Chapter 172: The Past

"Two bad news, and one good news, which one do you want to hear first?"

In the makeshift conference room at Hukou Pass, Javier said this to his men in a calm tone.

The four people below exchanged glances, and in the end, it was Arowen who took the lead in speaking: "Personally, I prefer to leave the surprise last, so let's talk about the bad news first." ”

"One of the bad news is that the revolutionary army has launched a rebellion on the southeast border, and at this time it is advancing in the direction of the imperial capital with amazing momentum, and now it has captured several cities and passes one after another, and it will not be long before they will march to the last line of defense of the imperial capital - Bishui Pass."

"Tsk, has this day finally come?" Arowen was speechless, rubbing his chin and muttering, "The three armed forces are attacking from different directions at the same time, so that the empire has to disperse its superior forces to fight on multiple fronts......"

"What a big plan, and I don't know how many agreements they have reached in private...... Even with the current military strength of the Empire, it should be difficult, right? The leader of the revolutionary army is called Ulysses, right? What an amazing guy. ”

"It's hard for sure, but the situation is still manageable." Javier's gaze looked at the map of the entire empire spread across the conference table, and his finger lightly tapped on the location of Bishui Pass, "The Great General will lead the Guards Corps to garrison Bishui Pass, and follow the original plan to fortify the walls and clear the wilderness...... In addition, Major General Andrei will also lead the remaining troops of the Southwestern Army to conscript, and take root in the rear of the revolutionary army like nails. ”

"Such an arrangement, not to mention the complete annihilation of the revolutionary army, is not a problem to delay time, and the rest depends on whether Estes and I can quickly suppress the enemy between the East and the West. If all goes well, it may be possible to eliminate all three major threats around the empire. ”

"If all goes well, right?" Arrowin sighed, shrugged, and said, "What about the other bad news?" I had a sense of foreboding. ”

"This is the information that has just been obtained, and a fourth unstable armed force has appeared on the map of the empire."

Javier said, drawing a circle in the northeastern part of the empire with a red pen, and made a big cross in the location of Fenghua City.

"The Governor of the Northeast, known as the 'Wolf of the North', Danati Viconya. This man is extremely ambitious, and wants to take advantage of the turmoil in the empire to seek more status, and has now secretly made contact with An Ningdao...... According to the content of their agreement, when our troops are approaching Jerok and have the final decisive battle with Anning Dao, Dai Nadi will lead the army to attack the Hukou Pass, cut off the rear road of our army, and then attack the troops of Anning Dao on both sides, so as to achieve the goal of completely crushing our army. ”

“…… It's him, so it's not surprising. Arrowen showed a strange smile, "I have long known that this Dynadi is not a good thing, and now the treason is gone, and it is also saved to wait until later to slowly liquidate...... But actually getting involved at this juncture, this self-proclaimed smart bastard will really cause trouble for people. ”

"Danati Viconya? It's not ......," Will seemed to suddenly remember something.

"That's right, the last mission you carried out with Black Hitomi was to go to the territory ruled by the Dynadi." Javier glanced at Will and said, "Over the years, I have planted a lot of secret chess in various forces around the empire, investigating and monitoring some important people in power...... Among them, Danati Viconia is particularly noteworthy, or rather particularly dangerous. ”

"Oh? I can actually get such an evaluation from you. Chelsea showed an interested look, "Let's not talk about this man's character, he is definitely outstanding in terms of ability, right?" ”

"Whether it's outstanding or not, I'll tell you something about the past and you'll understand." Arrowan picked up the conversation, "Numa Seka knows, right? It was the prince of the northern alien race who invaded the northwest border of the empire and was exterminated by Estes. ”

"Well, I've heard of it." Chelsea nodded, "What does the 'Brave of the North' have to do with this Dynadi?" ”

"In fact, in the early days of Numa Seka's rebellion, the original strategic goal was to occupy the northeastern territory of the empire, and the governor of the northeast at that time was not Dinati, but Dinati's elder brother, Stephen Viconia."

"Strictly speaking, this man is also a genius, but unfortunately he is not the opponent of Numa Seka, after a head-to-head confrontation between the king and the king, the elder brother was seriously injured and finally died, and as the younger brother, Danati was ordered to inherit everything from the deceased brother."

"And the next thing is the key, this Dynadi is much more powerful than his brother, he has consolidated the defense line of the Northeast Military Region to the point where he is not leaky, and he has defeated Numa Seka several times in succession, even if it is a head-to-head duel, he will not fall behind at all...... Seeing that the morale of the army was gradually declining, Numa Sekka temporarily changed his strategic goal and led his army to the northwest, where the military operation went quite smoothly until Estes was ordered to go to the northwest front to support, and then you know......"

"Now that I think about it, His Royal Highness the prince couldn't be more miserable, and he was silent for three seconds." Arowen fakely wiped away her tears.

"Hey, that's off-topic." Chelsea reminded him unhappily.

"Oh, I'm sorry." Arrowen put away his hypocritical posture and continued, "In short, because of the merit of repelling Numa Seka, Danati finally eliminated all criticism and secured the position of governor of the northeast. The brother succeeds the brother, and the two brothers are both outstanding people, which is also rumored to be a beautiful talk in the local area...... Will: You've been to the Northeast Province, so you've probably heard of these things, right? ”

"Yes." Will recalled, "Danati was very popular in the local area, and many people praised him, and these things have been praised in the streets and alleys, and it is difficult to ...... you don't know."

"That's a good story." Chelsea looked at Javier, "Sounds like a qualified superior, what's in danger of him?" ”

"Stories are meant to be told to people, but the real situation is often much more sinister and filthy than the story." Javier couldn't tell what the expression was on his face, and he said in an indifferent voice, "Danati's brother, Thiliefen Viconia, did not die from serious injuries, such injuries were not enough to kill a strong warrior with a strong body, he was poisoned by someone. ”

"What do you mean......"

Chelsea was stunned, then her beautiful eyes widened, obviously guessing something, but not daring to be sure.

"It wasn't Numa Sekka who killed Shrifan, it was Danati himself, who was poisoned by his most trusted brother." The corners of Javier's mouth hooked up a sarcastic arc, "Power is fierce, especially for people who were born in this kind of family, it's not an uncommon thing, but his cold and hard heart that will do anything to achieve his goals can be glimpsed from it...... I should probably be glad that I am the only son of the Salmondo family, and I don't have to worry about the scandal of these brothers. ”

When Chelsea heard Javier's last emotion, she felt that he was saying these words from the heart, and there is always no shortage of disputes in this world, no matter what era or history.

However, in the final analysis, these people who cause disputes are fighting for some rights and benefits.

It is ridiculous that most of them can climb to high positions, most of them are learned people, they have read history books, and occasionally say a few words about learning from history, but for some reason they keep making the same mistakes, which is ridiculous.

Being at the height of Javier, seeing a lot, naturally I will be tired and tired from the bottom of my heart, thinking that people are really stupid in this life, doing so many things for those things that life does not bring and death does not bring, and in the end they kick their legs and leave, what is worth it?

Chelsea recalls the experiences she had had since she became a killer, and she couldn't help but sigh slightly as she saw the same things that people had seen.

"Speaking of which, Danadi has such a confidential connection with An Ning Dao, where did you get the news?" Arowen asked suddenly.

"That's the good news at the end." Javier smiled, "Something happened on the side of the Revolutionary Army, Najeta wanted to end the war, but the Revolutionary Army went the other way, so she decided to cooperate with us...... The matter of Dinati is also one of the information that Red Hitomi conveyed to me. ”

"I see," Arowen said, nodding as he remembered that night, "do you think they can be trusted?" ”

"At least Najeta and Red Hitomi are people to be trusted, and the others...... I haven't talked to me directly, and I don't know much about it, so I'll leave it at that. Xavier paused for a moment, then added, "Anyway, be prepared for the second hand, and if something happens, you can deal with it properly." ”

"You're as cautious as ever." Arrowen said.

"There's nothing wrong with being careful, isn't it?"

After saying this, Javier lowered his head and pondered for a while, and only after half a ring did he raise his head again, and looked around the conference room, already having some decision in mind.

"Will," he said, "tomorrow you will join me on the expedition to the religious city of Jerlock, the headquarters of Anning Dao, and given the current instability in the Imperial Capital, we must put an end to this farce as quickly as possible." ”

"Yes!" Will immediately responded with a fist clenched.

"Arowen, I'll leave you 20,000 horses." Javier turned his head, looked at Arrovan and said, "You are in charge of staying behind with Marika and Chelsea at the Tiger Pass, preparing to face the upcoming Danati Viconia...... I heard that the Northeast Army under his command is very brave, so I don't ask you to win the battle, as long as I return victorious. ”

"Huh? What stupid are you talking about? ”

Hearing this, Arowen was immediately unhappy, raised his eyebrows, then slapped the table and stood up, and said unhappily: "You just have to deal with the group of disciples in Anning Dao with peace of mind, leave the problem here to me, and when your soldiers and horses triumph, I will let you see the head of the boy of Dinati hanging on the mast of the city gate!" ”

Just kidding, after several times of this empire, there are only two people who can really make him bow down.

One of them is undoubtedly Javier, who has brought him a heavy psychological shadow since childhood, and the other is Estes, who has the anti-heaven magic skill of "Freezing Time and Space", as long as he can't crack this move, he will never be able to defeat Estes.

And Bude, who is also one of the "strongest in the empire", to be honest, Arowen is not afraid to fight with it, whether he wins or not, it doesn't matter for the time being, but the battle situation will definitely not be a one-sided without suspense, and Arowen also has the confidence that he will be able to surpass Bude within ten years, this is his confidence.

So, a passer-by who jumped out of nowhere also wanted him to avoid the edge for a while? Inexistent!

"Heh, my tone is quite big, but I don't know how much strength your ability can have your tone?" Javier smiled.

"Just wait and see."

Arrowen also grinned, revealing two rows of white teeth, and he would prove who the real hunter was.
