"This ...... What the hell are you ......?"

The Marquis couldn't understand Eddie's thoughts for a moment,

"You're saying that you're going to make your location known to everyone......? You're going to be in a very dangerous situation! And the puppet king will definitely let me hand over His Majesty at once...... We're going to lose time to prepare!"

Eddie was clear about what he meant by "time to prepare";

This time of preparation refers to the time to gather the soldiers around him;

The meaning of the marquis is to fight directly with Tiamat.

In his opinion, Eddie would never be able to hand it over - that would be precarious, and he could be killed at any time;

Then there will be a war between the two sides, and instead of calling the whole kingdom to attack the capital, the king will send a large army to the south in the name of righteousness...... It was nothing short of a disaster.

"No, you're mistaken. Add smiled and shook his head, "We're not here to fight the Puppet King. You know, it's better to attack the capital directly, at least we have reinforcements. ”

"What do you mean, then......?" asked the Marquis, with some curiosity;

"I mean, don't wait for Tiamat to give the order, you're going to take a stand and be ready to hand me over...... Well, it's not really sent to the capital, you just release the news. ”

"Just to release the news......" The Marquis was completely confused.

What's the use of that? to make the puppet king happy?

"Hmm...... Black Cliff, the loyalty of the Duke of the South is definitely guaranteed, right?" asked Add;

"It's nature. Black Cliff nodded, "Although there is a slight gap between me and the Duke, I am supporting the royal family...... We are all absolutely loyal!"

This, from the information I had gotten, was already a good guess, Eddie thought;

To be able to tolerate the presence of such a large number of troops in a marquis city because of the royal family is not a small concession;

Moreover, they have not started a war all this time - you know, if the duke really wants to make a move against the marquis, he can directly find a reason related to the prince and support the regent, and he can rely on the support sent by Tiamat to win over the southern border and take the side of the marquis's city, right?

But he did not, and the duke's position was self-evident.

Even if the non-interest-related factor of "loyalty" is excluded, the three duke-level can be trusted;

They were already the duke, the highest nobles, and it was impossible for them to go any further, and Tiamat wanted to ascend to the throne, and it was certainly impossible for him to give up the throne;

Even if he was wooed, what the duke could get, that is, some small profits, would not be able to get the decisive resources enough to subvert the Western Realm and the royal domain...... This is clear to all;

On the contrary, it is possible that there is a fear that they will rebel and that Tiamat will seize their resources to the West, so all the dukes and ans need not worry.

Therefore, this is not to confirm with Black Cliff, but to start from this point and convince him.

"As long as he can pledge to be loyal enough, the whole project can continue. Eddie nodded, "After you sent this news, you began to reorganize the soldiers, and gather the nobles and their troops in the nearby cities and towns to Cangshan City;

After that, the news was released that this army would be used to escort me to the capital. ”

"This ......" The Marquis was already confused, he didn't know what Eddie was going to do.

"Well, in that case, the Duke of the South shouldn't sit idly by, right?" Eddie continued, "Guess what the Duke of the South would do if he found out about your plans?"

"With the Duke's ......temperament," replied Black Cliff after a moment's thought, "he will not sit idly by; ”

"Well, that's fine. ”

Add's answer made Black Cliff more and more suspicious that he had misheard, wasn't it?

"How many soldiers are they going to sort out?" continued Eddie;

Anyway, it must be more than Marquis City, Eddie thought, as long as this is satisfied.

"There will be at least 150,000, which can still be called for in the short term. Black Cliff frowned and said, "After that, there will be more soldiers coming in a steady stream...... Reaching 200,000 is not an uncommon situation. You, really intending to ...... Let me fight the Duke?"

"Of course not. Eddie rolled his eyes, "I don't agree with letting you attack the capital, how can you let you kill each other in the south; ”

"Ah...... this ......"

"Of course, you have to prepare a secret letter in advance. "This letter will be crucial to the success of the whole project, which can be said to be the most important...... There's that kind of magic device between you and the Duke of the South that can communicate confidentially, right?"

"Of course, only the Duke can know the news, and the degree of secrecy is absolutely guaranteed. The Marquis frowned and nodded—what exactly did Your Majesty want to say?

"All you have to do is tell him my true intentions, and you pretend to fight. ”

As he spoke, Eddie smiled a slightly mysterious,

"You are in the city, the duke's men are outside the city, and both sides are making a posture to fight, but neither of them will do anything. ”

"This ...... And what is this for?"

"The plan goes on. "When the stalemate between the two sides reaches a certain point, you have to pretend to back down and hand over me in the city to the Duke." ”

The Marquis no longer asked, he just listened quietly, believing that Eddie would explain all the plans to him. ”

"At that point, let the Duke send an elite squad to escort me back to the Duke's City, while the army will remain here and stalemate with you, as if they are going to take this place once and for all. "Well, that's the plan;

So, what do you think you would do if you were Tiamat?"

"Ah......" The Marquis, who was full of confidence just now, was now stumped by Eddie's sudden question;

"I'm going to sort it out for you. Eddie smiled and said, "Now, one of his subordinates, the Duke of Death's Heart, has placed the person of his dreams in the city, and the Duke's city is still quite empty;

The entire southern frontier was concentrated in a distant place because of the dispute between the duke and the marquis......; Now, isn't that a pretty good chance? a chance to take the Duke of the South?"

The Marquis was stunned.

"Of course, to welcome Your Majesty and take the opportunity to occupy the Duke of the Southern Territory, such an important matter, you must not just send someone over, right?" Eddie finally said the core of his plan,

"That's our chance. ”
