Chapter 278: Battle Plan
The conflict soon ended. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Seeing the menacing knight, no one dared to say a word more, or that most of the actors themselves were wall grass, otherwise there would be no beginning dispute. In the face of the famous May, not everyone has the courage to stand up against her, and now the situation has become even more one-sided, and Bella was directly taken out of the lounge by two men.
After a while, only Carter and the town crew were left in the huge room.
"Thank you so much for your help," Gate's and the others bowed.
"You're a ...... Two or three strokes left her speechless," Erin shook May's hand and exclaimed, "And that slap that just blinded her!"
Then she turned to the chief knight and saluted, "Master Carter, why did you appear at the Long Song Fortress?"
"I'm curious about that, too. Maye shrugged, but breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
"Because of His Highness's orders," Carter said, spreading his hands, "may I give you a drink?"
......
"It's ...... Where do you live?" the chief knight looked around with some restraint.
"Well, pretty ordinary, isn't it," Mei said, pulling a bottle of liquor from the cupboard and pouring him a shallow glass. "The tavern is only open at night, so I'll treat you to this drink. "Erin's gang slipped away quite quickly, and one by one they said on the road that something suddenly happened. When they finally returned to the residence, only her and Carter were left.
"Well, indeed...... It's pretty ordinary," Carter coughed, "I don't know ...... your family."
"My mother died at an early age, and I got a job for my father at the theater, and it was all light chores," said Maye calmly, "but I don't think he'll be back until the evening." ”
This small bungalow in the deep alleys of the inner city had been purchased with all her savings after becoming a Star of the West, and although the house was small and old, moving out of the outer city would at least save her from harassment and uneasy prying eyes.
"Uh...... I'm sorry. ”
"It's nothing," Mei Yi poured herself a small glass as well, "Is Your Highness here to put the theater in order and settle the dispute between the actors?"
"No, of course not," Carter waved his hand repeatedly, "Tifeco has sent someone to trouble the western realm again, and His Royal Highness Roland is on his way with the large army, so I just arrived first on the town number, and arranged for the Second Army to strengthen the night guard, and by the way, let the Honeysuckle family be more vigilant to prevent anyone from sneaking up on the city gate and the like." ”
"You shouldn't have told me this," Maye shook her head, stunned.
"You asked, and it's not a covert operation," Carter took a sip of his wine, "Don't worry, I'm measured." ”
"Well," she pouted, "and how did you get to the theater?"
"After I explained the matter, I suddenly saw the promotion of the drama in which you appeared, and I wanted to see what you would be like on a real theater stage. It turned out exactly as I thought it would be – even though I only saw the ending, your performance was amazing. "So I went backstage to have a drink, but I didn't know whether to go in or not, so I lingered at the door until I heard the ......argument inside."
"You've been out there for a long time?" Maye frowned.
"I didn't mean to eavesdrop," Carter held his hands up, "it was just an accident, I promise." ”
"Poof," she chuckled, "I don't blame you, you don't have to show such an expression." ”
"Really?" the knight breathed a sigh of relief and reached for the wine, but she knocked him down.
"You still have a mission for the night, right?" Maye said, shaking her finger, "so you can only drink a small glass, and you can't add more." But......" she smiled slightly, "you can treat me to a good time when this mission is over." ”
After Carter left, Maye filled herself with another glass of wine, leaned back in her chair, and took a sip.
Since tasting baijiu last time, she has found that she has gradually fallen in love with this hot and mellow feeling.
For Carter's previous invitation, she had a vague answer in her heart, some things really only know the result after trying, just like the white wine in her hand, although it is difficult to swallow at the first taste, but the mellow flavor after that is not comparable to sweet and sour fruit wine or bland ale.
Why don't you take your father back to the town to settle down after this play?
......
Roland arrived at the fortress of Changge two days later.
Perro Hermon and the members of the five families went out of the city to greet His Royal Highness the Prince.
After the First Army was stationed in the fortress, Roland headed straight for the castle and held a brief meeting.
"I have received reliable information that Tifeko has sent a force and is heading towards the fortress. He sat on the main seat of the staircase hall and looked down at the nobles below, "I don't know how many or what they are by, but they are undoubtedly coming for me." According to Tifeco's usual style, they would inevitably augment their forces by taking civilians captive, and then use drugs to force them to attack. ”
"May I ask Your Highness," Viscount Eli of the Wolf Family wondered, "What do you mean by ...... medicine?"
"An evil red pill that can give civilians more power than knights, but when the effect is over, the person who takes it can only die in a helpless struggle. Except for Perot, the other four families did not know about the secret medicine of the church, and Roland simply explained its characteristics and origin, "In this way, Tifeco intends to constantly weaken the resistance in the west, and any population that he does not need will be the target of captivity, and your territory is also among them. As the Warden of the West, I ask that you transfer all members of your clan and the commoners of your realm into the city, so as not to expand Tifeko's ranks. ”
"However, the grain in our warehouses and the goods stored in it ......"
"How much can you transport," Roland interrupted categorically, "I'll only give you three days, and the surrounding civilians must gather in the fortress. When I have repelled Tifeko's troops, I will naturally let you go. ”
After the meeting, the prince summoned the iron axe into the castle.
In fact, he did not reveal to the nobles what he knew - the team from the royal capital had been exposed under the carpet detection of Lightning and Maisie. Unlike the previous invaders, they were heading west along the main course of the Chishui River in their dhows, and would enter the hinterland of the West through the town of Liuye.
This is a tricky route, when the enemy can cross the fork point, either turn back along the tributaries to attack the south and east gates of the Changge Fortress, or continue westward to the border town.
In order to avoid the need to divide his forces and defend them, he must take the initiative to concentrate superior forces to crush the enemy at one point.
Obviously, at the fork of the Chishui River, it is the most suitable place for sniping. (To be continued.) )
