"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, great news!" Andrew, the palace steward, hurried into the palace to report the good news to Reis XII.
Reis XII was worried about the failure of the 150,000-man army. If he mobilized troops from other regions now, it would definitely attract the covetousness of other countries. With enemies on all sides, the destruction of the country would be a matter of time. Cato was also defeated. Stander and Harris fled back to the imperial capital in a panic, which gave Reis XII a headache. "What great news?" Reis XII couldn't figure out what else was worth being happy about?
"Congratulations, Your Majesty. His Highness the Seventh Prince has led the logistics troops to defeat the Byting Empire and is now recovering lost territory."
"What?" Reis XII was so surprised that he stood up. How could this be possible? The 250,000-man army failed to defeat the Byting Empire, but more than 10,000 logistics troops could do it? "Are you telling the truth?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, the battle report just came from the front line, His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince has defeated the Baiting Empire and is now recovering the occupied cities. However, His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince has not received any letters yet, only the commander of the former 15th Legion of the Empire wrote back the battle report."
Reis XII's heart was filled with great joy. This was from hell to heaven. He was still thinking hard about how to resist the opponent's attack, and then he had recovered the lost territory. This great joy made Reis XII constantly walk around the desk. What should I do? What should I do next?
"Announce this good news and call all ministers to discuss the matter." Reis XII had never expected that his son, whom he considered the most useless, would save the entire empire and now be in a high position in the military. It is estimated that the old man Cato will definitely turn to the Seventh Prince. The military emphasizes that the strong are respected. If the opponent who cannot be defeated by the most prestigious Cato is defeated by the Seventh Prince, then the others will also bow down to him. It seems that Cage's rise is unstoppable, but he~, Reis XII shook off the idea in his head and discussed it first.
Everyone in the hall was talking about it, obviously frightened by the news. How could the situation be reversed in just a dozen days? Worry and fear were far away all of a sudden. What happened? Is God joking with them?
"Ministers, what do you think we should do now?"
King Reiss XII was smiling, but many people were worried. They had been thinking about seizing some of Cage's property during the days when Cage went to war. The defeat of the 250,000-strong army of the empire made them feel that they could only be safe if they had more money. If the 250,000-strong army was defeated, it would be difficult for His Highness Cage to come back. For a prince with no power, the family property became a gold mine. But now Cage's reputation was at its peak, and he was already a powerful figure who controlled a group of troops. It would be fine if he didn't know. If this matter was known, death would surely be waiting for them.
Each faction had its own agenda, and only a few people were happy. The prime minister was the happiest. After all, their family had a very good relationship with Cage. During the time when Cage was on the expedition, he helped a lot. His Highness Cage became a great help to them. Harris was also very happy. Although he was scolded by King Reis XII when he came back, now his fellow brothers have made such great contributions. For him, it increases his chances of winning. Martir was also very happy. As a representative of the royal family, this shows that the strength of the royal family has increased! Anyway, Cage will not become king. With the strength of the military, the strength of the royal family has greatly increased.
There are also unhappy ones, such as the eldest prince, the fourth prince and the sixth prince. Doesn't Cage's excellence just show their incompetence? There will be greater resistance on the road ahead.
"Father, without confirming the actual situation, let's not discuss other things. Let's make a decision after the seventh brother explains all the real situation in his handwritten letter." Stander is still ready to suppress the whole thing.
"Report, the handwritten letter of His Highness the Seventh Prince has arrived." Andrew hurried to the meeting hall.
"Present it." Reis XII was very happy and excited. He was eager to know what happened. After reading the handwritten letter, Reis XII laughed, "Andrew, read it to everyone."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Andrew straightened his clothes, took the animal skin letter, and read aloud, "Dear father, your Majesty, I am Cage. On the day of writing this letter, I have recovered all the cities occupied by the Byting Empire, captured more than 57,000 soldiers of the Byting Empire, beheaded nearly 40,000, and wiped out its magician corps. Now I report to your father."
The letter is very simple, explaining many issues, and most of the information is completely revealed. The meaning is very simple, asking your Majesty what you want to do now.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty."
As the Duke of Windsor came out to flatter, others also flattered him. It was probably because your Majesty was wise and brave. Under his leadership, Cage won the victory.
"Now, what do you think we should do?"
"Your Majesty, I think we should immediately select officials to go to various cities to ensure the normal operation of the cities, and at the same time send troops to station there to prevent the Byting Empire from attacking again." Windsor is very experienced in handling this kind of aftermath and knows what to do.
"Well, I'll leave this matter to you."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Windsor was secretly happy. Now he could place some officials again. With Cage's big ship, he should cooperate with him.
"Father, I think we should go to the scene to verify and verify the situation of the entire battlefield. At the same time, we should understand the degree of damage to various cities after the war, and rebuild the cities after the war." Stad understood that he needed to find out something now, so as not to make Cage's strength too strong. At least he must have his own people to do this.
"Yes, select some people to cooperate with the Duke of Windsor's work."
"Yes, father." Stand happily accepted the order.
"What kind of reward do you think should be given to Cage?" Reis XII put forward the key point. After all, this is a great contribution, and it is inappropriate not to reward him. However, Reis XII is also very conflicted. Should he give Cage military power? If he has soldiers and his military literacy is so high, no one in the empire will be able to resist him, and his throne will be unstable. After all, anything can happen in the royal family.
"Your Majesty, I think that His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince should be given the right to control the troops in the east to prevent the counterattack of the Baiting Empire." Cato said loudly. He only admired Cage. He was ambushed by Reina and failed, but he was very happy that the empire had a famous general who could defeat the famous generals ranked within the top 20 on the continent. Cage should also be on this list!
"Well" Reis XII did not make up his mind to give him more power.
"Father, I think that my seventh brother can temporarily lead the troops in the east, and when the whole war is stable, he can return to the imperial capital to take up the post of first-class general, and at the same time grant him the title of prince. After all, protecting the safety of the imperial capital is the most important thing." Warner now decided to cooperate with Stander. Now Cage is probably the strongest among them, and it is most reasonable to fight together.
The title can be given at will, but military power cannot be given at will. It is most important to hold it firmly in one's own hands.
"Father, I think that the seventh brother should be given the right to lead the troops in the east. The Baiting Empire, which has just been defeated, will definitely not give up. Now only the seventh brother can compete with the other coach." Harris still has some brains. Only when Cage is strong can he have a chance!
"Duke of Windsor, what do you say we should do?" Reis XII needs a step down. In his heart, he still doesn't want Cage to be too strong. After all, he and he don't have a good relationship.
"I will follow your Majesty's arrangements. If possible, I hope to send someone to the Seventh Prince to ask his opinion. Wouldn't it be better to make a decision then?"
Windsor's idea touched the heart of King Reis XII. Even if you want it, you can't give it to him partially! Of course, you should give some things that can be given. After all, this is also a member of the royal family and the main fighting force for the country.
"Okay, let's do as Windsor says. Let's see what Cage wants first. At the same time, check the entire battlefield and send officials to handle the political affairs of each city." King Reis XII decided to play it safe.
