Chapter 248: The King's Speech
The Minister of War and Aircraft discussed the soldiers and supplies for this expedition, and even the preliminary strategy, and finally decided to gather 120,000 soldiers of the empire to rush to the front line, leaving 30,000 people to stay in various places to maintain law and order.
These 120,000 people are the number of the simple army corps, and as for the militia of all towns and towns, all of them sounded the alarm and participated in the maintenance of law and order.
At the same time, all the commercial lines in wartime have become material supply lines, and the supply lines of the Imperial Consortium extending in all directions do not even need to be protected by the military at all, and the Imperial Consortium itself has a good armed force, which is enough to ensure the safety of materials.
"The cathedral will send 10 bishops, 100 senior priests, and 500 probationary priests." Archbishop Melle lifted his glasses, which was the most powerful the cathedral could provide to the battlefield.
"The Mage Academy can send 2 seven-star mages, 10 six-star mages, 50 five-star mages and 200 three-star mages." Archmage Jordan sent almost all the combat power, leaving only some four-star mages to guard the holy city and maintain the operation of the mage tower, and the remaining one-star and two-star mages were too weak to have only one dead word on the battlefield.
Shen Fei represents MI7 and the Warrior Monk Zen Academy, MI7 doesn't need to say much, some things don't need to be talked about in the open, everyone knows it.
"The Warrior Monk Monastery will send elite disciples to participate in the war."
As soon as Shen Fei said this, everyone else gasped.
"Elder Shen, aren't you going to keep a little bit of the elite disciple Zhenmen?"
Both the Cathedral and the Mage Academy had some powerful mages or priests in charge, and Shen Fei actually chose to dispatch all the high-end combat forces.
Joshua looked at Barton beside him, and his face showed a smug expression, meaning that the regent he suggested was much more enlightened than the others.
Although Barton was angry with Shen Fei, this guy really had nothing to say.
"No, those inner disciples of the town gate are enough." Shen Fei replied flatly.
Everyone else shook their heads, and the division of the strength of the several major forces was very clear to each other.
The outer disciples of the Warrior Monk Monastery are mostly ordinary people who have just come into contact with the way of the warrior monks, and the inner disciples begin to study the moves and Zen principles in order to be regarded as "beginners", and when they reach the elite disciples, they can be said to be proficient and have the power to fight.
It's just that since Shen Fei, as the Supreme Elder of the Zen Academy, has already made a decision, it is not easy for outsiders to interfere, at most they can think twice.
The Imperial Consortium is all the Countess's own mercenaries, and it is difficult to go to the battlefield, so the mercenaries of the Imperial Consortium are mainly responsible for the security of the grain and grass transportation lines to prevent enemy spies from causing trouble and sabotage.
"Uncle Shen, you are now the regent, and the drafting of the text will be handed over to you." Joshua didn't say a word, and arranged a task for Shen Fei.
Shen Fei shook his head and refused.
"This is a battle between the Human Empire and the Orc Empire, and you, as the only heir to the royal bloodline, must stand up! It's your birthright responsibility. I can help, but you can't shirk your responsibility. ”
The smile on Joshua's face froze, then faded and his expression became sincere.
"I'm sorry Uncle Shen, I was dissolute, and I will write the essay, and Uncle Shen will assist at that time." Joshua had a good attitude, although he would definitely not be able to go to the front line at his age, but it was his responsibility and obligation to do what a prince should do seriously.
"Time is pressing, the First and Second Legions will go out tomorrow morning, and the pledge meeting will be held in Gospel Square."
Joshua knew that Uncle Shen was saying this to him, which meant that he should write the essay tonight.
After the meeting was adjourned, all the leaders went to hurry up and explain the arrangements, and the war was really coming this time!
Shen Fei also returned to the Warrior Monk Monastery and convened a meeting of all the disciples of the Monastery to inform him of important matters about the war.
"The First and Second Legions will leave tomorrow, and the disciples of our Warrior Monk Monastery will set off in five days, together with other forces. These five days are your last training time, so I approve that elite disciples can enter the Shushan Trial, and at the same time, there will be one PUBG Trial every day. Of course, inner disciples and elite disciples can sign up. ”
After listening to Elder Taishang's words, the inner disciples all had tangled faces.
During this time, they felt that their strength had improved a lot, and now if they set up a ring, they were really not afraid of the so-called elite disciples.
These inner disciples have all touched the essence of the King of Fighters trial, and now they are slipping more and more than one by one. Zhao Hao and Luo Feng, who are now making the fastest progress, are stuck in the final boss Orochi, and most of the others are stuck in the Mad Demon Yagami Nunnery or the Mutated Three Days King.
To tell the truth, the inner disciples all know in their hearts that with their current strength to break through the illusion trial, it is definitely a breakthrough, just say that the current floating combo, they can give you three or four sets on the spot, and some people have invented a combo that specializes in the next three sets, and the monsters of the illusion trial are afraid that they will not have a chance to shoot at all, and they will be wiped out.
"Why can't our inner disciples go to the front line! I think with my strength, I can take out a lot of orc mongrels at the front! ”
"Those elite disciples are not necessarily stronger than us!"
After the trial of Shushan, these inner disciples have really swelled, and now they dare not to take the elite disciples in their eyes.
However, this is also normal, just say that the warrior monk's skill combo is only circulated in the circle of inner disciples, and the elite disciples don't know about it at all.
Shen Fei heard the chatter inside the inner door, and all the elite disciples, including the elite disciples, glared angrily.
This class of inner disciples is too bad, right? I haven't even experienced the Illusion Realm Trial, and I actually look down on the elite disciples, who gave you the courage?
Shen Fei glanced at the "righteous indignation" disciples in the audience, and said with a smile: "The battle on the front line is fierce, but the stability of the rear is also very important. I keep you inner disciples as a wonder soldier in the Holy City. The front line is scorched, and the enemy will definitely find a way to do things in the rear, so that we can't take care of each other.
During the war, you can't bury your head in the Shushan trial like before, you need to patrol all over the holy city every day, and report any abnormal information immediately. ”
Hearing that there was also work in the Holy City, the inner disciples finally stopped complaining, and the expressions on their faces turned into wishing that there was civil strife in the Holy City, and they could solve it.
Shen Fei was speechless for a while, this group of guys seems to have been too jumpy recently, do you need to suppress it?
Shen Fei didn't go to the three elders, knowing that the three old guys were all preparing for reincarnation. Reincarnation is very complicated, and there must be no sloppiness in any link, otherwise there will be no way to awaken the memories of the past life at that time.
Shen Fei found Fuman.
"Fuman, the Warrior Monk Monastery will be handed over to you when I am away, and the three elders are preparing for reincarnation, so they are probably too busy. You are a Zen son, and you also have a very important identity in other forces, so you should pay more attention to the affairs of the Holy City. If the Zen Monastery can't solve it, use your identity to contact other forces to solve it. ”
Fuman's face was flustered, and he wanted to cry: "Young master, don't you take me with you when you go to the front?" ”
Shen Fei looked at Fuman, the front line is not a joke, it will kill people. Although a child of destiny like Fuman will definitely be fine, there is a case for everything. Before, Shen Fei felt that Lucien was the child of destiny, so he disappeared like this?
Moreover, as soon as these powerful main forces left, the Holy City's defenses would be very weak, and some people would presumably show their minions......
"What do you want, I'll leave you behind to be of great use!"
Shen Fei hugged Fuman, this fat man is very good anywhere, but he has a little glass heart, as soon as he said that he would not take him to the front line, this guy doubted whether he was useless, and Shen Fei wondered if he had done something wrong, and he had a feeling that he was a bad person.
"There is a force in the Holy City that is not good for Joshua, and wants to take advantage of the war between humans and orcs to his disadvantage! The purpose of keeping you in the Holy City is for you to take care of your junior brother, and you must be on your own when the time comes! The most important thing is that I don't trust anyone else after I'm gone, so this important task can only be handed over to you! ”
Hearing that the young master had given him such an important task, he was full of happiness.
Crying.
"Young master, don't worry, I will definitely protect my junior brother and don't let the villains succeed!"
Shen Fei patted him on the shoulder and said, "Didn't you always want to enter the Shu Mountain Trial to experience it?" In the past few days, I will go in with the elite disciples and try it. ”
When the war comes, it is difficult for soft-hearted and too innocent people to resist the past, and it is time for Fuman to see the blood and exercise.
In the midst of the intense busyness, time passed quickly.
Early the next morning, everyone arrived at the Gospel Square.
This is the largest square in the Holy City, which can accommodate 100,000 people at the same time, and the high platform rises overnight.
Because of the venue, many people and players were not able to attend, but the Mage Academy had already thought of a way to spread it by collecting sounds, amplifying them with the Mage Tower, similar to the effect of broadcasting.
There are not many players in the Holy City, on the one hand, because most of the players have already left the Holy City to carry out the mission after receiving the mission; On the other hand, the people of the Holy City were more concerned about this matter, so they came to the scene early to wait.
Early in the morning, there were many people standing in the square wrapped in quilts, especially many older people standing in the front row.
These are human veterans who fought in World War I forty years ago.
No one thought that the happy and stable life that he had spilled his blood back then would suffer the scourge of war in the blink of an eye.
The only difference is that it is not King Lucien standing on the stage today, but the son of the king, the little prince Joshua.
Joshua didn't have stage fright.
Originally, he hoped that Shen Fei would preside over today's conference, so that the identity of the regent could become the protagonist.
But what Uncle Shen said made him feel enlightened, the reason why the empire is an empire is because of the royal blood.
This is his responsibility and obligation, and there is no escaping it.
Joshua took a deep breath, walked to the front of the stage, and looked at his father and the people in the audience.
"Father...... Missing. ”
Joshua's first words caused an uproar in the audience.
The face of the Minister of Military Aircraft on the stage changed abruptly, and they asked Joshua to speak in order to boost the morale of the army and the people, and to share the same hatred at the most difficult moment, but Joshua's first sentence poured cold water on everyone.
Grand Duke Ferdinand wanted to step forward to stop him for the first time, but was stopped by Shen Fei with his hand raised.
"Elder Shen, do you know that saying such things before going out will ruin morale!" No one knows more about morale than Grand Duke Ferdinand, who is more important than anything else on a frontal battlefield.
"I believe Joshua."
Shen Fei didn't say much, from the previous chat between him and Joshua, to Fat Tiger telling him that Joshua was "plotting" him to become regent. Shen Fei knew that he was not as ignorant as he seemed on the outside, on the contrary, because of the loss of his father, he matured early, and he was also exposed to politics, trade-offs and other things in advance.
Joshua, in fact, is a very mature child, but the others present still think of the little prince as a flower in a greenhouse.
Joshua ignored the conversation of the few people sitting next to him, and paused to continue.
"My father disappeared and I felt like the sky was falling. I used to think that my father was really just missing, but as the days went by, he didn't show up. I once looked in the mirror and saw the light of expectation in my pupils fading. This is a child's most sincere hope for his father.
I know that it's not just me, everyone in the empire wants that brave and temperamental man to return, how many people have the same dream as me, hoping that when they wake up, King Lucien will appear in the Holy City again......
But as I grew older, I realized that my father would not come back when I woke up. Fortunately, there are still important ministers like the Grand Duke in the empire, who supported the operation of the empire with their own bodies, and then the appearance of Uncle Shen, the name I have heard countless times from my father's mouth, they established the first federation of mankind together, so that the weak human race a hundred years ago gathered the first strength......
I am a child of my parents, and all of you here are also children of parents, or parents of children.
My mother left when she gave birth to me because of difficult childbirth, and my father disappeared inexplicably, and I haven't heard from me for three years. Although I am the envy of a little prince, how I wish I could use this title to exchange for my father and mother!
Now the greedy and bloody orcs are once again attacking Lakstark, sharpening their knives and trying to break through Owendale and enter the rich territory of the human empire, burning and plundering all kinds of evil. Their attack will be even more ferocious this time than it was forty years ago! It will be better prepared than it was forty years ago!
To be honest, I was scared!
Everyone is scared, and there is no one who is not afraid.
Even King Lucian, who everyone thought was invincible, once told me the story of that time in the royal palace, and said that he was also afraid on the battlefield. I once asked him why he was so scared, but he still brandished his sword and rushed ahead of everyone. He replied that because he had something behind him to protect, more important than his life!
I'm only a nine-year-old kid who has never been on the battlefield or even seen a lamb slaughtered. I'm so scared now more than my father......
I said yesterday that I wanted Uncle Shen, who is the regent, to be the initiator and caller this time.
But Uncle Shen said something that made me change my mind.
He said that he could assist from the side, but today's speech must be done by me, because this is the responsibility and obligation of the royal bloodline, and it is also fate!
Yes, I have Lucian's blood in my veins, I am a descendant of the royal family, and the protection of humanity is something that melts into my blood, even if I am a hundred times thousands of times afraid, I must take my responsibility!
Soldiers, behind you are wives and children, and you are children!
I'm nine years old, but the Regents agree that I can't go to war. It's a pity that I can't fight with the fighters. But in front of everyone, I can also make my promise, in case Owendale is broken, the human empire will be in turmoil, and the blood of the empire will never retreat!
Behind you are us, the old and weak, women and children. When the orcs come to the city, I will stand in front of everyone to meet the enemy! Behind me are all humans, Lucian's bloodline, never back! ”
Joshua said, drew his great sword from his waist, and raised it high with one hand.
"Fight to the death!"
The Grand Duke, Shen Fei, and Countess all drew their swords, and Jordan and Mailer had already raised their staffs.
The veterans standing at the front of the stage were teary-eyed, and in the vague sight of the children on the stage, the figures of the children on the stage gradually overlapped with King Lucien, and gradually became a person.
"Your Majesty!"
The veterans cried loudly.
All the people in the audience clenched their fists and stretched them out in the air.
At this moment, the entire holy city kept floating two words.
Fight to the death!
Fight to the death!!
Death Battle!!
