"Is that so?" said the same thing, but the expressions on their faces were completely different.

Ivan seemed to have expected everything, and although he said it, there was no surprise in his expression. The face of the red cloth is much more grim, and it should be something to consider. And in Aqi's expression, there was only a bit of loneliness.

Perhaps the fact that Lu Wu was about to be appointed governor made her feel an unspeakable bitterness. The Evening Star family has been planning on this matter for a long time, but ...... The so-called man is not as good as the sky.

This time, in terms of what has been made public, it is explained in this way: Stygian's army used extremely bold sneak attack tactics, and the main force of the front line attracted the troops of Kecha Koat, while an elite unit attacked Kecha Koat's lair with the momentum of a black tiger. At the moment of crisis, Lu Wu saved Kaicha Goat, and then it happened that the old woman's side went over again, and with the cooperation of several parties, he finally repelled the offensive of the Stygian Moon's side. After weighing it thoroughly, Kecha Goat finally decided to form an alliance with Hui Yue's side. Of course, the demands are also high.

A story that is simple to understand, logical, and flawless. As for the details and whether they are true or not, it is important to let everyone know what happened and the reasons for the change in the relationship between friend and foe. Well, in fact, it wasn't made up by anyone, but by the time the dust settled, and the old woman and Lu Wu's side returned to the Floating Fortress, the story had been created, modified, and perfected, and circulated throughout the Legion.

In return for Lu Wu, Kecha Goat offered to make Lu Wu the governor of the Banshee Gate.

This is of course a great opportunity for Lu Wu. Don't look at the mouths of those high-level warlocks, the governor is not worth three or five dollars. But from the perspective of an ordinary person without magical powers, becoming the governor of a place is almost the same as reaching the end and peak of his own promotion. And more than that, it's a position with real power. By Earth's standards, a warlord is a prince, a relative independent military force in his hands, with a great deal of autonomy within his own jurisdiction. Even in terms of authority, the Governor has reached a pinnacle of authority, and it is easy to get things that others can only look at and drool.

Even better, the position is hereditary. It is not the mayor or senior official of modern China, and they will be transferred at the end of their term. Rather, they are eligible to "recommend" the next one. Although it may seem to have nothing to do with hereditary status on paper, in reality, you can "recommend" your own son - unless the person being recommended has a clear criminal charge, the top brass will accept such a recommendation, without exception.

So don't look at the fact that the governorships were originally appointed on the basis of merit, performance, or something else, but in the end, they became almost all the property of the noble house. And having the position of a governor is equivalent to the noble family having a support, a material foundation. Even if he loses the favor of Huiyue one day, he will not have the situation of falling from heaven to hell in an instant, and he has ample bargaining chips and room for maneuver.

In fact, it is very rare for such a family to completely lose the favor of Huiyue. Because they can recruit foreign warlocks into their families - warlocks are also human beings, they do not live alone from their social environment, and they also care about money and power. When a noble family reaches out to you and lets you join it, providing you with better development prospects, a better living environment, and even a beautiful and considerate lover, how can there be two answers to this multiple-choice question? Joining a family does not make a warlock lose anything, it will only give him a lot.

Anyone can naturally deduce the ultimate consequence of the long maintenance of such a system: there will never be a shortage of outstanding people who have obtained the title and are qualified to start a family, and every era will keep popping up. But the scope of the world is so large, there are so many territories, neither Huiyue nor Hades can overwhelm anyone, and the territorial changes are limited, so the position of the governor is limited after all. A turnip and a pit, and it is not an ordinary difficulty for latecomers to win the position of governor for the family.

Even a place like the Banshee's Gate, which is remote, desolate, affected by alienation, and on the front line of the war between the two sides, will attract the attention of those who care. Of course, the really strong and well-qualified families may not look down on here, but those families who are not strong and have limited hole cards are another matter.

So when the master made this request, in fact, things were not as simple as Lu Wu originally imagined - although there was no real difficulty for the old woman, it was not the kind of frivolous and worthless trivial matter. Lu Wu originally thought that this matter would be easily accepted, but with the position of Huiyue's high-level leaders, without enough exchange of interests, this kind of request would not be possible.

Unless something else is present.

This may be the reason why several of his subordinates did not show too much excitement. If Lu Wu takes the position, a few of them will definitely have a lot of benefits as their cronies and subordinates who have taken refuge in the morning. However, the difficulty is great. Because what Lu Wu said just now is very clear, it is very likely that the regular army will not give strong support. This meant that they had to drive Stygian's forces out of the Banshee's Gate alone, without outside help. That's how you can get the position.

Or if this kind of thing is done, Lu Wu will also get such an appointment, without too many other conditions.

It may sound like a completely impossible thing. If there was no floating fortress, then probably both Hongyi and Ivan would have bluntly persuaded Lu Wu to give up this crazy plan - this is no different from looking for death by himself. But with the Floating Fortress, the chances of success go from nothing to very small.

"Is that what you're going to do?" asked Ivan. "By our legion?"

"Yes, that's what I plan. Lu Wu replied.

This was not an informal meeting in private, but a military meeting in the true sense of the word. All the middle and high-ranking members of the legion are here, standing in a circle. Lu Wu had to admit that these were all unfamiliar officers who were promoted at the suggestion of the red clothes (and maybe Ivan). It can be said that Lu Wu is actually a very incompetent legion commander, because he can't even match the looks and names of his subordinates.

This declaration caused a small commotion among his subordinates. Some were excited, some were suspicious, and some looked completely unconvinced.

"The Stygian camp is now in the Banshee Gate's forces......" Redcoat spoke. "According to the information received from some sources, there should be more than a hundred regiments. Among them were at least ten legions of warlocks. Although they had suffered heavy losses in their previous battles with Kechagoat, they were still strong enough to hold their positions, with plenty of heavy equipment and at least one floating fortress as a support force...... There were many more before, but all of them were shot down in the battle with Kechagoat. Such a military power...... It's beyond our reach. ”

This is almost a one-to-one comparison of combat power, and in this case, the number one general in the world is useless. In fact, if it weren't for the central Kaicha Goat, Hades' forces would have completely crushed the defense line on Huiyue's side. There is no need for any special tactical command ability, just relying on superior combat power, the pile can also pile up the troops of Huiyue.

"But if Kecha Goyat helps, things won't be that difficult......"

As mentioned earlier, now everyone knows that in the previous battle, Lu Wu did Kecha Goat a great favor (and maybe even saved him once), so Kecha Goat must be willing to help. Don't look at such a huge disparity in strength, but that is not based on the premise of calculating the strength of Kecha Goat. If you add those exotic technology weapons in Kecha Goat, as well as the powerful Destroyer army, then the balance of power will be reversed. It became that Lu Wu's side had a huge advantage, and the army of the Stygian Moon only had the ability to parry, and had no power to fight back.

"I'm sorry, but while Kecha Goatre is happy to help, he can only provide us with a small team of Destroyers. Lu Wu said immediately. "Of course, he is willing to allow us to move freely in the area under his control. ”

A few of the "small team ......" who were originally excited also immediately stopped. The Destroyer is a great infantryman, but at the end of the day, it's just a little better than exoskeleton armor. Oh, of course, it has a great advantage for warlocks because of the anti-magic metal, but this one has to be said separately.

No matter how strong the troops are, there is no point in the small number. The so-called ant bite elephant is the best explanation of this situation. The Stygian faction had previously invested a number of powerful warlocks in their battles with Kechagoat. It's a pity that even the most powerful warlock will be finished if he really faces the tactics of the sea of people who are going forward and succeeding. As for the reason, regardless of other reasons, the most basic point is that mana itself is a consumable and will be depleted.

A hundredfold difference in combat power...... Then there is only one feasible tactical strategy in theory, and that is the so-called decapitation tactic. Send elite squads to kill or even hijack enemy commanders, resulting in chaos throughout the enemy's army. If you can take advantage of the chaos to attack, then even if you have a hundredfold advantage in combat power, you can only retreat. It's a classic, an old-fashioned strategy, but one that still works today. But here's the thing - in this day and age, the troops with this ability are called the Dark Rangers, and they belong to the Stygian faction. Huiyue's side, hehe, there are no excellent special forces capable of performing this kind of mission. Even if there were, it wouldn't be placed in a ghost place like the Banshee's Gate where birds don't.

In the conference room, there were many discussions.

The meeting was held in a conference room inside the Floating Fortress, and since they were all their own people, there were no special precautions. Everyone also ignored the two Radiant Moon Warlocks, intentionally or unintentionally. After using magic to enhance their hearing, they have the ability to hear the content of the meeting from afar.

Of course, then again, it's useless to take precautions. As long as the two warlocks wanted to, they naturally had the ability to know all the details of this meeting.

"One to one hundred difference in strength," although Diemeng is not familiar with military command, as a warlock, she was once trained as a warrior. Not to mention that even scientific researchers are familiar with combat in this war-torn era. "It's a complete waste of time, no chance at all...... Unless Kecha Goyat gives more assistance, at least enough weapons and equipment, there is no chance of victory. ”

"No," the old woman looked thoughtful in surprise. "There really is a little bit of a chance. ”
