As soon as the news of Greenland's appointment as the supreme commander of the country came out, it caused an uproar. Many nobles from aristocratic families who were brainwashed by the Pope's theocratic power expressed that they could not accept this appointment.
Even Mr. Carl Ge, who was on the same front as Chen Feng, found it incredible.
This is not to say that the laws of the Monti Kingdom discriminate against women. On the contrary, they actively encourage them to participate in the governance of the country and hold important positions.
For example, Princess Leia, who is the crown prince, and the Lord of Beta City of Jingluo Island...
These are the best explanations.
But no woman has ever been able to hold a military rank and knighthood, let alone such an important position as the supreme commander of the country.
Because of the many inconveniences caused by living in groups in military camps, and the fact that women will encounter even more inhumane torture by the enemy after becoming prisoners on the battlefield, the Knights have never recruited women, and there is no precedent so far.
Unless the man is dead! Otherwise, he will never let a woman ride a horse and hold a sword.
What's more, Greenland was a witch who had taken refuge with the orcs. She had caused two bloody massacres and was responsible for 40,000 lives. She should be tried and punished instead of being awarded a military rank that symbolizes national honor, such as the Nine-Star Knight.
Therefore, some people suspect that there is some kind of unknown secret between Chen Feng and Greenland, and that they were promoted to commander-in-chief through an improper relationship.
They even suspected that Chen Feng, as the emperor, secretly cuckolded His Highness Leia behind the back of his marriage contract with the Monty family.
If this is the case, we can ask Chen Feng to return the abdicated throne and return the Monty Empire to Princess Leia.
Faced with all these doubts, Chen Feng ignored them and just issued a very ordinary edict, emphasizing that according to the provisions of the new law, the position of commander-in-chief should be occupied by those who are capable, regardless of gender.
"Otherwise, let's forget it. Even if you don't grant knights and noble medals, I'm still willing to help you train new recruits."
Greenland held Wen Yao in his hand and wanted to return it to Chen Feng, "I am a guilty person after all. Your promotion like this will cause dissatisfaction and suspicion among the nobles and common people."
"The knight's insignia is a symbol of status. What you want to train is a regular order of 50,000 knights, not a team of 500 people. I am not here. You have no military rank, cannot convince the public, and cannot even mobilize the imperial army."
Chen Feng once again put the knight's tattoo on Greenlan's arm, "Please don't take it off again. I can naturally handle the matters in the royal city. You just need to train the new army with peace of mind. Don't think too much. We only have
Half a year’s time.”
Following Chen Feng's instructions and the suspicions of soldiers and civilians in the city, Greenland dispatched 50,000 forbidden troops out of the city and went into the primeval forest in the name of hunting.
The mission was kept secret from the outside world, and even the generals did not know it beforehand. They only made it public after arriving at the agreed location.
The training ground is a low-lying basin, located in the deepest part of the primeval forest. Fortresses and tents have already been built, and food and fresh water have been stored in advance. Maxims are placed on high points around to prevent anyone from deserting midway and leaking the training contents.
From now on, this group of forbidden troops will receive three months of retreat training here.
Facing Greenland, who held the Nine-Star Knight Pattern, the Imperial Guards were full of complaints but did not dare to vent their anger. They had no choice but to obey orders and train with peace of mind.
However, the city was in turmoil one after another, and various rumors spread in the streets of the royal city, saying that Emperor Chen Feng was bewitched by the demon Green Lan, who first gave away the military power, then the royal power, and finally ruined the throne.
The nobles took the opportunity to fan the flames, smearing Chen Feng in various ways, and even wanted Princess Leia to take over the Monty Empire.
"When things have reached this point, how should we end it?" Liya sat next to Chen Feng.
"This is a normal appointment for me. Commander Heyman is unconscious. No one can assume the position of commander except Greenland. There is nothing I can do if someone takes the opportunity to cause trouble." Chen Feng lay at the table and studied carefully.
Anti-aircraft artillery and map of the Royal Monti.
Ever since the last time the western part of the city was raided by the Dragon Clan, Chen Feng had made up his mind to install a complete air defense system on the city wall to resist aerial attacks.
And this system requires more than two hundred turrets, which is not a small project.
"Your Highness Leia, do you really think that the reason for promoting Greenland to commander-in-chief is because of some improper relationship between me and her?"
"These are all rumors, how can I believe them? At this time, please don't joke with me."
Leah was at a loss what to do. She held her chin with her hands and said tangledly: "Those counts would send me letters of request every day, asking me to depose you and then take back the abdicated throne. They are annoying to death, but they are too embarrassed to refuse."
"Sooner or later, this throne will be yours. I am just temporarily helping you manage the Monti Empire. If the counts ask, you promise them that you will handle it properly."
After a brief farewell to Liya, Chen Feng came to the city wall alone.
As early as half a month ago, he asked the craftsmen to build the fortress, and now he only needs to fill the turret inside.
Chen Feng had to do all these things himself, and no one else could help at all.
After placing more than 240 turrets at designated positions, Chen Feng collapsed to the ground exhausted.
The turret's attack requires radar guidance.
Chen Feng has already set the Dragon Clan Legion as a threat. Once it appears in the sky above Monty King City, the turrets will launch autonomous attacks, forming a dense cross-fire network between them.
"Give it a name. Why not call it Aegis? It's high-end and classy."
After the names were determined, Chen Feng sent special Forbidden Army guards to guard these fortresses to prevent them from being destroyed by spies.
The dragons can always appear in the sky above King Monti and can cause devastating blows to the ground, but with this complete set of defensive artillery, they can be guaranteed to never come back.
After installing the Aegis, Chen Feng went to the streets in the west of the city alone to estimate the losses caused by the Dragon Clan last night, and draw coins from the treasury to help rebuild their homes as appropriate.
"Even if it's in ruins, it's not like you can't even see a ghost."
Chen Feng walked back and forth for several hundred meters on the rubble. Except for a dog, he saw no living person. Even if he relocated temporarily, it would not be possible so quickly.
Just when he was wondering, forty or fifty guards from Alexis's mansion surrounded him from both ends.
"He was the one who killed the Earl. Whoever kills him will receive a reward of 50,000 coins."
The leader was the steward of the Earl's Mansion.
The guards did not know that Chen Feng was the monarch of the Monty Kingdom. Faced with the temptation of 50,000 gold coins, they all killed him one after another.
After drawing a gun, shooting, and threatening for a while, Chen Feng hurriedly climbed over the wall to escape, hiding in an abandoned attic, and set up Maxim at the top of the stairs.
"He's upstairs, catch him!"
Just as the guards were about to rush towards the stairs, gunshots rang out, and the dozen brothers at the front were swept by bullets. Their bodies were smashed, their flesh and blood were mixed, and various internal organs and blood stains were flying in the sky.
The other guards were frightened and fled in panic, hiding outside the attic and watching.
