Chapter 1280: Chapter 1280: Tiger Cavalry
Everton Davenport was very pleased.
As the saying goes, distance tests a horse’s strength; time reveals a person’s heart.
In the face of national crisis, The North Sea has already offended several sects.
He could see the fear in the eyes of many court officials, who were eager to sever ties with The North Sea.
To look out for themselves.
But out of respect for their own dignity, they had no choice but to stay put with gritted teeth.
Now.
The son-in-law who came to The North Sea when times were good, actually chose to stay resolutely when danger approached!
Everton Davenport felt that his initial decision was completely correct.
A fortune spent on horse bones.
“Son-in-law, I formally appoint you as General Whitaker, also holding the position of Right Minister, and at the same time, King of the South and commander of the royal guards.”
Everton Davenport patted Julius Reed on the shoulder with relief: “After such turmoil, The North Sea has lost many soldiers and officers, and the core loyalists have been nearly wiped out. You are taking command in a crisis, and you must not disappoint me.”
Looking around, Everton Davenport found that there were not many left whom he could trust.
He did not want to use any of the students of the Left or Right Ministers.
Yet, it so happened that those with capabilities and high positions were almost all related to the Left or Right Minister.
Only the son-in-law of The North Sea before him was clean and capable above all others.
Appointing the son-in-law as Right Minister would raise no objections from anyone.
“Thank you, Your Majesty!” Julius Reed clasped his hands and said: “After such a crisis, the outside world will definitely think The North Sea has been weakened. If we really want to protect ourselves, we must take the initiative to strike.”
“What do you mean, son-in-law?”
Everton Davenport thought about it and it seemed to make some sense.
There was chaos within the royal court, with countless important officials killed or wounded.
Even the two Prime Ministers, one civil and one military, had been killed.
At such a time, The North Sea is severely weakened, and the outside world would undoubtedly take advantage of the situation.
Even without Julius Reed saying it, Everton Davenport was also anxious about this problem.
“Strike!”
Julius Reed lifted his head, his face brimming with confidence: “Kill one to warn a hundred! If there are those who oppose The North Sea, exterminate them directly! If enough die, some will naturally become fearful.”
“But…”
Everton Davenport hesitated.
This meant that The North Sea would make countless enemies.
Once at the center of controversy, the difficulty of restoring the nation would greatly increase.
Similarly, this strategy was also the complete opposite of the initial state policy he had set.
“No one doesn’t cherish their own feathers.”
Julius Reed said with a light smile: “If you want to overthrow the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance and replace the Holy Master, The North Sea must show its edge! Otherwise, it will be the next Pendleton.”
He took a step forward and looked into Everton Davenport’s eyes: “Your Majesty, do you want to sit on that precious throne of Demarco Mount, or live in a quiet corner, comfortably spending your twilight years? Risk and opportunity exist side by side, take this chance to catch the sects off guard!”
“Demarco Mount is the place I have dreamed of for my entire life! I can never forget the embarrassment when I first went to Demarco Mount and saw the glittering toilets at the foot of the mountain!”
Everton Davenport’s voice grew excited, his hands clenched together uncontrollably!
Back then!
He left the affluent Ivory Bay and came to Demarco Mount, and for the first time felt inexperienced.
“At that time, The North Sea envoy, due to extreme nervousness, had diarrhea, and it took him a full half hour to run from the hall to the toilet. In the end, he found that he didn’t need to go inside.”
Everton Davenport found it difficult to admit that person was actually himself.
It was from that moment that the seeds of the war between nations began to sprout in his heart.
“Oh.”
Julius Reed responded perfunctorily.
Aren’t there helicopters beside the great hall?
Usually, everyone goes to the toilet by helicopter, surely no one is foolish enough to run there, right?
“However, I’m worried about the combat capability of The North Sea…” Everton Davenport was completely immersed in the excitement of realizing his dream, completely oblivious to the look of disdain on Julius Reed’s face.
Back then, the only ones who could enter the hall were Everton Davenport and his father.
His father sat and drank in the hall the whole time.
The person with diarrhea, no guessing needed to know who it was.
No wonder!
Years ago, it was said that an unknown liquid was found on the stone platform of the grand hall at Demarco Mount.
“The military strength of The North Sea needn’t be a concern.”
Julius Reed said with full confidence, “I am unmatched in this world.”
“Good!”
Everton Davenport nodded in satisfaction: “Ah, the recklessness of youth! I bestow upon you the title of National Protector Mage, granting you the authority to mobilize all troops within the territory of The North Sea! Moreover, you may execute first and report later, acting as you see fit!”
He needed such daring and resolute young people!
The North Sea, having been a fallen nation for many years, had many already accustomed to their comfortable, isolated existence.
The news of its impending restoration met with unanimous opposition in the court.
Had it not been for the opposition of the Left and Right Ministers, this matter might have been indefinitely shelved.
The North Sea urgently needed an infusion of new blood.
“I am willing to invest my own money and effort to recruit soldiers and generals. But rest assured, Your Majesty, the initial resolve of West Tower has never changed. It is the same now and will be in the future.”
Julius Reed gave a slight nod.
After Ian Jorden’s death is investigated, The North Sea must hold a state funeral.
But these words, when they fell into the ears of Everton Davenport, sounded like a pledge of loyalty.
“West Tower!”
He walked over and whispered into Julius Reed’s ear: “Come with me, I will show you the true power of The North Sea.”
“Hmm?” Julius Reed was somewhat surprised: “The power of The North Sea, haven’t I seen it all?”
“Of course!”
Everton Davenport’s face beamed with confidence: “The capabilities of The North Sea far exceed what you have seen.”
Having said that, he waved his hand at the court officials inside the hall: “Dismissed!”
“Yes!”
The surviving court officials, already in a state of disarray, quickly left upon hearing the order.
Soon only two people were left in the great hall.
“Do you think, with just these incompetents, The North Sea could be restored?” Everton Davenport walked to the side of the dragon throne, turned around, and looked at Julius Reed.
“No.”
Julius Reed shook his head and said: “Even a thin camel is bigger than a horse. The heritage of Demarco Mount is too deep-set to be easily shaken.”
“You dare to speak the truth!”
Everton Davenport pointed at him, laughing: “Among the courtiers of The North Sea, you are the only one who dares to tell the truth! Yes, how can we overthrow Demarco Mount with the people we have now? With mere words? Sadly, none of the courtiers dare to speak the truth.”
Crack!
No sooner had he finished speaking than he pressed his hands on the dragon throne and gave it a violent twist!
Boom!
A rumbling noise came from beneath their feet!
Bang!
At the entrance of the great hall, an iron gate fell vertically!
And all the windows were closed in an instant!
“What is this…”
Julius Reed frowned slightly, his eyes fixed on the ground.
“This is the true strength of The North Sea!”
Everton Davenport shouted with confidence and excitement!
“Right beneath this Heavenly Palace lies our Blue Rain Camp of The North Sea! The soldiers in the camp are the iron-blooded troops that I’ve cultivated over nearly ten years! Do you remember the Heavy Cavalry of The North Sea? That is, the brave warriors under the command of Town North King?”
“I’ve heard a little.”
Julius Reed nodded, but his eyes remained on the ground.
The Heavy Cavalry under the Town North King’s command were indeed fierce, having once posed as the Wolf Cavalry.
“That was just the cavalry eliminated by Blue Rain Camp! Now, young man! Come with me and witness The North Sea! Witness the Tiger Cavalry!”
Boom!
A huge hole appeared in front of the dragon throne.
