Chapter 280: Military conference

High-level military meeting in a charcoal-burning room.
The furnishings in the room are simple, with a round table in the middle and chairs around it. On the wall behind the main seat, there is a military map of northern Xinjiang. If there is anything special, there is a portrait of His Majesty the Gorse Emperor hanging on the wall.
There are five people in the conference room. There was an unpleasant First Array leader, Count Denton, with Bai Xiaowen.
Sitting on the main seat was Prince Nicholas, and Earl Denton sat on his right hand, showing a special status.
The waiter led Bai Xiaowen and sat down in a position facing Nicholas.
"Welcome, Ms. Cecilia, Baron Dior," Prince Nicholas nodded, "permit me to introduce ..."
Bai Xiaowen stood up and stood up. Every time Prince Nicholas introduced a person's name, he looked at it and nodded his head slightly.
Of the four people sitting next to Prince Nicholas, three were introduced. In addition to Lord Danton's first infantry commander, there was also a chief of staff and a magic adviser, all of which were Nicholas' henchmen.
The remaining person who was not qualified to be introduced by the prince was a clerk of an ordinary template. Although he was also the prince's confidant, he had a low status.
When introduced to Count Denton, the tall and strong Count changed his indifferent attitude at the ball, walked over with a smile, and patted Bai Xiaowen's shoulder.
"Baron Dior, I want to apologize for what I said at the ball. You must admit, you are right."
Bai Xiaowen blinked, revealing a daze.
"Ha ha ha ha ..." Count Denton laughed. "Dior, do you think that Prince Nicholas and I are a fool who can't see the reality?"
Bai Xiaowen quickly shook his head: "Dare."
"The situation is indeed serious," said Earl Denton, smiling, solemnly. "However, those of us in the decision-making level understand it well. If we know it all, it will shake the army and morale. The nobles of northern Xinjiang may have to run out in advance, and even the residents in Heiyan City will flee. "
After a pause, Count Denton continued: "Most of the nobles who participated in the ball did not know the strength of the enemy, but there were also a small number of people who knew it, but only for the morale of the army, and they did not come out and reveal it. It shows optimism with the flow. "
The meaning of Count Denton was that only gimmicks like Bai Xiaowen stood up and took the risk of offending people to reveal the facts.
"I was reckless. Your Royal Highness, His Excellency the Earl, please forgive me for my mistake." Bai Xiaowen said.
Nicholas waved a smile and said, "Anyway, when you are your age, I say what I think of, and I don't think about it that much."
In fact, Bai Xiaowen guessed that Nicholas had the idea of ​​stabilizing the military, otherwise, he would not hold a ball in such a tense period. However, he still chose to express his dissent, and to put it plainly for two words: brushing his face.
Today, most aristocrats are disdainful of Bai Xiaowen's minority remarks. When the real power is ushered in and the Black Rock Fortress feels pressure, they will think of Bai Xiaowen's wisdom.
As far as Prince Nicholas is concerned, this minority speech by Bai Xiaowen will not detract from his points. On the contrary, it will create an impression of high IQ and low EQ. While demonstrating his military talents and foresight, he also showed certain communicative flaws-such talents have always been the favorite of those monarchs and heroes, and the benefits are beyond words.
The lintel opened, and the waiter led an old man in a thin, red priestly robe in. Everyone stood up and greeted, even Prince Nicholas was no exception.
"Let us welcome Archbishop Arlo with the most sincere applause. Without his large injunction, the outcome of our battle is difficult to say." Prince Nicholas took the lead in applause, and a sparse sound was heard in the small conference room. applause.
Archbishop Arlo's face was a little pale. He nodded slightly and greeted the people present: "This is the glory of God. I am just a humble supplicant. And it is inseparable from the hard work of the colleagues of the Holy Light Priesthood."
Bai Xiaowen has heard from Cecilia's mouth that the war in the frontal battlefield has passed. Archbishop Arlo's forbidden spell
Light of Creation
has become the winner of the war. However, judging from his weakness after performing the divine spell, Archbishop Arlo may not have the energy to perform it a second time.
"Well, now that everyone at the military conference is here, let's talk freely. According to the report of the scout cavalry, the Legion of Survivors of the Crime Realm will be dispatched this time. There are no children with high wheels, but they have joined the ranks of the logistics army ... "
Prince Nicholas said, "In terms of numbers, the Legion Alliance is no less than our Human Alliance. As for combat effectiveness ... I believe everyone here has a certain understanding."
A breath of cold air sounded.
Count Denton cursed, "These barbarians, without the slightest morality and character, force their children to join the army."
Bai Xiaowen shook his head secretly, which is related to life and death, fighting for survival space for the race, the sin domain coalition must be the power of the whole family. If you win, you can drive south and occupy a large area of ​​fertile land on Kane mainland. And if you lose, the best result is to be driven back to the desert of sin.
Bai Xiaowen has learned that the desert in the sin domain is even more desolate and cold than the most barren territory in northern Xinjiang, and it is not suitable for human survival. Even the surviving subspecies with strong vitality, it is estimated that the survival rate is not high.
Therefore, the Adherent Army ’s attitude towards this war is desperate, unlike the Gorse Empire, which has not yet attracted enough attention. There is only one army in the northern Xinjiang, with a scale of several thousand people.
As for the arrival of Prince Nicholas and Archbishop Arlo, it was only a coincidence. While investigating the deadly plague in the northern Xinjiang, he found the precursor of the attack of the survivors. Despite the dissuasion of His Majesty Count Denton and others, he stayed at the Black Rock Fortress and Send someone back to the emperor for help.
Bai Xiaowen's second main line mission required to stand for ten days. According to Bai Xiaowen's estimation, it should be the time when the reinforcements sent by the empire reached the Black Rock Fortress.
After denouncing the unethical behavior of the sin domain coalition, the topic still returned to how to fight it.
"Dior, your speech at the ball represents you soberly aware of the power of the Adherent Alliance. I wonder if you have formulated some resistance strategies?" Prince Nicholas asked.
