, nbsp; Roy looked at Sophia's leaving back, his face looked as stinky as a donkey that hadn't eaten the carrot.
If Mo Ya hadn't told him just now that he had to stay to attend a military meeting after the dance and couldn't leave now, he would have really wanted to pick up a stone and throw it over and run away.
Of course, the premise is that you can outrun Sophia's unicorn.
Roy looked under the wall inside the castle. Sophia's unicorn [Twilight] was walking leisurely on the garden lawn. It was tall and strong, with elegant steps and a dark blue smooth fur. On the fur
, a series of silver light patterns, exuding a mysterious light.
Compared with the horses in the stable, this guy pacing with his butt raised looks like a king!
"Maybe we should bring Oliver today," Roy held his chin, looking at Dusk's swishing tail, thinking, "That guy doesn't care how high his butt is in front of him."
At this time, the last few guests were boarding the carriage to say goodbye. On the castle lawn, there were some people who were preparing to stay and attend the meeting. Among them, in addition to several important generals under Archduke Adolf, there was also Philip, who represented the Red Leaf Legion.
Qiu Shanhai of the Twelfth Legion, the Prince of York and the Archduke's old friend, the Marquis Ashley.
In addition, Roy discovered that even the deans of the three major training camps were actually retained. Considering what Mo Ya told him about Fei Lie's movement, he vaguely felt that the situation had become very serious.
the point.
"Why are you keeping me here?" Roy was puzzled.
He is just an ordinary student. Even if he has the status of a princess guardian knight and a hero of Meiding City, he has no say in the war. Mo Ya just asked him to stay. In the middle of the dance just now, Archduke Adolf also personally
It's a little strange to find yourself and bring yourself to the meeting.
Just as he was thinking about it, Kalenich's voice came from behind him.
"Master."
Roy turned around and immediately understood the biggest reason why he was left behind.
Kalenich! This gantry iron gate that has been a powerful force in border towns for twenty years is a famous general of the generation. If Archduke Adolf needs someone’s experience and vision to give him the most professional military advice, then, here tonight
Among the people, Kalenich is the best choice!
No one had more dealings with the Feili people than him, and no one knew the enemies of the empire better than him. His appearance in Lulian was definitely an unexpected surprise for Archduke Adolf.
At this moment, Kalenich was walking towards him, and with him was Kameni.
When he saw Kameni, Roy seemed a little uncomfortable.
All along, in Kameni's eyes, he was a guy with a frivolous character, who regarded knights as child's play, cheated on entrance exams, cheated in practice, and now may be charged with "relying on overdose to enhance his strength."
If Kameni came to ask him to leave the academy at this time, at least to leave the E Brigade, Roy would not be surprised at all. Although Kameni had stood up to protect him before, he did not think that this was the instructor.
The result of Mr. eliminating his own prejudices.
At the corner of the city wall, Kalenich retreated far away. Only Kameni walked over alone.
He walked up to Roy, stared at him for a long time, and said in the deep and deep voice of a middle-aged man: "I don't know how to thank you..."
Roy was in a daze.
"It's for Kalenich." Kameni saw Roy's confusion and said solemnly: "You may not know that when I met him, I was much younger than you are now. He is my friend.
, is also my brother. If you save him, it is the same as saving me. I owe you a life."
"Then you want me to beat you up?" Of course, Roy could only enjoy this kind of words in his heart, but he shook his head with some restraint on his face and said: "You're welcome."
I don't know why, but he has always had an inexplicable sense of awe towards Kameni. It's not because of Kameni's strength. It's not because he is his nominal teacher. It's a natural mutual restraint. Just like on the grassland.
A wild little lion saw the male lion looking at him majestically.
Anyway, he felt reserved whenever he stood in front of Kameni. Except for his grandfather William, he had never felt the same way about anyone else.
"This thank you is what I have to say," Kameni looked at Roy seriously: "In addition, I must also apologize to you for my prejudice against you. I'm sorry."
At this time, Roy was really stunned and could hardly believe his ears.
Apologize? A traditional knight like Kameni, who is more stubborn than a donkey, apologizes because of his prejudice? Is this the sun rising from the west or is it a sign of the end of the world?
According to his understanding of Kameni, unless he realizes that he was wrong, he will never apologize for something he believes in, even if it is because of Kalenich.
"This is very unfair to you," Kameni said sincerely, "You were admitted to the first training camp, but I refused to let you go to class because of prejudice. At the same time, as your tutor, I ignored the predicament you were in.
Don't ask..." After saying this, Kameni was silent for a while, stared at Roy guiltily and said: "Did you use the extreme enhancement technique?"
"No." Roy said hesitantly. Although this was true, he was not sure Kameni would believe him.
However, this time, Kameni just looked at him deeply, nodded, patted his shoulder and said: "After the victory celebration, come back to class."

……………
The conference room on the third floor of the castle is brightly lit. A military map made of at least five whole sheets of sheepskin is hung on the front wall. Mountains, rivers and cities are densely painted on it, with a few red arrows bearing the name of the Fei Lie Empire, like
The sword generally penetrates the empire's borders from the northwest, west and south, which looks shocking.
The room was already full of people. Roy chose the least noticeable corner of the conference room and made up his mind not to talk about it. Facing a group of battle-hardened generals, he didn't want to be in this kind of meeting.
What opinions were expressed at the military meeting?
"Everyone," Archduke Adolf stood in front of the map, looking around at everyone with a smile, "Logically speaking, today is not a suitable day to discuss such unpleasant topics as war. We have just defeated the Feili people in Medin City, and we are enjoying our
Victory, I even think that the N Phillies should be troubled by this..."
The crowd burst into laughter.
The Battle of Meiding City taught the arrogant Feili people a harsh lesson♀For some time, the Fei Lie people have been very honest. Whether in Lulian or other war zones, they have stopped their cold and cruel behavior.
With arrogant steps, he faced his opponent again. And all this is the glory of everyone present.
There is nothing more wonderful than enjoying a night of victory.
"However, our dear Miss Mo Ya seems to have a different view on this," Archduke Adolf made an invitation gesture to Mo Ya sideways and smiled: "It is said that according to the intelligence of the Imperial Supervision Department and the judgment of General Safin
, the Feili people are likely to break through the Dragon Gate defense line and move south in a large force to attack Lulian.... Should I express fear?..."
Amid laughter, Mo Ya walked up to Grand Duke Adolf and said calmly, "No, Your Excellency Grand Duke Adolf, it should be said that we need to be cautious."
Mo Ya said and took off the mask on her face. When her face was revealed in front of everyone, even though she knew that the people standing in this room were the most noble people in Lulian. She took off the mask as she should.
Yi. However, everyone still smiled because of her beauty and the psychological comfort this action brought.
Roy hid behind the crowd and sighed secretly.
With a small mask, people can feel the difference of mystery, awe and being valued. Roy feels that his "sister"'s ability to grasp people's hearts is simply superb.
"My lords, I have no intention of discussing an unpleasant topic on such a beautiful day." Under the lights, the bright and beautiful Mo Ya talked eloquently, "However, the fact now is that we will face a great danger.
"
She pointed to the map behind her.
"As we all know, the Feili people have occupied the entire Prussian province and have formed a knife hanging over our heads. At present, we only have the third and sixth frontier troops in the Sulan Highlands on the edge of the Prussian province.
The legion is also the only place where we can stop the Fei Lie army's attack."
"Let's abandon the northwest..." Mo Ya's finger pointed to the west of the map: "Look at Longmen. Here, we are responsible for the defense of the 11th Legion of the Border Army and the troops who were just ordered to rush to Longmen to assist.
The defensive second legion. However, even so, the difference in strength between us and the Feili people here is one to four!"
Mo Ya's data on the strength of both the enemy and ours was confidential information from the Supervision Department. When he said it at this moment, the faces of everyone present suddenly became serious.
A strength of one to four is nothing in war. Historically, battles in which the disparity in strength was as high as one to ten or even one to a hundred were not uncommon.
However, the people present are all generals with rich military experience. Everyone knows that judging from the comparison of the combat effectiveness of Saint Solan's Army and Fei Lie's Army, a one to four troop strength gap is probably a one to ten combat effectiveness gap!
If factors such as experience, command, logistics, and mobility are added to the equation, it would not be surprising even if the combat effectiveness gap reaches one to forty!
Everyone was whispering to each other and talking a lot.
"Miss Moya," Marquis Ashley suddenly said, "We all know that the empire is indeed in a very difficult period now. Before the empire is fully mobilized, it is impossible to be equal to the Feili people in terms of military strength.
However, the problem of disparity in military strength is not new now, but has always existed."
Ashley looked around: "We can't just calculate the gap on the map and then admit defeat. Isn't the victory of Meiding City a good example? Besides, do you think the Feili people will really break through?
After the Longmen Defense Line, walk five hundred kilometers south to attack Lulian?"
This issue is obviously the central issue of this military meeting, and everyone has heard about it before the meeting. At this moment, after hearing Marquis Ashley's question, everyone's eyes were focused on Mo Ya.
Mo Ya nodded firmly and said: "Marquis Ashley, this is not a problem that I don't think about, but it will definitely happen!"
"So what if it happens?" Marquis Ashley raised his chin proudly, "We southwest nobles are no easier to deal with than my old friend Adolf! If they are willing to spend two years and lose 90%
If Jiu's soldiers did this, then let them come. What do we need?"
Marquis Ashley's declaration was greeted with a burst of applause.
Marquis Ashley is sixty-three years old this year, has a thin face and looks very shrewd. He is an old friend of Archduke Adolf for more than twenty years, and he is also the leader of the nobles from northwest Lulian to the Western Theater. During the meeting
Before, he had already scorned the judgment of the Feili people going south.
"First, this will not happen. Traveling five hundred kilometers to flank Lulian. That will only prove that Commander Fei Lie's mind is broken. Second, even if it happens, we will make them understand how bad this idea is.
∝All the lords along the way will unite and turn this long road into a road of death filled with the corpses and blood of Fei Lie soldiers. For the Fei Lie people, that will be a nightmare they will never forget!
"
These were the exact words of Marquis Ashley. No one thought that this gentleman was bragging. Since the war began, although he and the nobles around him have not been attacked by any attack, they have gathered an army of more than 20,000 people.
And this is only a small part of the mobilizable troops in their respective territories.
From this point of view, even if Marquis Ashley's statement of annihilating 99% of the enemy is an exaggeration, his claim that it will take at least two years for the enemy to open the road from Longmen to Lulian is not unfounded. If
In that case, no one can think of any reason.
"Ashley, you competitive old guy!" Adolf laughed and cursed.
"Of course I won't lose to you," Ashley wiped his beard and said proudly: "We have been prepared for a long time, and our hands are itching to wait for Fei Lie to come! Look, my old friend
, as long as the Feili people dare to step into our territory, I will use their heads as wine glasses and hold a victory dance all day long!"
Everyone laughed. Only Mo Ya did not laugh. She said calmly: "Sir Ashley, I am undoubtedly offended. However, what I want to say is right. If the Feili people break through the Dragon Gate defense line, they will be defeated in less than a month.
I can defeat the coalition composed of you and all the southwest nobles, and march to the gates of Munich."
The laughter disappeared and the whole conference room was silent.
Ashley looked at Mo Ya angrily: "Miss Mo Ya, this is not an offense, but an insult!"
"I'm just telling the truth." Mo Ya said calmly: "I admire your confidence and courage." I also believe that in order to defend your homeland, you will do whatever it takes. However, with all due respect, the use of your army
There may be no problem in maintaining law and order and exterminating bandits, but it is still impossible for them to fight against the elite Fei Lie army."
As she said that, Mo Ya raised her index finger: "Once...it only takes one failure, and you will find that you and your friends will not have a second chance."
Ashley's face turned red and veins popped up on his forehead. It seemed that if Mo Ya wasn't a woman, he would immediately propose a duel!
"Miss Moya," Adolf stood up to defend his old friend: "I think your words are a bit sensational. If Fei Lie's army could defeat Lord Ashley's army so easily, wouldn't I, Lulian, have long ago
Is it time to fall?"
"The purpose of my proposing to convene this military meeting is not to make things difficult for anyone," Mo Ya shook her head, "I just want to remind everyone of the dangers we face..."
She looked around, "Everyone knows the actual situation of the empire now. Whether it is the number of troops or combat effectiveness, we are far inferior to the Fei Lie Empire. To win the war, we must recruit and train more troops and prepare more sufficient supplies.
, and all of this takes time!”
"Does it take time to prepare for war, or does His Majesty Edward need time?" Ashley sneered.
The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.
In fact, everyone understands that time is important for the empire to prepare for this war, and it is even more important for the current royal family. But in this room, everyone’s political stance is not consistent. Every family has differences due to blood, territorial position and interests.
Their respective tendencies. And Marquis Ashley’s words broke the tacit understanding that everyone had maintained before.
"The great victory in Meiding City has bought us a rare period of time, but the next battle will be even more difficult," Mo Ya ignored Marquis Ashley and continued, "According to the intelligence we have received, the Fei Lie Empire has always been
They are constantly increasing their troops. But this time, they will invest at least one heavy knight brigade."
Everyone was shocked when they heard about the heavily armored knight.
The Philippe Empire was known as the country of cavalry and was famous for the number and combat effectiveness of its cavalry. Among all their cavalry units, the most famous and feared was the ace unit of the heavy knight.
Each heavily armored knight is an elite selected from the army. They wear heavy armor weighing hundreds of kilograms, hold spears more than four meters long, and ride not ordinary war horses, but only the extremely cold northwest of Fei Lie.
The six-legged stallion produced locally is two meters tall and weighs two to four tons. It has extremely strong load-bearing and running abilities. It can wear a vest made of fine steel. Once it launches a charge, its impact will be overwhelming
It's a nightmare for any opponent.
If six-legged horses were not extremely rare, and it was too expensive to build a set of knight heavy armor and a set of vests, I am afraid that Fei Lie's cavalry would have swept across Saint-Soulan!
There were only three knight brigades in the Philip Empire, and there were no more than 400 heavily armored knights. The investment of a knight corps this time showed the determination of Peter I.
"Not only the heavily armored knights, but also the Phantom Magic Group, the Devil Knights..." Every time a name came out of Mo Ya's mouth, everyone took a breath. These names are names that everyone has heard before. They are all Fei.
The famous elite of the Fierce Army, none of them are easy to deal with.
"Peter I has never been a person willing to accept defeat. He was the most powerful emperor in the Philip Empire for a hundred years, and a war madman..." Mo Ya looked directly into the eyes of Archduke Adolf, "He will
To avenge the humiliation suffered in Medin City at all costs, let the entire south of Saint-Soulan become a river of blood."
"Then he must have this ability!" This was still the voice coming from Marquis Ashley, but this time it was not the old Marquis Ashley who spoke, but his son Ashley Jr.
Little Ashley is thirty years old this year. He has a slightly thin face and short brown hair. Under his thick eyebrows are a pair of deep and sharp eyes. He has the strength of a Knight of Glory and has excellent results.
He graduated from the Royal Military Academy and was considered a quite outstanding figure among the younger generation of the empire.
He and Sophia grew up together. When he was twelve years old, he declared that he would never marry anyone other than Sophia in his life. He was known as Sophia's chief suitor. Since the beginning of the dance, he has been by Sophia's side. Except for some polite social interactions.
Other than that, he barely said a word.
But at this time, he spoke with a calm and conceited tone, looking at Mo Ya without any evasion.
"Lord Mo Ya, I admit that the names you just mentioned are scary. However, if these are yours, then I don't think it is necessary," said little Ashley, "I don't want to brag about how powerful we are.
.But I can assure you that no matter how angry Peter I is, if he wants to attack Lulian, he must get through us first...and as long as there is still one member of the Ashley family alive, he will never be allowed to succeed!
"
"However, this is not a verbal guarantee that can reassure people." Mo Ya shook his head and said: "The matter is too important. Once the battle is lost and Fei Lie's army seizes the southern part of the empire, it will trigger a series of unbearable consequences.
chain reaction……"
"So what do you think we should do?" Ashley Sr. asked.
"My suggestion is to set up the Southwest Coalition Army," Mo Ya said with a smile and every word. "Archduke Adolf will serve as the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces to unify the command and connect the entire southwest together."
Upon hearing this, Roy's heart skipped a beat. Ashley and others' eyes narrowed sharply.
