Chapter 18 Recruitment
On the road in Utre, the capital of Keston, a carriage with extremely luxurious decoration was running quickly towards the palace. Pedestrians on the road stopped what they were doing and followed the carriage with their eyes tightly.
The carriage is inlaid with a golden shield-shaped badge, reflecting dazzling light in the sun.
"There must be something major happened again," said a roadside shop owner standing at the door.
"I guess the war is going to start again, but the marshal cannot come out easily." After hearing the shop owner's words, a middle-aged pedestrian added.
The Marshal William the two mentioned is Botler's father, William Jameson, a master of Keston's national military.
Just last night, when Botler returned home with his wounds, the father and son talked about the middle of the night in the study. Early this morning, Old William hurried to the palace in a carriage.
The Royal Palace of Keston is located in the center of Utre, with an area of about 1.5 million square meters, accounting for one-fifth of the total area of Utre City.
The palace guards who saw the carriage coming from afar immediately opened the palace gate without daring to delay for a moment. Each soldier was so energetic that his body stood like a statue, with the expression on his face full of respect, and he stared at the carriage until he entered the city gate.
The carriage entering the palace did not mean to slow down. It drove to a huge and majestic hall before slowly stopping. The groom in the car turned over and landed on the ground, quickly pulled open the car door. From the coachman's skills, it can be seen that this is an absolute master, with his strength at least about 9th level.
A man wearing noble clothes got out of the car. From the outside, he could never tell that William was nearly 90 years old, but he looked like he was in his 50s (the average life span of humans on the mainland was relatively long, almost 130 years old).
Old William tidied up his clothes and walked up the long steps.
There were particularly many people in the hall today, and they were whispering to each other. From the throne on the central steps of the hall, it can be seen that His Majesty the King has not arrived yet.
Old William walked into the hall, nodded and greeted several old colleagues of similar age, and then closed his eyes on the chair under the throne steps. In addition to the throne, there were only two chairs in the entire hall, which shows the identity of Old William.
With the bell ringing, the hall suddenly became silent. At this time, a man in a royal robe slowly walked out from behind.
"Today, there is an urgent matter to be discussed together." The king looked at the old William sitting in the lower left and said, "Master William will tell you about this matter."
"As for your order." Old William bowed to the king's luggage and turned to everyone, "A few days ago, the military headquarters received news that a mysterious monster robes appeared in the No. 21 mining area of Jessep Mine in southern my country. He led his monsters to occupy the No. 21 mining area. Then Alpha, the guard of the nearby mining area, led more than 100 soldiers to encircle and suppress them. There has been no news yet. It is estimated that the entire army has been wiped out."
"I heard that the military headquarters sent General Botler to lead more than 10,000 troops? What was the result?" At this time, a general wearing armor stood up and asked.
Old William seemed a little unhappy, glared at the general and continued, "Later, the military headquarters sent more than 10,000 troops led by the child Botler to wipe out the enemy, but the result is ~~"
"How is the result?" Everyone hesitated when Old William was a little hesitant and asked repeatedly.
"As a result, he returned from a crushing defeat. He almost wiped out his entire army." Old William lowered his head in shame. He felt that this matter was the greatest shame to his family. "I have removed Botler from his post and asked His Majesty to make a judgment. At the same time, I beg Your Majesty to allow the old minister to remove the post of Grand Marshal of the Military Department." After that, Old William knelt down at the king.
The old marshal's words caused a stir in the hall. More than 10,000 soldiers went to encircle a monster master, but almost wiped out the entire army. Perhaps some ministers thought that Botler's ability was favoritism at the beginning, but the subsequent wars made everyone convinced Botler's ability, but this time he was defeated by a monster master.
"Where are the Botlers, where are they now?" The king's majestic voice rang in the hall.
"Just wait outside the hall, Your Majesty can summon him immediately." The old marshal quickly replied.
"Call him in, I have something to ask him." Hearing the king's order, the waiters rushed into Botler, who was waiting outside the hall, and came in.
"Botler, the sinner, has seen His Majesty the King."
"Botler, tell the ministers what kind of skills does that monster master have? It can almost wipe out my more than 10,000 soldiers." Before Bootler could walk up to him, the king asked impatiently.
"After I received the order from the military headquarters, I set off immediately. In order to ensure the insurance period, a thousand heavy infantry and mage troops were added. When I arrived near the No. 21 mining area, I did not find any abnormalities, so I sent heavy infantry to test it first. Unexpectedly, those monsters were all attacking underground. It was too late when I discovered it. So the monks asked the magic troops to clean up the battlefield and tried to eliminate the underground monsters. However, a new monster appeared, which could emit venom from a distance and was very powerful. The mages were killed without any preparation." Speaking of this, Botler seemed to recall the scene a few days ago and stopped slowly.
"Then, what's wrong? You were defeated by the other party like this?" The king was obviously dissatisfied.
"No, the criminal immediately ordered the entire army to retreat, but a large number of monsters emerged from somewhere. The speed was very fast. The monsters sprayed with venom made us unable to escape, so that later the monsters attacked from the underground came to the front..." Botler was already crying and burst into tears.
The hall became very quiet, and no one spoke, including the king. From Botler's description, you can imagine how tragic the scene was at that time.
"Later, when the soldiers used their lives to fight the monsters attacked close by, we could retreat into the woods. We originally thought that we were finally safe, before we could take a breath, a large number of monsters suddenly emerged from the ground next to the troops." Botler, who had calmed down, continued.
"Then how did you escape?" One of the ministers expressed great doubts about Botler. No one thought that Botler, as a general, could escape under that situation.
"Your Majesty, although the criminal is dull, he will not be a man who leaves the soldiers alone." Botler explained as he looked at the gaze full of doubts, "Just when we think we will die, the monsters suddenly retreated, and the monster master came out."
"What? Why did that monster master let you go? And where is he from?" The king immediately sat up straight when he heard this.
"I didn't say where he is, but said that he was not interested in us. As long as we didn't disturb him, he wouldn't attack him actively. Oh, by the way, and the Warcraft Master asked me to ask His Majesty to divide several nearby mine areas into his territory." Botler said that it seemed that he was afraid to face the king here.
"What do all the ministers think about this?" The king pondered for a while, and his eyes swept to everyone below.
"Your Majesty, I think we can first investigate the other party's background. If this monster master is sent by another country, then we will firmly eliminate it. No matter how great the sacrifice is, we cannot let him do whatever he wants. If he is from our country, we can send someone to negotiate to recruit him, give him a title, and seal him up to work for his country with peace of mind." A bloated minister stepped forward and suggested.
"Non-no, how do you know if he is a gap between other countries? To pursuing such a cruel person is tantamount to attracting a wolf into the house." A general in armor immediately shouted at the minister who had just proposed, and turned to the king and said, "Your Majesty, please allow me to lead troops to completely wipe out this monster master."
For a moment, everyone was talking and expressed their opinions. Some supported the recruitment and some supported the extermination. However, the king did not say anything.
"Marrior William, I will not allow your resignation. Tell me your opinion on this matter." The king looked at the old marshal sitting on the chair.
"From the situation reported to me last night, the strength of the monster master should be retained, that is, if it is really a fight, at least 30,000 troops must be sent. And yesterday I found a news in the military headquarters that in Opart three months ago, an officer named Fleck met a man who pretended to be a wizard in Opart City and arrested him for his own personal carrying elemental crystals and a wizard. Then the other party fled into the Kechla Forest. Later, when Fleck led the soldiers in to pursue and suppress, he encountered the resistance of the monster described by Botler. He also suffered heavy losses and returned in vain. The old minister suspected that this man was a monster master in the mining area." The old marshal carefully stated his analysis to the king. He did not mention the resignation at all.
"Oh? And that's the matter," the king suddenly felt energetic and said to the guards beside him, "Come me the one named Fleck." Then he said to the ministers: "You go down and discuss with me, whether to negotiate or fight, and give a result tomorrow."
At this time, Zhu Tianxing, who was far away in the mining area, did not know that he had now become the focus of Botler's national discussion. He was hiding in the underground base and fighting Doug who had just evolved.
Zhu Tianxing now has been able to fight Doug after several transformations. This time Doug is different from the past, and his speed has been greatly improved regardless of offense or defense. Zhu Tianxing estimated that his strength is about 8th level.
As for why he always uses Doug as a coach, it is helpless. If he really wants to fight with Philee, Zhu Tianxing will probably not be willing to die.
——————————————————————————————————————————————
This chapter is an excessive chapter and is written in a rather long-lasting way, because Zhu Tianxing then wanted to enter the human city, so he still needs to lay the necessary preparations.
The same old saying, please support me, recommend and collect, thank you here!
