After I died, my personal maid rebelled.

Even after receiving guidance, Leia was still a bit confused. She realized that the most important thing in political work was statistical data.

As Leia pushed open the office door, she bumped right into Luna, who was bouncing around.

Luna leisurely sized her up, grinned, and said, "Alright, I knew it was you! How disloyal you are, stealing the prince away!"

Leia quickly retorted, "What stealing? Do you think it's that easy for me to get him out of here?"

Perhaps only Leia herself knows how difficult it was for her to maintain her inner kindness in such a chaotic environment.

Soldiers spread the news that the king had died suddenly, the queen fled in panic, and the concubine also fell in a pool of blood. She was unarmed and had to protect a crying child…

"What I mean is, you will become a legend, Rhea." Whether it was encouragement or something else, Luna placed her hand heavily on her shoulder and said earnestly.

"You have achieved an unprecedented feat by stealing the prince and successfully evacuating him. From now on, bards will sing your story, and Frank will call your name on every sleepless night."

Seeing through Luna's true nature at a glance, Leia sighed, "You're just happy because His Majesty Frank was humiliated, aren't you?"

Luna gave a thumbs-up, making no attempt to hide her praise for Leia's excellent performance. "You really understand me. Remember to report to my team."

"No, I am Lady Elene's assistant now, and I have a lot of work to do."

After a brief greeting, Leia hurriedly left. Luna, who wanted to follow her to see what she was doing, was caught red-handed by Oswald.

"It's time to tone it down, Luna. Your intelligence was timely, but we were still caught off guard."

After compiling intelligence from all sides, Oswald seemed to be gazing into an abyss, where surging undercurrents stirred up the sediment, eventually turning into a dark, murky mass.

When Rhea came to him with the child, Oswald realized that he had underestimated the extent of the damage the cursed incarnation had inflicted on the royal city.

The current situation in the capital is that Frank and Archbishop John are carrying out reconstruction work while plotting a new war against the Northern Territory.

Frank is a very rational person, while John is a fence-sitter on Oswald's side. Oswald is unaware of why the two suddenly changed their attitudes toward the Northern Territory.

The bigger problem is that, despite his arrogance, Oswald doesn't believe the kingdom can so easily deal with a cursed incarnation who wields multiple powers, including time, in the absence of the great sorcerer Medivh.

Moreover, Oswald simply didn't believe in the idea of ​​a superhuman man appearing out of nowhere.

Knocking on the office door, Oswald called to Elene, who was buried in a pile of documents. "Take a break, we have a meeting later."

Oswald, who had arranged the meeting room in advance, sat in the main seat, with Eleanor and Luna on his left and right sides respectively.

Luna was still polishing her spear, clearly trying to show off something, but Oswald didn't pay any attention.

Elena closed her eyes to rest, rubbing her temples. In the past, Reid and the old count could help her with some work, but now that the two had been sent away, the operation of the Duke's mansion had come to a standstill.

Once the development plan for livestock farming in the Northern Territory is successfully completed, perhaps it will be time for Jacob and Luna to take on more responsibilities.

Shortly after the maids brought in hot tea, Paul, Red, and the others entered the conference room and took their seats in silence.

On the left are Eleanor, Red, and Janice; on the right are Luna, Kate, Paul, and Lisa.

Kate was excited to attend a high-level meeting for the first time. He was lucky because previous high-level meetings were often shrouded in a suffocating sense of oppression.

Many of them did not live to see the next meeting.

"You all know the situation. It's almost February now, and after winter, the Central District will soon launch an attack on our Northern Territory."

Oswald calmly stood up, gestured for Luna to distribute the documents, and Kate panicked when she saw everyone suddenly pulling out their notebooks. She quickly looked to Luna for help.

Nobody told him this, why didn't the young lady remind him...?

Seeing Luna calmly raise a finger, Kate understood but was also bewildered, and could only grit her teeth and nod. Luna smiled smugly and handed Kate her notebook and pen.

After distributing the documents, Luna had her own way of protecting herself. She picked up a stool and quietly moved closer to her brother's position, putting on a well-behaved act.

Oswald casually placed his hand on her head and continued his story.

"Although Green Gorge City is a fortified city, its defenses and other deployments are not as systematic as those of Starfall City. Conservatively speaking, the Central Army has about 50,000 to 100,000 troops, while our forces can only reach a maximum of 35,000."

If the Central Army does not gather more than 50,000 troops, it will not pose a threat to the Northern Territory.

Similarly, after repeated calculations by Oswald and Elene, the Central District, which had been repeatedly weakened, could not muster an army of more than 100,000 to conquer the Northern Territory.

Unless the Central Army can immediately end its standoff with the Southern Territory and turn north.

"Our Southwest Earldom is well-developed and capable of dealing with the Western Earldom, which is still struggling. We should also try to win over the Duke of Dale in the Eastern Earldom, that romantic... In short, we must prevent other forces from diverting our troops and concentrate on fighting the Central Army."

Everyone under her command, except Luna, was writing incessantly. Kate casually flipped to a page and discovered Luna's dense notes about the previous meeting, as well as a list of deceased attendees...

Politics is indeed highly dangerous.

"Once the war begins, our future operational strategy in the Northern Territory will have to be changed to defend against the invasion of the northern demon race and accumulate strength to move south."

"The coming period will be very difficult, and I hope everyone is mentally prepared."

After a brief silence, the gazes of the crowd toward Oswald grew even more resolute. The Duke had led them to transform the Northern Territory into a beautiful homeland, and they had to protect every inch of this land.

Oswald felt a pang of sadness; wars always begin in the dark, and death always favors the most loyal souls.

"I hereby make the following military deployment: First, this major battle will be led by Kate's Second Division. The Second Division will set off three days later to take over the defense of Green Canyon City, awaiting reinforcements."

"Second, Red led the Knights to garrison Ironlake City, both as a reserve force and to command the two militia regiments to do logistical work and strengthen the defensive depth."

"Third, Paul's paladin troops will be under the unified command of Luna, and Luna's personal guards will be able to move freely to provide battlefield support and launch counterattacks when necessary."

"Fourth, all military facilities in the rear, such as military hospitals, arsenals, granaries, etc., including the transportation and control of supplies, will be under the sole responsibility of Jenny."

Jenny? Let the saint manage military logistics?

Kate quickly suppressed his shock to avoid being impolite, but Luna still caught his momentary serious expression.

Luna secretly kicked him and glared at Kate with a warning look.

Everyone present was shrewd and perceptive; how could they not have noticed his unusual behavior?

Besides, while Kate was still training at the camp in Kukul, Jenny followed her brother in the most dangerous battles, repeatedly stepping forward to command the troops and turn the tide of battle.

It could be said that, compared to Elena, Jenny Shicai was more suited to be her brother's best partner on the battlefield.

If it weren't for the critical situation, Kate's rank would be far from meeting the requirement of Saint Jane managing his logistics.

Oswald gently stroked Luna's head and adjourned the meeting.

"You can discuss the specific arrangements yourselves. Starting tomorrow, I will go to Kuogu City to oversee the situation and guard against the demon invasion. All affairs of the Duke's mansion will be handled by Elene."
