Chapter 285: Deployment
palace
In a room that is not very spacious, there are five big people sitting at this time, and the first seat is the current supreme ruler of the kingdom, King Rennes.
The remaining people are the Left Minister, who represents the interests of the traditional aristocracy, the Right Minister, who represents the interests of the new bureaucracy and big businessmen, the military representative, Marshal Sanchez, and the commander of the Golden Dragon Forbidden Army, the Dragon Knight Thor.
These people, who might have quarreled for the groups they represented at the court meeting, were sitting quietly in their chairs at this time, digesting the news that Wren and Saul had just announced.
"Lord Thor, has the Golden Dragon Clan decided to tear up the agreement? Is there any room for manoeuvre? ”
Zuo Xiang asked again without giving up.
The Terrans have been under the protection of the golden dragon for hundreds of years, since the disappearance of the first king Aragorn, the relationship between the Terrans and the golden dragon has entered an unequal situation, and the golden dragon clan, who originally signed an agreement with the Terrans under the persecution of Aragon, has gradually become the patron saint of mankind, and humans are also accustomed to the protection of the golden dragon.
It's just that for the Golden Dragon Clan, all the constraints are not a paper agreement that has no effect, but the strong strength of Aragorn, since the disappearance of Aragorn, this binding force has been declining, in the first hundred years, the Terrans can still have double-digit dragon knights at the same time, and all of them are real young and strong golden dragons, and then Aragorn disappeared for longer and longer, and the attitude of the Golden Dragon Clan gradually changed, from almost free help, to the beginning of various conditions. The number is getting smaller and smaller, and the number is still filled with green dragons, and in this generation, there are only two golden dragons and four green dragons to fill the number, and even because the human king executed a dragon knight, there is also a green dragon that has been recalled, and the dragon knights who used to be able to form a squad are now only five poor dragon knights.
"Is there really no way? If you can, you only need to leave one dragon behind. ”
This time it was Army Marshal Sanchez, a veteran who was over seventy years old, who spoke very vigorously, although his strength was only the peak strength of the Great Knight, but with his excellent war command level in his early years, his existence was also in the army.
But the old marshal, who had always maintained a resolute demeanor, also looked anxious at this time, compared to the left and right phases, he was the one who best understood the value of the golden dragon's existence, and even Thor didn't see it as thoroughly as he did.
The dragon knights of the Golden Dragon Kingdom, in fact, do not have much advantage over the orcs in Thor's generation, the orcs have two masters of the sky level, even if they are not the opponents of the two-headed golden dragons, they can form a containment, the three-headed green dragon, the orcs also have far more earth-level masters than humans to deal with,
In terms of high-end force, even if you count the dragon knights of Zhenguo, the advantage of human beings is not obvious, and in the middle and low-end strength, it is completely crushed by the orcs, and the population advantage is not as big as imagined, some female orcs and old orcs who are not too old to walk can also afford to fight when needed, and their combat effectiveness will not be inferior to that of human young soldiers.
Human beings can still enjoy peace now, but there are two reasons, one is the blocking of the Dragon Breath Pass, after all, the Dragon Breath Pass is a critical place that humans have operated for hundreds of years, not only to fortify the fortress and complete the military facilities, but also to station the most elite Dragon Breath Pass Corps of mankind, hoarding sufficient grain and grass baggage, not the orcs can break it. Second, the orcs still have concerns about the Golden Dragon Clan, what the orcs are afraid of is not the five dragon knights of the Golden Dragon Kingdom, but the sudden intervention of the golden dragon, what they are afraid of is the same as hundreds of years ago, dozens of golden dragons and green dragons suddenly appeared on the battlefield and killed the orcs.
Combining two reasons, although for hundreds of years, although humans and orcs have been in constant conflict in the Dragon's Breath Pass, and the Dragon's Breath Pass is also the place where the human army has the highest death rate, the orcs have never really launched an attack with the strength of the whole country.
Sanchez wants to keep a golden dragon, just to leave a deterrent, at least a little connection, to show the attitude of the golden dragon clan, if there is really no dragon, isn't it clearly telling the orcs that the golden dragon no longer intends to protect humans?
It's a pity that in the face of Sanchez's problem, Sol still shook his head, all the directions that these people can think of, Sol has worked hard with Wren, if there is any chance, Wren will not choose to make the news public, the support of the golden dragon is a kind of guardian force for human beings, and for the Charman family, it is the most important part of consolidating the royal power, if it is not that the matter is irreparable, Wren is not willing to put it on the table.
"Aso is willing to stay and help me, but the Golden Dragon Patriarch's order is that all dragons must withdraw before autumn."
After all, the Golden Dragon clan has been with humans for so many years, with the longevity of the Golden Dragon, many dragons and dragon knights in their clan have some friendship to fight side by side, and they are not too desperate to do things, but they still give humans some buffer time, but this time is too short, far from enough for human reactions, and Golden Dragons, who are quite close to humans like Asuo, are even more willing to stay, but they can't withstand the strict orders of the patriarch and must return.
"There's no need to discuss the matter of letting the golden dragon now, we have to prepare for what will happen after the golden dragon leaves."
"The Longxi Pass Corps must be expanded again, at least to maintain the size of one and a half million troops, and the castle groups on the plain between the east side of the royal capital and Longxi Pass must be inspected to ensure that each castle has a certain combat capability."
"There is also the fleet of the Jinlongjiang River, which has to be expanded and prepared for war recently, and all the fortresses on the river bank must be inspected."
After all, there is the great enemy of the orcs on the side, and the Golden Dragon Kingdom has never had a faint king in the real sense, no matter how human beings have been involuted for hundreds of years, they have never relaxed their defense against the orcs, and of course the defense line against the orcs is not only the Dragon's Breath Pass, but also several fulcrum-level cities on the east side of the Central Plains and hundreds of noble castles of all sizes, most of the nobles of these castles are also military nobles who have been closed by the Dragon's Breath,
The defensive function itself has is not weak, but now it has been peaceful for a long time, I am afraid that some descendants have weakened the defensive ability of the castle a lot, and the kingdom needs to be supervised and strengthened at this time, these castles and several big cities on the eastern front are the second line of defense of the Golden Dragon Kingdom.
If the orcs break through the second line of defense and the golden dragon are lost, then the human race can still give up the eastern territory of the Central Plain and retreat to the west bank of the Jinlong River, and continue to resist with the Jinlongjiang fleet that has been operating for many years.
"This matter is temporarily controlled by the degree of knowledge, except for everyone here, only the nobles above the marquis and some important ministers have the right to know."
"Does anyone have any objection to this deployment?"
Wren sat in the first seat and asked as Sanchez and Thor set out specific action measures one by one.
"No, no..."
At this time, the most powerful people of the five golden dragons quickly reached an agreement in a small palace, no matter how they usually fight, everyone is not a fool, they know the stakes, there will be no fools who can sit in this position, maybe the details still need to be considered, but the consistency in the general direction has been reached, and then the country's army and military facilities will usher in the strictest investigation...
