Pirlo said, "Summer, you still have a chance to escape." ”

Summerer smiled miserably: "I will not leave my soldiers behind. ”

Pirlo used his last strength to kill five orcs, he had already exhausted all his strength, and before the sword could hit the ground, he was stabbed into the body by several weapons: "Somer, I'll go first." ”

Summerer laughed, "I was finally able to cast the forbidden spell once, albeit unsuccessfully. "The huge explosion force directly destroyed the entire Belon Fortress, and after the huge explosion, the Belon Fortress has completely disappeared.

Gray stood in the air, watching the anode qi of countless souls and humans, and the cathode qi of demonic beasts being sucked into a blue container, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, which disappeared in an instant.

Yes led the remaining 200 cavalry to break through, and the remaining 10,000 orc soldiers were also on standby under the leadership of the deputy vanguard Birkin, because Yes's troops were cavalry after all, and 3,000 of Birkin's 10,000 people were wounded, so Birkin did not pursue Yes.

Strictly speaking, this battle was won by the orcs, but Birkin did not have a happy expression at all, and the soldiers did not have the joy after the victory, 50,000 vanguard troops, just to capture a fortress, it would take 40,000 people, in front, there are more precipitous fortresses, I don't know how many orcs have to lose their lives.

It was already half a month later when Grusi received the news of Pirlo's death, and yes knelt down and said: "Acting Marshal, this time the beasts have gathered a million troops to attack, in addition to the Belon Fortress, The Hague Fortress, and Tongguan Fortress have been broken one after another, and the enemy does not count the losses at all, although our troops resist stubbornly, they still cannot delay the enemy's advance."

Grushi said: "The target of the enemy's next attack is Longling, and after the three major fortresses are removed, Longling is a lonely city, yes, you immediately return to the front line and continue to listen to the enemy's movements." ”

After yes left, Rose said: "Big brother, the beast clan actually dispatched a million troops, it seems that the beast clan's appetite this time is not small." ”

Grusi said: "Ross, you and Koscielny led 100,000 soldiers to immediately reinforce Longling, after Longling City, all of them are small towns, once Longling is lost, the consequences are unimaginable." ”

Ross and Koscielny said: "Yes." Turning around and leaving the council hall, the military situation is urgent, they must gather their troops as soon as possible and set off, otherwise, Longling may be lost at any time. ”

Grussi said: "Field, this place is under your command on my behalf for the time being, I will go back to the city of Hearth, and personally report the situation here to His Majesty the King, this time I will talk about the marshal in any case." (Baidu search network update is the fastest and most stable)"

Grusi directly transmitted back to the city of Hearthfire through the teleportation array, at this time it was already midnight, Grusi came to the outside of the royal city, shouting loudly, the soldiers defending the city knew that it was the acting marshal of the First Army Corps who came, there must be an urgent military situation, did not dare to stop it, and hurriedly reported to the internal management.

Grusi hurriedly walked into the royal city and knelt down on one knee in front of Siri IX: "Your Majesty, the military situation is urgent, a few days ago, the orc army of millions came to attack, and it has broken through the Belon Fortress, The Hague Fortress, Tongguan Fortress, and Longling City are also in danger, and the minister has sent General Ross and General Koscielny to lead 100,000 elite soldiers to support, but the minister feels that the scale of this orc attack is too large, so he will report to His Majesty." ”

Siri IX said: "Millions of orcs, are those tailed guys crazy? ”

Siri IX said: "Immediately send Prime Minister Lukewu, Marshal Montgomery, and Lu Shifan into the palace." ”

Lu Kewu and Lu Shifan were introduced into the palace by the inner tube at night, and they knew that something big must have happened, and the father and son did not dare to slack off, so they hurriedly put on civilian clothes and rode into the palace on a fast horse.

After Tietu left, Siri IX made some adjustments to his way of employing people, and for Lukewu, he gave him higher titles and fiefs, and also returned some of the rights that originally belonged to the prime minister.

For Lu Shifan, a genius, Xili IX is more important, in his opinion, this can buy Lu Kewu's heart, and secondly, it is also to select a talent for the country, as long as the military power is in his own hands, he is not afraid of what storms Lu Kewu's father and son can set off.

Facts have proved that this strategy of Siri IX has indeed brought him great benefits, Lukewu originally wanted to retire, but the king gave him a knighthood and a fief, so let the old man swallow his words back, Lukewu smiled and said in a helpless tone: "Old man, I think I will sell my life to Your Majesty for a few more years." ”

And because Lu Shifan has always been under the aura of his father, he knows that sometimes he uses people to avoid suspicion, so he does not have much hope for his career, but the king's appointment made him suddenly become a third official from five officials, and has the right to participate in political affairs.

You must know that in the court, the real center is the officials above the three, although the other officials have certain rights, but they do not have the ability to affect the overall situation, those officials below the third level can only put forward opinions at most, and the final decision has to be jointly studied by the king and those officials above the three.

Lu Shifan introduced the king as a confidant, and he worked more seriously, after all, someone gave him the opportunity to display his talents, how could he not grasp this coveted opportunity?

In doing so, Xili IX also received an unexpected effect, because as soon as he came to power, he suppressed the old ministers of the former dynasty, which made many old ministers of the previous dynasty cold, and they just messed around every day, and they couldn't do their work.

Xili IX's promotion and reward of Lu Kewu and Lu Shifan gave these officials hope again, and those former ministers of the previous dynasty began to work diligently again, and the atmosphere of the whole court was completely renewed.

When Lu Kewu and Lu Shifan entered the palace, Montgomery had already arrived here, and although Siri IX was very anxious, his expression was very calm: "Give Prime Minister Lu Kewu a seat." ”

The internal official put a small stool behind Lu Kewu, helped Lu Kewu to sit down, and then exited the palace, slowly closing the door, and now the few people here are the most powerful people in the Xili Kingdom.

Siri IX asked Grussi to retell the situation, and after Grussi finished speaking, Siri IX asked, "If you have any ideas, let's talk about them." ”

Montgomery said: "Your Majesty, it seems that the purpose of the beast clan this time is definitely not to grab something and leave, but to have a bigger plan, I think we should immediately send troops to the front line to support the first legion, and be sure to hold the first line of the Isur fortress, which is the gateway to the entire Xili Kingdom, once it is breached, half of the Xili Kingdom will completely fall into the hands of the beast clan." ”

Siriy IX said: "General Montgomery is reasonable, although we have a fortified city, but this beast offensive is huge, and the horror of the First Legion alone cannot support it, pass on my order, and order Abigail to quickly lead the Fourth Legion to reinforce the First Legion, under the unified command of Acting Marshal Grussy." ”

Montgomery said, "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

Grousi knelt down on one knee and said, "Your Majesty." ”

Siri IX said: "Grusi, I know what you have to say, and I will do it too." ”

Grusi said: "On behalf of the millions of people on the border, thank Your Majesty." ”

The thing that Grousi wanted to mention was naturally the matter of the return of Tietu, and Siri IX was not a fool, he knew very well that the return of Tietu was a great incentive in morale for the soldiers and civilians on the front line.

Siri IX said: "Next is the civil matter, old man, what do you think?" ”

This is the honorific title of Xili IX to Lu Kewu, the Manchu Dynasty only Lu Kewu has this honor, Lu Kewu said: "Your Majesty, every time you fight, the soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first, the food problem of the hundreds of thousands of troops in the border army is the first priority at present, I will collect grain from the people tomorrow with the Ministry of Finance, and at the same time hire those idle farmers and let them deliver grain to the front line, as long as there is enough food, the morale of the front-line soldiers can be guaranteed." ”

Cili IX asked: "Is there enough food in the treasury??Every time there is a war, the price of food will skyrocket, and if one is not handled well, it is very likely to cause a civil uprising, and then we will have the beasts in front of us, and the mob in the back, and the kingdom of Xili will fall into a situation from which it will never recover." ”

Lukewu approving: "Your Majesty is far-sighted, to see the problem to the point, the country's grain can support a year's use, but because the war will lead to a lot of barren fields, next year's grain production will inevitably be reduced, take precautions, we should import a large amount of grain from various countries, hoard it to cope with the famine year in the coming year, this matter has been done by the Nora Chamber of Commerce, this time Your Majesty can also be handed over to the Nora Chamber of Commerce, the Nora Chamber of Commerce has its own channels to buy affordable food, as long as the food problem can be solved, the problem of the mob will be solved." ”

Xili IX said: "There is also the resettlement of the victims that Mr. Lao has to worry about. ”

Lukewu said: "Your Majesty, this resettlement of the victims is a very troublesome matter, neither indulge them in causing trouble, nor impose severe punishments on you, the minister thinks that the work of transporting food can be handed over to a part of the able-bodied victims, so that they can earn a certain amount of remuneration, and for those women and children, let them work in the workshops, so that the state can not only save the cost of disaster relief, but also resettle the victims." ”

Siri IX said: "Sir, this matter will be entrusted to you, tomorrow I will issue an edict, requiring those great nobles to donate a part of the grain, and at the same time be responsible for employing a part of the victims, in addition to preventing corruption and bribery of officials, in order to cope with the war, all officials will be doubled, if there are any more embezzlers, there will be no mercy." ”

Lukewu stood up, bowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

Xili IX knows that officials are also people, but also to support their families, once the price of food rises, the price of other living materials rises, many ordinary officials will be in trouble, these officials are the main force of relief and local work, officials are also people, but also to eat, this policy of Xili IX, can be a good way to prevent the phenomenon of greedy ink.
