Chapter 606: The King is Seriously Ill, the Crown Prince is Regent, and the Situation in Southern Xi

Chapter 606: The King is Seriously Ill, the Crown Prince is Regent, and the Situation in Southern Xi

At this moment, the prince stood there with a pale face, his heart full of self-blame and helplessness.

He felt deeply that he was so incompetent at this critical moment and had no ability to handle state affairs as calmly and easily as his father.

Faced with the complicated situation, he was at a loss and felt a strong sense of guilt.

Just when everyone was in a panic, the experienced and calm consultant Bayan stepped forward and quickly took control of the situation.

Seeing this scene, the prince secretly made up his mind to study military knowledge well, improve his abilities, and never let such a situation happen again.

The queen quickly walked up to Advisor Bayan and asked:

"Thank you, Advisor Bayan, for taking control of the situation. I am extremely worried today. I wonder how His Majesty is doing now?"

Advisor Bayan bowed slightly in return and consoled her, "Your Majesty, please do not worry too much. The magicians are doing their best to treat Your Majesty. You must not disturb them at this moment, so as not to affect the treatment process.

Please be patient, Your Majesty. I believe that Your Majesty will be safe. Your Majesty has just fallen ill due to overwork and impatience in recent days, but with a little care, he will recover soon.

Although the war situation is critical at the moment, we still have two solid lines of defense, so there won’t be any major problems for the time being.

However, since our army has no mountain divisions available for deployment, we can only wait and see what happens. We must not panic and make meaningless moves that would only cause unnecessary trouble to the soldiers on the front line. "

Hearing this, the queen breathed a sigh of relief, but her face was still full of worry. She asked softly, "I know nothing about military affairs. Please tell me the truth, can we win this war in southern Xinjiang?"

Advisor Bayan said solemnly: "Our country is vast and cannot be easily shaken by the small Maya Alliance! As long as we can tenaciously resist this wave of powerful offensive from the enemy, the Maya Alliance will inevitably fall into despair due to the exhaustion of national strength, and then it will be the moment of its demise..."

These words were like a reassurance, making the worried queen feel much more at ease.

According to her understanding of the strength of the surrounding countries, the facts are indeed as Bayan consultant said. However, in the past few hundred years, Pumasai has been in a dilemma of internal and external troubles, and has no time to consider external expansion.

However, although the country was torn apart by the church turmoil, the economy of those areas where land reform had been implemented was gradually recovering, the area of ​​fertile farmland was increasing, and tax payment became smooth and unimpeded.

Coupled with the profits brought by the raids on some illegal and powerful families and the implementation of the new tax law, the fiscal revenue of the areas surrounding the capital actually increased slightly compared to before the church turmoil.

As long as they can grit their teeth and get through this difficult period, then when facing other countries, Pumasai will definitely have an absolute advantage and chance of winning.

Advisor Bayan: "Your Majesty, I will go to the main hall and take a nap. The Crown Prince will preside over the court meetings. I will listen to the ministers' opinions on the war situation in Southern Xinjiang. A military meeting will be organized tomorrow, and the generals of the three camps will be invited to discuss the matter. I believe there will always be a suitable plan to support the front line."

The queen nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work, advisor. You have gone to the main hall to wait for the court meeting. You are truly loyal to your country. I feel more at ease with you around."

Advisor Bayan went to the main hall to meditate until dawn, and presided over the court meeting with the crown prince. This was also a hardship for the kingdom to face in the military crisis...

On the other hand, Tan Aili's Second Army was at the gate of the city. Han Boling warmly welcomed them and "supported" the land reform, which allowed him to retain his viscount status. So the army rested for a few days in their territory.

However, the court magician used the teleportation array to Phoenix County, and drove the magic beast Elk for 90 miles, and finally found the important place of Tan Aili's camp...

It is now dawn in the east and cocks are crowing...

Tan Aili was in a deep sleep when she was suddenly awakened by the guards. She rubbed her sleepy eyes, her hair was a little messy, and her clothes were not tidied, and she hurried to the general's tent to meet the court magician.

This so-called general's tent is actually just a tent that is slightly larger than an ordinary tent, and it simply contains some equipment and maps used for marching and fighting.

"Marshal, urgent military information, Advisor Bayan hopes you can provide valuable advice."

There was a hint of nervousness in the guard's voice. The military situation was urgent and could not afford any delay.

When Tan Aili heard this, she instantly became much more sober. She knew that anything that could be called an emergency military intelligence must be something of great importance.

When Tan Aili saw the magician rushing over at night, she knew the situation was serious from his slightly tired and hurried look.

She didn't exchange pleasantries, but sat down to read the documents. In this military camp without a map of southern Xinjiang, Tan Aili lacked an intuitive concept of the local area.

She could only guess the enemy's military strength from the words between the lines of the military intelligence document. The more she read, the more she felt that the enemy's military strength was stronger than she had imagined.

Later, when she saw the handwritten letter from Advisor Bayan, she immediately understood that it was the church’s armed forces that had joined the war.

The church armed forces are a special religious force in this world. They often have unique fighting methods and powerful combat effectiveness, so Tan Aili is well aware of this.

So she didn't focus on the long text descriptions of the collapse of the defense line, because without any concept of the region, these descriptions were like a mess to her and she had no clue.

However, she still had some understanding of the characteristics of the church's armed forces. After all, in previous military research and past battle experiences, some of the church's armed forces' combat styles and tactics had been recorded.

So, after learning that it was the church’s armed forces that joined the war, her first reaction was to have an idea.

She stood up and walked to the Fenghuang County situation map. She looked at it again and thought silently in her mind.

She thought to herself:

Now 65% of the area has regained control, which is a very good result. The remaining forces do not dare to compete with it easily in the face of the current situation.

In this case, it would be better to let the generals play freely. They have accumulated enough experience in previous battles and should be able to cope with the current situation.

The next combat mission can be carried out by the general's copywriter, who will command the army to continue fighting and finally meet up in Shadowmoon City.

After thinking for a moment, Tan Aili smiled confidently and said:

"Mr. Court Magician, the situation is urgent. I do have a plan. I hope the palace can borrow 3,000 alchemical recurve bows from the Kangsen family, and let the magic academy focus on producing arrowheads and such alchemical recurve bows. Then the court can gather 3,000 imperial guards archery hunters as soon as possible..."

Tan Aili's plan was well thought out. The alchemical recurve bow was a very sophisticated weapon, and its range and power were much stronger than ordinary crossbows.

If there were three thousand such bows, plus the arrowheads produced by the School of Magic with all its strength, then the three thousand Forbidden Army Sharpshooter Hunters assembled would become an extremely deterrent force.

Seeing that the magician was listening quietly without commenting, Blayney continued:

"I will make preparations and lead these three thousand sharpshooter hunters to the front line to cause trouble for the enemy as soon as possible.

Let the three armies here fight slowly, it will definitely not delay things..."

There was determination and courage in Tan Aili's eyes. She believed that her plan could have a positive impact on the current battle situation.

After hearing Tan Aili's plan, the court magician replied:

"Okay, I am only responsible for delivering the letter and I don't know the consequences of this action. Please submit a report to the court and let the ministers decide on this plan..."

The court magician knew his duty very well. He was just a messenger who delivered information. He could not express his opinion casually on such a major military decision...
