Lord of War

348. War in preparation

While secretly reaching a certain agreement with Wilson, it also means that the actual control of the entire Forest of Gray Shadows has completely fallen into Sean's hands.

Of course, it also means that the Earl from the Kingdom of France, Rom Normir, who witnessed the whole incident, also lost his freedom at the same time. There is only one way in front of him, and that is to follow Sean to leave the Gray Shadow Market, because Wilson and his Gray Shadow Market are Sean's biggest secret right now, and this secret cannot be solved until the Dabion Kingdom is completely resolved. There is any possibility of exposure, so of course Roma lost his freedom.

However, Rom did not express any objection to this point—of course, even if he wanted to object, it would be impossible.

Therefore, when a torrent of steel composed of black, blue, and gray leaves from the Forest of Gray Shadows, Rom is also on the list. However, compared to the deacons and servants of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance, Rom can at least have a certain degree of freedom as a guest, which is enough for those chambers of commerce that once had the ability to call the wind and rain in the gray shadow black market. The deacon was envious.

Because only in terms of status, they are Xiao En's captives.

And being a prisoner means not having any right to freedom.

Seeing these high-ranking chamber of commerce deacons, guards, and servants all become captives, the Thunder Lion soldiers who were once captives did not feel angry or disappointed with Xiao En's behavior and methods. On the contrary, everyone looked elated . Because seeing these people who could completely decide their life and death with a single sentence, suddenly became people who could be insulted by him at will, these soldiers only had pleasure, not sighs of sympathy.

This is the hatred that has been branded deep in the soul.

Sean, on the other hand, just made use of this hatred very cleverly.

As he lives in this world, Sean finds that many of his ideas will be greatly expanded and improved, and the way of thinking about problems is gradually no longer limited to the one in the game. Therefore, Xiao En also gradually understood that although the historical process of this world will still largely follow the historical process in the game, without the cooperation of a sufficient number of players, many things will not be changed. And if these details are not changed, it will also affect the historical process of the entire world to a certain extent.

This is a matter of principle that cannot be changed.

In addition, because of his appearance, many historical events have been changed or advanced, which also caused a great degree of interference to his actions and policies.

But if there is no benefit, that is not necessarily the case.

It's just that there are many benefits, and there is no way to get the most out of them at present.

Of course, in order to obtain more and greater benefits, the biggest prerequisite is to survive.

The vast army finally walked out of the Forest of Gray Shadows after taking a longer time than when they came, and this time they walked out not from Jedbiling, but from Pandaling. In the middle of this team, there are hundreds of carriages transporting goods. These are the transportation vehicles that the major chambers of commerce in the gray shadow black market have been hiding in the forest. Usually, when the goods are to be transported out, the horses will be mobilized by the outside world. Enter.

But this time was obviously an exception, because it was not horses that were pulling the carriage, but people from major chambers of commerce in the gray shadow black market that had become Xiao En's captive. These people have truly experienced what life as a slave is like this time,

But even though this kind of behavior is a huge insult to them, and it also makes them feel extremely dissatisfied in their hearts, after seeing Xiao En's ruthless methods, no one will be stupid enough to choose to resist.

When the army left the range of the Forest of Gray Shadows, it happened to be late at night.

In this silent night, soon there was a loud noise.

The sound wasn't very loud, but the ground was still shaking. It was obviously the sound of marching troops, and the scale might not be small.

But at this moment, the soldiers who had just come out of the Forest of Gray Shadows did not put on any posture. On the contrary, everyone showed a relaxed look on their faces, because they were worried that they would encounter enemies in the Forest of Gray Shadows. Attack, so they have lived very hard in the past month, and the sleep time is seriously insufficient. Until this moment, after leaving the Forest of Gray Shadows and stepping into the territory of Panda Territory, they could finally relax completely.

Not for anything else, just because this is the Panda Territory, which is Xiao En's first territory after becoming the lord.

In this territory, they don't need to worry about possible surprise attacks at all.

After a long time, a figure finally appeared on the horizon.

Afterwards, when the figure came galloping on a war horse, a huge army appeared behind him.

The galloping sound like an earthquake came from the actions of this legion.

The man on horseback quickly approached Xiao En's army, and as the man gradually approached, all the soldiers stopped what they were doing and stood upright to salute the knight. The man on the horse just nodded with a smile, but did not slow down the horse. It was only when he got close to Xiao En that he finally reined in and got up. The horse neighed and the man stood up, and then stopped firmly on Xiao En's side. En's side.

"You're two days late."

As soon as the war horse stopped, the person who came reached out and patted his back, and then lay directly on the horse's back, his face was as lazy as ever. The first thing he said was not to say hello to Sean, but to blame Sean for wasting two days of his time, and among all Sean's followers, there were only two who dared to speak to him like this.

One is still managing many territorial affairs in the Void City.

The other one is right in front of Sean's eyes at this moment.

William Yale.

Rom, who recognized William's identity at the first sight, suddenly shrank his pupils, but no matter how fast he tried to keep calm, the breath fluctuation at this moment still attracted the attention of everyone around him. Even William, who had no physical strength at all, looked sideways at this middle-aged man whose aura was no less than that of Reina.

Then, William said something that completely changed Rom's impression of him in an instant.

"It's true that when you have a new love, you forget the old love." William curled his lips, "I've worked so hard here to help you deal with things, but you came back with a new man without saying a word. You said you brought a beautiful woman It's okay to come back, but I brought an old man back, I misread you, Sean!"

At this moment, everyone, including Cecilia, turned their heads away from looking at William, as if they didn't know William at all.

Because they have to admit, with William's "beauty" that is almost no less than Cecilia's, coupled with his obviously slightly soft voice and the appearance of crying at the moment, there is indeed an extremely deadly Appeal. And this kind of attraction is naturally not something ordinary people can resist and bear. No matter who sees William like this, he will definitely choose to favor him subconsciously, not the person he accused.

But the problem is.

William is a man.

"People already know your identity, so of course they know your gender very well. Is it interesting for you to play like this?" Sean squinted at William, although he wanted to pretend that he didn't know William, especially at this moment, but he knew He had to say some words, "Rom Normir, a member of the Normir family in the Kingdom of France."

"You fell into Xiao En's hands at a young age. I really mourn your future." William glanced at Roma, his tone was much calmer, but he remained like this for less than a few seconds, and then It made people helpless once, "Sean, what do you like about him? Do you really like this kind of older man?"

"William!" Sean growled. without

But William didn't care, he just looked Rom up and down again, and then said calmly: "The Normir family, but a big family with the same name as the Wiles family, can you collect It is not difficult to obtain more detailed information. But judging from your performance and reaction, it is obvious that you have a very thorough understanding of Xiao En's affairs, but it doesn't matter. I don't care what you want to do, but there is a One thing I must tell you in advance, once you enter the Void City, you'd better put away all your unrealistic ideas, because before you start trying, you will soon find that sometimes death is a relief .”

Hearing William's words, Rom felt a chill in his heart for some reason.

Among the people present, the only ones who could threaten his life were Reina and Sean. As for a person like William, he can kill hundreds of them by himself. After all, William is no different from an ordinary person. He has no self-protection ability at all. fear.

Of course, what is even more frightening is that with the appearance of William, the two iron triangle structures representing the strongest combat power of Panda Ling finally arrived.

"What's the current situation?" Sean ignored William's warning to Rom, but asked instead.

"The Union of Chambers of Commerce doesn't know the situation yet, but I guess it won't be long." William said calmly, "I originally planned to store this batch of supplies at the base of Steel Wings first, but now I see them with my own eyes. I changed my mind, but fortunately, I brought enough people this time to ensure the stability of the route, and sending them back to Void City is not a problem."

"You can arrange it." Sean nodded, "But we must take the lead before the Chamber of Commerce Alliance fully reacts."

"Then what about these people?" William casually pointed to the chamber of commerce deacon and guards who were captured alive by Sean.

After being pointed at by William, the faces of all the guards and deacons of the chamber of commerce turned blank. They all knelt down and begged for mercy, fearing that Sean would think that they were useless and kill them all with a knife.

"Temporarily lock them all up for now, and when the chamber of commerce finds out about the situation, these people can still be used as hostages." Xiao En glanced at those people, feeling the fear in their eyes, and said softly, "If the chamber of commerce If the alliance sends someone to negotiate, then it will be dealt with according to the noble covenant, and the ransom should be raised as high as possible. If the chamber of commerce alliance is not happy, they will all be sold as slaves."

"What if they don't buy it?"

"Then it can only be used as fertilizer." Sean sneered.

But this sneer terrified all the guards and deacons of the chamber of commerce.

"By the way, what happened to the things I asked you to prepare?" Sean asked suddenly.

"Asuna has already agreed, and it will probably be ready soon." When it came to business, William immediately changed his previous laziness and said in a serious voice, "Besides, because of the additional contribution of the Hastings family, So I specially asked Neil to go to Tonis Fortress, hired several mercenary regiments there, and bought a batch of slaves back, so now our total strength can gather 70,000 people, but it is directly under the Our strength is still 30,000, the other 20,000 are from the three mercenary regiments, and the other 20,000 are newly bought slaves, but due to lack of training and sufficient armaments, there is no way for the 20,000 to do so for the time being. Playing any role, if you really want to go to the battlefield now, it is estimated that it can only be used as cannon fodder."

"Seventy thousand people? This is really a surprise!" Sean said excitedly, "But what needs to be considered at the moment is the issue of training, and there is no need to worry about armaments. There is still an army of eight people, those armaments are enough for us."

"Really decide to lead Berbice?"

"Do we still have a choice?" Sean said in a deep voice, "The Union of Chambers of Commerce stabbed us in the back, which is completely driving us to a dead end. If we don't take the initiative to attack, then there is really no way out. ... Now that Asuna has agreed to our plan, what we need to do is to start a war directly. At that time, even if the Chamber of Commerce Alliance knows about the gray shadow black market, they will have nothing to do with us. After all, we have There are many hostages."

"I see." William nodded. He also knew that the method Sean said was the best way to crack it. Otherwise, once the Dabiang Kingdom and the Chamber of Commerce Alliance joined forces, they really would have no chance of winning. , Maybe the Principality of Ryan will become history. After all, the funds and influence of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance are too huge. "If this is the case, then we should rush back to Void City immediately."

"What happened?" Sean was a little confused.

"Nothing happened, but there is one person you must meet, maybe he can bring us more surprises."

"Who?" Sean asked.

"Ericate." William replied, "After the Hastings family perished, he became the target of the Nugus family. Now his head is worth 200,000 Pangea gold coins. Two All the killer organizations are chasing him... But he escaped to our side smoothly and wanted to seek your asylum. Because this matter is too important, Neil and I dare not decide, so let Ruby arranged places to hide him in secret."

"If it's Eli Kite, maybe it will really bring us some surprises." Sean didn't know much about Eli Kate at the beginning, but the theft of documents in Hastings Manor After the incident, Xiao En paid attention to this person, and soon discovered that this guy is also a rare spy talent. If he is allowed to join the Void Realm, it can greatly improve the Void Realm All aspects of strength.

So after knowing that it was Eli Kite who came to seek asylum, Sean decided to take him in without even thinking about it.

As for the issue of offending the Nugus family by taking him in, that's completely out of Sean's consideration. Anyway, he and the Dabion Kingdom are definitely going to war, and after this trip to the gray shadow black market, Sean has also decided to take the lead in provoking the war, so the hunting order issued by the Nugus family is just It's just a joke, as long as he can solve the Nugus family, the two assassination organizations that tried to kill Eli Kate will also choose to stop.

Because no one will pay them the two hundred thousand gold coins, and it is also possible to completely offend Sean.

"By the way, there is one more thing." William said suddenly as if remembering something.

"What's up?"

"We found out who the commander-in-chief of the southern nobles in Darbion is this time." William said in a deep voice, "I'm not sure if this person is the one you care about, but there is no doubt that she is the leader of the southern nobles in Darbion. She has a very high status in her circle, and we finally found out her name after sacrificing more than 20 people...but it's just a name."

When it came to the last sentence, William completely gritted his teeth.

After all, the Void Realm is William's most painstakingly created intelligence department, and in the previous spy confrontation with the Millennium Covenant Empire and the later confrontation with the Hastings, many people were sacrificed. It can be said that the entire Void Realm Jing has already been seriously injured. Now, in order to find out the identity of the enemy commander who formed an encirclement circle against Xiao En this time, more than 20 members of the Void Realm were sacrificed. How could William not be angry?

You must know that after this trouble, there are no more than 30 spies who are still active and active in the entire Void Realm, and even half of them are novices. This is equivalent to saying that the Void Realm has existed in name only.

However, after hearing William's words, Xiao En's heart "thumped", and he vaguely had bad thoughts in his heart: "You mean, this commander is a woman?"

"Yes." Although Sean's reaction was somewhat strange, William nodded, "What's wrong?"

"What's her name?" Sean asked eagerly, but at the same time, he kept praying in his heart not to be the person in his impression.

"Hella Nugus."

"Hella Nugus?" Sean was taken aback for a moment, "Are you sure it's Hela Nugus?"

"Yes, I'm very sure." Hearing Xiao En's words, William was a little unhappy, "That's information obtained in exchange for 20 lives. Is it possible that something might go wrong?"

Although he felt the displeasure in William's words, Sean still couldn't calm down: "Check it out thoroughly and find out what the surname Garcia has to do with her."

Although he was a little surprised by Sean's special and fierce reaction, seeing Sean's serious face, William nodded: "I see.... But I really want to know what is so special about the name Garcia Where? Shocked you so much."

"The surname Garcia once gave birth to a very famous commander in history. Even by today's standards, it is definitely in the ranks of ten generals." Sean really didn't know how to explain it to William, so he could only make it up. A lie came out, "I once heard a prophecy that the descendants of the Garcia family will give birth to a woman named Hela, who will completely inherit the blood and wisdom of this ancestor... If this prophecy is true Yes, then the enemy we are going to face this time is one of the ten generals."

Hearing Xiao En's words, William also showed a bit of shock on his face. Although he is very confident in his abilities, because of his mentality and other reasons, William doesn't think he can be compared with the top ten generals—even in Xiao En's eyes, this is a future top ten generals, but at least for now However, William has not really qualified to step into the ranks of the ten generals.

And because he is also very aware of Sean's magic stick ability, he naturally believes in this prophecy that Sean has heard about.

So at this moment, both William and Sean were expecting this woman named Hela Nugus not to have anything to do with the Garcia family.

What William scruples is the prophecy that Sean said.

As for Sean, what was scruples was the special talent of this female commander.

Because Hella Garcia is one of the top ten generals in the future, and her ranking is even higher than William: seventh.

Although perhaps in the current era, Hella Garcia may not be qualified to enter the top ten generals, but this information from the future also clearly shows that Hella's future achievements are definitely not lower than William's. . And if this time, the commander of the southern nobles of Dabion is really related to the surname Garcia, then there will be a reasonable explanation for all the current arrangements for Sean.

Because what Hella Garcia is best at is building momentum, taking advantage of momentum, and luck. Simply put, she is very good at layout, because she has an amazing overall view. Maybe she is not as good as William in formulating tactical plans, and not as good at surviving adversity and using all available resources to fight back, but there are really not many people who can beat her in the contest at the strategic level, and once she is fully grasped If the general situation prevails, even the military god of the Chinas Empire on the mainland today may have a hard time parrying it.

This is the truly terrifying aspect of Hella Garcia.

Similarly, it is precisely because she is only good at layout and not good at other aspects of the art of war that she is ranked seventh.

But if it was really this woman, then Sean had to choose to attack at a faster speed.

Because as time goes on, the more perfect the woman's layout is, then no matter how hard he struggles, he will only fail. ......
