Constantine, the regent, was not idle while the dwarf army was reorganizing and stationing. He quickly grasped the military and political situation during his absence, and his summary of the situation just now was very good.
"I and my warhammer are at your service!" Snorri raised his glass and made a direct statement. There is not much cost in saying nice words at this time. Constantine is his employer, and he cannot be allowed to collapse.
"I propose to deal with those greedy pirates first! The arrival of friends from the mountains can free my boys!"
It seemed that there had been communication in advance. The captain of the Coast Guard made his statement first. The dress he wore showed his aristocratic status, but it was obvious that he was a coastal aristocrat who believed in Poseidon.
"Yes, because of the harassment of those things, my people have suffered a lot of losses. Now they can only rest in the harbor. You know, the waves will not stop for this! Our losses are increasing every day!"
Sir Moss stood up immediately. He was speaking out for all those who depended on the sea for their livelihood.
"I feel the anger of Mannann." Ms. Schumann said without starting to the end, but her identity was there, no one dared to doubt the weight of this sentence. Snorri noticed that she was wearing a huge
earrings, and some pearl embellishments that symbolize status. There are large tattoos on the exposed skin.
"I have to say that darkness is constantly brewing under the shadow of the tree canopy in Chalon Forest! The saint who went to investigate never returned. Sitting back and watching the darkness expand will only make short-sighted people regret it!"
The ageless Holy Grail Knight spoke. Yes, the Lake God's grace will not only give the knights greater power but also extend their lifespan. Although he is the only one in the Lake God,
Under the protection, his voice was still strong.
"Map!" Constantine ordered, and soon a map of Bordeaux was hung up. Half of this map is the ocean, and the land part only includes Bordeaux and a little of her border, but in
The drawing is very detailed, even the country roads are marked.
"Where did the pirates anchor?" The regent stared at the marked islands and reefs outside the bay.
"The Albatross told me that the dead who were supposed to provide nutrients for sea creatures have appeared in these locations!" Ms. Schumann tapped the map a few times with her scepter.
"So what about the vampires in the Chalon Forest? Hunters, lumberjacks, do you have any news about them?" Constantine shook his head and asked.
"As far as I know, no. The corpses in several logging village cemeteries stood up again and attacked the villagers. After that, they withdrew. From now on, we have no news from the woods." Another man dressed as a knight walked from the door.
Come in.
"This is Viscount Cameron, our city defense chief. He is responsible for the wall facing the land." Constantine added.
"Then we can be said to be like mice in a mine!" Snorri listened for a long time without any clue, so he said a dwarf proverb.
In fact, it is indeed difficult to effectively collect intelligence when facing the undead. They have air forces and the spirit troops they encountered before. It is difficult to use conventional scouts against them, and many camouflage and evasion methods are useless;
Another way of retaining information - bribing a traitor or arranging agents to infiltrate the interior - is not available. After all, the undead army is basically a corpse without the ability to think except for the leader, and most of the leaders are die-hards who are not of my race.
.
"We must deal with the threat at sea first!"
"The ocean is the foundation of Bordeaux's country!"
"Stinky fish and rotten shrimps that dare not come ashore will not make a difference! Those in the forest will destroy the entire principality!"
In the banquet hall, a quarrel broke out again. Snorri suspected that such disputes had broken out many times before. But his arrival would not change anything, because in the eyes of both parties, Snorri and the dwarves under his command
A large army is beneficial to one's plans.
"The reinforcements of the dwarves can replace my harbor guards, and together with my navy, we will definitely be able to defeat those water ghosts!"
"With our dwarf friends, we can march into the forest and stop the vampires from desecrating the lady's holy place!"
There are almost no absolute things in this world, and there is no so-called absolutely correct choice. However, how to guide people with intertwined but not completely consistent interests to make decisions that are relatively more beneficial to the overall situation in a limited period of time is leadership.
of course, this is a test for them.
If the prestige is high enough or the power is strong enough, then the leader can certainly suppress all objections and let the chariot move in the direction he wants. But Constantine is not enough at the moment.
"Everyone, do we have any other chance to win besides the power at hand?" Snorri saw that the humans were arguing, and he decided to provide some guidance within his power.
"Three days ago, the Duke brought back the news through the albatross. He will command the fleet to return soon. He will bring back the spoils of the expeditionary force, the wounded who need to be recovered, and then transport additional supplies back to the front line." Humans Seven
He told Snorri the news in no uncertain terms.
"So can't we solve the problem of vampire pirates by working together internally and externally?" Snorri asked strangely.
"You can, but you will have to wait for about half a month. People's losses will increase day by day, many orders will be overdue, and it will be difficult to store fresh goods for that long."
"After the New Year, spring plowing is around the corner. If the farmers keep hiding in the castle, who will cultivate the land?" The nobles in the interior also have reasons for hoping to eliminate the threat as soon as possible.
Snorri looked at the young regent opposite. He knew that this young man was also eager to resolve the crisis through his own efforts instead of waiting for his father and brother to bring in troops to return reinforcements.
"Then the water ghosts are also anxious. It's true that we can't collect information about them, but we can release false news to them. There are so many bats in the sky, don't worry they can't see them!" Snorri thought after thinking.
Came up with a clever plan.
"High, really high!"
"As expected of a person favored by the gods!"
The participants were all smart people with certain experience and abilities. They understood everything and responded quickly. Soon, orders were conveyed from the Duke's castle.
Overnight, the news that the Duke would lead the fleet to return in three days spread throughout the city of Bordello. At first, the citizens did not believe it, but the profit-seeking businessmen responded quickly.
They began to organize some of the hoarded goods into cash, and the workers who had been delayed in resuming work due to the war were called back. The news of the Duke's return was like a spring breeze, making the whole city recover from the winter.
