King’s Kingdom

In fact, it is not impossible to face this situation, at least now Theodosius has an idea, but he is unwilling to implement it.

Such monsters cannot be dealt with by the Linked Army, and must rely on the regular army to eradicate them, and the Lanyin Kingdom has four military districts outside the capital.

Originally, the military region system was set up to prevent each region from having a certain ability to resist in the face of war under the centralized political system.

In this situation, all military regions can clean up those dark creatures.

The reason why they didn't do it was because the Lanyin Kingdom stipulated that the generals of the military region were not allowed to send troops without the king's order.

You said it was to protect civilians? You say I believe it? Who knows if you are going to bring your army to raid the capital and rebel against Your Majesty?

Yes, in order to prevent the generals from thinking they shouldn't have, they don't have the right to dispatch troops during non-war time. Apart from fighting, even the training of the army must be carried out in the company of dispatch officers from the royal capital.

This kind of system can effectively prevent the occurrence of civil strife, but it also limits their autonomy, which can be regarded as more advantages than disadvantages.

At this time, Theodosius was thinking about whether to give the generals the right to lead troops to destroy monsters.

If you don't give it, it will depend on messengers from all over the world to deliver the news. When the news arrives in Lanyin City, the daylily will be cold.

What's more, it's useless when the news reaches Lanyin City, even if Theodosius immediately ordered the dispatch of troops, the messenger would go back to report and assemble the army.

After such a procedure, everyone would have died long ago, and the monsters would have already traveled 800 miles away, which is meaningless at all.

But if Theodosius handed over the right to transfer troops to them, he would not be relieved. Since ancient times, the power of generals has been too much to seek disaster.

Although these people have behaved very respectfully so far, but they started to kill their hearts with sharp weapons in their hands. When they really have this right, can they remain as loyal as they are now? This is a big question mark in Theodosius' heart. He has been in this world for nearly a year, and he has completely adapted to the status of a king.

After thinking for a while, he decided to discuss it with Critidos.

Although the Lanyin Kingdom has a relatively mature court, most of them have a military background, and discussions are inevitably inclined towards those generals.

It has nothing to do with loyalty or not. The education and values ​​they have received since childhood determine that they are more willing to look at things from the perspective of a general.

"So, you are hesitating about this matter?" Kritidos sat on the chair, crossed Erlang's legs, with a strange expression.

"Of course, as a king, he is always on guard against factors that threaten his own rule, isn't it a matter of course?" Theodosius was not polite to her either.

After the two got married, they got along very well, and their personalities were relatively compatible. Critidos's generous and never faltering temperament made Theodosius very comfortable, and they got along more casually.

After Critidos repeatedly proposed pairing exercises, but was beaten by Theodosius, Theodosius' threat method became "beat you".

"What you said is indeed reasonable, but to be honest, your suspicion is still too heavy. Do you know that in our kingdom of Milos, the generals who lead the army have a great right of self-determination, although the army belongs to the king. , but the generals will also be able to command without any hindrance, which also allows them to make the best use of their talents!"

"But what if there is an accident? I don't want to put the country's safety on the so-called loyalty. It's too illusory. People can change!" Theodosius crossed his hands. Although he said this, he was still thinking Is Critidos correct?

"Listen, there is almost no such thing as the best of both worlds in this world. You need troops from all over the world to react quickly to fight against the harassing monsters, and it is impossible for them to continue to hide in the barracks harmlessly!" Theodosius resented his hesitation, which he and she saw as an act of indecision.

"Well..." Theodosius didn't express his position immediately.

"Anyway, you are the king, you have the final say in what order you make, I'm just a suggestion!" Critidos didn't care about Theodosius' attitude, not to mention that it was his own initiative.

Theodosius was still weighing the pros and cons in his mind.

What Kritidos said is not without reason. Since you want the army's reaction speed, it is impossible to continue to restrain these generals. These two requirements are completely contradictory.

"Oh, by the way, do you know what the hussars were like in the past? Three hundred years ago, our generals were actually tribal leaders. They had their own people and armies, and their finances and personnel were controlled by them. In their hands, the king can only collect tribute and ask them to respond to the battle, and there was not much rebellion at that time!"

"This is all because the king at the time had the same concerns as you, so he kept those tribes from suddenly increasing or weakening in strength, and at the same time letting them send troops to serve in the capital, so that he could maintain an absolute military advantage, Therefore no one dares to rebel or oppose him!"

"…"

"Okay, I have to admit, you're right!" Theodosius nodded. She was right. Although it wasn't a brilliant idea, it was the best way to do it. .

When she said this, Theodosius was relieved. Maybe he thought so too, but he was never able to firm up this idea.

After all, the soldiers of the Lanyin Kingdom are not soldiers who only know how to work for money, and it doesn't matter who they help in wars. Once they have enough time to think about their wealth, they will know who they are loyal to.

They pursued glory, and they would not draw swords against their king just because of a few words from the general or deceit. This is for sure.

After making up his mind, Theodosius took a deep breath, smiled and said to Critido: "I didn't expect that my queen is also a person with both wisdom and courage, which is beyond my expectations!"

"Huh?" Kritidos leaned forward, squinting her eyes and looking at Theodosius: "If I were a man, I would definitely not be inferior to you. How dare you despise me like that, do you want to fight?"

"Fight?" Theodosius laughed: "Have you ever won a fight between us?"

"This time!" Kritidos stretched out her index finger: "I will win this time!"

The two walked to their dedicated training room together, only to hear the sound of crackling wooden swords colliding.

"Recognize yourself, you can't beat me!" Theodosius held the wooden sword to defend but not attack, deflecting every attack of Kritidos with ease, while laughing non-stop.

His wife's gnashing of teeth and her helplessness made him unable to stop.

He finally no longer tolerated Critidos' attack, and with a swing of the wooden sword, he easily knocked the sword out of Critidos' hand.

The bride, who had been married for less than half a year, immediately took a step back, raised her leg and kicked Theodosius' belly.

She originally wanted to kick Theodosius' chest, but she was only 1.78 meters tall, so she couldn't kick her husband's chest, who was 1.92 meters tall...

Theodosius didn't care, he hugged his wife's legs and lifted them up.

Hearing a thud, the two fell to the ground at the same time, followed by a sound of beating, showing the intensity of the battle.
