Heroes of Silver Moon

Chapter 627: : Negotiation strategy

In the hall, the quarrel continued.

Suddenly, Simon slammed his fist on the sand table: "Shut up!"

Because of the roar, everyone in the hall fell silent. Marquis Hood looked at Simon and moved his lips, but he couldn't speak in the end, and all words turned into a long sigh.

His eldest son, Greta, also went out with the army this time, and it is estimated that it will be a disaster. He really doesn't have the energy to compete with Simon now.

But Brom, the military minister beside him, did not feel the sadness of losing his eldest son, and asked in a strange way: "Does Marquis Simon have any good ideas?"

"It's best to keep your mouth shut, or I don't mind keeping it closed forever!" Simon glanced at Brom indifferently, which made him feel a little chilly, so he quickly closed his mouth wisely.

This time, Simon didn't come alone. He also brought a private army of 10,000 people. The commander of the Third Army, Grand Duke Gaseppe, was even his grandfather.

Now whoever has the army in his hands is the uncle. This really annoys Simon, and no one can keep him!

Going straight to the center of the hall, Simon looked around and said, "We must take the initiative to attack, at least stop the orcs at the Yelin River, and force them to fight us! Otherwise, no matter whether we stick to the king's capital or retreat to the southern border, it will be a dead end. One!"

His words shocked everyone in the hall, and they were stunned for a long time without recovering.

"This...Marquis Simon, what basis do you have for saying this?" Earl Hamilton asked.

"Hmph, kids, who don't know how to fight, they are probably trying to please the public!" Some lords mocked with disdain.

Simon's series of achievements have long made them jealous, but their own powerlessness made them attribute it to Simon's good luck.

In short, these traditional lords have great prejudice against Simon, the new great lord.

"If you don't believe me, we can come and conduct a sand table deduction. I will deduce the strategy of the Red Scorpion Khanate. Whether it is sticking to the king's capital or retreating to the southern border, it is just a way to die!" Simon replied coldly.

"Okay, since you said that, then I'll play it with you!" The lord who made a mocking statement just now walked towards the sand table with a sneer, and other lords and ministers also surrounded him.

Even Queen Stein and Pope Moonlight came over.

"Now that the orc army is besieging Buluo Fortress, how long can they last?" Simon asked standing in front of the sand table.

"According to the scouts' reconnaissance, except for the inner fort of the main castle, all the Buluo Fortress has fallen, and the defenders can last for another five days at most." The words of the Cabinet Prime Minister Medel surprised everyone present. They did not expect , the situation has become so bad.

"Okay, in five days, the orcs captured the Unfallen Fortress!" Simon tapped the deduction rod on the position of the Unfallen Fortress on the sand table.

"I advocate sticking to the king's capital and continuously mobilizing domestic troops. At the same time, the Holy Empire and other countries will send reinforcements to join the war soon!" The lord replied impatiently.

"Time, I want the specific time for reinforcements!" Simon said impatiently.

"As soon as we got the news, we asked the Holy Empire for help. Twenty-five days have passed. According to the reaction speed of the empire, the fastest is 20 days, and the slowest is 30 days. Come support us," said Queen Stein.

"Okay, let's count as the fastest twenty days!"

"The orcs now have 250,000 people. After capturing the Buluo Fortress, it is estimated that there will be another 200,000 troops. Among them, 150,000 will go straight to the capital, and 50,000 will be broken into pieces. The wolf cavalry squad is the main force. All over the northern border, towns and wheat fields were burned, and people were killed, do you dare to send troops to rescue them?" Simon stared straight at the lord.

Everyone's cold sweat immediately flowed down.

The northern border occupies 70% of the kingdom's population. If this is the case, even if this battle is won, the Silver Moon Kingdom will be no different from a subjugated country.

The lord's lips moved, and finally he could only choke out a sentence: "Don't dare!"

Don't look at them now, they have a large number of troops, but most of them are just militias. The overall combat power is weak. It is a blessing to be able to hold the king's capital. How dare they divide their troops to rescue the people.

Besides, in the plains, the wolf cavalry squads that were broken into pieces can eat up these militiamen with low mobility. There is no difference between dividing troops to rescue them and sending them to death.

"Okay, 150,000 people have arrived at the capital, and another 50,000 people will be allocated. No, 20,000 people are enough, and 20,000 people will flood into the southern border. The same is true. The remaining 130,000 people will besiege the capital. Do you dare to fight? "Simon asked pressingly.

The lord's forehead was full of cold sweat: "Don't dare!"

Just kidding, the king's capital is surrounded by flat land, let alone 130,000 orcs, even if there are 100,000 orcs, he is not sure of winning.

"Okay, since that's the case, why does it take fifteen days? In just ten days, the orcs can slaughter more than 80% of the people, and they can also regroup the army and withdraw to the Buluo Fortress."

"And the Silvermoon Kingdom will perish!" Simon sneered.

In the hall, everyone was silent. They had never thought of such a war thinking.

"Then, what about retreating to the southern border?" A northern lord asked with difficulty.

It is a dead end to stick to the king's capital. If it is impossible, they can only defend the southern border and find another plan.

"It's a dead end to retreat to the southern border!" Simon continued: "It's still the same way of massacring the people. First, slaughter all the people in the northern border, and then send wolf cavalry to infiltrate the Valdai hills infinitely."

"The Valdai hills are so long, we can't hold all the places. We don't need to achieve great results, just let us never have peace!"

Watching the more and more frightening deduction, everyone felt breathless, it seemed that no matter what they chose, it would just be a dead end.

"Then, what if, as you said, we took the initiative to attack and stop the orc army near the Yelin River?" Some lords unconsciously added their respectful title.

"Force the orc army to fight us and win them!" Simon replied briefly.

Marquis Hood also interjected at this time, asking, "The orcs have an absolute advantage in both military strength and combat power. How can we force them to fight us? And win them?"

"If the orcs don't fight us decisively, then we will continue to go north to Buluo Fortress to block the retreat route of the orc army. They will kill the people if they want to kill them. When reinforcements from other countries arrive, we will kill the orc army in one go. Eat it up, and take advantage of the trend to counterattack the Red Scorpion Khanate, and kill all their people!"

Simon's vicious strategy made everyone shudder. Is this war?

"Then if the orcs choose a decisive battle, how can we win?" Someone asked the most critical question.

In the final analysis, with the power they have now, they cannot face the orc army head-on. If this problem cannot be solved, then no matter how good the strategy is, it will be useless.

"I'll solve this problem!" Simon said calmly.

"This... just based on this sentence, we can't believe you!" Everyone in the hall shook their heads, seeing no hope of victory at all. How could they follow Simon to join the battle.

"Everyone, I am asking you to join the war. I am just refuting your stupidity! Regardless of whether you participate in the war or not, I will take the Third Legion and the private army led by Xinfa to stop the orc army!" Simon sneered Look at this group of people.

"No, you don't have the right to mobilize the Third Army, it is under the jurisdiction of the royal family!" Military Minister Brom replied with a sullen face.

As the cabinet minister of the royal family, he is also a part of the royal family, especially responsible for assisting the king in managing the military. Of course, he will not let Simon transfer the most important combat power away.

"Of course I have this power!" Simon showed the king's seal ring again: "Whoever sees this ring is like a king in person!"

Everyone was shocked~www.readwn.com~ but they were not fooled by it, they were just a little surprised.

Minister of Military Affairs Brome, whose face was so dark as to die, asked, "Your Majesty the Sixteenth gave you this ring, right?"

He clearly remembered that the old king gave Simon a king's seal ring, and he didn't know if he would take it back.

But now it seems that there is a high probability that the old man has lost his memory and forgot about it...

"No, it was specially given to me by His Majesty Jona when he went to the High Mountain Territory to allow me to act as the king's power at a critical moment. If you don't believe me, ask him!" Simon said vowedly.

Everyone in the hall looked uncomfortable after eating shit. Now that King Yona doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, where are they going to ask?

"I don't know if this is the one given to you by His Majesty the Sixteenth, and I don't know if His Majesty Jona asked you to act as the king, unless you can prove yourself!" Pope Moonlight winked at Simon.

"Yes, Marquis Simon, what you say is unfounded, you have to prove yourself." Seeing Pope Moonlight speak, the lord and ministers were all relieved.

With the support of this person, they can question the origin of the ring.

Simon looked at Pope Moonlight speechlessly, and then he saw Pope Moonlight handing a sword to him, the sword of kingship of Silvermoon Kingdom!

"This old guy..." Simon didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and then he directly pulled out the sword of kingship, which only the king can pull out, and everyone couldn't close their jaws in shock.

"I have made up my mind to send troops to Ye Linhe to intercept the orc army. If anyone refuses to follow, it will be like this table!" Simon cut the sand table in front of him in half with a sword.

The terrible silence in the palace hall...
