As Kurtz finished speaking, the other generals in the hall all knelt down and responded:
"Your Highness, please move."
Huidun put down the baton in his hand and looked at the kneeling generals and internal affairs officials such as Tophis.
It can be said that the generals and ministers here are the ministers he will rely on after he ascends the throne in the future.
But now they all advised him to leave, and Huidun could not say anything harsh to them because it was their duty as subjects to the king.
But as the crown prince, the future heir to the kingdom, and the lord of Huidun City, he has the obligation and responsibility to stay until the end.
“Everyone, please stand up. It is your duty as a minister to persuade me to leave, so I will not rebuke you.
But I am the crown prince, and I also have the responsibility to defend the land and protect the people, so you are not allowed to persuade me again in the future.
If you really want to do this for my own good, then do your best to help me improve my defense system and buy me as much time as possible."
At this moment, Chen Cheng shouted "Hello" from outside and walked in.
When Huidun heard the familiar voice, he immediately turned around and looked outside the hall, and saw the familiar figure.
"Brown, it's really you, Brown. You're really back."
Huidun immediately stepped out to greet him.
At this time, Chen Cheng also immediately greeted and said:
"His Royal Highness."
"No need to be so polite, you're finally back."
Huidun took Chen Cheng's hand and said.
Then he sighed again and said:
"But I don't know if it's a good idea for you to come back this time. Now that the beast tide is about to hit, you should evacuate with the students of the academy first."
Huidun was not acting. He was looking forward to Chen Cheng's return because he was afraid that he would lose contact with the news and would encounter a beast tide and be killed when he returned alone.
Now that he is back, Huidun can arrange for him to leave the Western Territory, a place of trouble, immediately.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness, but you just said you couldn't leave, so how can you persuade me to leave now?
Although my strength is low, I still consider myself capable of serving as a military advisor, and I have returned with good news."
Then Chen Cheng made way to let Sifit and the others come closer.
"Your Highness, these are the elf warriors who escorted me all the way back. I came back because I received the news from the elven elders.
The situation is extremely urgent now, and I have developed some friendship with the elves because of Miss Emile's matter.
The elven elders said that if Your Highness could write a letter on behalf of His Majesty, requesting an alliance and assistance, then the elven elders would have sufficient reason to help us overcome this crisis."
Chen Cheng's words undoubtedly ignited a ray of hope in Huidun's heart, which had already been filled with despair.
The elves are one of the powerful tribes, and all the elders in the tribe are demigod-level strongmen. As long as we can invite one of them, there will still be a chance to defeat the beast tide.
Huidun did not doubt Chen Cheng's words and immediately asked someone to prepare writing materials.
Perhaps it was because he was too desperate and suddenly got hope, which made Huidun lose his usual composure. He directly tore off a piece of his embroidered robe, spread it on the ground, and then bit his index finger and wrote a humble and tearful letter for help with blood.
Because the index finger heals quickly, Huidun bit his finger no less than ten times after writing the letter for help, and the last bite directly broke the finger.
After writing the letter, he took out his prince's seal and stamped it.
After waiting for the blood letter to dry, he folded it up and handed it to Chen Cheng, saying:
"I'm here to thank my brother."
Chen Cheng helped Huidun up, and at this time Sifit also stepped forward to pick up the finger that was bitten off by Huidun, and then used magic to reconnect his finger.
"Your Highness, rest assured. As long as the letter is handed over to the elders, they will definitely take action to quell the beast tide."
"It's just that delivering the letter takes time, so Your Highness needs to hold on until it arrives."
Huidun nodded and said:
"Thank you, nobleman. I understand the principle of saving yourself before saving others."
Sifit nodded, and then handed the blood letter to Ireland.
"You are the fastest runner in our team. You must deliver this letter back to the tribe and give it to the elders as quickly as possible."
Ireland was no longer as cheerful as before. He took the blood letter, accepted the order solemnly, and then floated out of the city like a wisp of green smoke.
"Based on her speed, it would take about a day and a half to reach the destination. And according to the investigation of our elders, the beast tide may arrive within this day.
It will probably take our elders half a day to deal with the Beast King hiding in the herd, so Your Highness must be prepared to resist for at least a day."
Sifit mentioned the time of day as if it was light, but everyone present knew what this day meant.
Considering the impact and speed of the beast tide, if there is no decent resistance, one day will be enough for them to sweep across most of the western province.
Even if there was resistance, this was the first day of the beast tide's most violent and turbulent beginning, and the number of beasts gathered was unimaginable.
"Well, Your Highness, now is not the time to think about anything else. On the way here, I thought of a way to inspire the soldiers and civilians in other cities."
Then Chen Cheng told everyone how he thought of ways to boost morale.
At this time, Tophis also responded:
“Brown’s proposal is a good one. Not only should we tell them that His Royal Highness is still here and give them confidence, but we should also issue a compulsory conscription order.
All remaining weapons and other war resources in the noble mansions and city lords' residences within the city will be forcibly requisitioned and then distributed directly to the soldiers and civilians defending the city to resist the beast tide outside the city."
"How is this possible? Will those cowards agree to this? And those who escaped, won't they take all these things with them?"
At this time, Xiao Dun frowned and asked.
But Tophis laughed and said:
"If they disagree, then it's not up to them. When selecting someone with fast feet, we also need to have one of His Highness's personal knights go with them.
And I believe that those who are able to stay here all know what to do, and when they see His Highness's guards, they will know what to do.
As for those who escaped, given their character, they would probably only take a small number of their families and a considerable amount of bank vouchers. As for weapons and training resources, I'm afraid they wouldn't care about them."
"Moreover, the guard knights sent out not only have a deterrent effect, but they also know how to control the defensive arrays on the city walls of the kingdom.
This way they can also serve as the highest guard commanders of their cities."
This Tophis is indeed a talent in internal affairs. He was able to think of Chen Cheng's superficial ideas in such a detailed way in an instant.
Huidun nodded and immediately gave the order.
"Since you proposed this, you should do it as soon as possible."
When Tophis was about to leave after receiving the order, Chen Cheng stopped him, and then Chen Cheng took out the box of magic crystals that Hills had compensated him with when they were in the royal capital from his space pocket.
"Take these, divide them up and distribute them to those with good speed, so that they can take the people to the various cities as quickly as possible."
