Pallas thought he had seen through Brando's purpose. The full-text and ad-free novels are all biquge.info on Aishang Novel Network

But the old knight would never understand what kind of being was fighting against him on the other side of the forest. Like Brando, he knew every lord of Eruin, whether he had walked past, present, or future, whether he was powerful or impoverished.

He was as familiar with these people as he was with his own fingerprints.

From the year of the year of Shihuā and Natsuba, "until the beginning of the Second Age, he dealt with almost every lord of Eruin, large or small.

If Pallas knew that Brando could name a nickname that he didn't know decades ago, he might have reconsidered his choice.

But history doesn't have to say that when Brando got the news that the old knight had returned to Pallas in his study in Fir City, he couldn't help but smile and "threw the information from the crow back on the desk."

Raven was his name for the Front-Line Wizard Scout, as they often used Raven to convey information, hence the nickname that spread among the military.

"It's a pity." Fern also lived past that report, and the former cavalry captain shook his head with some disappointment: "That old fellow is really cautious, otherwise as long as he is hot-headed, we will win half of this war", "Pin your hopes on the enemy" This is not a good habit, Grand Master Fern. "Antitina stands beside Brando," she replied coldly, glancing at the Grand Master.

As time passed, the prestige of Brando's First Staff Lady in his group grew, "Although she was reprimanding, speaking out at this time did not make Fern feel that there was anything wrong, as if it should have been so.

Instead, Fern laughed: "It's just a pity" He retreated, and then we had to face a tough battle. ”

"Not necessarily." Brando replied softly.

He knew very well that the old knight was cautious, but there was an indomitable character in his blood, just as he knew very well what the other party liked to fight, and what choices he would make.

This so-called intelligence is just a small trap arranged by him.

No matter what choice the other party makes, it will not surprise him.

Hearing the young lord say this, Antitina glanced at him from behind, "She knew about this plan from the day Tajib left the city, and Brando's arrangement once made her feel unbelievable, it was not like a tactic, it was almost like a prediction.

But now, the prediction came true.

The staff lady was also a little dumbfounded," she looked at Brando's back, in a daze.

"Not necessarily?" , Fern was puzzled.

"Sir Pallas graduated from the Royal Liberal Academy as a young man and fought in the November War" is the most serious academic non-commissioned officer. Brando replied, "Do you know that on the front wall of the Royal Non-Commissioned Officer Academy is written in Cruz" ,...... For both sides of a war, the means of war are to achieve the end and prevent the other from achieving the end. ”,”

This sentence is the guiding core of Eruin's military thought" and is regarded as a classic by all officers of professional background. ”

Fern nodded, along with Clenthia and Medisa on the side. Fern was born in a military camp and is no stranger to this sentence, "but Clenthia has decades of experience in the wilderness, and some truths are common, so he only needs to combine his own experience to see the truth contained in this sentence, and as for Métisa, the princess general's understanding of war does not need to be explained.

"So so is Pallas......" Antitina came back to her senses and whispered to the side, "Is that right, my lord?" ”

"Yes"

Brando continued, "So I asked the cavemen to harass, plunder, and invade the Pallas region with the power of their whole clan" is a message to the old gentleman. ”

"We are in a state of siege, desperate to find a chance to break the tide before the Count Denel's army can be assembled."

"Isn't that where we are?" , Fern asked.

"Yes...... Brando nodded, "But Feng is such a stupid enemy?" Will he tell you the truth about his situation, so that you can complete it once, cniticalatnike? ”

Brando sat down and reclined in a high-backed chair, completely absent from the appearance of a lord, which made Antitina's brow almost twisted.

But the young man seems to be in a good mood, and blurting out is the game terminology.

“cniticalatnike?”

"That's an old language," Brando lied without blushing and heartbeating: "It's called a fatal blow." ”

Fern nodded.

"So it's reverse thinking," Medisa whispered, "and we asked for war, and he naturally couldn't let us get it." On the other hand, if you follow the enemy's strict thinking, the enemy will not be able to expose his weaknesses in front of you so bluntly, and he will definitely try to hide his purpose. ”

"Unless it's a trap." , Fern said.

"What kind of message does this trap reveal?" Clenthia asked.

"The enemy wants to stall for time." Fern replied, "He has clearly taken the perspective of Sir Pallas."

"Then the way to defeat this purpose is to send troops as much as possible", "But what if this is a double trap? The discussion quickly became heated.

"So anyway, now there are only two options left." Antitina pulled her mind out of this thought circuit, and she calmly replied: "Either stay still until the army is assembled, or send troops immediately and cut through the mess quickly."

But Medisa shook her head.

"Military deduction is not just that simple, after all, this is not guessing, just relying on the analysis of the other party's psychology" The little silver elf princess replied: "There are some things that cannot be concealed, troops, materials, morale, weather and geographical factors, plus possible reinforcements. ”

"Two choices, together with this information, are enough for Sir Pallas to make a choice.

"And then add the factor of character." Brando added.

"So what's the trap that the adults are arranging?" After being reminded by Metisa, Fern came back to his senses and looked at Brando in bewilderment.

According to the Silver Elf Princess, isn't Pallas light enough to make a correct judgment?

And it seems that the old knight did make the right judgment.

As the young lord had said, they were beleaguered and desperate to find a chance to break the tide before the Count Denel's army could be assembled.

But now Sir Pallas chose to stand still and wait for the army to assemble, "and then they lost this most precious opportunity."

Isn't it?

But Fern shook his head when he saw Brando, and he laughed, "Trap, haven't I already done it, and each of you is in it" but you can't notice it yet."

"What?"

Everyone was taken aback.

The young lord smiled and nodded his forehead: "The so-called limitation of thinking is that I sue you for a yes or no question" and you fall into the vortex of choice along with this question."

But you don't think that this is a real war, and there are a thousand possibilities in a war, not just two options. If you can't get out of this labyrinth of thinking, then you can't see a third way."

Everyone present was stunned.

"The third way?" Fern asked, frowning.

"Pallas chooses to go in, then he will be hit head-on" We just broke the game. Brando replied, "But of course he wouldn't be so stupid, and I don't think even Grudin's would make such a lowly mistake." ”

"But if he chooses to withdraw from the army, give me two months, or even three months, and drag out the war until after the spring dawn, then I will welcome it."

Brando spreads his hands: "What are we missing?" Time. ”

"But time isn't necessarily in our favor, my lord." Antitina frowned as always, "It's as if her brow hasn't been lifted since this month."

When the young man saw her like this, he reminded him solemnly: "I often frown, but I will be wrinkled." ”

The nobleman's daughter gave him a blank look: "Anyway, I will let you be responsible, Lord Lord," she pouted slightly.

Brando smiled slightly, "It seems that it is also a sense of accomplishment to let this deputy relax a little." He laughed and explained, "Rest assured, time will eventually be on our side." ”

He didn't say anything about it "since the druids returned to his domain" that they might already have news about Valhalla, as is the case in history, and he made a series of arrangements for this.

including instructing Tajib to harass Pallas and delaying the old knight's attack" in order to achieve this purpose.

Only Brando understood what Valhalla meant, so he had to delay the war as long as possible until the fabled territory was in his arms, after which "a qiē would no longer be a problem."

Knowing this in his heart, he looked at the others, who looked at him with suspicion, "But they at least know that this young lord never speaks big."

"But won't that old fellow notice that something is wrong?" Fern still thought it was a little odd.

"Are you aware again?" Brando asked rhetorically.

"It's just for a while!"

"It's a matter of one or two details to change the final result in a war," Brando shook his head, "It's the most taboo for a commander to be indecisive, and it's even more taboo for a soldier to change a decision repeatedly." ”

"What's more, once he decides to withdraw today, he will have to deal with the harassment of Tajib from now on, even if by the time he understands it, he has already slowed down the pace of assembly, and then it will be too late to regret it."

"Isn't he going to lose?" Fern asked.

"I gave him an exam paper, and I arranged the two "answers" to choose from, why didn't he lose?" Brando replied, "Sometimes you need to switch roles, but it's not a good thing to go with the rhythm of your opponent. ”

Brando stopped suddenly, for he felt silence around him, and all his men looked at him with a strange gaze, "as if they were looking at a youkai."

The young man was embarrassed, he was not really an unfathomable method, but it was just the rest of Instaron's play. In the Second War of the Black Roses, the Black Sir humiliated the old gentleman like this: "Brando himself can only be borrowed from it."

"So what?" Fern asked, "What do we do?" ”

"Do your own thing," replied Brando, "that's the second thing I'm going to say today, and I'm probably going to leave the territory for a month, or more. ”

He clasped his hands together and interlaced his fingers, "I don't want this place to be a mess when I get back to the territory." ”

"Your Excellency, are you leaving?" Antitina frowned again: "Shavlund? ”

"Secret."

The young man puts his finger to his lips.! ~!
