    "The situation that the Griffin Empire is facing now is very bad. It can even be said that it is on the edge of a precarious cliff. If you are not careful, you will fall to pieces." When Duke Bamilyan finally spoke to break the silence, his first words made Toto  Ma De's eyes were surprised.  "What did you say?" The young trainee pilgrim put down the big and ugly bronze wine glass in his hand. Among the exquisite tableware on the table, this thing was like a black bear that broke into the beautiful garden. No matter how you looked at it, it was an eyesore.  "The Griffin Empire has a vast territory and strong national power. The strength of the four major knights alone is enough to resist the invasion of the Barbarian King's Banner. How could such a situation happen?" Duke Bamilyan showed a sharp sneer as sharp as a whip behind the veil.  , "If they can work together, the Banner of the Barbarian King is of course not a problem. But if you want to expect the four knights to fight side by side, it is probably more practical to pray that His Majesty Zulu Gritots suddenly chokes to death.  . Marquis Grace of Longbow will definitely oppose what Duke Cedric of the White Wolf advocates; Marquis of Steel Fist Dragonson manages West Wind County like a kingdom of war and does not allow any force to interfere, and now he is collaborating with Duke Will of Flame Wheel.  There was a conflict with Pus" When he said this, Duke Bamilyang raised his eyes and his tone became a bit sad, "I'm afraid this matter has something to do with you, Mr. Tomad, can you  Do you know that His Majesty the Griffin Emperor has never issued an order to arrest the person who attacked the imperial envoy and killed the son of Marquis Dragunson? " This was the second piece of information tonight that made Tomad slightly moved, "It's really surprising?  "My lord, Duke Bamilyan, why didn't your Majesty issue an order to arrest'someone'?" "Of course it was because Duke Yanlun made different claims, and the two imperial ministers started a fierce fight in the palace hall.  Debate, and even almost moved his hands." Duke Bamilyang made a helpless gesture, "You may know that Marquis Dragunson is a famous and powerful knight, and although the current Marquis Wilpus is not proficient in martial arts,  But he has a younger brother who is skilled in swordsmanship. If Sir Geno, the leader of the Iron Guard knights, had not stopped the conflict between the two, this argument might have ended in a brutal duel. " Tomad was secretly relieved.  He took a breath and said, "Fortunately." He said in a sincere tone, "Is Lord Roland, Chief Pilgrim, still staying in the glorious capital of Filmeyer?" "Roland Wilps has handed over to St. Barth."  The position of chief pilgrim of Brupa Monastery was replaced by the ashes of the Iron Guard Knight," Duke Bamilyan explained softly, "It is for this reason that Sir Geno never participated in political disputes.  He would come forward to stop the conflict, which indirectly suppressed the arrogance of Marquis Dragunson. "Then Marquis Dragunson must be very angry." Tomad found that when he said this, his heart rose.  There was a surge of joy, and it was difficult to stop the urge to slightly raise the corners of his mouth.  "His Majesty declared that no blood feud could arise because of this. Hangre Dragonson was also deprived of his title and corresponding territory because of the solid evidence. Because he was dead, this punishment fell on Marquis Dragonson.  On his head, he lost two manors near the imperial capital, a forest on the edge of the Moon Whispering Plain, and several villages near the forest." Duke Bamilyan's calm narration brought out a subtle and pleasant tone.  The distance between him and Tomad was shortened, making the atmosphere in the secret room more lively.  "But it's hard to say how angry he is, because he probably can't care about it now. Tallon Fortress is facing the siege of the barbarian orc army, and his life and fortune depend on it. In comparison, the attack he received in Fermeyer  "The setback is nothing." "The army of the King of Barbarians went to Tallon Fortress in West Wind County?" Tomad tapped the ivory carving in his hand suspiciously. It was a graceful and elegant Yahan.  She is a beauty, and her carving skills are quite masterful.  "Leaving the already dilapidated Tatarchuk without fighting and turning to attack the well-defended Tallon Fortress is not a wise leader's decision." "I'm afraid there are some things that the King of Barbarian Orcs is not aware of.  It's clear, and he also has his own considerations." Duke Bamilyang clapped his hands, and the two maids immediately removed most of the tableware from the table, and then spread out a delicate and soft calfskin map.  Duke Bamilyan stretched out his slender white fingers and found Tatarchuk on the eastern border on the map, then followed the road leading to Bolshoy Serai County, and finally pointed to a series of fortresses built among the high mountains.  and above the fort.  "Although Tatarchuk is easy to capture, there is not much benefit in capturing it. The products here are barren, and most of the wealth was taken away by Joseph Tito. If you go to Bolshoi Serai County from here, you will also have the obstacles of difficult terrain and solid fortresses.  , Even if everything goes well, it may take him two months to reach the county seat of Daserei County. "  "Two monthsenough for the empire to deploy a large army to strengthen the defense of Grand Serre County." Tomad nodded in agreement, "It will be a hard battle." "Yes, and there is another reason.  ." Duke Bamilyang stretched out his second finger, "Mr. Tomad, have you ever lived in a barbarian orc tribe for a while? Have you found that the appetite of barbarian orcs is much larger than ours? " Tomad thought in his heart.  Rin, subconsciously trying to stay calm, did not show a horrified expression, and asked in a somewhat rigid tone, "Duke Bamilyan, what did you say?" "The things that the sleepless eyes can see are far more than you imagine.  " Duke Bamilyang waved his hand with a smile, "Okay, since you don't want to talk about this topic, let's go back to the map. Here are the Solid Rock Twin Towers, which are also the first guards of the east gate of the empire.  The guard towers are located on both sides of the canyon, and with the mountain walls up to a hundred meters high, no siege equipment can pose a threat. There is a narrow passage less than five meters in between the two towers, and there are several iron gates blocking it, even from the barbarian orcs.  The army numbered tens of thousands and could not pass quickly here. " Tomad had to admit that what Duke Bamilyan said was indeed true.  Although the barbarian orc warriors are brave and good at fighting, because they have not mastered metallurgical technology and their forging skills are limited to tinkering, their weapons and armor are quite crude.  He could completely imagine that the barbarian orc warriors, protected only by thick leather armor and shields, gathered in a narrow canyon, braved the rain of stones and arrows pouring down from the towers on both sides, and struggled to move forward.  How difficult it would be to break open the steel gates.  "There are six such guard fortresses in Echo Canyon, and there are more than 2,000 troops guarding the fortresses." Duke Bamilyan announced proudly, "The barbarian orc warriors are brave and powerful by nature, but they eat a lot.  , their daily consumption of supplies far exceeds that of the human army, and they must rely on looting and hunting for supplies. In Echo Canyon, they have no possibility of obtaining supplies. Mr. Tomad, you still think that you can attack the country from here.  Is Sere County a good idea?" Tomad shook his head sullenly, "Of course not, it would be a disaster, but for the empire, it is just the opposite. Lord Bamiliyan, this should be a secret of the empire.  "Wouldn't it be a problem if you told me so simply?" "The leaked secret is no longer a secret." Duke Bamilyan smiled bitterly and spread his hands, "People here call Joseph Tito a traitor.  This is true for the Empire, but for the Free City, the mercenary king actually gave the city the final protection in his own way. "The information about Echo Canyon was leaked by Joseph Tito?"  Not only that, but also the garrison situation in Daserei County and Xifeng County." Duke Bamilyang rubbed the corners of his eyes and showed a tired expression for the first time, "As the Minister of Intelligence, I also have some responsibility for this matter.  The two key figures of the Sleepless Eye Intelligence Network in Tatarchuk were betrayed, and the spy leader Feng Derrick was unable to do anything on his own. By the time I received the news and arrived, it was already too late." Tomad sipped.  He pursed his lips and did not answer.  Although Duke Bamilyan's attitude was friendly and sincere, he always felt that not everything the intelligence minister said was honest.  "Josef Tito and the king of the barbarians Zulu Gritots have long colluded. The two of them jointly planned the robbery of the business group a few months ago. According to the information obtained later, Joseph Tito's original  The plan is for Zulu Gritouzi to target Zephyr County, attract the empire's attention, take advantage of the opportunity to capture many fortresses in Echo Canyon, and then make a surprise attack on the county town of Big Serre."  Duke Yang seemed to want to pour out all his thoughts, narrating eloquently, "If he succeeds, the empire will probably lose control of the big Serei County, and what will happen to the small Serei County with its poor geographical location?"  I'm not optimistic about how long it can last." Tomad moved uncomfortably on his seat. He didn't expect Duke Bamilyan to tell him these military secrets. "In any case, Joseph Tito's.  The conspiracy has gone bankrupt, Zulu Gritoutz's army will only be beaten to pieces under Talon Fortress, isn't it?" He finally interrupted with a positive tone.  Duke Bamilyan, whose narration was interrupted, did not show a trace of anger. He just looked at Tomad quietly with compassionate eyes until the latter slumped and closed his mouth.  "According to the intelligence obtained by Sleepless Eyes, Zulu Gritots did not directly attack Tallon Fortress, but sent envoys to various barbarian orc tribes to gather troops, plus many orcs, ogres and goblins.  With the joining of the tribe, he has now gathered a terrifying army of more than 100,000 people." Duke Bamilyang drew a straight line on the map with his finger, reaching the western border of the empire.Tallon Fortress.  "Tallon's garrison has four thousand people, but because they have not experienced the baptism of war for a long time, the training, equipment, and morale of these soldiers are all insufficient. Two thousand cavalry from the Knights of the Steel Fist are also stationed here, and there are nearly  Four thousand auxiliary soldiers. With the high walls of Tallon Fortress, these troops can withstand three to five times the enemy's attack, but they do not include the Barbarian Roaring Warriors. Mr. Tomad An, you are more powerful than me.  Knowing the powerful attack power of ten thousand barbarian orc roaring warriors, if five hundred barbarian giants are added, how long do you think Talon Fortress can hold on?" Tomad thought quietly, then lowered his gaze, "I don't know, Ba.  Lord Duke Milian, this is a question that only an experienced general can answer. " Duke Bamilyan did not show a smile this time, his tone was soft and sharp, "One week, Tomad.  "Mr. An, if he doesn't get help, Marquis Dragunson can only hold on for a week at most."
