572: C572 War Decision

C572 War Decision

Seeing that the king was getting impatient, everyone immediately went silent, not daring to say a single word.

"Your Majesty, with the invasion of the Beastmen, we must have come prepared. I suggest that we send our envoys to communicate with them, listen to their wishes and purposes on one hand, and stabilize them on the other hand. We can then take this opportunity to send a request to the other empires to eliminate the Beastmen."

An old official stood out from the side. King Bernard glanced at him and saw that he was the Empire's Minister of War.

"The War Minister's strategy is a little too gentle. These barbarians of the Beastmen have taken the initiative to invade our borders, so of course, we can't tolerate that. We should mobilize our army to fight back and take back Meteor Shower City. At the same time, we have also recovered the will and prestige of our army."

As soon as his voice fell, a mage with an icy-blue beard stood up from the side.

His magic robe was engraved with a total of eight shining stars, proving his identity as a rank 8 Magus.

"Sir, aren't you being too radical? The tactics and style of these beastmen are no longer as reckless and foolish as they were before. Fighting face to face is truly a plan!"

The Minister of War immediately gave a response that he did not want to be outdone.

"Enough. This Emperor understands your attitude. There's no need to continue arguing."

King Bernard waved his hand, halting the two ministers' debate.

He knew clearly in his heart that the attitudes of these two already represented the attitude of all the ministers present.

One side was the main battle, while the other side was fighting for communication and for reinforcements.

The fact that the Beastmen Army could take down Fallen Star City in one day made him somewhat fearful.

As the saying goes, the unknown is the most terrifying.

Before he was clear on the current strength of the Beastmen, if he recklessly fought a head-on battle, he might lose out greatly.

However, if they avoided asking the other human empires for help, they might end up being laughed at by the other human empires if word got out.

"Sigh …"

King Bernard sighed deeply, feeling a headache coming on.

"Father, I feel that the words of the two sirs are reasonable, but as to how to proceed on with the next step, I must first judge based on the actual situation."

The Third Prince said at the right time.

"What my son said is very reasonable. Then what is the actual situation? What should we do next?"

King Bernard nodded slightly.

Compared to my understanding of the actual situation, I think that no one has as much voice as my commander. It just so happens that he has returned to the capital to report to me, and is currently waiting outside the hall.

After the third prince finished speaking, he retreated to the side.

"Someone, summon that commander into the palace."

King Bernard immediately ordered.

Before long, the fat commander trotted into the hall.

"Greetings, Your Majesty. For the fall of Meteor Shower City, this lowly one deserves a thousand deaths. Please punish me, Your Majesty."

As soon as the fat commander entered, he immediately knelt down and paid his respects.

His eyes were sunken, his body dusty, and he looked very haggard.

"That's enough. Get up and carefully explain what happened. We are talking about the punishment right now."1

King Bernard looked at him piteously and waved him to his feet.

The fat commander thanked him profusely before standing up.

He did not hide anything and told her the whole story.

After he finished speaking, the entire hall fell silent.
