"The reason why Evan returned to Lukang in a hurry was found out......"

Without saying much about Seid's cultivation of the secret arts, Lady Dinah waited for Seid here at night, but there was still an urgent matter to discuss with him. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The news of the loss of Tennison, the fall of Lüneburg, and the heavy losses of the Duchy's army finally came out.

Regardless of whether this news came from the Viscount's Castle or was propagated by Norman agents, in short, the current Lukang City has begun to be in turmoil.

At the same time, after learning that the Knights of Teide had suffered extremely heavy losses, Andrew Warren immediately issued a notice to expand the garrison.

It was when Evan received this news that he hurried back to Lukang.

The Knights of Ted suffered heavy losses, which meant that Andrew had cut off one of his most powerful arms, and the position of the viscount's heir was not so secure, and Evan was in a hurry, probably running for the control of the garrison.

But this is not what Lady Dinah wants to discuss with Seid.

Pulling Seid into the study, Madame Dinah unfolded the map and pointed to a river confluence on it, her face showing a deep concern: "Lüneburg has fallen, and I am afraid that the port of Pollit will also be occupied by the Normans, and our rear route will be cut off. ”

Lady Dinah originally came from the United City-State of Ernest, which was a famous city-state of the Hundred Islands, and the commerce was extremely prosperous, and there would often be a fleet of chambers of commerce along the Agate River to conduct various trades with the Flemish Kingdom and the Duchy of Raymond.

After Lady Dinah married the baron, the barony became one of the trading points, of course, because it was only a small town, and the only people who came and went here were the Bessie family.

The Port of Pollit is a vital hub for these fleets.

Located at the junction of the Nantes agglomeration with Chiveborg, as well as Lüneburg, and at the meeting point of several tributaries of the Onyx River, the fleet had to pass through the port of Pollit to and from Chiyifburg, or to Lüneburg.

No one could have predicted the sudden fall of Lüneburg, and Madame Dina had always regarded this route as a final retreat, but the Normans cut it off with great speed.

"Don't worry. ”

Seid's brows were also deeply locked, the fall of Lüneburg was too sudden, the flood and the earthquake helped the Normans too much, but the matter has reached this point, it is useless to rush, and it is true to find a way to solve it.

"If I were Crown Prince Gauldid, my next step would be to focus on Nantes. ”

Pointing his finger on the map, Said said in a deep voice: "It's almost June, and the raiding period of the mountain barbarians is near, and the Earl of Wilbert of Newcarshire can't draw any troops, and the only ones Gauld has to face now are Nantes and Fort Chiif."

Compared with Nantes, Fort Chiif is undoubtedly much more vulnerable, especially the elite coalition led by Count Silva has been defeated by the Normans, if Gauld chooses to attack here, I am afraid that no city can stop them for ten days and a half, within a month, at most not more than a month and a half, Fort Chiif will definitely be captured by him.

If I were him, though, I'd stare at the Lionheart's ass and pound Nantes. ”

Lady Dinah and Garney were both looking at Seid, waiting for him to say anything further.

"Nantes is the head of the principality, and its strength is much better than that of Lüneburg and Newcar, especially with the famous grand knight of Raymond, Galder wants to fight, in fact, it is not an easy thing, and there is even the possibility of being defeated.

However, from a strategic point of view, since Gald claimed to be the king of conquest and had the intention of annexing the entire principality, attacking Nantes now would be his best, if not the only, chance. ”

Tapping his fingers lightly on the desk, Said paused for a moment before continuing: "Don't look at the great war between Flan and East Flander, and the Duchy of Baden and another army of the Normans are also facing off, but once there is a crisis that the Duchy of Raymond will be swallowed by Gauld whole, no matter how difficult it is for the Kingdom of Fran and the Duchy of Baden, reinforcements will definitely be sent."

Gauld's best chance is only now, and he can only take advantage of this natural disaster to capture Nantes with all his lightning power before the Kingdom of Flemish and the Duchy of Baden have time to react, and he can have the possibility of annexing the principality. ”

"Therefore, I judge that, at least until Nantes is captured by him, we in Chiff will not be in danger of being overwhelmed by a large army, and Galder's means are nothing more than bribery, assassination, and chaos. ”

"We still have time to prepare and set up. ”

As he spoke, Said turned his head to look at Mrs. Dinah: "Mom, tomorrow I will let the eldest sister escort back, Evan will fight for control of the garrison, and we will at least give him verbal support." Only if he and Andrew are inseparable, we can make it easier here. ”

Lady Dinah nodded slightly, but there was a trace of concern on her face: "Where is your sister......"

"Don't worry, I'll tell her personally, and I'll put the matter on Andrew for the time being. There was a cold look on Said's face, "This was originally made by the Warren family, can the eldest sister still blame us?"

"I'm afraid she'll be embarrassed. Forget it, you're right, you can do it. Lady Dinah sighed.

"And then there's the food. Although our food is still sufficient for the time being, we must also pay attention to the subsequent production and harvest. I plan to slowly expand the size of the Order to 300 people, and then resume patrolling and guarding the territory to ensure the stability of the villages. In addition, the selection criteria for this new member are also higher than today's, and the main targets are tentatively those hunters from nearby villages, and if there are enough prominent among the homeless, they can also be recruited. ”

The 200 people recruited at noon are just to cope with the crisis, and the 100 people who are ready to be expanded are the main combat force at present.

Madame Dinah had no objection to this, and it was always good to have more troops at her disposal in the current situation.

"As for the ...... of military salaries," Said's eyes flickered, "the Onyx River has been cut off, and the income from trade is missing, so we also need to open up another source." In the current world, in addition to food, it should be the most sought-after weapon, but ...... I'm going to think about this again, and maybe it can be combined with one of my previous ideas. ”

Said didn't mention much about taxation and other things, this was a territorial internal affair, even when the baron was still there, it was also presided over by Lady Dinah, and he would not interfere indiscriminately.

He focused on the military, and Lady Dinah continued to preside over the internal affairs so that there would be no conflict and the current stability would be guaranteed.

Pondering and pondering, after a long time, Said's gaze turned to the personal maid: "Jiani, you are the one who knows the most about my previous conception of the intelligence network, and now I have some new ideas, and I need you to go to Lukang for a while......"

"Young Master, you command, no matter what, I will complete it. Garney nodded without hesitation.

"I'm not in a hurry to deal with the specifics, I'll try to think about it tonight, and I'll talk to you about it tomorrow morning. Mom, you rest early, everything is weighing on you these days, don't get tired. Garney, you go too, tomorrow you have to escort Edith, and go to rest too. ”

......

After some rhetoric, under the light of the study, only Said was alone, I saw him sometimes pondering, sometimes writing, the night getting deeper and deeper, but not only did he not get tired, but the more he thought, the more excited he became, and the more he wrote, the more energetic he became.

Trend... 1. Norman invasion, and 2) widespread confusion in the principality, or latent but unprovoked confusion.

Taking advantage of... 1. The whole people want to resist the Normans, but they lack guidance and are cowardly in their hearts; 2. When chaos comes, the weak will be bullied, but the weak are the majority, or even the vast majority.

With the slogan of resisting the Norman invasion and solidarity and mutual assistance, and not being bullied, with the general trend, even without much investment, a world can be quickly opened.

And then ......

The more people there are, the easier it is for the intelligence network to spread out.

There are too many people, and when he raises his arms, he can immediately pull up a team.

Moreover, he still occupies the hearts of the people, even if Archduke Raymond can't hold on, the duchy really falls, and his barony is also swallowed up by the Normans, he also has the capital to resist the Normans!

Even...... When it really came to that point, it may not be impossible for him to resist the banner of the Normans in the future!

Inspiration exploded, and the handwriting on the white paper skyrocketed.

Propaganda, example, propaganda, and one more and more, and then it spreads again......

Peripheral members, internal members, core members, leadership, core.

Propaganda department, combat department, intelligence department.

And also...... Money!

Under the light, Seid, who was not sleepy at all, kept writing, and it was not until the early morning of the second day, when the sky gradually brightened and his inspiration gradually subsided, that he slowly collected the tip of his pen.

He looked back at it again, and suddenly he groaned, and the tip of his pen dropped the last stroke on it.

It's no longer a simple intelligence network, it needs a name, a lofty name.

Since it is in the name of solidarity and mutual assistance, it is simply called... Mutual Aid Brotherhood!

However, it's useless to just dare to think, and you have to dare to do it!

Putting away the pen, Said's thought moved, and he pondered how to take the first step!

"The initial propaganda started with Rowan and them. ”

"As for role models...... Jiani led the team to escort Edith back to the city, so that some guards could be left in the city, and the weapons could also be sent in together, and no matter which one was chosen as the target, they could suddenly strike and fight a battle. ”

"But when this first step is carried out, it is up to me to personally intervene to establish a central position...... Once the Knights are on track, they will return to Lukang!"

......

In the early morning, before the sun had yet to rise, the three of them from last night gathered in the study again.

After some discussion, various preparations began to be arranged quickly.

When everything is ready, it's time for breakfast.

Lady Dinah and Garney retreated for a while, and Syd finally met with Edith.

The younger brother's obviously strong body overnight added sincere joy to Edith's snow-white face, but in addition to the joy, there was always a bit of worry in the corners of her eyes that could not be hidden.

She is weak, but not ignorant.

Evan had just left, and the barony immediately recruited troops, and the younger brother, who had been dying, cheered up and directly participated in the reconstruction of the Knights.

"On the day of the earthquake, someone poisoned me. ”

Maybe it's because of the success of the secret arts cultivation and the strength of his body, Said's appetite is particularly good today, large slices of bread are constantly stuffed into his mouth, and the large glass of milk bottoms out in a few sips, just when Edith is also happy to watch, a cold sentence can't help but squeeze out of his bulging cheeks.
