Chapter 238 Conversation

At the beginning of the dinner, Yan Xing and Carol chatted casually and politely.

Then the topic turned to the war in Gale Highlands.

Recently, Yan Xing has been busy with the issuance of food stamps by Creed Information Exchange and Eternal Grain Bank. Even when he went to the city lord's palace to meet Count Theodore, he mainly talked about New Tower City's loan from Eternal Grain Bank.

Therefore, Yan Xing didn't know much about the specific situation of the war, but looking at the old count's expression and fatigue, he was obviously not optimistic.

yes……

The principality did not send a single soldier to support the Stormy Highland Legion. Facing the attacks from elves and orcs, the new recruits every week cannot offset the consumption.

If there is a shortage of soldiers, we can only think of ways to develop weapons of war.

In recent times, Count Theodore has placed a large order with the Goblin Alchemy Factory. Workshops throughout New Tower City have also received a large number of orders for war equipment.

Magic energy defense shield, alchemy bomb, war puppet...

Catapults, ballistas, thornboards, armor, shields, crossbows, arrows...

All war-related workshops were working at full capacity to manufacture weapons, and they couldn't keep the money they spent.

Count Theodore was not unaware of the consequences of taking a loan from Yan Xing.

But at this time, who would lend him the money?

Who can afford to lend himself this money?

Anyway, the war was lost, or the Duke sent someone to replace Marquis Anderson, so he had nothing at that time.

And as long as they can persist until the end of the war, with New Tower City in their own hands, there will always be a way to solve the problems that arise during these wars.

Yan Xing was afraid of affecting the old earl's mood, so he didn't ask too much about the war.

Now that I have officially met with Carol, I can't help but ask some more questions about the front line.

Carol's job at the Rose Garden is mainly to collect war intelligence and find opportunities for the principality to regain control of the Stormy Highlands Legion.

Therefore, Carol's understanding of the battle situation is relatively comprehensive.

The current situation of the Stormwind Highland Legion is very bad, and both fronts are in danger.

Fortunately, because the elves fought too hard in the early stages of the war, the offensive during this period was not as fierce as before.

This allows the Stormwind Highland Legion to focus a little more on the Orc battlefield on the Western Front.

The orcs on the western front faced the approaching Storm City, and their offensive was extremely fierce.

Autumn has been here for some time now.

Winter comes early in the north, and when the first snow falls in the north, the elves are likely to withdraw.

Then the orcs will have to face the Stormwind Highland Legion alone.

At that time, his retreat may be cut off by the human army on the eastern front.

Therefore, the outcome of this war must be achieved within a month by the coalition of orcs and elves. After a month, things will get worse for them.

After the orcs on the Western Front learned about the empty situation of the Gale Highland Legion, they fought desperately in every battle.

The three fortress cities blocking Storm City have been invaded by orcs many times. If Marquis Anderson had not personally led his clan troops to counterattack, the fortress city would have been lost long ago.

However, even though the fight was so difficult, Marquis Anderson still did not bow to the principality.

The principality's army has already assembled at the pass leading to the Stormy Highlands from the mainland, waiting for the right opportunity to rush into Storm City to seize Anderson's military power.

This meeting with the elf envoy is to ensure that when Storm City seizes military power, the elf will be a help to the principality.

When Carol was telling Yan Xing about the war situation on the east and west fronts of the Storm Highlands, she couldn't help but think about some things she was going to meet with the elf emissary.

Yan Xing listened carefully.

The battle situation in Stormy Highlands did not exceed his expectations.

It's just that he doesn't know why the principality is still so calm at this time.

Isn't she afraid of making things worse and letting the orcs capture Storm City in one fell swoop?

"An outsider of mine..." Yan Xing waited for Carol to finish her story and said, "There are some things that Count Theodore dare not say, but I dare to say them. The conflict between Marquis Anderson and the duchy is best solved at first. The longer it drags on, the worse it gets. Difficult to solve.

Now Marquis Anderson must firmly grasp the military power.

By putting extreme pressure on Marquis Anderson, aren't you afraid that he will be desperate and give Storm City to the orcs? "

Carol didn't expect that Yan Xing would directly lift off this layer of window paper that everyone knew not to break.

She also immediately understood that Yan Xing was making his position clear.

Although he lives in Newta City and runs his own business in Newta City, he knows his place.

As an outsider, he can naturally say whatever he wants.

As an outsider, he can naturally talk about whatever he wants.

Carol used ice jade porcelain tableware that was even more exquisite than last time and tasted delicious dishes that she had never eaten before. At the same time, she replied to Yan Xing: "After all, the Stormy Highlands Army is the regular first-line army of the Principality. Marquis Anderson's prestige is based on He fought against orcs and elves, and the soldiers of the legion respected and obeyed him.

But he will never follow him and join the orcs.

At least the vast majority of soldiers will not betray the principality.

In a crisis situation, the duchy's forces have the ability to take over the Stormgard Legion before the orcs take control of Storm City.

Just like Count Theodore, now he is really trying his best to raise supplies for Storm City.

If Marquis Anderson really betrays the duchy to stand on his own one day, the Theodore family may rebel with him.

But if Anderson wanted to let the orcs into Storm City, even if the old count's only two daughters were in Anderson's hands, he would defend New Tower City and other principality reinforcements. "

Yan Xing felt that what Carol said was reasonable.

Following Marquis Anderson to establish his own business, he was a founding hero.

What does it mean to follow Anderson and join the orcs?

Not only will he and his family be brought into disrepute, but he will also not be reused by the orcs.

But Carol was too full of words.

War is not something that will develop in whatever direction you want it to develop.

Storm City is such an important strategic location and must be absolutely foolproof. How can you gamble so much to gain military power?

In case the support is not timely and the orcs completely control Storm City, UU Reading www.uukanshu. nnet Do you still want to make a comeback with a New Tower City?

Yan Xing felt that a country's think tank would never formulate such a risky strategy. Carol must have other plans in her hands to gain military power and keep Storm City at the same time.

Of course, Carol would never tell herself what her trump card was.

Although Yan Xing was curious, it was difficult to ask further questions.

"Since the principality can protect its interests in the Gale Highlands, I'm relieved." Yan Xing raised his wine glass and invited Carol: "My business in New Tower City is getting bigger and bigger, and I don't want to be affected by the war. cause losses.

I sincerely hope that the Principality will win this war. "

Carol raised her glass and clinked it with Yan Xing.

After drinking all the wine, she covered her mouth and coughed slightly, then asked Yan Xing: "I can see that New Tower City is already a bit small for you.

When the Principality regains true control of the Windy Highlands, some people will inevitably be liquidated.

For you... consider now who the friends you will need later. "
