Chapter 457

Soon after, under the personal supervision of Lopez's new king, Phil Lopez, an army of 300,000 gathered on the banks of the Chenhe River, intending to storm the fortress of Morun in the near future.

This decision was the result of Phil's consultation with several ministers, because compared to the Baria Pass, the construction time of the Moren Pass was somewhat short, and the difficulty of conquering it was much easier than the Baria Pass, which had been reinforced again in the last two years.

And the pressure on the enemy is much more terrifying.

In desperation, Roland and the others had no choice but to transfer the Heroic Sword Legion out of the Baria Pass to the Morun Fortress, and handed over the guarding of the pass to the Eight Thousand Reserve Legion of the Heroic Sword and the five thousand White Sword Provincial Garrison.

At the same time, the number of reinforcements sent by several other provinces such as Hierro Province is also very limited, because the army brought by Phil still has 50,000 elites missing, and this army is also a very huge threat to the north.

The many knights and army generals in the north were now divided into two factions, on the one hand, conservatives who advocated defending the city fortress against the enemy's attack, and on the other hand, the radicals who advocated taking the initiative to attack and arrange troops with the enemy on the banks of the Chenhe River.

On the surface, these radicals are simply in their heads, because the garrison of the fortress of Morun is now only 100,000, and it is simply self-defeating to fight an enemy three times their size head-on.

But the person who made this suggestion was the deputy commander of the Heroic Sword, Siegfried, and everyone had to listen carefully to what his idea was.

And Jason is not there, and it is not good for them to do dictatorial things, otherwise it will be a blow to the unity of the army.

So on this day, Lancelot and Roland gathered most of the military leaders of the four northern provinces at the fortress of Morun to resolve their differences.

In fact, even if Lancelot and Roland were very forceful in rejecting Siegfried's proposal, they could do it, although the military is now divided into two factions on this matter, but the conservatives still have the absolute upper hand in terms of numbers and status.

More than forty high-ranking people in the north put away their arrogance in the fortress of Morun, and sat in their positions in a low-key manner under the guidance of the guards, trying not to make too much noise, because at this time the two giants of the military were sitting on the other side of this long table.

After everyone was seated, Roland glanced at Siegfei, who had a somewhat solemn face, and was the first to speak: "Since everyone has arrived, Siegfeild, tell me what you think." โ€

After all, it was his own subordinate, and Roland felt that he needed to speak first.

Siegfried nodded, then stood up, glanced at the generals who were a little restrained in the face of Roland and Lancelot before speaking: "The reason why I made this suggestion is because this war is completely different from the last time, although the last time the third heavy armor legion of the kingdom was menacing, but the logistics and war equipment were prepared in a hurry, and it did not cause us much trouble, but this time it was different, Phil ยท Lopez personally supervised the war, although it took more than a month to go to the northern battlefield, but since the end of the last war, the kingdom's two years of tax revenue have basically been used on the army, which means that these participating armies have been in a state of readiness for the past two years. โ€

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, and then continued: "And although we have not left behind in military training in the past two years, we are more in expanding the army and training new recruits, and the gap is very obvious compared with these veteran regiments that have been in the army for many years. โ€

"General Siegfried, please wait a minute, I have a question. โ€

Siegfried's speech was interrupted by a young general, named Latis, a gifted native general who had been unearthed by Ranmarok in the ranks of the army in the province of Hierro.

Born as a civilian, he is currently the commander of the 5,000 Rangers in Hierro Province, and he is also a young and promising representative, and he also has a small part of the voice in the northern military.

In fact, at the moment of standing up, Latis's heart was very worried, but just now he received a low signal from Ranmarok that he had to be this bird.

As everyone knows, Ranmarok wants to push him and give him the opportunity to show his face in front of Lancelot and Roland, the two northern military giants, which will be of great benefit to his future development.

After all, the development prospects of the army in Hierro Province are limited, and they are not as high as the two main battle legions formed by Jason himself.

"Excuse me. Siegfried was not annoyed by the interruption of his words, but nodded very calmly in reply.

This made Latisse breathe a long sigh of relief, and then he spoke: "If, according to what the general said, the gap between the enemy and us is so huge, wouldn't our chances of taking the initiative to attack be even smaller?"

"So you should listen to me before you get up and ask your own questions. Siegfried replied with a smile, and gave Ranmarlock a meaningful look.

But what is the result today, this young man has already left an impression in the hearts of these military bigwigs, but this impression may only be a reckless summary.

But regardless of the impression, it is better than no impression at all.

And Roland and Lancelot, who are not powerful people, how could they not notice Ranmaroke's small movements, and after a little thought, you can guess what he means.

"Right...... I'm sorry, it's me Meng Lang. Latisse sat back very embarrassed, but he didn't expect Ranmaroke to poke him and show him a big smile, which suddenly made Latisse, who was originally a little resentful, feel a little crying and laughing.

Interrupted by Latis, Siegfried didn't intend to continue his tirade, he looked at Roland and the others calmly and firmly, and said: "So even if we defend the fortress and face a huge gap in strength, the wall we rely on will still be breached, but if we can hold the bridge and the riverbank of the Morning River, and attack them head-on when they cross the river, we will have a chance to defeat them." โ€

His gaze was deep: "Phil's army of 300,000 will never succeed in crossing the Morning River in an instant. โ€

"But the navy that is coming down the river from the province of Geralis has the ability to hold back most of our forces as they cross the river. Roland said solemnly.

Because the Third Heavy Armor Regiment broke through the naval blockade with a suicidal attack in the last war, after learning this lesson, the province of Zhelun spent a lot of money to build a new 7,000 naval army in the past two years.
