As Lin Ye said, when the news of the sudden appearance of enemy troops outside the city reached the Iron Helmet City, the nobles in the city immediately started a heated discussion about it. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Dozens of people in the conference hall were arguing, and these people were roughly divided into two factions, one was the nobles from other places, and they advocated holding out.

After all, they have just escaped from their own territory, they are afraid of war, and they desperately want to be stable, and defense is the best choice.

On the other hand, the local nobility led by Cahill, the natives of the so-called Iron Helmet, and the northern nobility of the province that had not yet been affected.

Unlike the foreign factions that advocated perseverance, they advocated taking the initiative, and the two factions were in a quarrel, and they were at a stalemate with each other.

"Can't you just take a good look at the situation? It's still a harsh winter, and they're alone, they're running out of food, and they just need to defend. ”

"That's right, isn't it better for us to eat ham and omelette here and wait for them to run out of food and retreat on their own?"

"It's just stupid to take advantage of such a good advantage and take the initiative to go out of the city to seek battle, and you can't do it!"

The foreign aristocrats insisted on their opinions, which was also recognized by many officers, and from a strategic point of view, this was undoubtedly the best choice.

"You guys from the south, your home has been lost like lost dogs, and it is not your turn to shout in the city of Iron Helmets. ”

"That is, you know the attitude of escaping, so that others hit here step by step, and you also have the face to point fingers here?"

"Half of us were beaten down in a week, and we have superior forces, but we can't hold out, do you want us to be laughed at?"

The other group of nobles scoffed at the strategy that could not be held, and for them it was a matter of how many soldiers they lost, as long as they could win.

With the advantage in every respect, a happy victory would certainly be better than cowering in the city, they thought.

Both factions insisted on their opinions, and the solemn hall was in an uproar, and Cahill, as the interim governor, walked out of the room.

He needed to get out and get some air, and the commander of the army, Thero, immediately followed, and he had to talk to the newly ascended governor.

"Lord Governor, you seem to be troubled, haven't you made up your mind yet?" asked Thero, who immediately asked if he had to cherish the opportunity.

Nothing is more important to an officer than merit, which can only be earned through war, although it is now wise to defend at the strategic level.

But with the advantage in hand, someone sent the battle exploits to the door, and it was absolutely impossible for Selo to turn a blind eye to it.

"It's hard to make a decision now that both factions are at odds, Thero, what do you think?" Cahill sighed softly.

He was originally indecisive, after all, it was his brother Kamal who served as the governor of the province of Ironwall for a long time, and he had nothing to do.

But this time Kamal had an accident and suddenly pushed him to the front desk, although he had long coveted this position, but he was still a little unprepared.

"My lord, the reason why they are arguing is nothing more than thinking about themselves, although defense can make the enemy self-defeating, but this army suddenly appeared in the heart of the empire, and all parties, including the royal capital, are staring at us, if they hold on, what will they think?"

Instead of answering Cahill's question head-on, Cello shifted the subject to the royal capital, which was very clever and thought-provoking.

"We have superior forces, but we are still hiding in the city, I am afraid that most of us will think that our iron wall province is incompetent......

Cahill frowned, he still cared a lot about the attitude of the royal capital, after all, from Kamal's hands, their family was tied to the royal capital.

"The Iron Wall Province is the barrier to the south of the royal capital, and now that the enemy is attacking, not only do we not take the initiative to destroy them, but hide behind the high walls of the city, doesn't this clearly give the royal capital those people a chance to impeach us? ”

Thero's deliberate pause at this point, not immediately speaking, which really caught Cahill's attention, and his face immediately sank.

"What are they talking about me? Don't hide it, tell me everything. ”

Cahill had only taken over as governor for less than a week, and where the local news had spread so quickly was nothing more than Thero's rhetoric.

"That is to say, I said that you really don't have the strength of Lord Kamal, and you didn't choose your lord in the first place, but chose Lord Kamal as the governor, which is worthy of being the right decision, don't be angry, my lord, those are just gossip, how can those people know how powerful you are. ”

Selo immediately slapped Cahill's ass, this one was just right, and it was not for nothing that he could climb to this position step by step.

"What? Hmph, these ignorant guys, now the royal capital is paying attention to our performance, during the civil war, brother he did not disappoint His Majesty Rhaegar, and now I have taken over the position of my brother, I will not disappoint Your Majesty either, Thero, are you sure of defeating your opponent?"

Cahill was desperate to prove to the royal capital that he was not just a temporary governor who had been put on the table.

He will be a more qualified governor than his brother, and he will be more than capable of keeping the situation in the province under control, rather than allowing it to run wild!

"Your Excellency the Governor, let your heart be at ease, an army of 10,000 men, and a hasty march, it will be easy to clean them up, and I will be able to capture that abominable Duke of the Far East before you give the order, and this is definitely a great achievement!"

Thero kept persuading Cahill, after all, only if Cahill nodded and agreed to his troops, he would have a chance to earn his military exploits, he was an ambitious man.

is not willing to stay in the province of Tiebi for a lifetime, he wants to make meritorious deeds, step by step towards the direction of the royal capital.

What is the future of an ironclad province? He wants a higher position, and power is always the most fascinating thing!

"In that case, you can take people out of the city to meet the battle, and no matter what the cost, you must capture Lin Ye, the Duke of the Far East, alive. ”

Cahill immediately made up his mind that he wanted to be a bold governor who took the initiative to attack, not an incompetent rat cowering in the city.

"Yes, Governor, under your wise command, our army will surely win a great victory!"

Celeor's spirits were so high that he turned around and went back to lead his army out of the city, and the shining feats were already within reach.
