Biquge www.xbiquge.cc, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the Cavaliers Journey!It was dark and the two children had made a slight snoring sound. Miller held his son Bob quietly and looked out the window at the gloomy sky. He knew his wife was not asleep.

After a long time, Miller finally said, "Betty, shall I join the army."

In the night, Betty looked at him, holding her daughter's hand tightly, but then relaxed, and did not answer Miller's words, as if she had actually fallen asleep.

The silence of his wife did not make Miller cut off his thoughts. He knew that his wife did not want to let himself take risks, but as a husband and father of two children, he really did not want his wife and children to be hungry.

The aristocrats in the royal capital issued a notice and went to the city wall to repair work. Two potatoes a day, if they were to join the army, it was the most common cannon fodder, and there were also four potatoes.Many civilians and refugees in the city ran to join the army and build fortifications.

If there is this food, plus relief food, the child can grow up healthily, and the wife can make up the body.

As if he had made up his mind, Miller held out his left hand and held his wife's rough but still warm hand.Betty didn't speak, and Miller's hand was held firmly against her. It was her answer to her husband.

This is the status of the majority of families in Charlotte Odis City. Many responsible Charlotte men have chosen to join the army. They are not saying how much they love their motherland. They are just for giving themselves. Wife and children, earn a bite.

......

The slightly ruined Odyssey King City was lit brightly at this time, because His Majesty the King felt too cold and ordered the whole royal palace to be lit.

In the hall, the white-haired current king, covered in a blanket, huddled on a luxurious throne, with turbid eyes, looked at the arguing nobles under the hall.

Our Majesty the King hasn't washed for a long time, and far away, we can see his greasy hair and smelly skin. Fortunately, the rich Charlotte does not lack money, and all kinds of precious incense are sprayed on The king's body still preserved the honor of His Majesty the King.

Among the nobles who are arguing with the hall, there is another one who is out of place. It is a middle-aged man who stands in front of all nobles and is closest to His Majesty the King. The noble Chinese robe is more complicated and exquisite than the rest.

Although the nobles in the hall were very noisy, the discerning people could see that most of these nobles were leapfrogs, and everyone’s eyes looked at the big man standing in front of them and the hall above them. His Majesty the King wearing the crown of thorns.

Perhaps it was the quarrel of this group of nobles that made our majesty a little irritated. The dry arms covered with stains were only raised, and there was no sound in the hall.Everyone looked at their Majesty the King in awe. Everyone knew that the male lion had not fallen, and even his fangs were still sharp.

More than two months ago, King Charlotte desperately sent the two elite blood-red troops in his hand, but received very little, and got only a princess Forstein, possibly died.'the result of.

A good'possible death', not only did not get any substantial benefits, but instead broke many blood-red soldiers, even one of the leading captains was cut off.

Looking at the old man sitting on the throne, most of the nobles standing here have a feeling of trembling. When did His Majesty become like this? Two months ago, His Majesty was only slightly old, But still did not give up.Now the old man is going to kill and behead his head.

Don't look at how he did not trim the border at this time. Just yesterday, the majesty personally ordered the execution of the execution of the two counts and the four counts. The reason was that these nobles secretly ran into Forstan and wanted to run away from the city.

They are making a lot of noise now, and they are just doing what they want, showing them to His Majesty the King to show that they are still working hard for Charlotte’s recovery and that they will fight Charlotte to the last minute.

The crown of thorns weighed heavily on this old man, and it seemed that the thin old man would be crushed at any time, but the truth is no.

"Philip, you talk about the current situation." The king said hoarsely, and every syllable spit out, as if grinding the iron piece, which was unpleasant.

Everyone silently looked at the extraordinary man in front of them, dressed in Chinese robes-Marquis Philip.It was this one, a month ago, led the southern part of Shirlow, forcibly broke through the surrounding lion legion, and entered the capital of King Shirlow.As the marquis entered, there were a total of 15 magic crystal cannons.

Marquis Philip, who stood in front of the crowd, just cleared his throat and drew the attention of everyone in the hall. Shen Sheng said, "Forest troops outside the city have gathered nearly 100,000. "

As soon as the words fell, everyone in the hall reacted differently, some showing bitterness, some surprised, some faces ashes, some unbelievable.

The old king sighed, "I have to admit that Forstan's war potential is greater than ours." A pessimistic atmosphere came.

Marquis Philip immediately said, "I heard that the Likia Union in the south of Forstan was also preparing to send troops to assist Forstan, but the King of Forstan refused."

Moral support from many, scant support.Forstein refused to accept foreign help, and Charlotte was suspected by the neighboring countries. Everyone thought the country was finished.

"It's useless, let's talk about how the defense of Otis is." The king's voice continued.

As one of the three pillars of Charlotte, Marquis Philip, who is known as the "God of Wealth", took over many positions as Minister of Finance, Minister of the Interior, and Minister of Military Affairs when he arrived in the capital. Once the royal family may still suspect this marquis, not Dare to let him control too much power, but it doesn’t matter now. Marquis Philip can enter the Jingqin King at the last moment, showing the loyal heart of the marquis to Charlotte.

"Recruitment work is still in progress. Today, 15,000 soldiers have been recruited. These soldiers have been dispersed into four city walls. With the original defenders, each city wall has a defense force of nearly 10,000." Philip The Marquis continued.

"The city has enough equipment, so don’t worry for a while. The soldiers’ armor and armor are scarce. Now the blacksmiths in the city have built it for the soldiers day and night." Marquis Philip didn’t say when he would be fully equipped. The weapon and armor needed by more than 10,000 recruits were not asked by the king.

"As for the food..." Marquis Philip remained silent for a short while, gritted his teeth and said, "Only enough for the people in the city for half a month."

Not only did His Majesty listen to it, but his cloudy eyes darkened a lot, and many of the remaining nobles jumped up directly. "How is it possible? Isn't the grain reserve a month ago enough for half a year?" A few straightforward nobles, forbearance Can't stop calling.

"It was a month ago!" Marquis Philip replied. "And the statistics were based on the minimum standard per capita. As for why food is falling so fast, you should ask yourself!" At the end, Marquis Philip almost shouted.

Less than one-tenth of this month's food utilization was distributed to civilians and refugees in the city. The rest were taken away by the nobles, or they were taken away from them.

As for what to do, it is nothing more than recruiting people by means of food. At this time, the most valuable thing in Otis City is not jewelry and famous paintings, but food, and manpower.

At this time, lying on the streets of Otis City, the refugees and civilians who could not live on the ground were hidden wealth.I don’t know how many nobles, and with their attention, after the Forstan army broke the city, they used the life of these bottom dregs to exchange their precious lives.

Faced with the challenge of Marquis Philip, every nobleman who was glaring at him couldn't help but counsel twice, his eyes dodge.

"Don't be noisy anymore, every nobleman will be according to his title, and give me the corresponding grain before tomorrow, I want to see that the army's granary is full!" The king said decisively, although his voice was weak and vicissitudes, But the undoubted tone made every noble dare not disobey his will.

After His Majesty the King finished, Marquis Philip went on to introduce other facilities and logistics in the city.

Until the end, Marquis Philip did not mention the magic crystal cannon he had brought back, and His Majesty the King did not ask.This strategic weapon can hide the best, and no one can guarantee that among the nobles here, have they privately turned to Forstein?

At the end of the meeting, the attendants around the king announced their adjournment.The nobles walked out of the hall in twos and threes, leaving Marquis Philip alone without moving.

Gradually, only the king and Marquis Philip, as well as some attendants and court ladies, remained in the hall.

"How many magic crystal shells?" His Majesty asked when the surroundings were quiet.

"126 rounds." Marquis Philip said the exact number. "Now Master Maris is leading his apprentices to do it."

The raw material of the magic crystal shell is the Warcraft crystal core, and only the magic core above the intermediate level can be made into a shell. Charlotte’s magic power is worthy of the top among the surrounding countries, and only the masters of their country have this. Strength and technology can bring out the disordered elemental power in the magic crystal and gather and release it.

"Got it, let's go." The king nodded and curled up on the throne, and the surrounding attendants filled a blanket for His Majesty again.Since a month ago, King Charlotte has been eating and living in the meeting hall, and this is more than a month, so that this old man who was only slightly old has become a look of thinness.

Marquis Philip slowly withdrew from the hall. The moment the door closed, the light outside shone on the face of His Majesty the King in the middle of the hall, a pale, persistent, wrinkled face.

All the nobles in the royal capital did not know why his majesty had changed his temperament over the past month or even changed to this one.At present, it is estimated that only Marquis Philip knew the reason for this.

For this reason, he can only rotten in his stomach. One of the three pillars of the kingdom, the war dead Marquis Campbell, the head of the Campbell family, the wisdom general who worked with him in the court for more than 20 years, in fact, is The illegitimate child of His Majesty the King.
