There are three thousand people sitting in the corner, their bodies are shaking all the time, they can't concentrate at all, there is nothing they can do, who are all the people in this room!
Ghouls, abominations, barbarians, dwarves, and a king of the hill who only comes out in thousands. By the way, this two-headed ogre is also very rare. In the corner next to it, there is a restrained
Bugbear, Goddess above me, I never dreamed that I would participate in a combat meeting with a stupid bugbear. With its poor brain, can it understand those complicated tactics?
But these are nothing. The most frightening thing is the two dark elves, Di Polo. How can these extreme racists coexist with humans? To be honest, the moment I saw them, the three captains
They almost drew their swords on guard.
"Where did the Duke find these weird subordinates?"
The three captains looked at each other thoughtfully, and suddenly discovered that the person they were explaining was a death knight. It was under his command that they escaped unscathed. By the way, according to those death knights, he seemed to
He is still a prince, and the death banshee following Downton is Princess Snowman.
"Downton, what do you think?"
After Rosicky finished speaking, he asked directly.
"You three, what do you think of me?"
Downton had long noticed these three humans. Because they were brought by Rosicky, he would allow them to attend. But when it came time to actually formulate the plan, he had to ask. After all, this was a key meeting related to the survival of the Western Territory.
.
"No, Duke!"
Upon hearing Downton's inquiry, the three captains quickly stood up and stood at attention in unison to salute.
"Very good. I just say, follow me. You will never regret it!" After seeing Rosicky nodding, Downton decided to trust them.
"It's our honor to fight for you!"
The three captains are capable, but they are not reused and are severely marginalized by their colleagues. Following Rosicky this time can be regarded as a chance.
"What is the current strength of the troops?"
Downton asked.
"There are less than 6,000 human soldiers, 4,000 ogres, and 6,000 indigenous corps mainly composed of bugbears. Barak sent a letter saying that he is recruiting orc mercenaries, but there is no need to count on it now!"
Rosicky snapped his fingers. Immediately, a Death Knight adjutant presented a stack of forms to Downton.
"So many natives? Even if we call them together, it will take a long time, right?"
Jackson was shocked. He was wondering just now. It would be nice if the ogres didn't come to take advantage of the situation. Why would they come to fight on their own initiative?
"Idiot, the master obviously asked them to gather at Xiquan Town!"
Barty rolled his eyes. Jackson was too stupid. He was not qualified to be a captain of ten, let alone a captain of a thousand men.
"Master is wise. It turns out you had a plan, otherwise you would not have let them gather here."
Jackson takes a big shot at the horses.
"Shut up!" Rosicky roared, causing Jackson to immediately tuck his tail. "There are more people than expected. We can start planning. Downton, can you introduce us?"
Rosicky knew that this was Downton's Western Territory, and he had also made the plan. When he needed to establish his prestige, he would naturally not overstep his authority and steal his glory.
"Um!"
Downton did not refuse. When he decided to launch a surprise attack on Busk, he was already considering the overall situation of the war. As Bloodmaul surrendered, he asked the shaman to recruit his subordinates, gather them all in Xiquan Town, and give them to Barak.
Bring the news and ask him to hire mercenaries.
At present, it seems that everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.
"The next battle plan is that I will lead the cavalry to raid the main city of the Southern Territory and try my best to kill Duke Mike. You, led by Rosicky, will delay the return of the Western Territory army for reinforcements."
Listening to Downton's explanation, Rosicky glanced around and took in everyone's expressions.
"If anyone has questions, ask them!"
Downton put down his pointer and glanced at everyone.
"Master, this tactic can only be used once. If you send it to your door now, you will definitely get a head-on attack."
Su Ya advised him.
"What do you think?"
Downton saw a thousand-man leader shaking his head and directly naming him.
"Now the Dukes are struggling to seize land and are reluctant to station troops in the main city. If they march fast enough and keep it secret enough, they can achieve the effect of a surprise attack."
Thousands of people have the courage to speak out.
In order to reassure the following soldiers, Downton's achievements have been publicized. The talented Scepter Order completely wiped out the Dukes of the North and plundered a large amount of wealth. These factors are also the reasons why the soldiers are dedicated to their lives.
"Agree, even if we tell them clearly that we are going to attack your main city, what can they do? With our military strength, it doesn't matter ten times less than theirs!"
Barty is a militant, especially Downton's advantage in soldiers, which makes him extremely confident.
"Why the South?"
Jackson raised his hand to speak. He wanted to show off, otherwise he would lose his status more and more.
"First, because we need to wait for these newly recruited soldiers to block the returning reinforcements from the southern border. Second, if the surprise attack is unfortunately defeated, we can retreat to the western border and even the Dragon Hills without worrying about being surrounded. Third, you don't need to know!
"
Rosicky's neat explanation.
If you raid the eastern border from Busque, you will most likely be cut off by the Northern Army, the King's Army, and the Eastern Army, and fall into a siege. Although the chance is very small, you have to guard against it.
"What do you mean you don't need to know?"
Jackson complained.
Rosicki was too lazy to talk to the ghoul. Prince Xueman did not look down on its identity, but despised its stupidity. He didn't like the flattery. Although Abagong was the same, he had the ability to make the Western Territory's finances prosper.
"If there is no doubt, let's adjourn the meeting and go to assemble the army. We will officially take action at six o'clock tomorrow morning!"
After Downton finished speaking, all the subordinates on both sides of the long table stood up, stood at attention and saluted, then left the room to arrange for their respective subordinates.
In the room, Rosicky drove Celes away and faced Downton alone, "Really don't tell them your true plan? Quasimodo and the others are trustworthy!"
"No need!"
Downton's eyes moved along the border line on the map, his face solemn, "What do you think of the plan?"
"It's perfect. If you succeed, you will get the title of 'Famous General Star'!"
Rosicky suddenly laughed with a straight face. To be honest, it was the first time he saw that bold plan. He jumped up in shock. However, after several deductions, he became more and more convinced that it was feasible.
"Haha, it doesn't matter what a famous general is. I just ask the goddess to bless me and help me turn the tide of the war."
Downton's original intention in formulating that plan was very simple. He had nothing to lose, so he had to play a desperate game.
Because it is close to the lush Dragon Hills, the border is quiet and quiet even in summer, especially in the morning, when the dew stains the grass and makes it completely wet.
Most of the natives were walking barefoot in the grass, lining up under the scolding of the chief, waiting to board the domineering and powerful warship.
Due to training from childhood to adulthood, the soles of these indigenous people's feet are covered with dead skin, and they are completely unaware of the coolness of being wetted by dew. However, even if they are more delicate than a girl's feet, they have no intention of taking care of them, because everyone
All eyes were focused on the compatriots who were carrying large and small bags and were handing over to their families.
"Honorable Prophet, what did I see? That bugbear actually has a pair of deerskin boots?"
"Look, that's an expensive fox fur scarf, right? He actually wrapped it around his feet and wore it as socks. Do you know how to use it?"
"I heard that the coward from the Budu tribe took away the chief's daughter with a diamond ring as big as his fist. Damn it, if I follow him to the north, I will definitely steal more than him."
"Don't worry, you have a chance now!"
The natives were talking a lot. Seeing their compatriots who had made a fortune, they had no fear of rushing to the enemy's territory. Instead, they were full of fighting spirit and wished they could start looting as soon as possible.
Teams of Dark Rangers had already set off on their well-fed Black Panther mounts. Behind them was a regiment of Death Riders wearing black armor and black helmets.
During this time, Rosicki gathered all the death knights in the dungeon and formed a light cavalry of nearly a thousand people. This time, they will also attack the southern border.
"That's the good thing about the natives. They have low IQs and don't know what to calculate. As long as they see the benefits, they won't be afraid of a life-and-death battle!"
Barty complained.
"Afraid of life and death? For indigenous people like us, who may starve to death tomorrow if we are lazy for one day, this is a luxury. Everyone is working hard to live and has no time to think about these things!"
Xue Maul laughed at himself, and the hardship revealed between the lines made everyone feel uncomfortable.
Will humans kill people for a piece of bread? The answer is no, but the hilly natives will, and maybe the entire small tribe will join the war and be destroyed.
"It won't happen anymore. As long as I capture Frankfurt, I will establish a free trade zone, and your life will definitely get better!"
Downton Promise.
"If you break your promise, even if I die, I will curse you and your family for generations to come."
After Bloodmaul stared into Downton's eyes and said this, he led a legion of indigenous shamans onto the battleship. After all, this was Downton's only legal force.
In recent days, Duke Mike has been under a lot of pressure, and he has been drinking to relieve his sorrows, so he has lost weight. As for the servants, more than a dozen of them have been angered and beaten seriously.
It was noon, and Mike was still hungover, but there was a sudden explosion and roar that made him jump up from his seat, followed by a harsh cry.
"What happened? Someone come!"
Mike yelled.
"Master, master, the servant's room suddenly burst into flames for some reason."
A maid stumbled in and reported in a trembling voice.
"What's that roar? A magic attack?"
Mike put on his clothes and took two steps, then staggered a bit because of his headache.
"No...I don't know!"
The maid crawled on the ground and cried with fear.
"Go away, you useless piece of trash."
Mike didn't have time to deal with her. As soon as he walked out of the door, he saw a team of guards running towards her.
"Master, please leave quickly. The explosion just now was probably a goblin bomb dropped by the steam airship of Duke Downton of the West."
The captain of the guard looked very unhappy. (To be continued...)
