After waking up

In mid-October, Mulan, his men, and Ilhan's envoy gradually approached the border of Ilhan on a sea ship. As the ship moved farther and farther north, the temperature continued to drop.

"Mr. Special Envoy, the cold winter in Ilhan seems to last longer than I thought."

Mulan has now put on a thick cloak, and his hat has been replaced by a large-brimmed hat designed by him. The top is made of gray cloth and the brim is black leather, making him look extremely heroic.

Barton seemed to have transformed back into the former Mulan's personal guard, his tall body always inseparable from Mulan's side.

Handel, Benjamin, Marlene, Hathaway and others also stood on the railing of the deck and looked at the sea. This was their first time to the sea so far north, and the feeling of wind and snow made them very novel.

Ilhan's envoy was wrapped in a thick fluffy cloak, with the hood tied over his ears and shivering a little from the cold.

"Although winters have been extremely cold in recent years, they are not as extreme as this year. This winter also seems to be extremely long."

"Really? I thought it was like this every year. It seems we are very lucky."

"The damn thing is that those untouchables are very active in winter. Aren't they afraid of the cold? Hey, autumn~"

Mulan glanced at the Ilhan envoy beside him.

"Mr. Special Envoy, it's better to go back to the cabin and rest. We won't arrive until tonight. Then we have to take a car to the royal capital first, right?"

"Yes, yes, then I won't accompany you. I'll take my leave."

"Um."

If Mulan hadn't asked him to come out to understand the situation, Special Envoy Ilhan would have been unwilling to leave the heated cabin. At this moment, he felt even more amnesty and hurried back to the cabin.

As soon as Special Envoy Ilhan left, Handel beside him immediately sneered.

"Hey, the Ilhan people still live in the cold zone all year round, that's it?"

"that is."

Regardless of whether they have graduated or are in a high position, these students who have a good relationship with their teachers are always more relaxed in front of Mulan.

"What you said is correct, but not everyone in Ilhan will suffer from the cold. Some people live even more comfortably than people in the imperial capital."

"Professor, the Ilhan people are really weird. They are obviously in a hurry, but they still want us to go to the royal capital to meet their king after we arrive. Shouldn't work be prioritized? Am I not understanding the so-called politics?"

Hathaway on the side smiled at Marin.

"Senior sister, it's not that you don't understand politics, but you don't understand nobility, especially the royal family."

As a descendant of a local noble, Hathaway knew a little about the ways of the upper-class nobles.

Mulan looked at the sea in the distance, as if he could see the coast that was still far away.

"Everyone should have a good rest. It will be a fierce battle. I hope everyone can return to Dilga alive."

"yes!"

Mulan spoke, and everyone stopped joking. Except for some people who wanted to continue watching the snow falling on the deck, everyone else went back to the cabin to rest.

There were only a few people left on this deck. Hathaway glanced at Patton, who was standing like an iron tower behind Mullan, and then took a few steps closer to Mullan, arriving at the spot where the Ilhan envoy had just stood. place.

"Is something wrong?"

Hathaway was so nervous that she couldn't speak clearly.

"No, it's okay, I just want to see the snow."

"Well, make sure to rest. I'm going back to the cabin first."

After Mullan said this, he turned around and left. Hathaway was both a little disappointed and slightly relieved.

That night, the sea ship docked secretly on the southeast coast of Ilhan, and then took a train overnight to reach the royal capital of Ilhan. Mulan and others took a short rest here and went to see King Ilhan after dawn. Bamye II.

Fortunately, the Ilhan royal family still had some sense and did not publicize the arrival of Dilga's help in a big way. They also received Mulan and others in a relatively private occasion.

In a small living room, Ilhan's military minister and a few people were present. Mulan, followed by Hessen and Patton, followed Ilhan's special envoy into the living room.

"Your Majesty, I have fulfilled my mission and returned with Dilga's envoy."

"Mulan Jonst has met His Majesty the King."

Mulan just clenched his fists and saluted, and the two people behind him also saluted.

"No gift!"

King Ilhan sat in his seat and looked at the several Dilga people carefully. It was clear with the naked eye that these three people were not simple.

Needless to say, Mulan was the leader. Haisen on the side also looked extremely elegant, and Barton on the side was even more powerful. Even from such a distance, it would bring some visual oppression.

"Thank you Queen Nesshelil for sending the Glorious Judge. I believe that with the help of your country, we will be able to quickly suppress the rebels and give the people in the country a stable environment."

Mulan raised his head and looked at Bamye I, who was obviously drunk and too drunk. Then his eyes stopped not far from the king. That person was Sylven.

"Your Majesty is so complimentary, who is this one?"

"Hahahaha, it seems that strong people will still attract each other. Sylven is also an excellent court mage in our country. You will also be able to cooperate in the future."

Sylven smiled and nodded to Mulan. Although the fourth-level Victory Knight was powerful, it was still not enough to defeat the weirdo in the shadow.

Mulan smiled at Sylven, and then looked at the king.

"Your Majesty, I hope to get the latest information, the more detailed the better. It will be collected within today, and then we will leave for the north of your country."

"Today? Well, why are you in such a hurry, Your Majesty the Viscount? The reception banquet has not started yet. Many nobles of Ilhan want to meet you."

"Your Majesty, I came here under the order of the Queen to help suppress the rebellion. I am not here to enjoy myself. In addition to hoping to solve the problem as soon as possible, I am also eager to fight with the strong and drink the blood of the strong with the edge of my sword!"

Mulan's eyes flashed with light, without using any magic power or bursting out his spiritual will, but it actually made some of the nobles present in Ilhan feel a sense of oppression.

Sylvan's eyes when he looked at Mulan became more solemn. It seemed that the Dilga people were indeed different from the Ilhan people. After all, they were the only country on the continent that could be called an empire.

"Uh, well, thank you for your hard work, Viscount Jones. We'll make up for the banquet later. Someone, come and take Viscount Jones down to prepare."

"yes!"

Mulan followed the guide politely, not being sloppy at all, and not caring about what the Ilhan people were talking about behind their backs.

It doesn't matter if the Ilhan people say that Mulan is rude to the king or whatever. This is what Mulan wants to show to others. Except for the queen of the empire, the monarchs of other countries are not superior in his eyes.

While many ministers criticized the "arrogant Dilga people", people from the military quickly came to contact Mulan and invited them to the military staff room, along with Sylven and Several of Ilhan's necromancers.

Through the enemy's perspective, Mulan knew to what extent they understood the Workers' Party and Dawn. Obviously, although they had paid some attention to it, their understanding was not deep enough.

"Your Excellency Jonest, the Shirkin area, here, here and here, are all places where the Workers' Party was more active before, and with the Basman people secretly supporting them, there may be big moves in the near future."

Mulan remained silent while looking at the map, while several of Ilhan's generals expressed their opinions.

"Sirkin, judging from their recent actions, they must want to launch another rebellion in Shirkin. They succeeded here last time and left a lot of foundations."

"I agree that there are certainly many Workers' Party remnants among the workers in Shirkin, and they know the city better."

"Not necessarily. We can imagine that they will also consider it. Previous contacts are enough to show that there are people among them who are well versed in strategy. We cannot really treat them as ordinary untouchables rebelling."

"Yes, then is it possible in Banayan? It is also closer to Basman and it is easy to obtain supplies. If they and the Basman attack the defense line of the Dashanling Fortress from front to back, the Basman may march straight in!"

The general who had led the army to suppress the Shirkin uprising suddenly pointed at a point on the map.

"Is it possible that their target is here."

Mulan opened his eyes slightly, and the location pointed by the general was exactly the Lomiyan area.

"why?"

Others asked, and the general looked at the people around him and explained.

"If I were the commander-in-chief of the opponent, I would never let the enemy easily see my purpose. I would use various means to confuse the opponent's sight and remain silent where I really intend to take action."

"Your Excellency Jonest, you are both a powerful transcendent and Dilga's military expert. What do you think?"

Mulan nodded slightly to the general.

"I agree with your point of view. I would have similar thoughts if I moved to another place, but I will definitely have a backup plan. It is impossible to completely determine the target until the eve of confirming the action. Of course, I feel sorry for Ilhan The understanding of each region is still insufficient, so it is impossible to make detailed judgments.”

"If it were me, I would choose at least two places. After the early smoke screen, I would choose two or three places to act based on the advantages, or act simultaneously. If these rebels are as active as you said, it shouldn't be difficult to do. To this point.”

Active is just a nice way of saying it. In fact, there are responders to the Workers' Party uprising all over the country, so it seems like there are signs of chaos everywhere.

"really."

Several generals couldn't help but follow Mulan's train of thought.

"In this case, we will list at least two to three key areas."

"A considerable part of our army is already on guard against Basman at the border. Spreading too many troops is tantamount to actively dismantling our advantage."

"Let's do this. Focus on the Luomiyang area and send two armies to the most likely other places."

Mulan nodded slightly.

"Then I will take the first step, and your army will be in place later. If we make a mistake in judgment, our transfer speed will be faster than the army."

Mulan could only try his best to let Ilhan disperse part of his power. At the same time, he paid attention to the general. This man was a greater threat than the extraordinary. It was best to design a way to get rid of him.
