Chapter 460 The furious King Kusla, internal and external troubles

Facing those fanatical eyes, Lu Chen put away the regicide in his hand and turned around.

The wind of dark night blows in the wind, leaving a shadow on the backs of the soldiers on the Great Wall.

"Let's go back."

Lu Chen's voice was calm, but everyone present could hear it clearly.

This sentence was spoken not only to the veterans under the city wall in front of him, but also to the soldiers behind him.

"Your Majesty, we want to continue fighting with you!"

I don't know who shouted in the crowd, setting off a new craze.

"Yes, please come back, Your Majesty the Duke, we will still follow you!"

Looking at the soldiers who spoke one by one, Marquis Gill became furious and shouted: "Quiet!"

At this time, he knew that today's mission was considered useless. It would be better if the army did not mutiny, let alone charge and fight.

To his relief, Duke Godzilla did not respond to the soldiers' shouts, but slowly walked back to the city gate with his back to them.

He glanced at Duke Godzilla fearfully, then turned his horse's head and ordered: "Go back to the Great Wall!"

Seeing the soldiers still looking ahead, reluctant to leave, Gil looked gloomy and said with a stern voice: "Why, do you even have to violate this military order!?"

After hearing this, the soldiers mounted their horses reluctantly.

Although they admire Duke Godzilla very much, they still remember their responsibilities. Many people also need to eat, and Commander Gil is also an excellent commander. As long as they are not enemies of Duke Godzilla, they will not say this now. Just leave the team.

You must know that they dismounted and showed their respect by name. Perhaps Commander Gil could tolerate it for the sake of the overall situation, but if someone came out and surrendered to Duke Godzilla on the spot, the nature would completely change.

Even if the Death Scythe Legion is destroyed in name only, Marquis Gill will not hesitate to let most of the remaining soldiers who obey orders to eliminate the traitors in the army.

"Array up, return!"

Gil gritted his teeth and gave the order. In the more than ten years since he came out of the mountain, he had never encountered anything as frustrating as today.

The army came with a bang and left like a strong wind. However, during the process of turning back, the army was not as neat as when it came.

"Your Majesty the Duke, why don't you just lead your brothers and fight them?"

Gree scratched his head and said doubtfully. He felt that it was a good opportunity to directly instigate rebellion against his old brother and kill the little white-faced army commander.

Gu Lanting and Lei Ze looked at Gree as if they were idiots, and it was Lei Ze who said, "We are all brothers on the Great Wall guarding our homes. No matter what the outcome of a fight is, we will all die."

Gu Lanting looked at the expressionless Duke and felt very admirable. He was still able to control himself under such circumstances and take the overall situation into consideration. He was indeed worthy of the name of the guardian of mankind.

But what was Lu Chen actually thinking?

What he thinks is somewhat different from that of his subordinates. For him, as far as the current feeling is concerned, it doesn't matter if the abyss cannot be broken into.

Although Space placed him in the human race of the Aika continent, there is no faction to choose the mission. He can do whatever he wants, as long as he can make profits, gain more world exploration, and finally find a way to help Space capture this native place. Just ownership of the world.

Of course, he really did not want to cause civil strife in the army. If there had been a mutiny just now, it would not be a problem for him and a group of soldiers behind him to defeat the Death Scythe Legion.

After all, more than one-third of them are our own people. In this case, the military formation of the army will be completely unable to function. If it evolves into individual hand-to-hand combat, their side will definitely have the upper hand.

But what Lei Ze said was right. No matter what, these soldiers were warriors guarding the Great Wall and had made contributions to the human race. It was too unjust to be buried here because of the politicians' machinations.

And this is not good for his reputation. In a sense, if he had just instigated a fight with others, he would have really played into the hands of King Kuras.

A temporary gain, but his prestige in the military will also decline.

Do those soldiers who didn't go out to salute really have a bad opinion of Duke Godzilla? But not necessarily.

If a fight breaks out and the incident spreads to the Great Wall, the minds of many soldiers will change.

You can't do things solely based on your head's enthusiasm. This is something Brother Chu often reminds himself. And when Eriyi wants to have some space with him, she doesn't worry that she is "too reckless"

For the greater good and long-term planning, he must learn to think and plan.

The identity that Space has arranged for him is very good. It can be said that it is one of the most "developmental" identities in the world. He must make good use of it.

Lu Chen glanced at Alice, who was pulling beside Lei Ze, and was about to speak.

But Lei Ze seemed to see his thoughts first and said quickly: "Your Majesty the Duke, the old wolf is willing to continue to follow you, please take me with you!"

When he saw Lu Chen's eyes on Alice, he remembered that he was no longer a single man twenty years ago, and now he was accompanied by his daughter who had no strength.

Alice seemed to see her father's struggle, "Father can go with the uncles, and I can take care of myself."

She didn't want to drag down her father's dream. Every time her father told her stories about those years, his expression was always in high spirits. That must have been his lifelong pursuit as a man.

Lu Chen rarely smiled in front of his comrades and said: "Come together, don't worry, there has been no fighting recently, I will take care of Alice."

It is obviously inappropriate to separate their father and daughter. Mainly because there is famine in the north, and the old wolf has just fought against Linbei City today. If Alice, a teenage girl, is left here, isn't she waiting for death?

The surprise in Lei Ze's eyes could not be concealed, and he stood at attention and said: "Yes!"

At this time, the governor in the city had already fled, but in fact, Lu Chen was not interested in causing trouble for the other party. There was no point in wasting time.

"Let's go."

Lu Chen turned around and prepared to head to the remaining places in the North. The first round of his main mission was about to end.

"Your Majesty, don't you go to the Great Wall?"

Gree asked.

Lu Chen waved his hand, "I won't go. Going now will only shake people's hearts. The next time I go..."

He didn't say the next words, but Gu Lanting and Lei Ze already understood and were full of confidence in the future.

…………

Snapped--

The exquisite porcelain was smashed into pieces, and everything that could be thrown in the hall could not escape the magic hand.

"Waste! Waste!"

King Kulas was so angry that he went crazy, pointing at the old eunuch kneeling in front of him, "They are all trash!"

He stepped forward and grabbed the opponent's collar, "I asked him to lead the troops to suppress the Duke. He refused to give in and killed him. Why did it become a military parade!?"

"Your Majesty, calm down, calm down, take care of yourself."

The old eunuch looked panic-stricken, looking at King Kuras' eyes that were choosing and devouring people, fearing that the other party's head would get hot and kill him.

King Kulas knocked over the tea brought by the maid with one hand, but he felt that he was really thirsty after exercising for a long time in anger. He looked at the shivering maid and said: "Give me another cup, it needs to be cold."

He calmed down his breathing, returned to the throne, and looked at his confidant, "Where's Gil? What did he say? I want to talk to him."

The old eunuch hesitated and said: "Your Majesty... Marquis Gill said that it will take a while to stabilize the morale of the army, and the north of the Great Wall has not been very stable recently."

In fact, Gil's original words were not like this. The original words were "Don't think about dealing with your brother first. Let's solve the foreign troubles in the empire first."

But in the Sound Transmission Magic Crystal, Marquis Gil's tone and words were not very polite. He was afraid that if he told the truth, King Kuras would make a fuss again.

King Kuras pondered slightly, "Well, let's put this matter aside for now, I'll think about it again."

If this matter was not handled well today, not only would it not have the effect of suppressing his brother, but it might also improve the other party's reputation. He should be cautious in his actions in the future.

And he had to guard against the abyss. He was going to wait and see for a while to see his brother's attitude and actions.

Anyway, the military power is now completely in his hands. No matter how strong his brother is, he can't make any trouble with just a few veterans.

"In addition, Your Majesty..."

The old eunuch spoke hesitantly.

"What's up?"

King Kulas took the newly served tea from the maid.

"The Prime Minister wants to meet with you urgently..."

The old eunuch was very uneasy. After all, the king was in a bad mood now, and what the Prime Minister wanted to say would probably add more firewood.

King Kulas looked at the messy hall and said, "Let him come to me in the back garden."

Ten minutes later, King Kulas met with Imperial Prime Minister Tristin Hilbrent in the pavilion of the royal garden.

Tristin is an old man who is over a hundred years old and still in good spirits. His family was the first to seek refuge with King Kuras, so he has won his trust.

"Tristin, what's the emergency?"

King Kulas adjusted his mood and tried his best to face his prime minister with a warm smile.

"His Majesty."

Tristin stood up and saluted, "I just learned that the Western Territory is not very peaceful recently. The orcs are already preparing for war, and they..."

King Kulas composed himself and said, "Say."

Today he will no longer be angry.

Tristin cleared his throat and said: "...They said they want us to pay the annual fee, which can be paid in the form of grain. If we can't receive it before winter, the Orc King will personally attack the Newt Province in the west."

King Kulas stood up with a gloomy expression. If the person in front of him was not his prime minister, he might have lost his composure.

A little calmer, he asked: "How big is the estimated size of the orc army?"

"According to the scouts' investigation, preliminary estimates suggest that the number is at least 300,000, all of them elite."

Tristin's words made King Kuras frown even more.

The individual strength of the orc warriors is, on average, much stronger than that of the human warriors.

After many years of war on the mainland, various races have learned each other's strengths, and the orcs are no longer just skirmishers who can only rely on brute force to fight.

Their elites also have a relatively neat military appearance, and some joint attack military formations. It can be said that with the same number of people, the Human Race will lose if the number of people is less than 200,000, and the Human Race will be disadvantaged if the number of people is less than 300,000. Only when the battle scale is more than 500,000, the Human Race Only with excellent command can he compete with the orcs.

The premise is that their commander is good enough and the general at the front to boost morale is ferocious enough.

If the Orc King were to conquer in person, their generals would be no match. I heard that the Orc King of this generation, Bailong, was famous for his bravery.

At this time, there are only a few hundred thousand defenders in the Western Region, and they are all soldiers with little combat experience. Even if he transfers all the imperial guards from the royal capital, he may not be able to win.

Very troublesome...

Is it possible to mobilize the troops from the Great Wall?

"Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance. I hope you can discuss it with everyone at tomorrow's morning meeting."

Prime Minister Tristin's euphemistic proposal is actually saying that Your Majesty, you are addicted to women and haven't been here for several days.

Kulas nodded and said: "I will go, and please ask the Prime Minister to think more about the response plan after returning."

I feel a little regretful, it seems that I can't go to see Ruth again tonight.

…………

A burst of generous laughter echoed in the large tent on the grassland.

"Jius, your son is really good."

Bailon looked at the handsome young man from the fox tribe standing in front of him with satisfaction, drinking happily.

The young man is very special among the fox tribe. Unlike other fox tribes whose ears and tails are close to fiery red, his ears are snow-white, and his furry fox tail is also snow-white.

He was wearing a white robe, with an elegant temperament and a somewhat elegant air.

At this time, the man had a humble smile on his face, "It's all the bravery of the king and the tribe that led to this result."

"Fox, don't be too modest. You are much better than your father."

Bailon praised.

It was the young man in front of him who gave him a good idea.

Originally, he received news that the Great Wall Army in the North had called back to put pressure on Duke Godzilla, who had just been released from prison. However, after it turned into a military parade, his evaluation of Duke Godzilla rose to several levels. At the same time, There is also some hesitation about this war against them.

Although Bailong is brave and warlike, as the king of the grassland, he still has to consider the survival of all tribes. The war must be beneficial and cannot be fought randomly.

He and Jius discussed it once, but they couldn't figure out the reason.

If we don't fight, many orcs will starve to death this winter.

If they fight, if they push the Keya Empire into a hurry, they will actually be helping Duke Godzilla in disguise, and Duke Godzilla's return to the army may give them another heavy blow.

He actually knew that the north of the Great Wall was not very stable. What opinions and hatred did he have towards the human race?

That's nothing at all, it's just for the survival of the tribal people.

Unless he had to, he actually didn't want to do this kind of stabbing thing in the butt. What if the abyss struck when they were both losing?

Just when he was struggling, unexpectedly, Jius came over the next day and immediately gave him good advice.

He said that they could press eastward with a large army, but only suppress without fighting, and then asked the Keya Empire for "yearly money" to solve the food crisis.

Originally, if the Keya Empire had been internally stable, King Kulas would have gritted his teeth and taken on this battle no matter how incompetent he was.

But now it is clear that this battle is not easy to fight, and if there is no retreat from the fight, King Kuras may be extremely reluctant to use Duke Godzilla.

In this case, the probability of King Kusla compromising is very high, and their annual income is not as big as that of the lions. They only need to be able to support the orcs until the spring of next year.
