Chapter 326: opportunity

The interrogation went very smoothly. Originally, Piero and Byrne were a little dissatisfied with the order passed down from above, so they said everything they knew. It turned out that the Iron Throne was unwilling to be driven out of the Baldur's Gate area, so it sent two groups of people to overthrow the Dalaran and Silver Shield Principalities while the Sahua murlocs were harassing the coast.

Due to the heavy losses of the army under Duke Anta Silver Shield, the situation in the entire northern region has been out of control. All he can control now is Soba with a city, and all other towns and villages are in anarchy. The special envoy sent by the Iron Throne saw that the opportunity could not be missed, and immediately recruited a large group of mercenaries to block all the arteries of communication, and annexed villages one by one.

The senior management found that things were going so smoothly and felt that Henry's side should also be vain, and immediately sent another team, namely Piero and Byrne. However, what they didn't expect was that as soon as they entered the border, they were spotted by the thieves' union. The reason they weren't arrested immediately was to dig out all the restless guys.

After getting the confession, Robert and Corey looked at each other and laughed in unison. In their view, this is simply a godsend. If done properly, the land in the north can be acquired in one fell swoop.

You know, Duke Anta Silvershield originally had not many soldiers. When he resisted the invasion of the murlocs, he only collected four thousand people by smashing pots and selling iron. But it's hard to say how many of these four thousand people are left now, and if it gets higher, it won't exceed six hundred at most. If it is a country that has been established for decades, perhaps a failure is nothing. However, the Principality of Silver Shield was only established for a few months, and most people did not recognize their ruler at all.

After all, the most important thing for aristocrats is to keep the land, otherwise the common people and businessmen should pay taxes. Although the people on the land did not have a good way to attack the Sahua murloc, if they couldn't even get a little time to retreat. That's too disappointing. Chachaanta Silver Shield faced such a problem, and his army did not withstand it for ten minutes.

In this regard, Henry did very well. Residents in the coastal areas south of the Chong Sa River have basically retreated safely, and they have also successfully killed more than 10,000 intruders. This not only declares that he has the power and determination to protect this land, but also shows a very good ability to rule.

After half an hour. The three giants in the territory met in the meeting room of the city hall. Hawke stayed up all night of nervousness, sitting here waiting for news. When he learned that the main envoy behind the scenes was the Iron Throne, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He glanced roughly at the information on the parchment, frowned and asked: "So, Duke Anta Silver Shield is in big trouble, maybe he is trapped in Soba and can't move?"

Robert stared at the map for a while, and pointed out a few key locations with his hands. "This is still unknown. However, based on the time of the other party's actions. I guess they have almost controlled the two riverside cities of El Toril and Schenubel. In addition, the trade route should almost be blocked. After all, it has been happening for so long, and we didn’t even hear a word of wind. We can only do it if the rivers and commercial roads are blocked."

Corey, who is proficient in military affairs, saw the mystery at a glance. El Toriel is located on the north bank of the Chong Sa River, connecting the road between the north and the green fields. Just defend the city and block the road to commerce. Then Soba will be left alone and helpless. As for the occupation of Schenubel in order to better control the three forks of the river, as long as 20 guarding crossbows are arranged at the pier, it is guaranteed that even a wooden board will not pass.

It seems that the special envoy of the Iron Throne in the north is very good at military affairs, otherwise he would not be able to make such a delicate layout. Thinking of this, he immediately put forward his own suggestion. "I think it's best to send an army right away to capture the two cities along the river. Otherwise, once the people of the Iron Throne gain a foothold, it will be difficult to drive them away."

"I'm afraid not. The Duke did not give us the right to start a war before he left. Unless the opponent advances or Duke Anta Silvershield comes to ask for help, we can't move a single soldier." Hawke refused without hesitation. Tao. He knew very well that this was a matter of principle, and as a minister, he could never cross this red line.

"Don't do anything! Just watch the iron throne swallow the entire north?" Corey slammed a fist on the table angrily. He never expected that his perfect counter-offensive plan would have encountered the biggest problem before it even started. Without Henry's authorization, no one here has the right to go to war.

Seeing the meeting fell into silence, Robert's mouth turned up slightly and smiled and said to the two of them: "Since we can't take the initiative to attack, let the enemy attack. Don't forget, I still have two irons in my hand. The upper level of the throne can do this as long as they make good use of it."

"Yes! Yes! That's right! You can surrender these two guys. Then let them lure the enemies stationed in El Toriel to take the initiative. As long as these guys cross the river, we can justify counterattack. This idea is really true. It’s wonderful, why didn’t I expect it.”

An expression of ecstasy appeared on Corey's face. In his opinion, the military strength of the Iron Throne is not worth mentioning, only about 1,500 soldiers are needed. Can sweep the entire north. As for the Duke of Anta Silver Shield, he will definitely make the right choice, after all, he has lost his army as the foundation of his rule.

After thinking about it for a few minutes, Hawke reluctantly nodded and agreed to the plan. To be honest, this year's financial situation is not very good, and he does not want to annex the North at this time. After all, the land that has been smashed needs to be governed, planned, and the refugees to be comforted, all of which require a lot of money and food.

You must know that the Principality is now relying on its own strength to feed the entire Deepwater City and a large number of refugees. The money is slightly better, but the food is really not enough. In order to prepare a large amount of food, twelve airships have been temporarily mobilized to travel between the Angkor Islands, Belgoost, and Deepwater City. The warehouse in Bluewent City is about to bottom out. If you can't get more before the autumn harvest, I'm afraid famine will be inevitable.

The careful Robert noticed Hawk’s embarrassed expression and walked to him and whispered: "Don’t worry, I’ve already sent someone to deal with the food problem. At most one month, there will be a food transport team from Cormyr. Come back."

"Thank you very much. I have been so worried about this incident recently, and Deep Water City has been urging to increase food supply. It is said that the non-combatants there only eat one meal a day."

Hawke's affection for Deepwater City is still quite deep, after all, he has lived there for many years. If it wasn't really difficult to supply, he wouldn't catch the opponent's neck. After all, the golden field, the largest grain producing area around Deepwater City, is on both sides of the Deshalin River, and it was destroyed by the Sahua fish people at the beginning of the war.

In other words, if the fish people do not retreat after the beginning of spring next year, the principality will feed all the residents around Deep Water City for two years. That is a total of more than one million people, and the pressure is beyond imagination. For a while, he even wanted to tear up the agreement with Amn, and directly put all the food in the green field into the warehouse.

Now that Robert can solve the food problem, there is no problem in sending troops. After all, Henry originally had a plan to annex the Principality of Silver Shield, but the speed was a little slower. After discussing the specific attack plan, the three men returned to their own turf to start preparations.

As soon as Corey returned to the barracks, he immediately prepared 1,500 people for battle. At the same time, he used his authority to recruit fifteen wizards and twenty druids. After the people from the city hall sent enough war supplies, the army set out in mighty force. They will go east through the Tower of Durrag, and follow the Urden Road to El Toril.

At the same time, Robert also completed the recruitment and surrender work. Under the **** of four assassins, Byrne made a path to El Toriel to lure the defenders out of the city. As for the unscrupulous Piero, he was directly **** and sent to the entertainment area of ​​Bluevent City. I believe that with his "beauty", he will definitely be able to live well in "Fire and Dry Wood".

After dealing with the two prisoners, Robert gave a map filled with red markers to his capable men. "This is all the secret strongholds of the Iron Throne in the surrounding area. Let the Dark Elf squad be dispatched and kill them all for me. According to the old rules, no one will be left alive."

"Hey, no problem. Antlaib complained to me some time ago. During this period of time, his subordinates are lazy. It just so happens that this task can make them all energetic." The thief stuffed the map into his boots and walked towards the hiding place of the dark elf.

Seeing his chubby back, Robert couldn't help but sigh secretly that there are so many weird people in this world. Don’t look at his confidant who looks a bit clumsy, but in fact the opponent is not only a twelfth-level thieves, but also a rare lycanthrope "catman~www.NovelMTL.com~ This guy has more Humans’ extreme reflexes, hands and feet can climb up any room or city wall without the help of any tools. It can be said that the cat man has strengthened the abilities of thieves in all aspects, whether it is stealth assassination or secret investigation. .

At that time, Robert spent more than half a month in order to completely subdue it. Since I had this fat cat, I don't have to do a lot of things myself, as long as I order it to go on. The efficiency of the entire thieves' union has more than doubled, which shows the importance of this guy.

Rubbing his dry eyes, Robert took out a piece of paper and began to write a report. As the spy leader, he must convey important news to Henry anytime and anywhere. Especially what happened tonight must be delivered as soon as possible. A few minutes later, the falcon, which had been carrying the letter of the password, was released from the thieves’ union and went straight to Ascatraz in the south.
