Red Dragon Principality, Red Castle Meeting Hall.

At this time, the hall was noisy and there was no usual solemn silence. Because a "big military and political meeting" was currently taking place, all high-ranking figures in the Northern Alliance attended the meeting.

The meeting hall, which can accommodate thousands of people, seemed a bit crowded at the moment. Not only were the seats full, but the door and walls were also crowded with people. They were crowded and overcrowded.

Anyone who can appear here and have a seat is a dignitary from the Red Dragon and Black Feather countries. If you don't have the title of Viscount or above, don't even think about sitting down.

If Chen Xing were here, given his apparent status, he would probably have no choice but to squeeze in at the door and watch the fun.

The leader of the Northern Alliance, Aaliyah, sat on the throne at the top. The back of the chair was several meters high. On both sides of the throne stood Secretary-General Lacey and High Priest Ye Yang Bailiu.

There is a throne on the left and right of the next step. The height of the back of the chair is slightly lower than one-third of the throne above. Sitting there are the Red Dragon Grand Duke Sarod and the Black Feather Duke Dongfang Xuanyuan. Standing next to the throne are their

Minister of Military Affairs.

The high platform is divided into three steps, from high to low. In the middle of the lowest step is a speaking platform with several microphones inserted on it.

[A book-chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend I have known for ten years, Yeguo Reading! It is so easy to use. I rely on this app to read and listen to books while driving and before going to bed. You can download it here www. 】

A woman wearing a business suit and a serious face stood next to the podium.

"Bang bang bang!"

At Secretary General Lacey's signal, the woman standing next to the podium picked up a gavel and struck it a few times.

"quiet!"

The hall immediately became quiet, and everyone looked at the high platform. They held their breath for fear of missing a detail.

I saw Secretary General Lacey's long skirt fluttering as she walked down the steps with two long legs.

With a height of over 1.75 meters and ten centimeters of high heels, this height is enough to make most men feel ashamed. Coupled with the cool and noble temperament, she looks extremely powerful. Like a dazzling star, it makes people unable to open their eyes.

Lacey walked to the podium. Due to her height, she could only bend down slightly, otherwise she would be too far away from the microphone and the amplification effect would be affected.

But in this way, the breast line is exposed, which makes people's blood boil. Not to mention the men present, even the women feel short of breath and can't help but look at it more.

Lacey glanced around, opened her mouth slightly, and uttered clear and pleasant syllables one by one.

"Today we will elect three generals to take charge of three fronts respectively."

"In the direction of the Water Weasel Principality, in the direction of the River Bird Principality, in the direction of the Red Rock Principality."

"Those who are interested can recommend themselves or others."

Lacey cherished her words like gold. After speaking, she made a "please" gesture toward the podium, and then returned to Aaliyah.

After a while, the place became noisy again. The dignitaries were whispering to each other and discussing in low voices. Although they were trying their best to control their voices, there were too many people in the place, and everyone making a little noise was enough to turn the place into a market.

Until the eldest prince Gavin Maris came to the speaking stage, the dignitaries stopped communicating and the scene became quiet again.

"The River Bird Line borders Baiye to the west, resists River Bird to the south, and defends Chiyan to the east. It forms a corner with the Giant Lizard City. It has been a strategic location of the country since ancient times."

"I am willing to lead my troops to guard this place, be on strict guard, and wait for opportunities."

The podium was facing away from the throne. After saying this, Gavin turned around, nodded and saluted Aaliyah on the throne, and then withdrew.

The scene was in an uproar, and the volume of discussion was several times higher than before.

Because everyone speculates that the eldest prince Gavin Maris will go to the Red Rock Front.

There are two reasons. First, the Chiyan front is the most likely to break out of war. Second, Ricardo is the great prince's staff. Ricardo is the strongest military commander in the Red Dragon Principality, and even in the entire north, and is also the strongest military commander against the Chiyan Principality.

The best candidate.

Unexpectedly, the eldest prince gave up

As the front line, we chose the River Bird Front, which was the least likely place for a war to break out.

Because Trilis is behind the River Bird Principality, fighting the River Bird Principality means going to war with the Queen's Party. Obviously neither side thinks it's the right time.

The eldest prince's decision was also made after consultation with Ricardo.

Ricardo was well aware of the nature of the person above, and would definitely find it troublesome and adopt the tactic of "pushing him over".

She definitely disliked the Water Weasel Principality, so her first choice was Chiyan, and then she pushed all the way across to unify the northwest, and finally forced the Water Weasel to surrender.

But the Chiyan Mountains are easy to defeat? Since ancient times, how many famous generals have folded on this red clay rock. The best tactic to deal with Chiyan is to encircle them without attacking them until they are at the end of their rope and surrender voluntarily.

In Ricardo's view, the best way at present is to form an expeditionary force, bypass the Red Rock Mountains, and attack the Silver Claw Principality from the Northern Wasteland. Although the journey is long and time-consuming, the victory is safety.

However, Ricardo knew that with Aaliyah's character, the first battle must be to attack Chiyan.

Little did they know that the terrain of the Chiyan Mountains was steep and the slopes were slippery due to the rainy weather in March and April. Even with ten times the troops, they would not be able to attack. What's more, the total military strength of the Red Dragon Principality was only two to one compared to the Chiyan Principality.

Unless she takes action herself, she will be defeated.

No matter what the outcome is, the generals in charge of this front will not have a good life. In the least case, they will lose their armor, and in the worst case, they will die.

So Ricardo did the next best thing and petitioned for the River Bird Front.

As for giving honest advice, he has no basis for trust. Not only will it not be accepted, it will also be regarded as an act of disobedience and pride.

And he knew in his heart that in terms of strategies and tactics, Lacey next to Aaliya was not much worse than him. It was just that Lacey was too dazzling in other aspects, covering up her military talents. Even the other party's close confidant might not speak out to give advice.

Not to mention him as an outsider.

The "dementia" of the supremely powerful is almost inevitable. Strong power brings arrogance and arrogance, and he will gradually ignore the details, pursuing the pursuit of defeating ten with one force, and breaking the situation with force.

Aaliyah has only been promoted to the King level for less than three years, and her strength is at the top of the Heavenly Ranking. She is known as the "strongest personal legion".

Currently, the only one with a higher evaluation than her is the "Holy Angel Legion", but that is the "secret method of grafting" of the Holy Light Church. The Holy Angel Legion is the "sacred domain" left by the previous pope, and it requires three legendary strong men to activate it.

Such a strong personal strength, coupled with his lack of experience as a supreme powerhouse, will inevitably lead to many mistakes in decision-making.

In this world, there are no military geniuses who can truly be "invincible". They just never fight battles that they are not sure of.

Ricardo's retreat made many people see the problem clearly and chose to remain silent. However, there is always a shortage of people who are eager to show off and regardless of the consequences.

The old-school Earl George was one of them. After defeating several competitors, Earl George obtained the position of general of the Red Rock Front.

Earl George was born in the Peggy family of Lizard City. The comprehensive strength of the family ranks among the top five families in the principality, and it has a very high reputation among the old-school nobles.

The position of general is not something that anyone can take, and one must have enough reputation to rally the team.

The military system of the Red Kingdom has always followed the ancient method. Each feudal lord is relatively independent. As long as the general direction is correct, he can fight with whomever he wants.

This involves the issue of reputation. The higher a person's reputation, the more people he can win over and the stronger the military force he can form.

Earl George enjoys prestige among the old-school nobles, and after obtaining the general position of the Red Rock Front, he can gather feudal lords who are willing to follow him and form a legion.

Reputation means which followers you have, and position means the supplies you can get and the future benefits and glory.

To put it simply, the superiors give you a position and some funds, and you have to recruit your subordinates yourself.

, if you achieve something, you will be rewarded based on your merits, and everyone will share the money. If you fail, everyone will disperse and go back to their homes.

This military system is not as strong as the mobilization ability of a centralized monarchy like the Qing Kingdom. It cannot form a large-scale legion in a short period of time, and its unity and coordination are relatively poor, and it is easy to fall into a situation of fighting independently.

However, the error correction rate is high, and it is not easy to make extreme mistakes such as sheep leading a group of lions to die. Moreover, everyone is fighting for their own interests, and there are relatively few cases of colleagues trying to harm each other.

Overall, each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

"Come on, Earl George, you will bring glory to the Peggy family that they can be proud of."

Aaliyah's words of encouragement made Count George seem twenty years younger and his whole face was radiant.

If Chen Xing were here at this moment, he would definitely find that Earl George looked very much like his predecessor.

The passionate young man was inspired by the beautiful girl, and then died of corpse poison...

A few days later, the peaceful Orchid Town welcomed a group of "guests".

According to Chen Xing, a group of beggars came.

John Prader, the mayor of Prader Town, an edge town. As an old-school nobleman, responding to the call of the king and leading his subordinates to join the torrent of history is a supreme honor and the meaning of his life.

John Prader teamed up with the mayors of several fringe towns around Prader Town to prepare to go to Monitor Lizard City to support the war.

He knew that Mayor Bert of Roast Duck Town was also an old-school nobleman and wanted to persuade him to go together.

Unexpectedly, Mayor Bert said that he had joined the Hanged Skull Alliance and was advancing and retreating together with its president, Baron Chen Erliu. The implication was that he would not go anywhere without the boss's nod.

Mayor John had met Baron Chen Erliu before and had an unpleasant exchange. The two sides had different views and could not reach a consensus.

But he still bravely came to Orchid Town, trying to convince the other party. After all, more strength means more contribution.

When Mayor John and a few friends came to Chen Xing's mansion, they all shook their heads and sighed when they saw the garden full of young maids.

"The world is deteriorating, and people's hearts are not as old as they used to be..." "Just when we are making great achievements, here we are enjoying the beauty of the world." "It is not advisable for young people to be greedy for pleasure and lose their ambition by playing with things..." "There is no hope for the future of our country."

"Welcome the mayors to our town. My master has prepared refreshments and is waiting for your visit."

After receiving invitations from several mayors, Lao K came out with a group of maids to greet them.

Lao K's meticulous appearance and serious yet friendly attitude immediately won the favor of the mayors.

As an old-school aristocrat, he attaches great importance to decent housekeepers. Old K once worked for a large aristocratic family, and his standards are much higher than those of the small aristocrats in edge towns, so he can naturally impress them.

But when they turned around, the mayors found that the host had not come out to greet him in person, and they began to shake their heads, sigh, and curse.

Chen Xing was in the living room. When he saw the mayors coming in, he stood up and gestured. As the host, it was just a symbolic gesture. In fact, he didn't really welcome them in his heart. It was just out of etiquette that he had to receive them.

He didn't say anything speculative. He could most likely guess the other party's intention, which was to encourage him to become cannon fodder. He would never do such a thankless thing.

"Mayors, please take a seat."

Jian Yue Cang Lian stepped forward to entertain her. The mayors' eyes lit up and they secretly sighed that this maid was pretty.

Immediately, the mayors saw that she was a palace maid, and they were even more surprised. Such a face was rare in the world, and the fight over her in Ice Blue City must have been bloody, but they didn't expect that she would end up in this fringe town.
