"Okay, everyone, stop arguing. Now is the most critical moment for the kingdom. We must find a way to deal with the orc invasion as soon as possible... Captain Shen, since you have put forward these three suggestions, what do you think? Which method should we take?" Queen Yan paused angrily with the magic wand in her hand, her face was very ugly. After all, for her, the most important thing now is not anything else, but to keep this foundation. Everything else seems not so important in front of her.
"Your Majesty, I think the third suggestion is the best and most likely way to hinder the invasion of the beastmen. At the same time, it is also the best way to reduce our casualties..." After a brief pause, I continued, "However, this action plan must have a prerequisite, that is, there must be reliable intelligence conditions. Otherwise, if our main force is ambushed, then our Kingdom of Yan will be in a desperate situation with no soldiers available."
"Mr. Shen's words make a lot of sense. So before we start the next round of cooperation with the Mocast Empire, we will use this as our way to resist the orcs. Now, I reappoint Mr. Shen as the commander-in-chief of this resistance to the orc invasion, with full responsibility for the mobilization of troops and the formulation of battle plans. Appointment..."
"Your Majesty, I suggest that Lord Victor take up this position, and the commander of the 7th Division of the Dragon Legion take up the position of deputy. The two of them will be fully responsible for resisting the invasion of the beastmen. I think with their abilities, they can definitely stop the invasion of the beastmen in the short term." I interrupted Queen Yann's appointment without caring about etiquette and respect. If I was given a title like this, it would go against the plan I just decided on.
"What? Mr. Shen is going to abandon our Yaen Kingdom? Without Mr. Shen's help, I'm afraid Yaen Kingdom will not be able to escape this disaster... Do you want to see this tragic scene?" The whole hall was full of discussions about my words, and many ministers who were familiar with me tried to dissuade me. Queen Yaen even stood up from the throne.
"Your Majesty, I have heard that Shen Xiang has been deeply grateful to the Emperor these days, and he will never do such a treasonous thing. However, the current situation and war situation are in front of us. Even if our Kingdom of Yan has united with the Mokast Empire, it is difficult for us to be the opponent of the beastmen, especially now that those beastmen have mastered a large number of magic crystal cannons, and they are even more capable of causing a devastating blow to our magician troops and magic cannons.
Therefore, before suppressing the enemy's new tactics and weapons, who will command the troops to resist is not a very important issue. Of course, with the steady Victor and the resourcefulness of the commander of the 7th Division of the Dragon Legion, I think they can definitely suppress the orcs' offensive.
I can also take this opportunity to return to my family and discuss with the elders in the family how to deal with the magic crystal cannon. At the same time, I can also replace the equipment of the two divisions of the Magic Dragon Legion that I have brought with me. "
"Alas! Actually, in my mind, Mr. Shen is definitely the best candidate to lead the team. But now that Mr. Shen has suggested so, I will respect his suggestion. And Mr. Shen's last suggestion about finding ways and equipment to deal with the magic crystal cannon is indeed a top priority. So let's do it according to his wishes! I hope you can find a feasible solution in the short term. Otherwise, the Kingdom of Yaen really can't afford this kind of trouble..."
Without much nonsense, Queen Yaen immediately issued an imperial decree, from the mobilization of troops to the appointment of the commander of the resistance force, and finally to my short-term duties and powers. Until the end of the court meeting, she did not ask me about the issue of changing clothes just now, and she did not even say a word about how to deal with the two divisions of troops in my hands. After leaving the palace, I hurriedly led more than two divisions of troops to my fiefdom.
But what I didn't know was that after I left, in Queen Yan's study, the kingdom's top officials, including two military and political ministers and Queen Yan, were continuing to make decisions at court.
"I didn't expect it! My Kingdom of Yan would actually have such corrupt and stupid officials, who would disregard the safety of the kingdom and arbitrarily change military intelligence and war reports for just a few thousand gold coins... And the damn Mocaster Empire would actually have such a general who would disregard the life and death of all mankind for personal rights. Parker, if you are caught by me, I will make sure you die a miserable death..." Without paying any attention to Queen Yan, the Minister of Military Affairs changed his fragile look in the court meeting, and now clenched his fists, roaring in the direction of the Mocaster Empire.
"Alas! I am also responsible for this matter. If I hadn't thought that the front line was about to enter a stalemate and transferred Shen Xiang back without authorization, this situation would not have happened... Magic Crystal Cannon... Damn Bout, in the report letter to the Mokast Empire and me, he actually said that all the available equipment and logistical supplies in the fortress had been destroyed. Alas! One wrong step, and there is no recovery!" Listening to the words of the old minister, Queen Yaen was also very upset. But in addition to these superficial things, she issued this order with the intention of eliminating the gap between her and the Mokast Empire. In addition, it was also because of her daughter's nagging in her ear. But these words could not be said clearly to the ministers.
"Your Majesty, now is not the time to discuss the responsibility for the accident. Although we all have certain responsibilities for this incident, the most urgent thing now is how to deal with the invasion of the orcs and how to prevent such incidents from happening again. I have no objection to the tactics proposed by Shen Xiang, but I think there is another way to deal with the magic crystal cannons in the hands of the orcs..." Seeing that the ministers, including Queen Yan, all looked self-blaming and guilty, the minister of state who was born a businessman stood up.
"Tell me, what's the solution?"
"It's very simple, but also very extreme. That is to use magicians to forcibly attack the magic crystal cannons in the hands of the orcs... Use the flying ability of our magicians to find the magic crystal cannons and then destroy them directly! Although from our intelligence, it seems that the orcs also have ultra-long-range throwing soldiers, but their attack method, although the range is long, actually has a big disadvantage, that is, it is difficult to shoot high and the accuracy is very poor. When our magicians enter their attack range, we can completely destroy all the magic crystal cannons before the magician troops are destroyed..."
"..."
For a moment, the dozen people present were shocked by the words of the Minister of State. Such an attack method, such a method, was something that these old Taoists could not and were unwilling to think of, but now, this plan was brought up in its entirety.
After a long time, the silence in the study was finally broken by a minister who could no longer bear it.
"Then... how should the magicians who participated in the attack protect themselves? How should they retreat?"
"They don't need to protect themselves... nor do they need to retreat..."
“…” (To be continued)
