"Why hold a large-scale drill during Chinese New Year? They even ask everyone to go out to the streets to see them off early in the morning, making it look like a real army going to war! It's not entirely a good thing for young people to be fond of showing off! In this regard, Old Wang was much better back then and would never disturb the people like this!" the man continued.
Well said!
That’s very well said!
Xia Zhe's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he felt secretly proud.
Or the tossing plan that I planned personally is awesome!
Look, someone is unhappy, isn't he?
"I forbid you to speak of the king in that way!"
A female voice spoke angrily, it was Lillian.
Lillian took Wang out to the street to let him feel the New Year atmosphere and have some fun.
As a result, Lillian felt really uncomfortable when she heard such remarks.
Being a king is the most miserable! Being a king is the most tiring!
The king is worried about the prosperity of Stoby!
Even if Wang does some things without thinking, you should understand!
How can you start complaining at the slightest sign of trouble?
"Don't interrupt! Let everyone discuss freely!" Xia Zhe hurriedly grabbed Lillian's hand and gave serious instructions.
Although no one knows his identity.
But Lillian came from the palace and was the king's personal maid, and many people knew it.
We must not let her talk nonsense and suppress the tendency of complaints that has finally arisen!
Otherwise, your plan to quit the get out of class will be ruined again!
After being warned by Xia Zhe, Lillian had no choice but to shut up.
She knew in her heart that Wang wanted to know the true sentiments of the people!
It’s not easy to be a king!
Get up early and work late, working hard.
Even when he finally squeezed out some time to relax, he was only thinking about understanding the people's sentiments and never thought about himself!
"If you ask me, your idea is really not good! It is true that the king has had some troubles this time, but Stoby's changes are obvious to all! How can there be a king who never makes mistakes? As long as he is dedicated to the people, he is a good king!" someone retorted.
"That's right. In fact, this large-scale exercise didn't disturb the people too much. The king knows his limits! Aside from the regular army and the copper mine's reserve troops, the participants in the exercise are mainly new immigrants! The old residents of the city just took the trouble to get up early and just went to see the troops off. It's time to celebrate the New Year!"
"Yes, that's right! In fact, seeing that my city suddenly has so many troops! And they look well-equipped and well-trained. I'm a little excited!"
"That's right! Stoby has always been bullied by others. How could we have such a large army? From now on, who dares to attack us?"
"Just brag! Macedonia will attack us again. Let's see if you still have the confidence?" someone joked.
"Macedonia, that's a behemoth. Of course, I'm not talking about Macedonia! I'm talking about other city-states! Even Stupala, Little Metali, etc., I guess they may not be a match for me, Stupala!" the man explained.
After hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.
A joyful atmosphere pervades the surroundings; where is the sign of public discontent?
Xia Zhe was very disappointed when he heard this and was about to ask Lillian to leave.
Suddenly, a messenger came hurriedly, came in front of Xia Zhe, and knelt down directly.
"Report to my king, something big has happened! In the southwest, at the boundary river between my city and the former Stupla, the Macedonian heavy infantry corps has been discovered! It is a full legion of 10,000 people! There are at least two of them! General Achilles is commanding the army to meet the enemy!" the messenger said anxiously.
Macedonia really sent troops again!
It’s still that regular, fully staffed army of 10,000 people!
Upon hearing such horrific news, Xia Zhe's face changed drastically.
"Hurry and return to the palace with me and report in detail!"
Not daring to delay, Xia Zhe immediately set off and ran towards the palace with the messenger.
Lillian was also surprised and started to catch up.
Only the citizens of the city were left standing there in shock, dumbfounded.
What?
Lillian’s “house-selecting relative” turns out to be the new king!
yes!
Isn’t Lillian the king’s personal maid?
It is very likely that the king will take her out of the palace to understand the people's sentiments!
How come no one thought of this in the first place?
What was everyone talking about just now?
It seems that someone has complained about Wang’s nonsense!
Not as good as Lao Wang!
This time it’s over! That person is definitely going to be in big trouble!
Also, what happened to the Macedonian army?
Wasn't it just an exercise?
How come Macedonia really took advantage of the New Year to send troops to plunder?
In this case, Wang had actually foreseen this, which is why he organized this large-scale exercise!
The king was not messing around at all!
I just don’t know what the actual combat effectiveness of these newly built troops in our city is?
Can we repel Macedonia's attack this time?
If it remains the same as before, it will collapse at the slightest touch.
I am afraid that the results of everyone’s hard work for more than half a year will be wiped out!
King and all the soldiers, you must win!
One person tells ten people, ten people tell a hundred people.
The news that Macedonia had taken advantage of the New Year to plunder the city quickly spread throughout the city!
Everyone hates Macedonia!
Everyone also secretly admired the king's foresight!
Everyone prayed silently in their hearts, hoping to gain God's favor with their piety.
Let Stoby survive this catastrophe!
In fact, the person who was most shocked was Achilles, the commander-in-chief of the exercise.
Before the team reached the boundary river, the scout in front came on horseback to alert the police!
The size of the Macedonian army was quickly confirmed, and this time it reached a full 20,000 people. Achilles suddenly realized!
