Chapter 403: Volcanic Eruption
Amelia was originally Betty's maid, and was later awarded an honorary title, followed Betty to the battlefield to make meritorious achievements, and was exceptionally promoted to the first female general of the empire.
If Amelia is married to Lu Ming, what will the world think? will think that she is an ungrateful person, which will make Betty in an embarrassing situation.
"I've got the final say. Lu Ming said.
Amelia knew that she couldn't change Lu Ming's decision, and struggled to leave, but to no avail, she wanted to bite.
Suddenly caught a glimpse of Betty coming from a distance, and was frightened and motionless.
"Amelia, you go and deal with the robbers. ”
Lu Ming released Amelia free, and the female general turned around and ran away, without looking back.
"What's the matter with robbers?"
Lu Ming picked up Betty and found a bench to sit on.
Betty turned around and straddled Lu Ming's waist, and the maid quickly avoided it when she saw it, and consciously retreated.
"Two days ago, a group of robbers were caught attacking people queuing up in the royal capital, robbing money, and were caught by soldiers and placed in prison awaiting interrogation. ”
Lu Ming wanted Betty to stay in the mysterious space, which would be safer, but she had to insist until all the people were transferred and until the last day.
When it comes to the formation of the Flying Corps, Betty is full of light, she knows the importance of the army, and strengthening the army is the top priority.
Betty thought that at present, the standing army of the empire has a total of 300,000 infantry, 150,000 cavalry, plus 50,000 private soldiers of the royal family and descendants.
and 200,000 surrenders from the Duchy of Sain and the Duchy of Oros, and finally 10,000 personal guards and 20,000 city guards.
Not counting the Shadow Guards and the Blue Knights, there are a total of 700,000 troops, which is enough to overlook the entire Sincere Continent.
Among them, the combat effectiveness of the surrendered army is not high, and it is far less brave than the standing army.
Betty intended to select a thousand elite cavalry from among the 150,000 cavalry, and they would form a flying regiment, with those who were well trained given priority to be qualified to ride the flying mounts.
The rest are on standby as reserves, waiting for new flying mounts to join.
"Lu Ming, I love you to death!"
If the flying army is formed, the strength of the empire will increase again, Betty is naturally full of joy, and immediately hugged Lu Ming and kissed him.
Lu Ming pulled Betty's cheeks to stop her.
"You are now the king, and you are not ashamed. ”
Betty said proudly, "It's because I'm the king that I want to do what I want to do." Who dares to accuse me? Who dares to criticize me?"
Lu Ming scratched her nose.
"Who gave you the right to do whatever you wanted? Four hundred years ago, your ancestors were supported by the people to become kings, and now you inherit the throne because of your ability to handle government affairs and make the country more prosperous. ”
Betty admits her mistake on her face, but she doesn't really care much in her heart.
For thousands of years, the state has had its own rules of operation. The king rules over the people and exercises supreme authority. Benevolence means little to rule, and many times it requires ruthlessness in order for the country to be stable and long-lasting.
The royal family and the people are equal? This kind of thing will never happen, and it will provoke the people to revolt and make them want to sit on the throne.
Historically, usurpation has been the most intolerable sin of rulers, and Betty, despite her obedience to Lu Ming, firmly disagrees with his ideas in this matter.
The royal family must be above all of them.
"Lord Divine Messenger, there is news from the seashore that the tide has risen sharply, setting off a huge wave two hundred meters high, and the coastal sea is now completely submerged. ”
Red Qili told her that she did not move with the elven kingdom, but stayed in the palace of Pose to serve the elven queen Avril.
Lu Ming frowned when he heard this, and suddenly remembered a prophecy word: when the red magma and blue water come, he will lead people out of suffering.
Now all the prophecies have almost come true, only the red magma has not appeared, and even if the ground sinks, the magma stays underground and cannot harm the people on the ground.
"Magma, Betty, tell the soldiers to get the word out and keep people away from the volcano, no, from all mountains. Lu Ming said.
Betty believed Lu Ming, didn't even ask for a reason, and directly ordered the guards to convey the order to the commander of the city guards.
As soon as the words fell, I heard a loud bang, and the ground trembled.
A large amount of gray smoke appeared in the distance in the north, burning half the sky red.
"Volcanic eruption!" Betty exclaimed.
She remembered that there was indeed a volcano in the north, but it was an extinct volcano, and she didn't expect it to suddenly erupt today, and it would be so powerful.
"Gather the army to investigate and rescue!" said Betty.
PS: Write half of it today, and make up for it tomorrow!
