According to His Majesty Roland's plan, the City Hall, the Security Bureau, the First Army, and the Witch League are the four institutions of the same level, which constitute the administrative body of the Grey Keep. In addition to the most special security bureau, the other three agencies should have the cooperation and support of the relevant departments through the approved actions.

The original intention of this set of regulations is undoubtedly to be able to better exert the power of the entire kingdom, and it is difficult to go wrong with His Majesty himself in normal times, but the problem is when His Majesty is not there - it is very difficult for the three parties to reach an agreement in a short time. Therefore, when Wendy hears the devil from Loga's mouth, the best way she can think of is to issue a warning first, hold the city, and hold a decision-making meeting at the same time.

Of course, she wasn't unaware of how much trouble this would cause to the town hall. The breeding wheat fields in the Hidden Forest produce hundreds of sacks of Golden No. 2 seeds every day, which need to be transported to the docks by workers and loaded onto ships to the Northlands, the Southlands, and His Majesty's newly recovered territories. In addition to this, the collection of timber, mushrooms, and fruits from the forest areas will be affected, and animal husbandry in the steppe pastures will also come to a standstill, Barov's argument is not entirely exaggerated.

Originally, when the Third Battle of the Divine Sense began, a new wall would appear north of the border, encompassing half of the grassland, which would not only form multiple checkpoints with the existing city walls, but also effectively improve the efficiency of the defense line of the Desperate Mountain Range, making the ore smelting area and factories north of the city safer. Even in times of war, resources from the forests and the mountains on the northern slopes will not be cut off.

It's just that this plan is still on paper, and no one expected that the news of the devil's appearance would come so early, and she must make a more careful choice than the losses she faces in financial trade.

"The devil is the basis, mortal, is that hard to understand?" The light curtain on the wall of the conference room fluctuated, and El's disdainful voice came into everyone's mind, "Anything to do with the devil cannot be left idle, they are not stupid beasts, they will not wait until you are ready to attack—I don't think you are deeply aware of the horror of your opponent. It's a pity, seeing that mortal king, I thought you had grown a lot over the centuries. 」

As allies against the devil, the remnants of Tachira and the Maleficent are naturally qualified to attend this meeting. Both leaders Pasha and Tilly Wimbledon agreed with Wendy's decision.

Barov almost laughed angrily, "I don't know how terrible the devil is, because it never appeared in front of my eyes at all - can these guys still kill people in the air? You keep saying that you must be prepared, I agree with that, but the problem is that you can't even see the shadow of the enemy now!" With a witch-controlled hidden forest to the west, a watchtower built on a desperate peak to the east, and an unobstructed grassland sandwiched between two barriers, any enemy movement can be detected from miles away, is it necessary for us to be cautious?"

It could be seen that the head of the town hall was indeed quite attentive to the task assigned by His Majesty, and Wendy thought to himself, he didn't even dare to breathe in front of the monster-like primordial carrier during the last meeting, and now he dared to say two sentences, and even sneered.

"I think it's necessary," Ash began, "actually, I suggested it to Wendy. ”

"Why? Or is it because of an inexplicable witch's dream?" Barov banged on the table, "don't tell me you believe her—if she's worth trusting, or if you're that close, she'd be part of the Witch League." ”

Not so much, but based on a judgment of the facts. Ash calmly explained, "I've fought her before, and I know what she's capable of. If it was just one or two mixed beasts, it wouldn't make her so embarrassed. According to the information currently available, the mad demon has similar combat ability to medium-sized hybrids without the support of magic stones, and even if Luo Jia can't win, he can turn into a wolf form and easily get rid of the opponent's tracking. ”

"What the hell are you trying to say?"

"It is likely that there are more than ten devils she encountered, and there are flying dinosaurs in the sky to track her, so she is so badly injured. "We've also found a map from her, and if the handwriting is correct, it's probably left to her by Lightning—though it's unclear what happened in between, one thing is for sure, she's been in the uninhabited wasteland since she left Neverwinter. If there is suddenly such a group of devils in the wilderness, then we must be on guard against whatever they want to do. ”

"I agree with that judgment too," Pasha's voice was much softer than El's, "Miles are only a blink of an eye for the dinosaurs, and if they do attack Neverwinter, I'm afraid that by the time the dinosaurs land, the news of those outposts may still be on their way back." 」

"Moreover, most of the people do not know what the devil is, and if the enemy is allowed to rush into the city without warning, the impact will be incalculable. Tilly added, "The Alert will at least allow them to go home and take shelter, and to some extent stop the spread of fear." ”

"Well, but ......," Barov was momentarily speechless.

Compared to the previous ones, the Five Princesses' speeches were obviously more prestigious, not because she was the leader of the Witches of the Sleeping Isles, but because she had the blood of the Wimbledon family in her veins. As a member of the royal family, the sister of the current king, the old manager is undoubtedly very worried.

He turned to look at the head of the army, a taciturn middle-aged hunter who seemed to be trying to win over a supporter. But the latter remained staring straight ahead, as if he had not paid any attention to the controversy.

Seeing that the atmosphere was slightly stiff, Wendy gave herself a sigh of relief, got up and said, "I have sent the news to the Northlands, I believe that Your Majesty will give instructions as soon as possible, and Luo Jia may wake up at any time, so please don't worry too much about Lord Steward - after all, as long as you get more accurate information, martial law can be adjusted at any time, so until then, it is better to be cautious." She paused, "As for the tasks assigned by His Majesty, they can also be made up for by other means." ”

Barov frowned, "For example?"

"We might be able to use the Devouring Worm to transport wheat - just from the Hidden Forest to the Third Frontier City. Wendy looked at the remnants of Tachira in the light curtain, "So that the workers can load the wheat seeds onto the cargo ship even if they don't leave the city." ”

"Huh?" Elchroy said displeased, "We're warriors, not porters—"

"But for the sake of our allies, we can do that. Pasha stretched out her tentacles and wrapped them around Elf's body, even though she didn't seem to have a mouth at all.

Wendy nodded gratefully, and continued, "Livestock can be transferred in the same way, Honey has a knack for manipulating animals, don't worry about them being scared by Fran." There is no shortage of pasture in the west, and there are many undeveloped areas along the Chishui River that can be used for grazing temporarily. ”

Barov's expression was still not satisfied, but his brow was much calmer.

"I know these measures can't completely erase the impact, but the safety of Neverwinter is the first thing we need to consider at this particular time. "Wendy knew in her heart that if she wanted not to disappoint Her Majesty and take on the position of head of the League of Witches, gentleness alone was not enough...... She has to move forward and become someone who can truly be relied on. "I am willing to take full responsibility for any damage caused by this move!" 2210
