The next , Roland entered the parlor andthere They all rose as Roland came in
”Please take a seat,” said Roland as he seated hi solemnly, ”You've probably all learnt about the reason for this un!”
”This isn't so you just throw onto the arovernmental body and every department director of the Ad of the war as well as the future political and military trend I require every one of you to work hard and fight this prolonged battle together!” The as in Roland's voice ”We've had reat achieve would last if we lose the Battle of Divine Will If we fail to take the Taquila ruins, the Red Mist will spread throughout the whole continent in no ti would be able to stop the demons Therefore, we must win We lose, we fail!”
”Yes, Your Majesty,” Barov and the others shouted in a chorus
”Very well” Roland then turned to Edith and said, ”Now the General Staff will talk about the detailed tactics and strategies”
”Yes, Your Majesty,” the Pearl of the Northern Region replied as she stood up She placed her hand on her chest gracefully and continued, ”I'll have to use the big map for my presentation”
She walked to Roland and tapped the ion on the wall behind her After numerous amendments and additions, the map portrayed more than half of the inhabited Barbarian Land, and Neverwinter had becoe of the map rather than in its center Anybody who looked at thea oals while drafting the map
He wanted his ministers and officials to understand the littleness of huoal instead of iht to the point ”First of all, we need you all to know that this upco battle will be different from any of the ones we've had in the past I want everybody to understand that this will be a prolonged war”

”That depends on how fierce the counterattack is,” Edith answered nonchalantly ”The General Staff has asked the Taquila witches to conduct several ht in the sa the Battle of North Slope and attack us once a week, ould be able to sla Cannons in their faces within three months”
”But they aren't stupid, and they certainly won't ain”
”Exactly I anticipate that the demons would soon realize what the railways are used for Perhaps, they would even detect the railways at the rear of Misty Forest But we are also taking precautions Since there are a lot of variables in a battle, I hope the Administrative Office will allocate the resources based on the worst possible scenario”
”And the worst scenario is?” asked Barov as he drew his brows together
”Fro all the way to winter, until the arrival of the Months of Demons,” said Edith flatly
”Then doesn't that rimaced ”This doesn'tas we don't retreat, the battle isn't over We are just deadlocked” The Pearl of the Northern Region smiled faintly ”The battle will continue after the snowall the directors from the Administrative Office look a bit apprehensive, Edith cohly unlikely, for we produce bullets way faster than the demons reproduce themselves This is just the worst scenario”
Barov said meditatively, ”In that case, I'll need to collect food froions of the country for a war reserve stock As Golden Twos are currently grown in all parts of the kingdom, I believe there will be a lot of excesses this year These excesses would sustain the First Army for a year”
