Master Overlord - Chapter 401

When pace sat down beside him, the Duke looked around at the vassals on both sides and said, “everyone, if pace hadn’t ventured into the enemy camp and brought back such important news, there is no doubt that we would all die of the conspiracy of the wild people and the two traitors!”

“Yes, pace, good!”

“Well done, pace!”

“Worthy of you, pace! The glory of the North!”

……

After the atmosphere of praise lasted for a moment, the Duke immediately raised his hand to suppress the noise of the vassals and said in a straight tone: “everyone, the situation has changed, and we must come up with a new battle plan. As you heard just now, the wild people have more troops than we expected, but they are backward in equipment and lack of food. This is our only chance.”

“Duke,” said Ted Barrett, sitting in the front on the left, “although the wild people pose a great threat, we can’t take green and Davidson traitors lightly! There are three gates in Fengxi City, and the wild people will attack at the south gate. At that time, if those two make trouble in the other gates, we must be understaffed! We should prepare in advance.”

The walls of Fengxi city are not completely closed. A few miles to the west of the castle is the wide Anduo river. The walls at the north and south ends are directly built to the river bank. The river is the natural danger on the west side of the town. Therefore, there are only three gates in this largest town in the north.

Ted Barrett’s words made the vassals nod.

Although the green and Davidson family are not worth mentioning compared with the wild people, if they do not take precautions in advance, when the other party suddenly attacks from the other city gates when they are in a fierce battle with the wild people, they will be in a hurry and unprepared.

You know, there are at least five or six million people in Fengxi city at the moment because of the influx of people from all over the country and refugees fleeing the war! Even if the Duke had ordered all the refugees to rush to the riverside open space on the west side of the castle, the whole town was still overcrowded.

The Duke and pace both glanced at the serious Ted Barrett. A moment later, the duke said in a loud voice: “As for the two traitors, I have received the news that they are gathering people. I can tell you that in addition to them, there are the people of the God of light! But don’t worry, I have ordered the campes and the tustra family to stop them. They will have no impact on the war. When they defeat the wild people, it will be their end!”

“They should have been cleaned up long ago, and the bastards who broke the oath should be executed!” shouted one of the vassals immediately, and most of the other vassals echoed. This scene fell into the eyes of the Duke and pace.

“Lord, Lingfeng castle is not reliable!” Ted Barry continued. “Let’s not say whether Arthur tustra has the strength to stop the two traitors and the God of light. I’m afraid he won’t do his best to your orders just because of the past style of Shanghe leader!”

In the long history, the tustra family has never participated in the Kingdom disputes. Even if the northern territory changes and the dynasty iterates, the tustra family will still only defend its own territory.

Before the vassals began to talk, pace said directly: “Lord Ted, Lord Arthur has promised that I will not let those two send troops. I believe his promise!”

“It’s not a matter of commitment, it’s a matter of survival and death!” Ted Barrett countered, “Pace, I don’t want to doubt your friendship. I also admit that the boy has some abilities in fighting, but I’m afraid lingfengbao’s position won’t let him do his best in this war of life and death! After all, even if everyone here is dead, the tustra family can still continue to rule the river collar.”

“In addition, I think you have not forgotten the reform initiated by Arthur tustra? The green and Davidson families are traitors in the north, and he is an enemy to all of us! From such a position, I can hardly believe that he will do his best for the war that concerns our life and death, regardless of life and death!”

Because of the oath of allegiance, Ted Barrett deliberately avoided milt campes in his words, and the next discussion of the vassals also mentioned only the river collar, not the Cambrian collar.

“That’s enough!” the Duke interrupted as he listened to the more and more off topic discussion. “This is not the time to discuss the punishment of the river collar. Arthur tustra at least made a promise, and we need his strength now.” then the Duke looked at Ted Barrett. “If you have any good suggestions, just say them. Now is not a waste of time.”

“Yes,” said Ted Barrett, nodding, “I suggest that all troops should be properly dispersed to three city gates. This is not only to deal with the two traitors, but also to better prevent the attack of the wild people. After all, according to the information brought by pace, there are many wild people, so it is difficult to ensure that they will attack from which city gate, and they will not…”

The core point of Ted Barrett’s discussion is that kewilt, Stanley and Barrett each lead part of their troops to guard a city gate.

The Duke is in charge of the south gate, he is in charge of the east gate, and the Stanley family is in charge of the north gate. Considering that the south gate is most likely to be attacked, the most troops are assigned, and the north gate is the least.

Ted Barrett’s proposal was immediately endorsed by most of the vassals.

Guarding the city consumes food, which is their only chance to win. In the case of the wild people, the other party will certainly not have the idea of besieging the city. Once they reach the town, they will rush to the city wall like rats. Especially Warcraft and giants, once they jump on the wall, they don’t have enough time to redeploy their hands.

Looking at the vassals who were almost unanimously recognized, Duke kewilt nodded and said with praise: “this proposal is very good. The wild people will arrive in seven or eight days at most. We can’t expect reinforcements in the West. Guarding the town is our only hope…” after a pause, the Duke turned the conversation, “However, there are too few troops in the south gate. We should use half of our troops to garrison the South Gate…”

Duke kewilt’s purpose was very simple. He separated Barrett from the kenowei family and asked Ted Barrett to guard the south gate together with him and the other two vassals.

The east gate is headed by Stanley, Knoxville and two other vassals, and the north gate is handed over to the remaining staff.

The Duke’s proposal is full of distrust of Barrett and the Knoxville family, but at such a moment, no vassal is willing to care about these “insignificant” things. Compared with Ted Barrett’s proposal, the Duke’s proposal is obviously more conducive to guarding the town.

Pace sat quietly listening to the discussion and resolution on the war, but the more he listened, the more anxious he became.

“Father!” finally, he couldn’t help interrupting and got up to look at the vassals and knights on both sides of the Council hall. “Gentlemen, it’s certainly necessary to guard the town, but our current preparation may not be able to stop the wild people’s all-out attack! Although I haven’t seen all the wild people’s demons and beasts, I’ve seen those giants with my own eyes!”

“In the war with the Pilsen family, it was because the giant climbed the wall that the fortress fell. After the Pilsen family concentrated all their forces in one place, the fortress in the North was immediately broken by Warcraft, which led to the collapse of the Pilsen family.”

“If the wild people are desperate to attack the city wall, even if we concentrate all our troops and weapons, it will last too long! Maybe one day, maybe two days…”

“Pace!” interrupted a vassal. “If you have any suggestions, just say it. Don’t talk about these disturbing things!”

In the conversation with elif, pace learned all kinds of information about wild people, so he didn’t have much confidence in directly guarding Fengxi city.

He must find a way to delay the time of the wild people’s attack. The other party’s food can only support ten days at most. As long as the wild people can delay their arrival for one day, their chances of survival will be greatly increased!

“Gentlemen,” said paisleng, “food shortage is the only weakness of the wild people! Therefore, I wonder if we can send an assault team to delay the wild people’s time to get close to the town while guarding the city.”

“As long as we can make the wild people arrive in the town one day later, we will have more hope of winning. If we can make the wild people still fail to arrive in the town before the food runs out, we will have a great chance to win the war!”

Pace’s high pitched proposal received a burst of silence. His proposal was very good. The same idea flashed through the minds of the vassals present.

But the question is, who should carry out such an important task?
