The Dictatorial Lords

Just like what Zhang Zhao analyzed last time, this time the human army attacked two cities of the orc empire. Now it seems that the human empire is planning more than this. There must be a bigger plan. Could it be As Zhang Zhao guessed, the human army wanted to provoke the beginning of the war, and then snipe and kill the royal family members? Especially those princes?

"Zhang Zhao, most of the things you analyzed last time have now been fulfilled. I think what you said is still very reasonable. Humans have spent so much effort, how could it be possible to seize the finances and resources in these two cities? .There must be other things. As for whether it is a member of the orc royal family or not, it depends on the development of the following things to judge. "Lock looked at the information and said slowly.

"There is nothing about our city of Orz yet. Let's wait quietly for the development of the matter. Now let's see the reaction of the orc royal family."

In the orc royal family, in the main hall. The old emperor summoned many ministers and several princes. Although some of them did not get any benefits from this succession, their identities are still the princes of the orc empire. There are still such things. involved in power.

The old emperor sat on the upper throne, looked at the people below, and said: "I believe you all know, right? Two cities on the border of our orc empire were raided by human troops. Although these two cities are not lost now, they are also It is worthless. It was almost destroyed. Our people were killed and caught by those human troops. Our reinforcements ran on both sides. They couldn't provide effective support at all. This time, the temptation from the human side The strategy is well used, playing around with our reinforcements stationed at the border. The financial and resources that have been robbed are countless. I believe you are also very clear about the purpose of calling you here, what should you tell me? "

Hearing the old emperor's words, everyone below began to ponder. Hearing what the old emperor meant, he wanted to fight back, but now that the human army has retreated, how do we fight? Are we going to attack the human border city? Will it lead to a bigger war? If one is not done well, it may really trigger a real war between the two countries.

"Your Majesty, our two cities were captured by the human army for no reason. Many of our orc civilians were displaced. We have to avenge this kind of hatred. But... now our city has been breached. Although the defense has not been lost, the finances and resources in the city They were all snatched away. We still don’t know what the human army will do next. Should we send troops to guard our borders first? Now there are only reserve troops on the borders. It’s impossible to protect so many cities. We should send us as soon as possible. The main battle force is out, let’s talk about the next thing.”

The old emperor nodded and said: "Yes, I summoned you this time to choose a general. Our imperial city has just experienced some things, so I plan to choose one of the princes to be the commander-in-chief. To lead this army to the border, of course there must be a general to go with him."

When the people below heard it, they wanted to choose the prince to go to the border and command an army. Especially those princes were a little excited. The old emperor is delegating power. As long as he has this army in his hand, then even if he failed this time It's nothing. I can plan slowly in the future. After all, the old emperor's health is still very good. No one dares to have any thoughts. This time the heir competition seems to be for the throne, but in fact most people know that, This is the old emperor testing several princes. If the latter prince satisfies the old emperor, then it is not clear who is the emperor.

"Father, let me go. I will definitely let those human armies who dare to invade our orc border know the strength of our orc clan." At this time, the third prince jumped out and said hastily. He failed this time. But this time There is another opportunity, and we must seize it.

Before anyone else could speak, the fourth prince stood up and said: "Father, the third brother has no military talent since he was a child, so let me go. The dignity of our orcs cannot be looked down upon by those humans." Hearing the fourth prince say this Myself, the third prince's face turned black and he was about to speak. The old emperor above snorted coldly and said: "Hmph, you are very active in these matters. Why didn't I see you have such thoughts before? Stop arguing about this matter I have my own plan."

The old emperor sat on it and looked around for a week and said: "Now I have decided to let the third prince, the fourth prince, and the fifth prince each lead an army to the border and station each at one place. I believe that humans will not be so simple this time. For sure. There are other plans. The rest of the people stay in their seats for me. If you let me know who is dishonest at this time. Hmph, just wait for the imperial guard to come."

As soon as the courtiers below heard about the imperial guards, they immediately dared not move. The imperial guards, this secret army of the imperial family, had no chance of surviving once they made a move. No matter who it was, as long as they were targeted by the imperial guards, It can be said that it is over.

"The prince is stationed at the border. Those of you follow along to supervise, and you make up your own mind. However, I have one request. That is, no matter who you follow, you must guard the border for me. You can't let this happen again. The prince will follow you and study hard. Don’t just know how to fight for power in the imperial city all day long. You don’t know anything about the outside world.”

The old emperor was still a little worried and said: "The prince didn't obey the command in front of you. He did nothing. All of them will be dealt with by military law. When I return to the imperial city, I will settle the score with him slowly. Hmph." After the old emperor finished speaking, a He flicked his sleeves and turned to leave.

Everyone knows that this is the emperor's lock on the princes again. Don't think that you are a prince, you can mess around in the border army. The main purpose of this trip is to learn, not for power.

Otherwise, the prince who sits on the throne in the future will look like an idiot in military affairs, and this will be laughed at by the outside races. Among the orcs, there is still a lion-human tribe watching. If the lion-human tribe seizes the throne, it will belong to the emperor at that time The imperial guards don't care who you are the emperor. They only obey the emperor's orders. At that time, even if the lion people can't drive out the tiger people, there is still a way to keep the tiger people in a state of depression. How long does it take to get the tiger people's turn.

Everyone watched the old emperor leave. Those princes also rushed to the ministers they had made friends with, led them away. The most important thing for them at this time is to discuss who will follow. It is best to be neutral in this operation Make military achievements, so that their status in the eyes of the old emperor will be more important.
