According to His Majesty Roland's plan, the City Hall, the Security Bureau, the First Army, and the Witch Alliance are the four major institutions of the same level, which constitute the administrative main body of the Graycastle. Except for the most special security bureau, the actions approved by the other three major agencies should all receive the cooperation and support of the relevant departments.
The original intention of this set of regulations is undoubtedly to better exert the power of the entire kingdom. Usually, it is difficult to make any mistakes when His Majesty himself is in charge. a very difficult thing. Therefore, when Wendy heard about the devil from Lorgar's mouth, the best way she could think of to deal with it was to issue an alert first, secure the city, and hold a decision-making meeting at the same time.
Of course, it wasn't clear to her how much trouble this would cause City Hall. The breeding wheat fields in the Hidden Forest produce hundreds of bags of Golden No. 2 seeds every day, which need workers to be transported to the wharf and shipped to the Northland, the Southland and the newly reclaimed territories of His Majesty. In addition, the collection of wood, mushrooms, and fruits from forest areas will be affected, and animal husbandry in grassland pastures will also be stagnant. Barov's remarks are not entirely exaggerated.
Originally, when the third Battle of Divine Will started, a new city wall would appear north of the border, including half of the grassland, which not only could form multiple levels with the existing city wall, but also effectively improve the utilization efficiency of the defense line of the Desolate Mountain Range. Made the ore smelting areas and factories north of the city safer. Even in times of war, resources from the forests and the North Slope Mountains will not be cut off.
It's just that this plan is still on paper. No one expected that the news of the devil's appearance would come so early. Compared with the losses she faces in financial and trade, she must make a more prudent choice.
"The devil is the basis, mortals, is this difficult to understand?" The light curtain on the wall of the conference room fluctuated, and El's disdainful voice entered everyone's mind, "Anything related to the devil can't be waited for , they are not stupid evil beasts, they won't wait until you are fully prepared to attack - I don't think you are deeply aware of the horror of your opponent. It's a pity, seeing that mortal king, I thought that these hundreds of years Come on, you have made a lot of progress."
As an allied army against the devil, Taquila remnants and Sleeping Spell are naturally eligible to attend this meeting. For Wendy's decision, the leaders of both parties, Pasha and Tilly Wimbledon, both expressed their approval.
Barov almost laughed angrily, "I don't know how scary the devil is, because it never appeared in front of my eyes - can these guys still kill people from the air? You keep saying that you must be prepared, this is the point I agree, but the problem is that I can't even see the shadow of the enemy! To the west is the Hidden Forest controlled by witches, to the east is a sentry tower built on the peak of Desolation, and there is an unobstructed grassland between the two barriers. Do we need to be so cautious that any action can be detected from miles away?"
It can be seen that the director of the city hall is really concerned about the task assigned by His Majesty. Wendy thought to herself that at the last meeting, he didn't even dare to breathe in front of the monster-like primitive carrier, but now he dares to say a few words, even Cynical.
"I think it's necessary," Ash said, "in fact, I suggested it to Wendy."
"The reason? Or because of an inexplicable witch's dream?" Barov tapped the table. "Don't tell me you believe her—if she is really worth believing, or if your relationship is so close, she should have been a witch alliance long ago. part of it."
"It's not for this reason, but based on the judgment of the facts." Ashes explained calmly, "I have played against her before, and I know her strength. If it was just one or two mixed-species demon beasts, it wouldn't make her so embarrassed. .According to the information currently available, without the support of magic stones, the madman's own fighting ability is similar to that of the medium-sized hybrid. Even if Lorgar cannot win, he can transform into a wolf and easily escape the opponent's tracking."
"what do you want to say in the end?"
"The number of demons she encountered is likely to be more than ten, and there are flying terrifying beasts in the sky to track her, so she was seriously injured." Ashes said word by word, "In addition, we also found one from her body. The map, if the handwriting is correct, it should have been left to her by Lightning—although I don’t know the specific process between them, but one thing is certain, after she left Neverwinter City, her range of activities was in the uninhabited wasteland area. Suddenly there are so many devils in the field, so we have to be on guard early no matter what they want to do."
"I agree with this judgment," Pasha's voice was much softer than El Xue's, "several miles are just a blink of an eye for Dread Beasts, if they really want to attack Neverwinter City, I'm afraid they will wait until Dread The beast has landed, and the news of those outposts may still be on the way back.”
"Besides, most people don't know what the devil is. If they let the enemy rush into the city without any precaution, the impact will be absolutely incalculable." Tilly also added, "The warning sign can at least make them Going home to avoid, to a certain extent, can prevent the spread of fear."
"Uh, but..." Barov was at a loss for words.
Compared with the previous few people, the speech of the Fifth Princess is obviously more prestige, not because she is the leader of the Sleeping Island witch, but because she has the blood of the Wimbledon family flowing through her. As a member of the royal family and the younger sister of the current king, the old manager undoubtedly has deep concerns.
He turned to look at the head of the army, a taciturn middle-aged hunter who seemed to want to win over a supporter. But the latter still stared straight ahead, as if not paying attention to the debate at all.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little stiff, Wendy gave herself a sigh of relief, got up and said, "I have sent the news to the North, I believe that His Majesty will issue an order at the first time, and Lorgar may wake up at any time, so please chief You don’t need to worry too much—after all, as long as you get more accurate information, martial law can be adjusted at any time, so before that, it is more appropriate to be cautious.” She paused, “As for the task that your majesty explained, you can also pass the other ways to make up for it.”
Barov frowned, "Like?"
"We may be able to transport the wheat by swallowing worms—as long as it is sent from the Hidden Forest to the Third Frontier City." Wendy looked at the Taquila remnants in the light curtain, "This way, even if the workers leave the city, they can Wheat seeds are loaded onto cargo ships."
"Huh?" Ella said displeased, "We're soldiers, not porters—"
"But for the sake of our allies, we can do this." Pasha stretched out her tentacles and wrapped it around Elza's body—even though she didn't seem to have a mouth at all.
Wendy nodded gratefully, and continued, "And livestock can be transferred in the same way. Honey is quite good at manipulating animals, so don't worry about them being frightened by Fran. There is no shortage of grasslands in the west, and there are Many undeveloped areas can be temporarily used for grazing."
Although Barov's expression was still not satisfied, his brows softened a lot.
"I know that these measures cannot completely erase the impact, but at this special moment, the safety of Neverwinter is the first thing we need to consider." Wendy knew in her heart that she wanted not to disappoint His Majesty, and she wanted to shoulder the responsibility of the Witch League. As a human position, meekness is not enough... She must step forward and become someone who is truly worthy of everyone's trust. "I am willing to take full responsibility for any loss caused by this move!" 2289
