The Lion King frowned. These locals were getting a little rude.
Freshly appointed, with war looming, he had to deliver results!
Farming is impossible, the prince doesn't want to take care of this land at all; he only sees it as a gilded stone.
After much deliberation, he decided to incorporate the combat personnel from the Wintermoon Province into his own legion.
Eastward advance to Wucheng, and join forces with the army of Wucheng.
National mobilization will be completed soon, and after declaring war, we can jointly attack Tiansheng Echo Bay!
This will be a great expedition. If it is successful, and we defeat the enemy forces on the Echo Bay front, then the eastern gate of Tian Sheng will be wide open! That would be a tremendous accomplishment!
But the aides he brought from the capital, after some investigation, told him that the current situation in Dongyue Province was very bad. Just suppressing the worsening extradimensional realms required a lot of manpower and resources.
Daily monsters spawned from increasingly corrupting Rifts wreak havoc on the province's security, and even Runemasters risk contamination.
Agriculture production was greatly affected, coming to a standstill for a period of time, and it took a long time to recover.
But he can't wait.
A mobilization order was immediately issued.
The Dongyue Province's guard has been mostly conscripted, and even some security card divisions have been disbanded and merged into the expeditionary force.
During wartime, such actions were perfectly legal. Lords could requisition 80% of the troops within their province for war and impose additional taxes on their land.
But legal doesn't mean reasonable. For a considerable length of time, the Winter Moon Province will lose a large portion of its armed forces, and the deteriorating situation in the province will worsen further.
But the prince did not care about draining the pond to catch the fish.
A farming lord, there are plenty of them, but military merit, this might be his only chance in a lifetime to ascend the throne. He needs to make himself truly worthy of the crown.
If we can conquer Echo Bay together with the Mist City forces, it would be a great achievement.
"My lords, you must have heard the tale of the Azure Wolf," the prince said, his face shifting between shadows and light.
"Of course, he is a hero of the country," the people present said timidly.
"Azure Wolf, national hero! The hero who turned the tide in the Five Domains War, he is still a masterful lord! I am merely acting as his regent! Standing on this land now, I cannot quell my anger. Can I not raise an army for revenge!" The prince's voice rose eight octaves.
Fart
Fan Dachun whispered to himself in the crowd.
He is the head of security for Lingzhong Yicun, and he was also called to the meeting today.
He scoffed at such claims.
Looking around at the expressions of the people, there were quite a few who shared his thoughts.
That damn fat pig, the leader of the Azure Wolves!
Can he die for his country
It's impossible! Absolutely impossible!
Anyone who has seen this greedy and lustful pig would never believe that this person could have the courage to die with the apostles.
I heard he was even made the Prince of Tranquility
Three years ago, people even held a grand Dongyue Festival for his mysterious disappearance.
These people do not understand the power struggles between the central and local governments, but for three years there has been no new lord, only appointed acting officials.
But the body of the proxy official is still hanging in the square.
After the prince arrived, he was put to death on charges of sixty-five crimes.
He deserves to die, but honestly...
Fan Dachun thinks that this proxy official is also better than the Cunning Wolf.
Just this matter, Fan Dagong carefully pondered for a while, and he knew what was going on.
That deceased young hero was someone else, but their identity was simply altered. Someone else took on that name and was parachuted in by the central authority to manage things instead.
But who has the guts to say these things
Don't you want it spicy
This time, the one who came is the only son of the Lion King, the young prince. He is the one destined to ascend the throne in the future!
Fan Dachun was still pondering, the other elderly person hesitated for a long time, gathering their courage and finally said.
"Of course, we should seek revenge! We all want to avenge our lord. However, Your Highness, our situation is rather unique."
"What's so special Is there something special about going to war Isn't what I'm doing legal" The prince's expression was clearly displeased.
But the moment these two characters, "legal," came out
Everyone is truly helpless, it is indeed legal.
"Your Highness, if you were to requisition the provincial militia and seize their supplies, what would become of these people Every night, the creatures infected by the worsening energies run rampant. They kill, they destroy crops, and soon there will be utter chaos!"
The old man shouted.
"You don't have to worry about that. Your Majesty has already signed the wartime decree. The people can organize civilian cardmaster squads themselves to ensure internal security." The prince tapped the armrest of his lordly throne: "I promise you, once I conquer Echo Bay, I will return to the domain immediately. Then, we will no longer have to worry about the threat from Heaven Saint. Soon, support from Mist City will arrive, and then eradicating the corruption will be just around the corner!"
The old man's face changed.
The prince did sign the decree, but
Can farmers and warriors really be compared
Can they really protect themselves
It's impossible.
Support from the Mist City
That's even more impossible!
The situation in Wintermoon has been going on for a long time, and there's never been any support from Mist City.
"Your Highness, you know this is impossible! Those corrupted card creatures are not something we can—" The old man didn't finish his sentence.
"Pull it down!" the prince waved impatiently. "Wartime matters are handled according to wartime procedures. Anyone who objects will be dealt with severely!"
Fan Dachun sighed and glanced out the door.
As night deepened.
He was one of the few officers who remained on duty, not being drafted.
He knows the good times are yet to come.
Changhai Island, Lu Cheng's residence.
Last night's events didn't provoke Lu Cheng to retaliate. He always felt a vague sense of danger lurking within them.
After bidding farewell to Liu Changqing, Lu Cheng returned to his cave to rest.
Last night, I had a very strange dream. I dreamt that the round moon in the sky suddenly fell into the North Sea. Huge waves swallowed Canghai Island.
He woke up, opened his eyes, and outside the cave, sparks flew.
This dream is fake.
Above the boundless North Sea, there is no sun nor moon. The vast ocean relies entirely on spiritual light for illumination. Where did the moon go to fall into the sea
She shook her head and walked out of the cave.
