Chapter 366: A secret talk in the palace, the king fully supports this war.

The appearance of Blainey made the king feel relieved. He was very excited when he heard that people from the Magic Island were sent to solve the troubles in Ankola City.

The heavy stone in the king's heart seemed to have fallen halfway, and a long-lost light of hope flashed in his eyes.

If the military goal is achieved, the pressure on the empire will be greatly reduced, which can be seen as a watershed in the reversal of the situation. This critical node is of great significance, as it not only affects the outcome of the current war, but also affects the future direction and fate of the empire.

The cause was that Sheldon Castle used magic traps to repel the church's armed forces from the Quick Province, and they sent 400 elite hunters to follow them all the way, ready to hunt them down when the church's army ran out of food and grass and became hungry...

As for the city of Ankola, it was nothing more than blocking the way of 100,000 church armed forces. The victory of Sheldon Castle this time was like a ray of light in the darkness, giving people the confidence and courage to fight against the church armed forces.

"My dear, if this is accomplished, the kingdom will surely turn defeat into victory. You are really ambitious to defeat these church armed forces. This battle is extremely difficult as we are short of troops." The king frowned, his words revealing both a desire for victory and deep worry.

After all, the huge gap in the enemy's and our own military strength is right in front of us, and this is a contest of extremely unequal strength.

"Don't worry, my king. If the city of Ankola is well controlled, they will not be able to get supplies and will be starving. They will have no strength to fight and will be trapped in a dead end..." Blainey's answer was firm and confident, as if everything was under her control.

Whether the king believes it or not, as long as there are people fighting, it is something worth encouraging. It doesn’t matter whether they succeed or not. What if they succeed?

A bright future appeared like the dawn of hope... The king knew that in this difficult time, every effort and struggle was precious, and even if there was only a glimmer of hope, it was worth fighting and waiting.

"Okay, my dear minister, if you mediate this matter, I will definitely reward you handsomely. Tell me? How many magic coins do you need? We can't let the masters of the Magic Island work in vain. There will be a handsome reward regardless of whether you win or lose this battle, because the task is too difficult. The two families have less than a thousand soldiers against one hundred thousand. It's incredible!" The king's tone was generous. He understood that to mobilize such a powerful force, there must be a corresponding price to pay.

"Your Majesty, we still have to give each person 500,000 magic coins. My reward doesn't matter. We'll talk about it when the country gets better in the future."

Blainey's answer showed both respect for the value of magicians and her confidence in the future of her country.

The king thought about it and agreed. If the people of the Magic Island didn't have Miss Blainey's face, they would never get involved in worldly disputes. This was a good start and money was not a problem.

The king knew that this cooperation was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and as long as it could be successful, the money spent would be worth it.

If we take over Ankola City, the money confiscated from these shitty nobles will not be small. The magicians will not want these worldly wealth, and will eventually leave them to the city for military preparation. In this way, like Phoenix City, it will become a royal controlled city, which will naturally be more conducive to raising food and wages...

The king's control over the city of Ankola means that he can integrate resources, promote the development of commerce and agriculture, and provide a stable source of fiscal revenue for the country. Previously, the territories that were granted out could not be taken back without sufficient reasons.

If the problems of church armed forces and nobles were successfully resolved and the fiefdoms were recovered, internal hidden dangers could be eliminated, the people's trust and support for the country could be restored, and it would be beneficial to the reconstruction and consolidation of social order.

Controlling the city of Ankola will change the military structure of the entire region and enhance the country's defense capabilities and strategic depth. This seemingly difficult battle contains countless opportunities and possibilities.

So the king wanted to win the war for Ankola more than anyone else.

The king smiled and said, "There is a master in Sheldon Castle. I want to know which general made the decision. Such a perfect military strategy is a good general for the country. After we win the battle, I really want to meet the person who gave us the advice."

Although Blainey had a prejudice against this seductive witch, she was the one who made the decision in this battle. Blainey brought the magician here just to get some benefits, and she took advantage of Tan Aili's decision, which should not be erased.

After this battle, the king will give merit points, and their mercenary team will definitely be upgraded to increase the upper limit of the number of members it can accommodate.

"Your Majesty, this is exactly what the master of Sheldon Castle planned. Four hundred people chased the main force from a distance, and she led thousands of logistics troops to ensure the logistics supply of the elite hunters. The front-line troops had an average of 100 kilograms of supplies per person to cross mountains and ridges, and they could not carry much. The heavy arrows of senior professionals weighed several kilograms each, so they had to carry more than 100 kilograms of items on the march. The supplies consumed along the way were huge, and the mounts ate fresh beef and mutton. It all depended on the logistics support troops at the back to transport them..."

"It sounds like it will be a very tough battle. I think so! This battle will not be easy. If Madam Tan Aili wins, I will reward her with a title. This plan is feasible! Now it seems that the magicians need to work harder..."

"May I ask, Your Majesty, how can we help?" Blainey asked with a puzzled look on her face. Her beautiful eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and her eyes revealed her worry about the situation and her eagerness to know the solution.

The king was in high spirits at the moment. He put his hands on his hips, raised his head and laughed: "Hahahahaha! This is the battle to turn the tide! My dear, I order you to lead my 500 royal guards to Ankola City. This is the only force I can give you now, but they are all the most powerful warriors in my empire. After arriving in Ankola City, leave 200 people to guard the city, and the rest will go with you over the mountains and ridges to snipe the hateful church armed forces!"

Hearing this, Blainey's face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible! If your guards are withdrawn, what if a thief takes the opportunity to assassinate you? This is really unacceptable..."

The king shook his head and said frankly, "There are not many soldiers left in the palace now. We can only rely on the court magicians. However, in order to achieve the final victory of this battle, we must take this risk. I am willing to be stabbed. I will leave these 500 guards to you, Miss Blaney, to control and deploy!"

After saying this, the king looked at Blainey firmly, as if to tell her that he had no intention of wavering in this decision.

The king added: "The Imperial Guards fought very well, and a new generation of generals have emerged, so we have fully controlled the plains around the capital, and guarded the three passes to ensure that nothing can go wrong. We are maintaining order now, and cannot fight out for the time being. We must first stabilize the capital's territory within a radius of 600 miles. After a period of stability, the Imperial Guards can send troops to quell the rebellion. So the situation is much better than before when there were rebellions everywhere in the capital. It has been difficult along the way..."

"My king is doing a good job of taking steady steps. It seems that the situation in Pumasai is getting better and better!"

At this time, the palace maid entered the palace and reported: "Your Majesty, you may take your seat now."

The king waved his hand and said, "My dear minister, please have your meal with me first."

The two walked out of the study slowly and headed towards the inner courtyard restaurant side by side. Along the way, they talked and laughed, and the atmosphere was relaxed and harmonious.

When the king and Miss Blyney entered the restaurant, a sumptuous dinner was already on the table. They sat opposite each other and began to enjoy the delicious food while continuing the unfinished topic.
