Chapter 297: Once in a Lifetime

'Boom'

A loud bang fell, accompanied by the breaking of the gates of the border fortress.

The Imperial army stepped into Midland's territory with Crota, clad in red and white armor.

50,000 people swept through, leaving behind the corpses of thousands of Kingdom soldiers guarding the border, and the war between the two major countries on the mainland officially began.

Two days later, when news of the invasion of the Imperial Army reached the palace, the old king was furious and summoned all the ministers who were eligible to participate in the council to discuss countermeasures.

"The thousand-year-old empire has officially declared war on us, and has stepped into the province of Inu, nearly half of the province has fallen into its hands, it is reported that the commander of the imperial army this time is two imperial envoys, which of you has a strategy to retreat from the enemy, although it is said, I will not hesitate to reward!"

When they first heard the news, everyone was shocked, and then they gasped, and then looked at the old king's iron blue face, but the ministers who realized the seriousness of the matter did not dare to speak up easily, let them fight the northern alien peoples or those natives of the southern islands, is it okay, the imperial army? Are you kidding! And the emperor's envoy? How could it be beaten!

Although there is a saying that kingdoms are comparable to empires, everyone knows that it was before, not now.

They dared to guarantee that whoever opened this mouth would inevitably throw him to the front.

Suddenly, when Nazareth came out of the ranks, everyone stared at him in surprise, and they heard him say respectfully, "Your Majesty, Marquis Bruce is my new military god in Mittland, but isn't it the best choice to retreat from the enemy?" ”

Wayne, who was originally there, narrowed his eyes and looked at Nazarez with a chill.

At this moment, all the ministers were stunned, and immediately began to echo Nazares's words, anyway, they couldn't get used to Wayne, an upstart, and let him go to the front, if he died, it would be best.

Listening to the ministers recommending Wayne one after another, the old king's face became more and more ugly, Wayne was what he used to deal with Hoss and Nazarez, he would not allow any mistakes in this knife, just when he was about to scold, Wayne's words made him swallow the words of reprimand.

"I am willing to share your Majesty's worries and sweep away the invaders of the Empire!"

Nazarez and Hoss looked at Wayne in surprise, in their thoughts, Wayne should do everything possible to prevaricate, but who would have thought that he would actually agree, is there really such a fierce person in the world? I'm afraid he's a fool!

Nazareth and Hoth glanced at each other, and the corners of each other's mouths showed a hint of banter, how much they still valued this nouveau riche, they didn't expect to take the initiative to jump into the grave, but it saved them a lot of trouble.

The old king looked at Wayne, who was full of confidence, and asked hesitantly, "Are you really sure to retreat from the enemy?" ”

"May there be a military order!"

Seeing that Wayne was not joking, the old king sighed in his heart, but it was a pity for this knife.

"In this case, I will make Qing a general, the general of military affairs, fight against the incoming enemy, and the kingdom army is at your disposal!"

Such a reward seems to be heavy, but in fact, he has already treated Wayne as a dead man in his heart, didn't he see Nazareth smiling? You must know that the military department is under his jurisdiction, and the position of this general is equivalent to depriving him of his power, but he didn't say anything, it is obvious that in his opinion, even if he gives Wayne 100,000 men, he will not be able to defeat the imperial army with two imperial envoys.

Wayne, who knew this, secretly sneered in his heart, this is an opportunity, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, as long as he wins this victory with the title of Ling General, he will inevitably respond to it at that time, and the followers will gather.

Originally, he was still thinking of plotting to usurp the country, but now the invasion of the imperial army has given him a perfect opportunity.

Wayne answered on one knee and glanced at the gloating ministers and the sorry old king, but they didn't know that they had dug a grave for themselves.

The game in the palace is too far away for many people, they only know that Wayne was made a general and became the supreme commander of the soldiers of the kingdom, and he was above ten thousand people under one person.

And the soldiers' ideas are simpler, whoever can give them benefits, they will follow.

Therefore, when he did not go to the front, Wayne ordered the military salary to be increased by a full thirty percent to win the hearts of the army.

Chancellor of the Exchequer Hoss, who was cheated, didn't say anything, and let Wayne do it, anyway, in his opinion, Wayne is already a dead man, just a dead man, can he threaten himself?

After using his position as a general to win the hearts and minds of the people, Wayne selected 50,000 of the kingdom's elite to go to the front, including even Prince Yuris's White Dragon Knights, who readily surrendered the command.

This is undoubtedly another person who is ready to watch jokes, the old emperor is a dead confidant, and he is the happiest.

After all this was done, Wayne and the next day, the old king saw him off and left for the Inu front.

The old king returned to the palace with a long sigh, and did not sit down for long, and his breath became short, but he was sick again.

Seeing this, the attendant hurriedly brought a bowl of tea with the medicine he carried with him for the old king to drink, and watched the old king drink the tea, and a trace of discoloration flashed in his eyes.

The old king didn't notice anything, but he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when his illness was alleviated, and then sighed again, "It's a pity, I'm afraid that Yuris is now connected with Nazares..."

The old king guessed correctly, and Nazareth invited Yuris, who had come from the night walk, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Hoss, the three most powerful men under the old king, were planning to overthrow Mittland.

The Inu, the Imperial Expeditionary Force has encountered some trouble, they have attacked and plundered in Inu, and have attracted a mysterious resistance force, although they are small in number, but they are extremely tenacious, and their leaders are well versed in the art of war, and they can often cause problems for the Imperial Army, and at the same time, they also hold Krota in their tracks.
