In the castle of the Marquis of Jinshafeng, a large and small nobles or their agents gathered here.

What the Dragon Expedition did this time was so shocking that none of the nobles dared to act alone, and the Marquis couldn't help but feel a little tricky in the face of such a situation, which led to this meeting of the nobles.

"More than 1,300 troops of our army have lost their commanders, but they are all ordinary soldiers on the periphery, and most of the soldiers are still defending in various cities without much loss. ”

A senior commander was holding a report and reading the data to the various nobles.

"As for the Sky Church, after a few days of investigation, they have lost about 10,000 middle- and low-level officers, and this part of the army needs a considerable number of troops to take over, that is to say, they have 20,000 troops temporarily out of combat capability, and the defensive gap of 20,000 troops cannot be filled for the time being. ”

Hearing this, the nobles and their close allies glanced at each other, their eyes full of joy.

"These are just ordinary military aspects. The commander turned the page and opened the next piece of information with excitement on his face.

"According to the Marquis's secret troops, under the command of the Sky Church, Massag was killed, the boss Babanic was killed, and the Mist Pyrrhiz was seriously injured and retreated, that is to say, none of the three Sanctuaries sent by the Sky Church this time had the strength to fight!"

As soon as the news was released, the dozen or so nobles below immediately "buzzed" to discuss, and their faces were excited and shocked.

The reason why the Marquis of Jinshafeng and his vassals stuck within the city walls, in addition to the large number of church soldiers, the biggest factor was these three holy areas.

Generally speaking, in terms of the size of a marquis, there are usually two or three holy domains under his command, and there is often only one power of an earl, if you can support an additional holy domain, it means that the earl's territory has some cherished specialties, which has resources, and there is a need to supply an additional holy domain.

In the case of Jin Shafeng and his two earl vassals, they were able to make up five sanctuary.

However, among the five Sanctuary, three were the Marquis and the two Earls themselves, as a nobleman, how could they risk their lives?

Coupled with the fact that Babanic was invincible and famous, and was completely able to fight these two Sacred Domains alone, no one under the Marquis was willing to go out to fight against them.

"Ladies and gentlemen. One of the viscounts stood up, looked around, raised his glass and shouted, "Babanik has always been a great problem on our minds, and now that the thieves have been eliminated and the enemy army is in chaos, it is time for us to gather our army and defeat the Sky Church in one fell swoop." Only victory is the way to long-term stability. ”

An earl also stood up, nodded slightly and looked at everyone, and said, "This is true, although the Sky Church is in chaos for a while, its foundation is still there, and it is only a matter of time before the power of the army is restored. If we do not take advantage of this time to attack, we will surely fall into war again at the beginning of next spring. ”

This earl's territory happened to be adjacent to the Sky Church, so he was also the one who suffered the most losses, and at this time, he struck while the iron was hot, and wanted to encourage the rest of the nobles to send troops together to prevent future troubles.

Of course, the rest of the nobles saw the earl's careful thoughts, but the earl was right, and everyone fell into a whispered exchange.

After a while, the other earl also stood up and said to the marquis, who was sitting in the first place, "Marquis, Count Scotta is right. If we hadn't taken advantage of this opportunity to cut off the Sky Church's desire to attack in one fell swoop, we would still be in the same situation next year. ”

As soon as the Earl of Clarkson proposed, there was a crowd of people who immediately agreed.

The Marquis shook his head, waved his hand, pressed all the voices asking for battle, turned his head to look at the commander, and asked, "Does the reconnaissance department have any information about the sudden dragon expedition?"

The commander glanced down at the intelligence and said with some hesitation: "This... We only know that they have at least three Sacred Realm powerhouses, and the widely spread phrase of world peace, and we don't know anything about the rest. However, they seem to have spent some time in Viscount André's domain. ”

The Marquis glanced at André with some surprise.

Of course, this son remembered that, apart from Andrei's failed test, the Marquis was most impressed by his recent handover of the slaying of the Sky Thorn and the exploits of its leader, Brisco.

"Andrei, I don't know what impression you have of these people?" asked the Marquis gently.

"Of course, Lord Marquis. Andrei stood up.

"If no other sanctuary passes through my territory, the leader of this team should be Leo, the younger brother of the Dementor Witch. ”

As soon as Andre said this, the lobby was as silent as a grave.

"Is it the witch who can take people's souls and make others use them for her?" someone in the crowd finally couldn't help but speak.

"That's right, it's that woman, her brother still has the Marquis's token in his hand, and I know him well, so I can't be wrong. Andre affirmed.

Speaking of the word familiarity, Andrei's voice was slightly unnatural.

Most of the nobles present also knew about this "familiarization" process, and they all smiled lightly in their hearts.

That humiliating defeat cost André credibility and was the direct cause of his direct withdrawal from the race for the earl's candidacy.

The Marquis coughed and suppressed the strangeness underneath.

"In that case, I agree to send troops this time. The time of the battle will be agreed upon by the command. ”

The nobles nodded one after another, smiling happily, with the marquis taking the lead, this matter was only settled nine times out of ten, otherwise just with their scattered sand, not to mention the proportion of troops, troops, and battle plans, even a commander could not be selected.

However, a wave of opposition broke the joyful atmosphere of the aristocracy.

"I object, Lord Marquis. Andrei slapped the table, attracting the attention of the nobles.

"Why?" The Marquis heard Andrei's protest in a cacophony of voices, and once again suppressed the nobles' chatter, and asked Andrei.

Andrei propped his hands on the table, leaned forward, and said, "Don't you see the appeal of this group of adventurers? Their slogan is 'World Peace', and if we start the war again without permission, is it in line with their wishes for peace? ”

Andrei looked down at the nobles and asked again, "Do you think you have the strength to fight against someone who can defeat Babanic?"

Only then did the nobles calm their restless hearts and ponder the reaction of the dragon expedition.

After pondering for a while, a little nobleman retorted: "Even if they kill Babanic, it doesn't mean anything, right?" Maybe it's just because of the Holy Domain's ability to restrain and kill Babanic, I don't believe they don't have to pay the price, if we really let them relax, we will completely lose the opportunity to do it." ”

This statement is shared by most people.

Babanic's murderous name was deeply engraved in the hearts of the nobles around the Sky Church, and at this time, someone suddenly defeated this man who hung above their heads like a sword, and it was difficult for them to imagine how powerful this was, so they simply chose not to believe it, and used various ways to comfort themselves and weaken the strength of the Dragon Expedition.

Seeing that most of the people were obsessed, Andre couldn't help but shake his head and said: "Babanic defeated three counts in succession, when the strength was weak, you didn't dare to fight, and now that the Dragon Expedition has defeated Babanic, you look down on them instead, I really don't know what kind of thinking pattern you have." And Leo behaves like his sister, and if you anger him, most of you nobles won't be able to escape. ”

"If they really dare to make a move, Count Clarkson and I will dare to strike together and teach them an unforgettable lesson. Andrey, I think you're stupid by the name of the Dementor Witch, and we're not facing the Dementor Witch herself, we're just her brother. Skoada said disapprovingly.

"What if the Dementor Witch makes a move. Andrei coldly stated this possibility.

Over the years, Eliza has often acted in secret, only occasionally revealing a little rumor, and it is common for her to disappear for two years, so these nobles do not know that Eliza has disappeared. And calling Leo Eliza's younger brother was also an accident caused by Eliza's wayward request.

Seeing that the nobles were about to quarrel again, the marquis finally stood up.

"Well, Andrei, so do you, Count Skoda. ”

Count Scouta retracted with interest.

"Andre, you're really thoughtful, but I don't think things are going to get that bad. I remember that the Dementor Witch still owes me a favor, and if she really wants to make a move, then use it to get it, and a favor in exchange for ten years of peace, which is a good deal. ”

The nobles nodded their heads in praise of the marquis's profound righteousness. Anyway, it's not their own favor, if they don't pat themselves on the back, what else can they do?

André wanted to refute, but saw a vague look from the marquis.

"Alright, let's do it, that's all for this meeting, I'm going to have a dinner in the evening, everyone who is interested can come. ”

The meeting dispersed, and one of the attendants hurriedly caught up with André and shoved a note into his hand.

Andre quietly took the note and dared to open it carefully when he returned home.

"Hold still. ”

The Marquis was preparing for a counteroffensive with great fanfare, while the Church was preparing for the selection of non-commissioned officers and the merger of troops.

In the midst of all the scarcity, the new commander of the church held a battle meeting sweating profusely.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Church of Light is not happy with our situation, and this is seriously slowing down their progress. ”

In the center of the tent in the war hall, the battle map is densely packed with red lines of defeat.

The new commander had a headache at what was in front of him.

The church has been fighting on all sides over the years, and the talent pool is stretched, and after there was a major mistake here, there was not even a candidate, so he could only hurriedly promote a commander with outstanding achievements from the middle level, and the current situation was complicated and chaotic, where could he see through a small middle-level commander?

Although he couldn't see through the situation in front of him, the encirclement task issued by the top management was extremely clear, so the commander could only grasp this life-saving straw.

"We are in a very unfavorable situation right now, I expect the Marquis of Jinshafeng to organize a counterattack, we don't have many options, the only thing I can ask of everyone is. ”

"Fight to the death!"
