"The orc army we defeated this time has been confirmed to have come from a relatively powerful tribe, and was not a war order from the general mobilization of the orc kingdom. Considering that the orc kingdom is a tribal system, they do not have a mature bureaucracy, let alone Without the usual administrative channels up and down, this will make their actions, especially when it comes to some major issues, their high-level responses will be slower.
Although I doubt where the orcs got the news about this dispatch, and what kind of news they got. But now at least one thing is certain. After we won this battle, the orc tribe in front of us was no longer enough to pose a threat to us. "
In the commander-in-chief¡¯s mansion of the Northwest Fortress, Chen Daolin stood in front of his desk, holding the desk with both hands and speaking loudly.
Montoya's reaction was the most enthusiastic. He immediately responded loudly: "Yes, according to our torture, this tribe has at most three to four thousand young adults, which means that this is their full war potential. And this time we Killed nearly half of their troops so that they will not dare to attack us again! They don¡¯t have any more troops.¡±
"Montoya is right." Chen Daolin nodded: "This is a good thing and a bad thing. The good thing is that this tribe no longer has the power to pose a threat to us. But the bad thing is With such a disastrous defeat, this tribe will definitely not be able to hide the news. This The news will be reported to the top brass of the Orc Kingdom"
"So, what you are saying is that maybe next time we will face the royal army of the Orc Kingdom? A larger and more elite army?"
It was Baron Pierre who spoke.
Chen Daolin hesitated for a moment and said slowly: "I'm not sure, I can only make a guess. Maybe our victory this time will scare them and make the top brass of the Orc Kingdom worry. After all, if we show great power, , will create the illusion that they may not dare to easily provoke a war."
"Isn't this the purpose of our sending troops this time?" Baron Pierre frowned.
Chen Daolin said: "There is another possibility I'm worried. What if the top brass of the Orc Kingdom gets information about us again I have always suspected that someone secretly conveyed our information to them and revealed the information about the northwest fortress. False and true. If this is the caseeven if we win this battle, the top brass of the Orc Kingdom will probably raise troops to invade. After all, the temptation of the northwest fortress is irresistible to them."
¡°Then wouldn¡¯t our fight be meaningless?¡±
"No!" Chen Daolin slapped the table: "This battle is of great significance! First, we have trained our team through actual combat. An army that has never seen blood cannot be called a true elite! Secondly? The victory of this battle will make the top brass of the Orc Kingdom hesitate and doubt. Even if they send troops, it will take some time to verify and explore the news. It has bought us precious time."
Having said this, Chen Daolin deliberately looked at everyone present - all his team members - with a serious look. Then, he slowly said: "Now, we need to make a decision! Before making this decision, I hope that Let¡¯s hear everyone¡¯s opinions and ideas.¡±
After a pause, he said word by word: "Northwestern Fortress, should we give up or hold on!"
¡¡
A young attendant ran quickly up the stairs. When he ran to the second floor, he almost fell. He got up, ignoring his red knees. He quickly ran to the corridor on the second floor and ran towards the largest room on the west side.
The warrior guard guarding the door saw the urgent letter in the attendant's hand, nodded, and stepped aside to open the door.
The attendant took a deep breath. He knocked carefully on the door, and then the door was opened, and a young officer came out: "What's wrong? His Excellency the Duke has already given the order. Don't disturb her!"
"The news I just received is from the Northwest Fortress. Your Excellency has said that as long as there is news about the Northwest Fortress, you must report it as soon as possible."
"Okay." The officer took the letter from the attendant and nodded to him: "Well done, you are doing your job very well."
When the letter was presented to the table, Du Weiwei was standing in front of the wall, meditating on a huge map on the wall. There was also the middle-aged noble man in the room.
Except for the crackling sound of wood burning in the fireplace, the room was silent.
Du Weiwei heard the footsteps behind him, turned around, frowned and said solemnly: "What's wrong?"
The officer whispered: "Sir, this is news from the northwest fortress."
??Du Weiwei¡¯s expression softened a little - even though he is young,It was only after she led her army to easily put down the rebellion of the Northwest Army that the young duchess truly established her prestige among the family.
Du glanced at the officer slightly and said calmly: "Read it to me."
"Yes!" The officer stood up straight, tore open the envelope sealed with lacquer, took a look at it, and said, "It'sa personal letter from the Chief Steward Fiona."
"Well, let's read it." Du turned around slightly and continued to stare at the map on the wall.
"On December 7, Darling Chen ordered his troops to go north to meet the invading orcs. Montoya led a thousand cavalry as the vanguard, and Darling Chen personally led three thousand Chinese troops to respond. The northwest fortress was ready to evacuate. ¡¡±
As soon as the officer read this, Du sighed slightly: "Okay, don't read it anymore!"
The officer was startled, hesitated, put the letter away, put it on the table, saluted, and slowly exited the study.
The thick carpet and the roaring fire in the fireplace made the room warm and even stuffy.
Facing the map on the wall, Du Weiwei was silent for a long time, then sighed quietly: "He chose to send troops after all."
The middle-aged noble man behind him seemed to have just breathed a sigh of relief and said slowly: "This Lord Darling Chen has a tough and unyielding temperament. It is not surprising that he would do such a thing with such a temperament. It is just our plan." ¡¡±
"The plan remains as usual. Send another group of people to the royal city of the Orc Kingdom to spread the news that Darling Chen defeated an army of Orcs, and at the same time spread some news about Darling Chen's strength. Well, it can be said to be an exaggeration. Some."
"Is it still the same as before? Let the orcs think that we Roland people are falling into civil strife?" The middle-aged nobleman frowned.
"Yes, but it will be more believable to include Shiloh's usurpation of the throne. It will make those orcs feel that they have an opportunity. Well, the current king of the orc kingdom is Bronze Tiger, this old tiger In the past, I fought with my ancestor Du Wei, he was a seasoned fellow, and he will definitely be moved when he gets the news."
"Are youso sure that Darling Chen has won the battle? Miss Fiona's letter only talked about his sending troops. Do you want to wait for Miss Fiona's follow-up letter?"
"No need to wait." Du shook his head slightly: "This time it is only a tribe of orcs who are instigating. They will only send one or two thousand troops at most. If this order is successful, if even one or two thousand orcs cannot defeat it, then it will be simply It¡¯s just a joke. He must have won the battle, Fiona¡¯s letter will arrive in the next two days.¡±
The middle-aged nobleman hesitated for a moment: "Sir, I am still a little worried. Will this Darling Chen become a variable in our plan? After all the orcs going south is the most important piece of our entire puzzle. If he has been If you block it"
"He can't stop him." Du Weiwei turned around and glanced at the middle-aged noble man: "I've heard about this Bronze Tiger guy. He has a very cruel temper. Either don't do it, or make it big. ! If it gets the news we spread, then with Bronze Tiger's temperament, it will definitely mobilize for war! By then the strength of the orcs going south will be hundreds of thousands! Even Darling Chen is a holy master .Can¡¯t stop it.¡±
The middle-aged nobleman thought for a while and said: "I still think, if you want, I will go to the northwest fortress in person"
"No need." Du shook his head slightly: "It's useless if you go. Darling Chen is a very tough guy. He won't obey us. Well let him suffer a little."
"Youreally plan to marry him?"
The middle-aged nobleman suddenly asked a very abrupt question.
"After the war is over, I will marry him." Du shook his head slightly: "I am a woman after all, and the family needs an heir."
Turn around. He raised his eyelids and glanced at the middle-aged noble man: "Is there any news on the Snow Mountain?"
"No, I sent letters many times, but only got one reply, and it was from the little dragon. He didn't say anything. The reply was just a simple sentence, saying I understand."
Du narrowed his eyes slightly: "Something happened in Daxue Mountain! Maybe that person is really gone!"
¡¡
¡¡¡¡
"Did Lingchen win?!"
Spann's eyes widened.
Standing in the commander-in-chief of Mulan City, in front of Spann and Panin, Ade seemed a little uncomfortable.
The young priest felt that General Panin, the young Duke of the empire, had eyes like swords in front of him, almost piercing him.
"Yes, our master has led his army back to the northwest fortress. We annihilated five thousand orc troops in this battle."
"Adxin's nonsense, he multiplied his victory five times in one breath.
Panin sneered: "Why didn't you say that you annihilated fifty thousand orcs!"
Ade scratched his hair and said with a wry smile: "I wanted to say that too, but Mr. Darling Chen told me that that would be too exaggerated and not believable."
"How many orcs have you killed?" Spann asked anxiously.
Ade thought for a while, raised a finger, and then said loudly: "But you can't say that in the battle report, you must write five thousand!"
"Oh?" Panin sneered: "Then why did you tell us the truth?"
A De thought for a while: "Master Darling Chen said that if you ask, I can tell you the truth, but it must be written on paper as five thousand, and it won't be enough if it's one less."
Spann was a little annoyed and wanted to say something, but he kept his mouth shut - after all, it was true that Darling Chen won the battle after all.
"What does your master want from me when he sends you here?"
Panin squinted his eyes.
"Darling, Mr. Chen said, you know." Ade smiled bitterly and said this sentence - indeed he only knew this sentence. Before he came, Chen Daolin had said this sentence exactly, telling him to tell him To Panin.
"I understand?" Panin glared.
But then, a thought flashed through Paning's mind. In an instant, he seemed to understand something and Chen Daolin's intention.
"Okay, you go down, my attendant will take you to rest and give you the best reception."
Panin waved his hand, and Ade left with a smile on his face.
"What does Darling Chen mean?" Spann asked impatiently.
"What else can you mean? The lion is opening his mouth to test me." Panin sneered: "He finally understands that we need him now! We need him to help us defend the northwest fortress! So, as long as he wins, he will He can ask for benefits from us. It¡¯s just that he couldn¡¯t grasp where my bottom line was, so he simply didn¡¯t offer any clear conditions. What he meant by this sentence was let me figure it out!"
"This is a bit difficult to handle." Spann said with a worried look on his face: "What should I do? If the benefits are less I'm worried that he will be dissatisfied. If he gives up his career, it will be a bad thing. But if it is given Too manyI worry he's too greedy."
"I happen to have an idea." Panin laughed: "I have a benefit for him. I believe this benefit will make him uncomfortablebut he will definitely accept it!"
"benefit?"
Panin said lightly: "I heard that His Majesty Shiloh has pardoned all of Darling Chen's crimes and restored all his previous titles from the late emperor? If I remember correctly, in addition to having the title of court mage, this guy In addition, it seems that the late emperor also gave him the noble title of court knight."
"Yes, but it is just an honorary title, and it is for life, not a hereditary nobility. What's more, there is no fiefdom, it is just a title."
Panin laughed: "Here, help me draft an official document! One copy will be sent directly to the palace to His Majesty Shiloh. Well, by the way, a copy will be sent to the Mingfa Military Department! You decide how to use the words, and I will tell you the general idea. to write.¡±
"Okay." Spann immediately walked to the table, spread out a piece of paper, picked up a quill, and dipped it in ink.
"Well the general idea is I, Panin Garonen, the Minister of Military Affairs in the Northwest, reported that the orcs led an army to invade our country a few days ago. There are civilians, the magician Darling Chen, who is enthusiastic about serving the country, leading his tribe and servants. Rise up against the enemy, fight bloody battles to serve the country, defeat the orcs, win a great victory, and destroy the enemymore than five thousand!"
When talking about this number, Panin gritted his teeth hard and continued slowly: "As the minister in charge of military affairs in the northwest, I was deeply relieved to hear that there was a patriotic and capable person under my rule. I hereby invite him. Merit. I suggest that these people with extraordinary abilities and outstanding talents should be recruited to serve the country and recommended to high positions to praise their merits and inspire patriotism in the world. Therefore, I suggest that they be rewarded generously for their merits. .
"I heard that Chen has the title of court knight and is considered a noble. It is better for our emperor to grant him the title of noble and grant him territory." To make his noble title worthy of the name, this will shock the imperial nobility and allow Darling Chen to continue to serve the country.
¡°I privately believe that all the land thirty miles north of Luowa City, where Daring Chen lives, can be granted to this person"
 When Panin said this, Spann's face suddenly changed, his hand shook, and with a snap, the quill fell on the paper!
He suddenly turned his head, stared at Panin, and shouted: "Panin, you are crazy!! Do you want His Majesty the Emperor to seal the land thirty miles north of Luowa City to the Darlingchendang territory?! Thirty miles !!The northwest fortress is covered!!¡±
Panin bit his lip: "I'm not crazy! I just want to do this!!"
