"Tonight, I will take the initiative to attack the Berans, and I ask you to be ready to fight. ”

At a meeting of the nobles, Luo Ming suddenly gave an announcement.

It was not a consultation, but a notice, which made the nobles blow up.

It's not that they have any problem with Lockin's arbitrariness...... Well, there are really some opinions that I didn't say.

But as long as Luo Ming can still lead them to win battles and seek benefits, then they will also endure it, and after a long time, they will even say no, and their bodies will become honest and gradually get used to this.

After all, human nature is to be lazy and hardworking, if they don't think all the time, follow Luo Ming in everything, and can benefit again and again, I am afraid that many of them will give up thinking and become lambs who blindly follow.

But at this moment, it is different, fighting out of the city is completely different from defending the fortified city, and the probability of an accident is much higher.

And night battles are much more dangerous than those that take place during the day.

Although there are now nearly 4,000 soldiers in the city, which is almost the same as the number outside the city, almost 1,000 of them lack field experience, and the rest lack cooperation with each other to effectively form a joint force.

Not to mention the experience of night fighting.

And the Berans had already robbed the camp once in the middle of the night by Luo Ming before, and now they must be much more cautious, but they are afraid that the two or three hundred meters on the edge of the camp are sprinkled with scouts, staring at the eyes of rabbits one by one, enduring the pain of staying up all night, and vowing to catch any enemy who approaches.

It is easy to be spotted when you go out and attack like this, and once discovered, the patchwork army is likely to be crushed by the Beran army in a night battle.

Although most of the remnants of the defeated army will still be able to retreat to the city, this defeat itself will be enough to demoralize.

Originally, you could win by sticking to it, so why take this risk?

Although the nobles were in awe of Luo Ming, as long as they did not slander him or deliberately contradict him, then he would not be angry if he raised some objections, as long as he was justified and respectful.

Of course, they still have a bit of a shelf, so they don't talk like chickens and ducks in the vegetable market, and it is not difficult to hear all their opinions.

After a minute, the nobles had basically finished what they wanted to say, and then Luo Ming spoke: "Very well, I have a comprehensive understanding of your questions, then, please ask Your Excellency Mikhail to solve your doubts." ”

Mikhail, the original surname of the body of Ariana, inherited everything from the girl, and did not have to be separated from it, so it became her surname for the time being.

Anyway, this surname sounds ancient and noble, and it is also very intimidating to the old-fashioned nobles who have their heads full of bloodline theories.

Ariana walked in and unfolded a sketch of Vansheshire on the blackboard.

"As you may have known, this is a map of the county, and here—" she pinned a chess piece representing the castle to it, "the hill town of Cone, the old earl's residence. ”

Then she nailed a few pieces symbolizing catapults and armies to the castle: "We have just received a new piece of information from our captives that several barons have defected to the invading army of Belan, and that the Berans are going to use them as vanguards to break through the city of Conlem as soon as possible.

There is no doubt that this was a deep enmity with the Earl's family, and a harsh provocation to the royal power of Lothar, and they were forced to do such a thing, and there was no turning back, and the people of Belan could safely drive them. ”

Hearing this, some nobles cursed the surrenderers in a low voice, while others were worried about the increase in the number of enemies.

Ariana glanced at the reaction underneath and was very satisfied, but instead of showing joy, she continued with a serious expression: "Unfortunately, the Earl has not been able to fight back against the weapons of the Thunder Car, and although the mountain city of Conle is strong and dangerous, it is only a matter of time before it is breached. ”

Baron Duland, who had fled to Lockin for refuge, clenched his fists at this moment, but sighed faintly and let go of his hand.

"After the defeat of the city of Conle, the Beran army and the thousands of servant army will definitely go north, in a vain attempt to pull out the nail of the Iron Fire City, and then open the mountain road of the Carlo Mountain in one fell swoop.

Once the two armies are successfully combined, the pressure on the Iron Fire City will increase exponentially.

So before that, we must take the initiative to attack and first beat and wound the one that was sent to us, at least we must make them remember it and their morale plummeted. ”

This reason is very sufficient, but there is no lack of brains among the nobles, and someone directly said: "That, I suddenly thought, if we take the initiative to fill in the mountain road and inform the people of Belan, they should not be entangled anymore, right?"

Luo Ming expressed surprise at the innocence of this person, but did not show contempt on his face, but explained a little patiently: "First of all, many of our supplies are transported from the north through the mountain road, especially through this road we can purchase a part of the grain, which we cannot give up lightly.

Second, will the people of Beran believe that we have really filled in the mountain paths?

Even if we did, they believed it, but they had another solution, which was to beat us to the surrender and then use our manpower to dig the closed mountain road again.

In a hurry, we can't fill the mountain road so deadly, maybe it will take a few days to dig it up, do you think they will give up so easily?"

"Well, this is my lack of consideration. Although this nobleman is a bit brainy, he at least knows how to reflect modestly.

Another nobleman hesitated and said, "So what are we going to do?" I mean, although your army is well-trained, most of them are spearmen who need to form formations, and they can't move quickly at night, so the enemy has time to react and prepare for battle, right?"

"It took some strategy to get their attention and get my soldiers moving faster...... This battle is critical, and allow me to keep it a little secret. ”

Before they could come back to their senses and feel that they were not trusted, Luo Ming bluntly threw out an even more shocking news to divert their attention: "Actually, just today, Schönbrunn has its first Great Sword Master, so you can rest assured. ”

With that, Luo Ming quickly got up and left the table, and by the time the nobles recovered from their stunned thoughts, he and Arianna had already slipped away.

"What's the deal...... Damn it. ”

"But if there is a great sword master to help, it will really be much safer. ”

"How much stronger can the Great Sword Master who just broke through be stronger than the ordinary Sword Master? Besides, which of your Excellency broke through? It can't be fooling, right?"

Although they talked about it, it is undeniable that Luo Ming's insistence on honesty and trustworthiness, at least not to deceive his comrades and allies, still won him a certain amount of trust.
