The nobles who can enter the castle conference hall are basically supporters of the three major families in Glow City. Many of them also participated in the construction of the north-south artery and made a fortune by introducing steam engines and producing calcined cement; they have been to Thorn Town. , most of them have witnessed the training of air knights at close range. Hearing that the King of Graycastle was so confident, the anxiety on everyone's faces finally disappeared a bit.

In any case, this kind of open and honest meeting that only discusses data and details is definitely a rare experience for the Dawn nobles. Compared with making pie-in-the-sky claims or making false promises of comfort, precise explanations are inherently more convincing.

"Then...what do we need to do?" someone asked.

"Just maintain the status quo," Roland said bluntly, "A stable morning light is the greatest help to the war."

"But now panic has begun to spread. If coercive measures are taken, I am afraid it will only have the opposite effect on the fleeing refugees..."

"That's because the devil used the red mist to invade the border territory, and this situation will not continue to worsen." Roland said with relief, "Greycastle will also do its best to assist you to stabilize the situation."

"For territories threatened by devils, the royal capital will also waive tributes and provide subsidies as appropriate." Horford added in time, "Everyone, this is a war that concerns the fate of everyone, and no one can stay out of it. I, Huofard, Fred Quinn hereby swears in the name of my ancestors that no matter what the outcome, I will never leave Glow City! If Dawn is destroyed by the devil, then this castle will be my tomb!"

…

After the nobles who had received assurances and felt somewhat relieved left the hall, the meeting quickly entered the second part.

Except for the Lord of Dawn, those who were still in the room were all Graycastle senior officials.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to take full responsibility for the previous blocking battle-" Iron Ax and Edith stood up at the same time and looked at each other in surprise.

"No one can predict what kind of offensive methods the God of Divine Construct has," Roland shook his head. "Don't tell me that when you first made the plan, you never considered the possibility of the reserve team being attacked or even destroyed."

"..." The two of them could only choose to remain silent.

One team conducts testing, and multiple teams act according to the situation. This is a routine step when formulating tactics, but it is a foolish idea to think that losses will only occur to the testing team. He believed that the General Staff would not make such a lowly mistake.

"In other words, the moment you decide to put the plan into action, you have acquiesced that the significance of the plan is greater than the risks that these two forces need to take. Otherwise, this plan should not have been adopted from the beginning. Don't worry. , I will not use the number of casualties to measure your merits and faults, even if it is indeed the battle with the greatest losses for the First Army."

"His Majesty……"

"But don't forget." At this point, Roland regained his relaxed expression and his tone became serious. "These soldiers also have their own families. Don't regard their sacrifices as numbers on paper. . I hope you will keep this in mind every time you take action."

"As you command, Your Majesty." Iron Ax and Edith said in unison.

"Then let's talk about your views on the subsequent war."

"Yes." Northland Pearl replaced it with a new map. "After analysis, the staff believes that there are two places where the floating fortress is most likely to go after turning around. One is the Cage Mountain border, and the other is Herme. Si Plateau. The former can ensure the capture of the Wolf Heart and threaten the Kingdom of Dawn at the same time; the latter can make the red mist invade the four countries at the same time, making the Impasse Mountain Range a channel connected to the spine of the continent. But now it has crossed the border of Dawn, Judging from the trajectory, it is most likely going towards Hermes."

Roland nodded, "How is the evacuation situation over there?"

"It went very well," Agatha replied. "Isabella is now the true leader of the church. Their actions are far more efficient than ordinary people. It is expected that the evacuation of the old and new cities will be completed within two to three days."

"That's good."

"Before your 'Glory of the Sun' is completed, we are unable to stop the advancement of the Floating Fortress," Edith continued. "Once it occupies the Hermes Plateau, the red mist is likely to spread across the Silver Light City. The morning light will be swallowed up entirely. If we lose the support of the witches, we will definitely fall into an extremely passive situation."

Still got to this point.

Roland sighed secretly. After all, erecting an obelisk in the Holy City of Taquila would pose a great threat to the human kingdom, let alone sticking it directly in the face.

Of course, Taquila's obelisk can directly damage Neverwinter City, while the obelisk on the Hermes Plateau can only cover Silver Light City. This is the biggest difference. Once the only industrial area is invaded by red fog, the consequences will be disastrous. Nowadays, the rapid improvement of Graycastle's strength is inseparable from the witches - in Neverwinter City, Maleficent has been involved in all aspects of urban development, such as clearing parasites on ship hulls, relieving worker fatigue, assisting in precise processing, and planting coral reefs to expand Shoal area, etc... Although core industries such as steelmaking can be maintained without witches, a significant reduction in overall efficiency is inevitable.

Fortunately, whether it is a steam engine, an internal combustion engine, or a Rubik's Cube power source, they can all operate normally in the red mist, which also gives mankind the biggest trump card against it.

"It seems that before the God of Divine Creation is destroyed, we will have to fight the enemy in the red mist for a while." His eyes scanned everyone in turn, "In addition, I came here this time with good news. The final design of 'Glory of the Sun' has been completed, and a new round of principle tests will be launched soon. If successful, this sky fortress will not survive the day when the red mist swallows up the morning light!"

Everyone suddenly showed joy.

"Really?"

"This is so great!"

Roland also showed a smile, "So, how to complete this decisive blow can now be put on the agenda."

…

After an afternoon of discussion, the general plan was basically finalized.

Due to the special nature of the God of Divine Construct, the First Army actually did not have many choices. It could either bury a detonation device in advance and go upstream from the red mist exit under the continent to destroy the core, or drop it from a high altitude and destroy it in one go. Obelisk. Apart from this, other methods can cause extremely limited damage to the God of Divine Creation.

The advantage of the former is that it is easy to implement and does not require the prerequisite of bombers, but the effect is difficult to guarantee - the Hermes Plateau is quite wide, and no one knows where the God of Divine Construct will eventually stop. Once it deviates from the red mist pouring mouth, the explosion effect will be greatly reduced.

What's more, it is still doubtful whether the brilliance of the sun can turn the red mist waterfall into a high-temperature jet of fire. The farther the floating land is from the surface, the higher the uncertainty. Since Lucia could only extract so much pure uranium, the plan was ultimately rejected.

Airdrops currently face both technical and implementation difficulties, but as long as they succeed, the bomb will detonate very close to the Red Mist Lake, which can ensure its power to the greatest extent.

"In that case, let's make a plan based on this conclusion." Roland slapped his hand on the table. "In addition, the air strike rehearsal and the prototype bomb test are carried out at the same time - the debt that was thrown away from the devil should be found again from the devil. return!"

"As you wish, Your Majesty!" Everyone saluted in unison.
