Chapter 114: Pre-War Meeting
Less than four days had passed before and after returning to the green field, and the impatient lord found Miss Rabbit again, hoping to set out as soon as possible.
Ilea understands that many of them still have territory in the hands of the Wing invaders and their allies, and that Tristan's army has recently been defeated, and now is indeed a good time to continue to regain lost territory.
Wait, and those defeated armies that have broken up will probably be gathered again.
Therefore, the female lord soon gathered a group of noble generals in the army again to discuss the matter of setting out on the expedition.
The crowd gathered around a map and began to discuss the next route of the march, but there were two places that could not be bypassed.
One of them is the Rock Snow City occupied by the Figuerola family, which was already the political center of the Westlands when the Enriques family ruled the land, except that it was called Dragon Burn at the time.
Snowpaw Philip renamed it in memory of his home in the North, and then moved his family here, where they had occupied the city for nearly a millennium.
Before Solomon led a large army to invade the West, the female lord had already written several letters to the Figuerola family, hoping that the latter would also join the rebels, and even willing to give up the position of commander to Clovis.
However, those letters were all in vain, and it was proposed to take Rock Snow City before the arrival of the Wing Clan, but it was later rejected by most people, including Miss Rabbit.
The reason is also very simple, everyone is a vassal of the Figuerola family, since their ancestors have fought side by side with the Figuerola family, and made an oath, and they naturally want to continue this oath.
This is not out of weakness or naivety, but just the simple and simple thoughts of the people of this land.
However, the Figuerola family abandoned them again and again.
From the dragon attack on the female lord's territory to the later entry of Solomon and his army into the West, Clovis has always stood firmly on the side of the invaders, making more and more people feel cold.
"According to the information I've gotten, there are probably more than 5,000 defenders in Rock Snow City, some of them were left there before Tristan, and some of them were defeated troops that had been collected these days.
"In addition, if necessary, the people there can also gather young men from the city to help in the battle." The female lord gave a general account of the current situation.
The crowd was silent for a moment before a voice rang out, "So if we want to continue advancing eastward, we must take Rock Snow City, otherwise it will be too dangerous to have such an army behind us."
It was Kamzi who spoke, and then he said to the female lord, "If you don't want to give me 10,000 people, you'd better ...... The Italian cannon also lends me a little, and I can take Rock Snow City for you."
"Take Rock Snow City, and then, Kamzi, do you want to take the opportunity to become the new master of the West?" Someone immediately spoke.
No one is unclear about the significance of Rock Snow City to the West, but because of this, it makes the city extremely hot.
Kamzi said angrily, "I'm just going to take that city, not to take it for myself."
"Then who should it belong to after the Rock Snow City is captured?" Someone else asked.
The crowd fell silent again, and some people secretly glanced up at Ilea in front of the map, but no one spoke for the time being because they didn't know what the others were thinking.
In contrast, the city of the lake, where Solomon and his army of wings were stationed, is a little less controversial.
According to the news from Hugh Shi who was lurking there in the Shuangxiu Sect, the city in the lake has been closed for half a month.
The price of grain, meat and vegetables has more than doubled, and several riots have been triggered, but there is still no sign of opening the city.
It can be seen that those Wing Clan people have indeed suffered a very terrible thing, and the defeat not long ago has already been reported back to the City of the Lake, but Solomon did not have any orders, and the female lord even suspected that the Wing Clan commander had died of illness.
It is estimated that there are not many fighters left who can fight, the only trouble
It was the green dragon that was ordered.
But as long as the White Queen is there, it can't make any waves.
The female lord did not rush to express her position, but first asked people to bring some prisoners who were more familiar with the situation in Rock Snow City.
In addition to Tristan and some high-ranking officers of the coalition forces, Iwan, the former head of intelligence of the empire and the former minister of Solomon, was also brought along.
Miss Rabbit asked them, "Who's in charge of the Rock Snow City right now?"
"It's still Clovis who calls the shots, but the three thousand men we left behind were under the command of Old Oak Vilstein."
"Old Oak Virstein?"
"He came from a small family called Dormond, and when Solomon forced some nobles to come to him, the old Oak Wellstein performed well, not only did he get several fiefs in one go, but Solomon also appreciated him."
The one who spoke was a captive of nobility named Beard.
"More than half of the three thousand people left behind in Rock Snow City this time are his people."
Someone's mind couldn't help but come alive again, "If we can defeat the man named Vierstein and his three thousand defenders, maybe Lord Clovis will open the city gates directly."
"Clovis won't open the gates." Iwan said suddenly, seeing that the eyes in the hall fell on him, the former intelligence director continued unhurriedly.
"Clovis is well versed in history, and believes that the Vespasian family is exhausted, and that Tristan has been defeated by you, but Solomon and his army of the Winged are still in the City of the Lake.
"And they have many followers, they already occupy most of the empire, a defeat is nothing to them, they can afford this loss."
"So Clovis won't surrender to you until the last resort."
Yi Wan finished speaking in one breath, his speech was clear, and his logic was also very coherent, so that the female lord couldn't help but look at him a few more times.
Iwan was overjoyed, but remained unmoved on the surface, "If you really want to conquer Rock Snow City, you must capture Clovis and kill him, otherwise with his and Figuerola family's prestige in the city, he will definitely cause you trouble in the future."
"Old Oak Werstein doesn't matter, this isn't his territory, he can't fight with you, and from what I know of him, he's not a tough guy.
"As long as you make a gesture to attack Rock Snow City at all costs, while leaving him a back road, there is a good chance that he will choose to abandon the city."
