The question asked by Pedi was very sudden, but very strong about the military profession. So the other ministers except Sirah-Marne and Morinda all subconsciously shrank their heads, as if they were afraid that the king would ask them.

However, in the face of this question, even Sira Marne and Morinda were not able to answer it in the first place. Pedi is not in a hurry, he wants accurate advice, not random perfunctory.

After a long silence, it was still Morinda who was the first to stand up and say, "What if... Her Highness Penny is really able to unify the Suk Plain and occupy the southern defensive line of the town of Tyre, with the power of the entire Suk Plain, as long as the commander is not too stupid, it should not be a problem for us to consume five years. ”

The old orcs seemed to value the war in Elok more than anyone present.

"Are you willing to wait another five years?" said Pedi, looking around.

Five years is almost negligible for a king, but for a king it may represent his most glorious time.

The ministers still can't answer the question, or they still have time to think about it.

"Even if you're willing to wait, I won't wait!"

Pedi asked and answered himself, and his words were sonorous.

"But... Your Majesty, the battle of the Eluk Territory is at a critical juncture, and we simply don't have the extra forces to bother with the affairs of the Tyre area. Drahir didn't want problems in the battle of El Luk Territory now, he looked at Pedi very seriously and said: "I can guarantee that if the matter in Tyre Town is really planned by Penny Reagan, the Elven Kingdom will definitely investigate to the end, and I can say right now, no matter what happens, the Elven Kingdom will always support you to rule the Suke Plains, not Penny Reagan." ”

"What support do you use?" Morinda immediately said, "Ferrola of the Karen Territory will not give up such a good opportunity, as long as she is not too stupid, she will definitely prevent us from completing the unification of the Eastern Continent, and now what Her Highness Penny has done just gives her the opportunity." ”

"Why don't you let the army of Stone-Silveraxe go south?" Sir Bipp offered softly. His voice was soft, but it immediately captured the attention of everyone in the office.

Pedi was slightly startled when he heard this suggestion, and unconsciously wiped the ruby ring on the thumb of his left hand.

"Let the orcs enter the Suk Plains, it is better to let Her Highness Penny control it. Before Peddy could say anything, Sira Marne's indifferent voice echoed through the office. As a participant in the Battle of Klan Territory and the Battle of the Highlands Steppe, her hatred for orcs runs deep in her bones.

"I'm just making a suggestion. Sir Bipp's voice became softer.

Draxier looked at the king who was lost in thought, and said in a strengthened tone: "You should trust your allies, General Thranduil will take care of the affairs of the Suk Plains, and the main thing we have now is to sweep away the undead legions led by Iruk as soon as possible, and then gather heavy troops to deal with the main force of the undead legions led by Karon." ”

"I believe that your first general has such strength, but I think it is more appropriate for your main force to keep the undead army led by Cullen in check. Pedi's words were full of diplomatic perfunctory, "The town of Tyre is an important part of the entire battle of the Eluk Territory, and I can't ignore what is happening in the town of Tyre right now. ”

"Isn't what is happening in the Iruk Territory right now exactly as Fippott-Bob confessed?" said Pierk Lord, with his large hands on the map, "Our main forces are entangled with the undead in the Southern Plains, and Penny has not only succeeded in capturing the town of Tyre, but has also removed the obstacles that stand in her way from unifying the Suk Plains. ”

"But..."

"General!" Pedi tilted his head to meet Drahir, "I need your advice, not opinion..."

Drahir's face flushed, but Pedi didn't have time to care about the elven general's feelings, he looked at Sira Marne and asked, "If we transfer the main forces gathered in the Eluk Territory to the north and seize the southern defense line with the army of Suk City, is there still a chance?"

"Your Majesty, victory in the Southern Plains is in sight!" Syrah-Marne subconsciously reminded, "If we give up encirclement and suppression at this time, everything we have paid in the Illuk Territory before will be in vain... Maybe your order is correct, but the soldiers in front will not understand your order, which will undoubtedly be a great blow to the morale of the army... Even Bowenwright is likely to refuse to accept the order. ”

Peddy said firmly, "Sir Bowenright will understand this order, and he will calm the soldiers' emotions!"

Drahir wanted to say something: "But..."

"The undead legion led by Illuk has long been no threat to our layout in Illuk. Pedi unceremoniously interrupted the Elven Advisor's words, and said very seriously, "I want the Suke Plains now, not the Eluk Territory!"

With each word he spat out, Peddy had to speak in a stern tone, and with a rare excitement. He did have reason to be excited, after all, according to the original plan, when he ended the war with the undead legion under the leadership of Iruk, he could enter the Suke Plain and become a veritable master of the Eastern Continent.

His stern tone silenced all those who were ready to persuade.

Then, these people all looked at the old orc Morinda Morinda with his eyelids lowered and thinking.

"The town of Tyre can be captured in just one night, but it is impossible to end the chaos in just one night. Morinda felt the gaze from the ministers, and knew it was time to speak, "Although the armies of the city-state alliance of the Suk Plain have suffered heavy losses due to mutual attacks, their influence still exists, so... I feel like we have plenty of time to take the southern line of defense in Tyre. ”

Pedi immediately understood what the old orc meant, and after a few seconds of silence, he looked at Sira Marne, "In the name of the Ministry of War, send an order to Sir Bowenlet, so that he can go north to capture the southern defense line of Tyre. ”

"Yes!" Sira Marne gritted her teeth and ordered.

Drahir shook his head when he heard this order, took two steps back and looked at Pedi and said, "I'm a little uncomfortable, please allow me to retire first." Without waiting for his consent, he took two steps back and walked towards the door without looking back.

Pedi squinted at Drahir who was leaving, and when the elven general pushed the door open and walked out of the room, he looked at Sir Bipp, the prime minister, and ordered: "Send a letter to the Duchy of Twak and the Kamok Khanate in the name of the Allies, asking them to gather forces to contain the undead army at the northern entrance to the Karon Territory." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. Sir Bipp was a little bitter because it was an easy errand.

Pedi looked back at his secretary-general, "In my name, I have sent a letter to General Thrandil, asking him to make sure that the situation on the Suk Plains is stabilized. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”

Then, Pei Di looked at Morinda again, "The Military Intelligence Department is temporarily under your coordination, and you will find out the information on the Suke Plain as soon as possible." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Well—" Pedi looked down in thought and beckoned to Sir Benjie Alva, the clerk of the office. Sir Alva immediately picked up the transcript of the conversation and stepped forward.

Pedi looked around at the conversation log and said:

"Let's all go down first. ”

Naturally, the ministers did not dare to stay any longer, and bowed and retreated in turn.

When it was Cowlier's turn to salute, Pedi suddenly said, "I need my orders to reach the front line as quickly as possible, so I will ask Herman to open the castle mage tower, and you can use the teleportation array inside." ”

"Also, Cowlier stays. ”

...

In the vast training camp of the Knights of Kawarburg, the camp that was originally very relaxed is now extremely crowded, and the newly built row of wooden houses next to it is very conspicuous in a completely different style from the castle building.

The musket regiment selected by the whole army has completed the assembly of a brigade in advance, and the three-month training began yesterday under the leadership of pre-trained instructors.

"Bang... Bang..."

The sound of muskets had been ringing this morning, and the pungent smell of gunpowder could spread to the twilight square outside the castle.

Of course, the only ones who can use muskets now are the knights of the castle.

In the attic of the Castle Knights' Residency Headquarters next to the training ground, Pedy and Collier leaned against the window and watched the bustling training ground below.

"Do you see the power of the musket?" Pei Di pointed to the training knight and swept away the gloomy look in the office just now, the whole person was obviously full of confidence, "Do you know why I stayed alone to take you and take you to see the training here?"

"You want to ask about the Wild Deer Mountain Non-commissioned Officer Academy?" Collier said in a tone of disbelief.

"My original plan was to gradually expand this musket regiment to 50,000 men in the next few years, but...", Peddy said in as low a voice as possible, "but now I can't wait that long, we need to expand the army again, but I don't have officers who can command this army, so... At present, the main task of the Yelushan Non-commissioned Officer Academy is to train officers who can command this army as much as possible, and I will use it in half a year at most!"

"Yes!" Cowrell would never refuse such an order, though it was a bit of a strong man's errand.

"Pedal Pedal Pedal" echoed in the attic with a brisk footstep between the two conversations. Soon, a small figure climbed up the attic panting.

"This place is tall enough!" Omiqi, who was wearing a lab coat, appeared at the staircase sweating profusely, wiping the sweat beads from his face as he said, "How's it going... Your Majesty, the magic muskets provided by the laboratory are still working, right?"

"It's really useful, but it would be even better if you could make a musket that ordinary soldiers could use directly. Peddy motioned for Collier to step aside, and invited the goblin advisor to sit down on a square stool at the round table in the middle of the attic.

"That kind of sophisticated trigger structure, although there is no problem with our manufacturing technology, it is impossible to mass-produce it, unless there is some new technology that can mass-produce the parts required for the structure. Omic was still panting, and his whole face turned red at the words.

Pedi looked at Omic's appearance and unconsciously felt much better, and he personally took a glass of ale from the attic barrel for the other party, and said, "I didn't ask you to make it right away... You don't have to pretend to be pitiful, I didn't come to you alone today to talk about it. ”

The pitiful look on Omiqi's face vanished as soon as he took the glass, and by the time Pedi had finished speaking, half a glass of ale had been poured into his stomach.

"What do you want to talk about?" Omich said, wiping his mouth with his overalls, "You are the boss, and your words are the will of the gods to me, so you only need to tell me anything." ”

"I want to stock up on at least 100,000 Magic Muskets in the next six months. Pedi sat across from Omiqi, lightly drew a number on the table, and said, "With the current productivity of the Laboratory Arsenal, can it be done?"

"This—" Omiqi didn't answer immediately, he muttered for a long time before saying, "Although the ignition circle of the magic energy musket is not complicated, it also requires an apprentice who has studied basic magic for at least three years to sketch slowly, and it requires a lot of high-quality ironwood. ”

"Are those difficulties?" asked Pedi earnestly.

"Yes!" Omich replied in the affirmative this time, and it was crisp.

But Pei Di fell into deep thought, sketching 100,000 fire initiation circles, and it would take half a year to complete, which required a very large team of mages. But the mage was no ordinary worker, and it was undoubtedly a huge expense to hire them, and the money was enough for him to raise another and larger army.

"How much does a magic musket cost? Pedi asked.

"At least twenty crowns!"

Pedi frowned and said, "That is, only five crowns cheaper than a compound longbow,"

"But a qualified archer needs to be trained from an early age, and it takes only a few months to train a musketeer. What's more, the Magic Musket allows mages and even magic apprentices to have more powerful attacks. As he spoke, Omich jumped off his stool, went to the window, and pointed to the knights and soldiers who were training outside, and said:

"Your Majesty, if these people are all magicians, I can bet you that you can conquer any city on this continent with only a thousand men. ”

"You underestimate war too much!" Pei Di leaned lightly against the wooden table, and said something serious in a very calm tone, "The key factor in the success or defeat of a war is not only the army that has always been strong, sometimes even if you have the largest army in the world, you may not be able to conquer anyone, such as the current orcs, they are almost all soldiers, but they still can't capture the Suk Plain, but sometimes even if you don't have a single soldier, there will be a large number of people who are willing to follow you, such as..."

Pedi's words came to an abrupt end, and Omich subconsciously asked, "Like who?"

"For example, the 'King of Light' in the north, he has nothing, but he can gain the allegiance of the Holy Knights of the Church, don't you think this is strange?" said Pei Di in a very embarrassed and reminiscing tone.
