Chapter 360: Unifying Positions

Beilin closed his eyes. Fingers knocked on the table and really thought about it. Then dial the city lord of Starko, you have done a good job, but if there is such a thing in the future, you still have to inform me as soon as possible. ”

The city lord of Norstaco heard the warning in his words, and immediately bowed his head and said, "Yes, Lord Governor."

Lorraine continued: "General Larry. Regardless of whether those men wanted to defect to us or not, the defense on our side could not be relaxed, and the remaining two brigades were also transferred to the border, and at the same time 3,000 city defense troops were drawn from the northern and central cities to reinforce them south

General Larry stood up and gave a military salute, and said respectfully, "Yes, Lord Governor." That's why I've come to you, my lord, and allow me to go to Crony City to command the southern armies

Lorraine looked at his excited face and couldn't help but smile. Knowing that this general was worried that his position was unstable and would be replaced by others, he was eager to make meritorious contributions.

But on second thought, he is also a battle-hardened battle. It is not a bad thing to have such an experienced general in charge.

So, he nodded and said, "I agree." The general is free to act at the front. As soon as you feel that the situation is not good, you will attack them. Even if they come to us, squatting at the gate of our yard with such a ferocious big dog, we Ne people will not be at ease. ”

General Larry laughed and said, "Yes, I understand what you mean. I immediately set about making a battle plan. Just in case. ”

Lorraine: "Hmm. sighed, and then stood up. "General Larry, your task is to ensure that there is no chaos on the border, this is the premise.

If you want to attack and you don't have enough troops, you can postpone the plan by a month, and I can borrow two legions from the Eastern Province, and if I want to destroy them, I will have to wipe them out in one fell swoop. ”

General Larry snapped his heels, snapped, gave a military salute, and said loudly, "Yes." My lord, I'll be out now

Lorraine also raised his hand, returned a military salute seriously, and said, "Good work general." ”

General Larry blinked quietly and shook off in a very fashionable way: "In the service of the Empire."

Lorraine turned his head and said, "Norsdako City Lord." I'll hold a plenary meeting to discuss this in a moment, and if you don't have to rush back, stay and attend." Yes, sir. With General Larry in charge, I don't have to rush back

Lorraine spoke to the door of the Victorian office and said, "Susan." ”

The fat aunt from the secretarial class soon appeared at the door.

Lorraine said, "Inform Lord Angus." Convene a meeting of officials from various departments. General Larry, you can come out when you are ready, and you don't have to come and say goodbye to me again. Lord Norstako, you can also go down and rest for a while.

When the two of them went out, Lorraine patted Adele on the shoulder and said, "Dale, you call Nicole, and call Leo and Vera back, just say something big, maybe we have to play a big game." ”

Adele also knew that the matter was urgent, stood up and flicked the corner of her skirt neatly, and said, "Okay, I know." ”

Seeing that Lorraine's face was not good, she couldn't help but smile, gently pressed it to Lorraine, touched his cheek with her right hand, and said gently: "Don't worry, we've all survived more troublesome things than this." ”

Lorraine pressed Adele's hand, looked up and smiled at Adele, and said, "Well, I know, it's a big deal to destroy them." We have picked hundreds of thousands of Almohad troops, and we still care about these characters. ”

"Hee-hee, this is our Lorraine. ”

After saying that, he turned around. brought a gust of incense and walked out quickly.

The Angus Administrative Assistant is on business. As soon as I heard Lorraine say that there was a half-orc tribe of 10,000 people on the border, he was shocked and drew most of the paper, and immediately threw the pen in his hand and grabbed people all over the office building to notify the meeting.

The door to the conference room kept being opened, and the number one of the officials in Nedel City rushed into the conference room one by one, these people were still confused, and Angus only informed them that there was an emergency meeting, without explaining the reason.

Angus sat in his seat, his face furrowed. As the great steward of Nyan. Angus has always been very steady, and he can't be angry.

Seeing that Angus is also worried now, the officials are now like carrying a rabbit. The heart and liver are pounding and beating. Could it be that Lord Lorraine is addicted to copying his family, and he has to cut off a few heads this time?

One of them finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked eagerly, "Angus butler, what's wrong?" How to recruit everyone in a hurry. ”

Angus was awakened from his stupor, and when he looked up, he saw that the man and a half were already seated in the conference seat. He touched his bare head and sighed. Then he said in a deep voice: "Colleagues. A large tribe of more than 10,000 orcs has appeared on the border, and the situation is urgent."

There was a sound of inhalation at the conference table.

Everyone shouted anxiously. Said: "Ah! Could it be that the autumn hunt of those half-beasts has begun? Hurry up and mobilize, mobilize the order."

"It's just that the troops on the southern front are not enough. There will continue to be a half-orc tribe heading north. That's when the southern front was dangerous

"Hey, where is General Larry? Why hasn't General Larry arrived yet?"

"According to the scale of previous years, plus this, the tribe that suddenly appeared, 10,000 troops is not enough. ”

"Excuse me, Grand Duke Julius

Angus listened to their shouting getting louder and louder, stood up and waved his hands, and said in a deep voice:

"Colleagues, steady.

It's not that simple, and everyone will know later. ”

At this moment, the door on the other side of the conference room opened, and Lorraine, Catherine, and Adele walked out first, and the city lord of Nostaco followed closely behind Lorraine.

Angus and the other officials below stood up to greet Lorraine.

Lorraine, along with Catherine and Adele, pulled out their chairs, sat down in their seats, and waved their hands. "Sit down, Lord Norstacto." You're sitting with General Larry. ”

After a hula stool sounded, all the officials below sat down, and then looked at Lorraine with blank eyes.

Lorraine smiled and said, "Master Norstako." Let me tell you about the situation. ”

"Yes, Dalu," the Lord of Norstaco stood up. Then I briefly introduced the situation to everyone.

After he had finished explaining the current situation and sat down again, the officials below all looked at each other and pondered. For a while, the conference room looked very dull.

"Hell, if only there was a cigarette. Lorraine sighed inwardly, glanced at the people at the conference table, and added, "General Larry has invited himself to go south to the border, and this is the case, I want to hear your opinion." Shall we fight or draw?"

Still no one spoke, and the scene was a little cold for a while. Angus looked around at everyone, finally looked at the city lord of Norstako, and said, "Lord Norstako, I don't understand why the tribe called Abendan said that it wants to join us?"

Nosdarko smiled bitterly and said, "Lord Angus, I won't tell you anything, I don't know. I once asked the orc messengers, and they were just playing dumb.

Later, I also knocked on the side to induce them. These guys are very shrewd. They didn't say a word, and I sent to buy their messengers. These bastards, take the money and play dumb. ”

Angus pondered for a moment and said, "So we don't know their motive for doing this?"

Nostako smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, my lord, the lower official is derelict in his duties. ”

When the officials heard this, they couldn't help but exchange glances with each other. They all scolded in their hearts: this damn grass

Lorraine waved his hand and said, "It's not your fault, we have never been able to figure out the situation in the orc territory. That's why I'm calling everyone to the meeting, we don't know why, so we can only discuss countermeasures at the moment. ”

One of the officials below looked around, and then said in a loud voice: "My lord, whatever they are here for, they are orcs, they have a lot of them, and they are on the border now. I think that's enough, these orcs are already a threat to our safety. We should destroy them quickly. ”

Lorraine glanced at the man, silent, and then swept his gaze over the other people's faces.

I saw that everyone else nodded along with him.

Another official next to him also said, "yes." My lord, we can't tell if they are here to deceive them, the wolf ambition of the half-orcs, we Naian people have suffered enough in the past few hundred years.

If they had come to give the orcs who were about to plunder us, and had not taken this opportunity to destroy them, it would have been a disaster when the orc army arrived. ”

The officials immediately whispered.

Many of them agreed. They turned to look at Lorraine, speculating on Lorraine's attitude.

Generally speaking, after the following people expressed their positions, Shangguan would unconsciously show a little attitude. Like nodding and shaking your head, smiling and black-faced. The following people can revise the opinions of this item according to these and maintain the same position as the superiors.

But they were disappointed to see that Lorraine still had a thoughtful expression, no expression on her face, and put her fingers together on the table.

Neither Catherine nor Adele spoke. Catherine frowned and thought, and Adele tapped her fingers on the table little by little. After a moment of silence, someone finally raised a different opinion, and one coughed and said, "I think we should make contact with them, if they really come to us." Wouldn't we be able to take advantage of them?

Isn't it in our interest to use these orcs to attack those orcs who are heading north to raid outside the border?"

Another interface said: "I think it's good to get in touch, use it if you can use it, if you can't use it, you can destroy them, and it's not bad for a few days." Of course. Wouldn't it be a wonderful thing if they could work for us and let the orcs fight the orcs?

What's more, we need to gather troops to destroy them, and we also need preparation time, these times. We can't just do nothing, can we?"

"Also, our troops may not be enough" The deputy military chief scratched his head in distress at this time, and said: "According to what the city lord of Nosdako said, conservative estimates that the other side has at least four thousand soldiers, and if they work hard, it is possible to raise six thousand."

We have mobilized all our strength, and we can probably have 12,000 soldiers, but this will take at least a month to prepare, and in this month's time, the number of concubines will be born, what are we going to do?

What's more, although in the field, our army can guarantee the defeat of the orcs, but their tactics are deleted"

He paused, then looked at the crowd. "Their tactics, I think everyone knows. If you can beat it, you can fight, and if you can't beat it, you can run.

Once these thousands of people are dispersed, it will be a great harm to the entire south, and it will be difficult to get rid of them, in that case, we must deliberately maintain a force of about 10,000 troops on the southern front, and we must also send troops to sweep them up, which is also very difficult for us in Nai'an. ”

Lorraine nodded and said, "Lord Serian is right, this is also the situation I am most worried about, fighting head-on, we are not afraid of them." But if they grab and run, we don't have much at our disposal. Tell me what you did, Lord Serrian

Serian said, "My lord, I think. We should talk to them, but at the same time we must mobilize with all our might, with the goal of destroying them.

Negotiate with them to stabilize them and gain time, and at the same time, we will not guard against opening the conditions high. If they agree to break up and co-opt and use it entirely for us, wouldn't that be the case?

If they don't agree, those half-orc soldiers will run away, and their tribe of more than 10,000 people will not be able to run, and they will be wiped out in an instant. ”

Lorraine turned her head to look at Catherine and Adele, both girls nodded slightly at Lorraine, in fact, Lorraine, Catherine and Adele had already discussed the question of how to deal with these orcs.

As the old saying goes, on the side of the couch, how can you allow others to sleep newly, Li Yu, the unlucky child, gave his wife to the boss of the Song Gang to play, and cuckolded all the way. Pretending to be a grandson, even so, in the end, it wasn't the pair of big brothers who took the field. The last glass of wine was sent to the crematorium. It is said to have been verified by the ancient brick family. By the way, the brick family at that time was called a beast, but it was also quite a powerful admiration.

If it is not my race, its heart will be different, and the tribes on the border will be counted, those people still have use value, and if they are all killed, they have knives, guns and brothers, then it is no longer a hidden danger but a real threat.

These orcs, the wilters of this world, can climb down when they need you. Lick your tongue clean of your feet that don't care to step on shit.

And when they don't need you, they will definitely come to rob you of your money, rob your woman, and then give you a knife, or worse, take you back as a slave.

Leo said it all. A dead orc is a good orc.

Roosevelt said: "This means that the slaughter of the Indian tribes is inevitable and ultimately beneficial, and I do not want to go too far to say that only dead Indians are good, but I believe that one of the old good Indians is dead, and I am not willing to inquire into the circumstances of the first death."

Vera's attitude was the simplest, she rolled up her sleeves, and immediately shouted: "Young master, who do you say let's cut." ”

Lorraine and they decided to prepare with both hands, and peace talks were also to be discussed, but those orcs had to fully accept Lorraine's terms.

As for these conditions, Lorraine has already discussed with Leo and Vera, and now in terms of the ability to bankrupt people, Leo and Vera can already be called experts, plus Lorraine is such a master. In the eyes of Catherine and Adele, those orcs would never agree to the conditions.

Catherine's words said that it was no different from exterminating their people.

Lorraine herself knows that there is little chance of being negotiated, but negotiating peace is two different things. In the history class of Luo Mo's last life, the relationship between the Central Plains Dynasty and the northern nomads can be clearly written

This battle was almost inevitable for Lorraine, but Serrian, the deputy military officer, was right when he said that this battle would not be prepared. If it is not fought well, it will leave a big hidden danger to the border of Nai'an, and it will not be able to survive in peace for at least three or two years. How to make sure that during the coming large-scale attack by the orcs, these orcs can be wiped out in one fell swoop. That's what Lorraine really thinks about.

Lorraine asked the officials for their opinions, but it was really just to reach a consensus. There will be no better way among these people.

But now it seems that the appearance of these people is basically satisfactory to Lorraine, and there is no brains to convince people with virtue.

In fact, this is also very easy to understand, the Ruman Empire is the most important military merit, the greater the military merit, the higher the reward, if you don't fight and don't kill, where does the military merit come from?

Don't look at most of these people, they are civil officials, and they have won battles. The merits of the civilian officials do not have to be less than the soldiers who worked on the front line, and if you add a well-coordinated comment with strong dispatch and coordination, the reward is great.

Especially in a border province like Naian, where there is constant war, civil officials are more belligerent than military officials, and they don't need to go up and get knives desperately, hide in the rear, stilt their feet, drink wine, eat meat, and flirt with beauty, of course, they desperately praise the greatness of the war.

Defeated, the promotion has money to get. If you are defeated, you don't have to take responsibility. Is there anything cheaper in the world?

Just like this time, if this half-orc tribe is eliminated, the battle report will be written with a hook: Nearly 20,000 half-orcs will be eliminated. Ten thousand and one and nineteen thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine are both nearly twenty thousand

It would be the most glorious victory of the Ruman Empire in recent years, and it was possible for the emperor to give away one or two hereditary hats, so it was no wonder that the table was clamoring for war.

Lorraine nodded, straightened up, and said, "Very good, I think our positions are all unified."

Let's make preparations with both hands, those orcs are willing to talk, let's talk to them, but at the same time, we can't relax our combat readiness. Angus.

The officials knew that this was Lord Lorraine who had begun to issue the battle order, and they all sat up straight at the moment.
