When Lint arrived outside the chamber, it seemed that a heated argument had erupted in the chamber.

"You are abandoning my people in the Northland!"

"People? People pay taxes to their own nobles, and if you are your people, it is not too late to wait for the ogre to enter my Lanster's territory before sending troops. ”

"You ......, you have no conscience!"

"Hmph, I'm only thinking about my Lanster family."

There was a vote of supporters on both sides, and the Marquis Wade sat on the throne without speaking, leaving the two sides to argue below.

Unnoticed, Lint silently walked into the chamber and sat down. A little bit about the concepts of both sides.

One side believed that the Jingbei army should be dispatched immediately to defend the enemy in the wilderness, and it was best to let this group of ogres retreat.

One side felt that the loss in the field battle with a super-large ogre tribe was too great, and it was better to defend the castle with a strong wall, anyway, the ogre was not good at attacking cities.

But doing so is equivalent to giving up the territories of many minor nobles, the ogres are no longer good at attacking cities, and some small castles are difficult to resist, not to mention that it is the time of spring ploughing, and there are still many villages that cannot be evacuated.

After a little weighing, Lint was still more inclined to take the initiative, and if he sat back and watched the erosion of the Northland, the consequences of the outbreak the next year might be even more unbearable.

However, the thought of sending troops, Lint felt a little uneasy in his heart, this ogre tribe came a little strangely, and Lint instinctively smelled some conspiracy.

"Little Four, tell me what you think."

Just as Lint was thinking, Marquis Wade suddenly spoke,

For a while, everyone's attention at the table turned to Lin Xuan.

The people who can sit here naturally don't know that they are as superficial as the group of ignorant people outside, and with Lin Xuan's business ability in the past few years, no one will just treat him as a waste who can't cultivate.

Finding that everyone's attention was focused on him, Lint could only express his opinion.

Lint glanced at the two sides of the dispute, and then said in a deep voice:

"What if the ogre breaks through the realms on the edge of the wilderness and continues eastward? What if they don't leave this time? Are we going to hide in the city for the rest of our lives?

Don't think that the strong walls can make the ogres retreat, think about why they are called ogres. ”

The truth of the cold lips and teeth can be figured out anywhere, when the few noble surnames near the wilderness can't stand it, the territory of Drifting Snow City may be directly destroyed by the wilderness tribes.

And the option of Fortified Clearfield seems to be useful at first glance, but there are so many villages in the Northland that the population of all the people can't move into the city, and they may all become the army food of the ogre.

Lint's meaning is obvious, supporting the Jingbei Army to take the initiative.

Marquis Wade nodded at the top seat, and although he did not speak, he could still tell that he agreed with Lint's point of view.

"Then I suggest that the lords of various places rely on the castle to resist for a period of time, and then our Jingbei Army will attack when they can't hold on anymore."

"Uncle Daun has a point."

"That's right, we can't make a move so easily, and this group of people usually doesn't pay a copper narr tax to our Drifting Snow City."

"We have to let them know that it's painful before they know how to appreciate us."

There was a lot of discussion, and most of them agreed with Daun's statement.

Although the Northland acquiesces in the respect of the Lanster family, from a legal point of view, the other nobles are also pro-feudal of the kingdom and have no direct subordinate relationship with the Lanster family.

Now that the ogre tribe has come from the wilderness and is separated from the Lanster family by several territories, most of Lanster doesn't want to be too proactive.

Lint frowned, he didn't quite agree with this, but it seemed to be more in Lenster's interest, and he didn't say anything against it.

"I think in order to make these territories more resistant to ogres, we can send them some supplies first."

"Divide them into a few more theaters, let them choose their own commanders, cooperate in defense, and our Jingbei Army will press them down."

As soon as Daun's words fell, some echoes rang out.

"What a good idea, and let them hold out a little longer."

Hearing Daun's words, Lint looked up, and a gleam flashed in his eyes.

I don't know how much benefit this old thing has gained.

The Marquis' Mansion has the power to command the lord of the Northland in wartime, so it is not a bad rule to do so, and after dividing the war zone, he said that he would discuss and choose a commander.

But if you don't choose a leader that the Lancester family is satisfied with, I'm afraid you don't want to get any support from the Lancet family.

Lint knew on a little thought that this suggestion would be adopted.

It doesn't cost too much, but it can strengthen the influence of the Lancer family on the other lords of the Northlands, and this is the kind of thing that Marquis Wade will definitely do.

The Lancet family only uses a chicken feather, and someone can use it as an arrow.

Lint unconsciously thought of Richard, who impressed him,

Maybe I can help this guy, I don't know what tricks the chicken feathers can play when they are thrown into his hands.

Lint had a vague expectation.

After formulating the tone of the entire action in Drifting Snow City, everyone began to discuss the specific details, and the atmosphere in the entire conference hall was relatively relaxed.

Although a super-large ogre tribe deserves the attention of Drifting Snow City, it will definitely not make the Lancet family have too much sense of crisis.

If you don't care about the losses, under normal circumstances, the 100,000 Jingbei Army is definitely capable of defeating a super-large ogre tribe.

Only Lint secretly felt that something was wrong, but he never could figure out where the danger was.

"Okay, let's do it like this, all, go down and prepare."

In the end, it was the Marquis Wade who decided on the final course of action.

Divide more than 20 territories that may be attacked by the ogre tribe into five war zones, and dispatch 80,000 Jingbei troops to wait for the opportunity to wait for the warplane.

Except for some necessary left-behind men, almost the entire Jingbei Army was dispatched and showed a momentum of a lion fighting a rabbit.

……

"Tander, gather the Dark Riders."

The more Lint returned to his residence, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, although the ogre was reckless, it was definitely not a beast without brains.

It is impossible for a super-large ogre tribe not to know the strength of the Marquis Mansion of the Northland, since they dare to come, they always have a little confidence to compete with the Jingbei Army, or have some reason to come.

Without enough information, Lint could not make accurate judgments, so he could only try to gather the strength at his disposal for emergencies.

"The Dark Cavalry Regiment is also distributed in various caravans, and if all of them are transferred, it will have a great impact on the Chamber of Commerce."

"Stop the chamber of commerce activities a little, the dark cavalry group must be assembled before the Jingbei Army is dispatched."

"Yes, young master"

Although Sand always likes to put forward his own ideas, as long as Lint makes a decision, whether he understands it or not, Sand will carry it out to the letter.

The Dark Cavalry Regiment is an elite force secretly cultivated by Lint himself, although the number is only three hundred, but all members have the strength of quasi-knights or above, and they are all riding expensive river valley horses, which together definitely have the strength to affect the outcome of a small and medium-sized battle.

A person as smart as Lint who is weak in his own right has a serious lack of security.

Such people will be more reluctant to talk about it in layman's terms, and will always leave some hole cards in their hands.

The Dark Riders were one of Lint's cards, and when Sander went to give the order to summon him, Lint

I finally suppressed some of the uneasiness in my heart.

"Hopefully I'm just scaring myself."

Lint muttered, calmed down and slowly made a pot of weak tea for himself.
