Doomsday Code

Chapter 700 Internal and external troubles

Tophis took the box handed to him by Chen Cheng, bowed to Chen Cheng, and then left the City Lord's Mansion without saying anything.

Turning around, Chen Cheng asked Huidun:

"Does the king know about the events in the western border, and what's going on with the governor?"

However, Huidun's expression turned extremely ugly at this moment.

At this time, Kurtz said:

"this……"

"Just call me Brown."

"Of course, we reported Brown's news to the capital immediately, but some people colluded with foreign countries at this time and suppressed the border.

At the same time, those in the court who opposed the new policy also colluded with each other and strongly advocated giving up the western province.

Therefore, the capital couldn't send any manpower to aid the western border."

Hearing Kurtz's words, all the young men in the hall clenched their fists.

Those damned fellows, for their own benefit, completely disregarded the country, colluded with foreign countries, and committed treason. At the same time, for their own benefit, they did not hesitate to sacrifice the entire Western Territory to attack Huidun, who was leading the new policy.

Chen Cheng did not expect the situation to take such a sudden turn for the worse.

"What about that old fellow Holmes? Can't he control the situation?"

At this time, Huidun sighed and said:

"In the two months since you left, Holmes has become a knife slashing at the corrupt nobles. He's been at war with them to the death.

If it weren't for this sudden beast tide, it wouldn't take long for him and his father to sweep away those guys.

But now that this has happened, they are fighting Holmes with the intention of perishing together with the New Deal."

"No matter how resourceful Holmes is, and no matter how much support my father has, it's impossible for him to just wield the butcher knife and start a massacre under the current circumstances."

Huidun is right. Some of those who oppose it really don't care about anything.

This part is damning.

But there is another group of people who, although they oppose the new policy, are still loyal to the country. Now that foreign enemies are approaching, their help is still needed to organize manpower and troops.

So now politically this has become a deadlock.

"The situation on the Governor's side is equally grim. This beast tide is targeting the entire Western Province. He not only has to evacuate personnel, but also coordinate arrangements for each city."

After listening to this, Chen Cheng had an idea in his mind.

Then Huidun invited Chen Cheng to come to the sand table to see the defense they had arranged and see if Chen Cheng had any good suggestions.

Chen Cheng looked at the many young generals present and waved his hand.

"You generals are here, and I don't know much about military affairs, so I'd better listen to your advice on this part."

Chen Cheng was not trying to avoid suspicion or anything, because he really didn't know how to fight a war, and what he knew was what he heard from the political commissar in his previous life.

The reason why he asked the captain when he was outside the city was that he was too impatient at the time. After all, he had contributed a lot to the construction of Huidun City. Seeing that it was about to become ruins, he was naturally a little excited.

But now that he has calmed down, he knows that he should not speak carelessly to avoid making mistakes.

"Leave this to the generals. I can contact the three major forces and perhaps seek some support."

Huidun also knew Chen Cheng’s relationship with the Guild and the Academy Alliance. Perhaps he could really ask for support from the masters of these two major forces.

Just as Chen Cheng was leaving, Huidun took off the Prince's Seal from his waist and handed it to Chen Cheng, saying:

"Take my seal with you. If they have any requests, agree to them as long as you think it's acceptable."

Huidun's behavior is not just a trust in Chen Cheng. Although the Kingdom of Moss is now facing internal and external troubles, the real chaos is only in the poorest western region.

The other four provinces are peaceful.

It can be said that if the Kingdom of Moss is ruthless and directly gives up the western border, the foundation of the kingdom will still be there.

Huidun's seal of the crown prince is truly the seal of a country's crown prince, and his seal has legal effect.

It can be said that Huidun's actions allowed Chen Cheng to exercise the power of the crown prince on his behalf.

Chen Cheng did not pretend to refuse and decline the offer because he did not have the time to do so.

He took the seal, nodded firmly at Huidun, and then left the City Lord's Mansion.

And Sifit and the others also left with Chen Cheng.

After Chen Cheng left, Huidun let out a long sigh.

"Your Highness."

Xiao Dun said as he stood beside Huidun.

"Don't worry about anything. Brown is back, so the situation isn't that bad. We can study it further and change the plan.

I'm going to change my previous plan of taking it slow and steady. I'm going to use the most intense firepower to give those beasts a scene they'll never forget."

At this moment, the decadent air in Huidun's body disappeared, and a blazing fighting spirit burned in his eyes.

Then everyone in the hall began to deploy their troops in a new formation, and at the same time, military orders were issued from the City Lord's Mansion.

Chen Cheng didn't know that during the two months he was away, Huidun returned to Huidun City with not only civil and military officials, but also a large number of craftsmen from the royal capital.

Their purpose in coming here was to expand the firearms factory.

Because Moss XIII wanted the new policy to start with the army. If he controlled the army, he would not be afraid of other people causing trouble, and re-equipping the army was the top priority.

Therefore, within these two months, the output of the Fatty's Firearms Factory increased from 200 large-caliber howitzers per month to 1,000 per month.

At the same time, the other types of supplementary mortar guns and ammunition increased by more than five to ten times.

However, most of these newly produced firearms did not have time to be transported away and were all left in Huidun City.

And it was precisely because of so many artillery pieces that Huidun was still trying to defend Huidun City and several surrounding cities when there was no hope at all.

Because he really has the ability.

Now that the guarding time has been compressed to one day, all the previous careful calculations can be abandoned. With so many shells, it is enough to bombard for several days in a row.

Therefore, in order to consume the artillery shells to the maximum extent, Huidun directly ordered his men to bury artillery shells within the area of tens of thousands of meters from one thousand meters in front of the position to the farthest coverage range of the artillery.

So when Chen Cheng left the City Lord's Mansion and was on the way to the guild, he saw all the troops patrolling and training in the city rushing out of the city.

They received orders to bury the shells.

When we arrived at the guild gate, it was surrounded by adventurers.

Meanwhile, Guild Master Moni and his team members were organizing the adventurer team.

Once the beast tide comes, adventurers like them will be an important support force.

Lisa was the first to notice Chen Cheng behind the crowd.

She pushed through the crowd and came to Chen Cheng.

"Why are you back at this time, you little brat? Do you know that the entire Western Territory is extremely dangerous right now?

Didn't Huidun treat you like a brother? Didn't he arrange for you to take the teleportation array to leave the Western Territory?"

"Sister Lisa, please stop talking nonsense. I don't want to leave, and the situation is not as bad as you think.

See the elven warrior behind me? His Highness has already sent a letter requesting assistance. As long as the Western Territory can hold out for a day, the Beast King who unleashed the beast tide will be dealt with by the elven elders."

Because they were afraid of being stared at for wearing elf ears, Soft and the others simply put on cloaks and covered their heads with the cloaks.

After hearing Chen Cheng's words, Sifit and the others lifted their cloaks slightly, allowing Lisa to see their pointed ears, which were the symbol of elves.
