"According to the information I received not long ago, Lord Daniel's garrison has already fought with the other party."
Sitting in the middle of the table, Oru crossed his hands on the table and swept his gaze across both sides of the table. "Everyone here has been following me for many years. If you have anything to say, you can say it here. No matter what you say, I just want to hear everyone's thoughts. "
Sitting next to Oru was a middle-aged man with a well-defined face under his dark gray curly hair. The deep outline and the eagle nose gave off a stern feeling. "Sir Oru, I have a question," the man said in a deep voice. Logically speaking, Lord Daniel's army in the Blue Wilderness has a great advantage in both quantity and quality. But your tone doesn't seem to be very optimistic about the viscount's arrangements? "
"Robin, that's because you haven't faced Sir Allen." Oru smiled bitterly. "To be honest, I'm scared of him. This young Sir is too good at using troops. Last time, he actually used a virtual weapon, which caused Lafus and me to disagree, resulting in my misjudgment. Although he left the battlefield early and preserved his military strength, he let Lafus die in battle. Now that Dawn Castle has become the territory of that Sir, I have an unshirkable responsibility. "
"That's right, if we look at the strength on the surface. The army led by Commander Tucker has the advantage, and I don't believe they will lose. But that Sir Allen gave me a deep impression. I think it's better to prepare for the worst. "
"Then what Lord Oru means is, if Commander Tucker is defeated, where will our Bauhinia Territory go?" Sitting on Oru's left, a white-haired old man dressed in luxurious clothes asked.
Oru nodded and said to him, "As you often say, there is no sun that never sets, and there is no sea that never dries up. Things are always changing endlessly. Since there is no such thing as eternity in the universe, it is not impossible for Lord Daniel's army to be defeated. I just want to be properly prepared before the great change comes. "
The old man called Shawn nodded and said, "If Commander Tucker is defeated, we can foresee that our Bauhinia will be in a very awkward situation. In the end, where we go will depend on Lord Daniel's intentions. "
"What do you mean?" Olu humbly asked.
"It's simple. If Lord Daniel wanted to protect us, he would definitely send an army to help us. On the other hand, there's no need for us to waste our strength for a battle that we're bound to lose. " Shaweng chuckled and said: "Master Olu, I think at that time, you will make the most accurate judgment. Also, I don't think your decision to leave the battlefield was a sign of cowardice. "
'"If it's just for your personal honor and disgrace, I think you'll sacrifice yourself like Sir Lafus. But you chose the Redbud Flower soldiers. It was your decision that saved them. If anyone criticizes this, then I can only say that this person is too short-sighted! Like a mouse, a piece of cheese is enough to catch its eye. Only a lion will see a herd of cows and sheep. "
The old man's gaze swept over the faces of certain people. When their eyes met, they all lowered their heads.
Oru was greatly relieved. After returning from the last retreat, he had been criticized a lot in the open and in the dark. This time, Shaweng openly supported him in the meeting room, which was undoubtedly a great spiritual support. After all, this Shaweng could be considered a veteran of the Bauhinia Territory for three dynasties. Whether it was connections or prestige, it was not something that others could compare to. With his support, even if it was only spiritual support, it was already a great encouragement to Oru.
What Shaweng said was what Oru wanted to say. If even Daniel gave up on him as a vassal, why should he fight against Allen for the sake of so-called loyalty? In the end, loyalty was also relative. As the owner of a territory, Oru had to consider more about the development of the territory and the lives of the people. Without these two points, he would not be a qualified lord.
'"Lord Oru and Shaweng, with all due respect, the two of you may not be too pessimistic. I think Lord Daniel's army has at least a 70% chance of winning, no matter what. After all, that's the Unicorn Legion, the most elite force in Lord Daniel's hands. How can it be easily defeated? "At the back of the table, someone smiled and said with a relaxed expression. This person was Alba, Oru's biggest competitor. His clan was second to none in the Bauhinia Territory, but his strength was too weak. With the support of his clan, he had never been able to suppress Oru.
Alba had always liked to disagree with Oru, even at such an important meeting. Hearing his words, not only Olu, but even Robin also frowned. At this moment, the door to the meeting room opened. A soldier quickly trotted to Oru's side, whispered a few words, and then retreated.
Oru's expression turned ugly.
"What's wrong?" Shaweng frowned and asked.
"I just received news …" Oru smiled bitterly and said, "Unfortunately, I was right. The latest battle report has just come from the Blue Wilderness. Commander Tucker and his army have been defeated. Tucker died in battle and the army was reduced by 90%. Now the enemy has moved and is moving towards our Bauhinia Territory. "
The meeting room instantly fell silent, and even Alba, who had a cheap mouth, shut his mouth. Things that were still in their imagination just now had suddenly become reality. Such a sudden change was really hard to accept.
Unexpectedly, just as the soldier who had sent the message left, another person ran in and whispered beside Oru. Oru's expression turned even worse as he hurriedly said, "The enemy has entered our territory. It is estimated that they will arrive at our city gates in an hour. Everyone, today's meeting is over. I must go and arrange the city's defenses. "
Then he said to Robin, "Go inform Sir Daniel and see what his response is to this matter."
Alba shouted, "Are you kidding me? It's at least half a day's journey from the Blue Wilderness to here. How can the enemy just say it? Even if they can fly?"
"I think it's better for Mr. Alba to personally go to the enemy's side to confirm this question, but I doubt if Mr. Alba has the courage to do so." Oru said coldly before leaving with a flick of his sleeve.
Alba laughed dryly and didn't answer. He wasn't an idiot, so he naturally wouldn't ask the enemy. He only lowered his head after Oru left, and his face was filled with resentment.
Oru came to the city wall and took the binoculars from an officer. He raised his binoculars and saw a wall of smoke and dust rising in the distance. It was a phenomenon that would only be formed when the army advanced urgently. Judging from the length and height of the smoke wall, it was at least an army of seven to eight hundred people marching. The Blue Wilderness was not a short distance away. Unless Allen's army flew in the sky like Alba said, it would be impossible for them to arrive so quickly.
In other words, it was another army. Could it be Ou Ban's army? Oru wasn't sure.
