The four viscounts did not exchange many pleasantries, but only bowed slightly to Prince Leotis, who was seated in the chair, and then sat down separately. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Since everyone is here, let's have lunch first."

Prince Leotis summoned his attendants, whispered a few words, and then let him go, and in a short time the doors of the chamber were opened, and the attendants came in carts loaded with delicate dishes.

Shiloh hadn't eaten a normal meal since he had crossed into this world, so he couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva at the table in front of him.

The calf ribs from the Yorkshire collar are fried just right, and the freehand sprinkling of rosemary and the rich sauce create an intoxicating aroma; The honey-grilled trout is golden in color, the crispy skin and the white and tender meat form a perfect match, and the sweet and delicate taste is completely impossible to stop the action in your hands; The creamy mushroom soup is delicious, warming the empty stomach pouch on this cold winter day; Vegetables are rare in winter, but the salad made of fresh vegetables in front of you is clearly full of the refreshing smell of spring; As for the main ***, the finely ground bread is appetizing, whether it is paired with fine butter or mellow sauce; The fine wine and juicy steak also have a charming charm.

Such a table of food is enough for the nobles who have not had a good meal for a long time.

Moreover, Shiloh seems to have tasted some déjà vu from the seasoning of the dish.

"How, the chef's skills brought from the royal capital are still good, and in the past few years, he has learned a little Zedi-style food, and a few days ago, a chef who fled also joined my kitchen, she is good at Mordred's highland style dishes, as if she used to be the chef of a baron's family in the past."

Prince Leotis cut off a small piece of steak and put it in his mouth, and after serving it with red wine, he said as if boasting.

Shiloh immediately thought of who His Royal Highness was talking about, and it seemed that most of the people of that village should have escaped safely to the Kainz territory, and he was very pleased that he had saved the life of at least one of the people of a small village in the great tide of history.

"It's delicious."

Verahir quickly ate the food on the plate, although she is not picky about food, even the rough food of the army can swallow her stomach, but Verahir is still a nobleman after all, such exquisite food, naturally she can be quite satisfied.

As for the nobles such as Viscount Wellington, they were not so restrained, and the fatigue of the days of fighting made them have no time to take care of their image, and in the process of gobbling up, the food on the table has already been swept away.

Even Shiloh had no resistance to the delicious food, and he tried his best to maintain a normal eating rate, but his hands never stopped.

Only Princess Elyfils and Prince Leotis, one of whom was required to be elegant at all times because of his education, and the other was indifferent because he could enjoy such food every day, so he did not appear to be too rude.

I don't know if it was because of this, but there were few people talking during the lunch, and almost all of them were Prince Leotis telling about what he had done in Kainz, and for a while, Shiloh even had the illusion that there was no war and that it was still a time of peace.

However, after everyone had eaten and drunk, the sense of urgency of war quickly returned to everyone's hearts, and at the time of lunch, perhaps I don't know how many of Aster's people were consumed by the flames of war, and silence spread in the banquet.

"So, Master Strass, when are we leaving?"

Eventually, it was Geralheide who broke the silence by glancing at Verahir and tapping his fingertips on the table with a subtle tap.

"What's going on in Fort Lothric?"

Vera Hill did not answer directly, only responded to the question with a question.

"They have about a thousand troops, cowering in the castle's magical ramparts, and at best, Fort Lothric can hold out for a week, at worst...... Less than three days. ”

Geralhaide replied, his voice flat and not a hint of trembling.

"If I had gone alone, I would have arrived in less than a day, but the enemy was so outnumbered that I couldn't have rescued too many."

In other words, if Verachiel were to fight the enemy alone, it would be very likely that he would save only Count Llorion.

"If you want to break the siege, you can only lead elite cavalry, day and night, and attack at the same time with the friendly forces of Fort Loslick, and only then can you have a chance of winning."

Shiloh knew what Verahir meant, and even if he did, he would only guarantee that some important nobles and a small number of soldiers would break through, and most of the soldiers now stationed at Fort Lothrik would not be able to escape the fate of being killed in battle.

"I can draw a part of the garrison near Fort Loothric and fight alongside you, Lord Strass."

Prince Leotis added that he seemed to be interested in rescuing the Asterian army at Fort Lothric, but Shiloh thought it was quite normal.

"How many troops does Wendland have?"

Vera Hill then asked, having an approximate estimate of the size of the Eastern Front Regiment from Geralhaid's previous description, but still wanted a more specific number.

"Close to 10,000 men, or more, the entire Central Army of Wendland is overwhelmed, but there may not be as many enemy troops besieging Fort Lothric."

Geralheide said as he reflected that he was in charge of the defense of Fort Cainz, and that he was in contact with the various realms.

"Ten thousand thousand, three gold, and more silver, if a month ago, Springfield, I would definitely say you're crazy......"

Verahir said lightly, and then a slight smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"But now, even if it is a war, it is not impossible."

"Lord Strass is indeed very brave, I salute you with this glass."

Seeing that Verahir had almost agreed, Prince Leotis raised his glass and drank its contents down.

"However, I will not send the men of the Third Legion to help, so that after a long journey, my men will only be sent to their deaths, and the time will be delayed."

Verahill turned to Prince Leotis.

"Your Royal Highness, please give me the power of the three fortresses near Fort Rosric, and I will go alone and lead the soldiers of those three cities, which is enough to break the siege."

"This ...... Well, since Master Strass has spoken, I naturally trust you, and I will write the paperwork immediately, and they will be under your full command. ”

Prince Leotis obviously did not expect Verahir to make such a request, but after thinking for a while, he readily agreed, the garrison of the three fortresses is about 1,000 people, and although it seems too small in the face of an army of 10,000 people, it is still possible to fight a bloody way under the leadership of a legend.

After all, even with the current Verahir's own strength, he can rival an army of more than a thousand people.

"Then I'll leave in the afternoon, and I'll be at Fort Lothric at dawn tomorrow."

Verahir didn't have much expression on her face, just her usual tone, and said calmly. (To be continued.) )
