Master Overlord - Chapter 380

In the study, Duke kewilt kept pacing back and forth, and his gloomy expression seemed to be shrouded in a cloud.

Before the letter from Lingfeng Castle transmitted by Xuecheng arrived, he had received a report from his spies and learned that the wild people were moving to the north.

He was still guessing the wild people’s intention. He was not sure whether these guys went north for looting or for any other purpose. Until he read the news of Lingfeng castle, his nervous heart fell to the ground like falling into the abyss.

“Go!” after a disturbed pace, the Duke made a decision in his heart, stopped and ordered the captain of the bodyguard, “send someone to find pace and Jenny immediately, say there is something urgent to discuss with them, and order them to come immediately!”

The captain of the bodyguard was ordered to go to the door. The Duke immediately looked at the bachelor standing aside: “go and get two letter birds of the farit family and a letter bird of the denburg family immediately. The wild people must immediately inform the West and let them prepare early!”

With that, without waiting for the bachelor’s response, Duke kewilt directly bypassed the desk, sat down and wrote with his pen.

The denburg family is located in the southwest of the Davidson family. If the wild people really want to go to the west, the other party will be the first target to be looted.

When pace came in a hurry, the bachelor who had released the letter bird happened to return to the house from the terrace.

“Father, is something important happening?” as soon as she entered the study, Eugenie immediately came forward and took the Duke’s arm. “You are in such a hurry to find sister Jenny. We were having a good chat earlier!”

“Now that you’re here, you can sit down together,” said the Duke seriously. “Bachelor Beaumont will introduce you. This time we’re in big trouble in the north and West!”

A moment later, after listening to the bachelor’s introduction, the three people sat in their chairs with shocked faces.

“Father, don’t the court care if something like this happens?” Eugenie asked aloud.

“Miss Eugenie,” the bachelor replied aloud, “In the current situation, I’m afraid it’s difficult for the court to lend a helping hand to us. If the news of Lingfeng castle is true, the wild people go north to go to the west by way, which means that the wild people don’t want to provoke the people and horses of the East and the king. After all, the shortest way from averier to the West should be to go directly to the West and cross the king’s Avenue.”

The duke said aloud, “if the kingdom of olivedo is awake, it may still be possible, but now the moths in the court will only stand idly by. Although the wild people don’t go to the south according to their plan, as long as they don’t continue eastward, they will sit on the wall and won’t do it.” then the Duke paused and added coldly, “at least not now!”

Hearing the speech, Eugenie angrily sat on the bench and said, “if they didn’t cooperate inside and outside and stand idly by, the Bilson family wouldn’t be defeated easily! They are really a group of bastards. Now the wild people are coming to our North!”

“Father,” said Jenny, sitting next to Eugenie, “is there anything I can do? I can write to my father and tell him everything here.”

Looking at Jenny with an uneasy face, Eugenie reached out and took her palm and threw an encouraging look.

“Good boy, don’t worry,” said the Duke. “Although the wild people’s goal is the west, this matter is also related to the safety of the north. Even if you don’t marry pace, the north will never sit idly by and let the wild people go to the West!”

“Before you arrived, I wrote a letter to your father, telling him everything truthfully, reminding him to inform the major nobles in the West as soon as possible and make all preparations for the war. The north will stand with your father and the West!”

It was clear to the Duke that Jane’s maid was the eyes and ears left by Duke farit.

Hearing the speech, Jenny was greatly moved and immediately promised that she would find a way to let her father lead the troops as soon as possible.

Everyone nodded affirmatively to Jenny’s words, but they were not optimistic – every summer, the tidal corridor would be exposed to the sea, and this was the time when the Gaoting Kingdom launched a war on the West.

Under such circumstances, whether the nobles in the West are willing to believe that the target of the wild people is them or not, even if they believe, it is difficult for the west to send surplus troops to fight in the north.

This is a big trouble. No one here expected that the two sides that have just formed an alliance will face such a huge test.

The atmosphere was a little depressed. The Duke turned his eyes to his silent son: “pace, tell me your opinion. I want to hear your opinion on the war.”

Duke kewilt was quite satisfied with the new raid team of the family and had high hopes. His views on the Warcraft bow also changed his views on his son – at least, this guy was not good for nothing except force and honor.

Since hearing the introduction of the bachelor, pace has been frowning and thinking about ways to deal with the wild people.

Seeing his father’s question, he shook his head helplessly first, and then said, “if the situation of the wild people is really as Arthur said, we have no choice but to fight…”

“Don’t call that boy an adult!” interrupted Duke kewilt. “If it weren’t for that damn boy, the wild people wouldn’t have so many weapons in their hands!”

Looking at his angry father, pace pursed his lips. Rarely, he didn’t retort. He continued: “when fighting with the wild people, their advantage is that they have a large number of people, their character is fierce, and their Kung Fu on horseback is far better than that of ordinary knights, but if that’s all, they are not enough to be afraid.”

“The wild people are backward in equipment. Although they have received a large number of weapons from Shanghe collar, they are only limited to swords, spears and arrows. They have no armor to defend. If there is a close combat situation, they will be at a complete disadvantage except for the number of people.”

“In addition, the wild people have no or only few plundered siege equipment, and they must not be good at siege. If we can accumulate all people and food in large towns and rely on the city walls, we should be able to defeat them easily.”

“But the problem is that there are not only giants but also Warcraft among these wild people! This is the direct reason for the rapid defeat of the Bilson family. The city wall is not enough to resist giants and Warcraft!”

At this point, pace stopped talking, and the study was filled with a dignified and worried atmosphere. Whether the wild people take the road or attack has not made much difference to the north.

The Duke frowned and thought. After a while, he asked aloud, “is it possible to stop them in the territory of the Davidson family? For example, take the Zhi river as the boundary, or the rowa river. In short, don’t let them go to the West.”

Pace thought for a moment and said, “it’s difficult. Neither the Zhihe river nor the Luowa River can be used as a natural danger. Even if all bridges are destroyed, the shallow area upstream can cross the river directly.”

“Damn it!” replied pace. The Duke had expected it, but he still couldn’t help muttering curses.

Looking at his ugly father, pace continued: “we may learn from Lord Arthur’s combat methods, especially…”

“I said, don’t call that boy your excellency!” the Duke snapped, and then asked with suppressed anger, “what method?”

Pace made up his mind and answered, “in the current situation, our best way is to defend the city according to the city, and we should do two things: one is to give up small towns, and the other is to concentrate all the food in the territory into large towns as much as possible.”

“The walls of small towns are too small to resist the wild people. Once they are lost, a large amount of food in the city will fall into the hands of the wild people, which is no different from helping them collect food, and it will seriously hurt our morale.”

“But if it’s just like this, the wild people will be unstoppable. They are likely to expand the scope of looting or go straight to large towns to besiege. Therefore, we need to delay their westward speed as much as possible and consume all their food.”

“The excellent harassing tactics of Lingfeng castle is the best way to delay… However, we don’t know the situation of those Warcraft. If those Warcraft are better at running than horses, the harassing team will be gone.”
