"According to scouts' scouting reports, the Undead Legion suddenly sped up its advance two hours ago. Under the gaze of countless eyes, Bowenwright pointed to the exit defense area of the western plain at the mouth of the canyon on the map, "The news came an hour ago that sporadic ghoul troops have appeared outside our defense area. ”

"The current battle situation is favorable to the Undead Legion, and the conclusion of the Staff Office is that the Undead Legion will not give us much time, and a big battle in the Plains Defense Zone may break out at any time. "We have less than 70,000 defenders in the Western Plains, and most of them are simply trained recruits, and if we don't do something about it, we may lose this war in less than five hours." ”

"But the problem is that there are now less than 50,000 troops in the fortified garrison ready for immediate war. Lundin-Reagan frowned, "The only thing that can be reinforced now on the plain defense line is the army of the Misha Kingdom stationed at Fort Tillman. ”

"The troops transferred from Fort Tillmann will participate in the war of the Plains Line, and if the Plains are defeated, the undead army can drive straight into the front of Felder City. Hades shook his head, "My feeling is that we can abandon the plain defense line and hold off the undead legions in the Tillmanburg area, so as to buy enough time for the main army to assemble." ”

"How can the Plains Defense Line give up so easily?" Lundin Reagan looked at Hades like an idiot, "Once the Plains Defense Line is lost, the mouth of the Manwees Canyon, the Naron Forest, and the hinterland of Felder's territory will be completely exposed to the undead army's troops, if the undead army directly attack us after taking the plains line, do you have a way to stop them?"

"But we can't do anything about the precarious situation of the Plains Line now. Viscount Tiv subconsciously retorted, "The initiative in this war was originally in the hands of the undead legion, and what we have to do now is to preserve our strength for the decisive battle later, rather than blindly defending the area that has lost its value." ”

"I agree!" the orc prince Ribalo said in a loud voice, "abandoning the Plains Defense Line is the best option at the moment, and I even think Tilmanburg can give up." As he spoke, he walked to the map and picked up a charcoal pen to circle the area from Fort Tillmanburg to the Western Plains, "It's not a wise choice to fight with the million undead army here, give up this area and the western territory of Feld City, use this vast land to divide the million army gathered together, and then look for fighters." ”

"A good idea. Dean Selter, the commander of the Mage Tower's troops, his eyes lit up, "Introducing the Undead Legion into this vast land not only buys us enough time for our follow-up troop mobilization, but also is equivalent to introducing the Undead Legion into a huge encirclement. ”

"Put the Undead Legion into Felder Territory..."Lendin Reagan was stunned for a moment, frowning and thinking as he said, "Maybe it's a good choice, the large territory west of Felder City is equivalent to a huge pocket. ”

"I haven't thought about it that much. Ribalo smiled modestly, "I just think it's a waste of resources to fight against a million undead legions on the Plains Line. ”

"Such a long front..."General Amos stared at the narrow territory on the map, "the narrow front and the investment of nearly one hundred and fifty troops on both sides, this will be an unpredictable melee if..."

"There is no if, this war is your life and death!" "Lundin-Reagan looked at the king, "Your Majesty, I think His Royal Highness Prince Ribalo's plan..."

"Registrar, I would like to see the minutes of the meeting you wrote. Pedi interrupted his uncle and beckoned to the two clerks recorded in the corner.

The war room suddenly became silent, and the generals' eyes suddenly looked in the direction of the clerk.

In a quiet atmosphere, the minutes of the meeting were quickly delivered to Pedi.

"You go on—" Pedi whispered politely as he looked around, but no one in the war room spoke again.

After the silence lasted for five or six minutes, Pedi closed the minutes of the meeting and looked around at the people around him again, and finally fixed his gaze on General Aetia, "Your Excellency, what is your opinion?"

"I'm just here to help you complete the reorganization of your army and help you with the foreign affairs relationship with the Feld Lords and our elves. Aethia emphasized this very seriously, but then said: "However, I personally agree with His Royal Highness Prince Ribalo's plan, we are indeed not suitable for a head-on battle with the million undead legions. ”

Pedi smiled unconsciously when he heard Aetia's personal advice, and looked around, "I need to think for myself for a moment now. He handed the minutes of the meeting to Bowen Wright, "So, here for today's meeting." ”

"King Pedi, now is not the time to hesitate. Dean Celt clearly didn't understand the human king in front of him, and thought that the other party was still hesitating.

"We should believe King Pedi, Commander Dean. General Aetia glanced at Dean Selt, and then walked towards the door of the war room without looking back, and the other Kingdom generals who wanted to refute Dean Selt looked at each other and chose to remain silent, and walked towards the gate in turn.

Soon, only Bowenwright and Pedy were left in the originally crowded battle room.

Pedi leaned back on the railing of his chair, looked at the staggered markings on the map, and was silent for a long time, and then said, "You go and meet the lord of Rue-Yze in person, and call General Etia to go with you." ”

"Are you going to give up the western territory of Felder?" asked Bowenwright bluntly.

"When we were in Suker City, General Thranduil and I had already made a plan for the next three months in Feld, and General Thranduil and I both decided that giving up this territory was the best way to go. Pedi pointed to the map of the western part of Felder's territory.

"Lord Ruet..."

"General Thranduil has spoken to him in advance, and he will not embarrass you. Pedy played with the ruby ring on his thumb, "But we can't claim to give up Felder Territory, that would demoralize the Allies." "However, the war on the western defense line still has to be fought, and it must be fought resolutely, because this is the first battle after the Allied forces officially signed the agreement... In this way, after the battle is over, you pick a few brave soldiers, and I will personally wear the Medal of Honor for them. ”

At this time, Bowenwright could only nod: "Yes!"

"Well—" Pedi wanted to say more, but didn't seem to know what to say.

Seeing the king's hesitation, combined with what the king said just now, the old knight immediately understood what he wanted to say, he subconsciously buried his head in his chest, and said in a deep voice: "I think I should go to the western defense line to command the battle on behalf of the Allied forces, and I will try to gain more time." ”

"Have you thought about it?"

"No one is better suited than me!"

Pei Di didn't know what to say at this time, he was silent for a long time before standing up and patting the old sir on the shoulder, "I asked the logistics department to prepare a transmission device vehicle for you, and the western defense line only needs to hold on for two days." He looked at the wrinkles on the other party's face, "If you really can't hold on, you can come back early, and I can guarantee that you won't be held accountable." ”

"With the depth of the defense line from Fort Tillmanburg to the plains, it is not a problem at all to hold off the undead army for two days. "The question is, do we really need to do this?"

"I am a king, not a general. Pedi smiled wryly.

"I see. ”

The door to the "creak" war room was pushed open, and Erin Field, dressed in full costume, walked into the war room, "Hundreds of thousands of soldiers are waiting for their king, wanting to see their king crowned emperor with their own eyes." ”

"Haha!" Pedi smiled and patted Bowenwright on the shoulder, "Don't think so much, Sir, we will win this war, believe in our strength." ”

Bowenwright said solemnly: "I have full confidence in the Empire. ”
