After hearing the shout of 'Emergency', Little Leader immediately stood up and walked in front of Jason to face the Signal Corps.

"Read."

The valet gestured as he spoke.

The assassinations of Gerald by the new federation are always endless.

Pretending to be a communications soldier, he deliberately used the so-called 'urgent report' to approach Gerald and carry out assassination, not once or twice, so Little Leader arranged a set of codes that could be changed at any time.

Signal soldiers can impersonate.

But the code is not possible.

Because, even the signal corps itself does not know what today's code is.

It could be a gesture.

It could also be a secret language.

Or, both.

Just like this time.

After seeing the gesture of the valet, the messenger immediately responded.

"Pork ribs, roast meat, meatballs."

Hearing the correct code, little Leader immediately dodged away.

"Report, Lord Gerald."

"His Excellency the Grand Duke of 'Yanbao' has sent an urgent official letter!"

"The two infantry legions of the first and second of the new federation suddenly appeared in the territory of 'Yanbao', forming a horn trend against 'Yanbao', and the Grand Duke of 'Yanbao' asked for support!"

The communication soldier spoke very quickly, and his voice was very clear.

Suddenly, Jason frowned.

Although he didn't know much about military affairs, Jason also understood the meaning of the sudden appearance of two infantry legions in the territory of 'Yanbao'.

Gerard has said more than once that 'Swallow Castle' is a barrier to the Hanse harbor, defending it against the forces of the interior.

If Swallow Fort were to fall, the Hans Harbor would be completely exposed to the guns of the New Federation.

Therefore, if 'Yanbao' asks for reinforcements, Hans Harbor will definitely send troops.

But how to send troops, how much material to carry, etc., Jason can't judge.

So, the next moment, he said this.

"Hmm."

"Got it."

Try to keep Gerald's tone as good as possible.

Jason gave an ambiguous answer.

Little Leader on the side said cooperatively:

"Gather the Captain of the Harbor Defense Force and all the staff officers."

"Half an hour later, including the sheriff, we will meet at 111 Delun Street."

"Yes!"

The messenger immediately gave a military salute and turned to run out.

Little Leader then closed the door.

The valet turned around and looked at Jason with a serious face.

"I'm sorry, sir."

"I thought we had more time."

"But he didn't give us much time."

"I'll give you a brief introduction of the people who will come back for the meeting in a moment."

As he spoke, the valet began to introduce.

The armed forces of the Hanse seaport can be roughly divided into three groups:

Harbor Guard.

Harbor Patrol Force.

Harbor Guard.

Among them, the harbor defense force includes the navy and army of Hans seaport.

The Harbor Patrol is in charge of all security in the harbor, and the sheriff chief Jason has ever met.

The Harbor Guard, the smallest and most elite of the three armies, is Gerald's Guard.

"The head of the Harbor Defense Force is His Excellency General Anno."

"This is an old man from the harbor, who was your chief of guard and served as your sword instructor for a while, familiar with military affairs, brave in battle, but short-tempered."

"So, you have arranged for Chief of Staff Sidlin to assist him."

"Chief of Staff Sidlin is also from the harbor, he was a famous captain in the harbor in his early years, he was good at planning and layout, he served as your adviser, and now he will occasionally make cameos."

"Both can be trusted."

Little Leader said this and made a special explanation.

Jason looked at the valet.

There are ones that can be trusted.

Naturally, there are things that cannot be trusted.

In fact, that's exactly what Jason thought.

"Lord Boft in the Patrol can also be trusted."

"But his deputy, His Excellency Goulart, should be one of the secret agents of the new Federation."

"In order to put a long line to catch a big fish, we didn't touch him for the time being."

"The commander of the Guardians was my father before, and now it's me."

Little Leader said as he turned and walked to one side of the wall with a curtain.

The valet tore open the curtain as soon as he could.

A map depicting Hans's harbor, Swallowburg, and the interior appeared directly in front of Jason's eyes.

Under Jason's gaze, two black flags were planted outside the 'Swallow Castle'.

"The first and second infantry regiments of the new federation are both full of 20,000 men."

"Among them, the First Infantry Legion is the one who participated in the previous 'battle between the old and the new', and many of them were once soldiers under your command, but those who can stay are inclined to the 'Emmorton III'."

"The Second Infantry Regiment was formed at the end of the 'old and new conflicts', and at that time it was mainly responsible for cleaning the battlefield."

Little Leader introduced.

"What about us?"

"How many are there?"

Jason asked.

"The Harbor Defense Force, the Navy has 88 sail battleships, including 2 Class 1 ships, 36 Class 2 ships, and 50 Class 3 ships, and the Navy currently has about 20,000 people in service."

"The army has a complete infantry corps, 10,000 people, well-equipped, trained to go into battle immediately, and the old general has also trained a cavalry unit of 2,000 people, which is also ready to go into battle at any time."

"The Harbor Patrol has 2,500 men, and they are used to their daily tasks, and in a head-to-head battle, they cannot be effective."

"The harbor guard has 800 people, they can adapt to any battlefield, and they are the trump card in your hands."

Jason listened to Little Lead's introduction and looked at the map again.

The Hanse seaport has absolute superiority in terms of the navy.

But on the battlefield of 'Yanbao', the navy could not be dispatched, and only the army remained.

With 12,000 people in full combat, and in the face of two full 40,000 people who have participated in real wars, Jason, who has never participated in any major military battles, does not know how to fight.

Moreover, it is impossible to send all the harbor armies.

Therefore, all he could think of was to send a part of his troops to reinforce the terrain of 'Yanbao', defend it, and then look for opportunities to counterattack.

As for more?

Is it up to him to cut it alone?

1vs40000？

Jason thought about it seriously and felt a little suffocated.

So he asked little Lead.

"How many people are there in 'Swallow Castle'?"

"The Grand Duke of 'Yanbao' is not very good at military affairs, all the troops of 'Yanbao' add up to about 10,000 people, and the weapons are ordinary, but with the support of the city wall, it is not difficult to support our reinforcements."

Little Leader replied.

"What do you suggest?"

Jason asked.

At times like these, Jason thinks it's better to consult a professional.

"Fight a long battle!"

Little Leader replied immediately.

Then, the valet pointed to the map and explained.

"We have sea transportation, which can continuously transport food and supplies from the southern archipelago, and then deliver supplies to the 'Yanbao' that is close at hand!"

"And the transportation and supply line of 'Emmorton III' is very long, requiring great manpower to maintain, ten catties of grain are transported to the front line, and only three catties are left at most, and the cavalry trained by General Anno can completely detour between 'Yanbao' and the interior, harass the opponent's supply line, and at the same time cooperate with the elite of the escort army to booby trap the opponent's 'Dark Defender' formation."

"As long as the other side's supply line is broken, the victory in this war belongs to us."

Little Leader made a loud noise.

Jason listened and nodded.

None of this he had ever thought of.

Then, Little Leader begins to inform Jason of some details that need attention.

This is to be said by Jason in a later meeting.

Just as the two of them had finished discussing, General Anno of the Harbor Defense Force and the Patrol Force, Chief of Staff of Sidlin, Chief of Security of Boft, and Deputy Chief of Goulart had already appeared on the fifth floor of 111 Delen Street, and the communications corps rushed up.

The communications soldier looked anxious, rushed past several people, and came directly to Jason-

"Urgent!"

"'Yanbao' has fallen!"
