Ann pointed and Julian pretended to be confused, while Willard and Clement looked confused.
They didn't know that an Yizhi's last trip to lopven was actually a lot to help the two reckless men who were fighting guerrillas in the rear of lopven.
The two of them tacitly understood that they didn't tangle more on this issue. An Yi pointed to find an empty seat on the conference table near Willard and clement, and then said:
"Please continue to talk about business. I'm an ordinary adventurer. I'm just a spectator at most."
"Mr. an is joking. Of course you are qualified to participate in the meeting."
Ordinary adventurer? Adventurers are so awesome. What can I do?
In fact, no one here regarded an Yizhi as a simple adventurer. Even if he didn't look at the face of Nigu behind him, an Yizhi was strong enough to talk and laugh with the leaders of a city and a country.
However, an Yizhi was right in saying that they really need to continue to talk about business.
"Just talking about the specific assistance program, to be honest, it is difficult for us to provide particularly effective assistance to the city of new NaUA."
Julian counted:
"Our troops have been transferred back to our homeland from the front line. The number is enough to protect our own security and allocate part of them to provide military assistance. However, the two nearest roads from the ruins of the original NaUA city to the Tianjian mountains will be blocked. Our troops cannot pass until they are cleared."
Because the ruins of the original NaUA city are still there, it's OK for a small group of troops to pass through, and the large forces must not pass. You know, there are many demons nearby. A small group of troops try to force through, which is no less than beating dogs with meat buns. The terrain is too easy to be wiped out by making dumplings.
"For the same reason, we can't provide large quantities of material assistance. Even if we choose to switch from sea to land, it will take a lot of time to reach xinnaua from CanSo City, and the distant water can't quench the thirst."
Clement pondered and asked:
"Can a small amount of material assistance be?"
"There's really no problem with small supplies, but because of the existence of demons, many usual routes have been forced to terminate, and many peaks that can be crossed by flying ships can't pass. Our flying ships can only go around in a big circle from the East and west sides of Tianjian mountain. What kind of small supplies do you need?"
Ann saw it clearly. Willard whispered Clement under the table. It was like saying, 'are you really going to form an alliance?'
Clement was somewhat more powerful than his eldest brother, and quietly motioned Willard to take it easy:
"We need ordnance, the more the better."
This is an urgent problem for the new NaUA city. They don't have many soldiers, and the weapons they used were obtained when they were fighting guerrillas in the rear of lopven.
This is not a world where soldiers can be soldiers with a long gun. The combat effectiveness of such soldiers is no better than that of farmers.
A standard soldier needs a leather armor or light breastplate, a helmet, a pair of durable leather boots, a long sword or other medium weapons, a bread iron wood shield or leather shield, and it is best to add some auxiliary weapons or equipment such as a crossbow and a dagger knife.
This is the equipment that soldiers of the lowest standard should have. For example, the Lop army, most of its weapons are made of corrosion-resistant black steel, and most of its armor is made of tough shadow. In contrast, these soldiers in new NaUA city are basically like beggars.
There is no shortage of people in xinnaua city. Due to the incomparable benevolence and righteousness of the lion heart king, the residents of yuannaua city immediately rushed back with their families after hearing that the two sons of the lion heart King rebuilt NaUA city. In addition, during the last demon invasion, a large number of cities were burned down and many civilians were displaced. They also came to xinnaua city together, including some former soldiers, With a little training, you can become an army.
Originally, their most urgent problem was the food problem. Therefore, they had to cultivate crops on a wide range of reclaimed land outside the city, and contacted other nearby cities to buy a large amount of food by means of interest free loans.
According to the plan designated by clement, taking advantage of the large empty business road close to the dark area, they can repay all their loans and achieve self-sufficiency in up to two or three years. At that time, the city was on the right track, and there was a budget to expand armaments.
However, the sudden appearance of demons directly disrupted the plan, and the strategy of new NaUA city had to be adjusted from "eat enough" to "live". After all, with only more than 1000 soldiers in the city, the demons would be basically finished as long as they came.
On the one hand, the blacksmith shop in the city is working hard. On the other hand, Clement also contacted the nearby Ironforge to buy a batch of weapons and equipment. However, the other party is expanding its army due to the devil. When this batch of equipment will arrive is still a big problem.
It can be said that the new NaUA city has no sense of security at all. They are only half a day away from the demons gathered under the Tianjian mountains. Although the demons are not moving now, it is difficult to guarantee when they will suddenly attack.
Therefore, under the circumstances of such objective facts, Clement was indeed persuaded by Julian's words.
"Ordnance is not a big problem."
Julian said easily:
"We can deploy directly into the army, all the weapons and equipment are of the same quality as our army, and you can only continue to use them with minor modifications. I can guarantee that the first ordnance is enough to equip five hundred soldiers, but the premise is to ensure the transportation route."
He immediately spread his hand:
"The western countries are at war with us, and the current war situation has eased, but they still refuse my alliance request. The flying ship transporting ordnance can only bypass the Tianjian mountains from the East, so the premise is that the two sadmir cities that can talk allow our flying ship to pass."
The big and small city states west of lophoven are not close to the Tianjian mountains, so there is no threat of demons. Therefore, they refuse Julian's request. If you go from the East, you will inevitably pass through the city states in sadmir, such as kanso city and Amen. These city states have directly declared war on lophoven since the fall of NaUA, The flying ship belonging to lopven is easy to be shot down here.
Strictly speaking, it's really not a problem for the two sons of the lion heart king to say hello to the city states along the way and let the flying ship pass. The biggest problem is that the new NaUA city has formed an alliance with lopven behind the sadmir city-state alliance that should advance and retreat together, which fundamentally violates the bottom line of the alliance.
Clement and Willard certainly understand the problem. If they first form an alliance with lopven, they will be abandoned by the sadmir city-state alliance, but they will lose the olive branch handed by Julian. Many city-states of the sadmir city-state alliance are in a state of self-care and unable to support them.
While struggling, Ann suddenly said:
"Lord Julian, with all due respect, your real intention is not to form an alliance with the city of new NaUA, but with the whole sadmir city-state alliance?"
Julian's face remained unchanged, still smiling and saying:
"That's what I mean."
Julian came to the city of new NaUA in order to fight the devil. Other cities in sadmir are not blind and can be seen naturally.
If the city of new NaUA does not want to carry the black pot of treachery and form an alliance with lopven, the only and best way is to call on the whole sadmir city-state alliance to discuss the matter with Julian.
"In fact, not only the sadmir city-state alliance, Mr. an, you adventurers can't stay out of this matter. All along, the attitude of cities towards adventurers is to give them the greatest degree of freedom. No matter who is the city master, they won't restrict adventurers too much. But now the power of adventurers has become a part that can't be ignored, so I propose."
Julian stood up and said to the other three:
"Hold a real large-scale conference, including the sadmir city-state alliance and various famous adventurers and adventurers' associations. We need to unite all forces that can be united to fight against demons."
Ann squinted. Julian, this guy, can really seize the opportunity.
–‐‐——–‐‐——
Julian's proposal is not unreasonable. The emergence of the devil can not be solved by one or two adventurer teams, nor by one or two city states. This is a common problem of all creatures in the mortal world.
If you want to expel these demons back to the hometown of the abyss, you must unite all forces that can be united, including the tree elves living in the forest. Even if you can, Julian wants to unite even the lizards in the dead swamp.
It's better to do this sooner rather than later. The sooner the better. In order to reassure the city leaders in sadmir, Julian proposed that the venue of the meeting should be in the new NaUA city.
Clement and Willard considered it for a moment, and even if they agreed, as Julian said, even if lophoven is allied with the city of new NaUA, it is impossible to resist the devil with these forces alone. However, if the sadmir city-state alliance is allied with lophoven, the effect will not be as simple as one plus one equals two.
In fact, war is about logistics. Due to the sudden arrival of the devil, materials everywhere began to squeeze. Many trade routes were impassable due to political and military factors, which caused major problems in the transportation of materials.
The final result is that sadmir city states unite and fight their own battles, which can not be condensed into a force.
Once the alliance is formed, the deployment of materials will be dispatched under unified command. Both the army and supplies can be transported to the place where they are needed at the fastest speed, and the impact is more than a little bit.
Julian may be confused about this move. Even if he can't expel the demons on the south side of Tianjian mountain, he can at least protect himself. He took such a big risk to come to xinnaua city and allied with sadmir alliance. He paid much more than he gained.
In short, what does he want?
Whether in the game or in reality, the support for people's actions is name and benefit. Since Julian's move has no benefit, it is mostly for name.
It can gain great fame by uniting the power of the whole mortal world. If Ann Yizhi guessed correctly, Julian probably didn't inform his parliamentary faction at all. He would do it first before they thought of it.
In this way, the world will only know that Julian runs to deal with demons, and those powerful lords of Parliament are completely placed in play, further consolidating Julian's popular foundation.
On the other hand, taking advantage of the devil's invasion, Julian only needs to raise his arms and say, "we need more troops to deal with the devil". Even if the parliamentary faction tries every means to block it, it can only recognize it by holding its nose under such great righteousness, and Julian will really get military power.
I'm afraid this guy made a plan on how to use it soon after he heard the news of the sudden arrival of the devil. He was still as open and aboveboard as ever.
