Chapter 251. The center point of the storm surges
In the conference room of the Sheriff's Mansion, all of Levy's cabinet ministers have been gathered, including Chief Minister Green, Chancellor of the Exchequer Thor, Secretary of War Wilmot, and Admiralty Hall, all of whom are sitting quietly at the conference table. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
They had just come in not long ago, and after the battlefield in Cape Town was cleared, they also met temporarily to explain the current situation, and when they came to the conference room of the sheriff's mansion, they didn't have three or five minutes to sit down, and Li Wei had already jumped off his war horse, pushed open the door and walked in.
"Your Majesty, it seems that there is a lot of trouble in the silver mines?"
Green, as the chief minister, also knew more about the situation of the undead, and he couldn't help frowning when he looked at Levi: "If there are too many undead in that group, I think it's best to arrange a garrison in the mine." ”
He and Levi had encountered those terrifying creatures at the time, and only the bones of the undead who survived with some strange ability still clearly emerged from his heart. Exhaling slowly, Green continued to speak: "We still don't know anything about what is in the tunnels of the silver mine, and the best way is to seal it off. ”
"It's not that we don't know anything about it now, you know, there are quite a lot of them now."
Levi smiled, looked at the puzzled eyes of several other cabinet ministers, and shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and sighed helplessly: "If you can imagine, you can find a passage connecting to another world in the pit tunnel." ”
To be precise, it is a portal, a portal connecting the undead plane, Levi has led the troops to walk through it himself, and it is quite clear that the dark and cold world on the other side of the portal is simply a place where the undead and the undead can live, and it is no wonder that as a priest, Zachari would say that place is the realm of evil.
"Another world?"
Even Hall, Wilmot and Thor all had surprised looks on their faces, although they had already known the news of the immortal spirits in advance, but now that they heard the so-called world, they still looked at each other.
"That's right, it's another world, a world that belongs to the undead of the undead."
Shaking his head helplessly, Li Wei also spread his hands, looked at the four cabinet ministers in front of him, and nodded very strangely: "If I hadn't entered that world, I even thought that under the tunnel of the silver mine, there was just a ruin, but in fact I was wrong." ”
It was really an evil realm, the world of the undead and undead, and Levi could now feel the chill that lingered all over his body after entering that gloomy world, and he couldn't help but exhale and said: "I don't know how many undead skeletons are in it, and we don't have the corresponding information to explain whether the undead in that world are the only skeletons." ”
"That's bad news."
Green narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Levi's face was already quite solemn, because according to the current situation, Cape Town on the east coast, unconsciously, was almost attacked on all sides!
Whether it is the elven fleet that is about to come to the new route, or the traditional forces of the Great Silver Plate Island itself, they are all quite hostile forces to them, and now there are undead undead who have no negotiation with the living creatures at all to solve the problem, which just makes Cape Town sandwiched in the middle, becoming the center of the surging storm.
"We can't stand up to an enemy on multiple fronts."
Hall, as the Minister of the Navy, also quickly analyzed the current situation, took a deep breath, and said slowly to Levi with the same dignified face: "Our navy can't even intercept the enemy's landing on the east coast. ”
War Minister Wilmot also frowned, and continued with Hall's words: "Your Majesty the King, our army can only barely defend Cape Town, if the enemy attacks from multiple directions, the situation will immediately fall into a worse situation, and we must deal with this danger as soon as possible." ”
"In fact, our finances are also tight at the moment."
As Chancellor of the Exchequer, Saul also voiced his concerns, because the war consumed not only lives but also supplies: "And we have less than a week's worth of food, which is the most critical thing. ”
Levi's brows were already furrowed, the threat of the undead only led to a huge hidden danger that existed in itself, because even without these undead spirits, with those traditional nobles on the Great Silver Plate Island, as well as the elven fleet that was about to come on the new route, it would already give him a headache.
If there are more lice, it is not itchy, and if there are more debts, even if there are many enemies, Levi feels that it doesn't matter, it's a big deal, anyway, the current Cape Town, that's all.
Because judging from the current Cape Town, it is possible to completely defend in this small town on the east coast, completely abandon any active attack situation and strategic offensive ability, and can completely defend the attack of various enemies in all directions in a short period of time, which Li Wei is quite convinced.
After all, his soldiers were extremely loyal to him, and the citizens loved him very much, so there was no betrayal and surrender under high pressure, so that the entire Cape Town could be completely contained as a whole.
"I don't want that, though."
Nodding slowly, Levi's face was also more solemn, sitting in his position, supporting his chin with both hands, looking at the four cabinet ministers in front of him, and slowly asked, "Do you have any good ideas?" ”
Knowing how to make good use of people is Levy's strength, and asking his cabinet ministers to help him with things that he can't solve is what a good king should do, and in such a high-pressure environment, his own judgment alone will not be a brilliant strategy.
"If it's a good idea, it's not a good idea."
Green was the first to speak, he was the oldest cabinet minister, he had been with Levi for the longest time, and he had the most thorough understanding of the forces in this world, so he also said calmly: "But we don't have to worry too much, because our current thoughts are to put ourselves on the opposite side of everyone." ”
The other cabinet ministers were slightly stunned, and they also looked at Green thoughtfully, even Levi couldn't help frowning, and said, "Go on?" ”
"Your Majesty, our enemies are, in the eyes of others, their enemies too."
Green breathed slowly, looked at Levi and his three colleagues, and explained in a calm tone: "Just like the nobles of Grey Mist City, how can they fight side by side with the undead of the undead, or form an alliance with the elves who have come to invade the North Roaring Sea? ”
Levi's face was slightly stunned, and he was suddenly surprised by Green's statement, and the other cabinet ministers glanced at each other, because this was indeed the correct explanation, and it was quite reliable.
"We're just somewhere in between."
As the Minister of War, Wilmot also saw the terrain strategy more clearly, so he added: "Although we will be in an awkward stage at the beginning because of the geographical location when the multiple enemies do not know each other's information, our pressure will not continue to increase in the future. ”
"Our pressure will continue to decrease, and even because of the hostile relationship between other forces or races, there will be a great relief, and even hope to persevere."
Hall also understood, and followed Wilmot's words and said: "According to this calculation, it is absolutely impossible for the elves to form an alliance with the undead clan, and it is even more impossible for the undead to join forces with the Gray Mist City, and the Gray Mist City has to resist the invasion of the elves, because this is the essential hostile relationship between the three." ”
"So there's only one thing we need to do."
Slowly stretching out his hand, Green's calm face seemed to fix the conference room, he pointed in the direction of the guide face, and said, "With the current victory, force the Gray Mist City to negotiate peace." ”
"I also think peace talks are necessary because we have to buy basic food."
The Chancellor of the Exchequer's Thor also nodded, he managed everything in the current life of Cape Town, including the storage of weapons and ammunition, as well as the storage of food, as well as the receipt of farms, he was in charge, and it also made him understand the current embarrassing situation in Cape Town.
Looking at Li Wei and Chief Minister Green, he also shrugged helplessly and said: "If our farm wants to harvest grain, at least it will have to wait until the end of the month, and for our current growing population, it will not last at that time." ”
"Peace talks are a must."
Levi nodded in the end, Green and Thor's statement is right, if Cape Town falls into a shortage of food, then without the enemy to attack, they themselves will be hungry and dizzy, not to mention combat, maintaining the development of a hungry state is a fatal thing, what else to talk about defending against foreign enemies?
At least Levi also knew that as long as the negotiations in Gray Mist City were confirmed, then the location where he could get supplies and buy a large number of basic supplies was also a matter of importance to him.
Even the most ordinary cast iron balls, or lead plates and gunpowder, are important materials to buy, even if there are maintenance and rest options, you can use energy value to make up for the consumption of these materials, but for Levi, if you can save energy value, then you can save it, and for the silver coins in local circulation, the role of energy value is obviously higher!
"The nobles of Grey Mist City will definitely sit at the negotiating table with us."
Green nodded slightly, and under his calm face, he had already deduced the general situation, and couldn't help but analyze: "They will definitely deal with internal matters first, in order to prevent us from further military operations, it is also a strategy to use negotiations to stabilize us, and we don't even need to take the initiative to send people." ”
"Maybe they'll send someone?" Levi also touched the tip of his nose, remembering that he still knew many people in Gray Mist City, but his brows furrowed slightly, and he was not sure whether those guys who were still friendly participated in the siege.
But Levi's brows also furrowed slightly, the so-called enemies and allies may be just a noun, especially in the eyes of those nobles in Gray Mist City, the companions who used to get along day and night, or the governor who once listened to orders, in a sense, are more like enemies.
The infighting between the nobles is absolutely serious, and from the fact that Morton can be regarded as a rebellious viscount, and a group of people are recruited to almost seize the authority of the governor, it can be seen that the current Great Silver Island is definitely not peaceful.
And the governor of Da Yinpan Island may also want to conquer Cape Town and re-divide a new sphere of interests on the east coast, so as to collect and digest the potential unstable factors of those nobles and regain their power, but he didn't expect the final result to be a fiasco.
This fiasco definitely exposed the hole cards of the governor of Grey Mist City, and even the bottoms leaked out, and the group of nobles who seemed to have calmed down were still obedient on the surface, but what they thought in their hearts was unknown.
What's more, there is also the Mage Tower, which was once able to subjugate under the Governor's Castle, because of the suppression of this staggering number of elite regular troops, now the Governor's Castle is like an arm has been cut off, and the situation in the entire Great Silver Plate Island is even more severe than when Morton was still there, when he made waves by rebelling against the name of the Viscount!
"Therefore, we only need to preemptively deal with Grey Mist City now, even if it is a temporary peace."
Green also had a solemn look on his face, stretched out his fingers and clenched his fists, gently hammered the table twice, looked at Levi and his three colleagues and said solemnly: "Then everything will be settled." ”
"It's a great solution!"
Hall, Wilmot, and Saul's faces were still solemn, and they all nodded heavily in agreement as they listened to Green's suggestion, which was indeed a good idea, and a good plan that could work at the moment.
If they want to develop, then they must preemptively solve the enemy in one direction, and Gray Mist City is the best and most convenient enemy to solve, and even they know that this is just a false peace, but what they want is also the time brought by this so-called peace, a buffer for them!
"Dangdangdang."
While they were still talking, there was a knock at the door, and at the same time, a town militiaman also walked in with the knock, and he didn't care about apologizing, but also reported to Levi with a solemn face: "Your Majesty, there is a messenger from Gray Mist City!" ”
