Monster Minotaur

Rook was once captured by Mo Yan and was one of the fifty Salt warriors who were detained. These fifty Salt warriors had already been brainwashed by Mo Yan when Thunder Bluff was still a cave. Although Luke is not as optimistic about Mo Yan as others, he still agrees with Mo Yan.

When he heard Mo Yan say that he wanted to build a country where monsters and humans coexist, he even had the urge to help him realize his wish. But impulse is just impulse. The characteristics of monsters that cannibalize people make them unacceptable. Maybe Mo Yan can restrain those monsters while he is still there, but what if Mo Yan dies?

Those monsters that were originally suppressed by Mo Yan's powerful power will definitely attack the humans in the kingdom immediately. Then the kingdom that was established will be destroyed in one day, and when we return to the current situation, all our efforts will be in vain. Luke didn't want to get involved in something that was destined to fail, so he just nodded casually and didn't answer.

Then Mo Yan made some jokes and saw that Luke didn't agree with his ideas. Mo Yan didn't feel any disappointment. After all, something like this requires breaking the inherent ideas, and there are still a lot of difficulties to overcome. It is understandable that Mo Yan doesn't want to get involved. After talking for a while and understanding Cabinda's future development direction, the dinner came to an end, and Mo Yan and Jones went back to their room to rest.

At this time, thousands of miles away in Carthage and Luxembourg, the princess of the kingdom was still dealing with the immediate government affairs, dispatching troops to the defense zone to replace the tired legions. Disposal of southern taxes, and collection of war materials. Arturia is now responsible for these things. After all, a twelve-year-old boy cannot stabilize the situation here.

On the way back from Elam to the south of Carthage, they encountered five or six assassinations. Serbo suffered some minor injuries, and Drizzt was still recovering from serious injuries. As the princess's knights, they had done well enough, and neither the king nor their princess was harmed.

Regarding the assassination, Arturia did not deal with these matters after coming to Luxembourg. Because now is the time to fight against foreign enemies, some internal conflicts can be dealt with slowly. Although some nobles who were loyal to the royal family also proposed that we must first pacify our country before we fight foreigners, Arturia did not take such measures.

He just called all the nobles together and issued a statement about the assassination. As long as no one will commit treasonous acts in the subsequent defense, past sins can be forgotten and sworn in the name of the honor of the royal family. The effect of this was obvious. Some people with evil intentions settled down and began to devote all their efforts to fighting against the Maro Empire.

But even so, the war remained a stalemate. Without internal resistance, Carthage, which should have fought back with all its strength, was restrained by Maro. Emperor Maro, who originally besieged the royal city, led his army that besieged the royal capital to the front line in the south of Carthage.

Caesar, the greatest emperor in the history of the Maro Empire, killed his incompetent and cruel father through rebellion. In just ten years, the army was trained to rectify the empire's internal affairs and improve the empire's laws. It brought the originally corrupt Maro Empire back from the brink of destruction and developed into a powerful country.

At this time, King Arthur of Carthage clearly felt Caesar's ambition to expand. It was decided to move the royal capital from the mild south to the north near Maro, and spend a lot of money to build a huge fortress at an important location between Maro and Carthage, which is where Arthur later died in battle. Fort Maginot.

But even so, Arthur still underestimated Caesar. When he learned about Caesar's construction of Maginot, Maro began to secretly prepare strategic materials and let the soldiers start training for war. And he launched a surprise attack on Carthage six months ago. After hearing the news, Arthur rushed to Fort Maginot, which had been built for one third, intending to guard it until the construction of the fort was completed.

Caesar, who knew full well that the construction of the bunker would be a failure, used a very risky tactic, using himself as a bait to bypass Maginot Castle and march towards the interior of Carthage. At this time, Maginot was already halfway built, and it would only take a few months to complete.

Caesar cut off Maginot's material transportation line, forcing Arthur to have a decisive battle with Caesar on a plain. Arthur, who was already a little older, lost the battle with Caesar and was eventually besieged by Caesar and died in Maginot. The twelve-year-old prince of Carthage was crowned, and the twenty-year-old princess began to participate in politics.

With the loss of Fort Maginot, Caesar's army was able to march forward and sent a large number of legions to bypass the royal capital and cut Carthage in two from the middle. Caesar provoked discord among the southern nobles, preventing them from breaking through the blocking troops in time and reinforcing the besieged royal capital. Eventually the royal capital fell, and the king and princess had to flee the royal capital and retreat to the south of Carthage through Elam.

After the princess returned to southern Carthage, she declared herself regent and acting king to handle affairs. The young princess performed very satisfactorily. Not only did she have a broad mind, she was also very skilled in politics. Using the method of coaxing and appeasing, the undercurrent among the southern nobles was quickly calmed, allowing Carthage to have the strength to fight against Caesar.

So Caesar gave up the captured royal capital? Artoria put down the report in her hand and asked the nobles in the hall who were also not resting: If a force can attack Caesar's rear at this time, we can even let him He retreated to the vicinity of Maginot.”

That's right. A nobleman with a goatee said: But obviously there is no such power nearby. The kingdoms near Maro are too weak to launch such an attack. And we can't circumvent it. Cross Caesar's defenses and project troops to his rear.

We can go to Elam. A young nobleman said: As long as we send a legion to Caesar's rear, even if it cannot make him retreat, we can still disturb his logistics line and cause holes in his defense line. Then we will Can concentrate on breaking through and regaining the occupied territory!

Baron Pork, that won't work! the goatee noble rebuked: The terrain of Elam is rugged, and there are Sartes who will not allow a regular legion to pass through the area they rule. . What's more, Elam is full of monsters. If the dispatched legions are not elite enough, they will all become dinner in the mouths of monsters before they even leave Elam.

The Salt people should be accommodating. Baron Poker said after being reprimanded: Aren't we doing business with the Salt people now? We have already made them make so much money and let our legions pass. It can be done at once. The problem of monsters can also be easily solved. As long as Grand Duke Obas said, wouldn’t it be enough to dispatch a sufficiently elite army?”

Business is business. Grand Duke Obas sighed and said: We have been doing business with the Salt people for a long time, but they will not make that choice. The kings of the past generations have made agreements with them, and they are not allowed to do business. Sending any regular legion like Elam, otherwise it will be a signal to declare war. And how many soldiers retreated from the south? How many came here through Elam? Not even one out of ten!

That's it for today. Artoria, who had listened for a long time with a frown, said, We will put this proposal on hold for now and wait until the time is right. The most important issue at the moment is to stabilize the front and unleash the potential of the Southern Province. training armies, and manufacturing weapons and equipment.”

I obey your will. A group of nobles bowed and saluted, and left the council chamber in twos and threes. Controversies arose from time to time during the walk. Some agreed with Pock's idea, but most thought it was too risky and would arouse the resentment and opposition of the Salt people. Arturia in the hall sighed and rubbed her aching temples.

I started to read the reports sent from various cities in the south, regarding the training status of the legions and the materials they wanted to consume. Looking at the accounts going in and out one by one, although it gave me a headache, I had to continue reading. At this critical moment, if you are not careful, your country will be destroyed. Arturia must be extremely cautious when handling things.

Sister, aren't you sleeping yet? Charlie, who had arrived in the hall at some unknown time, was wearing pajamas and asked Artoria, who was looking at the scroll report in her hand: It's very late now. If you don't get a good rest, your body will collapse. of.

If the kingdom collapses, then my health will be useless. Arturia said coldly: How was your homework today? Do you have any experience in business management?

I probably understand a little bit... Charlie said in a weak voice.

Then study hard. Artoria continued to read the documents and said, I will give you a complete country, and you can go to sleep.

Charlie looked at his sister, and finally left the meeting hall silently accompanied by the maid without saying anything.
