Wizard From Afar

"They're here."

In the hall of the Knights' regiment, Connold...or Connaught I just threw the letterhead on the table. , Looking at the dukes with different looks and Brandon who turned up without being invited, lightly opened the mouth and said.

There is no extra explanation.

But everyone knew what was going on—or at this time, it was possible for the emperor to summon all the dukes for one thing.

"Which direction?" The black hair wizard lifts the head, with a surprised expression: "How many?"

Corona Master and Eboden’s night watchman did not get it Intelligence, how did Connold get the news about the Azores?

In the next second, the answer will be revealed.

"I don't know."

Slowly seated, Connold propped his elbows on the table and looked towards Loren through the crossed fingers: "This letter... A letter received by the Holy Cross Church in Boden a few days ago. Because the sender was too special, the church immediately sent a cavalry to run around the night, and sent it to a military camp in Western Sacrament in the early morning, and then sent it to me. "

"There is only one sentence in the letter...they are here."

The dukes looked at each other in blank dismay, but Corona looked thoughtful, as if remembering what.

"So, the key is the identity of the messenger." Yuli Wiertz was the first to react, looking towards Connold with scorching eyes: "This person... is very special?"

Connold is heavily nodded, and his meaningful eyes turn to the black hair wizard: "An old friend of Duke Loren Torino, a devout believer in the Holy Cross."

"oh? "The Duke of Nolan Oud of Arles raised the corners of his mouth and glanced at the black hair wizard with his right eye: "What is his name?"

"He has abandoned his identity a long time ago, and he is still the last remaining empire today. A'Sword of Oath' Knight."

Corona sighed and took the topic: "Almost three years ago, this pious Knight received a man from the Emperor Mission——Go to the Kingdom of Azores and find out."

"Three years ago?!" Ruben broke out, looking shocked.

"Yes, it was three years ago." Corona calmly nodded: "The year the ocean-going fleet was killed."

The voice fell, and the hall was silent again. .

Dukes with different expressions-whether it is Sarika who likes to fool around or Yuri who is always calm, including Brandon who has not spoken, their expressions are not much stronger than that of the shocked Ruben.

Three years ago... Could it be said that His Majesty Eckhart II had anticipated the situation three years ago? !

This...even if it’s true, it doesn’t make sense-if he had predicted it, why wait until today, three years later, and why would he be assassinated by the Azores? Take your life from your own palace, steal the iron crown? !

Still, these all are part of his plan, even his own death...

This kind of horrible thought that once hovered in the mind of the black hair wizard, now At the same time, it appeared in everyone's mind and showed on their faces.

The silent Brandon never said a word, as if this meeting and event had nothing to do with him.

"We must do something, otherwise this important information will be wasted for nothing, and a brave vow, Knight, will be exhausted for three years of hard work." Connold said solemnly:

"The most important thing...If you can't keep them out of the country, you must fight them within the country."

The black hair wizard that is completely motionless, Looking at Connold's extremely serious expression.

Within the country? No... For Connold and Desalion Imperial Family, the result is far more terrifying than that.

Once they can’t stop the Azores’ invasion offensive "outside the country", regardless of whether the opponent’s main attack direction is Lotaire or Eboden, their next invasion direction will definitely be Western Sacrament. ——The emperor's territories where Imperial Capital is located, and the transportation hub that maintains the normal operation of the Sackland Empire.

Make good use of the important traffic roads between the Jewel River and the Empire. The next step is that the Azores can maintain the siege of the Imperial Capital. Boye launched the next offensive, and several duchy could only fall into a passive counterattack, and could no longer gather forces equivalent to the Azores.

Even more terrifying...Because of the superiority in transportation and range of troops, they can not only divide the duchy's army by calm, but also looting, destroying, massacring... further weakening the resistance of each duchy until Can only curl up in the castle to protect himself.

The best result like that was that the Empire was divided into two, which was barely able to keep a small part of the southern part of East Sacrament.

If the war progressed to that point, it would be no different to the empire and the Imperial Family of Desalion.

As for whether the Azores can do this...At least no one here will doubt whether the Azores can compete with the empire, or even more. Strong strength.

At this step, Loren can finally understand why Connold would win Nolan Erde, use almost "Brandonian" means to oppress the dukes acknowledge allegiance to him, and so happy and Make deals on your own.

From start to finish, he is the only one who has not concealed and lied.

Everything...is for the Sackland Empire.

For the benefit of De Salion.

"The enemy will launch an invasion at any time, but we can't determine the exact direction and time." Ulrich Wiltz frowned, his expression becoming more solemn: "Is there not even any countermeasures? Is it?"

"It’s not just that, the situation is much more serious than this." Nolan Erd grinned, his expression was very playful: "It’s not that there is no countermeasure, but I don’t even have the power to counteract it!"

"I believe all of you... have almost experienced an assassination, right? I don’t know what is going on in your family, but Arles is really messy; the rebellion The thieves were rampant all around; I cut two Uncles last month, barely stabilizing my castle and suppressing the momentum of the rebellion."

Salika hugged her shoulders, coldly snorted:" It’s almost the same with Boye. There are too many traitors who refuse to accept our Jonah family. If they don’t get rid of them, the Hussars of the Big Green Sea will not even be able to enter East Sacrament!"

"Illman's situation is better, we are less impacted." Yuli lifts the head, looking towards Connold with a serious expression: "But the forces are relatively scattered, and it will take at least three months to gather. "

"The Lothar army has been assembled and can be mobilized at any time!"

Ruwen raised his head boldly, and slapped his "peng!" slap on the table:" Thirty thousand troops are assembled in Eagle Fort, as long as they need it, they can fight across borders at any time!"

"Thirty thousand troops are assembled at Eagle Fort. Your logistics pressure should be very heavy, right?" Yuli worried. Take a look at him: "This should be a big burden for Lotaire."

"It's okay, it's okay! The harvest in the valley this year is very good, and the food is not a problem for the time being. !" Lu Wen waved his hand nonchalantly:

"Furthermore; even if there is not enough food, Loren and his joint Chamber of Commerce are absolutely..."

"cough cough cough cough cough ——!!!"

The black hair wizard had a violent cough, and finally overwhelmed the second half of his sentence-Ruben this guy... Lothair and How could Byrne negotiate such a thing privately, how could he say it in front of the emperor? !

"So...the only ones who can assemble enough troops right now are Sackland, Lothar and Byrne."

Connold, who pretended not to hear, was just cold. Staring at Loren who stopped speaking, "The rest... will take at least three months."

The dukes with different expressions pondered for a long time, and finally they were very tacitly nodded.

As for the mercenary group hired by Eboden...the kind of "money-oriented" army, simply not everyone's consideration.

"If this is the case, then we need to develop a detailed defense plan to assemble enough power for the empire to buy time, and at the same time prevent the Azorean armies from invading the empire's hinterland as much as possible."

The expressionless Connold’s voice is firm and steady: "On the one hand, we need to mobilize enough supplies and deploy them to support this war; on the other hand, we also need to be as soon as possible. Tap out their respective war potentials."

"As the emperor and the leader of the Royal Sword Knight regiment, I ask everyone here to work together to contribute all of your strength to this war. To this end..."

p>

"Bang--!"

The harsh sound interrupted Emperor Connold's words.

The dukes who startedled together, looked towards the direction of the sound source at the same time-the silent Brandon Desalion had stood up from his seat.

His Royal Highness...or the current Crown Prince and Prince of East Sackland...indifferent looking towards Emperor Connold, with deep impatience in his blood-red eyes:

" The 30,000 people from Legion are already on their way, and they will arrive at Imperial Capital in two months at the latest to fight for you and your empire;"

"And before that, I will go to the torch Fengshan, ask the giant dragons there to ask for the alliance-if 3 months later I can come back alive, or intact...the only thing left is a pile of excrement and bone scum...you can I know that I succeeded."

"Now...Please allow me to retire first, after all, time is not and the others, and the giant dragon is not and the others; goodbye, your majesty!"

After finishing speaking, Brandon who took a deep breath turned and left without looking back, and walked out of the door in large strides.

"Brandon!"

The majestic and loud voice stopped the "new" Crown Prince who was about to walk out of the gate.

"It's not'my empire', it's'our empire'." The expressionless Connold said solemnly, staring meaningfully at Brandon's back:

"Don't forget, you are also the son of Eckhart, and you are also a Desalion."

Slightly paused Brandon rushed out of the hall even more hastily.

The atmosphere has become more embarrassing...

In the silence, Corona, who has always been quiet, turned his gaze to the black hair wizard, and Loren looked a little hairy.

"cough cough cough...Although the enemy's exact attack time and direction are not yet clear, the general situation is still certain." The black hair wizard had to brace oneself to stand up and stand up for Brandon's actions. To ease the atmosphere:

"The first is the direction of attack-along the imperial coastline, there are only two ports and coasts that can provide large-scale fleet landings, one is Eboden, and the other is the foggy moon court of the ancient wood forest. …The rest can only berth fishing boats and small merchant ships at most, not to worry."

"The former as everyone knows is the most important coastal port of the empire, and it can connect to the important transportation channel of the Gem River. ; Eboden itself is also not a large fortress, which is considered a weak point of attack;"

"The Fog Moon Court is deep in the ancient wood forest. Although it can provide a large number of battleships to park, it wants to attack through the forest. Lothar, the only exit is Deep Limburg, it is difficult to make the army unfold and launch a full-line offensive-it can be said that one man must be the gate, and no one can open."

"So the easiest way , Is to concentrate all the main forces that can be found at the moment to gather in Eboden to defend the landing operations of the Azores fleet; then gather a small number of elite and a large number of reserve forces in Deep Forest, and build the entire count leader into a castle as the core The fortress group and the Defensive Array land to resist the attacks of the elves."

"Finally...Although the ocean-going fleet has been wiped out, the empire still has a small number of battleships and ocean-going ships; they can be used to carry a small number of elite... such as Talk about the giant monster hunters in Arles; launch a raid on the back of the Azores invasion army to harass their logistics."

"In this way, you can accomplish your majesty’s basic goal... Outside the country."

Clear and accurate characters echoed in the hall.

Uli Wirtz’s expression is dignified, and Ruben’s face is as it should be by rights;

Salika curls up her mouth and unconsciously straightens her waist. Chest; Nolan Erd raised his eyebrows and smiled playfully.

Corona, who was smiling, turned his gaze to Connold, who was expressionless beside him.

Everyone is waiting for the answer from His Majesty the Emperor.

"The only problem...Eboden." Connold narrowed his eyes and asked coldly: "Eboden's defense system is not enough to withstand a large-scale landing raid."

"If I were the commander of the Azores, I could completely blockade the city with a small amount of troops, and then the remaining main force would bypass your city wall and defense lines...If that's the case, what should you do?"

"First of all, Eboden is the city they must conquer."

"Secondly, they are impossible to blockade Eboden with very little force-this is a port city with only the surrounding area. Some port cities;" the black hair wizard shook his head: "As long as Eboden is not captured for a day, their fleet will not be able to make a large-scale landing at the border of the empire."

"As for the very few who landed forcibly... I believe that there is an imperial invulnerable, indestructible and impregnable'black city wall'. This kind of problem is simply not a problem."

"In other words, the army attacking Eboden will be of unprecedented scale. Ten thousand or even one hundred thousand is possible?" Yuli Wiertz sternly said:

"With such a force, how do we defend the city?"

"It's very simple." Loren shrugged Shrug:

"We can't keep it."
