"Dig quickly, you must dig before sunset, and you must not make any mistakes. People who have not done their job well will have no food to eat."

A large area of ​​open space has been cleared in front of the city gate of Bauhinia City as the battlefield at that time. There is a busy scene inside and outside the city gate. According to Edward's order, preparations for war fortifications are underway. The city gate uses large equipment to carry and install and reinforce. These Thor cannons come from the weapon workshop of Dawn Castle. They have excellent performance and great power. Even in the March battle in Ark Harbor, they have not been used, but are now used in Bauhinia City, which is obviously to give the invading enemy an unexpected surprise. But it is not difficult to see that Edward did not look forward to Ark Harbor at the beginning. Although he supported a lot of manpower and materials, all of them were paving the way for the subsequent battle.

There are many trapped horse pits in front of the city gate. The fortifications have been prepared since before, and it is almost time to work in the air. There are many trapped horse pits in front of the city gate. It can be imagined that it will cause great obstacles to the enemy at that time. What makes the workers puzzled is that the width and depth of these trapped horse pits are inconsistent with the previous standards. Even if they are dug, they will be suspected of rushing to work.

In fact, it was not only a trap, but also a loose formation in terms of defense. This made the officers and generals in charge of leading the army very puzzled. For this reason, a meeting was being held in the city today.

The host is naturally Edward.

A tactical sand table has been set up in front of him, and Edward performed tactical deductions.

Broy, the leader of the King of Mountains, was protesting against Edward's too shallow horse pits and loose defenses. Edward waited for him to finish and said, "I know everyone's doubts, so today's meeting. Yes, our horse pits are not wide enough and deep enough, and the defense line layout is full of loopholes, and other arrangements are probably the same. It seems like I want to send out Bauhinia City. So I would like to ask everyone, if you are the leader of the enemy, what would you think when you see such a city defense?"

"What do you think?" Bloy snorted: "Just push down and crush."

"That's it." Edward said: "According to my observation, the head coach of the enemy, the man who called himself the King of Pingxi, was very proud. If we saw that our defense line was so fragile, it would be possible to personally rush to the battlefield with his personality. For him, after three months in Ark Port, he now needs a great battle to prove his ability. So I gave him this illusion, once he did..."

Edward reached out to pick up a model representing King Pingxi on the sand table, put it in the city wall, and then placed several other colors of models around him. He said, "At that time, he will find that we are loose on the outside and tight on the inside. I have asked Miss Anne, the master who rescued Orlando on the eve of the night, and a few of us are good at playing together. The goal of this battle is to get rid of King Pingxi. Their empire is known as Panlong. If the dragon has no leader, it will probably be in chaos. So the purpose of this battle is to kill King Pingxi, even if the Bauhinia City is lost, it will be spared. It is just a city. If the enemy is in chaos, we have the chance to retake it. What's more..."

He blew a sigh of relief at the rear of the battlefield on the sand table. The sand spread out, revealing a model representing the army: "Our main force will be placed behind them. Once King Pingxi is killed, our main force will immediately rush up and drill through the enemy's midfield, so I'm sure that they can get the Bauhinia City."

"But this is always a bit risky." Orlando frowned and said, "Your arrangement is based on the fact that King Pingxi will personally rush to the battlefield. What if he doesn't do that?"

"Then it will be a tough battle, but don't forget that our main force is behind the battlefield. This position is very convenient whether it is attacking or retreating." Edward emphasized and said, "And I thought that the prince's character would probably rush to the battlefield in person. Of course, just in case, I will also let Lord Orlando be in this position at that time."

He pointed to the direction of the city wall: "He couldn't kill Lord Orlando the eve. If he saw you again at this time, I think he would be unable to help it. People like him, even if they knew there was a trap, would rush up."

"Let me do bait?" Orlando narrowed his eyes.

Edward smiled and said, "It is best for Orlando to be willing to do it. If you are worried about safety, then I have a backup plan."

He drummed the drummer.

A man walked into the conference hall. He was as similar to Orlando's armor, figure, and hair. Even his appearance was very similar, but his temperament and source power were far less than Orlando. Edward walked over and said, "This is the stand-in I prepared for the adults. Let him replace him. I think there is a distance between him, and King Pingxi cannot tell the truth."

"You are considerate." Orlando shook his head and said, "But no need, I will do this. Since I want to inspire King Pingxi to take action, I have to do it myself. A substitute has too many variables."

"If you think about it, I can't guarantee that there is no danger."

Orlando said lightly: "There is no security in war, it's decided."

"Oh well."

Next, some details were discussed before the meeting ended. After everyone left, Orlando did not leave. Edward looked at him: "Is there something wrong?"

"You all go out, I have something to talk about with the Count." Orlando sent the remaining people away, reached out to pick up one of the models and said, "Earl Edward, I have something confused. When we were attacked the night before, I was sure that the code had been sent. Logically, your dark blade should have received the signal, but why did I see no support until Miss Anne appeared?"

Edward said expressionlessly: "In fact, after receiving the news, I was already preparing to rescue you, but Miss Anne moved faster. By the time the troops we supported were about to set off, you had arrived in Bauhinia City."

"It's really that way?"

"Does Lord Orlando think I will abandon you?"

Orlando looked at him and said, "Under that situation at that time, you didn't have a strong man on hand who could match the King of Pingxi. If you organized a supportive organization, it would be very likely that you would not be able to save me even if you accompanied me. So with your personality, it is not impossible to treat me as an abandoned child, what do you think?"

Edward smiled faintly: "But the truth is that you are safe and sound, and the result is always more important than the process, right?"

Orlando shook his head and said, "Although you are Allen's man, I honestly have no confidence in working with you. Lord Earl, I don't mind being an abandoned son. I know that in war, the superiors have to measure far from being a matter of one person, but a battle of one thing. But if you want to do this, please tell me that at least I know that I am worthwhile."

"If it were Allen, I think he would have done that."

After saying that, he left.

Edward looked at the closed door, buckled his fingers on the table, and suddenly bounced heavily, as if he was venting. Then he sighed: "But I'm not him yet."
