040, Martin's plan
Falcon City, Martin's estate. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
At this time, Falcon City is no longer the calm and tranquil when Ya first came here, and it can be described as tense.
But Martin snuggled up in his estate as if nothing had happened, sipping wine and waiting for news.
Pepin rushed back from outside to bring a new piece of news to Martin.
"The army that went out to exterminate the goblins found something abnormal, and the news I just learned that someone in the army has fired a signal flare, and all the troops who see this signal flare will return to Falcon City as soon as possible."
"In what direction was it launched?"
"Southeast."
"To the southeast is the direction in which the Third Brigade of the Third Legion is heading, and if I am not mistaken, they should face an attack from the Church of the Dawn. They still have time to fire flares under the ambush of the Church of the Dawn! Martin was very surprised.
Martin was well aware of the Church of Dawn's ambush, and in fact the Church of Dawn and the Vice Lord of Falcon City who wanted to seize power of Falcon City had reached an agreement through him, a merchant.
He knew that the head of the Church of the Dawn this time would be two priests who had reached the bronze rank, and there would even be a silver bishop.
In the case of intentional ambush and internal response, it is definitely a very terrifying thing for a group of priests to cast spells together, and it is not difficult to eliminate the third brigade with a large number of people.
Once the Third Brigade is eliminated, the Deputy City Lord will completely join the Church of Dawn in order to gain the support of the Church of Dawn.
Although the Church of Dawn wants to preach in Falcon City and spread the influence of the Lord of Dawn, they also do not want to simply support the Vice City Lord to seize power, they need the Deputy City Lord to completely stand on the side of the Dawn Church and serve the church.
Therefore, the third brigade became a victim of the vice-city lord, expressing the vice-lord's willingness to cooperate, and the Dawn Church was also willing to see a weakened Falcon City to facilitate their control.
But now it seems that something has changed.
"Are the priests of the Church of the Dawn in the Celts all fake, how can such a simple thing be messed up?" Martin was furious.
He had enough reason to be angry.
As a big merchant, he wanted to incorporate the entire Seven Cities Federation and the local trade of the noble council into his business territory, but he was not a native of Celtic, and even in the name of the Buffison Business Alliance, he could not really make a name for himself in this market.
So he needed support and acted as a messenger between the Church of Dawn and Falcon City. He bets on the vice-lord and provides the necessary funds, and once the vice-lord seizes power, he can gain the support of a lord.
Even because Falcon City joined the Church of the Dawn camp, which led to a major change in the entire Celtic political power, the benefits he could obtain in it were very exciting.
Of course, these are all built on the success of the Church of Dawn and the Deputy City Lord. But now it seems that it is half the battle. The other half of the uncertain situation depends on whether the deputy lord can kill the lord in this operation.
"Is there any news from the City Lord's Mansion?"
"No, it's still the same as yesterday. It seems that even the city lord is not lightly injured. ”
On the fourth day of the Goblin Extermination Operation, after confirming that the troops belonging to the City Lord's line were far enough away from Falcon City, the Deputy City Lord immediately began to act.
I don't know what method she used, but first invited the previous city lord Stewart, who had traveled abroad, back, and he came to challenge the city lord.
Then, with years of mastery of Falcon City, he immediately took all the important departments into his own hands. Especially the entire city defense army, from the general to the corps commander, has become her person.
Disobedient soldiers were imprisoned or killed long before the operation began.
Among the three major legions of Falcon City, the generals of the first legion were loyal to the city lord, but under the deputy city lord's plan to destroy the goblins and obtain the lordship, half of the soldiers were sent out, and their strength was greatly reduced, and they were soon controlled by the second legion (city defense army).
Six years ago, the previous lord of the city, Stewart, was challenged and defeated by the lord of the city, and lost his position as the lord of the city and had to travel.
However, the result of this door-to-door challenge was still the same, failure. The only difference is that the last time the city lord spared his life, this time he was killed directly in battle.
But if the city lord was not injured while defeating a silver-rank warrior, no one would believe it, and the deputy city lord thought so too. So she shot the moment the lord killed Stewart.
No one thought that the little woman of the deputy city lord was actually a silver-rank professional, a frost mage.
She has always given people the image of a very gentle female mage. The battle between the city lord and the deputy city lord lasted for nearly half an hour, and in the end, neither side was completely sure that they would defeat the other, and Falcon City temporarily fell into a strange situation.
Although the deputy city lord has almost controlled the entire Falcon City, the city lord still lives in the city lord's mansion.
If the city lord is not dead, the deputy city lord will never be able to truly become the ruler of Falcon City.
And the city lord wanted to abolish the deputy city lord, but the city lord who had been focusing on improving his strength for six years and had not paid attention to the affairs of the city could not find anyone to be trusted, so he could only hide in the city lord's mansion alone to restore his strength.
So that's what Martin is facing right now.
However, he knew that once the deputy city lord recovered from his injuries, he would lead the other armed forces in the city to completely drive the city lord out of Falcon City or even kill him.
"Burns went to the Mage Federation in the morning, probably with the conditions of the deputy city lord to invite the president of the federation to join forces against the city lord."
There's no way around it.
Originally, according to their plan, the Silver Bishop Church came to Falcon City to join forces with the deputy city lord to deal with the silver warrior of the city lord after confirming the destruction of the third brigade, but I didn't know what happened in the middle, and the silver bishop did not appear on time.
The president of the Mage Federation is an earth mage whose strength has reached the silver rank, and with the deputy city lord this frost mage, the situation of the weak city lord is a little bad.
In the final analysis, it is an eternal truth that whoever has the highest strength will be able to occupy a dominant position.
All he has to do now is wait. If the deputy city lord fails, then his previous efforts will be in vain, and he will have to leave Falcon City to avoid becoming the unlucky person of the city lord to vent his anger.
"But it's not without chance." Martin thought of the young White Mage, it was his other choice.
The vice-lord wasn't the only option in his plan, and so was Adam.
In fact, after seeing Adam's magic skills for the first time, he had the idea of betting on Adam.
Although he was not a mage, he had an extremely broad vision, and he knew the mystery and potential of Adam in just a few contacts.
Whether it's the kind of holy light spell, or the summoned light spirit, or the militia loyal to Adam, all show that Adam is extraordinary.
Especially after Adam expressed interest in the lordship, Martin immediately made the decision to bet on him.
So he told Adam everything he knew, and investing while Adam was still weak, the future harvest would be higher, which was his instinct for many years of businessman's life.
If the deputy lord succeeds, the ending will be perfect, he has the support of a city lord, and the caravan will be able to develop rapidly.
If the deputy lord fails and the lord doesn't find out about him, Adam's success is also a good result.
Supporting a small lord of Falcon City will be able to collect a lot of rewards in the future. Martin was convinced that Adam would be able to claim the throne.
No matter how things turn out, Martin seems to be the winner.
But it's not that simple, and Pepin's next news made Martin feel very sad.
"Adam seems to be with the men of the Third Brigade of the Third Legion."
"What? How could he be there! ”
"It seems that Burns made a mistake when assigning the task and assigned Carlos's task to Adam."
"Damn it, stupid Burns."
Martin has everything figured out now. Why the Third Brigade was able to fire flares under the ambush of the Church of Dawn must have been played an important role by Adam.
When he thought about it, he had mixed feelings about Adam for a moment.
Because Adam's presence made his plan half of the failure, and more importantly, the preparations made on Adam seemed to be in vain.
However, all this just proves the fact that his vision is very vicious, Adam is indeed a very valuable investment and a white mage with great potential!
