Chapter 113 Imperial Conference!

The news of the fall of Morondo caused a turmoil in the upper echelon immediately after the news of the fall of Morondo was introduced to the imperial capital. The emperor who liked to fight in the north also realized the seriousness of the matter and immediately retreated to the northern defense, recalling several well-known generals to return to the discussion urgently!

At this time, in the imperial hall of the imperial capital, all the top military officials in the north and the leaders of the mage families gathered together!

The buildings in the north are not as exquisite as those in the south. The workmanship is majestic and majestic, and they admire the beauty of simplicity, but the scale of the hall is much larger than the hall of the noble garden in the southern province.

On a white jade conference table more than 20 meters long, the current emperor: Jiawen Augustus is wearing a mighty black armor and is sitting at the head of the conference table!

With a height of nearly two meters, he fully supports the might of this armor, and his expression is serious under the crown, which is full of oppression!

The surrounding atmosphere is also extremely dignified.

The conference table is still in accordance with the previous style of the empire, the generals sit in the left row, the family's archmage and the imperial cabinet ministers sit in the right row!

Since ancient times, civil and military have been favored by each other, even in this prosperous empire that is consistent with the outside world, most generals can't understand those pure politicians and mages, and civil servants naturally can't understand rude reckless men. Dealing with Faye is not only a civil and military confrontation, but also a factional issue left over from the old and new forces of the empire.

The king opened up the territory and built the city relying on the family's loyal knights and local generals and lords, but he was able to gain a firm foothold thanks to the upstart mages who promised a lot of benefits.

The newcomers and the old subordinates who had made great contributions in the past formed two tit-for-tat forces, which lasted for hundreds of years, and formed the current political situation with a clear civil and military pattern.

In previous meetings, the two sides would often quarrel before discussing things, but this time, the atmosphere of the meeting was exceptionally harmonious, and both sides were listening to each other's views on the situation.

Because everyone knows the seriousness of this incident, there is no room for them to intrigue each other.

For generals, a gap has been opened in the south. In order to regain Morondo, the northern front must be tightened, and the walls must be cleared to form a shrinking shape. If the orcs in the north and south cooperate with each other, they will also launch large-scale attacks. This can be said to be a pressure on them. is very big!

But even so, the recapture of Morondo in the south is still imperative!

The terrain of Morondo is unique. Because the Xiong Pass is outside, the possibility of orcs entering the human territory is almost completely blocked. From the Morondo Mountains all the way to the north, there are thousands of miles of fertile fields, and almost every ten miles is a big grain-producing town. It is the largest in the entire empire. Stable food input channels are also the logistical support for northern soldiers to fight with confidence!

Once Morondo falls, if the terrain is the same as that in the north and the orcs can come in and harass at any time, it will be difficult to organize effective forces to resist with the weak style formed in the south for many years, and it will greatly reduce food production. The military situation will have a huge impact!

For the mages of the major families, once the gap in the south is opened, the prosperous trading road of the Imperial Avenue will also be greatly affected. Special products are sold from south to north, earning huge profits. Once the safety of the Imperial Avenue is threatened, it will also have a huge impact on their interests.

The reason for all this made the two sides reach an agreement almost instantly for the first time in seven hundred years without any negotiation or compromise: Morondo must take it back! !

"How is the strength of the beast tribe? How many tribes participated in this operation this time? Do you have any definite information?" Emperor Jiawen asked with a gloomy face.

All the subordinates rolled their eyes when they heard the words, such a sudden attack, without the assistance of magic, all depended on the dictation of those escaped knights, where did they get any definite information?

After a while of silence, the old knight on the left with the military medal of honor said in a deep voice: "According to the dictation of the knights who escaped, the orcs attacked at night without any warning. When most of the knights reacted, Morondo The city wall has already been captured, and most of the knights are in a mess, and it seems that the orcs took Morondo this time without much effort!"

Jiawen's face became even more gloomy when he heard this, and he thought to himself: The comfortable life in the south has been too long!

The so-called energy storm made the arcane enchantment invalid. The old Duke of Morondo should be vigilant. After all, the old Duke Roosevelt is an old general who retired with great military achievements in the north. The subordinates are too unaware of war.

But think about it, since seven hundred years ago, after the five major tribes in the south failed to attack Morondo together and suffered heavy losses, no orcs have organized an attack on Morondo in the past seven hundred years. Peace, it's strange to have a sense of war

"But I think the orcs should not have many troops in this invasion!" the old duke who spoke just now said in a deep voice.

"How to say?" The emperor's eyes lit up.

"This energy storm is obviously an accident. If the orcs have mastered this kind of thing, this attack will not be just a Morondo. If the orcs have enough troops this time, Kodo should have been sent by now. There is news that Weier is in a hurry and even has fallen!"

"That makes sense." The emperor nodded slowly.

"Who could it be?" The archmage sitting first on the right asked puzzledly: "From the intelligence point of view, Morondo was attacked on the second night after this energy storm occurred. Whoever is so decisive is organized the invasion?"

"Who else could it be?" Jiawen sneered, "Of course it's our wolf boy chief."

Everyone nodded. Among the southern tribes, he was probably the only one with such courage.

"According to your inference, if we organize a wave of fast-moving vanguard troops, will we have a chance to quickly bring the city back?" Jiawen asked.

The old duke shook his head and said: "The possibility is too small. Over the years, we have relied too much on magical communication. The south has no habit of raising pigeons, but the orcs have the means of raising birds to send messages. They captured Morendo will naturally send a message to ask for backup, but it took us so long to receive the message, and when the organization forces pass, most of the support from the orc side will also arrive."

"That is to say, we still want to fight the five southern tribes head-on?" Jiawen's face became more and more ugly.

"It's hard to say." The old duke shook his head and said, "Anyway, the Leibu clan and the Blackwater clan will definitely not give up this opportunity. As for the peace-loving Earth clan and the sparsely populated Huobu clan, can they be persuaded to join the war? It depends on the diplomatic ability of our wolf boy chief.”

"I remember that guy Hotell," the king said gloomily, "he has friendship with the elders of the Huobu clan."

"So this time the situation is not optimistic." The old prince said seriously: "If the Huobu family joins the battle, we must send more high-end combat forces. It is estimated that we will need at least ten golden knights!"

The "ten" kings became a bit embarrassed. The ten golden knights are almost half of the high-end combat power in the north. Once they are transferred, the high-end combat power in the north will shrink by half. Sustaining it is really a problem!

"Your Majesty, don't worry too much," the old duke said with a smile, "The Golden Knights are recruited to ensure the safety of the accompanying Archmage. It is impossible for the outer wall to withstand the magical attack of the archmage. As for the north side, our Steel Martial Empire has stood for so many years, relying on the strong walls and arcane weapons. As long as there are enough mages, self-protection is not a problem "

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the mages on the right looked a lot better. When they heard the other party say that the South relied too much on magic communication, they all looked gloomy. Let both forces obey his command.

As expected of the Grand Marshal of the Three Dynasties

Looking at the crowd who nodded in agreement with him, although the old prince maintained a confident face, he secretly sighed in his heart: There is no successor to the empire!

Including the kings of this generation, the old duke actually didn't think highly of him. Jiawen seemed to be a martial artist, but in fact his aptitude was mediocre, and he wasn't as talented in military affairs as he thought he was.

In contrast, the orc chief who decisively led the tribe to attack Morondo made him extremely vigilant, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: It would be great if my Gangwu Empire could have such a character
