Chapter 291: Crazy Plan (Third Update)
"Convene a high-level military meeting immediately!"
Nicholas, who got the letter, changed his face suddenly, and immediately shouted to Basil Heber, the clerk beside him.
The decision-making level of Black Rock City quickly rushed to the small conference room, and the second military meeting was held.
As Bai Xiaowen's deputy and sister, and the hero of this surprise attack, Li Shuyi was also allowed to participate in this military meeting.
Time was pressing, and Nicholas went straight to the point: "A new situation has arisen regarding the defensive battle of the Black Rock Fortress. Baron Dior, could you please give us a brief description? ”
Bai Xiaowen nodded and said, "Everyone here should know about the necromantic plague. Previously, we wondered if the Necromantic Plague was related to the remnants, but now there is conclusive evidence that the Necromantic Plague is a virus war launched by the remnants, at least the masterminds behind the necromantic plague are on the side of the remnants. ”
Bai Xiaowen then told the Blood Spear Overseer Khalhan and the troll warriors under his command that they had been "undead".
"These filthy beasts!"
"Damn bastard!"
......
In the small conference room, there was a lot of scolding, but the nobles and clergy were obviously not very good at scolding, and the tossing and turning was nothing more than dirty and lowly words.
When everyone had scolded enough, Bai Xiaowen said again: "After killing the Blood Spear Clan Overseer, I intercepted an important piece of information. The necromantic plague has spread widely in northern Xinjiang, and the first batch of plague undead armies are currently rushing to the Black Rock defense line...... Obviously, this confirms our previous suspicion that the undead creatures that have been affected by the plague are under the control of the mastermind behind the plague, the plague master. ”
"In other words, what are we going to face next, not just the beasts, but also countless plague undead?" said Earl Denton, whose face darkened, sucked in cold air, "Excellent. Shouldn't we discuss how to die with dignity?"
"I suggest abandoning the city and returning to the imperial capital. Nicholas's chief of staff cleared his throat.
Li Shuyi chuckled in her heart and looked at Bai Xiaowen. If the chief of staff's suggestion comes true, how should the second main quest "The War of Black Rock" be completed? With Bai Xiaowen and her two of them fighting against the remnants and the plague army, it is simply unrealistic.
However, Bai Xiaowen's expression was calm, and he didn't have any intention of speaking. Li Shuyi could only hold back the doubts in her heart and said no more.
Nicholas shook his head: "Abandoning the city is equivalent to giving up the entire northern frontier to the remnants of the coalition! ”
The magic advisor said, "With all due respect, Your Highness the Prince, I see no hope of victory in this war. Therefore, we should take a step back and preserve the strength of the Imperial Legion. Also, your safety is very important. ”
Chief of Staff: "Yes, those plague undead are terrible creatures that never sleep and have no sense of pain, and although they are not very strong, they are the best cannon fodder for siege warfare. This is only the first batch, and there will be a second and third batches to follow! ”
Bai Xiaowen opened his mouth and said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, Archbishop, I have a plan to deal with the plague undead. ”
"What plan?" in the conference room, everyone's eyes showed hope at the same time.
"I'm sorry, but this plan is so important that it can only be seen by His Royal Highness the Prince and Archbishop Arlo. Bai Xiaowen took out a piece of parchment written in advance and handed it to Nicholas.
Nicholas took the parchment and read the plan carefully. His face quickly became solemn, and his brows were almost twisted into the word "Chuan".
Archbishop Arlo leaned over to look at it. The old man was quite kind at first, but after looking at it twice, his expression changed rapidly, and he kept looking up at Bai Xiaowen, his expression was a little excited...... Even anger.
Everyone in the conference room stretched their necks like chickens and ducks waiting to be fed.
Finally, the two bigwigs finished reading.
"It's really a crazy plan. However, it takes a lot of preparation to execute this plan, and I don't think we have the time right now," Nicholas exhaled, "I'm glad that I don't need to decide whether to execute ......"
Bai Xiaowen shook his head and said, "No, I have already done the preparations in advance." ”
Prince Nicholas's face changed drastically, and he stood up suddenly: "You are too bold, Dio!
"Please rest assured, Your Highness the Prince," Bai Xiaowen said calmly, "I just prepared for it, and I didn't do it." ”
Archbishop Arlo couldn't sit still, stood up and said, "I am firmly against this plan!
Bai Xiaowen shook his head and said, "Archbishop, if there is a glimmer of life, I don't want to carry out this crazy plan. However, this is the only way to fight the remnants and the plague undead. ”
"In contrast, I would rather take the advice of His Excellency the Chief of Staff and abandon the city. Archbishop Arlo said.
"And then, hand over the entire Northern Frontier, all the human beings, to that group of beasts to make rations?" Bai Xiaowen's words were also very harsh.
"Don't make any noise. Nicholas's face changed, as if he was going through a fierce battle of ideas.
"Then, leave it to His Royal Highness the Prince to decide. I repeat once again that I would not have carried out this plan without the order of His Royal Highness the Prince. Bai Xiaowen took the parchment back and folded it under the gaze of everyone in the conference room.
"Your Royal Highness, don't make us sinners of humanity. "Archbishop Arlo put pressure on Nicholas.
Bai Xiaowen remained silent. He believes that the pressure of reality is more effective than the pressure of words.
Who is Nicholas? Kane's version of Arthas who can give the order to slaughter the city without blinking an eyelid! He didn't immediately agree to this plan, and it is estimated that there is still some luck mentality, and he thinks that there is still hope for holding the Black Rock Fortress through normal means.
Eventually, Nicholas spoke:
"Don't start this plan. ”
Without waiting for Archbishop Arlo to catch his breath, Nicholas added:
“...... Not yet. ”
With those four words, Nicholas exhaled and sat back in his chair. He was in no mood to continue the meeting, and waved his hand to let everyone disperse: "Let's all go back to their posts and prepare for battle." Dior...... And your sister, please stay. ”
Soon, there were only three people left in the conference room: Nicholas, Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi.
"Dior, what preparations have you made for this plan?"
Bai Xiaowen thought about it for a while, and selectively told Nicholas some details of the preparation.
"In other words, when you were in Momiji City, you already started to prepare," Nicholas smiled bitterly, "I really don't know if I should praise you." Your vision may become a nightmare for humanity. ”
"But this will first become a nightmare for the enemy. Bai Xiaowen said.
"Speaking of which...... Dior, you and your sister Charlotte aren't from this world, are you?" Suddenly, Nicholas said something surprising.
