Section 9 Countermeasures

At the end of the call, Carl pressed a small button on the table, and the aura disappeared. Now he is the only one left here, and he is the supreme ruler here.

The Grand Master stepped out of his chamber. All the attendants outside were cautious and honestly observant, and no one knew what the Archbishop was doing, but those who were smart enough could sense the archbishop's anger in his words and deeds, and were afraid that he would accidentally let the anger burn on his head.

However, things didn't seem so bad, and the archbishop didn't take his anger out on some unlucky guy who didn't have long eyes. On the contrary, he came to the meeting room with a calm appearance, where several people had gathered waiting to see him.

"How's it going?" said Karl as he sat down on his throne and asked a man of distance. That person, no matter how he dresses or his facial features, is so ordinary that he can't even turn up a small bubble when he is thrown into the sea of people.

"There was no movement. The man replied. "Up and down, there was no trace of any troop movement. ”

"Are you sure?" asked Karl. "You don't seem to spend much time, maybe not carefully enough. ”

"Your Majesty, you can rely on my eyes for this. It is absolutely impossible for the army to be massed and mobilized without a trace. Personnel, grain, grass, horses, equipment...... These things cannot be quietly mobilized in the short term. You know, this can only be covered up, not hidden. If the royal family has any big safaris, trips or the like, then I will investigate more carefully, and the problem is that there are no events. ”

"Good work. It is important to continue to be vigilant in the future. Karl nodded, waved for the other to stand down, and then turned his gaze to the next person.

It was a middle-aged man dressed in a gorgeous cloak of gold and red, and anyone could tell from his clothes at a glance that he was a priest of the Church of the True God, and perhaps even a high-ranking priest.

Karl didn't speak, just asked with a look, and the priest just shook his head.

"There's no trace of dark magic either......" Karl whispered in a voice that he could only hear.

Ashrufat will definitely not sneak alone next time, and he can't win one-on-one. But what would he do? Ylan was right, the only way was to come back with an army, and an army strong enough to defeat Oron by force.

If he could find out where this army came from, then he could get a head start and find a way to kill this vampire?What is the likely method that Ashrufat will use to bewitch the royal family of Shem (the king has just died, and the new king has not yet ascended the throne). It's a good choice, and one that can put Oron in an embattled situation. The problem is that at the moment Shem is calm and there is no preparation for any war. Of course, as a vampire, Aerufat could also find a way to gather an undead legion, but there was no news of this. A dark magic operation of a certain magnitude could never conceal the search of the priests.

Of course, there is another possibility. That is, Ashrufat's attempt failed, and he flew away from then on. If that's the case, that's a good result...... No, it's better to be careful.

Karl turned his gaze to the last man, a knight in shining armor. It was the head of the Holy Knights, named Comer. The knight smiled when he saw Karl looking at him.

"Your Majesty, I have carried out a comprehensive inspection of the city's defenses in accordance with your request. From food reserves to city walls, weapons and soldiers. With a single order, Oron can gather 40,000 troops to cooperate with the defense of our city, and I believe we can fight against at least 100,000 troops. Your city cannot be conquered by force. Unless it's a long-running siege ......"

"A long siege, with hunger as a weapon?" Karl asked.

"But it's impossible. If anyone does do that, no country will sit idly by. So your fear of being attacked, in my opinion, is completely overwhelmed. ”

It was a bit of a faux pas, but Carl wasn't surprised. He nodded, "That's true." ”

If it's a short-term raid (with a message blockade), then it may be too late to react. But if Oren is surrounded for a long time, then no country will sit idly by.

There shouldn't be a problem...... And there's really nothing going on. Maybe I'm overthinking...... That stinky bitch was just deliberately sensational.

But he was still a little uneasy in his heart. "Strengthen the training of the army, especially to prepare them for war, I have a hunch that war is about to break out. ”

......

War is about to break out.

Although the war between the greenskins actually doesn't need a reason at all, if you have to find a reason, the tried and tested excuse of "Lao Tzu looks at you is unhappy" is the best reason to start a war, but this battle is well-founded. Or at least it looks like there's evidence.

In the heart of the Iron Claw Mountains, where the war bosses compete for supremacy, a new force emerges. A war boss known as the Blood Banner Boss appears in this area, and immediately offends the Evil Boss, who has a lot of power. To be specific, a team sent by the Extreme Evil Boss met the Blood Banner Boss's team, and the leader of the team spoke disrespectfully to the Blood Banner Boss, and then the Blood Banner Boss did something that any boss who hadn't shown off his mind would do, and bombarded the team on the spot to the street.

A handful of goblins who escaped from the battlefield in time fled back to the headquarters of the Evil Boss and told the news to the Evil Boss. In order to express his extreme contempt and indignation for this kind of immoral behavior, the Extremely Evil Boss personally led his entire tribe to rush to the Blood Banner Boss, wanting to settle the old accounts and new accounts together, and collect some interest or something by the way. He had publicly announced that he was going to stick the Blood Banner Boss's head into the Boss Staff on his back, and be neighbors with the other three rotten skulls. There is a basis for what the Evil Boss said: first, he is a very powerful and intelligent boss, and second, his tribe is more than twice as large as the Blood Banner Boss.

"Kouhu, the Blood Banner Boss actually chose this location!" the Evil Boss looked at the map provided by his subordinates. Although the Boss of the Blood Banner is a fool, he also knows how to shrink himself to a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The Blood Banner Boss's men now occupy a hill. Ahead of the Evil Boss was a rather steep road, and this road was arranged with overlapping fortifications, which were even more dangerous than Scrooge's mouth. The Evil Boss's men launched an attack, and were immediately beaten by all sorts of magic and war machines.

Change the boss, and maybe the battle will end there. After all, a frontal attack is too disadvantageous, and it is not the Greenskin's style to delay a painful battle for months or even years. The Boss of the Worst should theoretically leave with his troops, hold back for the time being, and wait for the next chance to retaliate. But this time, the Evil Boss refused to stop, because he was about to prove to his subordinates that he was a super fierce boss who was so strong that he was against the sky.

"Kouhu, does the Boss of the Blood Banner think he's just won? I'm going to chop that goblin kid to scum!" the Wicked Boss roared loudly at the gathered leaders.

"Now, which guy has any good ideas?" said the Wicked Boss with a fierce gaze at his men. It must be noted that the Blood Banner Boss's defenses are indeed very strong, and the treacherous terrain combined with fortifications and ample ranged weapons can deter even the simplest of greenskins.

"Boss, I have an idea!" a goblin shaman jumped out and offered a plan. It is a green-skinned tradition for the Orc Boss to have goblins, especially shamans, serve as advisers to him, and a good practice. Orcs are usually not very intelligent and often need some effective "reminders", while goblins are the complete opposite, they are full of ideas, but lack the courage to put them into practice.

"Since the Blood Banner Boss has put all his bow boys, shamans, and ballistas on this road, why don't we just go another way?"

"A different way?"

"Yes, since the Blood Banner Boss has arranged so many boys on this road, there must not be many boys to defend on the other roads. Let's go around in a circle, and if we go down the road from the back, we will definitely be able to beat the Blood Banner Boss!"

It's a very tempting ploy. Indeed, if the road is too well defended, then attack from another place. This hill is not the kind of terrain where there are cliffs on three sides and only one path leads to the top. In fact, it turned out that the road was the one that ran through the entire mountain. The reason why the Blood Banner Boss chose this place is that the Extremely Evil Boss moves quickly, and the Blood Banner Boss really doesn't have much time to find more favorable terrain. Of course, it may also be because the Blood Banner Boss has prepared a back road for himself, so that he can escape if the battle situation is unfavorable.

"Okay, that's it!" The Evil Boss made a final decision, "Set off for me immediately, and go around the back of the Blood Banner Boss!"

"Wait a minute, boss. The goblin who had just proposed this plan hastened to add. "You can't just go around it. ”

"Why can't rice?"

"Boss, as soon as we leave, the Blood Banner Boss will immediately find out that we are gone. By the time we get to the back, either the Blood Banner Boss will take the opportunity to run from here, or he'll move all the boys here to the back. ”

The Evil Boss immediately understood the shaman's words, and it did make sense.

"What am I going to do?" asked the Wicked Boss.

"Boss, I propose that we send half of the boys to bypass it, and the rest are here, so that the Blood Banner Boss will be blocked here!"

It was a good idea, but the Evil Boss took a moment to think about it.

"Half of the boys, maybe not enough! I want more boys! I stay here by myself, and the Boss of the Blood Banner must think that my main force is here. Then the boys who go around to the back can catch him off guard!"

"Good idea, boss!" the shaman was the first to cried. Then, one by one, the other leaders expressed their deep admiration for the boss's wisdom, skill, intelligence, and foresight.

"How many days will it take to get around?" asked one of his men.

"Two days, boss, in two days, you can beat the blood flag boss from behind!"

"Okay, I'll wait here. When the Blood Banner Boss escapes, I'm going to chop off his head with my own hands!"
