Sir Rand was at work in the castle, and he was the first to arrive, and Gray pointed to the sofa and told him to sit on it, etc., and Catia and Leah had already prepared all kinds of refreshments and drinks, which the nobles always liked to enjoy when they talked about things. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Rena and Luck were the furthest away, they were in the barracks, and it had been almost an hour since the time they had arrived.

Wren, as the person in charge of Gray's intelligence this time, also attended the meeting.

After everyone arrived, Gray walked to the main seat under the reminder of Wren's butler, he first glanced at the few people present, and then asked Wren to tell everyone the information he had obtained from the mercenaries.

It was the first time Wren had attended such a meeting, and it was obvious that he was nervous, but everyone present was attracted by his intelligence content and did not care about his many faux pas.

When everyone listened to Wren's information, Sir Rand and Sir Wright were the first to speak, and the two old men quickly thought of the key to this, which was similar to Gray's conjecture.

Rena put forward a different opinion, "This is an opportunity, we might as well do what the other party thinks, and first withdraw the army to destroy the rebels in the territory! Let Viscount Marne and Viscount Keith fight first, and we can attack again when they are defeated!"

"But the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and if Viscount Keith can win in a short period of time, while our army is still in the quagmire of destroying the rebels in the territory, it will make us very passive!" "Ruken is also wearing a knight's armor today, not because he is stupid, but because he is smart enough.

"Then don't let our army be pinned down by enemy forces!"

Rena was about to take a sip of black tea, but when she heard Suer's words, she immediately put down the teacup and put forward her opinion.

Sir Rand is quite experienced in warfare, "That's difficult, unless those rebels are stupid, otherwise they will do everything they can to slow us down!"

"Then we can't let our army come into contact with the enemy, we can feign withdrawing from the battle line, and then hide from the sidelines and watch the action!" Rena's thoughts grew clearer as she was reminded by Ruken and Sir Lanter.

Sir Rand was stunned at Rena's words, staring down at the tea in his teacup, smelling the tea, and pondering the feasibility of the plan, while Ruken stood silent.

Sir Wright glanced at everyone and saw that something was wrong, and several of the people present were surrounded by Rena, and he suppressed his old smile, "I want to remind you that if we don't stop that group of rebels in time, the losses to our territory will be extremely great, and it will take two to three years to recover." ”

Sir Wright looked at Gray again: "Lord Baron, I have to remind you, maybe in just a few days, Baron Mura and they will arrive, if there is turmoil in the territory at that time, it may have a bad impact on this cooperation!"

Gray was stunned, he really forgot about it, mainly because there were too many things here for two days, which was a troublesome thing.

Gray's eyebrows furrowed, he thought for a while and said: "We can ask His Excellency Thor from Mida Town to help, he has five hundred cavalry there, and there is nothing important in Mida Town now, the five hundred cavalry let him be seconded to us first, this should not be a big problem, but we have to bear the food and grass materials of the cavalry, are our food and grass supplies sufficient?"

"It doesn't matter if it's short-lived!" replied Sir Randt at once.

Gray lowered his head, looked at the steaming tea in the cup, and thought about things, and the others saw Gray like this, and they all closed their mouths for fear of disturbing his thinking, and quietly waited for Gray to make a decision.

After a few minutes, Gray looked up, glanced at everyone, and said, "I have decided to draw five squadrons from the barracks, and then add five squadrons of cavalry borrowed from Lord Suo, a total of 1,000 soldiers to form a blockade line to block the rebels to the southwest of our territory!"

"Don't you need to exterminate?" Sir Wright frowned, and the maester Mick next to him seemed dissatisfied with such a decision, but after all, he didn't know anything about fighting, so he didn't speak.

Gray looked at Sir Wright and said, "I think I already know what I mean!"

"Lord Baron, I have to warn you that the southwest of our realm is our main source of tax revenue, and if you decide so, we will have a very difficult time in the next year!" continued Sir Wright's persuasion.

Rena thought for a while and said: "Lord Baron, in fact, we don't need to be in such a hurry, even if Viscount Case can defeat Viscount Marne in a short period of time, Viscount Caith's army will be damaged by half, and they don't dare to expand the battle line, as long as we can solve the rebels in the southwest region within half a month, and then arrange the defense line in turn, we will not have any losses!"

"Yes, Lord Baron, give me another year, and I promise that our territory will be turned upside down, and with the support of the Earl of Lockton, it will be easy to defeat Viscount Keith!" Sir Wright's eyes lit up.

Reena could see from Sir Wright's expression that Gray would suffer a lot of damage if she gave up the land for the time being, and she regretted the suggestion she had just made, so she suggested a more secure approach.

Gray shook his head secretly, in a year, the Earl's two thousand soldiers had already evacuated, and they saw this matter too simply.

Whether he has the right to marry Miss Nesha or not, this battle is the key.

Truth be told, Gray is still inclined to choose the second cautious approach from the bottom of his heart, but there are things that you can't do the way you want, you have to keep up, and if you can't, you'll be eliminated.

If you want to really do something, you must know how to give and give.

There were some words and things that Gray couldn't share with his subordinates, and he glanced at everyone present: "This is an opportunity, a necessary sacrifice, for a greater victory!"

Gray stood up and walked slowly to the window, where the breeze was soothing in the sweltering heat.

Now that he has made up his mind, Gray stopped talking nonsense, he looked at the town in the distance and said, "Rena, you are responsible for commanding the troops to blockade the rebels in the southwest of the territory, and the defense of Fort Gesen!"

This is a military order, Rena did not hesitate, quickly stood up and stared at Gray's back and bowed, "Yes!

"Sir Rand, Knight Ruken will follow me to the front!"

"Yes, Lord Baron!"

Sir Randt was noticeably half a beat slower to react.

Gray turned his head, he looked at Rena: "Knight Rena, after I leave, the castle will be handed over to you, don't let me down!"

Rena solemnly gave a knightly salute, "Don't worry, Lord Baron!"

"Sir Rand and Maester Mick will help you!"

Although this sentence was said to Rena, Gray looked at Sir Rand and Maester Mick, and the two immediately said, "Don't worry, Lord Baron!"

Sir Rand knew that Grey's determination had been made, and to raise any objection now would be tantamount to questioning his lord, and he was not so stupid.

Gray nodded, walked to the safe next to his desk, and took out a bag with a crisp sound that reminded everyone of a pile of golden scenes.

This is a small part of the bag of gold coins that Gray gave him in Mida Town, Thor!

"There are fifty gold coins here, and there are some things that mercenaries can do better than we do!" Gray handed the money to Rena, authorizing her to hire some mercenaries as appropriate.

"Everyone, victory will be ours in the end!" Gray's tone was unprecedentedly firm.
