Chapter 278 Battle Plan

The conflict was quickly over.

Seeing the menacing knight, no one dared to say a word, or most of the actors themselves were fools, otherwise there would be no initial dispute. Facing the famous May, not everyone has the courage to stand up against her, and now the situation has become even more one-sided. Bella was directly led out of the waiting room by two men.

After a while, only Carter and the small town crew were left in the huge room.

"Thank you very much for your help," Gaite and others bowed.

"You are really... amazing! You made her speechless after two or three slaps," Irene exclaimed as she held May's hand, "and that slap completely blinded her!"

Then she turned around and saluted the chief knight, "Master Carter, why did you appear in Longsong Stronghold?"

"I'm also curious about this question." Mei shrugged, but he was relieved.

"Because of His Highness's order," Carter spread his hands, "Can I buy you a drink?"

...

"This is... where you live?" The chief knight looked around cautiously.

"Well, it's very common, right?" May took out a bottle of white wine from the cupboard, and poured him a shallow glass. "The tavern is only open at night, so I'll treat you to this drink." Irene's group slipped away quite quickly, and they all said on the road that they suddenly remembered something. Finally, when they returned to the residence, only she and Carter were left.

"Well, it's true... quite ordinary," Carter coughed twice, "I don't know your family..."

"Mother died early, and I got my father a job in the theater, light chores," May said calmly, "but I don't think he'll be back until night."

This small one-story house located in a deep alley in the inner city was purchased by her with all her savings after she became a star in the West Territory. Although the house is small and old, moving away from the outer city can at least save her from harassment and uneasiness. peep.

"Uh...sorry."

"It's nothing." May also poured herself a small glass, "Did His Highness ask you to come to rectify order in the theater and resolve disputes among actors?"

"No, of course not," Carter waved his hands again and again, "Tifeco sent someone to find trouble in the Western Territory. His Royal Highness Roland is on his way along with the large army. I just arrived first on the Small Town and arranged for the second army. Strengthen the night watch, and by the way, let the honeysuckle family be more vigilant to prevent people from sneaking into the city gate."

"You shouldn't have told me these things," Mei was startled, then shook her head and said.

"Did you ask, and it's not a covert operation," Carter drank the wine in one gulp, "Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion."

"Okay," she pouted, "so how did you end up in the theater?"

"After I explained the matter, I suddenly saw the promotion of the play you starred in. I wanted to see what you would look like on the stage of the real theater. The result was just as I imagined. Although I only saw the end part, But your performance is really wonderful." The knight praised, "So I went backstage and wanted to buy you a drink, but I didn't know whether I should go in, so I lingered at the door for a while, until I heard the dispute inside... ..."

"You were already outside?" May frowned.

"I didn't mean to eavesdrop," Carter held up his hands. "It was just an accident, I promise."

"Pfft," she couldn't help chuckling, "I don't blame you, you don't need to show such an expression."

"Really?" The knight breathed a sigh of relief, and reached out to get the wine, but she knocked him down.

"You still have a mission tonight, right?" Mei shook her finger and said, "So you can only drink a small cup, and you can't add more. But..." She smiled slightly, "After this mission is over, you can Treat me well once."

After Carter left, May filled herself another glass of wine, leaned back on the chair, and sipped it in small sips.

Since she tasted baijiu last time, she found that she gradually fell in love with this hot and mellow feeling.

For Carter's previous invitation, she already had an answer in her heart. Some things really only know the result after trying it, just like the white wine in her hand. No pale ale can match.

Why don't you bring your father back to the small town to settle down after this drama is over?

...

Roland arrived at Longsong Stronghold two days later.

Pei Luo Hermon and the five major family members went out of the city to welcome the team of His Highness the Prince.

After the first army was stationed in the fortress, Roland went straight to the castle and held a brief meeting.

"I have received reliable news that Timothy has sent a troop towards the fortress." He sat on the main seat in the stepped hall, looking down at the nobles below, "Their numbers and routes are unknown, but there is no doubt It’s coming for me. According to Timothy’s usual style, they will inevitably expand their troops by looting civilians, and then use drugs to force these people to attack.”

"Excuse me, Your Highness," said Viscount Ellie of the Ben Lang Family, puzzled, "the medicine you mentioned refers to...?"

"An evil red pill that can give civilians more power than knights, but after the effect ends, the person who takes the pill can only die in a helpless struggle." Except for Pei Luo, the other four masters did not agree with the secret medicine of the church. I don't know, Roland simply explained its characteristics and origin, "Tifeco intends to use this method to continuously weaken the resistance of the Western Territory. Any population that he can't use is the target of robbery, and yours The territory is also included here. As the guardian of the western border, I ask you to transfer all family members and civilians in the territory into the city, so as not to expand Timothy's team."

"However, the grain and stored goods in our warehouse..."

"As much as you can transport," Roland interrupted resolutely, "I only give you three days, and the surrounding civilians must gather in the fortress. After I repel Timothy's troops, I will naturally let you go .”

After the meeting, the prince recruited Iron Ax into the castle.

In fact, he did not disclose the real situation he had to the nobles. Under the carpet-like investigation of Lightning and Maggie, the team from the royal capital had already revealed their whereabouts. Different from the previous group of invaders, they were heading west along the main channel of the Chishui River on a sloop, and would pass through Liuye Town to enter the hinterland of the Western Territory.

This is a very tricky route. When the enemy crosses the bifurcation point, they can turn back along the tributaries and attack the south gate and east gate of Longsong Fortress, or they can continue westward until they reach Border Town.

In order to avoid focusing on one thing and losing another in the defense of the division of troops, he must take the initiative to concentrate superior forces to defeat the enemy at one point.

Obviously, the fork of the Chishui River is the most suitable place for sniping. (To be continued.,, your support is my biggest motivation.)
