Chapter 411: We underestimated the enemy!

General Yinglip looked at Kai Jiao Lin’s solemn expression and cried out in his heart, "Knife Chew Six
Now during the fierce war, Lorraine brought the vast majority of Nian's army to fight against the orcs in the south.
Catherine and Adele actually controlled the province during this period.
Looking at the appearance of Catherine and Adele undoubtedly showed that there were very troublesome and difficult things. Nian is not in peace now, and this place cannot withstand the toss.
General Philip calmly saluted Catherine and said, "Your Highness, you are looking for me."
After staying up all night and going through several big ups and downs in a row, it was because Catherine and Adele were in very good physique and they couldn't help but feel a little tired.
Catherine rubbed her temples vigorously, waved her hand to General Philip, and then told General Philip in detail the news that the Orcs were about to attack Nedel City.
General Philip was also taken aback when he heard that, after thinking about the current situation. General Philip said helplessly: "Your Highness. We still underestimate the enemy."
Hearing what General Philip said, a girl was taken aback, but after thinking about it, she nodded helplessly in agreement with General Philip's statement.
In fact, the Naian people really underestimated the enemy.
Especially the two consecutive victories in Lorraine. After annihilating nearly 20,000 orcs, the Naian people generally believed that two more battles like this would be fought. Half-orcs are not enough.
Just find the enemy's main force and fight them decisively. It may not take a month before the orcs will have to retreat across the board and roll back to the grassland.
Those who hold this view are mostly those behind the front, especially those in the government, who have been fighting with high intensity. The pressure on the rear is also great, especially the consumption of various materials. Seeing that Nian's family is getting thinner and thinner, the people in the government system are also getting colder.
However, this kind of argument caused great dissatisfaction among the frontline officers. General Larry complained and said that it would be given to those sitting in the office. Everyone has a knife, let them go find a half-orc for a decisive battle.
His own man was fighting at the front, and Catherine was worried all day, but Lorraine sent a letter back. No matter how late, Catherine and Adele would get up from the bed and read them carefully several times. This argument of letting Lorraine take risks naturally aroused great disgust from Catherine and Adele. Soon no one would say such things to destroy Nian's unity and fight against the enemy.
After no one dared to say about the victory, the Naian people began to think that they just need to stick to the city. After another month or two, those half-orcs will retreat because of lack of food.
Now this view has been unanimously agreed by Nian, even the front-line soldiers, many people agree with this view, persuading Lorraine to adopt a conservative approach and not to chase down every infiltration of the orcs.
Both of these views believe that the current situation in Nai An Province is very good, not good, it is very good, and half-orcs are not enough. There is no need to maintain such a large militia in the rear city. Let them go home early, so they can save money and prepare for the expansion of the land in spring next year.
Even the port of Nydal City, except after a period of depression during the net war. Soon the bustling of ships and boats was restored. Even the number of merchants who wanted war money increased. The port is more lively, and the cargo throughput has increased a lot.
The northern part of Nian'an has been singing and dancing again.
But now, the half-orcs' sneak attack is like a blow to the head. The savages tell the Nian people with actual actions that they are not a group of fools who can only cut skin around their waists, but are carnivores that can kill people.
General Philip could think about the shock in the entire north of Nian'an after the news was made public. Panic is inevitable.
After thinking for a while, General Philip raised his head and said: "His Royal Highness, there will definitely be a lot of people's hearts in the next period of time. Your Highness, you may be under tremendous pressure from the locals. Your humble position, please must withstand the pressure, not let Lord Lorraine Aid back.
Otherwise, not only would Nydal City be dangerous, but the entire Nian would be in chaos.
Lord Lorraine will also be under internal pressure to ask for help back, but Lord Lorraine has military support. I believe Lord Lorraine can handle it. What I worry about is that our city, especially the civil servants, may cause chaos. "
The four of Catherine and Adele glanced at each other, and they all saw the worry in each other's eyes.
Philip is indeed the commander-in-chief of the Janissaries. People who have been in Ruman City for many years saw not only the external dangers, but also the crises that would come from within the city of Neidel.
Once the city of Nydal is besieged, the high-level Nian and wealthy businessmen in the city will unanimously demand Lorraine to come back for rescue, and the city will not be lost. If these local dignitaries unite, it is Catherine, the princess, to suppress them will be very difficult.
Most of the families of senior military officers on the southern front line are in Nian'an, and it is inevitable that the frontline people will be faltering and ask Lorraine to return to rescue.
However, Rumandi's law is severe. As Nian's supreme military commander, Lorraine, as long as they are strictly ordered to abide by the military orders, the officers dare not listen.
Catherine gave General Philip a grateful look, and said, "I know, thank you for the general reminder. We really overlooked this. In short, we have decided to stick to the city with all our strength, as for those ugly people who only care about their own comfort.
Catherine thought for a while, there was really no way to deal with those people, only a helpless sigh. Said: "The power of the military is in our hands, just ignore them."
General Philip bent down and said grimly: "In extraordinary times like the siege, the danger from within is often the greatest threat. If someone wants to disrupt our deployment, your Highness will be hindered. For the safety of Your Highness and Your Highness Leo, I hope that your Highness Yin Gang can make an early decision, and our Imperial Guard can clean up the pattern for your Highness.※
Catherine froze for a moment, General Philip meant that someone really made trouble. That's going to be a killer. After all, Catherine was raised by a royal education. Moreover, Leo, as the future heir of the empire, is not allowed to make mistakes at all. For Leo’s safety, let alone a few of Nian, the nobles, the family of Ruman City, the Grand Duke Julius and Catherine also got the money. Go hand in hand.
Catherine nodded solemnly, and said in a cold voice: "If someone really doesn't know how to advance or retreat by then. General, I will hand them over to you."
General Philip saluted and said loudly: "Yes, I will let it go! Please be at ease, your Highness, the Guards never make mistakes. But
General Philip changed the conversation, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Your Highness, it's best" Is it better to let His Highness Leo go first? "
Catherine shook her head categorically and said: "As an imperial royal family, you will never escape in the face of danger. This is Leo's responsibility."
General Philip sighed and said in his heart: I knew it was like this, but that's fine. At least I followed the right person.
Philip shouted louder, "Yes! So, where are the insiders lurking in the city?.
Catherine said: "I have handed this over to a competent person. If they can't do it well, then no one can help."
"His Royal Highness". General Philip said: "With all due respect, this kind of strategy in war is nothing more than digging tunnels and opening the city gates. As long as you prevent it early, the enemy can't make a big wave. This kind of strategy can win a battle. Victory, but it didn’t have much effect on the whole war."
Catherine looked at General Philip and said with a smile: "I am not worried about these problems, because we have a task here to be handed over to the Janissaries. As long as it is carried out well, not only will the city be protected, but the half-orcs, one, don’t I want to go back alive."
General Philip was stunned for a moment, and said to his heart: Is there such a thing?
Then he said in a deep voice: "Follow your Highness's instructions
Soon afterwards, a hundred guards quietly left the city.
Before the officials in Nydal City had time to eat breakfast, Catherine was urgently recruited into the Governor's Mansion for a meeting.
Angus was ordered by Catherine to strengthen the city defense last night. Although he still doesn't know what happened, he has a bad feeling in his heart.
The officials who came to the meeting looked at the meeting that was suddenly tightly guarded by the imperial guards, and they all felt a little stunned. They knew that something major had happened. They also knew the news that all the troops in Nydal City were dispatched overnight. Now, everyone is anxious
Angus shrugged helplessly when facing the inquiry of his colleagues, saying that he knew nothing.
Soon, Catherine and Adele walked into the conference room.
The sharp-eyed people found that the clothes worn by the two bosses were the same as yesterday. For women like Catherine and Adele with a delicate life, wearing one dress for two days would be almost the end of the world.
This means that the two bosses did not rest overnight, and even had no time to change clothes.
"Is there something wrong with the southern line?" This is the consensus of everyone in the conference room.
After Catherine threw out the Orcs who were going to attack Nidel City a few days later, there was a silence in the meeting room, and then there was a loud noise.
"How can this be.
"Oh my God, we have no soldiers now."
"Reinforcement, we must call for reinforcement as soon as possible."
"Have you notified Lord Lorraine? Please bring someone back as soon as possible."
Catherine and Adele looked at the front call for officials with unhappy expressions.
Seeing the expressions of the two boss ladies, Angus turned dark, and said loudly, "Quiet, quiet, so decent."
The following people calmed down and looked straight at Catherine and Adele.
Angus turned his head and asked Catherine, and said, "His Royal Highness, is the news confirmed? When will the enemy arrive?" Catherine said: "The orcs will appear under the city of Nedel in the fastest six days. "
The officials in the conference room made a "his" sound, and took a breath.
Angus said: "If you count it this way, even if Lord Lorraine received the news and returned to the division for rescue, he would not be able to catch up. Do we have other reinforcements? Your Highness."
Catherine shook her head and said, "No, I just sent Constantine and Ruman City a messenger for help, but it will take at least 20 days for the legions of the eastern provinces to arrive.
Angus heard the words and said firmly: "We must defend the city!"
Catherine was satisfied with Angus' attitude. With a slight jaw, Lorraine said, "Lorraine is the governor of Nian's. When to come back. It is up to him to decide. Our task is to guard the city of Nydal firmly before Lorraine returns."
The officials in the conference room knew it was this moment. Only resisting the enemy and waiting for reinforcements, he immediately became serious and waited for Catherine's order.
Catherine and Adele methodically followed the drafted order, and the work of transferring logistics materials to the south was distributed to several cities in the west.
Before the Orcs arrived, they tried their best to store food and weapons in the city of Nedel.
Martial law was ordered in the city and all gates were strictly investigated. Except for soldiers and officials with missions, no one else is allowed to enter.
The militiamen also guarded the walls in a formal formation.
Nobles and wealthy merchants, such as the bodyguards in the homes of large families, will also be called up.
Knowing that this kind of large-scale preparations cannot be kept secret, instead of letting the people guess, all kinds of news are flying all over the sky, people are frightened, and they scare themselves, it is better to let the official give a statement directly. Calm down.
Therefore, Catherine instructed Angusbu not to say how the half-orcs got it, but only prayed for a number of half-beast forests. Infiltrated the central and northern parts of Naian and attacked major cities and towns. In order to protect everyone's life and property, all cities in Quan Naian are now under martial law.
In an instant, the atmosphere of Nydal City changed, the air became dignified, the soldiers of the brigade began patrolling the streets, and the convoys transporting supplies blocked all the city gates.
The number of guards at the gate of the city has increased several times, carefully checking everyone who enters the city.
Catherine strictly forbids officials to spread the news, so the people in the city were very dissatisfied with this strict city defense policy, saying that Catherine was making a big deal.
Vera slept until the sky dimmed. He stretched his waist contentedly and got up from the bed. She was exhausted last night.
But think about it last night, when we broke so many boats with half-orcs, Vera only felt more comfortable in her heart, and said to her heart: This is the decompression exercise the young master said?
When coming down from the upper floor, Vera found that the entire governor’s mansion was quiet. After a round, Catherine and Adele were curled asleep on the Changsha in the lounge.
And Melina took Leo to set up dinner, and Leo didn't have that kind of faint look. On the contrary, it was like something fun happened, full of energy.
When it was time for dinner, Melina went to wake Catherine and Adele. The two girls saw each other in embarrassment, and at the same time screamed at a high decibel, rushed into the bedroom to clean up.
Soon, the two of them looked tired. Sitting next to the dining table in plain clothes, Luo Linna quickly and hurriedly walked in, pulled out the chair and sat down to eat.
Followed by Silmelia, dressed in a pure white bishop's robe, rushed into the dining room.
After sitting down, Silmelia didn't even breathe, and said: "I have given my order. All the priests will stay in the temple headquarters and wait to participate in the battle."
Luo Linna followed: "The wizards who came with me have also been organized, led by a few high-level wizards. They eat Lorraine and wear Lorraine. They also get such a high salary and have rested for so long. , I’ve long been overwhelmed in my heart. After hearing about this, I suffocated my energy and prepared to give the orcs a ruthless one to let them know the mages of Fengye Danlin.
"It's a famous mind." Leo continued casually.
"Huh?" There are five big girls at the table, all from Maple Leaf Danlin, but Catherine has nothing to do with the mage. Naturally they stared at Leo.
Leo raised his head and glanced at them blankly. Said: "Why do you see me? This is not what I said."
Lorraine squeezed her finger and said bitterly, "Lorraine."
It was Silmelia who laughed out loud.
After dinner, Vera looked at the sky, then pushed the plate, and said, "It's already dark, I should go back to Master."
Katherine and the others knew about Vera Lu's idiot, and said worriedly: "Vera. Will you get lost when you go back at night? For hundreds of miles, I'm afraid you can't find the right place.
Vera waved her hand and said confidently: "Don't worry, if the young master gives me a signal, I can find it."
"That's good." Catherine nodded, then took a letter from her pocket and handed it to Vera. Said: "Bring this letter to the one who has no conscience, so that he doesn't have to worry about us, just say that we can handle it here."
"And my Adele pulled out a letter from her chest, handed it to Vera with a smile, and specifically explained Vera: "You must be strict, or the fragrance of the letter will disappear as soon as the wind blows.
Vera let out an "Oh" without knowing it. Honestly put it into the pocket inside the clothes.
Silmelia also put an envelope in front of Vera with a reddened face, and said softly: "Give Lorrain mine too and tell him everything is fine."
Luo Linna generously slid a letter into Vera's hand, and said: "Go to that guy and tell him that I will wait for him to come back and find him to settle the account. Dare to see if I will show him my heart."
Leo rolled his eyes, then threw the knife and fork in his hand, and yelled, "Sister Vera. Wait for me."
Then he jumped off the chair and ran upstairs. At this time, Melina put the tableware, wiped her mouth gracefully, and nodded to the five girls. Said: "I'm done
Then he jumped out of his chair~EbookFREE.me~ and ran upstairs, and shouted: "Leo, stop for me."
After waiting for a while, Leo and Melina each came downstairs holding a large package. The two threw the package onto the table. Leo wiped the sweat from his forehead and put an extra-large The envelope was stuffed into Vera's hand and yelled: "This is for the boss. Although he is not loyal enough, my lord has a lot and I don't have common knowledge with him."
Melina gave Lorraine the letter in her hand. He whispered, "Sister Vera, give it to Brother Lorraine for me."
"And then." Leo picked up the two packages on the table one after the other, stuffed them into Vera's arms, and said: "This is for sister Vera."
Vera sniffed the sweet smell coming out of the package and took a deep breath. His eyes narrowed with a smile.
By the time Vera landed on the roof of Lorraine’s residence in Colony, it was already late in the night. Lorraine wrapped a blanket on the roof and waited anxiously. Seeing Vera finally came down, he went up first. She gave Vera a violent shudder, and shouted into Vera's ear: "Why are you back now? You stupid girl is so anxious to me."
Vera rubbed her head aggrievedly. Weeping and said: "Master, I have flew by again."
