Andris' House Castle. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

As the circle that is currently at the center of the actual power, this place is calm, and all the storms are hidden under this calm.

It's been almost a month since Kahlil was gone, and Morton was in a hurry every day, as if he didn't care much, but Gahia was much more anxious than Morton.

Although Gahia doesn't bother when he's busy with business, he can't help but nagging a few words at the dinner table and at night, how is Karil, how is it in the future, and how is it in case of ...... Even if you are here, you still can't change every mother's problem.

So when the teleportation array of the castle lit up, a maid immediately reported it.

This small teleportation array placed in the alchemy room, the only place leading to it is Oyala, and the other end is placed in the villa where Kahlil is now staying. Andris himself.

In the white light, golden ears and tail tips peeked out from the edge of the light, gradually revealing hair and arms, and as the light faded a little, Karil, revealing her true face, stepped down from the magic circle.

Gahia had been waiting here for a long time, and before Kahlil could stand firmly, she came up and gave her a hug, hugged her head and kissed her cheek, patted Karil's back and stroked the long hair draped behind her back.

"Good afternoon, Mom"

Kahlil hugged her cooperatively, pushed her mother off her body, and hurriedly said hello.

In fact, it wasn't a long time to meet, and even going to Oyala was far less dangerous than going out before, but going back and forth so many times still made Gahia feel uneasy, and she always felt that her daughter was a little uneasy when she wasn't around, and she had to take on such a heavy responsibility, which really reassured me.

Even if Gahia believes that Karil can do a good job, it is the same, and it is inevitable to worry about it.

It's just that this time Karil's demeanor when she came back didn't seem to be the same as usual.

"Why did you suddenly come back today? I don't say anything beforehand, so I can prepare it. Gahia took her daughter's hand and unconsciously pulled it tightly, shushing up and down inside and out, which made Kahlil very embarrassed.

"Some things are sudden...... Ah, don't worry, it's not a bad thing, it's just a little extra, but it's more important. Kahlil responded with a smile, every time she was pulled by Gahia like this, she felt a little inexplicable guilt when she was very concerned, as if she had taken something that didn't belong to her, even if she knew it wasn't her problem.

"Huh? If you want to find your father, he's in the study right now, so if you have something to do, go find him yourself, huh...... We're going to have to get together at noon. ”

Gahia took Karil's left hand and walked towards the alchemy room, her tone a little soothing, as if something very gratifying had happened.

"Okay, I'll go find him later."

However, Carlil was not so in such a good mood today, and the purpose of this sudden return was very clear, and it was so important that she even made her a little impatient to go upstairs, break into Moulton's study, and go up and slap his big mahogany table hard.

"Hmm...... Important? ”

Gahia slowed down a few times, and Karil's subtle emotional changes could not escape her eyes at all, as a mother, she was very keenly aware of her daughter's thoughts, and basically Carlil's mind was clear.

"Yes, I mean...... Well, it's more important. Otherwise, we can enjoy afternoon tea and I can go back tomorrow. ”

Kahlil was a little embarrassed to be asked by her mother, although she was very anxious, but she didn't want to ruin her mother's interest, and for a moment she wanted to simply put the business aside for the time being.

"It's okay" Gahia has no problem so much, she has full trust in Karil and Moulton, and she thinks that it must be very important for her daughter to care so much at this time, so it is natural for her family affairs to be pushed back: "Then go first, I'll go and prepare, don't get too late, I'll have someone go up and call you for lunch." ”

"Okay, thank you Mom."

In that case, without further ado, Kaliel smiled apologetically, let go of her left hand and kissed her mother on the cheek, and slipped up the stairs.

Moulton, come out...... Moulton.

Karil quickly disappeared from her mother's field of vision, taking a deep breath as she climbed the stairs to adjust her state, what she was going to say later was completely inappropriate for such a giggle, be serious, and good for the whole topic.

She straightened her ears, hung her tail, and made a little straight face, and walked all the way to Moulton's study, raised her hand and wanted to knock on the heavy wooden door, but she raised her hand and hesitated, and then pushed the door in without knocking, and without looking at it while stepping into the study, she asked loudly inside, "What do you want to do now!" ”

The room was lit with the same incense, the floor was covered with a gold-veined red carpet, on the left was a large bookcase, on the right was a sofa and a reception table, and in front of the large desk for various documents, Moulton sat behind the desk, and the large window behind him let in sunlight, illuminating the room.

Undeterred by the sudden arrival of Carlil, Morton even calmly finished the last sentence on the tip of his pen before he unhurriedly inserted the quill back into the inkwell, leaned against the backrest, took off his glasses and set them aside, and then smiled and said to Carlil: "Welcome back - I think you can see it very clearly, as you can see." ”

Karil's appearance here was exactly what he expected.

The same goes for what Carlil is about to say next.

“…… Did Angus himself agree to this?"

Carlil's performance was not as fierce as when she pushed the door open, she glared at Moulton, closed the door with her backhand, and as she spoke, she pulled up a chair and sat down across from her desk.

"Of course, the decision-making power is in Angus. Bethel is in his own hands, and now he is the one who is directly in charge, and I am just ...... In accordance with my duties, he was offered a plan, and he adopted it - nothing more. ”

Morton shrugged his shoulders as he spoke, as if to say something inconsequential.

"Plan, plan, plan, well, then let their two forces go deep alone in the territory of Saint-Margaery? Continuing eastward into the hinterland, how to replenish, well, the first weapons are equipped for them, but can weapons alone solve the problem of food? Carlil clapped one hand on the desk: "Resisting the Senderland army on the border is another matter, Saint-Margeret can tolerate us when we have a common enemy, but can they still sit idly by and watch them go straight into the border like this?" I know that St. Margaery's armament is weak, but this does not affect the fact that after penetrating into the hinterland, the supply is interrupted and the enemy is on the back. ”

After listening to Carlil, Moulton immediately smiled, not mocking, but appreciating, he replied slowly: "That's right, maybe I should send you to the military academy from an early age is correct, in general, there is no problem, but you ignore the choices we can make, we can do more than you think now......"

"Just say it bluntly, don't beat around the bush, just show your plan and see, since Angus can agree, it should also make me agree." Kahlil frowned, this has a feeling of being treated as a fool, although this aspect is indeed not his strong point, and there is no shame in being laughed at by his father, but it is still a little unhappy.

"Did I say that only Angus and Matthew entered St. Margaery?"

Angus threw out a sentence cleanly, causing Kahlil to froze for a moment, and then her eyes widened.

"Okay...... I would like to hear about it. ”

Kahlil shook her head, breathed a sigh of relief, and put her words back, patiently waiting for Morton to explain.

"Your efficiency is good, our production efficiency is also good, and the weapons and equipment can be deployed to a certain scale within a month, which is very good......" Morton leaned back comfortably in his chair and looked at his daughter and said, "But we still don't have an advantage, and we still can't compete with Sunderland head-on in terms of population, troops, economy, and large weapons, understand." ”

It was obvious that there were all kinds of facts in front of him, and there was nothing to argue about, and Kaliel nodded honestly and motioned for him to continue.

"Southern United bought us a lot of time, and to be honest, it was an unexpected reward, it gave us more time to prepare, and it also gave us a chance." Morton narrowed his eyes dangerously: "We have no chance of winning against Sunderland head-on, but I'm afraid there won't be a second chance for this respite, so I have proposed a new plan to take advantage of the fact that Sunderland has not shifted its focus back to the north again, and seize the opportunity......"

"Okay, I understand what you're trying to say, but, what does this have to do with Sainte-Margaery." Kahlil couldn't help but interrupt him, now the disadvantage can only be said to be not as desperate as before, but it is not an advantage at all, and it is also conceivable to think of something to preemptively stab the knife in the back or something to seek the first strike and hit the opponent.

"Taking advantage of the tension in the south, they attacked the port city of Purniden in the northwest of Sunderland, which is the hub of the entire northern part of Sunderland, where transportation transit, grain and grass hoarding are not only that, but also close trade, with small military factories, and even a few high-ranking local officials." Morton tossed the map scroll on the table and spun it out in circles, and on the paper a city in Sunderland with a seaside was marked, and many colorful arrows were marked beside it.

"Get out of here," Morton slapped his big heavy hand on the map and continued in a calm voice, "It's like pulling out a fang." ”

Kahlil glanced at the map a few times and had to admit that the idea was good, but ...... "easier said than done".

She shook her head: "Although it is not a hinterland, it is not close to the border, how can this kind of place not be heavily guarded, how can you take it out in one fell swoop without suffering huge losses." ”

"By sea!" Morton quickly replied: "The ground defense is impregnable if not impregnable, and the ships coming and going by sea are more than three points weak, and Sunderland is not as domineering as the army in this respect, and it is perfectly feasible to surprise Purniden from the sea when we have the advantage in equipment and the other side is a little lax." ”

"Well, Sunderland's sea power is not strong, but where did we get our fleet?" Kahlil snorted coldly, the coast of Skaloa is remote and the sea is complex, and there is basically no sea surface combat power to speak of.

"We don't, but," Morton pointed to the other side of the map, marked by a large red circle, "St. Margaery's fleet is more than a ...... than their army" (to be continued.) )
