26 The King Has Guts Apparantely (1/2)
Lochlan had applied a policy of forced labor, mostly applied to the POWs and the prisoner that was kept on the prison. However, the treatment that had already violate the UN law of POW was far more lawful than the treatment that the kingdom gave. As a result, the GDP gone up by a huge margin.
Lance was looking at his small kingdom from the big manor's window, the airbase was full of traffic from the cargo planes that were sending the supplies across the whole airfield in the western region. Sharrington Family owned the western region although with some disagreement from the kingdom, but Lance didn't give a fuck until...
”Sir!” Lochlan the intel gatherer and manager stormed the door without any manner.
”MIND TO KNOCK FIRST WILL YA? WHAT IS IT?” Lance shouted from the window.
”I beg your pardon sir, but please look at this,” he said after he saluted as an apology and he gave Lance a picture of a convoy of carriages accompanied by knights escort, elf marksman, and some mages.
”Hmm, that's a typical royal convoy,” Lance asked him.
”Sir, Intercept and destroy?” Lochlan asked.
”Negative, Look closely, maybe the intel will say that its a bad idea,” Lance said as he pointed at the white carriage in the middle while pointing at a certain insignia.
”Hmm, that's a high royalty emblem. Could be a prince, king, or the prime minister himself,” Lochlan said.
”We take the chance, get the Blackhawk, let's meet them. If it is the prime minister, shoot on sight. I don't want any question from anyone questioning that order and we will occupy the whole country by force afterward. If it's the king, let's just make a ceasefire treaty with him, but I doubt that after I did something to his daughter,” Lance said as an AH-64 ”Apache” landed on a helipad on the manor. Lochlan called them as fast as he can.
”Ok and call Dimitri,” Lance said as he left his office with his cap on his head.
The courtyard had been modified so a helicopter can land there. Well, as usual, the pilot was no other than the friendliest face that you can see in the region; Dima.
”Hey, hey, this baby is armed and loaded, care to join?” Dima said as Lance wore his flight suit and the other apparatus.
”Sure, sure,” Lance climbed to the helicopter and it took off.
During the trip, Dima said, ”Hey, do you know that someone washed Admiral Andersen Coffee mug?”
”No shit, what happened to him?” Lance replied.
”Poor guy, he has to wash the whole flight deck by himself,” Dima replied.
”Haha, such a poor guy,” Lance answered as he steered the helicopter towards the royal convoy. Lochlan said that General Andrei had come as a delegation. However, the welcoming party came in the form of a roadblock of tanks and APC.
The knights that the soldier intentionally let go to spread the fear of the army. The result was a power superiority in both physicological and physical warfare, no knights that want to attack the green man on sight. Instead, the knights made an excuse with their passenger to turn around and return which was hilarious.
