Fide and Satnam had already noticed that the saint who was supposed to be on an equal footing with the regent Xiumo was not here. If all the military and political power was in the hands of Xiumo, could it be that Golia was only in charge of religious beliefs? Then why did she meet with the two of them before? At this time, the regent suddenly mentioned the holy daughter Golia, which made the faces of many of the great nobles show a stunned expression, and they all stared at Xiumo to make sure that what the other party said was related to Golia.

"Here, I must apologize to all of you," Xiumo suddenly bowed his head and bowed to all the attendees, "I have been waiting for you to arrive because of my lack of ability, so it is better to say that this is the second plan than to put all our forces on the defense of the capital now." ”

Makilov's eyes narrowed, "What do you mean?"

"Actually, in addition to you, there have already been many noble lords and mercenary groups who have come to Doret City one after another, and they have expressed their willingness to advance and retreat together with His Majesty Manfret," Xiu Mo said this, and secretly swept the more than ten people in front of him with his afterglow, "But according to our intelligence, many of these people are from the Eastern Oguna Empire, and they are just waiting for the opportunity to overthrow our defenses in one fell swoop." ”

The seven nobles exchanged a glance with each other, and even Xiumo's younger brother, Montrees, looked at his brother.

"So those people don't know we're here?" asked Earl Barton.

"That's right, they're still attending another meeting chaired by Saint Golia, and according to Saint Maiden's instructions, if our side can work together, she will have the confidence to lead those people to the front line and defeat the invading army outside the Righteous King City!"

Most of the people showed surprised expressions, and Fei De realized that the regent and the saint actually had two hands, and today's secret defense council was the second hand.

"The second plan is for everyone but our soldiers to put themselves on the defensive line south of the city and try to make contact with the enemy in that place," Xiumo looked at all the puzzled eyes and explained slowly, "This plan only requires the team of Saint Golia and those who hide betrayers. ”

Count Debaro couldn't help but immediately ask, "So from before the meeting just started, you had planned to leave our men near the capital to defend?"

Xiu Mo shook his head, "No, if we decide to focus on Yiwang City, then we will press on all fronts with other troops, but those of theirs will be the vanguard. ”

Fidel calculated that even if the weak wavers could not provide much, at least there would be tens of thousands of soldiers. Of course, there is no way to compare this strength with these big nobles on the scene, but if it is just to send them to death

"But now that we are ready to defend the city of Doret together, we need not have any worries, and the rest is left to the Holy Maiden, and if her plan fails, then we can wait for the invading army in the defensive circle of the capital. With that, Xiumo waved his hand and let Lixson leave first. The teenage boy nodded immediately and left the room.

At the same time, in the inner city of Doret City, a group of people was holding a meeting. Looking from the direction of the gate, it is clear that another "regent" is sitting in the side seat, and the Virgin Golia is sitting in the center.

The rest of the attendees were all nobles from the city, as well as nobles and lords from other places, as well as some mercenary leaders who intended to serve the St. Oguna Empire.

I saw that the regent who was sitting next to St. Golia did not say a word, and his appearance was exactly the same as that of Xiu Mo in the council hall in a certain building in an alley in the city, just like twin brothers. But one of the two who dressed exactly the same and looked the same must be a fake.

"Holy Maiden, we've been discussing for so long! we still haven't decided where to set up a defensive line!" shouted a mercenary regiment leader, and some squadron leaders around him were also talking about it, not at all as serious as a defense meeting. In addition to the constant loud discussions among the regimental commanders, some nobles and lords began to fiddle with the long table of simulated maps, which also had many troop markers, but the number of soldiers of the Eastern Oguna Empire displayed on this table was only about 100,000.

Goliath was exactly the same as what Feder had encountered before, and she seemed more calm and calm, and she only smiled at the noise of the people under the seat, and did not mean to speak.

"It's been another day like this!!We've not been able to come up with any results at all!" a lord clasped his hands to his chest, repeatedly complaining about the futile arguments now, "the Holy Maiden and the Regent have been undecided, and the powerful ones have not yet arrived!

The other lords and nobles also complained, some of them had been here for a few days, some had just arrived, but it was clear from the expressions on their faces that none of them were impatient.

"Everyone!" a man in chain mail stood beside St. Golia, "If you are tired, you can go back and rest first, this defense meeting can continue tomorrow, we still have a lot of time." "Some nobles have long been dissatisfied with the old ministry of this regent, and each time they use this sentence to perfunctory them, but nothing has been done on the matter of defense.

The scene here is the polar opposite of the place where Fed's secret meeting was held, as if it were just a defense conference hall set up to hide people's eyes. After a while, Lixson appeared behind the man, "Uncle Glenn, our side has already taken fruit. ”

The eleven-year-old boy walked up behind Glenn, the old ministry of the regent, and he completely ignored what the Virgin Golia and the other regent had said.

"Well, this side can handle it. ”

"The meeting has passed the line," the boy Luxon whispered, holding out a small note with the results of the discussion at the location of the secret meeting there, and the number of troops that the great nobles were willing to send.

Glenn took one look at it and tightened the note and stuffed it into his trouser pocket, "Well, you go back first, and we'll follow the plan." With that, the old subordinate of Xiumo let the little boy exit the hall first, and then walked unhurriedly to the side of the holy woman Golia, and whispered the news that she had just received.

Gloria nodded, and Glenn shouted down the hall in understanding, "All attendees, please be quiet! ”

The little nobles and mercenary captains looked back at the Sage Golia, who had put away her smile, and they immediately returned to their places. The dozens of seats, which were already half empty, were immediately filled, and all of them fell silent, waiting for Saint Golia, who had not made any decision for many days, to speak.

Gloria, dressed in a white robe, slowly stood up, "After so many days of discussion, I think you have all come to some discussion results, but just now I received the latest news, our most important defensive stronghold, Yiwang City, has been surrounded, now we must rescue General Bonzina who is besieged there, and I have discussed with Lord Regent Xiumo, and decided to mobilize all the troops to Yiwang City, where we will fight to the death against the invading army!"

All the nobles and mercenary captains were stunned, they had already mentioned that they wanted to build a defense line in Yiwang City, but at that time, the army of the East Oguna Empire had not invaded so deeply, and now even Yiwang City was surrounded! Some of them also looked at the Regent sitting on the sidelines, and the Regent simply said, "That's right, we must rescue the Righteous King City." ”

At this moment one of the nobles shouted: "What about the great nobles of Montres and Makilov?!"

"yes! And Barton and Yotke!"

Glenn, a subordinate of Xiumo, immediately said: "The other lords are rushing to Doret City at full speed, knowing that the castle they are in also needs to be guarded, I believe they are almost there." The general named Glenn opened his eyes and told nonsense, but the people listening to him did not know that the great lords of the Theoguna Empire had already entered the city of Doret and were discussing other strategies not far away.

"But our combined strength is less than a quarter of the invading army!"

"If those marquis don't come here to defend the capital, even if they help Yiwang City break the siege, it's pointless!"

The mercenary captains and nobles expressed their displeasure, but if you look closely at them, you can see that some of them are deliberately causing trouble. Many of them had already arrived in the capital, but the nobles who had really had a heavy army were slow to show up. They believe that the reason why the regent and the holy woman have not made a decision is because the nobles are selfish, and even though the invading army has come to the city of Dorette, they are still hiding behind their territory.

Goliath said again: "Ladies and gentlemen, this time I will go with you to relieve the siege of the Righteous King City, please rest assured, I will do my best to defeat those invaders in the Righteous King City." As long as your subordinates follow closely with each captain, the victory will definitely go to us, to the Holy Oguna Empire!"
