Chapter 93 Mobilize the Army!
Kyle sent two orders in a row. The servants in the palace immediately rushed out of the palace.
Not long after, the left guard’s Lieutenant-general, Johnny, was ordered to come to the palace.
“I, Johnny, pay my respects to His Majesty the King!”
Kyle immediately turned his head and looked over.
Johnny was still a young man. He had been working under General William and had been promoted to a higher position over the past few years.
Kyle immediately waved his hand and signaled for the servants to close the palace doors. They stood guard outside the well.
“I called you into the palace today because I have a task for you.”
Johnny immediately bowed to Kyle.
“Please share with me your ideas, Your Majesty. I will not let you down!”
Kyle took a few steps forward and showed him the map in his palace.
He pointed at the location of India and said, “I’m going to send a group of emissaries in the name of escorting Xuan Moster to India. They’ll set off all the way, take the western region Silk Road, and take a detour south to India.
“And this group of emissaries will definitely need someone to protect them, so I’m going to mobilize 5,000 troops, all of which should be elite soldiers.
“You’ll be the commander, and you’ll be in charge of all the matters related to this trip to India!”
When Johnny heard this, he was instantly shocked.
“Your Majesty, mobilizing 5,000 elite soldiers to India, could it be that you’re preparing for a battle with them? If that’s the case, then I’ll join the battle and make sure I succeed greatly!”
Kyle instantly shook his forehead.
D*mn it, why was this kid always thinking about war?
He immediately patted the map as he scrunched his eyebrows.
“Johnny, I am not asking you to go to war. These five thousand elite soldiers have another purpose.
“You just need to remember a few points. One is to ensure that not a single soldier is missing
“Second, I want you to lead this army and patrol around the countries of the western region. Tell them to behave themselves.
“There’s no need to start a war, but I must show that I, Lolan, am strong and have a strong attitude. Over the years, some wild countries of the western region have been unable to sit still. So I wish to humble them down.
“Third, I will mix some people with other uses among these 5,000 elite soldiers.
“Including those who are good at drawing maps, a caravan of items, and some secret personnel who won’t return to Lolan but stay in India.
“I’ll have someone prepare a list of these people for you. You’ll know what to do after.
“In short, you must remember one thing. You’re not allowed to reveal your real purpose and overall plan to anyone. Just do as I say.
“As long as you do it well, you’ll be rewarded handsomely when you return. If you make any mistakes, you’ll be punished greatly!”
Without even thinking about it, Johnny directly half-knelt on the ground and replied, “I, Johnny, obey your orders!”
As soon as he shouted his promise, his mind suddenly came to a realization.
He could understand why His Majesty the King wanted to patrol around the countries of the western region to show off their strength.
However, he mentioned that some of them will stay in India and not return… What the h*ll did that mean?
Lolan was not planning to go to war with India, right?
However, he was a lieutenant-general, and the King of Lolan had clearly ordered that it was not a war, so he only needed to follow the instructions.
Therefore, Johnny did not ask any more questions, but only silently expressed his order.
After Johnny half-knelt to answer, Kyle looked at the map for a while. Then he said to him, “I have already prepared 5,000 soldiers for you in the northern camp. I will give you two days to make all the preparations.
“After two days, the army will immediately set off to escort Xuan Moster to India. Do you understand?”
Johnny immediately bowed again to show that he understood the meaning behind it. Then, he quickly left the palace. Looking at Johnny’s back, Kyle leaned back on the chair and pondered on several things. Then, he shouted to the outside of the hall and called a few servants in.
“Tell the Ministry of Industrials to have a group of people who know how to draw maps in two days. I will personally teach them what I know!
“As for you, prepare the carriages and horses and accompany me to the northern campsite!”
What Kyle did was, of course, to carefully arrange the two most important arrangements and select some people who were loyal to Lolan so that he could carry out his next plan.
For two whole days, the various departments of Lolan were operating at a high speed.
As it involved the mobilization of troops and horses, and it was also an order from the king, the Ministry of Industrials and the northern camp were quite cooperative. The officials did not speak casually about the issue of the extreme mobilization of troops.
Therefore, in the two days, Kyle was very tight-lipped and arranged everything directly himself.
On the morning of the third day, Lorne, who had been staying in the tavern every day, woke up early for the first time.
He was prepared to go and see what Xuan Moster looked like. He was a famous figure in history. Although he was not interested in Buddhism, he was still interested in that man.
Therefore, he woke up early in the morning to sneak a look. However, as soon as he was about to open the door, Lorne was dumbfounded.
This was because he was told that the doors should be sealed, and he was not allowed to enter or leave at will. He had to be certified as an official.
Moreover, the area of the seal was very large. Anyway, Lorne could not see what was happening on the other side of the door.
This made Lorne a little confused. Why was this area sealed?
Was it because the westward journey of Xuan Moster overlapped with some major event, which resulted in such an impact?
Lorne really did not understand what was happening. He recollected his knowledge and thought that he had remembered the wrong history. He wanted to leave to find out what was happening.
However, the imperial court had sealed off the area. That was a strict rule. He had no other choice. Therefore, he could only hold onto the feeling of regret and return to his room.
Actually, Lorne did not know that this was another arrangement by Kyle.
He had deliberately sealed off the entire area and secretly mobilized the northern camp army so that the entire Lolan City would not know that he had sent an army along with Xuan Moster.
In this way, there was no need to worry the citizens or for Lorne to suspect that Kyle was the King of Lolan.
After all, Lorne had just mentioned the matter of mobilizing the army a few days ago, and Kyle had immediately followed suit. Anyone else would have had doubts about this close coincidence.
