Chapter 1075: Combat Preparations
As soon as Bancrolo finished speaking, Jacob also knelt on one knee:
"Your Majesty! Please order the guardianship of Pandragorn to the death! We cannot give up the capital of our country to the rebels!"
Jacob, Bancrore - After these two leading figures of the "war pro-strife" took the lead in kneeling down and making a request to Ilsa, the other ministers of the "war pro-strife" also knelt down one after another.
"Your Majesty! Order to defend Pandragon to the death!"
"Your Majesty! We cannot give up Pandragon!"
"We have a chance of winning! There is a chance of winning!"
...
All the ministers of the "war pro-sects" fell to their knees and begged Ilsa.
At this moment, some changes occurred in the "maintaining sect" camp.
Some ministers of the "Master Removal" who had been hesitant from the beginning gritted their teeth and showed a firm look at them. Then they fell to the ground like those of the "Master Removal" and asked Ilsa to order the guardian Pandragon to death.
A large number of ministers rebelled into the camp of the "pro-war faction", which made Alphrede and others look surprised and angry.
These ministers who rebeled into the "pro-war faction" were either moved by the combat plan proposed by Bancrolo just now and felt that there was hope for defending Pandragorn.
Or it is because he is a fence-bearing man. After seeing Ilsa himself, he intends to fight to the end, and seeing the limelight of the "main war faction" overwhelms the "main war faction", in order to win Ilsa's favorability, he betrayed the "main war faction" camp without hesitation and defected to the embrace of the "main war faction".
Thanks to these rebellious ministers, the number of "pro-war factions" has exceeded the "pro-requisition factions" in one breath.
The strength and weakness of the two camps turned around in one breath.
Amid this wave of "request for battle" calls that were higher than the wave, a voice that was extremely inconsistent with the current call suddenly sounded:
"His Majesty!"
The master of this voice was Alfred.
Yalfreid also fell to his knees and whispered to Ilsa:
"Even if we adopt the tactics of Lord Bancrolo and launch street fighting with Allen's rebels in the heart of Pandragon, we may not be able to stick to the fact that Su Cheng led the Michael Knights to return to the aid!"
"If Su Cheng cannot lead the Michael Knights back in time, we will still be unable to avoid the city being destroyed!"
Yalfreid is a firm "restrained withdrawal."
He firmly believed that it was a fool to stick to Pandragon with such weak military strength.
Therefore, even though the current momentum of the "pro-war faction" has surpassed their "pro-requirement faction", he still unswervingly asked Ilsa to order the abandonment of Pandragon.
The voice of Alfred immediately aroused the glare of many "war-minded" ministers present.
But Alfreud took an ignorance of all these people.
He just stared straight at Ilsa in front of him.
Ilsa looked down at Alfreid, who was kneeling on the ground, and was silent.
After a while of silence, Ilsa's mouth raised slightly, revealing a faint smile.
"Alfreid, it is indeed as you said just now. Even if we adopt this combat plan of Bancrolo and launch street fighting with Allen's rebels in the heart of Pandragon, we may not be able to stick to it until Su Cheng leads the Knights of Michael back."
Ilsa's words made a hint of joy appear on Yalfred's face.
"but--"
However, Ilsa's "But" made the joy on Alfreid's face that had just appeared not long ago quickly faded.
"Pandragorn will not necessarily lose his despair when he defends Pandragorn. But if he abandons Pandragorn, Pandragorn will definitely lose his despair."
Ilsa's tone gradually filled with firmness.
"I will not hand over Pandragong to Allen's rebels in vain!"
After saying that, Ilsa raised her head and looked around the ministers around her.
Then—
"Defend Pandragorn to the death! Fight to the death with Allen's rebels!"
The shout Ilsa made when she was 12 years old is still frozen in history books thousands of years later.
It is precisely because of Ilsa's shout that the most intense street battle in the history of human cold weapons, the Battle of Pandragon, has begun.
...
...
The treasury door is open.
Mountains of money were pulled out of the treasury.
In addition to Qianshan, various military supplies such as armor, spears, swords, and military rations were also pulled out of the national treasury.
These money mountains are used to recruit labor.
The central government needs a large number of workers to carry out emergency construction of the defense line.
As for where the houses need to be demolished, where the streets need to be built, where the streets need to be widened, and where the streets need to be blocked... These things have been calculated by the military counselors led by Bancrore.
The reason why Pandragon's defense plan took so much time was that Bancro and others needed a lot of time to calculate the defense deployment and defense construction of the defense line.
Bancrolo and others had already formulated a detailed combat deployment, and as long as a large amount of labor is in place, construction can be started immediately.
As for a large amount of labor, it is easy to deal with.
Some citizens are still staying in Pandragon.
The central government directly transferred a large amount of money from the treasury and recruited directly from the citizens who were still in Pandragon.
The central government directly offered a sky-high price - a daily salary of 30,000 yuan. If you work hard, there will be a bonus.
Under such sky-high recruitment, the right-age personnel who come to apply for the job can be said to be cross-river.
In just one morning, the central government successfully hired 30,000 men and women.
This number of people is enough.
After successfully hiring 30,000 laborers, the central government stopped recruiting and then assigned the 30,000 people to Bancrolo for command of military counselors headed by Bancrolo.
Under the command of Bancrolo and others, the construction of the defense line was in full swing.
Bancrolo and his fellow work was also very simple - while there was still time, they should strengthen their defenses as much as possible before Allen's rebels came to the city.
In just a few days, the heart of Pandragon changed drastically.
The doors and windows of exquisite buildings were nailed to thick wooden boards, and the streets were equipped with fortifications...
The most prosperous central area in Pandragorn was gradually transformed into a military defense zone full of murderous spirits by Bancro and others...
In order to fight against the rebels of Pandragon, in addition to building a line of defense, the central government has many things to be busy with.
First, Pandragorn needs to be completely cleared.
In the near future, Pandragon will become a fierce battlefield.
If there are still citizens staying in Pandragorn, these citizens will inevitably be affected by the war.
Therefore, in order to ensure the safety of the citizens, Ilsa decided to leave all the citizens out of Pandragon except for the 30,000 people responsible for building the defense line.
