MTL - Heroes of Silver Moon-Chapter 673 :parting

The sky was covered with dark clouds, the wind was blowing, and the torrential rain was coming one after another, which made people feel extremely depressed.

The cabinet meeting was held, Irina sat at the main seat, and the ministers saluted her after entering the room. After everyone was seated, the atmosphere of the meeting seemed extremely silent.

"Sorry, I'm late!" Harris, who came in the heavy rain, took off his raincoat, and the rain on his body wet the floor.

Many cabinet ministers frowned, but the current situation was special, and Harris was originally from a humble background, so they did not pursue this disrespectful behavior.

"Commander Harris, thank you for coming here so hard. Can you tell us about the current movement of the orcs north of the Yelin River?" Prime Minister Medel, who presided over the meeting, spoke first.

"No problem!" Harris took out the deployment map of Yelin River, spread it flat on the long conference table, and pointed to the area north of Yelin River: "Since yesterday, the number of orc wolf cavalry north of Yelin River The number has increased sharply, and they continue to tentatively harass the Yelinhe defense line."

Seeing that he had nothing to say, the cabinet ministers looked at each other in blank dismay. Among them, Brom, the military minister, asked bluntly: "That's it? That's how you deduced that the orcs might restart the war?"

The other ministers with tense expressions gradually began to relax at this time, rubbing their chins, looking around, and changing their sitting positions.

Seeing this scene, Prime Minister Medel couldn't help sighing to himself, how could there be a group of mentally retarded people in the cabinet?

Harris stood there in embarrassment. He didn't expect this group of ministers to have such a reaction. It was unbelievable that Simon hadn't cleaned them yet.

"Ministers, with all due respect, the orcs of the Red Scorpion Khanate are not trying to restart the war, but we have been in a state of war all along, and the two sides are just recuperating in the past few years." Harris reluctantly persuaded, but the long table of the meeting The top cabinet ministers remained unmoved.

"No, we're not at war, I haven't..."

Military Minister Brome was talking, but Grand Duke Gaseppe said at this time: "Okay, Commander Harris, it seems that we need to have a meeting to talk about it. Can you please wait outside first?"

As the highest administrative body in the entire kingdom, even Harris, an important minister who holds military power, cannot participate in cabinet discussions as long as he has not yet joined the cabinet.

"Of course, Your Excellency the Grand Duke." Harris nodded, and then calmly walked out of the room.

He is very aware of his own situation. Although he was forcibly promoted by Simon, this group of young people does not have enough prestige to lead the country.

This is also the reason why Simon didn't stuff them all into the cabinet. If he recklessly broke the political balance, it would only make the nobles in the whole kingdom feel dissatisfied.

"Your Excellency, I don't think this is worth discussing. It's just a kid's guess." Brom frowned and looked at Grand Duke Gaseppe.

"Brom, don't be so full of words. Without a real investigation, who knows if the orcs are planning to launch an attack?" Prime Minister Medel glanced at him.

Blom suddenly fell silent, and suppressed what he was about to say. As the perennial cabinet prime minister, Medel's political capital is far deeper than him.

"Your Highness, what do you think of this matter?" Grand Duke Gaseppe looked at Irina who was in charge again. Now that Simon is not here, only the Queen can make the decision.

Irina, who was teasing her son, suddenly froze, put the plush toy back, and looked at the cabinet ministers squarely: "I think, let's wait for Simon to come back."

As a princess who is destined to marry, she doesn't understand politics and war, and she doesn't want to speak rashly about it, especially when she is increasingly unable to understand the current situation in the Silver Moon Kingdom.

"But Your Royal Highness, Your Majesty..." Before Brome could finish speaking, Simon, who spread his sacred wings, descended into the cabinet in an instant.

Simon took a breath first, then sat next to Irina, and said to Harris outside the room: "Come in, my friend, what's the situation now?"

Facing the sluggish cabinet ministers, Irina shrugged her shoulders and silently moved the chair to the side to ensure that the king also sat on the main seat.

Harris, who was waiting anxiously outside the door, was overjoyed when he heard Simon's voice, hurriedly opened the door and walked in, and reported the situation north of the Yelin River again.

"Very well, I see, Mike, help me draw up the war mobilization announcement, Harris, you immediately go back to the Yelin River defense line to mobilize the new army, Prime Minister Medel, ensure the wartime logistics supply of the new army." Simon proceeded one by one ordered.

"But Your Majesty, we haven't confirmed whether the news is true or not, and if we rashly mobilize for war, I'm afraid it will cause panic among the people!" Bloom frowned and raised an objection.

Simon glanced at him indifferently: "His Majesty the Moonlight Goddess is convinced that the orcs of the Red Scorpion Khanate will attack aggressively in the near future."

Brom pursed his lips tightly, apparently not expecting this to involve the opinion of the goddess of moonlight. But after being overwhelmed by the initial shock, he raised an objection again.

"Even if the war does come, we should convene the lords to discuss countermeasures, collect supplies from all over the country, and ask the allies for help. Many things need to be discussed."

"Brom." Simon took a deep look at him: "I am the king, what are you worried about?"

Brom took a hard breath and looked at Simon calmly: "Yes, Your Majesty, I don't think Silvermoon Kingdom can win this war according to the current situation."

"So you have to learn from an ostrich, and when you encounter danger, bury your head in the sand and ignore it?"

Simon looked at him and a group of cabinet ministers, many of whom dodged their eyes, obviously not optimistic about the direction of this war.

"My God, Goddess, this is our home, our land! Now the orcs want to take them from us, and you don't have the courage to defend them to the death!"

Simon gritted his teeth and looked at everyone: "This is a war, a war to defend our country. I don't care if you are ready or not, and I don't care if this battle can be won, but I am sure that as long as this land With one man alive, the orcs must not occupy this land!"

Well, he pointed to Harris and said, "Go to rectify the army, prepare for war, and dismiss the meeting!"

After speaking, Simon turned around and disappeared without a trace.

Facing these cabinet ministers, Harris shrugged, then went straight out of the room and returned to the Yelin River defense line to rectify the army.

He is the king's confidant, so naturally he has to obey foreign orders in everything.

Immediately afterwards, some cabinet ministers looked at Irina as if asking for help.

And Irina also helplessly spread her hands: "You should have heard His Majesty's order very clearly, hurry up and mobilize for war!"

 …

In a certain mansion on the outskirts of the capital, Siegel, who received an emergency call~www.novelbuddy.com~, was saying goodbye to his wife Olenna.

Since it was determined that he would be stationed at Ye Linhe for a long time, Simon has equipped every senior military officer of each new regiment with a mansion on the outskirts of the royal capital, and asked his family to move here.

However, these senior military officers have always been stationed at the Yelin River defense line, and rarely have the opportunity to reunite with their families.

Olenna is about to give birth, so Siegel took advantage of this report and returned to the capital with Harris.

"Can you not go?" The heavy rain outside the window was still falling, and Olenna hugged Siegel tightly from behind.

The husband finally came back, but he didn't even have a few hours before he was about to return to the army. That king is too convincing!

Siegel shook his wife's hand and said calmly: "I must protect you!"

Women chasing men, layered veils, under Olenna's fierce offensive, even a rough man like Siegel inevitably fell into the land of tenderness.

Especially after Simon became king, the Rosen family easily matched the two.

Hearing Siegel's words, Olenna burst out laughing, showing tenderness and loneliness on her face at the same time, stroking her raised belly, and murmured: "Did you hear that? Your brave father is going to fight for us! From now on you You have to be a brave man too."

Touching his wife's lower abdomen and feeling the heartbeat of the fetus, Siegel also smiled at the corner of his mouth: "Don't worry, this will only be a crushing war."

The newly formed army, whose armament has been upgraded, is so powerful that even he is afraid, and it is impossible to lose this war.

"I don't understand these things, but..." Olenna put her husband's chest on her chest: "Come back alive!"

The smile on Siegel's face gradually disappeared, and he nodded heavily: "I will!"
