By this time it was already dark, and according to the wartime regulations, the curfew was lifted, and even the lights and fires were extinguished except for the military units and the inner fort. But when Morarty stood in front of Windsor Castle, he saw a brilliant field of lights, and countless civilians lit torches and lanterns, excitedly gathered in the distance, cheering in his direction. Many people shouted and burst into tears, and finally couldn't cry.

Sure enough, the people in Windsor Castle had already been overwhelmed by years of treacherous siege, and their spirits were extremely depressed, for fear that one day the demons would attack and slaughter the city. Now, once the demon army has been defeated, Windsor Castle has finally returned to peace, and all the soldiers and civilians seem to have been reborn, and they are naturally grateful to the Lord Viscount Salk and their allies the Olympus Legion.

They didn't stay in front of the city gate for long, and soon, under the escort of the guards, Viscount Salk, Moriarty and others passed through the crowd of people on the outer layer and entered the inner fort. There, the banquet hall has been newly decorated, and there is no longer the gloomy atmosphere of wartime, and the attendants are also in high spirits and waiting.

There is no doubt that Viscount Salk and Moriarty are the most noble of all, so their positions are also arranged next to each other and set on the throne, and below them are the noble daughter Mathil and Hamilton representing Fort Arte.

Of course, Hamilton's knighthood was not enough to sit in such a prestigious position, even if he was the emissary of Baron Ensberg. But now that the "Lionheart" has become the "Round Table", he will at least be knighted and the corresponding land by his lord in the future, otherwise it will not be able to accommodate his fame. So, a "round table" knight sat in a high position. It also convinces others.

As for Lord Senbo, as the only "vassal" of Moriarty now, he is also a rising tide and is quite "popular", and he sits in the second seat very close to the two bigwigs.

On the contrary, Charlie, who was in the spotlight, did not come to tonight's banquet, but it was in line with his usual temperament of being impatient with mundane things.

"Ladies and gentlemen, first of all, let us once again welcome His Excellency Moriarty to Windsor Castle, and at the same time, to celebrate the defeat of the Demon Heavy Legion by our Kent Coalition Army today, annihilating nearly 2,000 enemy troops, including one Great Demon and eight high-level demons! I mention yì, let's drink a full glass of wine together! ”

The military viscount did not rap like an ordinary nobleman. Raise your glass directly. Instantly. Everyone present also stood up and held the silver cup in front of them high.

"Cheers!"

In a warm toast, the nobles drank the wine one after another, and there were bursts of heartfelt laughter one after another.

Next. The viscount directly announced the opening of the feast.

Forthwith. The attendants delivered the delicacies that had just been cooked in an orderly manner. Meantime. He refilled the empty glasses with the liquor. It's just that because of the hasty preparation of time, there is no such time-consuming and laborious dish as barbecue gold leaf peacock.

And since the beginning of the banquet. An endless stream of low-level nobles came to the main seat and toasted the two bigwigs.

In this regard, Moriarty responded politely one by one, and the toast was quite refreshing. On the contrary, after a long time, Matiel on the other side couldn't look past it, and he felt a little sorry for his lover's body, so he also opened his mouth to block a lot for him.

Because it was really just a small banquet, the whole dinner lasted about three hours before it came to an end, and there was no repertoire such as a dance party after that, which was very "efficient".

After rinsing his mouth and face, Moriarty said goodbye to the nobles, and then went with the viscount to a small hall elsewhere to discuss business.

"Sir Charlie, I brought you a bottle of wine."

I don't know how Moriarty hid it, but when he came to the small hall and saw the Sanctuary who was already waiting, he took out an unopened bottle of hardcover Retus from his bosom and handed it to the other party, obviously from the banquet just now.

"Thanks, I'm thirsty."

Charlie smiled and took it, then gently brushed his fingernail over the cap, and the bottle was silently opened, followed by a long drink.

"Dear Templar, Hamilton salutes you!"

After Charlie had finished drinking, Hamilton on the side stepped forward and respectfully saluted the other party. Today, during the day, I witnessed the Templar single-handedly breaking through the dark and blasphemous realm, and his glorious and majestic appearance was admired by the "Lion Heart" and cited as a role model.

"Long time no see, Hamilton. Congratulations, you are also sitting at the 'round table' today and achieving a high level. Hehe. Charlie also had a good impression of Hamilton, so he also smiled and nodded in greeting: "After talking for a while, how about we have a drink together?" ”

"Yes! It's a pleasure! ”

Hearing the other party's invitation to drink, "Lion Heart" was immediately overjoyed and hurriedly nodded in agreement. You know, being invited by a new Templar is not only a big face, but it also gives Hamilton a chance to get close to the Extreme Powers, which will be of great help to him in his future career path.

"Alright, call here first. Come, sit down, and now let's talk about the next step of the military strategy. ”

Moriarty sat down on the couch, and the old man sat across from him. Charlie and Hamilton, on the other hand, habitually stood on either side, merely as observers.

"Viscount, do you already have a plan?" Looking at the viscount with a full expression, Moriarty's heart moved, and he asked first.

"Hehe, smart fellow." The old man didn't seem to have the idea to go around in circles, and he got straight to the point: "I do have some ideas, and I hope to discuss them with you." ”

"Yes, I'm listening." Moriarty's attitude is still very low.

"Today, the two allied forces of you and me have smashed the enemy army under Windsor Castle, almost sweeping away the main force and essence of the demon in Kent, and the demon's strength will inevitably be greatly damaged. At the same time, as soon as the siege of Windsor was lifted, the troops of our Salk family were also released, and our mobile forces were greatly strengthened. In this way, the two phases are added and subtracted, at least in this county, the human race has the advantage and initiative in military strength. ”

"Yes, that's right." Moriarty nodded.

"Then, in order not to give the demon a chance to breathe, and in order to seize the time to solve the internal trouble as soon as possible, I want to directly attack the direction of Merriren and Fort Artre from two lines at the same time, and completely recover the entire territory of Kent County in one fell swoop." Looking at Moriarty, the old man said loudly.

"Fighting on two fronts?"

Hearing this, Moriarty couldn't help but frown slightly.

Because according to the general policy in the earliest four-party alliance agreement, the siege of Windsor, McLiren, and Art must be carried out step by step, one by one, trying to maintain the maximum strength of the human side, and not giving the demons a chance to take advantage of. But now the old man proposed to attack separately and attack the demons in the two places at the same time, which seemed to be a suspicion of radical progress.

"Yes, it's a two-front battle!" Seeing the other party's different colors, the viscount didn't care, and said: "Although we have had some general strategies before, they can't be shackles for actual combat; Moreover, the military situation and the enemy's situation are changing, so it is natural that they must move randomly according to the situation. Now that we have a strategic advantage, we need to quickly turn it into a victory. Otherwise, once the demon's reinforcements re-enter Kent County with slow movement, it will be difficult to destroy the enemy at that time. ”

"My lord, how do you do that?"

Salk was a retired Brigadier General of the Kingdom with a first-class military strategy, so Moriarty had no intention of arguing with him too much, so he continued to ask.

"Specifically, I'll rest for seven days after today. After a week, you and I will divide our things and go at the same time to relieve the siege of Fort Artre and Fort Merrilen. The old man waved his hand, as if he had already won the game: "Look, how is it?" With that, Viscount Salk leaned back comfortably on the buckskin sofa and looked at Moriarty with a smirk.

"I see."

Moriarty also looked back at the old man, and there was a flash in his eyes.

Hehe, what to seize the fighter plane, operate on two fronts, and settle the situation before the demon reacts, all these are just excuses. What the viscount in front of him really wants is actually the phrase "divide each other".

"So, what is this east-west arrangement?" Moriarty asked, almost knowingly.

"Hehe, now that the battle has been fought now, you kid should also go home and take a look, so naturally you will hand over the direction of Fort Arte to Olympus." The old man didn't care, and smiled.

Sure enough, Olympus went to Fort Arte, and the task of rescuing MacLelan fell to the Viscount.

It's really far-sighted! I think that from the earliest time when the old man asked Moriarty to take the lead in relieving Windsor Castle, he had been thinking about it like this. Imagine, if Salk saves Maclelen, then in the future, what kind of face will Viscount Maclelen have to compete with this old rival for the crown of "County Uncle"?

is really worthy of being a veteran political figure, and if he loses one son, he will set the return of ten sons!

"Well, I see what you mean." There were some things on the scene that could not be broken, and Moriarty nodded directly.

"So what do you mean?" Understand, but not agree, Moriarty did not give an answer, and the old man couldn't help asking.

"My lord, it seems to me that the Salk family, after today's great victory, is undoubtedly the first in Kent in terms of reputation and strength. Moreover, His Excellency Charles is now also the Lord of the Templars, and he will definitely be able to assist the Lord to go further. After thinking for a while, Moriarty suddenly smiled and said, "So if the Lord has an order, I will naturally obey it." It's just..."

"Oh? Just what? ”

The old man sat up straight and began to wait for the other party to make a condition.

After all, everyone is a smart person, and Viscount Salk never thought that Moriarty would let himself take advantage of it without saying a word. And listening to what he just said, the focus has directly skipped the current battle situation, and put it on the "further" after the war. Hehe, the old man is a viscount, how can he progress? If you want to enter again, it is natural to have to be an earl.

It can be seen that Moriarty directly intends to negotiate terms with the old man on some core issues. (To be continued......)
