Vol 3 Chapter 39: Resolution of the Dragon Driver (Part 1)

"Well, I didn't have breakfast in the morning ... Can I start if there is no problem?"
In the center of the spacious and bright house is a huge long table with a map of the northern part of the Fortress of the Boundary Mountain; the long table is seated one by one at the end of the two existing "De Salion" "On both sides stood the commander of the legion in the fortress and the two's servants and captains.
Just like Connor, the deputy commander of the fortress Ernst Dresis was like an adjutant, still motionless behind Prince Sackland's chair from beginning to end.
And a wizard consultant who was still yawning to the prince, Loren Turin, who was "just out of prison," stood on the left side of Brandon. The dark-haired wizard with slightly twitched corners of his mouth couldn't help but glance to the side. It should have belonged to the position of the captain of the dead guard, but was occupied by a familiar guy.
Edward ...
After the captain of the guard tragically died in the raid on the camp, he didn't know what method he had to become the commander of the flag regiment, so he took the post of captain of the guard.
Indifferent Edward carried his hands on his back, as if he didn't notice the sight passing by him; while Brandon sitting in a chair yawning still had an impatient expression, his right hand kept tapping the table.
This was the third day that a group of people arrived at the Fortress of the Boundary Mountain. A meeting convened urgently by Connord—except for Brandon, almost all the people present were the top commanders in the Fortress of the Boundary Mountain. .
The news that the Northbound search team was completely destroyed is no longer a secret at the Boundary Mountain; but what most soldiers do not know is that they were destroyed together and the sentinel of the Blood Skull Valley-if this is really a monster invasion The signs may well prove their warriors and even the Valley of Blood Skeletons.
From the Blood Skull Valley to the Fortress of the Boundary Mountain, a small amount of elite takes only ten days, and a large army only takes half a month. Except for the outpost along the way, it is almost undefended; if the monster army is really about to invade, the empire must immediately Prepare for the game.
But everyone present knew that the answer was no.
For some inexplicable reasons, Connor did not report the invasion to the rear. The news of the entire empire was still just like the winter in previous years, and the monsters that were cruising in the wilderness went to the south to invade in groups, and It is not an army that is likely to capture the fortress.
At the same time, due to the fall of the outpost and the complete annihilation of the search team, the fortress' cavalry squadted around the north of Sacran and harassed the icefield werewolves in the fortress supply line.
In other words, they knew nothing about the situation north of Blood Skull Valley!
This is why Connor had to convene an emergency meeting-even if Brandon could arrive at the fortress half a month early, or even ten days, he could handle the situation more easily.
At least ... not because of the panic in the fortress and the "truth" that can't be concealed, he has to ask his own brother for help, pushing him to the point of no choice.
Connold crossed his arms with his fingers on the table, his expression still serious and firm, completely ignoring Brandon's complaint: "How is the news behind?"
"After eliminating the wandering icefield werewolves, our logistics supply line has been reopened, and the twelve fortresses in northern Sacran can provide sufficient troops and supplies to the Fortress of the Boundary Mountain at any time."
Slightly bowed, Ernst, who was standing behind, stepped forward and pointed his right hand at the territory between Prince Sackland and the Fortress of the Boundary Mountain: "Of course, it can not be ruled out that a small number of monsters are still flowing, half of the fortress 'S cavalry is patrolling the south and reminds the towns and fortresses to take precautions. "
"If the siege is encountered, how long can the fortress persist?"
"Once under siege, we can persist for three months with our reserve materials-but it also means to abandon the remaining fortresses and forts, and in the case of fighting each other, they can not insist on more than a month; of course, these It ’s the worst case and should actually last longer. "
"Let the forts and fortresses stay in touch at any time, regularly send out information about the rangers, and once they encounter the enemy, they will immediately ignite the wolf smoke and send messengers; the cavalry who stay in the fortress must be on standby at any time."
"Yes." Ernst nodded slightly, his eyes swept around the faces of everyone around the long table, and almost everyone was restraining his anxious and urgent mood.
"How is the news from the North?" Connold asked coldly.
"After the blood tower's outpost was destroyed, there was no new information-the soldiers in the nearby outpost only found a small amount of icefield werewolf running, but did not launch an attack." Ernst immediately said: "According to the past Experience is very likely to be the vanguard of the monster army, investigating our defense situation. "
"Through the general rule, from today onwards, all the fortresses of the fortress will be doubled, and the rotation will be doubled at night. Once there are icefield werewolves close to the fortress and the outpost, the number can be directly hunted without reporting."
"Observe! Then, next is today's issue ..."
"His Royal Highness Connaught--!"
An almost thunderous roar interrupted Ernst, and the entire map room instantly fell into a short silence. A faintly curious dark-haired wizard narrowed his eyes and looked at the source of the sound.
This is a knight in heavy armor. The burly figure even Ernst is thin in front of him. The holy cross pendant hanging on his chest is enough to prove his identity.
"Cross Boundary Hill Church, Lord Knight of the Church Knight Chief Knight," slowly raised his cold eyes, Ernst read out the identity of the other party without emotion:
"This is a Legion meeting, and you should make a request before giving notice to His Royal Highness. Are the church knights as rude as you ?!"
Almost at the moment when his words fell, several knights wearing the same white robe and holy cross pendant stood up behind the church knight Naze; several officers on the other side of the long table who were also in full service also held down The sword hilt in the waist.
It seems that the Jiejie Mountain Fortress is also not a piece of iron ... The dark-haired wizard who looked at this scene silently murmured in his heart.
"It is because of the respect for His Royal Highness, the empire and the glory of the Holy Cross that we will stand here and return His Highness with blood." The church knight Naze waved his hand and stopped the knight behind him:
"Because we firmly believe that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince always takes the Empire and the Holy Cross in his heart!"
"So, you rudely interrupted the meeting because the church thought I was not religious enough?"
The crimson pupil looked cold, and Connor, who was staring at the other, slowly said:
"Or ... do you think I am unfaithful to the empire?"
A corner of Loren's mouth slipped across an imperceptible smile.
This scene is really interesting.
"In the name of the Holy Cross, I assure you, the Holy Cross Church has no intention-"
Every word of the church knight is powerful, and his generous appearance does not need to be known to know that he is a Sacrament, and his bell-like eyes are rounded: "But the current Fortress of the Boundary Mountain is not only for the preparation of the army, but is it not Is there something more important ?! "
Speaking of bringing here, Church Knight Naze suddenly stretched out his right hand until Brandon, who was still yawning, said: "I think everyone here should be very clear, what is His Royal Highness Brandon De Salion. What will come to the Fortress of the Boundary Mountain! "
"Ugh ... why did you suddenly pull on me?"
Brandon was stunned, and a sly smile rolled across his mouth: "Don't you just pretend to be like each other? I almost thought you couldn't even see me!"
"No one ignores you ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Brandon." Sighing low, Connold stared at him seriously: "The reason why I didn't mention you is because there are more important things that need to be done. Handle, so ... "
"Sorry, please allow me to interrupt you again!"
Church Knight Naze stood up again, and Connor's words were interrupted by a frantic and pious expression: "But for the Boundary Mountain Fortress, there is nothing more important than the intelligence of the Blood Skeleton Valley!"
"Now that His Highness Brandon is here, let us start discussing as soon as possible when we will dispatch a new patrol north to investigate intelligence and avoid ..."
"Wait!" Brandon suddenly raised his right hand.
"Wait, wait, wait ..." Brandon stood up softly from the chair, looked at the church knight, and then looked at his brother Connold, and the group of officers, lazy Said:
"When did I promise you that I was willing to patrol the North?"
