Charlotte's words finally succeeded in calming the panicked Northland nobles.

Of course, it was not the so-called "reinforcements" that reassured the nobles, but the conspiracy mentioned by Charlotte, that is, ...... They can afford it, but the third prince can't afford it.

Being able to stand tall in the Star-Moon War, and being able to stand tall in the face of demon tides and pirate attacks again and again for thousands of years, Northport, the capital of Castel, is naturally not a vegetarian.

As well as being the most famous trading center in the Northlands, it was also a lonely fortress that hung out of the sea, as evidenced by the tall seafront walls, the large stone cannons on the fortress, and the towering mage tower.

】

It's just that with the explosion of population and the influx of immigrants in recent years, the neighborhoods around North Harbor have expanded one after another, making her seem to have lost her edges.

The nobles of the Northland were well aware of this, and their panic was only directed at the mighty army of the Third Prince.

After Charlotte explained everything, although he was still worried, for the nobles, at least there was hope.

And all this was especially evident after the arrival of the old Viscount Roman-Fer in the council chamber.

At the moment when this viscount, who was not very reputable, entered, the nobles of the Northland almost breathed a sigh of relief, and their frowns eased a little.

Obviously, although the vast majority of nobles did not like this pirate-turned-viscount, the fighting power of the Roman Fore family was obvious to all.

The arrival of the Roman Fohr family in Northport has undoubtedly made Northport's defense a little stronger.

"Lord Earl, the fleet of the Roman-Fort family has entered the harbor, and all the transcendent beings of the family have landed, and they swear to fight with you until the last moment."

The old Viscount Roman-Fur, who was always dressed in a black dress, knelt down on one knee and said respectfully.

He was followed by several barons and more than a dozen hereditary knights of the Roman-Fore family.

Charlotte checked the roster on their chest badges and was surprised to find that the middle and upper echelons of the Roman Faure family had really arrived.

This attitude is even more resolute than that of the Lien Castels.

You must know that even the old Viscount of Ryan Castel, who has been following her side, not all the noble lords in the family have come to the North Harbor, and even in the fallen areas of the south, there is a small number of baronies whose family has surrendered.

"It's good to come back, the next coastal defense of Beigang still needs to be worried about Roman Foerqing."

Charlotte nodded slightly and said.

"Rest assured, Lord Earl, we have already fought with the fleet of Boulder-Violet, and although they are very strong, relying on the fortifications of the North Harbor, we are not without the strength to resist."

Viscount Roman-Fore replied with a solemn expression.

Viscount Lean-Castel glanced thoughtfully at the "Pirate Viscount", then looked around at the nobles who had quieted down in the council chamber, nodded slightly:

"It seems that everyone has calmed down, and it just so happens that His Excellency Viscount Romain Fore has also returned, so ...... Let's talk about how to defend North Harbor. ”

This time, the nobles did not refute.

They soon began to discuss the defense of North Harbor under the leadership of the old viscount.

Of course, the vast majority of the aristocracy was only listening, and they would only occasionally make their own proposals.

The only ones who really participated in the discussion were the two viscounts and the barons, these nobles with higher titles were of higher status on the one hand, and most of them had commanded similar battles on the other hand, and both were commanders.

Charlotte did not participate in the discussion again, but quietly listened to the discussion of the nobles.

She knows that she has no experience, so it's better to let the professionals continue to worry about it at this time.

But this does not mean that she should be the shopkeeper, the process of auditing is also a process of learning, and in addition, no matter how the nobles discuss, she is the one who makes the final decision.

Gradually, as the nobles began to discuss, a defense plan led by Viscount Romain Faure and Viscount Leon Castel, supplemented by many nobles, was also taken out.

The core of the entire defense plan is quite simple and crude, that is, to abandon other territories south of Beigang, stick to Beigang and Beigang Bridge, use small warships to control the Dorne River Road, and defend and delay with Beigang as the center.

Thanks to the Dorne River, the North Port was originally the gateway to the north of Castel, and as long as the North Port Bridge and the Dorne River were controlled, the Boulder-Violet coalition could not continue north, nor could it completely encircle the North Port.

The North Harbor will still be able to maintain logistics and will not be reduced to an isolated city, and Castre's side will be able to fight the enemy army with the defense of the North Harbor.

Victory, the enemy will not be able to attack for a long time, and the combined forces of the two principalities, after heavy losses, are likely to retreat under pressure from all sides, and Castel's army will even have a chance to wait for an opportunity to counterattack.

Defeat would lead to the destruction of the city, and the Castel family would probably become history.

In addition, Charlotte also made a few suggestions, but it was not about how to defend it, but to take the poor people of the diving streets outside the North Harbor into the inner city in time, or evacuate directly to the north.

The nobles did not object, and many of them did not really care about these poor people, and only regarded it as Charlotte's kindness.

Charlotte does have this in mind, but it's not always the case.

Expanding the North Port has been an idea that has existed in her mind since she succeeded to the throne, but if she wants to expand the North Port, she must first demolish the large area of slum shallow water street on the outskirts of the North Port.

The demolition of Repulse Street is a big project, and the Beigang City Hall has mentioned many times in previous reports that there is a lot of resistance to doing this, and there are many hidden conflicts of interest, but this war may be a good opportunity.

An offensive and defensive battle, enough to shut up those who are against it.

It is worth mentioning that when discussing the plan, the reinforcements mentioned by Charlotte were not mentioned by the nobles.

Or to put it another way, although Charlotte swore that there would be reinforcements on her side, the nobles didn't really take it, or ...... And didn't take it to heart.

What regained their confidence was the political situation in the Crescent, the "incriminating evidence" of the Three Princes exposed by Charlotte, and the difficult terrain of North Harbor, not the reinforcements she promised.

In the eyes of many nobles, a girl who was born in Boulder and did not have too deep communication with other noble families, the so-called strong reinforcements are at most just some mercenaries, in order to reassure everyone.

And the only mercenaries they could think of were those mercenary groups in the East Yunette Black Lands.

Although there are many powerful mercenary groups in East Yunate, the hiring is also sky-high, and many times those real transcendent mercenary groups do not ask for money, but corresponding transcendent materials.

Castel is rich, but lacks access to transcendent materials, and the only transcendent material he can get his hands on is Mithril.

But Mithril also depends on the stock.

At a time when the northern rebellion and the connection between the silver mining cities were severed, and the situation in the northern land was unclear, the nobles did not think that Charlotte could really hire those powerful extraordinary mercenary groups.

The transcendent materials of the North Harbor may not be enough for the consumption of defending the city, how can it be possible to hire mercenaries again?

In their opinion, Charlotte could only add some defenders to the Northlands at best.

The plan was set, and Charlotte finally made the decision.

And the nobles also took action, making final preparations for the imminent war......
