Chapter 448 Decision

"Yeah!" After hearing Heglis' words, everyone nodded and agreed.

But only Duke Augustus immediately sneered: "I don't think this is a good idea!"

"Yeah? Why is this?" the emperor asked immediately.

"Report to your Majesty!" Augustus said respectfully: "The place connected this time is located in the northeast of the orcs. It is remote and has few resources. Once the troops are stationed there, all supplies must be transported from a long distance. Not only is the road there not smooth, but the transportation troops are difficult to move. In winter, it is so cold that even the ears can be frozen. The heavy snow is as thick as half a person, so it is almost impossible to move. In this case, it is probably necessary to station 10,000 people in charge of logistics. Obviously, how can we garrison a large number of troops there? This money can't be afforded?"

"Oh, what's right!" Everyone frowned after hearing this.

"Ahem!" Heglis coughed calmly, suppressing everyone's discussion, and said lightly: "I naturally considered this, and there was also a solution!"

"Is that so? I'd like to hear it clearly!" Augustus sneered.

"Actually, the solution is very simple. One is to raise food locally. Although it is cold in winter, it is still hot in summer. At least one season of food can be planted. With a lot of land, it is still OK to support some sergeants!" Heglis explained: "As for the rest, there is no need to worry, because today is different from the past. In the past, we were poor, and only my family had a space ring in the country, but now, whether it is a teacher or Princess Catherine, even Stephen, there is a space ring. Moreover, the space of these four space rings is very large. If you add up, you can hold a hill at a time. Although heavy snow can stop ordinary people, it is nothing to experts. So, as long as you send a sanctuary and hold these four space rings, you can transport a large number of military rations or other materials. Even if it doesn't work at once, it's enough to come so many times, right?"

"Oh!" When everyone heard the old mage, Lao Xie and Catherine had large space rings, they exclaimed. You know, all the large space rings are sub-artifacts. In the past, let alone Catherine, even as the patron saint of the Griffin Kingdom, there was no lightning magic saint. But now, even Lao Xie has one, and each of them has one. The situation is really strange, and it's no wonder they are so shocked.

In fact, even the emperor was a little jealous. After all, there were four things that he didn't have, so the emperor was naturally a little psychologically unbalanced. However, because these four people had reasons for not being able to move, he could only be jealous in his heart. But he could not ask for it at all.

But now that Heglith's opinion was made, the emperor was immediately happy and hurriedly said: "Good idea, but when it is really necessary, please give me a teacher and I'm willing to lend it!"

The old mage is certainly unwilling to get in touch with this thing, but now the overall situation is the most important thing, so he could only smile bitterly: "As long as I need it, I will naturally not be stingy!"

After receiving the guarantee from the old mage, the emperor immediately became confident and nodded and thanked him quickly. Then he said to Heglis: "Then how many people do you think we can send?"

"Of course, the specific number must be determined after discussing with other countries. However, according to my estimate, I am afraid that at least one hundred thousand troops will be dispatched, because no matter how small it is, I am afraid that even if I have the advantage of the geographical advantage, I will not be able to stop these guys!" said Heglis.

"Oh, 100,000 people!" The emperor shook his head helplessly and said, "This is also impossible. But the so-called long-term defense will lead to failure. I am worried. How long can this line of defense composed of coalitions resist the opponent's offensive? If it is broken through, how should we deal with it?"

"This~" Heglis smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, because time is tight, I have not yet matured my strategy. Only this emergency move can be provided to you!"

"How is that?" The emperor was a little disappointed, but when he looked up, he suddenly found Lao Xie who was closing his eyes and resting at the end.

When the emperor saw Lao Xie closing his eyes, he thought he was sleeping. This behavior naturally made the emperor even more angry. He said to himself, "You bastard, I'll ask you to come to a meeting to discuss the safety of the mainland, but you sleep with me. Isn't this too ungrateful?"

Thinking of this, the emperor could no longer bear it and said coldly, "Little Stephen!"

"What's the matter?" To the emperor's surprise, Lao Xie woke up immediately when he heard the emperor's greeting, without any trace of distractedness.

The emperor was so angry that he simply asked, "I want to know, do you have any supplements to the Duke of Heglis's plan?"

"Yeah, it's a little bit!" Lao Xie said lightly.

"Yeah?" When the emperor heard this, his eyes lit up and he hurriedly asked, "That's great. What's your idea? Tell me quickly!"

"Is it appropriate to say this?" Lao Xie sneered and asked back.

"Huh?" the emperor frowned and said, "This is the conference hall, and the people around him are all my most trusted loyal ministers. What can I say?"

"Last autumn hunt!" Lao Xie did not answer the emperor's words, but said seriously: "Our noble children were attacked by a group of demons only a hundred miles away from the imperial capital. Although the real murderer was found later, I think everyone here should understand that the guy was just a scapegoat, and the real mastermind behind the scenes was not found out."

"Being able to avoid the omnipresent royal spies' search or attacks means that he must be in a high position." Lao Xie then sneered: "As for who it is, although it has not been found out, it is very likely that it is in this hall!"

"Nonsense!" Augustus immediately said dissatisfied: "Who is not loyal to the Griffon Kingdom here? They have put in so much effort for this country, how can you bear to slander them?"

Obviously, Augustus was deliberately putting a hat on Lao Xie, with the purpose of sowing his relationship with these high nobles!

Sure enough, after Augustus finished speaking, most of the people around him showed dissatisfaction with Lao Xie.

Of course, Lao Xie is not that easy to deal with. He said directly: "I just kindly remind everyone that the traitor is not targeting any specific person at all. Why do you take the opportunity to provoke discord and jump up and down? Do you have a ghost in your heart?"

"You, you have a ghost!" How dare Augustus admit it? So he hurriedly explained to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the Augustus family will always follow your subordinates, and they are loyal to you and have no intention of being single!"

"I know this!" The emperor hurriedly comforted him, and then said to him: "But little Stephen said something, it makes sense. The last demon attack was indeed very strange, and obviously there were great nobles involved. Otherwise, so many powerful demons would have infiltrated, and it would be impossible not to be noticed! So his caution is understandable. Don't misunderstand, do you know?" And the last sentence was what he was going to say to all the personnel.

"Yes!" Everyone nodded and agreed sensibly, without a trace of anger, but Lao Xie knew that he was afraid that there would be more enemies in the future.

However, Lao Xie didn't care about this. Anyway, with his strength, he was more than enough to be an emperor, but the time was not ripe enough.

After appeased them, the emperor said to Lao Xie: "With your intention, how should we tell us your plan so that we will not leak the secret?"

"I hope the fewer people know, the better!" Lao Xie said lightly.

"That's it!" the emperor frowned, and then quickly said: "Then today's meeting will come here for the time being, and it will continue tomorrow. In addition, teachers, Catherine, Heglis, Stephen, you guys stay! The rest of the meeting will be over!"

After the emperor's order was issued, although the others were a little unwilling to give up, they still left quickly. Even the special beast tribe was sent to the interface.

Seeing that the Encyclopedia had been cleaned up, Lao Xie said lightly: "Your Majesty said it right just now. If you keep it for a long time, you will lose it. So no matter how strong the defense is, there will always be times when it is broken. Therefore, we obviously cannot always be in the defensive stage. We must find a way to attack and take the initiative back!"

"Aren't you talking nonsense?" The emperor finally couldn't help but say angrily: "Didn't you hear what we said just now? The temperature in the places where the demons stay is often ridiculously high. Our soldiers can't survive at all. What a f*cking counterattack?"

"Who told you that if you can't attack, you can't get the initiative back?" Lao Xie sneered: "This is just two different things!"

"Yeah?" The emperor heard this and then said half-believingly: "If it were you, how could you take the initiative?"

"It's very simple. I will arrange a few troops on the front, then drop the large troops to the rear, find a good place to form an encirclement. After the troops in front exchange fire with the demons, once they are not supported, they will retreat immediately, attract the pursuers to the ambush circle, and then kill them in one fell swoop." Lao Xie then explained: "As long as you kill the opponent's main force in the ambush circle, you will no longer have to be afraid of the opponent? Moreover, at this time, you can also use the loopholes left in advance to regain the occupied pass again and gain an advantage again."

"That's right, but how did you know that someone would chase you into the ambush circle?" the emperor said, "If this plan fails, wouldn't it be a detriment to the people on the defense line?"

"Haha, as long as you sprinkle more gold and silver objects on the way to retreat, with the irritability and greed of the demon legion, it is hard for me to imagine that they will rationally give up the pursuit!" Lao Xie couldn't help but smile and said, "And once they pursue, what awaits them will surely be destruction!",
