"Convene a high-level military meeting immediately!"
After receiving the letter, Nicholas's expression changed suddenly, and he immediately shouted to Basil Heber, the clerk beside him.
The decision-makers 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 given the privilege to attend this military meeting.
Time was running out, so Nicholas went directly to the topic: "About the defensive battle of Black Rock Fortress, a new situation has emerged. Baron Dio, please give a brief description."
Bai Xiaowen nodded and said: "Everyone here should know about the undead plague. Before, we doubted whether the undead plague was related to the remnants. Now there is conclusive evidence that the undead plague is a virus war launched by the remnants. At least the undead
The mastermind behind the plague is on the side of the remnants."
Bai Xiaowen then told the story that the Blood Spear Warlord Kelhan and the troll warriors under his command had been "turned into undead".
"These filthy beasts!"
"Damn bastard!"
…
In the small conference room, there were endless curses, but the nobles and clergy were obviously not very good at cursing, and the words they kept coming back and forth were nothing but dirty, despicable words.
When everyone had scolded them enough, Bai Xiaowen said again: "After killing the Blood Spear Clan warlord, I intercepted an important piece of information. The undead plague has spread widely in northern Xinjiang, and the first batch of undead plague armies are currently on their way.
Toward the Black Rock Defense Line... Obviously, this confirms another of our previous guesses, that is, the undead creatures transformed by the plague are controlled by the mastermind behind it, the Lord of the Plague."
"In other words, what we are going to face next are not only those beasts, but also countless undead plagues?" Earl Denton's face turned dark and he sucked in the air-conditioning and said, "Great. Should we discuss it?
How can I die with more dignity?"
"I suggest abandoning the city and returning to the imperial capital." Nicholas' chief of staff cleared his throat.
Li Shuyi's heart skipped a beat and she looked at Bai Xiaowen. If the chief of staff's suggestion came true, how would the second main mission "The War at Black Rock" be completed? It was simply unrealistic for Bai Xiaowen and herself to fight against the remnants and the plague army.
.
However, Bai Xiaowen looked calm and had no intention of speaking. Li Shuyi could only suppress her doubts and said no more.
Nicholas shook his head: "Abandoning the city is equivalent to handing over the entire northern Xinjiang to the coalition of survivors! I will not do that."
The magic advisor said: "With all due respect, Your Highness, I see no hope of victory in this war. Therefore, we should take a step back to preserve the strength of the Imperial Legion. In addition, your safety is also very important."
Chief of Staff: "Yes, those plague undead are terrifying creatures that never sleep and have no sense of pain. Although their strength is not high, they are the best cannon fodder for siege warfare. This is only the first batch, and there will be a second batch later.
The third batch! They can completely drag us down."
Bai Xiaowen said: "Your Highness, Archbishop, I have a plan to deal with the plague undead."
"What's the plan?" Everyone's eyes in the conference room showed hope at the same time.
"I'm sorry, this plan is so important that it can only be reviewed 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 serious, and his brows almost twisted into the character "Chuan".
Archbishop Arlo came over to watch together. The old man was kind-hearted at first, but after two glances, his expression quickly changed. He kept looking up at Bai Xiaowen, his expression a little excited...even angry.
Everyone in the conference room stretched their necks like chickens and ducks waiting to be fed.
Finally, the two big guys finished reading.
"This is really a crazy plan. However, executing this plan requires a lot of preparation work. I don't think we have the time now," Nicholas breathed out. "I am very lucky that I don't need to decide whether to execute it..."
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! How dare you do this without my permission!"
"Please rest assured, Your Highness," Bai Xiaowen said calmly, "I just made preparations and did not implement them."
Archbishop Arlo couldn't sit still anymore and stood up and said: "I firmly oppose this plan! If we do this, what is the difference between us and those beasts abandoned by God?"
Bai Xiaowen shook his head and said: "Archbishop, if there is a chance of survival, I don't want to implement this crazy plan. But this is the only way to fight against the remnants and the undead from the plague."
"In comparison, I would rather take the advice of your chief of staff and abandon the city and leave." Archbishop Arlo said.
"Then what? Give all the humans in Northern Xinjiang to those beasts to make food rations?" Bai Xiaowen's words were also very harsh.
"Stop arguing." Nicholas's expression changed, as if he was experiencing a fierce ideological struggle.
"Then, let it be left to His Highness the Prince to make the decision. Let me reiterate once again, I will not implement this plan without His Highness the Prince's order." Bai Xiaowen took the parchment back and folded it under the eager gaze of everyone in the conference room.
.
"Your Highness, don't let us become sinners of mankind." Archbishop Arlo put pressure on Nicholas.
Bai Xiaowen remained silent. He believed that realistic pressure was more effective than verbal pressure.
Who is Nicholas? Kane's version of Alsace who can issue an order to massacre the city without blinking an eye! He didn't immediately agree to the plan. He probably still had some luck and felt that there was still hope of defending the Black Rock Fortress through normal means.
.
Finally, Nicholas spoke:
"Don't initiate this plan."
Before Archbishop Arlo could take a breath, Nicholas added:
"...Not for now."
After saying these four words, Nicholas breathed out and sat back on the chair. He was no longer in the mood to continue the meeting, and waved his hands to let everyone disperse: "Go back to your posts and prepare to fight. Dio... and your sister, please
Stay."
Soon, only Nicholas, Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi were left in the conference room.
"Dior, what preparations have you made for this plan?"
Bai Xiaowen thought for a while and selectively told Nicholas some preparation details.
"That is to say, you have already started preparations when you were in Red Leaf City," Nicholas smiled bitterly, "I don't know if I should praise you. Your foresight may become a nightmare for mankind."
"But this will first become a nightmare for the enemy." Bai Xiaowen said.
"Speaking of which... Dior, you and your sister Charlotte are not from this world, right?" Suddenly, Nicholas said something surprising.
