"You must be crazy!"

In the halls of Grizzly Castle, the crowd no longer gives face to Count Cyril, and publicly accuses him of madness and stubbornness.

Edmund slapped the table with his iron-clad hand even more angrily.

There was a lot of talk, but Cyril still insisted on his idea, he wanted the Northside Legion to stay in Grizzly Bear and use the castle's excellent geographical advantage to fight against the Greenskins until he waited for the Queen's rescue. But the other lords didn't want to do that at all, they had already witnessed the horror of the Ironskins, and they knew the size of the Greenskins. It was an invincible legion, and even the best efforts of the whole of Kislev could not stop the invasion of the Greenskins, let alone a small Grizzly Castle.

Even if there are dangerous fortifications, in the face of absolute power, the iron wall will not help. Of course, Cyril doesn't understand this, he just has his own little abacus......

In the winter, the Ice Queen promised him to help him rebuild the Watch, which was the most important thing to him. Is a lord with no population and no castle still a lord? The Watchfort was shattered by the orc invasion, with its towns destroyed, its population depleted, its farmland deserted, and trade almost cut off. Even the army was barely maintained by Cyril's money. The only thing he could count on was the help of the Ice Queen.

And the queen had warned him that when Kislev was in trouble, he could no longer retreat. Otherwise, let alone aid construction, until the greenskin crisis is resolved, the queen herself will not let him go. Weighing the pros and cons, Cyril chose to stick to Grizzly Castle and wait for the Queen's reinforcements, flanking the Greenskins in front and back. As for luring Greenskin away, Cyril knew that the leader of the orcs was actually hunting Rhodes...... There was absolutely no need for him to walk with Rod......

However, he is only standing on his side...... For the big picture, no lord wants to stay and die......

After the Battle of Watchtower, everyone knew that Rhodes was right, that it was an unstoppable army. The only way is to play guerrilla and slowly lure it out of Kislev.

"I'm crazy? Hmph, tell me, are we retreating as fast as the Greenskins are chasing? Where do you want to retreat? At the beginning, Rod had only 3,000 reinforcements, and now our troops are close to 10,000. There were also a large number of wounded. Tell me, how quickly can such a force retreat?"

Cyril sneered.

Although Cyril had his own plans to stay at Grizzly Castle, it has to be said that his words also have some truth. With 10,000 troops in the north, it is not easy to retreat, but if it is a few hundred people, they can come and go freely. If it is two or three thousand people, it is already difficult to keep the whole regiment on a rapid march. And now it is 10,000 people, and there is basically no possibility of a rapid march of the whole regiment. Someone will always be left behind, after all, not every soldier is from a standing soldier...... The difference in physical strength and quality made it impossible for this coalition army to complete a large-scale retreat in a short period of time.

"Retreat, there is a glimmer of life. Hiding in this castle is the only way to die!"

Deguer, Lord of Snow Rock City, said loudly.

"Not necessarily, right? The Ice Queen will send legions to support us, and there are archery troops in the capital, as well as the Snow Eagle Legion, and many elite hussars. As long as we waited until ......"

"Don't wait, Caterina won't send troops. ”

Giger interrupted the Count. The bleak sunlight shone through the narrow windows of Fort Grizzly Bear's face, outlining his rugged and grim face.

"Because even if the shooting army is dispatched, it can't defeat the greenskins. It's imaginable. A shooting army of 2,000 people, even if they hit a hundred shots and a salvo, they would kill two thousand greenskins at most. The speed at which the muskets were filled, you know, was not enough for the Greenskins to charge up, and it was not enough for the firing army to fire three rounds of salvos. The Ice Queen will not send this trump card out, hiding on the city wall to shoot, in order to maximize the power of the shooting army, the walls of Kislev City are tall and thick, even if the outer city falls, there is also the inner city. As for the Snow Eagle Legion and the Griffin Legion, they have just been beaten all over the ground by the Iron Sheets, do you think they will go out again? Even if they do, it will not help, they will only be the target of the Greenskins' slaughter. "Slightly

Giger said in a calm tone, unhurried.

His words poured cold water on Cyril's head, embarrassing the opinionated earl.

"Yes, Lord Giger is right, honorable Earl Cyril, I also agree with the retreat plan, although there are many problems, but it is good that the Northern Army will not be wiped out. ”

Marte, Lord of Grizzly Castle, interjected. Malte has taken over the castle since the previous lord, Benedict, was imprisoned in a dungeon by the Ice Queen for his involvement in the Errengrad Rebellion. There is no doubt that he is the Queen's man, and it was the Ice Queen who sent him to take over the castle. Like the rest of the people who were promoted, Malte had to be on the Queen's side, so, in his heart, he actually preferred the Northern Coalition to retreat and lure the Greenskins away. In this way, Grizzly Bear will be spared the catastrophe. He was in a different situation than Cyril, who had traveled south with the Northern Army to support the Ice Queen and defend the city of Kislev. If he retreats, he will be regarded as a coward and a traitor. But Malte was different, he stuck to Fort Grizzly, providing food and shelter to the huge Northern Army, and no one would accuse him of doing anything wrong.

"Annihilation? I don't think so. ”

Cyril raised an eyebrow and said. He observed Rod's face, a green-skinned invasion, and he couldn't ignore the White Bear Lord's opinion. Cyril knew that the only person who could gather all the people in the north today was Rhodes.

It's just that Rhodes is still silent. He sat there and watched the audience.

Finally, Cyril couldn't help it anymore, he looked at Rhodes and whispered—

"You all know who Ironhide wants to challenge. Rod, I support your plan, but to tell you the truth, you shouldn't bring anyone else in your plan, you should take your own troops and lead away the iron sheets. The orc's target is you, and, with a small number of people, you can march again in a hurry......"

"Cyril, do you know what you're talking about?"

Again, before the Count could finish his sentence, he was interrupted. Edmund stood up and scolded angrily, even ignoring Cyril's title and title and calling out his name.

"When the Watch Bunker was besieged by the Greenskins, it was Rhodes who risked his life and brought reinforcements to support your castle, which reluctantly led the Greenskins away, keeping the Watchtower and the northern gates. He himself almost died in a duel with Ironskin. Now, when the Greenskins are back, you're going to leave him alone at risk, and let him walk alone again on the blade?"

Edmund asked aloud.

"First of all, I must thank Rod for helping me, for helping Fort Watch. But for now, in the current situation, it is best to let the troops of Blackhammer Fortress retreat first. If the number of people is small, you can run fast, and the number of people is small, which is convenient for guerrilla tactics ......"

Cyril said cheekily.

"Needless to say, Cyril, I'm ashamed of you. You can hide here and wait for your queen to send reinforcements, and I'll follow Rhodes north to lure the greenskins away, and if my men are exhausted halfway, I'll make them stop their march and take them the other way, as many greenskins as I can get away, and I'll relieve Rhodes of the pressure to cover him. If there were no White Bear Lord in the north, it would have been over!"

Giger, Lord of Wintercastle, stood up and slammed his battle axe to the ground with a sonorous sound. Immediately afterwards, Edmund, the lord of Iceland, also stood up, saying that he was with the army of Wintercastle, following Rhodes. They looked around, and soon, one by one, the other lords stood up and offered to share the risk with Rhodes and the forces of Blackhammer Castle.
