On this day, the round table was held as usual, but the participants were no longer as relaxed and relaxed as before, but all had solemn expressions, and they knew at a glance that something big had happened.

"My king, this is the battle report we just received."

With a serious face, Bedwell handed Artoria a copy of the battle report he had just received.

Artoria took a quick look at it, and then handed the battle report to Zhou Xiaoning. Zhou Xiaoning is the same, after taking a look, he will pass it on to the next person.

In this way, one by one, after more than ten minutes, everyone read the battle report and knew about the massacre that took place at the border.

"It's finally here."

Artoria sighed secretly, she had experienced the same thing in the original history, so she didn't show too much shock.

"Zhuqing, what do you think about this matter?"

Artoria said with a blank face, which couldn't help but make the knights a little uncertain, not knowing what Her Majesty thought about this matter.

The silence lasted for a while, and finally Kai, who was still close to Artoria, took the lead in speaking: "My king, those invaders are really too hateful, but in three days, they burned and looted six of our villages, a small town, caused tens of thousands of casualties, and also robbed a large amount of food and property, this is simply a provocation to our Great Britain, so I beg my king to give me an order, let me lead three thousand kingdom troops to give those invaders a little color!" ”

Kai's words were a start, and immediately after, the other knights also asked for battle, and everyone looked indignant, as if the invaders were right in front of their eyes.

At this time, Artoria waved her hand, suppressing the angry voices of the knights. However, she didn't say anything immediately, but turned her head to look at Zhou Xiaoning and asked, "Xiaoning, what do you think?" ”

"Hehe, it's just a bunch of thugs who can't see that we're doing well, and want to take the fruits of our hands. For this kind of person, I will only do one thing, and that is - kill! ”

As soon as the words fell, a cold killing intent spread throughout the conference hall, causing all the Knights of the Round Table to shudder.

This is the first time that the knights of the round table have felt Zhou Xiaoning's power head-on, you must know that they are all the most outstanding knights, and they are not comparable to ordinary knights in terms of heart and strength. But even so, the moment they felt Zhou Xiaoning's killing intent, they all had the idea of not daring to be an enemy with him, this is simply an incredible thing, I'm afraid no one will believe it.

But fortunately, Zhou Xiaoning's killing intent was not released on the Knights of the Round Table present, so in addition to being startled at the beginning, he was able to resist it next.

"Your Excellency is right, you must not let those hateful invaders go!"

Lancelot slammed the table, because of the anger in his heart, he didn't spare this punch, if it weren't for the good quality of the round table built by Zhou Xiaoning himself, I'm afraid he would have been damaged this time.

"Yes, Lancelot is right."

"Defeat them!"

"Let them pay for their sins!"

Lancelot's words elicited a constant response from all the Knights of the Round Table, and in this way, the main tone of the meeting was set, that is, to send troops to destroy the invaders, but the specific number of troops to be dispatched, who to send to lead the army, and how to fight must be further discussed.

"How can it be enough to just defeat them, since they want to fight, just do it in one step, so that they will never dare to attack Great Britain again!"

When Zhou Xiaoning said this, he was full of confidence.

You know, the current Great Britain is very different from the one in the original history. Thanks to the high-quality seeds provided by Zhou Xiaoning and the agricultural reform, now Great Britain no longer has to worry about food, several major granaries in the country have been filled, even if the whole country no longer produces grain, those granaries alone can supply the consumption of the entire Great Britain for a year.

With so much food, Zhou Xiaoning naturally wouldn't let them sit like that, he only kept the reserves for half a year, and the remaining part was used to trade with neighboring countries, while the other part was used to train soldiers.

Zhou Xiaoning couldn't see the uneven aristocratic private soldiers for a long time, so the time had come, and he asked Artoria to recruit troops on a large scale in the country, and after layers of screening, he finally recruited 10,000 strong recruits.

After that, Artoria and the Knights of the Round Table can be responsible for all the training, and there is no need for Zhou Xiaoning to worry about it.

However, Zhou Xiaoning was not idle, all he had to do was to prepare weapons and equipment for these soldiers.

In terms of refining, Zhou Xiaoning has a little obsessive-compulsive disorder, and he wants to be perfect at all times. Since those soldiers are ordinary people, no matter how good things are, they can't exert their due power in their hands, so when Zhou Xiaoning was refining this batch of weapons and equipment, he used ordinary iron ore as the main material and a small amount of low-level materials, so as to refine 10,000 sets of full-body armor, and several other Western-style spears, long swords, bows and arrows.

By the way, the iron ore used in refining was dug by Zhou Xiaoning himself, otherwise with the mining capacity of Great Britain, it would be impossible to collect so much iron ore in two or three years.

Sophisticated equipment, perfect logistics supplies, high-intensity military training, under such circumstances, if an elite unit cannot be trained in two years, then Zhou Xiaoning and these people will simply wipe their necks and commit suicide, they really can't afford to lose that person.

According to the battle report from the front, the number of invaders this time is not large, only about 5,000, and after attacking the territory of Great Britain, they scattered and plundered, which is why so many places suffered, but Zhou Xiaoning and they did not receive the news until now.

In this way, the intention of the other side is obvious, this attack is only a temptation, if Great Britain cannot even resist this level of attack, then it means that this rich country has no threat, and then the enemy will invade on a large scale and completely occupy Great Britain.

And if there is stubborn resistance, the enemy can also roughly estimate the strength of Great Britain's army, so that the next combat deployment can be arranged.

So, in any case, a big war is inevitable.

Since they are going to fight, let's fight happily, you must know that the army they spent two years training is not a shrimp soldier and crab general, and it is time to pull it out and slip away!
