Lai Xima sat quietly in the main hall, looking at the urgent military intelligence reports sent from the front line in front of him, his face was clouded, and he gradually showed impatience. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

One report is on the Northern Front.

"The Blue Star Army has landed in Kedah City, with a total strength of about 10,000 troops, and the Kedah defenders have all been killed, and some of the defenders on the verge of the two districts have fled in panic. ”

"The Blue Star Nation fleet attacked Sabah and Lubetsu and destroyed 19 camps along the coast of our army, causing 2,000 casualties. ”

"There was a rebellion in Penang and Seremban counties in Medan, and the chiefs of the two counties declared their independence from the royal rule. It is estimated that it is related to the secret subversion of the Blue Star Country, and General Hongyan has now sent troops to suppress it. ”

"There was a battle between our army and the army of the Blue Star Country in Penang County, the commander of the enemy army was Tang Long, a member of the Blue Star clan, and General Hongyan fought with him, and the victory was not divided, and most of our army had safely evacuated Penang County a few days ago. ”

The situation on the northern front is extremely unoptimistic, the Blue Star Army is closed in the north, and almost all of the Medan Island in the north of Kopu has fallen into its hands.

The other part is about the battle report in the eastern region, which makes Lai Xima even more distressed when he reads them one by one.

"The Fish-Man Navy suddenly attacked the Kyoshima Islands controlled by our department, and the garrison monks fought back heroically, killing 1,000 enemies, but they were outnumbered, and the Kyoshima Islands fell three days ago. ”

"General Kumako has sent three corps to the Kyoshima Islands, and he will be able to reach the front line and regain the lost territory a few days ago. ”

"The army of the Fish-Man Country is fierce, General Kumako is not effective in the war, and the battle situation on Jingdao is unknown!"

"It has been preliminarily ascertained that the army of the Fish-Man Kingdom has reached one million, including about 30,000 monks and soldiers, and our army is seriously under-strengthened, so I ask for the support of the king!"

Among them, there was also a secret report sent by the old commander named Kumako, the old commander who guarded the east: "My lord, my subordinates are incompetent! The subordinates believe that the Fish-Man Country has colluded with the Blue Star Country, and the weapons it uses are extremely familiar with the equipment of the Blue New Country's army, and our army is caught off guard and suffers heavy losses. There are still two Danjing commanders in the army of the Fishman Country, and one of them is difficult to defeat, and I hope that the king will send troops to help as soon as possible! ”

The only thing that made Lesima feel a little relieved was the earlier report from the Southern Front.

"With the protection of King Tianwei, our army sang all the way, and has now captured the three counties of Yibao, Johor Bahru and Alan, killing 800 enemy monks. ”

"Our army conquered the city of Yada and repelled the army of Baibu defending the city, our army suffered more than 1,000 casualties, and eighteen of the twenty-five counties of Baibu have been controlled by our army. ”

The southern front is the direction of Lai Sima's key attack, and he believes that as long as the white department is killed first, the Blue Star Army will be able to block it sooner or later, "It's a big deal to cede Medan to them first! Hide back later!", Lai Sima planned so.

However, a few days ago, some unpleasant news began to appear on the southern front.

"The combat strength of the White Army has suddenly increased, and it is suspected that it has been equipped with the armament of the Blue Star Country, and our army has lost the two counties of Shanggao and Anyi. ”

"In the first battle of Anyi, Bai Yu personally attacked, our side was caught off guard, and when General Shi Song arrived, the defenders of Anyi had been defeated. ”

"General Shi Chung has built a strong Yongkang defense line, confronted the 3,000 troops of the White Department across the mountain, and vowed to exterminate the rebels and rule the world for the royal department!"

...

After reading all the reports, Lai Xima's face became more and more gloomy.

In just over two months, the situation of the war took a key turn. Not to mention that the Blue Star Country suddenly launched an invasion from the north, the Fishman Country, which had been defeated by him, also suddenly launched a counterattack, and regained the Jingdao Islands that had been occupied by the Kopo Country for many years, and killed all the way to the main island of the Kopo Country.

Also worrying him is the battle with the Southern White Feather. Before, he sent most of his troops to the White Department region and defeated Bai Yu one after another, but for some reason, Bai Yu seemed to have received assistance from the Blue New Country, and his combat effectiveness suddenly increased, and the battle in the south fell into a predicament again.

The three Danjing monks under Lai Sima each led an army to meet the battle in the north, south, and east, but at this moment, the three directions were in an unfavorable situation, which made Lai Sima fall into an unprecedented great trouble. At this moment, he hates the Blue Star Country very much, whether it is the Fish-Man Country or the White Division, the two originally weak opponents suddenly become stronger, and they are inseparable from the Blue Star Country, could it be that the Blue Star Country has really united the three parties and formed an alliance against himself?

What bothered him even more was that Bai Bu hyped up and down the whole country that he was the murderer of the former king and seized the throne by conspiracy, and put himself in an unjust position, causing many people in the country to doubt his status. Although Lai Xi Ma spent a lot of effort to rectify these remarks in the areas controlled by the royal army, and even killed hundreds of people who openly supported these remarks in one go, this move was tantamount to three hundred taels of silver in this place, which made people even more suspicious of his attempt to cover up the truth. The rumors of Lai Xi Ma's usurpation of the throne and the fact that Bai Yu was the rightful heir to the throne immediately put Lai Xi Ma on the cusp.

And with the defeat of the battle, dozens of clan leaders who originally supported him to come to power also began to waver. These tribes were originally under the coercion and temptation of Laixima, but the battle was not good at the moment, and Laixima gave them a lot less benefits, and many tribal patriarchs did not want their own soldiers to die in this senseless infighting, and many people couldn't help but have different hearts, which greatly shook his position. Some of the clan leaders who were close to the White tribe suddenly turned against the White in the middle of the battle and turned to the White Division, some secretly communicated with the White Division, trying to regain their side, and some of the clan leaders even openly demanded that Lesima's abdicate the throne and negotiate with the White Division.

Thinking about these annoying things, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, thinking that he was the first monk of the Jiapu Country, and he was actually swayed by a group of middle-level and earth-level monks, and was forced to such a point that even the group of low-level monks in his camp privately did not look favorably about himself, a strong person in the infant realm, and couldn't help but be furious. He slapped the table hard, and suddenly sawdust flew, and he actually shot a large pit more than a meter deep in front of him.

"Bastard!"

"Come, gather the whole army for me, the widow wants to drive the expedition in person!" ordered Lesima, he urgently needed a victory to revive the morale of the army, and the only way to win was at present.

At this time, a close minister came tremblingly and said cautiously: "The king... There is a report from the subordinates. Now we seem to have a problem with the movement of our tribal armies except for the Praetorian Guard..."

"What do you say? What does this mean? Isn't the army of 30,000 monks requisitioned from various tribes stationed in the city?

"The king," said the close minister, sweating profusely, "not long ago, the chiefs of the various tribes seemed to have communicated privately, and they thought that according to the current situation, the royal tribe should suspend the battle and hold peace talks with the white tribe. So, they've now put their talismans back... Without the talisman, we wouldn't be able to mobilize these tribal warriors... The only thing I can use now is your 5,000 Praetorian Guards..."

"Bastard, what's going on?!What tribal leader is so bold!Do they still have me as a king in their eyes?" Lacema shouted angrily.

"Great King, it is the three patriarchs of Mu Huan, Iwate, and Shiraishi who are the leaders, and more than a dozen tribes in Autumn and Yamahang also support them, and the other tribes are unwilling to obey us when they see so many patriarchs like this..."

"Oh, it turned out to be the patriarch of Mu Huan. When Laixima heard this, he suddenly fell silent, and his expression, which was about to be angry, suddenly became peaceful, but when the ministers saw his expression, they knew that Laixima's heart was actually not at peace at this time.

The patriarchs such as Mu Huan and Iwate mentioned by the close minister just now are the most powerful patriarchs of the royal tribe, and the clansmen of their tribes account for most of the entire royal region, and there are nearly 10,000 monks and soldiers of the tribe, which is the main strength of Laixima. Relying on the strength of their own clan, several patriarchs have a very strong say in the royal court, and Lai Xima has had to consult their opinions on many decisions. Even when Lai Xima was able to successfully replace the first king and ascend to the throne, it was inseparable from the support of these patriarchs. If these patriarchs took the lead in opposing it, then Lai Xima would have to think about it seriously.

"Since it is the opinion of the patriarch Mu Huan, then this matter will be put aside for the time being, you can step back first!" Lai Xima waved his hand and retreated from his close ministers, but his heart could not be calm for a long time.

As the king of a country, and at the same time the highest infant realm powerhouse in the entire Kopo country, Lai Xima should be the same in the country, but politics is politics after all, and it is by no means that everything can be decided by relying on the strength of an individual alone. In order to rule the country, he had to rely on the support of these chiefs, and he could not ignore the opinions of these people, who identified with the tribe more than with the state, and whose loyalty to the patriarch was greater than that of the king.

However, as a king, he was unwilling. If he negotiated peace with the White Department according to the opinions of these patriarchs, then he would not be able to truly control the entire Kopo Kingdom, let alone eliminate the hidden danger of Bai Yu, which directly threatened his throne, let alone realize his greater ambitions, so he could not accept the opinions of those patriarchs.

After much thought, Lacey paced to a secret room in the inner sanctum. This secret room is extremely secluded, and ordinary people and others cannot approach it, and only Lessima can enter it. And usually Lai Xima rarely enters it, but every time he enters and comes out, there will always be some changes in Lai Xima, and even some major decisions are decided after he enters this secret room and comes out, as if there is some mysterious power in this house, guiding him and tempting him.

This time, Lacema opened the door to the chamber again.
