News of the unrest on the border soon reached the imperial city of Jagong...
Even the Sun King and his ministers could not have imagined that there would be people in those desert countries who dared to declare war on them. Is this a joke?
But since it has already happened, we have to be vigilant.
Now, as the strongest prince and the only one who has been on the battlefield and has military merit bonus, Sean has naturally become the focus of this discussion... Almost all the marshals and generals of Jagun are present.
"High King, the kingdoms of Kharistan and Horton have clearly been planning a rebellion. We must punish them severely and send our troops directly into their capitals... Let them know who is the true master of the desert."
The discussion among powerful countries was much more violent than the one Sean attended in the strategic meeting of the Bashalan Empire.
Almost all officials demanded severe punishment for the two kingdoms.
In front of him were all the troops representing Jagun, including the Royal Guards, the National Imperial Army, and the representatives of the nobility.
At this time, everyone thought that they could easily gain military merits by sneaking into the army and participating in the war. After all, Jagong's military strength was far superior to that of the two countries, and these people were simply fighting with an egg against a rock.
However, what really calmed everyone down were the ministers in the imperial court who proposed various radical policies.
"Everyone wait a moment, don't you think this happened too suddenly? Even if the desert countries unite together, they are no match for us. Why would they attack us at this time? It's simply courting their own destruction." Lubin looked at the giant map placed in the center of the hall.
No matter who sees it, it's totally hilarious.
The gap is too big!
Jagun is like a glimpse of a city wall in the desert, which almost includes all the desert countries. Other countries dare not take action. Are the two slightly stronger kingdoms going to choose self-destruction?
"Lord Lubin is being too cautious. Perhaps they've discovered we're going to monitor the desert nations and are afraid their actions will be exposed, so they're taking such a risky approach... a desperate struggle!"
Many people still remember the topics raised in the hall before.
Just a few days ago, the Sun King handed over the temporary command of the entire country's army to Prince Sean and asked him to be responsible for assigning people to conduct secret investigations in each country. Since the ghost incident came from the east and was confirmed to be false news, it means that someone in the eastern desert kingdom deliberately said so.
It would be fine if it hadn't happened to Jagong, but now it has threatened Jagong's safety and almost put the princess in life and death crisis, so we must take action!
This information might be leaked, or they might sense this possibility in advance and attack first with a desperate move.
"But even if we find out they were responsible, the most we can do is apologize or send our heirs as hostages. Starting a war is more than just a war; it's clearly a danger of national destruction."
This is what Lubin doesn't understand.
Even if the desert kingdoms of Khalistan and Horton really did something wrong, they could still make up for it in other ways, but if they started a war, the rule of this country might be over.
No one present thought that their country would lose. There was no need to even write the word "lose". With a military force dozens of times larger than theirs and powerful combat capabilities, they could almost crush the two countries. They would be crazy to do this.
"Lord Lubin is so cautious! This is someone bullying us, so of course we have to fight back, and we have to fight back thoroughly. Otherwise, the desert countries will cause trouble every few years, and we will be overwhelmed."
Now that everyone feels they can immediately seize the battle merit, of course they will not choose to retreat...
I think all the nobles and generals now want to directly join the war, attack the other country's capital and capture their king alive.
Even at the prince's table, Mu Dan was very active...
He hasn't given up yet, or perhaps this sudden war has given him a chance to fight back. Before, he had no way to compete with Sean in fame and popularity, but if he also led a team to conquer a country, it would definitely reverse the current situation.
No matter how bad the situation is, I am not completely hopeless.
So I really want to get a chance to go on an expedition...
Jagong is a country where the royal family is respected. Whenever a crisis occurs, the prince personally going into battle is considered the most capable performance, so he also hopes to win a victory on the battlefield.
Turning to look at Sean, Sean was not so active at this time.
………………
Sean calmly observed the people in the hall, making sure that there was no one with a low favorability level and that there was no traitor.
But if there is no traitor, this matter does not make sense!
Are these two countries really crazy?
It just occurred to me that the immortals and Cthulhu servants might be in the eastern kingdoms, perhaps the two kingdoms of Kalistan and Horton. But if we are waiting to awaken the ancient gods, why start such a meaningless battle?
Is it some kind of necessity, or is it really just a whim of those in power?
It shouldn't be.
Looking at the map, the terrain projections of the places I have been to are displayed, but the war front I have never been to is shrouded in shadow.
One came from the east, and the other came from the southeast by the sea...
Judging from the report, the border garrisons were caught off guard. However, with Jagun's strong national defense and the quick response of the border lords, the enemy's attack did not seem as powerful as they had imagined.
It seems a little weaker, especially the Kingdom of Horton, which is the relatively weaker of the two countries.
But the more this happened, the more unbelievable it seemed to Sean. It was even more risky than gambling!
This is not a comparison between countries of the same magnitude at all.
"Sean," the Sun King called out, "what do you think?"
Everyone in the hall fell silent.
In the two or three years since the eldest prince returned, many people have realized that the only son of the previous queen may be the one with the most ability and power to ascend the throne.
Whether it is decision-making or the strength in hand, he is second to none!
All eyes were on Sean, as if waiting for a king's order...
Come back to your senses from thinking.
Sean walked down the steps and directly onto the map.
"Since others have already attacked us, we must of course fight back, but the fight back needs to be distributed."
At first, it pointed to the east, which was the location of the Horton Kingdom's attack this time.
"Although our eastern region has the most cities, this oasis is also the largest. Not only can we prevent them from breaking in, we must even send troops to counterattack them from the front and flanks... We can't just limit ourselves to defending the cities, otherwise it will be endless. We must capture the king first. Let's kill their king directly."
Sean put forward an idea that everyone thought was very bold.
