Phoenix Grand Lord

An all-out war with Marigold is already a certainty. It is absolutely impossible to avoid it, and Luo Wei has no intention of avoiding it.

Speaking of which, Rowe had been planning an all-out war with Edmund a long time ago.

But Luo Wei himself didn't expect that this day would come so quickly.

In less than three months after taking over the impoverished Merrill Valley, I was able to take over the Marigold collar ---·

When he first took over Merrill Valley, Rowe felt that he had to develop in a low-key manner for at least a year or two before he could compete head-on with Edmond.

As a result, in less than three months, Merrill Valley grew from scratch and was able to compete with marigolds!

Even Luo Wei himself couldn't help but secretly exclaim: As expected of me! It's really too fast!

Moreover, in less than three months, half of Edmund's vitality has been consumed!

Edmund's war supplies have been almost consumed!

The military resources Edmund currently possesses are his 200 direct lord soldiers and 300

A serf army.

Of course, a total war would involve not only Edmund's own troops, but also the troops of his lord's retainers and lords.

Marigold collar originally had 12 manor fiefs.

However, Shouwang Farm Manor was destroyed, Sancha Road Manor was destroyed, and Stone Forest Highland Manor was leaderless.

There are also three relatively poor manors with pitifully few troops.

There are only 6 manors left that can really be called upon to assemble.

These six manors, including the lord soldiers and irregular serf soldiers, can gather about 1,000 people.

Counting all the manor's combat strength, recruiting civilians, and mercenaries, Edmund would have a total strength of more than 2,000 troops at the limit.

And if you want to integrate these disorganized forces, it will be difficult to take shape in less than ten days.

Edmund's previous confrontation with Viscount Mirandon at the border was just for show, but in this all-out war with Merrill Valley, Edmond was going to invest all of Marigold's family wealth in the real fight.

Having said that, Edmund can be forced to deal with it with all his strength in a short period of time. Among them,

In addition to Luo Wei's own operational planning and layout capabilities, the power of the Phoenix in the Ashes Sequence has been improved step by step.

It also played a very crucial role.

Without Yu's Insight, Luo Wei would not be able to anticipate the enemy's opportunities on the battlefield.

Without the Midas touch, Luo Wei would not have the first pot of gold, and it would be impossible to research and develop too many truth grenades step by step.

Without energy conservation, Luo Wei's war supplies would be in very short supply, and there would be no steel-making materials.

Without the original power of the Phoenix Force, Luo Wei would not be able to make Anne surge and be friendly and practice dual cultivation - no, three cultivations.

And this is just the state where the Phoenix Power has not officially awakened.

If the Phoenix Force awakens—·

So Ten Cultivation, no—the struggle for world hegemony is by no means just about oral pleasure!

Secondly, the establishment of the Merrill Valley ascending channel, Sharize's loyal protection, and the addition of Knight Melvin and Magician Anne also played a great role in weakening Marigold.

The current Marigold seems powerful and can summon 2,000 troops, but it is actually weak.

The current Merrill Valley seems to have just developed, but it is actually very solid.

Now that you already have the ability to arm-wrestle with Edmund, there is no need to hide it anymore.

Just do it!

As long as you can defeat Edmund, you can regain your own title of Marigold Baron!

In order to win this all-out war, in addition to continuing to strengthen the military, we must also strengthen diplomacy.

Total war is different from local defense war.

In fact, a defensive war can only be regarded as a battle, but a full-scale war is a duel using all available resources.

Luo Wei knew very well that if he wanted to win, it would not be possible to rely solely on the natural dangers of Merrill Lynch Valley and blind defense.

We must unite all forces that can be combined to destroy Edmund's political layout.

Yes, Luo Wei had already anticipated what Edmund would do.

Edmund must have had the dignity to declare war on the Purple Forest Territory, and then asked Mrs. Valentine to stand still.

Let Earl Red Fei stand by, ask the Imperial Navy to send elites, and also ask Plank, the blue-robed mage, to help.

Judging from the superficial situation, Meilin Valley is really an isolated island.

But in fact, it is not difficult at all to crack Edmund's political layout.

Edmund has a lot of cards in his hand, and Rowe has even more cards in his hand than Edmund does.

Rowe first wrote a secret letter to the businessman Rafa, asking Rafa to collect marigold trends.

In fact, even if Luo Wei didn't talk about collecting pre-war intelligence, Rafa would also take the initiative to do it.

Of course, writing a secret letter would make it more important, and Rafa would naturally be more attentive.

When the two armies are at war, intelligence work is particularly important.

Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle.

With Rafa collecting intelligence, Luo Wei felt at ease.

After writing the secret letter to Rafa, Luo Wei wrote a personal letter to each of the three lord uncles with the same surname in Zilin Territory.

These three lord uncles with the same surname are all the "Prince Faction" in the Purple Forest Territory, and are veteran manor lords who support Luo Wei's direct bloodline.

They were so upset about Luo Wei giving up his title of Baron Zilin that when Luo Wei came to Merrill Valley, none of the three families sent troops to escort him.

However, the current Luo Wei is not the same Luo Wei as before.

Edmund's declaration of war on Zilin Territory will inevitably make the three uncles with the same surname feel insulted. This is also a good opportunity for Luo Wei to repair the relationship with them and win them over.

Luo Wei did not mention the alliance in the letter to the three uncles with the same surname. He just said that he found the winemaking secret recipe left by the pioneers in Meilin Valley and invited the three uncles to come to Meilin Valley to taste it.

Of course, everyone knows that the invitation at this time is definitely not as simple as drinking.

As for the real intention, they have to meet and talk in secret.

With Luo Wei's identity as the eldest son of the Valentine family, the three uncles with the same surname have to give Luo Wei this face even if they were angry that he gave up the title before.

Luo Wei's purpose is also very simple, that is, to let the three uncles with the same surname harass Edmund from behind after the war starts, so that Edmund can't take care of both ends.

At that time, these three small forces of manor lords alone will be enough to make Edmund anxious.

This is not only to deal with Edmund, but also to give the three uncles with the same surname a little sweetness.

After all, without a blood relative that you can trust, it will be difficult to manage the growing territory in the future.

Cultivating loyal retainers in advance is also necessary for dominating the world.

After writing these three enthusiastic wine tasting invitations, Luo Wei briefly thought about it and wrote a personal letter to Viscount Shattered Star Valley.

In the letter, Luo Wei emphasized the fact that he was the only blood heir of Marigold, and warned Viscount Miranden not to gather troops near the border of Marigold.

Luo Wei deliberately used childish and fierce words, and there was a hint of "Marigold is mine, don't have any bad ideas" between the lines.

And this is exactly a move to do the opposite.

The more Luo Wei prevented Viscount Miranden from sending troops, the more Viscount Miranden would be afraid of missing out on great benefits and sending troops.

And Miranden's sending troops would put pressure on Edmund from another side.
