Because personal strength can play a very small role in the war, Renard did not dwell too much on his own strength.

Just at this time, Robertson rushed back after delivering the order, and reported two important news to him: "Your Excellency, according to the Gestapo stationed in Heilan Province, Prince White has surrendered to His Majesty the King. ”

"Now that the King's army has completely occupied the other three counties except Palm, the Cronin family has become a turtle in the urn, and it is only a matter of time before they fall. ”

Renard's expression was calm when he heard this, and he had expected this as he had expected it, and he did not feel any surprises.

However, Robertson's next news made him frown slightly: "There is also bad news, ten days ago, Pearl County was attacked by a large number of demons, and the situation is precarious, I am afraid that it will fall soon." ”

Robertson angrily explained, "It's all to blame for the Cronin family's dogs." ”

"When the demon army attacked Pearl County, they suddenly withdrew the 20,000 northern troops who had come to assist in the defense, leaving the right flank of the defense line empty. ”

"Since then, the demon army has been driving straight in, quickly invading the hinterland of Pearl County, and then flanking the garrison on all sides. ”

Renard's expression finally changed, and he asked with a gloomy face, "What do the defenders of Pearl County do for food, have they been defeated by demons in such a short period of time?"

As far as he knew, Pearl County originally had a garrison of 20,000 troops, and later the Cronin family transferred another 20,000 people to assist in the defense, plus the private armies of lords and nobles from all over the country, it was no problem to gather 60,000 or 70,000 troops.

Even if these people can't defeat the demons, it's no problem to defend the city for a month, how could they lose Pearl County in such a short period of time?

How much combat power can the aristocratic private army have? It's okay to maintain law and order in peacetime, but it's a fool's dream to let them go to the battlefield to fight the demons.

Renard sighed helplessly: "What's the use of telling me this, we are trapped here now, we are too busy to take care of ourselves, and we are powerless to help them." ”

Robertson's face was worried: "If the demon breaks through the defense line of Pearl County, the next target is likely to be Jingui County." ”

"If the garrison army is united, there is still the strength to fight, but it is a pity that they divided their troops to control the four cities, and finally they were broken one by one, more than 20,000 people were killed and wounded, and all the survivors fled to Guiyun County. ”

"Now Pearl County is only relying on the noble private army to hold on, if there are no reinforcements, I'm afraid it will ......"

Robertson didn't go any further, Renard understood what he meant.

The troops of Gannan Province have long been hollowed out by him, and they are simply undefended, so it is strange that the other party does not go.

Renard suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and asked again, "What is going on on with His Majesty's side, and does he have any intention of sending more troops to Pearl County?"

Robertson thought for a moment and said, "Although it was not mentioned in the letter, I guess it is unlikely. ”

"Jin Gui County is also facing the pressure of tens of millions of demons step by step, and it is simply powerless to resist more demons. ”

"If Jingui County falls again, Kale County will have to face the demon army. ”

Renard knew that this was not alarmist, Golden Gui County bordered Kale County, and if Golden Gui County was breached, the demon army would definitely attack Kale County, followed by Southern Wilderness County and Barren Land.

Robert scratched his head embarrassedly when he heard this: "After staying with the Governor for a long time, my knowledge and experience will naturally increase. ”

Renard asked with interest, "Then what do you think Your Majesty will choose?"

Robert knew that the Governor was testing himself, and his expression suddenly became solemn.

"Now that the Cronin family is fighting the trapped beasts, His Majesty the King will definitely not give up this great opportunity to destroy the other party. ”

"If he gives up and chooses to defend Pearl County, not only will the good situation be nullified, but even the two counties that have been recovered will be in danger repeatedly, and will the Cronin family give him a chance to leave calmly?"

Renard looked at Robert in surprise and asked amusedly, "When did you become so insightful?"

"If Your Majesty does not rush to the aid of Pearl County, the Cronin family can only choose to continue to hold on to Palm County. ”

"Of course, Pearl County will fall because of this, and Jingui County will also be in danger. ”

"The situation is not in favor of His Majesty in any way. ”

He thought about it for a long time, and finally replied cautiously: "At any cost, eliminate the Cronin family." ”

He explained in a clear manner: "The situation facing His Majesty the King today is very complicated, first of all, although the Cronin family is at the end of the crossbow, it has not completely lost its combat effectiveness. ”

"If he marches west to help Pearl County, the Cronin family will definitely go south to recover Guiyun County, or north to recover Heqing County. ”

"Although this is likely to lose Pearl County and Jingui County, he will not suffer a loss if he recovers the land of the three counties of Hailan Province. ”

"If Your Majesty can take Palm County before the demons completely conquer Pearl County, then the situation will be completely reversed. ”

"His Majesty the King will send his troops to Pearl County with the power of great victory, and the demons will surely flee when they hear the news. ”

However, as the saying goes, the lesser of two evils, if His Majesty the King rushes to the aid of Pearl County, he will definitely face the back and forth of the demons and the Cronin family. ”

"In the end, it is very likely that you will not be able to keep Pearl County, and you will not be able to destroy the Croning family, and at the same time, you will lose Guiyun County and Heqing County, which have just arrived, which is completely a loss-making business. ”

"On the contrary, if His Majesty does not rush to the aid of Pearl County, then he can completely eliminate the Cronin family with his superior forces. ”

"Or, what if the demon goes directly to Guiyun County to find His Majesty's bad luck after the demon captures Pearl County?"

Robertson didn't expect him to ask such a question, and he was directly stumped.

He thought about it for a long time, and finally sighed helplessly: "If this is the case, His Majesty the King can only withdraw his troops and return to defend the Rose Province, and all his achievements will be wasted." ”

"If he can't take Palm County before the demon completely conquers Pearl County, he will only lose Pearl County, and even if he loses Jingui County again, it is better than not getting anything. ”

Reynard listened to his analysis and found that it was similar to what he expected, but there were two joints that he couldn't figure out.

So he continued to ask, "What if His Majesty the King still fails to destroy the Cronin family after the fall of Jingui County?"

Renard couldn't help but be disappointed to see that this subordinate could not come up with any unique opinions.

He held the hilt of his sword, and his eyes flashed with coldness: "That is to say, taking down the Cronin family is the key to solving the problem." ”

Robertson nodded, not knowing what the Governor meant by asking.

Seeing that his subordinates affirmed his statement, the corners of his mouth suddenly hooked an inexplicable smile: "In that case, then we will help His Majesty the King solve the problem of the Cronin family before the demon takes Pearl County." ”
