King’s Kingdom

Theodosius' words aroused everyone's contemplation.

"Your Majesty's words do have some truth. If we have to wait for all the conscripts to gather, the enemy will definitely be overwhelmed. If we start early, the strength of the two sides will not be so disparate!"

Everyone discussed in a low voice, exchanging ideas, and gradually unifying their opinions during the discussion.

The power of the king is huge, and the importance of the country can almost be decided in one word. Even if some people have other ideas, they have to surrender in the face of the majesty of the king.

Seeing that no one had come forward to express other opinions, Theodosius stood up and said, "That's it, get everything ready, we will set off in three days, and take the enemy by surprise!"

For a while, the entire Lanyin City became busier, and bags of grain were loaded onto mules and carriages and transported to the south continuously.

In the king's warehouse, the armor and spears that had been stored were carried out, and some levies who lacked armor or whose spears were damaged and poorly equipped were all replenished.

This time, Theodosius was very ruthless. He distributed all the more than 1,000 pieces of chain armor and more than 800 pieces of leather armor in the warehouse, and distributed the longbow that had been in storage for a long time to a thousand archers.

In order to win this war, he has tried his best, and if he can't win, there is nothing he can do.

"If anyone dares to control his greedy hands at this time, then I will help him get rid of this bad habit!" These are the words of Theodosius, he really didn't want himself to bleed heavily for this war , but let the vile rats take the good away.

However, perhaps Theodosius did not give details of what he would do, and his warnings did not work until he cut off the hands of fifteen clerks, stripped the skin and filled the grass, and filled the grass with human skins and skinless bodies. It was only after falling on the pole that the greed in the hearts of this group of people was curbed.

This behavior also brought some criticism to Theodosius, and some people who were dissatisfied with it began to call him a **** tyrant in private.

Theodosius only smiled lightly when he found out. He didn't care whether the tyrant was a benevolent monarch. The most important thing for him now was to win the war. He was willing to use the reputation of a tyrant to stop corruption.

In the past few days, the most elite troops of the Lanyin Kingdom have upgraded their equipment again. In addition to the full body chain armor and the torso armor, the thirty iron paladins have an additional layer of chain armor to strengthen protection, and helmets. There is also a layer of padding inside as a buffer, and the thirty iron-boned horses are all covered with double-layer chain armor. At this time, the iron-clad paladins have become real humanoid tanks.

In addition, the 200 "God's Dependent Soldiers" who were incorporated into the Kingdom's system by Theodosius also increased their armor and became heavy infantry. Fifty of them were armed with two-handed swords instead of spears. , used as skirmishers.

"When this war is over, I will support you immediately, please stick with it for a while!"

In the main hall of the main castle of Rine City, the six elves were received once again, and Theodosius, after giving a half-truth introduction to the situation he was facing, said: "It only takes one or two months. You will be supported in time, please overcome it!"

Naturally, the elves were furious when they received such a reply, but the initiative at this time was in Theodosius' hands, and they had to choose to accept it no matter how angry they were.

"Okay, esteemed King Lanyin, please don't let our perseverance go to waste!" Jotapolis sighed and said helplessly.

"Don't worry, the war will definitely end within two months!" Theodosius' eyes wandered, not daring to look into Canatis's eyes.

Riding on the tall forest deer, the elves left Lanyin City with news that was not good but not too bad, and walked north of the Hengduan Mountains.

In the past few days, Theodosius finally understood why those wise kings always had short lives. The life of such a hands-on life was really too hard.

In order to prevent accidents in the war, Theodosius ordered his men to send a copy of all resource mobilization, army assembly, and equipment preservation for him to check in person, and even conduct random inspections, so he was almost busy for two days. Do not touch the ground and want to die.

"This king is really unworthy. How did the previous kings fare?" Theodosius lamented while lying on the bed.

"Wait!" Theodosius reacted sluggishly at this time: "Where is my former king? Where is my father?"

"Gan..." Theodosius felt that there was obviously another Tiankeng that he didn't know about, but he couldn't ask these things casually now. It would be ridiculous to forget his father, not to mention the most important thing at the moment. The thing is to thwart the offensive of the Northern Empire.

June 28, 866 in the Hirkati calendar.

Eleven thousand soldiers gathered on the plain outside the city of Lanine. Thanks to the military district system and the roster of conscripts, the war potential of the entire Lanine Kingdom has been mobilized by two-thirds in just a few days. .

A large amount of supplies had already left yesterday, and thousands of mules and horses worked tirelessly to serve their masters.

On the plain, the flags were fluttering, and there were many swords and guns. It seemed to sense the chill of today. The **** of the storm seemed to be cheering for this army. The people who were unable to open their eyes were wearing sophisticated equipment, and the 4,000 standing troops at the forefront had already aroused a high fighting spirit.

Their eyes focused on Theodosius, who was wearing gorgeous heavy armor and riding a tall iron horse under his crotch. A king's flag was held high by the flag-holder, and it rang with the hurricane.

The brown bear flag on a blue background represents the Ante military region, the red lion flag on a blue background represents the Rydermen military region, the peregrine falcon flag on a red background represents the Kelsey military region, the griffin flag on a red background represents the Delce military region, and the highest and largest red dragon on a blue background The flag represents the Central Military District, and the flag with a crown on top of the red dragon flag on a blue background represents the iron-clad paladins formed by Theodosius.

"Warriors!" Theodosius' voice seemed to have a loudspeaker, and it fell into everyone's ears.

"The Northern Empire started this conflict for no reason! The unrighteous soldiers invaded my territory! Burning, killing and looting are all evils! For the dignity of the kingdom! For the hatred of our compatriots! For the glory of all of us! We will give the enemy a head-on attack. Make them pay for their crimes!"

"Long live His Majesty!" Theodosius' words seemed to ignite a spark in a pile of dry powder kegs, and an earth-shattering roar and roar suddenly erupted.

The soldiers of the Rhine Kingdom who believe in the **** of war and pursue glory are not afraid of this war. They want to recover the blood debt of their compatriots on the battlefield, win their own glory, and wash away the shame with the blood of the enemy!

"Now I announce! Let's go!" Theodosius raised the whip in his hand, and the huge army of 11,000 people organized into a marching formation, relying on the mules and horses either brought by himself or provided by the kingdom, and carried out a rapid march. .

Theodosius was about to make a quick dash to defeat the enemy before they could react!
