She came in gorgeous costume, and her lotus steps were lightly moved. Her exquisite hollow crown shone under the sun shadow, and her long loose brown-red hair was also shining with a golden luster.
The breeze blew past, blew the broken hair under her crown, and the silver-gray starry eyes flashed.
When she saw him, a faint smile gradually appeared on her fair cheeks. Her every move seemed to be elegant and noble, which made Brian secretly admire her.
"Bryan." The Iron Regent said enthusiastically, stretching out his arms toward him as a welcome.
"Ms. Regent." Brian responded politely and politely, "It seems that I have arrived in time, and I will do everything I can to serve you."
The current situation in Cormier is unstable. Among the noble forces, there are not only the rear party represented by Prime Minister Ferfarier, but also the forces that doubt Cialisa's true identity and try to bring Prince Selante to the throne.
In this case, he could only deliberately keep a distance from him in public to prevent the two major forces from uniting.
Although he gave the prime minister a warning as soon as he returned to Susal and snatched the custody of the little king cleanly, this was also his way of slapping it with a sweet date.
Afterwards, he visited him in person and promised him some corresponding benefits.
In the game world, without his participation and the appearance of Hiseya, Susal City was controlled by the rear party forces and eventually lost in the rebel confrontation with Prince Selante.
"Your efforts will make it hard for most people to see you again. I am so happy to see you again, and Cormier is also very happy to have your wisdom to help you. Your first-hand information on orc tactics will also benefit us a lot."
She held his hand and asked, "Are there anyone else with you? Or..."
As if he felt Brian's gradually serious expression, a faint blush appeared across Xisaiya's pretty face, and she quickly let go of her hand without a trace.
"I brought the most elite army in the north to fight in the south and help you defend Susal." Brian naturally noticed Xisia's interesting expression and said without changing his face.
With the support of the female lord Myrcella, in addition to half of the combatants in Mokou Town, Tivanton and Arabe's army also followed him here. Outside Susar City, the orcs were on standby without notice.
In order to prevent the ghost man from counterattacking, he asked Myrcella to help him take charge of Mokou Town.
After all, in this disaster, Cormier's north was the target of being taken care of by the enemy. However, with his efforts, many powerful legendary pros such as Hajjhona, the leader of the Dragon Cult, and even the ancient Red Dragon, were either killed or seriously injured and fled, which allowed the north to preserve most of the armed forces.
Even so, the Dangerous Rock Fort in the Storm Horn Mountains and the Morning Star Town of the Forest of Kings were still destroyed in the war. Although the orcs' troops had been expelled, the reconstruction work was still not put on the agenda.
"I have some new news about orcs, and I must share it with you as soon as possible." Brian looked at Shisiaya and then added.
"Agree, His Excellency Brian is right." said Dwarf Commander Dagna Zhanquan, "It's time to have a good talk."
"Agree." Xisaiya glared at Brian without a trace, regained the regent's demeanor, and immediately said:
"It would be even better if there was time for a regular ceremony. This would help your team and the warriors get familiar with the entire city and defense. Lords and generals, please come with me. We have a lot to discuss."
Not long after, under the leadership of Hiseya, Brian and others, as well as the war lord Auglas, Prime Minister Fefarier, Royal Mage Sandrakot, etc., all sat down around a large table.
Ink, quill and paper are all placed in front of you, and there are cups filled with clear water.
Even the dwarves who were addicted to alcohol did not want to drink, and they all knew that in this case, their minds must be kept clear and wise.
"I welcome everyone again." Xisiaya said before the others spoke:
"Everyone, Mr. Brian, who sat before you, was the wizard lord who had defeated the army of orcs and the city of ghosts. He came on behalf of the Duke of Raul to defend us against Susal, and provided insights and talents."
"Defense..." Kingdom Prime Minister Fefarier looked at Brian and frowned, "Why didn't Arabe's female lord come in person? I guess she must have not chosen her position in the next battle, right?"
As soon as these words came out, the people at the meeting began to discuss and complain in a low voice.
Most of the complaints are mainly about ‘Why didn’t the female lord come in person’.
As the second legendary wizard in the Kingdom of Cormier, her arrival can still provide a very powerful deterrent.
Brian knew very well that although the Prime Minister's post-party forces temporarily reached a reconciliation with him, this did not mean that he would obey his command honestly.
After all, his son is not only the war lord of the god of war Tampas, but also the supreme commander of the Purple Dragon Knights in the entire Kingdom of Cormier.
"Although it is not realistic to let the female lord of Arabe come in person, I still hope that no one will discuss this boring topic next." He raised his hand and signaled everyone to be quiet, with a rare calmness, and said:
"We are here to defend the city. We naturally need to do our best to reduce the losses of the city. Many of you are very professional about killing, and we will also reflect value in the next plan."
He could see that the old prime minister wanted to compete with him for the supreme command of the army.
He had already made detailed arrangements in his heart about how to expel the orcs, so naturally he would not let the insiders destroy them at this time.
"The assistance of the good camp comes from all directions, different camps, and different ethnic groups." Moglan, the leader of the Paladin of the Arm Armor Cult, spoke out for Brian.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! "No matter what you think, for me personally, whether it is my personal position or my true thoughts, I welcome the arrival of His Excellency Brian, and his wisdom and unique talents."
Everyone nodded, but a few seemed a little reluctant.
"In this magic dragon chaos, I witnessed His Excellency Brian's mage tower killing the ancient red dragon that ravaged Mokou Town." The paladin said righteously:
"He also used the same method to defeat Hajjhona, the Supreme King of the Ghost City in Arabia, Sevillin, the leader of the Bailong Cult and the Red Robe Abandoned Ones from Sel. No matter what you think, in the name of the gods, nearly a hundred priests of my arm armor corps will stand firmly on the side of His Excellency Brian, obey his command, and expel the orc invaders who ravaged Cormier."
As soon as this was said, everyone changed their views on Brian, and even the war lord Oglas of the kingdom's prime minister, Ferfarier and his son Tampas, showed a look of surprise.
In fact, Brian, who was the focus of his eyes, did not expect that he had a group of paladin fans from the Arm Armor Cult.
Nearly a hundred priests, mainly Losandar, the Lord of the Morning, Irmat, the God of the Passion, and Thum, the God of the Real, are probably all the families of the entire Kingdom of Cormier.
Although his position is different, Brian still respects all priests in the kind camp, especially the orderly and kind camp.
Because their purpose of becoming priests is to pursue goodness, protect justice and eliminate evil.
This honest paladin unexpected appearance was a great help to him. He didn't have to waste any more slap on him and let others convince him.
"As the Regent Princess of Cormier, I am really pleased that everyone can realize that we have a common enemy." In the surprised eyes of everyone, Xisiah smoothed out with her kind smile, "So many faces that have reached the path of war are gathered here. I am deeply grateful for the arrival of each of you."
Brian secretly handed Xisaiya an admiring look, but he had grown to the point where he had only been away for a few days.
Obviously, at this point, the royal wizard Sandrakot, who stood behind Ciseya, was a legendary wizard loyal to the king.
He leaned forward and said to everyone, "Before we start discussing strategies and plans, Ms. Regent, I need to tell you everything I saw on my way back to town."
"Is it related to the orc army?" Xisaiya asked with a worried look.
"They were launching a small-scale attack on Susal a few days ago." War Lord Oglas frowned slightly, "Now he is hiding in the Forest of Kings, it seems that they have no intention of a full attack. Unfortunately, our scouts cannot detect any information at all."
"However, we are all ready. As long as they have a little intention to attack the city, they will fight back with the most fierce attack." He added: "But these orcs seem very calm, hiding on the edge of the King's Forest, as if they are enjoying the scenery, motionless."
The commander of the Dwarf Legion Barond Rishi roared in a low voice: "I can't kill orcs happily until now, and I personally feel very sorry for this."
"Our purpose is to end the war." The war lord Auglas said, "but strangely, they surrounded Susar City, and were fully armed, just waiting."
Farrell, the supreme commander from the eastern border of the Kingdom, cleared his throat, "Can I say something, Regent, have you ever thought that this might be a trick? Perhaps the orc's 'Great Sage' wants you to believe that his target is Susal, but it is actually something else?"
"But in my opinion, there is no other suitable target for attack." Dwarf Commander Dagna Zhanquan laughed:
"Wars cost money, and it seems a bit stupid to gather all the people of the tribe together. It's really hard to stay there. It has to be admitted that under the leadership of the Great Sage, the Orc tribes of the Storm Horn Mountains are the most powerful in nearly two hundred years, but they are not strong enough to swallow the entire Kingdom of Cormier."
The mountain dwarfs, the Shield clan, was once the indigenous people of the Storm Horn Mountains and was also the first line of defense for the Kingdom of Cormier to resist the Orc tribes.
However, two hundred years ago, because they could not resist the invasion of orcs, all their territory was occupied. Finally, with the help of human army, they migrated to Leiming Peak east of the kingdom.
It has now grown to a scale of tens of thousands of people and is one of the main sources of weapons production in the Kingdom.
As one of the parties involved two hundred years ago, it can be seen that he can be called the most powerful.
"We thought so before," said Bethrina, the Moon Elf Ranger, "but there was no trace of evidence that the Orc tribes were planning to attack the world."
"I'm pretty sure their target is Susal City." Brian thought carefully and said to everyone, "This is the information my scout took a lot of risks to obtain from the King's Forest."
"So that's the case." Paladin Molanger nodded, "We should trust this brave scout and be prepared to fully prevent the orc army from siegeing the city."
"His Excellency Brian." Moon Elf Ranger Bethrina leaned forward and said:
"We have talked a lot about the orcs on our way here, but neither the Regent nor you have yet. You can explain all the information to you now, and then we can start to develop a strategy."
The Ranger Commander showed a gentle smile at Brian, but Brian, who knew the other party's background, knew very well that this was not a kind smile.
Bethrina Yongar is a real hunter, and her ranger enemy is an orc.
In Brian's impression, after Cormier died in name only, the other party not only represents the moon elves of Hurek Forest, but also became the most staunch supporter of the female lord, but also a ranger with potential in the legendary realm.
It was obvious that she was ready to hunt orcs.
"The orcs were led by their spiritual leader, the Great Sage." Brian returned to the original topic and told everyone about the detailed information he had.
"They were at least 20,000 orc army united by the eight major clans, which did not include many large tribes such as ogres, hill giants and trolls who chose to surrender to orcs after being expelled by the Dragon Sect in the Sunset Mountains."
In fact, when Brian got the news, he was really shocked to be unable to sit still.
Obviously, this has completely shifted the timeline in the game world.
Even the orc sage who hid deep in the mountains to regain their energy and did not appear until five years later could not stand the loneliness at this time and chose to launch a full-scale invasion of the Kingdom of Cormier.
When most people heard about Brian, they were incredible.
This is understandable. After all, when the purple dragons raged to Cormier, the towns around Susal were almost destroyed, and the Purple Dragon Knights and the Battle Mage Legion also suffered heavy casualties.
With the defensive power of Susar City today, at most, they can only gather 6,000 regular soldiers and Purple Dragon Knights. Among the reinforcements brought by the warships, there are about 1,500 dwarf soldiers and about 700 elf rangers. In addition to defending the defenders of Sambiya, the Eastern Army also came to support 1,000 Purple Dragon Knights and 3,000 regular soldiers.
All of them are only about 12,000 people.
Because Brian also had to guard against the Yinhun City, and after another war, the number of troops he brought was actually not much different from the Eastern Army.
Even so, the army did not exceed the original number of orcs, which did not include other large humanoid tribes that defected to them.
Just from simple data comparison, we can see that the pressure the orcs bring to everyone.
"Prince Selante's army did not come." Royal mage Sandracott caught the point of the problem. "If I expected it, the army, the Second Fleet, the Fourth Fleet, and the Fifth Fleet, can at least tens of thousands of people be gathered in Mashanbo and Twilight."
After the royal wizard finished speaking, he looked at Prime Minister Ferfarier with a slightly cloudy gaze.
"I send him at least 10 support messages." Fefarier frowned slightly, "but Prince Selante claimed that the pirates from the Weihong Sea and the revenge fleet of Simon had gathered at the port of the Dragon Coast, and he dared not act rashly."
"What's scary? Without his army, we can kill orcs." said the dwarf legion leader indifferently. "In my opinion, with the thickness of Susal's wall, twenty thousand orcs are not enough to see."
"This is too passive," said the war lord Oglas. "If we receive assistance from Prince Selante, we have at least the capital to fight back and drive the orcs back to the Storm Horn Mountains."
"It's obvious." Farrell, the supreme commander of the Eastern Army, said:
"The threat from the Dragon Coast cannot be underestimated. If these pirates land on Cormier's territory, the disaster will not be much less than that of orcs."
Brian knew that Prince Selante had already risen to rebellion for their discussion.
There are indeed many pirates from the Weihong Sea and are indeed threatening Cormier territory, but these pirates are actually Prince Selante's mercenaries.
In order not to support Susar City, he deliberately made it for the people here to see.
Once the situation reaches a deadlock, he will lead the pirate army to take down Mashanbo and attack Susal.
Therefore, in this case, he not only cannot disclose the news of Prince Selante's rebellion, so as not to arouse the other party's vigilance, but also end the battle with the orcs as soon as possible and take precautions in advance.
"Lord Farrell is right." Brian said to everyone, "Prince Selante does this naturally have his own reason. We cannot consider it because of this. For us, the most important thing is how to expel orcs."
"I guess His Excellency Brian has already thought of a countermeasure against the orcs." Commander Ranger said, "Then don't waste time, tell it as soon as possible."
"Yes, what strategy is there? We listen to you." said the dwarf commander, "As the elves said, any orc who dares to attack the city wall will be burping."
"The elves won't use such vulgar words, Lord Zhan Fist." The moon elf ranger gently corrected the dwarf.
"Anyway, it's all the same thing." The dwarf replied.
"My countermeasure is very simple." Brian said bluntly: "That is to give up defense and launch a full-scale attack on the orcs."
Before everyone could refute, he continued, "Based on the reliable information I received, the orc army has been ready for a protracted war and has even begun to build military fortresses in the Forest of Kings. If this continues to be delayed, the consequences will be unimaginable."
Brian's words silenced most people.
Because of this news, they completely lost the idea of ​​fighting a protracted war.
If the orcs really built the military fortress, it would mean that they had a firm foothold in the territory of the Kingdom of Cormier.
Moreover, they are backed by the Forest of Kings, and the area of ​​this primeval forest is second only to the Hurek Forest. Even if the war is not good, they can hide in the dense forest to take refuge.
Seeing everyone silent, Brian and Xisia looked at each other, nodded secretly, and then said:
"Since the Third Fleet has returned, before the war begins, I hope to transfer all the children and accompanying families, as well as the civilians who cannot participate in the war, to Mashanbo."
"War is cruel, I cannot guarantee that it is a victory battle for justice to overcome evil. We must be prepared for failure and the terrible consequences."
He was saying the truth, and the purpose of his doing so was indeed that he could defeat the orc invaders outside the city without even being sure.
The Orc Sage is a war shaman with a medium-sized strength. He also has an ancient green dragon as an ally.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! The most important thing is that the price he paid for is too expensive to fight for a long time when his wizard tower wants to reach such a long distance.
In order to prevent the ghost city, Myrcella must sit in his wizard tower.
Although the royal wizard Sandrakot is also a wizard with a medium-sized legend, in the battle with the evil spirits of disasters, the Ferin Demon Aoi, who is hidden in Susal, finds an opportunity to damage him severely. The damage to soul and spirit has not yet recovered.
The Wizard Tower was also destroyed by Felin Demon Aoi and has not yet resumed normal operation.
The only thing Brian can do now is to do his best.
In his opinion, this battle to defend Susal City can be regarded as a battle of back-on-earth.
"It is true that children should never be involved in war," said Paladin Molanger. "Traveling them to a safe place is also the right choice."
"The young generation is too precious to take risks." Ranger Commander Bethrina tapped the table with her slender fingers, adding softly: "And... civilians will only get in the way of war."
"Although these words are a bit cruel, it is indeed true." Xisia said slowly:
"War requires all those who participate to do their best. You must not be distracted by worrying about whether your child is injured or not. Whether it is moral or strategic considerations, transferring the child is a necessary and wise choice."
"Where is the little king?" Prime Minister Ferfarier looked at Chisaiah.
"The little king is no exception," Brian replied calmly, "I will send the best guards to get him to the safe area."
This was agreed with Myrcella in advance. If the war was unfavorable, he would give up Susar City, the entire south of Cormier, and let Shisiaya take the little king to Arabia.
The purpose of transferring Susar's children and civilians is to protect their safety, so as to avoid massacres after the city is destroyed, and to ensure the population.
After all, with two wizard towers protection, the northern border of the Kingdom of Cormier is enough to cope with most disasters, and there is no need to worry about the rebellion from Prince Selante.
In this way, as long as his strength grows, he can drive the floating city to regain all the lost territory in the south of the kingdom.
After all, he was really unsure and could definitely win this war.
Silence suddenly came, the wind was howling, and the window sash kept shaking on the walls of the castle.
"That's what it's decided." After a long silence, the war lord Oglas was the first to break the silence, "I agree with this proposal."
Then he looked at Brian, "I agree that His Excellency Brian commanded the army and cooperated with his actions to fight back against the besieged orcs, but we cannot make mistakes, and we cannot bear the consequences of making mistakes, so the premise of all this is that your strategy can convince me."
"I will try my best to convince you." Brian said with a serious and serious look at the warlord of the war god Tampas.
