Chapter 219: In the face of justice, descendants take the stage!

Chapter 219: In the face of justice, descendants take the stage!
Isaac City, the Royal Palace.

The civil and military officials gathered together and engaged in a fierce dispute.

The focus of the dispute was the issue of withdrawing troops from Poincare.

Minister of State Harper urged:

"Your Majesty, please make a decision soon!

The Pompeii Kingdom has already sent out its troops. Within two months, the war in the west will inevitably deteriorate.

There are no soldiers available in the country at present. The only way to reverse the situation is to withdraw Poincare's elite troops."

"No! We must not withdraw our troops!
Poincare is Dante's national foundation. If we abandon it, we will abandon a world rich in resources!

At that time, Dante will immediately become a second-rate country. How can we do such a thing that is like drinking poison to quench thirst! "

Minister of War Lund retorted sharply.

"I agree with the Secretary of State for War.

The Gate of the World was snatched from Heinxi by the former emperor and Lord Curtis, and it is Dante's supreme honor.

If we give up, we will all be sinners!"

Another minister said.

Harper pointed at the Minister of War and said bitterly:

"Is that what I want?
But we have to survive!"

“The Duke of Winniston is fighting against the Saint Alliance with Lennon, and her territory is empty.

The Kingdom of Pompeii has lived in the snowy area for a long time and has always had a strong military force. Who can resist it?

You!? "

"Why not!
I am willing to gather all the male members of my family and rush to the northwest to meet the Pompeii man.

Even if his body and head are cut off, it does not weaken Dante's manliness!
Who wants to go with me?"

The Minister of War stiffened his neck and shouted.

"I'm with you!"

A military official stepped forward.

"Although Lord Curtis has passed away, Your Majesty is still here, and I am still here. Even if my blood is splattered on the sand, I will never bring shame to our ancestors."

"My nephews and I at home are waiting for your orders, sir!" Another person stood up.

"My descendants were wiped out during the founding war. I have nothing to worry about now. I would like to follow you and meet Pompey and his ilk again."

The person who spoke this time was actually a civil official.

"Okay! Now that you're all gone, what do we do here?"

The old Marshal Gay-Lussac said angrily:

“I don’t agree with the proposal to abandon Poincare!

Prince Salon's army has spread across the entire Poincare land and is hunting down the alien races there. It is impossible to gather them together in a short period of time.

Even if he could do it, given the poor condition of the World Gate, these troops would not be able to return safely.

Even by the most conservative estimates, one-third of the soldiers would die from unstable space transmission.

Not to mention the threat of the star tide."

“Also, have you considered that even if we withdraw from Poincare, the situation can be stabilized?
Once the world jump is completed, countless alien races will surely pour out from the world gate.

Then the flames of war will burn in Dante's land, which will be a greater disaster."

The old marshal's words silenced everyone.

Seeing that no one spoke, Gay-Lussac waved his fist and said forcefully:
"On the contrary! If the prince stays there, he can defeat the aliens or kill them to the greatest extent possible.

Then even if there is a Poincare jump, we may not be at a big disadvantage.

Have you ever considered that by then we will have a glorious world as rich as Qinglan? "

Everyone was moved.

A glorious prologue, its significance is so great that it is simply unimaginable.

Even those who opposed it could not help but waver at this point.

After a long while, the old Harber said bitterly: "But we still have to survive first."

Sighs were heard in the court.

“If possible, I am willing to discard this set of court clothes, put on golden swords and armor, and ride my horse to the northwest.

Even if this great head is taken, it will not be in vain for the grace of Dante and His Majesty."

Harber pointed to his neck sadly and said:
“But we really have no more soldiers available.

Not long ago, each family even sent out their private armies.

Pompey dared to take advantage of this opportunity because he saw this point. Dante is about to collapse, please make a decision as soon as possible, Your Majesty! "

The atmosphere in the court was as cold as an ice cellar.

Titus's face was as gloomy as water, and he remained silent for a long time, as if he was making a difficult decision.

Prime Minister Meyer looked at His Majesty and then at the ministers.

"It seems that I have to be a bad guy for once."

He sighed slightly in his heart, and then signaled to the people behind him to push him out of the line.

At this moment, a man came out before him and shouted to Titus:
"Your Majesty, Dante is not completely powerless to fight!

But...it depends on the determination of you adults."

This man had a handsome face, an extraordinary appearance, and spoke with eloquence. He was the one who pushed the chair for Mayer.

"Loran, step back!" Meyer shouted.

He already knew what his student was going to say.

No matter what, he couldn't let Roland get involved in this dirty water.

Roland shook his head slightly at Meyer and continued:
“I know that what I am going to say next will make you all furious.

Moreover, all the lords outside the court would find it difficult to tolerate me.

But the state is in danger, and Luo Lan has no choice but to offer this advice. Please forgive me."

After bowing, he continued:

“At present, the nobles have sent out most of their private armies, but there are still some nephews and nephews in the clan.

They are both brave and resourceful and can continue to serve their country."

"Loran, do you know what you are saying?" Andre's face changed suddenly.

"Lord Loran! What do you mean by this?" Harber asked with a trembling voice, suppressing his anger.

“I am well aware that the previous conscription has already caused great damage to the vitality of each family, but now that Yuan Country is on the brink of life and death, we have no choice.

If the northwest collapses, the consequences will be disastrous. How can each family survive then?"

Loran said this with great sincerity.

"Therefore, I hereby ask you all to understand the greater good. Once the crisis is resolved, I am willing to be punished."

"Haha, you are willing to be punished? How can I let you do that when the time comes?"

The Finance Minister said angrily:

“Do you know what the lords outside will think once this proposal is passed?
They will think that you, Vice Prime Minister Loran, are severing their bloodline!
Who can spare you?"

"I know this move will hurt people's feelings. I am willing to join as a member and go to the northwest with the sons and nephews of the other families."

After hearing this, the ministers' anger finally subsided a little, but a few still sneered disdainfully. One of them said:

“Even so, those lords will not be able to let it go.

Moreover, Pompey's army is strong, how can the sons of the lords and some private soldiers fight against him?"

"We don't need to confront Pompey's army head-on. We just need to use the deep terrain to maneuver and hold them back for a month or two until the Starry Plan is realized."

"Delay it for a month or two? I'm afraid it's just your imagination!"

A minister sneered:
"Dante is not only short of men, but also of money, food, and supplies. He is running out of money, food, and supplies.
Just relying on a bunch of noble nephews and nieces to stop Pompey? It's ridiculous."

"Lord Luo Meng, this is wrong.

The descendants of each family are all brave and wise, what they lack is experience on the battlefield.

In my opinion, they only need a few bloody battles to stand on their own.

But many of them may never come back.

I am willing to lead them and minimize casualties as much as possible."

The scene was silent for a moment.

Finally, Delon spoke in a deep voice: “Most of the men in Isaac City have been recruited, and the rest are mostly women and children.

Now it seems that this is the only solution.

I am willing to send all my sons and nephews to fight."

"So be it."

Chancellor Meyer nodded.

“If Dante falls, no one in the family will be spared.
