Section 51
Pei Di's abrupt words made the relaxed atmosphere between the husband and wife become a little dignified in an instant.
After hearing her husband's whispers on her face, the relaxed and casual expression on her face disappeared, and she stared at her husband with an expression of disbelief for a long time before saying, "If I'm not mistaken, this chamber of commerce is currently managed by my mother, and the specific executor is the Marne family of Covinde?"
"Yes. Pedi nodded, "I really don't dare to associate the Sake-Mara affair with my mother, that's crazy!"
"My dear, maybe things aren't as bad as you think, Mother is only in the name of this chamber of commerce, and she hasn't even looked at the accounts of this chamber of commerce. Eileen looked at her husband very seriously, she didn't want him to do something stupid that his subjects couldn't understand because of this.
"I wish and would like to believe more than anyone else that my mother was deceived, but who do you think can fool her?" said Pedi, resisting the urge to smash the glass, and after saying these words, he got up and walked to the ventilation of the gazebo to stare at the dark garden.
"Butβ" Erin Phier still didn't believe that a mother would work against her own son.
However, she forgets that Benedict is the grandson of Lady Saviara, and that Benedict was the first in line of the kingdom until she gave birth to a prince or princess.
Eileen Phil could forget, but Pedi wouldn't, but he didn't make it clear to his wife, who had been rumouring about her inability to have children.
"I've decided on this matter, you can ask your mother for your opinion tomorrow, andβ" Pedi shook his head and didn't say the rest of the words, his tone half-commanding, "We're dealing with the whole kingdom, dear... We can't forget that there are thousands of families in this country who need our protection because we are too emotional. β
"I see..."Erin Fil's gaze darkened... At this moment, she suddenly thought of whether she would usher in the same fate decades later.
Pedi moved his stiff and somewhat stiff arms, turned around and pointed to the letter on the stone table in front of Erin Phier, which was pressed against the teacup, "That's all for now, you can take a look at this letter first... You would do well to be present when you meet Sir Marat and Sir Morinda Morinda. β
Erin Phier took a deep breath and tried to adjust herself, but she couldn't do anything, let alone continue reading the halfway letter.
Ignoring his bewildered wife, Pedi silently walked out into the garden to admire his favorite ice orchid, watching the white flowers shine beautifully in the dark, which can dispel all the troubles that have gathered in his heart.
After a few minutes,
Eventually, she adjusted her state, first looking at her husband relaxing in the dark courtyard, and then picking up the letter to continue what she had just left unfinished.
If just now, she might have subconsciously fallen into contemplation because of the contents of the letter, but at this moment she did not have the slightest interest in the contents of the letter, she sat quietly on the stone bench after reading the contents of the letter, and then stretched out her hand to make a teleportation circle, and the person quickly disappeared into the pavilion.
Sensing the fluctuations of magic, Pedi glanced in the direction of the gazebo, sighed softly as he watched his wife leave, and then continued to admire the flowers in the garden.
Pedi seldom spends his time in the garden house discussing state affairs, because he doesn't want to bring his troubles into the house. However, there were so many things that he had to deal with in person lately that at first he could insist on going to the King's office even if it was too late, but as things got more and more, he didn't bother to run back and forth in the big night.
In the words of Erin Phier's ridicule: You work so hard, but you can't keep the peace here after all.
Perhaps it was close to dinner, and when Sir Morinda and Sir Marne arrived at the garden building, it was already an hour later. Afterwards, Secretary General Oldwood arrived with two of the king's attendants pushing a toolbox containing a map.
The meeting took place in the gazebo, where the castle maids lit incense for insect repellent in advance, and the heavy, bitter smell was a bit drowsy.
"What do you want to drink?" asked Pedi as he placed the letter from the War Department in front of the two ministers.
"I don't need to. Secretary Otwood shook his head, as a recorder he simply didn't have time to drink.
"It's better to have some coffee at this time. After picking up the letter, Morinda subconsciously brought a sentence.
"Clear water," said Siala Marne, with a regretful look on her face, "My doctor told me not to drink too much coffee. β
"Then you're missing one of life's great joys. Morinda couldn't help but make a little joke, and opened the letter in his hand while the maid prepared coffee for him.
"It's not like you can't drink it forever. Siala Marne shrugged indifferently, "Besides, I don't like the taste of coffee either..."
"You'll love it in a few years. Morinda may have seen the content of the letter that he cared about very much, and subconsciously said a sentence and frowned.
Sira Marne noticed the change in Morinda, so she didn't continue to make small talk.
Pedi looked at the map of the Eluk Territory that the squire was erecting, which had already been marked in advance and attracted his attention.
After reading the letter, Morinda silently handed the letter to Syrah Marne, walked to the map and took the candle stand from the squire, his gaze slowly shifted with the swipe of his fingers, and soon he fixed his eyes on the defensive line built by Major General Buck in the south of Arok's command.
The old orc stared at the 'Adiri Line' next to the Northern Silver Forest for a long time, and then slid his finger up slightly, and settled on the garrison town where the undead legion closest to the defense line was located... Broken Bones. After scanning the surroundings of Broken Bones Town, he looked at the front line of Arrow City, and when he looked at the staggered battle lines of the front line of Arrow City, he subconsciously took two steps back and looked down at the entire battlefield of Arrow Territory.
"Has there been any news of the tactical plan he is planning to carry out recently?" Morinda asked subconsciously.
Sheila Marne had already finished reading the letter from Major General Barker, she walked to the other side of the map, shook her head, and said, "The military department will only give target orders, and will not interfere with the tactical arrangements of the front-line generals. β
Buck nodded understandingly, "Our previous guess was correct, General Bowenwright wants to find a breakthrough in the Battle of Elok on this line of defense built by Major General Barker... And judging from the movement of the undead legion led by Iruk, they have already begun to deploy troops against Major General Barker's 'Adiri Line'. β
"But don't you think the old sir is a little too anxious?" Peddy sat on the stone bench and observed the situation in the Atlas Eruk Territory through the gap deliberately exposed by the two ministers, "He can wait for the arrival of reinforcements before acting." β
"But I think now is the best time," said Morinda after turning his head to his king and saluting, "With the cunning of Emweit-File, if he had known that we had gathered heavy forces in the 'Adiri Line', would he still have done something?"
"If I were Muvet-Fyler," Sirah Marne subconsciously responded, "I would definitely retreat as soon as I was faced with heavy flank pressure, and once Muvette Fyler was determined to defend it, the war in the Eluk Territory would not know when it would end." β
"Not bad... The 'Adiri Defence' is now full of holes and it is the perfect time for Muvet Filer to break down the pressure on the flanks, and he will certainly not give up... Also for us, the opportunity is in the 'Adili Defence'. Morinda nodded, "As long as we bite the flank of the undead legion here and wait for the follow-up deployment of troops to be completed, our victory rate will be very large." β
"But what is more likely to happen is that Major General Buck is wiped out and the Undead regain control of the southern part of Iruk's territory. Although Pedi already agreed with this plan in his heart, he had to confide in his doubts.
"Yes, the odds are still high!" Morinda looked at him with seriousness, "However, it's not like there's no chance at all, Major General Barker..."
In the middle of the old orc's speech, the space next to the stone table began to distort and Eileen's figure stepped out of the spatial barrier, interrupting his words.
"Your Majesty. Everyone subconsciously saluted the queen.
Eileen Phil had changed into a long purple dress at the moment, the giant bear family crest pattern embroidered with gold thread on the neckline and cuffs was a little dazzling in the light of the lamp, and the silver crown on her head added a bit of majesty to her. In response to the minister's salute, she sat down on the stone bench with graceful steps, gently rested one hand against the stone table, and watched as Morinda whispered in a semi-commanding tone, "Continue what you have just said, Sir Morinda Morinda." β
Morinda nodded respectfully and continued, "Major General Buck's letter to the military headquarters has clearly stated his approach... A defensive line in depth consisting of earthen walls that stretches across the southern part of Iruk's territory. β
"It's a good idea, but it's not easy to implement. Pedi picked up the teacup and put it down, placing his hand on the cigar box on the edge of the stone table, "Time doesn't allow him to do that." β
Sirah Marne clearly snatched the Morinda and said, "No, he has time... Because we don't need this line of defense to be perfect, and we don't need Major General Buck to really rely on this line of defense to win this war, we just need to buy enough time for subsequent deployments!"
Pedi didn't seem to be very interested in what the two of them had to say, or maybe his mind wasn't on the war in Elok Territory lately.
As the king of the northern part of the entire continent, he no longer sees the undead legions led by Elok as a threat, and the purpose of his current preparations for this war is the Suk Plains. Therefore, after a comprehensive analysis by the two ministers, Pei Di casually glanced at the letters placed on the stone table and said:
"Major General Buck has asked us to put pressure on the Mage Tower to send more Mages to the 'Adiri Line' as soon as possible to help him build his line... Do you think it's necessary?"
The reason why the Mage Tower, the Misha Kingdom, and the Elven Kingdom were able to gather troops to enter the Yekjer Military Port was entirely because of the future potential of this port city, and under the premise of the interests that had been planned for a long time, Peidi was actually very reluctant to negotiate with the Mage Tower at this time.
The old orc Morinda immediately saw the answer from the king, and his originally sparkling gaze immediately dimmed, and lowered his eyelids to give up the first voice to Sirah-Marne.
Sira Marat glanced at the Morinda who didn't plan to speak, took a deep breath and subconsciously took two steps in the direction where the king was, bowed slightly and said: "Our knowledge of the front line is limited to the information that is presented from all over the world every day, so I can't be sure if the 'Adiri Line' really needs more mages to help them build the city wall, but with Major General Barker's usual style, if he didn't really encounter difficulties, he shouldn't have directly crossed the High Command to ask for help from the military headquarters." β
"So that's your suggestion?" Pedi wasn't listening to an explanation right now.
Sheila Marne didn't hesitate much, "We should try to accommodate Major General Barker's request, and... His demands are not too much for the upcoming war, and the Mage Tower is also obliged to support the frontline battlefield. β
"What do you think?" said Peedy, looking at the old orc Morinda.
"I agree with Sir Marne...", Buck lowered his head and looked at the king's slightly furrowed brows, but still stubbornly said, "The 'Adiri Line' is related to the entire battle of Iruk, and since Major General Buck has made a request at this critical time, we should do our best to satisfy him." β
Pei Di nodded and looked at his wife who was sitting on the stone bench next to him and asked, "How did the Mage Tower reply?"
"Mage Tower says they will do their part. Erin Field's tone was flat, "I can tell they don't pay much attention to this matter, though. β
"Understand... If I were a council member of the Mage Tower, I wouldn't have followed Major General Barker's forces, after all, Major General Buck is too aggressive right now. Sira Marne immediately said, "We need to find a way to get the army of the Mage Tower to volunteer to support Major General Barker. β
"Unless there is enough interest, it is simply impossible. Pedi shook her head.
"The most important thing for the Mage Tower right now is the Yekjar Military Port, maybe... Can we cede some of the port city interests?" said Siala Marne.
Peidi immediately shook his head, "The authority of the Mage Tower in the Yekjar Military Port is second only to the Elven Kingdom, if we give up the authority in our hands, it is equivalent to giving the Yekjar Military Port to the Mage Tower and the Elven Kingdom." β
Sira Marne immediately said: "But we will get the entire Iruk Territory Plain, with the Iruk Plains in our hands, even if the port of Yekjar falls into the hands of the Elven Kingdom and the Mage Tower, we will have a chance to get it back!"
Peddy listened to Sira Marn's words and looked at her seriously, and finally couldn't help but open the cigar box, "I know very well what Major General Buck is facing now, we don't have time to negotiate with the Mage Tower, the Council of the Mage Tower is not a philanthropist, think about what they did during the Empire's war with the Orcs." β
