...The hall of the court of nobles in Cordovia had been temporarily used as the hall of the Military Council. A few golden knight-level empire generals and the war god of the Empire, Rox, surrounded the original dining table in the hall, with the help of the weak light of the fire, they stayed up all night to discuss the attack plan to recover Molendo.
Originally, the hall of the nobles’garden was equipped with exquisite arcane lights, but due to the chaotic magnetic field, many of the arcane equipment had lost their effectiveness. The southern nobles were used to using arcane products, primitive lighting such as paraffin wax was usually only available in the countryside. To be able to afford to live in a place like Cordovia where every inch of land was expensive, it was almost impossible to use this kind of thing.
As a result, the current lord, Varys, could only temporarily find some flower oil to light up the place. The lighting effect was very ordinary. Not only was the flame burning pink, even the smell of the fuel oil had some inexplicable effects.
That thing was originally used for the nobles to flirt in private. Now that it was used in a military meeting, it somewhat disrupted the solemn atmosphere.
However, it had to be said that these big shots were indeed tough men who had been on the battlefield for a long time. They were extremely professional. In the face of such a situation, they still discussed the battle plan with a serious expression. There was no conflict at all, this made Varys, who was accompanying them at the side, feel inferior.
Not only these big shots, but the soldiers they brought also gave Varys an extremely professional feeling.
Originally, as the Lord, he had prepared exquisite meat and wine for these soldiers who had come from afar. However, these soldiers did not drink a single drop of alcohol without any orders. Instead, they divided their work in an orderly manner, first, they opened up the various city defense equipment that they had brought outside the city. Then, they checked the equipment, fed the horses, and sent a portion of people to replace the city guards. Only then did they start to eat in batches.
Faced with the delicacies that Varys had asked a chef to prepare, these northern soldiers appeared to be very restrained. Each of them had a very controlled amount of food and did not eat too much. They were afraid that an unexpected situation would affect their actions.
There were over 500,000 people. From the moment they entered the city until now, there was not a single trace of chaos. The order was terrifying. This made Varys exclaim in admiration and envy at the same time! Such soldiers were worthy of being the elites of the northern empire who could fight against the large tribes of the Beast clan. They were completely different from those useless rice bags who were thrown into chaos the first day they heard that Molando had fallen!
No wonder old Dane looked down on the soldiers and knights of the south. Now, he could truly understand the difference.
At this moment, he was carefully accompanying the elders who were a generation higher than his father, not daring to leave.
However, these old men were terrifyingly energetic. After discussing for almost an entire night, they showed no signs of wanting to rest. How could such a delicate noble like Varys endure it? He endured until two or three o’clock in the morning.., finally, he could not help but sit on the chair and close his eyes in a daze.
After an unknown amount of time, a gentle female voice suddenly sounded, “Your lordship?”
“Yes!”Varys suddenly stood up, and before he opened his eyes, he hurriedly said, “Is there anything you need, Duke Rox?”
But when he opened his eyes, he found that the person in front of him was a dignified and beautiful rainwoman without a melon…
“Oh… It’s madam icasio…”Varys looked around in a daze, however, he realized that the sky seemed to have brightened, and the generals around him seemed to have come up with an idea. At this moment, they were sitting at the dining table, drinking the flower tea served by the maids around them to rinse their mouths and rest their minds.
As he stood up in shock after making a fuss over nothing, the group of bigwigs looked at him with slight dissatisfaction, one of the bald old men stared at him and said, “The descendants of the Bersien family are getting worse with each generation, not even as good as a woman! !”
Varys was stunned when he heard that. He took a few steps back guiltily and asked the maid quietly, “What’s the situation?”
The maid replied softly, “Lord Varys, after you fell asleep yesterday, the flower oil in the hall burned out. When the general came out to ask us for the flower oil, we didn’t know where you usually put it. Fortunately, Madam ICASIO brought some soybean oil in time and even brought supper for the generals. She has been accompanying the general and the others on your behalf.”
Varys was stunned for a moment, and then asked, “Delivered at two or three o’clock? Didn’t she rest last night?”
“No…”the maid said carefully, “Doesn’t Lord Varys Know? Lady ICASIO has been sending supper and awakening tea to the soldiers guarding the city every night these days. She only fell asleep in the early morning…”
There was such a thing? Varys frowned slightly. He had been focusing on receiving the army of the Empire these days. Whether it was purchasing ingredients or arranging temporary accommodation, he was so busy that he temporarily ignored the baroness, he did not expect her to have the intention to win the hearts of the people.
But why did she do this? Those guys guarding the door should not be of much help to her son in inheriting the title of Duke Felon, right? Shouldn’t he attend more tea parties among the nobles at this time to increase his social interaction and gain the support of the southern nobles?
“Drink some tea and wake up, your Lordship?”Rainy Girl’s gentle voice rang out again, interrupting Varys’doubts. Varys raised his head to look at this dignified woman who was holding a glass teapot, and his heart trembled slightly, then, he nodded. “Thank you.”
Rainy girl smiled very ladylike. After returning a small bow, she picked up the teapot and walked towards the many big shots, respectfully refilling the teapot for the big shots.
Although her posture was humble, her excellent temperament was obviously different from those servants. This kind of magnanimous and respectful action made the big shots seem to be very satisfied with her posture, and they even started to chat with her from time to time, varys was stunned. He had been attentive for a long time yesterday, but these big shots all ignored him. Why did they treat a woman whom he had only met for one night so differently? What exactly did he not do well?
“The flower tea is done very well. The soldiers guarding the city are really lucky…”Rox, who had always been serious, actually teased him, which was rare. Apparently, he had heard that she delivered supper to the soldiers every night.
Rainless melon said with a guilty smile, “Your Grace, you must be joking. It’s my honor to be able to help those soldiers who dare to face the orcs directly! “To be honest, after witnessing the horror of those orcs, I can’t imagine what kind of courage it would take to make people raise their swords to face them. I’m really ashamed… “…”. “Now I understand why father would respect those knights who came back from the northern battlefield so much.”
Following rainless’s words, the faces of the big shots who were drinking tea became even gentler. Even Old Dane, who was guarding the hall, had a gentler expression when he looked at rainless. This made Varys suddenly realize…
It turned out that he had been in the wrong direction all along! !
It turned out that these big shots in the north did not care how much they respected their power, but how much the nobles respected the soldiers at the front line! !
This woman… was not simple…
“Your father is a reasonable person…”. Rox smiled gently, which was rare. “I heard about your encounter, and I am deeply sorry about it. But I believe that a strong woman like you will definitely be able to educate an excellent descendant for the felon family.”
“You flatter me, my Lord…”. Rainwoman wugua bowed slightly and said, “Duke Felon was born in the northern battlefield, and the felon family is also a military family. As the blood of the old man, he should not stay in the south to enjoy himself. I have thought it through. After the adults have recovered molundo, please take the two children and send them to the Imperial Knight Academy. The glory that the felon family has lost must be taken back with military merits!”
As soon as he said that, the big shots nodded in satisfaction. They had been hesitant at first, but after Molando was taken back, it would be inappropriate for a woman from a mage family to control the southern pass.
After all, Duke Felon’s only two grandsons were still young. If they were allowed to legally inherit the old Duke’s territory, the power of Molando would probably be in the hands of this woman from the Tuli family for the next ten years.
As part of the military, they naturally did not like a foreign city falling into the hands of a woman from a mage family. However, they were very satisfied with this woman’s firm stance of supporting the military.
Looking at the many big shots looking at rainy without melon with more and more satisfaction in their eyes, Varys, who was at the side, was secretly shocked. He thought to himself, “I really made a mistake. The wife of a country baron actually has such shrewdness and judgment…”.
At this time, rainy without melon continued to pour tea for the big shots with a smile. Taking the time to pour tea, she inadvertently glanced at the military map on the dining table.
Her gaze only stayed for a few seconds. Rainy without Melon’s talent as a developer allowed her to completely remember almost every detail on the map, and in the next one or two seconds.., through the old and new handwriting in the image, she quickly deduced the military plan that these big shots had drawn up during the meeting that night.
After integrating the map information, Rain Girl’s heart was slightly relieved. She thought to herself, “F * ck, I’m exhausted. I finally got the information. Hurry up, I’ll ask that dog Lord to pay more when I get back!”!
