At night, inside the town hall.

Everyone has arrived.

Cross, Wendy, Serena, Ulala, Cresia, Nia, Lancelot, Gawain, Watson, Reiner, and Seti.

The 11 people formed a circle around the round table, which was also named the round table by Cross.

Cross begins by giving a brief account of last night's events with the Lich and the Red Dragon.

Regarding this incident, some of the people at the round table were involved, and the rest of the people had already heard about it, so there was not much reaction from everyone.

Of course, Gawain, who was uncomfortable without speaking, couldn't help but complain, "Your Excellency Cross always attracts strong enemies......

Later, Cross told everyone about the Bloodline's occupation of Sunset City and the current alliance between Copperhill Town and Sunset City's Bloodline.

Everyone felt sorry for Chrissia for losing Sunset City, but Chryssia herself didn't react much.

In the end, Cross told everyone present that the Silver-Eyed Demon King Sephiroth and the Seajart army were going to attack Coppermountain.

This incident shocked most of the people at the round table.

"I didn't expect to face a demon late that night!?" Gawain felt sick as he remembered his fight with the Viper that night, and instinctively put his hand on his abdomen, which had not yet healed.

Watson also began to express his opinion, "With the current number of troops and combat effectiveness of Copper Mountain Town, it is too difficult to resist the army of the Kingdom of Seayada. It's a battle between rabbits and wolves. ”

"It is said that Sephiroth commanded more than 2,000 people in Seayada, and the number of this army alone could easily conquer the town of Copperhill. Reiner added.

"I don't know anything about war or military affairs, but this time the enemy is too strong, and besides, their commander is a demon known as the Silver-Eyed Demon King. "Ulala also showed concern.

"Their commander, Sephiroth, easily captured Reinhardt's territory. In terms of strength, Reinhardt's strength is far stronger than that of Copper Mountain Town.

What's more, this Reinhardt was also a commander hailed as a military genius. Serena said this without any emotion, she was just stating the facts.

It was clear that these words were the most important thing, and everyone except Cross immediately fell into deep thought, and the meeting became silent.

Almost everyone's expressions became solemn.

This time, Copperhill Town really encountered an unprecedented disaster, and their small expectations for Lord Cross also turned into silence.

"Huh......," Gawain exhaled, he couldn't stand this high-pressure environment, "I suddenly feel that this Sephiroth is very strange, why did he occupy Copperhill Town? If you really want to kill Cross, it would be nice to send a little more powerful assassins. ”

"Gawain!"

Lancelot, who was sitting next to Gawain, squeezed Gawain hard.

"Ah...... Lancelot, I'm telling the truth. ”

"I'll tell you, Gawain. ”

As soon as Cross spoke, the meeting fell silent again.

"Sephiroth couldn't have assassinated me himself, so could any other assassin have the ability?

Of course, although he can't assassinate me, it can't be ruled out that he will give up the assassination plan, and any one of us will be the target of his assassination.

He will do whatever it takes to capture Copperhill and Sunset City.

And his reason for occupying this area is simple, it is to consolidate his rule in Klein Territory.

Besides, we had dealt a heavy blow to their forces in Blackwater, so it was only natural that he would regard us as formidable enemies.

This battle with Sephiroth was inevitable.

Since it is inevitable, we can only resist.

I have summoned everyone here in the hope that with the help of your strength, we can successfully repel a strong enemy.

If you have any ideas or strategies, you can say them. ”

"Lord Cross, I think we should try to avoid fighting with the Seatta army. ”

"Oh?" Cross set his eyes on Nia, who was the first to make the offer, "continued. ”

"If the enemy wants to attack Tongshan Town, there are only two ways to choose, one is the water route of the Heishui River, and the other is the land route.

The waterway requires the power of large ships to reach the town of Copper Mountain.

The land route must pass through Sunset Valley, and we can block Sunset Valley with boulders before the enemy attack, blocking the enemy's advance by land.

At the same time, we can send troops to attack the rear of the enemy army from the water, attracting their attention.

Perhaps, this will solve the crisis in Copper Mountain Town. ”

Nia was so nervous when she said this that her words trembled a little, and when she finished, she still clasped her hands.

However, this does not hide her shine at all.

This short assertion was recognized by everyone at the meeting.

Some people were even surprised as to why Nia was able to come up with such a wonderful solution. Even Cross was pleased with Nia's performance.

Watson grinned, "I agree with Nia's battle plan. ”

"I also think that Nia's plan is feasible. Gawain added.

"Nia, you have a good idea. Cross also encouraged him, "Is there anyone else who has a proposal?"

"I don't agree with Nia's battle plan. ”

"Tell me why, Lancelot. ”

"First of all, it takes a lot of time to block Sunset Valley with boulders, and even if it is successfully blocked, the enemy can use engineering equipment and a lot of manpower to break a path in Sunset Valley.

Moreover, there are actually some small roads that can also lead to Copper Mountain Town and Sunset City, and blocking Sunset Valley will not completely stop the enemy's march by land.

And the tactics of sneaking into the enemy's rear from the waterways are even more incapable of agreeing with.

This tactic was too risky, and Sephiroth had more military talent than Reinhardt, and he would not have failed to think of it.

The waterway may seem like a surprise attack, but in fact it is likely to fall into the trap and ambush of the enemy. ”

Lancelot's analysis makes sense, and there is no opposition, and Cross secretly praises Lancelot.

"You do have a point, so do you have any coping strategies?" Cross asked.

"I haven't fully figured it out yet, just a general idea.

Block the waterways, then take advantage of the narrow geography of Sunset Valley to defend against enemy forces there.

It is even possible to attack enemies with falling rocks as they pass through Sunset Valley. ”

"Lancelot, you even have this plan that I can think of, will Sephiroth not think of it?" Nia, who had just been refuted, seized the opportunity and immediately replied.
