The current situation in which the battle in the Iruk region has developed is not only a headache for the Empire, but also for the Elves and the merchant regimes of Elok Castle.

The Empire's defensive strategy in the hilly area southeast of Tyre Town left the elven army of 50,000 at a loss.

The indefinite prolongation of this war is not good for the elves who are on an expedition, and the supply line of thousands of kilometers from Feld to the military port of Yekjar to Fort Iruk is not a small burden even for the elves.

At the same time as the Imperial Cabinet meeting was being held, a large military meeting of more than 100 people was also taking place in the castle of Elouk. And it's been going on for two days, but every day is a mess from morning to dark and disbanded.

The same was true on the third day.

Today, the elven commander Lizzo Carlo left the noisy crowd behind at the beginning of the meeting and walked to the window of the hall, greedily breathing in the fresh air outside.

After a while, Fipott Bob and Cove Rambo approached. Cove-Rambo was not in good spirits, he smoked his cigar desperately, and the smell of tobacco that had disappeared in his nose suddenly became strong again, and he hated the man in front of him who smoked cigars.

"What's the matter?" the elf was always so polite, even though he resented the human in front of him.

Corve-Rambo and Fippott-Bob looked at each other, and finally Fippott said, "A boring meeting will only reduce the officers' confidence in combat, and we should be more honest so that this meeting can be over."

"What kind of honesty is needed?" asked the elven general.

Fipert was silent for two seconds, and he forced himself to meet the elven general's haughty eyes, "General Thrandir should have given you orders, we want to know your true plans, for the sake of the gods, please don't be perfunctory to us." ”

"Exquisite is not like humans, we never lie. "Our plan is to end this war in half a year, but as it stands, we are underestimated by the foundation of the empire. ”

"What about the current plans?" asked Cove-Rambo.

Rizzocaro's gaze flickered at Corve, and he did his best to hide his dislike for the human lord, "Now I'm waiting for General Thrandil's orders. He habitually sneered: "We hope that tomorrow we will be able to end the war and let the Empire admit defeat and sign the instrument of surrender." He pushed open a window to let the cold air into the hall, "but I knew it wasn't realistic, and two days of bickering at least let me know what we had to face." ”

Cove-Rambo nodded and took a greedy puff of his cigar before saying, "We originally planned to take advantage of the emptiness of the Imperial treasury to defeat their main force in one fell swoop and force the cabinet to sign the instrument of surrender, but for now... This is already very difficult to do. ”

Fipert immediately took over: "The commander stationed in the northwestern hills is the Marquis of Nepdo, he is the staunchest supporter of Duke Nick, so the empire will support him unconditionally... This man is cautious and patient, and if he is determined to wear it down, I am sure that his army will not be able to break out of the line for a long time to come. ”

"If the Imperial army can't retreat, we won't have a chance to break through the defenses with the help of the Paladin Legion. "Maybe we can consider withdrawing our troops?" attacking the Suker Plain from another place, such as the Manwes Grand Canyon where the Feld Territory and the Suker Plains meet, the Felder Territory's Rue-Eze is doing a good job, and if we add our support, it should soon change the tide of the battle." ”

Cove-Rambo spat out a puff of smoke and shook his head and said, "We can't quietly mobilize an army of 50,000 people, and then the soldiers of the Empire will arrive at the Manwees Grand Canyon faster than we do." ”

"Then start with Ronais Canyon?" said Rizzocaro, "Your intelligence officer said that there are only five thousand Imperial defenders there. ”

Fipott stared at the fading sky outside and whispered, "If it had been a month ago, I would have not hesitated to storm the Rhone Canyon, but not now... You should probably check out the terrain for yourself, where the Empire has built a fortress where their 5,000 defenders can be used for 50,000!"

"Oh?" said Lizzocaro stared at the two, "In that case... You should send your troops to occupy the port of Yekjar as soon as you take it. ”

Cove said regretfully: "We wanted to seize Ronice Canyon from the beginning... But, Your Excellency General, we only have two legions of strength, and we have four legions of the Empire and one corps of magicians to face. ”

"You lack courage!" said Lizzocaro, "I have seen many adult men in your city who have nothing to do, and you can recruit them to fight for you." ”

"Humans are not elves, and our citizens have become warriors without being able to take up arms. "Cove-Rambo was a little angry.

"That's why I say, you lack courage. Lizzo Carlo repeated.

The cigarette butt in Cove-Rambo's mouth suddenly became very bright, and the burning tobacco could represent his current mood, and as the lord of the Fort Eluk region, he had absolute reason to believe that the elven general's words were insulting him.

"Whew" Cove-Rambo spit a puff of cigarette directly into the elven general's face!

Fipert hurriedly took a small step forward and stood between Cove and Lizzocaro and said, "Your Excellency, we can discuss these issues at another time. He looked back and forth between Corway and Lizzocaro, "Now, what we need to deal with is the Imperial garrison in the northwestern hills. ”

Lizzocaro smiled calmly at Corway-Rambo's vicious gaze, a very proud smile, and then he leaned against the window and let the cold breeze blow on his face, and said indifferently, "If you have a way, say it." ”

Hearing this, Fipot immediately looked at Cove-Rambo and took a step back to signal the other party to speak.

Cove-Rambo tried not to let himself think about the unpleasantness just now and quickly organized the language: "In the attack and defense of Fort Iruk more than half a month ago, the Empire had countless opportunities to capture this castle, but they missed the opportunity again and again. "Your Excellency, do you know why they missed the opportunity?" he asked himself, "Because the real commander of that war was young Prince Sinda, who learned everything from his father, but not at all. ”

"I don't quite understand what you're trying to say, can you just say it?" Lizzo Karo's tone was a little impatient, he hated the way the human nobles said it from the bottom of his heart.

Fippert smiled and turned to the corner of the hall where the coffee was placed, and Cove-Rambo continued: "The empire is on the defensive in the northwestern hills, and it is actively raising money inside...", he smiled wryly, "If it lasts for a long time, the economy of Fort Elluk will be the first to collapse." ”

Lizzo Carlo still didn't understand what the other party was trying to say, but he didn't ask again, because at this time Fippold walked in with a tray, and his eyes were attracted by the coffee on the tray.

With a cup of coffee in their hands, Fipote put down the tray and said, "The Fort Iruk area closed all farms and pastures two months ago due to the war, and there is a shortage of necessary trade partners..."

"Do you want to reopen trade?Hoko Islands?, or Felder Territory?" Lizzo Carlo interrupted Fiport.

"If we can, whether it's the Hoko Islands or Felderland, our caravan will be happy to visit. Fipert smiled.

"But the problem is that you don't have any goods to trade. Lizzo Carlo stared at Fipott with the Elf's trademark sneer on his face, "You have to resume production first, it will take time, do you want to delay this war until a few years later?"

"We've lost all our advantage in this war, haven't we?" said Fiportt, "and behind us is the army of Crewe, and the young baron has transferred his entire legion to the Kumar Fortress. ”

"These are the latter questions. Corve-Rambo interrupted the conversation between Fipper and Lizzocaro, he looked at Fippert and said, "Your Excellency Lizzo Carlo and I are talking about the most important point. ”

"I'm sorry," Fippold shrugged.

Cove Rambo ignored Fipot and looked at Rizzocaro, "Just now we talked about the offensive and defensive battle of Fort Iruk more than half a month ago, and also talked about Prince Sinda... I've been thinking about that war a lot lately, so sometimes I can't help but wonder what would have happened if the commander of the garrison in the Northwest Hills had been Prince Sinda?"

"Young people are always obsessed with winning. Lizzo Carlo immediately understood what the other party was trying to say.

"Yes. Corve-Rambo grinned, revealing a row of smoky-blackened teeth, "Prince Sinda will be crowned Emperor of the Empire in a month, and he will certainly not forget the shame at Fort Eluk." ”

"Duke Nick is not a simple person, he can refuse even the request of Emperor Laubert, not to mention that the young emperor is still his son-in-law. "Lizzo Carlo is not optimistic about Zindah, "He needs to be a puppet emperor for at least ten years." ”

Cove-Rambo took a deep breath of his cigar and said, "Even you can see things clearly, I don't think His Royal Highness the young prince will not understand." ”

"We should help the poor prince. Fippott interjected.

Cove-Rambo patted the cigarette ash off his clothes and said, "Yes, we should help him." ”

"Assassination?" asked Rizzo Carlo.

"Do you think the death of Emperor Laubert will be repeated? Imperial guards and agents are not fools. Fipert shook his head, "We don't need Duke Nick's life, we just need to remove him from the position of prime minister." ”

"According to our intelligence, many high-ranking nobles in the empire have been planning to oust Duke Nick from the position of prime minister for the past thirteen years, but so far they have not succeeded. ”

"Now, we have a chance!" Fippert chuckled, "A new policy is being implemented within the Empire, and I have received reliable information that many nobles in the Empire are preparing to remove Duke Nick from the prime minister's position. ”

"Do you think Duke Nick is an idiot?"

"Duke Nick is smart, but we can help it. Cove-Rambo sneered, "When more than half of the nobles of the empire began to oppose their prime minister... You say, what's going to happen?"

"Great idea. "However, it may have been a year since you succeeded. ”

Cove-Rambo asked, "Do you still think it will only take a few months to defeat the Locke Empire?"

"For now, it's hard. ”

"So, we have to be prepared for a long time. "We need to have our own economic, cultural and political environment for this, and independent trade and independent regimes are the best place to start... So, we are ready to build our own country when Prince Sindar is crowned emperor. ”

Cove-Rambo immediately added: "We hope to have the support of the Kingdom of Misha and you. ”(https:)
