Fort Kawal, in Peidi's makeshift operations conference room, burning candles swayed back and forth in the cold breeze outside the window, and the operations staff officers of the staff office sat around a military combat map, deducing tactics and tactics, and occasionally disagreeing with each other.

Chief of Staff Sir Greck sat on his throne with a frown, and from his ugly expression it could be inferred that he was in a very bad mood at the moment, and from time to time he would draw charcoal on another map beside him as the staff corps deduced.

The Chief of Military Intelligence, Baron Danmen, sat on the other side with a blank face, and Sir Glick, who sketched in the map line, sometimes asked Baron Danmen some questions in a condescending manner.

"Bang Bang"

Without warning, the door was pushed open, and Pedi strode in, his tall figure pulling out a long black shadow in the candlelight to cover the entire doorframe behind him.

"You go on. Pedy interrupted the salute with a wave of his hand, and walked straight towards Sir Glick, asking at the same time, "Have you read all the military reports from the Twak Army?"

"Looked. Sir Grek nodded, and he and Baron Danmen stood up to face Pedi at about the same time,

Then, Grek said with some doubts: "But will the orcs really use five banner groups to attack Twak City? You must know that although the war in the Tefalo steppe is temporarily over, the 200,000 troops of the Central Empire are not gathered for His Majesty the Emperor to enjoy, if the commander of the orcs has no problem with his brain, he will definitely not divide the five flag groups to move towards Twak City." ”

This is a problem.

Pedi was also wondering about this place, and he didn't expect the orcs to send such a huge army to attack the Twak Territory, so the news that Duke Nick reminded Pedi that the orcs were adding to Twak City did not attract enough attention from Pedi.

Paddy did not answer the Chief of Staff, and walked over to the small wooden table beside Sir Glick where the map was placed, his hands on his desk, his eyes fixed on the staggered lines of deduction on it.

"The Barretts don't make such jokes. Baron Danmen glanced at Sir Glick and looked at Pedi and said, "Even if they were trying to get reinforcements, they wouldn't use such a ridiculous reason... If this is false news, and the Central Empire believes it, then something terrible will happen on the frontal battlefield. ”

"The orcs are indeed sending troops to Twak City... My father had sent me such a magical message a few days ago, but I thought it was just a regular reinforcement. Pedi stared at the dense enemy markers outside Twak on the map, and said with an expression of disbelief on his face: "I didn't expect that they would reinforce the elite of four flag regiments at once. ”

Sir Gorrik was stunned for a moment, then stared at Pedi with his candle-lit eyes, "If this news can be confirmed, maybe it will be good news for us!" he took a deep breath, "This is our chance, if we can find a way to trap the five banners of the orcs in Twak City, it will undoubtedly be very beneficial for the frontal battlefield." ”

As he spoke, the knight burst out laughing.

But Pedi was in no mood to laugh, because he knew that even if the orcs divided the troops in Twak City, it would be impossible for the main army of the Central Empire to start a decisive battle with the orcs at this time!

Even if both the military and his father agreed, the Lion Castle would not take any chances, and from Penny's hastily launched wedding, Pedy could see that the young prince did not have absolute trust in the Reagan family, and he would not let the army get out of the Lion Castle's control at such a time.

"Can you order the army held by His Majesty the Emperor?" Baron Danmen poured a basin of cold water.

"But we have the right to suggest. "This is our chance, the chance of the whole empire, the orcs have made a fatal mistake... They underestimated the resistance they encountered in the Twak Territory, and the soldiers of the Crewe Territory would make them suffer. ”

"It's you who overestimate the power in our hands, Sir. Baron Danmen reminded, "With our military strength simply not enough to compete with the five banners of the orcs. ”

"We have five legions!" retorted Sir Glick at once.

Baron Danmen looked at Sir Glick coldly and said, "The Kru Territory has just ended the war, and if all the troops in the Kru Territory are thrown into the Twak Territory, then more than half of the villages in the Crewe Territory will be occupied by bandits. ”

Sir Gorrick also glared at Baron Danmen, and he said in an unkind tone, "That is only temporary, when we win this war, I will cut off the heads of those bandits with my own hands." ”

Baron Danmen smiled and looked at Sir Glick like a fool, "Those villages are important supply points for our troops, if you don't have them, what would you do to drive the orcs?"

"Your cowardice will cost us this opportunity. ”

"You would regard this as cowardice!" Baron Danmen said disdainfully, "People call me 'the rat of the sewers', and you, they think of you as a noble knight, you actually..."

"Alright, both. Pedi stopped the two from arguing, he stared at Gorrik and asked, "Do you have any specific plans from the staff office?"

"I've done a couple of tactical exercises. In the face of Pedy's inquiry, Sir Glick suddenly spoke a little slurred, and he said in the smiling gaze of Baron Danmen: "We don't have the specific data of Twak City now, and we can't deduce a detailed battle plan. ”

"Hehe" Baron Danmen sneered when he heard this, and Pei Di also frowned slightly.

"So, what about your own advice?" asked Pedy.

Sir Glick said, "I propose to continue sending reinforcements to the Twak Territory, Earl Jack's Fourth Legion has nothing to do, and can send them to the Twak Territory." ”

"Well..."Pedi nodded slightly, grabbed the mark of the Fourth Legion in his right hand and played with it in his hand, and finally he said: "Count Jackev's troops do not need to be mobilized for the time being, let them be stationed in Sekka Town, I promised Duke Enxi that after the war with the goblins is over, I must help him fight against the Kingdom of Misha." ”

Pedi didn't want to mobilize the entire territory because of the Twak Territory's war, and he knew very well that the Central Empire could not cooperate with the Twak Territory's war on a frontal battlefield, so he made up a reason for it.

Ser Gorrik immediately said, "My lord, even if the Ella family of the Hoko Islands can win, it will not help much in the various battlefields of the Empire, and we should prioritize the war in the north of the Empire. ”

Pedi said coldly: "This is a matter of the reputation of the Reagan family, do you want me to lose my trust?"

Although the question of credibility is almost a piece of shit in the face of the fundamental interests of the Empire, Sir Gorrick has few reasons to refute this statement in the face of Pedy's grandiose statement.

"I doubt that the Staff Office will really be able to help me win this war. Pei Di's words were a bit heavy, but the inaction of the staff office today really made him a little unhappy, and his eyes fell on Baron Danmen, "There is also the military intelligence department, the staff office is so useless because of the delay in your intelligence... If you want to continue in your current position, you'd better cheer me up, because next time I don't want the Staff Office to come up with a workable solution in the event of an emergency, as it does today. ”

"I'm very sorry, my lord. Sir Glick did not explain further.

Baron Danmen immediately straightened up and quickly bowed his head in apology, while the other staff officers trembled and did not dare to move a finger.

This was Pedy's first outrage at the Staff Office.

"Also, the tactical deduction of front-line operations is not something that my command post needs to deal with!" Pei Di's eyes coldly swept over the map of the officers sitting in the middle, "Those things will be done by the front-line commanders, and they will do it better than you... And you, what I need your advice on is the specific adjustments that need to be made in the face of this emergency, and you don't even know your own responsibilities?"

"I'm very sorry, my lord. Sir Glick apologized again, cold sweat already oozing from his forehead.

"Get down for me!" Pedi waved his hand, "go get ready, we'll be on the way in two hours, and I'm going to go to the front line of Twak City to supervise the battle." ”

"Your Excellency—" Sir Gorrick was stunned.

"Go down!" said Pedy, in a low tone.

"Yes, my lord. Sir Grek bowed his head and bowed, and as he spoke, he retreated to the door with the members of the staff.

"Wait," said Pedi as everyone was about to walk out of the room, "Baron Danmen stayed... Also, call Hades and Don Wright here. ”
