Chapter 889
On this day, the round table meeting will be held as usual, but the participants are no longer as relaxed and leisurely as before, instead they all have solemn expressions, and they know that something big has happened at a glance.
“My king, this is the battle report we just received.”
Bedwell handed the battle report he had just received to Altria with a serious face.
Altria scanned it quickly, and handed the report to Zhou Xiaoning. Zhou Xiaoning did the same. After one glance, he passed it on to the next person.
In this way, one by one, more than ten minutes later, everyone has read the battle report and learned about the massacre that happened at the border.
“It’s finally here.”
Altria sighed secretly. In the original history, she had experienced the same thing, so she didn’t act too shocked.
“Zhuqing, what do you think about this matter.”
Altria said blankly, this could not help making the knights a little bit uncertain, wondering what her Majesty’s opinion on this matter really was.
There was silence for a while, and finally Guy, who had a closer relationship with Altria, took the lead and said: “My king, those invaders are too Damn it, but within three days, they burned and looted six of our villages. , A small town that caused tens of thousands of people’s casualties and robbed a lot of food and property. This is simply a provocation to our Great Britain, so I begged my king to give an order to let me lead the three thousand kingdom army to show the invaders a little bit of color. Look!”
Guy’s words were like opening a head, and after that, the other knights also called for battle. Everyone was filled with righteous indignation, as if the invaders were right in front of their own eyes.
At this time, Altria waved her hand and suppressed the angry voices of the knights. However, she did not immediately express her position. Instead, she turned to look at Zhou Xiaoning and asked: “Xiaoning, what do you think?”
“Hehe, it’s just a group of thugs who can’t see us doing well, wanting to take the fruit from our hands. For this kind of person, I can only do one thing, and that is-kill!”
As soon as the voice fell, a cold killing intent spread throughout the conference hall, causing all the Knights of the Round Table to shiver.
This was the first time that the Knights of the Round Table felt Zhou Xiaoning’s power head-on. You must know that they are all the most outstanding knights. Both their temperament and strength are extraordinary knights. But even so, the moment they felt Zhou Xiaoning’s killing intent, they all had the idea of not daring to be an enemy. This is an incredible thing. I am afraid that no one will believe it. .
Fortunately, Zhou Xiaoning’s killing intent was not released to all the Knights of the Round Table, so besides being taken aback at the beginning, he could resist it next time.
“Your Excellency is right, you must never let those Damn it invaders go!”
Lancelot hammered the table abruptly. Due to the anger in his heart, he didn’t save his hand with this punch. If the quality of the round table that Zhou Xiaoning himself had not built was good enough, he would probably be badly shot by him.
“Yes, Qing Lancelot is right.”
“Beat them!”
“Let them pay for the sins they have committed!”
Lancelot’s words caused a constant response from all the Knights of the Round Table. Thus, the main tone of the meeting was set, that is, sending troops to destroy the invaders. However, how many troops should be dispatched, who should be sent to lead the troops, and how they should be fought are all going further. Discussion.
“How can it be enough to defeat them? Since we are going to fight, we should just do it in one step, so that they never dare to attack Great Britain again!”
When Zhou Xiaoning said this sentence, it was full of confidence.
You know, the current Great Britain is very different from the original one in history. Thanks to the high-quality seeds and agricultural reforms provided by Zhou Xiaoning, now Great Britain no longer has to worry about food. The country’s several large granaries are already full, even if the country no longer produces food, just rely on those few. The granary can supply the entire year’s consumption of Great Britain.
With so much food, Zhou Xiaoning naturally wouldn’t let them just leave them in that way. He only kept the reserves for half a year, and the remaining part was used to trade with neighboring countries, and the other part was used to train soldiers.
For those noble private soldiers with uneven combat strength, Zhou Xiaoning has long been unable to see, so the time has come. He asked Altria to recruit a large number of soldiers in the country. After layers of screening, he finally recruited 10,000. A strong recruit.
After all training, Altria and the Knights of the Round Table can be responsible, without Zhou Xiaoning worrying about it.
However, Zhou Xiaoning did not take time off either, all he had to do was to prepare weapons and equipment for these soldiers.
In terms of refining tools, Zhou Xiaoning has a little obsessive-compulsive disorder, and he wants to be perfect at any time. Because those soldiers are ordinary people, no matter how good things are in their hands, they can’t exert their due power. Therefore, when Zhou Xiaoning refined this batch of weapons and equipment, he used ordinary iron ore as the main material, with a small amount of low Grade materials, thus refining 10,000 sets of full-body armor, and several other Western-style spears, swords, bows and arrows.
By the way, the iron ore used in the refining was digged by Zhou Xiaoning himself. Otherwise, with the mining capacity of Great Britain, it would be impossible to gather so much iron ore in every two or three years. Transportation costs, the ups and downs, are also a huge expense for Great Britain.
Sophisticated equipment, perfect logistical supplies, and high-intensity military training. Under such circumstances, if an elite force cannot be trained in two years, then people like Zhou Xiaoning would just wipe their necks and kill themselves. Raise that person.
According to the battle report from the front, the number of invaders this time is not too large, only about 5,000, and after they invaded the territory of Great Britain, they scattered and plundered. This is why so many places suffered, but Zhou Xiaoning and the others did not The reason for receiving the message now.
In this way, the other party’s intentions are very obvious. This attack is just a test. If Great Britain can’t stop an attack of this level, it means that this wealthy country has no threat, and the next enemy will be. Invaded and completely occupied Great Britain.
And if it encounters stubborn resistance, the enemy can roughly estimate the strength of Britain’s military, so that it will be easier to arrange the next combat deployment.
So, in any case, a big battle is inevitable.
If you want to fight, then have a good time. You must know that the army they have spent two years training is not a shrimp soldier, and it’s time to pull it out for a while!
