The engagement reception in Kaval Fort went well.

The next day, Turlock and the representatives of the Mage's Tower left Crewe in a hurry, while Eilefeld remained in the city, and the Duchess of Saviara had purchased a detached villa for her near the castle.

Just as Pedi and the beauty were cooperating, a military report from the Combined Fleet quietly arrived at Fort Kaval.

Good news, though.

The independent goblin fleet was defeated by the Imperial Combined Fleet in the waters near the trade staging post established by the goblins on the Roguarte Islands in the northern part of the Elan continent.

At this moment, the Imperial Combined Fleet has occupied the Rowarte Islands.

Viscount Ake sent a letter asking if he would take advantage of the situation to attack the waters off the Clarklee Islands and directly threaten the Goblins' native coastal defenses.

Although, Pedi's early plan was to negotiate peace with the goblins, but now the battle situation has an advantage... In the words of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Baron Aemond: if you can force the other side to negotiate peace with us, why beg them?

At the same time as the good news came from Viscount Ake, there was also good news from Sir Fred, who led the garrison of Crewe: the goblin garrison in Balan had officially surrendered at two o'clock in the afternoon on October 18.

This was to be expected, but it was significant, as it meant that the war in Crewe was superficially over.

As soon as Pedi got the news, he asked all his heralds, with his proclamation, to announce to the ten people in the entire city of Twak: The orcs and goblins have been completely driven out of Crewe!

Soon, the earth-shattering cheers resounded over the city.

And the overjoyed Pei Di replied to Viscount Ake: You can order the Combined Fleet to do anything, and I will take care of your logistics and supplies.

Half an hour later, Pedi wrote to Baron Aemond, the treasurer, and Sir Bipp, the foreign officer, who were far away in Beenburg, asking them to lead the negotiators to the Rowalt Islands to meet the Combined Fleet.

On the 23rd, when a cheerful Pedi had just finished dinner with his fiancée Eileen, Count Jackf, who was besieging the Goblin Vanguard Army north of Seka Town, received good news that the goblin forces in the Thalia Basin had surrendered.

Along with the news from the Fourth Legion, there is also good news from Miss Nema, a mage unit: the goblin engineer agrees to configure the explosives and gives the method of configuring the explosives on the condition of life safety.

When Pedi was immersed in joy, news suddenly came from the direction of the Twak Leader: The five banner groups of the orcs and the two legions of the Gondwak Kingdom, with a total of 100,000 troops, were storming Twak City!

This news made the happy Peidi feel like someone had poured a bucket of cold water over his head, as the commander of the Empire's Northern Frontier Theater, the war in the Twak Territory was within his scope of responsibility.

The officers of the command post, who had just returned from Byan yesterday, and Baron Danmen of the MI, were urgently summoned by Pedi.

He needed advice from officers in the General Staff Office.

Before that, though, Pedi summoned his chief of military intelligence...

In the private parlor of Fort Caval, when Pedi saw the dusty Baron Danmen, he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed when he thought of his ups and downs in the past few days, but after all, now was not the time to think about these issues, Pedi quickly put aside all distractions and asked, "Where are the Guards Regiment and the Fifth Infantry Regiment now?"

"To the south of Fort Herien, you will be able to reach the northern passage of Herien in two days at the latest. Baron Danmen, as the chief of military intelligence, naturally knew the reason for Peidi's question, so he added: "Before the 27th, both legions can all enter the Twak Territory, if..."

"It's too slow!" Pedi slammed his fist on the coffee table in the middle of the reception couch, "Before the 25th, I need the vanguard of the Guards to arrive in Tkava, and by the 30th of this month, I need an army of about 20,000 men to appear in the east of Twak City to plan the offensive and defensive battles of Twak City." ”

Baron Danmen's eyebrows furrowed when he heard this, and he couldn't help but remind: "My lord, there is an army of 100,000 orcs outside Dwak City. ”

"I'm not going to let these 20,000 people fight the orc army, I just need to make sure Twak City is safe!" Pedi didn't want to get too entangled with the Chief of Intelligence, "you go out first, and let Sir Glick and the officers from the Staff Office wait for me in the conference room next to it." ”

Baron Danmen didn't dwell too much on this issue, after all, it wasn't his duty, and he quickly exited the parlor after Pedi gave the eviction order.

"Otwood, are you out there?" Peddy called out to his lieutenant.

"Your Excellency. "Otwood's expression was always serious, like Sergeant Owa, Pedy's lieutenant at the Sheriff's Station.

"Prepare, our command post needs to be relocated to Twak Territory. Pedi gave orders as she sorted through the papers on her desk.

"Yes, sir. Otwood calmly took the order.

"Pedy—" Just as Otwood was about to leave, Duchess Saviara's voice suddenly rang out.

"Pedy!" the Duchess appeared in the parlor at the same time as the second voice sounded.

Otwood walked away playfully and closed the door.

"Is there anything wrong, Mother? Pedi kept her smile as hard as she could.

"It's Phyllis, she's running away from home. "The Duchess has a letter in her hand," she said, saying she was going to fight for the Empire. Although she spoke severely, there was no trace of nervousness on her face.

"Oh, my dear mother, you should know what I'm busy with right now. Pedi was a little impatient, "My sister is going to be fine, you should have known." ”

"It's a runaway from home, and I just admire her courage. Saviara smiled faintly, "When I was younger, I wanted to run away from home more than once, but I didn't have the courage... Phyllis inherited my character and at the same time Nick's courage. ”

"Do you have any special arrangements for her?" Peidi looked at his mother a little speechlessly, "The war of the Twak Territory is about to start, and the mage army may enter the battle at any time. ”

"I'm sure you'll take care of her, she's destined to become a magician... Oh, it occurred to me that Penny, my poor daughter, had been bound by fate at a very young age, and that she might have been jealous if she had known what was going on with Phyllis. Savia took two steps forward and cupped her son's cheek, "If possible, you must help Penny as much as possible in the future, because you are her only support." ”

"You don't think there's anything you haven't said?" asked Pedi as he shook his mother's hand.

Saviara rubbed her son's cheeks vigorously, then pulled out her hands and sat on the nearby sofa, "News from the imperial capital, on the 28th of this month, Prince Sinda and Penny will officially get married in Lion Castle. ”

"So soon!" Pedi was a little surprised at first, but soon understood Lionburg's intentions, and he looked at his mother and said, "You should go to her wedding." ”

"Yes, I will go, although I will not be able to arrive in the imperial capital on her wedding day, but I need to go. The Duchess of Saviara said, "This may be the last time I see her, and I must go." ”

"Please bring my blessings. The days of living with Penny slowly flashed through Pedy's mind, and finally turned into a sigh.

"You should write her a letter. Saviara stared at Pedi and said, "If you can, write 'My dear sister' at the beginning of the letter, I think Penny will be very happy to see it... Don't look at it so strangely, you've certainly never called Penny 'sister', and she's very jealous of Phyllis in that regard. ”

His mother's words caused Pedi to fall into a brief contemplation, and he looked at his mother for more than ten seconds before saying, "I'm sorry, I never thought about these questions, I thought she wouldn't like my too affectionate titles." ”

"There is no one who does not want to be cared for by loved ones, my child. Saviara stood up, "I'll leave early tomorrow morning, and I hope your letter to Penny will be written by then." With that, she turned and walked towards the door.
