Chapter 200: Inflated Ambition
Before Governor Bernier died, Hindlaire's situation was completely three-legged. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info Bernier controls the capital city of Sinderella and is the most powerful warlord. He had at least 20,000 warriors at his disposal, and most of Schindlaire's warlords were on his orders.
The second is his strong support for Ozer, in terms of pure troops, Ozer himself is not less than Bernier, not to mention that according to the agreement, all the warlords of Hindlaire must send a part of their troops to Ozer's tent to listen to orders, as the price of his resistance to the Eastern orcs. If you count all this, Governor Ozer has an army of more than 30,000 men in his hands all year round, and there is no doubt that Hindlaire is the strongest military force.
The third person is the Governor of Conley in Chaos City. He has an entire council of Shadoworcers at his disposal, the strongest spell power group in Hindlaire, and fifteen thousand soldiers are a force to be reckoned with.
Bernier died, and his army was torn apart, some of which were taken over by Conry, and some of which were largely wiped out in the battle against Conley. Only some of the original Bernier supporters, such as the likes of Morno, were under pressure from Conry under the leaderless group. Governor Oze, on the other hand, was overwhelmed by the orc army that was approaching the city, and although he was angry with Kangri, he was really powerless.
However, now it can be seen that the threat of the orcs has been lifted, and when this orc army is wiped out, there is no way to threaten Hindlaire within ten years, and Ozer, the locked tiger, has opened the cage. Without restraints, he would never have been able to watch Conry continue to sit firmly in Cinderella's seat.
A battle between dragons and tigers is absolutely unavoidable.
Dane already knew that the fight between Conry and Mornow would be the next trend for Schindlaire for a long time. Until the winner is decided, there will be no peace in this desolate country. Whether it is a great war that engulfs the entire country, or a military confrontation that lasts for many years, in short, there will never be a day when one side falls.
And what he thinks about is what position he should be in in the next ten years?
Neutrality is impossible. If you want to strictly abide by neutrality, you must have the strength of neutrality, unless it is so strong that no one dares to provoke, otherwise in this land with war genes, no one can maintain a neutral attitude. In a short period of time, he will not be able to have that kind of strength. Not to mention, participating in the Eastern Crusade this time did Ou Ze a great favor, which in itself is a kind of side-picking attitude, Ou Ze will treat him as his own person, and in Kang Li's eyes, Dane must be an object that needs to be eliminated.
Standing in the same trench as Ozer is an inevitable choice for him now. But wanting to stand in the same trench has a different posture. He couldn't accept becoming Ozer's subordinate, not to mention the loss of freedom, which also affected his future development. Collaborations and alliances are ideal, but this is ideal for Dane, not for Ozer.
Alliance, but also have the strength of the alliance. No matter how much success and fame Dane had, he was only a mercenary leaderβat least in the eyes of the other warlords of Sindlaire. He was able to rely on the core strength of 300 people and the temporary recruitment of more than 200 idle mercenaries to form an alliance with Morno, because he had a good personal relationship with Morno in his early years, and Morno himself could only be regarded as a small and medium-sized warlord, with a total strength of only 3,000 troops.
But he will never rely on such strength to reach an alliance with Ou Ze, in the past, he did not have the ability to have any friendship with Ou Ze, the gap between the two sides is too big, and cooperation will only become a joke.
But if he had become the lord of Castle Whitewolf, Rotten Wolf Town, and Shawan Harbor, things would have been completely different.
And to take control of these three towns, Chappell is a man who must be convinced.
Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived. Dane noticed a figure sitting in front of him, and when he looked up, he saw Chappell's haggard face.
He sat in front of Dane and didn't speak, while Dane stared at him, wondering how to break the silence, especially how to convince Chappell to follow him.
Before he could think about it, Chappell spoke: "Dane, honestly, what are your plans now?" β
"Me?" Dane didn't quite grasp what Chapur meant, and said casually, "I don't know." β
Chappell was silent for a while, and then said, "Just like you said before, the general was indeed bewitched by Marin. Before the battle with the Orc Vanguard, Marin had a private conversation with the General, saying that after the end of this war, Governor Ozer would not only hand over the three castles and twenty villages including Hanhai Fort to General Morno, but also fully support us in taking Shawan Harbor. Moreover, if His Excellency is willing to do his best to help Governor Ozer take out the orcs, Governor Ozer promises to hand over the entire Beast Blood Castle and all the castles near the Beast Blood Castle to General Morno after killing Marin. At that time, Ozer will be the governor of Cinderella, ruling over the whole of Hindlaire, just like the former governor of Bernier; And General Morno will serve as the governor of the Beast Blood Castle, just like Ozer is in his current position. β
Dane raised his eyebrows, he guessed that Marin represented Governor Ozer and must have had some agreement with Morno in private, but he didn't expect that Ozer was willing to pay such a big price.
"No wonder ......," said Dane, bowing his head, "no wonder General Mornow would make a desperate gamble to continue into this troubled water even if he did not listen to dissuasion, and the price offered by Ozer was really tempting enough." β
Hearing Dane mention this, Chappell suddenly said with a look of resentment: "! What kind of condition is this? It's clear that we're going to die! β
His emotions became angry: "I really didn't expect that General Morno would rather put his brothers' lives on the line for such conditions!" If you hadn't reminded me before, when Morno was in a hurry to let us continue to rush forward last night, I temporarily withdrew with my troops, and it is estimated that none of the soldiers of White Wolf Fort would have survived today! β
This sentence was said viciously, quite clearly showing Chapelle's dissatisfaction with General Morno.
Dane heard this, and he inadvertently narrowed his eyes, thoughtful. He wanted to test it a little further. (To be continued.) )
