Chapter 932

"Here they are."

In the hall of the Royal sword order, connord... Or connord I threw the letter on the table, looked at the Duke with different looks and the uninvited Brandon, and said faintly.

There is no superfluous explanation.

But everyone knows what's going on - or at this time, it's only possible for the emperor to summon all the Dukes for one thing.

"What direction?" the black haired wizard raised his head and looked surprised. "How many?"

Master corona and the night watchman of eboden didn't get information. What channel did connod get the news about the Azores?

The next second, the answer is revealed.

"I don't know."

Connor, who sat down slowly, put his elbows on the table and looked at Lauren through his crossed fingers: "this letter... Is a letter received by the Holy Cross Church in eboden a few days ago. Because the messenger was too special, the church immediately sent a cavalry to run around all night and sent it to a military camp in West Saxony in the early morning and then to me."

"There's only one word in the letter... They're coming."

The Dukes looked at each other, but corona was thoughtful, as if he remembered something.

"So, the key is the identity of the messenger." Yuli weiltz was the first to react and looked at connord with burning eyes: "this man... Is very special?"

Connord nodded heavily and turned his meaningful eyes to the dark haired Wizard: "an old friend of the Duke of Loren Turin, a devout Saint cross."

"Oh?" Duke Nolan Erde of Arles raised his mouth and glanced at the dark haired wizard with his right eye. "What's his name?"

"He has already abandoned his identity and is still the last existing Knight of the 'sword of oath' in the Empire."

Corona sighed and took over the topic: "almost three years ago, this pious knight took a mission from the former Emperor from me - to the Azores kingdom to find out."

"Three years ago?!" Lu Wen broke out and looked shocked.

"Yes, just three years ago." corona nodded calmly: "the year when the ocean fleet was killed."

The voice fell and the whole hall returned to silence.

The Dukes with different looks - whether it's the mischievous Sarika or the always calm Yuli, including Brandon, who hasn't spoken, don't look much better than the shocked ruwen.

Three years ago... Did his majesty Eckhardt II foresee today's situation three years ago?!

This... Even if it's true, it doesn't make sense - if he had expected, why did he wait until today three years later, and why did he be killed and robbed of the iron crown by the Azores assassin in his bedroom?!

Or are these all part of his plan, even his own death

This terrible idea that once lingered in the minds of black haired wizards now appears in everyone's minds and on their faces at the same time.

Brandon remained silent, as if the meeting and event had nothing to do with him.

"We must do something, otherwise this important information will be wasted, and the efforts of a brave oath knight in the past three years will be wasted." Connor said in a deep voice:

"The most important thing... If you can't keep them out of the country, you'll have to fight them inside the country."

The motionless black haired wizard looked at connord's extremely serious expression.

Inside the country? No... for the connord and de sallion royal families, the result is far more terrible than that.

Once they can't stop the invasion of the Azores "outside the gate of the country", no matter whether the other party's main attack direction is lottel or eboden, their next invasion direction must be West Saxony, the territory directly under the emperor's jurisdiction where the emperor capital is located, and the traffic center that maintains the normal operation of the Saxony empire.

By making good use of the precious stone river and the important transportation roads of the Empire, the Azores can gather their troops leisurely to launch the next offensive against Elman, East Saxony and even Boyi on the premise of maintaining a siege on the imperial capital. Several principalities can only fall into a passive counterattack and can no longer gather forces equivalent to the Azores.

Even more terrible... Because they have the advantages of transportation and military strength within their scope, they can not only calmly divide the principality's troops, but also wantonly loot, destroy and Massacre... Further weaken the principality's resistance until they can only curl up in the castle to protect themselves.

The best result would be that the Empire was divided into two, barely able to save a small part of Eastern Saxony in the south.

If the war goes to that point, it will be no different from subjugation for the Empire and the de sallion royal family.

As for whether the Azores can do this... At least no one here will doubt whether the Azores can show enough strength to compete with the Empire or even stronger.

At this point, Loren could finally understand why Conrad would win over Nolan ERD, oppress the Dukes to submit to him by almost "Brandon style" means, and make a deal with himself so happily.

From beginning to end, he was the only one who didn't hide and lie.

Everything... For the sakran empire.

For the benefit of de sallion.

"The enemy will invade at any time, but we can't determine the exact direction and time." Yuli Weitz frowned and looked more and more dignified: "don't you even have any means to counter it?"

"But it's not just that. The situation is much more serious than that." Nolan ERD grinned with a playful expression: "it's not that there is no means to counteract, but that there is no power to counteract!"

"I believe all of you here... Almost experienced an assassination, right? I don't know what's going on in your family, but Arle is really in a mess; there are rebellions and thieves everywhere; I cut down two uncles last month to barely stabilize my castle and keep down the momentum of the rebellion."

Sarika hugged her shoulder and snorted coldly, "Boye is almost the same. There are still many traitors in Jonah's family. If we don't level them, the Hussars in the green sea can't even enter East saklan!"

"The situation in El Mans is better, and the impact on us is relatively small." Yuli raised his head and looked seriously at Connor: "but the troops are scattered, and it will take at least three months to assemble."

"Lottel's army has assembled and can be mobilized at any time!"

Lu Wen raised his head bravely, "bang!" slapped him on the table: "30000 troops gathered in yingshou castle. As long as there is need, they can fight across the border at any time!"

"Thirty thousand troops gathered in yingshou castle, your logistics pressure should be very heavy?" Yuli looked at him anxiously: "it should be a big burden for lottel."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter! The valley has a good harvest this year, and food is not a problem for the time being!" Lu Wen waved his hand carelessly:

"Besides, even if there is not enough food, it is absolutely necessary to have Loren and his United Chamber of Commerce in such a small matter..."

"Cough, cough, cough!!!!!"

The black haired wizard coughed violently and finally covered the last half of his sentence - ruwen... How can lottel and Byrne say such a thing in front of the emperor?!

"So... At present, the only ones who can really build up enough troops are sakran, lottel and Bain."

Conrad, who pretended not to hear, just looked coldly at Lauren who no longer spoke: "the rest... Will take at least three months."

The Dukes with different looks pondered for a long time, and finally nodded very tacitly.

As for eboden's mercenary Corps... The army of "everything depends on money" is not considered at all.

"In that case, we need to formulate a detailed defense plan to gather enough strength for the Empire to buy time, and try not to let the Azores' Army invade the hinterland of the Empire."

The expressionless Connor's voice was firm and steady: "on the one hand, we need to mobilize enough materials and assign special personnel to support the war; on the other hand, we also need to tap our own war potential as soon as possible."

"As the leader of the emperor and the Royal sword order, I ask all of you here to work together and contribute all your strength to this war. For this..."

"Bang --!"

The harsh sound interrupted emperor Conrad's words.

The stunned Dukes looked in the direction of the sound source at the same time - the silent Brandon de sallion had stood up from his seat.

His royal highness... Or the current crown prince and Prince of East Saxony... Looked coldly at emperor Connor, with deep impatience in his blood red eyes:

"Thirty thousand people of the eastern expedition corps are on their way to the imperial capital at the latest two months to fight for you and your empire;"

"Before that, I will go to Jufeng mountain and ask the dragons there for Alliance - if I can come back alive in three months, or complete... There is only a pile of excrement and bone residue left without being eaten by the dragons... You will know that I have succeeded."

"Now... Please allow me to leave first. After all, time doesn't wait, and the Dragon doesn't wait; goodbye, your majesty!"

Then Brandon, taking a deep breath, turned away without looking back, and walked towards the door with big strides.

"Brandon!"

The dignified and loud voice stopped the "new" crown prince who was about to walk out of the door.

"It's not 'my empire', it's' our empire '." Connor said in a deep voice, staring meaningfully at Brandon's back:

"Don't forget, you are also the son of Eckhardt, and you are also a desallion."

Brandon, who had a little meal, rushed out of the hall in a hurry.

The atmosphere became more embarrassing

In the silence, corona, who was always very quiet, turned his eyes to the black haired wizard and saw that Loren had some hair.

"Cough, cough, cough... Although we don't know the exact attack time and direction of the enemy, the general situation can be determined." the black haired wizard had to stand up and ease the atmosphere for Brandon's move:

"The first is the direction of attack - there are only two ports and coasts along the imperial coastline that can provide large-scale fleet landing, one is eboden, the other is the fog moon court in the ancient wood forest... The rest can only park fishing boats and small merchant ships at most, which is not a worry."

"As we all know, the former is the most important coastal port of the Empire and can connect the gem River, an important transportation waterway; eboden itself is also not a large fortress, which is a weak point of attack;"

"The fog moon court is deep in the ancient wood forest. Although it can provide a large number of warships for berthing, the only exit to attack lottel through the forest is Shenlin castle. It is difficult for the army to launch a full-scale attack - it can be said that one man is in charge of the pass and ten thousand men can't leave."

"Therefore, the simplest way is to concentrate all the main forces that can be found at present to assemble in eboden to defend the landing operation of the Azores fleet; then assemble a small number of elite and huge reserve forces in Shenlin castle to build the whole count into a fortress group and defensive position with the castle as the core to resist the attack of the elves."

"Finally... Although the ocean fleet has been completely destroyed, the Empire still has a small number of warships and ocean going ships; they can be used to carry a small number of elite... Such as the troll hunters in Arles; launch a surprise attack on the rear line of the Azores invasion army and harass their logistics."

"In this way, we can achieve your Majesty's basic goal... To resist the enemy outside the country."

Clear and accurate characters echoed in the hall.

Yuli weirtz had a dignified expression, while Reuven took it for granted;

Sarika lifted the corners of her mouth and unconsciously straightened her waist and chest; Nolan ERD raised his eyebrows and smiled.

The smiling corona turned her eyes to Connor, who was expressionless beside her.

Everyone is waiting for his Majesty's reply.

"The only problem... Eboden." Conrad narrowed his eyes and asked coldly, "eboden's defense system is not enough to resist large-scale landing raids."

"If I were the commander of the Azores, I could completely blockade the city with a small number of troops, and then the remaining main forces would bypass your walls and defense lines... If so, what should you do?"

"First of all, eboden is the city they must capture."

"Secondly, it is impossible for them to blockade eboden with a small number of troops - this is a port city and the only port city around;" the black haired wizard shook his head: "as long as eboden is not captured for one day, their fleet will not be able to land on a large scale on the imperial border."

"As for the very few forced landings... I believe there are the indestructible 'black walls' of the Empire. This problem is not a problem at all."

"In other words, the army attacking eboden will be of unprecedented scale, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands?" Yuli vilz said sternly:

"How can we hold the city with such a force?"

"It's easy." Lauren shrugged:

"We can't hold it."
