When Arthur I received the battle report from Angard, Rao was dumbfounded when he heard this bad news, and the messenger brought Kai's reply: "Lord Grand Duke, Knight Kai feels that he has no face to see the Grand Duke, and is kneeling down outside the camp to plead guilty, and beg the Grand Duke to let him be the striker and make grass to pay for his sins." ”

"Well, what can be said then? Anged has suffered this great defeat, and the situation of the war with the barbarians will take a turn for the worse, so first call the Lord over. ”

After a while, after Kai and Lord Anged were summoned, Arthur announced the result of his punishment for the Anged defeat.

Arthur said to Kai: "Kai of Melochou, as the Overseer of Angad, you have not only been unable to stabilize Anged for a week in office, but even caused Anged to suffer a crushing defeat, which has caused the strategic situation of our army to deteriorate sharply, so you are not worthy of being an Overseer, deprived of all positions, and assigned to serve in the former army. ”

Kai knelt down on one knee, his face full of guilt: "Since you obey the orders of the Grand Duke, Kai will definitely atone for his crimes and live up to the name of a knight!"

After punishing Kai, Arthur turned to the Anged generals. If Arthur's face was still unhappy with the defeat and the iron-faced selflessness of impartial law enforcement when facing Kai, but when he looked at the Angled generals who were gloating, Arthur's face turned iron-blue, which was a sign of anger.

"Angled generals, you should know your sins!"

"Ah, what are I guilty of?" The Angad generals exploded, and you interjected every word, without putting the identity of Archduke Arthur in your eyes, especially the former Anged general, who occupied the identity of his elder and fought with Arthur:

"Grand Duke Arthur, everything was normal with Anged when I was the main general, and the Overseers suffered a crushing defeat as soon as they took office, so this Anged fiasco is clearly the responsibility of the Overseers......!

Seeing that the other party not only did not know the fault, but also tried to put the blame on himself, Arthur raised his eyebrows, stopped Kai who was trying to argue, and shouted to the generals:

"What a clever tooth, let me ask you, indulge the soldiers in the tea poison countryside, but is it your fault? If it weren't for you in the tea poison countryside, why would I set up an overseer? When Anged was defeated, you and other elite 'friendly troops were in trouble and did not move like a mountain', but there was a false report? Sit back and watch the defeat of the friendly army and even the defeat of Anged, but your fault? You dare to question me?"

Having heard of Arthur's strange personality before, and learned about Arthur's reputation through Keche's personal involvement, the Lord's patience with this wave of people has been exhausted, and he rebuked him back:

"Grand Duke Arthur! In the old man's opinion, you are completely ignorant of military affairs! If you don't indulge the soldiers in slaughtering the countryside, how can you maintain morale? If you don't maintain morale, how can you win the battle? If the Grand Duke doesn't set up such a prohibition for granted, the old man can also order the soldiers to act as usual, instead of letting the soldiers do this on the grounds that the walls are clearing!"

"Ridiculous! It is the duty of the people of my Principality of Melochu to defend our homeland and the country, so why should we maintain our morale by plundering? Are these soldiers raised by us warriors or bandits in military uniforms?"

The two of them have been arguing for so long, and the main general is also tired, and when he talked to Kai before, the main general understood that he and Arthur's so-called "knights" were in two worlds, so he didn't bother to argue:

"Then Archduke Arthur will build a knightly army that freezes to death without demolishing houses, starves to death without plundering, takes honor as the core, and defends the country as the purpose!

As soon as the main general retired, the other generals subconsciously wanted to leave, but Arthur shouted: "Go?

"Heh, according to Archduke Arthur's method of governing the army, the fiasco of Angled is an inevitable end, the old man just asked him to advance a little earlier, didn't he leave some elite for Archduke Arthur?

"According to the military order of the ancestor Melokyu, the army suffered a crushing defeat, and only cared about protecting itself, and those who did not move the friendly army in difficulty will be removed from their positions and investigated!"

"You are a hairy junior! You dare! You really believe in the evil of that knight! Are you going to break the rules of the nobles for thousands of years! Old man, see who dares to arrest me!"

The guards heard the roar of the commander, but Nono did not step forward, and Kai also knelt on one knee with his head bowed, and the defeated general was silent. Seeing this, Arthur drew out the sword in the stone and stepped forward: "Since no one is here to do it, then I will come personally!"

After the afternoon, an explosive news spread wildly in the military camp of the Duchy of Merochu in Karachi, that the former Admiral Angad had resisted the Grand Duke's arrest and launched an attack on the Grand Duke, only to be executed on the spot by the Grand Duke for disobeying military orders and committing a heinous crime.

After the execution of the former Angde generals, Archduke Arthur arrested most of the former Angde generals and imprisoned them, and only a few generals with a good attitude of admitting their mistakes, including Bao Guokai, were allowed to be sent to the former army and made meritorious contributions to the crime.

The news of the Anged fiasco came a few days ago, and as time went on, more and more people also knew about it, and the generals even knew about the process of the Anged fiasco.

After Arthur appointed Kai to Anged to oversee the army, Kai wantonly arrested the soldiers who poisoned Angde on the grounds of erecting the wall, and then ordered more than seventy percent of the generals to come back for investigation on charges of dereliction of duty, so that the entire Angdal people were panicked, and no one was in the mood to fight.

Somehow, a rumor spread among the imprisoned prisoners, and soon throughout Anged, that Kai was going to execute the arrested soldiers in order to establish his prestige. In the face of this rumor, although Kai issued an announcement to clarify the facts, it had no effect.

In order to protect themselves, some soldiers, under the tandem of bandits, acted as the barbarians' internal response, guiding the barbarians to take the opportunity to launch an invasion of Anged. Then, a large number of soldiers defected, smashed the cells everywhere, and released more disgruntled soldiers to besiege Anged.

In fact, at this time, with the strength of the official army, it was still possible to repel the invasion, after all, the seditions and rebellions were basically second-rate or even worse armies, really first-class troops, eating and drinking well, did not participate in the vertical wall and clear the wilderness, and were not affected by Kai's arrest.

However, most of these elite armies were commanded by the former Angde generals, who had long been resentful of Kai's measures, so when Kai began to mobilize troops for defense, they turned a blind eye to Kai's orders, and sat back and watched Anged be captured by the barbarians and mutinous armies, and even retreated directly in front of the battle, not attacking the enemy at all, and immediately left Anged and fled to Karachi.

It was under these circumstances that Anged's offensive and defensive battles ushered in a fiasco, and Anged became the first official main city to be captured by the barbarians.

With the fall of Angard, Arthur's strategic situation deteriorated to the point of no return, as it meant that the enemy could lay siege to the isolated Karachi from the north, west, and south, or to attack the rich Madeira area behind Karachi from the heavily defended Karachi.

What is in the surrounding area of Madeira? The suburban mansions of countless nobles, the ranches, farms, and breeding farms of countless nobles, the trade wars of countless chambers of commerce, if they are rushed in by barbarians, what will they do?

Once it really gets to that point, even if there are three artifacts, even if the talent is unparalleled, Arthur may only be forced to bow down from power.

Arthur immediately convened an emergency military meeting to discuss how to deal with the next battle situation and address the current threat after the fall of Anged.

"Lord Arthur, you should know this, the southern army can't move, so all the troops we can mobilize to fight the barbarians have been drawn here, no matter how hard you try to put it together, the number of troops that can be drawn is a drop in the bucket," At the meeting, the clerk first stated this frustrating reality, and the atmosphere on the field was condensed.

Some people may ask, what does it mean that the army in the south cannot move? Because the "Third East Coast War" had broken out at this time, most of the troops of the Principality of Merochou were deployed to the border or military points in case of accidents. These armies are very numerous, but they can't move.

This is also the reason why the Principality of Merochou will have such a hard time dealing with the barbarian attack this time, in addition to the former members of the Madeira Villain's Guild leading the way and selling intelligence, there is also the fact that the Principality of Merochou cannot spare all its energy to quell the rebellion, it must deploy enough elite troops on the border, and the various nobles in the south cannot be mobilized now, and must wait for the Third East Bank War to sweep through Gosamodor before mobilizing the southern army.

The armies of the north could only be relied upon to fight against the barbarians, which is why the Duchy of Merochou had such a hard time dealing with the barbarians this time...... One.

Another point is that the nobles were dissatisfied with Arthur's policy, so they collectively neglected the government in terms of army transfer, in order to coerce Arthur to abandon his policy. Arthur knew that as long as he abandoned the policy of those knights, even if he could not transfer troops from the south, the nobles could mobilize their own private troops to fight.

But Arthur just refused, and everyone at the meeting tacitly did not mention it.

"The existing army deployed in Karachi is enough to defend against the barbarians attacking from the direction of Sunifo and the south of the mountain range, in fact, even if the barbarians in the direction of Angad join the siege, with the command of Archduke Arthur, it is more than enough to block three directions. ”

This report was made by one of the four Knights of the Round Table who followed Arthur here, Ranmarlock, who was also very talented, second only to Arthur in strength in the Knights of the Round Table, and even Lancelot couldn't beat him.

After saying the happy aspect, Ranmaroch began to talk about the headache: "However, the fear is that the barbarians in the direction of Anged will not come to besiege Karachi, but will bypass Karachi to attack the vicinity of Madeira. It is not easy for the existing defenders of Karachi to stop the west and south directions, and if they want to stop the north again, I am afraid they will not be able to do so. ”

"The old man has a suggestion in this regard, why don't you release the Angde generals and let them lead Angard's defeated army to set up a defensive line in the north, so as to make meritorious contributions? ”

Among the generals in the camp, a member of the Merochu family made a suggestion, trying to exonerate the Angad generals, although the Anged generals have been executed, but there is one person who can be fished.

Hearing the other party's proposal, Arthur hesitated and was confused. The opinion put forward by the other party is indeed the best way to deal with it now, but if you agree to do so, isn't it a violation of the rules of chivalry?

Inadvertently, Arthur's hand touched the magic mirror, and the cold touch of the magic mirror reminded Arthur that Arthur still had a chance to summon Mentor Merlin, should he summon it? If Mentor Merlin can be summoned here, with the wisdom of Mentor Merlin, the existing problem will definitely be solved, right?

Suddenly, Arthur suddenly came to his senses, he realized that he should not summon, Tutor Merlin had taught him all the spirit of a knight, and he had promised not to summon Mentor Merlin because of difficulties that could be touched in reality, how could he break his oath here?

Although the idea of calling on Mentor Merlin tempted him like a demon, Arthur was determined to leave it behind. If you forget the oath of a knight after a difficulty, the degeneration of all the nobles in the world probably began like this, right? Therefore, you should not deviate from the path of knighthood, never!

But...... If you don't deviate from the path of knighthood and compromise with the ugly reality, what do you have to do to defeat the barbarians?
