Extraordinary Profession: I Awakened Lord

Chapter 148
after one day.

Under the leadership of Simone, the orc army broke through the third line of defense in the Western Territory. Within the next two days, the remaining two lines of defense in the Western Territory were like paper in front of hundreds of thousands of orc soldiers, and were quickly cut through by the orc army. wear.

Facing the wolf-like orc army, the nobles in the central, northern and southern regions of the Frankish Kingdom were already trembling.

It is said that the Frankish Kingdom has the strongest military strength in the western region, followed by the central region. The military strength of the northern and southern regions is completely different from that of the western region.

Therefore, under the command of Marshal Simone, hundreds of thousands of orc soldiers quickly captured the important cities in the central region. Although no nobles have surrendered yet, according to the current trend, it is estimated that it will be impossible for nobles to surrender. Far.

At this time, in Aachen, the capital of the Frankish Kingdom, a fierce quarrel was breaking out in the extremely solemn palace.

"At the beginning, I said that we can't go to war with the orcs. You must not believe it. Now, okay, the army of the orcs is about to attack the city! But now, our reinforcements are thousands of miles away from us, and we are thinking of returning reinforcements. , is already impossible! Alas..."

Just when a gray-haired elderly noble complained about the hawkish young nobles who advocated war, the old King Philip II couldn't help but frown.

Although this damn old man was complaining about the hawkish nobles on the surface, he was actually mocking him. After all, without the strong support of the old King Philip II, the monarch of the great Frankish Kingdom would be able to rely on these young hawkish nobles. It is absolutely impossible for the government to issue a secret order for war with the orcs.

After all, although the young hawkish nobles are not weak in power, their influence is still much weaker than that of the doveish older nobles who advocate continuation.

For all the nobles in the government to reach this agreement, it is absolutely impossible to rely solely on the young hawkish nobles. Without the secret pressure of the old King Philip II, these young hawkish nobles would still have to continue clamor.

However, this old nobleman is a well-known boss among the doves, and he is already old, so even if he is ridiculing himself, the old King Philip II can only break his teeth and swallow it.

Of course, if the defense line is held and then waits for the support of the human coalition to counterattack the territory of the orcs, then it will be a different scene at this moment. The victorious old King Philip II will be more powerful than before. power.

Unfortunately, this is only if.Therefore, the old King Philip II could only look at the dovish boss with frustration.

"I would rather die standing than live on my knees! If we don't take advantage of the orc clan's serious injury to counterattack their territory, after they have recuperated, they will definitely invade my territory of the Frankish Kingdom again as before. Rather than being slowly bled to death by the orcs, it is better to rise up and fight for a bright future!"

Seeing the humiliation of the old King Philip II, the hawkish nobles who should have shrunk their heads and acted like ostriches finally couldn't hold it back. At this time, a young hawkish officer nobleman stood up. With an angry face, he pointed at That dove-styled old nobleman was just an output.

As soon as he finished speaking, before his fellow hawk nobles could secretly applaud, he saw another dove noble standing up with an indignant expression. He hurriedly took a few steps and walked towards the young man. In front of the hawk noble, he pointed at his nose and cursed:

"Glory! Glory! You all know glory. You must know that this is not a battlefield, this is a palace! The kingdom needs not only war, but also development! If everyone dies in the battle, who will protect the civilians? Are you counting on the orcs? Only Only when you survive can you think about the future!”

"The future should be full of honor, not just an ignoble existence! Besides, even if we continue to fight against them, do we have a future? Rather than being slowly bled to death, I would rather choose to die fighting now. This kind of humiliation makes me I won’t bear it!”

Seeing someone on the other side helping, how could the young hawkish officers and nobles endure this?After all, they are all of a fiery and masculine age. Although they have strong military qualities, facing the suppression of the dovish nobles directly reminded them of the scenes of being bullied by these damn old men in the past. Suddenly, a young man The hawkish noble cursed.

"Peace is not something you have to wait for, it is something you have to fight for! According to your thinking, sooner or later we will still have to be defeated by the orcs. Instead of humiliating ourselves and waiting for death, it is better to fight hard!"

"Did you win anything? Victory? No, on the contrary, you defeated the fate of the Frankish Kingdom. The current predicament the kingdom is in is all due to you little devils who don't know how to live or die! If it weren't for you, Let's get mad together, will we be beaten to the city by the orcs? This consequence is all caused by you! You damn brats, the great Frankish Kingdom will be defeated by your hands!"

"That's right, it's all down to you. If you hadn't preached together and worked hard, would we have been in the predicament we are in now? If we continued to slowly fight against the orcs, we might still be able to wait for a good opportunity to kill the orcs. !”

"You damn brats, it's all your fault. Now the kingdom is invaded by an army of orcs, but all our troops have fallen to the front line. Who do we rely on to protect this huge territory of the Frankish Kingdom? You rely on your mouth. The glory in the kingdom! My late emperor, the kingdom must forget it! I’m sorry for you, sir..."

As the hawk nobles fought back, the dove nobles became more and more angry. Now this predicament is all caused by you, and not only do you not shrink your heads and act like a tortoise, you even speak loudly and insult them. I really don’t know what to say. ah.

As more and more dove nobles spoke one after another, the hawkish nobles who were in high spirits were blushing and thick-necked. The atmosphere in the palace was a bit dangerous. Those damn young hawks were so noisy. If they can't win against the old men, they will think of using force to suppress them.

As a result, at this moment.

The old king Philip II coughed heavily, breaking the atmosphere of confrontation between the two parties in the palace. Although he also hated this group of dovish nobles, as the king of the Frankish Kingdom, Philip II knew that the world not only needs desire The glorious hawk nobles also need the steady dove nobles.

The two complement each other and restrain each other. The absence of either one will lead the exhausted Frankish Kingdom to two extremes. For the Frankish Kingdom with the orc family as its formidable enemy, these are two extreme paths. It's all a dead end.

Therefore, after the old king Philip II took a few deep breaths in his heart, his emotions finally calmed down. He scanned the officials below with a calm expression. He shivered in fright, and then quickly lowered his head.

In addition to a few extremely powerful dove bosses, there are also a few hawk nobles who are still sulking. They are blushing, gritting their teeth, waiting for those damn old men, if not The great King Philip II strictly prohibited the use of force to suppress the situation. Maybe there would be a sea of ​​blood in the court at this time.

"Okay, that's enough! This is the fact, what's the use of saying anything else? Now we need to quickly think of a way to stop the orc clan's offensive!"

Following the conclusion of the old King Philip II's speech, there was a sudden silence. This caused the originally tense atmosphere in the court to quickly change to a bit embarrassing.

Although the young hawkish nobles would like to come up with a solution to save the wisdom of the great old king Philip II, but in this situation, they are powerless.

Therefore, a very strange scene appeared in the court. A group of older dove nobles looked like they had nothing to do with themselves. After all, the trouble was caused by the young hawks themselves. Why should they dovish people have to bear the responsibility for breaking out? This is not okay.

Secondly, there is another reason, that is, they don't know what to do. After all, they are the nobles of the Frankish Kingdom, not the nobles of the Orcs. If the Frankish Kingdom is destroyed, then they will also fall into the dust.

Because their aristocratic status and wealth are closely linked to the Frankish Kingdom, hundreds of years of history have made them increasingly tied to this country. Although this has brought them huge benefits, During the war, this would undoubtedly be one of the biggest losing points.

Therefore, if the Frankish Kingdom can become better, they will also benefit from it, but unfortunately, the plan of the hawk nobles failed, and the kingdom is now facing the biggest crisis in hundreds of years.

If you are not careful, the country will be destroyed and the clan will be destroyed.However, with their aging bodies and increasingly numb minds, they could only open their mouths to slander people instead of killing people with knives.

"Your Majesty the King, are you willing to move the capital?"

As soon as these words came out, there were countless waves.

The speaker was the Prime Minister of the Frankish Kingdom, Duke Gnaeus Pompeii.He was born in the Pompeii family, a powerful family in the Frankish Kingdom. He was smart since he was a child, so he was liked by the old Duke at that time.

After the death of the old duke, the identity of the successor was established for him. This made the then Duke of Gnaeus Pompey receive the attention of the entire Frankish kingdom and the major forces of the human race.

In the ten years since then, Duke Gnaeus Pompey's reputation has not been revealed, just when everyone thought that this genius monster was smoothed by the years after all.

Duke Gnaeus Pompeii succeeded to the throne. He inherited the title of Duke of Pompeii. Although this caused a lot of turmoil at the time, no one continued to pay attention because the monster in his childhood was no longer there.

Just when some people felt regretful and others relaxed their vigilance, Duke Gnaeus Pompeii soared all the way. His amazing wisdom and superb methods soon regained the previous glory for the Pompeii family.

Today, Duke Gnaeus Pompeii has become the prime minister of the Frankish Kingdom, and his Pompeii family, under his leadership, has become the second largest family in the Frankish Kingdom, and now the old King Philip II The legitimate son of the world, and the nephew of Duke Gnaeus Pompey.

Therefore, everyone is very cautious when dealing with Duke Gnaeus Pompey's inquiries.

Listening to the inquiry of Duke Gnaeus Pompey, the old King Philip II fell into silence. He did not want his reputation to be damaged, because it would be a great shame to move the capital due to the invasion of foreign enemies during his tenure. .

The old king Philip II didn't want to, and he didn't want to, but the current predicament was shaking his decision.

On one side is his own reputation, on the other is the Frankish Kingdom.

At this time, all the nobles in the court held their breath and concentrated, because the decision of the old King Philip II may change the history of the Frankish Kingdom. Therefore, everyone was very careful, fearing to disturb this old man. Thoughts of His Majesty the King.

After 10 minutes.

The old King Philip II finally made a decision. His eyes were calm but extremely sharp. He glanced at the ministers below and seemed to feel that power was leaving him.

"Move the capital!"

"Huh..." The nobles in the court hall either let out a long breath or let out a cry of surprise.And this little voice represents the thoughts in every nobleman's heart.

After telling the answer, the old King Philip II felt a big stone loose in his heart. Although it was difficult to make a choice when he was struggling just now, you will be very calm after you make a choice.

At least, that's the case with the current old King Philip II.Between his own reputation and the Frankish Kingdom, he chose the Frankish Kingdom because it was the foundation created by his ancestors and the glory of their family.

He can lose his reputation, but the royal family cannot lose the Frankish Kingdom. Without the Frankish Kingdom, the royal family is just a lamb to be slaughtered. Besides, he also has a son. Although he is not very smart, at least the Frankish Kingdom can continue to be passed on.

Looking at the old King Philip II whose face was slack and his anger gradually dissipated, Prime Minister Gnaeus Pompeii sighed in his heart. Of course he knew what consequences this decision would have on his old friend, but there was no way. Prime Minister of the Frankish Kingdom.

Not only for the sake of the entire Frankish Kingdom, but for the sake of his own family, he was unwilling to let the Frankish Kingdom perish. You must know that if the Frankish Kingdom is gone, other small and medium-sized nobles can change their appearance. After all, who is the master and who is not the master.

However, it will not be easy for them, the great nobles who are closely related to the Frankish Kingdom. After all, the resources are available in every place, and no one is willing to accept a strong enemy to come and share resources with him.

The resources enjoyed by the small and medium nobles are very few, and it is impossible for the big nobles to occupy all the resources, so they are willing to accept the small and medium nobles, because although these small and medium nobles are not strong, they are also powerful, and the land they occupy There won’t be too many resources.

This means that these small and medium-sized nobles will not pose a threat to their dominance, and they can also help them.

It is different to accept the great nobles.

"Phillip, I'm glad you're not confused yet!"

"Our first priority now is to quickly recruit the people in the royal city and then quickly train them."
