"Now that Yuss has formed an alliance with the Holy See, then sooner or later we will have to fight Yus, if the defenders of Capra Pass remain there, then we will be caught in a situation where we are flanked by the enemy on both sides, it is better to prepare as soon as possible, take over Capra Pass and relieve our worries in the northwest. ”

Stanny stepped up in support of Xavi, but he had a different angle.

"I've considered this, as long as we build a fortress at the mouth of the canyon between the ancient city of Aogu that connects Iron Pine Town, we can stop the Capra Pass guards. As long as they hold out for more than three months, the defenders of Capra Pass will fall into famine, and when the time comes, they will collapse without a fight, and they will have to be slaughtered by us. ”

Steven retorted.

"Since you're going to guard the checkpoint anyway, why don't you just guard the Kapra pass?"

Miranda asked for Stanny.

"I've had people calculate that the fortress guarding the mouth of the canyon only needs fifteen thousand men and horses, which is half less than the Capra Pass. ”

Steven was clearly prepared, and the data he came up with was not controversial. Listening to his words, everyone was relatively silent, but just when everyone thought that Steven had won the argument, Harvey suddenly slapped the table and stood up:

"Uncle Alan, I ask to lead fifteen thousand nomads to guard Capra Pass. ”

"I'd like to be stationed with Xavi at Capra. ”

As soon as Harvey's words fell, Stanny also stood up with him, willing to advance and retreat with Harvey.

As soon as the two of them said this, everyone turned their eyes to Allen, who had not spoken, and waited for him to make a final decision, but Allen turned his eyes to Harvey:

"Capra Pass is a big city, and if you only use fifteen thousand men to defend it, the orc army will be in danger, do you know the risks of doing so?"

Alan asked in a serious tone.

"I know. However, I believe that the courage and blood of our Youth League can make up for the gap in numbers, and we are not afraid of sacrifice for the safety of the city-state and the honor of the Gosa. ”

Harvey looked at Alan, and a pair of blue eyes released a determined light:

"Uncle Allen, you once said that you would take the nomads back to the grassland, and if we can't even defend a checkpoint, how can we talk about counterattacking the grassland?"

"Sister-in-law, do you have any objections?"

After receiving an affirmative answer from Harvey, Alan turned his gaze back to Isa, who had been sitting on the sidelines and had not spoken. Letting the Youth League garrison Capra Pass, he still felt that the risk was a bit high, but Harvey had already said it to this extent, and if he directly dismissed it, it would be very discouraged by Harvey, so he hoped that Isha could help find a reason to refuse.

"I support Xavi. If we choose to set up another checkpoint at the mouth of the canyon, the area such as Tiesong Town in the northwest of the canyon will be directly exposed to the iron hooves of the orcs, although we can emigrate, but how can the residents who have lived in this area for hundreds of years be willing to leave their homes?"

To Allen's surprise, instead of helping herself, Isha found a good reason for Harvey.

"Okay. ”

After hesitating for a long time, Alan finally made up his mind, he stood up and solemnly announced:

"I decided: the Youth League will take over the defense of Capra Pass, but fifteen thousand people are definitely not enough, at least the army must be expanded to 20,000, as for the supply problem, please come forward to speak with the envoy of Yuster on behalf of the city-state, since they want us to guard the border city for them, there must be no conditions, Kevin had better slaughter them fiercely. In addition, a team of magicians should be formed within the Youth League, and students who graduated from the Magic High School will be given priority to be added to the Youth League. ”

Now that Alan had decided, Steven, Kevin, and Bloom had no more objections, and everyone discussed the specific implementation measures for a while before adjourning.

As soon as the meeting ended, Allen arranged for Kevin to negotiate with Steven and Yus on the terms of taking over Capra, and on the other hand, he personally went to Iron Pine Town, where he wanted to cheer up his soldiers as the commander of the regiment. However, he found that the Youth League did not need any mobilization at all, and as soon as he heard that he had to shoulder the heavy responsibility of guarding the Capra Pass against the orcs, the morale of every officer and soldier was high. In Harvey's words: "You don't need to mobilize to fight the orcs. Everyone has long held their breath and wants to use practical actions to tell the entire continent how the honor of the Gossars was lost back then, and how to get it back today. ”

After spending two days in Iron Pine with the soldiers of the Cadet Corps, Alan went to the forge again before leaving. Since using the magic array designed for them by Allen, the efficiency of the entire forge has increased tenfold, and now almost all the forging work of the entire city-state is completed here, and it is still the son of Master Thorne who presides over the forging work. Alan only stayed at the forge for a short time before leaving, but instead of returning to town, he continued his journey into the mountains, accompanied by Thor. After walking nearly ten miles, they came to a remote valley, outside which there was a special guard in charge of guards, and Eren was able to enter only by revealing his identity.

Outside the valley, Alan and the others had already heard a loud "clang" sound coming from inside the valley from a distance, the density of the sound was not as large as the forges outside, it took a long time, but each time it made the whole valley shake.

This is also a forge, but it is not an ordinary forge, but a super forge, the magic array it uses to forge is even larger, each forging hammer weighs more than 10,000 pounds, and the weapons used for forging are not ordinary steel weapons, but blades doped with precious metals, and even artifacts doped with celestial star sand.

In the middle of the valley stood a huge furnace, the furnace chamber was different from ordinary furnaces, not metal materials but huge bones, on these bones were inlaid with some red magic crystals, the crystals were surrounded by strange magical runes, it was clear that this furnace was not heated by fuel, but by magic, it heated faster and hotter, and even the flame in the heart of the furnace was different in color, it was blue.

In addition to Master Thorne, there are several other dwarves who do nothing else every day, but circle around the blast furnace and forge magic arrays. When Eren arrived, they were carefully pouring a pot of purple solution into a long mold and placing him underneath the forging magic circle before the sword blank cooled down. In addition to the strength required, forging is also a technical work, and several dwarves take turns to be in charge of forging, day and night.

Although Allen's arrival surprised Master Thorne, but Master Thorne did not have time to receive him, it was now a critical period for the forging of the first Celestial Star Sword, but seeing the dwarves so conscientious, Allen's heart was also at ease, he only made a short stay on the scene, and left a lot of wine for the dwarves before going down the mountain.

After descending the mountain, Eren did not stop at Iron Pine Town, but returned directly to the ancient city of Ao in the flying magic array. When he jumped out of the magic circle in front of the castle gate, Kevin was already waiting for him.

"The conditions have been negotiated?"

Alan asked as he walked inside the castle.

"It's negotiated. Originally, Sanders was still a little hesitant, after all, it was a million pounds of grain a year. However, at Reinhardt's instigation, he agreed to all our conditions. ”

"Oh, why would Reinhardt want to help us?"

"I was a little weird at first. But yesterday he took the initiative to talk to me again, and it dawned on me. ”

"What did he talk to you about?"

He was willing to use the Reinhardt family's resources to ensure that Yus's food was in place, but he made one condition. ”

"On what terms?"

"He asked us to propose to Yuss that his stay in the ancient city of Ogu must be made a necessary condition for the agreement between the two parties. ”

"What does he want to do?"

"I speculate he's betting. Now the Yuss Empire is still the Yuss family on the surface, but in fact, half of the country has been taken over by the Phelps family, in this case, the Reinhardt family, as one of the three major Yuss families, will have a very difficult time in the future, and the family power will inevitably be suppressed. However, the current situation of Yus is not stable, on the one hand, the eldest prince is still on the run, and on the other hand, we are on the run. Reinhardt chose to stay in the ancient city and offered to help us, and I think he was betting on us. ”
