    Chapter 30 The whole country was shocked

    On March 29, when the results of the Battle of Satsori reached the northern continent, the entire northern nobility was shocked. The king and many people and nobles who supported Prince Reinhard fell into great grief. Elantes Yiliuyun  For the first time, his name was comparable to the king, the Duke of Brant, the Duke of Lorraine and other dignitaries.

    In the royal palace hall of Kesir, the royal capital, all the powerful generals in the royal capital stood in the hall and listened to the news read by the messengers of the guards.

    "His Majesty the King and all your lords, our expeditionary force failed in the Battle of Suttersenli Plain the day before yesterday. The commander, Prince Reinhardt, was killed because he insisted on holding the flag and refused to retreat. On the right, the troops commanded by Viscount Julali and his relatives  Defeated by Elantra's left wing together with the peasants, they retreated and fled. The royal army in the middle resisted for a long time. When the battle was lost, the royal general Chaddis Srilan had to lead his army to retreat from the battlefield, while some troops of the left-wing aristocratic army had already retreated for a long time. Sartre  The Battle of Senri failed. Countless of our troops were killed, missing, and captured. Only 20,000 to 30,000 people escaped. Currently, most of them are gathered in the city of Cape Watch. General Chaddis Lelan and others specifically request your lordship's permission.  One step instructions.¡±

    After tearfully and sadly speaking about some of the experiences on the battlefield, Purral, the Attendant of the Guards, walked up from the steps, handed the gold jade pendant to King Lighthamon and said: "Your Majesty, the prince gave this to him after the war.  Let me convey it to you. He wants to tell you that as the crown prince and commander of the army, he has fulfilled his duties for this. This jade pendant asked me to convey it to you. He wants to tell you, father, I will not go back!"

    "Cough! Cough"

    Phew!

    King Lighthamon took the jade pendant from the attendant's hand with a trembling face of grief.  Hot tears kept falling in his eyes, even though he had heard similar news before.  But under the royal hall, he still couldn't control himself and sobbed softly in pain.

    "Your Majesty, please express your condolences!"

    "Your Majesty, Prince Reinhardt died for his country. His noble character, bravery and fearlessness are worthy of praise."

    "Your Majesty, such an outstanding prince was actually killed by the Elantians. We must take revenge."

    "Your Majesty, the urgent need to delay is not to indulge in sadness. It is to solve the safety of our southern continental army. After all, we still have 20,000 to 30,000 troops in Cape View City, as well as numerous military supplies. We must quickly get there  make a decision.¡±

    ¡­¡­

    Many ministers and generals expressed their opinions one after another. After being sad for a while, Lighthamon wiped away his tears and said sadly: "Please understand the crying state of a grieving father. Prime Minister Plantu is right, our current top priority is  Let¡¯s discuss the affairs of the Southern Continent, the advance and retreat of the troops in Cape Watch City, and the reasons for our failure in this battle. Please comment.¡±

    Tall and tall and strong.  Military Minister Sorogli, who was in his fifties and wearing military uniform, was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, no matter what the reason for the failure of this battle, our kingdom can no longer support a large-scale military battle in the short term. So my opinion is to send as many troops as possible.  Ships passed the Elantine Navy blockade to bring our troops back."

    "Yes!"

    Prime Minister Plantu nodded and said solemnly: "Our current kingdom's food has not yet been harvested. Why did we gather the army's war supplies in the warehouses everywhere? The main city defense soldiers, noble knights and attendants. The security militia have all been empty.  Mobilize the South. In the short term, we will no longer have mature combat forces to fight in the southern continent. It will take at least three months to train a spear militia, and it will take a lot of time to train a qualified swordsman and archer. So now we  Retreat must be considered.¡±

    "yes!"

    "The Prime Minister and the Minister of Military Affairs are right!"

    Everyone in the hall spoke together to reconsider.

    Lighthamon looked down at the ministers who agreed to retreat and said thoughtfully, "After the failure of this battle, I have considered many issues, so I am going to have a good discussion with you in the hall today about the current status of our expeditionary army and the situation in the kingdom.  It is true that we should retreat, but have you ever considered how we can withdraw the more than 30,000 remaining troops in the south to our towns?"

    "It's so simple. Your Majesty the King, you ordered to recruit more ships and warships, and transport them back and forth day and night. Naturally, we can transport all our soldiers back."

    "Inappropriate!"

    The tall and sturdy Navy Minister Hailasli, who was in his prime in his fifties, shook his head quickly and said: "Dear colleagues, in the previous battle near the Elant Sea, more than 300 warships of our army were defeated by the Elant Navy using suicide squad ships.  , in this naval battle, according to the descriptions of the people who escaped, the Elantra Navy was equipped with new warships with wheels that can travel against the wind and crosswind, and their main warships are equipped with bronze cannons, and according to the density of the cannonballs, the battlefield  According to the description, each of their battleships was equipped with more than one bronze cannon, maybe two or three, and weIn our fleet, only the elite royal navy warships are equipped with bronze cannons, and the range of the cannonballs and the number of cannons on each warship exceed ours.  "

    "The Elantra Navy quickly dispatched hundreds of triangular sailboats after the wind direction changed in their favor. These ships were controlled by members of the death squads and were loaded with sulfur, hay and flammable materials. The front hulls were equipped with rams or straps.  Bronze spears together. With the blessing of the wind, these hundreds of kamikaze warships crashed into our naval formation, slammed into our warships, or used ignited flames to burn the oars that collided with us, giving us  The warships caused a lot of damage. The Elant Navy, with the help of the kamikaze battleships, quickly launched a fierce attack on us with a dispersed fleet from a distance. The warships of both sides continued to fight in the northern waters of the Elant Islands. After two or three hours  In the battle, our army suffered too many losses due to too few new warships. Our navy failed in the naval battle, and only a handful of more than 70 warships escaped. It must be said that the first person to escape in this battle was Viscount Julali.  The naval fleet, their battleships and more than fifty transport ships escaped together, which had a huge impact on the morale of our navy. Although we may not win with them standing, it is precisely because of their escape that our naval battle fell into  At a disadvantage, the royal family's middle battleship was outnumbered and was surrounded and annihilated by the Elantra navy after a fierce battle. The noble navy's battleship also had to fail and collapse in such a battle."

    "Damn it, it's Viscount Julali again." Minister of Military Affairs Sorogli clenched his fist angrily and said: "In the early stage of the Battle of Satsenli Plain, it was because the cavalry troops, light cavalry troops, and militia troops commanded by Viscount Julali on the right took the lead.  Collapse, he fled with the noble troops, which caused the failure of the entire campaign."
