Pedi did not respond to Viscount Ake's request, because the transfer of the Imperial Navy was not his final say, and he did not care about the war in the Hoko Islands, or that the war in the Hoko Islands was of no interest to the Reagan family.

He is now more concerned with negotiations with goblins...

So, he asked, "How are the negotiations between Baron Aemond and the goblins going?"

"Ahh

The North suddenly roared, interrupting Otwood's debriefing.

After this cold wind blew, several people couldn't help but shiver, and the Otwood knight endured the cold and said: "The war on the sea has completely stopped, but the negotiations have not yet begun. ”

"Huh?" asked Pedy as he pulled out a cotton towel from his saddle bag and wiped the mist on his face covered by the heavy snow, "I remember that Baron Aemond wrote to me half a year ago to tell me that the negotiations were going very well. ”

“......”

The Atwood Knight could only remain silent when questioned by Pedy, as he didn't know what was going on.

"Baron Aemond has been in charge of the finances for many years, which makes him extremely cautious throughout, so I don't think he will lie on this matter. ”

Old Sir Bowenwright suddenly spoke for Baron Aemond.

Pedy subconsciously looked at Sir Bowenright.

"Baron Aemond served as a logistics officer in our army when he was younger, and I know him. Sir Bowenright said calmly.

Pedi nodded thoughtfully and instructed the lieutenant, "Send a letter to Baron Aemond at once, asking him about the negotiation process with the goblins." ”

"Whew," the young knight let out a sigh.

"Yes, sir!" he took the order and turned to leave.

As he turned his horse's head, Count Anse emerged from the snow on his horse.

Sir Bowenright bowed slightly to Pedi after the Earl of Anse appeared, "I have to leave, my lord." ”

By the time Earl Anse's mount walked alongside Pedi in the snow, there was no one around them.

"Are you going back?" asked Count Anse, with a superfluous remark.

Pedi nodded, "Yes, I don't have to stay anymore, the nobles of the Twak Territory are more than capable of dealing with the next war, and if I continue to stay here, they will only blame each other." ”

"Allow me and my men to enter the Crewe Realm, then," said Count Anse, with a solemn expression and due humility in his tone.

Pedi was not surprised, he asked, "You decided?"

Count Anse nodded firmly: "Yes, what awaits me in the Twak Territory will only be endless war, and I have no intention of fighting against any human army... The Zora family is a thing of the past, I can now remove the shackles from my body in the open, I am going to the Mage Tower to find my son, to the imperial capital to find my wife... Also, the soldiers who followed me also needed to rest. ”

"What about Count Banda and Viscount Casel?" asked Pedi subconsciously, as he had fought alongside them in the Clan.

"They'll stay in Twak territory, and Sir Andy has given them a big promise. Count Anse said with a sense of loneliness, "They will re-form their family in Twak Territory. ”

When the Klan Territory retreated, some of the people of Count Banda and Viscount Kesifer's realm retreated to the Suker Plain and Karon Territory of the Middle Empire, and some of them followed in the footsteps of the two to the Twak Territory.

Pedi understands the choice of the two and understands the cousin's approach even more.

"Well, then, I wish you and your wife and children to be reunited. ”

This is Pedi's heartfelt blessing.

"Thank you. ”

Then, the two fell silent.

A few minutes later, when Pedi turned his head to look to the side, Count Anse was already gone.

Now, he is left alone and silent.

The silence made Pedi feel lonely, as the cold north wind seemed to be able to penetrate his body and blow directly through his beating heart.

This day, it seems to be even colder!

He turned his head to scan the soldiers in the nearby marching column.

The original noise of giggling and laughing suddenly disappeared under his gaze, in exchange for the humble smiles and mechanical salutes of the soldiers.

"Hahaha"

In the distance, the queue suddenly burst into bursts of cheering laughter,

Soon, the laughter infected the nearby soldiers,

A few seconds later, the marching column was filled with cheers and noise!

It's time to go home!

For ordinary soldiers, the ultimate goal of a war is to live long enough to return home, and now they have every reason to cheer and laugh.

But this laughter was like a hand slapping him on the cheek for Pedi.

Therefore, he can only consciously return to where he should be.

...

Imperial capital, Suk City.

In the Emperor's Council Hall of the Lion Castle, the long-vacant hall has finally been reopened, where Prince Sinda is presiding over a military council.

Members of the Imperial Cabinet, Duke Eric, Minister of War, Boya Shu, court magician and chief advisor to the Emperor, Bert, Fellow, and Earl Stu Gara, Chancellor of the Exchequer, leaned close to the prince's side.

On their lower side, staff officers of all levels of the Imperial War Department crowded the chairs next to several desks.

On the wall of the staircase where Prince Sinda and the members of the cabinet were located, a large, detailed military map occupied the entire wall, with red and blue icons competing against each other.

Under the map, the palace governor Bailly was quickly explaining: "After the defeat of the Third Legion, the Ninth Legion entered Hatis Town in time under the order of Duke Nick, and now the battle situation in the surrounding area of Hatis Town has basically stabilized.

But three days ago, the lord of the Fort Iruk region, Kove Rambo, announced yesterday that the entire Fort Iruk region would abandon allegiance to the Empire and fully support the rebels, and two days earlier, the Second Army formed by the rebels was advancing at a breakneck speed towards the Ronais Gorge, three hundred miles southeast of Suk City.

In other words, if we can't come up with an effective plan to stop the rebel Second Army, then the Yekjar military port and a large area in the vicinity will fall into the hands of the rebels.

What's more, we don't have any soldiers stationed in Ronais Canyon, and in six days at most, the Second Rebel Legion will be on Suke City!"

Bailly's words could only be heard by the cabinet members under the map, and the officers at the foot of the stairs were most useful in this council hall to help them analyze the battle report and deduce tactics.

"What is the opinion of the military department?" said Prince Sinda, who was calm.

Duke Eric was silent for two seconds and replied, "Let Duke Nick gather superior forces and quickly defeat the rebels in the area of Hatis Town with absolute strength, and then go straight to Tyre, the headquarters of the rebels." ”

Count Stu immediately asked, "How many soldiers do you need to muster?"

"Four legions!" Duke Eric said, pointing to the town of Hatis on the map with his whip, "The town of Hattis is a major communication artery, located on the plains, and its surrounding area is large enough for six legions to fight at the same time, so I propose to directly use four legions to storm the rebel positions, try to destroy their garrison in Hatis Town, and then go straight to the town of Tyre." ”

"How much time will it take to assemble the four legions?" asked Prince Sindar again.

Duke Eric replied: "The assembly can be completed by the end of this month, but we need to prepare war materials for these four legions in advance, and with the current combat readiness storage of Suke City, we can support the four legions to fight for six to nine days at most." ”

"Oh?" Prince Sinda was stunned, his eyes looked at Count Stu quietly, and when Count Stu nodded, he frowned and thought for a while before looking left and right and asked, "What do you think?"

The prince couldn't take a look, he needed someone to give his opinion.

The university priest first said: "Your Highness, the opinion of the military department can be considered, what you should pay attention to in front of you is the second legion of the rebels, as the guardian of the empire, it is unforgivable to let the rebels come to the imperial capital. ”

"A single legion can't take the city of Suke. Chief Advisor Yabo Shu frowned, "Your Highness, the issue you should consider now is to be crowned as soon as possible, the ownerless Golden Throne is the biggest hidden danger of the Empire." "He didn't take the rebels into account in the slightest.

Sinda directly ignored the proposal of the two, not much, and when he glanced around, he realized that his cabinet members were only these people... So, his gaze fell on Duke Eric again, "I hope this time it will not be as embarrassing as the Third Legion." ”

"The defeat of the Third Legion lies in your misguidance, Your Highness. Duke Eric unceremoniously pointed out the prince's mistake, "You should learn to be patient, if you can wait until the Ninth Legion and the Third Legion merge before ordering an attack, perhaps the rebels in Hatis Town have been wiped out by now." ”

"I just didn't expect the Third Army to be so useless. Of course, Prince Sinda would not admit his mistake, and besides, he was not wrong, no one had imagined that the Third Legion and the rebels would face each other head-on.

Count Stu explained: "The merchants were very demagogues, and they promised to give the people equal status, so the rebel soldiers were not afraid to die... What's more, this time the rebels have a lot of paladins and magicians to help, and the equipment is almost the same as our regular legion!"

"The latest news, the Fort Iruk area has introduced a new policy. The voice of the court governor Bailly rang out: "The rebels have publicly issued edicts allowing ordinary people to buy land, promising commoners the same rights as nobles on their private land. ”

Bailly's voice caught everyone's attention, and then everyone looked at each other and fell silent.

"That's a good decree!"

Count Stu-Gara was in deep admiration.

University Priest nodded subconsciously, but then shook his head again.

The others frowned, and Prince Sinda directly snorted coldly with a dark face.

Duke Eric said in a deep voice: "The rich and rich will spare no effort to support this war in order to ensure their rights!"

Prince Sinda spat out a phrase between his teeth: "Then kill these damned rebels before the rich taste the sweetness!" (https:)
