In Pedy's private study, high up in the tower in the southeast corner of Fort Caval, Sir Bowenlight, the Marquis of Daisier, and the Knight of Syrah deduce tactics on a map on the wall.

It has been more than seven hours since the three were summoned by Pedi in the morning.

At noon, after receiving the visiting nobles in the main hall of the castle, Pedi came straight to the place with Erin Phier, bringing a lunch prepared in the kitchen, a roast meat and a glass of red wine per person.

Soon, the cramped study was temporarily turned into a dining room.

When everyone raised their glasses, Erin Phier asked, "Do you still insist on fighting this war?"

"Even if the elves and werewolves join forces, we may not have a chance of winning. Pedi used a silver fork to deal with the roast meat on his plate and said, "We have the help of the Mage Tower. He looked up at Erin Fil as he spoke, "Doesn't the Mage Tower want to help the allies?"

"Gratuitous help is limited to this time, are you sure you want to use this opportunity to fight an uncertain war?" "Erin Fei'er fiddled with the vegetables on her plate with her knife and fork, "You should use this opportunity to..."

"My dear, every war is full of uncertainty. Pedi interrupted his fiancée, "Countless examples in history have taught us not to decide whether to win or lose a war until it is over. ”

Hearing this, Erin Fei'er's beautiful eyes blinked slightly, and her gaze swept to the side of the three people who were enjoying lunch 'seriously' with their eyelids lowered, and then whispered, "I just wanted to remind you that it was a very unwise decision to waste the promise of the Mage Tower in vain... The power of Eternal Wings is not something you can imagine, and you should use this power where it is more suitable. ”

"For example?" said Pedy, holding his glass.

"For example, the battle of the Plains of Iruk..."

"Haha!" Peddy interrupted Erin Phier with a chuckle, and he looked at his fiancée, "Do you think Prince Sinda will allow others to intervene in the Battle of Elok?" as he spoke, looking at Marquis Daisili, "Marquis, do you tell me that our Miss Mage, Prince Sinda, who has an army of 100,000 in her hands, will let us intervene in the Battle of Eluk?"

"But the Prince's Messenger had..."

"No nobleman likes to share his honor with outsiders!" said the Marquis of Daisyri, "and even more so royalty, the people of the Danediv family always like to present themselves as heroes of the Empire." ”

The words that Erin Phier wanted to say were swallowed back into her stomach after the old marquis's words landed, and Pedi picked up her glass and clinked glasses with her to relieve the slightest embarrassment caused by the conversation just now.

"However, we really do not fit in to wage war against the town of Yekjar at this time. Knight Sila was still sticking to the opinion he had made a few days ago, "The Combined Fleet is the only fleet left in the Empire right now, if..."

"Tuk Tuk"

A knock on the door interrupted the female knight's words, and then, the voice of Baron Danmen came from outside the door: "My lord, there is the latest military report of the United Fleet." ”

"Come in. Pedi put down his knife and fork.

Baron Danmen was still dressed in the gray aristocratic robe of the morning, and he looked at the few people who were dining, and he was stunned, while everyone in the room put down their knives and forks because of what he called the 'latest military report'.

"Military newspaper, baron. Pei Di looked at the distracted Baron Danmen with a displeased expression.

"The message from the Combined Fleet came by magic two hours ago. Baron Danmen turned over and trotted over to Pedi, handing him the square plank with the words written on it that had remnants of elemental power, "Colonel Buck led the first and second detachments of the Combined Fleet to the fleet round of the Port of Razin and the Mage Tower..."

Baron Danmen deliberately paused for half a beat when he said this, and after taking a deep breath, he said in a deep voice, "But the third, fourth, and fifth detachments are missing. ”

"Missing?" said Pedi muttered, then quickly scanning the board.

"This joke isn't funny at all!" Knight Cyra stared at Baron Danmen, "As the Chief of Military Intelligence, you shouldn't use the word missing to describe the whereabouts of these three detachments, you should do your best to find them!"

"No one can say what is going on on the sea, Knight Syra. Bowenwright suddenly grabbed the word when Baron Danmen was about to retort, and he stared at Baron Danmen, "But the MIA is suspected of dereliction of duty." ”

The old knight's words immediately left Knight Cyra and Baron Danmen speechless.

At this time, Pedi finished reading the contents of the board, and he looked at Erin Feier, "The last place where the fourth and fifth detachments were stationed is in Luoxin Port, and the third detachment has been in contact with the Mage Tower, I need to know what happened." ”

"I'll do it. Erin Phier put down her knife and fork, nodded to everyone, and walked out of the study quickly.

"My lord, the key question now is what to do with the Combined Fleet?" Marquis Daisiri reminded Pedi, "and..."

"The combined fleet should be ordered to set off for the Yekjar military port immediately!" Sir Bowenlett suddenly hit the Marquis of Daisyri, "Our enemies are doing such a thing in the Yekjar military port, which is enough to show that they attach great importance to this landing, so, my advice is simple, stop the elves' plans in the Yekjar military port at all costs!"

"I agree with Sir Bowenwright's suggestion. Knight Silla's voice rang out, and she changed her opinion, "Although this will cost the Combined Fleet a lot of losses, if you can stop the elves' movements, or find out the elves' plans, the losses will be worth it." ”

"Relying on the first and second detachments alone is not a threat to the elven fleet at all. Marquis Daisiri shook his head, "We need the help of the Mage Tower. ”

"Wow" Pedi stood up suddenly, he looked at Knight Sira, "Send an order to Colonel Buck in my name, so that he can lead the fleet to the port of Yekjar after receiving the order... Tell him clearly that if he finds an elven fleet, he doesn't need to ask for instructions, and he will go to war directly!"

"Click" Just as Pedi was about to walk out of the room, the door to the study opened by itself, and it was Erin Phier who went and returned.

"The Board of Directors has already sent a message. Holding a square wooden block similar to the one Baron Danmen had handed to Pedi just now, Eileen Phil explained, "The third detachment arrived near the Yekjel military port three days ago, and two days ago, the third detachment and the mages who were on the reconnaissance mission with them lost contact with the mage tower after receiving an order from Colonel Barker!"

"You said this was two days ago?" Baron Danmen's face changed.

Erin Fei'er nodded, "The fourth and fifth detachments also received orders from Colonel Buck at the same time, and then left Luoxin Port. She and Pedi looked at each other, "Because this is an internal transfer of the Combined Fleet, the Mage Tower didn't bother... It wasn't until three hours ago that the Combined Fleet arrived at the Mage Tower in Luoxin Harbor to find out that this matter was not so simple, and the Mage Tower was already investigating the matter. ”

"There was a problem with the communication of our intelligence system. Sir Bowenright picked up his pipe and played with it in his hand, and his gaze swept over Baron Danmen, "Our enemies have been prepared, their plans are being realized step by step, and now we need to muddy the situation in the military port of Yekjar, and the chaotic situation is more beneficial to us." ”

"Send my order to Colonel Buck at once. Pedi urged Knight Syra.

As the knightess stood up, Pedi said to his fiancée, "I need the fleet of the Mage Tower to cooperate with our combined fleet. ”

"As I said, this time the Wings of Eternity will stand firmly on our side. Eileen Field's tone was affirmative.

"In that case," said Sir Bowenlet, "then let the mages of Eternal Wings send more magical warriors, and we need to capture the military port of Yekjar in two days!"

"No problem!"

Marquis Daisiri added: "Also, harass the southern part of the Fort El Luk area as much as possible, and cut off the connection between the rebels and the military port of Yekjar. ”

"Anything else?" asked Erin Field.

Pedy looked at the staggered diagram of the attack on the map that Sir Bowenright had drawn with charcoal, thought for a few seconds and said, "That's it for now!"

When Erin Phier walked out of the room, the Marquis of Daisiri said, "We should put proper pressure on the rebels led by Elok so that they do not dare to easily divide their forces to rescue the port of Yekjar. He pointed to the Kuma Fortress: "You can increase the troops to the Kuma Fortress!"

"Good idea!" said Sir Bowenwright's eyes lit up.

These two actually regarded Kumar Fortress as the territory of Krewe!

"Then let the Eleventh Legion move towards Kumar Fortress in the name of training, but the movement must not be too obvious!" Pedi did not want to challenge Prince Sinda's fragile nerves.

After the two old men glanced at each other, Marquis Daisiri, who was the commander of the Eleventh Legion, said, "I'll arrange it immediately." ”

...

On the front line of Tyre, within Prince Sinda's headquarters,

The Minister of War, Marquis Barry Victor, and the Prince's Staff also deduced on the map the course of the war at the military port of Yekjar.

"After the troops of the Mage Tower joined the war, the fighting in the town of Yekjar was basically stable. Marquis Barry looked at Prince Sinda, "At least there won't be much change in the short term." ”

The military department did not spend much energy on the affairs of the Yekjar military port, and did not set up a special agency to communicate with the Kru Territory, which led to the Marquis of Buck's intelligence on the Yekjar military port only on the surface.

"Since this is the case, then give the order for a storming of Fort Iruk as soon as possible. "The Commander of the Ninth Legion, Sir Kim Valer, as the only Legion Commander present, immediately made his attitude known.

Prince Sinda remained cautious as he looked at Marquis Buck, "What is the attitude of the Paladin Legion now?"

Buck said: "News came from the imperial capital in the morning, the Prime Minister Duke Nick and the church have reached an agreement, if the elves appear in the Iruk area, the Paladin Legion will come to reinforcements immediately. ”

"I need them to come right now. Prince Sindar frowned, "I'll provide them with all the supplies they need. ”

"No one can forcibly command the Paladin Legion, Your Highness. Marquis Buck shrugged.

"Okay," Prince Sinda paused, and after a few seconds of silence, he squeezed out a sentence: "I hope they can keep their promise." ”

Then, with a serious face, the prince glanced at the people around him and said in a loud voice, "Send orders to the front-line generals... Five days, no, three days, in three days I need to see the Lion Banner of the Danediv family flying high above the walls of Fort Eluk!"

"Your Highness—" Marquis Buck wanted to say something, but Prince Sinda rushed in front of him and said to Sir Kim, "Take this land, and you will become the new masters of this land!"

He promised a great reward!
