Chapter 483 Ministers who are afraid of death
If the Abyss attacks the city regardless of the cost and then attacks it, the defenders will enter hand-to-hand combat and lose the geographical advantage of the Great Wall, and there will be no combat advantage at all.
If the troops are completely destroyed again, then retreating to preserve the remaining strength to fight guerrillas is the best choice. Tactically speaking, Marquis Gill's judgment is correct.
But that is tactical. From a strategic and rational point of view, we should not retreat under any circumstances!
Once the Great Wall is evacuated and abyssal creatures take over, the continent's situation will be completely reversed.
The abyssal creatures can use the Great Wall as an outpost to gather and continuously increase their troops, eyeing the Aika continent.
But if the Keya Empire now wants to stabilize the situation, it will be difficult to clear out the abyssal creatures in the northern territory, let alone recapture the Great Wall.
Abyss creatures are also intelligent creatures, and they can also defend the city!
Trouble, unprecedented trouble.
This is not only for the Keya Empire, but also for all explorers who are still in this world and have not yet obtained the qualifications to return.
Once the abyss strikes, no one will be immune.
Explorers can hide and run, but what about the main mission?
Just like Lu Chen, he is also planning to complete all four branches of the main mission, one of which is to regain the hearts and minds of the people in the north and solve the famine there.
But now the northern border may be almost destroyed by abyssal creatures. After a while, how many people are still alive is a question.
"Pack your bags and return to the capital."
Lu Chen stood up and made a decision immediately. He didn't want to waste a moment. At the same time, he used the Seal of the Moon God to call Anarius.
Then he looked at Akashi and said, "Old friend, although I am a little cheeky, I would like to ask you to help me build a set of mount equipment that is suitable for the Moon Wolf clan."
Chi Xu looked solemn, nodded and said: "Okay, how many kits do you want?"
"Thirty thousand sets. The resources in the mine here are available to the dwarves. If the cost of production is insufficient, I will definitely make up for it in the future."
Lu Chen's statement at this time was beyond his authority, because he did not have the right to withdraw from this mine at all. It was the property of the empire.
But Chi Xu didn't care about this. This was the first time the Great Wall had been breached.
This is the time when all races need to work together, and the dwarves have always been very dedicated.
They are not the ones carrying the front line now, but they can provide equipment support.
And he also felt that as long as Duke Godzilla returned to the royal capital and returned to the battlefield, it would mean that his former rights were restored. What was the right to control the mine?
The light figure fell outside, and it was Anarius who had arrived.
"There is no time to explain. Let this legendary dwarf craftsman observe the size of your Moon Wolf tribe."
Lu Chen walked up to Anarius with Chi Xu.
Anarius was a little awkward and was about to refuse, but when he saw Lu Chen's serious look and gloomy eyes, he surprisingly didn't speak again and just stood there obediently.
Watching the dwarf craftsman observing his body shape, he felt vaguely that something big might have happened.
"No problem. Do you want new armor and weapons?"
Chi Xu looked around and found that there were records of the Moon Wolf Clan within their clan, but now they were just confirming it.
He knew that Duke Godzilla was preparing to form the Moon Wolf Cavalry, but whether it was a wolf or a horse, if a person riding on it wanted to stabilize his body and use force to chop, he needed matching saddles and stirrups, otherwise the combat power would not be complete. play.
"This will not be used for the time being. Prioritize building riding equipment."
Lu Chen shook his head. It takes time to build equipment. Soldiers in the army already have weapons and armor.
"Hongmei, you return to the tribe and mobilize the tribe to build it, in my name."
Chi Xu took out a brass-colored token, handed it to his men, and looked at Lu Chen, "Even if we try our best, it will take half a month to build the equipment. Once it is completed, people will be sent to the front line."
"Thank you."
Lu Chen nodded. They definitely wouldn't need this set of equipment now, it was just a follow-up to a protracted war.
Lu Chen quickly gave instructions on various matters in the mine, and when Anarius gathered the wolves together, he was ready to set off directly.
His side mission only requires his backers to dig enough, and does not force him to stay here.
The upper limit of the difficulty of the task is a nightmare. Just because of the trial of the Moon Wolf Clan, all dangers are now lifted. Even the monsters in the Monster Mountains have been hunted by the Moon Wolves. Mining is naturally safe. He doesn't You need to stay here to complete the mission.
He must now rush back to the royal capital, gather his men, and head straight to the north.
King Kusla’s consent? The legitimacy of the military?
Go for the special code!
By the time I finished Tai Chi with that stupid brother, the day lilies in the north were already cold.
If Abyss stabilizes the situation, everything will be over and no one will be able to live well.
It's just that Lu Chen is a little strange now. It's not like he didn't take a look at the world's public screen yesterday. He remembered that there were several explorers on the Great Wall in the North. Why didn't they mention this on the world's public screen?
The explorer's life-saving ability is very strong, especially since he is assigned to the army, which means that his combat ability is not bad.
How could they all be dead?
…………
To the north of the Warcraft Mountains, the trees were swayed by the strong wind, and ice-blue torrents passed by.
At the front of the wolf pack, on top of the tall giant wolf, was Lu Chen with a solemn expression.
Riding under him is Anarius. After all, our Moon Wolf King cannot escape a certain law.
The process of the incident was also very bizarre, and Lu Chen didn't understand Anarius's brain circuit.
Originally, he was riding another stronger Moon Wolf. When he was about to set off, Gree came over, looked at the Moon Wolf under him and said with emotion, "The Duke is so majestic riding the Moon Wolf King."
Anarius was next to Lu Chen at the time. He was stunned for a moment, then tilted his head and looked at Gree.
Do you think this guy has bad eyesight? I'm here, why are you looking over there and saying that! ?
It took two seconds for it to react. It turned out that in the eyes of outsiders, Duke Godzilla had regained the Moon Wolf Clan, so of course he was riding the Moon Wolf King, so the one being ridden by Duke Godzilla was the Moon Wolf Clan. leader.
There seems to be nothing wrong with this thinking...
But the problem is, I am the Moon Wolf King! ?
It glanced unkindly at the moon wolf named Nafis that Lu Chen was riding, and the look in its eyes seemed to say, "Do you want to usurp the throne!?"
Nafis felt wronged and helpless, trembling under the gaze of Anarius.
And this was not over yet. Gu Lanting came over, the light in his eyes flashed away, and he looked at the moon wolf that Lu Chen was riding and said, "Indeed, the moon wolf king is really a powerful warrior."
Now Anarius was unhappy. Could it be that in the eyes of outsiders, the Moon Wolf King was now Nafes?
How can this work! ?
I am the Moon Wolf King!
Come on, praise me!
Why praise it?
Praise me!
Then the fatal blow came when Lu Chen nodded, "As my mount and combat partner, the Moon Wolf King is of course the most powerful."
Anarius was stunned. His eyes looked at Gree, Gulantin, Nafes, and finally Lu Chen.
I was just... usurped by default?
Now the new Moon Wolf King is not me?
That won't work!
So Anarius raised his hand, slapped the waist of Nafis next to him with his flesh pad, and slapped him away.
Fortunately, Lu Chen jumped quickly and was not taken away.
When he fell freely in the air, he landed on the back of a moon wolf. It would be better to say that he was caught.
Well, the moon wolf who caught him was Anarius.
Anarius's eyes shone brightly and he looked at Gree and Gulantin, meaning again, do you see, I am the Moon Wolf King.
Gree was still a little confused and stared at him, but Gu Lanting still looked astonished. "Oh, it turns out I saw it wrong just now. This is the Moon Wolf King. He really looks more majestic."
Anarius felt satisfied now, but he realized that he seemed to be being ridden, and felt very awkward. He was also afraid that others would notice his little thoughts, so he raised the wolf's head at a forty-five-degree angle, "Hmph you Don’t get me wrong, it’s just that this king is a wolf who keeps his promises.”
After this episode, Lu Chen led Gu Lanting, Gree, and the 30,000 Moon Wolf tribe straight to the royal capital.
The Moon Wolf Tribe is indeed the most agile monster on land, and it only took half a day to reach the royal capital.
When the defenders on the city wall saw a group of ice-blue monsters rushing towards the royal capital, they were so frightened that they almost fired their city-defending crossbows. They stopped after seeing clearly that the leader of the wolf was Duke Godzilla.
The Thirty Thousand Moon Wolf Clan stopped outside the city gate. Lu Chen raised his head and said with a stern expression, "Open the city gate."
The defender felt a little trembling after being looked at like this, but it was the general behind him who came over and relieved the siege.
"Your Majesty Duke, you don't want all the Moon Wolf Clan to enter the city. That would cause a big mess."
The guard general said with a gloomy face, but his tone was not tough, because they all knew about the fall of the Great Wall. The situation in the royal capital was now chaotic, and Duke Godzilla might be coming back soon. He didn't want to offend him now. people.
Lu Chen said to Anarius: "Let everyone wait outside the city while we go in."
Anarius gave orders to the wolves in the moon wolf language, and the moon wolves squatted down one after another, and the formation turned out to be quite orderly.
Seeing this, the guard on the city opened the city gate without further delay. Lu Chen rode Anarius and drove straight in, followed closely by Gree and Gu Lanting.
The streets of the royal capital were very deserted today. Because the people were uneasy after hearing the news from the north, and the situation in the royal capital was chaotic, many people were hiding at home.
But there were still a few people who saw the figure riding the legendary monster.
At this time, in the palace, hundreds of ministers were kneeling in the main hall, and on the throne was the gloomy King Kusla.
One of his hands held the sides of the throne tightly, his arms shaking slightly.
At first he was angry. He threw a lot of things in the hall and scolded Marquis Gill for his incompetence.
Obviously he trusted him so much that he gave him the strongest army and the position of commander in chief of the Great Wall, but the Great Wall was lost.
Gill sent a message that he had preserved his vitality and weakened the power of the Abyss in a guerrilla war.
But that’s useless!
scandal!
What a huge scandal!
The first time the Great Wall was breached since its establishment was precisely when he was on the throne.
What will the people think and what will the history books say? ?
But after the anger, fear followed, boundless fear.
The Great Wall has been broken, hasn’t the abyss already broken in?
And their human race is on the front!
Now the abyss is raging in the north, what about a month from now? Are we reaching the hinterland?
What about another two months? Did... just hit the royal capital?
What to do then? Looking for help? To the orcs? Or to the dwarves?
What if they don't come to rescue? Am I going to die on the throne?
King Kusla was really panicked now. He never imagined that the Great Wall would be broken suddenly after it had been in good condition.
Hearing about the emergency yesterday morning, although he was nervous, he could barely keep calm and blocked the news from the people of the royal capital, especially since he didn't want his brother to know.
He didn't want Duke Godzilla to threaten himself with the safety of the empire after learning about this.
But when he heard that the Great Wall had been breached, he could no longer remain calm, and the news could not be concealed. It spread throughout the capital in one day.
He still didn't want his brother to come back at that time. He finally sent his brother to the Warcraft Mountains. So what if you become the master of the Moon Wolf Clan?
As long as you are a member of the Keya Empire and a subject of the empire, you must obey orders and stay there well.
But this afternoon, the ministers jointly submitted a letter and convened an emergency meeting.
At this time, the hundreds of imperial ministers kneeling in the palace were all suggesting... Let Duke Godzilla come back and lead the army to regain the northern border and the Great Wall.
King Kusla was angry and scared now. He was angry that these ministers were so afraid of death. Before the abyss came over, he started shouting for his brother to come back.
But...he is also afraid.
So now I am very confused.
He just wants to wait for when Marquis Gill can contact the royal capital and give him good news.
He hoped to get some sleep and receive news when he got up tomorrow that Gil had led the army to break through the abyss, retake the Great Wall, and stabilize the territory.
He also hoped to find out when he woke up that it was all just a nightmare.
"Your Majesty, now is not the time to be angry. The safety of the empire is the most important thing!"
The empire's chief quartermaster buried his head on the ground and shouted loudly.
"The safety of the empire is paramount!"
"The safety of the empire is paramount!"
The ministers shouted one after another, and most of them did not like Duke Godzilla.
Because he is a murderer, and he is selfless and has no tolerance for corruption and other dirty deeds. They are afraid of this Duke, but no one can deny this Duke's military talent and personal strength.
Marquis Gil is also good, but not nearly as impressive as Duke Godzilla.
It was as if he was a military god...invincible!
The ministers are afraid that everyone is living the life of a pampered master. Who wants to die? ?
Even if Duke Godzilla is restored to power, at most they can be more honest, which is better than being eaten by creatures from the abyss.
"Report——"
A scout from the Praetorian Guard broke in outside and shouted: "The Duke has arrived outside the palace!"
The ministers all stood up and looked back. King Kusla sat on the throne and looked towards the square outside the palace.
An icy blue stream of light passed through the Lion Gate. The man's robes above him rustled, and the roaring lion emblem on his chest was so dazzling.
In an instant, they entered the palace, and the Moon Wolf King's powerful aura mixed with the man's majesty filled the entire hall!
"Deploy 30,000 elite guardsmen to follow me north."
The man said in a tone that left no room for doubt, with a look of supreme majesty in his eyes, as if he was the one sitting on the throne, and he was actually giving orders to the king!
