"I think we should retreat to the island for the time being, they are coming too fast!

"Yes, Your Majesty! Your Majesty the King is still too young to govern in person, and if it falls into their hands, we will have no hope! So I think we should wait until His Majesty the King grows up, and then we will have a strong army to regain the throne!" Another minister also said, his opinion sounded so tempting, but if you think about it carefully, even the throne has been lost, where to find strong soldiers, this is the reason why these ministers are greedy for life and afraid of death.

But this did not escape the Queen's eyes, and she was furious, "Hmph, you cowards, when you are not needed, you come to praise you, and now you will run away at the slightest matter! What use does the royal family want from you! Hang me!" the queen ordered.

"Oh! no! it's not like that, Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" cried out the ministers, but the queen remained indifferent, when several of the guards heard the order and went up into the hall and dragged the minister down.

The queen locked her eyes on the palace minister, who had not spoken, and asked, "My palace minister, why have you not spoken!"

"Tell your majesty, in fact," Gong Xiang said hesitantly.

"Is there something wrong with the palace minister?" asked the queen when she saw the appearance of the palace minister.

"Hey, that's the case, I have a way, but I just don't know if you can agree," Gong Xiang said a little hesitantly.

"Yes! The palace minister said, as long as I can keep the royal family's foundation, I will consider any kind of idea!" The queen said with some anticipation: "The palace minister will tell me the method first."

"Alright then! There are two ways to do it!" said Gong Xiangzheng, "one of them." It will allow the royal family to save their lives without having to be killed or injured!"

"What way?" asked the queen excitedly.

"That is to use the dinars, buy the lowly serfs with money, let them stop the offensive and make peace with the royal family, so that the royal family can continue to rule the rest of the land in peace," said the palace minister in a serious manner.

"No! The royal family must not compromise with those lowly serfs! Even if they agree! Then what face does the royal family have to continue to rule Rhodok! This will not work!" the queen resolutely refused.

"Let's talk about the second!" said the queen, holding on to the last glimmer of hope.

And after hearing that the queen refused to mention yì, the palace minister showed a look of embarrassment on his face. But the corners of his mouth secretly raised an unnoticed smirk, "Since this is the case, then there is only one last way!"

Gong Xiang pondered for a while and said, "That is, resist them first, and then look for foreign aid!"

"Tell me what to do!" asked the queen, puzzled.

The palace minister nodded to the queen, and then said: "First of all, stabilize them! Since the royal family does not have enough soldiers, then go and recruit a large number of soldiers!"

"But where to recruit soldiers? The royal family is now in decay, and it is impossible to recruit those knights to fight in the war as before. No one would want to help a side that is sure to lose!" said the queen in disappointment.

"No, although the knights who fight only for honor will not go to war, we can recruit the citizens and peasants of Aaron. Even "Gong Xiang paused for a moment.

"Or even what?" asked the queen impatiently.

"Recruit the robbers of the mountains and the pirates everywhere!" said the princess, taking a dinar from his pocket, and saying to the queen, "we have what the serfs do not have, and what the burghers and robbers need!

"We can hire the burghers and robbers for the highest salary! and remove the recruitment rules, as long as you come, you will take them!" said the palace minister proudly.

"I have heard that the salary prescribed by Van Ming is three dinars per soldier. Then we're five of us! And there is no standard, the recruits will squeeze through the city of Aaron!" Gong Xiang said proudly.

"But even my knights have been defeated at the hands of Fan Ming, so how can the citizens and robbers who have not seen blood resist!" questioned the queen.

"No, Queen, we want a lot of people, and we don't need to be strong, just hold him back until reinforcements arrive! As for whether those soldiers are dead or alive, it depends on their luck!" said Gong Xiang coldly.

Heard that the royal family would be saved with the lives of civilians. I couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, but after a moment the look of shame disappeared, "Well, where did we get reinforcements?" asked the queen.

"Other kingdoms, of course!" replied the minister.

"But we've just finished fighting Swadia. They won't help us, and the Nords and Virgians are too far away from us!

"No, the Queen, we don't rely on them! We are looking for foreign aid, a powerful country that has an eye on the land of Cartier!" said the palace minister.

"You mean the heretics of the desert, but if we do, we will be excommunicated by the Pope!" said the queen in shock.

"No, as long as we say that they have taken advantage of our civil war to plunder our land! As long as they kill Fan Ming, we will give them Amera, whom they have been watching for a long time!

"That's all there is to it, go and do it!" said the queen helplessly, and at this time he had no other way.

"It's Your Majesty!" Gong Xiang was already smiling in his heart! This was exactly what he wanted.

When he came out of the palace, he met the captain of the town guard who was already waiting outside the palace, and when he saw the palace minister coming out, he immediately leaned up and said, "My lord! Half of the soldiers have already promised us to stand by us! The other soldiers will not help us, but they will not help the royal family!

"No! we can't do it now! We can't underestimate those mud-legged people anymore!" said the palace minister fiercely: "The queen has promised me to ask the people of Salander for help! And then hum"

"But you can guarantee that they will help us and give up the royal family, or take advantage of the opportunity to occupy Aaron!

"No! They know that now is not the time to occupy Rhodok! If they encroach on Rhodok's land, it will inevitably lead to a mass attack from the countries that believe in the Holy Lord! And there are fierce Kujit people to the north! They will not be so stupid as to throw away a watermelon and grab a sesame seed!"

"And as for whether they will help us! Haha, as long as I promise that they will pay more than the price offered by Wang Shi, then they will still help Wang! As long as they drive away Fan Ming. We will announce that it is the royal family who has come to Salan, so that the fanatical saints will point their swords at the royal family, and we will take the opportunity to drive out the royal family, and according to the Holy Bishop's law, no matter who kills the person who has been excommunicated by the pope, then we will inherit his property and position!

On the other side, the 10,000-strong army led by Fan Ming was marching towards Aaron. As a result of the first victory, the morale of the legionnaires was extremely high, and the passing road was carried out shouting slogans as they marched, attracting countless onlookers from peasants, hunters, and girls from nearby villages.

Some soldiers saw pretty girls. also deliberately puffed up his chest and tidied up the white linen shirt to attract the attention of the girl.

"Haha, look at these boys!

"Oh, are you very old? It seems that you are about the same age as them! How can you envy their attraction to recruit ladies! Then you can dismount and go on foot with them! Haha," Fan Ming laughed.

Bandas gave Fan Ming a blank look. And not answering.

In this ranks. The most striking thing is that Fan Ming's Guards, which has now been expanded from the original 30 guards to 500 guards, all of whom are elites selected from the legion, and before they are selected for the Guards, they must first go through arduous riding and archery training, then training in horse combat, and finally combat on foot. Only after these levels can you be selected for the Guard.

They rode horses with light chain mail, which were selected from the Viruga Plains, where horses were kept. The best were the Guards, followed by the cavalry, and finally the rest of the pack horses.

The soldiers of the Guards also wore a patchwork plate armor made by Ali using cold forging technology, which was as light as chain mail, but stronger than the traditional whole plate armor, and was called the Imperial Plate Armor!

Because Fan Ming envisioned the Guards as an army capable of both riding and shooting at the Mongol cavalry and slashing like the Mamluks. So they were equipped with small hand crossbows, which of course were the masterpieces of Fan Ming, which could shoot with one hand while galloping on a horse, and were as fast as bows and arrows, and were extremely lethal and could pierce through iron armor. And it is also equipped with an imitation Damascus scimitar brought by Ali, although it is an imitation, in fact, it is not as gorgeous as the genuine, but it is durable and sharp because it is cold forged, so it is only excessive.

And it is equipped with a lightweight cavalry gun, which is convenient for short-distance charges.

On the other side, the 10,000-strong army led by Fan Ming was marching mightily towards Aaron, and because of the victory in the first battle, the morale of the legionnaires was extremely high!

When some soldiers saw the beautiful girl, they deliberately puffed up their chests and arranged their white linen shirts to attract the girl's attention.

"Haha, look at these boys!

"Oh, are you very old? It seems that you are about the same age as them! How can you envy their attraction to recruit ladies! Then you can dismount and go on foot with them! Haha," Fan Ming laughed.

Bandas gave Fan Ming a blank look, but did not answer.

In this team, the most eye-catching is the Fan Ming Guards, which has now been expanded from the original 30 guards to 500 guards, all of whom are elites selected from the legions.

They rode horses with light chain mail, which were selected from the Wiluga Plains, which were good at raising horses, the best of which belonged to the Guards, followed by the cavalry, and finally the other army pack horses.

The soldiers of the Guards also wore a patchwork plate armor made by Ali using cold forging technology, which was as light as chain mail, but stronger than the traditional whole plate armor, and was called the Imperial Plate Armor!
