At least what he said was telling others that he didn't have any good ideas at the moment and wanted to ask for help from others.
But all the generals present were silent, they could not think of any solution at all. Every person in the Nord Kingdom outside was strong and powerful.
Moreover, their morale is high. They have just conquered Paraven and captured King Harlaus, the ruler of the Kingdom of Swadia, alive. How many people in the entire Kingdom of Swadia can defeat the Nordic Kingdom outside?
Perhaps surrender is a solution, but no general present dared or could say this.
After seeing that his generals were silent, he shook his head and pointed at his men to leave the meeting room. After receiving the order, his men also left one after another, with only one staying person.
"Willis, what are you doing here? Why don't you leave? Do you have any good idea to repel the enemy outside?" The person who stayed behind was none other than Hosbens' good friend, Willis.
Willis didn't say much, just put his hands on the table, with a helpless look on his face.
"Hosbens, we are old friends, so I will speak directly to you. Now the Nord Kingdom is at the gates of our city. If we put up a stubborn resistance, all of the remaining people will die.
Rather than waiting to die, it is better to surrender while there is still a glimmer of hope." Willis said this, which shocked Hosbens.
"How can you say such a thing? Leave now and think carefully about why you said such a thing."
Hosbens was so angry that he was speechless. The expression on his face was like an erupting volcano. Countless anger gushed out of his face and shone directly on Willis in front of him.
When Willis saw the surging anger of Hospens, it seemed that she had foreseen it. There was no ripple on her face. She just bowed to Hospens and quickly left.
He walked as steadily and slowly as before, as if saying such a sentence would not cause his heart to be condemned in the slightest.
"This damn guy." Hosbens continued to mutter to himself, his anger not diminishing in the slightest.
"This guy actually wants to surrender. Why don't I kill him first while he's about to surrender, and use it to intimidate those who want to surrender."
Hosbens received it while muttering to himself, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, it was not like he was treating his former good friend at all.
The entire conversation between the two of them was heard by someone outside.
"Hehe, it seems I have thought of a good idea. I wonder how King Ragnar will reward me."
The man outside was none other than Ford, who was sent to Suno by King Ragnar. Ford was not in the meeting room at this time, but he had the job of serving tea and water.
So he hid near the door behind the conference room and could easily hear the conversation in the conference room. So he heard Willis say surrender.
He already had a certain plan, which was to reach a consensus with the surrenderists like Willis, reveal his true identity to Willis, and guide Willis to launch a rebellion within the city of Suno.
No matter who wins the final victory in this rebellion, the strength of the defenders of Su Luo city will be greatly reduced, and then it will be easier to break through Sunuo.
When Ford thought of this, a smile appeared on his lips. Victory was just around the corner. Ford's role was to speed up the progress of the extraordinary war. As a catalyst, it would end the war faster and steadily move the scales of victory towards the Kingdom of Nord.
After returning to his room, Heynis sat at his table in silence. Looking at his expression, anyone would think that he was upset about what had happened before.
Now is not the time to make a final decision. Ford is also a spy with a brain. If Willis proposed the resolution of surrender in the meeting room.
If this was just a plan he came up with out of necessity, then after he returned to his room and cleared his mind, he would make the right choice and put the decision of surrender behind him.
Yes, Ford will observe Willis carefully in the near future. If his reaction satisfies Ford's inference, Ford will tell him his true identity.
Let Willis act as his own insider to disrupt the morale of the army in the city of Suno. In this way, he can not only quickly accomplish the task assigned to him by King Ragnar.
You can also persuade an enemy soldier to become your soldier. If King Ragnar saw all this, he would definitely reward you well.
After Ford returned to his residence, he told his companions about the incident. He whispered to his companions through some explicit or implicit means that in this city, Willis wanted to rebel, but she chose to surrender.
Let his companions observe General Willis carefully in the near future. As one of the few generals in Suno City, Willis would go to the barracks every day to inspect the soldiers.
This is an extraordinary period, and everything Willis does is to improve the combat quality of the soldiers in the barracks. Therefore, no general dares to slack off.
The captains all lead their soldiers in formation, and the more senior commanders will make these soldiers practice using their various weapons.
The archers will line up and shoot at the targets in front of them one by one. They are neatly and orderly arranged. The swordsmen and shieldmen pick up their weapons and practice with each other. They use real swords and guns to practice.
Of course, there is a limit to how much they can do. Although using real swords and guns will inevitably cause some damage, this is also the best way to hone their courage and will.
On a morning like usual, Willis was inspecting the soldiers in the barracks. According to the rules of the barracks, when Willis came to inspect the barracks, they did not have to salute him.
All they had to do was to do their job well. They took every opportunity to train themselves, and they were preparing for battle every day to resist the invasion of the Nord Kingdom's army.
Although there was a food shortage in the city, their training never stopped for a moment, so that they could break out and take back everything that belongs to them one day in the future.
Ford was the first to observe Willis. Although she was a boy who served tea and water, this was just her side job. At this moment, she still had to participate in the battle with ordinary soldiers.
If it were in the former Kingdom of Swadia, boys like these who served tea and water would have to spend less time training than ordinary soldiers.
But now is an extraordinary period, all occupations and people of all types and temperaments must be treated specially.
Willis's expression was the same as usual. Ford could clearly observe the changes in their facial expressions. Under the sunlight, his fair face did not show any ripples at all.
It was as quiet as usual. It seemed that in order to maintain his dignity in front of his soldiers, all the generals were not allowed to smile at all.
Not all generals are like Willis. Some are kind and merciful, and lead your soldiers with their kindness, while others are harsh and cruel, and lead their soldiers with harshness.
Every general has his own way of leading his soldiers. As for what kind of person will lead the soldiers and carry out combat missions, it depends on the person. Therefore, the monarch who selects generals to participate in the war must know how to use people well.
Ford whispered to himself in his heart that it seemed that he could not observe his general at this moment. This guy Willis would never show anything unusual in front of his soldiers.
A general is the soul of an army. If there is anything abnormal about the general, don't expect the soldiers under his command to have any combat effectiveness.
Ford decided to find an opportunity to approach Willis quietly. Perhaps if Willis really wanted to surrender, he had to gather a strong enough force.
Only after defeating the commander-in-chief Hosbens and seizing absolute power over the most cities in Shuno will they open the city and surrender.
This was a decision that any general who was willing to surrender would make at this time, and Ford also made his inference based on this common sense. As for what Willis was thinking, Ford had not yet made an accurate judgment.
At the same time, several of Ford's companions looked quietly at Willis, who had a keen sense.
He could tell who was training seriously and who was looking around. He soon discovered that several soldiers, including Ford, were looking around at him.
And Walls was obviously not interested in feeding this guy Nice, so he didn't look at Willis, but quietly did his own thing.
Therefore, Willis did not pay too much attention to Walls. Like Walls, there was also Aileyen, who was with Walls.
After Willis saw the soldiers who were looking at him, he turned around as usual. To others, he looked exactly the same as usual. There was no flaw at all.
But no one expected that after Willis passed through the military camp, a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
As time went by, the food in the city became less and less, because the Nordic army outside the city had no intention of attacking. The Swadian soldiers could clearly see the Nordic soldiers outside when they were guarding the city walls.
They sat on the ground and ate and drank heartily. They had the most basic food: wheat, bread, and cabbage. In addition, they also had bacon, beef, pork, chicken, fish, as well as butter and expensive honey.
In addition to the food they had in their mouths, they would also hold up glasses and drink ale and precious wine, all of which aroused the jealousy of the Swadian soldiers.
Why can they eat so well and richly, while I can only eat a pitiful piece of bread and drink water? They haven't eaten meat for a long time.
A feeling of jealousy and dissatisfaction quickly spread throughout the city. This was King Ragnar's strategy. He deliberately let the soldiers guarding the city clearly see his own soldiers sitting on the ground eating and drinking. They were envious and jealous.
King Ragnar also made it clear. He sent messengers to tell the soldiers on the city wall that as long as they could leave the city and surrender, all the delicious food that his citizens could enjoy would also be available to the surrendered Swadian soldiers.
Just a few days ago, several soldiers who could not bear the hunger secretly ran out of the city and surrendered to the Nord Kingdom.
They were quickly sent by King Ragnar to the foot of the city to persuade the Swadian soldiers who were still stubbornly holding on. They shouted loudly that as long as these defenders came down, they would enjoy the same treatment as them.
However, under Hospens's strict urging, these Swadian soldiers who came to persuade them to surrender were shot down by a hail of arrows. Except for one or two Swadian soldiers who managed to escape, the rest fell under this ruthless rain of arrows.
Hospens soon issued an order that any citizen who escaped from the city to surrender to the enemy would be punished in this way. He sent his own guards to guard the city walls and lock the city gates tightly.
Wanting to fight to the death with the enemy outside the city, she quickly summoned all the citizens and soldiers in the city.
In his speech, he told the soldiers and civilians who persisted in their resistance in the city the importance of this war, and inspired their national enthusiasm, making their confidence stronger and their conviction more stable.
All of this is to be able to resist foreign invaders.
This was the last sentence Hospens said after his speech, but this sentence has been deeply imprinted in the minds of everyone in this city. Before leaving, everyone even looked at Willis meaningfully.
Not many people paid attention to such a small detail as Hosbens's. Even if they did, they would just think it was a special behavior only among old friends.
And Ford obviously observed this special behavior. Why did Hospens look at Willis meaningfully when everyone left?
All this shows that Willis's recent actions have made Hosbens somewhat dissatisfied, perhaps it was Willis' words about surrender.
It has been deeply imprinted in Hospens' mind. This lingering impression forces Hospens to be wary of Willis.
Ford could feel that this was an opportunity. As long as he told Willis his true identity, with the cooperation of Bilian and him, he believed they could take over the city in one fell swoop.
After formulating his own plan, Ford thought that Willis might really want to surrender to the Nordic Kingdom. He wrote his message and plan into a letter and delivered it to King Ragnar who was waiting outside.
He was waiting for a reply from King Ragnar. If King Ragnar was ready to unite with him, Ford could start his next move and join forces with Willis to start a rebellion within the city.
Walsh, however, did not care about Ford's plan, but as Ford's companion, he had the right to guide Ford's plan. Therefore, after learning about Ford's plan, Walsh did not make any statement.
But he felt that there must be something strange and indescribable about this. Judging from Willis's current situation, it was difficult for Walls to figure out his true character, judging from their previous encounters.
Walls felt that Willis was a tough opponent, and his tactical command was no less than that of Hospens and O'Donnell. Although O'Donnell had died in battle, the remaining Hospens and Willis were no pushovers.
Walls felt that this plan should be slowed down before being implemented, and that a decision should be made after carefully observing Willis' actions. However, things did not go as planned, and King Ragnar was eager to see the final victory.
He has received intelligence that King Graves has begun to attack Uxhall. Judging from King Graves's progress, he believes that he will soon capture Uxhall.
Therefore, King Ragnar did not want to be at a disadvantage in this war. He also hoped to capture the city as quickly as possible and gain absolute control of the city, so as to achieve the final victory in this war.
I will be the final winner, King Ragnar shouted, raising his hand and writing his agreement on the letter, which would mean that Ford's plan could be implemented.
Wals looked at what King Ragnar did too hastily, and he didn't say much. After all, King Ragnar was his own employer. As the leader of a mercenary group, it was his duty to obey the orders of his employer.
However, he was not willing to let himself die.
Wals hopes to make great contributions in this war and gain the appreciation of King Ragnar. Then he will join the Nordic Kingdom and become a lord in the Nordic Kingdom. Then his chances of rising step by step will be much greater.
Although things are still a bit abrupt, Walls has been thinking about whether to join the Nordic Kingdom or not in recent times, but he also knows that if he wants to continue to build his prestige in other countries, it is impossible without a few major wars.
It was an ordinary evening, and Willis was doing his own thing at his desk as usual. The affairs he had to deal with every day were some trivial matters in the military. Most of the main food in the village was controlled by the supreme commander of the group, Hosbens.
As for Willis, he is now just a deputy commander, and his status is below Hosbens. The reason for such a situation is mainly because most of the soldiers in this city are Hosbens' old subordinates.
This created a gap in strength between Hospens and Willis, and because of this gap, Hospens occupied a dominant position in the city.
Willis was helpless about this situation. Although he didn't care who would manage Shuno with such a title, he cared about some practical things.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Willis, as usual, said to the person behind him, "Come in," without raising his head.
The person who came to bring water to Willis this time was a new soldier. For someone like Willis who often patrolled the military camp, this face must be familiar to him.
And in fact, this is indeed the case. The person who appeared in front of Willis was none other than Ford, who had just joined the Swadian army.
For Ford, now is a good opportunity to get close to Willis. You have to know that there is no one around Willis now.
As long as he could reach an agreement with Willis in private, he could then cooperate internally and externally to easily capture the entire Shuosuno without losing a single soldier.
Plans are always good, but if you want to implement them specifically, you need a certain plan.
And Willis is naturally the key person in this plan. If Wesley can be successfully brought into his camp, it will be of great help in achieving this goal.
"General, I noticed that you look worried lately and seem to be thinking about something."
Ford said this to Willis as he ordered her to pour some water. Judging from Ford's tone, it seemed like he was chatting with Willis.
After hearing what Ford said, Willis suddenly looked very sad.
"You are new here, right? I didn't expect you to have so many questions. I know you have a lot of questions. Since you are new here, I will also tell you about my worries."
Willis seemed to be interested as well, and he started chatting with Ford.
"As you know, the enemy soldiers are surrounding the city, but General Hosbens is still staying in the city and is unwilling to leave. If this continues, the entire city will face a food shortage.
When our food runs out, we will die. The Nord Kingdom doesn't even need to lift a finger. Just like today, if we stay outside and eat and drink, we will die immediately."
Willis expressed his concerns, wondering why he would share his concerns with such a small soldier.
