White Bear Town.

"Good news, Lord Baron!"

With a happy look on his face, the soldier who delivered the letter handed the letter to Willy.

"Huh?"

Willy, who was reviewing the documents, raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and took the letter.

"The first victory, have you already won......"

Although he had long expected the outcome of the victory over Shibei Town, when he really saw the news of the victory, Willy still felt a little relieved.

This victory not only announced that he had started the first step of the conquest campaign, but also tested the military strength of White Bear Town with actual combat.

"Arden did a great job......

After reading the letter, Willy nodded silently: "And Banderen, this guy is simply a violent weapon with human consciousness...... If the number of steel lives increases further in the future, then this force can even surpass the elite guard regiment and become the number one hole card in White Bear Town......"

Banderen's amazing performance has all been recorded in the letters.

Rao is Willy, and he is also amazed by the combat effectiveness of this iron warrior.

"Lord Baron!"

Just as Willy was thinking about how to reward Arden, Boudall, and Banderen, there was a knock on the door.

Dahn and Thorpes came to their study together, both with smiles on their faces.

"Looks like you've got the news of your win as well. ”

At this time, Thorpes's face was also full of smiles.

Although this victory was led by Arden of the Elite Guard, it could not erase the contribution of the Pro-Soldier Agency.

Most of the cavalry who attacked Shibei Town this time were people from the Guards Department, and the Guards Department was subordinate to the Pro-Arms Department and was under the jurisdiction of Thorpes.

"Congratulations, Lord Baron. ”

Dahn also congratulated on the side.

"Why did you two come here at the same time?"

Willy asked, looking at Dahn and Thorpes.

Thorpes replied, "I'm here to discuss with you about the next step, and Dahn is here to report something." ”

"Dahn, is there a problem with the coastal defense team?"

Willy raised an eyebrow.

Generally speaking, it is enough to present the small things to yourself through a document report, and you don't need Dahn to report the situation in person.

"The Sea Elves have some news for us. ”

Dahn nodded.

"Sea elves?"

Willy sat up straight, looked at Dahn, and motioned for him to continue.

The sea elves are now an important strategic partner of White Bear Town, and after the beginning of this turmoil, the sea elves who moved to the coastal vicinity of White Bear Town can be said to be an important support force for the coastal border defense of White Bear Town, they can not only provide military reinforcements to White Bear Town at a critical moment, but also play a huge role in intelligence exploration.

"Yes, just now, the person in charge of liaison with the sea elves received new news. ”

Dahn said: "Since yesterday, the coastal defense ships in Oyster City have been gathering and mobilizing, and it seems that they are planning something. I suspect that this could be an operation against our White Bear Town. There is a possibility that they will attack us from the sea, directly at our base camp. ”

Dahn voiced his fears.

"Hmmm......"

When Willy heard this, he didn't respond immediately, but rubbed his chin with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

The sea elves have strong latent ability and perception in the ocean, so when he officially decided to fight Oyster City, Willy appointed the bronze-level transcendent of the sea elf clan to help him go to the vicinity of Oyster City to investigate intelligence, after all, both sides belong to the same coastline, and in terms of coastal defense, they still have to be guarded against.

Sure enough, the Sea Elves brought them crucial information.

"Dahn, you're right, this has to be guarded against. ”

Hearing this, Willy tapped the table top with his fingertips, making a thumping sound.

"What are we going to do, Lord Baron, do we wait for this to happen, or do we prepare for battle now?"

Dahn asked, "Oyster City mobilizes warships, and the probability of attacking us is quite high. ”

Willy muttered, "Let's prepare our defenses first, the sea enemies of Oyster City, there should be no one else except us." ”

Combat capabilities at sea, White Bear Town is not lacking.

In times of peace, White Bear often participates in piracy operations at sea.

Boudal's fanged pirate regiment was destroyed by his own White Bear Town coastal defense team.

However, although the coastal defense force of White Bear Town is good, it is much worse in scale than Oyster City, which makes it impossible for Willy to take the initiative to start a sea war and launch an attack on Oyster City by sea. Because once this is done, the coastal defense force after the White Bear Town has transferred personnel will become insufficient.

"I see. ”

Dahn nodded solemnly.

He also felt a heavy pressure on his shoulders.

The pro-military department has already made meritorious contributions, and its own coastal defense team must also show some performance.

"Do a good job of cooperating with the sea elves, with their help, the pressure on coastal defense will be much easier. ”

Willy spoke to Dahn again.

Hearing this, Dahn nodded in response: "In that case, then Lord Baron, I will leave first." ”

Now that the Baron has already given the order, then he will hurry up and arrange the execution.

"Good. ”

Willy waved his hand.

"Dahn used to be the most relaxed of the three of us, and now it seems that he will be busy for a while. ”

Thorpes said with a smile as he looked at Dahn's hurried back.

Although he knew that Oyster City might make a move against White Bear, Thorpes was not worried, he was confident in the coastal defense capabilities of Dahn and White Bear.

Although Dahn is not as busy as himself and Sandor, he always plays very steadily at critical moments.

"So Willy, how should we proceed with our land arrangement? will we take a break after the first victory, or will we continue to attack against Viscount Babila's control?"

Thorpes asked at Willy.

Willy didn't respond immediately, but asked rhetorically, "What do you think?"

"Me?"

Thorpes was not inhibited in front of Willy, he sat on the chair in the study, and leaned lightly on the backrest: "I think I can take a break and integrate the forces of the other southwestern border territories, and attack Viscount Babila again." ”

"According to my guess, Viscount Babila, after losing Shibei Town, will definitely strengthen the defensive support of his subordinates to control the territory, which will increase the cost of our attack. It is better to take the opportunity of victory to condense the military forces on the southwest border, so that in the follow-up campaign, we can reduce the consumption of our basic troops. ”

Thorpes's words were tactful.

The so-called basic strength is actually cannon fodder.

Thorpes's idea was simple, to take soldiers from other territories on the southwestern frontier to the front, the soldiers of White Bear Town.

The forward has consumed some of the enemy's forces, and it will be much easier for the Chinese army to attack again.

"You've thought about it for a long time?"

Seeing Thorpes's answer so fluently, Willy knew that he had already figured it out.

However, for Thorpes, who said this thought, Willy suddenly had a strange feeling.

You must know that Thorpes was an extremely honest and kind person at the beginning.

And now, he has a shrewd egoism in his thoughts.

"As the captain of the pro-military department of White Bear Town, of course, I always have a reserve of opinions for Lord Baron. ”

Thorpes shrugged his shoulders and said with a hint of jokingness in his tone, "But looking at your expression, it seems that you are a little skeptical of my thoughts?"

"Not a suspicion. ”

Willy waved his hand: "It's just that I didn't expect my dear and upright big brother to become so shrewd." ”

Thorpes laughed when he heard this, he knew that Willy was joking with himself: "I'm not shrewd, I just think that if we give the other Southwest Frontier Territories a stable environment, they will have to pay a price." Otherwise, we will only play the role of a simple good person, which is irresponsible to the people of White Bear Town. ”

"You're right. ”

Willy retracted the smile on his face: "In that case, let's promote the union of forces on the southwest border." You do it, and let Sandor assist. ”

"Good. ”

Thorpes nodded: "This time, by the way, the garrison agreement will be finalized and added to the terms of our joint statement." ”

The so-called garrison agreement means that the soldiers of White Bear Town can be stationed in any territory within the southwestern border.

In the process of garrisoning, the territory of the subordinate province not only cannot drive away the soldiers of White Bear Town, but must provide support for food, weapons, and other resources.

It can be said that this is a rather unequal overlord clause.

However, due to the deterrent power of White Bear Town, no one can get rid of it and resist.
