The nobles in the council chamber were clearly divided into two factions, and there was a lot of arguing over whether the aristocratic families in the south should surrender or not.

Until Viscount Lean-Castel shouted angrily:

"Enough! When have you been arguing here all the time?! ”

As the three most prestigious viscount families in the Northlands, the old viscount still has a lot of say in the Castel nobility.

And in this angry shout, there was even the transcendent aura of the second order of the silver moon.

The coercion that overrode all the nobles except Charlotte was released, and suddenly the noisy council hall fell silent, and for a time the eyes of almost all the nobles fell on the old viscount.

The old viscount's gaze looked around and sighed:

"Ladies and gentlemen, at the moment of the great enemy, the most important thing for us now is unity, and the third prince is by no means a good lord, I think everyone knows this very well......"

"The fall of the south is force majeure, and no noble family can stand alone against the enemy, and we can only win this war if we unite around Lord Count."

"Victory? Lord Viscount Leon-Castel, the combined forces of Boulder and Violet are as high as 50,000, and 30,000 are elite standing forces, and our current strength in North Harbor is less than 30,000, and the elite standing is only Tulip Collar allies...... And we can't play yet, how can we win with such a gap? ”

】

Some nobles couldn't help but ask.

Viscount Lean-Castel shook his head and replied:

"No, as far as I know, even if all the standing forces of the Duchy of Violet and the Duchy of Boulder are combined, it is absolutely impossible for the number to reach 30,000 ......"

"Not to mention, whether it is Violet or Boulder, the nobles in the two principalities are not completely converted, and it is impossible for the Bouvat-Lint family or the Boulder family to send all the standing forces to the war."

"The third prince claims to have an army of 50,000 and a standing reserve of 30,000, but theoretically speaking, he can gather enough troops of 30,000 and 10,000 standing reserves, which is already very good."

"Lord Viscount, even if it is an army of 30,000 and 10,000 standing reserves, it is a rather terrifying force, we ...... How do you win? ”

Another nobleman asked.

Listening to the questions raised by the other party, the old viscount's expression was also a little hesitant.

His gaze swept across the room, and he saw that the eyes of the nobles fell on him, and many of them even looked at Charlotte, who was silent behind him.

The old viscount knew that the nobles seemed to be asking him questions, but what they really wanted was the answer from the Count of Castel.

The old viscount hesitated for a moment, thinking about how to respond, but at this moment, a personal soldier suddenly broke in outside the council chamber:

"Report! Lord Earl! There's a new war report coming! ”

The soldiers quickly presented the report, and Viscount Leon Castel, who was the presiding officer of the meeting, was the first to take it.

He only glanced at the contents of the parchment scroll, and his expression changed suddenly.

This instantaneous change in expression naturally fell in the eyes of the nobles.

For a while, the eyes of the nobles were focused on the old viscount:

"Your Excellency, what happened to the South?"

Viscount Lean-Castell couldn't help but glance back at Charlotte, and after receiving the other party's signal, he sighed secretly and said:

"The fleet of the Roman-Fores family has returned to port."

"They came with the news that they had ambushed the fleets of the two principalities on the Xingyue Strait a few days ago, but they did not win, and the fleets of the two principalities had already come straight to the North Harbor."

As he spoke, he hesitated for a moment, then sighed:

"In addition, Delburg...... It also fell yesterday. ”

As soon as these words came out, the nobles in the council hall were in an uproar:

"What? Delborg also fell? ”

"Delburg is the gateway to the North Harbor, so won't the Duchy's army attack the North Harbor in a few days?"

"The naval battle was also lost? Doesn't that mean that the right to control the sea is also going to be lost? ”

"Without the right to control the sea, wouldn't Beigang become a live target?"

The news of the new battle had once again thrown the nobles into a commotion, and panic and unease spread almost uncontrollably through the council chamber.

And this time, no matter how much Viscount Leon Castel shouted "silence", he could not control the chaos in the council chamber.

Viscount Lean-Castel had to cast Charlotte a pleading look.

Charlotte didn't speak.

She picked up the fruit milk in the maid's tray and took a sip, her blue pure eyes looked around, and then turned sideways slightly, releasing the transcendent aura on her body.

The aura that far exceeded that of the ordinary silver moon spread, and the palpitation-like sense of oppression suddenly spread to every nobleman.

Feeling the aura that was much stronger than that of Viscount Lien-Castell, the nobles almost unanimously stopped arguing.

At this time, Charlotte slowly retracted her gaze and spoke softly:

"Have you had enough of the noise? If you have enough noise, you will be quiet for a while, and if you have not enough, you will continue to ......"

The nobles had no answer, and they all bowed their heads.

Powerful supernatural powers are awe-inspiring at all times.

Although Charlotte was still very young, the strength of the Second Order of Silver Moon, coupled with the status of a lord, and the prestige accumulated by leading the army to defeat the rebels some time ago, was enough for her to calm the field.

Retracting her gaze from the nobleman, Charlotte looked at the guards:

"How many ships are left in the fleet of the Roman-Fore family's return to port?"

The guard saluted respectfully, and replied nervously:

"Back to ...... Back to the Earl, there are three three-masted warships and more than a dozen oars, but many of them seem to be damaged. ”

"A dozen...... It seems that the main force is still there. ”

Thinking back to the fleet intelligence about the Roman Faure family, Charlotte muttered to herself.

After a pause, she smiled and continued:

"Don't worry, the main fleet of the Roman-Fort family was able to retreat smoothly, which shows that although the navy of Boulder and Violet is strong, it does not occupy an absolute advantage."

"The coastal defense force of my Beigang is still very strong, and with your army, it is not easy for the enemy to take Beigang."

"What do you mean, Lord Count...... Are we going to use the North Harbor as a base to resist the combined forces of Boulder and Violet? ”

Some nobles couldn't help but ask.

Charlotte bowed slightly, in acknowledgement.

"Earl, but...... What's the point? The gap between the strength of our army and the other side is too great, even if it resists, once the other side besieges us and loses supplies from the outside world, defeat is only a matter of time......"

"North Harbor...... It's just an island, after all! ”

A nobleman said worriedly.

Charol glanced at the other party and chuckled:

"Oh? A matter of timing? Sir Tyras, do you think that at the moment when we have published the crimes of the Third Prince, will he be able to afford it, or will we be able to afford it? ”

Listening to Charlotte's words, the nobles were stunned, and then they were all stunned.

They weren't stupid, and Charlotte figured out the doorway with a single tap.

Castel had already handed over the handle of the Third Prince with a letter of war, and as long as they could drag it out long enough, the other enemies of the Third Prince in the kingdom would naturally attack.

"Not to mention...... I should have already said that we also have reinforcements. ”

Charlotte paused and continued.
