Chapter 408: The Great Hall
Haoyue City, the Imperial Palace, the Great Hall!
At this time, Zhi'an was sitting on the dragon chair in a golden dragon robe, his face was solemn, and he glanced at the ministers below with a majestic momentum in his eyes.
After Duan Zhi'an came back from the Holy City, he immediately called an emergency meeting of all the ministers of civil and military affairs, and just said a word about the invasion of demonic beasts, which immediately made the people below boil, and you and I argued every word.
"Your Majesty, is it really true that the invasion of demonic beasts is true? In the past, demonic beasts would also invade the territory of humans from time to time, is it possible this time?" said the military department Shangshu respectfully.
"Yes, Your Majesty, we haven't received any information from the Northern Frontier, how can we determine if it's a Warcraft invasion?" said another minister.
"Is there any truth in what His Majesty said?" said a military general who commanded the army at once.
There have been contradictions between the ministers of civil and military affairs since ancient times, and the ministers of civil and military affairs are not accustomed to those martial artists who only know how to dance swords and swords, thinking that they have no thoughts, and the ministers of military affairs also look down on the ministers of literature, thinking that they are just poor scholars, and they are angry with books, and they only know how to open their mouths to say big things, so there are often quarrels in the court.
Hearing Minister Wu's words, Minister Wen immediately retorted: "I didn't say that what I had to say is false, it's just that it needs to be verified!"
"What are you researching? Is there still something wrong with what Your Majesty said, by the time you finish your research, the Warcraft will have already broken through the defense line. Minister Wu said angrily.
"It's also your business to be breached by the defense line, as the Minister of War, you can't even protect the frontier for the empire, what use do you say?" said Minister Wen not to be outdone.
"You...... You ......" Minister Wu, who was not good at words, was even more angry and speechless at this time.
"Okay, I called you here to let you discuss countermeasures, not to let you quarrel, but to quarrel back. Duan Zhi'an's voice reached the ears of everyone present. Every time they had something, they kept arguing, and at this time, they were still arguing, which made Duan Zhi'an's mood a little unhappy.
After a while, seeing that Duan Zhi'an had calmed down his anger, Minister Wen whispered again, "Your Majesty." We-Chen......"
Duan Zhi'an waved his hand and said again: "I know what you want to say, but this matter is true, because this is what the Star Tower told me!"
When the three words of the Star Tower were spoken, the hall suddenly fell silent, as long as you live on the Star Continent, it is impossible not to know the Star Tower, which is the symbol of the entire continent, although it is not like the Empire, which has such a great power. But no one dares to underestimate the strength of the Star Tower, which generally does not interfere in the internal affairs of the Empire, but every time a great disaster occurs, they will be seen.
If anyone else told them the news, they would refute it, but when they heard that it was the Star Tower, they were all silent, even if they didn't believe it before. Now I will choose to believe it.
"So there's no need to talk about anything else right now. Take the time to discuss the next thing, that's the main thing. Duan Zhi'an reminded them again.
At this time, the Minister Wu immediately stood up and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to personally lead the troops to the front line to protect the safety of the empire!"
Duan Zhi'an just nodded with satisfaction and did not speak.
Minister Wen's thinking was originally richer than that of Minister Wu, and he thought of the invasion of Warcraft. Thinking of the forces in the north of the empire, suddenly realized something.
"Your Majesty, the Empire has countless elite soldiers, and there is also the Maginot Line, known as the Iron Arm Fortress, in the north of the Empire, I think it should be easy to resist those magical beasts. Minister Wen stood next to Minister Wu. Said respectfully.
Although Minister Wen thought of it first, but Minister Wu is not a fool, after such a reminder, he also thought that the empire did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to build such a majestic Maginot Line in the north of the empire fifty years ago, and it has hardly been used so far, is it just for the sake of good looks, of course not, and then think of today's Warcraft invasion, is it ......
"Your Majesty ,......" Minister Wu was about to say something, when he was suddenly interrupted, and what interrupted him was a voice from outside.
"Report, the frontier is eight hundred miles urgent, and it is Cheng Bing's majesty!" came the voice of the guards outside.
Duan Zhi'an's brows furrowed, thinking to himself if it really happened?
Although it is said that it is 800 miles to expedit, the speed has already exceeded 800 miles, and the personnel of the communication are no longer ordinary soldiers, they have long become swordsmen with good strength, so the speed of communication can also be faster.
A swordsman in a samurai suit came in from the outside at great speed, and from his dusty face, it could be seen that there was almost no rest along the way, and the information was sent to the imperial capital as quickly as possible.
After the swordsman arrived at the main hall, he hurriedly untied a buckle from his body, and a black package slipped off the swordsman's body, and the swordsman caught it, held it with both hands, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the eight-hundred-mile letter of the commander of Long Gan, hand it over to Your Majesty." ”
At this time, a person beside Zhi'an hurriedly stepped forward, took the package in the swordsman's hand, and respectfully handed it to Duan Zhi'an.
Duan Zhi'an opened the package, and inside was a bamboo tube wrapped in oilskin, wrapped in a package, and locked on the swordsman's body, so that the letter would not leave the swordsman at any time, so that the person was in the letter, and the oily skin wrapped in the oil skin could prevent the letter from being wet by rain or dew.
Duan Zhi'an took out the letter in the bamboo tube, and looking at the letter in his hand, Duan Zhi'an's face suddenly became stern, and his brows were also furrowed.
The ministers present, seeing Duan Zhi'an's appearance, none of them dared to say a word, although Zhi'an was very kind to them in normal times, but when there was really something, they were not allowed to have the slightest difference, which is why they dared to quarrel in the hall before this matter was confirmed, and when the matter was confirmed, they looked desperate one by one.
When Duan Zhi'an read the letter, he handed the letter to the people around him, and just wanted to speak, when suddenly the swordsman who had just been summoned suddenly fainted and fell unconscious.
After seeing Duan Zhi'an finally see the letter, the swordsman's tense nerves finally relaxed, and he couldn't hold on any longer, "Come on, carry our warriors down and have a good rest!" Duan Zhi'an immediately commanded the people below.
At this moment, several guards came up from both sides and carried the swordsman who had fainted to the ground.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the information just came from the border that our Maginot Line has been invaded, but the level of the invading Warcraft is not high, so it has only destroyed some sieges on our Maginot Line, and has not really attacked the main city, but it is so, it has also caused nearly 50,000 deaths and 20,000 injuries, this is still an ordinary Warcraft, what do you think now? Duan Zhi'an said what happened at the border in a low tone. (To be continued......)
