"Alright, we're all here, let's start the meeting. ”

As one of the lords of the North, when Rhodes was the last to enter the Great Tent, General Cohen opened the entire military council.

In the huge white military tent, there was a huge long table, and as the commander-in-chief of the legion, Grand Duke Cohen sat in the middle of the long table, and the others sat in order according to their rank and the size of their territory. This is not like the tent of the lords of the north, there is a round table there, and the lords of the north sit on an equal footing, here, the hierarchy is clear, and even the right to speak is determined according to the size of the title and strength.

Rhodes sits with Edmund, Lord of Iceland, Varrell with Lord Deguel of Snowrock, and Cyrill, Lord of Overwatch, sits next to Grand Duke Cohen, who holds the highest title in the entire Great Horde except Cohen. At the same time, his territory is also the largest in the entire North.

"Yes, Erlengrad, we have been besieging it for two months, all kinds of supplies have been prepared, spring is coming soon, I think it is necessary for us to have an all-military meeting to decide on the next move. By order of the Ice Queen, in two weeks, Kislev's army would arrive at the Eren Gladsi Gate, and the Queen already had enough ships to blockade the city's harbor. So, if nothing else, in half a month, we will launch a general assault on the city. ”

Cohen sat on the throne and said enthusiastically.

"Rejoice, brothers, we are coming to the end of this journey, the Snow Queen is merciful, she wants to end this war before spring comes, so that you can return to your respective territories, the fields need to be cultivated, and the soldiers cannot leave their homes for too long. After all, I know, we don't have many standing troops. There are very few people under each of you who really only fight wars and do not plough the land. Except, of course, a certain Frontier Lord. ”

Cohen said, staring at Rhodes, who was sitting at the very end of the long table. Everyone understood what this meant, as the lord of the North, Rhodes was a strange man, unlike others, who recruited local farmers and civilians to fight, but hired the northern Norscans as his men, and no one knew how the lord of Blackhammer Keep managed these barbarians in the early days, training them into a true regular army......

"How are we going to attack Erlengrad?

Earl Cyril asked. He didn't want to listen to the Grand Duke's nagging, wasting time, and wanted to get straight to the point. Like many of the Lords of the North, they prefer to keep things simple and straightforward. And not beating around the bush like the Southern Lords.

"Storm, brother, you have also seen the terrain of the East Gate, there is no other way, the walls here are high and thick, and there is only one road in the valley to reach the city. The gate must be broken down before our men can enter the city. You don't have to think about the sewers, the weakness of the city wall or anything, I have already sent someone to investigate, and there is no weakness in the defense of Errengrad City. Either besiege the city until it runs out of food, or it can only be stormed, and the Ice Queen's order is to storm. She would never allow a traitor to survive in it for that long. ”

Cohen exclaimed, gesturing to the obvious coordinates of the gate on the map.

"The rebels, they have heavy weapons, the tower's ballistae can directly destroy our catapults and siege vehicles. Cohen continued, "So, once the battle starts, we must rush to the gates as fast as we can, and take the gates and towers. ”

"Death squads?"

Aubrey laughed. Trina

"It cannot be said that this will be a brave force that will make his due contribution to the stability and long-term peace and stability of Kislev. Cohen said, a pair of sly eyes that kept rolling until they finally settled on Rod. They were far apart, but Rhodes could also feel the deep malice on the Grand Duke's face. Indeed, he stole his limelight during this time...... As a general, if he can't even establish his prestige, then what qualifications does he have to lead an army?

"Lord Rhodes, I intend to entrust you with this difficult task. ”

Cohen stared at Rhodes and said calmly. This calmness was felt with deep malice, and not only Rod felt it, but everyone else felt it too.

Edmund, Lord of Ice Castle, couldn't sit still at first, he stood up and said loudly—

"Your Excellency the Grand Duke, this is our common task, it can't be assigned to a specific person, Rhodes doesn't have that many men, does he?"

Edmund's loud voice did not make the other lords on the field follow and respond, after all, it is not about himself, since the cannon fodder is not himself, why support others, compared to the lord of a small Black Hammer Fort and the grand duke of a kingdom, it is easy to weigh which is more important.

While Cohen's arrangement was clearly unreasonable, most people were silent. Edmund was just Lingran, equally indignant at the indifference of the lords of the North.

Obviously, if it weren't for the bloody battles of lords like him and Rhodes on the front lines, these northern lords would not have been able to enjoy peace in their own territory.

"Yes, yes, yes. He doesn't have so many men, but Rhodes is the son of Thor, and you've seen the fighting power of the Norscans under him during this time, and the first round of sieges requires the most elite troops, and I don't think there's a better fit in the legion than this one, isn't it?"

Cohen replied, his eyes still fixed on the Lord of Blackhammer on the other side.

Killing people with a knife, using the enemy, and getting rid of the nails around him, the means are so clumsy, this is not a clever method, and all the focus is once again focused on Rod.

"Your Excellency, although you are the Grand Duke of Kislev, I must say a few words, what you have done is an insult to your reputation, this is a war for all of us, and you cannot put all the burden on one person's shoulders. The more capable the person, the more cherished, your approach is nothing more than to let the troops of Black Hammer Fort be the vanguard, however, the highest casualty rate is also the vanguard, if we lose this assault force, and then attack the city, we will kill and wound more people. Like you said, they are all commoners and farmers, they all have their own fields to cultivate, and they all have wives and children waiting for them to go back. ”

Seeing the Grand Duke targeting Rhodes like this, Caroline couldn't help but stand up and speak bluntly. You can see the distorted expression on Cohen's face, the Frost Witch is the Ice Queen's subordinate, if necessary, the Ice Queen can even skip the lord and contact the Frost Witch directly, Cohen knows that although the young witch in front of him is not of high rank and position, but he can't do anything with her, and the rebels of Errengrad have caused the queen's anger because of the Frost Witch who imprisoned the queen......

Just as Cohen was thinking about how to scare the little witch who didn't know the height of the sky, urgent information came from outside the tent. The kingdom's cavalry, emblazoned with the Ice Flower mark on their chests, broke into the tent and delivered an urgent letter directly to Grand Duke Cohen. In front of everyone, Duke Kislev opened the letter, and a few simple and scribbled lines came into view......
