Master Overlord - Chapter 384
When the bachelor finished reading Arthur’s reply, the atmosphere in the study suddenly fell silent.
Whether Duke, bachelor, Eugenie or Jenny, they were quietly thinking about Arthur’s new battle plan.
As the saying goes: if you are not afraid of not knowing the goods, you are afraid of comparing the goods.
All the people in the study, without exception, are not ignorant people. Arthur’s battle plan is undoubtedly more comprehensive, bold, cunning and effective than their previous battle plan.
Even Jenny, who knows nothing about war, can clearly feel the advantages and disadvantages of the two battle plans after listening to the bachelor’s reading.
In the silence, everyone could not help but surrender their eyes to the Duke on the seat – whether this reply was just alarmist nonsense, the silence atmosphere at the moment has given the answer.
“You should know this letter now…”
“Shut up!” the Duke interrupted pace again, looking angry.
Yes, he admitted that the battle plan was better than what he had made, and more than one, but because of this, the anger in his heart was completely greater than the joy.
Feeling the people’s waiting eyes, after holding back for a while, the Duke suddenly scolded pace: “who let you disclose the battle plan at will! Don’t you know it’s the most confidential thing now! Lingfeng castle had a deal with the wild people. Now the boy takes out such a battle plan. If the wild people also know, do you know the consequences!”
“Who does he think he is? Just because he dares to point fingers at such a war and overthrow all my plans! If he really wants to contribute to the north, he should obey all my orders instead of hiding in the river collar and playing tricks on his mouth…”
After some vent like reprimand, perhaps the Duke felt that his words were too impolite, so he stopped and stared at pace coldly.
Eugenie glanced at several people. Seeing that everyone was silent, she looked at the Duke and said, “father, although my brother’s practice is wrong and Arthur tustra is not a good man, I don’t think he can do such a thing as divulging the plan to the wild people unless he doesn’t want to live! Don’t blame my brother!”
The Duke looked at his baby daughter, glanced at pace with dissatisfaction, and said with a cold hum: “Give that boy a little more courage, he dare not do so! It’s just that your brother’s practice is so disappointing to me that he leaked such an important plan to a guy who refused to send troops, and took the other party’s proposal and asked me to do it immediately! It’s stupid.”
Seeing her father’s tone softened, Eugenie quickly said coquettishly: “pace believes in the count of Lingfeng Castle too much. When the war is over, you must punish him well, let him patrol the territory, catch thieves and robbers, and forbid him to stay in the castle!”
Then he winked at pace and asked him to admit his mistake.
At this time, pace also recovered and realized that he had been too anxious to take into account his father’s face as a duke, and it was really inappropriate to disclose the battle plan without authorization, so he lowered his head slightly and showed a trace of regret.
The little tricks of the brothers and sisters could not escape the Duke’s eyes. They snorted at pace again and frowned again. Seeing that the storm had subsided, they also relaxed slowly and waited for the Duke’s decision.
As time passed, the study became more and more quiet.
According to the original assumption, the Duke intended to completely block the wild people in the East, and it was best to let the wild people wreak havoc in the territory of the Davidson family.
He has long been dissatisfied with the actions of the court and the God of light!
Therefore, he has been waiting for the opportunity to eliminate the traitors green and Davidson. In the past, neither the conditions nor the time were ripe.
But now, the alliance with the West has been completed, and the plan to weaken the Barrett family is unexpectedly smooth.
Therefore, he had the idea of taking advantage of the wild people to go north, making a clear attitude to the court, and eliminating the two traitors of green and Davidson family at one fell swoop after the war.
It is undoubtedly a disaster for the wild people to go north. Countless civilians and knights in the North may lose their lives.
But the greater the chaos, the greater the opportunity!
As long as the plan is proper, the losses in the north can be made up from the West and the wild people.
Moreover, these two wars can not only deepen the alliance with the west, but also recover the fiefdoms of the green and Davidson families, so as to return the north to the control of the kewilt family.
Afterwards, his prestige will reach the peak in the hearts of the vassals, and the reputation of the kewilt family will be louder in the kingdom.
This is particularly important for the future situation change!
But now someone has denied his battle plan.
If only from the perspective of defeating the wild people, Arthur tustra’s battle plan is indeed better than his, but the problem is that the boy put forward these strategies from the perspective of a bystander, and he is the Duke of the north.
No matter how much you think and weigh, it’s too risky to let the wild people enter averier county directly. If you are careless, the wild people will come straight to Fengxi city.
At that time, they will fight with the wild people, and the damn kid may be lying on the bed of the castle, holding a woman happily.
Even if the possibility is very small, he doesn’t want to take the slightest risk!
After some silence, the Duke finally made a decision and said to the bachelor: “First order the raiding team to stop and return to the town nearby to wait for orders. In addition, send an order to count demberg. After he has assembled his men and horses, he will immediately retreat to the territory of harpos and bagnay families. All the leaders who can be dismissed will be dismissed, all the property that can be taken away, and don’t care about what can’t be taken away. In short, don’t leave a grain for the wild people.”
After the Duke’s voice fell, the bachelor waited for a moment. Seeing that there were no new orders, he bowed back slightly and drafted a letter.
“Father, you are…” pace looked at the Duke puzzled.
These two orders were neither their original battle plan nor Arthur’s proposal.
At this time, Eugenie opened her mouth in time and said, “father, are you going to wait and see first and then make a decision?”
The Duke nodded, glared at pace discontentedly, and exclaimed that the baby daughter could understand his idea better.
“The war is not so simple. Although the tustra boy’s battle plan is good, it is not enough to send an envoy casually if he wants to implement it successfully.”
“Besides, once we let the wild people into amelia and the battle plan is leaked, it will give the wild people a chance to attack Fengxi city directly.”
“There are not a few people in the kingdom who want to destroy our alliance with the western border and see both of us fall into war and decline.”
“Although tustra has a talent for war, he is still too young. We must be cautious in this war, which is related to the stability of our North and West!”
Hearing the speech, everyone nodded thoughtfully.
Pace stood in front of the desk, pursed his lips and said with a little difficulty: “father, I’m sorry… Just now, I…”
“I don’t need your apology!” the Duke interrupted again, his eyes fixed on the guilty pace.
“I want you to remember that you are my son and the heir of the kewilt family! You should be proud of being a member of the kewilt family! No matter what decision you make, you should think about your surname and the responsibility and honor it brings!”
“Yes,” pace whispered.
……
Although Arthur’s proposal was not directly adopted by the Duke, it reminded him to beware of the delay in the West.
There are indeed many omissions in the previous battle plan. The most serious one is that he is too conservative and cares too much about the two traitors in the East, ignoring the possible delay and slack in the West.
He now understood that the North should be the Savior of the west, rather than buying them hesitant time.
