Master Overlord - Chapter 381

When Issa and Eugenie left the study with worry, pace and the Duke were attached to their desks, writing urgent letters to be sent everywhere.

After a whole afternoon’s discussion, Duke kewilt finally decided on a plan to deal with the wild people going north.

The first is to ask the court for help.

No matter whether the court will lend a helping hand, even if it knows that the court will sit idly by, this step must be taken. Because of the situation of the Kingdom, although the relationship between the Northern Territory and the court is subtle, at least nominally, the northern territory is still a part of the Kingdom and belongs to the rule of King olivido.

Secondly, the news of the wild people going north was passed to the feudal nobles everywhere, ordering them to immediately summon people and tighten food for war.

Finally, it is to inform the western border of the coping strategies of the northern border as soon as possible, so that they can assemble people and horses, raise materials and send troops for support as soon as possible.

The specific operational plan is also roughly divided into three parts according to pace’s proposal.

First, the noble lords in the east of emiria county were ordered to immediately summon their men and horses to transfer the food and population in the leader’s land to large towns as soon as possible. It is not allowed to leave a grain of food for the wild people. It is strictly prohibited to defend the city and take the initiative.

The second is to send ten harassing teams of about 100 people to rush to the front line as quickly as possible and drag out the pace of the wild people in the West. It is best to find an opportunity to burn each other’s food and grass and let the wild people’s army fall into a chaotic situation without food.

Finally, gather at least 30000 knights from other places and the West as soon as possible to attack the wild people, and strive to defeat them completely before they step into Emilia County!

There is no doubt that this is a great war, and the forces to be mobilized include the Lords and nobles in the north.

The letters written by the Duke even included the green and Davidson families who had substantially defected from the north.

That night, the lights of Fengxi castle were bright. In the early morning of the next day, a knight holding the Duke’s warrant and a single letter bird with negative elements scattered from Fengxi castle to various places.

When Arthur received the news transmitted by the school city, it was the evening of that day. Many years ago, the tustra family and windbreak stopped sending messages to each other.

There were two letters, written by the Duke and pace.

The Duke’s letter was strongly worded. In an ordered tone, he went directly to the river collar and put forward three requirements.

First, after receiving the letter, let Arthur immediately lead a team of no less than 100 knights to the south of the Davidson family to attack the wild people, slow down the pace of the wild people’s westward advance, and it’s best to burn each other’s food and grass.

Second, he ordered Shanghe collar to supply feather arrows to the southern collars immediately. He must supply no less than 100000 arrows within four months, and local lords are allowed to take them on credit until the end of the war.

Third, he ordered Arthur to lend all the idle Warcraft bows in his hand, the number of which should not be less than 100, and send them to Fengxi castle within two months. It was stated that the war was over and they should be returned immediately.

In addition to the three requirements, the Duke also stated that Arthur must take responsibility for the wild people going north, because the river leader not only benefited from the wild people, but also provided weapons support for the wild people!

Arthur read the Duke’s letter and threw it aside.

It may be selfish to say so. It seems that Shanghe is a part of the north, but he ignores the safety of the north, but Arthur still wants to say – in the current situation, unless he is out of his mind, he will lead his troops south to fight against the wild people, and still go to the territory of the Davidson family!

Legally speaking, although the upper river leader is under the jurisdiction of the Duke of the north, the tustra family is not loyal to anyone.

The mission of the tustra family is to guard the sharp blade fortress. Since its own written or ballad records, the Shanghe collar has never participated in any aristocratic disputes, even if the northern territory changes its master and the dynasty changes.

Even the war of self-defense for more than a year was provoked by the enemy first. After Lingfeng Castle repeatedly warned, it was forced to send troops.

In a word, when the ancestors of the tutela family fought with Warcraft, most of the prominent people in the Kingdom have not been able to find out who their ancestors were – neither the king nor the Duke of the north have the right to order the tutela family!

In terms of interests, Arthur had no reason to send troops.

When the Barrett family waged war against Cumbria and the upper river leader, the duke said nothing.

After the TID Barrett peace talks, when the war was shamelessly provoked again, none of the northern nobles spoke out for justice.

As the “traitor” in the eyes of the nobility, Arthur naturally hoped that the weaker the potential enemy, the better. It was best to have nothing left except a shouting mouth.

In addition, Duke kewilt should know why telosi died, why Ted Barrett launched a war, why his trade with wild people went so smoothly.

Now, the nobles in the north, why should they ask him to send troops?

Arthur won’t send troops, at least not now!

Compared with the Duke’s strict wording, pace’s letter is full of humility and modesty, as if the student had learned from the teacher.

Although the letter also expressed the idea of hoping to get the support of Shanghe collar, it was only a brief introduction. The rest of the space was almost devoted to expounding the strategies and concerns against the enemy and asking Arthur whether he had good suggestions for the war.

After reading pace’s letter, Arthur immediately asked Leah to get the map of the East and study it by candle.

Although he may meet pace on the battlefield in the future due to different identities or positions, now, regardless of interests and friendship, he still regards pace as his friend and Shanghe collar.

Therefore, as long as he does not harm the interests of Shanghe collar, he is willing to do what he can to help resist the wild people.

Of course, whether his suggestion will be adopted or not is the Duke’s business.

According to pace’s letter, Arthur was not very optimistic about the Duke’s battle plan.

He understood that the Duke probably wanted to consume the enemy’s food and grass, weaken the enemy’s morale, assemble his army and win favorable conditions for defeating the enemy while dragging the wild people westward.

This is a good idea: Although there are a large number of wild people, they are isolated and helpless. They can only survive by looting, and they are obviously not good at attacking the city.

But Arthur thought that such an idea was too light on the enemy and naive.

From the battle plan, it was obvious that the Duke wanted to completely defeat the wild people in the area east of Amelia county at the least cost.

However, the Duke’s combat strategy is to trade manpower for time and space.

First of all, Arthur didn’t think that besides Fengxi City, there were walls of other towns in the north, which could significantly hinder the wild people.

You know, the giant is nearly twenty feet tall. The height of the walls of most towns in the north is not as high as the giant.

Besides, besides giants, wild people also have ferocious and agile Warcraft!

Therefore, the strategy of concentrating the people, horses and food in the east of emiria county to several large towns and guarding the city according to the city is likely to evolve into a result of self binding.

In addition, by doing so, it is obviously dispersing the troops in the north, fighting on their own, giving the wild people the opportunity to break one by one!
