This night attack made people too angry...... Listening to the emotional quarrels of the people, the lords felt extremely troubled: the more they quarreled, the less favorable it was to reach a unified opinion - or, in the end, they were all united to the side of the war. If it really develops to that point, as the lord of the city, he will have to send troops to fight: a qualified lord can never ignore the opinion of the general.

"Watch your words, Odys!" Enraged by the quarrel, the captain glared at Odys and pointed at his nose and yelled, "It's not up to you to go to war!

"I'm talking to the city lord, what's the matter with you?" Odys snorted and glared back at Edus.

"I warn you—" Falling off his helmet, Eddes slammed to his feet. Before he could say another word, Mace, who couldn't bear it anymore, took a deep breath and roared loudly: "Enough!

After saying this, the atmosphere around them was freezing cold, and everyone fell silent and turned their eyes to the lord who stood up. After a moment to calm down, Mace spoke again, lowering his voice: "As a lord, I know very well how you want to go to war. The moment I got the letter, I thought the same as you did—but you didn't think about the benefits of a war with Icerock for the Children of Ice?"

Everyone was silent, just looking fixedly. Looking around, Mace said in a deep voice, "If you start a war rashly, the forces stationed in Eternal Winter will inevitably be weakened. Fighting with the Ice Rock People will only hurt both sides and cheapen the Black Ice Reaper. Guys, don't get carried away by emotion—"

"Okay, I understand!" Standing up suddenly, Odysse kicked over the chair: "You just don't want to fight, right?

Stopping Edus, who wanted to rush forward, Mace looked directly at the angry face: "Just send some troops to support the outpost and strengthen the defense." Of course, we will respond. Launching a small counterattack without a full-scale war-"

"Small scale? What are you talking about not going to war in an all-out way?! Don't talk to me about pacifists!" Interrupting the lord rudely, Odes slammed his fist on the table and shook the teaglass: "They killed more than 200 of us in a night attack!

"Calm me down!" Lowering his voice, Mace shook his robe and propped his hands on the table, "Listen, Odyss...... Don't think you're the only one who can feel resentment. As a leader, it's not just about how to get revenge. At a time when the entire existence of Eternal Winter City is at stake, it must not provoke even greater disputes. ”

"Don't reason with me as a lord!" clenched his left fist, Odes asked angrily, "I'll just ask you - will Eternal Winter City repay the revenge of this night attack?!"

"Of course. Looking directly into the round eyes, Mace said solemnly: "As for a large-scale attack, now is not the time. ”

"Oh, it's not the right time. Snorted, Odys's face was full of disdain: "Lao Tzu can't bear it for so long!

"Odys, don't think that my patience has no limits. Struggling to maintain exhausted patience, the lord frowned, "You can say I'm cowardly, I'm fine. But I have to warn you - recklessness and bravery are two different things, and they don't have anything to do with it. It's a good idea to think about who you are before you act aggressively. ”

Staring at Odys, who was on fire, the lord took a breath and cleared his throat: "You are the high-ranking legion leader of the old city, Odes...... After decades of working on this son, you can't be unaware of this, right? Think about it, how many soldiers' lives are lost for every rash order you give them?"

"I don't have to worry about you as a lord. Odysse was obviously angry: "Lao Tzu will not let those cowards who are greedy for life and afraid of death blend into the ranks - as long as I gather an army to attack the Ice Rock People, every soldier in it will be the Children of Ice who are eager for revenge!"

"I told you to calm down...... Let your mind cool down for a while, and then think about the disadvantages of rushing into the army. Feeling the tension in the air around him, the lord tried his best to suppress his desire to get angry: maybe he should really learn from the aristocratic system of the land of the warm sun. At the very least, it allows a thorny general like Odys to speak with his lord with respect.

"Lao Tzu is too lazy to care about any drawbacks!" Twisting his eyebrows into a ball, Odes spat on the ground: "To deal with those Bingyan people, you have to send troops to fight back and dismantle their Beihai lookout post!"

"No one can send troops without my orders. Saying this coldly, Mace was going to ask the guards to take Odyss, who had disturbed the venue, to the break room - he was already carried away by anger and needed to be calm and calm to think rationally. Of course, according to his character, he will never return to the conference hall.

"Then we'll see!" said a vicious remark, and Odysse turned around and strode towards the front door. Seeing that the two guards stepped forward to stop him with a hesitant face, Mace sighed: "Don't stop, the guards - open the door and let him go." ”

The guard in front of the door hurriedly opened the main door, opening up space for the man who was in a rage. Scolding and slamming out the door, Odysse strode away without looking back. Seeing that the two advisors he had brought with him stood up together and took their leave, Mace said, "You can stay here and attend the meeting, and persuade that guy when you go back." ”

"This bastard is so unbelievable!" Eddes exclaimed angrily, "shouting at the lord like that...... The good Ice Council let him mess it all up. ”

"Alright, leave him alone. Frowning, the lord sat back in his armchair: "The Council of Ice continues—Denor, send everyone here a map of the North Sea." ”

Deerno hurriedly responded, and Mali handed out the maps in turn. Just as the map was distributed and the tactical discussion began, Mace suddenly felt uncomfortable: for some reason, there was always a little panic.

The name popped into his mind, and Mace chuckled in his heart and felt a pang of chagrin: Damn, I really shouldn't have let him go alone!

"Edus. Lowering his voice, Mace leaned close to his ear and said eagerly: "You take Deerno, and immediately go to the central barracks to find Odes! ”

"Huh?" the corners of Edus's mouth twitched slightly, "This...... Unlikely. No matter how angry he is, he won't send troops without permission......"

"Do as I say, Edus. In an unquestioning tone, Mace looked firmly at the captain: "As soon as you find out that he is not in the barracks, send Deleno to inform me immediately." You rode straight to the north gate, and said that you would chase him back. ”
