In the hall of Grizzly Bear Castle, everyone no longer gave Count Hillel face, and publicly accused him of his madness and stubbornness.
Edmund was even more angry and slapped the table with his armored hands.
Everyone was talking about it, but Cyril still insisted on his own idea. He wanted the Northern Army to stay in Grizzly Bear Castle and use the excellent geographical advantages of Grizzly Bear Castle to fight against the greenskins until they waited for the Queen's reinforcements. But the other lords simply did not
They don't want this. They have witnessed the terror of Ironhide and know the huge scale of the Greenskin Army. It is a powerful army that cannot be defeated. Even if the entire Kislev tries its best, it cannot stop the Greenskin invasion, let alone a
Little Grizzly Bear Castle.
Even if there are natural fortifications, in the face of absolute power, the iron wall is of no help. Of course, it's not that Xi Ruier doesn't understand this truth, he just has his own little calculation...
During the winter, the Snow Queen promised him to help him rebuild Watch Keep, which was the most important thing to him. Is a lord with no population and no castle still considered a lord? Watch Keep has been shattered after the orc invasion.
It was in such terrible condition that the towns were destroyed, the population was lost, the farmland was abandoned, and trade was almost cut off. Even the army was barely maintained by Xi Ruier, who had spent money from his family. The only thing he counted on was the assistance of the Snow Queen.
The Queen warned him that when Kislev encounters difficulties, he can no longer retreat. Otherwise, let alone aid, the Queen herself will not let him go when the greenskin crisis is over. After weighing the pros and cons, I hope
Riel chose to stick to Grizzly Bear Castle, waiting for the Queen's reinforcements, and attacked the greenskins from both front and back. As for drawing the greenskins away, Xiriel knew that the leader of the orcs was actually chasing Rhodes... He had no need to fight with Rhodes.
Walk together...
However, he is only standing on his own side... For the overall situation, no lord is willing to stay and wait to die...
After the battle at Watchburg, everyone knew that what Rhodes said was right. This was an unstoppable army. The only way was to fight guerrillas and slowly lure it out of Kislev.
"Am I crazy? Huh, tell me, are we retreating as fast as the greenskins are pursuing us? Where do you want to retreat to? At the beginning, Rhodes, your reinforcements only had 3,000 people, but now, our troops are close to 10,000.
There are many people and a large number of wounded. Tell me, how fast can such an army retreat?"
Cyril sneered.
Although Hillel had his own plan to stay at Grizzly Bear Castle, I have to say that his words are somewhat reasonable. It is not easy to retreat for the 10,000 Northern Allied Forces. If there are a few hundred people, they can come and go freely. If there are two or three thousand people, they can come and go freely.
, it has been difficult to maintain a rapid march of the entire regiment. But now with 10,000 people, it is basically impossible for the entire regiment to march urgently. Someone will always be left behind. After all, not every soldier is a standing soldier... The difference in physical fitness and quality makes this team
It is simply impossible for the coalition forces to complete a large-scale retreat in a short period of time.
"If you retreat, there is a chance of survival. Hiding in this castle will only lead to death!"
Digel, the lord of Snow Rock City, said loudly.
"A dead end? Not necessarily? The Snow Queen will send legions to support us. There is also a shooting army in the capital, a Snow Eagle legion, and many elite wing cavalry. As long as we wait..."
"No need to wait, Catalina will not send troops."
Giger interrupted the count. The pale sunlight shone on his face through the narrow windows of Grizzly Bear Castle, outlining his rough and stern face.
"Because even if the shooting army is dispatched, it will not be able to defeat the greenskins. You can imagine this. Even if the shooting army of two thousand people is 100% accurate, it will kill at most two thousand greenskins in one salvo. The filling speed of the muskets
You know, when the green skins charge, it is simply not enough for the shooting army to fire three volleys. The Ice Queen will not send out this trump card. Only by hiding on the city wall and shooting can the power of the shooting army be maximized. Kislev City
The city wall is tall and thick. Even if the outer city falls, there will still be an inner city. As for the Snow Eagle Legion and the Griffon Legion, they were just beaten to pieces by the iron skin. Do you think they will be dispatched again? Even if they are dispatched, it will not help, it will only
Just become the target of massacre by the greenskins."
Jiger spoke calmly and calmly.
His words were like a basin of cold water poured on Cyril's head, making this stubborn Earl look embarrassed.
"Yes, what Lord Giger said is correct. Dear Count Hillel, I also agree with the retreat plan. Although there are many problems, at least the Northern Army will not be wiped out."
Malte, the lord of Grizzly Bear Castle, interjected. Ever since the previous lord Benedick participated in the Erengrad rebellion and was imprisoned in the dungeon by the Snow Queen, Malte took over the castle. There is no doubt that he is the queen's man.
, it was the Snow Queen who sent him to take over the castle. Like other people who were promoted, Malte had to stand on the side of the queen, so from the bottom of his heart, he actually hoped that the northern coalition forces would retreat and lure the greenskins away.
.In this way, Grizzly Bear Castle can be saved from destruction. His situation is different from that of Cyril. Cyril led the Northern Army south to support the Snow Queen and defend the city of Kislev. If he retreats midway, he will
He was regarded as a coward and a traitor. But Malte was different. He stuck to Fort Grizzly and provided food and shelter to the huge Northern Army. No one would accuse him of doing anything wrong.
"The whole army will be wiped out? I don't think so."
Cyril raised his eyebrows and said. He observed Rhodes's face. After a greenskin invasion, he could no longer ignore the opinions of the white bear lord. Cyril knew that in the north today, the only one who could summon
Of all the members, only Rhodes.
But Rhodes remained silent. He sat there and observed the audience.
Finally, Xi Ruier couldn't help it anymore. He looked at Rhodes and whispered——
"You all know who Ironhide wants to challenge. Rhodes, I support your plan, but to be honest, you shouldn't bring other people with you in your plan. You should bring your own troops to distract Ironhide. That orc
The target is you, and since the number is small, you can also march quickly again..."
"Cyriel! Do you know what you are talking about?"
Once again, the earl was interrupted before he finished speaking. Edmund stood up and scolded angrily. He even ignored Cyril's title and title and directly shouted his name.
"When Watchfort was besieged by the greenskins, it was Rhodes who risked his life and brought reinforcements to support your castle. He barely managed to lure the greenskins away, saving Watchfort and the northern gate. He himself almost did it.
He died in a duel with Ironhide. Now, the greenskin army is coming again, but you want him to bear the risk alone? Let him walk on the blade alone again?"
Edmund asked loudly.
"First of all, I must thank Rhodes for his help to me and to Fort Watch. But let's talk about it now. In the current situation, it is the best way to let the troops of Blackhammer Castle retreat first. Only with a small number can we run fast.
, with a small number of people, it is convenient for guerrilla tactics..."
Cyril said shamelessly.
"Needless to say, Cyril, I'm really ashamed of you. You can hide here and wait for your queen to send reinforcements. I will follow Rhodes northward and lure the greenskins away. If my people fail to survive on the way,
, I will ask them to stop their rapid march and lead them to take another road. No matter how many greenskins I can distract, I will reduce the pressure on Rhodes and cover him. If there is no white bear lord in the north, it will be over!"
Jigel, the lord of Dusk and Winter Castle, stood up and knocked his battle ax on the ground, making a sonorous and powerful sound. Immediately afterwards, Edmund, the lord of Binglan Castle, also stood up, saying that he was following the army of Dusk and Winter Castle.
Rhode left and right. They looked around, and soon, the other lords stood up one by one, expressing their willingness to share the risk with Rhodes and the troops of Black Hammer Castle.
