Taking out the secret letter, Lester motioned to everyone in Christol to wait while he unfolded the latest information from Noslaith.
The information is expressed in coded language, only a short sentence.
[The white bird was entangled by the hunter, and landed in Mithril Village, but was caught in a despicable trap. The solid stone shackles blocked all the white bird's escape routes. He didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and the forest ranger was looking for the last crack in the stone. 】
"Fool……"
Realizing that Leicester had remained motionless since he picked up the secret letter, the seven people present looked at each other in confusion. Finally, the most prestigious one, Christol, took a few steps forward and carefully asked for instructions.
"Lord, do we want to terminate this demonstration?"
He nodded and put away the secret letter. Lester's expression was particularly serious, which gave the old blacksmith a bad feeling.
"Lord Christol, how many [Immortal Shield Bows] are there currently? How many crossbow bolts are there?"
"Together with the one being demonstrated, there are a total of three giant crossbows, two types of crossbow arrows, each with more than a dozen arrows."
"That's enough, load the carriage."
"Ah? Where are you going?"
Staring at the puzzled old blacksmith, Lester patted his shoulder and said in a deep voice.
"The battlefield is the best place to experiment with weapons. Weapons are not made to hit rocks, but to kill people."
Fifteen minutes later, under Margaret's order, three heavy Noxian horns were blown slowly, and the Emerald Territory instantly entered a level one war state.
In the hurried assembly of soldiers, the peace was instantly broken.
The chilling atmosphere instantly turned the prosperous Emerald Territory into a war fortress. All the soldiers canceled their vacations and quickly returned to the team. Shadow crossbowmen were fully armed and guarded all key points to guard against unintended attacks. The streets entered a state of martial law.
Shops closed one after another, people went home, and the congested commercial streets were quickly cleared, leaving enough room for the armed soldiers and logistics carriages coming and going.
After the initial military reform, the Emerald Territory has three major legions, namely the Noxian Black Iron Guards Legion, the Shadow Crossbowmen Legion and the Logistics Legion.
As the core body of external operations, the Black Iron Guard is divided into three thousand-man battle groups. Among them, the elite unit [Noxus Black Guard] has three brigades.
The Shadow Crossbowmen Legion is an auxiliary combat legion. It has the responsibility of guarding the Emerald Territory and assisting the Black Iron Guards in combat. It has two thousand-man battle groups, and the elite unit [Dark Blood Crossbow Guards] has a total of five brigades.
The Logistics Corps is responsible for non-frontal combat tasks such as material transportation, logistical supplies, bridge repairs and road repairs, and cooking pots. It has five thousand-man battle groups and is equipped with specialized transport convoys to assist the two legions in their combat missions.
The unified deployment of the three legions is directly responsible for the legion commander Margaret.
As the deputy commander, Epsol is mainly responsible for the security maintenance of the Emerald Territory. He has the power to deploy the Shadow Crossbowmen of the Emerald Territory in peacetime, and has the authority to take over the Black Iron Guards to guard the Emerald Territory during wartime.
The deputy commander of the Logistics Corps is a Mombian named Occam.
In addition, there is the Black Rose Mage Group, which is headed by Urza and Meredith. Counting the researchers from the underground fortress of the Shining Silver Mountains, the Mage Group has a total of forty mages, who are usually responsible for following the legion on combat missions.
In addition to the soldiers responsible for defending the Emerald Territory, the three major legions gathered in their respective military camps. After the commanders of the thousands-strong war group settled down their soldiers, they quickly arrived at the combat conference room of the eastern military camp.
The meeting was divided into two meetings, the first one was the meeting of lords, and the second one was the meeting of legion commanders.
In the confidential conference room, Lester, who was sitting in the main seat, was already in place. On the left and right sides were Epsol, the deputy commander of the Shadow Crossbow Corps, and Margaret, the commander of the Noxian Black Iron Guard. Below are Uzair and Deputy Commander Occam who is in charge of the Logistics Corps. Also listening are the angel sisters with the power of demigods. As the patron saints of the Emerald Territory, Misha and Sheena have the right to participate in the meeting of lords and learn everything. Confidential information.
In addition, each person participating in the meeting also has two staff or deputies standing behind him as think tanks and meeting minutes recorders to avoid missing or forgetting important matters.
Seeing that everyone was in place, Lester took off his mask and put it on the table, and said straight to the point.
"Everyone, we have enjoyed peace for so long that some people have forgotten that the beauty and wealth of the Emerald Territory were created by us with the swords in our hands. I just received news that Meredith, the leader of the Emerald Territory Mage Group, Ms. Si was arrested by Demacia’s Forbidden Demons. Obviously, this was Demacia’s contempt and serious provocation towards the Emerald Territory and Noxus.”
Seeing that everyone present was taking the meeting calmly and seriously, and was quite satisfied with the result that there were no idiots who liked to talk nonsense in the meeting, Lester continued.
“This meeting mainly discussed three points:
First, how to bring Ms. Meredith back from the hands of the Demacians through diplomatic means.
Second, if diplomacy fails, how can we use war to make the arrogant Demacians realize that the Emerald Territory is not a weak coward, but a vicious wolf who likes to eat meat and drink blood?
Third, if we want to go into a full-scale war, what kind of strategic arrangement do we need to achieve final victory and raze Demacia to the ground?"
"In addition, there are a few basic points,
First, use diplomatic means to communicate first. Without a full-scale war, we will not receive any support from the Immortal Fortress. We can only rely on ourselves.
Second, our purpose is only to rescue Ms. Meredith and deter Demacia, not to occupy Demacia's territory. Of course, if the Demacians are willing to go to war outright, this will be a full-scale war. , the Immortal Fortress will also join the battlefield and become our backup,
Third, during the negotiation process, as the moral party, we will not make any compromises, and if Ms. Meredith is harmed, Demacia must pay a sufficient price for it."
During the process of thinking, there was only the rustling of the recorder's paper and pen in the conference room. Seeing that the time was almost up, Lester pushed away the topographic map of Demacia that had been rolled up on the long table.
"The meeting begins."
…
More than six hours later, the sky had darkened, and the magic steel door of the confidential conference room was opened. Lester left with the Angel Sisters, and the rest of the people came to the hall where the food was placed to have a quick bite.
, and brought the commanders of his battle groups into the conference room again, and started a second tense military meeting with Margaret as the leader.
The second military meeting lasted until dawn, and the majestic magic steel door of the conference room was opened again. The exhausted participants returned to their stations and began to prepare for war.
The preparations for this war will last for a week, and one week is enough time to get a reply from the Demacians.
During this period, the Emerald Territory will lift the state of martial law in the entire city, but the traffic arteries in non-urban areas will still be under military blockade.
The messenger from the Emerald Territory rode a fast horse in the direction of the Immortal Fortress against the morning dew. Carts of carriages loaded with grain drove out of the granary. The war workshop was bustling with traffic. Brand-new armor and swords were packed in sealed boxes.
After moving into the carriage, bundles of arrows lay quietly in wooden boxes, waiting to swallow up fresh life.
The Noxian Black Guardsman from the south side of the Silver Mountains, born in Trevel Village, had made friends with the yordle Kled, and was a 21-year-old boy who aspired to become the Emerald Cavalry.
Armed with a military horse and a sword, under the protection of two night blade killers, with the iron will and fearless courage of the Emerald Territory, they embarked on the road to Demacia facing the rising sun.
He will personally bring back the Demacian response to the Emerald Territory,
