Chapter 395: Military Conference
In the Norma line of defense, inside the rebuilt Molai Army headquarters, a military meeting is in progress.
The theme of this military meeting was, of course, how to deal with the menacing Thracian army, but when the Marquis of Terence, who presided over the meeting, started the meeting, the whole venue was silent, and no one answered at all.
How to deal with it? No idea!
Can't beat it, so what?
The Marquis of Trensou frowned and glanced at the earls, viscounts, barons and famous knights sitting in the conference room, very unhappy.
At this time, he couldn't help but miss his predecessor, Marquis D'Addarion. When that old man presided over the military meeting, he had never been so cold.
It is a pity that Marquis D'Addarion is old after all. He has not been able to recover since the last time he fell ill, and has now been sent to Molai City to recuperate. According to the clergyman, if he takes good care of it, he may be able to live another four or five years. The implication is that if you don't cultivate well, you're afraid it won't work.
Of course, the Duke of Norma will not let the veteran who has presided over the defense work in the Norma region for decades die of exhaustion and exhaustion on the front line, so now the military conference can only be conducted by the Marquis of Trensou, one of the two marquis in the Norma region. responsible.
In terms of force, the Marquis of Terence is much stronger than the Marquis of D'Addarion - the old general is already a grandfather with his grandson after all. Comparing his force value with him is a little shameless - but in terms of prestige and military I dare to say that the Marquis of Terence is far inferior to the Marquis of D'Addarion.
No, that's not important, the important thing is that in this situation, no one can do anything about it!
The Marquis of Trensou said to himself in his heart: "I really can't blame me for this, no way is no way!"
But he couldn't say it, Duke Norma was still watching.
After a while, no one spoke yet. Marquis Terensu sighed and was about to designate a random person to answer when he saw the bottom of the conference room, almost sitting in the knight seat area outside the conference room. The hideous and ugly knight who was sitting and standing about the same height as a normal person stood up.
"I'm thinking, under the current circumstances, it's probably impossible to resist the Thracian army. It's better to think about what kind of cooperation conditions should be sought."
When this was said, everyone was in an uproar.
Although Yuneruo said it more implicitly, but who can sit here is not the old Jianghu? Who couldn't hear what he meant?
The Marquis of Trensou's eyes suddenly widened, and he never expected that someone would put forward the opinion of "surrender" on such a serious occasion.
Yunero was also sighing in his heart. If he had a choice, of course he was unwilling to make such a suggestion at this time and place. But the problem is, he has no choice.
In this military meeting, no accident, it is necessary to decide on the response to Thrace, and then to implement it. If you don't raise your opinion now, you won't need to raise any opinion after the resolution is made.
He thought about it again and again, hesitated more than once, and finally decided to tell the results of the discussions among the traversers.
The Norma region can no longer withstand the second large-scale war, and the various forces here cannot afford to migrate and retreat again.
The last time you migrated and retreated, everyone has already paid a great price. If you do this again, many families will not be able to hold on to their heritage, and many families may decline because of this. The price is too great to bear!
As one of the Norma officers, he also had some sense of belonging to this force, so he finally decided to speak out about it.
(If someone has to come forward, let me do it!)
He sighed in his heart and said, "Duke Alanz is someone who is enough to resist the King of Thrace, and there are many legendary powerhouses under her command to help her. No matter how you look at it, there is no chance of winning this battle. All we can choose is 'go' or 'stay'."
"If you leave, it means that the families and organizations that have suffered a migration loss before will lose again - this time the loss will be bigger and more serious than the last time, so serious that many are weaker in strength. In order to help them, the strength of the Norma family will be seriously depleted, and ultimately our entire force will be downgraded." Yunero paused for a while, and then said, "The most important question is, even if we leave, will it be? Will it be able to stabilize again?"
"You must know that if the Norma defense line is lost, the entire north to the center of the federation is completely safe from danger. It is only possible to build a defense line until the iron lock fortress close to the south."
"South of the Iron Chain Fortress is the most prosperous area in the entire Federation. Almost every piece of land already has an owner. How much land can we get when we migrate there? How many families can we support?"
He sighed and said, "So 'going' will definitely not work, and we can only consider 'staying'."
After speaking, he sat down and did not speak again. The counts, counts, viscounts, barons, and knights were discussing his proposal.
It's like there is a gap in the dam, and it will collapse soon. It didn't take long for some people to agree with his suggestion, and then more and more people agreed, especially those middle and small nobles, who said that Yuneruo said it. It makes sense, he is worthy of being a new generation of famous generals who preside over the battle behind the enemy and have both wisdom and courage!
They are not stupid. If they retreat again, the great nobles may still be able to maintain the prosperity of the family with their deep background, and they will be miserable - without the territory, their wealth has also shrunk greatly in the two migrations. Maintaining the current situation, or even downgrading it by one level, may not be able to maintain it.
In this case, of course, they would rather the Duke and Thrace make peace - surrender is of course not a glorious thing, but at least it is better than throwing a street.
After a while, not only the minor nobles, but even some of the counts changed their attitudes, expressing ambiguous approval for the surrender.
It is absolutely impossible for them to expressly support surrender. The counts are already the ones who stomp and shake one side. It is impossible for them to do such a thing that loses their noble status. At most, others do it. They acquiesce, that's all.
Duke Norma sat there without saying a word, watching his subordinates talk about it. Seeing that the wind of the military discussion gradually turned to the side of "surrender", he neither agreed nor opposed, but his face was expressionless.
Of course, some people support it and some people oppose it, and there are many nobles who oppose the surrender, and their attitudes are often very fierce, so that the two sides gradually began to scold, and even the development was about to start.
Seeing this situation, the Marquis of Terensu immediately came forward to stop it, but his prestige was not enough to hold the scene.
Seeing that the military conference was about to develop into a full-scale military exercise, Duke Norma stood up and said, "It's getting late, let's have lunch first, and then continue the discussion after lunch."
Then, he walked out of the conference room without looking back.
