Chapter 460 The Furious King Kushra, Internal and External Troubles
Facing those fanatical eyes, Lu Chen put away the regicide in his hand, and the wind picked up when he turned around.
The wind of the dark night fluttered in the wind, leaving a shadow on the soldiers of the Great Wall.
"Let's go back."
Lu Chen's voice was flat, but everyone present could hear it clearly.
This sentence is not only said to the veterans under the city wall in front of him, but also to the soldiers behind him.
"My lord, we want to continue fighting with you!"
I don't know who shouted in the crowd, and set off a new frenzy.
"Yes, Lord Duke, come back, we will follow you!"
Looking at the soldiers who spoke one by one, the Marquis of Jill was furious, and shouted: "Silence!"
At this time, he knew that today's mission was considered yellow, and it would be good if the army did not mutiny, let alone charge and fight.
To his relief, Duke Godzilla did not respond to the shouts of those soldiers, but walked slowly back to the city gate with his back turned to them.
He glanced at Duke Godzilla with fear, then turned his horse's head and ordered, "Go back to the Great Wall!"
Seeing those soldiers still looking ahead, reluctant to part, Jill's face was gloomy, and his voice was stern: "Why, even this military order must be violated!?"
Hearing this, the soldiers got on their horses reluctantly.
Although they admire Duke Godzilla very much, they still remember their responsibilities. Many people also have to eat, and the leader of the Jill Army is also an excellent commander. Just leave the team.
You must know that they dismounted and passed their names to show their respect. Perhaps Captain Jill could tolerate it for the sake of the overall situation, but if someone came out to join Duke Godzilla on the spot, the nature would completely change.
Even if the Reaper's Scythe Legion were to exist in name only, the Marquis of Gil would not hesitate to allow most of the remaining soldiers who obeyed orders to eliminate the traitors in the army.
"Array, return!"
Jill gritted his teeth and ordered. Since he came out of the mountain for more than ten years, he has never encountered such aggrieved thing as today.
The army came vigorously, and left like a strong wind, but in the process of turning back, the army was not as neat as when it came.
"My lord, why don't you just bring your brothers to fight with them?"
Gree scratched his head and said doubtfully, he thought it was a good opportunity just now to instigate a rebellion against his old brother, and kill that little white-faced regiment leader.
Gu Lanting and Lei Ze looked at Gree like idiots, and it was Lei Ze who said, "They are all brothers who guard the homeland of the Great Wall. No matter what the outcome of the fight, it is our own who die."
Gu Lanting looked at the expressionless Lord Duke, and felt admiration. He was still able to hold on under such circumstances, taking the overall situation into consideration, and he really deserved the name of the guardian of human beings.
But what was Lu Chen thinking about?
What he thought was different from that of his subordinates. To him, based on his current feeling, it didn't matter to him whether the abyss was punched or not.
Although Space placed him in the human race of the Aika Continent, since there is no faction to choose tasks, he can do whatever he wants, as long as he can seek benefits, gain more world exploration speed, and finally find a way to help Space seize this native land. Ownership of the world is fine.
Of course, he really didn't want to cause civil strife in the army. If he had mutinied just now, he and a group of soldiers behind him would have no problem defeating the Death Scythe Legion.
After all, more than one-third of them are their own people. In this case, the formation of the army will be completely useless. If it evolves into individual hand-to-hand combat, their side will definitely have the upper hand.
But Lei Ze is right. Anyway, these soldiers are warriors guarding the Great Wall. They are existences that have contributed to the human race. It is too wronged to be buried here because of the politicians' tricks.
And this is not conducive to his reputation. In a sense, if he just started a fight after instigating someone, he really fell into the arms of King Kuras.
A short-term benefit will also reduce his prestige in the army.
Do those soldiers who didn't come out to salute really dislike Duke Godzilla?But not necessarily.
If there is a fight, the matter will spread to the Great Wall, and many soldiers will change their minds.
You can't do things all by your head, this is what Brother Chu often reminds himself, and Huiliyi wants to have space with him, and he is also worried that he is "too reckless"
For the greater good and long-term planning, he must learn to think and plan.
The identity that Space has arranged for him is very good. It can be said that it is one of the most "developmental" identities in the world. He must make good use of it.
Lu Chen glanced at Alice who was pulling beside Lei Ze, and was about to speak.
But Lei Ze seemed to have seen his thoughts first, and quickly said: "Master Duke, the old wolf is willing to continue to follow you, please take me with you!"
When he saw Lu Chen's gaze on Alice, he remembered that he was no longer the bachelor who was alone 20 years ago, and now he was accompanied by his daughter who had no force.
Alice seemed to see her father's entanglement, "Father can go with my uncles, and I can take care of myself."
She didn't want to drag down her father's dream. Every time her father told her the story of the year, he was always in high spirits. Presumably that was his lifelong pursuit as a man.
Lu Chen rarely smiled in front of his comrades-in-arms: "Come together, don't worry, there is no war recently, and I will settle Alice down."
It is obviously inappropriate to separate their father and daughter. There is a famine in the main northern border, and today the old wolf just fought against Linbei City. If Alice, a teenage girl, stays here, she is waiting to die.
The surprise in Lei Ze's eyes could not be concealed, he stood at attention and said, "Yes!"
At this time, the consul in the city had already slipped away, but in fact, Lu Chen was not interested in finding trouble with the other party. It was meaningless to waste time.
"Let's go."
Lu Chen turned around and was about to go to the remaining places in the northern border. The first ring of his main task was coming to an end.
"My lord, don't you want to visit the Great Wall?"
Gree asked.
Lu Chen waved his hand, "I won't go, it's just to shake people's hearts if I go now, next time I go..."
He didn't say anything later, but Gu Lanting and Lei Ze had already understood and were full of confidence in the future.

Snapped--
The exquisite porcelain was smashed into pieces, and everything that could be shattered in the hall could not escape the evil hands.
"Trash! Trash!"
King Kuras was going crazy with anger, pointing at the old eunuch kneeling in front of him, "It's all trash!"
He stepped forward and grabbed the opponent's collar, "I asked him to lead the troops to suppress the Duke, and he was killed if he refused to give in. How did it become a military parade!?"
"Your Majesty, calm down, calm down, and take care of yourself."
The old eunuch looked terrified, looking at the eyes of King Kuras who had chosen someone to devour, for fear that the other party's head would heat up and kill him.
King Kuras overturned the tea brought by the maid with one hand, but felt that he was really thirsty after exercising for a long time in anger. He looked at the shivering maid and said, "Give me another cup, it needs to be cold."
He took a breath, returned to the throne, and looked at his confidant, "Where is Jill, what did he say, I want to talk to him."
The old eunuch hesitated and said: "Your Majesty... the Marquis of Gil said that it will take a while to stabilize the army's morale, and the north of the Great Wall has not been very stable recently."
In fact, Jill's original words were not like this. The original words were "Don't think about dealing with your brother first, and solve the foreign troubles of the empire."
But in the sound transmission magic crystal, the tone and words of Marquis Gil were not very polite. He was afraid that if he told the truth, King Kuras would make a fuss for a while.
King Kuras pondered slightly, "Well, let's put this matter on hold for now, I'll think about it again."
If this matter is not handled well today, not only will it not have the effect of suppressing his brother, but it may even increase the reputation of the other party, so he must be cautious in his actions in the future.
And the other side of the abyss also had to guard against it. He was going to wait and see what happened for a while to see his brother's attitude and actions.
Anyway, the military power is completely in his hands now, no matter how strong the elder brother is, he will not be able to cause any trouble with a few veterans.
"Also, Your Majesty..."
The old eunuch hesitated to speak.
"what's up?"
King Kuras took the new tea served by the maid.
"The Prime Minister wants to meet with you urgently..."
The old eunuch was very worried. After all, the king is in a bad mood now, and what the prime minister wants to say, I am afraid that he will fill another firewood.
King Kuras looked at the messy hall, "Let him come to the back garden to find me."
Ten minutes later, King Kuras met with Imperial Prime Minister Tristin Hillbrent in the gazebo in the royal garden.
Tristin is an old man who is over a hundred years old and still in good spirits. His family was the first to seek refuge with King Kuras, so he won his trust.
"Tristin, what's the hurry?"
King Kuras adjusted his mood and tried to face his prime minister with a warm smile.
"His Majesty."
Tristin got up and saluted, "I just learned that the western region has not been peaceful recently, and the orcs are already preparing for war, and they..."
King Kuras settled down, "Say."
Today he is no longer angry.
Tristin cleared his throat and said: "...They said they want us to pay the New Year's money, which can be paid in the form of grain. If we don't receive it before winter, the Beast King will personally conquer and attack the Newt Province in the western border."
King Kuras stood up with a gloomy expression. If the person in front of him was not his prime minister, he might have lost his composure.
A little calmer, he asked, "How many orcs is the estimated army?"
"According to the scouts' investigation, it is initially estimated that the number is at least 30, all of which are elite."
Tristin's words made King Kuras frowned even tighter.
The individual strength of the orc warriors is, on average, much stronger than that of the human warriors.
And after many years of the continental war, all races have learned from each other's strengths, and the orc race is no longer a skirmisher who can only fight with brute force.
Their elites also have a relatively neat military capacity, and they will also have some joint attack formations. It can be said that with the same number of people, the human race will lose if it is less than 20, and it will be disadvantaged if it is less than 30. The commander and the orcs competed.
The premise is that their commanders are good enough, and the generals who stand at the front to boost morale are fierce enough.
If the Beastman King Yujia personally conquers, their generals will not be opponents. I heard that this generation of Beastman King Bailong is famous for his bravery.
At this time, there are only 10,000+ defenders in the western region, and they are all soldiers with little combat experience. Even if he transfers all the forbidden troops from the royal capital, he may not be able to win.
very troublesome...
Can it only mobilize the troops of the Great Wall?
"Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance. I hope you can discuss it with everyone at tomorrow's morning meeting."
Prime Minister Tristin's euphemistic proposal is actually saying that Your Majesty is obsessed with women and hasn't come for several days.
Kulas nodded and said: "I will go, and please ask the Prime Minister to think about the solution after returning."
I feel a little pity in my heart, it seems that I can't go to Ruth again tonight.
…………
In the large tent on the grassland, a hearty laughter echoed.
"Jose, your son is really nice."
Byron looked with satisfaction at a handsome young foxman standing in front of him, happily drinking wine.
The young man is very special among the fox people. Unlike other fox people whose ears and tail are close to fiery red, his ears are snow white, and a furry fox tail is also snow white.
He was wearing a white robe, with an elegant demeanor, with a bit of elegant air.
At this time, the man had a humble smile on his face, "It's the bravery of the king and the tribe that made this result."
"Fox, don't be too humble, you are much better than your father."
Byron praised.
It was the young man in front of him who gave him a good idea.
Originally, he received the news that the Great Wall army in the north was calling back to put pressure on Duke Godzilla who had just been released from prison, but after the military parade was held, his evaluation of Duke Godzilla rose several levels in his heart. There is also some hesitation about this war against them.
Although Balon is brave and warlike, as the king of the grassland, he still has to consider the survival of the tribes and ethnic groups. Wars must be profitable and not fight indiscriminately.
He discussed it with Joss once, but there was no reason for it.
If you don't fight, many orcs will starve to death this winter.
If they fought, if they pushed the Keya Empire into a hurry, they would actually be helping Duke Godzilla in disguise, and Duke Godzilla's return to the army might hit them hard again.
And the north of the Great Wall is not very stable, he actually knows it, so what opinions and hatred do you have towards the human race?
That's nothing at all, it's just for the survival of the tribesmen.
Unless it was a last resort, he actually didn't want to do this kind of butt stabbing. What if the abyss struck when they were defeated?
When he was struggling, Qiu Si came over the next day and immediately gave him a good suggestion.
Said that they could press eastward with a large army, only suppress but not fight, and then asked the Keya Empire for "year-old money" to solve the food crisis.
Originally, if the Keya Empire was stable internally, King Kuras would have gritted his teeth and accepted this battle no matter how incompetent he was.
But now it is clear that this battle is not easy to fight, and if there is no retreat in the fight, King Kuras may be extremely reluctant to use Duke Godzilla.
In this case, the probability of King Khusla's compromise is very high, and their yearly money is not as big as a lion's mouth, as long as they can hold their orcs until the beginning of next spring.
