Five days later, on the outskirts of Cangshan City.

After staying in Blazing City for three days and giving several speeches, the group rode the carriage arranged by Dark Cloud and came to Cangshan City;

The pendant he had begged for before had been given to the gray wrist, and the old man's spirit seemed to be a little better because of this;

Before leaving Blazing City, Add hadn't forgotten to say a few nice words about the Purification Temple in front of Viscount Darkcloud - of course, he didn't tell them the specifics, otherwise he would have caused them trouble.

Although the journey to Cangshan City is long, it is not boring due to the large number of people.

"Uh-oh-oh-oh——! is this Marquis City!

Through the car window, the orange wind looked at the city wall of Cangshan City in the distance;

The dark wall looks particularly heavy and solemn in the light of the setting sun, its height is more than ten meters, the thickness is unknown, but it is enough for a small group of soldiers to pass side by side widely, not to mention the Monster, it is not easy to take this place with siege equipment;

"This looks much more magnificent than the Earl's City. Eclipse Moon sighed, "In a small place like Steel and Wood City, you have to worry about the Demon Beast tearing down the city wall...... Even if you let those berserk, mutant monsters gnaw here, you won't be able to get a few stones if you grind off your claws......"

Eddie is thinking about something more serious at this moment-

What kind of team does it take to take down such a wall?

The kind of soldier team I saw in Fengzhen, when I really wanted to attack the city, it was estimated that the time to take two breaths would evaporate;

With such a tall city wall, protected by magic arrays and equipment, it is impossible to take it without preparing the corresponding siege equipment;

Moreover, the sophisticated equipment also needs to be operated by well-trained soldiers, and then consider the battle before approaching the city wall and after breaking through the city wall, without tens of thousands of people, I am afraid that there is no way to pose a threat here;

Eddie had inquired before, and when the title reached the level of "Marquis", the number of soldiers under his command was in tens of thousands;

A nobleman like Black Cliff who can wrestle with the duke has at least 50,000 soldiers under his command.

...... This is true of the Marquis City, but what about the Duke's City?

The four dukes' cities, the most prosperous and the most fortified under the capital, will only be larger in size than here, and the capital will be a level larger than them.

If it weren't for the reason for the extermination, it is estimated that if the Duke of Tiamat in the west had a few darts, he would not have had the pit to lead a large army to occupy the capital - he would not have been able to take it at all.

So, do you really want to organize a huge team and then forcibly take the capital?

How many people will die in the process, and can they afford to take this responsibility?

When I was in Cangliu City before, those guards who laughed with themselves might be easily killed by an arrow or a stone when they really fought;

If you really want the nobles to fight for themselves with their soldiers, then ...... Even if you win a miserable victory, how should you "make up" for them?

Having so many people sacrifice for themselves is definitely not an acceptable plan;

Moreover, the success of this plan is not high, and he is not suitable for leading troops to fight, and it is impossible for him to be the opponent of the notorious Tiamat - if they really meet on the battlefield, he is likely to be defeated.

"Young Master......" Nightstar seemed to see through Eddie's concerns, "You don't need to worry too much, if one path is unacceptable, how about trying to choose another way?"

“...... Well. Eddie calmed his breath slightly.

So, what you should consider is how to turn things around from this trajectory.

The one thing that had been determined before was definitely not for the regent to play around with himself.

Now that he already knew how wonderful it was to be a regent, it was absolutely impossible for him to go back to being the Duke of the West—and even if he did, there would be a lot of people who would not be at ease;

Even if he really doesn't mean to make a comeback, his subordinates will miss the "good old days" of the past, and after he returns to power, his subordinates will worry about his counterattack......

In other words, the current situation is either that he is killed or that he is killed.

By the time he entered the capital with his army, the outcome of this survival was already decided.

This seemingly cruel choice, if compared with the "starting a war" just now, it seems to be many levels milder-

All you need to do is kill the Duke of Tiamat.

Whew, the problem seems to be getting simpler;

But just letting him disappear won't solve all the problems;

It is necessary to regain control of the capital - this involves a new point;

Let his men lose faith in the status quo.

Things seem to be getting complicated again. Add's right fingers tapped lightly against his forehead.

This is obviously not something that can be done with words;

It would have to be done by relying on the "general trend" of the kingdom, in other words, to make them understand that it would be better to obey and return to the West.

...... The difficulty of this is actually unknown. Add thought.

Gotta look at the remaining three...... Or what is the attitude of the two dukes;

This news should be available from the Marquis of Black Cliff or the Duke of the South.

How...... There is currently too little information available to extrapolate;

So let's make assumptions first......

There are so many assumptions to be made here.

Considering the original relationship between a duke and Tiamat, and then adding the new influence that Tiamat had when he became regent, and then applying this impression to the original relationship, it is also necessary to consider the loyalty and strength of these dukes to the royal family......

Depending on the situation, the number of contingencies that can be set up is simply ......

"Poof. ”

Eddie's thoughts were interrupted by the sound of Fire Phoenix's laughter;

"What's wrong?" Eddie's brow furrowed slightly.

Forget it, I'm just a little tired of thinking, and it's not bad to have a little chat with her to soothe her;

However, with her character, the result of the conversation is ......

"It's nothing, I just feel ...... It turns out that Eddie, you also have such a deep thinking time. Huofeng still smiled, "I thought you had always been that confident." ”

"That's just you didn't see it......" Add sighed, "You're still too late, you haven't experienced a lot of situations......"

No, if it were her, there would be no need to go through a lot.

"Take it easy, you always think too much about things beforehand, aren't you tired?" Huo Feng said and spread her hands, "Could it be that you calculated that we would help you from the beginning?"

Huofeng's words made Eddie slightly stunned.

"Poof...... It can't hurt your pride, does it?, do you need me to be serious and apologize to you?"

"No, it's not necessary. Add shook his head, much more relaxed

"Thank you for the reminder. ”

According to the situation after that, it will be modified again......
