Chapter 522: Hudson's Suggestion
Hudson tugged at the scarf around his neck, a little frenetic, the flurry of news he had received from Locke's mouth had already thrown him apart.
If it's just about the army, he can give some advice, but these things that his superiors tell him are completely beyond this scope.
After thinking about it, he set his eyes on Locke. Since Locke can tell himself, then he will more or less have a solution.
"Have you told anyone about this?"
Locke shook his head, beckoning to Anderson and gesturing to the parchment scroll on the ground. Anderson came up with the soldiers, who carefully put the piles of parchment rolls into a large box, and carried them out.
"The only people who know about this are you, me, and Demytia, as well as some people from the intelligence department." Locke turned his head to look at Hudson with a serious expression, "This matter is very important, and it can't be leaked." Otherwise..... Our chances are slim. ”
"I tell you because you, like me, are all blessed by the High Lord Mograini. Moreover, you are my deputy, and I have many actions that cannot be bypassed you. You may wonder why I didn't tell Bridget. ”
Hudson nodded, he did have doubts, if it was the closest person to kiss, Bridget was the closest person to Locke.
"For her, what happened within our Crusaders ......" Locke organized his words, and he looked up at Hudson, "Grand Commander Dassault Khan, one of the most powerful paladins of the Knights of the Silver Hand, a devout believer in the Holy Light, who was parasitized by demonic killing, and it would undoubtedly be a disaster for her if I told her about it." She is a pure believer in the Light, and she will question her faith because of it, and her faith will collapse... If a paladin has doubts about the Light of his faith, then the consequences ....."
Locke didn't continue, and Hudson nodded knowingly. He didn't never see a paladin who had lost his faith.
The Paladin is strictly a formidable warrior. They are favored by the Light and thus able to fight using the Light's abilities. However, if the paladin becomes suspicious of the light he believes in, and therefore no longer believes in the light, then the paladin will also be abandoned by the light and will no longer be able to use the light to fight.
In human society, the light is the light that guides the way in the darkness, like the ubiquitous air in the world. You can't imagine how humanity could live on this malevolent continent without the Light, without this spiritual sustenance.
And the paladin, who has lost the support of the Holy Light, everyone understands what it means. A person who has been forsaken by the Light, unless you do not believe in the Light in the first place, you will stand in opposition to all those who believe in the Light, and will be spurned by all.
Just like Tirio, he can only live incognito in the corners of the country.
"Besides, Bridget is the daughter of the General, and I'm not sure if the demon has corrupted our other leaders. You know, the Light tells me that the Dreadlord is the best villain in the universe at playing with the emotions of living beings! Locke sighed and looked out the door, "If I told her about it, whether she would have told his father or not, it's also unknown." ”
"So what are we going to do?" Hudson asked again, and he accepted Locke's claim. In fact, as long as you put aside the distractions in your heart and observe the evidence in your hands with a normal mind, the Grand Commander is indeed different from before, and it can be said that it has changed too much.
"My plan ......." Locke took a deep breath, suppressing the tremors in his heart.
"When we get to the Hearthplace, I'll meet with Esenlion and Abidis respectively before the official meeting begins, to see how they react, and if they're not already corrupted, Demitia and I will debunk the demon at the meeting, and the evidence available will prove something. If they've been corrupted by demons....."
"I'll take this opportunity to cut off the Tirisfal Glade from the Hearth Valley while the Silver Hand members are all meeting in the Fireplace Valley......
Locke was silent, and Hudson kept silent and stared into Locke's eyes.
"I will leave you and the Cavalry Legion in Brill to monitor the movements of all the legions in the Tirisfal Glade. Brill's Second Legionnaires should acquiesce to your presence, if nothing else. But the soldiers of the Second Army elsewhere, I can't say for sure. ”
"I will use the orders of the Crusader headquarters to have the heralds give the Fourth Legion an order to stay where they are, while the Fifth Legion leaves the Haru Gorge and enters the Undead Fortress." Locke looked up at Hudson solemnly, "If I'm sure the other leaders have been corrupted in Hearthvale, I'll send a herald to inform you as soon as possible." ”
"Whether you're pretending to be a military order, or whatever, the Fourth Legion must be put on standby in the gallon granary. I'll send someone to control the level of the Undead Fortress, and no one will be able to pass through it at that time. ”
"If possible, I'd like you to contact the Second Legion soldiers and other reserve legions stationed in other areas. It's better to keep them where they are and don't move, I hope you can convince them to ......"
"Great Lord, if you want to start a civil war, I will support you." Hudson suddenly interrupted Locke's words, and Hudson continued, "However, I think it is difficult for the two of us to accomplish this matter alone. There are too many omissions in the plan you are talking about. ”
Locke looked at Hudson calmly, pondering the meaning of his words.
To illustrate his thoughts, Hudson walked over to the bulletin board in City Hall where the map was placed, and he pulled back the curtain that covered it.
On this large Crusader-controlled map, the Silverpine Forest, the Tirisfal Glades, and the Eastern Lordaeron Region are clearly printed on it. In particular, on this map, the locations and locations of the various legions of the Crusaders are clearly marked.
"If you want to take control of the Tirisfar, then we must use three or four of our main legions to cut off the Tirisfara Glade and the towns from Gadar and the Valley of the Hearth." Hudson pointed with the stick in his hand at the distance between the Second and Fourth Legions and the Reserve Corps on Tirisfarin. He picked up the three blue discs next to them, which represented 6, 7, and 8, and pasted them on the nodes between them.
"In this case, we must let Paul and them know the news, otherwise, it will have unforeseen consequences! No one knows what they think. ”
"The main army of our Silver Pine Forest has been relocated so that there are not enough troops in our hinterland. The Fifth Legion must remain in Iva to guard the base for us, if any other foreign enemy attacks us at this time......" Hudson pointed the stick in his hand at the Scourge of Thurbercher, he looked at the pensive Locke and continued, "In view of this, it is necessary for us to expand at least two main combat legions from the three reserve legions. They need to be placed at the junction of our borders with the undead of the Scourge. ”
"As for the combat effectiveness of the newly expanded corps, this problem is not big, the soldiers in the reserve are all trained by our veterans, and often participate in the operation to exterminate the gnolls, and our front-line air force will cover them."
"In this case, the problem of our silver pine forest is temporarily solved. We looked back at the Tirisfal Glades. Hudson looked at Locke solemnly, "We know that the Grand Commander is a demon, and there may be something wrong with the upper echelons of our crusaders, but the people don't know, they will definitely think that our actions are treason!" At this time, the attitude of the noble council is very important, and none of us knows how they will react......"
Locke frowned secretly, he really didn't think too far, his original plan was to only fight a surprise attack, relying on Hudson's familiarity with the Second Legion, relying on their relationship with the Grand Lord Mograine, to win the Second Legion over.
Use the Second Legion and Iva Cavalry to cut off the Tirisfard Glade from Eastern Lordaeron, and then turn back and slowly straighten out the other legions in the Tirisfarn.
But it seems that what I think is a little simpler. According to Hudson, if you want to do it, then you have to do your best, otherwise .....
"Great Lord, I know you have a special intelligence unit, and it's lurking in the security JU," Rock heard Hudson's words in thought, and he turned his gaze to the veteran general who focused on military affairs.
"I know, I shouldn't say much, but I know it. Because it's not a secret, because you, Great Lord, have never hidden it in front of me. If our plans are to be more perfectly realized, then their role will be highlighted," Hudson said to Locke solemnly, "Intelligence must always be at the forefront, and if you really intend to do so, then now you must have Anderson send his men to prepare for what we have just planned." ”
"Great Lord, whether this matter is something you came up with on the spot, or something that you have been planning for a long time, it can't avoid the support of the people below you. So," Hudson said, pointing out the door, and said to Locke solemnly, "you need to call them all in and make it clear to them, because sooner or later you will have to let them know." Moreover, the sooner you know, the better, if you really want to act, the soldiers can be blinded for a while, but after the situation is clear, it must be explained in time! And spread the word to the population in Tirisfa and the Silver Pines Forest, and even in the entire Crusader-controlled area! ”
"The Grand Commander is a demon!"
In this way, our actions are not just! That's not illegal, either! We are saving the Crusaders! Save the kingdom!! ”
