Lord: Taken away from inheritance at the beginning.

As Crown Prince Garret's order was conveyed to the various nobles, they, like Ronin, chose to march the next day.

Along the roads leading to the Misty City from various camps, a team of over 100,000 people had stationed themselves one kilometer away from the city wall before noon.

Ronin's warhorse stood on the hill, looking at the coalition of nobles from the Kingdom of Alduin. It was the first time he had seen such a large-scale army.

Looking at the city of Misty City, now the gates are closed and the drawbridge is raised, as if it is ready to hold its ground.

Just looking at the top of the enemy's city wall, there doesn't seem to be many troops, and I don't know how prepared they are?

Odoro came to report: "Sir, someone from the Crown Prince's side came to inform you that he wants you to go to the big tent to discuss the siege plan with other nobles."

Luo Ning nodded slightly, squeezed his legs lightly on the horse's belly, and walked towards the crown prince's tent.

The atmosphere in the big tent was very lively. They were not discussing how to fight the afternoon's battle, but were bragging about how they killed the enemies on the battlefield yesterday.

Viscount Willis of Heiyu Bay took a sip of wine as he spoke. His face turned red and he spoke louder and louder.

As Roning entered the big tent, the lively atmosphere paused for a moment.

"Hahaha, this is Marquis Luo Ning of Moonlight Valley, right?"

Willis stood up and walked to Luo Ning's side, looking him up and down, and said with a smile: "Not bad, he looks a bit like Lu Lansi, but he is much better than that old guy!"

Luo Ning chuckled and greeted the other party politely, "Viscount Willis seems to be quite familiar with my grandfather?"

The black jade that is abundant in Heiyu Bay is one of the materials for making extraordinary weapons. He will definitely do business with the other party in the future, and it would be nice to get to know each other now.

Willis gulped down a mouthful of wine. "Back then, your grandfather was full of vigor and power! It's a pity that I only met him a few times at banquets and never went to the battlefield together. Why didn't he come this time?"

Luo Ning shook his head.

Misty City is the old man's sad place. This time, Wushan has Melonica, and Ronin has Redal and others, so he did not come.

After thirty years of torture, Lu Lans has long lost his former vigor and now prefers to enjoy a comfortable old age.

"Luo Ning, sit here."

Gu Shan also stood up to invite him. The seat was located on the right side of the main seat and seemed to be reserved specially for military advisers.

"I heard that the casualties at West Wind Hill yesterday were extremely low. Come, tell us what happened in detail."

The leader of the Griffin Knights, Count Shuangfengling, also nodded to Ronin.

"I've heard of your fame for a long time, but I've never had the chance to meet you. After the battle in Misty City, if you have the chance, you must give me some pointers."

"Count Iben is too modest!"

Luo Ning sat down. "As for fame, I have heard of your fame since I was a child and have admired you for a long time."

Although this statement is somewhat polite, it is not made up out of thin air.

In addition to the famous Crown Prince Garet of the Kingdom of Alduin, the leader of the Griffin Knights is also very famous.

As the four of them started chatting, the atmosphere in the big tent gradually returned to normal.

Roning also knew about the battle situation on the basic battlefield yesterday.

The ones who suffered the most losses were Garrett and Gushan.

Although the outpost camp in Misty City did not increase its troops, the number of troops stationed there all year round was not comparable to that of Nethergarde, and heavy casualties were to be expected.

There were a large number of soldiers stationed there, and there were also many prisoners captured after the war.

It is worth mentioning that in order to reduce the pressure of placing prisoners of war, Garrett ordered the execution of thousands of people, including soldiers of civilian origin and honorary knights of the aristocracy.

Such an action made all the nobles present feel a little uncomfortable. After all, nobles enjoyed certain immunities, and they could make a profit by staying and letting the other family come up with enough money or materials to redeem them.

What’s more, more importantly, all the people in the big tent are nobles, and they all enjoy immunity.

Garrett's behavior will undoubtedly have an impact on their rights and interests.

After all, who can guarantee that they will not be defeated one day?

What if they are caught and the other party imitates Garrett's approach and kills people directly, who can they turn to for justice?

However, now that the attack on Misty City is imminent, no one wants to dwell on this issue.

In Ronin's opinion, the issue of prisoners is indeed a problem.

After all, this is the extraordinary world.

Those prisoners with low strength can be restrained by tying them up with hemp ropes and iron chains, but those at the gold and meteor levels need to be equipped with professional detention tools.

Fortunately, the number of knights of these two levels is limited, and these problems can be solved by purchasing chains and locks made by Heiyu from Heiyu Bay.

But once the number of prisoners is too large, the number of personnel required to guard them will also increase accordingly.

If we encounter a critical moment of forced march, we have to leave a group of people to guard the prisoners, which is indeed not an easy task to handle.

In order to solve this problem, there would be organizations specializing in the slave trade in the rear of every war.

Most of the captives could be handed over to them for transportation and conversion into slaves.

Ronin had neither the Black Jade Chain nor anyone from the slave camp following his team. If Placido had not surrendered voluntarily, he really wouldn't have known how to deal with the prisoners in Netherforge.

Thinking of this, he went to Willis and prepared to buy a few sets of professional black jade chains.

Willis squinted his eyes and looked smiling. Look, business is coming to him.

With the Black Jade Chain, you will be able to get Black Jade Ore, Black Jade Weapons, and Black Jade Shields in the future.

He now has one more business partner in the Heiyu family.

"Everyone is here!"

Garrett walked into the tent with confident steps. His eyes fell on Roning and he nodded in a somewhat abnormal way.

"Very good, Ronin is here too. We will probably win this afternoon's battle easily."

Everyone secretly guessed that Bruno must have put pressure on Garrett, which caused him to change his attitude towards Roning.

Luo Ning didn't say much, just nodded symbolically in response to save face for both parties.

Garrett strode to the main seat, sat down, and got straight to the point.

"For more than thirty years, Misty City has always been a stain on the major families present here. Today is the time to wash away this shame!"

He said loudly: "I won't waste my words. Misty City has four gates. Except for the South Gate, the East, West and North Gates all have roads leading to our side. So, I plan to divide the coalition forces into three directions and attack at the same time! And the South Gate..."

Having said that, he looked at Roning.

"Ronin, you just need to bring your dragon to attack the South Gate."

Luo Ning frowned slightly. "All four gates broken at the same time, it does sound quite shocking."

He hesitated for a moment, then said, "Your Highness, I agree with you that we should attack the east, west, and north gates at the same time, but I don't think it's necessary to attack the south gate."

"Oh?"

A hint of displeasure flashed across Garrett's face, but he did not question Ronin as he did before. Instead, he asked, "Why?"

"Even if I ride my dragon to break through the south gate, what's the use? Our army can't go around to the south to enter the city. So I suggest that we choose a main attack direction, concentrate our forces, and deal a fatal blow to the enemy!"

Ronin's words were clear and firm. He looked around at the noble generals present and continued:

"We are not familiar with the terrain of Misty City. The city walls are strong. If we disperse our forces, the enemy will take advantage of the opportunity and defeat us one by one."

"As for the South Gate, as I just said, it does not constitute a real strategic advantage. Unless we can quickly and effectively guide the follow-up troops to the South Gate, otherwise, it will just be a meaningless display of force."

Luo Ning continued: "I propose that we take advantage of the dragon's high flexibility and air superiority to launch a devastating blow to the enemy's weak points at a critical moment, creating favorable conditions for the coalition forces' breakthrough."

After hearing what Roning said, the nobles and generals present nodded secretly.

Viscount Willis's eyes flashed with admiration. "Marquis Ronin's insights are quite unique. Indeed, if we can maximize the effectiveness of the dragon, our chances of winning this battle will be greatly increased."

Earl Gushan also pondered for a moment and said, "I agree with Luo Ning's opinion. Fighting by dividing the troops is quite risky. We should concentrate our superior forces and attack in one direction."

He didn't know if it was to save Garrett's face, so he said:

"Your Highness the Crown Prince's proposal does make sense. Perhaps we can deploy some troops at the East Gate and the West Gate to disperse the enemy's main force. After all, the army of Misty City is not as large as ours."

Count Iben also agreed: "This is a good idea. If the north gate is unusually difficult to attack or there is an emergency, Ronin can use the flexibility of the dragon to directly turn to these two sides as a breakthrough point, enter the city, and then attack the north gate from the inside."

He added: "Although there are dragon eagle troops in the Mist City, my griffon knights will cooperate with you."

The dragon eagle, which is said to have a trace of dragon blood, is the signature flying beast of the Kingdom of Tricia and has the same status as the griffin of the Alduin family.

As a border earl, it is normal for Ural to have a team of dragon eagles.

But without the support of the kingdom, how many dragon eagles can Ural have?

Garrett looked at everyone talking at the same time. Although he was a little angry, he did not jump out to object.

According to his idea, attacking four gates at the same time would cause confusion to the enemy and interfere with the deployment of troops in the Misty City, thus making their attack more advantageous.

At the same time, letting Roning attack the South Gate is equivalent to transferring him away from the main battlefield, preventing more people from seeing the opponent's style and the shock of the dragon, which will weaken Roning's presence and military exploits to a certain extent.

But now it seems that other people don’t seem to have this idea.

"Then follow Gu Shan and Ibn's advice and attack from the north gate as the main direction, with the two wings as assists."

Garrett took over the topic: "Now, let's talk about the deployment of troops in three directions."
