But when Greene Turn's point out the other way, the whole room was filled with exclamations of astonishment, staring at the route he had drawn as if he were seeing a porcupine climbing a mountain.

"Starting from the Iron Cliff Mountain Gorge, crossing the Central Highlands, and then passing through the southeast corner—how could they think of rushing into the territory of Hantu City from here unless they were crazy?!" an officer couldn't help but shout: "The Radiant Cross is above, this is simply incredible, no one with a brain can do it!"

Although the officers around him did not stand up to refute it directly like him, or did not have the courage to refute the chief lieutenant general, they were also silent, obviously quite convinced by this view.

The reason is very simple, because the area of the southeast corner is a "tentacle" that the Kingdom of Turin has gradually extended into the interior of the land since a hundred years ago, and is used to house those retired soldiers and wandering knights who have contributed to the war in the land. For a hundred years, the former military camp has become a town, and the watchtower in the wilderness has become a village.

In short, this land is almost an "iron wall" composed of fortresses and fortresses, and there are large and small wooden forts or stone barracks everywhere, and the farmers who live here are the most qualified veterans as long as they take up arms!

One can imagine the hopelessness of any enemy attacking the southeastern corner - fortresses large and small in the countryside everywhere they went, and even if they conquered the enemy, they would face endless resistance. Not to mention looting, even a grain of grain. A bucket of well water may pay the price of blood.

Meantime. The area is also hilly. The terrain is broken, easy to defend and difficult to attack - on the contrary, there is not much terrain around the Twin Towers Fortress that can be defended, and once the castle is captured, most of the city will be exposed to the enemy, and there will be no place to retreat.

"Nothing is impossible, and after all conditions have been removed, the final answer, however unbelievable, is absolutely correct - as long as these barbarians want to become the kings of the land. They must take Hantu City, and if they don't attack from the Twin Towers, the southeast corner is the gateway for them to enter Hantu City!"

"But ......"

"Nothing but that, ladies and gentlemen—I know you want to say that this place is full of fortresses and watchtowers, and we can rely on those old barracks and small fortresses to form a defensive chain to keep the enemy at bay, and no one with a little brain will choose to attack here...... But!"

Green Turn's head suddenly raised his head, with a bit of helplessness in his eyes: "Don't forget, they have 300,000 people!"

Green's sighs echoed in the conference room over and over again, and the generals who had just been unimpressed swallowed their saliva, widened their eyes and closed their mouths. It was like an ostrich and craned its neck.

"Everyone can return to their respective barracks, and within half a month I will see the banners of the five legions assembled in the wilderness thirty miles outside of Hantu City. The roster you each handed in, one less hundred-man team I will ask you!" Greene Turn, said in a deep voice, "We have about a month, and if we are lucky, we will have to fight on the battlefield and build a defensive front at the same time!"

"The Guards will be the vanguard of their legions, followed by the rest of the legions - I will inform you of their respective sequences when you arrive. From now on, the whole land will be under martial law, and two flag regiments will be left in the town to be responsible for the vigilance work, and the rest of the army must arrive at their respective positions on time, and there must be no mistakes!"

There was no hint of affection on the face of the chief lieutenant, and the officers either nodded in awe or simply nodded in salute, and left the conference room with their orders - they had to return to their respective regimental quarters as soon as possible.

"Leaving so soon?" Before the black-haired knight could take a step, the chief lieutenant immediately stopped him, "Don't be in such a hurry, Viscount Edward Witwood. ”

"Why, our chief lieutenant general has another task assigned to me, the 'little chief flag officer'?"

"You guessed it - while I think you might think I'm joking, I'm serious. Greene Turn's sweeping majesty just now was quite serious, so that Edward had to restrain a somewhat mocking smile: "I have a very important task for you. ”

"And it's a task that only you can do, Edward. "I need you to lead your legion back to the Twin Towers and crush the 50,000 troops that are besieging that castle - if possible, they all out!"

Green Turn's eyes were quite serious, staring motionlessly at the black-haired knight in front of him. There was a brief silence in the silent meeting room.

"You don't need me, Edward Witwood. Edward finally spoke slowly, "What you need is the Radiant Cross - you better go and see it, I feel like you're not lightly ill!"

"What?"

"I'm not a god, I'm not omnipotent!" Edward finally couldn't help but roar: "I only have an army of more than 8,000 in my hands, and I have to count all the auxiliaries, there are only more than 6,000 legionnaires who can face it head-on, and it is more than enough to hold the fortress, and it is not hopeless to go out of the city to meet and defeat them, but to destroy the army of 50,000?

"I know it's a simple task, but as long as you can complete it, we can turn the current situation around, and Hantu City still has hope of holding on!" Green let out a long sigh, "Well, to put it bluntly - I'm not completely sure that I'm holding off those barbarians in the southeast corner. ”

“...... Why?"

"I'm afraid, it's as simple as that - if I lose, it's not my death that will solve the problem, and that will be the result I don't want to see. Green Turnn smiled bitterly and shrugged his shoulders very self-deprecatingly: "So even if there is even the slightest possibility of changing this situation, I will not give up." ”

Edward silently patted Green on the shoulder - he was right, this guy had too much responsibility, especially after a rebellion, and the sense of responsibility was driving him crazy, otherwise he would not have been able to make such a ridiculous request, which was enough to see how much pressure he had in his heart.

"I'll go to war with Gracchus with the Banner Legion, and I'll destroy them as much as I can - of course, the casualties will be very heavy. Edward looked him in the eye, "Don't let those soldiers die too worthless!"

"I will. Green nodded, "Thank you." ”

"I actually have selfish intentions in it—if I could, I still don't want to be called directly by you, my lord, the chief lieutenant. Edward smiled teasingly: "Compared to you, my dear Alan is more eye-catching, and fighting to protect my wife will also make me more motivated!"

With that, before Green could speak, Edward had already left the conference room. Little Goodwin, who was holding the reins of his horse, waited outside the door for a long time, and when he saw Edward come out, he hurried forward, still holding the thick account book in his arms.

"It's all sorted out, and all the legions' rosters and supplies are all on it. Little Goodwin handed it to Edward very carefully: "The rest is still in your room, and you can see it at any time." ”

"Oh...... I'm sure no, dear little Goodwin must have done a great job!" Edward patted him on the head, "Have you packed up everything, we'll leave this afternoon!"

"I'm going to the southeast corner, the guards of His Royal Highness the Duke are talking about it!" asked little Goodwin excitedly and sadly, "I heard that it is a very beautiful place, full of beautiful towns and small and exquisite manors, but we will probably not see Miss Allen and them for a long time!"

"We're not going to the southeast corner, we're going to the Twin Towers!" Before he could finish speaking, Edward had already turned on his horse: "Go and finish up with that Gracchus!" (To be continued.) )
