In the capital of the basharan empire.


    King Simon and his ministers are still discussing the war in the North... The fire in the hall has been added again and again, but no matter how long the meeting is held every day and reported all kinds of situations, in fact, they can''t come up with any valuable way.


    Boil the process and wait for the opportunity.


    When King Simon was young, the teachers who taught him often said. Since he succeeded as king, the whole basharan Empire has rarely seen such a serious situation as it is now.


    opportunity?!!


    When is the time.


    A large number of territories have been captured. Now we have to set up a defense line in our own territory to deal with the enemy


    Although it is safe for the time being, the domestic inflation and the resettlement of disaster victims have begun to heat up. If only the war of consumption is fought through resources, the basharan empire can withstand it for several years, but the internal problems are different.


    Because of the problem of victims, thieves have been rampant, burning, killing and looting in all places!


    Although there are obviously local lords and soldiers under their command to suppress, the suppression consumes a lot of supplies, and if the granaries in the central and western regions are threatened, the work of spring planting will be affected, and the country may fall into a food crisis at that time.


    Then


    Looking at the reports from all over the world and the plans of a group of Ministers for the future.


    None of them is really reassuring!


    At the moment, King Simon even regretted listening to Prince Philip and adhering to the defense policy... I didn''t expect that the cost of defense would be so high.


    "How long can we hold on if we continue to fight?" King Simon asked the ministers below.


    No one dares to answer.


    Simon pointed directly at the nearest man in front of him.


    "For you... Houston."


    "Er... Probably, probably... It can last for about two years."


    "Confirm?"


    "There should be no problem in a year." under Simon''s pressing, some nervous ministers said the answer they thought was very positive.


    In fact, if we insist, it should take longer. Although the basharan empire lost a large area of territory in the north, the borgs did not get much benefit. It takes a long process to completely annex this territory.


    They are also suffering, but in contrast, the weak side of the war is easy to lose popular support.


    After hearing the answer for a year, King Simon was so angry that he picked up the things on the table and threw them down... Even the ministers around him were not confident. How can we fight this battle? Just surrender the whole country directly.


    "Where''s Prince Philip?"


    Although King Simon regretted that he had obeyed the policy of defense.


    But even if the previous choice was attack, the result may not be better than that of the planet... At present, there are not many people around who dare to put forward opinions. Except for a few ministers and dukes, the opinions of his uncle are still very important.


    "The prince has recently arranged a meeting with king shata," said a minister.


    Shatta!


    By the way, it has been reported recently that the borgs encountered a roadblock when they tried to attack the southwest of the empire by bypassing the plateau, and this country is Xiata.


    Although a country in the plateau region has a small population, it also has combat effectiveness that can not be underestimated. More importantly, as the first country in the amansha region to stand up and say "no" to the borgs, it is one of the few good news heard by the basharan Empire since the beginning of the war.


    "What''s the result?" asked King Simon eagerly.


    "There is no news yet, but although shata has shown resistance to the borgs, he seems unwilling to join the battle... But the prince is still trying to sign an alliance with shata." the minister continued.


    By the way, I took a look at the man standing on the other side


    The nearest people who can sit in the king''s hall are the great Dukes except the ministers in charge of important departments of the country.


    The great aristocratic family who followed the early kings to fight in all directions and laid down the territory of the basharan Empire, and then was awarded the highest glory. Even now, they all control the forces in various places, and even the king is very polite to them.


    Archduke haruman was old, so he always arranged to sit next to him when he was in the hall.


    Many people know that Prince Philip is at odds with Archduke haruman. If you say good things about one side, you can''t help but look at the attitude of the other side!


    "That''s great. You send my order to Tell Philip that if there is any need, we can discuss it as long as it does not violate the national interest... And if he needs any assistance, I will try my best to meet it."


    opportunity!


    Finally, at this moment, King Simon seemed to understand the meaning of what the teacher said.


    This is a rare opportunity


    If shatta was willing to make a covenant with himself, the borgs would not dare to be so arrogant.


    At this time, the internal soldiers outside the hall rushed in to report that the war in the southeast was won!


    Ah?


    There was a surprised expression in the whole hall.


    Hasn''t the reinforcements sent gone long?


    Since receiving the local Lord''s request for help, all the people present attended the meeting, and King Simon immediately consulted with the Grand Marshal latura of the military headquarters. The other party seemed to have made preparations in advance and was able to discharge the reinforcements in the fastest way.


    But no matter how fast it is, it can''t be so fast.


    The Northern War took so long. There''s no reason why the South can finish it in just a few days.


    If the troops are insufficient, the nobles in the border are also insufficient... And there are no elite troops!


    "What''s going on?" asked King Simon.


    A minister received the soldiers'' report letter, and then read all the information in the letter in public


    Especially after hearing that the local Lord buried the whole rebel and desert gold regiment alive in the valley, the people present could not hide their shocked expression.


    As the imperial high-level, it is impossible not to know what the desert gold group means. Even if it has not met, many people in the hall, including King Simon, know about those historical events that have been in the target.


    Count Sean Wigle.


    King Simon recalled the name.


    I''m a little impressed. Prince Philip and Archduke haruman quarreled fiercely for the decision of the Lord of Oro. No matter who came, they didn''t agree. They hesitated when they tried to pronounce the name.


    In order not to worry about it, King Simon took advantage of that strength and directly ordered him to be Lord of Oro.


    I didn''t expect the other party to have such talent?!!


    "Duke haruman, who is this Sean vigil?" he suddenly looked at haruman sitting not far away and asked.


    "He, at the earliest time, the vigil family was a courtier of my grandfather''s generation. Because of their meritorious service, they were awarded the title of Baron. They were granted a land in a small town in the mountains, but they didn''t know much for so many years. The last time they saw him was when they accompanied the red dragon witch to riyetis..."


    Haruman is also very confused at the moment. The silent Baron has the ability to take charge of the battlefield?!!


    Hiss~


    "I think this is a good opportunity, your majesty."


    "What opportunity?"


    Everyone in the hall turned to Archduke haruman.


    "Your Majesty, do you remember when the king of jagong, the eagle of the desert and the Sun King visited our country more than 20 years ago?!"
