Chapter 779 The King's Order
Roland knocked on the table, and the hall fell silent instantly.
"When the month of demons is over, next year will be the most important year for Graycastle," he stood up from the chief seat, and walked behind everyone step by step, "I will unify the whole territory and hold a grand enthronement ceremony to become the justifiable Graycastle." The king of the castle. And you will also be my first batch of important ministers to assist me in governing this country together."
If it were placed two years ago... this "big ambition" would only be regarded by everyone as the arrogant words of the fourth prince.
If it was a year ago, it would be a distant goal that you can try to work hard for.
But today, no one would doubt Roland's words.
Everyone stood up one after another, touched their chests with their right hands, and bowed their heads to greet him, "It's my honor, Your Majesty!" Their complaints and guards disappeared in an instant, and there was a hint of excitement on their faces—the more The longer you stay in the city hall, the more you understand the power of Neverwinter.
Undoubtedly, as long as he makes this decision, bringing the entire territory of Graycastle into rule will become an undisputed matter.
And they can also follow His Majesty and become the most powerful group of people in the kingdom.
Roland pressed his palms and motioned for everyone to sit down, "More than that, the scope of Graycastle's rule will become wider than ever, from the wild land in the west, the fjord islands in the east, the Endless Cape in the south, and Herme in the north. The Sri Lanka Plateau will act according to my will!"
"To achieve this, the First Army will undoubtedly be the busiest department next year, and there will only be a small number of guards left in Neverwinter. Therefore, exploring the Snow Mountain is a necessary measure to eliminate hidden dangers. I don't want the backyard to catch fire. The capital of the kingdom is attacked by an enemy of unknown origin!"
"Your Majesty, maybe we can enter the Snow Mountain with the help of the First Army and the Witch Union alone..." Carter suggested in a low voice.
"In a cave with no light and extremely complex terrain, the role of guns and artillery is very limited," Roland interrupted him, "there is neither a preset blocking location nor a map for reference. In the case of hybrids, how much casualties do you think the First Army needs to suffer in order to repel those monsters?"
The chief knight was silent for a while.
"This is the reason why we must cooperate in the exploration—Taquila's God's Punishment Witch and the Witch Alliance can just complement each other. After the first army is in charge, a guard post will be established at the main road that has been explored to ensure the smooth path of retreat. That's the safest way." Roland paused, and suddenly raised the volume a bit, "Listen well, don't tell me how difficult it is to implement this plan, you are here to solve the difficulties! If it can't be done, City Hall doesn't need anyone who can't do what I want!"
When he said this, he looked at the head of the city hall, "Barov Mons!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The latter trembled all over.
"Are there any problems with the final accounts and logistics?"
"I think...not anymore," the boss wiped the sweat from his face, "I will come up with a plan in five days."
"Three days." Roland said without doubt, and then he turned his attention to the Minister of Agriculture, "Sanny Dali!"
"exist!"
"There is not enough food in stock, so we will get it from Changge District. There are more cement ships. Do you understand?"
"Of, obey, Your Majesty!"
"Carl Vanbert!"
"Your Majesty, I will carefully check the stability of the mining area and the kiln group to ensure that there will be no collapse accidents." The Minister of Construction said hastily.
"Very good..." Roland smiled, "Then next."
...
This time, all the problems were easily solved. When the minister realized that he had made up his mind, the planning tasks were quickly assigned, and no one dared to procrastinate.
After finalizing the specific responsible person, the next step is to determine the starting team.
As Pasha's voice sounded directly in their minds, everyone panicked again. Fortunately, the scene of Roland calmly talking with the tentacle monster gave the ministers a sliver of comfort, and they finally didn't make the embarrassment of jumping out of the window and fleeing. Act of.
He probably felt that His Majesty had promised anyway, so he closed his eyes and listened. The ministers of various departments lowered their heads one after another, pretending to be contemplative, but in fact they were avoiding eye contact with the tentacle monster, as if the voice was not Ordinary conversation, but the language of hell that can steal people's minds.
Roland was rather dumbfounded about this situation.
Edith, who was the only one looking straight at the light curtain, became the most eye-catching one in the crowd.
Sometimes, she even tried to learn how to talk to Taquila high-ranking witches like Roland did.
Barov also raised his head several times, as if he didn't want his opponent to steal the limelight, but he still couldn't speak a word.
Fortunately, Roland has already made plans in this regard, and does not need too much participation from the city hall.
In the end, Taquila agreed to send fifty God's Punishment Witches to fight side by side with the main fighters of the Witch Union. The first army was commanded by Brian, and 500 people were assigned to participate in this operation.
The rest of the troops stationed in Neverwinter were handed over to Carter to take over temporarily, and continued to guard against the sporadic evil beasts that harassed the border.
After reaching an agreement on the exploration plan, Roland was about to end the bilateral talks when Edith suddenly raised her hand.
"Your Majesty, I have applied to join the Snow Mountain Expedition Team and go to the Great Snow Mountain in the Western Territory with the First Army."
Barov twitched his lips, "You are neither a witch nor an army soldier, so don't cause trouble for Your Majesty."
"I once served as a swordsmanship instructor in a knight camp. It is difficult for ordinary people to last five rounds in my hands, and evil beasts are no exception. I am fully capable of protecting myself." She said unmoved.
Roland asked curiously, "What's the reason for the application?"
"The battle of divine will is getting closer and closer to us, but few of the ministers sitting here can tell what the devil looks like, and what the underground aliens look like. They don't even know the opponent, so how can they help you manage it?" Good city hall? Some people think that it is a matter of the First Army, and the department they are in charge of has nothing to do with the battle of divine will, but the fact is that when the war comes together, both the Ministry of Construction and the Ministry of Agriculture will be involved. Serve the war—so only by knowing the characteristics of the enemy and who you are fighting with can you better share the affairs for you." Edith said eloquently.
"You..." The boss wanted to refute, but he didn't know where to start.
Roland couldn't help raising the corners of his mouth. This is an interesting statement. Although it is a bit unreasonable, it suddenly made a thought in his head - if she can make her practice into a default rule, that is, if she wants to It might be a good idea to go one step further on the road to power and have to be transferred to the front line or a battle-ready city to gain qualifications for promotion. In this way, at least it can be guaranteed that the officials of the city hall will not underestimate the battle of fate, nor will they issue some outrageous and unrealistic decrees indiscriminately.
In addition, Edith does have the ability to fight, so there is no harm in letting her follow the First Army.
Thinking of this, he nodded to Beidi Pearl.
"Then, get ready to go."
"Yes, Your Majesty." She stroked the ends of her hair hanging by her ears, and saluted with a smile.
