Chapter 241: Agreement, Intermediate Support, Counteroffensive

Politics has always been a game of the superior, and as a vassal or subordinate, its opinion may be important, but it will not be decisive. Therefore, at the subsequent joint meeting of the nobles of Atburg, although the "Rheinberg package solution" proposed by Baron Ensberg also caused controversy and doubts among the heads of various families, after being disturbed for most of the day, the final result was to follow Moriarty's overall plan.

"Thank you very much for your support and understanding. I firmly believe that the flower of friendship watered by the fire of war and blood will bloom forever. Raising his glass, Moriarty stood for the first time in front of the nobles of Kent as the absolute protagonist.

"May friendship last forever!"

It's not clear what everyone thinks in their hearts, but at least on the surface, everyone is impassionedly clinking glasses together.

From this moment on, a new political-military-military force officially appeared in Kent.

"Once the situation stabilizes, I will give priority to sending troops to help you recover your lost ground. At the same time, everyone also knows that there are many other nobles who have unfortunately died in this demon war, so the new order after the war still needs the joint efforts of everyone present. Pressure alone doesn't bring about a lasting balance, so after taking the initiative on the surface, Moriarty immediately threw out the follow-up bait.

"Morty is right. This war is both a threat and an opportunity. Moreover, it is not only my county that has been invaded by demons, but other counties in the kingdom are also in the same crisis. If we can actively regain the lost territory, we can even send troops to other counties. I think your territories and titles will be different after the war. "It is worthy of being a veteran nobleman who is skilled in personnel, and perhaps Baron Ensberg quietly greeted him, and Lord Herring immediately took the "bell" from Moriarty's hand and carried it forward.

"Yes, that makes sense."

"Yes, if we do establish meritorious deeds, I think even the royal capital side should consider it."

"If you can gather the power of our county, you may not be able to defeat the demons, and even send troops to other counties."

Since Moriarty has made it clear that he wants to take advantage of the chaos to occupy the southeastern sub-fortress of the kingdom, he will occupy some borderless lands in the name of fighting demons. It makes sense. After the war, once the royal family was held accountable. There is also Ensberg top up front. With this consensus, the atmosphere in the conference hall was changed again. And at this point, with a common basis of interests, the "chariot" headed by the Ensberg family really stabilized and was ready to hit the tracks.

"Morty. When are you going to counterattack the Rheinberg? ”

All of the above agreements were based on the premise that Moriarty would be able to reclaim the Rhineberg from the demons. Moreover, the long-standing defensive war has long made a hot-blooded soldier like Lord Rosser hold his breath. Immediately asked.

"Tomorrow."

"So fast?" Baron Ensberg was also shocked when he first learned the news.

"Your troops have come thousands of miles, and they will immediately be engaged in a fierce battle. This—" Lord Rosser also looked at the other party hesitantly, but the words of doubt did not come out directly.

"We came by airship, so we don't actually consume much, and we can recover quickly after resting. Moreover, I fear that in the long run, the news of our troops' arrival at Atburg will spread among the demons, and that the Rhineberg side may be on increased alert at that time. ”

Although the demon may seem like a cannibal and has no reason to speak of, in fact, its top brass also has outstanding resourcefulness and foresight, so Moriarty must hurry up if he wants to raid Rheinberg.

"I see." The baron nodded, and then asked, "What kind of force support do you need?" ”

"My subordinates have basically fully loaded the airship, so hopefully I need mid-level and above fighter support." Moriarty had already made a plan and said directly.

"Intermediate..."

Baron Ensberg was a little more difficult to meet this request. There are only a dozen mid-level warriors in Fort Arte now, and if they are separated from the eldest son, then their own defense pressure will be greatly increased, even if it is only for a short time.

"Three, I can divide three mid-level fighters to support your attack." After much thought, the baron decided.

"Thank you, father." The three intermediate levels didn't sound like much, but they were quite helpful, and Moriarty immediately thanked him sincerely.

Soon, three mid-tier warriors were selected and brought to Moriarty: Victoria, a fifth-tier warrior. Rosser, fifth-level warrior Canel, and sixth-level warrior Robert. Joe.

Among them, Victoria is the Miss Rosser who was one of the bargaining chips and almost became Moriarty's wife. But I haven't seen her for a few years, but I didn't expect her to be promoted to a middle-level professional, which is an outlier among noble ladies.

"It's a pleasure to see you again, Miss Victoria." Out of politeness, Moriarty first greeted the lady of the three.

"I am also glad to be able to return at this time, your Excellency, you are a true gentleman." Unlike the cold attitude of the past, Victoria in front of him is quite friendly.

"Thank you." Looking at the tall female warrior who was almost as tall as herself, Moriarty smiled and nodded, and then glanced at the other two middle-level warriors separately: "Three, the operation will start tomorrow morning, when we will take an airship to the Rhineberg, and then raid in at noon, destroy all the demons entrenched in one fell swoop, and then completely occupy the place." ”

"Your Excellency, what is our total strength?" Robert. Joe, who belonged to another lord's family, was a calm middle-aged man, and immediately frowned and asked.

"As for the specific plan of action, it will be explained by my staff officer. Please report to the small square before 6 a.m. today. Without further explanation, Moriarty said lightly, but a battlefield aura was faintly awe-inspiring in him.

"Yes, Your Excellency."

Feeling the real "aura of conquest" on the other party, no one dared to question Moriarty's identity as a commander, which is only possessed by soldiers who have really been on the battlefield. Even Lord Rosser secretly admired this seemingly young junior as if he could do anything.

Because the war was imminent, the welcome dinner scheduled for the evening had to be cancelled. After a brief dinner, Moriarty and Baron Ensberg had a meeting between them in the secret room. The content of the meeting was an agreement on the future offensive and defensive alliance between Rhineberg and Atburg.

After preliminary discussions, Arteburg will provide food, cloth and other daily necessities to the Rhineberg side for a long time at an average price of 30% lower than the market price, and in exchange for Rhineberg and Earth Studio will sell a batch of special military products and alchemy props at cost price to enhance the defense capability of the Atburg side. Baron Ensberg even agreed to transfer a certain number of refugees to the post-Restoration Rhineberg in order to bolster the foundation of Moriarty's rule.

"Morty, would you like to meet your brother?" After the preliminary agreement was finalized, Baron Ensberg suddenly asked.

"No need, it's not early, I think he's already asleep." Moriarty shook her head and stood up.

"It's fine." The baron smiled regretfully and stood up as well.

Return to the makeshift camp in the small square, where many tents have already been erected. In addition to the necessary patrol guards, the others have already begun to rest after a full meal. Of course, the battle plan for the flight to Rheinberg early tomorrow morning had been decided, but it was not a big deal for the battle-hardened Olympus, and the veterans just chatted casually and then lay down and fell asleep.

"As old Crow said, this is the plan of tomorrow's battle, and the key is to surprise and block. Do you all understand? In the captain's room of the Great Cloud, Moriarty pointed to the magic sand table and discussed tomorrow's siege plan with a group of henchmen.

"Understood, hehe, finally let our brothers be pioneers!"

Naga's younger brother Chekov laughed loudly first, because according to Clausewitz's arrangement, the three Balalaika brothers would take on the crucial first wave of attacks, although the most dangerous, but also the most glorious.

"Hmph, just rely on patience-, what's the point?" Guderian didn't get the striker position, and couldn't help muttering a little sourly.

"What are you rambling!? Remembering your battle position and responsibilities can also make the difference between success and failure if you can stop the demons from counterattacking. ”

White glared directly at the silverbearded dwarf, who couldn't help but look down to count the ants.

"This time, Fort Atter sent three mid-rank warriors to assist us in the battle. Staff officer, use them as battle reserves. Turning his head, Moriarty looked at the old werewolf.

"Hehe, I see."

Knowing whether he didn't trust these new allies so much, or didn't want to compromise his relationship with the Kent nobles by losing his manpower, Moriarty clearly intended to put the three of Ateburg in a safer second-tier position. However, although the old werewolf smiled and nodded, he made up his mind that if tomorrow's attack was blocked, he would send the three of them to the fiercest and most dangerous battle position, as consumables to replace Olympus's casualties.

As a staff officer, Clausewitz always put his troops first. As for politics or anything, that's not something that military personnel should think about.

"Haiyna, you and Earth Studio will stay here for the time being, and if the airship is right, it will return to Fort Arte tomorrow night to pick you up."

"Yes, I see." Haiyuna nodded and accepted her fiancé's arrangement obediently.

"Also, tomorrow Hugo should come to discuss with you about the transfer of the 'people', the first batch is about fifty households, and I will ask you to contact you for specific matters."

"Okay."

These fifty families were the refugees who had been transferred to Rheinberg by agreement, and there would be two more to come.

"So, ladies and gentlemen, our 'new life' in Erathia will officially begin tomorrow, work hard! Wansheng! ”

"Wan Sheng!" (To be continued......)
