Lin Fenghan nodded towards the door, and the young guard said loudly: "Lord Baron, there are three middle-aged men outside the city hall asking to see you. The leader is in his thirties. He asked me to tell you that he is here to repay you. Father saved him out of kindness, you will definitely regret it if you don't see him."
"ah!"
Lin Fenghan was stunned for a moment, then waved quickly and said: "Let him come in quickly! I'll wait for him in my office."
"yes!"
Lin Fenghan looked at the leaving attendants and said to everyone: "You discuss it first, I will go meet this mysterious visitor first."
"oh!"
"Um!"
Wesley, Captain of the Guards Cavalry Brigade, sighed and sighed: "I have a hunch that the person meeting the Baron this time must be related to the battle we are facing. Perhaps the time for the turning point of the current battle has arrived."
"Shh!"
"Wesley, don't keep pretending to be a magician. Don't sigh at military and political meetings with your expression. We don't like superstition."
"Yeah!"
¡¡
The indifferent and writing-like looks from everyone made the thin Wesley have to stop speaking and silently watched Lin Fenghan leave.
The stone house office is located on the east side of the castle. Lin Fenghan is sitting behind the large and heavy desk. Outside the tall windows on the east side, bright yellow clouds are floating in the sky, casting shadows in the house. Soft colors.
Crunch!
The door opened gently, and a middle-aged man in his thirties, slender and wearing a yellow and white robe, with an energetic face, an elegant demeanor and a small beard walked in.
"Baron, the guests have arrived." The young attendant said softly.
"I understand, you go down! Let Lina come and make some tea." Lin Fenghan's eyes stayed on the middle-aged man, and he couldn't help but waved with great affection.
"yes!"
Attendant Chris nodded lightly and walked out. There were only two people left in the large house.
Lin Fenghan looked at the middle-aged man standing in front of him with a soft expression and a smile, and said softly: "Sir, I heard that you know my father and have a relationship with him. Can you introduce yourself and your purpose? "
"hehe!"
The middle-aged man looked at Lin Fenghan for a while, then shook his head gently and said, "Xiaoyi Liuyun, your memory is really bad, no wonder. You were only seven years old when I saw you."
The middle-aged man paused, walked to Lin Fenghan's table, and said seriously: "I am Eumenes, your father saved me 10 years ago, when I was robbed by pirates on a merchant ship and almost died. Fortunately, your father He led the caravan through Dancing Dolphin Bay and took us to the Elante Islands to rest. At that time, a group of thirty or forty of us met you as a child."
"ah!"
Lin Fenghan stood there blankly, lowered his head and said slowly: "Mr. Eumenis, I'm really sorry. When I was a child, my father often led caravans to cruise around the Elantes Islands and do business. He helped and rescued too many people. , I can¡¯t even remember clearly.¡±
"it does not matter."
Eumenes smiled lightly, waved his hand and said, "I will never forget your father's kindness to me. I am here to give you some information and help you tide over the difficulties."
"Ahem!"
Eumenis' face straightened and he said seriously: "Formal introduction, I am the clerk of Lindong City Hall. This time His Majesty King Lighthamon ordered Prince Reinhardt to lead the royal family and northern troops to go south to attack you. Dongcheng is one of the important nodes for the collection of royal troops and supplies, and I am honored and honored to participate in the logistics work of the royal troops and become one of the secretaries in charge of supplies in Lindong City."
"Hey! I have to say that although His Majesty the King does have the intention to attack you, he will never do it so early. If you hadn't plundered Yuriwan City and insulted the female members of the royal family, then this battle would have been delayed. In three or four months.¡±
Youmenis paused, looked at Lin Fenghan's increasingly dark expression, and said quickly: "This troop gathering is very urgent. Various materials from the royal treasury also arrived at Lindong City by water and land, and various northern nobles dispatched He sent some of his own troops and private soldiers, but Viscount Ullari and his relatives and friends in Uri Bay City were very angry and sent out a large number of troops. It is expected that a huge force of more than 30,000 people will be dispatched from their territory."
"The royal family sent 20,000 troops. Due to the emergency situation, the nobles around the capital did not have much food reserves, so they only gathered more than 24,000 people. Including the royal family's fleet and the sailing fleets of various nobles, the total number is more than 450 warships The total number of sailors, oarsmen, and soldiers on these battleships is nearly 17,000.?Coupled with the five to six hundred merchant ships and fishing boats that transported soldiers, the royal family mobilized 120,000 people for this purpose, of which more than 90,000 were militiamen and soldiers. "
"ah!"
"What?"
Lin Fenghan was startled, his eyebrows furrowed in fear, he patted the table and said in disbelief.
"More than 100,000 people were mobilized, more than 70,000 army troops, nearly 17,000 navy troops, main forces from all over Elant, urban defense forces, security forces, and militia forces totaling less than 60,000 people. How could they mobilize so many people? This is too much. Look up to me now!"
"no way!"
Eumenis looked at Lin Fenghan with anxious eyes and said with admiration: "Who knows that your previous achievements were too tough? Both Duke Brant and His Majesty King Letham regard you as a very tenacious person. Opponent, in order to deal with your more than 20,000 elite troops that have gradually grown through the baptism of war, His Majesty Lighthamon, Prime Minister Plantu, Prince Reinhardt, and Duke Brandt all agreed that more than twice the number of troops must be dispatched. Only then can I completely defeat you.¡±
After hearing this, Lin Fenghan took a deep breath, quickly calmed down, looked at Eumenis and said: "Do you know what organizations their troops belong to? How many elite regular soldiers are there? Temporarily recruited militiamen How many veterans are there? How many cavalry are there?"
Youmenis smiled lightly, took out a yellow paper notebook from his arms, and said seriously: "These are the data I investigated. Some of them are biased, but the general information is consistent with reality."
"In order to deal with you, His Majesty the King has mobilized half of the Royal Capital's elite Guards Corps, half of the Armas First Army, and the Armas Second Army. 240 warships of various types, more than 24,000 elite army personnel, and 12,000 elite navy personnel. people, including more than 3,400 elite cavalry."
"Viscount Julali and his relatives and friends gathered together more than 30,000 troops, including more than 8,000 regular elite city defense troops, more than 7,000 noble knights and elite retainers, and 15,000 light-armed militia veterans. Among these people , knights, and cavalry, there are at least 2,000 people."
"Although the other nobles in the north mobilized a small number of troops, only 21,000, they were all the most elite regular troops, and more than 2,000 cavalry knights participated. I don't know the specific situation."
"The royal family dispatched more than 240 naval warships, the northern nobles dispatched more than 200 warships, and there were also five to six hundred various auxiliary transport ships."
Youmenis paused, handed the yellow paper in his hand to Lin Fenghan, and warned seriously: "These are the information I got from chatting with the officers, but these information are not accurate and can only be made into a vague You know, you can only know the specific strength of the troops when you get to the battlefield. Moreover, from the meetings and rumors I heard, the king and other nobles have made plans to mobilize soldiers again, and the number of soldiers recruited is larger than this time. , if food and supplies were not allowed, the troops you would face would be even larger."
"Um!"
Lin Fenghan took the yellow book with a serious expression, nodded his thanks to Eumenis seriously and said: "Mr. Eumenis, I want to thank you for bringing me such valuable information no matter what. On behalf of the Elantra government, I thank you. If you have any trouble in the future, you can come to see me directly, and I will definitely help you if I can."
"ah!"
"good!"
Eumenis glanced at Lin Fenghan in surprise and said encouragingly: "Yi Liuyun, you are much smarter and braver than your father. You have many excellent qualities that he does not have. I would like to congratulate you in advance on your battle." Success, defeat the king's army, and build a great country for poor and ordinary people."
"Eumenes!"
Lin Fenghan glanced at Eumenis with emotion, raised his hand in excitement and invited: "Youmenis, if you wait until I defeat the king's troops, establish the country, and make it safe and stable, I hope you can join my government and army. , become the Secretary of the Communist Party of China, and work together for the great dream, okay?"
"Yi Liuyun!"
Youmenis became a little excited at this time, glanced at Lin Fenghan gratefully, and said sincerely: "I'm very glad that you didn't say anything that made me feel embarrassed. I was very excited at this time and really wanted to abandon my life in Lindong City. I came here with my job, property, and my wife, children, and family, but it¡¯s very difficult. After all, I have a family and friends in Lindong City. It¡¯s hard for me to abandon everything and come to help you regardless of everything, but I can help you. I promise, as long as Ilantus' situation is stable, I will bring my family to you."
"Originally I planned to sever all ties and leave quickly after giving you the information, but I have changed my mind now. When I return to Lindong City, I will still send a messenger to provide you with all the information I have collected. I sincerely congratulate you on your early victory over the king and on establishing a great country of fairness, justice, justice, peace and happiness."
"Eumenes!"
Lin Fenghan took a few steps forward and walked out. He held Eumenis's hands tightly with both hands and looked at each other with emotion until the maid walked in and knocked on the door to urge her.
