the right person? ”
"It may sound selfish, but I think Knight Eddie deserves to be trusted."
"Your son." King Charles narrowed his eyes.
"Knight Eddie's swordsmanship is good, and the combat articles he has written have been praised by His Majesty many times, although he has only led troops to deal with small-scale conflicts in the past, but his strength, Your Majesty, you are also very clear, right?"
"Hmm," King Charles pondered.
"My proposal is to have the Kelsen knights lead the troops together." Qiu Yi added.
Knight Kelsen is an obscure white-haired old man in armor at the conference table, who has a lot of credit and combat experience in his youth, but because of his age, he is rarely included in the discussion.
"The combat experience of the Kelsen knights is really worth considering." The king thought for a moment and said. also thinks that Rodney and Palmer should stay in the royal capital to guard, and the safety of himself and Felicia is the most important, even if there is a necklace given by Sangilf, it is impossible to tell when that thing will go wrong.
Qiu Yi tried hard several times, 10,000 troops against the Asians, and there was no result for a while, with the Knight of Kelsen, the battle situation information will be transmitted back in real time, even if the king and the ministers are strategizing, they can also adjust in time.
King Charles nodded, and Qiu Yi completely convinced the other ministers.
Eventually, his request was granted, allowing his son, Knight Addy, to lead the army.
"His Majesty the King is clearly decided~" Qiu Yi turned around after saluting and cast a smug look at Rodney, as if declaring that he had won this time.
Rodney buried his head and bowed slightly to admit defeat, but judging from his expression, it didn't seem to be reassuring him.
The king's edict was issued, and it was brought out by the Knight of Kelsen, and in his old age, he still meticulously received the order, and his steps were very upright.
Now it's time to wait for the good news.
Rodney and his party were required by the king to stay in the palace and avoid any emergencies, despite the fact that the castle was heavily guarded from the outer walls to the interior.
"Minister of Magic Palmer, all the mages of the Ministry of Magic, and twenty gifted guards..."Rodney suddenly wandered around the hall in a leisurely manner, counting them, "All right, these are the strongest combat forces of the Andu Kingdom, gathered together, all within my sight." ”
"You're right, I'm relieved to have you here." King Charles replied with a smile. I don't know why Rodney suddenly said this.
Rodney was joined by Chief Guard Turner, who pushed open the door to the throne room, leaving it open so that Rodney could see every soldier standing outside the hall.
"So, if the strongest combat power is all gone all at once...", Rodney raised his hand, and ten portal circles were generated in front of those soldiers.
