In the capital of the Liska Empire, King Kingsley VII was having a headache over the Eagle regiment's rebellion.
A group of ministers and soldiers stood in the middle of the palace. A large table was erected in the middle of the hall, and the king sat at the other end of the table, looking down at the large map on the table.
He was a man in his forties, and his body was on the plump side. He was holding his forehead and leaning against the throne.
"In the south, Luo Saint City, Pinggu City, and Yeya City have all fallen. We have lost contact with General Hongke and he is suspected to have been captured. Earl Oz has surrendered to the enemy. According to the latest reports, the Eagle regiment's army is approaching us … "
General Booth reported the latest battle situation. None of the surrounding ministers dared to make a sound. They all silently lowered their heads, carefully observing the king's movements.
"What about the Union? Has there been any news from the Union? "
Suddenly, the king asked. General Booth slowly put down the scroll in his hand, "There has been no news from the Union. Forgive me for being blunt, but after the death of the War God Anmihu, the Union has been dealing with power issues. I'm afraid they won't send troops to help us in the short term."
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! With our relationship, they can't just ignore it. Even if it's for my sake, I've helped them so much. They should help me, otherwise the whole world won't believe them. "
The King cursed loudly. After he finished cursing, he panted and grabbed the armrest, looking very weak.
"Yes, yes, we are the Union's biggest ally. They definitely won't not help us."
"As long as the Union's army comes, the Eagle regiment will know whether they are chickens or eagles."
Some of the ministers agreed.
General Booth's face was ashen, and he looked upset. He frowned, hugged his arms, and knelt down, "Your Majesty! If the enemy wants to cross the central region, they will have to pass through the Longquan River! If we gather our troops now and attack them while they are crossing the river, we will definitely inflict heavy losses on them. "
Hearing this, the king frowned, "General Booth, why do you think they will cross the river? What if they go around the central region and attack from the west?"
Everyone looked at Booth. His forehead was dripping with sweat. He knew that if he was careless, he might lose his head.
"Your Majesty, the soldiers and rations gathered by the Eagle Regiment are almost all obtained by plundering. Most of them are undisciplined, just like bandits who kill and rob. Although they looked powerful, they were actually very weak internally. They could not withstand the exhaustion and could only rely on continuous plundering and expansion to maintain their stability. If we can hold them back, they will collapse on their own without much effort. "
The king raised an eyebrow and said, "Oh?! Minister Booth, is what you said true? "
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"How many people do you want?"
Booth swallowed his saliva and said slowly, "About a hundred thousand men. With the addition of the Flying Dragon Army, I can guarantee that the enemy will not be able to cross the Longquan River."
"Enough! You're too arrogant! "
Suddenly, the King flew into a rage. He clenched his fists and stared at Booth. He gritted his teeth and said, "General Booth, I am very disappointed in you. I thought you were a useful person, but I didn't expect you to be so stupid. One hundred thousand? Are you a rice bucket? Why do you need so many people to deal with a bunch of bandits? Everyone knows that the Flying Dragon Army is the army that protects King City. Yet, you want them to leave King City. Are you trying to rebel? "
Hearing this, General Booth felt a chill in his heart. He had never thought of this.
"No, Your Majesty, we will never betray you."
"For your father's sake, I will give you a chance. I will give you twenty thousand soldiers. Go and defend Longquan River and prove yourself!"
The King shouted.
Booth opened his mouth, but all he saw were countless cold stares. He knew that no matter what he said now, it would be useless.
"Yes, Your Majesty …"
The King looked down at him and said coldly, "There's nothing for you to do here. Go and prepare."
"Yes …"
With that, General Booth left dejectedly under the gaze of all the ministers.
"Your Majesty, do you really believe that this guy who only knows how to talk on paper can defend against five hundred thousand bandits?"
As soon as Booth left, one of the ministers immediately asked.
The King snorted and said, "Do you think I'm that stupid?"
"No, Your Majesty didn't mean that at all. It's just that … I'm afraid that you will be confused by his nonsense."
"Confused? Hmph! Who can confuse me? He's just a kid who wants to get my attention. If it wasn't for his father's sake, I would have kicked him out long ago! "
Hearing this, the ministers bowed and said nonsense like the King was wise.
"That's all for today. All of you, leave."
With the King's order, all the ministers left the hall.
Just when only the King and his bodyguards were left in the hall, a girl in green suddenly walked out from behind the throne. She turned around and sat on the armrest of the throne. Her golden hair brushed past the King's face. He smiled foolishly and wanted to hug her. In the end, his forehead was pushed by a finger and he fell back.
He still had a smile on his face and said, "Little beauty, you're so naughty. Come, let the King hug you."
The mysterious blonde girl smiled and said, "Not now."
Hearing this, the King frowned and said, "Little beauty, you still don't want to promise me."
He reached out his hands and wanted to hug her small waist, but she was faster and more agile. She lightly dodged and he pounced on empty air.
"I don't know if this place is safe. If one day those bandits attack, I'll be in trouble."
"Absolutely not! I have a hundred thousand elite soldiers here and ten thousand Flying Dragon Army soldiers. They are all elites who can fight one hundred. This is definitely the safest place. If those bandits come here, they'll definitely suffer. Hmph, I just want to teach those disobedient nobles a lesson. If I'm serious, those dogs and hawks will all die! "
The King said righteously.
The blonde girl smiled evilly. She moved quickly and came to the King's side. She touched his chin. The King immediately reached out to grab her, but she was like a gust of wind and he couldn't catch her.
"Hehe, good. When you defeat them, I'll give you a surprise. A surprise that will satisfy you so much that you won't want it anymore."
The girl whispered in his ear.
The King turned around, but she was already in front of him. In the blink of an eye, she walked ten meters away and hid behind a pillar.
"Little beauty, don't run. Give me a surprise now."
He shouted as he chased after her with a smile.
The guard looked at the two expressionlessly. His heart was filled with haze.
That mysterious blonde girl appeared in the city on the day of the Adventurers Guild's chairman Amir's death. He didn't know what method she used, but she made the King so infatuated that he lost interest in politics. She was one of the reasons for this situation.
