Novel Bin Chapter 654 - Absurdity
Jin Rou had expected this, so he wasn\'t surprised. The Imperial Treasury would be drained that much so he needed to make sure that they\'d attain victory. There was no room for defeat here and Jin Rou would make sure of that.
"Alright, I understand." Jin Rou nodded in response to Micharls\' words, "We will still proceed with this. Roseville Family, I want you to set up the strongest slaying formation and spy formation. I want all the best and be done under three days, there is no room for negotiation."
The duchess wanted to say something but she refrained from doing so. She knew that it wouldn\'t change the master\'s mind right now, "We will do as you command, Your Majesty."
"Now, since the matter is settled. Who is the family in charge for military in the empire?" Jin Rou asked.
It was an expected question and handsome man stood up. He was clad in black and gold armor as he stood proudly, "Your Majesty, I am General Landor of Reiss Family. I am the representative of the family, who is specialized in military prowess."
Jin Rou smiled and remembered something. He met a funny lad back there in Destiny store and he was from the Reiss Family, "How is your Young Master Andrei doing as of now?"
The general was flabbergasted with the question. He didn\'t expect this kind and said, "Pardon me, Your Majesty. Are you acquaintance with the Young Master?"
"No." Jin Rou shook his head while smiling, "We just had a small smirkish recently and he was quite funny. However, fret not. There is nothing going on bad between us."
The general sighed in relief. If that was the case, then he had nothing to worry about. But it didn\'t mean that he wouldn\'t pursue this matter to his son. That\'s right, Andrei Reiss was Landor Reiss\' one and only son. The true inheritor of the Reiss Family and its legacy.
After that, Jin Rou asked the general, "General Landor, how many soldiers can you dispatch in an unnoticed manner?"
General Landor didn\'t know why His Majesty was asking this but he still answered, "Depending on the severity of the problem, Your Majesty. If you\'re pertaining in this kind of severity that we are currently facing, then I guess I can take 500,000 soldiers and another 500,000 archers with me to the frontline. If we are prepared, then I can estimate that I can take a million soldiers and archers at the same time with me."
"Such efficiency. No wonder the Reiss Family is specialized in military." Jin Rou smiled. He had to admit it that the Reiss was a superior existence when it comes to military prowess. Just think about it, the general could half a million soldiers and archers with him to the battle and that was unprecedented, meaning they weren\'t prepared!
"Thank you for the praise, Your Majesty. However, we don\'t deserve such. We are only doing what we must." General Landor was still humble as ever.
"You deserve it, of course. Now then, I want you to prepare for the incoming attack of the three empires. Dispatch as much as many as you can and station everyone in entire and neighboring cities of the capital." Jin Rou paused for a moment, "After that, evacuate the citizens to the capital and if the capital is full, bring them into the neighboring cities. Remember, each much be guarded as heavy as the other."
"Your Majesty, what is this? Aren\'t we supposed to be in the battlefield?" General Landor didn\'t understand what Jin Rou planned to do. If all of their manpower were focused in evacuating the people, wouldn\'t it be as good as admitting their defeat? Of course, the general understood that the citizens of the empire must be evacuated but who would protect and guard the empire if all of them were focused on the safety of the citizens?
"No, I just want you all to be there for the citizens. I want everyone to be safe, and that includes all the noble families, ordinary families, and even the homeless." Jin Rou smiled, "And as for who will be there in the battlefield, who will it be aside from me?"
Everyone was speechless when they heard this.
"Your Majesty, do you mean you want to take on three empires alone?" General Landor was shaken and in disbelief.
"Precisely that\'s the case." Jin Rou nodded.
"I don\'t mean to underestimate Your Majesty but the three empires are very powerful. With their resources and Universal Laws coming, it\'s impossible to defend the entire empire alone." General Landor had a gist of the other empire\'s power. He also knew a bit about the conspiracy of the other laws to kill their Universal Law.
"I understand your concern but this is the best way to deal with this." Jin Rou smiled, "As you know, three Universal Laws are coming to attack our empire. You can send millions or billions of soldiers to the frontline but they will just be mere casualties in vain. Laws were very powerful because we are standing at the peak of this world. Do you really think it will help me and the empire if I send you all to death? I am a Universal Law so I have at least have a chance in defeating them."
Albeit a very low chance, if Jin Rou didn\'t do something about it.
Jin Rou was right. They would just send themselves to death if they try to be in the frontlines.
"But Your Majesty..." General Landor could feel a lump in his throat. He was very amazed by the collectness and calm demeanor of this lad. His Majesty had already planned everything and it would just be laid out and carried on.
"There is no but here, General Landor. An order is an order so you cannot do something about it." Jin Rou spoke. He knew too that this was an absurd thing to do but this was the only choice he had. Of course, he wouldn\'t be willing to die here so he would everything to do something.
" As you command, Your Majesty.." General Landor sighed in resignation.
