Sean was shocked when he saw the small words next to the bookmark.

Brody Mills is going to lead the army to attack Riverside Town. What should we do?

Sean knew very well the defense strength of River Beach Town. There were only twenty newly recruited militiamen, and their weapons and armor were not very complete. The strongest Anduin only had the Black Iron rank.

It is simply wishful thinking to use this small force to fight against Shuisongzhen's organized army!

As for the Flame Cross Mercenary Group stationed in Hetan Town, first of all, they are not a professional mercenary group, and their performance on the battlefield is definitely not as strong as the mercenary group.

After all, mercenary groups rely on war for their livelihood.

Second, Sean signed a garrison agreement with them rather than a mercenary agreement that could order them to participate in the war.

In order for the Flame Cross Mercenary Group to go to the battlefield, Sean will definitely have to pay more gold coins, and now he doesn't have many gold coins on hand.

Moreover, before Brody Mills commanded the army to attack River Beach Town, he would definitely take into account the unstable factor of the Flame Cross Mercenary Group.

So no matter how you think about it, you have no chance of winning here.

What to do next?

…

Sean paced back and forth in the bedroom irritably, thinking about solutions to the problem.

However, Sean also understands that he must stay calm and rational at this time. The more anxious he is, the more it will affect his thinking.

So Sean used magic to summon the water elements of heaven and earth to condense into water flow, and used the water flow to wash his face and force himself to calm down.

After calming down, Sean sat at his desk and began to use pen and paper to figure out the next step.

Time passed like this minute by minute.

…

Half an hour later, Sean walked out of the bedroom, called the butler Henry who was just about to take a rest, and informed his followers to return to the study for a meeting to discuss ways to deal with the invasion of River Beach Town.

Soon, butler Henry, Luo Dian, Windsor and other entourage returned to the study.

Sean showed them the secret information from Sophia, and everyone's expressions became serious.

Butler Henry said regretfully:

"Sir, you asked me to collect information on Shuisong Town before, but I was busy buying supplies to return to Hetan Town and didn't take it to heart.

I didn’t expect such a big thing to happen now, and it’s all my fault!”

"It's not your fault." Sean waved his hand, "I was also at fault. Brody Mills and I had a conflict at the dinner last time, but I didn't pay attention to it."

Sean told everyone about the incident at the dinner where Jessica induced Brody to become hostile to him.

After speaking, Sean concluded:

"What it comes down to is that Jessica Rivers deliberately provoked Brody's hostility towards me.

Therefore, all this may be a conspiracy of the River Family, and Brody Mills may have reached some kind of deal with the River Family, so he attacked River Beach Town."

"What you said makes sense!" Butler Henry nodded. "Could it be that the Earl of River wants to marry his daughter to Brody, and River Beach Town is the dowry?"

Sean touched his chin and said noncommittally:

"Maybe! But no matter what kind of agreement the two parties reach, we should think carefully about how to face this invasion.

Henry, how many troops do you think Water Pine Town can organize?"

Butler Henry thought for a while and said:

"According to my understanding of Shuisong Town, there are less than 4,000 people in Shuisong Town. They are unprofessional soldiers. They are all militiamen. They make a living by farming when there is no war. When war is launched, they are recruited into the army and become soldiers.

.

I estimate that these militiamen only have about a hundred people, plus the mercenaries and ordinary farmers recruited, there should be no more than two hundred people at most!"

Hearing what the butler Henry said, Sean was slightly relieved: "Two hundred people? It doesn't seem like that much."

After all, when I was in school in my previous life, one class could accommodate a hundred people, and two hundred people were just two classes, so it wasn't too much.

Butler Henry saw Sean's expression and immediately warned: "Lord, you can't underestimate them!

The strongest man in Shuisong Town is named Zude, and he is a silver-level warrior. Zude alone can defeat 50 soldiers. To put it bluntly, he can occupy our Hetan Town by himself!

"

"I'm not looking down on them. Even without this Silver-level expert, we are still no match for Shuipong Town." Sean smiled bitterly and said, "Henry, apart from the cost of buying a shop and producing goods this time, we probably

How many gold coins can be left?"

"Let me calculate, it will cost about 50 gold coins to buy ale and 10 gold coins to buy flowers..." Henry began to calculate silently.

At the end of the day, Henry replied: We only have about 500 gold coins left."

"Let's do this." Sean immediately made a decision: "Wendsor, let Henry help you buy 500 gold weapons, armor and horses tomorrow to return to Hetan Town and pack up the valuable things in the territory.

After the troops from Shuisong Town arrive, you all should withdraw from Hetan Town and come to Yoen City, trying to ensure that you have enough strength."

There is no way to survive by fighting against the army in Water Pine Town. The only way Sean can think of is to run away.

"Sir, what about your safety?" Windsor asked worriedly.

"It's okay, I will always take Rem with me. Rem, you will be responsible for following me to protect my safety from now on. You don't have to worry about other things. Do you understand?" Sean said to Void Walker Barr.

"Understood!" Voidwalker Baal replied.

Sean nodded and looked at the others: "Luo Dian, Ram, your work remains the same as yesterday;

Monica, tomorrow you ride a horse to Shuisong Town, and then disguise yourself and sneak in. Once Shuisong Town sends troops, you must notify Hetan Town as soon as possible, and then notify me again, do you understand?"

"No problem!" Silver Attendant Monica also replied.

In fact, it would be better to go to Water Pine Town to spy on intelligence and find a follower who can sneak, such as the one-cost follower [Werewolf Lurker], but Sean no longer has any extra money to buy card packs, so he can only make do with it.

...

Next, Sean told everyone some details of specific actions.

After the meeting, Sean returned to the bedroom to prepare for meditation. No matter what big thing happened, two hours of meditation every day was still indispensable.

However, due to his unstable mind, Sean's meditation was very ineffective. He was interrupted several times due to his mind wandering, and the effect was greatly reduced.

In the end, Sean simply stopped meditating and started thinking about the invasion of Water Pine Town.

This is indeed the biggest crisis that Sean has encountered since he came to this world. If Brody takes over Riverside Town, it will be very difficult to take it back.

What should we do to break the situation?
