Chapter 72, The Importance of Intelligence
The middle of winter has arrived, and the earth is snow-white.
Blackstone Mountain.
At lunchtime, smoke rose from the castle, soldiers began to change shifts on the women's wall, and the busy Langton and others left the workshop.
After entering the Black Rock Fort, everyone experienced several enemy sieges.
But those attacks were more of a temptation than to create defeats and spread news that would appeal to the Woodford family.
So, from the Sombra Legion to ordinary soldiers.
Victory comes easily!
The victory gave the soldiers confidence, but for the city defense, seeing the unkillable Sombra soldiers, as well as the enemy's transcendents, no one dared to be careless.
Therefore.
The soldiers would not have eaten far from the city walls.
Tywin, Sauron, Chris, they even moved the long table under the walls.
Eat with all the soldiers in the wind and snow!
Chris, who had been sitting at the long table with the soldiers, hadn't seen his brother for a few days, and when he saw Ranton coming, his face suddenly frowned.
"Gabry, you haven't showered in a few days?"
"It's all stinky!"
"Go take a shower and eat again, or we won't be able to eat next to you!"
Hearing this, Lan Dun, who was either busy striking iron and making weapons in the workshop, or was busy cultivating, and didn't even have time to sleep, smiled bitterly: "Isn't it okay to go after eating?"
"After all, I haven't eaten in a few days......"
"It's okay, it's all a bunch of stinky men. Anne next to her just smiled at this, and then Langton's clothes shrunk and asked, "Gabry, have you grown taller again?"
"The clothes were fine, but the pants were already showing the ankles. β
Since breaking through the limit and being promoted to the Transcendent, Langton has developed for the second time!
And you can grow a few centimeters taller in a few days!
Seeing this, Tithuba put down the dishes, got up and said, "I made a pair of wolfskin pants a few days ago, and I will bring them to you to try on right away." β
Anne was ambitious, but Tituba did not want to lag behind her, because she was not very accustomed to war, and if she was in a state of forbidden demons, she did not have much force, and her bow and crossbow were not very good, so she became the great steward of everyone's life, and was responsible for the things that she was best at sewing and mending.
Taking the pants that Tithuba ran to get them, Langton was very grateful: "If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't even have pants to wear." β
Tithuba didn't take credit: "Carrie also helped, don't forget to thank her." β
"I will. Lanton smiled and nodded.
"Not verbal thanks. Tituba shook her head: "She's a girl, she shouldn't stay in the workshop with you all day, you should give her a holiday!"
Anne rarely agrees with Tithuba's words: "She's right. β
"Well, I will. β
Lacking fuels such as firewood and coal, Langton needs Carrie's flame ability, otherwise Sauron will not be able to keep himself busy, and as for Andrew, he is not interested in spending more time in the workshop for the freshness of striking iron and manufacturing.
"Gabry, I'll call Sauron and Darth to the conference room later. β
After eating, Tywin came over and said a word to Lanton, and then busied himself to inspect the city defenses.
Ravenna Theron gathered a large army and moved the people to Port Stuart, but the enemy took advantage of the situation to take advantage of the Black Rock Fort, and then the news of the successive defeats has spread throughout the Northland with those who want to do it.
Woodford's liaison with the men and the enemy will arrive at any time.
They had to be busy!
The howling cold wind made the canopy hunt rattle.
Eating outside was not enjoyable, and Langton hurried it out like the others, then returned to his room to take a shower, changed into well-fitting pants, and went to the workshop to find Sauron and Dath for a meeting.
"Finished spreading?"
As soon as he walked into the conference room, Sauron asked directly, "What do you need me to do?"
Tywin nodded, "According to the spies I quietly sent out, the territory outside the central part has spread the news that we have occupied Black Rock Fort and defeated the rebels several times. β
Moreover, the forced relocation of the Theron Poison Woman has provoked public outrage, leading to an uprising in the port of Stuart. β
Darth Vader frowned, "Ravenna Theron is now going to deal with the people of the uprising?"
"I don't know. Tywin shook his head, "That's all the spy has brought back. β
"I don't think the enemy will deal with the rebels, and will let them continue to escalate the situation," Sauron said. β
Tywin said with a look of course, "If it were me, I would do the same, and take the opportunity to remove all the hidden dangers at once." β
Darth: "So, we're going to figure out where the enemy is and find out their hole cards." β
"To prevent being caught off guard?"
Tywin nodded, "I need you." β
With the abilities of an ordinary soldier, there is not much information that can be detected, so he needs to act strong to find out how the enemy can eliminate all threats in one fell swoop.
Also get in touch with the Woodford family!
Langton was a little embarrassed: "But they can't leave." β
The research in the workshop has made great progress, and the manufacturing work cannot be carried out without two people.
Tywin didn't even glance at Langton, ignoring his words and the weapons being made.
Sauron and Darth understand the importance of allies.
After glancing at each other, the black warrior said, "I'll investigate." β
"Let's go now!"
The emptied Black Rock Fort lacked food and winter supplies, time was not on their side, and the real situation was unclear, Tywin opened his mouth, Sauron needed to stay and watch out for accidents, and it was the duty of Darth to do so.
Black winds swept through the snow.
The samurai vanished into a phantom and disappeared into the Black Rock Mountain.
Seeing Tithvader leave the castle, Ranton was very depressed, without this dark knight from the world of Star Wars, the work of the workshop could not be carried out for the time being.
"I really want to make a weapon. β
Sauron next to him shook his head and said, "Don't be too naΓ―ve, even if your god of war makes it, we lack the most important gunpowder." β
Langton also understood that without saltpeter, nitrate was made from disgusting dung pit soil, and that little gunpowder was simply not enough to support the consumption of a war.
But artillery is used at a critical moment, and it can definitely play a decisive role!
Since force has not been able to achieve invincibility that crushes everything.
It's time to take advantage of all the advantages!
"War is really too complicated. β
Hearing Langton's sigh, Tywin, who came over, said, "War is never easy. β
"There's a lot to learn. β
Hearing this, Lan Dun smiled bitterly and nodded: "Yes, everything has to be done with your brain, and you can't be negligent in the slightest." β
......
......
"Respectfully, Duchess of the Northlands, we have ascertained the location of the Woodford family, who have gone into hiding overseas!"
Hearing the report of the scouts under the command of Quasimonado Kahn, Ravenna Theron in the main seat in the big tent suddenly became solemn, she did not think that those rats actually left the northern land and fled to the sea.
Old General Gusta's face was gloomy: "Those betrayers have surrounded the port of Stuart, and if Woodford attacks from the sea, our men will definitely not be able to hold ......"
"And the little girl from the Stuart family appeared. β
"We now have only the option of eliminating Tywin Lannister who has taken over Blackrock Fort and capturing Isabella Stuart, or we can choose to eliminate the Woodfords and then clear out the rebels. β
"There's no way to solve all of these things together. β
Hearing this, Ravenna shook the handle of the chair vigorously and asked the old general, "Which side do you think is best to deal with first?"
Old Gusta mused, "The Woodford horror will not come to the Midlands, and I think the unknown enemy is more terrifying than those rats. β
Ravenna: "Deal with Tywin Lannister?"
Old Gusta: "The most important thing is to find Isabella Stuart's girl, I think these people are targeting her!"
"I'm not worried about the Woodford rats. β
"If that Tywin Lannister is really royal. β
"We're afraid we're going to have to face a royal army......"
Ravenna nodded, "I understand." β
"So, you must find Isabella!"
"But before that. β
"I've heard something bad. β
As she spoke, the Duchess of the Northland scanned the many generals in the tent with an extremely cold gaze.
Old Gusta sighed, got up and stood beside the duchess, and asked in a deep voice, "Since you have the courage to make mistakes, don't you have the courage to stand up now?"
Hearing this, all the generals looked at each other.
But no one stepped forward.
The goat shortbearded general asked blankly, "Duchess, old general, I don't know what you are talking about?"
At the mention of this, Ravenna's face immediately became terrifyingly gloomy: "As we all know, I am a woman. β
"What are your fetishes? β
"I really don't care!"
"No matter how disgusting!"
"As long as things are hidden, I will turn a blind eye as if it never happened!"
"But!"
"What has happened recently is a provocation to me!"
Old Gusta also said: "After the treacherous fog, the population of the Northland does not survive one in ten, and in the future twenty years of recuperation, it may not restore the population before the treacherous fog." β
"Because some people's hobbies ......"
"Seven young maids, a ten-year-old girl, were tortured to death during this time!"
"I'll give you one last chance, and I'll stand up and admit my mistake right away!"
The old general shouted loudly, but many generals were silent in the tent, and all the generals who were from civilian backgrounds and were not heinous looked angry.
Only a few people showed apprehension on their faces.
"I've given me the opportunity. β
Seeing that the culprit did not react, Old Gusta also lost his patience: "Jax, stand up!"
was named, and Jax in the crowd suddenly trembled like a sieve.
Many generals pushed him out without saying a word, all of them disdained to be with him, and their cold eyes were full of murderous intent.
"General, these things are all rumors......"
"Duchess, I was the first to be loyal to you......"
"You must believe me......"
Jax was powerless to argue.
"What will the soldiers think if they let you go?" Ravenna asked with a blank face, "How will I rule the Northlands in the future?"
"How do you convince your people?"
Jax understood that he was dead.
For this reason, I regret that I hurt people under the nose of the duchess, and I don't know how I found them one after another and couldn't stop!
Since you're going to die......
Being watched by everyone with murderous intent, Jax suddenly calmed down, regained his senses, and put away his thoughts of resisting, quibbling and running away.
I'm going to pull more people to die together!
"Duchess, old general, before I die, I have something to say!"
Ravenna said coldly: "This will be your last words!"
With permission, Jax took a deep breath, turned his head to look around at the general, and said, "I'm not a good person. β
"But among these people, there are people like me!"
"That girl is Planck's masterpiece!"
"Two of the women, Starr and Mikeson, also have a copy!"
"It's slander!" "There's no such thing!" "I don't!
Hearing Jax's words, Planck, Starr, and Maxon immediately panicked, and they all retorted excitedly.
They are all generals in one formation.
Meet frequently!
The people in the tent had more or less heard about the four, and Ravenna Theron as the monarch and Gusta as the commander also knew something about them.
For the three of them to retort excitedly, Ravenna's tone was still cold: "You are not innocent!"
Michaelson fell to the ground on his knees: "No, Duchess, I have been wronged!"
Starr's arm trembled: "Duchess, I have no credit and hard work~"
Planck panicked: "Duchess, my father died in battle for you, I was the first to climb to the head of Black Rock Castle, you can't punish me for these trivial things!
As a soldier, as a commander, Old Gusta, who was strict in governing the army, would not listen to the nonsense of the three people, withdrew his knife-like gaze, and said to his subordinates in the tent, "Take them down." β
"Deal with it according to military law!"
"What?" "No!" "General, I'm innocent!"
For the four scum, the generals and guards who were given the order would not be polite.
Jax was going to pull the three of them to die together.
But Michaelson, who shouted injustice, Starr, who begged for mercy, and Planck, who retorted, were unwilling to die, and in the face of many generals and soldiers with awe-inspiring murderous intent, they knew that there was no place here, and they were unwilling to die, and boundless anger suddenly arose in their hearts, and they wanted to fight to the death!
"Want to do it?"
All present were battle-hardened warriors.
Mikeson, Starr, and Planck exchanged glances, and everyone immediately understood what their intentions were.
"Rush!" "Kill out!" "Death to those who stand in my way!"
"Look for death!"
Fighting broke out inside the tent.
Outside the tent, Loki, who was delivering wine to the guards in a daze, heard the commotion inside, and immediately showed a smile that the conspiracy had succeeded, wiped the sweat from his head, and turned around and left the camp.
The handsome bard soon disappeared into the snowstorm.
Right now.
The Woodfords fled overseas.
Langton: They couldn't be reached.
The only descendants of the Stuart family appeared.
Disrupting the enemy's movements, without a mind gem, without regaining his full strength, Loki has reached the limit in the enemy camp.
So there's no point in staying here.
Since Isabella Stuart is important.
He will never let the enemy find it first.
will help Langton, Loki is not only afraid of the powerful ability of his resurrection summoning, but also wants to realize his own ambitions.
Unable to become the God-King of Asgard.
He wants to become the god king of this other world!
Even in this world, build a brand new Asgard!
Become a Founder!
Pioneers too!
More conquerors!
...... To be continued......
I've been in a bad state lately, in fact, the state has not been right in the last two years, insomnia, anxiety and everything is normal, I haven't laughed happily for a long time, and I don't want to laugh, I feel that I can't be interested in anything, and I will be cranky if I don't concentrate, so I chose codewords.
But suddenly, I feel that code words are boring, code words are very tired, life is also very tired, and there is no meaning, life is in a hurry for decades, and I feel that early death and late death are the same.
It's as if I've seen through everything, my family, my money, I don't care about anything, I don't want anything anymore.
Then, I got nervous and walked to the lake, but I didn't have the courage to jump, so I chose to go step by step.
Then, wet and detained by the police uncle for one night.
By now, I feel tired of being alive, so the fat man asked me to continue to code words, saying that I sit in a daze is also sitting, and lying down to sleep for a day is also lying down, even if it doesn't make sense, I can use code words to kill time......
Actually, I don't want to talk about these things, but there have been no updates during this time, and the next updates will not be stable.
If you like it, just keep it going.
I try to finish it in my lifetime.
