MTL - Heroes of Silver Moon-Chapter 647 : Accumulating small victories into big victories

On the second day after Simon came back, the queen held a meeting of kings to elect a new king.

On the morning of the third day, Simon and Irina held their wedding and coronation ceremony, and in the afternoon, King Jona's funeral.

Everyone knew that time was running out, and the Silver Moon Kingdom had to run at high speed as soon as possible.

Seeing King Jona's coffin slowly fall into the stone coffin, and the heavy coffin lid closed, Simon couldn't help holding Irina in his arms.

Fate is unpredictable. When he first came to the capital, he had contact with this old man, but the intersection between the two parties was not deep.

Who would have thought that in less than ten years, he would become the other party's son-in-law. Who would have thought that such a gentle and good old man would die at the hands of the orcs right after he ascended the throne.

"Your Majesty, did you write this epitaph yourself, or did a veteran do it for you?" Prime Minister Medel asked.

These familiar words made Simon feel a little dazed for a while, as if he had returned to the time when the old king died. When he came back to his senses, he sighed, "Let me do it!"

Looking at the dark tomb, Simon mulled for a while and said, "He is a good man, he is upright and friendly, but because of his mistakes, 250,000 mothers lost their children, and 250,000 women lost their husbands." , let 250,000 children lose their fathers, he is not a good king!"

Hearing the last comment, the nobles outside the tomb looked at each other in blank dismay.

In the past, even if the emperor was fatuous, he would criticize as tactfully as possible on the epitaph. Such straightforward comments are rare.

But now that King Jonah is dead, and the new king is Simon, they will naturally wink.

In fact, many nobles did feel that Jona, the king, was incompetent.

 …

The night gradually shrouded, and the king's bedroom was re-decorated, and Irina, who had finished her bath, was wearing a clean white silk nightgown, hugging the pillow in a daze.

On the day the new king was elected, the mother moved out, and everything in the bedroom was replaced with brand new ones.

Starting today, this bedroom belongs to her and Simon.

Seeing Simon still sitting at the desk thinking deeply, Irina's cheeks puffed up suddenly, this guy, what was he thinking on the wedding night?

After lying on the bed and waiting for a long time, Simon still didn't move.

Irina got up bitterly, came behind Simon, and hugged him gently from behind: "My lord, it's time for you to rest..."

"Ah?" Simon snapped back to his senses, then looked at Irina, smiled wryly and said, "Sorry, I was thinking about something!"

Erina sat on Simon's lap and teased, "This is our wedding night, Your Majesty, do you think I'm not attractive enough?"

The fragrance from the Queen's body made every pore of Simon relax. He greedily took a sip of the fragrance, and the flame in his heart began to agitate.

But immediately, the terrible situation of Silvermoon Kingdom flooded into his mind, and like a basin of cold water, all those flames were extinguished.

Sensing Simon's emotional changes, Irina leaned on his chest pitifully, and murmured: "I'm sorry for letting you bear so much pressure alone. I'm your wife. If you have any troubles, you can tell me."

Simon was silent for a moment, stroked the queen's hair, and said with a deep expression: "I have been thinking about how to reverse the disadvantages of the Silver Moon Kingdom, and finally came to a conclusion."

"What conclusion?" Irina was startled, and looked at Simon.

Now everyone can see that the situation in Silvermoon Kingdom is very bad, the right time, place and people, they have lost at least two things.

It is almost impossible to reverse the situation in a short period of time.

"Since it's impossible to save the situation, then simply break your arms and survive. There is no danger to the north of the Ye Lin River, so I don't want those lands!"

"Relocate the people to other places, leaving only a no-man's land for the orcs. The army guards the south bank of the Yelin River, and the orcs' wolf cavalry can't make waves!" Simon said with a sullen face.

"You're crazy!" Irina stared wide-eyed, and said in astonishment, "That's two-thirds of the land in Upper Crescent County, the throat of Silvermoon Kingdom leading to the inland, if we lose that land, we will It will directly cut off the connection with the inland, and there is not enough land in the northern border to accommodate those relocated people."

"Without terrain obstacles, the orc wolf cavalry come and go like the wind. Even if we spend a lot of money to maintain the main road leading to the inland, we are bound to suffer heavy losses and little gain."

"Abandoning this place directly will not only make it impossible for the orcs to attack, but we can also use the sea route to establish contact with other countries."

"As for those people, although there are no extra fields in the north, there is a lot of wasteland in the south, which can be opened up for them to cultivate."

Simon's eyes became brighter as he spoke, and his thoughts were completely connected.

Seeing that he had made up his mind, Irina sighed in her heart, and said: "It's not too late to do these things tomorrow, tonight, let the concubine serve you!"

Giving up two-thirds of Upper Crescent County is easier said than done~www.novelbuddy.com~ Because Upper Crescent County is basically the fiefdom of nobles, once they give up, these nobles will have to turn upside down.

In addition, hundreds of thousands of people have been relocated, and wasteland has to be reclaimed to build new towns. The amount of work is not ordinary. The current royal family simply does not have the financial resources to support it.

The fire in his heart was ignited again, Simon lifted Irina from his lap, put it on the desk, and then kissed her affectionately.

The two separated, and Simon stroked Irina's hair with a wry smile: "Sorry, the war has already begun, whether it is an external war or an internal war, if you want to reverse the situation, you must accumulate small victories into big victories, and I will fight everyone alone Caught off guard, this night, let me owe it first!"

Irina was speechless for a moment, puffed up her cheeks with displeasure, and then kicked Simon away: "Get lost!"

How much mental preparation has my old lady made, and she has made up her mind to give you her whole body and mind tonight, but on the wedding night, you actually give it to my old lady?

Simon didn't mind either. He just touched her hair and murmured: "Replenish your energy and recharge your batteries. When the matter comes to an end, I will definitely pamper my queen!"

The two kissed affectionately again, and then Simon called his entourage, notified his cronies and ministers, and held a cabinet meeting overnight.

In the empty room, Erina knelt on the bed and hugged the pillow tightly...

The cabinet meeting was held late at night, and Harris's cronies had no problem, but the cabinet ministers who were sleeping were ten thousand reluctant.

However, the attendant who delivered the letter held a sharp sword and looked at each other coldly. Each minister had a special person in charge, and he had to go to this cabinet meeting, and the entire aristocratic district was in trouble.

It was not until midnight that the royal ministers and Simon's cronies gathered in the cabinet chamber.
