After rebirth, one gold coin bought the Elf Princess

It doesn’t matter whether Lily has the ability to command 150,000 troops or not. The specific command can be handed over to experienced generals, but she must be in charge personally.

Fortunately, the internal situation of the Oro Kingdom is relatively stable. The Oro sacred tree has just bestowed divine blessings, and the country is in a period of rising public confidence. Anyone who causes chaos at this time is simply seeking death.

After making the decision, Roland immediately summoned 5,000 guards and set off overnight.

This guard is mainly composed of elven knights and druids, and is good at fighting in jungles and grasslands.

They can plant trees to replenish food at any time and can cross thousands of miles of grassland without any supplies.

As long as you reach the orcs' base camp, you can ask the enemy directly for food supplies.

After Roland set out on his journey, Lily convened a meeting of ministers overnight and announced the dispatch of troops.

At first, some ministers tried to persuade them by saying that it was not appropriate to resort to war since the new king had ascended the throne. However, Lily crushed all the opposition with just one sentence.

"His Majesty the Guardian Roland has already set off with the vanguard."

The civil servants shut up.

Roland was the guardian appointed by the Oro sacred tree before it fell into sleep, and his status was even higher than that of Queen Lily.

To oppose his decision is to oppose the Oro tree.

The civil officials remained silent, but the military generals were all eager to try.

The foreign policy of the Kingdom of Oro was very conservative, which resulted in the military commanders not having a high status in the court.

They longed for opportunities to achieve great things and for war.

Roland was the guardian appointed by the sacred tree, and he was also the hero of the entire human race. He wanted to fight the orcs, so why shouldn't he follow him?

The generals were very enthusiastic and turned their eyes to Her Majesty the Queen.

They all hope to become the commander-in-chief of a large army.

In peacetime, the highest rank one can hold is general, and only by leading a large military group and achieving outstanding military exploits can one have the opportunity to be promoted to marshal.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

However, Queen Lily's decision dampened the enthusiasm of many generals.

She announced that she would lead the army in person.

Some generals were disappointed, but some generals with high political sensitivity saw that this was a real opportunity.

They were in high spirits and volunteered to fight.

Her Majesty the Queen leading the army in person is an attitude. She does not understand military affairs and will not interfere in the command.

When generals led their armies into battle, they were afraid that treacherous ministers would interfere with their command. They were even more afraid that their heroic efforts would not be recognized by the king.

You risk your life to win the battle, but the king can't see it, then it's all in vain.

With the Queen leading the army in person, neither of these concerns exists.

As long as you have made contributions, the Queen will see it clearly.

Thinking of this, the generals' blood was ignited.

Who said that the Oro people are not good at fighting? This time they are going to teach those damn barbaric orcs a good lesson.

Seeing that the generals were eager to fight, Lily knew that the military morale was good, so she ordered the army to assemble and set out within a week, and left matters such as logistics support to the cabinet.

At the same time, she also generously promised that this time, the merits for rescuing fellow human beings and fighting against foreign races in racial wars would be doubled, and the contributions made by civil servants could also be converted into military merits.

This sentence was like a shot of stimulant, completely killing the last bit of fear in his heart.

Since there is such a good thing, you would be a fool to miss it.

The ministers and generals who had been reluctant to participate just now were now afraid of being eliminated.

......

Just as Lily was persuading the ministers to send troops, Mr. Aesop, who was standing in the watchtower of the Hansa City, felt very complicated.

He received an urgent letter from Roland, which briefly told him that reinforcements were on the way.

Perhaps in order to strengthen his will to resist, Roland made a solemn promise.

"Hold on firmly and there will be a way!"

Of course he was happy that Roland came to the rescue, he just felt underestimated.

How could the Hansa Kingdom surrender to the orcs?

They were an ancient kingdom that once possessed vast territories and a glorious history. How could they bow to barbarism?

Just as he was staring at the faint dust in a daze, his most trusted minister came up and whispered:

"Your Majesty, this time the four tribes of orcs are moving together to destroy our country and completely cut off the trade lines. They will never plunder and leave as usual."

"You have followed me for many years, just tell me what you want to say."

Aesop vaguely guessed what his most trusted minister wanted to say.

This is probably what many people really think.

Although orcs are barbaric, they are still members of the broader human race and can be considered a civilized race.

But they are bloodthirsty and violent, and will lose their minds if they are completely enraged.

This time, you either surrender directly or fight to the death. There is no third option.

It is impossible to try to resist first and then surrender when the situation turns out to be wrong.

The orcs would never accept this outcome.

Now he faces a choice.

He did not express his opinion, but asked in a deep voice: "What do the ministers say?"

"They said... these bastards thought that Your Majesty was a little selfish, not caring about the lives of the people, and resisting even though they knew they had no strength to fight back, which resulted in heavy casualties and the loss of the country over the years."

Aesop's face looked a little ugly, and then he smiled with relief.

What these ministers said sounded nice. They claimed to be talking about the people, but in reality it was all about business.

With the country destroyed, as a member of the royal family, his ending will most likely not be a good one, but these ministers can continue to enjoy wealth and luxury as long as they honestly serve as spokespersons for the orcs.

The current situation is very simple. Neither he nor the people are willing to surrender, but the best solution for the ministers caught in the middle is to surrender.

Without even a second's hesitation, Aesop drew his sword and chopped the letter in the minister's hand into pieces.

This sword technique was extremely exquisite and did not bring shame to the ancestors of the family.

His strength was not that great, but his swordsmanship was not inferior.

"Your Majesty, you..."

This letter is a letter of surrender written by the orcs, and this sword represents Aesop's attitude.

Aesop said calmly: "Tell all the ministers in the cabinet that if you want to surrender, you can take your family out of the city immediately. I will not stop you. When the war starts, if anyone tries to waver, I will kill them with my own hands and show no mercy!"

Sheathing his sword, Aesop stood facing the wind, full of vigor and vitality.

He has been enduring and patiently waiting for this opportunity all these years.

Roland said that if we hold on firmly, there will be a way, then there must be a way.

He will fight to the last drop of blood, even at the cost of his life.

He could die in battle, which was the honor of a warrior, but his children and family could not become slaves of the dirty orcs.

He will wait for reinforcements, he will definitely be able to do it!

King Aesop, who was determined to die, issued an ultimatum to all his ministers, saying that they could surrender, but they were not allowed to hijack national policies.

Some ministers were still hesitating, but others bravely made their choices.

surrender.

There was no need for them to go down with a ship that was destined to be silent.

Joining the orcs is not a very good choice, but it is the safest choice.

Aesop took a deep breath and put his right hand on the hilt of the sword.

At the end of the field of vision, the vanguard of the orc army was getting closer and closer, and one could even see their green, dark or red skin.

These guys with ferocious fangs are not as cruel as the goblins, but they are just as savage.

If they want something, they'll come and grab it.

Aesop put down his visor and at first glance he looked like an ordinary general, patrolling the city walls casually.

He walked casually, returning the salutes of the soldiers who saluted him, and silently observed their morale.

Very depressed.

There was obvious confusion and struggle in the soldiers' eyes.

They knew they had to fight to protect their homes and loved ones, but they had no confidence in victory.

If the public opinion had not been exaggerating the extreme barbarity of the orcs, perhaps these soldiers would have collapsed even faster.

Fortunately, orcs are really savage, and these propaganda never fail.

Just as Aesop was racking his brains to think of how to boost morale, a low voice came from the corner of the city wall.

Two young soldiers were discussing the battle situation.

"Marcel, I will probably die in this battle. After I die, please help me take care of my mother and sister. I know you are interested in her."

"Lan Sen, alas, I can't promise you."

"why?"

"I am the captain. If you all die, I will definitely die in battle before you."

The two young soldiers were silent.

If they lost the war, the Hanseatic Kingdom would be destroyed, and their families would also suffer. There would be no question of who would take care of whose family.

The two were silent for a long time. The soldier Lan Sen sighed quietly, "Maybe, I mean maybe, if it was His Majesty the King..."

"Shut up!"

Captain Marcel covered Lansen's mouth and shouted hastily, "Don't even think about it, and don't even say it! There is no possibility of reconciliation between us and the orcs, absolutely not!"

The soldier Lan Sen also realized what a crime it was to criticize the king when the decisive battle was approaching.

He looked at the captain with gratitude and was about to thank him when he saw a general approaching from the corner of his eye. He quickly stood up, not daring to look up.

The "general" wearing a face armor stopped in front of them and said slowly:

“This is the final battle, and we are the victors.”

Lan Sen and the team leader quickly saluted the "general".

After saluting, he opened his mouth and wanted to ask something, but the words stopped abruptly.

The mouth almost acted on its own again before the brain could.

Damn it, I must be more careful with what I say next time.

He didn't say it, but Aesop understood it.

He stopped and said loudly: "We are not fighting alone, our hero Roland and the powerful Oro Kingdom are on our side!"

Volume 225: The City of Freedom: Chapter : The City That Never Falls

The battle to defend the city began.

Although Aesop repeatedly stated that those who did not want to resist should leave and those who stayed should fight to the end, there were still some people who changed their minds and wanted to leave the city secretly on the second day of the war.

All these people's heads were used as sacrifices.

War is like this, there is no room for mercy.

Leaving before a war is at most cowardice; leaving after the war has begun is a loss of morale and will lead to death.

Aesop stood on the top of the city wall, tightly grasping the hilt of the sword, trying to support his tired body and show his presence to all the soldiers.

The glory of his ancestors once again flowed in his blood. He seemed to be possessed by his ancestors, unleashing his bravery on the bloody battlefield.

His physical strength was on the verge of exhaustion again and again, and recovered again and again.
