Chapter 518, Lively Winter Veil Festival (Part 2)
Ryan's original plan was to attack the Spire Palace after the end of the spring plowing next year, and then at least reach the city of Mousilon before the autumn harvest, and then surround the city to prepare for a fortified battle.
But now Aurora said that she would not stay that long, which caused Ryan's plan to change.
Either he will give up his plan to attack the Spire Palace in advance, or he will give up Aurora's magic support and change his attack strategy.
This put Ryan in a dilemma. He himself always likes to be fully prepared before acting: "Honey, do you know why Aurora is in a hurry to leave?"
"She's sitting there with Trovik, you come to ask me?" Veronica said impatiently, "Are you afraid of her?"
After finishing speaking, Veronica smiled strangely again: "Or, facing this mother and daughter, are you being directed by the little head? It's like you are peeping under the table?"
Ryan's eyes suddenly became dangerous, and his big hand stretched out towards a certain part of Veronica, and squeezed it lightly.
"Ah!" Veronica immediately covered her chest with tears in her eyes: "Why are you pinching me!"
"It's you talking nonsense." Ryan squinted at Veronica: "It was a misunderstanding."
"Hmph~ Obviously you like it..." Veronica fell silent, and Witch Jialan yawned. It's the middle of winter, and there's ice and snow everywhere, and Veronica's magic power is at its lowest point in a year. When she was eating, she was very depressed because of this, and after she was full, she sat beside Ryan and stopped talking.
Ryan got up, came to the other side of the banquet, and found Theresa: "Dear Theresa, about Ms. Aurora..."
"Lian, mother can't stay here for too long, there are a lot of things for her to deal with in the council." Teresa was holding a glass of red wine. During this time, because of Aurora's arrival, the sorceress was in high spirits: "She It will help me finish the finishing work of the wizard tower for a while, and she will have to leave in early March."
"I understand." Ryan also expressed his understanding of Aurora's itinerary. It is indeed inconvenient for Aurora to stay here for a long time. There are too many things in the council for her to preside over.
When Teresa saw her silent, she thought Ryan was a little displeased, so the sorceress immediately said, "Ryan, don't blame your mother, a strong man in the sanctuary is extremely important to the Garland Council. Litania, there are no less than ten holy grail knights and lake god prophets with the strength of the sanctuary, and there are even demigods here, but the Garland Council only has three sanctuary witches, Margot Speaker Rita, Mother, and Elder Carolina, long absent from her mother,
Many things in the parliament are not working. "
Before the words were finished, the sound of high heels approached from a distance. Aurora was wearing a snow-white fox fur trench coat, and her long black shiny hair was draped over her shoulders like flowing water, revealing her snow-white neck. The sanctuary witch was holding a glass of red wine. Seeing his daughter talking to Ryan, he immediately approached, with a slight sense of majesty on his face, but also a hint of kindness: "Lian, Teresa, what are you talking about?"
There was a faint lavender scent on Aurora's body, and Ryan felt a little strange after smelling it, because he often smelled this kind of body fragrance on the female sorceress when she was staying overnight with Teresa, and the count immediately subconsciously smelled it. He took a step back, out of the way.
"Mother, Ryan wants you to stay here longer." Teresa said to Aurora.
"I can't stay here for too long, until March is the limit." Aurora looked at Ryan with a threatening look: "After March is the Grass Festival, when the council will absorb a large number of new witches Apprentice, I have to personally check, not to let those girls with excellent magical talents be picked away by Margarita and Carolina."
"I heard that Queen Katarin is also a member of the Garland Council?" Ryan could only try to soften the topic.
"Katalin only joined the council in name, and she rarely left the Tsar's palace in Kislev." Teresa explained: "Katalin is a sorceress of the ice sanctuary in the full sense. All the magic she uses is ice magic, so she rarely leaves Kislev Kingdom, because only there is frozen all year round, which makes her very powerful."
"Well, I hope that, Ms. Aurora, you can stay longer and provide me with some help when the spring plowing on my side is over and the army is summoned to attack the Spire Palace." Ryan had to tell the truth: "But If you, Ms. Aurora, can only stay until March at most, my plan to raid the Spire Palace this time will have to be revised."
"You tricked Teresa away from me and only gave her the status of a female courtier, and now you want to extend your hand to me?" Aurora didn't buy Ryan's attitude very much , the tone of the sanctuary witch was very strong and sarcastic: "I can only help you within the scope of my ability, and I will not change my itinerary just because of your plan."
"Hehe~ Ms. Aurora, you still haven't changed." Ryan nodded with a wry smile, and he raised his glass: "Okay, I see, please drink up this glass, I wish you and Teresa good health! go further down the road.”
"Congratulations!" Aurora also took a full glass of wine, and she continued: "Lian, I only have one child, Teresa, and she is now your female courtier. I don't agree."
Ryan frowned now, is Aurora trying to make a fuss about this relationship?
"Mother!" Teresa hurriedly spoke out to ease the relationship between her man and her mother: "I did it voluntarily, Ryan didn't force me."
Aurora held her tone, she deliberately paused for a moment, and then said: "But since Teresa voluntarily, I will not say anything, but you have to remember, if one day my daughter is wronged Go back to Parliament and complain to me and you'll never see Teresa again, never."
"Please don't worry about this, I will treat Teresa well." Ryan's face softened a little, and he took Teresa's little hand: "I will not tell false lies, I will prove my sincerity with actions. "
"Well, very good." Aurora let Ryan go, and she said to Ryan: "I will leave before the Grass Festival, you go and discuss with your allies what to do."
"Okay!" Ryan walked away with the wine glass. He came to the corner of the banquet hall and found Olika, the dark elf who was observing secretly. She was wearing a black and white lace maid dress, and the dark elf wearing a headscarf was hiding in the corner to observe. Watching every move of the guests: "Master?"
"Open that room, please join Her Highness Morgiana, François, Boderick, and Bellega in the small room." Ryan instructed the Dark Elf.
"Yes!" Olika nodded in understanding.
Twenty minutes later, the winery, the small room.
This room is located behind the study room, with no windows, facing the water on both sides. The table is filled with various melon and fruit snacks and exquisite red wine. Five people, including King Belega of the Angland Clan, and Ryan, gathered to discuss the attack on Mousilon. In addition to these five people, the dark elf Olika also stood aside to serve.
Ryan told everyone that Aurora would not stay for too long, he frowned and said: "Now we are facing a problem, that is, if we attack the Spire Palace according to the original plan, we will not get Ms. Aurora If we want the help of Ms. Aurora, then we must launch an attack in advance."
"Hey~ attack early, attack early, the soldiers in Angrund are already impatient! As long as Brother Ryan says, I will lead the army of our clan to join you!" Bellegar said from the table Half of his head protruded from the bottom, and he jumped around to let everyone notice him. The king of Bafeng Mountain drank a lot today, and he seemed very excited: "Why are you thinking so much! Without long-range weapons, our cannon battalion and organ gun battalion can blast the Spire Palace to the ground in two days!"
Ryan nodded, expressing his understanding of what Belegar meant, but Ryan knew that Belegar only considered the issue of siege, because for the dwarves, they only needed to complete the combat mission, but Ryan had to consider countless things when fighting Musilon. Factors include the politics of the kingdom, the strength of the people in the territory, the morale of the army, and the changes in form after the capture of the Spire Palace.
"My son Federon will lead the main force of Bordeaux to join you." Duke Boderick didn't care too much: "It's up to you to decide when to fight."
"Me too." Morgiana also expressed her opinion.
Ryan couldn't help hesitating, because no matter what choice he made, he had his own pros and cons, and it was difficult for Ryan to make a decision when the incident happened suddenly. From the heart, Ryan was still more willing to act according to the original plan.
He finally set his sights on his father-in-law, the elegant and wise Francois.
Francois was in a very good mood recently. He reached out and stroked his long goatee. After thinking carefully for a while, the father-in-law said: "Lian, I just need to confirm one thing with you, that is, what to do in your territory. Are you ready for war?"
"It's done, the material deployment has been prepared, and the army has been reorganized." Ryan nodded.
"Since we are ready, why not do it in advance?" Francois said slowly: "As long as the conditions are ripe, we can attack Musillon. The winter weather is a test for the physical strength and energy of the soldiers, but what about the undead?" Wouldn't it be slow to move in a cold climate? Since you can use the power of that sanctuary witch Aurora, you must seize the opportunity."
"Well... But once we start early, even if we capture the Spire Palace, our army will soon face spring plowing. At that time, we have to disband part of the army and let them go back to farming." Ryan then raised his worries: "This is very difficult. It is easy to make the Spire Palace fall into the siege of the undead army..."
"Ryan, you pay too much attention to the plan in advance." Francois shook his head, and he said seriously: "In war, the opportunity is fleeting. Since you have such a good opportunity, you should attack in advance." Going down to the Spire Palace and building fortifications there, since it is an excellent opportunity to complete our first stage goal, then we should seize it immediately. You pay too much attention to preparation, even according to your plan in advance, we cannot expect it The movement of the undead, it is better to attack by surprise, as for the spring plowing period, we only need to send enough troops to guard the Spire Palace."
"Is it right to attack first and then defend?" Ryan squeezed his chin, thinking about the pros and cons: "There are many semi-professional soldiers in my army, and they can stay and garrison at that time, but the time is relatively long and it is easy to fight with them." The undead form a tug of war."
"No." Francois shook his head suddenly: "Don't forget, there is another army that is also looking for an opportunity to attack the Spire Palace."
"Lauen and his Northern Cavalry Alliance!" Ryan's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood what Francois meant: "You mean, once I start attacking Mousillon, Lawn may also launch an attack, and at the same time from the Attacking Mousillon from the north via Lyonnaise?"
"It's not possible, it's certain." Francois said with great certainty, "Because even if Lawn didn't have this plan, Richard would definitely let him do it. Richard and I have known each other for decades, so Acting is Richard's style, so you don't need to hesitate. Immediately after the end of Winter Veil, we will prepare our army for war. In February, our coalition forces will set off to camp in the northern part of the Sharon Forest, and prepare to attack the Spire Palace. Spring plowing must be done in March. Attack the Spire Palace before!"
"This war is the key to determining whether you can solve Musilon's malignant tumor that has plagued the kingdom for nearly three hundred years. It is the key to determining whether you can obtain the duke title, and it is also the key to whether you can become king!" Rancois said seriously: "I will send Jerrod to lead the main force of the Duchy of Wenford to meet you. Even if it is for Suria and the child in her belly, you must come back with victory! In this case, in advance It's not a bad thing to do it!"
