Chapter 387： Narrant's Reward (Part 1)

Obviously, if there are spies, there is no doubt that it is more likely to be someone close to the king. After all, even these counts only learned the news after they arrived at the Fire Dragon Fortress.

At that time, it was only about ten days away from now, and the Northern Principality could not make arrangements so quickly.

"In addition to Byron and Jagger, several of my commanders and military ministers know about this matter!" The king's expression suddenly turned gloomy.

The speculations of Bernard and others have proved that there are indeed traitors in high positions within the Principality.

Byron and Jagger are the first and second princes.

As for several commanders and military ministers, they were all loyal subordinates who had followed him for decades, and the king was originally very relieved.

After pondering for a moment, seeing the counts fell silent, the king continued: "Several commanders and military ministers have served me for more than ten years, and their families are also old-fashioned families in the Principality. I don't think it is possible for them to betray me. Big!"

"Perhaps, the best possibility is that one of them accidentally leaked the news to the people around them, which caused the autumn plan to be known in advance."

"I will investigate this matter slowly, but in any case, even if it is proved that the Northern Principality already knows our plan, it will not affect our autumn expedition this year."

For the king, this year's autumn expedition plan is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Especially now that there is a chance to win Maple Leaf City without a fight, this is definitely a very good start.

Therefore, he did not want to see a group of counts having scruples about this year's autumn expedition plan because of the possibility of spies.

"Your Majesty is right. In fact, the issue of Maple Leaf City this time is not only a good thing, but a good thing."

"It allowed us to win Maple Leaf City with almost minimal losses, and even more aware of the existence of spies. In this way, the northern principality gave us a big city for nothing."

"In addition, from the matter of Maple Leaf City, one thing can actually be confirmed."

"That's the fact that His Majesty's spy investigation is basically true, otherwise the Northern Principality can send a large number of cavalry to contain us as usual!"

"To put it mildly, even if the plan of the Northern Principality succeeds in Maple Leaf City this time, it will only be exchanged for thousands of our soldiers. Compared with giving up a big city and an earl's castle, it is totally uneconomical!"

At this moment, Rakoff also opened his mouth to echo the words of the king, and also expressed his own opinion.

Hearing Rakoff's opinion, the counts present had different expressions.

Some counts nodded slightly in agreement with what he said, while others frowned and pondered without commenting.

"Rakoff is right, our military advantage is stronger than that of the Northern Principality, so we will attack directly with tough means!" The king also agreed with Rakoff's words, "Our next target is the Castle of the Earl of Barnby, now , please tell me what suggestions you have!"

When the earls heard this, they temporarily put aside their previous discussions with the spies and began to discuss the next attack.

"Your Majesty, I have no opinion on the continuation of the Qiu Zheng plan, but in order to ensure the safety of the army, I think we need to carry out a more comprehensive arrangement and investigation. Even if the information from the spies is true, we should prepare for the worst situation! "

Immediately, the Count expressed his opinion.

"Well, Kermit is right. Next, the Earl of Barnby has penetrated into the hinterland of the Northern Principality. At that time, I will send a small team to monitor the intersections of the Earl of Barnby to ensure that The safety of the army in the siege of the city."

"In addition, we also need to strengthen the patrol vision of the Rangers to ensure that the situation in Maple Leaf City will not occur again!"

The king nodded. This point does not need to be said by the earls. With the lessons learned from Maple Leaf City, he will also be very careful.
