Section 42

Not surprisingly, the other three except the Duke of Chester were woken up by the cacophony of grass talking and knocking at the door, and when they had each found their place to sit down, the housekeeper entered the hall with a young man and a thin man dressed as a magician.

"Wright?" the Duke of Chester straightened up, pressed his thumb his forehead, tilted his head sideways and looked at his servant suspiciously, and then his gaze rested on the magician behind him, "What happened?"

"There's some news from Cullen City, I think you'd better hear it now!" Wright said, bowing.

"Do we need to avoid it?" asked the Duke of Gna, after taking a hot towel from the maid and wiping his face.

"It's not a secret. The magician's weak voice came, and on the way there, Hu Cong Wright had already told him what was here, and he glanced at the four of them slightly and said, "I think you should all listen to it." ”

"I'm listening. The Duke of Chester motioned for the magician to begin his debriefing.

"Whew" The magician must be very tired, he took a few breaths and sat down on the chair brought by the middle-aged butler, lowered his head and began to sort out his slightly chaotic thoughts, and after about a minute, he spoke: "I have brought some information that Sir Braderidley needs me to convey..."

The magician began to narrate...

It wasn't complicated, and the magician named Jab knew a lot about the art of language, and in less than three minutes he was able to explain it.

After the magician finished speaking, he began to enjoy the wheat porridge brought by the maid, and the other four of them all had a trace of shock and doubt between their eyebrows, and fell into a long silence with these doubts...

It wasn't until the maid brought the steaming decanter that Count Ron looked at his butler as if he had suddenly remembered something, "Kim, is there any news from Crane?"

"As of 11 p.m. yesterday, there has been no news from the Crane Consulate. Kim replied cautiously.

"Now take a look. Count Ron put down the decanting soup in his hand, "You go yourself!"

The Duke of Chester bowed his head and muttered for a moment, then looked at his servant and said, "Send out the Blood Eagle to tell Deli that I agree to send reinforcements to the Crane Territory, and the specific situation is up to him, but he must not go to Anku Fortress in person!"

"Yes, sir!"

"On behalf of Anku Fortress and the Clans, I thank you, Duke of Chester. Count Ron's face was full of gratitude.

The Duke of Chester only nodded, he looked at the exhausted magician, and said, "You should thank Lord Jab. ”

Only then did Count Ron react, and he hurriedly said, "Your Excellency Yabu, if you don't mind, you can rest in my villa. ”

"Of course, please arrange it for me now!" Yabu didn't shirk at all, such a long-distance teleportation, even if there were more people to assist, he was a little overwhelmed.

Earl Ron immediately turned to look at the maid closest to him, "Take Lord Jab to rest...", after a pause, he glanced at the other maids and servants and added, "All of them retreat and rest, and they are not allowed to enter this hall without an order." ”

Duke Gna straightened up as the maid and manservant left, then stood up and walked to the candlestick, stirring the wick with a knife, and whispered, "Everyone, it seems that we have to face up to this orc invasion. ”

Count Ron lowered his head and said, "The Klan Territory has always taken the war of invasion by the Orcs very seriously, especially in recent decades, my grandfather once warned us that if we don't make changes, the Orcs will surpass the Empire in the near future...

Actually, I've always been glad that Count Anse was able to defeat the orcs in time eleven years ago, he bought us eleven years, and we should all be grateful to him, instead of accusing him of 'disobeying the orders of the military department'!"

The Duke of Chester nodded, looked at the other three and said, "And we didn't cherish these precious eleven years. ”

At this time, Duke Enxi, who had been frowning and thinking, suddenly raised his head: "The information from Karen City reminds me of something, a matter about goblins..."

Speaking of this, he paused for half a beat, as if organizing words, and only when a few people were about to get impatient did he continue: "I got the news some time ago that the goblins suddenly recalled their large merchant ships in various ports a month ago, and at the same time, indiscriminately acquired all kinds of small and medium-sized merchant ships eliminated by the Imperial Sea Route Traders..."

"What do you want to say?" Duke Gna couldn't help but interrupt.

"The sea trade has long been saturated..."Enxi wanted to explain, but seeing the puzzled looks of the other three, he immediately changed his statement, "The materials that the entire Alan Continent needs to be transported by sea are more than enough for the goblins, elves, and the current freight volume of our Locke Empire!"

"Moreover, the merchant ships purchased by the goblins and the merchant ships recalled by themselves were not immediately put into transportation, but all recalled to the country, you should know that if such a huge fleet is only placed in the port, the maintenance cost alone is an astronomical amount, do you think with the nature of the goblins, they will do such a loss-making transaction?"

Duke Enxi sat up straight, took out a half-smoked cigar from his bosom, put it in his mouth, and said, "What do you think the goblins will do with these merchant ships?"

"Transport!" the Duke of Chester stood up suddenly, "they're going to help the orcs transport soldiers!"

"It's entirely possible!" Duke Enxi said after igniting the cigar on his lips with a worried face, "Before, I always thought that the goblins planned to form a large trading team to compete with our Human Sea Chamber of Commerce for resources, but the information sent by His Excellency Yabu made me change this mind. ”

"The orcs want to raid our rear city?" Count Ron reacted.

Duke Gna nodded, "Very likely, with the help of the goblins, they can even go straight to the Yekjar Military Port and directly threaten our imperial capital, Suke City!"

"This can't be!" Duke Enshi shook his head, "Don't think of the Imperial Navy as an ornament, the goblins can't directly attack the Yekjar military port through such a long coastline... If I were an orc commander, my target would be the town of Balan, where, because of the development of trade in recent decades, almost a third of the area is actually in the hands of the goblins, if they cooperate inside and out..."

"We should tell Duke Nick about this at once!" the Duke of Chester looked at the clock on the wall, and it was still half an hour before six o'clock.

"It seems that we are going to be late for the meeting..."Duke Gner showed a reluctant smile, "This question, we must come up with a definite policy at the meeting later!"

Everyone nodded involuntarily, and after glancing at each other, they all had to leave Count Ron's villa one after another...

They need to go and prepare for a meeting for a while.
