Since the team was carrying heavy loads this time, Krober and his group traveled much slower than when they were heading to Luoyan City.
However, this also gave everyone in Saint Gold Castle enough time to prepare.
After learning the news, the people of Saint Gold Castle immediately took action.
They cleared the streets, imposed a curfew, and deployed a large number of soldiers to strengthen security patrols in Fort Saint-Germain.
These measures can not only ensure the security and stability within Fort Saint-Germain, but also prevent spies from other countries from arbitrarily obtaining national intelligence, thereby protecting national secrets from being leaked.
When Krober and his group arrived at St. Gold Castle, it was exactly midnight, which was the best time to do bad things secretly.
But what Kroeber did was not a bad thing, but a good thing that benefited the country and the people.
Krober quickly stored the things he "picked up" from the Blue Flame Grass Family in the warehouse.
He immediately summoned the logistics director and the finance director and sternly instructed them to properly handle the follow-up matters.
He detailed the origin and importance of the items and directed them to take necessary steps to ensure their safekeeping and proper distribution.
Just as Kroeber was concentrating on discussing the specific details of supplies with the two supervisors, a sudden and urgent knock on the door broke the silence in the office.
Immediately afterwards, the intelligence chief walked in quickly, holding two letters with a nervous look on his face.
Krober couldn't help but frown, looking at the intelligence chief with a puzzled expression.
He knew that since Grand Duke Veronica had loaned almost all of the country's spies to the Emerald Kingdom, the intelligence chief had become a messenger-like figure.
He is now mainly responsible for receiving some important letters, and looking at his appearance, you can tell that the letter received this time may bring important news or emergencies.
"What's the matter? Such a hurry?"
Kroeber asked curiously.
The intelligence director panted and said anxiously:
"Prime Minister, this is an emergency! Jade Valley has just delivered these two letters to us, and they appear to contain important information."
Krober took the envelope and carefully observed the logo on the cover. It was still the familiar golden dragon head logo.
But the surface of the letter is wrinkled, and I don’t know if there was a problem during transportation.
The second letter was decorated with a purple rose, indicating that it was a private letter from Grand Duchess Veronica to Krober.
Looking at the crumpled letter, for some reason, Krober felt an ominous premonition in his heart.
He carefully tore open the envelope, took out the letter and unfolded it to read.
As the contents of the letter gradually came into view, his expression became more and more solemn.
"What's wrong?"
"What's going on?"
Seeing Krober's expression, everyone came forward curiously, waiting for Krober to explain to them the contents of the letter.
But Krober said nothing at this time, but silently handed the letter to the person next to him.
When the others received the letter, they also showed surprised expressions.
"The Emerald Kingdom was defeated?!"
This news was not good for everyone, especially after their Grand Duke had officially declared war on the Mountain Copper Kingdom.
They looked at each other, shock and worry on their faces.
"how so……"
The logistics manager muttered to himself, finding it hard to accept this fact.
Everyone fell silent, and everyone's mood became gloomy.
Now that the Emerald Kingdom has been defeated, the Mountain Copper Kingdom’s next target will definitely be the Golden Duchy.
"Perhaps we should reassess the situation..."
After hearing this, everyone present looked solemn, and for a moment the entire conference room was filled with a tense atmosphere.
They all understood what this meant and the price they would have to pay for making this choice.
Everyone was silent, thinking about the current situation in their hearts.
They realized that they needed to re-examine the direction of the war and the response strategy, but at the same time they also felt an unprecedented pressure.
At this time, Krober broke the silence:
"Everyone, go back and rest, it's getting late.
Come back to the office tomorrow morning and we'll discuss our next plan in detail, and also consider how to deal with this difficult situation."
Krober knew these people's thoughts very well, so he decided to appease them first and ensure the internal stability of the Golden Duchy.
After all, stability in the rear is crucial to combat at the front.
He looked around with sharp eyes, as if warning everyone not to act rashly.
Everyone was terrified and didn't dare to look him in the eye, for fear of angering the Prime Minister. After all, the new official had only been in office for a few days when he burned down the Blue Flame Grass Family's castle.
They don't want to offend such a ruthless person at all costs.
Kroeber nodded with satisfaction and said in a serious tone:
“I will arrange for the knights of the Dragon Breath Knights to strengthen patrols tonight, and none of you are allowed to leave your residence.
Anyone who attempts to escape or makes any other unnecessary moves will be charged with treason!"
Kroeber had to ensure that everyone was loyal to the country and not have ulterior motives.
Although it is unclear whether these people truly support Veronica, at least he himself knows that he and Veronica are on the same front.
Since they are on a united front, everything he does is naturally for the Golden Duchy.
Veronica's letter did not order Krober and others to rush to the aid of the Emerald Kingdom, but continued to focus on "recruiting soldiers and defending the country."
Krober frowned, sent the supervisors back to their respective rooms, and then took out the private letter Veronica wrote to him and began to read it.
"Dear Kroeber,
The three fortresses in the northwest of the Emerald Kingdom have been breached by the Orichalcum Kingdom. Fortunately, the three dragon knights survived, so the battle can still be dragged on for a long time."
Krober naturally knew the situation in the three northwestern border areas.
"Currently, the Emerald Kingdom is not peaceful. Many nobles are dissatisfied with the rule of my brother, Alvis, Emerald Light.
It was only after I received his secret letter that I decided to return to Cuiyu Valley to help him defend the capital.
What has been confirmed so far is that Edwin Bronze Fury and Liam Gray Iron show signs of betraying the kingdom.
I hope you can stabilize the situation in the Golden Duchy and guard against the enemies of Duke Edwin.
Finally, if you are really defeated, you can go to the Great Moi Forest in the west, where I have prepared a gift for you, which can help you escape from the Golden Duchy.
Love you - Veronica Chijin."
