Chapter 345: Chen's Decision

It turned out that after the torrent of Warcraft receded, the commander of the Rostock Army immediately recruited a group of death squads and risked death to enter the frozen forest to find out the news. At that time, the 100 soldiers who had been conscripted entered the forest with the determination to die, and General Rostock, when he saw them off, ordered "go as far as you can!"

Everyone knows that if there is no strength of magicians and intermediate and above martial artists, then entering the frozen forest is purely a risky suicide. The frozen forest is full of demonic beasts, day and night, you have to beware of those bloodthirsty guys in the dark. But fortunately, this group of death squads went all the way into the forest to the north, and along the way, not to mention the demonic beasts, not even a shadow could be seen! Those demonic beasts, as if after retreating into the forest, all disappeared overnight or went underground to hide!!

Along the way, it was so safe that these soldiers, who originally thought they were here to send them to death, almost took this adventurous journey as a tour!

It was so peaceful! Along the way, only one soldier accidentally sprained his foot, but other than that, they did not encounter the slightest danger. Soon, they actually came to the Great Round Lake, which was called the "Destination of Adventurers"!

Idiots know that the Great Round Lake cannot be crossed. However, because of General Rostock's order to "go as far as you can", coupled with such a surprisingly calm a few days ago, these soldiers simply went sideways, circled the Great Round Lake, and continued to go north!

Soon, a few days later, they were at the northern end of the frozen forest!!

When they got to the north end, the soldiers almost thought they were dreaming!!

For thousands of years, countless powerful knights, samurai, and magicians have not been able to go anywhere. The "danger zone" that countless strong masters can't cross, but let ordinary soldiers like them complete it so easily!!

And...... Or zero casualties!!

To the north of the forest, there is a flat ice field that stretches as far as the eye can see. At times like these. These soldiers led the officers. A decision was made: "Keep going north!"

However, for the sake of prudence, the officer gave a clever order: half of the men remained where they were, and the other half continued north.

Outcome. This order saved the lives of fifty soldiers and saved them from the end of the entire army.

Just below the eyelids of the fifty soldiers left behind, the other fifty soldiers had just stepped onto the ice field and had not yet stepped out of sight...... It's about a few hundred meters. The originally calm sky suddenly appeared with huge storms and whirlpools! A strong wind blew the soldiers on the ice field to stagger!

This kind of time. If Du Wei were on the ground, he would have told them not to make any resistance. Turn back now!

It's a pity that these soldiers who stepped into the ice field. But they made the most wrong choice: they took out one of them. A low-level magic scroll given by one of the mage advisors in the Legion, which is a small magic that defends against xìng. Partially. It's this magic that killed them!

The first moment this small magic scroll was released, it immediately triggered a soft glow, blocking the surrounding wind. But before these soldiers could cheer, the next moment ......

In the next moment, under the eyelids of the soldiers who stayed behind at the edge of the forest, the storm in the sky and the earth, as if triggered by this small magical light, suddenly became ten times more violent! A huge whirlpool, sandwiched between countless wind blades visible to the naked eye, like a meat grinder, roared down, and that small defensive magic was destroyed in an instant! And the fifty soldiers inside were almost in one breath - the fifty soldiers were all cut into pieces by countless wind blades!!

Just under the eyes of everyone, the whirlwind whistled down, and then there was a bloody mist with air, and after looking at it again, only the corpses were scattered all over the ground! It took a while for the rest of the group to recover. The officer who led the team was quite knowledgeable, and immediately recognized it: "There must be a powerful magic array here." ”

In this case, they did not dare to send people forward to die, so they could only retreat all the way back.

Who would have thought that in the frozen forest, there was no danger all the way back and forth, but when he walked out of the frozen forest, he suddenly lost half of the people.

Soon, the fifty surviving soldiers reported the experience to the corps commander, General Rostock, who immediately wrote an urgent military message and passed the matter to Dìdū. Before, because of the wreaking havoc of the Warcraft, the military department had sent people to the north as quickly as possible, and set up a special magic array in the base camp of the Northern Storm Legion, and with this magic array, the military information could be directly transmitted to Dìdū at the fastest speed. I have to say that this is also the result of the fact that since the establishment of the Imperial Academy of Magic, the military has received a lot of support from magical forces.

"There are no monsters in the frozen forest...... The north is an ice field...... There is also a natural huge magic array that cannot be passed......" After Prince Chen got this military information, he thought carefully for a while.

It can be said that it was this military situation that laid the last nail in the determination of Prince Chen!

Because, during the previous visit of the Pope, in the content of his conversation, the Pope had said something about the huge natural magic array in the north of the Frozen Forest.

"This is the great goddess, the last barrier for us humanity......" were the exact words of the Pope at the time.

And now, judging from the military situation of the Storm Legion, this is also obviously true!

Well, the Pope is not lying...... Disaster is coming.

Bang!!

Emperor Chen slammed his fist on the table, and then, the young monarch, with a calm face, a ball of flame erupted from the tips of his fingers, and quickly, the emergency military information was burned to ashes. The dignitaries of Dìdū, who had been surprised by the sudden meeting between the Pope and the Regent, had just had afternoon tea when they suddenly received a summons from the palace at the same time, and the palace envoy brought an order from His Royal Highness the Prince Regent to go to the palace immediately.

When the old Prime Minister Robschel, the Chancellor of the Exchequer Munes, and the outgoing head of the Sheriff's Office, Camiciro, and the Count of Villa, etc......

More than a dozen powerful people who held great power in the empire came to the palace.

To their surprise, this meeting was not a secret meeting gathered in the study of His Royal Highness the Lord Regent or in some small hall, as was the case in the past.

The court attendants who were in charge of greeting led the way and led these important ministers to the "Saint-Thorn Flower-Splendor" hall in the palace.

More than 960 years ago, it was in this hall that the founding emperor announced the establishment of the Roland Empire to his own hundred battles and generals, two hundred years ago, when the Augustinian Dynasty was in the middle of the rise, the emperor's enthronement ceremony was also held here, the Northwest War a few decades ago, and the first South Sea Expedition later, were also announced here by Augustine VI in public "War Order".

It can be said that this is a place of great significance for the Roland Empire......

"Looks like something big has happened. ”

All the important ministers and bigwigs, when they were brought to this place, had such a thought in their hearts at the same time.

When they entered the main hall and saw the gold-armored warriors standing on both sides of the main hall, and then saw the regent sitting high on it, the face that sank to the extreme, confirmed this suspicion in their hearts.

Sure enough, when all the more than a dozen of the most core bigwigs of the empire sat down, Prince Chen, the regent of the empire, spoke:

"Bringing you here today is an announcement of my decision. The regent stood up, his eyes cold and heavy, and slowly swept the audience: "Imperial Prime Minister, Acting Minister of Leadership, Robschel." ”

The old prime minister immediately hurriedly walked a few steps and bowed slightly.

"Promulgating the Decree of the Emperor of Thorn Flowers!" Prince Chen's voice was low and slow, echoing in the hall word by word: "...... The army was expanded by 200,000, and according to the standard of the main battle corps of the empire, the prime minister Robustscel was ordered to act as the Minister of War, and the police department commanded Camichiro, with the title of baron, and the rank of general of the third rank of the imperial general, and the Minister of Finance Munes as the financial commander, and the four major theaters of the empire, and at the same time to call up the reserve for one year...... No, half a year! Within half a year, I'm going to see a new Imperial Main Battle Legion!"

Robeschel shook his body, looked at the face of the regent, and wanted to say something, but he closed his mouth stiffly--What's the matter? Didn't you just make a decision on the affairs of the north a few days ago, and only transferred troops from the south? Why did you suddenly decide to expand the army?

God, this is a whole main battle legion!!

The Chancellor of the Exchequer shook his body, his old face was wrinkled, and he suddenly gritted his teeth fiercely, walked forward, and said loudly: "Your Highness, I am against it!!"

The regent's Shen eyes swept over Old Munes: "Reason?"

"No money. The Chancellor of the Exchequer stubbornly carried the Regent's eyes, and the old man felt that the momentum of this Highness was extraordinarily majestic today.

"Hmph. Prince Chen sneered: "Munes, herald...... Starting today, the eight southern provinces, in addition to the two provinces affected by the snowstorm, will still ...... Four provinces in the southeast, four provinces in the north, and three provinces in the northwest...... Taxes...... Double!!"
