Chapter 15: Murder by the Sword
"You're not the only ones who can do business." Offe Mondridge hurriedly avoided his edge and tried to start fooling. "I have to say that the goods you produce are very popular with the shipowners, and they can make a lot of profits by selling them. But I can't control it. โ
Taking the emissary as a starting point, the Envoy should not know much about the power system of the Bilunar Church, and of course Offe Mondridge could not let the other party know the truth about his recent swaggering return from Lancasbourne Island.
"If I'm not mistaken, in your sect, the power of the ship's owner has to be seen with a magnifying glass, right?" Dr. Wei confidently raised his tone by three points and continued, "Even the navy, which is in the same class as your subordinates, can't keep your position, right?" โ
Silent. The director endured embarrassment and anger, and kept reminding himself to be calm, to be calm, and suppressed the desire to order the guards to kill the two people in front of him.
The director bowed his head and held out his hand. The guards pulled their weapons out and prepared to wait for the order to kill the emissaryโa normal person would think, right?
"You go out first. Yes, retreat out of the hallway. The interval between a few seconds was as long as a few minutes, and Offe Mondridge made a surprising decision.
"Your Excellency...... Are you okay? "You didn't hit the cybernetic magic, did you? ......" All sorts of questions poured out of the guards' faces, and anyone could have felt that the director's decision was not his own.
"What the chief is saying is an order. Lanchemanr, take your guards and retreat for the time being. You shouldn't know what the following conversation is about. Offe Mondridge waved his hand a little annoyed, letting them know that these secrets did him no good. Lancheman, if you don't feel at ease, go out and call Vejerry in. Yes, it doesn't matter if he is armed. โ
The guards carried out the orders suspiciously, and one by one stepped out of the room.
"Yes, you're right." Offy Mondrich made sure everyone was out of the door, and pulled out his wand against the wall outside. "High-end sound isolation!"
"Messenger, you are right, I do need the luxury goods you produce to maintain my current position, so I accept this deal. I'd like to get some kickbacks from you, though. โ
Dr. Wei listened to a word he had never heard before, and tilted his head to ask Frank.
"Oh what about that word...... How so? That's how it is to return a portion of the purchase price to the buyer. โ
When Dr. Wei heard half of it, he couldn't help but slap his hands and laugh: "It's really rare for me to hear about it, and there is such a thing as 'kickbacks' in this world?" Oh, human nature is really the same. So, Lord Commander of the Western Expeditionary Army, what kind of kickback do you want? โ
Before he could see why the yellow-skinned messenger burst into an incomprehensible laugh, Offe Mondridge pondered for a moment.
"Your army immediately attacked, pushing the front to the capital. Until you're satisfied with the amount of magic powder input, can you do it? โ
The general of the Western Expeditionary Army actually asked the enemy army to march to destroy his own troops, was Eufe Mondridge crazy? Frank's eyes twinkled with disbelief in himself and horror at the Western Expeditionary Army.
"As I said, I like smart people. Director, there's a faction that consumes magic powder for nothing and doesn't obey your faction's orders, right? Kill them with our own strength, and you will have more resources at your disposal, what a good calculation! Wonderful, really wonderful! โ
If anyone on the Twin Moons hears this, it is considered gross treason. But the water spilled by the married daughter, Eufe Mondrich has long been on the road of no return. It's like a tomb robber entering the tomb and opening the sarcophagus with trepidation.
"Okay, I accept it." Dr. Wei stood up with a thud and stretched out his right hand. "Happy working with, my trading partner."
The buttocks of the director of the Western Expeditionary Army had long been stuck to the breeches and chair because of cold sweat, and he opened the chair and breeches with one hand, and also stretched out his right hand. "Let's forget for a moment, then, that we are enemies."
As soon as the hands of the two parties let go, they invariably saw Vejerry coming in through the door. The approaching figures of the two sides startled Wei Geri at first, but with his expression and movements, it looked like he had negotiated a dealโhe was relieved that he had taken the initiative to bring the messenger in, at least not to be disposed of by the director.
"Oh, Vejeri, you've come just in time. Bring a carriage with curtains. "Offy Mondrich hurriedly gave the order to transfer the messenger away." Prepare a carriage with curtains, the old way. Take the messengers to the sixth place, do no harm to them, and set them up properly. At the same time, you are personally responsible for the security there. โ
After arranging the plan, he turned his head to Dr. Wei again: "Two envoys, there will be someone to continue the discussion with you in the evening." Let's leave it at that. For your safety, please bring my hood and have Vergery tie a slipknot for you, I hope you understand. โ
The two had already vaguely guessed Eupher Mondridge's worries and his plan, and though it was disrespectful to the messenger, they had no choice but to give up. After all, deep behind enemy lines, human lives are at stake, and things like face come second.
Eufe Mondridge categorically did not dare to kill the two emissaries, and at best sent them back safely after the negotiations broke down. If he were to kill a figure who seemed to be in a position to be in a position to be able to mobilize an army, just thinking about the overwhelming aura of the Iron Bird's destruction of everything was not something he and the people behind him could bear. If the other party wants to get magic fans, it is not very appropriate, then their real purpose?
Can't count. I really can't count. I can't figure out the true meaning of the yellow-skinned guy who calls his name in monosyllables. Of course, there must have been a whole group behind the man, and they had set a trap that Ophel Mondridge had to step into.
Wait a minute. The director's heart was cold. The other party has been expecting his "kickback", could it be that this kickback request is the state of affairs he expects? So to put it this way - the thrilling answer is clear.
"Damn it...... We are being toyed with as if in the palm of their hand, why did I propose to eliminate the front-line army? Witnessing Veggery, who had made the envoy go away like a prisoner to be tortured, Ofemitsch pounded heavily on the wall, letting the pain wash his body, even though he had already confirmed that such an act was the most likely victory in the end - and the best way to improve the strength of his army, but why did he so easily confirm the ultimate fate of tens of thousands of troops? If this was a general like Rucha, he would have flatly rejected it a long time ago!
If it is said that ordinary gambling will show the results of the game and the victory and defeat of both sides in each game - Eufe Mondrich is like constantly lifting the lid of the gambling game against the shady curtain, he can only use his limited judgment and knowledge to indicate his general direction, but he cannot use the victory or defeat to correct his own course of progress. He had to guess in his mind like a rider a chess game, the possible moves of his opponents or allies, such as Sielta, the Warrior and Wizard factions on the front line of the Western Expeditionary Army, and the headquarters of the Bilunar Church - the slightest miscalculation could be doomed.
Borrowing from the enemy to eliminate a large number of mages who have a problem with their actions, while at the same time closing the distance between the warrior factions - this can be done entirely by relying on one's own identity, by mobilizing the troops' own formations and defense zones with each other. And the result of this is that a large amount of magic powder and food can be spared for oneself, and at that time, whether it is strengthening the food of the magic spear team under his command or expanding the equipment scale of the magic spear team, it will no longer be a task that can only be completed with careful calculation.
At the same time, the guy who has a great opinion of him after hearing about the existence of the Demon Lance Team will also disappear, "The Demon Lance Team also wants to replace the magician?!" That's not something that a guy with family honor can do! "There is no technical content at all in such a crude thing, and there is no pride of a magician! "That guy who climbed up with only the prestige of his family should have gotten out of here! Blind with such a beautiful wife! Statements like this will soon turn into a prayer for the Magic Spear Team to appear on stage as soon as possible.
Odd Mondrich struggled to calm himself down, pondering his route map as he walked through the streets. Returning to Lancas this time made him understand one thing - even if the Western Expeditionary Army fought until only Elta's locally recruited magic spear team remained, as long as it won the final victory and made the living gods happy enough, then this was an acceptable price.
In other words, the matter of hundreds of thousands of dead and wounded, as long as it is not shaken to the enjoyment of Lord God, their brows will not be furrowed for more than ten seconds. As long as you coax them like children, your life and future will at least survive under the wings of God, and if you coax them well, you can soar.
No, no, no, you don't need that. Eufael Mondridge passes through the city gates. Shook his head. At that point, Soaring's status was far less enticing than being able to satisfy his curiosity - more so the sense of accomplishment he had achieved in replacing the mage team with the magic spear team, which was mixed with the curiosity to be able to peek into Sielta's secret treasures.
Although the magic spear team still can't reach the power of the enemy's weapons, at least they can fight at the same level. Replacing the fighting power of an enemy army with the lives of ten Elta's militiamen, he has an absolute advantage in a war of attrition with the majority of Elta's territory - not to mention that after he has pleased the characters in the temple, he has a whole world of resources at his disposal with their instructions!
Isn't it for one's own pleasure to play with backward, pedantic, inflexible magicians like children, and then to twist off the arrogant heads of these arrogant enemies? It's so much fun! His legs tensed slightly, and the steed continued to gallop forward towards the shooting range.
