Chapter 211: Northern Strategy
"This really needs to be planned. Sean nodded approvingly.
Some time ago, he was stationed in the Northern Fortress, and he didn't know much about the situation over there, so he took the initiative to take over the work of explaining the other party's intelligence.
"The hatred between the silver wolf, the evil wolf and the gray wolf has a long history, they were originally the same big tribe, and then they were divided because of the brothers, the pastures are crisscrossed, and there are many conflicts between the herdsmen, the original silver wolf tribe has an absolute advantage, and the evil wolf and the gray wolf have been pressed and cannot move. ”
"But three years ago, the Silver Wolf Tribe suffered a plague, which changed the situation, and the evil wolf and the gray wolf saw the opportunity and wanted to take the opportunity to annex the Silver Wolf Tribe, but they didn't expect that the chief of the Silver Wolf Tribe was not good at stubble, and they suffered heavy injuries and bruised their main force. ”
"As a result, both sides were defeated, now it is the continuation of their tribal war, the Kogel grassland is the final decisive battlefield they chose, originally they can fight or not, but after our provocation last winter, they fought a big battle before the winter, not to mention the loss of troops, the winter pasture is not well prepared, the condition of the cattle and sheep is not very good, and the two sides have no other choice. ”
"After the beginning of spring, there will inevitably be a decisive battle between the two sides, and only the victor will be able to leave the Kogel steppe. ”
"And this is our opportunity, it is impossible to eat them all in one bite, if we unite one side, eat the other side, and take advantage of it, it is not difficult, and the question to be determined now is, which side we will help. ”
This winter, although there was nothing to do between the Odin orc tribe and the northern fortress, even the ranger sentry and the other party took the initiative to withdraw to show friendship.
It doesn't mean that the Eternal Night Army has relaxed its vigilance, and the eagle eye buried in the Kogel grassland has picked up the other party's information and is prepared.
"Each of them has its own advantages and disadvantages, the alliance between the evil wolf and the gray wolf is stronger than the strength of the silver wolf tribe, if it is combined with it, plus the geographical advantage, the joint attack, and the silver wolf tribe is safely eaten, but it is precisely because of the strength of the other party that the other party does not necessarily fancy us, how much spoils can be shared, and it is necessary to break hands with the other party. ”
"Although the silver wolf tribe is relatively weak, there is a wise leader who should not refuse our kindness, and it is easier to maximize the benefits, but against the evil wolf gray wolf, we have no geographical advantage, and we are mainly infantry, so it is difficult to cooperate with the other party. ”
"That's basically the case, what advice do you have?"
"I think we should support the Silver Wolf Tribe for two reasons. Kelman, another chief of staff of the Military Staff, preempted the lead.
"The first reason, the general has already said, the strength comparison, we join forces with the evil wolf and the gray wolf tribe, which is the icing on the cake, people may not be treated to us, if we cooperate with the silver wolf tribe, it is a charcoal in the snow, as long as his chief is not stupid, he should make the right choice, and in the process of unity, because of the weak strength, not only is it not easy to bite us back, but the heavier we rely on, the easier it is to grasp. ”
"The second reason is because the Silver Wolf Tribe has a wise leader, since the general described it as such, it must have been systematically investigated, and it is much easier to convince a smart person than those guys with a tendon, and the other party is more proficient in the way of trade-offs. ”
"As for the problem that the general is worried about, I don't think it's a problem, now the enemy is clear and I am secret, and it is easier to play to our strengths and avoid weaknesses with our intentions, not to mention, we are beating the side drum, and the silver wolf tribe that wants to annex the other party is the real main force. ”
The young man, who had just joined the military staff not long ago, was at the height of his edge, and he showed his difference in the self-defense counterattack of the barbarians of Kentana in the mountains.
Compared with the maturity and stability of Bull Eriksen, his thinking has the leap of a young man, injecting new vitality into this relatively serious and dull department.
Thinking out of the box does not mean that everything is strange, and the two forces of Odin orcs are treated in a decent manner, and there is no other shortcut, let alone the arrogant idea of eating them all, monopolizing the Kogel grassland, and turning it into a land for the horses of the Eternal Night Army.
The Eternal Night Army is now a little strong, but it is far from the extent of stabbing the hornet's nest of the East Odin Empire.
The three tribes of silver wolf, evil wolf, and gray wolf, even in their heyday, are only medium-sized tribes, and such tribes, in the East Odin Empire, hundreds, not to mention the most powerful royal court, it is said that at the peak, the royal court of the East and West Odin Empire directly owned no less than 300,000 brave warriors, and the herds of cattle and sheep are like clouds on the horizon, and they can't see the edge.
It is true that those big tribes do not look down on the Kogel steppe, which does not mean that they allow foreigners to occupy it.
If the Eternal Night Army dares to do this, it will directly stab the lungs of the East Odin Empire, once the royal court knows, even if it does not personally lead the royal court army to sweep this place, and send a large tribe over casually, it will be enough for the Eternal Night Army to drink a pot.
"I agree with Chief of Staff Kelman and support that the Silver Wolf Tribe can profit more from this. ”
"I also support it, give priority to contacting the Silver Wolf Tribe, if their leader is really wise, otherwise, crush them to death first. ”
"Seconded!"
"Seconded!"
Soon, the top brass of the Eternal Night Army reached a consensus, and they all agreed that uniting the Silver Wolf Tribe to share the other two tribes was the first choice.
In addition to the above two points, there is also the fact that the Silver Wolf Tribe is somewhat aware of the existence of the Eternal Night Group Army because of its proximity to the Odin Grand Canyon, and the Evil Wolf and the Gray Wolf Tribe are still in the dark.
The premise is that the leader of the Silver Wolf Tribe, Lakesh, is as wise and cunning as he was investigated, and does not have such a strong racial concept, which can only be determined after direct contact.
But who to send to the Silver Wolf Tribe is another difficult problem.
The envoys must not only know enough about the Odin orcs, but also have excellent adaptability, and be familiar with the bottom line of the Eternal Night Army to facilitate negotiations.
Calculations come and go, and there are not many suitable people in the entire Eternal Night Army.
Marshall, Ralph, and the like, as soon as they opened their mouths, were blocked back, and their majors were not right, one was now in charge of administration and the other was in charge of intelligence, so it was impossible for them to turn their rounds.
McGee, the Skull-Crusher, thought of the prairie waves, but he really didn't do it as an emissary.
Sean wanted to take the job, but all he got was a no, and meeting an Odin orc chieftain and meeting Sophia, the regent of the Byron Alliance, were completely different things.
Not only is the latter high enough power, but only Sean himself can prove his respect for her.
It's also because the two have completely different styles of doing things.
Meet the regent princess Sophia, even if the two sides can't reach an agreement, the other party is limited by his noble status, and he will not easily make a move to embarrass Sean, the danger index is relatively low, not to mention that there is an Angel Bena in the middle.
Meet an Odin orc chieftain and that's different.
The reputation of the Odin orcs is not to the extent of rotten streets, but it is about the same, and they do not say that they will not be killed, and their attitude towards those lobbyists and messengers is often entirely based on the personal preferences of the chief.
In the future, unless it is to see a big man like Princess Regent Sophia, this kind of mission will basically have nothing to do with Sean, including the previous thing, running alone to jump in the Manyu army territory, even if he spits lotus flowers and says that the dead are alive, others will not allow him to do this.
After all, with the development and growth of the Eternal Night Group Army, his identity is becoming more and more noble, and many times, he no longer represents him personally, but the entire Eternal Night Group Army.
Sean is now more or less conscious of this, trying his best to suppress his thoughts of jumping outside the direct control of the Eternal Night Army, and even in the counterattack against the barbarians of Kentana in the mountains, he did not try to get close to the first line, but sat as a second-line responder, doing some nonsense work with Ben Hebrew.
Even a simple-minded, well-limbed guy like McGee the Skullcrusher knew that Shaun was now a general, but his mission was to be a competent ruler, not a general.
The first thing a good ruler needs to learn is how to delegate power, how to assign others to do things, and leave professional things to professionals.
At present, Sean has done it in some aspects, but it is not very thorough, and there are some things that come to mind first and foremost.
Sean understands the principle of decentralization.
But it's one thing to know, it's another thing to actually do it, especially since Sean still has the concept of these small citizens in his previous life at work, and if he wants to become a qualified ruler, his learning difficulty is higher than others.
Overall, though, progress has been rapid.
"I think I'm the right fit. A stout figure slowly stood up, none other than Erickson, chief of staff of the Military Staff.
Several core high-level leaders of the Eternal Night Group Army quickly exchanged glances, obviously the other party's proposal was a bit unexpected.
Erickson's status in the Eternal Night Army, although not the most special, is also a relatively special one.
Many people who later joined the Eternal Night Army knew that the Military Staff had a chief of staff who was more like a general than a civilian, but they didn't know his former origin and nickname.
But the identity label of his general cannot be removed.
But in real terms, Bull Erikson has not done anything out of the ordinary since he joined the Eternal Night Army.
I don't know if it's because it's nature, or if it's the identity of a general, it makes him cautious, usually taciturn, and his life is basically three points and one line.
Report to the military staff headquarters on time every day, leave work on time, go home on time, eat on time, practice martial arts on time, and go to bed on time.
The laws of life can no longer be regular, and he will not be seen in the internal gatherings of the Eternal Night Group Army unless it is necessary to participate.
As a result of this, he basically had no friends in the Eternal Night Army.
If you really want to do the math, McGee the Skullcrusher should be considered half, a friend of wine and meat plus an opponent who fights with each other.
You don't need to ask about the process, it must be McGee, the skull crusher, licking her face and leaning in front of others.
At the beginning of its establishment, the Eternal Night Army had a limited number of great knights, and he was the only one who could be the opponent of McGee the Skull Crusher at that time.
And the diplomacy that McGee the Skull Crusher is best at, and the only one he is good at, is to open the way with wine and meat.
It's hard for most people to refuse, especially those big knights and champion knights, these humanoid monsters, each of them has a good appetite, even if they are not gluttons, they will never refuse a big meal delivered to their door.
Although Erikson has basically escaped from the war, his personal cultivation has not fallen for a day, and it is really hard to say what level it is now.
When he first started under Bastille Burton, Eriksen was already a veteran knight.
When the Eternal Night Army opened the Devil's Training Program hosted by Darnell, he was consciously excluded because of his ambiguous attitude towards the Eternal Night Army.
However, afterwards, Sean realized that there was something wrong with this, and the other party's attitude was ambiguous.
Therefore, through the hand of McGee, the skull-crusher, the training content and methods were leaked to the bull Erickson, and he accompanied him to practice when he had nothing to do, basically reproducing the scene of the original devil's training plan.
He is still not a champion knight, but there is still a certain chance to master the fusion of spirit and body and touch the threshold of champion knight.
Whether or not this can be done is two worlds.
Regardless, in a short period of time, Bull Eriksen is one of the most promising Knights in the Eternal Night Army.
Bull Erickson also has the advantage that he is very self-aware and knows that the Eternal Night Army lacks trust in him, so he never takes the initiative to ask for assignments, and honestly does his duty and does his job as a military staff officer - to give advice.
This is the first time that this situation has been like this.
And as soon as he made a move, he was his hometown Odin grassland, his own people.
Of course, the difference between the Eastern and Western Odin Empires, between tribes and tribes, is generally indistinguishable from outsiders, anyway, they are all Odin orcs, almost.
Having said that, if you think about it, the other party is really a suitable person, and it can't be a suitable person.
Odin's orc background does not allow him to have much obstacle in communication, although he has lived in the territory of the Byron Alliance for most of his life, and his childhood life has left an indelible mark on him, belonging to the mark of Odin's orcs.
Needless to say, the ability to become the chief of staff of the Eternal Night Group Army as a demoted general is the best proof of this.
Even the young and vigorous Kelman has to admit that the calm and old Eriksen has a lot to learn from him.
The only problem is the trust problem brought about by the identity of the other party's demote.
After a brief eye contact with several other core high-ranking members of the Eternal Night Army, Sean, who was rarely the first to express his position at such a meeting, took the lead and said, "I agree." ”
"I'm in favor of it too. ”
"I'm in favor of it too. ”
This was followed by a series of seconding voices.
This time, Sean fully absorbed the lesson of treating Andes Tiger Tagore in the first place.
Trust is mutual, and someone has to take the first step.
Compared with Tagore at the beginning, Bull Erickson has been in the Eternal Night Army for a longer time, and the bonds with each other are deeper.
If this is the case, if the other party still does not identify with the group of the Eternal Night Army, even if it stays for a long time, it is useless.
If the other party escapes, it will naturally bring a certain impact and leakage to the Eternal Night Army, but it is also within the scope of bearing, because of the problem of trust, some core secrets, although Bull Erickson is in a high position, he has no chance to participate.
He himself also attaches great importance to this area, and rarely inquires about this aspect of things.
Of course, if the other party has the intention to calculate the Eternal Night Group Army, he may have some secret information in his hands.
However, the Eternal Night Army is not too afraid, the internal enemy Walled City Alliance has become fat on the board, how to cut and eat, it all depends on the mood of the Eternal Night Army.
The Manyu military leader was too busy to take care of himself, and the Odin orcs were dismissive.
The natural geographical environment makes them not have much of a foreign enemy in a short period of time.
Even if Bull Eriksen had the information, he would not have a home to sell.
On the other hand, if Bull Erickson can use this incident to prove his recognition and loyalty to the Eternal Night Army.
The Eternal Night Army will have one more all-round compound talent, and it will never be possible to continue to remain in the military staff, so that he can be quiet and salted.
Once the tone is set, the rest is pretty simple.
Everyone speculated and discussed the possible attitude of the Silver Wolf Tribe, and discussed the bottom line of the Eternal Night Army in this regard, how to maximize it, how to cooperate, and so on.
These will be the negotiation criteria for Bull Erickson's envoy to the Silver Wolf Tribe.
And made an emergency plan that the silver wolf tribe might turn around.
