Chapter 482: The army opens, the situation in the north(1/2)
King Kusla looked gloomy. He wanted to say, "Without the king's order, who would have let you come back from the mining area!"
But when the ministers in the palace saw Duke Godzilla, they all looked like they were waiting for a savior, which made his words get stuck in his throat.
If you want the empire to be safe, it means humiliation; if you want dignity, it means death.
Although the ministers who had served him did not defect at this time, they were surprisingly unified on the matter of his brother returning to the north to join the war.
He actually knows in his heart that this is the best solution at present, but he really doesn't want to cross this hurdle.
It took a lot of effort to completely deprive your brother of his military power. Are you going to let him back now?
He looked at the man riding on the Moon Wolf King through the ministers, and the other man's gaze was still the same as before, not allowing him to violate it.
"Your Majesty, please put the safety of the empire first."
This time, even the Prime Minister of the Empire, Tristen, knelt down and spoke.
He is indeed loyal to Kusla, but now is not the time for you and your brother to fight. Your family will be lost.
King Kusla tightly grasped the armrest of the throne, gritted his teeth, as if he had made a great determination, and finally said: "Diluc! Select 30,000 elite soldiers of the imperial army. Although my brother went on an expedition, I now confer Duke Godzilla as the Imperial Conqueror.
General Beida, we must regain the lost territory in the north and retake the Great Wall!"
After giving the order, he felt a little exhausted and slumped on the throne.
The Empire has to command the imperial army. Of course, Duke Godzilla must be famous and well-organized. Otherwise, even if he takes in the remnant army of the Great Wall of the North, he will not be able to command in name.
It is the most stupid thing to ask Duke Godzilla to go to war without giving him the right to command.
After making up his mind, he decided to focus on stabilizing the situation.
Of course, he is not without selfish motives, because Marquis Gill is the Great General of the North and the official Presidential Commander-in-Chief of the three million defenders of the Great Wall.
He made Duke Godzilla the Great General of the Northern Territory, nominally on the same level as Marquis Gil, but he did not cancel Marquis Gil's position. In other words, in fact, both Duke Godzilla and Marquis Gil had the right to command operations in the north.
.
King Kusla still had a sense of luck in his heart, hoping that Marquis Gil would understand what he meant and perform well in the war, so that he would have a chance to squeeze out his brother after the war.
After hearing what King Kusla said, Lu Chen did not express or respond to accept the order. He just turned around on Anarius and walked out of the door, "Send the order to my house."
Then he looked at Diluc who was standing outside the hall, "Within an hour, I will see the Imperial Guard gathering in the north of the city."
Diluc felt aggrieved in his heart. He was obviously the commander of the Imperial Guards, but the king had given the order, so he naturally did not dare to make any mistakes in this kind of thing.
Moreover, apart from having few battles, the Praetorian Guards themselves have not slacked off in their training, and there are no old, weak, sick or disabled soldiers.
At the same time, as a human race, he naturally hopes that the situation in the north can be stabilized.
"yes."
Diluc gave a military salute and then left directly. He wanted to choose someone.
Lu Chen, on the other hand, rode away like a breeze on Anarius. He wanted to go back home, arrange some things, and wait for his general seal to be delivered.
A country's military mobilization naturally requires tokens. No matter how high his personal charm is, and no matter how much the Great Wall's army admires Duke Godzilla, it is better to have a regular commander in the name.
Returning to the Duke's Mansion, Lei Ze greeted him.
"Your Majesty, is there a war?"
There was no excitement on Lei Ze's face when he said this. He originally loved fighting, but now that the abyss has invaded his homeland, he naturally couldn't get excited.
It is a good thing that the Duke can make a comeback through this matter, but the price is too high, and the situation in the north is corrupt, and the Duke is not a god. With insufficient troops, it is difficult to say whether he can repel the Abyss.
"There is a big battle to be fought. Pack your bags and call your brothers to gather in the north of the city."
After Lu Chen gave his instructions, he asked Anarius to inform the Moon Wolf tribe waiting in the south of the city to go around to the north of the city first.
He quickly walked into the backyard. No one was allowed to enter this sealed courtyard except for him and a few of his most trusted subordinates.
"Your Excellency, the North Territory..."
Kirbymon asked hesitantly after saluting.
Their main mission also needs to be completed in the north. Now that they are fighting like this, it is very likely that they will go to waste.
"You don't have to worry about these. Just study the seeds with peace of mind. If you have the finished product, have someone send it to me."
Lu Chen asked again, "How is the progress?"
When Kirbymon heard this, he looked at the little fairy milk behind him. After all, he was not studying it.
The little fairy milk had just swallowed half a peach in one gulp when Lu Chen came over. It was suddenly attacked and it was impossible to continue chewing it in front of the Duke. It was too big to swallow, so the cheeks were bulging.
She was a little nervous. Under Lu Chen's gaze, she quickly chewed a few mouthfuls and swallowed it. She felt a little embarrassed and quickly explained: "I'm not lazy, I'm just resting now."
Seeing the serious look in the Duke's eyes, she did not dare to talk anymore, "The research is going very well, there is only one last step left, but we cannot guarantee the time. If it is fast, it may be one week, if it is slow, it may take three weeks, and there will be follow-up tests...
…”
Lu Chen raised his hand to interrupt Xiao Xian Nai's words, "If you are sure that there is basically no problem, just send me a batch first and then talk about it after testing."
After confirming the progress of the seed research, Lu Chen left the courtyard. Under the disappointed eyes of several stronger veterans, he told them to stay in the capital and protect Xiaoxian Nai and the others.
Research on seeds is a top priority, and he also needs spies in the capital, otherwise he will be blind.
An hour later, Lu Chen was outside the north gate of the city, looking at the 30,000 Imperial Guards lined up neatly.
Most of these guards had uneasiness hidden in their eyes, while some had admiration and awe in their eyes.
Not everyone wants to fight in the battlefield, and not everyone is opposed to going to the north.
But no matter what, the Guards at this time were neat in appearance and in good spirits. Diluc did not fool himself. They were indeed an elite part of the Guards.
Lu Chen raised his hand and pointed to the other side, where was the group of Moon Wolf Clan, "Do you see that side?"
No one from the Imperial Guard responded. The commander was giving instructions, but he didn't ask you to interrupt. He just followed Lu Chen's gesture and looked to the Moon Wolf clan on the right.
This time, without exception, everyone has strong expectations in their eyes.
Lu Chen continued: "The Moon Wolf Clan, the legendary monster, is the best mount that every soldier dreams of, and will be the most ferocious cavalry on the battlefield."
"Do you want to become a Moon Wolf Knight!?"
Lu Chen raised his voice.
"think!"
This time the Praetorian Guards responded in a uniform manner.
"The situation is urgent. You are now the best soldiers the king can provide, so you can become the Moon Wolf Knights."
Lu Chen looked at the excited guards and changed his voice, "But this is only temporary. Only the best people can stay, and the rules are very simple. First, you must stay alive."
He poured cold water on this group of "new recruits" who had never fought against abyssal creatures, and his original intention was not to "waste" the Moon Wolf clan on this group of people.
As he said, only the best people who survive will be qualified to continue serving as Moon Wolf Knights.
His eyes reflected the faces of young or middle-aged people. These people may have some family backgrounds and can become the elite of the Imperial Guard. In any case, they are all positive and good soldiers.
But how many of these people can survive this time when they follow him north?
Lu Chen said to Anarius who was squatting next to him: "Let the moon wolves choose the knights."
Because the comprehensive strength of the Moon Wolf Clan is much stronger than this group of guards, instead of letting people choose mounts, it is better to let the Moon Wolf Clan choose knights, which will also facilitate integration.
Anarius was a little reluctant, but he also knew the current situation. After giving instructions to the tribesmen, the moon wolves took steps one after another.
This is a strange scene. One by one, the moon wolves are walking through the Imperial Guards, sniffing this and that. Rather than selecting combat partners, they seem to be selecting ingredients.
The formation of the Imperial Guards dispersed, but everyone stood as straight as a javelin. The initial excitement subsided, and they felt hairy all over being sniffed by the moon wolves.
The matching process is very slow, but it is necessary. The sharpening of the sword does not waste the time of chopping wood. Lu Chen does not want to lead a group of soldiers who will fall off the Moon Wolf halfway.
Although they don't have riding equipment now, these soldiers are all trained with fighting spirit. If the Moon Wolf Clan cooperates, they won't fall off their backs.
Another hour passed, and there were already 30,000 Moon Wolf Cavalry standing in front of Lu Chen. Even though the combat effectiveness of this team was very subtle, he didn't expect everyone to do well from the beginning.
It is more likely that these 30,000 Imperial Guards will turn into ordinary infantry after he arrives in the north. If they are not effective in combat, they would rather leave the Moon Wolf Clan's backs empty than carry any people.
After all, the Moon Wolves themselves have very strong combat capabilities, and if the knights are too weak, their performance will be limited.
Lu Chen rode on Anarius and walked through the queue, the wind blowing the broken hair on his forehead, without turning around again to lecture, "Let's go."
Gu Lanting, Gree, and Lei Ze each commanded 10,000 people. Lu Chen, as the commander-in-chief, was responsible for tactical planning and leading the charge.
At this time, Gree was riding on a strong moon wolf with a silly smile on his face. He never thought that he would be able to ride on this thing in his lifetime.
However, he had to be silent during the march. He always followed the rules set by the Duke.
Gu Lanting, on the other hand, had an expressionless face, showing no emotion or anger. He was just trying to understand the running rhythm of the Moon Wolf Clan, trying to stay on the wolf's back with the least amount of effort.
The most excited person is Lei Ze, the former leader of the Cang Yuan Ice Wolf Legion, who "can't put it down" for the Moon Wolf beneath him.
It can be seen from the name he originally gave to his legion that he was a "wolf fan", but he never expected that one day he would actually lead the wolf cavalry, the legendary Moon Wolf clan in Warcraft.
Due to time constraints, the three cavalry regiments of 10,000 people have not been named, but Lei Ze has already thought about it. When the situation stabilizes in the future and the Duke reorganizes the regiment, he will name the new regiment the Moon Screaming Demonic Wolf.
Because it was an emergency departure, there was not much food and baggage, and the Imperial Guards only brought a week's worth of dry food. Depending on the situation, they would need to distribute it to the Moon Wolf Clan under them.
Although Lu Chen had storage rings and storage space, the two spaces were not large. It was enough to hold his own, but it was a fool's errand to think of holding the baggage of an army of 30,000 people.
Therefore, they must be fast and rush to the north as quickly as possible, where the Moon Wolf tribe will have new food sources.
To be continued...
