GOR Chapter 345 "Chen's Decision"
It turned out that after the flood of demonic beasts had retreated, General Rostock had immediately recruited a group of suicide squad to enter Frozen Forest to scout for information. At that time, these 100 elite soldiers had entered Frozen Forest with the determination to die. When General Rostock sent them off, his order was to "Go as far as you can!"
Everyone knew that if one didn't have the strength of a magician or a warrior, then entering Frozen Forest was purely a suicide mission. Frozen Forest was filled with demonic beasts. Regardless of day or night, one had to guard against those bloodthirsty fellows in the dark. Fortunately, this group of suicide squad entered the forest and headed north. Along the way, forget about demonic beasts, they didn't even see a shadow! Those demonic beasts, after retreating into the forest, seemed to have all disappeared or burrowed into the ground to hide overnight!
Along the way, it was so peaceful that these soldiers who thought they were going to die almost thought of this adventure as a vacation!
It was too peaceful! Along the way, only one soldier accidentally sprained his foot. Other than that, they didn't encounter any other danger. Soon, they actually arrived at the Big Circle Lake which was known as the "Adventurer's Terminal"!
Even an idiot would know that the Big Circle Lake couldn't be crossed. But because of General Rostock's order to "go as far as you can" and because of the unusual tranquility of the past few days, these soldiers simply hardened their hearts and went around the Big Circle Lake, continuing north!
Soon, after a few days, they reached the northern end of Frozen Forest!
When they reached the northern end, these soldiers almost thought that they were dreaming!
For thousands of years, countless powerful Knight, warriors, and magicians were unable to reach this place. Countless powerful experts were unable to pass through this "dangerous zone", but these ordinary soldiers easily passed through it!
Moreover … … there were zero casualties!
North of the forest, there was a flat ice field that stretched as far as the eye could see. At this time, the commander of these soldiers made a decision: "Continue north!"
But, for the sake of caution, this commander made a smart order: Half of them stayed where they were and the other half continued north.
In the end, this order saved the lives of fifty soldiers and prevented them from being completely wiped out.
Right under the eyelids of the remaining fifty soldiers, the other fifty soldiers had just stepped onto the ice field. They had not yet walked out of their line of sight … about a few hundred meters away. A huge storm and vortex suddenly appeared in the originally calm sky! The strong gale blew the soldiers on the ice field to the left and right!
At this time, if Du Wei was here, he would definitely tell them: Don't resist, turn back immediately!
Unfortunately, the soldiers who stepped into the ice field made the wrong choice. They took out a low-level magic scroll that was given to them by a mage consultant in the army. It was a small defensive spell.
However, it was precisely this spell that took their lives!
The moment this small Magic Scroll was released, it immediately triggered a soft light that blocked the surrounding wind. But before the soldiers could cheer, in the next moment …
In the next moment, right under the eyelids of the remaining soldiers standing at the edge of the forest, the storm in the sky seemed to have been triggered by this small Magic Scroll and suddenly became ten times more violent!! A huge vortex with countless wind blades that could be seen with the naked eye whizzed down like a meat grinder. That small defensive spell was instantly destroyed! And the fifty soldiers inside, in the time it took to take a breath — all fifty soldiers were cut into pieces by the countless wind blades!!!
Right under everyone's eyelids, that whirlwind whizzed down, followed by a mist of blood. After looking again, all that was left was a ground full of broken corpses!
This scene was really too frightening. The remaining people took a long time to recover. The leading officer was quite knowledgeable and immediately recognized it. "There must be a powerful magic array here."
Since this was the case, they did not dare to send people forward to die and could only retreat.
Who would've thought that after going through the Frozen Forest without encountering any danger along the way, they would suddenly lose half of their men?
Soon, the fifty surviving soldiers fully reported their experience to their commander, General Rostock. Immediately, General Rostock personally wrote an urgent military report and passed it on to the imperial capital. Because of the previous incident with the demonic beasts, the military had already sent people to the north at the fastest speed. In the base camp of the Northern Tempest Legion, a special Magic Array was set up. Using this Magic Array, military reports could be directly transmitted to the imperial capital at the fastest speed. One must say, this is also the result of the military receiving a lot of magic support since the establishment of the Imperial Magic Academy.
"There are no demonic beasts in the Frozen Forest … … To the north is an ice field … … And there's also a natural Magic Array that cannot be passed through … …" After receiving this military report, Prince Son carefully pondered for a moment.
It can be said that it was this military report that hammered the final nail in Prince Son's heart!
This is because when the Pope visited before, the Pope had mentioned about the natural Magic Array in the Northern part of the Frozen Forest.
"This is the last barrier that the great Goddess has bestowed upon us humans … …" These were the original words of the Pope at that time.
And now, from the military report of the Tempest Legion, it is clear that this is also true!
In that case, the Pope did not lie … … Disaster is indeed coming.
Bang!!
Prince Son slammed his fist on the table. Then, with a gloomy face, a flame burst out from the tip of his finger. Very quickly, the urgent military report was burned to ashes.
•
That afternoon, the important ministers and bigwigs of the capital who had been surprised by the sudden meeting between the Pope and the Regent all received a summons from the Imperial Palace at the same time as they finished their afternoon tea. The emissary of the palace brought the order of the Regent and immediately headed to the Imperial Palace to discuss matters.
Prime Minister Robescher, Finance Minister Munes, the soon to be retired police chief Camisillo, and Count Biliaibuer … …
More than a dozen influential figures of the empire arrived at the palace.
What surprised them was that this meeting was not like the previous ones where they would gather in the Regent's study room or a secret meeting room.
The palace servant in charge of greeting the guests led the way and led them to the "Holy Thorn Flower – Splendor" Hall of the palace.
This hall is the largest hall in the entire Imperial Palace and also the place with the longest history. More than 960 years ago, it was in this hall that the founding emperor announced the establishment of the Roland Empire to his elite generals. Two hundred years ago, when the Augustine Dynasty was revived, it was also here that the Emperor's coronation ceremony was held. Decades ago, during the Northwest War and the first expedition to the Southeast, it was also here that Augustine VI publicly announced the "War Order".
It can be said that this is a place of great significance to the Roland Empire … …
"It looks like something big happened."
When all the ministers and big shots were brought to this place, they all had the same thought in their minds.
When they walked into the hall, they saw the golden-armored warriors standing on both sides of the hall, and then they saw the Regent sitting high above. That extremely gloomy expression of his confirmed this conjecture in their hearts.
Sure enough, when all of the core figures of the empire sat down, the Regent Prince Son opened his mouth:
"Today, I invited everyone here to announce my decision." Standing up, the Regent's eyes were cold and heavy as he slowly swept his gaze across the room: "Prime Minister of the Empire, Acting Military Minister, Robescher."
The old Prime Minister immediately took a few steps forward and slightly bowed.
"Issue the Thorned Flower Royal Decree!" Prince Son's voice was low and slow as each word echoed in the hall: "… … Expand the army by 200,000 soldiers. Acting Military Minister Robescher, Acting Military Minister and Commander of the Imperial Security Bureau, Camisiro, will be conferred the title of Baron and the rank of Third General of the Empire. Finance Minister Munoz will be in charge of the financial affairs. All four war zones of the empire will be conscripted for one year … … No, half a year! Within half a year, I want to see a new main battle army of the empire! "
Robescher's body trembled as he looked at the Regent's face. He originally wanted to say something, but in the end, he abruptly shut his mouth. What's going on? Didn't they just make a decision a few days ago about transferring troops from the south? Why did they suddenly decide to expand the army?
My God, this is an entire main battle army!!
The Finance Minister's body trembled as his old face wrinkled into a ball. Suddenly gritting his teeth, he stepped forward and loudly said: "Your Highness, I object!!"
The Regent's gloomy eyes swept over Old Munoz: "Reason?"
"No money." The Finance Minister braced himself to face the Regent's gaze. Today, this old man felt that the Regent's aura was particularly majestic.
"Humph." Prince Son sneered: "Munoz, pass down the order … … From today onwards, the taxes of the eight southern provinces, excluding the two provinces affected by the snow disaster, the four southeastern provinces, the four northern provinces, and the three northwestern provinces … … will all be doubled!!"
