Seeing that everyone was seated, King Terra cleared his throat, then raised his hand to Hogul, who nodded knowingly and stood up.

As Hogul clapped his hands, the guards stepped forward and placed the maps in their hands in front of Ronan and others. There were various symbols marked on the map. Ronan was embarrassed to find that he couldn't understand it, so

He could only give Mario a look.

Mario understood, helplessly shook his head, and then nodded to Ronan to show that he understood.

"What is before you now is the map of Terra's territory, which shows the current battle situation and the location of the enemy's main force.

As you can see, the city of Terra is built near the sea, but there is more than one city of Terra in our territory. There are four satellite cities and dozens of small villages and fortresses extending inland.

At present, the southernmost Taiwei was occupied by a surprise attack at the beginning. Most of the thousand soldiers who were caught off guard to defend the city died in battle or were captured. The loss of Taiwei directly caused us to lose control of nearly one-fifth of the territory.

The enemy left about a thousand garrison troops in Taiwei, but their large forces were very close and there were sufficient supplies in the city, so they could not recapture it in a short time.

Therefore, our current main combat goal is to defend the remaining acropolis. Once all the acropolis are lost, Terra will lose its only external means, because the port will also be lost. By then, the city of Terra will be easy to defend and difficult to attack.

There is no point in having more food."

When Hogul mentioned that the main strategy was defense, Ronan noticed that Prince Gao Gen sneered disdainfully, but Hogul glanced at him and continued to explain without paying attention.

"Our army currently has 3,000 professional soldiers, 6,000 temporary militiamen, and the enemy has 5,000 Volantis slave legions, 2,000 professional soldiers, and 6,000 Eredar troops.

Only when all the country's support troops arrived were the numbers on both sides almost equal.

The Eredar and Volantis can still draw soldiers from their territory, but they can draw up to two thousand more soldiers. If there are too few defenders in their territory, the Seljuks and Slovaks will let them realize that they have been stolen.

The pain of home.

The next step for our army's main combat strength is to deploy defenses in Taiwei 2 and Taiwei 3. Each place will send a thousand main troops and two thousand militiamen. A certain amount of garrison troops should also be reserved in the city of Terra to guard against enemy raids and emergencies. Therefore,

I hope you can go to Typhus to defend. We will leave a thousand militiamen and sufficient supplies in Typhus. As for the surrounding villages, we can only ask the residents to evacuate to the city.

The current strategy is to defend. The enemy's supply line is very long, and the alliance between Volantis and the Eredar is not stable. The Eredar are famous for going back on their word, and the Volantis are basically greedy.

businessman.

If the opponent cannot attack for a long time, there will be conflicts. When all your reinforcements arrive, it will be time to regain the lost ground or even counterattack.

Volantis and the Eredar are coming with fierce force and determined goals. If you hadn't arrived in time, we might have abandoned another acropolis due to lack of strength."

Ronan frowned after hearing this. This was too passive, but it could only be done like this when he was defeated on the frontal battlefield.

However, this will test the willpower and strength of the defenders. After all, the opponent can concentrate on attacking one first. However, the distance between the Acropolis of Terra is not close, and if they support each other, they are likely to be defeated one by one by the opponent's plan.

After explaining the strategy, King Terra coughed and said.

"I believe you all know that you are already very hungry after coming all the way. I asked the chef to prepare meals, so you can try Terra's delicious food and wine bar!"

After speaking, he waved to the guard in the corner, who then turned and walked into the back of the palace.

"Father!" Prince Gaogen stood up and was about to say something when King Terra stopped him with a gesture. He could only sit back gloomily. He always believed that Taiwei should be recovered first.

The most important thing is that he believes that as the crown prince, he should have more say, instead of listening to the words of an old marshal who is about to be buried and adopting the embarrassing tactics of shrinking that will affect Terra's reputation.

The King of Terra smiled helplessly. He had a son in his old age and doted on this son. However, this son had been instilled with too many patriotic ideas since he was a child, making him too proud of his identity as a prince and blindly believing in Terra's

strength.

Now it is difficult to change his mind by preaching. Only a heart-wrenching failure can make him wake up. But when Terra is in crisis, the King of Terra does not dare to let him act recklessly. He cannot afford to gamble.

The maids brought up plates of food, including roasted suckling pig, roasted chicken, long loaves of bread touched with honey, radish cream soup, etc. The most important thing was that Ronan also saw a plate of something similar to rice.

, Ronan, who had eaten rice for more than 20 years in his previous life, was a little nostalgic, but he didn’t expect that Slovakia also had rice.

As soon as he smelled the fragrance, Ronan couldn't bear it. His empty stomach was urging him to stuff food in.

But King Terra hadn't used the knife yet, so he could only endure it. The most important thing was that Mario was staring at him with fierce eyes, telling Ronan not to be rude.

"Haha, everyone, let's start eating!" King Terra smiled boldly, reached out to grab a roast chicken, tore off the drumsticks and started eating, showing some of the heroic demeanor of his youth.

After hearing this, Ronan immediately stretched out his hands that could no longer hold back, picked up a plate of food that looked like curry rice and put it in front of him, cut off some pork and put it on the plate, and started chewing it.

The maids continued to bring out food from the back kitchen, and at the same time they also took out large barrels of beer and large wooden cups to fill the cups for everyone sitting next to them.

"This is Terra's most famous dark beer. Everyone, let's toast together and wish you good luck in martial arts!"

"Prosperous martial arts!" Ronan and others were also moved emotionally by King Terra, and Prince Gao Gen, who was originally depressed, also raised his glass and started drinking.

"Terra will win!" King Terra raised his cup and shouted again.

"Terra will win!" The people below raised their glasses in response.

More than an hour later, the banquet ended. Ronan was slumped in a chair after eating and drinking, stroking his round belly with his hands. He was so full that his eight-pack abdominal muscles were stretched into one piece.

The maids cleaned up the table with messy cups and plates. After the meal, King Terra invited them to stay in the palace, and later arranged for the maids to prepare hot water for them to bathe.

Ronan immediately imagined a lot of sexy scenes, but Rexxar rejected King Terra, saying that they still had to go to the army to prepare for it, and they would set off to Taipei IV tomorrow.

Ronan had no choice but to be dragged away by Mario with a disappointed look on his face, and returned to the military camp. After casually taking a shower in the public bathhouse, he fell asleep with tears on the cold wooden bed without the young lady, fulfilling his dream that had not been fulfilled tonight.
