In a not-so-spacious room, five important figures were sitting, and the one sitting at the head was none other than King Ren, the current supreme ruler of the Kingdom.
The remaining people are the left prime minister, who represents the interests of the traditional aristocracy, the right prime minister, who represents the interests of the emerging bureaucrats and big businessmen, Marshal Sanchez, the military representative, and the leader of the Golden Dragon Forbidden Army, the dragon knight Thor.
These people who might have quarreled over the groups they represented at the court meeting were now sitting quietly on their chairs, digesting the news just announced by Renn and Thor.
"Lord Thor, are the Golden Dragon clan determined to tear up the agreement? Is there any room for reversal?"
The left prime minister asked again without giving up.
The human race has been under the protection of the golden dragon for hundreds of years. Since the disappearance of the first king Aragorn, the relationship between the human race and the golden dragon has entered an unequal situation. They originally signed an agreement with the human race under the pressure of Aragorn.
The golden dragon clan has gradually become the patron saint of mankind, and humans have become accustomed to the protection of golden dragons.
It's just that for the Golden Dragon clan, all the constraints are not a piece of paper with no effect, but the powerful strength of Aragorn. Since Aragorn disappeared, this binding force has been declining. In the first hundred years,
, the human race can still have double digits of dragon knights at the same time, and they are all solid young golden dragons. Later, Aragorn disappeared for longer and longer, and the attitude of the golden dragon clan also gradually changed, from almost free help to
Various conditions were put forward. The number was getting smaller and smaller, and green dragons were used to top up the number. By this generation, there were only two golden dragons and four green dragons to top up the number. Even because the human king executed a dragon knight, one green dragon was also killed.
After recalling, the dragon knights who once could form a team now only have five pitiful dragon knights left.
"Is there really no other way? If possible, just leave one dragon behind."
The person speaking this time was Army Marshal Sanchez. This veteran who was over seventy years old spoke very forcefully. Although his strength was only the peak strength of the Great Knight, with his outstanding war command skills in his early years, his presence was like a talisman in the army.
But the old marshal, who had always maintained a resolute look, now also looked anxious. Compared to the left and right ministers, he was the one who understood the value of the golden dragon best. Even Thor did not see it as thoroughly as he did.
,
In fact, the dragon knights of the Golden Dragon Kingdom do not have much advantage against the orcs in Thor's generation. The orcs have two sky-level masters. Even if they are not the opponents of the two golden dragons, they can still form a check. The three green dragons,
The orcs also have far more earth-level masters to deal with than humans.
In terms of high-end force, even if you include the Dragon Knights of the Kingdom, the advantage of humans is not obvious. In terms of mid-to-low-end strength, they are completely crushed by the orcs. The population advantage is not as great as expected. Some female orcs and as long as
Old orcs who are not too old to walk can still afford weapons to fight when needed, and their combat effectiveness is not inferior to that of young and strong human soldiers.
Humans can still enjoy peace for two reasons. One is the obstruction of Longxing Pass. After all, Longxing Pass is a key place that humans have managed for hundreds of years. Not only are the fortresses strong and all military facilities complete, but also
Humanity's most elite Longxinguan Corps is stationed there, and it has sufficient supplies of food, grass and baggage. It cannot be broken open by the orcs. Secondly, the orcs still have concerns about the Golden Dragon clan. What the orcs fear is not actually the five people from the Golden Dragon Kingdom.
The dragon knights of Zhenguo were afraid of the sudden intervention of the golden dragon. What they were afraid of was that just like hundreds of years ago, dozens of golden dragons and green dragons suddenly appeared on the battlefield and slaughtered the orcs indiscriminately.
Combining these two reasons, although humans and orcs have had constant conflicts in Longxing Pass for hundreds of years, and Longxing Pass is also the place where the human army has the highest death rate in service, the orcs have never truly mobilized with the power of the whole country.
Over attack.
Sanchez hopes to keep a golden dragon, just to keep a deterrent, at least to have some contact, to show the attitude of the golden dragon family. If there is really no dragon left, wouldn't it tell the orcs clearly that the golden dragon no longer intends to protect humans?
Unfortunately, in the face of Sanchez's question, Sol still shook his head. Sol and Renne have worked hard on all the efforts that these guys can think of. If there is any chance, Renne will not choose to make it public.
News, the support of the golden dragon is a kind of protective force for human beings. For the Charman family, it is the most important part of consolidating the royal power. If it were not for the fact that the matter is irreversible, Renn would not be willing to bring it to the table.
explain.
"Asuo is willing to stay and help me, but the order from the leader of the Golden Dragon Clan is that all dragons must withdraw before autumn."
After all, the Golden Dragon clan has been getting along with humans for so many years. With the longevity of Golden Dragons, many dragons and dragon knights in the clan have a certain friendship of fighting side by side. They are not too strict in doing things. They still give humans some buffer time, but
This time is too short, far from enough for humans to react. Golden dragons like Asuo, who are quite close to humans, are even more willing to stay, but they cannot withstand the clan leader's strict order and must return.
"There is no need to discuss the matter of Rang Jinlong now. We have to prepare for what will happen after Jinlong leaves."
"The Longxiguan Corps must be expanded again to maintain at least 1.5 million troops. The castles on the plain between the east side of the royal capital and Longxiguan must be inspected to ensure that each castle has a certain amount of combat capability.
ability."
"The fleet on the Jinlong River must also be expanded and prepared for war recently, and all the fortresses on the river bank must be inspected."
After all, with the formidable enemy of the orcs on its side, the Golden Dragon Kingdom has never produced a truly foolish king. No matter how much mankind has been involved in the past hundreds of years, it has never relaxed in strengthening its defense against the orcs. Of course, the defense line against the orcs
There are not only Longxing Pass, but also several fulcrum-level cities on the east side of the Central Plains and hundreds of noble castles of various sizes. Most of the nobles of these castles are also military nobles who came from Longxing Pass.
The defensive function itself is not weak, but it has been at peace for a long time. I am afraid that some descendants have weakened the defensive capabilities of the castle a lot. At this time, the kingdom needs to supervise and strengthen it. These castles and several large cities on the eastern front are
The second line of defense of the Golden Dragon Kingdom.
The navy and fortress defense line of the Jinlong River is the third line of defense operated by the human kingdom. If the orcs break through the second line of defense and the Golden Dragon City is lost, then humans can still give up the eastern territory of the Central Plains and retreat to the west bank of the Jinlong River. With many years of operation,
The Jinlongjiang fleet continued to resist.
"Awareness of this matter is temporarily controlled. Apart from everyone sitting here, only nobles above the marquis and some important ministers have the right to know."
"Does anyone have any objections to this deployment?"
Renn sat in the front seat and asked after listening to Sanchez and Saul deciding on specific actions one by one.
"No no…"
At this moment, the five most powerful people in the Golden Dragon quickly reached an agreement in a small palace. No matter how they fight, everyone is not a fool. They know the stakes and no one can sit in this position.
, perhaps the details still need to be considered, but consistency in the general direction has been reached. Next, all armies and military facilities across the country will undergo the most stringent inspections...
