Just when the scene fell into noise and chaos, the old knight Essek stood up and laughed loudly.
No one noticed where the old guy was sitting just now. He seemed to have no sense of presence. He sat in the corner without saying a word, like a chameleon lurking on the branches, staring at every move on the scene, and he just said
When he appeared on the stage, he immediately attracted the attention of the audience.
The originally noisy debate immediately dispersed, replaced by everyone's anger and contempt.
In terms of rank, this old knight can be said to be the lowest-ranking person in this meeting. He has neither a huge legion nor rich funds, nor is he a prince. He can participate in such a high-level military meeting, just
It was because he was the first person to lead his men to join the Kislev Army in Sylvania. It was precisely because of his leading actions that human lords from all over Sylvania joined one after another.
He joined the Ice and Snow Coalition and expanded the strength of the coalition.
Out of gratitude, Rod asked him to attend every meeting.
I just never thought that this guy would become crazy in such a serious situation.
"What are you talking about? Old man!"
Sibes, the leader of the Bear Knights, was the first to stand up and angrily criticized the old knight.
However, Essek looked indifferent, even at ease.
"I mean, everyone here is stupid."
"Don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else, it's just the literal meaning."
After a few words of ridicule, everyone's eyes were focused on this crazy old man.
"What about you? Who are you? Which stinky ditch are you maggots crawling out of?"
Celta slapped the table and yelled angrily.
"This little brother, please show some respect. With my age, I can even be your great-grandfather. I should treat the old man with respect."
"There is no need for respect for people like you!"
Someone in the crowd echoed.
"Who am I? What am I?"
"An arrogant fool!"
Someone in the crowd echoed and shouted again.
"No, no, on the contrary, I am more awake than you, and I am better at using my brain."
Seeing that the crowd's attention had been completely attracted, Essek became a little more serious.
He walked to the center of the conference table and placed his hands on the long table, ignoring everyone's expressions of wanting to eat him alive.
"Knight, stop selling your pockets and tell me if you have any ideas."
Caroline couldn't help but urge.
Rhodes sat in his original position and said nothing. On this occasion, the old knight was so confident that he was not afraid of everyone's gaze and ridicule. He definitely had an idea in his heart. What Caroline said was what Rhodes wanted to say.
, there will be no obstruction.
"Yes, noble lady."
Essek stood up and walked slowly around the conference table.
"The undead are afraid of fire. It's a known fact."
"Because the flames can completely burn their corpses, making it impossible for vampires to resurrect them."
"We should have made good use of it, but in the past siege, I didn't see the power of the flames."
The old knight said slowly.
"We tarred the soldiers' weapons and set them on fire."
Sibes retorted.
"How much is that? You couldn't ignite the weapons in the hands of all the soldiers. I only saw sporadic flames lighting up from the front of the battlefield. They were weaker than the light of fireflies."
Essex grinned and laughed.
"What about you? Have you personally gone to the battlefield? If you haven't personally gone to the battlefield, what qualifications do you have to stand here and judge us?"
Sibes shouted angrily.
"Of course I'm going to the battlefield."
The old knight grinned and said with a smile.
"No! I didn't see any new injuries on you. You're lying!"
Celta roared angrily.
If Rhodes hadn't given him a wink, the captain of the Predators would have rushed forward in the next second and thrown this old knight out of the tent.
"Do I need to lie? Does lying make sense?"
"Children, I have experienced much more darkness and terror than you have experienced. Such a battlefield is nothing to me. I went to the battlefield and rode my old horse to charge forward, but soon
Unfortunately, I couldn't squeeze in. I was blocked by the crowd outside the city gate."
Essek said it slightly leisurely, which actually made people feel that these words were somewhat ironic.
He was indeed being sarcastic...
This made both Rhodes and Yuri look embarrassed.
"You should be lucky that you saved a dog's life!"
Celta responded.
"Well, no matter what you say, I went to the battlefield and came back alive. This is an undeniable fact."
The old knight shrugged again and said leisurely.
"Speak quickly, Sir. If you have an idea, please speak up quickly. Don't waste everyone's time here."
Rhodes urged, this old guy was playing hard to get, which was indeed making people a little impatient.
"Okay, Lord."
Essek turned around and bowed respectfully.
"Actually, the method is very simple, that is, use fire to burn them to death. According to your Sigma Church, what is it called?"
"Oh, yes, I remembered it, it's called purification."
"Purge them with fire."
"Sounds like a good name."
Essek said and laughed to himself.
"Do you even need to say this?"
"The question is how to use fire on a large scale?"
Bishop Yuri said with disdain.
"Holy fire from heaven, Lord Bishop."
As soon as he finished speaking, Essek became the target of public disapproval again... This time, even Rhodes couldn't find a way out for him.
If order hadn't been there, the priests would have beaten this crazy old man to a pulp long ago.
"Holy fire descends from heaven, it's true."
He repeated it again, and then continued with a ghostly expression——
"We can attack this group of undead with fire from outside the city."
"What's the meaning?"
Walkerma asked curiously.
"Grouping soldiers' weapons with fire attacks is too slow and unrealistic. We have a better weapon - the dwarf flame cannon."
As Essek said, a ghostly smile appeared on his thin face again.
"Even cannons can't cross the city wall and directly bombard the undead army in the city. Why do you think that dwarf can do it?"
As soon as Bishop Yuri finished speaking, the dwarfs opposite could not sit still.
"Old man, who are you looking down on?!"
Prince Shizui pushed away his chair, stood up and cursed loudly.
"Don't be angry, my partner, listen to me. Sit down first."
Before the two of them could argue, Essek pushed the dwarf back to his seat with one hand.
"Under normal circumstances, it really can't be done."
"But we have high ground. There is a hill in the southwest corner of Duncanhof. I have surveyed it. From that position, we can bombard Duncanhof from a high position."
Essek said.
"I know that hill, but how are you going to get the artillery up the hill? And transport it up under the eyes of the undead? That hill is difficult for even the troops to climb. There is no way to go."
Marcus, who has become an Imperial Knight, interjected.
"There is a way!"
Essek changed the topic and his tone suddenly became serious.
"The dwarf ranger discovered a path leading to the top of the mountain. Because the trees on that mountain had not been cut down before, you couldn't see it, and you didn't know that there was a way to reach the seemingly steep and dangerous mountain."
The old knight's words made the scene suddenly quiet, and many people suddenly discovered that this might really be a shortcut to break into Duncan Hof Castle.
