MTL - Fantasy Family Simulator-Chapter 280 Refreshing breakfast (ask for a monthly ticket, recommended ticket)
"That's right." Leiter said: "So don't worry, I have enough power to protect myself in this cold current defense line, and at the same time, I will try my best to ensure the safety of my subordinates."
Then, he continued: "However, the battlefield is not a greenhouse. In the face of cruel life and death, there is no such thing as absolute safety. We must face this storm fearlessly. I believe that crossing this cruel sea, the Green family will usher in an unprecedented battle." Metamorphosis."
"Unprecedented transformation..." Ruilai muttered to himself, chewing these words repeatedly, and suddenly said: "Could it be that Father is planning to fight for the Grand Duke position?"
Rett glanced at Ruilai, shook his head with a chuckle: "Yes, and no. The Grand Duke is a sign of our strength, but our strength does not depend on the Grand Duke..."
Looking at the smile on the corner of his father's mouth and his calm tone, Ruilai couldn't help being overwhelmed by this confidence and smiled. In addition, knowing that his father is now a great magister, the pressure in his heart has been relieved a lot, but it seems that he has thought of other aspects, and he still said with a little worry:
"I believe that my lord father will be able to overcome this difficulty, but the knights under him may have to sacrifice a lot..."
"Always cross the gully to meet the rainstorm." Leiter was silent for a moment, and said: "If everyone wants to escape, how can there be stability and peace."
Ruilai was silent for a moment, and said with emotion: "It is true, ending war with war is the most correct and effective way."
"Well, but for this war, you don't need to follow me over."
"Why?"
"Because Dark Eagle City needs you more, after I leave, no one is more suitable than you to manage the territory."
"No, my lord father, I want to follow you too!" Ruilai said hastily, his face changed slightly.
"Son, be obedient." Leiter patted Ruilai on the shoulder, his tone softened, and said: "You have grown into a goshawk on your own, you have your own sky, and you don't need to practice with me every time. After I leave , you can still play a role in stabilizing everything in the family."
"After all, today's Dark Eagle City is no better than Young Eagle Town when the canyon defense broke out five years ago. Whether it is the scope of our territory or the number of extraordinary people in the territory, it is far inferior to what it is now. Different environments have different Strategy, in today’s situation, if we just walk away, the controllability of internal risks will be too poor.”
"This..." Ruilai's face was rather unwilling, but he knew very well in his heart that what his father said was right, and he was speechless for a while.
And Leiter continued: "I will let the white hat stay, as a sixth-level magister, it is enough to suppress all unstable factors!"
"Huh." Ruilai took a deep breath, "Understood, then do as Father said. If you have any needs, you must ask me in time."
"Well, you will help me draw up some letters later, and send them to all the nobles in the southwestern border, so that they can prepare military forces in advance according to the kingdom's decree. They will come to the grassland east of Jacques Forest to gather when the kingdom's call-up order is issued." Lei Lei Tate said thoughtfully. Jacques Forest is not far from Shenyan Village, and the terrain is open, which is convenient for gathering troops and providing supplies, so he thought of a good place.
Rilei nodded and said: "Understood, I guess they have already started to prepare their forces. After all, this matter is so important that no one will slack off."
With such an important event, the two of them lost the mood to continue wandering around. After talking about some details, they went back to Dark Rock Castle for breakfast.
Today is the weekend, Thales and Mina are both in Darkrock Castle, they came down the stairs, just in time to see their father and Rilai coming in together, Thales greeted energetically: "Good morning, Father, Rilai."
Riley squeezed out a smile: "Good morning, Thales."
"Huh? Rilai, you don't seem to be in a good mood. Why do you look so sad?" Thales looked at Rilai's gloomy expression, and a trace of curiosity emerged in his heart. In his impression, Ruilai is very calm, can deal with everything calmly, and rarely shows a sad face, which is really rare today.
"Have you encountered a difficult matter?" Mina, who was wearing a long beige dress, asked from the side.
Ruilai glanced at the two of them with complicated eyes, and nodded: "That's right."
Mina pursed her lips and said, "Why don't you share it with us? We can also give you suggestions."
"That's right, it's the first time I've heard of something that makes Rilai feel a headache, please share it with us." Thales didn't realize the seriousness of the matter at this time, but asked with great interest.
"I am not troubled by this matter itself, but have nothing to do about it."
Rilei was silent for a moment, then suddenly said something meaningful, and then sat down in his seat.
"What, inexplicable..." Thales blinked, looking at Rilai's back, confused.
Seeing that Thales was still curious and wanted to ask, Leiter waved his hand aside, "Okay, Thales, I will make a unified announcement when everyone arrives. Sit down first."
"Okay, Father." Thales shrugged, took Mina's hand and returned to his position.
Not long after, Tucker, Vanessa, and Dick also came down, greeted a few times and began to sit down. When everyone was present, Maru's cook began to push the dining car from the aisle, and the kitchen maid brought delicious dishes one by one. The dinner plate is brought to the table.
The dishes prepared this morning include steamed blue-backed crayfish, garlic giant tooth scallops, grilled meat with crab roe, seafood soup, vegetable and fruit salad, purple potato mash, braised rabbit meat, preserved venison leg...
The dining table was full of fragrance and steaming. Tucker had already held a knife and fork in his hand, fully armed, and just waiting for the order to serve, he moved his mouth to destroy the food in front of him.
"Children, don't be in a hurry to eat, there is something important, I want to announce it to everyone."
Rett's voice broke the silence, his eyes scanned everyone's face, and then said:
"I just received a message that the fighting on the Hanliu defense line escalated. We were attacked by orcs who broke the rules and suffered heavy losses. The royal family is already preparing for a large-scale attack. It is estimated that the call-up order will come down soon."
"Ah!" Mina covered her mouth in surprise and gasped.
Panicked, the tableware in her hand accidentally fell off and fell on the white plate, making a crisp jingling sound, which was particularly ear-piercing in the silent hall.
Ding Dong
"Father, my lord father, why did the news come so suddenly? Is it really reliable? Could someone fabricate rumors." Vanessa asked with a trace of sadness. She also felt her heart beat faster when she heard the news, and an invisible The pressure was like a heavy stone, pressing on my heart.
"It won't be a rumor. I can guarantee that the news is absolutely true. Many people in the southwest border already know about it." Leiter tapped the dining table with his index finger.
Tucker opened his mouth wide and shouted, "Ah? According to this, after going to the battlefield, wouldn't it be impossible to eat exquisite food!"
Vanessa heard the words, gave Tucker a blank look, and said angrily: "I know how to eat, don't you know how dangerous the cold current defense line is? It's good to save your life, and you're still thinking about food..."
"Haha, as long as my father goes, I will follow. There will be no danger with my father!" Tucker touched the back of his head and smiled honestly.
"I'm going too, I'm going too, I'm going to fight the orcs!"
Suddenly, an immature child's voice came from the left side of Vanessa. It was Dick waving his small fist and shouting excitedly, his little face was full of fighting spirit.
These two shouts made the tense atmosphere of the scene slightly relaxed. Hearing Dick's voice, the maids around the dining table also breathed a sigh of relief and smiled again.
"Little Dick, you are very brave. I will take you there when you grow up!" Rhett smiled gently.
Then he looked at the crowd again and said: "Having said that, when the call-up order comes down, as the Marquis of the Southwest Border, I must not sit idly by and must respond to the call-up of the cold current defense line."
"But... What if the canyon defense line is in turmoil again?"
At this moment, Kelina rolled her eyes and asked, "Father is the Marquis of the southwest border, so he should pay more attention to the situation of the canyon defense line?"
Leiter turned his head and said, "Isn't there still the Bryan family and the Jinn family? In fact, my arrangement for the cold current defense line for the nobles on the southwestern border is that one of these two earl families will stay behind, and the rest will stay behind." The little nobles have to mobilize their strength."
"The current situation in the canyon defense line is very stable. The orcs have no plans to increase their offensive. Their power against our Jinlun Kingdom is currently concentrated in the cold current defense line, and it is impossible to disperse to other fronts."
Leiter explained a few words, then looked at the crowd, and said, "Riley and I have discussed it just now, this time we will go to the Cold Current line of defense, and Rilai will stay in the territory, and you two, Tucker and Thales, will follow me to the battlefield. "
The voice fell, and the scene was briefly quiet. The butler Sveta behind sighed softly, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.
Tucker said carelessly: "No problem, are you going to fight with your father again? Aha, this time I must blow the head of the orc!"
"You should still worry about yourself, don't talk big!" Vanessa was very helpless at the side, she turned her head to look at Leiter, and said with hope in her eyes: "My lord, when going to the battlefield this time, the blood of the Green family is all Rely on your protection, of course, you must protect yourself."
"Don't worry, I will." Lei Te nodded.
Mina next to her was even more worried. She looked at Thales and then at her father. In fact, she really wanted to ask if Thales could refine medicine in the alchemy tower, but this excuse was too cowardly. She hesitated for a while. Did not say it.
Thales scratched his head and said, "Father, this time...do you still want me to be the executioner?"
"Well, your strength is the weakest, so you can be an executioner with peace of mind. I will apply to the higher authorities. This matter should be fine." Leiter glanced at Thales and said.
Hearing this, Mina's beautiful eyes lit up, her heart was filled with surprise again, she looked at Thales and said, "Yes, you can be the executioner!"
"This... Actually, I also want to go to the battlefield with my father." Thales said with some embarrassment: "It's been a few months of spellcasting training, and I just want to see the real war scene."
"No, you don't want to!" Mina, who was usually quiet, rarely showed an angry face, stared at Thales, and said, "If you want to go to the battlefield, then I will go too!"
"Oh, no, don't be like this, Mina, how could you pass by..." Thales looked embarrassed.
"Okay Thales, next time I have the opportunity to let you go to the front line, this time I will follow the order." Leiter waved his hand and said in an unquestionable tone. Now Thales is a second-level magician. If he is placed in the defense line of the canyon, he will not be able to provide much destiny value. Fortunately, the strength of the orc captives is generally higher in the defense line of the cold current, so he can continue to provide some help!
Tales looked at Mina's resolute eyes, and sighed helplessly, "Okay, Father!"
After the simple arrangements were over, the family began to have breakfast together. However, due to the upcoming battle, many people were heavy-hearted and didn't talk much. The atmosphere of this breakfast was somewhat deserted.
After breakfast, Riley went to Dark Eagle City to deal with urgent matters, and Leiter took Tucker to the training ground.
After telling Tadel and Coors about the situation of the cold current defense line, the expressions of the two were naturally extremely surprised. After thinking deeply, their eyes were full of incomparable dignity.
After a moment of silence, Tadel couldn't help asking: "My lord, how many people do you plan to bring this time?"
"How is the strength of the knights in the training ground now? Let me report first." Leiter said after thinking.
"No problem." Tadel nodded, and said, "At the training ground, there are thirty apprentice knights, forty first-level knights, and twenty-three second-level knights. As for the third-level knights, they are performing various patrols and Security mission."
"Then take all the second-level knights and first-level knights. In addition, among the knights patrolling the territory, nearly half of the second-level and third-level knights should be drawn." Leiter said decisively .
Cools was very surprised after listening to it from the sidelines, and said puzzledly: "My lord, but in this way, is the standing force of our territory somewhat insufficient?"
"No." Leiter waved his hand, pondered for a moment, and told the two of the strength of the white hat.
Because the white hat has not joined for a long time, Leiter did not reveal his strength to everyone before, and only a very few people knew about it.
But now, the two of them relaxed after hearing this, and their eyes were even more pleasantly surprised. They didn't expect that the lord also had a sixth-level magister under his command? This is definitely shocking news!
They were originally worried that the lord was gone, and the situation outside the kingdom was severe, and at critical junctures, troubles would occur in the territory. But if there is a sixth-level magister in charge, it will be very different. Even if the standing patrol force is slightly relaxed, there will be no trouble.
"This time... it's going to be harder, you two. You have had experience once, and you must be more adaptable this time." Leiter looked straight at the other party and said: "If it is still the canyon defense line, I can directly bring a group of newcomers, but The cold front is different, and I have to bring the old with the new."
The two looked at each other, and suddenly laughed, "Haha, what is the lord talking about, if it weren't for your help in the ice and snow back then, we would probably have died under the claws of the ice thorn bear, We deserve to follow you on your journey."
