Chapter 453: Preparing for War
At the beginning of the meeting, Cecil of course told everyone in detail about King Rex's intention to wage war against the Elok Empire, and told them that this place, as an eastern province bordering the Elok Empire, was about to become the main front in the east, and the two legions on his side were about to form an Eastern Front Corps with the Golden Knights to fight against the army of the Elok Empire.
Hearing this news, the whole audience exploded, and everyone was taken aback, the Soloran Kingdom has always been a very weak existence compared to the Elok Empire, and this time King Rex actually took the initiative to declare war on the Elok Empire, which is simply a suicidal act in the eyes of ordinary people, and no normal person would do such a crazy thing. Cecil and the others analyzed the king's thoughts and the current situation in detail, but everyone was still worried. After all, there is a huge gap between the national strength of the two sides, and the power struggle of the Eluk Empire that the king thinks is also very fierce, although it is true, but whether they can gather strong forces to wage a full-scale war against the Sauroran Kingdom is not up to the king. At that time, it is also very possible to steal chickens and rice.
And what made everyone even more angry, the king took such a big risk to carry out this matter, and he had to guard against Cecil internally, and even parachuted the Grand Knight of Osmond on his head, this kingdom's operation, almost all the logistics and supplies of this eastern front and the financial salaries and expenses of the soldiers came out of Cecil's territory, Cecil is the well-deserved leader of the Eastern Front, but the king actually parachuted a big knight over, and this bullying attitude is too obvious. Ryker said angrily: "Since the king wants the Grand Knight of Osmond to command, let all the expenses for this expedition be allocated by the kingdom, and we only need to pay the annual offerings to the kingdom. ”
Cecil waved his hand for Rekel to sit down, in fact he didn't know that the king was already a bit ugly by doing so. But Cecil was still full of anticipation for this war between the two countries, because he had a feeling that an unprecedented era of chaos was coming. The trend of this war may be beyond everyone's control, maybe not only the Kingdom of Thorolan and the Illuk Empire, the Orc Empire and other human kingdoms, but even the Elven Kingdom in the Mithril Forest and the Undead Guild of Dia in the far south may be involved, and the entire Lovalan Continent is likely to have a more tragic catastrophe than the last Hellgate War!
Cecil wants to see this happen, but he doesn't want to see this happen, because every time this happens, it means mass death for civilians, and every time there is a great chaos in history, there will be seventy or eighty percent of the population. For civilians, war is hell, endless Shura hell. But this era is a paradise for careerists, a paradise for adventurers. Cecil faintly felt that his ambition also began to swell, with the increase of his strength and power, his ambition also grew, maybe everyone is subconsciously ambitious, but when you are not strong enough, this ambition will be hidden in the deepest part of your heart, when you have the strength to achieve, he will rush to your heart.
Cecil pointed his finger at Requel to quiet him. He said quietly: "Anyway, we still have to obey the king's orders, Avella, you count all the money we have now, and then report the total amount to me, and then distribute it, you must take care of the logistics of the three knights during the war, this battle is a battle for the survival of the territory, the best king guessed correctly, we and the Erruk Empire can maintain a state of sit-still without a fight or discord." If there is a war, I'm afraid we need to prepare for the worst. ”
"Shall we allow His Majesty to make such a fuss? Don't we want to erupt to stop him? Rickel said angrily, "We have had a hard time, after several lives and deaths, to make the territory have the scale it has today, but because of the willfulness of His Majesty the King, it is likely to be ruined, I think we should let the king know, how can we be willing?" ”
"My territory was originally canonized to me by His Majesty the King, even if it was all wiped out for His Majesty the King, this is also the duty of the courtiers to the king, it is my responsibility, there is nothing to say about this, if you continue to say it, I will punish you!" Cecil brutally interrupted Rykel's grumbling and spoke sharply.
Rykel looked at Cecil in surprise, he hadn't seen him so angry since following the lord. Staying a little in place, Cecil actually didn't go for Rakel, in fact, his mind was actually the same as Raker, and he was actually very dissatisfied with King Rex's inexplicable start of this war, but since King Rex had decided, it meant that he had thought about it for a long time, and it was a fact that could not be changed. Before making a decision, everyone can put forward a variety of different opinions, but once the decision is made, everyone needs to work together to get things done, and there is no good end for both ends of the first mouse. What's more, the Blood Eagle Knights in front of him are not new to him, and the current attitude of Grand Knight Bartlet is ambiguous, he may not only collude with King Rex, but also may have a connection with King Lucas, the puppet king of the El Luk Empire, Cecil does not want to expose the contradiction with Prince Rex in his eyes.
Ryker didn't say anything under Cecil's high pressure, Cecil waved his hand and said, from now on, the entire city of Reela will enter a state of combat readiness, if I am not mistaken, His Majesty the King will issue an edict declaring war on the Iruk Empire in a few days, and all the troops of our Samara Province will be stationed on the border line with the Elok Empire, and we will set off in three days to station our troops on the front line, and I will also be stationed in the border city. ”
After hearing this, everyone said yes and withdrew. Cecil left Rakel alone and appeased him for a long time, after all, this kind of thing is too face-hurting, Raecel is also a seven-foot man, and he was reprimanded in public for not doing anything wrong, and it is inevitable that he will have some opinions in his heart, Cecil hurriedly appeased, after all, this is the earliest young man who followed him, and he has always followed him, and he can't break his heart.
