Perhaps Drington's sources of intelligence were reliable. Perhaps his and Earl Exxon's plan was indeed a great opportunity to turn the tide of the war and achieve a great victory, but alas, their ideas were not the same as the whole war. Antelo's plans are the opposite.
The Tundra Orcs relied on the conspiracy of the Three Holy Baptists to breach the Great Wall of Anduin and invade the Northlands with a surprise attack. Although it was difficult to fight against an army of 100,000 orcs with the strength of the Far Frost Province, the balance of power between the two sides had changed under the pattern of the entire Ferredon Platinum Empire.
Archduke Antelo was a mage, and he may not know the specific military knowledge of setting up camp, rehearsing formations, training soldiers, and arranging troops, but he knew more about grand strategy than any professional soldier. Under the effective strategic arrangement of the Lord of Wands, although the human army has been losing and retreating, it has now stopped its decline, and all that remains is to hold on and wait for reinforcements to arrive.
Since time is on his side, how to deal with this battle in the safest way and achieve the final victory is what the Grand Duke needs to consider.
But the Earl of Drington and Exxon are different. Grand Duke Antello was well aware of the thoughts of these two men. They are military aristocrats who are bent on making achievements, and even do not hesitate to put their careers and glory above the overall situation of the entire Northland. Perhaps their plan was brilliant, but Archduke Antelo would not take the risk of following their advice.
Seeing the Scepter Lord shaking his head slightly, Drington's face, which was originally full of confidence, suddenly became ugly.
"Your plan is very feasible and the information you provide is very convincing, but I still can't afford to let the entire city, or even the entire province of Far Frost, take the extra risk. If the plan to destroy the floating fortress has met with a setback. I'll consider your builds. β
Although his words were more tactful and there was still room for improvement, Dellington and Earl Exxon knew that this Jianyì, who used the orc infighting to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop, was completely rejected.
Seeing that the best opportunity to make a career is quickly gone. The unwilling Earl of Exxon also lost his usual calm. He propped up the table with both hands, stood up suddenly, his eyes were slightly red, and he almost gritted his teeth and said, "Grand Duke, please think about it again, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!" Since we can take the initiative to destroy the enemy. And why huddle behind the walls and wait for others to come to the rescue? What is the honor of the people of Ferredon? Where is the courage of the believers of the dragon god! β
Facing the impassioned Captain of the Wintertalon Legion, Rob. Grand Duke Antello just said calmly: "You're a little excited, Exxon, go back and calm down." β
"Humph!"
The huge disappointment in his heart instantly turned into resentment, and Count Exxon snorted coldly. Turn away. And Darlington glanced at Gordon and followed with a grim face.
Unexpectedly, at the end of the military meeting, the two high-level officials actually quarreled so fiercely, it was equivalent to tearing their faces, and the rest of the people in the hall looked at each other, and the atmosphere fell silent.
"Whatever Earl Exxon thinks, I hope you are not affected. Be resolute in following through on the plan we have previously made. Wait for reinforcements to arrive. It's the biggest win. The Earl of Exxon was only at this meeting and I had an argument, so I didn't care. But if anyone dares to disobey my orders and take substantive action, don't blame me for being rude......"
Everyone read a hint of cold and fierce taste from the Grand Duke's words, shivered, and nodded yes.
"So be it." The Grand Duke glanced at Count Reinaline, "When you go back, order the Redstone Legion to spy on the Wintertalon Legion's movements. If Earl Exxon really dares to do something stupid......"
"Got it." The bald captain replied solemnly.
Finally, the meeting ended, and the high-ranking officials of High Rock City left the hall. But Gordon and Rob. Antello didn't leave. The Grand Duke and Gordon began formal discussions on how to destroy the floating fortress of the Three Holy Baptists.
"We're going to destroy the floating fortress. It needs to have enough destructive power. But even the nine-ring spell 'Combined Lightning' I cast on the first night of the battle couldn't do that. Unless it's a true legendary spell, I guess. But unfortunately, even I don't have the ability to cast legendary spells right now. β
The current state of the Lord of Wands. Gordon naturally knows. Whether it is physical or magical means, it is difficult to destroy the floating fortress with conventional methods, and now with the conditions of High Rock City.
Therefore, Gordon thought about it and could only find an unconventional means.
And he did.
Grand Duke Antello looked at Gordon: "You mentioned to me yesterday that you have a special explosive that can completely destroy the floating fortress......"
"Yes, Grand Duke." Gordon nodded, "The explosive I spoke of is in my golem's body. It's the Golem's power source, a Mithic core. β
The reason why Gordon insisted on not telling the details of the plan at the military meeting just now, so that the Earl of Exxon was very dissatisfied, was because of this Mithic core.
Although when Gordon took down the Mithor Core from the floating battleship of the Magic Empire of Netherduran in the Denzer Ruins, its energy output had been reduced by more than 9o%, and it was close to exhaustion. But it's still a useful thing for any mage in this day and age.
Moreover, Gordon may not be able to restore the Mithor Core, but the world is so big that it is impossible to tell which legendary mage or high-end spellcaster organization has the ability to restore the Mither Core.
The Mithic Core in Gordon's hand is not only a treasure, but also something that may cause big trouble.
Even when he asked Rob. When Grand Duke Antello sent someone to assist him in the Golem renovation project, he completed the core power system work alone, and after the power system was completed, he also added thick metal plates, completely sealed them, and blessed several spells to prevent prying eyes during the installation process.
So carefully guarding this secret until now, there has not been a single problem. While people were amazed by the incomparable power of his Black Titan, no one knew what kind of power Gordon's giant golem was powered by.
However, although the Black Titan is powerful, in order to win this war, Gordon can only contribute it.
Now he and Archduke Antello are already in the same boat, sharing weal and woe. The war was won, and everyone was better. Failed, everyone was unlucky.
And in order to obtain a territory of his own and prepare for the mage tower needed to promote the mage of the Six Rings in the future, Gordon must also win this war in order to obtain enough merits.
After all, improving one's own strength is the highest priority, and although the Black Titan is powerful, it is only a foreign object after all.
So after careful consideration, Gordon decided to transform the Mither Core into a level magic bomb to destroy the floating fortress.
Rob. Archduke Antello gasped in shock when he heard that Gordon's golem had a Mithic core in its body. Even for this well-informed former legendary mage, the Mithic Core is an extremely rare and precious magical item.
He pondered for a moment before he said, "If the plan succeeds, we destroy the floating fortress and win the war, and I will compensate you when the time comes." After all, your Black Titan is a powerful constructed creature that even I am a little jealous of. It's a pity that it's ruined like that. β
"It's up to you."
Another reason why Gordon was willing to sacrifice his golem to help Ferreton destroy the floating fortress was that he knew Rob. Antelo's character. Having followed the boss for a while, Gordon knew he wasn't a miser. You will definitely be able to get the right compensation.
Gordon's plan was very feasible, and if the Mithric core were to detonate, it would be powerful enough to destroy the floating fortress. The rest is how to send this "big bomb" to the sky. And to achieve this goal, it will require the efforts of the entire Lord's Mage Corp......
When Rob. While Antelo was discussing with Gordon and the mages of the Order of Mages how to use the Mithic Core to destroy the floating fortress, at the other end of High Rock, at the door of Drington's residence, Averan was talking to Viscount Lankde, who served the royal intelligence agency.
"I'm sorry, Ms. Efran, but it seems that my words were not convincing enough to convince Rob. Grand Duke Antelo believed. Viscount Ranke said apologetically.
Efran shook her head slightly, blaming Gordon for tonight's defeat: "It's okay, I know you've done your best, but it's a pity that the Grand Duke was bewitched by that damn mage and actually gave up this opportunity to defeat the orcs lightly." β
The Eisenstein mage had a brief relationship with Viscount Rankard when she traveled to Thunder Rock Province in the past. Although the two sides have broken up, Eflan still has a deep memory of the viscount's ability and identity.
By chance, she met Viscount Rankard in High Rock, and with the unique "weapon" between the woman's legs, she obtained confidential information about the infighting of the orc army. Eflan immediately recognized that this was a great opportunity for Dellington to make a difference, and acted as an intermediary to introduce the two sides to each other.
"Knight Drington, although the Grand Duke did not adopt your and Earl Exxon's ideas today, please don't give up lightly. The situation can change at any time, maybe tomorrow, it will all change. Opportunity favors only those who are prepared. Viscount Rankard said this to Drington and disappeared into the darkness.
Drington knew that Rankard had been in a relationship with his sister, but he didn't care. He carefully reflected on Rankard's words, and felt that the other party seemed to mean something......
