If your mind can accommodate infinite experiences, and although it is sophisticated, it can maintain simplicity, then this is simplicity.

- Krishnamurti (the greatest spiritual teacher of the twentieth century)

Under the starry sky of the moon and stars, in the camp of the Celestial Dragon Army, ten miles away at the southern end of the D'Orville Gorge, Adrien came to Bai Feng's military tent with a magic secret letter and reported to Bai Feng: "General, there is an urgent military information from the hidden guard. ”

Bai Feng, who was thinking about the battle situation against the magic map, beckoned Adrion to send the magic secret letter over and asked him, "Adrien, what have the 10,000 Knights of Light of the Holy See been doing in Besançon Province recently?"

"General, since our army left the province of Besançon, the army of the Holy See has remained unmoved. Adrian, who reported the truth, added: "However, their holy lady Charlotte did not know why, and returned to the Holy See alone. ”

"As long as Archbishop Scola and the Son of Charola remain, the whereabouts of the others will not matter for the time being. Bai Feng was not surprised by the early departure of the Holy Maiden Charlotte, he turned to ask about another matter: "How is the handover with the Dark Council?"

"The people of the Dark Council have not broken the promise made by their Holy Maiden, ten beast tamers and two hundred third-level thundercloud leopards have been secretly transported to the thundercloud base, and the beast hunting team of thirty battlefield ghosts and netting fighters can capture thirty thundercloud leopards every month. ”

"Is there only thirty thundercloud leopards per month?" This number said by Adrien made Bai Feng, who wanted to form a team of demonic beast cavalry, very dissatisfied, and in this regard, Bai Feng's attitude was: "Raise the number of battlefield ghosts to fifty, and capture at least fifty thundercloud leopards every month." ”

"General, it only takes one order to raise the battlefield ghost to fifty people, and it is not difficult to capture fifty thundercloud leopards every month, but there are only ten beast tamers in our thundercloud base, and we can only tame a maximum of twenty thundercloud leopards every month, and it is useless to have more magical beasts. ”

"On the beast tamer's side, can't the people sent by Yue'er and Binglan learn their secret arts?" Adrien's words made Bai Feng frown again, you know, in order to steal the secret art from the beast tamers of the Dark Council, he specially asked Yue'er and Binglan for help.

"Those ten beast tamers from the Dark Council will deliberately avoid our people every time they tame the beasts, and if our people force their way close, they will immediately stop training, and we will not have a chance to get close to them. ”

"Regarding the secret art of the beast tamers, I will personally communicate with the upper echelons of their Dark Council when I have time. After learning that his own people had no way to steal the secret art, Bai Feng had no choice but to compromise and said, "The extra thundercloud leopard will be imprisoned first, and we will be able to use it sooner or later." ”

"No!"

Adrien, who had nothing else to do, was just about to turn around and leave the military tent, when Bai Feng, who seemed to think of something, asked him again: "By the way, how is the combat effectiveness of the newly trained Thundercloud Cavalry?

"General, if you only look at the individual combat power, the thundercloud cavalry with the third-level thundercloud leopard as a mount is definitely superior to the wolf cavalry of the orc empire, but the number of thundercloud cavalry is too small and the training is not easy, I am afraid it will be difficult to form an army alone in a short period of time. ”

"Since the number of thundercloud cavalry is not destined to be too many, let's increase the combat effectiveness of each thundercloud cavalry as much as possible. Bai Feng, who had high hopes for the Thundercloud Cavalry, immediately gave his own order: "Raise the minimum selection standard for Thundercloud Knights to high-level knights." ”

"General, if the minimum selection standard for Thundercloud Knights is raised to high-level knights now, what about the original two hundred and forty Thundercloud Cavalry in the realm of intermediate knights?

"The most important thing we lack is time. Bai Feng, who was going to directly kick these mid-level knights out of the ranks of the Thundercloud Knights, decided to give them a chance after thinking about it: "Give them three months, and after three months, all those who don't meet the standards will be demoted to reserve knights." ”

Knowing that Bai Feng's order would kick most of the active Thundercloud Knights out of the ranks of the Thundercloud Knights, Adrien, who was the battlefield ghost commander and the temporary commander of the Thundercloud Knights, still responded without hesitation: "No!"

It wasn't until after Adrien left the military tent that Bai Feng opened the magic secret letter he sent, and the information that could be sent by the secret guard as an emergency military intelligence was not an ordinary thing, and it might even be a major event that affected the situation in the empire.

Sure enough, after Bai Feng, who opened the magic secret letter, carefully browsed the contents of the secret letter, the shock in his heart was simply beyond words;

Five days earlier, at the Imperial Council, the Imperial Prime Minister, Duke Patel, had suddenly proposed a proposal proposing that Charlemagne divide the four princes into the Imperial Frontier in order to re-establish royal prestige in the Frontier and consolidate the Empire's rule over the Frontier.

According to common sense, such a bill, which is obviously suspected of expanding the battle for the heir to the throne, is simply impossible to win the support of the imperial magnates, but the fact is that the five most powerful imperial ministers in the imperial capital all came out to support Duke Patel's proposal.

After that, without waiting for the shocked magnates of the imperial capital to react, Charlemagne gave his own reply, he did not directly agree to Duke Patel's proposal, but only said that after the empire ended the war in the north, he would consider dividing the princes to go to the border.

Charlemagne's ambiguous attitude made all the imperial magnates who participated in the court meeting instantly understand that Duke Patel's proposal was secretly instructed by Charlemagne himself, which means that as soon as the war in the north of the empire is over, the princes will become kings!

The princes who are trapped in the imperial capital, no matter how much they fight to the death, they can't shake the thousand-year-old foundation of the empire; once they become the princes with real power on one side, then no one can control the struggle between them.

The magnates of the imperial capital only knew that Charlemagne was going to divide his four princes to the imperial border, but Ames, who was Charlemagne's absolute confidant, even told Bai Feng about the specific division method that Charlemagne had made a detailed plan.

William, the eldest prince of the empire, who had lost his foundation in the eastern part of the empire, would be divided into the four northwestern provinces, the richest of all the frontier regions of the empire, and the six northern provinces, which were almost ravaged by the steppe cavalry, would be ruled by the most unpopular fifth prince, Philip.

The six eastern provinces of the empire, which have the largest garrison and face the military threat of the orc empire at all times, will be led by the eighth prince Prolog, who is currently the strongest overall strength, and the fourth prince Harry, who has also lost his original foundation, will be in the three southwestern provinces that are second only to the four northwestern provinces in terms of wealth.

After learning about Charlemagne's specific arrangements from Ames, Bai Feng only needed to look at the territory of the empire to know that Charlemagne was not really old and confused, and his division and authorization of the four princes were obviously controlled within a controllable range.

In addition to the central provinces, which were the core of the empire, the 10 southern provinces and the 11 western provinces, which had not experienced war, were still under the control of Charlemagne.
