298 Those who are troubled
"But Ciri, I still don't understand that Heinze, even if he is in vain, should be able to govern an earldom well. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info Why did you turn on Mulak without him? ”
"It's very simple, that bastard is the same as you and me when I first fell down, with high eyes and low hands." Ciri explained lightly.
"Mike, do you know what he said when we started using Mulak? Tell me to dig deep into the riverbed with alchemy mines to restore the entire territory to plains. Man, I hadn't invented an alchemical potion to quickly dispose of Dark Devil granite, so wouldn't we be busy fending off an army from the Rolandor Kingdom? It's just a bad idea, but guess I asked how to resist Rolando's army, and he told me to surrender directly! Hmph, I'm a former emperor, and I got rid of Zigra IX easily. He was a captive, and as soon as he came up, he told me that I should be his old master, do you think a bastard like this is worth trusting? ”
"I see. I'll just say, how could you throw my crown to Artim, you already knew that Heinze was such a ruthless and unrighteous person. ”
Mike muttered. "Well, in that case, how do we deal with this Heinze."
"It's very simple, didn't the people of the Northern Witchcraft Alliance dig up a lot of silt from the bottom of Lake Noah? I'm going to fill it directly into the marshland between Lake Kanter and Lake Noah. To the north, Jador has flattened the Wise Mountains, and we'll take the inevitably low-lying terrain to the sky's high, guess what Heinze would think. ”
"They'll think you're going to flood the city. Without waiting for you to do anything, they will definitely be the first to attack us, which is equivalent to attacking and defending to give us an excuse to annex Wise City! "The more Mike speaks, the brighter his eyes become." Siri, I suggest spreading some dazzle in the city of Canter, saying that Pompeit originally asked you to be the Grand Duke of Canter, but you turned it down. ”
"Mike, you're so bad. Still, I like your ploy! ”
With that, Ciri couldn't help but laugh with Mike.
What Mike had in mind, he hadn't thought of, but it reminded him. Plotting Wise City, do you want to let Artim continue to of course his so-called Zigra X? There's a big river in the middle? What's what? Since there is so much silt dug out of Noah Lake, it is better to bury part of the marshland in the system, so that the original flooded city of Leah can be restored! Moreover, it is very simple to do, just dig an aqueduct in the Canter and Leah Mountains, and cut off the river that separates Noah's territory from the territory of the Duchy of Canter. But at that time, he didn't believe that Heinze would do nothing!
------------------------------
Wise Castle, the Lord's Office. When it comes to the offices in the castle, the first thing that comes to mind is that they are clean, tidy, and spotless, after all, this is where the nobles received guests and envoys. There are even a few lords who like to display some precious antique weapons in their offices to show off their strength and wealth. Karl's office, however, was unlike any other lord.
Dirty, not rather. However, there are only tables, chairs, benches and stationery, which is very simple. However, a few people in this office didn't care about the furnishings of the room. Carl, who became the master, still wore that kind of schadenfreude smile as usual. It's not that he doesn't worry about his territory, and it's not that he has a solution, but because the two people in front of him look much more ugly than him!
Heinze, who usually seemed to be strategic, could no longer put on the demeanor of a genius strategist at this time, and as for the self-proclaimed Zigra X, Artim was also anxious like a mad dog!
"Damn Ciri! Damn Siri! Snatched me of an earldom and immobilized me. Now he is burying the swamp in his own territory, and you say, "What is he going to do?" ”
No one answered. Carl continued to sneer there, and that Heinze continued to maintain that so-called stupidity. Forced demeanor. There is no way, because he is really helpless against Ciri.
Artem led Zigra X by himself, originally he was trembling, for fear that Siri would jump out and oppose it, but surprisingly, that guy didn't react at all! Since that guy doesn't object, I'm afraid he has no ambition for those fertile territories of Zigra, or not for the time being. Heinze could only make such a judgment, but what happened next made him realize that Siri was not disnounished, not disdainful. Disdain him as a genius, and disdain what Artim does.
When Ciri made a move, Heinze realized how terrible his enemy was!
It is normal for a Zigra vassal to take advantage of that kingdom to die and declare himself king, some people oppose it, some people support it, and some people are neutral. But everything was completely disrupted because of a Siri.
The neutral, under the intimidation of assassination, did not fall to Artim as he expected, but went to Ciri's side for help. Those who objected, those who were not killed by the assassins continued to oppose, and those who were killed were directly exploited by Ciri!
Heinze admits that he was too hasty in dealing with the opposition to the aristocracy. But a thousand assassins, a thousand assassins, a thousand pigs, would have to be killed for a long time, and as a result, a fire would have burned all to ashes! Even those nobles in Zhenxi City who were tricked by themselves and were ready to take refuge were also burned alive in Zhenxi Castle!
Now, he's starting to bury the swamp between Lake Noah and Lake Kanter again. Everyone knows that Cyri's most glorious (on the surface) achievement was to dig the river embankment and resist the Rolando's army in the east and the orcs in the west. If, he flooded Wise City again, Dylan, the lord of Wise? Karl, it is a trivial matter to die or not, but in that case, the so-called accession to the throne becomes a joke. And he, a strategist who gives advice, will also be despised by the world for nothing!
"Heinze, Heinze! You bastard! When I ask you, why don't you answer? ”
Suddenly, a series of angry questions brought Heinze back to his senses directly from his contemplation. Looking at the angry Artim in front of him, and then at the gloating Karls, Heinze muttered for a while before slowly speaking.
"Your Majesty, Lord Karl, I don't think we care about what Siri is doing. As a lord, it is only natural to find a way to expand the territory internally. We simply can't blame. Even if the city of Wise is submerged, what can it be? If we can conquer the territory of Leeds, we can give it directly to Lord Karl. ”
While the master and apprentice persuaded Artim and did not forget to buy Carl's good, Heinze really spared no effort in order to become an enemy of Ciri, but unfortunately, although he was born in a famous military academy, he had no experience, so his idea not only did not move Carl, but also muttered to Artim, who was obedient to him.
