Chapter 776: Burning the Company Camp?
"Of course not, if you can't complete the quest at this stage, then you won't be able to trigger the next main quest." KP Husky said with a smile.
Liu Xing sighed and said unwillingly: "Then what if we go directly to crusade against Bahamut?" ”
KP Husky said, "If the player does not trigger the next main quest, then the player will not be able to meet Bahamut, so you must help one of the forces to become the king of the kingdom of Skaven." ”
Liu Xing nodded helplessly, looked at Yin En and the others and said: "It seems that it is not a very good choice for us to choose to support Wellington, although we should be able to easily assist Wellington to take the position, but when the time comes, our reputation will be bad, maybe we will become street rats in other countries... ”
"Then should we break the wrist of the strong man and switch directly to Bonaparte?" Yin En said with a frown.
Before Liu Xing could speak, Ding Kun shook his head and said: "Although Bonaparte has already hinted at us, it is still too early for us to switch to Bonaparte, after all, Bonaparte has not officially torn his face with Louis, and there is no reason for us to switch to Bonaparte now, because we are foreigners." ”
"That's right, our current position doesn't allow us to run so quickly to help Bonaparte regain the throne of the Skaven Kingdom, so what we have to do now is to continue to wait and see, maybe everything will still turn around." Zhang Wenbing said with a little hesitation.
Now we can only wait and see what happens.
Twenty days later, because Liu Xing and others followed the imperial mercenaries and were organized as the vanguard force, Liu Xing and the others arrived at the nearest big city to Ruszia ahead of schedule - Romante City.
It is clear that this romantic city is not taken from romance, but belongs to the umlaut of Normandy.
It seems that there is a good chance that the first battle will take place in Romante City.
As "distinguished guests", Liu Xing and others were naturally arranged by Louie to rest in a mansion in Romante City, and Louie prepared a dinner party again, and also invited Liu Xing and others.
Liu Xing and the others knew very well that this should be the first meeting between their group and Wellington.
Therefore, Liu Xing and the others have made a simple plan, that is, after arriving at the banquet hall, they will find a way to determine who Wellington is, and then they will find opportunities to contact Wellington one by one, and it is best to get a chance to meet Wellington privately.
After all, you don't have to think about it to know that Louie, a suspicious patient with a small belly and chicken intestines, will definitely arrange a lot of monitors in the venue of the dinner.
Of course, Liu Xing and the others also planned to spy on Chen Zixuan to see if Chen Zixuan would take this opportunity to meet with Wellington.
If Chen Zixuan can be caught to meet with Wellington, then Liu Xing and others can find an opportunity to "threaten" Chen Zixuan.
As a result, the plan could not keep up with the change, and just as the dinner party was about to begin, a heavy rain suddenly fell from the sky.
Naturally, the dinner was canceled.
What made Liu Xing and others feel speechless was that this heavy rain had been raining for half a month!
In the past half a month, Liu Xing and the others could only rest in the house, which made Liu Xing almost feel that he was going to get moldy.
However, it was also in the past half a month that Yin En and the servants of this mansion were also familiar with each other, so Yin En got a lot of news from these maids.
First of all, the mansion where Liu Xing and the others lived belonged to Wellington's property, but because Wellington lived in the barracks during this time, this mansion was given to Liu Xing and others to rest.
Obviously, this is the opportunity for Liu Xing and others to talk to Wellington.
Then in the mouths of these servants, Wellington is definitely a good young man, and he is very good to the servants at home, so these servants admire Wellington very much and are willing to serve Wellington for a lifetime.
It can be seen that Wellington is still quite popular, so if Wellington rebels, then those around him should choose to follow Wellington.
Last but not least, Wellington is very proficient in the imperial Chinese, and even knows colloquial slang.
On this continent, although each human country has its own language, because of the strength of the empire, the imperial Chinese language is also more popular in other countries, and even in some small countries, the imperial Chinese language is a language that only the aristocracy can learn.
However, although there were many nobles in the Skaven Kingdom who knew the imperial Chinese, these nobles learned the written and official languages of the imperial Chinese, and rarely dabbled in slang or colloquialisms.
That's one of Wellington's flaws.
In addition, a young servant also mentioned that Wellington also set up a temple in his mansion to worship the ancestors of his family, but this is also one of the unique customs of the empire, so the nobles in the Skaven Kingdom will do this at most, and these nobles are basically distributed along the border between the Skaven Kingdom and the Empire.
And Wellington's family was not close to the Empire.
What's more, Wellington's family does not allow outsiders to set foot in the temple, so many people think that there must be some hidden secrets in the Wellington family's temple.
It's a pity that Wellington's mansion is not in Romante City, otherwise Liu Xing and the others would have planned to visit the temple at night, and maybe they could really find something that could prove Wellington's true identity.
"Now we have some reason to guess that Wellington may be a spy for the Empire, but this is just speculation, we can't be sure of Wellington's true identity yet, so we need to gather more information about Wellington." Liu Xing touched his chin and said.
Yin En nodded and said: "Judging from the current situation, Wellington is a very good person in the eyes of the people around him, so as long as he ascends to the heights, at least those people in his territory will follow Wellington with all their hearts, so Wellington himself can organize a lot of troops, and most of them are elite soldiers, after all, the army led by Wellington is a well-deserved elite in the Skaven Kingdom." ”
According to the information Zhang Jingxu received from official channels, the army led by Wellington now can be said to be the strongest army in the Skaven Kingdom, and it is one of the strongest in the Skaven Kingdom in terms of number and quality.
And most importantly, Wellington has installed a lot of his own people in this army, so this army is already Wellington's private army in a sense.
Of course, all this was done by Louie's acquiescence, because on the surface Wellington was a staunch royalist, and in Louis's opinion, he was his most effective helper, so Louis would give power to Wellington.
Unfortunately, Louie didn't know Wellington's true identity.
However, in addition to Wellington's army, there are two main armies currently stationed in Romante, whose generals are named Hay and Rhodes.
Hay is Louie's uncle and the younger brother of the previous King of Skaven, so Hay is naturally in charge of the army directly under the Skaven royal family, so Hay has been regarded as a thorn in the side of Liu Xing and others, because as long as there is no accident, Hay will definitely be on Louie's side, after all, the truth of cold lips and teeth is easy to understand.
And Rhodes is from the first noble family of the Skaven Kingdom, so he is now nominally part of the Skaven Kingdom, but in fact Rhodes has privatized his army, so there is such a rule in the army of Rhodes - the monarch is not subject to the order.
To put it simply, this army only obeys Rhodes' orders.
By the way, Rhodes was Bonaparte's father-in-law.
Therefore, the three main forces in Romante City now represent the three main forces of the Skaven Kingdom - Louis, Bonaparte and Wellington, and these three main forces are the backbone of these three forces, which is related to the strength of the three major forces.
Therefore, in the eyes of Liu Xing and others, if they really want to support Wellington to seize the throne, they must find a way to make the army of Rhodes and Hay suffer heavy losses.
As for the alliance between the Plague Clan and the rebels, they are still cowering in their own territory, but during this time, many ordinary people and soldiers who have been coerced by the rebels have fled to Romante City.
"If nothing else, among the ordinary people and soldiers who have fled back, there will definitely be undercover agents sent by the rebels, after all, this is a great opportunity to break into our interior, whether it is to investigate intelligence or wait for an opportunity to sabotage, this will bring us a lot of trouble, but I don't know why, Louis and the others did not take this matter to heart." Ding Kun said with some concern.
Yin En shrugged his shoulders and said lightly: "It may be that Louis and others think that this is not a big problem, after all, for this kind of large-scale war, the value of intelligence is already very small, because there are too many things you need to consider, and you can't modify your strategy for a certain intelligence; As for sabotage or something, this will not hurt the muscles and bones of the army, and it can even be said that it will have no effect at all, unless the rebels can come and burn the company camp or something. ”
Burn down the company camp?!
Liu Xing and the others couldn't help frowning.
Although it has been raining heavily for half a month, it is still a little hot because it is already the height of summer, and the barracks outside Romandy will be completely dry in a day or two.
Now there are more than 200,000 people stationed outside the city of Romante, so these garrisons have only set up some temporary camps, so these temporary camps are very simple, and there are almost no fire prevention measures.
In addition, in addition to a few wells, there is only a small river that is not too wide flowing from the water source near Romante City, and this small river is also more than two hundred meters away from Romante City.
So to sum up, if the rebels lurk undercover in Romante City find an opportunity to set fire, then those makeshift camps are likely to be caught in flames, and they can't be saved...
There is a good chance that the burning of the company camp will become a reality.
At this time, Yin En also realized this, so he said with some worry: "If those undercover agents are well prepared, it is not impossible to burn the company camp, so we must report this matter to the top." ”
Liu Xing nodded and said: "Let's tell Zhang Jingxu about this matter when we go back, and let Zhang Jingxu find a way to meet Louie and inform him of this, I believe that Louie should not ignore Zhang Jingxu's opinions, and by the way, Zhang Jingxu can also brush up on a wave of prestige." ”
Just do it.
Liu Xing found Zhang Jingxu, who was playing chess with Shen Aotian, and told Zhang Jingxu that the rebels might send undercover agents to burn the company camp.
After pondering for a while, Zhang Jingxu agreed to Liu Xing's request and decided to meet Louis about the matter at tonight's banquet.
Because the counterinsurgency army had already reached the city of Romante, and the heavy rain that had been falling for half a month had finally stopped, Louis decided to hold another banquet tonight.
This time the dinner was held as scheduled.
Liu Xing and the others were still staying in a corner, while Zhang Jingxu took Shen Aotian and other followers to find Louie.
"Do you think Louie will believe what Zhang Jingxu said?" Yin Eun asked.
Liu Xing thought for a while, nodded and said: "I think as long as Louie is not really stupid, then he should know very well that the undercover agents of the rebels are really likely to do this, so Louie should take precautions against this... What's more, if the rebel undercover agent really burns down the company camp, then the counterinsurgency army will not only suffer heavy losses, but also the morale will be greatly affected, and Louie's reputation will plummet again, which is not a situation that Louis wants to see, so I think Louie will arrange for his subordinates to do some superficial work even if he doesn't agree with our idea. ”
Zhang Wenbing on the side nodded, and said seriously: "Let's put an end to this matter for the time being, anyway, we have done what we should do, and those rebels should not be able to set fire in the past two days, so we should go to Ding Kun first to see if he has found Wellington." ”
After entering the banquet scene, Ding Kun went to spy on Chen Zixuan alone, wanting to see if Chen Zixuan would take this opportunity to meet Wellington.
According to the news obtained by Liu Xing and others, Chen Zixuan also stayed in his camp for half a month and did not go out.
However, because there were so many nobles who came to the banquet today, it took Liu Xing and the others a lot of effort to find Ding Kun, and Chen Zixuan had a good conversation with a good-looking man not far away.
Before Liu Xing and the others could ask, Ding Kun said in a low voice: "The person who is chatting with Chen Zixuan now should be Wellington, because I just heard the people next to me say that he is the only future general in the Skaven Kingdom who can compete with Chen Zixuan, so he should be Wellington." ”
"So, are we going up and chime in now?" Yoon Eun said eagerly.
Liu Xing thought for a while, shook his head and said, "It would be a little too deliberate to go up now, so let's wait for Chen Zixuan and them to finish chatting before going their separate ways." ”
