Crowe's heart was filled with thousands of thoughts, but he said calmly:

"Let's not mention her for now. Let's get back to this war. Should we ask for assistance from other forces?"

Morgan shook his head and said: "Which force do you think will help us? There is a gap between Poseidon Temple and us. The saint candidate in Firefly Town wants Ryan to occupy Guanhai City."

"The nobles have always been unanimous in dealing with the outside world. Even if there are nobles who want to suppress Ryan, they will not openly support us, otherwise they will cause dissatisfaction with other nobles."

"We can't ask for help from the Shadow Church, right? Not to mention their elusiveness, it's hard to find their traces."

"Even if I do find them, I don't want to lure wolves into the house. The people of the Shadow Church are a bunch of lunatics!"

"They can do anything. They might hold a sacrificial ceremony in Guanhai City, and then you and I will be the sinners of Guanhai City!"

Crowe said solemnly: "Don't worry, I don't want to get involved with those Ladas in the shadows."

"I just want to ask Marquis Cross for help. The Lion King probably doesn't want to see Guanhai City fall into Ryan's hands."

Morgan frowned and said, "Is this necessary? We still don't know Ryan's attitude towards marriage."

"If Ryan agrees to the marriage, not only will Marquis Cross not support us, he may also ask the Flame Lion Knights in the envoy group to help Ryan."

Crowe smiled and said: "Old guy, it seems that this sudden war has had a big impact on you, and even your brain is rusty."

"Even if Ryan agrees to the marriage, Marquis Cross's fear of Ryan will not diminish at all."

"A powerful son-in-law with a foreign surname is not a good thing for Marquis Cross and the entire Flame Lion family."

"After all, no matter how powerful Ryan is, he still doesn't have the blood of the Flame Lion family."

"I think Ryan just wants to understand this, so he is eager to launch a war against our Guanhai City."

"He wants to seize Guanhai City and completely stabilize his rear before Marquis Cross suppresses him."

Just like Crowe said, Morgan was just affected by the war and didn't react for a while.

After Crowe's reminder, he also thought clearly about the cause and effect.

"You are right. Marquis Cross will not let Ryan develop and rise. There is a high probability that he will help us secretly."

"I will write to him to ask for help and show our sincerity as much as possible in the letter."

"What do you think of the natural disaster cubs? I heard that the Flame Lion family is vigorously cultivating natural disaster beasts."

Crowe said nonchalantly: "You can read and write. In fact, I don't have any hope for their support. I am just making a last attempt."

Morgan heard this and stared at Crowe and said: "What is the last attempt? Don't you believe we can win this war?"

"As businessmen, we always have to prepare for the worst." Crowe responded with a normal expression.

Morgan continued to look directly at Crowe, his eyes cold and sharp, making people feel an invisible sense of oppression.

"Crow, I know what you are thinking, and I don't care about the little tricks you make."

"But I want to remind you, don't touch my bottom line, otherwise even if we lose this war, I will take your family and bury it with the Chamber of Commerce."

Facing Morgan's gaze, Crowe's eyes did not dodge, but stared at Morgan and said:

"Let me say it again, the Chamber of Commerce also has my hard work, and I will not give up easily. You can rest assured on this."

"It's best!" Morgan snorted and ended the topic.

The conversation between the two was so low that the team leader and the worshipers did not hear clearly and did not dare to disturb them.

Until Crowe waved to them and said: "Okay, the defense of the city will be left to the escort team."

"Captain Mello, I hope you can avenge your shame, defeat Ryan's army, and drive the enemy out of Guanhai City."

"Yes!" Mero leaned over and accepted the order.

"As for Captain Will, let him serve his crime and serve his duty and send him to the front line of the defense area."

Crowe turned to look at Will, who was full of surprise, and said:

"Since the city gate was lost in your hands, it's up to you to take it back yourself!"

"Yes! I will not let you down this time!" Will promised loudly.

Crowe nodded slightly and then said to Mello:

"Except for Junsha and Telt, who have to stay at the headquarters to prevent Ryan from sending surprise troops to raid, you can call on all other sacrifices."

"Coupled with the five captains of the escort team, President Morgan and I will hand over almost all the combat power of the Chamber of Commerce to you."

"We have only one request for you, and that is to block the enemy in Nancheng District and prevent them from crossing over."

"Boom!"

Before Crowe could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a rapid knock on the door.

He said with an unhappy expression: "What's the matter? Didn't I say that you are not allowed to interrupt during the meeting, only in emergencies?"

Speaking of this, Crowe's expression suddenly dropped and he said angrily:

"Damn it, I'm not going to hear bad news again, why don't you hurry up and get in!"

"yes!"

A guard hurriedly opened the door and carefully reported the situation.

"Telling the two presidents, news came from the escort team in Nancheng District. They are about to be unable to stop the enemy's attack. Please ask the headquarters to send people for support."

Perhaps he was angry too many times today, but after hearing the news, Crowe didn't feel much anger in his heart.

However, those who deserved to be scolded still had to be scolded. He said with a cold face:

"Oh, do they still have the nerve to ask for support?"

"How long has it been since the city gate was lost? These losers will no longer be able to defend the south city area. Will's grandma can last longer than them on the battlefield!"

Will was stunned for a moment when he heard this. How could there be anything about his grandmother?

"Okay, it's useless to scold them. Why don't you ask them why they can't stop the enemy's attack? Did the enemy use the hazelnut ball tactic again?" Morgan asked the guard.

The guard replied: "They did not mention the Hazelnut Ball, but they repeatedly emphasized that the enemy was like a madman and was not afraid of death, and that there was no method in the battle, which made them tired of dealing with it."

Crowe laughed mockingly when he heard this: "He is also a lunatic who is not afraid of death. Is it possible that all the enemies are dead soldiers?"

"Excuses! They are all excuses! I think they are too afraid of death!"

"How do you usually train them? How did you bring out a bunch of trash!"

Faced with Crow's accusations, Mello turned his attention to Connor and others, trying to shift the responsibility to the squad leaders below.

The squad leaders had different expressions, some bowed their heads and remained silent, some stayed aloof, and some looked directly into Mello's eyes with a clear conscience.

Morgan had a panoramic view of everyone's performance. He shook his head helplessly and said:

"Why are you still standing here? The defense line in Nancheng District is in critical condition. Why don't you hurry up and bring people to support!"

"As you command!"

Captain Melo accepted the order as if he had been granted amnesty, and then got up and left with the squad leaders.

After Mello and others left, Crowe said in an indifferent tone:

"I didn't expect that the escort team has decayed to this extent. How many years have passed!"

Morgan sighed: "Time is actually not important. The main reason for their depravity is the comfortable environment and the atmosphere of pursuing profits."

"If you think about it carefully, we made a mistake when we first established the framework of the Guard. We should not have brought the businessman's style to the Guard, and we should not have chosen a captain who only knows how to safeguard the interests of all parties."

"It's a pity that we have never discovered this problem, which makes it difficult for the escort team to recover and change."

"Even if we re-elect a commander-in-chief who favors reform, the situation of the Guards will not improve in a short time."

"Not to mention that the enemy will not leave us time to reform. That Viscount Lane really knows how to seize the opportunity."

"However, the invasion of external forces is not a bad thing. As long as we can block Ryan's attack, he will help us remove all the carrion of the escort team, and then the reform will be easier."

"If we can win this war, I hope you will stop hindering Connor's advancement. Only he can bring changes to the Guardians."

Crowe said noncommittally: "Connor is good, but the prerequisite is to win this war."

"Why are you so pessimistic about this war? That's not like you!" Morgan asked in confusion.

Crowe glanced at him: "Nonsense, in just one afternoon, not only the city gate was lost, but also the Nancheng District was about to be lost. How can you make me optimistic!"

"I really want to see the front line to see how this battle ended like this!"

After that, Crowe stood up and left, leaving Morgan sitting on the chair and muttering to himself:

"To be honest, I'm also curious."

——

Connor was also curious about the battlefield. He also couldn't understand why Nancheng District was about to fall so soon.

Even though the combat effectiveness of the escort is not high, it's not like they can't withstand it for even an hour or two, right?

Connor, who was eager to know the answer, took the initiative to apply for support in Nancheng District, but was rejected by Mello.

According to Mello, Connor has more important tasks to do.

He was going to the central business district to slow down the evacuation of civilians.

This task was of great importance, and Mello was worried if it was left to another squad leader. Only Connor, the strongest squad leader, could scare the civilians and make them stay in the business district.

What? Why doesn't Mero go?

He is the captain of the escort team, so of course he has to coordinate the overall situation!

Connor naturally knew that Mello was trying to hinder him, trying to use this method to damage his reputation among civilians.

But there was nothing he could do. Who made Mello the captain? He had to obey orders.

After Connor accepted the task, he took a deep look at Mello and then walked out of the headquarters.

Just as Connor stepped out of the headquarters door, a voice came from behind him.

"Boss Connor, wait for me!"

Without even thinking, Connor knew that Halson was chasing him.

He said without looking back: "Where is your defense zone? Is it still the port?"

Halson took a breath and replied: "No, that bastard Merlot said that Viscount Lane will not attack from the sea and only needs to leave a few guards at the port."

Connor frowned when he heard this: "How does he know that Viscount Lane will not attack from the sea? Where did he get the new information?"

"Bullshit information, he is just betting that Viscount Lane will not transport the knights to sea in advance, and mobilizing sea ships is to intimidate us." Halson said disdainfully.

Connor nodded slightly: "Well, it's not impossible. Viscount Lane has only gone to sea once and is not very familiar with the situation at sea. The probability of launching an attack from the sea is indeed low."

Halson said unhappily: "Boss Connor, why are you still speaking for that bastard!"

"I didn't speak for him, I was just discussing the matter. And he is our captain, so don't act like an asshole." Connor said sternly.

Harson spat: "He is just a bastard. Otherwise, why would he send you to prevent civilians from evacuating? Isn't it because he is afraid that you will threaten his position as captain!"

Connor said in surprise: "Have you even noticed it?"

Harsen was speechless: "What are you talking about? I'm still very smart. I'm just too lazy to use my brain."

"Besides, Mello just pointed at your nose and said he was going to target you, so you can only bear it. If it were me."

"What are you going to do? Send Warcraft to fight with Mero? Let the guards know that there is a conflict between the captain and the squad leader, and further undermine their morale and fighting spirit?" Connor said expressionlessly.

"Uh" Halson was suddenly speechless and scratched his head.

Connor continued: "We are facing a powerful enemy. We can no longer fight within ourselves. We must act unanimously against the outside world."

"I can't control what Mello does. Anyway, I won't coax him. Even if he wants to fight back, he has to wait until this war is over."

Halson said angrily: "Then we can only be plotted by Mero in vain?"

"He can make plans if he wants. As long as the two presidents trust me, that's enough." Connor turned to look in the direction of the headquarters.

Halson's eyes lit up: "You are right, how could his little tricks escape the eyes of the two presidents!"

"The two presidents must really hate his behavior of not forgetting internal strife during the war. When the war is over, Mello will be in trouble!"

"Boss Connor, you are still better, that bastard Mello."

Halfway through his words, Halson suddenly noticed that Connor was not in a high mood and had a little confusion on his face.

He asked in a low voice: "Boss Connor, are you worried about your reputation being damaged?"

Connor shook his head: "As long as the two presidents are willing, they can control a person's reputation in Guanhai City at will. I'm not worried about this issue."

"I'm just wondering, is what we did really right? The original intention of establishing the Guard was to protect Guanhai City, but what did we protect?"

"The enemy still broke into Guanhai City, but we still have to use the lives of civilians to protect our own safety!"

"If the enemy really gives up the hazelnut ball tactic because they don't want to harm civilians, then they will be more like the guardians of Guanhai City!"

"Even if we win this war, how will the Guards face these civilians in the future?"

"Just like Junsha said, we will regret today's decision sooner or later!"

Obviously, Connor was very dissatisfied with the decision of the two presidents, but he did not want to disobey the two presidents' orders, so he was entangled in his heart.

When Halson saw this, his mind suddenly recalled the joke they had said.

He couldn't help but swallow, and lowered his voice and said:

"Boss Connor, you don't really want Guanhai City to change its owner, do you?" (End of Chapter)
