Chapter 434: Meeting (2)
"Alberta has his advice, which I think is great, but I don't think his answer will solve the problem we are facing. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info Everyone, especially the clan elders, what do you think of our Thord family's choice?" Arnold said.
However, the people in the room, including Alberta, looked at each other and then chose to remain silent.
"I know that this is a very difficult decision for everyone, so it is better to suspend the meeting for an hour, and then vote on it after an hour. "Arnold saw that everyone had no intention of expressing their opinions, and it was very difficult to do something that would affect the entire Thorde family in just a few minutes, and at the same time, it was also irresponsible to the family. So Arnold set aside an hour for everyone to think about it.
Of course, he had another thing to do - to meet the messenger from Quintina.
Leaving the room behind, Arnold walked out of the room and told a squire outside the door to call Rex to his study.
Arnold didn't meet Rex because he had an opinion about Rex. He had intended to meet Rex the day after his arrival in Athe, but Gallup's messengers followed.
The sudden appearance of this emissary disrupted Arnold's plans, and he had to consider Gallup's attitude, after all, among the many forces in the Ravel Empire, Gallup was the most powerful, and the slightest carelessness could lead to an extremely dangerous situation for the Thord family.
Under this pressure, Arnold had to think a little more, especially while Gallup's emissary was still in Athe.
However, as time went on, Arnold had to settle the matter on how to choose sides.
Arnold took a sip of his tea, leaned back in his chair, and kept thinking about how to communicate with Rex, whether to be serious or kind, to apologize in the first place, or to ignore these inappropriate things.
These things still need to be thought about carefully.
"Knock knock. ”
There was a knock on the door.
Arnold sat up straight, put his hands on the table, and said in a majestic voice, "Please come in!"
The door opened, and the attendant hurried into the room.
"Patriarch, no, the messenger is ...... He...... Gone......"
Arnold immediately stood up from his chair, "How could he not see it? There are so many guards in the corridor, he has nowhere to go." Have you checked everything?"
The attendant said with a sad face: "It's checked, it's all checked." My lord, the man is gone. The window of that lounge was open, and I feared that the messenger was gone. ”
Arnold immediately got up in a hurry, and hurriedly followed the attendant to the room where Rex was resting. Sure enough, the windows of this lounge were wide open, and the lounge was in shambles, and all the places where they could hide were carefully searched. But Rex was still not found.
A big living man disappeared right under his nose.
Arnold returned to the conference room with a blue face, and the others also saw that Arnold's face was a little wrong, and the conference room where the heated discussion was going on suddenly fell silent, and everyone focused on Arnold's body.
"I'll tell you all very bad news," Arnold said back to his seat, his mind spinning as he thought about how he should explain the matter, "and there may not be so many options for us." Just now, Rex, the emissary from Quintina, had fled. I've sent someone to look for him, but his escape is what I think is a sign of contempt for the Thord. Ladies and gentlemen, I don't know what you think about this. But my attitude is very clear, I can't tolerate anyone underestimating our Thord family, no one. ”
Arnold slammed the table hard, and the whispering in the conference room came to an abrupt end.
"I have decided to follow Gallup's proposal and not intervene in the war between Quintina and Gallup, and at the same time send 50,000 soldiers to attack Dagon Rigun. What do you think?" Nord looked at the people in the room, and finally fixed his gaze on the clan elders.
"Obey the patriarch's arrangement. More than a dozen clan elders lowered their heads and said in unison.
"Also, the messenger who searched the whole city for Quintina. Insulting the Thorde family, I'm going to let him die!"
The rash move of an emissary successfully changed the future of Ravel's empire.
......
In less than half a month, Aaron's army has reported frequent successes, and all other cities in Leman County have been included in Aaron's hands except for the two cities occupied by the Sood family.
In fact, strictly speaking, Aaron's army did not encounter resistance from the other side when attacking these areas, because Quintina focused almost all of her energy on Gallup, and her forces were hit on the cities of Monhe and Datu.
Gallup has been besieging Datu for more than a month, and according to the information from the spies, except for the first two attacks, Gallup's army has not captured the city again, and the death toll has reached 30,000, which is about to be equal to Datu's garrison.
After seeing these news, Aaron had to be impressed with Zefnaia, if there were enough troops. It was also not impossible for Zephnaia to unify the entire Ravel Empire.
After taking Lyman, Aaron had no idea of continuing to attack Madig, because the problem that Karl had said earlier had now become more serious.
They have a lot of cities, but they don't have enough generals and soldiers. In order to solve this dilemma, Aaron promoted generals from among the low-level non-commissioned officers who performed well, and recruited soldiers in large numbers on the other.
In the battle between Burr and Aaron, Lyman's soldiers had suffered heavy casualties, and although the surviving soldiers were eventually released safely, the more than 10,000 soldiers could not even guarantee the safety of a large city. Datu's 50,000 soldiers are proof that it is still in danger in the face of Gallup's powerful offensive.
In just two weeks, more than 20,000 people have been recruited. Most of them were poor people and commoners who wanted to change their fate, and there were a few nobles who wanted to reorganize their families.
The addition of 20,000 recruits made Aaron breathe a sigh of relief, and the pressure on his body suddenly eased a lot, but if he faced Gallup or the Saud family, these soldiers were still not enough, and it seemed that he had to continue to recruit soldiers.
While Aaron was agonizing over the draft, a fast horse galloped into Seghat. A piece of information was handed over to Aaron by Cameron himself.
"The Sod family gathered 50,000 soldiers and attacked Dagon Rigun. ”
In just one sentence, Aaron's plan to recuperate was shattered. (To be continued.) )
