Chapter Ninety-One: Fort Horn?
Lelouxiu's dissent made the entire venue instantly polarize, the old nobles looked at Lelouch angrily, and although the young nobles didn't dare to show it too obviously, the appreciation and recognition in their eyes were more, and as for the vulture duke, his face was instantly extremely cold.
"Okay, then let's talk about your opinion!"
The vulture duke didn't speak, but Richard took the initiative to take Lelouch's words and encouraged him to continue, Lelouch barely thought about it, and said directly:
"Mordor is unlikely to give us peace, and even if he promised us now, it would be absolutely for the sake of paralysis in order to defeat us with one blow. ”
Lelouche's words set the tone at the beginning, and the young nobles agreed with Lelouch's words very much, and many of them nodded in agreement, even the old nobles also had many people who thought so, not because what Lelouch said was reasonable, but because almost everyone knew Mordor's temperament.
Everyone knows that Mordor must be going to attack the Terrans, but they are not very sure of the time, and the reason why the elderly nobles are more supportive of the vultures is just the most urgent desire in their hearts, or extravagant hopes.
Before Lelouch could continue to speak after setting the tone, the Vulture Duke interrupted directly:
"Then according to what you mean, what should we do next? Prepare for the second or even the third battle of the White City? Let's not talk about whether we can hold it, let me just ask, how many more knights can you send out in the north, how many foot soldiers?"
Decres's words made the crowd look at each other instantly, indeed, if it really starts like this, the human race can't support such a battle at all, Mordor has this mistake, and next time he will definitely send a huge army far beyond this time, and then the White City may not even have the combat strength of this time's guards, and Limburg will not have a chance to sneak attack again, and even Mordor will destroy Limburg by the way, after all, the location of Limburg, but near the line where Mordor attacked the White City.
Although Decres's words made sense, Lelouch was not ready to give up, and Lelouch said directly:
"So we can't let the enemy fight the White City anymore, we need to choose the battlefield ourselves. ”
Lelouch's words stunned everyone, and the vulture Duke sneered even more:
"Oh, yes, and where do you think we should defeat the Mordor army, our Lord Lelouch?"
The vulture duke's irony was full of ridicule, indeed, he couldn't defend it with the defense of the White City, let alone go out to fight.
In fact, Lelouch was not ready to go out to fight, he just smiled slightly and quietly said three words:
"Fort Clarion!"
The scene was quiet, the crowd at this meeting was not sarcastic, even the vulture duke was slightly distracted, and it was quiet for a while, everyone felt that after they understood what Lelouch said, they became full of disbelief, they didn't laugh, because everyone couldn't laugh, Leluxiu's meaning was very clear, that is, to counterattack the Horn Fort, and then rely on the Horn Fort to defend, although a hundred years ago the Terran Race relied on the Horn Fort did not hold it, but no matter what, guarding the Horn Fort is more reliable than guarding the White City。
The nobles were sure they understood what Lelouch meant, but there was a crucial point, and that was how they could retake Fort Clarion.
As a human being, which is the most majestic and strong castle in the whole of Middle-earth, Horn Fort is almost an undefeated term, Mordor also relied on the concentrated Great Shaman sneak attack, strong orcs attack, nearly 100,000 people killed to capture the Horn Fort, if it were not for the ten great shamans that suddenly appeared in Mordor back then, the human race might not have been defeated so badly.
And now, Lelouch actually proposed that the Terrans retake Fort Horn, a huge fortress that once killed nearly 100,000 people in Mordor, how to look at how an impossible task is.
In fact, the redundant recapture of Fort Clarion Lelouch also did a long time of consideration, and the feasibility of the plan was determined in the end, Mordor looked down on the Terrans, but Mordor likes to do things foolproof, so Mordor still sent an army of 100,000 people, although more than 90% of them are half-orcs, but it is still far more than the strength of the Terrans, although the Terrans can mobilize more than the 100,000 troops of Mordor, but to be honest, it is really fought, not to mention the field battle, and the city defense battle If there is no Lelouch in the city, it is just the difference between guarding the outer wall for a few more days。
Although he failed in the end, it was also because of the existence of Lelouch as a variable, and it was precisely because of this failure that Lelouch found an opportunity to attack Fort Clarifolia.
The Terrans built the Horn Fort in order to defend against foreign enemies, so there were no defenses on the side facing the heaven-sent land, but only symbolically built some anti-sneak attack buildings, and Mordor mobilized almost all the troops in the shortest possible time in order to kill them with one blow, including the Horn Fort Guards.
That is to say, the current Horn Fort, there are almost no defenders, in the face of the enemy from the heaven-sent land, there are no defense facilities, such a golden opportunity, Lelouch is not ready to give up anything, but it is difficult to rely on the strength of his own family to fight it, after all, the Horn Fort is still too large, Lelouch expects that after the city is broken, at least 30,000 defenders will be able to successfully empty the enemy inside the castle, and defend the next battle, as long as the city gate is fiercely strengthened to avoid sneak attacks, then the Terrans rely on the Horn Fort, they can successfully block the war from the heaven-sent land, and the Terrans can get rid of the oppression of Mordor for a hundred years, and even has the ability to regain the world, such a strategic prospect is extremely tempting for Lu Luxiu and the entire human race.
Perhaps because it was too tempting, even the vulture duke asked with a little excitement:
"That's a good idea, but even if the Horn Fort is empty, it will be difficult for us to attack it in a short time, and once Mordor reinforcements are replenished later, we may not even have time to retreat!"
Decrees's question is also the question of everyone here, the Terrans don't have too much worry about whether they can defend Fort Horn in the back, after all, even if they can't defend it, it is better than defending White City, but who can contribute to Fort Clarion in a short period of time? Defense is not a problem, how to capture it when the problem is a problem.
Unconsciously, their inner thoughts have changed from surrender to how to defend, not that Lelouch is too good at demagogy, but the plan proposed by Lelouch is too tempting for the Terrans!
