Chapter601 The Battle of Lao Jiamen(2/2)
Ah!?? Are you still drinking with those useless Noxian players who are trapped in the lonely city!?"
The silent kingdom staff stared at the toes of their shoes intently, as if they were embroidered with some beautiful pattern.
The messenger who delivered the letter knelt on the ground, lowered his head, and did not dare to say a word.
"A bunch of trash!
"
After a while, Jiawen I struggled to suppress the anger in his heart.
Having said that, he also knew that what Chris did was actually right. Giving up on annihilating the Noxian Legion at the last moment would cause greater losses. By then it would be too late to return reinforcements, and Liinland's enemies would have to run away.
Fetching water from a bamboo basket is in vain.
However, the correct result does not mean that the process is correct. Simply speaking, the result of allowing the enemy to enter the territory of the kingdom is enough to remove the marshal of the kingdom from his post, no matter how great his achievements are.
The staff who were good at understanding the will of the Holy Spirit made just the right suggestions so that the angry king could find a way out.
"Your Majesty, although Marshal Chris has made a heinous mistake, it is taboo to change generals before a battle. The outcome of the battle in Leinland has not yet been determined. Your Majesty, please think twice."
When someone spoke up, other aides and noble ministers also began to lend their support. Some even suggested that Chris lead an army to make amends and surround and kill the invaders. However, no noble minister took the initiative to speak up and lead his own private troops to fight against the enemy.
What is public and what is private, these fat-headed ministers know much more clearly than he does.
Looking coldly at the kingdom officials under his throne, Jarvan I suddenly remembered what his father, King Red, said to him when he was young.
[Only when you sit on the throne will you understand that most of the ministers who help you manage the kingdom under the throne will not consider the life and death of the people. They maintain your rule just because you can preserve their family and allow them to continue to be prosperous and wealthy.

Even with his own namesake, the great late King Dulles could only rely on himself when the country was in crisis.
"That's enough! Hawthorne, from now on, you will serve as the kingdom's military recruiter, and I will give you the right to do whatever you want.
In one week, you have to recruit young and middle-aged citizens of Demacia across the country to form a new army. One week later, I will lead the expedition myself! I will personally exterminate this group of Noxian rats!"
The private soldiers of the nobles can also be regarded as citizens of Demacia. This is equivalent to gaining benefits from the great nobles of Demacia in disguise. In normal times, many ministers will definitely object to it. However, if the matter is urgent, the noble ministers present will
It was hard to say anything, so I could only swallow this breath silently.
His Majesty, the Emperor of Demacia, has gone to the battlefield, so recruiting a few nobles and private troops is no problem.
These four words of "royal chariot and personal conquest" are enough to stop all the nobles' mouths and make them convinced.
"My lord, I obey the order."
…
In the outer city of Leinland, Chris frowned and put down the news from the palace.
The good news is that Jarvan I did not ask him to lead an army to return for reinforcements. The bad news is that Jarvan I said nothing to him. Instead, he recruited new legions in the country and prepared to lead the expedition himself.
Compared to this result, he would rather Jarvan I wrote him a letter and removed him from office.
"I'm afraid it's time for me to go home and take care of myself after this battle is over."
Behind Chris, the members of the staff looked at each other, a little worried. After all, they and Chris had a mutually beneficial relationship. If Chris was not reused, the Crown Guard family would be left out, and they would not be able to succeed.
.
"Your Majesty's decision this time really needs to be thought over. In the history of Demacia, there are not many kings who have personally led conquests, but any king who appears is an extremely ambitious hero.
In particular, the deeds of King Dulles are a magnificent legend in the history of Demacia...
Mr. Chris, please forgive me, this city of Leinland is like the hardest bone to chew. It hurts your teeth every time you take a bite, but it is still thankless.
After being unable to capture the enemy for a long time, our soldiers have become very war-weary. On the other hand, Noxus has become more mournful.
If we continue to fight and lose more soldiers, I am afraid that instead of achieving nothing, we will have a fault."
Chris sighed, he didn't know this truth, but as the supreme commander, he had no choice from the beginning.
From the moment the Thain Army ignored the orders of the Supreme Headquarters and went directly north, whether he chose to return to support the old guard or continue to besiege Leinland, it became the wrong choice.
According to the combat effectiveness of Thain's army, even if he led his troops back in time, it would be too late to prevent Thain from breaking through the old gate.
When the time comes, Thane will not go deep into the border of Demacia and just turn around and leave. However, he will have to take the risk of the Leinland defenders successfully breaking through. You must know that the Second Support Army is affiliated with Burnham's First Empire.
The legion has always been on the periphery to contain troops.
Deploying too few troops to return reinforcements is useless. If too many troops are deployed, the war situation in Leinland will directly deteriorate, and it is not impossible to be surrounded by the Noxians.
"marshal?"
