As a vassal of Covinde, Viscount Grimmet's exaggerated etiquette at the moment was in line with his status, because the status of the foreign minister within the kingdom was extremely low.

Although Pedi did not like this etiquette, he did not stop Viscount Grimette, and when everyone witnessed this scene of dignity and humility, he gently tapped Viscount Grimette on the side shoulder with his saber, "I bear witness to your loyalty, Viscount. ”

"I want to go to the front line. Pedi made his own request.

"I don't need to make other arrangements, I just just go to the front line to have a look, lest you curse behind my back that I don't understand the situation on the front line and command indiscriminately at the command headquarters. Pedi had a joking tone in his words.

"This way—" Viscount Tive-Grimet stood up and made a gesture of invitation with a respectful attitude, and the generals behind him immediately gave way to a wide road for the two of them.

Pei Di looked at the crowd and frowned, "It's good for you to stay with me, and the others will disperse first." ”

...

The geography of the front line where the 6th Heavy Army was stationed was much harsher than Pedi had imagined, and although the previous area looked shambled, there was at least one road that could be passed.

And what was in front of Pedi at the moment was a barren land, between the ravines and the mountains, a rushing river like a huge spider's web, and at the end of this rushing river was a row of towering walls made of huge logs, which was another line of defense built by the town of Tyre.

At this moment, the early arrival laborers were digging a canal nearby to dredge the rushing river, and more laborers were pushing rudimentary carts back and forth to fill the swamp in front of them.

"The troops of Tyre destroyed the only road when they withdrew from the guard tower station. Tiff-Germet looked distressedly at the barren land ahead, at the rushing river, and his eyebrows furrowed.

"We are now in the downstream position of the jet stream. Anse Zora carefully observed the surrounding terrain, "If our enemy transports soldiers in small boats or rafts, it will take an hour at most to send them a corps over. He pointed to the laborers building the road in the distance, "What you need to do now is not to build bridges and roads, but to improve your forward camp as soon as possible." ”

"In fact, at least one brigade of soldiers was sent on the opposite side last night to storm our front-line camp along the rapids. Pointing to the busiest areas in the distance, "They destroyed our defensive towers along the river and raided our flanks. ”

"Karene Sibo isn't just good at defense, she knows how to get the most out of her opponent while defending. Anse Zora raised an eyebrow, "This place," he looked around, "too prominent... At the same time, support from the rear could not arrive for a short time, and the retreat was a very difficult thing. ”

"Is this a trap?" Peidi raised an eyebrow.

"The trap is not a trap, the garrison of Tyre cannot threaten the very foundation of the 6th Heavy Army, but they can harass us at night without interruption and delay our attack. Anse Zora shook his head: "The point is, there's nothing we can do about it. ”

"Yes, look over there. Tief-Gmet pointed to an inconspicuous spot on the other side of the riptide, "They even set up a special frontier camp there, where we tried to teleport by magic, but the mages told me that the space on the other side was set up with spatial confinement. ”

"A tricky question, do you have a solution?" asked Tive-Germet, Pedi as he walked towards the rushing riverbank.

"At the moment, we can only strengthen the defenses and dredge the river as soon as possible. The young commander followed the king, "We need more labor." ”

"I'll send you enough laborers. Pedi also had a headache about this, and blew up the Leinster Levee in the north on the opposite side, which directly caused a large area in the north of Iruk to become a swamp, and even indirectly affected the city of Iruk. Local magicians and maesters had explored the flooded Northern Territory and concluded that if the rapids that were now raging in the Northern Territory were to be dealt with, the canal from the city of Iruk to the southern coast would need to be widened, and the branch rivers of Leinster Falls should be dredged as much as possible.

"We can also build ships here, but it will take time again. Anse Zora walked over to the river and crouched down, feeling the speed of the river with her hands, "At such a speed, a simple wind magic can swim against the current." ”

"Time is of the essence in this war. Pedi muttered to herself.

"Your Majesty, we need..."

"I will send the Paladins and the Wizards to assist you, General. Pedi patted Tif-Gmet on the shoulder, interrupting him and giving him a promise.

The sound of the galloping war horse disrupted the conversation that the two wanted to continue.

However, at this moment in this area, horses are galloping, and when Pedi passed through the camp just now, he could see signs prohibiting horseback riding. Everyone turned their heads curiously and saw a heroic female knight... It was Minnie Wattle, who was galloping from the direction of the station, holding the MID flag.

"I hope my intelligence officer brings me good news. Pei Di deliberately said this in a very relaxed tone, but none of the generals around him could laugh.

"Your Majesty," Minnie Vatu jumped down and strode closer to the king, "something has happened. ”

"What's the matter?" Pedi asked in front of the generals.

"According to the regulations of the Military Intelligence Service, I need to report this news separately. Minnie-Vatu didn't seem to see anyone else around, "And I suggest you return to Command right now." ”

"Are you serious?" Pedi hadn't gotten used to Minnie Vatu's style of doing things.

"This is merely a suggestion, Your Majesty. ”

"Your Majesty... The purpose of your coming here has been achieved. Anse-Zora reminded softly.

Pedi was silent for a moment, then turned to look at Tiff Germet, "You will be stationed here on behalf of the kingdom and on my behalf. ”

"This is my glory, Your Majesty. ”

"Good!" Peddy patted the young general on the shoulder encouragingly, then turned to look at his court archmage Leah, "Looks like we're going to have to travel through space again." ”

...

The King's separate office area of the Elok City Command, and Pedi, who had been teleported back from the front line, immediately dismissed all the staff officers in the office, leaving Minnie Vatu alone.

"What news did you bring with you?"

"It's a message from Director Danmen Green, and a secret letter from Her Majesty the Queen. Minnie Vatu placed a letter she had with her on the king's desk.

"Duke Andy Barrett of the Highlands Prairie is secretly plotting an attack on Harrence Heights. Minnie Vatu was always so direct, she said as she arranged the documents on the king's desk in order, and finally took out a magic photograph, "Ike, once served as your chief of staff at the Fortress of Coron, and this information was basically provided by him. ”

Pedi had planned to open the letter from the queen to him first, but watching Minnie-Wa take out the documents like a trick, listening to the news she brought, he paused slightly and put down the envelope. He gave the female knight a few serious glances, then picked up Ike's magical photo, "I remember that after the defeat at the Battle of Kranling, Ans-Zora led the remnants of the Fifth Legion to retreat to the Highlands, and Sir Ike—" he shook his head and didn't continue.

He later became a staff officer in the Court Staff of the Duke of Andy Barrett. Minnie Vatu took over the king's topic.

"Let me see what news he brings me. Pedi opened the front document, which was a battle plan.

"This plan is a draft plan drawn up by Sir Ike from his memory to restore the Duchy of Twak to attack the Harrance Heights. Minnie Vatu explained, and waited quietly for the king to read it.

The deliberately relaxed expression on Pedy's face turned serious as time passed, and when he finished reading the plan, he couldn't help but look at the key parts of it again before picking up the second document.

"This is the document provided by Sir Ike regarding the conscription plan for the Highlands and the deployment of troops around Twak City. Minnie Vatu explained again.

Pedi had little interest in the document, and as a king, he didn't need to pay attention to such a thing, and when he heard Minnie Vatu's words, he put down the unopened file and picked up the third one.

"This is the relevant information about Twak Territory compiled by the Military Intelligence Service, combined with Sir Ike's words... We conclude that Twak Heights may have been discussing plans to attack Haru's temporary heights, but no substantive action has been taken. Minnie Vatu maintained her serious countenance, "Maybe this information is just an imaginary plan of the Highland Grass Cabinet government, not an implementation plan. ”

"Since they have such a plan, it proves that in their subconscious mind, the kingdom is their greatest enemy at present. Pedi flipped through the third document, "I remember... Marquis Daisily Pombo is in Twak City, has he sent any news back?"

"After the MIA received Sir Ike's information, the first time I approached the Marquis Daisily Pombo from the side, he... I don't seem to know anything about it. Minnie Vatu answered truthfully everything she knew, "However, in her previous report to the Prime Minister's Government, Daisily Pombo had also mentioned that the Duke Andy Barrett's cabinet government had many plans to attack Harrence Heights, but... The Marquis of Pombo did not pay attention to this matter, and he treated it as a daily matter. ”

"Do you take this seriously?" Pedi flipped through the two pages of the MI report and closed the file, "so much so that he called me back from the front to report on it?"

"Your Majesty, we have less than two corps of troops stationed in the Harrence Heights, and if the army of the Highlands Steppes is successful, they can easily cut off the connection between the northern and southern territories of the kingdom, and more importantly... We have amassed enough supplies in the northern territories to arm hundreds of thousands of troops!" Minnie Vatu looked at the king, "What's more, and—" Her subconscious words stopped as soon as she spoke, because the next words were not for someone of her stature to say.

Moreover, there is the presence of the Corvinde Territory to the north, and the remnant nobles of the Byan Territory who oppose the rule of the kingdom. Pedi added this sentence in his heart, but on the surface he didn't seem to hear Minnie Vatu's persuasion, he stacked the three documents together, "What you should do now is to try to plot against the nobles of the Suke Plains, and try to find out the military deployment and battle plan of Tyre, which is related to the intelligence of the highland grasslands..."

Peddy shook his head in the middle of his words, as if he didn't care about the information.

Minnie Vatu looked at the king seriously, she didn't think that the king really didn't care about this matter, but the king still didn't give her a chance to speak, which made her ready advice only rot in her stomach.

"Stand down. Pedi waved his hand slightly.

Minnie Vatu watched the king try to open the queen's letters, so she had to take a deep breath to keep her calm countenance, and then left the office in an orderly manner.

The office door opened and closed, and when Pedi was the only one left in the empty room, he looked up at the closed door. In fact, Pedi admires Minnie Wattle, a female knight with a brilliant mind, bold and straightforward, and at the same time possesses rare patience.

However, that doesn't mean that Pedi can tolerate the other party being in his office and overstepping her authority to talk about topics she shouldn't be talking about, even if the other party's opinion itself is not wrong!

"Jingle Bell" After reading the letter his wife had written to him, Pedi rang the bell on his desk, and Wolfma immediately pushed the door and entered.

"Bring in Sir Bowenwright and Director Donwright. ”
