This battle meeting was held in the castle lord's mansion in Iwasuki City.

In addition to Lilania and Irea, there were also many lords of the Westlands and the Golden Valley.

The big guy didn't expect the girl's movements to be so fast, the front foot had just completed the coronation, and the back foot immediately began to prepare for the battle.

However, after a year of recuperation, order in the western frontier has now been restored, and last year ushered in a bumper harvest, at least the food and grass needed for the war are no longer a problem.

And in addition to the rewards given by the Shuangxiu Sect and the Arias family, the Campbell family also promised to pay another 600,000 golden lions to the lords who participated in the war if they could recover the Golden Valley.

However, this money cannot be paid by Pippo and Lilania now, and it needs to be paid in five years, but with the wealth of the Golden Valley, it should not be a problem for them to fulfill their promise.

Therefore, although they went out to fight this time, the enthusiasm of the lords of the Western Realm was still quite high, especially those who had been robbed by those Wing Clan people before.

Although Ilea later recovered most of her belongings, except for those who had joined the rebels early in the morning and fought alongside Miss Rabbit, the others did not have the face to ask for the girl to return.

At present, the big guys are generally short of money, and fighting is the fastest way to get money.

Pippo first briefed the crowd on the current situation, and after a year of hard work, the Campbell family had recovered nearly a third of the Golden Valley.

The situation of the remaining part of the land is more complicated, there are new nobles who support Conley, there are old nobles who support Lilania's uncle Black Hand Edla, and there are those who are still waiting.

And recently I heard that the Second Son League also sent an embassy to lobby around the Golden Valley to win over the lords, and the price they offered was also very high.

After Pippo finished speaking, Lilania took her husband's words and pointed to the fortress road in the middle of the map, called a berry fort.

"Our men have been besieging this place for the last month, this castle belongs to the Marsun family, who were originally vassals of the Campbell family, but my uncle found them first, and the current head of the Marsong family is Heldrake.

"He is two hundred and sixty years old this year, and he used to be my uncle's military teacher, and they have always maintained a close relationship.

"Drake is also the commander of the Golden Valley, although I don't want to admit it, but Drake did teach us a good lesson with Berry Castle, we are five times the number of Drake, but we still can't take that castle with all our efforts."

"And if we can't take the Berry Fort, we can't continue to fight east, or Drake may lead people to sneak up on our rear at any time."

Ilea and the others also stood at the table, looking at the large map in front of them.

Durham then pointed to another town north of Berry Castle called Coppergate, "Who does this belong to?" ”

"The Philwood family, they haven't said who they want to support yet, and it seems that they plan to continue to wait and see.

"When we were besieging Berry Fort before, we had been paying attention to the movements on the side of Bronze Gate City, because the two places were very close, and it was less than half a day's road.

"But the Fellwood family has always been very honest, and they haven't even sent many spies, so it's clear that they don't want to interfere." Lilania said.

"But if they knew that the Queen and her army of the West had also joined the race for the Golden Valley, would they still be able to sit still?"

Cayden, who had been quiet before, suddenly spoke.

Duren nodded, "That's what I mean, so I'd suggest leaving another three thousand people to watch out for the Fairwood family's reaction." ”

"Why three thousand?" Ilea said, "The troops we have on hand should be quite rich now, and we can send more people to it, and it can be a little safer." ”

"Sir Durham must be trying to use these three thousand men to transfer the Fillwood family out of Coppergate." Cayden whispered in the girl's ear.

Miss Rabbit suddenly looked at Duren again, "Do you still want to bring down the Bronze Gate City as well?" ”

"That's right." Durham admitted, "If only the Fairwood family stayed in Coppergate, if they had other ideas, then we would take Coppergate with us, and then we could advance north along the Longneck." ”

Ilea thought for a moment, and said without finding any problems, "How many people do you think we will have to dispatch this time?" ”

"Fifteen thousand should be almost enough." "We don't need dragons, we just have fifty Italian cannons, a thousand musketeers, and the original army of the Campbells, and no one in the Golden Valley is our opponent." ”

Hearing that only 15,000 people were needed to take the Golden Valley Land, the lords were not only happy, but they were all a little anxious.

They also hoped to solve their financial difficulties through the war, but the fifteen thousand men were much smaller than they had expected, and many of them might not be able to go.

Ireya didn't expect the enthusiasm of the big guy to be so high, and she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed at the same time.

Because Duren made it very clear before, if there are too many people, you can't fish.

It turned out that Cayden proposed at this point, "I think we can consider splitting the army into two ways." ”

The girl's eyes lit up after hearing this, yes, since the quota of one unit is not enough, then it is better to pull one more troops.

Anyway, the flintlock pistols and Italian cannons she has now accumulated in her hand are enough for the two troops, and the two troops will not be able to continue fishing if they go separately, and they can recover the Golden Valley faster.

Miss Rabbit asked Durham on the side, "What do you think?" ”

Duren pondered for a moment and said, "It is more secure to divide the troops into two ways." ”

"Okay, then let's settle it like this, anyway, we have plenty of food and grass." Ilea clapped her hands and said, "I'll take the army myself, and I'll hand over the rest to ...... Well, Sir Ramsay. ”

Hearing that the number of people on the expedition had doubled, all the noble lords present were also very happy, and those who were anxious had already asked their attendants to prepare their horses and prepare to go back to recruit warriors.

Miss Rabbit then left Ramsay and Durham alone, and studied the route of the second force, and the final rendezvous.

It wasn't until dusk, when the manager Yago knocked on the door to remind the girl that it was time to finish work and rest, that Ilea came out of the study and stretched.

Yago coughed lightly and reminded Miss Rabbit to pay attention to etiquette, but Irea pretended not to hear and hugged Cayden beside her, excitedly.

"Prophet Merlin is right."

Hearing this, Kayden's heart moved, "What did Prophet Merlin say?" ”

"He said you would be my good helper, and I could trust you as much as I trusted him."

"And then?"

"Well, that's what he said."
