"Your Majesty, Madam Aisona's army has already been dispatched! They have reached the vicinity of Riberet and are still going west!"

The scout broke into the castle and reported a disastrous news to his king and lords with a panicked expression.

"What did you say!?"

At this time, King Harauwu was worrying about his hair that had been falling out these days. He originally wanted to thank the guests behind closed doors and take a rest for himself, but obviously this news was more important than his hairline.

"Master Grain Ward, please come here immediately!"

The news spread so fast that His Majesty the King, who was frightened by the news, completely forgot about the secrecy, and there were many servants around him at that time. The servants that the lords bribed to keep the news were as rare as legendary creatures such as giant dragons. In addition, they themselves had intersected with a lot of people in the city, such as tavern owners, nobles, and merchants. When he came to Raven's castle, he was greatly disappointed by what he saw.

There was chaos in the palace, servants and attendants were running around, whispering to each other, everyone had an uneasy expression on their faces, but everyone knew what they should do!

In the streets and alleys, pedestrians pass news to each other, following the general rules, men always know before women, but women always pass the news faster than men, so Earl Glenward saw all the news in the city People are talking about it, and it's constantly being exaggerated in people's embellished descriptions.

When his servants went to inquire, the news in the vicinity of the castle was relatively close to reality, saying that Lady Aesona had hired an army from Nord and Vaegia to attack Riberet. But in the downtown area, Mrs. Aisona and Nord sent 10,000 troops to capture the entire Riberite. And after arriving in the residential area, the news was even more exaggerated to Queen Aesona and Vaegia? Nord and Kujit attack Swadia together, and the army will arrive at Palaven in two days.

For a while, people in Palavin were panicked, especially in the residential areas, which can be described as chaos.

"Your Majesty, I wish you to know that on the way I came to your court, the price of food in the market has risen by half, and bread, cured meat, smoked fish, and all shelf-stable foodstuffs have been swept away. The thieves in the market have been I don't bother to cover up my behavior, because the guards are also standing still thinking about their future. There is an old man who looks like a priest standing on a wine barrel in a residential area to preach the legitimacy of Lady Aisona's throne, and put everyone All the difficulties of life are pushed on you, and even your soldiers are in the audience!"

The Earl of Glenward is a special old-fashioned aristocrat. He is friendly, kind and very upright. He is polite on all occasions. His old-fashioned northern accent and clichés can make people sleepy. Even if he loses a battle and is taken prisoner, he congratulates the opponent politely and seeks kindness for his warriors. His words may be boring, but they are indeed the teaching materials assigned by their parents for many young nobles.

But today, in front of his king, he used some vulgar and semi-reproaching speeches in front of his servants, which shows how much anger he has reached.

"I panicked at the time, and I forgot about it. But it doesn't matter, Mr. Grainward, I will immediately order the prohibition of these ridiculous rumors, and make those who spread the rumors pay the price." Facing this veteran The elder lord, Harauu has no temper at all. He respected this veteran lord, and he knew that the land being invaded by Mrs. Aisona was his fief, and he had to listen to what he said.

net

But he also knew that the impact of his negligence was really terrible, and even his courtiers couldn't hide the worry on their faces when they reported to him.

"In addition, I will order the collection of conscripts in the whole area of ​​​​Paraven, so that all men who can bear arms will rise up and fight. If I remember correctly, my father told me that Palaven is a Swadian population. The largest and most concentrated area, if we are willing, we can call up an army of no less than 10,000 people. In addition to the army of the lords, and the standing army of Palavin, I believe that even if the old woman gets the Nord barbarian and Vikia Mang Husband's support can't win us over!"

King Harauu quickly thought about how to deal with the current situation in his head, and finally came up with such a simple and easy-to-use "good idea".

"No, Your Majesty, it's too late to stop it now. This will only cause more serious panic. People will think that we have really lost. It is not a good way to recruit soldiers. Now that the rumors have not dissipated, recruiting citizens now will scare them. , let them believe that Mrs. Aisona is better than us. And the harvest is coming soon. Farmers leave the fields to fight at this time, which is not of great benefit to the war. On the contrary, it will become a drag on our supplies, and it will make us All the surrounding farming villages are going through an uncomfortable winter." Earl Glenward shook his head, then squeezed his beard, and said the solution he came up with on the road:

"Your Majesty, my suggestion is that you should not take the initiative to stop the spread of rumors, but let people spread the words that are beneficial to us. This is not difficult to do. Your father left hundreds of Spy to you. Also, don't rush to recruit troops, what you need to do now is to bring our best troops into the city, let them put on the best and brightest armor, take polished weapons, and make them fully armed Most of the people walk on the outside, and some of them go inside, walking back and forth on the streets, and finally gather in front of the castle, so that the whole city can see the strength of your army. After that, you can review the troops, make speeches, and denounce Ai Sona's claims and the "rumors" she deliberately spread tell everyone that the false king is now delayed by the army of Fort Riberate, and will not be able to win for a long time, and you have to lead the most powerful army in Calradia to launch a Great attack, to destroy them, and give the soldiers the most generous rewards, dinars, land, and even knight titles. If nothing else, the rumors will naturally dissipate, and you will be happy to find that many citizens will Take the initiative to pick up the weapons and armor at home to follow you, UU reading www.uukanshu.com to get your rewards and opportunities to stand out."

"Ah, Lord Grainward, what an excellent advice! Sure enough, my father is right, you will be one of my biggest helpers. I decided to adopt all your suggestions, and I promise to help you as soon as possible after the meeting. You regained the lost land and provided compensation. Do you have anything else to say?" King Harauu was very happy. Before this, he never thought that there were so many tricks in governing the country and dealing with war issues.

"The rest is beyond my decision. I can give you advice, but in war, Earl Harlengos is an expert. He commands the battle and we have the best chance of winning. Other than that...I'm afraid We need the support of Earl Crags and Earl Byron, their army is crucial to us today." Earl Glenward sighed and shook his head slightly.

"yes."

Hearing this, His Majesty the King lowered his head again.

"No matter how good the performance is, it can't hide the truth. We will have to call up the militia sooner or later, and we are not sure of victory. Who knows how many troops that old woman got from foreigners? I hope Byron and the others rush in..."
