The first thousand one hundred and seventy-four chapters
Although there was a lot of discussion in the meeting, nothing was gained in essence. Everyone present knew very little about the Gate of Demon Realm, and some people had even heard of it for the first time.
If you don't even understand how the Gate to the Demon Realm works, how can you come up with a way to deal with it?
Therefore, the more we discuss, the more sad everyone becomes.
Jia Zhengjin was also very depressed. He originally called everyone together to discuss the response strategy, but in the end there was no progress. If it were a team of the human empire coalition forces, it might be better. However, the empire coalition forces may arrive, but they may not be able to open the door to the demon world.
Arrived successfully.
After all, a war with the Sea Tribe had severely damaged their vitality, and it was quite difficult to recruit soldiers to fight again in such a short period of time.
"Lord Keen, you see..." Selmy saw that the discussion could not produce any results, so he turned around and asked respectfully, "How about adjourning the meeting temporarily? I will ask all officials to go back and try to find information related to the Gate of the Demon Realm..."
Isn't this just temporary? What's the use?
Jia Zhengjin thought to himself, but when there is no result from the discussion, there is no need to waste any more time. He nodded to Selmy: "Okay, I will talk about my thoughts first, and then let the meeting end!"
"Sir Keen, please speak." Selmy immediately sat upright and respectfully.
The civil and military officials below also sat upright, with expressions of listening.
Regardless of whether they were really listening or pretending, at least Jia Zhengjin looked comfortable: "Although it is unlikely that there is information about the Gate of the Demon Realm, we should try our best to inquire after we go back. If we can really get useful information, we may even
If it has a major impact on the future situation and allows us to reverse the disadvantage, I will certainly not hesitate to reward you! Although the things I own cannot be said to be rare treasures, they must be very rare and useful. If I really want to contribute a certain amount, I will give them to you.
You can’t even use a divine weapon!"
"Hi~!!" Hearing this, everyone at the scene took a breath of air.
Gifting an artifact? This is the first time in my life that I have heard someone say it without any care. However, the other party is the God-Slayer, the Lord of Holy Dragon City, Mr. Keen, so there is no doubt about it.
In an instant, everyone became excited and wanted to end the meeting immediately and start investigating.
Jia Zhengjin paused and continued: "In terms of intelligence, we all need to work together. In addition, I want to say something else. In order to cope with the battle in three days, Minduojia City needs to be reinforced and defended in all aspects. At the same time, regarding the hostile forces in
The investigation and cleanup of lurkers in the city must also be accelerated. As for the lurkers, General Selmy has full authority to deal with them. If you need help, you can always come to me or a few of my followers to assist. Then there is the reinforcement of the city walls and defense construction.
I need a large amount of funds and enough materials, and I also ask the coastal countries to provide help in this regard. After all, the main battlefield this time is your capital, and defense construction will affect the success rate of the capital's defense."
"General Selmy, please try your best to cooperate with Lord Keen in this regard." Haldonai, who has not yet ascended the throne as king, is not very confident in speaking.
Selmy showed a tangled look when he heard this: "Lord Keen, what you said is of course. In order to strengthen the city defense, this money should have been paid by us. However, in the battle with the Sea Tribe, the coastal country also contributed a lot of military expenditure. I'm afraid
The treasury is too empty to pay for the gold coins and materials you need!"
Jia Zhengjin knew that when the Human Empire coalition fought against the Sea Tribe, almost all large, medium and small countries contributed a lot of funds and materials, and the coastal countries were no exception. For such small countries, the burden is indeed very heavy, not to mention that they have to maintain
The normal operation of the country cannot leave the national treasury empty.
But there is nothing we can do at the moment. In order to increase the chance of winning, we must use all possible means. If the city defense is not built, the chance of winning will be reduced by then, and the chance of losing will be great. Thinking of this, he said to Selmy
: "I understand that you are under a lot of pressure now, but there is no way now. The funds and materials from the national treasury are not enough, so we try to collect them from the people. For the survival of the world, I believe everyone will donate enthusiastically. After all, if the world is destroyed, everything we have now will
Everything will be lost, including everyone’s precious life. Explain it to the people well and win everyone’s support! Especially the wealthy merchants and nobles in the country, as long as they are willing to help, funds and materials will not be a problem!”
"Lord Keen is right!" Captain Wade said loudly, "Those nobles and businessmen have the most resources, so they should put in more effort at this time. As long as they understand the stakes, no one will refuse."
"Okay!" Selmy took a deep breath after hearing this, "I will make arrangements as soon as possible to collect supplies from Mindokia City and all surrounding cities, and strive to build the city defense in the next few days! But Lord Keen, this city defense
Does it include the arrow towers and fortresses you summoned when facing the sea clan’s battle?”
"That's right! I will strengthen the defense of Mindoga City according to the specifications during the battle with the Hai Clan, and it will not be demolished during the battle. It will be retained as a defense force for your capital city. Therefore, these resources will definitely not be wasted.
"Jia Zhengjin said to him.
"Thank you, Lord Keen!" Selmy's originally gloomy expression softened a little. If all the defense facilities can be left behind, it would indeed be worthy of his honor.
"Well, that's the situation anyway. Let's go back and prepare ourselves." After speaking, Jia Zhengjin stood up and said, "Now, let's go..."
"Report——!" At this moment, a soldier captain entered the conference room in a panic, quickly came to the middle of the hall and knelt down on one knee, "His Royal Highness, Lord Keen, General Selmy, there is a servant outside.
The soldiers broke into the palace and said they wanted to come in to find an acquaintance. They also said they saw him come in with their own eyes and would not leave until they saw someone!"
"Bold!" Selmy immediately stood up after hearing this, "You are still causing trouble at this time, catch these mercenaries!"
"General, there are many masters among these mercenaries, and our army cannot resist them!" the soldier captain replied with a grimace, "I had to talk hard to persuade them, and wait outside for the time being. But they asked me to find a man named Martin.
He is said to be a member of their mercenary group."
"Bullshit! Where did we get a mercenary named Martin here?" Selmy said coldly, "Where did the mercenary group come from? What is its name?"
"I didn't ask..." the soldier captain shook his head and said, "But the other party gave me a box of tonics, saying it was Mr. Martin's favorite snack."
"Tonic?" Selmi looked back at Jia Zhengjin doubtfully, wanting to ask what he meant.
Jia Zhengjin also felt baffled and did not make any reaction.
"What kind of tonic, can you show me?" General Kate asked curiously, then turned to Selmy, "Okay?"
Selmy nodded slightly, acquiescing.
The soldier captain immediately took out a delicate small box and handed it to Kate respectfully.
