Chapter 42: Friend's Ransom
Li Mo didn't answer him immediately, but stared at William, silent.
William was stared at all over his body, and he couldn't help but shudder, and said angrily: "What do you want to do?"
"I'm curious, you know it's not easy to attack me. And even if you can win, it will come at a great cost. Then why are you so eager to attack? I don't believe in hatred or honor or anything like that. ”
Li Mo stared at William and said slowly.
After all, when attacking the city for the first time, William should be able to know Li Mo's strength. No matter how much it is underestimated, it is impossible to underestimate it to the extent of desperation.
William seemed to have figured it out at the moment, and he didn't hide it, and said: "For the sake of military merit." ”
"Military merit?" Li Mo thought thoughtfully.
"Without military merit, my position as an heir would be in jeopardy. William said in a deep voice.
Li Mo secretly pondered in his heart, if William was one of the heirs of Lord Razor Ridge, he would indeed need to accumulate military merit and prestige. Before William was trapped, Hussein's own soldiers had no intention of fighting at all.
This also proves that in the army, William's status is not high.
Perhaps, this is also the reason why Hussein is close to William. It is naturally good to be able to get a potential stock and get a return on investment after investment. If you can't get it, you won't lose anything.
Thinking of this, Li Mo smiled and said, "I'm getting more and more interested in you, and I really want to make you a friend." ”
"I don't make friends with enemies. William said coldly.
"Then what if I can give you military merits? a lot of military merits, even to help you build an army, to help you secure the position of successor. Li Mo said with temptation.
William looked at Li Mo with a complicated look.
After two fiascos, William has fully understood that in this land of three ridges, Li Mo is already a newly rising force. There is no doubt that it will only get stronger in the future.
Being able to get such an ally in advance was a temptation that was hard for William to refuse. However, Li Mo is not a wolf clan after all, and his position is unclear, no matter how much William thinks about it, he does not dare to make this decision.
"I don't make friends with enemies, and I can't make friends with anyone other than the wolf clan. William took a deep breath and continued to speak coldly.
"That's a pity!" Li Mo shook his head with a disappointed tone, "Okay, maybe there's still a chance, you will change this opinion." ”
"Let's talk about Razor Ridge. Li Mo sat upright on the chair and said word by word, "According to my intelligence, the Baron of the White Bone has already known the news of your defeat, and has smashed your private residence to announce the revocation of your heirship. ”
"What!?"
William was shocked beyond measure, and what he feared most had happened.
"Don't worry, you can remedy it. Li Mo waved his hand to signal William, calm down, and continued, "Hussein is making amends for you, and your successor position has been retained, but you must return to Razor Ridge immediately. ”
"This ......" William was distraught by this startled situation.
"There's good news. Li Mo leaned over and said with a smile, "We still have the same original price, a ransom of 30,000 gold pounds, and two bone cannons for free." ”
"You returned with the gun truck, so to speak, in order to get the gun car back, and then you were lost and did not return, not captured. With Hussein's vouch for you, you should be able to turn evil into good fortune!"
William looked at Li Mo in a daze, and after a while, he came back to his senses, and couldn't help but say, "You just want money, can you release people, and you can also take away the bones and siege artillery vehicles?"
"Of course. Li Mo said, "The price is fair, and the child is not bullied, which has always been my purpose." We had a deal, and you should know my integrity. ”
"Good. William gritted his teeth and nodded, "I'll pay the ransom and bring the pen." ”
Ten minutes later.
Li Mo took the ransom note and went out with a smile.
"Arrange for a messenger to be delivered to the Burnt Blade Fortress at Razor Ridge and handed over to Hussein. Li Mo handed the ransom note to Orochimaru.
"Yes!" Orochimaru immediately took the order to leave.
On the way back to the city, Kai Ruigan finally couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, why did you lie to that werewolf, we don't have any information about Razor Ridge." ”
"People who fall into the water need a life-saving straw. But this straw can't be given too casually, there must be twists and turns. Just let him know that if he doesn't grasp the straw, he will perish, and he will definitely hold on tightly. ”
Li Mo explained with a smile.
"And what if he goes back to Razor Ridge and knows he's been deceived?" Kerrigan continued.
"William just needs to have a reason to 'go back' and the process doesn't matter. Even if I don't say it, he'll make up his own reasons. The Lord of Razor Ridge inherited the position, and he was willing to pay any price. ”
"Then why not take more ransom money. Medusa continued.
"Don't be in a hurry, cut slowly, and cut while raising. ”
After Li Mo finished speaking, he immediately smiled again: "And I am indeed interested in him, if I can cultivate a spokesperson in Razor Ridge, then the high return will be very worthwhile." ”
"I think with a little more time, we'll be able to take Razor Ridge. Medusa smiled, and even Kerrigan, who was in a-for-tat confrontation with Medusa, nodded when she heard it.
"Surrendering without a fight is the right way. Li Mo said, whether the two female vice-gods can understand it or not, "War will only bring destruction, unless it provokes me, I will not take the initiative to war." ”
"What I need is a complete territory, a large and multiplying people, a well-developed industrial and agricultural and commercial system, and a well-developed social system. ”
"Our goal is the whole world!"
...............
After taking an ideological and political class for the two female deputy gods, Li Mo returned to his office alone.
It was still the same as in the last war, and his large table was full of werewolf blessings. And much more than last time, already in thousands.
Of the six hundred werewolves, more than 160 escaped, nearly 180 were seriously injured and killed, and the rest all became Li Mo's prisoners, waiting to be injected and educated and reformed.
Li Mo rubbed his hands, sat down at the table, and then put his palms on top of this large pile of blessings, and began to "gather wool".
"I shine with the light of the Lord God on all psychic things in the world......"
An obscure and esoteric secret phrase swirls over the piles of blessed objects.
Silently, one blessing after another turned into dust and melted under Li Mo's palm.
"+3...... for Gods from the Ancient Gods"
"+5...... Deity from the Ancient Gods"
"+8...... Deity from the Ancient Gods"
"+2...... Deity from the Ancient Gods"
"+7..... Spirit from the Ancient Gods"
......
Time passed slowly, and all the blessings disappeared without a trace.
Li Mo sensed his balance, and the final number: 4395 (god value).
The original promise to add ten transcendents to Bambia was temporarily abandoned due to the lack of divine value. Now that the local tyrants are up again, they can be open to supply Bambi.
But Li Mo did not get carried away, but took the pen and paper and began to describe the next development plan.
Defeating the Razor Ridge offensive twice, it is already certain that a period of safe development will be obtained. At least, even if the werewolf wants to retaliate again, he has to weigh whether it is worth it.
The forces in the land of the Three Mountains are intertwined, and whoever is weakened will become the target of everyone. It's impossible not to understand this truth in the Razor Ridge wolf clan.
"Steam engines, cement, gunpowder, talent introduction, planning inside the city, new fortresses outside the city, new army combat camps......" Li Mo brushed his pen and wrote one draft after another.
