"This is really a problem, the regular army of the Reich is a bit more combat-ready...... I mean, compared to the private army of Bersuvius. ”

August said with a little headache, "Although those wastes have been specially trained, it is still too difficult for them to have combat effectiveness comparable to that of the regular army of the Empire in just ten days. Moreover, the number of monsters in the underworld is not enough to fight against the regular legions of the Empire. ”

"Yes, so we must first deal with the nail that the Empire has driven into the Paracel Province. Andrei said.

"You mean the Earl of Denton?"

August laughed and said: "This is easy to do, although Bo Suwei's private army is very weak, it is enough to be cannon fodder." By the time I charge and kill Denton, the Imperial vanguard will surely be defeated. ”

This tactic is suitable for situations where the enemy's commander-in-chief is not strong. It was impossible for Nicholas IV to lead the imperial army, because Auguste knew that he could not charge into battle and kill a lord.

"It's not hard to defeat Denton, after all, it's just a rare leader. But how can you make Denton worthy?" Andre shook his head.

"Play Denton's value?" August picked his chin, "Well, then change your tactics, secretly kill Denton, and then let the shapeshifters disguise themselves and take advantage of the fact that Nicholas IV has just arrived and be defenseless, and make a fool of him! As long as Nicholas IV is seriously injured, I am sure to defeat the Imperial Legion." ”

"No, I can't. Andrei shook his head.

"Why?" Auguste is a good lord who humbly accepts advice, according to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms he has seen, all the lords who humbly accept advice have succeeded, and those who do not listen to the advice of the strategists are finished.

His favorite Bofu Sun died young because he did not listen to the advice of his advisers.

Andre explained: "First of all, when the Plantagenet Empire investigated the Shapeshifters in the Central Province, it had already expanded the scope of the investigation, and even the heirs were within the inventory! ”

After a pause, Andrei added: "And most importantly, I don't want Nicholas IV to die like this. ”

August tilted his head: "I don't quite understand." ”

"Nicholas IV is dead, the empire is scattered, who will help us consume the strength of the underground monster empire?" Andre sighed, "The current Kane can be seen as a three-legged stand. The Plantagenet Empire is the strongest, just like Cao Mengde in the north, and the underground monsters are currently inferior in strength, just like Sun Zhongmou in Jiangdong, and we are the weakest, we can be seen as the impoverished Liu Xuande before the Battle of Chibi. ”

"In the Red Cliff War, Cao Mengde was originally captured by Zhuge Kongming, but when he was deployed, he deliberately arranged Guan Yunchang in Huarong Dao, why?"

Andre asked himself, "Because he doesn't want Cao Mengde to die." Assuming that without Cao Mengde, Sun Zhongmou would have no one to suppress him, and he would inevitably grow rapidly, and Liu Xuande at that time had no strength to compete with him. ”

Andrei sighed in his heart, being August's think tank is not an easy thing, and he must do what he likes. Knowing that August liked the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Andre also forced himself to read it, so that both of them became Three Kingdoms Experts.

To borrow the analogy of the Three Kingdoms, it is often a shortcut to convince Auguste.

"Well, I think you're right, Nicholas IV should be better alive. August nodded quickly.

"Against the Earl of Denton's vanguard army, let Camille lead the monsters of the underworld to attack," André said, "In a short period of time, it will be beneficial for us to let both sides fight internally." ”

"Camille, the native of Earth?"

August frowned and said, "Isn't this giving up the war contribution to her? ”

When it comes to the contribution of the process of unification, August becomes very sensitive.

"With the Earl of Denton as a bait, there is no fear that Camille will not give it her all. As for the war contribution, don't worry, I've already made arrangements. Andrei's pale face showed a smile that was in his chest.

"Well, just do as you say. By the way, let's kill the old duke quickly, and I won't have to waste two hours of time every day to come and spend time with me. August whispered.

"Don't be in a hurry, at least wait until you have mastered the power of the entire Bo Suwei Territory, and then you can let the old duke ascend to heaven. For now, it is enough to keep him in a coma that is too sick to be able to control, you should do superficial work, and you must gag the mouths of other nobles in order to rightfully grasp power. ”

......

Jinghai Base City, Chaoshen Guild Building.

At the appointed time, Cecilia was summoned back to Earth again.

This time, the news she brought was even more shocking.

"The Earl of Denton was killed in battle, and the Imperial Vanguard was defeated?"

Bai Xiaowen digested this information for a while, and said slowly: "The enemy's reaction speed is too fast......

"What do you mean?" asked Li Shuyi.

"As soon as there was a move on the side of the Central Province, the Xisha Province reacted and preemptively routed the vanguard army of the Earl of Denton...... If this is not a coincidence, at least it can explain one thing, that is, there are still enemies lurking in the central province! Moreover, it is the awakened of the hostile faction that has mastered the special communication channel!"

Li Shuyi nodded: "The main road between Xisha and the Central Province has been blocked and controlled, and it stands to reason that the information should not be transmitted so quickly." ”

Cecilia said: "There is one detail. According to the reports of the defeated vanguard soldiers, the surprise attack was carried out by an army of underground monsters, but the Earl of Denton seemed to be prepared for it, leading a small group of elites to break through and break out of the battlefield. After receiving this report, Nicholas IV thought that Denton was alive, but then learned that the other party had been killed in battle. ”

"Wait a minute......" Bai Xiaowen keenly captured something, "How did Nicholas IV get the news of Denton's death? Could it be that some of the elites who followed Denton's breakthrough survived and fled back to Nicholas?"

"No, the elite are all gone. ”

Cecilia said: "The reason why we know that Denton died in battle is because Nicholas IV has the Oath Stone of Earl Denton in his hands. With Denton's death, the Oath Stone broke. At the moment of the break, Nicholas IV saw a scene from the Earl of Denton before his death through the picture displayed by the Oath Stone. ”

The Oath Stone is similar to the "Vigilance Stone", but in addition to conveying the message of life and death, it can also allow the wielder to see some images of the victim before death, which is considered a more high-end magic item.

"What did he see?" Bai Xiaowen asked.
