Chapter 1230 Emergency Meeting

It takes a genius to remember the address of this website in one second: [Aidou Reading] The fastest update! No ads!

Barov was woken up from his dream by his servant.

During the period when the red moon appeared, he not only arranged for personnel to stay on guard all night in the administrative office, but also in the mansion - if any emergencies without response plans occurred, he required his subordinates to notify him as soon as possible.

Although Edith was transferred out of the Executive Office, her influence on His Majesty has not diminished at all. Now even his departments tend to ask the General Staff for their opinions first when formulating plans. Facing such a talented opponent, he did not dare to relax his demands for a moment.

But that's not all the reason for his diligence.

In fact, the old steward even enjoys this feeling of endless busyness. Busyness also means power, which shows that the operation of Neverwinter is inseparable from his existence. At the same time, if it is done well, it can also accumulate His Majesty's trust and bring double happiness. He really enjoyed it.

Barov got off the bed and asked while changing his clothes, "Tell me, what happened?"

"My lord, this is an order from His Majesty the King. He requires you to summon all the ministers immediately and go to the castle conference hall to discuss important matters."

"Now?" Barov looked out the window in surprise. It was undoubtedly late at night.

"Yes, the person on the phone didn't say much. Do you think you should send someone to the castle first to ask..."

"No need," the old manager quickly made a judgment. If he could call from the administrative office to his residence, it was unlikely to be a misinformation. Since telephones have not yet become popular, he is the only one whose residence is equipped with this device. Others must notify them verbally. "Call everyone in the house and call the door in batches - the heads of all departments must notify Yes, I missed one and you are the only one asking!"

If it were the fourth prince in the past, he would still hesitate, but now His Majesty Roland is an impeccable king. If he decided to hold a meeting in the early morning, then he must have encountered something extremely important.

"Yes...yes, sir," the servant responded quickly, "Then are you going to the castle alone?"

"No, I will go there with Pearl of the North." Barov replied, "I will personally inform Edith Kant."

…

"Your Majesty, everyone is almost here." Nightingale put on Roland's coat, "Do you need me to make you a cup of strong tea?"

"Excuse me," he nodded, "I called you here not long after I fell asleep..."

"This is nothing," Nightingale said with a smile, "Besides, I am in good spirits. The yawn before was actually just an act."

"Uh... just pretending?"

"No, no," she suddenly seemed to have something aroused and quickly changed her words, "I mean, although I yawned a few times, it was just because my eyes were a little dry, not because I was sleepy. By the way, you don't Are you planning to invite Anna to join you?"

"Let her have a good sleep," Roland shook his head. "She doesn't need to worry about this kind of thing for the time being, and... she is pretty exhausted these days."

In order to make the Rubik's Cube engine quickly become a reliable new generation power source, Anna spent almost all day in the North Slope Laboratory. In addition, the mass production of the biplane was imminent, so the pressure was understandable.

"The same goes for you." Nightingale handed the strong tea to him, "The time when you enter the dream world is not considered rest at all, right?"

"Don't worry, I'm quite talented at staying up late..." Roland smiled. Irregular work and rest was just a common thing for his era. This level of tiredness was far from the limit. Just pay attention to catching up on sleep afterwards. "Besides, if you don't explain the matter, you won't be able to sleep even if you lie in bed."

He drank the slightly bitter tea in one sip and took a deep breath, "Let's go."

…

When Ling Ling detailed his investigative experience over the past month, the conference hall was filled with silence. Everyone no longer looked sleepy, but became extremely solemn.

Agatha looked at Roland with a bitter look on her face, "Your Majesty, we..."

"This is not Taquila's fault," Roland reassured. "Whether it is the large increase in the number of high-level demons or spider demons, it shows that the enemy is completely different from what it was four hundred years ago. Obviously, we humans are not the only ones who are making progress. That’s all.”

There is no point in blaming Taqila for having wrong intelligence. After all, the other party does not have the ability to predict the future. In a sense, their understanding of the devil's side in the third battle of divine will is almost the same as that of Neverwinter City.

"Although the expedition team cannot confirm the information that 'the red mist has appeared' for the time being, if it really crosses the peak of despair, I can't expect new news to come from the front line in less than a week. The question now is, assuming that the enemy really does With the ability to activate the obelisk immediately, how should we respond? Before discussing the answer, I want to determine how far a fully mature obelisk can expand the red mist?"

Agatha hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Since the discovery of the alien devil entrenched at the bottom of the mine, the Federation has realized that the nature of the obelisk is probably a giant magic stone. If we talk about the small-scale magic stone embedded in the devil's body, The magic stone is transformed from the chaos beast, so the obelisk can be regarded as part of the original pillar of the ore. Although it has the characteristics of growth, its limit after maturity is still related to the size of the ore vein. But..."

Roland saw her hesitation, "It doesn't matter, it's better to have clues than no clues. And there is no static situation in war. If the results deviate from reality, you can just make adjustments when the time comes."

"You are right..." The Ice Witch nodded, her expression a little more natural, "Based on the experience accumulated by the Federation and the location of the vein detected by Lightning, a sacred stone vein equal in size to Taqira was transformed into an obelisk. Monument, the red mist can almost spread to here——"

An ice crystal formed on her fingertips, pointing to the corner of the large map on the table.

"This is... the first line of Grand Duke Island?" Edith said thoughtfully.

"Yes, if you move the location of the Great Rift Valley to Taquila, this boundary line is almost equivalent to the Impasse Mountains." Agatha explained, "Of course, this cannot be achieved in an instant, Red It takes time for the fog to spread, and it only takes a few days to cover the surrounding area of ​​about 100 kilometers, but it becomes slower the further out, and it will take several months to cover the first 100 kilometers before the limit."

Now it seems that it is a blessing to capture the Taqila ruins in advance, Roland couldn't help but think to himself. Not to mention that being ridden in the face by the red mist will cause the Desperate Mountains to be in vain and the four kingdoms to be undefendable. Even if it is a little later, for example, if the track is only laid within ten kilometers of the ruins now, the First Army's offensive will be because the sky is full. was greatly hindered by the red mist. In particular, fog is a fatal threat to witches. When fighting in such an environment, the army is equivalent to being blindfolded. Even if it has the advantage of range, it is difficult to take advantage of it.

"It seems like we have to race against time." He looked at Edith, "Does the General Staff have any plans for this?"

"Of course, Your Majesty," Beidi Pearl can be regarded as the brightest person in the conference hall. After all, she was the first to guess the devil's intention. "Although the enemy's movements are faster than we expected, from now on From a strategic point of view, erecting the obelisk on the spine of the continent can be said to be a helpless move. Although it is concealed enough, it is not conducive to attack, which gives us a chance to restore the disadvantage - first of all, all the personnel of the General Staff Headquarters The consensus is that if the enemy really appears from the direction of the Kingdom of Everwinter, our last line of defense must not be Graycastle, but here."

She clicked on the map.

That is the Cage Mountain of the Dawn Kingdom.
