De La Heel had just escaped from the dispute between the ministers, but he was immediately in the spotlight because of Pedi's question.

But the young elven general did not look very restrained, and after saluting gracefully, he said, "Baron Hanina is right, the city council of Suke City has officially passed the bill of 'using forbidden arts to fight the undead legions in the city', and your sister Her Royal Highness Penny signed the relevant bill immediately after the meeting!"

"Yes!" Pedi nodded, her gaze falling on Hanina, "what do you think?"

Hanina naturally knew the meaning of the king's question here, and she looked at the ground with her eyelids drooping slightly, "The current situation in Suker City cannot be compared to the current Herion Territory... Although the matter in Suk City is relatively tricky, the size of the actual legion is less than 10,000 in the end, and the undead legion that we have detected so far in the Herion Territory is nearly 200,000!"

"Most of them are just ghouls and spirits with no fighting power. Cowlier couldn't help but add, "Besides, don't you think that because of this, we should use more effective means of attack?"

"I don't think blowing up the city of Herien is an effective means of attack. Baron Hannina took a rude step back away from where Cowlier was.

"The city of Herion is an empty city at this moment, and most of the citizens of the city have retreated near the Northern Pass long before this unrest began, and our ally, the Duchy of Twak, has guaranteed their safety. Morinda also began to explain, "There will be no more than 50,000 people who will actually stay in the city of Herion..."

"If we don't make changes and move forward at the pace we are now, Fort Herien will be in ruins sooner or later. Morinda said with a sense of deliberation, "Unless we storm the blockade of the Undead Legion at any cost, then we will pay a huge price in casualties." ”

"But..."

"Baron Hanina!" Pedy's voice was serious, "look straight into your heart and don't let unnecessary thoughts cloud your judgment." His majestic voice rang out as the golden holy power on his body flowed through the room.

The next moment, the holy power on Hanina's body began to surround continuously.

When a trace of black evil energy escaped from Hannina's body and followed the power of Pedi, Pedi glanced at the crowd and said, "We are now under the shroud of the power of death... I warned you a long time ago that you must always be aware of whether your thoughts are affected by evil. He looked at Willy Jon, "Send a message back to Crewe City on my orders, we need more paladins and magicians. ”

"In addition, more shields will be set up in the camp, and a special paladin law enforcement team will be organized to check on every warrior who comes down from the battlefield!" Pedi looked around at everyone present, "From now on, including you, you must be baptized every twelve hours to ensure that you are not corrupted by evil powers. ”

"I'm very sorry, Your Majesty. Baron Hanina lowered her head to hide the shame on her face, and a slight tremor throughout her body showed her indescribable mood at the moment.

"You may need a quiet place to rest for a while, and I need a full intelligence officer. Pedi didn't pursue the matter.

"I'm so sorry!" Baron Hanina apologized again and turned his head to leave.

Out of the corner of his eye, Draxier looked at Hanina and walked away, and said: "After entering the Herion Territory, evil has become particularly active, although the invasion of evil energy just now will not cause any harm to ourselves, but it will subconsciously change our thoughts. Before this war began, I warned you not to let your mind be in a state of confusion, otherwise it would be easy for evil to invade!"

"My mind is like an ocean, and the evil energy invades and can only be drowned by the giant wolf. Collier subconsciously straightened his chest, "Only those who are not strong-willed will be seduced by whispers in their ears." His words seemed to mean something.

"No, anyone with a strong will will show flaws. "Especially people like Baron Hanina, who deal with information every day, and the thoughts in their heads can become very confusing and complicated depending on the information they receive... According to your Uen University statistics, at least 10 percent of the former Imperial Guard officers are mentally ill in middle age, especially those in high-ranking positions. ”

"Do you elves like these things?" said Collier, looking at Drachier strangely.

"What?" said Drahir.

"It's research... For example, the question you just mentioned... The mental illness of the guards is really boring research report!" Collier smiled noncommittally, "Are you studying such a boring thing with almost endless vitality?"

"A long life needs something to reconcile, doesn't it?" Drahir casually leaned against a large wooden box, "In the last three hundred years, there has been nothing more interesting than studying humans. ”

"You..."

"Your conversation is so boring right now!" Peddy interrupted the two of them, looked at Morinda and said, "Continuing with what you just said, I need to listen to your plan to help me make a decision." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. Morinda nodded humbly, "We just said that we used the city of Herion as bait to lure the leader of the undead legion in front of us, Udi Kubo, to enter with his elite, and then blow them to pieces with explosives... The dregs that can no longer be resurrected!"

The old orc looked at Drahir, "My original plan was to ask the Twak Leader for help and prepare for this by transporting supplies and mages through the Northern Passage, but General Drahir's proposal may be better, but it will take a risk." ”

"Judging from the whole battle, it is obviously the right decision to exchange the sacrifice of Herien City for the early end of this war. Pedi did not veto Morinda's proposal.

In fact, many people present, including Peidi, had thought of this plan, but none of them put it forward. Therefore, after Morinda put forward this plan just now, there were basically no opponents. However, this does not mean that Pedi will agree to this plan, after all, there are other ways to go in front of Pedi now.

The bombing of the city of Herion and the destruction of the city in war are two different things entirely. As a king, Pedi needs to think about not only things at the level of war, but also issues beyond war.

"Let's all go down and rest first, and tomorrow morning, when Sir Marne has retired from the front, he will gather all the officers above the corps level to the command tent to discuss the matter. As he spoke, Pedi looked at the waning moon in the dark night sky, which was obscured by the haze, "I need more input to help me make a decision." ”

"Allow me to retire, then. "Morinda isn't in a hurry.

"It's always exhausting after a day of fighting. "Drahiel carried his longbow on his back and disappeared faster than the Morinda did.

When Collier was about to leave, Pedi ordered, "Cowlier stays." ”

"Your Majesty. The old magician looked back at him with a hint of pride in his cloudy old eyes.

Pedi didn't care about the proud old mage, and the King from Rory-Grida knight cleverly moved a retractable chair to the boulder where Pedi was. When Pedi lay down comfortably and let out a few sulky breaths, he asked, "If I issue a king's decree now, can I assemble a paladin regiment within a month?"

"Theoretically, yes. "Collier is now in charge of all the cadets in the kingdom, including the training of paladins in the church, and is also responsible for coordinating the organization of paladins and magicians within the kingdom.

Not all members of the Paladin Legion are paladins, and their true paladins will not exceed two hundred at most, and all the others are composed of regular knights and their followers. (The same is true of the original Imperial Paladin Legion, whose number of paladins will not exceed two thousand, which seems to have been explained before, and it has been forgotten for too long.) ）

"Paladins who are now serving in the army cannot be counted, well... I mean recruit another group of paladins, or let the young people who are training in the church graduate early. "Pedi put forward a condition.

"It's a bit of a problem, after all, it takes at least ten years for a paladin to develop. Collier couldn't help but remind: "Your Majesty, paladins are not used to fight a war of attrition. ”

"Don't worry, I know the role of the paladin better than you do, I'm just thinking about the possibility of Drahir proposing that plan..."Pedi said to himself as he lay on the back chair and stretched out his hands, his eyes fixed on the fingers under the night sky as if he could grasp the sky, "This war with the undead may last for a long time, years, decades, and for a long time in the future, the main enemy of both elves and orcs will be the undead army." ”

After saying this, the young king withdrew his hands, was silent for a few seconds, and then turned his head and looked at the old mage with a pair of eyes hidden in darkness and asked, "Can you understand what I mean?"

Collier was stunned by the question, and after holding back for a few seconds, he said embarrassedly: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for being stupid..."

"Yes!" Pedi continued after seeing that the other party did not look like a fake, and his face flashed with displeasure, "We need to end the war in the Herion Territory as soon as possible... After all, the Iruk Territory is also being ravaged by the Undead Legion, and the Principality of Suluk needs our army to come to the rescue!"

On the morning of the 24th,

After a night of fighting, King Cruria** pushed his line forward for another ten miles.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, today's command unexpectedly issued a defensive order to all fronts. Then he urgently summoned the commanders of each corps to the command post of the Chinese army to hold a pre-war meeting.

The content of the discussion at the meeting was the question raised by the old orc Morinda last night.

The originally planned two-hour meeting was clearly not enough. Because there was no unity of opinion, some people agreed with Morinda's plan, but there were also people who opposed this crazy plan.

And Pedy Reagan, as king, apparently did not want to settle the controversy with orders.

The quarrel continued until three o'clock in the afternoon, during which time Sir Sir Serra, who held the title of marshal as commander-in-chief of the army, only asked some specific questions about the implementation of the plan and did not rush to take a stand.

When the officers were arguing, Sir Sir Cilla Marne said in the expectant gaze of everyone: "The undead legion led by Herion is much stronger than we expected, and in the past ten days of fighting, our five regular legions and the northern garrison of Harrence Heights, as well as the two legions of the Ukalo Mountain Forest Battalion, have a total of more than 40,000 soldiers, against nearly 100,000 undead. ”

"Although the battle did not meet the pre-established battle plan, it was still quite smooth... It's going very well!" Sila Marne looked at Elven Advisor Drahiel, "If the Legion of the Dead only has such combat power, it will not be able to threaten the foundation of the kingdom at all, and it is only a matter of time before we defeat them completely, and there is no need to destroy the city of Herion." ”

"You think the undead legion is weak because most of the undead legions you encounter are made up of ghouls and spirits, two undead creatures at the bottom of the undead troupe, and they are not even seen in the real undead army. "In the last ten days of fighting, our troops should have encountered undead creatures armed with weapons and wearing the same armor as us, and I'm sure you're well aware of the fighting power they have gathered together," Draxier explained. ”

Drahir and Syrah-Marne looked at each other, "There are also the Infected, the Iron Guards, and a handful of beast-type undead creatures, whose combat prowess you've seen... The real legion of the undead, these monsters are just the most regular combat units, and the more difficult ones to deal with are the war fortresses made by the necromancers, giant alien beasts, etc. ”

"And more importantly, with the legion of the undead who have banshees, the resurrected corpses can retain their sense of battle before they were alive... Colleague, they can make necromancers in bulk!"

The tone in which Draxiel introduced him seemed to be talking about an extremely ordinary trivial matter, and his tone was flat and seemed a little indifferent. Because, he has introduced these words countless times, but these people in front of him are always quickly forgotten.

At this time, Baron Hanina, who remained silent throughout the meeting, said, "Our spies have detected in the outer areas of the Karen Territory... Ahem..."She seemed to speak in such a hurry that she was choked by her hoarse voice, she coughed vigorously a few times to clear her throat, and continued with a little embarrassment:

"Our spies have spotted hordes of necromancers in Karen and undead who speak our language and wear knightly armor... They even know how to build fortifications, build tall fortresses, just like us ... What's more, their soldiers can stay in combat forever without resting or eating, without worrying about running out of stamina!"

"But that's not the case with the legion of the undead in front of us. Sira Marne remained cautious, "We don't need to think too much about the war of the Undead Legion led by Herion, and there is no need to pay attention to these complicated issues, we just need to follow the current offensive plan, and the victory will be ours sooner or later." She pointed to the place in the tent that had not been marked at all on the west side of the map, "As for the war in the Karen Territory, it may have been years away. ”

These words of Sira Marne are rejecting the plan proposed by this Morinda Morinda.

As the Marshal of the Kingdom's battlefield, her opinion is crucial, and her statement has everyone's attention, including Pedi.
