The sun is shining and the temperature is cool. The room was well-lit and had a faint scent of some precious herb.

But that didn't change the deep apprehension of the fifty-year-old, who filled the room with a long sigh that left only a lonely figure.

Philip's eyes were full of helplessness and remorse.

Rune shouldn't have been attacked in the first place.

But if you don't attack Rune, what can you do?

Stuyard is the only elven kingdom and one of the oldest on the continent.

All power is pooled into the Council of Elders, which consists of ten people.

And Philip is the most special elder, he does not hold any power. However, he was able to mobilize a large amount of supplies at any time, and the other nine elders would also try their best to cooperate.

His duties are to study legends, calculate celestial phenomena, and deal with the dragons of the Great Wall in the north.

Of course, except for the high-level, everyone else only knows that he studied those ancient legends and squandered the power of Stuyard.

Send large quantities of food, clothing and other supplies to a certain place where birds don't poop. Although I don't know the meaning of what he did this, it is certain that after these things were sent, they never came back, and they did not bring back any benefits.

That's how the vast majority of Stuyard influenced him.

Only the other nine elders who knew the secret would spare no effort to help him.

Just five years ago, he reluctantly came up with an important piece of information from a secret scroll left by an ancient man, and then he kept talking to the dragons. According to the latest news from the dragon clan, there is some abnormality.

But Philip wasn't 100% sure that what the scroll said was true, maybe the scroll was just someone's joke, and the dragons found out that the anomaly was just accidental.

But if the whole thing on the scroll happens, then the north can't stay. They are to retreat to the south, and it is better to stay as far from the north as possible.

In addition, the elves learned that Rune's emperor was running out of time, and the two princes fought to the death for the throne. Stuyard decided to go south.

However, Kashoman, who had fought with Rune and returned victorious, strongly opposed the southward occupation of Rune's land, and it was okay to plunder, but not to occupy tens of millions.

At that time, some elders retorted.

"Kashuman, you were only twenty years old, and you were able to invade the hinterland of Rune with five thousand troops, and you almost killed their Count Nils. Although it didn't kill Nils Jr., it was also a great victory. Could it be that in the past 40 years, you have not been on the battlefield, and you have lost the courage to kill? ”

Kashoman rebuked vigorously.

"It's because I've been in Rune's hinterland that I know what kind of behemoth Rune is. We Stuarts can have a population of five million people. But I tell you, Rune has an earl. And they had three counts. A large number of dukes, marquises, barons, viscounts. And humans are better at farming, and they have more food than we do! Stuyard is the ant in front of an elephant in front of Rune. You plunder the population, and they can turn a blind eye if they invade their territory. Rune's other nobles will definitely fight back, do you think Stuyad can withstand Rune's counterattack when the time comes!"

The elders on the spot, except for Philip, knew that there was a huge gap between Stuard and Rune, but the disaster predicted by Philip.

Philip saw that the situation was not good, and quickly said.

"We can wait a few years and wait for Rune to be weak before attacking. After all, disasters don't happen in a moment, and we can start to prepare. ”

Kashuman didn't care about Philip's face.

"Elder Philip, Rune is divided into three nations. Otherwise, you won't have a chance. No matter how sick an elephant is, it can trample an ant to death with one foot. ”

"But if you don't go, if disaster strikes, the ants will die. Now it's time to get a chance!"

Kashoman was furious.

"If you insist on going south, go south! Don't ask me to be your commander when the time comes. ”

After saying that, he grabbed the door and walked out.

Despite Kashoman's warning, the rest of the elders actively prepared for battle.

But Kashoman's warning lingered in everyone's minds.

If you lose, you will lose your position as an elder.

Kashuman is Stuart's number one god of war, and his words carry a lot of weight.

The rest of the elders, fearing defeat, entrusted each other. In the end, only Philip carried it.

But he didn't know anything about the art of war, and he didn't even have any management experience.

After a few years of study, I rushed into battle.

led to all kinds of absurd behaviors of the elven army.

Philip also learned from the lessons of blood. I learn quickly by relying on one's own capable head. And he gradually realized that his generals were right. He should listen to their advice.

But sometimes their suggestions are not consistent, and sometimes they are arguing to the death. Philip, who was already uncertain, didn't know how to choose.

He was a scholar a few years ago!

Originally, it was very difficult to command by himself, but now with the imperial army, Helan's defeat.

Philip sighed at the thought of the difficulties.

At this time, a herald hurriedly broke in.

"Elder Philip, the gates of Wasser City are wide open. ”

Philip couldn't believe his ears.

Are the people of Wasser crazy?

Philip hurried out of the tent and onto the high platform.

The gates of Vasser's city opened, and the gates were full of infantry with shields held high, and behind them were all figures coming in and out.

What's going on?

And Wayne was also very angry at this time.

He went to inspect the army in Black Chess City early this morning.

In the morning light, he looked at the army that had been fighting continuously for nearly two months.

There is no imagined yellow face and thin muscles, and the clothes are unbearable.

And Vasser has plenty of food, and their food should be good, as for clothing, armor. Otero also knew that the army of Black Chess City was weak and had to defend two city walls, if the equipment was still insufficient. Wasserk is really dangerous!.

Equipment, food and grass are sufficient. But the most important thing is morale. Wayne in Heran remembered the soldiers who were on the verge of a mental breakdown, when he decided to defend himself.

The soldier's mood suddenly soared, like a flood opening the floodgates. One can imagine how much pressure they suffered!

And here, the eyes of this group of soldiers are even more desperate than the eyes in Wayne's memory!

The nerves of everyone in this army are like a taut string that will break at the slightest touch!

And the two walls can add up to more than ten kilometers, and they must be defended by 20,000 soldiers!

Wayne wanted to chop Mansour up and feed it to the dogs on the spot.

This army could no longer stay on the walls.

Take it down as soon as possible.

Wayne directly asked Mansour's army to move the defenses!

There were also a few generals who disobeyed the order on the spot, and Wayne didn't say much, and directly asked them to go around the city wall.

In less than an hour, the change of guard was completed!
