Chapter 417 The Building Will Fall

Dunbu Great City, the palace meeting hall.

In the court meeting early in the morning of the next day, the eldest prince Kaia Saint Laurent received a battle report from downstream. The content of the battle report was self-evident, and it was naturally the news that the dynasty general Theon had died in battle.

The Battle Report details the full details of the war.

When the eldest prince made the battle report public, the entire court was shocked.

Although many of these people did not deal with Theon, even these political opponents highly recognized Theon's commanding ability, and his reputation as the number one wise general of the dynasty was not blown out.

Now Theon died at the hands of Veigar.

This news could not be ignored by everyone. They realized that it was not accidental that Veigar could be regarded as the number one enemy by the kingdom, but that he did have some real skills.

What's even more frightening is.

Veigar used a group of recruits who had never been on the battlefield, and even in the situation of extreme lack of supplies, they forcibly fought a bloody road, which is enough to explain the problem.

The eldest prince Kaiya rubbed his forehead in pain.

He looked around the court and said: "I have lost two senior generals in succession, but the situation in the downstream has not improved at all. I would like to ask if you have any opinions on the situation in the downstream, or who is willing to take the initiative? Please join the battle?"

There was anger in the words.

Can't tolerate the eldest prince Caia Saint Laurent's anger, Shia hastily promised the city of black gold to the empire, which caused him a lot of troubles that could not be solved.Now it is because of the east coast again. After he lost Admiral Felix, he lost his right-hand man Theon and 10 elite soldiers.

"East bank! East bank! East bank!"

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became. The eldest prince Kaiya Saint Laurent slammed the table heavily, and after making a deafening sound, he calmed down and repeated again: "Don't you usually have a lot of opinions? Why are you all dumb today!"

goo-dong-

Everyone swallowed their saliva, and after another period of silence, a general stood up to speak.

This is the number two figure in the dynasty's military and one of Theon's political enemies, Ferre Garry.

He is short in stature, with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks. He is the only one in his 40s who wears the rank of 5-star general. The reason why he can climb to this height is not because of his outstanding command ability, but because of his strong ability to observe words and deeds , was placed by the former king as a confidant in the army to check and balance Theon's monopoly of power.

So at this time, he took the initiative to stand up.

"Report to Your Majesty, I have something to say."

After bowing and saluting, Ferrie Garry said: "Although Admiral Theon unfortunately died on the battlefield, we can fully see from the details of the confrontation between the enemy and us that the enemy is already at the end of his battle, otherwise he would definitely not attack civilians."

"Once the civilians are attacked, it means losing the hearts of the people."

Fei Lie Jiali said loudly: "So the officer thinks that the army on the east coast is not long alive. We only need to send a general who is good at defense to sit in the city of megaliths, so that the enemy can be destroyed without attack."

"If it was that simple, I wouldn't be in such a rush to get Theon back."

The eldest prince sighed, and chose to publish another battle report that he received not long ago. This battle report came from the City of Black Gold, and it was naturally about the war with the empire.

It can be seen from the First Prince's expression that this is not a good news.

Quite the opposite.

The battle report stated that the imperial army was attacking ferociously. Without an increase of 10 troops, the safety of the Black Gold City would not be guaranteed.

Although it's unbelievable to say it.

But the thing is, as the defenders of the city, their 30 army was at a disadvantage when they were beaten by the empire's army of less than 20. If there were no follow-up reinforcements, the Black Gold City might fall directly.

It was precisely because of this battle report that the eldest prince couldn't wait to let Xi En end the downstream battle as soon as possible. However, even he never thought that Xi En would lose to a group of mobs when he had all the advantages.

As soon as the battle report was made public, the court was once again in an uproar.

"How did Admiral Bree command the city defense battle!"

"It's unbelievable, an army of more than 30 can't resist an imperial army of less than 20?"

"Everyone really doesn't hurt their backs when they stand and talk, don't forget the prestige of the Imperial Army."

"..."

One person spoke one word, and the court was full of noise, but everyone didn't say anything.

Ferrie Garry suggested after a little thought: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I think you can transfer the remaining 10 main force from the City of Boulders to the City of Black Gold at any time."

"Wouldn't that mean that the city of giant stones will be handed over?"

Kaia Saint Laurent frowned and said, "The City of Boulders is a downstream strategic city. Losing it not only means that we will lose control of the downstream, but also means that we will lose two giant granaries."

Downstream is the main source of grain in the West Bank.

There is a plain behind the city of megaliths, and losing the "monolith" that guards the plain means that they have lost the food production area that can support millions of troops, so this city of megaliths cannot be lost no matter what.

"Your Majesty, don't forget, we still have reserves."

Ferrie Garry smiled: "We can gather more than 20 reserve troops at any time and send them to the city of megaliths to garrison. Although their combat effectiveness cannot compare with the main force, the enemy's recruits may not even be as good as our reserve troops. , so using these reserves and dispatching a general who is good at defense can keep the downstream safe.”

The eldest prince's eyes lit up.

He nodded again and again: "What General Feilie said is reasonable, I will leave this matter to you. Besides, who does General Feilie think is more appropriate to send to command this war?"

"How can you kill a chicken with a sledgehammer, my subordinate recommends Lieutenant General Aiden."

Fei Lie winked at a rather young fat man in the crowd. He quickly stood up and was about to say a few words, but his left foot mixed with his right foot, and he fell directly to the ground in a somersault, making everyone want to laugh but dare not laugh .

"Your Majesty, I will ensure that the lower reaches are safe."

Aiden scrambled to his feet, before he even had time to wipe off the sweat on his forehead, he quickly promised.

"Then leave it to General Eden."

The First Prince seemed to want to veto it, but he was concerned about Fei Lie Aiden's face. After thinking about it, he couldn't stick to such a simple matter. A lieutenant general was enough to handle it, so he didn't say anything more.

Once the idea is finalized, the court meeting will end here.

At this time, Aiden also thanked Ferrie Gary with a straight face: "Thank you for your uncle's recommendation, my nephew will live up to your expectations, personally lead the troops to calm down the downstream, and let that kid like Wei, Wei, Wei know how powerful he is. "

"You remembered it for me!"

Ferrie Garry said with a cold face: "This time you go downstream, you are not allowed to step out of the city of megaliths, I will arrange a staff officer for you, and he alone will decide the big and small affairs, and if you mess up again, you will take the blame and resign .”

"Yes, yes... my nephew knows."

Aiden was submissive, lowering his head and not daring to look at Fei Lie, but there was dissatisfaction in his eyes.
