Chapter 518 Under the lively Winter Veil Festival!
Ryan's original plan was to attack the Spire Palace after the spring plowing next year, and then at least reach the city of Mousilon before the autumn harvest, and then surround the city and prepare for a tough battle.
But now Aurora says she won't stay that long, which changes Ryan's plan.
Either he would give up his plan and attack the Spire Palace in advance, or he would give up Aurora's magical support and change his attack strategy.
This puts Ryan in a dilemma. He always likes to be fully prepared before acting: "My dear, do you know why Aurora is in a hurry to leave?"
"She is sitting there with Trovik, you come to ask me?" Veronica said impatiently: "Are you afraid of her?"
After saying that, Veronica smiled strangely: "Or, facing this mother and daughter, you are being commanded by the little head? Just like you are peeping under the table?"
Ryan's eyes suddenly became dangerous. His big hand reached out to a certain part of Veronica and pinched it gently.
"Ah!" Veronica immediately covered her chest with tears in her eyes: "Why are you pinching me!"
"You were talking nonsense." Ryan squinted at Veronica: "That was a misunderstanding."
"Huh~ You obviously like it..." Veronica fell silent, and the Witch of Gloria yawned. It is the middle of winter, there is ice and snow everywhere, and Veronica's magic power is at its lowest point in the year.
When she was eating, she felt very lethargic because of it. After eating, she sat next to Ryan and stopped talking.
Ryan stood up, came to the other side of the banquet, and found Theresa: "Dear Theresa, about Ms. Aurora..."
"Ryan, mother can't stay here for too long. There are many things for her to deal with in the parliament." Theresa held a glass of red wine. During this time, the sorceress was in high spirits because of Aurora's arrival: "She is
It will take some time to help me complete the finishing work of the wizard tower, and she will have to leave by the beginning of March."
"I understand." Ryan also expressed his understanding of Aurora's schedule. It is indeed not convenient for Aurora to stay here for a long time. There are too many things in the parliament for her to preside over.
Theresa saw her silent and thought that Ryan was a little displeased. The sorceress immediately said: "Lian, don't blame your mother. A strong man from the Sanctuary is extremely important to the Gloria Council. The northern part of the empire is not a cloth."
Retania, you only have a sanctuary here on the surface.
There are no less than ten powerful Holy Grail Grand Knights and Lake God Prophets in total, and there are even demigods. There are only three holy witches in the Coralan Council, Speaker Margarita, mother, and female elder Carolina, the elder.
Without the mother's time, many things in the parliament will not work."
Before she finished speaking, the sound of high heels approached from a distance. Aurora was dressed in a snow-white fox fur windbreaker, with long black shiny hair draped over her shoulders like flowing water, revealing her snow-white neck. The Holy Witch was holding a glass of red wine.
Seeing his daughter talking to Ryan, he immediately approached, with a faint sense of majesty on his face, but also a hint of kindness: "Lian, Theresa, what are you talking about?"
There was a faint scent of lavender on Aurora's body, and Ryan felt something strange after smelling it, because he often smelled this kind of body fragrance on the sorceress's body when he spent the night at Teresa's place. The Earl immediately subconsciously smelled it.
He took a step back and gave up his position.
"Mother, Ryan hopes you will stay here longer." Teresa said to Aurora.
"I can't stay here for too long. The limit will be until March." Aurora looked at Ryan with a threatening look: "After March will be the Green Grass Festival, and then the Parliament will absorb a large number of new witches.
Apprentice, I must personally ensure that girls with excellent magical talents cannot be picked away by Margarita and Carolina."
"I heard that Tsarina Katalin is also a member of the Gloria Council?" Ryan could only try to soften the topic.
"Katalin only joined the parliament in name only. She actually rarely left the Tsar Palace in Kislev." Teresa explained: "Katalin is an ice holy sorceress in the full sense. She
All her magic is ice magic, so she rarely leaves the Kislev Kingdom, because it is the only place that is frozen all year round, which makes her particularly powerful."
"That's it. I originally hoped that Ms. Aurora could stay longer and provide me with some help when the spring plowing here is over and I gather an army to attack the Spire Palace." Ryan had no choice but to tell the truth: "But
If you, Ms. Aurora, can only stay until March at most, my plan for a surprise attack on the Spire Palace will have to be revised."
"You deceived Teresa away from me and only gave her the identity of a female courtier, and now you want to extend your hand to me?" Aurora didn't like Ryan's attitude very much.
, the tone of the Holy Witch was very strong and sarcastic: "I can only help you within the scope of my ability, and I will not change my itinerary just because of your plan."
"Haha~ Ms. Aurora, you still haven't changed." Ryan nodded with a wry smile. He raised his glass: "Okay, I understand. Please drink this glass to the full. I wish you and Teresa good health! In Offa
further down the road.”
"Congratulations!" Aurora also picked up the wine glass and drank a full glass. She continued: "Ryan, I only have one child, Teresa, and she is now your female courtier. I don't approve of it."
Ryan frowned now. Does Aurora want to make a fuss about this relationship?
"Mother!" Teresa quickly spoke to ease the relationship between her man and her mother: "I did it voluntarily, Ryan did not force me."
Aurora controlled her tone, she paused deliberately, and then said: "But since this is Teresa's voluntary choice, I won't say anything, but you have to remember that if one day my daughter is wronged
Go back to Parliament and complain to me, and you will never see Theresa again, ever."
"Please rest assured on this point, I will treat Teresa well." Ryan's face softened slightly, and he took Teresa's little hand: "I will not tell false lies, and I will use actions to prove my sincerity.
"
"Well, very good." Aurora then let Ryan go, and she said to Ryan: "I will leave before the Green Grass Festival. You can go and discuss what to do with your allies."
"Okay!" Ryan walked away with the wine glass. He came to the corner of the banquet hall and found the dark elf Olika who was observing secretly. She was wearing a black and white lace maid dress and a turban. The dark elf was hiding in the corner and observing.
Watching every move of the guests: "Master?"
"Open that room and invite Her Majesty Morgiana, Francois, Bodrick, and Belle to join them in the small room." Ryan instructed the dark elf.
"Yes!" Orika nodded to express her understanding.
Twenty minutes later, winery, small room.
This room is located behind the study. It has no windows and faces water on both sides. The table is filled with various fruit snacks and exquisite red wine. Morgiana, the Witch of the Lake, Francois, Duke of Winford, and Boderick, Duke of Bordeleaux.
Five people, including King Belegar of the Angland clan and Ryan, gathered together to discuss the attack on Mousilon. In addition to these five people, the dark elf Orika also stood aside to serve.
Ryan told everyone that Aurora would not stay for long. He frowned and said: "Now we are facing a problem, that is, if we attack the Spire Palace as planned, we will not get Ms. Aurora.
If we want to get Ms. Aurora's help, then we must launch an attack in advance."
"Hey~ If you attack in advance, attack in advance. The soldiers of Angland are impatient to wait! As long as Brother Lane says a word, I will lead the army of our clan to join you!" Belega said from the table.
Half of his head protruded from the bottom, and he jumped around to let it go
Everyone noticed him. The King of Bafeng Mountain had drank a lot today and looked very excited: "Why are you thinking so much! Those annoying undead people don't have long-range weapons at all. Our cannon brigade and organ cannon brigade don't need two."
The sky can blow the Spire Palace to the ground!"
Ryan nodded, indicating that he understood what Belega meant, but Ryan knew that Belega only considered the issue of siege, because for the dwarves, they only needed to complete the combat mission, but Ryan had to consider countless things when fighting Mousilon.
Factors include the politics of the kingdom, the people of the territory, the morale of the army, and the changes in form that followed after the capture of the Spire Palace.
"My son Fedmund will lead Bordeleau's main army to join you." Duke Bodrick didn't care much: "It's up to you to decide when to fight."
"Me too." Morgiana also expressed her position.
Ryan couldn't help but hesitate, because no matter what choice he made, there were pros and cons, and the incident happened so suddenly that it was difficult for Ryan to make a decision. From his heart, Ryan was still more willing to act according to the original plan.
He finally set his sights on his father-in-law, the elegant and wise Francois.
Francois was in a very good mood recently. He stretched out his hand to stroke his long goatee. After thinking carefully for a while, his father-in-law said: "Ryan, I only need to confirm one thing with you, and that is to do your territory."
Are you ready for war?"
"It's done. The material distribution has been prepared and the army has been organized." Ryan nodded.
"Since we are ready, why not take action in advance?" Francois said slowly: "As long as the conditions are mature, we can attack Mousilon. The winter weather is a test for the physical strength and energy of the soldiers, but so is the undead.
Aren’t we going to move slowly in the cold climate? Since we can rely on the power of Aurora, the Holy Witch, we must seize the opportunity.”
"Well... But once we take action in advance, even if we capture the Spire Palace, our army will soon face spring plowing. At that time, we must disband part of the army and let them go back to farming." Ryan then raised his concerns: "This is very difficult.
It is easy for the Spire Palace to fall into the siege of the undead army..."
"Ryan, you pay too much attention to advance planning." Francois shook his head and said seriously: "In war, fighter planes are fleeting. Since you have such a good opportunity, you should attack in advance.
Go down to the Spire Palace and build fortifications there. Since we have completed our first phase
If you have an excellent opportunity to target the target, you should seize it immediately. You attach too much importance to being fully prepared. Even according to your prior plan, we cannot predict the movements of the undead. It is better to take it by surprise and attack. As for the spring plowing period, we only need to dispatch
Just enough troops to defend the Spire Palace."
"Attack first and then defend, right?" Ryan pinched his chin, thinking about the pros and cons: "There are many semi-professional soldiers in my army. They can stay and garrison when the time comes, but the time is relatively long and it is easy to fight with them.
The undead form a tug-of-war."
"No." Francois shook his head suddenly: "Don't forget, there is an army also looking for an opportunity to attack the Spire Palace."
"Laun and his Northern Knight Alliance!" Ryan's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood what Francois meant: "You mean, once I start attacking Mousilon, Lawn may also launch an attack, and at the same time, from
The north attacks Mousilon via Lyonnasay?"
"It's not a possibility, it's a certainty." Francois said with great certainty: "Because even if Lawn doesn't have such an intention, Richard will definitely let him do it. Richard and I have known each other for decades, so
It's Richard's style, so you don't need to hesitate. Immediately after the Winter Veil Festival, prepare for war. In February, our coalition forces will set out to camp in the northern part of Chalon Forest to prepare for the attack on the Spire Palace. Be sure to do spring plowing in March.
Attack the Spire Palace before!"
"This war is the key to determine whether you can solve the cancer of Musilon for the kingdom for nearly three hundred years. It is the key to determine whether you can obtain the title of Duke, and it is also the key to whether you can be the king!"
François said seriously: "I will send Jerrod to lead the main force of the Winford Principality to join you. Even for Sulia and the child in her belly, you must come back with victory! In this case, advance in advance
