"Your Majesty, ...... are you?" the Marquis looked puzzled, "as long as you shout, at least half a million troops will respond...... You only need to wait a little, and it will be three months at most, which is enough to take the capital!"

"Five million people. Eddie sighed, "How many of these 500,000 people will die?"

"This ......," the marquis was slightly stunned, "this should be seen in conjunction with the specific battle situation...... However, considering the losses in the process of storming the capital, the number of dead should not be less than 10,000. ”

"Obviously, if you really start a war, you will only have more people killed. Add sighed, "It's all lives...... Is it really necessary to use this method?"

Looking at Black Cliff's still puzzled expression, Eddie knew that this statement would not convince him;

Let's look at it from a different perspective.

"We can't just aim for 'winning'. Add continued patiently explaining, "Even if, as you say, after some fighting, we recaptured the capital...... And then what?"

"You will lead us back to the right path!" the marquis became more and more excited, "the puppet king has gone against the grain, and many people have long been unable to stand it......!"

"Calm, calm. "Let's assume the scenario first;

First, we surrounded the capital with a large army, and then, at great cost, conquered it, and when the victory came, we would surely begin to reckoning and rewarding...... Well, do you think that if I give them a few verbal compliments, will I solve the problem?"

"This ...... Although His Majesty's praise is a great honour for our loyal servants, ......," said the Marquis with some embarrassment, "but some of the petty nobles and soldiers and laborers, they are all in need of payment......

"Exactly. As you know, the capital has been devastated and destroyed, and even after a few months of recovery, it is still a state of great vitality...... And after Tiamat's toss, there shouldn't be much money left in the treasury. Eddie continued, "So, where do you think this reward will come from?"

Black Cliff pondered for a moment, then said, "It should be...... Westside. ”

"Well, that's exactly what they're going to do, and they're going to demand that the Westside pay compensation for Tiamat's retrograde behavior during this time. Add sighed, "In that case, regardless of whether the people there are responsible for Tiamat's ambitions;

The nobles of the other three realms should have disputes again, ......right? Who's going to do more and that?"

The Marquis finally calmed down a little.

"And then, there's a new mess. Add spread his hands, "I've dealt with some things before, but it's such a big burden...... Marquis, you think it's pretty hard to deal with, right?

Fair ...... between the three dukedoms Is this realistic? If you don't handle it well, what will be the consequences?"

"Your prestige...... Is it likely to be damaged?" asked the Marquis tentatively;

"Among the many bad consequences, this is relatively easy to accept. Add adjusted his tone to emphasize the threat, "What if the nobles who fought for me have new ambitions in the process of conquering the capital?"

This seemed a bit out of the ordinary for a loyal marquis.

"Not everyone is as loyal to the royal family as you are, and if they were, Tiamat wouldn't have hurried to the capital and snatched the throne...... Luckily, he was the only one who actually set off, which shows that the others are still more reliable - but only for 'comparison'. Eddie paced slowly beside the Marquis,

"But what if they really took the army with them and saw the situation in the capital?"

"You are saying that the ambitions of other nobles may trigger ...... New unrest?"

"Yes, there are just too many factors of instability. Eddie said as he tapped his finger lightly on his forehead - not only to convince the Marquis, but also to worry about these things himself: "Usually the dukes do not know each other's strength;

However, in case someone behaves weaker this time and consumes more troops...... So, will he become the target of other nobles besides the Western Realm, and how to deal with another big war?"

Black Cliff was completely lost in thought, and Add was relieved.

In fact, in addition to the points raised above, Eddie has one more thing that he is quite worried about...... But it is not easy to explain to the marquis;

That's security.

...... Well, it's personal safety;

If it is said that Tiamat completely tears his face and leads his troops to attack, then there is no need for the other party to stay;

Eighty percent of an existence like him doesn't pay attention to anything...... The most effective approach will be taken directly;

Assassinating yourself is the easiest and most effective.

And to what extent are the assassins of this world able to do it...... lack of understanding;

In that case, there is no doubt that he would put himself in a dangerous position with the Maggies and the Grey Wrists;

According to Black Cliff, he had to be on guard for three months;

In order to boost morale, during these three months, I can't hide all the time, and I have to show my face from time to time—otherwise those nobles will not retreat;

Isn't this just a chance to give those assassins a chance to eat and drink spicy food for the rest of their lives?

Considering the future plans, it is impossible to say this to Black Cliff;

Although Black Cliff looks quite reliable like this, it ...... Can his men be just as reliable?

If he says he is "afraid of being assassinated", he will definitely send a whole bunch of people to protect him;

...... Are these people safe?

It's better to keep a low profile and protect yourself.

"That'...... What do you think?" Black Cliff thought for a while, and felt that what Eddie said made sense;

Eddie didn't criticize him, after all, no matter how much the Marquis conceived of the future plan, he could not have imagined that one day the "mentally handicapped prince" would be able to find himself and regain his consciousness by the way;

As long as he listens to his command, everything is easier to arrange.

"Do you mean, do you mean that we should slow down and make a well-thought-out plan to gradually overthrow the puppet king?" asked the Marquis tentatively;

"No, that's not going to work. Eddie shook his head and said, "Now that his roots in the capital are getting deeper and deeper, if we don't eradicate them soon, there will be no end to the trouble...... It has to be solved as soon as possible, and of course, it won't be war, you just have to do what I tell you to do. ”

"This is nature!" the Marquis nodded repeatedly, "No matter what order Your Majesty gives, we will do our best to complete it!"

"Alright, I'll give the first order. Eddie paused slightly and said,

"Send out the information that 'Your Majesty is in Cangshan City' - find a way to let as many people as possible know and believe. ”
