Chapter 48 Above the Great Hall
There is a rare atmosphere in the imperial palace, Qinzheng Hall, and the main hall.
The cause of the incident was that Marquis Jennings led nearly 40,000 Isaac remnants to surrender yesterday, and the army had already reached the southwest part of the Gyeonggi.
Unlike General Tianlu who brought Locke's army to vote a few days ago, Isaac's tens of thousands of people posed a problem for the Empire of Light, and the ministers in the court were divided into two factions with opposite positions.
"Your Majesty, you must not accept these Isaac's troops. They were forced to go to our ends and turned to us. They were still on Isaac's side. If you accept these people, it would be a big hidden danger to defend the imperial capital!" The person who spoke was Summerd, the acting commander of the City Guards. His words also represented the opinions of many people in the court.
"The Vice-President's words are indeed true. Isaac and other soldiers were desperate to join the Empire. If the Empire does not accept them, is it to kill these people next, or force them to surrender to the Sea or Norman army?" Craigie, the commander of the Southern Legion of the Empire, calmly confronted Summerd. The Southern Legion suffered a considerable loss in the battle with the Sea and the Army several months ago, and it was just when he was eager to replenish his troops.
Summerd was frozen suddenly. At this time, it would be a big fuss to attack the Isaac army, who is also a human warrior. If these people were pushed to the sea, they would even shoot themselves in the foot.
Prime Minister Gurnoro coughed lightly and spoke slowly, "Isaac's army is also a soldier of my Empire of Light, and it cannot be kept out during the national crisis. The three legions in the east, south and west of the empire all suffered considerable losses in the battle with the sea tribes, and they just broke up these soldiers from Isaac and were incorporated into various legions. The legions are all in the capital of the imperial capital, and they probably would not pose any threat to the defense of the imperial capital."
Gurnoro is worthy of being a scheming person. He resolved the problem without offending anyone, and Arthur's previous calculations were all about to fail.
At this moment, Grand Duke Amaya, who had been seriously injured and appeared for a long time, suddenly stood out from the queue. "The Prime Minister's plan is indeed good. Although the three major legions of the Empire have suffered a lot of losses, they have added many new recruits over the past few months. If they are incorporated into the Isaac warriors, they will be seriously over-the-job. Besides, don't forget that there are more than 40,000 new recruits who are also involved in the Locke Kingdom. Will these 40,000 people be dispersed and reorganized?"
The ball was kicked back, and the two factions in the court and China were quarreling, and the two sides finally had to look at the throne in the middle of the hall. The real decision-maker was actually behind the throne.
Emperor Grantham has never had any opinion, and he doesn't know how to deal with such difficult things.
"Just follow the Prime Minister's opinion, Locke's soldiers have also been dispersed and organized into the three major legions." A graceful voice came from behind the throne.
"I don't think this matter is right."
Since the emperor and the empress have spoken, if it were normal things, they will finally settle down, but they do not expect Prince Galah to speak suddenly.
"What's wrong with the prince?"
"The Empress Dowager may not be very clear. The rule set by the first emperor is to balance military power and prevent the commanders of the major legions from gaining power. If this red line is broken, there may be a commander of the 200,000 or 300,000 troops under his command in the future, which will lay hidden dangers for the stability of the empire!"
Prince Galah directly carried out the first Emperor of Light, and no one could refute it.
The emperor and the empress were stunned for a moment before speaking, "Does the prince have a solution?"
"The war is tight on Holo. Timothy has sent three letters of help to the empire. We have never had any remaining troops to dispatch before. Taking this opportunity, as long as we draw another 20,000 imperial private troops, we can mix a new army with Locke, and Isaac's army. The troops of both countries are veterans, and as long as we have a little rest and training, we can be sent to the northern border to support the Holo Kingdom."
Gallah's method has long been well thought out. In this way, the empire built a new legion, eliminated the hidden dangers of the imperial capital, and also supported the Kingdom of Holo. It can be said that it was a kill of three birds with one stone, and no one could object.
"It's so good, let's follow the prince's opinion." The emperor and empress agreed.
"There is another thing. Grand Duke Amaya has recovered from his injuries. It is legitimate to rename the city guards if they are appointed as the Grand Duke in person."
After Prince Galach's words came to an even stronger atmosphere in the hall.
......
There was also a palace meeting held in Haiya City and the palace hall.
Norman King Frans and the Prime Minister of the Sea Clan Lu Lan were not very optimistic, only the emperor Idir on the throne looked unrelated.
"Why did tens of thousands of coalition forces die in battle and the generals die in a battle?" Frans asked with his brow locked.
A military minister immediately took the report, "The detailed battle report has been sent back to the military headquarters. It is said that several dark magicians suddenly appeared. Not only could they control the bodies of soldiers who died in battle, but they also summoned a large number of hell monsters. The soldiers of both armies had never seen the hell monsters. The atmosphere of panic spread and their combat power was sharply reduced. The commanders of the two armies fled one by one, which led to a disastrous defeat in this battle."
"The Dark Magician participated in the battle?" This information obviously exceeded Frans' expectations, and immediately showed a strange expression.
Lu Lan knew less about the human dark magician, and he looked at Frans with inquiring eyes.
Dark magicians have always been circulated among the people as strange stories, and important formal information is rarely mentioned or paid attention to. Even Frans, the king of a country, does not know how to explain this.
"Don't Prime Minister Lu Lan know about the dark magician of my human race? I know a little bit." No one expected that Idir spoke with a smile.
Chiro was hiding beside him and personally experienced the outbreak of necro creatures in the Royal Hunting Ground. I'm afraid no one in the entire hall knows the Dark Magician better than Idil. Since the Royal Hunting Ground, Idil has been paying special attention to the situation of the Dark Magician in recent years and has collected a lot of relevant information.
When Idil finished telling the situation of several dark magician families he had mastered, Lu Lan's face became even more serious.
"It seems that the power mastered by the dark magicians is far beyond the expectations of the outside world. Now they are also involved in this war, and the subsequent wars may be even more difficult!"
Frans followed the situation and said: "Since the Church of Light joined the war, we have changed from offensive to defensive on the battlefield. If the second group of troops do not land, the situation will continue to deteriorate, and the lands they have captured before may be difficult to defend."
Lu Lan waved his hand, "The reinforcements have to wait a little longer. This time, the most important goal of Sea King is not to occupy the human land and retaliate against the various races on the continent, but to that big event, a large number of Sea Kings army cannot withdraw. What we need to do now is to harvest as much of the things in the occupied area as possible and lay the foundation for the Sea King's big event."
Speaking of that big thing, Frans wisely did not continue, but nodded.
His Highness's Minister of Military Affairs suddenly spoke again, "In this battle, the sea general Morrossi fell unexpectedly, and some soldiers reported that the blue aphrodisiac appeared on the battlefield."
Speaking of the blue charming girl, Lu Lan looked at Frans with a strange expression...
