Knight Seth attracted the admiring glances of all the officers, and he undoubtedly solved a difficult problem for the officers who were each anxious, regardless of Seth's next military proposal.

The council chamber on the second floor of the Diefonder Fortress was very quiet, and the officers were straight-waisted, their eyes staring at the empty air, and they sat on the benches on the side of the long table like piles of wood that could not speak.

Only the knight Seter stood in front of his seat and spread his hands to Mart who was looking at him from the chair. Farmer Kroll, who was next to Mart, waited nervously for the knight's next strategy, knowing that it was a matter of survival for the villagers of the lakeside village—his father, his wife, and his friends passing by again and again.

Seth clenched his fists and then said in a loud voice, "Commander, I think the best defensive strategy is to take the initiative. ”

Knight Seth's suggestion caused all the officers present to boo, and they could hardly accept Knight Seth's strange remarks.

"Brother, you drank high last night, didn't you?" The officer sitting next to Knight Seth said cautiously.

"I'm sober now!" Seth's face was red and his ears were red.

"Even if all the forces of our sovereign's Jaffin Ryan camp are mobilized, and all the well-equipped knights are transferred from the Knight Valley to unite with our Difender defenders, we may not be able to take the top spot in the face of the enemy. Take the initiative, that's not the same as suicide! You also say you didn't drink much! The other officers shook their heads and waved their hands.

Mart just watched the knight Seth silent.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there are many situations to take the initiative! I didn't put you in a head-to-head battle with the monsters on the shores of Lake Santa Kana! I'm talking about a strategy! Seth was a little excited, he raised his voice and said excitedly, "Everyone here is a master of sword competition in the barracks, when swinging a sword to slash the enemy, strength is important, but when facing an opponent who is much stronger than you, and your strength is insignificant in front of that opponent, we will definitely choose a defensive way to resist the opponent's attack." However, in this way of defense, can't we make a false sword of the opponent, so that the opponent temporarily turns to a short-term defense, and provides more preparation time for our defense? ”

"Mr. Seth, you must know that this is not a sword game, nor is it a small game of offense and defense in training, this is a war we are facing!" The officers were unanimous in their opposition to Seth's proposal.

"I couldn't agree more!" Farmer Kroll raised his hand tremblingly, "Just like when we hunt deer in the mountains, traps are usually placed on the path we predict, our speed is not as fast as the deer, but we can scare them into drilling into the traps we have placed, and in the end we don't even use our bows and arrows, and the deer are hunted by the traps that have been placed in advance." ”

"Guard, get this pesky farmer out for me!" The officers slammed the table angrily and pointed at the trembling farmer Kroll.

"Enough!" Matt Wilder yelled, and at once he became angry at the officers who disagreed,

"Knight Seth's suggestion is a good plan, since you don't have the guts to come up with such a strategy, don't maliciously slander it! Don't you understand a truth that even a farmer understands? What a disappointment for me! ”

"But," the officers were speechless for a moment.

"But His Royal Highness's garrison on the northern shore of Lake Santa Cana is fighting monsters, and we can't do anything to relieve the pressure on the Dukedom. But we knew that the people of the lakeside village were under great threat, but we had to stand still and be willing to show weakness, watching hundreds of people be plundered and mutilated by monsters at any time. Is the sword in your hand only used to protect your own life and ignore the whole war, then the lord is not just raising a bunch of waste who can only eat and drink! Mart snorted at the officers, stood up from the chair, and pointed at the officers who were speechless for a while, "I usually trusted you too much, and now you repay me in this way!" The Lord has been furious with me about our oversight of the Fortress of Diffind, and it is already a stain on honor for me and for you, but you do not feel this shame at all, and still consider how to sit back and wait for passive and passive defense. Knight Seth, speak your mind out loud! Let these wood-like guys listen to what is the solution to war! ”

"First, we should take the initiative to rescue the people of the lakeside village. Second, we should bluff on the Desco Terrace and the Guardian Terrace, put up more flags for the Diffender Fortress, temporarily confuse the monsters that may be targeting the Diffender Fortress, and the narrow road between the Desco Terrace and the Guardian Terrace is easy to defend and difficult to attack, we only need to ambush a few archers on both sides of the Desco Terrace and the Guardian Terrace to successfully cover the evacuation of the Lakeside Village Lords. Thirdly, our presence will undoubtedly relieve the pressure on the troops garrisoned by His Royal Highness the Duke of Ella on the western side of Lake Santa Cana, and buy more time to prepare not only for the Duke of Entle, but also for our defense. Knight Seth held up three fingers and stated his thoughts one by one, and Mart nodded approvingly as she listened to Knight Seth's detailed plan.

"Your plan is still flawed, but it's three good plans, and I've perfected them by the way." Mart's fingers raced over the parchment map opened by the officer beside her, stopping at the lakeside village beyond the Desco Terrace and the Guardian Terrace, and then looked up at the officers present, "I need a clever squad to take Farmer Kroll to transfer all the people of Lakeside Village." Who wants to go? ”

The officers looked at each other, but remained silent, and finally looked at Seth, the knight.

"Well, in that case, I'm willing to go!" Knight Seth stroked Mart to her chest with one hand.

"Ordered, Knight Seth led twenty halberd soldiers to the lakeside village to transfer the villagers. Play it by ear. Then he looked at the farmer in the second seat, Kroll, "Kroll, you lead the way for my knights and soldiers. ”

"This" Kroll looked at Mart timidly, shaking his head quickly.

"It's a war! Farmer Kroll! This is an action that is closely linked to the fate of your village! We can't spare more troops to support your poor village. But we will do it, and we need your unconditional cooperation with our actions. Guard, give this farmer a sword. Mart looked down at the cowardly farmer, and the soldier who came from outside the council hall drew his sword and handed it to the farmer Kroll, "Since you have the courage to run to the lord alone to ask for help, you naturally have the courage to pick up this guy." ”

Kroll finally swallowed the saliva, and although his hands trembled violently, he nodded hesitantly.

"Let's go! Farmer! Seth the knight grabbed Farmer Kroll and strode out of the council chamber.

"Centurion James, take your men and take the banner of Diffender and as many arrows as you can to set up an ambush on the Desko Terrace, and set up a scarecrow on the terrace; Centurion Carlos, you do the same, but to set up an ambush on the Guardian Terrace. As soon as the knight Seth and the people returned, let them go, and if there were pursuers behind them, try to block the enemy's pursuit with multiple arrows and rolling stones. Mart pointed to the Desco Terrace and the Guardian Terrace on the map, and gave the order.

"Yes, Commander!" The two chiefs stood up and bowed to Mart and immediately took the order.

"Sh Anthun, Sz. Rdour. You take your soldiers and immediately camp at the pass between the Desco Terrace and the Guardian Terrace, and set up more fires and traps in the virtual camp, and then wait for the retreating Knight Set and the Lakeside Village Lords to guide them to retreat. Mart looked at the two officers seated on his side, who immediately stood up and saluted him before leaving.

At the bench next to the long table, only a centurion and two chiefs remained, and the three officers looked a little restless.

"Commander, you have mobilized more than half of the garrison of the entire fortress to move to the dangerous front." The remaining three officers were worried, "If it fails, the fortress of Difender will definitely not be protected!" ”

"In that case, Centurion John will come with me to the pass between the Desco Terrace and the Guardian Terrace to see if it will be successful or broken! The other two of you are here waiting for us to return, or for the monsters to attack. Mart shrugged, rolled up the parchment map and tossed it to Centurion John, "Gather your soldiers and go." Don't think defense is an easy job. Perhaps you are feeling more pressure than we are at the forefront. ”
