Seeing the boss standing up solemnly, everyone couldn't help but feel nervous and quickly stood up straight.
"Yesterday, the Bracada Council received an official letter from Erathia, requesting us as the Holy Alliance to send troops into the kingdom to support and jointly eliminate the invading demon army." Moriarty took out an official letter.
Make a copy and circulate it in the conference room.
"Is the situation so bad?" White was the first to take the letter and read it quickly, his face darkening rapidly: "Since the 'Ice Doomsday', Erathia has not invited other armies to join the expedition.
The incident of entering the country.”
As a former king, White still has a strong sense of Erathian pride and honor in his bones. But now the kingdom officials have abandoned the long-standing tradition and openly invited other armed forces to enter. This can only show that Erathian is really
We have reached the end of our rope and are in an unimaginable situation. Otherwise, even if there is a little bit of freedom, the royal family will be violently opposed and destroyed by the military fanatics even if they want to send out such a "treasonous" invitation.
"And what's our answer?"
Gustav is a thoroughgoing Bracada native, so naturally he will not have the same intense feelings as White.
"The reorganized parliament has passed in principle a resolution to support the Kingdom of Erathia and jointly fight against the demons. However, since Brakada is also facing a large-scale invasion by the demon army, there are not many troops available for external deployment."
"What does that mean?" The silver-bearded dwarf looked at Moriarty in confusion and shook the "copy of the distress letter" in his hand.
"The Parliament decided to provide military assistance to Elasia in the form of a 'volunteer army.'" Clausewitz explained with a habitual sneer on the side.
"Volunteer Army?"
Most people present were puzzled by this brand new name.
"That is to say, the Parliament will call on the idle civilian forces in Brakada to go to the Kingdom of Erathia to fight against the devil on the principle of 'voluntariness.'" Moriarty immediately explained in detail.
"'Folk idle power'? Are you talking about us?"
It has to be said that sometimes Guderian's little mind still works very fast, especially when his own interests are involved. He has a strong intuition.
"Not bad." The old werewolf hummed.
"Can I not volunteer?"
As a duchess, Margaret also had good political sensitivity and immediately smelled something strange.
"Probably not." Moriarty smiled at the female werewolf and shook her head.
"this…"
The silver-bearded dwarf was about to curse immediately. It turned out that the so-called "voluntary" was actually "voluntarily". But when he glanced at White, who had a gloomy face and was about to get angry, Guderian immediately didn't dare to speak.
.
"This morning, General Cruyff has come to me and informally conveyed the 'suggestions' from the city lord's palace. Because it has just experienced the Civil War, the strength of Blue Crystal City has been damaged, and it will be necessary to send personnel to participate in the 'Demonstration'
Coalition Forces', so I hope that we, 'Olympus', can take the initiative to shoulder some 'responsibility'."
"really…"
When everyone who was mentally prepared heard this news, most of them showed unhappy expressions. Even White really hoped to return home and fight with his compatriots in Erathia on the one hand, but on the other hand he was not satisfied with the "resignation" of the Azurite City official.
I still feel very disgusted with the practice of "killing the donkey".
"Of course, it's not impossible if we resist and don't move. After all, we have the support of Hockenheim. The city government will not really break out and 'make trouble'. However, for personal reasons, I will still return to Egypt in the near future.
Lasia." After scanning for a week, Moriarty said in a deep voice.
"Your Excellency?"
"There is no other way. I received a letter from the Luoduo Chamber of Commerce. It was a letter asking for help from my father. He hoped that I could rush back to Kent County to help the family fight against the devil." Moriarty sighed softly.
"Boss, haven't you been kicked out of your home? You've even lost the title of heir. Now you want to come back and work for you!?"
Immediately, the silver-bearded dwarf couldn't hold it in anymore and jumped up and shouted. That day, he and White accompanied Moriarty to personally experience the "humiliating experience" of being kicked out. Even though Baron Ensberg was actually
A good compensation was given, but in Guderian's opinion, it was no different from the pitiful money given to beggars. For a proud professional, it could not make up for the damage to his dignity.
"Don't say anything yet and listen to what Morty has to say."
It was a personal matter related to Moriarty, and he and the Silverbeard Dwarf were both followers of the mage in their personal identities, so White stopped Guderian's roar.
"Haha. Guderian is right. I am no longer the heir to the family and I have no obligation to go back. However, I can ignore the wealth such as titles, caravans, and manors, but some people and some things cannot be said to be let go.
Just let it go."
For example, Hugo, the butler who treated him like a son and grandson, and Hamilton, his first martial arts teacher. And Mathilde, who was said to be unmarried and even aroused speculation and ridicule. These personal matters could usually be temporarily forgotten, but in the face of the invasion of demons,
Faced with the test of life and death, Moriarty asked himself whether he could stay out of it and live alone.
"Of course, this is just my personal reason for returning to Erathia. Except for White, Guderian as my follower...and Gregory, everyone else can choose to stay in Azurite City."
"Oh, I know I can't stop..."
The silver-bearded dwarf who was named immediately gave a fake sigh, but his expression was one of pride that "I am the direct descendant." On the side, White nodded heavily, while the magic lamp further away was still there.
Yawning.
"Your Excellency, the gunfire squad will follow you!" Gustav declared his position loudly immediately without any hesitation.
"Morty, is it okay for the wolf to enter Erathia?" On the other side, Margaret asked first, considering the issue of identity.
"With the identity certificate issued by Azurite City, there is no problem with this." Moriarty shook his head.
"Then the Wolf Cavalry Company will definitely serve as the sharpest blade in your hand." The female werewolf did not hesitate and clearly expressed her willingness to advance and retreat together.
Afterwards, the three-flower elf Bruno and the goblin mage Henry also "followed the trend" and expressed their willingness to follow the new boss to Erathia to "play".
As for the three Balalaika brothers who were too big to fit into the conference room, they were not considered at all. If they refused to follow, Guderian would definitely beat them until their flowers bloomed red.
"It is expected that we will return to Azurite City in a week, and then repair for five days, and then board the 'Dayun' airship directly to Kent County in Erathia. I hope you will actively prepare accordingly."
"yes!"
"Okay, let's adjourn the meeting. Master Henry, please stay for a moment."
After laying out the plans and preparations for the next step of "going abroad", Moriarty announced the end of the meeting, but left Henry alone.
"Sir, do you have anything else to say?"
The goblin mage was a little confused about the fact that Moriarty left him alone for "thematic exchanges" after the meeting. Because of the "magic lamp", Henry felt that it would be difficult to leave Moriarty's team unless he planned to "rebellion"
". Therefore, the goblin mage, who has been focusing on "retirement" in Olympus, also hopes to have more communication with his boss.
"That's right. The Civil War is now over, but some follow-up issues regarding prisoners of war and spoils of war are still being dealt with." Moriarty sat next to Henry and said slowly.
"yes."
"For prisoners of war, I heard that the South has some bad practices. It seems that there may be additional punishments of varying severity for prisoners on the battlefield?"
"Yes, according to our clan's practice, any goblin who is captured on the battlefield will be regarded as an immoral person. Even if he is released by the enemy afterwards, he will be subject to strict political review and punishment by the officials. This also includes those who are unwilling to
Goblin refugees who serve in the war." Henry was familiar with the political rules of the southern goblin city-states and answered immediately.
"Well, speaking of trophies, after the first few battles, we also seized a lot of 'war iron fists', including complete products and damaged remains. It is said that Khumbu City has no interest in redeeming these things, and they are likely to be
Use it as scrap metal to recycle." Suddenly, Moriarty changed the topic and talked about the loot again.
"Yes." Henry's thinking obviously couldn't keep up with the rhythm. He didn't know what the other party was going to say, so he had to simply respond.
"So, you say, if we buy all the 'War Iron Fists', find a way to repair them, and at the same time recruit some elite goblin prisoners of war who are unwilling to return to the south to do hard labor, is it possible to form an army belonging to Austria?
Where is Limpis’ Bronze Puppet Company?”
Finally, Moriarty revealed his ambition.
"this…"
Hearing the words "Bronze Puppet Company", the goblin mage who always prided himself on being calm couldn't help but take a breath. His new boss really dared to think, it was equivalent to building a nearly mid-level army without spending any money.
A heavy infantry company with combat capabilities can be said to be the best in "picking up leaks". Of course, this is also using the blind spots of thinking that ordinary people cannot reach, to bring together different things that were originally incompatible, and produce a qualitative chemical reaction.
"The control system of 'War Iron Fist' is far simpler than the original version. It uses some hand-controlled mechanical components to replace the precise alchemy array. Therefore, as long as there is no problem with the core central array, it is not too difficult to dismantle and replace other parts.
Difficult." The goblin mage pressed down his surprise, quickly recalled the information about the magic puppet, and affirmed.
"That's good." Moriarty nodded with satisfaction.
"Just taking into account the exchange and spare rate of damaged parts, I'm afraid that a company's 'War Iron Fist' needs at least a squadron's 'old products' base to support it." At this time, Henry reminded him in time: "This doesn't count.
Accessories will be added in the future.”
"It doesn't matter. I'll take care of the 'supply' matter. As for recruiting goblin pilots, I'll leave it to you."
"Yes, Your Excellency!"
Seeing Moriarty's confident smile, the goblin mage suddenly felt that the "War Iron Fist" company seemed to be waiting not far away.
