Chapter 12 Military Council in Prague

Inside the Bohemian Palace, the veteran Ronio stared at the murals on the walls in the waiting room without saying a word. It wasn't that he was admiring the masterpieces of these elven painters, but that he was anxiously awaiting the summons of His Majesty.

On the way to Prague, the royal capital, Ronio changed his plan to seize the mountains of Monria, but he was still unsure. The defense of the mountainous region of Monria is already quite bad, and if you rush to send troops again, I am afraid that you will encounter an even more ugly defeat than the last time.

The 2nd Tarlac Frontier Regiment had been in existence for some time, but Roneo felt that they could not fight the Bavarian Frontier Guards in the rugged mountainous terrain, which were composed entirely of mountain people. With only two months of training, it is impossible to equip these recruits with excellent mountain adaptability.

Thinking of this, Ronio couldn't help but sigh, and he couldn't help but think of what Wei Nathan had asked him.

"We must make Your Majesty give up the feud with Bavaria, the burden on our country is now heavy enough. As a small country, how can it maintain such a high-intensity war for a long time?" The bumpy carriage made the weak court prime minister a little unbearable, and he couldn't help coughing a few times.

"But we have not been able to convince His Majesty to give up on this idea, and the people have been clamoring for the repossession of the Monria mountains. Commander Ronio didn't want to stop the fighting and find an opportunity to tour his nephew who had disappeared in the mountains of Monria, but the situation in front of him was a huge headache for him.

Now the news of gold in the mountains of Monria has spread throughout Bohemia, and even to other parts of Carantok. In addition to the confrontation between the armies of the two sides of the dispute, many adventurers who heard the news also began to squeeze into this place of right and wrong in various ways.

Today, a large group of masked people are active in the mountains of Monria. It was also thanks to these people that the Bavarian border guards were pinned down in the mountains of Monria, so that Ronio had time to form his second frontier regiment.

"Public opinion is!" said the court chancellor Wei Naxon, "we never think about what they think, as long as we convince the king, it will work more than anything else!" It is true that as a veteran of officialdom, Wei Naxon is well aware of political maneuvers, and he knows that there are many reasons that affect this war, but only by convincing the king can it be possible to stop this war.

"What did the two of us do. "Lost access to gold in the mountains of Monria. Then our country will lose its only hope. ”

It can be said that now the king and everyone who supports the war. They are all counting on a piece of the pie from this great gold mine in the mountains of Monria. It was very difficult to convince them to give up, and although Ronio supported Wei Nathan's proposal, he decided that getting Bohemia to give up the Monria Mountains was an impossible task.

"That's why I'm asking you. Wei Nathan said. "I hope when I get to Prague. You can tell you all the difficulties of attacking the mountains of Monria. and to explain to His Majesty the possible defeat of a rash attack on the Monria mountains. ”

"Does this work?" said Ronio, who felt that such an approach would not achieve its goal.

But Wei Naxon said: "You just do what I do, and then persuade Your Majesty to leave it to me." “

Thinking back to Wei Nathan's somewhat bleak smile at the end, Ronio didn't know what to say.

It was at this time. The court attendant pushed open the door of the palace reception room: "Legion Commander Roneo, His Majesty has asked you to take a trip to his bedchamber." “

Ronio, who had finally arrived, stood up and was led by the attendants to His Majesty's bedchamber. With some apprehension in his heart, he didn't know how His Majesty would feel about his battle plan.

“...... According to the information gathered so far, the Monria Mountains are now under the complete control of the enemy, who have deployed half of the country's military forces there. Moreover, from the mountains of Monria to the rear of the enemy army, Bavaria had built a robust transport route that would support all the needs of their border guards to fight in the mountains. "The officer who had been in charge of intelligence gathering told those present about the situation of the enemy army in the mountains of Monria.

Misrid II, who had been listening intently to the explanation, fell asleep and snored before he knew it. Everyone looked at each other, not knowing how the meeting would proceed later.

In the end, only the Chancellor of the Exchequer gently nudged the sleeping king: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, wake up!"

Awakened, Mithrid II opened his eyes in a daze, looked around for a moment, and said, "Ah, you're all done?"

"No, Captain Ronio hasn't spoken yet. The Chancellor of the Exchequer kindly reminded that his manner, which was more flattering than that of a court attendant, was very contemptuous to the others. However, everyone is helpless about this, after all, only sycophants can become the king's favorite.

"Oh, it's Ronio, tell us about your plans. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. Ronio glanced at Wei Nathan, who was sitting across from him, before he stood up and walked over to the map hanging on the wall to get ready to speak.

"Your Majesty, under your guidance, I worked out a battle plan overnight that would restore our disadvantage in the mountains of Monria. We were ready to move to the east of the mountains, along the river and up to the weakest Bavarian defenses on the eastern side of the mountains. I am ready to press all the newly formed Tarak Frontier Regiment up, seize the enemy's camp to the east, and occupy the commanding heights here. ”

Mithrid II, who couldn't understand Ronio's battle plan, quickly clapped his hands and said, "That's right, but why should we seize this camp, it's still far from the gold mine!"

"Your Majesty, the reason why this camp to the east was seized was because the enemy here was the weakest, and the rest of the place was either steep or too well defended. Most of the 2nd Frontier Regiment is now composed of new recruits, and we don't need to attack those places that are easy to defend and difficult to attack. We lack an effective stronghold in the mountains of Monria, which is why we failed last time. And if we take this stronghold, we can threaten the enemy's transport lines to the south, and seek an opportunity to fight a decisive battle with the main enemy forces stationed there. ”

Ronio struck the area marked as a gold mine with his whip, and if all goes well, we may be able to drive the enemy out of the Monria Mountains within three years and reclaim the land of gold. ”

"What, it will take three years?" Misrid II jumped up as soon as he heard this time, "Ronio, our country is in danger now, how can we let the country wait three years in such a suffocating hurry! Ronio, Bohemia is not raising pigs for you, your only mission is to serve me and protect the whole of Bohemia from foreign enemies!"

Ronio did not make any excuses in the face of the king's reprimand, he knew very well that if he explained himself at this time, it would only deepen the king's anger.

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger. "The Prime Minister of the palace began to stand up very at the right time," General Ronio also arranged this according to many considerations. We have already lost once in the mountains of Monria because of the light enemy, and if we suffer a heavy defeat a second time, the whole of Bohemia will not be able to bear it. The loss of national land is a pain in the hearts of each and every one of us, but we should not rush into hasty action because of this. ”

"Your Majesty, General Roneo is right, we should not take too risky action in the matter of recovering the mountains of Monria, and it is not necessarily an unfeasible plan to fight steadily. ”|

The rest of the people also chimed in, agreeing with Ronio's plan of advancing the battle evenly, and Misrid II was embarrassed to reprimand General Ronio when he saw this

Seeing that His Majesty had relented, the Prime Minister of the court, Wei Naxon, also breathed a sigh of relief. But his reassurance did not last long, and the fickle king suddenly said as he stared at the map: "Why do we have to keep an eye on the mountains of Monria? We have other borders with the damned Bavarians, why don't we attack from these poorly fortified lines, instead of spending time with them in the mountains of Monria?"

As soon as this remark came out, the others present were directly frightened. Although it was only a short sentence, it was no less than a bolt from the blue for them.

If you don't fight in this disputed part of the Monria Mountains, and burn the flames of war elsewhere, that's the rhythm of an all-out war.

If you go too far, you will be sanctioned by Eternal Dragon City in minutes. (To be continued......)
