Eventually, Gray did not see Craggs, he did not have time, and he finally said to Mrs. Lagley: "If you wish, you can stay in Harrensburg for a while, and my wife will arrange for you!"

When the Baroness got the answer he wanted, she did not bother Gray anymore and hurried out of the castle. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Immediately after she left, Gray began to discuss business with the two current principals of Birneburg.

Sir Korwin and Pedi agreed to Gray's battle plan and promised Gray that even if the orcs aimed their main attack on Balan, they would mobilize the entire Byan Territory to hold the line until a defensive line was formed in the rear.

But at the same time, Viscount Pedy needs Gray's promise that if he can defeat the orcs, the Byan Lords must return the Borg, and at the same time give them a minimum interest loan of 20,000 gold coins to finance the construction of their homeland.

Gray did not reject their proposal, and in his capacity as the military coordinator of the West, he ordered the principals of all the remaining territories in the Westside to rush to Fort Bienburg to sign the relevant agreement, hoping to make this matter as solid as possible and reassure the Borgs.

A few hours later, Gray's party was briefly repaired at Beenburg, and as he said, they departed that afternoon, and Sir Korwin and Viscount Pedi naturally led all the officials of the castle and carried them all the way to the gates.

"Perhaps," said Sir Korwin softly, "his plan will really succeed." ”

Pedi squinted at Kowen, then at the team that was gradually moving away, and said: "We must win this war, don't have a fluke mentality, sir, if you let the orcs gain a foothold in the south, then, their follow-up troops, will continue to come, my father explained, this battle, calculated that everyone in the Spelling Light Bian Territory must drive the orcs out!"

"But..."Sir Korwin's expression flickered when he heard this, "Lord Viscount, haven't you noticed? Now everyone is too optimistic, we don't even know how effective the orc warriors are, you know, the real orc warriors in history can easily defeat their human soldiers several times as much!"

After a pause, the old knight lowered his voice and said, "If the ancestors of the human race hadn't attacked back then, we wouldn't even have any hope of victory!"

"All right, Sir, I know what you're trying to say, but we don't have a choice!"

Pedi didn't want to hear any more, and he led the castle officials and began to walk back.

At the edge of the procession, young Craggs, led by his mother, silently watched Gray's procession leave, her mother's nagging ringing in her ears from time to time.

"Are you listening to me, little Gus, and when you get to Hallensburg in a while, you can't treat Viscount Cage like you used to, you have to call him Lord Viscount, understand?" said the Baroness.

"Mother, can I call him brother? I remember when my sister used to call him brother, he seemed very happy!" Craggs was now fifteen years old, and a nobleman of this age knew almost everything he should know.

At this age, the children of the nobles are even more naughty than the children of ordinary commoners, after all, their lives have been confined for more than ten years, and it is normal for them to want to rebel.

The Baroness obviously didn't know how to answer her son's question, she thought for a while and said, "If Viscount Cage wants, you can call him that, remember, only Viscount Cage agrees!"

After leaving Byan City, Gray ran along the coastline towards Seka City.

Along the way, he explored the specific terrain of the coastline on the spot, and on the other hand, he learned the details of the sea march to Manlun, a goblin who had just followed him out of Byan City.

Goblins who started with seafaring trade, as long as they have a little status, can be said to be half an expert in naval warfare or sea navigation.

Gray didn't think about learning naval warfare, it wasn't realistic at all, but he had to understand the basics.

The young viscount had seen the sea for the first time, but he seemed to have a memory of the sea in his memory, because he felt that the smell of the sea was very familiar, but this memory was very vague, and it felt unreal, as if it were an illusion.

He struggled to wake himself up from that hallucination, and he had more to do.

When scouting the terrain, Gray focused on exploring the edges where small groups could land, and sat down on the map he carried with him.

According to Goblin Manlun's intelligence, if the orc army really took the sailboat, then they could only log in in Balan City and Seka City.

Because of the large draft of such ships, it is basically impossible to land in the shallows, but it cannot be ruled out that they use small sailing boats to transport troops inland from several nautical miles away.

But Gray reckoned that the orc commanders would not be so stupid, because their forces were too large to be able to play a huge advantage only after they were deployed, so they would not land in the narrow field.

Fighting a war is not just about sending people ashore.

It is not so simple to coordinate and manage the military power of the entire western territory, such a big power will definitely attract the resentment of many people, they don't dare to mess around, but secretly play some cleverness, and Gray has no way to take them.

Archduke Duroney's court chancellor, Viscount Kerry Brill, was the first to question Gray, and when Gray's battle plan was put on his desk, Viscount Kerry wrote a letter to denounce Gray after only a rough look.

When Gray received the Prime Minister's letter, he ignored it and did not even reply to it.

Eventually, Viscount Kerry wrote to the Grand Duke complaining about Gray's current dictatorship in the West.

But Grand Duke De Looni obviously knew what he was like as a prime minister, and he understood that this Viscount Kerry was definitely a capable man in terms of management and coordination, but he was simply bullshit in military affairs, and he was a little self-righteous.

Therefore, the Grand Duke immediately wrote a letter to rebuke him as Prime Minister with the military clerk, and he even made it clear in the letter that war should be governed by a dictatorship, and he reminded his Prime Minister that Gray now had the right to judge all the people of the South, and that his appointment was unanimously approved by all the nobles of the South.

After receiving the Grand Duke's reply, Viscount Carey never questioned Gray's decision, but he did not hinder the opinions of other nobles, and even deliberately contributed to it.

As a result, the number of visits from other families in Harrensburg is increasing day by day, and they all demand that Gray should fulfill his duty and send a certain number of soldiers to protect their property.

These men got tired of Sir Wright, who was in charge of the castle, and finally alarmed Neysha. The hostess of Harrensburg is no longer the weak little girl she was a few years ago, she already has the majesty that a territorial mistress should have.

Not only did Nesha not agree to the demands of the nobles, but he also used wartime laws to require these nobles to provide a certain number of soldiers to go to Seka City to participate in the war.

The other nobles said that their realm had done its duty, and that Gray should not have fought a doomed war in Seka, and they demanded that Gray use what little strength he had left to defend Cook City.

To put it bluntly, it is to protect their private property.
