Friendship and loyalty are always noble virtues praised by the world, but only tangible benefits are the cornerstones of a career that can survive for a long time across time. At tonight's meeting, Moriarty's long-term plan for Olympus was actually a copy of Clausewitz's admonition that day.

Of course, Moriarty's desire to make Olympus an "international organization" across geographies is indeed his heart.

Today, since some secrets have been or are about to be exposed one after another, they have to take precautions and be cunning. Otherwise, if you only tie yourself to a certain city and a certain place, then in the future, if the superior blames or tracks down, the hole cards and chips you can use in your hand will be too few. On the contrary, assuming that the model of "transnational operation" can be successfully formed, then no matter which side of Bracada or Eracia comes to attack, Moriarty can have a certain amount of room for maneuver, and can see the tricks and leverage the strength.

As for Moriarty's long-term plans, whether or not there were other ideas, everyone at the meeting was at least surprised and emotional. Especially those "newcomers" who later joined Olympus, such as Mage Henry, who has become a goblin traitor, or the three-flower elf who has been expelled by his family, or Gustav, who has long been unable to mingle in Aquamarine, are indeed in need of a land and assets for them to truly settle down. And the promise given by Moriarty undoubtedly gave them unprecedented hope, so they willingly tied themselves to the "new ship" of Olympus.

"Moti, there's something. You'd better take a look. ”

After that, after explaining some post-war details, Moriarty announced the dismissal of the meeting, and everyone went separately to get busy. But then White suddenly whispered up and stopped him.

"Okay."

Glancing at the somewhat strange expressions of his followers, Moriarty nodded and followed him towards the door.

Crossing the street, the two of them arrived at the Inner Fort one after the other. There, there was already a squad of ironclad infantry guarding the door. Seeing the arrival of the two, they immediately saluted.

"What's the matter?" White asked directly to the commander of the infantry squad.

"Report to the company commander, no."

"Good. Keep ye here. No one is allowed to enter or leave. ”

"Yes, sir!"

Passing through the open gate, Moriarty entered the inner fort, the first time he had entered this central area of the Rheinberg.

Inside the inner fort. There was a dark silence. Only a pair of candles are lit every dozen meters along the sides of the main corridor. In the flickering firelight. The surrounding qiē seemed to be shrouded in hazy shadows. The air was filled with a pungent smell of blood and sulfur, no doubt the smell of fresh demonic flesh.

"I heard that the Sword and Shield Company and the gunfire performed very well in the Inner Fort Cleanup Battle today, killing more than two hundred little demons. No one was killed, but more than a dozen people were injured in varying degrees. Because the company leader of the ironclad infantry company is still held by White, Moriarty's words are undoubtedly praising the other party's good training.

"That's because there are the three Balalaika brothers in charge, and the wolf cavalry company sweeping the periphery, otherwise just a few dozen big-headed soldiers would have been heaped to death by the little devils."

White, however, did not seem satisfied with his watch, and shook his head to indicate that he could not accept Moriarty's praise. In fact, in his mind, in the future, the ironclad infantry of Olympus needs to be developed to at least the size of a reinforced squadron, or even a brigade. Among them, there must be about 10% of middle-level fighters as the backbone and support, so that a fist force that can resist tough battles and vicious battles can appear in the face of a strong enemy like a high-level demon. Otherwise, just like today, the actual role of the Sword and Shield Company is just to do chores and clean up trash fish like cleaners, and it is not even as important as the bow and crossbow team with armor-piercing arrows.

Of course, White had already mentioned this idea to Moriarty, and the other party also agreed to expand the Sword and Shield Company into an ordinary squadron after that, and as for the soldiers, White would select and recruit from among the refugees, and give priority to supplementation. However, as for the likes of mid-level warriors, even if Moriarty is a mage, it is impossible to conjure it out of thin air, and he can only rely on White himself to find a way to cultivate.

"Do you think we should recruit another batch of wolf cavalry?"

Suddenly, as if on a whim, Moriarty said to White, who was walking in front.

"Recruit wolf riders? Why? ”

White seemed a little taken aback by this question, and immediately stopped and turned to look at the other party.

"Because we still lack enough rapid reaction forces." Moriarty looked at his followers and slowly expressed his thoughts: "You have actually seen that although the wolf cavalry company of Olympus is only fifteen horsemen at present, it has played a very important role in all previous battles. Especially in reconnaissance, pursuit, and long-distance mobile operations, the actual combat strength and combat achievements of the wolf cavalry are beyond doubt. At the moment, our war against the demons has only just begun, and there are more serious battles to be fought in the future, so I need to do everything we can to strengthen our own actual combat power. ”

"But... After all, they are the orcs of Krurod and the enemies of Erathia. Do you really trust them that much? Or do you think that a Margaret who falls in love with you will help settle a qiē? How are you going to explain to Haiyna? After a moment's hesitation, White finally revealed what he really thought in his heart.

In fact, Olympus and others have long been unaware of the meaning of Margaret's existence, and even Hayurina is also aware. It's just that for a long time, the werewolf seemed to be content to be by Moriarty's side, and didn't ask for anything else. So everyone else came over with such a giggle and pretending to be confused. And now that White is so bluntly proposed, he is undoubtedly taking Moriarty's army.

"Regarding the wolf cavalry, I am still going to recruit from Wolfgang, after all, the demons have invaded the Antagreqi continent, and Krulord is also a potential victim. If they don't want to be the next target, they should be willing to help us fight the demons together. At the same time, I see no reason to doubt Wolfgang's creditworthiness. These gritty wolf orcs cherish honor even more than most humans. It's just, Margaret there... I... I really don't know what to do..."Speaking of which. For the first time, Moriarty showed a certain hesitation and confusion in front of his followers.

"Do you really like her?"

Looking at the rare look on the other party's face, White couldn't help but sigh softly.

"I'm not sure... However, if a woman follows you so unconditionally from thousands of miles to life, birth and death, it seems that I really can't just be moved and delighted. It was also the first time that Moriarty had revealed his true feelings to others, speaking a little slowly, as if he was considering the words, or speaking to himself.

"And you're going to make her your lover? Hehe, the daughter of a Duke of Croulaud. White seemed to feel that his words were a bit heavy, so he took the initiative to laugh.

"Hehe, then I have to get ready. Waiting for a good fight with the Duke of Midamoa. Moriarty also smiled.

"As long as Hayyna agrees. I don't think anyone else would mind playing against Croulard. White also responded half-truthfully.

"Oh, Haiyna..."

Hearing the name, Moriarty froze, and at the same time looked ashamed.

"Alright. Let's think about women's affairs later. There are still a lot of demons waiting for us to send them home. "Walked over to Moriarty. White tapped him lightly on the shoulder. Said softly.

"Yes, you're right." Nodding, he decided to forget about his seemingly incomprehensible mind for a while. Moriarty took a deep breath and regained his form: "What exactly did you find in the inner castle?" ”

"Something good." Hearing this question, White suddenly showed a smile, as if it was a sign that there was really an amazing discovery.

Then, through a series of cloisters that turned from side to west, and past several broken and closed iron gates, White led Moriarty to a secluded storehouse in the corner of the Inner Fort. And at the door of the storeroom, one squad of the Iron Fist of War and another squad of Ironclad Infantry were on joint duty.

When the supreme commander of Olympus arrived, all the soldiers saluted in unison.

"How's it going?" White walked to the door of the storeroom and asked the commander of the ironclad infantry.

"As per your instructions, no one has ever entered this storeroom." Wu Chang immediately replied.

"Good." Whitty nodded, then turned to Moriarty and said, "Let's go in." ”

"Okay."

Passing through the airtight line of duty, White and Moriarty walked side by side into the warehouse.

Inside the warehouse, it was still dark. As if he already knew where the lampstand was, White immediately stepped forward to light it.

"This is..."

When the lights were not very bright, what appeared in front of Moriarty was an extremely large interior space. And under the flickering candle flame, he saw huge round haystacks arranged in an orderly manner, reaching deep into the unfathomable darkness and distance.

"These haystacks are filled with grains such as wheat, peanuts and soybeans, and are estimated to weigh 400,000 bushels." At this time, White said in a deep voice behind him.

"Four hundred thousand bushels!?" Moriarty immediately let out a low sigh.

400,000 bushels of food is almost equivalent to the annual harvest of a barony, and it is also enough to support at least a year's ration for an army of 1,000 men.

"These should be the reserve grains of the Luo Yanta family. Because the demon broke the city too quickly, and it didn't consume much at all. After that, the people in the castle were killed and eaten by the demons, and the demons were not interested in food, so they can be left to this day. "In your own judgment, White said.

"Looks like we're really lucky."

Looking at the large stack of grain looming under the candlelight, Moriarty couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. With these windfalls, Olympus can really go all out to conquer the county without being restricted by the outside world.

"It's a pity that in addition to food, some other materials, such as cloth, wood, livestock, etc., seem to have been destroyed or taken by the demons, and there is not much left." At this time, White said again.

"Hehe, how can you let the demon honestly guard our belongings." In this regard, Moriarty is very open, after all, it is a great joy to get this batch of precious grain.

"However, in another storeroom, traces of a secret room were also found."

Suddenly, White whispered in Moriarty's ear. (To be continued......)
