MTL - Heroes of Silver Moon-Chapter 625 : acting as king

"Simon, Simon, it's bad! Beyond the Great Wall was defeated, the entire army was wiped out, and the king's life and death are unknown!" Deborah ran to report to Simon in a panic.

boom! A punch hit the desk, and Livia and Alice in the bedroom were taken aback. Simon gritted his teeth when he heard the news, and growled, "These idiots are satisfied now!"

There was a dead silence in the study, and Deborah, Harris and others stood silently, waiting for Simon to give orders.

"When did it happen, and what is the specific situation?" Simon asked quickly after venting his emotions.

"It should have been twenty-five days ago. Buluo Fortress lost contact with the army outside the Great Wall. The specific situation is unknown."

"Ten days ago, the orc army besieged the Buluo Fortress. The Knights of Bronco led the King's Shield to break through. The news spread to various places through the royal family's magic communication. The royal family asked the lords everywhere to go to the royal capital immediately to join the battle!"

After listening to Deborah's report, Simon walked around the study anxiously, thinking carefully about what to do.

After a long time, he stopped in front of the window, looked out of the window blankly, and asked, "How is the situation of the new army? Can all of them participate in the battle?"

"All?" Harris asked with difficulty.

This means that the territory will become defenseless. Once there is chaos at this moment, the consequences will be disastrous.

"Yes, all will join the war, no one will be left behind, and the territory will be guarded by the Public Security Department and the Militia Department!" Simon said with certainty.

There must be no hesitation at this fatal pass. Once the orc army captures the Silver Moon Kingdom, the security of the territory will be meaningless.

"The current establishment of the new army is a division, which includes two brigades, a logistics regiment, a guard regiment, and a cavalry regiment. There are almost 10,000 people in the early days, but many of them are new recruits. I can't guarantee that they will Discipline and combat effectiveness." Harris replied helplessly.

The new army originally had only 6,000 people. After the battle with the Rosen family, there was a mutiny, and more than 2,000 people were executed by Simon at once. After counting, there were only 3,500 to 600 veterans.

Those who later merged into the new army from the Gaoshan collar, and many recruits who were recruited, had only received a few months of training. Although they had fully integrated into the new army, they were still somewhat unsatisfactory.

"If you can't do it, you have to!" Simon said decisively: "We have no other choice now, but to gamble with all our strength!"

"Understood, I'm going to let the troops assemble!" Seeing that Simon said all this, Harris no longer shirked, and immediately set off to gather the troops stationed in various places in the territory.

"Deborah, do we have enough ammunition?" Watching Harris leave, Simon looked at Deborah again.

"Very sufficient. According to your instructions, the ammunition production line has not stopped. The newly built gun production line is also producing rifles and pistols day and night." Deborah replied briefly.

"Very good, I brought most of the ammunition with me this time. You organize the militia, and then recruit the young and strong in the territory to join the army, and conduct drills according to the model of the new army. Don't stop the production line. Once the battle in the north is defeated , these people will play the role of the reserve team." Simon ordered with a cold face.

"I understand." Deborah also knew the seriousness of the problem, so she didn't dare to neglect it.

 …

It took three days to prepare the army, and Simon led the new army to Doherty City to join the Third Army under Grand Duke Gasepe.

In order to make up for the lack of professionals, Simon's father, Valery, and the old knight, Sivir, also chose to join the new army.

After five days of rapid march, the new army quickly arrived in Dougherty City. Simon saw that many lords had already brought their troops to meet up.

The new army was stationed outside the city, and Simon and his father Valery entered the city to discuss matters at the Grand Duke's mansion.

"Your Excellency, I think you should seriously think about it. Once the Buluo Fortress falls, the entire northern border will be in danger. Why don't we defend the Valdai Hills, so that we can at least keep the southern border!"

Simon, who hadn't started yet, immediately darkened when he heard this.

The Valdai hills are the dividing line between the north and the south of the kingdom. The terrain is complex, and it is indeed a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Compared with the northern border, which is not dangerous to defend, it is indeed more able to withstand the attack of the orc army.

But doing so would mean giving up the northern border completely.

The northern border is almost all plains, with 70% of the kingdom's population distributed, and the land is far more suitable for farming than the southern border, which is full of hills and mountains.

Abandoning the northern border, of course, has no loss for the lord of the southern border, but for the entire Silver Moon Kingdom, this is almost a catastrophe!

The Silver Moon Kingdom, which lost most of its population and arable land, could only huddle in the southern border and wait for death.

"Hmph!" Simon pushed the door open, staring coldly at the proposed lord.

Seeing Simon, who had just defeated the Rosen family and became the speaker of the southern lord, glaring at him fiercely, the lord immediately closed his mouth with a smirk.

"Ah, it's Simon." Seeing Simon's arrival, the dejected Grand Duke Gaseppe's eyes lit up immediately.

Is it an adventure to go to the north to support? Or stick to the Valdai hills and keep the southern border?

These two choices have been entangled in his mind since he received the spell letter from the royal family, and now this resourceful great-grandson may make him make up his mind.

"Once the northern border is lost, even if the southern border is defended, it is just waiting for death. The Silver Moon Kingdom will no longer have the possibility of a comeback, so we must go to reinforce the capital!" Simon said with a gloomy expression.

"However, it is only a matter of time before Buluo Fortress falls, and the Second Army will definitely be wiped out."

"At that time, the third army under the Grand Duke will be the only remaining main battle army in the kingdom. If we are annihilated or severely injured by the orcs during the battle in the northern border, then we will also lose the chance to come back." Some lords wrinkled He retorted with a frown.

After a big defeat outside the Great Wall, the First Army is probably over. The Second Army stationed at the Buluo Fortress is now surrounded by the orc army. It will only be a matter of time before the end.

If the third legion is finished, then the Silvermoon Kingdom will no longer have a main battle legion. With some militiamen and the private army of their lords, they are not even qualified to confront the orcs head-on.

"We must go to support the northern border. I'm not discussing with you. Kneel down!" Simon clenched his right fist and stretched out in front of these lords, revealing the king's seal.

"This..." The lords were still wondering, but Grand Duke Gaseppe's eyelids were jumping~www.novelbuddy.com~ Why is the king's seal ring still in this kid's hand? Did the royal family forget to take it back?

Although he was puzzled, he still knelt down on one knee slowly, because this was a respect for the kingship.

Seeing Grand Duke Gaseppe kneel down, the other lords slowly came back to their senses. From their dusty memories, they recalled the shape of this seal ring, so they also knelt down in wonder.

"Your Majesty was worried about this war before, so he specially asked me to act as the king's power in a critical moment. Now, in the name of the king, I am ordering the Third Army to go to the northern border to participate in the war." Simon's face was stern, his face was not red Jumping and making up nonsense.

"Really?" Everyone's first reaction, including Grand Duke Gaseppe, was disbelief.

But the seal ring in Simon's hand is real, and they can't believe it! Unless you bring the king in for a confrontation now.

But the defeat beyond the Great Wall, the life and death of the king is unknown, where can they find it?

"The minister accepts the order!" Grand Duke Gasepe bowed down to Simon respectfully.

He is a direct member of the royal family, the youngest son of the fifteenth king, and the younger brother of the sixteenth king. These lords can ignore the king's seal ring on Simon's hand, but he cannot!

Because, even the Third Legion under his hands belonged to the king. With this seal ring, Simon could completely bypass him and directly mobilize the Third Legion.

"My lords, I won't emphasize it. Whether you follow the Third Legion to support the capital, or defend the southern border, it's up to you!" Simon said lightly.

The corners of the mouths of these lords who were kneeling on the ground suddenly twitched, asshole, there is no third legion, what are they using to defend the southern border, just relying on these mobs under their hands?

It's better to follow the third army and go to the north to gamble!
