Iberel smiled at Orlando, as the archbishop, of course he knew that what Orlando released like magic was actually a unique skill of the Holy Knight, this kind of magic called divine talent is because the Holy Knights devout believe in their main god, and the power given to them by the main god is to release this power.

This god-given power does not usually directly attack the Holy Knight's enemies, but rather strengthens the Holy Knights themselves and their companions, and only deals very serious damage directly against those evil creatures. There is not much difference between a trainee Holy Knight and an ordinary warrior, that is, it is stronger in faith. Only after the blessing of the gods and the acceptance of the inheritance of the Holy Knight, the apprentice Holy Knight will become a true Holy Knight and gain those special powers. Once the Holy Knight loses his belief in the main god, he naturally loses this power, and without these special abilities, the Holy Knight is no longer a Holy Knight, usually called a Fallen Knight.

The magic unleashed by Orlando is called "Flash of Light", which uses the power of the gods to influence the world, heal the physical wounds, diseases, etc., and also expel the negative emotions in the hearts of the recipients, and strengthen their faith in the gods of light. Orlando was able to unleash the Holy Knight's unique magic of light, which meant that he had never broken his oath, and it proved that everything he was doing now was based on loyalty to Fernando's bloodline.

"Alright, the facts are in front of you!" Luke said appropriately, "What questions do you have?"

There was silence in the royal council room, these officials were not stupid, the archbishop of the Church of Light, the head of the Royal Knights, and the former imperial finance minister who helped the queen kill the rebellious in the bloody night of the imperial capital, since these three people had come together, it was impossible for any person or interest group present to shake this combination.

Luke looked around and saw that no one had spoken, so he said loudly: "Since there is no problem, then now the empire has entered a state of emergency, and the imperial capital has begun to prepare for the arrival of the orc army! As we all know, one orc can defeat five human warriors, and this time the orc army may exceed 500,000, which means that we humans must prepare at least more than 2 million troops if we want to gather and defend the city. ”

Hearing this huge number, the officials present all gasped. Orlando's brow furrowed imperceptibly, anyway, Luke's talk about the power of the orcs at this time was a bit demoralizing to his side. Unfortunately, Orlando couldn't interrupt him, as that would give the impression that there was a disagreement between the two of them, and the incalculable damage to the work to be carried out was to be carried out.

And Luke didn't care about what Orlando was thinking, and still said to himself: "In fact, there are only more than 200,000 elite troops in the imperial capital who have really received strict training, and they are still distributed within a radius of several hundred kilometers, so our first step is to mobilize these troops together, and then transport everything outside the city into the city, and everything that cannot be transported away will be destroyed on the spot, and it must not be left to the orcs." Next, we will recruit soldiers on a large scale in the imperial capital, and all of you here, if your servants are in good health and meet the requirements of conscription, they must join unconditionally. ”

"With such a huge army, there must be enough food and salaries, and now that the treasury is empty, it will definitely not be able to come up with so much. I'm here to take the lead in donating all my family possessions, including my farm in the suburbs and my property in the city, for military expenses, and I think you should do the same, right?"

"Of course, this alone is not enough, since there are more than 8 million people in the entire Fernando City area, if they all move to the city, there will be no place to live in the city, so I will open my mansion and let these refugees live temporarily, and you will not be stingy with your own residence, right?"

"In short, these are extraordinary times, all affairs must revolve around war, and anyone who undermines this center will be severely punished, and if it is serious, he will be killed on the spot!"

"Ah, how can this be!" said an old man who was nearly eighty years old, of course Luke knew him, because he was Henikos Fernando, and many officials had supported him as the next king.

Henikos's face was flushed, and he seemed to be in a trembling voice, and he said in a trembling voice: "Luke, your words are too disrespectful to the dignity of the nobles, how can we destroy the property of the royal family at will! How can we allow those untouchables to enter the residences of our nobles! Even our slaves are sacrosanct, how can we join your army and die?"

Luke sneered and said in a mocking tone, "Aha, dear sir, if you don't destroy the supplies outside the city, it will be left to the orcs." Those orcs came from afar, and we actually provided them with food and lodging, were we afraid that they would not be able to capture the imperial capital? The orcs were extremely powerful in combat, and if we did not concentrate all our strength, how could we resist them? How could those soldiers who had been temporarily conscripted into the army devote themselves to the battle if they could not get their salaries and food, and their families could only sleep on the streets?"

"I don't care! Anyway, the interests of the Fernando family are above all else. ”

"Hmph, it's your own interests above all else, right?" Luke said disapprerovingly: "I just want to remind you that if the city is broken, the orcs will not let you go because of your noble blood, ah, maybe they will arrest you and make you into delicious food, I heard that many tribes among the orcs like noble blood food the most, whether it is flying in the sky or walking on the ground, it doesn't matter if you have 4 legs or 2 legs!"

Henikos listened to Luke's words, and his face changed drastically, not only him, but many people present. A middle-aged man muttered to Henikos, and Luke saw at a glance that the middle-aged man was none other than Henikos's strong rival Birmingham-Fernando, and in the past month, the two factions had been fighting a lot, but unexpectedly, the great enemy was actually intimately "cooperating" at the moment.

"Old man, the industry outside the city is estimated to be unkept, and the orcs will definitely not let it go when they come. Why don't we give up those for a moment and get Luke in exchange. ”

"Hmph, you don't want it if you say you don't want it?"

"Use your brains carefully, if the orcs win, do you still plan to collect taxes in the territory of the orcs? And the orcs have been beaten away, with our identity, who would dare to fight them? At most, it is just a loss of buildings on the land and some inventory, anyway, I have long been tired of those buildings from hundreds of years ago, and someone happened to come to demolish them for me for free. ”

"Oh, what do you mean?"

"It's very simple, exchange these insignificant things for opening the magic teleportation array to Seabreeze City. ”

"Ahh

"Let's take all the things we can move and our trusted slaves, and take refuge in Seabreeze City through the teleportation array, in case this place is defeated, the orcs will not be able to fight to the south, right? If we win against the orcs, it's not too late for us to come back. ”

"Can they agree to this? The Great War is coming, and those magicians are also valuable fighting power. ”

"So we're going to take out a little bit of something in exchange, as for the magicians, there must be a lot of magic guilds, and the royal magicians can use them, and besides, behind Luke, isn't there a big magician?"

After listening to Birmingham's whisper, Henikos's face kept changing, and after weighing left and right for a long time, Henikos suddenly said loudly: "Luke, we can provide all the supplies outside the city for free, and we can also hand over most of the slaves in our hands, but you must promise us one condition!"

Orlando's face was all over, and he wanted to get angry, when was it, these guys were still bargaining! But Luke pulled him lightly and motioned for him to deal with these officials. Orlando clenched his fists, and then turned his body to the side, indeed, Luke had more ways to deal with these officials.

A mysterious smile appeared on Luke's face, knowing that he was almost halfway there. "Say it, but don't be too outrageous. Luke said lightly.

"It's very simple, open the Royal Magic Teleportation Array and send us to Sea Breeze City!"

"What are you trying to do!" Orlando couldn't help but get angry: "Don't you know that it takes a lot of mages to run that teleportation array?

"Don't worry, let me come!" Luke took a half-step forward, blocking Orlando's side, and then whispered, "Don't worry, as long as these bastards don't get in the way, many things can be promised to them." After speaking, Luke said to Henikos: "This is not impossible, but there are two conditions. First, this teleportation magic circle must be approved by Her Majesty the Queen before it can be used, as the magic rings that activate it are only available to Her Majesty the King and Her Majesty the Queen. Second, if Her Majesty agrees, you can go to Seabreeze City through the magic array, but there must be certain restrictions on the items you carry with you, otherwise it is impossible for so many magicians to operate and maintain the magic array. ”

Henikos hesitated for a moment, but considering that as long as his safety could be guaranteed, with his Fernando bloodline, he was afraid that he would not have gold coins to squander, so he said loudly, "So, who is going to convince Catherine?"

Luke smiled and said, "Come on, I will have a banquet at home tonight for Her Majesty, and I hope to bring you good news early tomorrow morning." From now on, however, the industries outside your city must be taken over by the army, and the men and supplies must be removed immediately, and the orcs may appear at any time. ”

Henikos looked at Orlando and said, "Your Excellency, I hope you can give us a guarantee, I don't want to be deprived of benefits after paying the price. ”

Orlando already understood what Luke meant at this moment, since these guys were always in the way, he simply sent them all away, so that the entire imperial capital would be much cleaner and more convenient to fight against the enemy. So Orlando replied, "As you wish!"

"Deal!" Henikos and Luke shouted together, their faces filled with the satisfaction of having their wish fulfilled.
