Seeing Catherine getting straight to the point, Luke's face became serious. He sighed and said, "Orlando is not here tonight because he is mobilizing the army. There are still more than 200,000 elite troops in the imperial capital, and these are simply not enough.
, we need to bring all the millions of people from the suburbs into the city and recruit more soldiers from among them. But this will put a lot of pressure on logistics, and we don’t have much time."
Catherine nodded. It is an indisputable fact that mankind is now at a strategic disadvantage. Who said that the northern defense line, Thor Fortress, had fallen.
"The fall of Thor Fortress is not the worst thing." Luke sighed: "According to the news brought back by General Jonas and Ryan, although they burned down one of the camps in Thor Fortress during their retreat,
But more than 50% of the supplies still fell into the hands of the orcs. When I think that the already powerful orc warriors are now more fully armed, I..."
Catherine said, "What do you need me to do?"
Luke considered the words and said to Catherine: "In order to fight against the orc warriors with human standard equipment, we must unite tightly. But I am worried about those nobles. You must know that for hundreds of years, these nobles have always relied on oppression.
If civilians make a living, if they still run rampant in the city and cause internal strife, the outcome of this battle will be known without having to fight. Therefore, this hidden danger must be resolved in advance."
"Do you want me to come forward to restrain these nobles?" Catherine followed Luke's words: "No problem, I will try my best."
Luke slowly shook his head and said: "Please forgive my bluntness, Catherine. With your current status, I'm afraid it won't help at all. Moreover, those nobles have a lot of private soldiers in their hands. If you want to control them tightly,
They will inevitably hold back a large number of our troops, and this kind of internal friction is too serious."
"So, I plan to activate the teleportation magic circle." Luke said his plan: "At the expense of these nobles' properties outside the city, activate the teleportation magic circle in Seawind City in the south. As long as these guys leave here, then it will be nothing.
It’s something to worry about. More importantly, the teleportation magician is not permanent. It’s okay to teleport a few people and materials in small quantities, but not too much.”
"In this way, the large amount of resources in the hands of those nobles, as well as their private soldiers, can only stay in the imperial capital. Then Luke and Orlando can easily requisition them all." Catherine said Lu
Gram the following words.
"Your wisdom is as amazing as your beauty." Luke nodded and said, "The ring that activates the teleportation magic circle is only between you and me." Of course Luke couldn't say the name of Fernando XIII, so he dragged him over vaguely.
.
Of course Catherine understood what Luke meant. Catherine had no feelings at all for the dead Fernando XIII. She was just taking advantage of his identity, so there was no need to be sad. "I understand, no problem, I will give the order.
, let the royal magician activate the teleportation array."
"Thank you very much." Luke put a piece of fruit into his mouth and tasted it as he said, "I guess we can start teleporting them early tomorrow morning. The sooner these hidden dangers are gone, the better."
"One more thing." Catherine said: "I just heard you say that a large number of civilians will flow into the city. By then, their accommodation and food will be a big problem. Let me take the lead and do what I can. Lu
Gram, I decided to move out of the palace. The teleportation magic circle should be inside the palace. After all the nobles leave, let the common people live in it."
"Isn't this bad?" Luke was shocked when he heard this and let civilians live in the palace. This was something that had never happened in the 200 years since the Holy Empire was established.
"There is nothing wrong with it." Catherine said firmly: "The people of the empire use their lives to defend the dignity of the empire, and I just moved out of my home. Luke, if everything goes well, there is no need to say more.
If the situation is unfavorable, I will coexist and die with the imperial capital on the royal viewing platform!"
Everyone present was moved by Catherine's belief. As Catherine, she could have left here first, but Catherine did not. Instead, she tried her best to defeat the orcs, even at the cost of her life.
No matter what.
Christina stood up suddenly and said with all her strength: "Catherine, if it really comes to that point, if the orcs want to hurt you, they must first step over my body!" Maiya, Calsite and others also
Immediately after Christina expressed their intention to fight with Catherine until the last moment, the atmosphere of the entire dinner suddenly became solemn.
"Okay, okay." Catherine said gently to the people around her: "Today is Luke's dinner, and we are not facing those ugly orcs. Let's not talk about that for now, let's taste these fresh
Fruit." After listening to Catherine's words, everyone sat back one after another. Catherine picked up a purple grape and put it into her mouth, slowly tasting the sweet and sour taste, and at the same time, she also
My mind was quickly thinking about how to get close to Faras.
It only took ten seconds to eat a grape, but Catherine came up with a complete plan. She put down her knife and fork, smiled and said to Luke: "Luke, now that I have moved out of the palace, it can be regarded as a waste."
We can return home."
Luke smiled slightly after hearing this and said to Catherine: "If you don't mind, you can stay here with me. With a few of their sisters accompanying you, you won't be lonely. And if we all live together, it will be safe.
It is also easy to ensure that if they live separately, the security force alone will involve a lot of manpower."
Faras clapped her hands and said, "That's great. It's time to ask Sister Catherine for some magic advice."
Catherine smiled and said to Faras: "Ha, with Ryan by your side, do you still need me to give instructions?"
"Hahahaha!" Everyone laughed together when they heard this. Faras and Ryan's faces were red, and they wanted to get under the table. Faras glared at Ryan fiercely and whispered: "
It's all your fault." Ryan looked at Farasi's coy look, and a feeling of sweetness filled his heart.
An impulse suddenly surged in Ryan's heart, and he just wanted to hold Farasi tightly in his arms and never separate. Ryan had never felt like this before, and he couldn't say whether this feeling was good or bad, but
But he couldn't suppress this feeling. Under the control of this feeling, Ryan couldn't help but whispered in Farasi's ear: "I don't seem to have done anything. Are you angry about this?"
"
This was the first time for Faras to hear Ryan having sex with her in such a public place. Her head buried lower and her face became more rosy. Seeing Ryan's heart, there was a ball of red, and she wanted to be in front of her.
He took a hard bite on his face. Faras raised his eyelids and took a peek at everyone, and found that no one was paying attention to him, so he stretched out his hand from under the table and touched Ryan's body.
His ribs twisted hard.
As soon as Farasi's hand touched Ryan's body, Ryan immediately guessed Farasi's intention. His face immediately showed an exaggerated expression of pain, and at the same time, he released it under his ribs.
A miniature Stone Skin Technique. Faras did not notice Ryan's small movements. When she saw Ryan's expression, her heart softened, and her hands naturally relaxed, then she lowered her head and said in Ryan's ear: "
Ryan, you’re a bad learner, hee hee.”
Ryan's heart was shaken. He stretched out his hand and held the little hand that Farasi stretched out tightly. At the same time, he said in Farasi's ear: "I will be bad to you for the rest of my life."
The eyes of the two people flowed, intertwined in the air, and could no longer be separated.
Naturally, other people at the banquet did not pay attention to the little moves between Ryan and Faras. Under the guidance of Luke, they started chatting again. When Luke saw that Catherine had no problem with his arrangement, he naturally told Maia and the others.
The person said: "Maia, Karshit, you can stay here too, so that we can take care of each other." There are still many empty rooms in Lane, and even a dozen more people will be enough."
Maia and Calhit naturally knew the current situation. They had just said that they would protect Catherine at the cost of their lives, and naturally they wanted to live near Catherine, so they nodded in agreement.
Luke breathed a sigh of relief, and everything was going in the right direction now. During the day, Luke had already sent out his men, cooperating with Orlando's army to prioritize the evacuation of people from the north of the imperial capital, and moved all the supplies that could be moved away.
, and those that could not be moved were burned on the spot. Before the dinner, Victor also said that he would never stand idly by, as long as he remembered to give the magic scroll to Ryan. Now Catherine also agreed to open the magic circle, and she
Will live in his own mansion.
To be honest, Luke is still very confident in the security of his mansion, especially after the unknown assassin assassinated Fernando XIII. He has never relaxed his pursuit of this matter, although many thefts and secret affairs have been discovered.
Such small things, but until now he still hasn't found any information about the assassin. Only one maid in the entire palace is missing, and no one else has any suspicion, including the tailors who were temporarily recruited from the tailor shop.
How did the assassin get through the tight defense of the palace and the magic detection circles? Luke has always been puzzled. The only possibility at the moment is that there was a flaw in the palace's defense somewhere that was not noticed.
But this loophole that should exist cannot be found, as if it does not exist. This is a deadlock.
