Steel, Guns and the Industrial Party Across the World Chapter 621

Steel, Guns, and the Otherworldly Industrial Party Chapter 621 Proposal

Antonio rides a white horse, patrolling Gabela's barracks.

The groans of wounded soldiers continued to reach his ears. Although he had been in the army for so many years, he still felt very uncomfortable after hearing these painful sounds.

He knew that many people would not be able to get over the fever and leave this world forever.

Whenever this time, Antonio would very much hope that the heaven preached by the church is real, although he also hates the church at the same time.

Those who were unhurt or less wounded saluted and cheered the commander-in-chief as he passed by.

Antonio greeted them with a stern look, taking care to hide his sorrow and not show it.

Gabela's culture made his soldiers crave a commander who was ruthless rather than benevolent.

Antonio and his army are located in the Kingdom of Creel, a vassal state located in the north of the Gabela Empire, confronting the orc army heading south.

Although he successfully gained power in the coup d'état, the threat of the northern orcs was actually taking place. Antonio, who had already controlled the center of the empire, could not let it go, otherwise his legitimacy would be greatly reduced.

Therefore, after the situation in the imperial capital initially stabilized, Antonio left the old Marshal Macdonald to sit in the rear and personally lead the army to deal with the orcs.

The spears going south and the shields going north collided head-on, and the two sides fought several consecutive battles on the land of Creel, with each winning and losing.

Generally speaking, the orc cavalry is dominant, and there are more troops. Its headquarters plus the human servant army it has subdued, there are as many as 100,000 people in total.

Gabela's army is more elite, but smaller-Antonio needs to leave a part of the elite to guard the unstable rear.

A person approaching on horseback was Antonio's deputy on this expedition—Siegfried.

He smiled and didn't have to hold it in front of Siegfried.

"The inspection you were in charge of is over?"

"Yes, Your Highness."

"How's morale?"

"Very high, Your Highness! Everyone is eager to beat up the prairie savage tomorrow."

"That is not bad!"

Ziggy flew over and walked with Antonio.

"Your Highness, I seem to see a worried look on your eyebrows! This is not like your previous style."

His tone was very brisk, as if he was deliberately enlivening his friend's mood.

"Oh, my dear Siegfried!"

Antonio confides in him.

"I've never fought a battle like this—not in terms of strength, but...with an unstable rear, away from Gabela and fighting the enemy to death."

This is exactly where Antonio is not used to it. Although there were guys like Felix and the Dias family who opposed him in the rear, but with his father Battery leading the overall situation, his rear was generally stable.

But it is different now, his authority has not yet been established, and the lords everywhere are holding a wait-and-see attitude towards the situation in the imperial capital, and are even... ambitious.

There was a warm touch on the shoulder, and it was a friend who put his hand on his shoulder.

He received a force channeled into himself.

"All difficulties will be overcome."

Siegfried said in a pure voice, "Antonio, we are all by your side."

"I've always thought so too!"

Antonio responded to him, and the boredom in his heart eased a lot.

The two returned to the big tent in the center of the camp to have a drink, but unexpectedly found that someone was already waiting inside.

Master Aldrich, the famous bachelor of the Bachelor Tower, saw Antonio and Zieg flying in, and stood up to meet them.

Antonio asked suspiciously: "Dear teacher, is there anything important at this late hour?"

Aldrich frowned slightly, and solemnly said to Antonio: "Your Highness, I have come to give you some suggestions."

"Oh? Please sit down and explain."

Antonio held out his hand to him.

After the three of them sat down, Aldridge said softly: "Maybe my suggestion is not pleasing, but the development of the situation makes it impossible for me not to say it."

"Have you received any latest news?" Antonio motioned for him to continue.

Aldrich nodded, "Several students sent me a secret message that several lords in the southeast direction are plotting against you, Your Highness!"

Antonio's face turned cold.

The bachelors who came out of the bachelor's tower in the imperial capital have always been highly sought-after talents by the lords all over Gabela. They spend a lot of money to recruit the bachelors, or take care of the territory for themselves, or advise themselves, or educate themselves the next generation.

These bachelors walking in the various territories of the empire are an important part of Gabela's ruling class, and each holds important positions.

Therefore, the information obtained by Aldrich should be very reliable.

"These bastards!"

Siegfried sitting next to him commented disdainfully.

But he also frowned. Has the instability in the empire reached the point where someone is bold enough to openly confront the imperial capital?

Antonio looked at Aldrich~www.mtlnovel.com~Mentor, I remember you said you were here to give advice. "

"Yes." Aldridge nodded and said, "Actually, I suggest you make some concessions to the orcs!"

"Absolutely not!" Antonio refused without thinking.

"Are you asking me to hand over Creel? How will others see me, a person who has just obtained the power to rule the empire, and the first thing he does is betray the interests of the empire?"

Aldridge shook his head, "It's not Creel."

"Not Krill?"

"Not Creel! The strongest desire of the orcs for thousands of years is to obtain a farmable plain. It doesn't matter whether they are Creel or not."

Antonio was a little puzzled: "Where should that be? I don't think it will work as long as it is involved with the empire, whether it is our own territory or the territory of our allies."

Aldridge looked at him and said slowly, "Nerodan!"

Antonio and Siegfried were surprised together.

"That's Aldo's land!"

"Yes, Aldo's land." Aldrich said with an emphasis, "Isn't this just right? We have preserved our interests, and the orcs have also gained their interests."

"That doesn't work either!"

Antonio still shook his head, "We have already weakened Aldo with Giles. If the orcs occupy Inner Rodan, Aldo's hinterland will be directly exposed to these barbarians. It is too dangerous, and the entire western continent will be lost. Balanced."

"It will take time to break the balance! Besides, the defense of the northeast has cost Aldo countless money and food. If Nerodan is lost, perhaps Aldo can accumulate more strength."

Aldridge stuck to his guns.

"The dark chess pieces we arranged in Nerodan, it's time to make a move."
