Chapter 2269 Letters and Masks
The news of the fall of Bell Mountain City reached the king's office in Hindmoor that day. Zalberg was shocked by this and hurriedly called the Prime Minister, Minister of State, Minister of Defense and others. important bureaucrats and military generals, and asked why the world's most impregnable fortress was breached in one day.
Everyone present was scolded and speechless. Zalberg took a big sip of tea before quietly calming down.
The Minister of Defense said: "According to the information received, it was because the enemy used some mysterious war weapon that all our officers and soldiers instantly lost their magical combat capabilities. In addition, Bell Mountain City suffered a large-scale attack The plague has severely reduced our army's combat effectiveness and morale, so..."
"You don't need to tell me these things, Mr. Duke." Zalberg waved his hand and interrupted him: "I'm going to ask you now. What should I do? Is there any way to make up for it?”
"That's right, Your Majesty." The Minister of Defense replied: "Currently we have a joint disaster relief army on the way to the mountain city. They are probably in the area of Hamei City now, 400 kilometers away from the mountain city, and there are 50,000 people. We still have Soldiers can be drawn from various provinces to form a new army, some border guards..." He talked eloquently.
After hearing this, Zalberg said: "What you said cannot solve the fundamental problem. What if Fried goes south again? Who else in the army can serve as commander and go to the front line? In addition, if the enemy continues What to do with mysterious weapons? Are we going to lose land one by one?”
The new Prime Minister Jimmy Carter said: “I don’t have many people who can serve as commander-in-chief.” A suitable person, your Majesty, don't worry, I will tell you one by one later. The enemy's mysterious weapons are a headache, and we still don't know what magic they used to do it. But your Majesty, don't forget that we also have it. The mysterious and deadly weapon is enough to bring the end of the world to the front line of judgment!"
Zarberg was refreshed: "I forgot about this. Is this forbidden magic used in the Bell Mountain City area?"
Jimmy Carter is a middle-aged man wearing a black long coat and a top hat: "According to my judgment, Freed will not go south so soon. , his troops have marched too deep and for too long, it is time to rest. We in Hamei City can set up defenses on the spot and wait for the follow-up soldiers and commanders to take office before making further arrangements. If the enemy launches a southward attack during this period, we will use Doomsday Judgment to cut off Fried's intentions. However, Fried will definitely think of this, so he will stay in the city and not move for the time being. Now we need to find out what happened to Bell Mountain City. Whether the damage to the city defense is serious or not, if it is serious enough to lose the main protection, we can take the initiative to attack the enemy and destroy them together with the Doomsday Judgment.”
Zarberg nodded repeatedly and said thoughtfully: "I heard that in order for the Doomsday Judgment to reach its maximum power, it must be led by a great mage of the eighth level or above, and it is best to have a major in fire and earth as a minor. Two lines. There should be people like this in our country, right?”
Prime Minister Carter said: “Don’t worry about this, Magic Worker. The vice-president of the Association, Queen Spark, is the best candidate. If she is not available, Archmage Sherkoff, the tutor of the Department of Magic and Architecture of the Royal Academy, is also a suitable candidate. He is currently on vacation in the eastern provinces, and His Majesty can summon him at any time. Come back. The Empire has always been willing to train these people in order to use this great magic when necessary."
< br>Zarberg nodded again, and his tense body relaxed: "Very good, this kind of inheritance is very wise and necessary. If necessary, the country's artifact can also be used. But I think, not yet At that time."
Everyone agreed: "The empire can easily defeat the small foreign army led by Fried. Get rid of it."
Zalberg waved his hand and said: "Don't be careless. Ms. Memphela reminded us before that the army was victorious despite a lot of preparation. This was all because of underestimating the enemy. I don’t want any accidents this time, and will do my best to destroy the enemy, and don’t let the two disaster-stricken lands again..."
A rapid knock on the door interrupted Zalberg's conversation, and the chamberlain called to come in. The minister rushed in hastily and placed a few pages of letters on the table.
Prime Minister Jimmy Carter asked: "What is this?"
The minister pushed the letter away and said: "I copied this from the Magic Guild. It is the creation king's power to the Holy Garden. The declaration of war. These two documents were sent via intercity transmission from the front line of Bell Mountain City, and were read by Fried personally. "
Everyone was in an uproar after hearing this. "Persuading you to surrender! How dare he, Fried, speak arrogantly and make such a joke. He was just a small sixth-level warrior before, and he said such a thing out of his mind?"
A few years ago, Fried was asked to take charge of the northern war. Due to the chaos in the country at that time and many other reasons, many forces in Saint Vicoia were in a wait-and-see state and did not take any action. It was also because Fried was familiar with the situation in the north and had strong ability to command troops.
Zalbog did not open the letter. The servant opened it and handed it to the king for viewing. After the king read it, several ministers read it again.
"Hmph, he actually gave an ultimatum to surrender within a time limit. How unreasonable. I, Saint Biko, can just take off his head and kick him away!" The officials were excited. , this letter is intolerable to any official with any imperial dignity.
"Prime Minister, didn't you say you have a candidate for the commander-in-chief? Come to an agreement quickly, the empire will deal with this traitor at all costs!"
Zalberg was about to let Jimmy Carter say it The commander-in-chief, his guard commander, a man nicknamed the 'Bloodthirsty Demon' came quietly and said a few words in his ear.
Zalberg was startled for a moment, then waved his hand and said: "You guys go down temporarily and go to the star-shaped conference room to discuss the details."
The ministers were quite surprised. They didn't know what else could be done than fighting on the northern front. Love is more important.
After everyone left, Zalberg opened the soundproof barrier and asked: "A letter from the organization?"
"Yes."
"Read it."< br>
The bloodthirsty demon whispered: "It's a secret magical message written by the throne of God himself."
Zarberg's pupils trembled. The throne of God has not personally acted for a long time. All instructions are passed down by the throne of God. This time He even wrote a secret letter himself! He looked at the paper in the hands of the bloodthirsty demon. There was a beautiful magic pattern on it. He held the paper in his hand and said, "Stay here and don't let anyone in. I'm going to the meditation room."
< br>When we arrived, there were walls on three sides and no windows. In the meditation room, Zalberg spread the paper in the palm of his hand and injected it with magic. The magic pattern on the paper lit up, and then ignited a flame. The flying ash scattered in the air, forming orderly candles. fire, while a light mask fell from the ashes.
Zalberg took the mask in his hand and put it on his face after a moment's hesitation. His mind was shocked and his eyes glowed with a strange light. Then he looked at the candlelight in the sky and turned it into words. .
