Extraordinary Profession: I Awakened Lord

Chapter 141 Urgent Report!

Two days later.

Frankish Kingdom-City of Aachen.

In the early morning, the sun rises, and the gentle sunshine falls on every piece of land on the mainland. The green and tender grass buds dance with the wind, and the small branches and leaves are still hung with clear dew, just like this. Dancing gracefully, the dewdrops the size of soybeans also started dancing.

At this time, birds flew past the luxurious palace one after another. They didn't care about the beautiful scenery under their feet. In their little eyes, they only thought about the distance and freedom.

"What did you say?"

At this moment, an angry roar suddenly sounded, causing the birds in the sky to startle and run away.

However, fortunately, the palace does not prohibit birds from flying, otherwise these beautiful birds may become a black ball.

At this time, in the palace of the Frankish Kingdom.

The old King Philip II, who was sitting high on the throne, looked at the spies below in disbelief. His eyes became more and more angry as time passed.

Seeing the angry-looking old King Philip II, a group of His Highness's palace ministers suddenly fell silent.

They were well aware of the terror of the old king. Even though he was older, as long as he did not die for a day, no noble would dare to resist him head-on.

Because the nobles who dared to resist did not live well, and many of them died without knowing it.Because the old king's methods were reasonable and compliant, the nobles could only accept this result aggrieved.

But now, the Iron-Blooded City has actually been lost.I just learned today that according to the advancing speed of the orcs, the second line of defense on the border of the Frankish Kingdom may be in danger.

Although the border nobles will be very careful when facing such a powerful enemy as the orcs, the border nobles on the second line of defense are far less cautious than the border nobles on the first line of defense.

Probably because, as long as the first line of defense is not breached, it will be difficult for the border noble gates on their second line of defense to guard them wholeheartedly.

But now, in this situation.I am afraid that it will be difficult for the border nobles on the second line of defense to be alert. Under the night attack by the orc soldiers, their chances of survival are slim.

This is also the reason why the old King Philip II was angry.He's not dead yet?This group of nobles carry them like this. They are still nobles on the border. You must know that they are the front line facing the orcs.

If he is so slack, when he dies, will the entire Frankish Kingdom continue to exist?

It seems that relying on these nobles is not enough.After all, we still need to cultivate some nobles who are loyal to the royal family, otherwise...

Thinking of this, the head of the old King Philip II felt a little painful. He lowered his head slightly, stretched out his old fingers, and rubbed his temples.

At this time, a palace minister came out. He performed a standard aristocratic etiquette towards the old King Philip II, and then said with a pinched voice:

"Dear King Philip, now that things have happened, it is no longer useful to blame those border nobles. The first priority now is to stabilize the kingdom's defense line. Otherwise, if the orc army breaks through the western border defense line, the kingdom will be in trouble. Something big is really going to happen!”

"Yes! Great King Philip, now is not the time for punishment. Stabilizing the defense line in the Western Region is more important than anything else!"

"King Philip, the first important task now is to ensure the defense line of the Western Region. Punishing these can wait until later to punish those damn Western nobles! Alas... I really don't know what they are thinking. They are so careless on the front line of the war. ?Are you afraid of winning the war?"

The old King Philip II, sitting on the extremely luxurious throne, looked on coldly at some nobles who spoke below.

If you observe carefully the nobles who just spoke, you can see that they are all from the central region.Therefore, when the orc army was about to break through the second line of defense in the west of the kingdom, they became anxious and wanted to ensure the stability of the defense line behind them.

Among them, of course, is the benefit.Because there are only five defense lines in the western border of the kingdom, the closer to the orc area, the stronger the defense lines are.

As the Orcs and the Frankish Kingdom entered a sweet period, the last two lines of defense were no longer being repaired. Therefore, all the nobles were concerned about whether the latter two lines of defense could continue to withstand the Orcs' army. Suspect.

The nobles in the central region spoke enthusiastically because as long as the orc army broke through all the defense lines in the western region, they in the central region would have to face the orc army's front.

This is something they don't allow to happen.Because the defense lines in the central region are even more rubbish than the last two lines of defense in the west. It would be like dreaming to see those decayed and dilapidated defense lines blocking the advance of the orc soldiers.

Of course, the old King Philip II knew all of this. As the Frankish Kingdom and the Orcs entered the honeymoon period, the defense lines in various parts of the kingdom had not been maintained for a long time.

The nobles of the Western Region are better off. After all, they are the first front line facing the Orcs. In the face of such a life-and-death matter, they can still resist the temptation.

As for the central region and other areas of the kingdom, they were thinking that the orc army would not attack again, so they spent the money to repair the defense line and spent too much money, which is why they are so panicked today.

Although he hated these corrupt nobles, the old King Philip II had no good solution, because the cornerstone of the kingdom's governance was the large and small nobles behind these nobles.

As long as he still has the Frank Kingdom, he cannot be cruel to them unless it is reasonable and legal, but such opportunities are too rare.

Therefore, the old King Philip II could only feel sulky in his heart, and he said with a somewhat sarcastic tone:
"Okay, go tell Duke Adel, I don't care what he does, you must guard the Western Territory for me before reinforcements arrive!"

"Then, tell Marshal Damian that if he doesn't speed up, the border of the kingdom will be breached by the orc army. I don't care how he leads the troops. I will give him at most one day and one night. He must reach the Western Territory as soon as possible. The third line of defense, then stick to me! I don’t want to hear about the orc army breaking through the line of defense again!”

"Do you understand?" The old King Philip II stood up slowly. Although he had white hair, his eyes were extremely sharp. Under his cold, knife-like eyes, all the ministers in the palace sat upright.

"Understood! Great King Philip!"

"Understood, great King Philip!"

"Also, tell the border nobles that if they don't want to be expelled from the House of Lords, take back the defense line!"

After that, the old King Philip II tossed his sleeves and left the palace.

"Obey! My Majesty the King!"
