Chapter 443: War Breaks Out (5)
After a few days in a row, the Maple Leaf Manor was no longer disturbed by the war on the border of Carouston City, the battle on the border of Carouston City has been stalemate, and the attack of the Junn Empire has begun to ease a little, more than half of the catapults have retreated from the front-line battlefield, and the continuous attack has caused serious wear and tear on some of the main parts of these catapults, and they have to leave for the craftsmen to maintain and repair.
In the depths of the Jun'en Empire's position, the prince England looked at the fierce quarrel of a group of people in the camp with a displeased expression.
From being attacked by the Arissanite Empire to the present, the Junn Empire has not been able to get the advantage of war, even if the number and quality of the Junn Empire's catapults are higher than that of the Arissanite Empire, but with the border wall on its back, this line of defense is not easy to overcome, and the number and strength of the magicians of the Arissanite Empire are not much weaker than the Junen Empire. All that can be done now is to constantly use catapults to launch long-range attacks on the border walls. Without consuming a large amount of the mana of all the casters of the opponent, it is too difficult to launch a siege, and it will cause a large number of casualties, which is the same for both the Junn Empire and the Arissanret Empire. The Arissanite Empire also did not attempt to break through the walls and attack Jun's catapult camp.
The attack of the past ten days has made England a little anxious, and he knows that if he can't get the advantage of the war any further, his father and the group of members of Congress will let Quinn's forces participate in this war, and this is the last thing England and Durrell want to see.
"The wear and tear of the catapults is very serious, and now more than half of the catapults are being repaired, and we have far from enough craftsmen on our hands, and it will take at least a week to repair them with the current craftsmen alone. We need to send a request for reinforcements from the Empire to send more craftsmen and catapults. A logistics officer gave his advice.
England looked at him irritably, his expression gloomy. The quartermaster had mentioned the attrition of the catapult to himself and Durrell many times, but if they were to offer reinforcements to the Empire now, they would be giving the opportunity directly to Quinn's forces, just enough to allow them to participate directly in the war, which was the last thing England and Durrell wanted to see.
They all know very well that what Quinn's forces lack now is military merit, and with the fact that they have nearly half of their forces in Congress, if they get more outstanding military feats, their power in the Jun'en Empire will be as stable as a rock, and it will be difficult for them to resist Quinn's forces anymore.
England looked at Durrell and hoped he could give some advice.
Durell sighed secretly in his heart, looked at England Mu and said slowly: "His Royal Highness the Prince of England, retreat to Jun'en's border defense area and wait for reinforcements from the Empire." If we continue to do so, we will just uselessly consume the reserve of offensive materials, and when the reinforcements of the empire arrive, we will reorganize and attack again, and we will have more chances of winning. ”
Several other knight generals and mage representatives also expressed their support for Durrell's suggestion one by one.
England gave the order to withdraw, and the attack of the Junen Empire finally stopped temporarily, and the army withdrew from the attack range of both sides in an orderly manner, and finally all retreated to the border of the Junen Empire.
In the Arissanret Empire, in the Imperial City of Durogar, in a small conference room.
King Fred Christian sat calmly on the throne, listening to the conversation of several people, without much change in expression on his face, just listening attentively.
Listening is one of the most important skills that a king must have, and only by being able to listen can he get information and make some of the most important decisions.
"It's stupid. Sosa's tone was very unkind, her face was very ugly now, she was urgently summoned to the Imperial City of Durogar to participate in this secret meeting, only then did she know that the empire was actually considering making a move on Li Xuan of Maple Leaf Manor.
The initiators of this stupid act are the three dukes who are now on the border of the city of Carroston.
"I don't approve of this. Prescott, the protector mage, slowly said his attitude, and looked at the gray-robed high-level great magician Cerlo with burning eyes, he knew very well that if he wanted to deal with a magician whose strength was not inferior to him, or even surpassed him, if there was no perfect preparation, and there was any mistake and failed, then the revenge he would face next would be so serious.
Prescott's words surprised the others, who had never seen Prescott express his position so clearly on any matter, and his words even attracted the attention of King Fred Christian.
There was a whispered discussion in the hall, but obviously there were not many people who supported Sosa and Prescott, after all, Li Xuan of Maple Leaf Manor had made it very clear that he would not participate in this war, which made many people in the Magic Guild very full, and even some high-level magicians had some complaints about Prescott's handling at that time.
Prescott's expression fell silent after he finished his suggestion, and he stopped participating in their conversation.
Several key members of the Congress focused their questions on the attention of the ten Junen Empire magicians in Maple Leaf Manor, and Bobilis Lot's name was mentioned many times.
The Rhodes family of the Junen Empire and the councilors of the Arissanret Empire are no strangers, after all, during the previous diplomatic visit of the Junen Empire, the fact that the patriarch of the Rhodes family almost died in the imperial city of Durogar is also one of the important reasons for the Junen Empire to start a war.
The wind in the hall began to turn to the question of how to better deal with Li Xuan of Maple Leaf Manor, and after Sosa repeatedly hinted that Prescott had no effect, he finally stood up and saluted the king Fred Christian of the main throne, and then looked around the group of people in the hall with a solemn face.
"This would be the stupidest decision of the Arissanrite Empire! If you all want to kill that Maple Leaf Manor's Li Xuan Magician. Maybe you should get a good idea of how powerful he really is, instead of arguing here about what methods to use and which magicians can get involved. Sosa's words were very unkind.
"You should find another group of magicians and scholars who were in the Underworld at the time, and saw him subduing one terrifying embroidered dragon after another that you could never imagine, and listen to their opinions. What you are doing now is like a swarm of weak ants, discussing how to kill a Behemoth!"
"You know, now by his side, there are two terrifying sorcerers in the underground world, any of these two sorcerers have no weaker terrifying power than Prescott's protector mage, and these two powerful sorcerers are both following Li Xuan mages in Maple Leaf Manor, if you decide to do it, then prepare for the worst first." Sosa's eyes were cold, and his expression was unusually serious.
Sosa soon regretted what she had said.
Because of her words, she quickly attracted new attention, two sorcerers of the underworld, and one of them was a powerful underworld lord.
Eventually, Cerlo's suggestion was approved by the vast majority of people, including the support of another protector, Silis. And Prescott just looked at them calmly, not saying anything.
