Chapter 167: The troops are at the city (I)

In the palace of the Holy Light City, the Shadow Empire army also panicked because of the sudden attack of the Shadow Empire army, and the northern defense line collapsed. The entire northern territory of the Light Empire was trembling under the horse's hooves of the Shadow Empire. At the same time, the main force of the Shadow Empire was panicking towards the Holy Light City.

The atmosphere seemed a little nervous on the main hall of the palace. Donald sat on the high throne and looked down at the ministers below. These ministers who were usually showing off their power were speechless at this moment. Some people still couldn't hide their terror on their faces. Obviously, they had no confidence in whether the Holy Light City could withstand the attack of the Shadow Empire.

"Hmph! Tell me, now the Shadow Empire army is heading south and coming straight to the city of light. The army is talking about what should we do?" Donald said angrily. This morning, as soon as he received the news from the front line, he was furious and threw countless bowls and plates. Sometimes he even thought that he was not suitable to be this emperor. Why did he come one by one after another after becoming emperor?

"Your Majesty, we should immediately summon other legions to the City of Holy Light. Five legions were lost on the front line, but we still have fifteen legions, plus the Imperial Guard Legion and the City Guard Legion, a total of seventeen legions, and the Shadow Empire only had eight legions to go south. We are not without the power of a battle." An old general with gray hair and beards said, saying that he was the Minister of Military Affairs of the Empire of Light.

"Hmph! You still have the face to say, who promised me last time that the northern defense line was solid. But in less than three days, millions of troops were wiped out by the enemy!" Donald cursed.

Borg's old face turned red. He did praise the Haikou in front of Donald. Last time Patton proposed to send more troops to the northern defense line, but Borg didn't want Patton to interfere too much in military affairs, so he assured Donald that the northern defense line was as solid as a defence of five legions. Even if he encountered twice as many enemies, it was enough to hold on until reinforcements arrived. But the fact slapped him hard. Under the attack of the eight legions of the Shadow Empire, the Dark Legion and a large number of necromancers, the five legions of the northern defense line did not hold on for even three days.

"Your Majesty, according to the information sent back from the front line, the elite Dark Legion of the Shadow Holy See also joined the attack. At the same time, a large number of undead mages were also among them. Our army was besieged by the Shadow Empire army and the Undead Legion, so it failed quickly." Borg defended.

"The Empire and the Shadow Empire have fought for so many years. Can't you even consider this? Don't you know that there is a union of the Shadow Empire? Besides, there are precedents of the union mages participating in the war in previous battles. And, based on reliable information.

We lost five million people, but the shadow empire's losses were less than half a million people. Ten to one battle loss! At this ratio, the empire's army could not defeat the other party even if it had ten times more troops!" Donald said angrily.

Borg had to lower his head and stop talking.

"Your Majesty, the newly recruited army has not been systematically trained, and many of them have not even finished training. At this time, they have only increased casualties. And they have also lost the war potential of the empire. I think it is better to order the newly established ten legions to continue to strengthen training," Patton suggested.

"But what to do with the Holy Light City? The Shadow Empire is coming in full force this time!" asked a minister.

"Your Majesty, the situation in Holy Light City is worrying now. I think we should move the capital south immediately!" Another minister suggested.

The entire hall suddenly became quiet. Moving the capital was clearly just about running away.

Sure enough, Donald seemed to have been stepped on his tail and immediately shouted: "The Empire of Light has never given up on the Emperor of Holy Light City. Come and drag this person who dares to shake the morale of the army to me and chop it out!"

"Ah! Your Majesty, please spare me! I'm just talking nonsense!" The minister begged for mercy quickly, but Donald didn't even look at him. The court guards, who were like wolves and tigers, rushed in and dragged the minister who was still shouting out. Other ministers who also wanted to escape did not dare to speak, for fear of the same fate.

"In the future, if anyone who raises the capital and flees, he will be treated as treason!" Donald was still unhappy. In the tens of thousands of years since the founding of the Empire of Light, no emperor has ever mentioned moving the capital. Of course, no one can threaten the Holy Light City.

"His Royal Highness Patton, what is the reaction of the Holy See?" Donald asked.

"The Holy See is already asking the people of the Empire to unite and fight the attack of the Shadow Empire together. Therefore, we gather the remaining seven legions and rely on the City of Holy Light, we can completely withstand the attack of the Shadow God. "Prince Patton said affirmatively.

Donald also believes that the Holy See will not let it go. As long as the Holy See is supported by the Holy See, the Shadow Empire will now attack fiercely, not terrible.

"Okay, just do what you said!" Donald said finally.

After the dispute in the hall ended, Patton immediately issued various orders. The remaining five legions of the Light Empire immediately advanced towards the Holy Light City and prepared to resist the attack of the Shadow Empire.

After dealing with these, Prince Patton immediately rushed to Wang Biao. He needed to know what Wang Biao was doing. When he arrived, he realized that Isabella had just arrived.

"Solick, now that the Shadow Empire's army is heading south, can the Holy Light City be defended?" Isabella asked with some concern. After all, millions of people in the northern defense line were wiped out so quickly, which greatly damaged people's confidence.

"His Excellency Patton, don't know what the Empire is going to do?" Wang Biao asked instead of answering Isabella's question.

"Sir, the empire has ordered the remaining five legions to quickly move closer to the City of Holy Light. With the Imperial Guards and the City Guards, we are still very sure to resist the Shadow Empire. The remaining ten newly recruited legions will step up training and save for future counterattacks! However, some worry is that the Dark Legion of the Shadow Church and the Dead Mage of the Dead Mage also participated in the attack. Ordinary army may be difficult to withstand the attacks of the Dark Legion and the Dead Mage." Patton replied immediately.

"That's good! The empire has such ambitions, I believe that it will be able to withstand the army of the Shadow Empire. In addition, I have ordered the Guardian Legion of Light to move closer to the Holy Light City. When they arrive, naturally there is no need to worry about the Dark Legion." Wang Biao said with a smile. The overall strength of the Guardian Legion of Light is slightly inferior to that of the Holy Light Church and slightly inferior to the Dark Legion. However, it is not difficult to withstand the attack of the Dark Legion with the assistance of other legions.
