Holy Dragon City.

Command of the Dynasty Army.

Counting this battle of the city's defense, this is already the twentieth post-war meeting.

Compared to the first meeting, there was still some optimism, and by now, the entire conference room was filled with a depressing atmosphere, especially Ocassos's face had no expression at all.

And rightfully so.

Although so far they have repelled twenty siege battles of the Holy Dragon Kingdom.

But if you dig deeper, the retreat of the Holy Dragon Kingdom is not their credit, but the Holy Dragon Kingdom took the initiative to withdraw from the city after breaking through the city gate and handed back the defense line to them.

They even thought for a moment that this was the Holy Dragon Nation's way of draining their forces.

But later, when they got the information, it turned out that the Holy Dragon Kingdom was very afraid that this was an ambush set by Vega, so even if they broke through the city gate, as soon as the time for magical defense came, they would immediately retreat under the cover of the flank troops, and they did not dare to stay for a long time.

Isn't this report too ridiculous?

Their battle plan is like a joke, and in the end, they actually have to rely on the residual power of the previous commander to hold the city, doesn't this mean that their entire army of 500,000 people is not as effective as the residual power of Vega alone?

"When do you think His Royal Highness will return to power?"

A major general and division commander sitting at the end complained to a lieutenant general and division commander next to him in a low voice: "It's been almost twenty days, and we haven't even seen His Royal Highness in person, and if we continue like this, we won't be able to defend the Holy Dragon City." ”

"Alas, the soldier's confidence is running out. ”

The lieutenant general and division commander frowned: "Without the personal command of His Royal Highness the Prince, we can't win against the Holy Dragon Kingdom at all, that is a terrible existence with 400,000 soldiers, the millions of troops of the empire are being defeated and retreating, not to mention that we still fight more with less this time, Lord Ocasus should not think that he has participated in a few battles, and he has the strength of His Royal Highness the Prince, right?"

"I'm still a layman after all. ”

The division commander of the major general sighed: "If you can't realize that there is a gap between your command ability and His Royal Highness, then not only this war, but I am afraid that we will suffer defeat in the next war." ”

“......”

The two discussed in a whisper.

But this is actually a microcosm of the whole army.

After tasting the glory of victory, and then letting them suffer defeat, naturally some people are dissatisfied with this.

At first, he could rely on the prestige of the star mage and the queen's ministers to suppress it, but prestige is something that will slowly be consumed with continuous failure, and due to the continuous wrong decisions, Ocasos is no longer trusted at the top.

Bang!

A middle-aged general no longer seemed to be able to suppress the anger in his heart.

He slammed his fist on the conference table and said to Queen Thea, "Your Majesty! Relying on the residual power of His Royal Highness the Prince, I am afraid that they will not be able to suppress the Holy Dragon Kingdom, and these twenty battles have probably confirmed the fact that His Royal Highness the Prince cannot command the army, but I am afraid that next time they will launch a general attack, what will we do to resist at that time?"

"General Baldo Corinth, please calm down. ”

Without waiting for Thea to answer, Ocasus rushed ahead and said, "I asked you to come, I didn't listen to your complaints, I want to ask if there is any way for you to repel the army of the Holy Dragon Kingdom?"

"Isn't that what you, as a commander, should do?"

Baldo has a lot of seniority and is not afraid of Ocassos at all: "When His Royal Highness is here, we can win every battle as long as we obey his orders." Since you have replaced His Royal Highness, please come up with an effective battle plan to win the war, and if you can't even do this, please don't waste time here, and quickly abdicate and make way for Xian. ”

"Who is this Xian? Isn't it you Baldo?"

A dangerous glint appeared in Ocassos' eyes, and the power of the star mage came out of his body.

Burst!

Baldo was oppressed by the coercion and spat out a mouthful of blood.

But instead of retreating, he leaned on his hands on the conference table, and said with a bloody grin: "I am loyal to Your Majesty and to the dynasty, how can I submit to your force! ”

"yes, yes, that's suspicious. ”

"It is even possible that Ocassos has taken His Majesty hostage. ”

"This is the following offense!"

The back-to-back defeats finally made everyone point the finger at Ocassos.

Seeing this, Xiya hurriedly stood up and comforted: "Everyone, please calm down, Lord Ocassos's loyalty to the dynasty is undoubted, please ......"

"Your Majesty, please don't be afraid. ”

Baldo interrupted Thea's words, he took two steps back, and suddenly drew the cross sword on his body and pointed at Ocassos: "Even if Ocasus is a star mage, we are just ordinary people, and we will definitely save you, how can Your Majesty be coerced by this rebellious minister and thief, I will definitely fight with my life to protect you." ”

The voice fell.

The entire conference room could be heard pins dropping.

No one could have imagined that things would develop like this.

Seeing that everyone did not react, Bardo's eyes widened angrily on the spot: "Colleagues, what are you waiting for? Instead of being killed on the battlefield by the army of the Holy Dragon Kingdom, it is better to fight to the death with this rebellious minister and thief here, and there is still a glimmer of life to save His Royal Highness the Prince and defend the dignity of Her Majesty." ”

Whoa—

Under the leadership of Admiral Baldo, more and more generals drew their cross-swords.

The scene is out of control.

Because it is impossible for Ocasus to kill all these generals, let alone remove them all, if these high-ranking generals die, not only the army here, but also the army of the entire dynasty will be directly paralyzed.

Ocassos first started not knowing how to be good.

His prestige has been exhausted, and now no one believes what he says.

He opened his mouth and tried to make a sound, but could not say anything, leaving him with only one way to go.

That is to hand over command......

But once he handed over the command, wouldn't it be tantamount to disappointing his promise to the queen, and handing over such a big inheritance to other commanders, how could he rest assured, wouldn't this be ruining the future of the dynasty?

"It's been this far!"

Ocassos clenched his fists, and the murderous intent in his eyes flashed: "Her Majesty has finally made up his mind to become a king, how can I, a courtier, drag him back at this time, and those who stand in the way should be killed." ”

Ocassos stepped forward.

Admiral Baldo also seemed to be ready to die, and he also stepped forward under duress.

But at this moment.

Thea seemed to have made up her mind, and she rose from her throne and walked between the two forces.

This moment.

Admiral Baldo's group took a step back, and Ocasus also took a step back.

Thea put away all her expressions.

She is as majestic as an emperor...... No, she said in an unangry and powerful voice in the posture of an emperor, "Lord Ocassos, please surrender your command." ”

"Your Majesty?!"

Ocasus looked excited.

But when he met Thea's eyes, his heart trembled.

He had seen these eyes before...... It was in the eyes of Saint Laurent XVIII, the eyes of a 'king'.

He subconsciously put the quaint cross-sword into Thea's hand.

This is the cross-sword that symbolizes the command of the whole army, and he only took it off Vega's body dozens of days ago.

Everyone looked at the sword with hopeful eyes.

They were all wondering who Thea would give the reins.

But what they didn't expect was that Xiya waved the long sword in his hand and made an unquestionable voice: "I am the king of the Holy Dynasty, whether I win or lose, the responsibility for this war is borne by the king!"

Ding Ding Ding –

Long swords were thrown to the ground by the generals.

During the meeting, the generals and Ocassos fell to their knees at the same time, and no one dared to raise even a word of doubt.
