Chapter 206

After a small incident, Yanxing said goodbye to the squirrel, left Lijia's tavern, and then continued to come to the city master's house.

Outside the castle gate of the towering City Lord's residence, there are obviously fewer sentries on duty.

Seeing Yanxing's identity, the guard immediately welcomed him in.

"Lord Yanxing... The count told us to take you to him as soon as you came."

Yan Xing followed the Guard officer to the inside and asked, "Why are there so few guards here? Even if there is no more soldiers on the front line, it will not be possible to transfer you close soldiers of the Theodore family?"

The Guard officer knew Yanxing's position in count Theodore's heart now, and replied respectfully: "return to your excellency... Miss Hippel went to storm City, and the count allocated half of the family soldiers to follow her."

Siebel went to storm city?

Yanxing wondered how count Theodore, who usually firmly tied hibell around for fear of her daughter's mistakes, would be willing to let her go to storm city.

But Yanxing didn't ask the guard about the count's private affairs. Anyway, he knew everything when he saw count Theodore.

Soon in the study of the city Lord, Yanxing met the old count.

After two months' absence, Yanxing could feel that count Theodore was obviously much older.

His face is white, his eyes are red, his beard and hair are messy

Obviously, I haven't had a good rest for a long time.

On the table in the middle of the study is a woodcarving map with some pieces representing different military units on it.

Count Theodore stood beside the map, looked at the situation of the windy highland, moved the chess pieces on the map from time to time, and didn't notice Yan coming in.

Butler atley stood next to count Theodore with a tray in his hand, which contained the pawns used by the soldiers.

When atley saw Yanxing coming in, he whispered a reminder in count Theodore's ear.

Hearing Yanxing's arrival, count Theodore immediately raised his head and looked relaxed.

"I have sent people to Yongheng collar many times, but I have been told that you have gone to the deep thunder swamp. Have you finished your work?"

Yan walked to the map, glanced at the situation above, and replied to count Theodore, "it's all done. I heard something about newtower City, so I went to the city secretly immediately.

On the way to the city Lord's residence, I saw something and felt that the situation here seemed more serious than I thought.

And I just learned that miss Hippel has gone to storm city. "

When it comes to storm City, count Theodore looks at the city at the southern end of the woodcarving map.

Storm city stands on the main road from the windy highlands to the principality.

The Northeast connects newtower city.

Radiate military fortresses and fortresses to the north and northwest.

Storm city is the center of Terrans on the windy highlands.

Now in the northwest, there are only three fan-shaped military fortresses between the orc main force and storm city.

As long as the orc army breaks through this last barrier, it can reach storm city.

Then the function of storm city as the center is bound to be greatly weakened, which will affect the scheduling of the whole battlefield.

The Terran stormy highland army fought on two lines, and Marquis Anderson was forced to make a soft and hard strategy.

Concentrate elite and heavy troops to stop the elves from going south and keep the rear of newtower city.

In this way, the orcs will not have so much military power, so they can only give up space and stick to the important fortress city.

Count Theodore said, "we have a wrong judgment about the strength of orcs and elves. They learn from us to use God given gold coins to build roads and forcibly build roads from windy highlands to their native land.

The transportation of materials and personnel of orcs and elves is more convenient than before.

We missed the best time to drive the orcs and elves down the windy Highlands, putting us in a very dangerous situation. "

The four sides of the windy highland fall greatly, which makes it very difficult for the Terrans, orcs and elves to supply the highland.

Man can't build roads.

God's gift of gold coins directly reflects the benefits of architecture.

Marquis Anderson used a large number of God given gold coins to build a passage through the windy highland to the mainland, so as to take advantage of the windy highland with more convenient logistics than orcs and elves.

Only on the issue of ownership of windy highland, marquis Anderson has not been canonized as Duke of silver mane.

He can only raise thieves to protect himself.

As a result... Orcs and elves are a little poor, but they can't lose the strategic place related to their own lives, even if they smash the pot and sell iron.

So the orcs and elves tightened their belts, saved gold coins given by God, and then built the road to the windy highlands on the mainland.

Finally, there was the war to jointly attack the Terrans.

Marquis Anderson misestimated the strength of orcs and elves, and the war was more difficult and cruel than he expected.

The war against elves can never go back.

Take a step back and be attacked by the elves in newtower city. The stormy highland army lost its logistics and lost everything.

Therefore, in the battle on the north line, marquis Anderson drew troops from all over to head in front.

The orcs can only retreat again and again, and there is no retreat in the end.

The Western Front soldiers should guard the hard city.

Marquis Anderson also knows that long-term defense must lose, and must have a certain offensive ability to fight back.

Hippel is the champion knight.

Even if she is not allowed to fight out of the city, it can deter the enemy and increase the morale of her own army.

During the war, marquis Anderson repeatedly asked to send Hippel to storm City, but they were all rejected by count Theodore.

Finally, Anderson had to issue a formal military order to dispatch Hippel.

During the war, count Theodore did not dare to disobey the military order and had to send Hippel to the front.

Count Theodore pointed out the map and explained the current war situation on the windy highland for Yanxing. In his words, he was not optimistic about the changes after the war.

Halfway through the speech, he couldn't help sighing: "our internal friction is really too strong.

Could have occupied the windy highland smoothly, now

Even the support of the principality for the windy Highlands is only to send materials, not troops. "

Hearing this, Yan Xing couldn't help saying, "don't you think it's too risky for the principality to do so?"

Count Theodore said, "the principality obviously wants to use this war to weaken the stormy highland Legion... And then weaken the Marquis Anderson.

Because everything the Marquis has is on the stormy highland Legion.

Facing the attack of orcs and elves, we had to work hard.

When the Marquis cannot hold on, the Duke of silver mane can appoint a new commander to take over the stormy highland legion with reinforcements.

Do you remember Mrs. Carol? "

Yan Xing nodded and said, "remember... Mrs. Carol, as the Duke's special envoy, bought a set of ice jade porcelain tableware from me. Didn't she go with ice jade porcelain tableware?"

Count Theodore said, "she's back again. Now she's in newtower, monitoring the war in the windy Highlands for Archduke silver mane."
