vs 26 At the desk

"Do you think I'm asking you how much you charge?" Peddy was never polite when talking to Collier, "You should know very well why I let you run a magic school, right? ”

"Your Majesty, learning magic is not something that can be done in just a few years. When Collier heard the king's words, the smile on his face faded away, and he reined in his heart and said with some seriousness:

"Unless it's a particularly gifted person, like Her Majesty the Queen... Under normal circumstances, it takes at least fifteen years to train a mage, and if you meet a stupid one, it will take ten years just to learn the basic principles of circle construction, so many mage organizations are more likely to open a laboratory to educate students and carry out magic experiments rather than systematic education, but we..."

"But I always believed that only systematic education was the right way. Pedi stared at Collier, "I'm sure you'll have a solution, I'll wait to see your detailed report." ”

The old mage looked at the kingdom with expectant eyes, swallowed the next words he wanted to say alive, and then gritted his teeth and whispered under the gaze of everyone, "I try my best!"

Pedi nodded in satisfaction after Cowlier's answer, and flipped through the next report.

Next, there is a report written by Sira Marne of the Military Department, which reports in detail the recruitment situation in various parts of the kingdom in the last ten days, as well as the budget expenditure of the Military Department for the next six months... And, of course, an analysis of the situation in the war in the Eluk Territory.

When Pedy read the report halfway, his secretary-general, Otwood, silently pushed open the door and walked in, walked to the desk with an urgent front-line military newspaper, and whispered, "Your Majesty, it's Sir Bowenwright's military newspaper, and he sent it directly to our mailroom!"

"Oh?" said Pedi frowned and glanced at Sira Marne.

According to common sense, Bowenwright would not send a letter directly to the king's office without going through the military headquarters, unless something happened that could affect the entire situation of the war.

The newspaper was sealed with iron bark, and the magical runes on it protected its contents.

Pedi took it in his hand and looked at the seal on it carefully, making sure it hadn't been opened, and looked up at the other ministers in the office.

"Is it the battle report from the Eluk Leader?" Drahir didn't have any scruples about the other ministers, and asked directly if he wanted anything.

"I guess so. Pedi didn't take it apart immediately, he flipped through the few reports that were left on his desk, and made sure that they were all dispensable routine reports, before breaking the small gear-like seal at the iron bark seal.

At the first glance of the military report, Pei Di's face became very serious. Because the handwriting on the military newspaper was written by Bowen Wright himself, and the content of the military newspaper directly made Pedi frown.

"You..."

"Tuk Tuk"

There was a slight knock on the door, and as Otwood walked over softly, Pedi suddenly stopped what he was about to say, for he suddenly had a hunch that there should be another news about Elok's Territory.

"It's news from Baron Danmen of the MI Department himself!" Otwood reported directly at the door after closing the door.

"Pick it up. Pedi held out his hand.

"Pedaling" Otwood is fast, but not aristocratic and reserved.

The secret letter from the MI was still an urgent letter teleported back by magic, and Pedi controlled his state of mind, kept himself calm, and then quickly opened the cassette.

Although after seeing Bowenley's military report, Pedi had been mentally prepared that the military intelligence service would bring him unexpected news, but he did not expect that this news would come from the Mage Tower of Eternal Wings, and the message was actually sent by Tlock, the chairman of the Mage Tower.

The content is even more unexpected by Peidi no matter what... There was a rebellion in the Mage Tower, and the leader of the rebel army copied the military orders of him and the military headquarters, and issued a disruptive order to the Yekjar military port!

"Sir Morinda, take a look at this order, too. Pedy stacked the two letters on his desk and pushed them forward.

The old orc listened to the king's slightly muffled words, looked at the king's evaluation face, and stepped forward under the gaze of everyone.

I don't know when the position of the chief minister of the kingdom was replaced by this old orc who looked like a shadow in the king's office, and now even the prime minister, Sir Bipp, can only look at his back.

As Morinda stepped forward, Pedy, who was sitting in his office chair, leaned over at Collier and Sir Bipp behind the old orc, and commanded in a very plain language: "Sir Cowlil... And Sir Bipp, if you have nothing to do, go about your own business first. ”

The old mage's surprise at hearing this could not be concealed, and he subconsciously looked at the two letters on the desk and fell into thought, while Sir Bipp next to him saluted calmly and walked towards the office door.

It was not until Sir Bipp opened the door and made a sound that Collier recovered from his momentary thoughts, and he hurriedly bowed to the king sitting at his desk, and then walked towards the door without looking back, like Sir Bipp.

"Sir Bowenright's intelligence is in the process of being cleared. Pedi leaned back in his chair and lowered his head to play with the ruby ring on his left thumb, "Turlock of the Mage Tower... Your Excellency, it is a bit of a surprise that he personally wrote this information, and he presented it to the Military Intelligence Service, not the Ministry of Foreign Affairs!"

The people in the hall did not receive the news, so they did not understand the king's words very well, and Yebay, who was reading the letter, was not busy replying, he read every word of the letter very carefully. After five or six minutes, he had read every sentence in it, and after handing the letter to the others in the office at the king's signal, he looked down and thought for a moment, and said:

"The current situation is that the undead legions in the territory of Elok may be strong enough to have the ability to fight on three fronts... Moreover, they are giving inducing orders to our naval forces assembled in the military port of Yekjar through the spies lurking in the Mage Tower. ”

"This is not a preducement order, our previous plan was to have the naval forces advance into the interior of the El Luk Territory. Drahir was the first to snatch the letter into his hand, and with his elven reading ability, he quickly understood the contents, "Our opponents are smart, they are just repeating our orders at the beginning, so it won't be long before we can gain the trust of Major General Buck!"

As he spoke, Draxier walked over to the map in his office, and swiped his finger up at the location of the port of Yekjar, "Our initial plan was known to the Undead Legionβ€”" he seemed to say to himself, "Their plan should be to lure our naval forces deeper... What a coincidence that Sir Bowenright had obtained this information!"

"Oh?" said Pedy, standing up and walking quickly to the map, looking at the increasingly clear lines on the map, his thoughts slowly becoming clear again when he was confused by the two letters, "You mean that Muvet-Feller is deliberately deceiving Sir Bowenlight so that his main force does not dare to attack rashly?"

"During the battle with the Undead Legion under the Heron Command, it should be possible for you to understand that it is impossible for a small group of living scouts to enter the active areas of the Undead Legion to spy on intelligence, let alone be close to their command hub. Draxier pointed his finger at the city of Iruk on the map, "However, no one dares to ignore this information, let alone assume that he is wrong... So, now for Sir Bowen Wright, it's really hard to choose. ”

"Our opponents are smart. "Sheila Marne also read the letter, and she didn't feel any dissatisfaction with Bowenwright's overstepping report," Muvet deserves to be said about him in the file... A conspirator who is good at playing with people's hearts!"

"This kind of person is very dangerous, and he is still our enemy!" Pei Di stared coldly at the western region of the Illuk Territory on the map, "No matter what the cost of life, this person must be killed, it is completely killed!"

"Our original intention was to use the Yekjar military port to send the navy as a decoy to penetrate the territory of Iruk and cover our subsequent large landing force. Morinda said at this time: "If this plan is successful, we can not only effectively defeat the undead legions of the Iruk Lord, but also control the Yekjar Military Port, and more importantly, after the battle of the Iruk Lord, our army can go straight to the town of Tyre and exert pressure on the Suke Plain." ”

"That's what you're going to do?" Drahir was stunned, looking at Pedi with questions in his eyes.

"Don't you think it's best for me to unify the Suk Plains?" Pedi looked at Draxier nonchalantly, "When the Human Empire is reorganized, the threat of the undead legions is a joke. ”

Drahir frowned, "I admit that sooner or later humans and orcs will rise, but you are simply not ready, you still have a long way to go, or you will bring more disasters to the entire continent." ”

"I'll talk about that later. Pedi wasn't angry, he pointed to the Mage Tower on the map, "The civil strife in the Mage Tower has disrupted all of our plans. He turned his head to look at his ministers and asked, "Do you think that at this moment it is necessary to continue to increase the military port of Yekjar?"

"Of course, why not?" Morinda and Sirah-Marne, who was beside him, looked at each other and said, "The military headquarters has already assembled the troops ready to land, right?"

"Yes, according to His Majesty's order, the two garrison corps on the Crewe Plain were reorganized into a mixed fifteenth and sixteenth corps and assembled outside Gessen Town, and the provisional Eleventh and Twelfth Corps were also stationed in Seka Town in batches. Sira Marne nodded and said, "Now with only one order from His Majesty, the 20,000 fully equipped elite soldiers of these four corps can be transported to the Yekjar Military Port within half a month." ”

"I think we should wait a little longer!" Baron Hannina joined the discussion, "I feel like the Mage Tower incident isn't over yet...", as an intelligence officer, she saw from these two letters that no one else saw, "I feel that the interior of the Yekjar military port may have been infiltrated by the undead legions!"

Everyone's eyes fell on Baron Hannina at once, and they looked at each other and were silent for a few seconds, and then Drahir shook his head first and said, "This shouldn't be possible, right? ”

"That's because they have bigger appetites, and they want to swallow more than just a port!" Baron Hannina's voice was a hint of informant indifference.

"Do you want to use the Mage Tower?" Sira Marne's face changed slightly, "Use El Luk City as bait to lure our main force and the main force of the Mage Tower, and then take the opportunity to seize the Drake Forest and the Boonewright Plains?" she broke out in a cold sweat at what she said, "If our naval forces are fully digested by the undead legions, this is entirely possible!"

"I feel like we should notify the Mage Tower as soon as possible, or send reinforcements to them directly. Drahil stared at Pedi with a look of some anxiety.

"Don't think of the Mage Tower so badly!" the space in the area near the office door suddenly began to distort, and then Erin Feier, who was wearing a purple short-sleeved long dress, appeared.

"Your Majesty!" the ministers began to salute.

"My father left me a message in the magic web that the Mage Tower will not withdraw its forces in Iruk City, and that the undead legions on the southern coast do not need our intervention. Erin Fielder and Pedy looked at each other and said it in a very calm tone.

Drahir frowned when he heard this, and said, "Your Majesty, the undead legion is different from ordinary rebels, and the evil energy has the property of suppressing magical energy..."

"Elf!" Erin Feel didn't give Drahir a nice face, "Your lies have long been discovered, and the evil energy is not suppressing magical energy, but the dialysis of our existing basic construction circles, and where these basic circles have evolved from, you should know better than me!"

"This can't be!" Draxier was stunned for a moment, then looked unusually excited, "The basic construction circle is passed down by the Minotaur priests, and there can't be a problem with it." ”

"But it's true. Erin Phil didn't want to argue with the other party, she looked at the many ministers and said, "Don't think about the mage tower too weak, think about how the mage tower was built?"

"The Mage Tower was built by the combined efforts of the earliest mage organization in the empire, that is to say..."Morinda immediately became clear after hearing Erin Fei'er's words, "You are the real power of the Mage Tower in the Council, and the real power of the Council lies in the ancient mage organization represented behind the council?"

"That's just the way it is. Erin Fei'er nodded, "You should be glad that most of these ancient mage organizations still follow the instructions of Archduke Partved and carefully use their own power to prevent the web from collapsing, otherwise this continent will not know what will become of it." ”
