No matter how you look at the things in front of you, you have just thought carefully about the Demon Alliance, and His Majesty's loyal dog appeared in front of him, saying that it was a coincidence, and no one would believe it.

Lei Ye couldn't help but be suspicious, the Ministry of Intelligence had sent news half a month ago that Earl Shelley had been in contact with His Majesty's envoy, could it be ......

Did the other party collude with the demon worshippers, or did they reach some agreement with His Majesty the King, or did the Count Louis in front of him pretend to be a demon?

Renard thought for a moment and felt that the possibility was relatively small: "You said that you came to meet with the great lord of the south on the orders of His Majesty the King, but I don't know what it was for. ”

Count Louis lowered his eyes, pondered for a moment, and then smiled: "It doesn't hurt to tell Your Excellency, after all, this matter is still related to you." ”

What does it matter to me?, Renard gave a deaf expression.

Count Louis nodded: "That's right, Your Excellency fought a fierce battle with the demon army a few months ago, and used stratagems to annihilate hundreds of thousands of demon armies. ”

Renard raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and felt a little funny, this majesty really wants to be whatever he wants, and he came up with this trick in combination with the time, place, and people, and it may not work elsewhere.

Of course, he won't kindly remind the other party, and even if he reminds him, the other party won't take it to heart.

Count Louis seemed to see through his thoughts, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Do you think a plan won't work?"

Renard shrugged: "Who knows. ”

Count Louis smiled bitterly again: "The nobles in the court also think that this plan is very unreliable, but Your Majesty insists on going its own way. ”

Renard smacked his lips and asked, "Did you suffer a loss?"

It's hard not to suffer losses, the demon commander is not a fool, how can he fall into the same pit twice.

Count Louis took a deep breath: "It's not a loss, we lost more than 7,000 people, but we annihilated more than 200,000 demons. ”

He sighed helplessly: "Your Majesty thinks this is a great victory, and now he is planning an even bigger trap. ”

The ratio of casualties between the two sides reached 1 to 30, which is indeed a big victory.

However, the specific gains and losses depend on the proportion of troops sent by both sides, the military spending and materials consumed, and whether the troops eliminated are elite troops.

Sure enough, Count Louis's next words confirmed Lei Ye's guess.

There was a bitter expression on his face: "We dispatched a full 20,000 elite cavalry and 50,000 elite infantry, and spent a lot of military supplies, but only annihilated 200,000 motley troops of the demons, which Your Majesty does not know. ”

It is conceivable that if every battle was fought like this, it would not take a few times for Arthur's kingdom to fall apart automatically.

Ferdinand was, after all, an indifferent young man, self-righteous and overjoyed, which is a common disease of young people, and if it appeared in the king, it was enough to lead the entire kingdom into the abyss of destruction.

Renard snorted the flowers, and this kind of behavior that did not conform to aristocratic etiquette appeared on him so naturally: "What does this have to do with your coming to Nanhuang County." ”

Lei Ye found that the way the Count Louis spoke in front of him was similar to what he had, and he often did not play cards according to the routine.

Count Louis breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had encountered an unsolvable problem: "Your Majesty wants to burn down the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts and seal the demon underground. ”

Renard was dumbfounded when he heard this, and the two words could no longer describe the shock in his heart: "Is he crazy?"

As soon as the words came out, he felt speechless and hurriedly closed his mouth.

The Count of Louis did not pursue his unreasonableness against the king, and continued: "Your Majesty has sent me here to discuss this plan, when the north and the south will set fire at the same time, so as to completely block the retreat of the demon and kill it in the forest. ”

Lei Ye didn't bother to listen to his nonsense, and asked, "The courtiers agreed?"

Count Louis nodded: "After discussion, most people think this is a good plan, and only a few people oppose it. ”

Bullshit! Renard cursed in his heart, this is simply killing a thousand enemies and losing 10,000 himself.

It was a forest with an area of tens of thousands of square kilometers, and it was almost impossible to extinguish any fire that broke out.

Not to mention the impact on the creatures in the forest, not to mention the impact on the environment, the most direct material loss alone can be as high as tens of millions of gold coins.

What is the forest, it is wealth, there are countless treasures in it, and cutting off a steady stream of wealth in order to destroy tens of millions of demons underground is simply digging a self-digging grave.

This might be a good idea when it comes to the survival of the race, but now that the fight against demons is gaining momentum everywhere, why bother to cut off children and grandchildren?

Renard was quick to make the most apt assessment of King Ferdinand and his courtiers: wine bags and rice bags.

Suppressing the anger in his heart, he asked again, "Have you been to Earl Ian and Earl Shelley?"

Count Louis nodded: "We have discussed this matter, but they are all firmly opposed. ”

As he spoke, he looked at Lei Ye with burning eyes: "What do you mean?"

Count Louis knew that the nominal ruler of the county of Meredith was Heidi, but in fact it was Renard who secretly had the final say, so he asked.

Lei Ye sneered: "Lao Tzu doesn't want future generations to poke Lao Tzu's backbone, besides, where is the demon so easy to be destroyed." ”

Count Louis was obviously relieved when he heard this: "Then I can rest assured, all the lords in the south are opposed, and His Majesty the King cannot be willful." ”

Listening to the meaning of his words, it is obvious that he does not approve of this operation either.

Immediately afterwards, Count Louis seemed to remember something and asked, "Is Princess Sylvia okay?"

Lei Ye didn't know why he was asking this, so he had to reply truthfully: "She's fine." ”

Count Louis nodded: "Actually, in addition to meeting with the lords this time, I also have to escort Her Royal Highness the princess back to the royal capital, and now only Her Royal Highness the princess can persuade Her Majesty." ”

Hearing this, Renard was a little lost for no reason, thinking back that he had recently patronized and dealt with military and political affairs, and completely left the other party aside, and he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed in his heart.

However, he also knew that the only woman who could press Ferdinand to the ground and rub it against him was this woman of great intelligence.

After pondering for a long time, perhaps because he was afraid that the angry king would set fire to the forest in anger, Lei Ye said in a deep voice: "Please tell Your Majesty the King that in a while, the Count of Meredith will launch a counterattack against the demon, please wait for the opportunity." ”

Count Louis's eyes flashed when he heard this: "Please rest assured, Your Excellency, I will bring your words word for word." ”

Renard now only hopes that Ferdinand is not a fool or a madman, otherwise the sinner of the ages will be condemned.

After the exchange, Lei Ye looked at Count Louis: "Do you have anything else, or do you want to rest here?"

Count Louis shook his head slightly, then disappeared into the room as if he had never been there.
