"Lord Duke's courage and wisdom are really beyond my imagination, but I didn't expect that I still underestimated Lord Duke!" John said with a look of amazement and emotion. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Allen, who was sitting across from him, said impatiently, "Why are you again?" I said, "Are you magicians so idle?" And I've already spared you once, but your trespass on the barracks this time won't make it so easy for you to escape. ”

John smiled slightly, ignoring Alan's impatience. "I'm curious, how did the Duke conquer Fort Como, which hadn't fallen for hundreds of years? You must know that Fort Como has resisted the attacks of the Kingdom of Ammusi many times, and even His Majesty Charles I has been killed in the city. ”

"Why should I tell you?"

John kept a smile and shook his head, and said with some helplessness: "If the adults are willing to solve the doubts below, you can give the adults a gift." ”

"Che, what gift can you give?" Alan said disdainfully. Even if I was shocked by John's magic, it was only temporary. John was a magician, but what about a magician? Thousands of years ago, there were far more magicians than there are today, but haven't they been beaten into street rats by the Holy Light?

Therefore, although John once took the initiative to express his intention to Allen, Allen did not take it to heart. And the unclear relationship between John and George VI is also an important reason why Alan does not believe him.

Looking at Allen's contemptuous eyes, John said solemnly: "Roland City! ”

Hahaha! Alan laughed.

"Roland City doesn't need you to send it, I can get it myself!"

"What if I say that George VI will take the initiative to dedicate the city?"

"What do you mean?" A cold glint flashed in Allen's eyes, and his eyes narrowed.

"I can get Roland City without a single soldier, and let George VI take the initiative to sacrifice Roland City."

"Desolation! You think I'm a three-year-old! Alan scolded loudly, but suddenly thought of something, and said gloomily: "Do you want to use magic?" I want to warn you that if you use magic against a nobleman today, you will be wanted by the whole continent tomorrow! ”

"The adults misunderstood, but I understand the rules."

Hearing John's assurance, Alan still stared at John in disbelief.

Seeing this, John continued: "I am willing to use the reputation of Master Alfred as a guarantee. Also, Lord Alfred is under the teacher. ”

"I see." Alan nodded, and only then did he roughly understand the relationship between Alfred and John.

If that's the case, John's proposal should be considered. If you can really take Roland City without blood, it will definitely be a great benefit for yourself.

Originally, Allen's strength was not as good as that of the Rollin Kingdom, coupled with the continuous small battles along the way, and there were only about 10,000 soldiers left who still maintained their combat effectiveness, so it was a little stretched to storm Roland City, not to mention that they would have to rely on such a few people to control the newly occupied large areas of land in the future.

As for the attack on Fort Como, even if you don't say it, it won't be long before it spreads. Rather than that, let's see if what he's saying is true.

After thinking of countermeasures in his heart, Alan did not procrastinate.

"What do you want to know, you ask."

"Thank you, Lord Duke. I wonder how the Duke lured His Highness Renard out of the city to fight? His Highness Renard has been a horse for decades, and I don't believe he is so unwise. With his ability, as long as he defends Fort Como with all his strength, even ten times the enemy will not be able to break through. ”

"Quite simply, it's because we have different operational goals. Fort Como seems to be the choke point to Roland City, and it is an important stronghold of East Lorraine. But it's nothing to me, and it's nothing to Renard. ”

"Why?"

"Because my goal was never a castle or a piece of land in Rollin, I wanted the whole of Rollin! And in Renard's heart, the most important thing is not a castle or a piece of land, but the national fortune of the Rollin Kingdom that has lasted for three hundred years! Since everyone's goal is so obvious, the end result is there, because everything will come down to one person involved in the end. ”

"Your Majesty George VI!"

"That's right! If I capture George VI, who else will dare to confront me in Rollin? If Renard can't even keep George VI, what will he rely on to maintain his kingdom of Lorraine? So when I revealed a little that I was going to attack the royal capital, no matter how calm he was, he couldn't sit still, because once he lost George VI, he lost everything. ”

John had to say with admiration: "The Duke is really resourceful, and he is very human. ”

Alan snorted lightly, holding his head high proudly, almost not looking at the world. But his heart is not as open as he seems.

In fact, Allen didn't plan it early, but the logistics made up the problem. This time, Alan mobilized an army of 20,000 troops, which overdrew the war potential of the Duke of Essis. Therefore, it is also very logistically tight. So much so that after a few days of besieging Fort Como, there was a shortage of food and grass. In desperation, Alan had to take the risk of borrowing Mr. Zhuge from his empty city plan, pretending to lure Renard into battle, but in fact he sent soldiers to collect supplies everywhere.

Later, Alan simply did what he planned and spread false news to Renard's city through LeBlanc's Scarlet Rose Organization. Only then did he succeed in luring Renard out of the city and into Allen's siege net.

It can be said that if it were not forced by the situation, Alan would not be willing to make such a high-risk move. Because if Renard is not careful or can't hold back, and goes out when Eren goes out to collect supplies, then it is very likely to defeat Eren directly.

Of course, the high risk comes with high reward, and Allen's plan succeeded, so Fort Como, which originally required huge casualties and could not necessarily be defeated, was easily captured by Allen.

And these are things that John didn't know. Seeing that Allen lightly conquered a strong fortress that had not fallen for a hundred years, and provoked several heroes to sigh, it fell in an instant. Let John's affirmation of Allen go to the next level.

"Since the duke has solved his doubts, then he will naturally fulfill my promise, please wait for a few days with peace of mind, and I will definitely give Roland City to you!"

"You mean really?"

"Huh." John chuckled, a little star twinkling in his black eyes. "Please don't forget, Lord Duke, is not only a magician, but also a former cabinet minister of the Rollin Kingdom, and is in charge of the military and political power of a country. A mere lobbyist is more than enough for Zaixia. (To be continued.) )
