The castle meeting hall in the Dawn Capital was much larger than that of Neverwinter, and even if it sat a hundred or so people, it was not crowded at all.

Across the long table, the participants were divided into two distinct factions, on one side was the high-level leaders of the Gray Castle led by Roland, and on the other side were the nobles of Dawn and the representatives of the Chamber of Commerce. Compared with the former, who was calm and waiting for the meeting to begin, the latter was obviously a little restless, and many of them looked anxious, and from time to time they exchanged heads and ears, and the whispering of whispers was not interrupted.

Obviously, the appearance of the God-made God had a great impact on them.

If the spread of fear is not stopped, order in neighbouring countries could collapse at any moment.

Roland knew he had to stabilize his allies' confidence until then.

According to the Executive Office's report, trade between the two sides has reached new heights since Hofod became the new Lord of the Dawn, and nearly half of the raw materials and crude products of metals, such as iron, copper, and aluminum, that are now brought into Neverwinter come from neighboring countries. Leather, fabrics, cured meat, nǎi cheese and other daily necessities account for more than half.

Although he has also made many efforts in this regard, without the support of Chenxi, it is almost impossible for Wudong to maintain the steady growth of people's living standards despite the abnormal sudden increase in population.

With this alone, he couldn't simply abandon the Dawn Kingdom.

What's more, there is also the Quinn family, who behaved impecbly during the alliance, Roland doesn't know if there will be another supporter after Hofford Quinn, but there will basically be no more links like Andrea Quinn.

He quietly looked at each of the nobles on his left, and it was not until their whispers died down that he spoke, "Since the outbreak of the war, I have often heard about your contributions in reports, so I would like to say here that you have worked hard. ”

Everyone's faces couldn't help but show a look of surprise.

But for Roland, this is not a lie.

Obviously, the First Army alone could not make the north-south artery run so quickly, and the many carriages and porters running on the road played a vital role. In this era, when the aristocracy went on mostly in waves, and was accustomed to plundering instead of supplies, few people understood the significance of logistics and it was difficult to realize their contribution to the war.

"As for the battle of the Divine Will, I think everyone is well aware that, as I have repeatedly emphasized, the losing side will be completely wiped out, and there is no possibility of surrender, so there is no second way to go except to fight to the end. ”

"I've been preparing for this war four or five years ago, but the human kingdom isn't just the Grey Keep, it needs everyone alive to be involved in it, and only then can we win the battle of fate. I am glad to see that you have become part of the resistance. ”

Roland nodded at Barov, who flipped through a heavy notepad and read it aloud.

That's part of the First Army's logistical record, and the percentage of Dawn's contribution to it.

He didn't intend to persuade these nobles lyrically, and he didn't want to touch them in any way if he thought about it, he didn't want to touch them in any way.

The most straightforward thing is still the interests and pressures.

And the more accurate the description, the more convincing it is.

First of all, he wanted to make these nobles understand that they could make extremely important contributions to the war even without going to the front, and secondly, these exploits would be recorded in black and white, and they would be rewarded after the war. In the end, all the nobles who passively resisted or tried to betray humanity would be punished with the most severe punishment, and at this critical moment, Roland had no strength to let them choose.

Hofford secretly bowed his head to the side.

With clear priorities and detailed content, the King of the Grey Keep can be said to have grasped the point from the beginning. Drawing nobles who were not part of the military into an event that was bound to go down in history and be passed down for millennia would undoubtedly greatly increase their sense of participation. You must know that connecting family history with history is also one of the goals pursued by the aristocracy, not to mention that under the explanation of the other party, the risk and income do not seem to be very different, at least they will not be treated as outcasts.

The distribution of benefits is always a difficult problem to test the superiors.

Several of his retainers had suggested to him more than once that it was not necessary to do so to Roland Wimbledon's instructions, and that he should behave more like King Dawn, and he always laughed it off.

The king of the Grey Castle, who made artillery, biplanes, and steel ships, is certainly worthy of admiration, but that is not the whole reason why he values the other party so much, the real benefits obtained by the family are the root of his determination to be loyal In the trade between Dawn and the Grey Castle, the other party did not take advantage of the relationship between his strong strength and his daughter Andrea, on the contrary, every business was paid according to the actual situation, and sometimes even gave up a part of the profits, so that everyone involved in it could get a lot of benefits, which was more important than the strength itself.

Andrea must have seen this and suggested it to him.

The other son, Horn, is too far behind the two.

"Your Majesty, but the premise of all this you are talking about is that humanity can achieve the ultimate victory. When Barov finished speaking, someone got up and asked, "The question is whether the Grey Keep can really defeat the devil?" I heard......" he hesitated, "your army seems to have been defeated in the heart of the wolf." ”

"That's right...... We all know how powerful the First Army is," the other echoed worriedly, "but this floating land is terrifying...... Once it presses over, we won't even have time to escape. ”

Roland picked up the teacup and took a sip of black tea slowly, he knew that the results of the battle in the desperate mountains would spread sooner or later, after all, among the people who launched the follow-up search and rescue, there were also many wolf-hearted people who were familiar with the terrain. In this blocking battle, more than 1,000 soldiers lost contact with each other, not only the artillery unit, but also the reserve team responsible for receiving it.

The Air Knights lost more than forty planes in several days of high-intensity support battles, half of which were shot down by the enemy and half destroyed by mechanical failures and accidents, which is why Tilly had to suspend his operation.

Fortunately, although the Seagull was hit by divine will, both Wendy and Sawey were good at controlling the field, and Lightning and Maisie were always not far away, and they quickly rescued all the [M.] witches on the plane after a forced landing.

To be honest, Roland's heart was in his throat when he first saw these reports, and judging by the number of troops lost, this was already the most casualty battle. However, he also agreed with the staff's approach, Vakiris, who only knew the principle of the god-created god, but did not know the details of the symbiote on it, and if he did not fight, he would never be able to find out the details of the enemy.

"This failure is due to our lack of knowledge of the floating land," Roland replied frankly, "and it seems to be huge and unassailable, but it is not." Edith, it's up to you to explain it to you. ”

"Yes. The Northland Pearl pinned a detailed hand-drawn drawing of the god of creation to the wall and explained it in detail, "According to the observations of the First Army, it is roughly circular in shape, with a diameter of between fifty and sixty kilometers, which is about the size of a desperate mountain range. The upper part and the vertebral part can send shè giant stone spears, and the shè distance is at least fifteen kilometers or more. This was the key weapon that caught the First Army off guard, but it also meant that once it was out of this distance, it was just a floating island floating in the sky. We can use this to make a plan to contain our opponents......"

Fear always comes with the unknown.

People will be afraid of the experience of feeling xìng with hazy depictions, but they will not be afraid of a bunch of numbers. Rather than go to great lengths to cover up the defeat or deceive the crowd with empty rhetoric, it is better to make public the information that the First Army has paid a great deal for, so that the participants can dispel their fears from the level of reason.

“...... That's all the details of the Devil's Floating Land. Edith stroked Roland's chest.

Roland then looked at the Dawn nobleman who asked the question, "Finally, I would like to add that avoiding the range of the stone pillar is only temporary, and completely destroying this fortress floating in the sky is the ultimate goal of the army. ”

The nobleman swallowed, "That's an upside-down mountain......"

"It's not that humans don't have such abilities, it's just that you haven't realized it yet, just like before the plane was built, no one thought they could fly like a bird in the blue sky......" Roland smiled, "I'll let you see for yourself." ”
