"Master, are you talking too much?" Carrie questioned in her mind.

"Isn't this our original plan?" asked the boss of Blood Flag.

"Your plan is to create a 'mysterious and powerful' image, and let them pass this signal to the Queen Mother, trying to reduce the resistance of the Sham army to you. But what you are doing now is beyond the scope of the plan. That Iberlandon is fine, and this Eric...you are almost revealing all the cards to him."

"I regret it a little too, Carrie. Fortunately, it doesn't matter." The boss of the Blood Flag replied. "Unless he can escape, it doesn't matter what I say to him. As for escaping... hey, I will let Sguge guard. To be honest, I regret it a little, I can't let him go. An excellent general like him will bring me a lot of trouble once he returns to the battlefield. Find a way to catch another prisoner."

It was already dark.

This is the camp of the Shem army, or rather, a solid camp built before the two castles. After the Iron Fist Castle on the first line was captured by Greenskin, Shem's main force retreated to the edges of the two castles, forming a second line of defense.

Although there are two castles as horns, if you want to fight against Greenskin, the location here is not very good. But the army can no longer retreat because these two castles are the final bottom line. If they go there, they will be the human settlement area.

At this moment, in the luxurious large tent in the middle of the camp, all the senior military generals gathered together. Those with a little observation will find that there are some strange faces among the participants at this meeting.

There is nothing strange about this, because the Tulan army, as ally, had arrived at this time. According to the alliance treaty signed by Tiberius, Tulan and Sham, once a country is attacked by green skins, the other two countries have the obligation to support it. Of course, the treaty belongs to the treaty and reality belongs to reality. Tulan's army has come, but Tiberius has clearly stated that "friendly troops are not moving as if they are in trouble", and they have to watch it against the wall to revenge on the last time when they are unsuccessful. Moreover, they have sufficient reasons and can be presented to the court.

Shem had no choice but to do anything about this. They were like this at the beginning. Even if Tiberius barely sent troops this time, he would definitely not work hard. In fact, like any country, it would be easy to find a grand reason if anyone really didn't want to support the alliance - as a saying goes, the hardest thing in the world is money, and the best one is reason.

The commander of Tulan's army was a fat man with a bloated figure and a round and plump figure, which made the extra-large dress look like a risk of cracking. Logically speaking, this body shape is really different from the word "soldier" in the impression of ordinary people, but this general named Maide is a real son of the general. His family is a very famous nobleman in Tulan. Not to mention how many heroes of his ancestors have produced, and how many contributions have been made to the country. His brother alone fought to the end with the vampires in the Battle of Kalean a few years ago, sacrificed his life on the battlefield and sacrificed heroes. In this generation, Maide's family only had two brothers (so he has now become the only successor of the family). Due to the achievements and prestige accumulated by the family, although his appearance is really not very good, no one dared to talk about him behind his back.

Moreover, General Mead did bring an elite unit this time. It was a cavalry unit with nearly 12,000 people, half of which were elite knights, and half of which were prestigious light cavalry in Tulan.

In terms of force composition, the Tulan army is really nothing to be criticized for as the Allied Army. But the problem is that this full cavalry unit can fight in field but not defense, so it is temporarily placed in a camp behind the camp. In other words, the Shem people have to rely entirely on themselves in defensive battles.

The Queen Mother quickly announced the beginning of the military meeting. However, before the formal issue, she introduced everyone to Mede. When it was her turn, Perrin found a hostile look flashing in the fat man's eyes. Even when both sides shook hands and signaled to each other according to the noble etiquette, Mede seemed unwilling to do so - he even wiped his clothes when he retracted his hand.

Originally, this was an extremely rude act, but this time, all the Shem nobles present pretended not to see Mede's attitude. At this moment, they could not offend General Mede. Perrin just smiled slightly at this - in fact, he had seen many guys who were more hostile to the Holy Knights. Too many people were hostile to the Holy Knights for various reasons. Mede was not the first, nor was it the last one.

After the introduction, a clerk began to introduce the current situation of the two armies. In fact, except for the new arrival of the Turan people, everyone else was already very clear about the current situation. With the defeat of the last battle, the number of green skins further increased, and according to the reconnaissance forces, it increased by at least one third. Now the two sides were confronting for a short time, and the Shem people were waiting for reinforcements and strengthening the camps, intending to rely on the defense line to maintain their defense to consume green skins, while green skins worked hard to build various war machinery and accumulate combat power to prepare for the next attack.

Of course, the two armies did not have no battles. During these two days of confrontation, sporadic battles of the squad never stopped. The problem is that after the victory of the last battle, the morale of the Greenskin became extremely high and most of the victories were achieved. In the previous battles, the Queen Mother abandoned not only the alone knight unit, but also the morale of the Shem army. No soldier would like this commander who could abandon his subordinates at any time. After witnessing the friendly troops being abandoned directly, the morale of the Shem army became quite low at this moment.

"Based on the intelligence of the reconnaissance force... it is estimated that Greenskin will have greater actions within ten days." said the clerk.

This conclusion was accepted by everyone, because Greenskin itself is a race that is not patient, and they will never have the patience to fight the enemy for a year or two. The way to deal with Greenskin is simple and simple. As long as they can rely on camps and castles to defend and drag the battle for a month or two, Greenskin will disperse because there is no hope of winning.

"In addition, according to the records of the last battle, although there are many green skins this time, there is nothing to be afraid of. In particular, no creatures outside of green skins were found in their army this time - no large monsters such as trolls, giants, and even shamans."

Indeed, Greenskin did not use magic at all in the last battle. Because the only few magicians in the Shem army did not come forward, if Greenskin uses magic, it would create a very favorable situation.

This was not a problem at first, because considering the specific situation at that time, a considerable number of Greenskins were still in the Iron Fist Castle and did not participate in the battle. Therefore, it was normal for the shamans not to appear. However, the problem was that according to the information of the soldiers who escaped from the Iron Fist Castle, Greenskins did not use any magic during the entire siege.

"There is no magical power in their army?" The generals murmured privately, this was good news.

"Is this a trick of Greenskins? They deliberately hid the shaman?" asked Maid suddenly.

"I don't believe that Greenskin has this wisdom." The Queen Mother looked around and looked around. "We know nothing about the internal situation of Greenskin. Perhaps for some reason, there is no shaman involved in Greenskin this time. Otherwise, whether it is a siege or a field battle, magic will be a very powerful auxiliary force. But even if Greenskin does not have magic, our situation is not much better, because we don't have magicians either."

The Queen Mother focused her sharp eyes on Perrin. Indeed, the most important reason for the lack of magicians in the Sham army is that they have a very bad relationship with the church. Most of the magicians in the human world come from the church's magic academy and have a close relationship with the True God Church. Because there are only one or two magicians in the army, they did not come forward in this battle.

Perrin smiled slightly, lowered his eyes, and expressed his concedes defeat in this small contest. He already knew what to do. Let these people finish their words first, and then he could surprise everyone present.

"Everyone knows the current situation. Now I will ask you for your opinions. What should I do next?" asked the Queen Mother.

In fact, everyone knows that purely from a military perspective, the best choice is to rely on the defense line to adhere to defense in this situation. The military book says that "avoid the enemy's edge and slack attack the enemy" is this. But no one knows what the Queen Mother is thinking. Because the terrain conditions in this area are far less favorable than those in the Iron Fist Castle. If the defense is successfully implemented on the Iron Fist Castle, it can ensure that even a green skin cannot penetrate into the human territory. Once the green skin loses its cohesion, it will be scattered.

If you leave, you can only return to the Tiezha Mountain area. However, here, once the green-skinned army splits and collapses, they cannot defend against the small groups of green-skinned - this "small group" does not refer to the kind of team of dozens of people, but a team of hundreds or thousands of people. Once these green-skinned people pass through the front line guarded by heavy human troops and enter the area with relatively weak defense but dense population, it will inevitably cause huge damage. At that time, the throne of the Queen Mother will be unstable.

Of course, what led to this bad situation is the strategy of the Queen Mother using the knife to kill people. Now the Queen Mother has to take responsibility for the mistakes she made.

"Why don't we listen to General Mede's opinion?" I don't know who suddenly came up with this sentence. This is a very clever trick, because as a foreigner (but still a reinforcement), Mede doesn't need to care about Queen Mother Sham's attitude at all, and can tell the truth.

Sure enough, everyone else agreed, and everyone's eyes focused on Meade.

"In my opinion..." Med did not know whether he knew his subtle situation, so he did not refuse. "If you go out immediately to have a decisive battle with Greenskin, it seems that the time is not yet ripe. There are many Greenskins at present, and no matter whether they have shamans or not, they should not underestimate the enemy. It is better to use fortifications to defend. We have muskets and cannons, and if we engage in defensive operations, we will never suffer any loss."

"What if Greenskin sends small troops to the rear of our army and attacks those towns and villages with weak garrison forces?" asked the Queen Mother. "The place is too big, and it is difficult to judge the Greenskin march route, and Greenskin's nature will make it easy for them to think of this method."

"Organize a fast mobile force to help all regions. If Sham's troops are insufficient, the Tulan army can do it for the sake of their service."

"It's okay for towns with city walls, but those places without city wall protection... they cannot support the arrival of reinforcements. I'm afraid that your reinforcements have not arrived yet, and the greens have begun to burn and kill."

"This is an inevitable sacrifice. Unless, your highness has a better way?"

The Queen Mother stared at Mede's face, but Mede's fat face was very relaxed. Indeed, he did not have any concerns. It is important to know that he was just here to fulfill the obligations stipulated in the covenant. If the Queen Mother saw him unhappy, he could leave as much as possible. By the way, he also asked the Tulan army to avoid casualties. As for the safety of the lives and property of the Shem people, it was not within his consideration.

"Cough!" Perrin coughed in a low voice, interrupting the awkward confrontation. "Everyone, I have a way."
