The Great Chief Zoro already regarded Roddy as his mortal enemy, but he didn't know that Roddy, as the "Prime Minister of the Cabinet", had no intention of showing up in the battle against the orcs. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

At this time, he was wearing a warm leather jacket, and he was flying towards the city of Hollier in the cold wind high in the sky.

The information and orders issued had been given out, but as the "Prime Minister", he had to go to Hollier City to preside over a "cabinet meeting" convened by Sally, regardless of his relationship with Sally, and this nominal matter had to be done in place.

Three days have passed since Evta's encounter with the first orc squads, and most of the refuge efforts for the inhabitants of the territory are now in the final stages. With scouting by the scouts and the daily high-altitude scans of the "Da Duck", the orcs have no more secrets to speak of. Roddy wasn't too nervous about the danger the orcs had brought about, on the contrary, he was now trying to sort through all the memories of the Tasman in his mind.

"Humanity as lambs..."

"The undead as a ruler..."

"Well, the incident that happened back then should have signs now. ”

Luo Di, who had been immersed in the domestic anti-aggression war, actually did not pay much attention to the affairs of the Tasman Kingdom. In fact, most of the information about Tasman in his mind comes from the player's second or even third version of the transmission, which is basically scattered clues when everyone is chatting. Roddy doesn't have a super memory, and most of the information has been almost forgotten for a long time, and what he can remember now is mainly a small part of Nata's actual information - but even if it's just a small part, the information ahead of the current world can give Roddy the advantage of "information asymmetry".

Whether it is the backward era of cold weapons or the electronic information age in which Luo Di once lived, "information asymmetry" can directly affect the tilt of the balance of victory.

The crisis facing Evetta seems almost unsolvable to outsiders, but Roddy, who knows his opponent, does not think so in his heart - war is not like a computer game, where you can estimate who wins and who loses by simple numbers. For now, at least, Roddy is sure of one thing: neither Sauron, Augustine, nor Charles II have any more control over their armies.

History has proven countless times that most armies usually expend more energy "internally" than "externally" in war. This is particularly the case when it comes to countries with special polities.

"The biggest advantage is that they are enemies except for their own people..."

Luo Di looked at the vast land, and he also sighed helplessly in his heart. The city of Hollier in the field of vision is getting closer and closer, and now the villages and towns on the outskirts of the city have been completely emptied, and a large number of guards walking above the city walls can be seen in the distance. Familiar buildings come into view, and Roddy sees the minaret of the abbey, the black walls of the Earl's Court, and the town square where several fierce battles have erupted.

Turning his head, the Endel mine on the other side of his vision was still the same. The thrilling escape with Sally is still vivid in my mind, and the girl who was disguised as a tomboy by herself has now become a high-ranking Duke of Evta.

Just as he was thinking about Sally, Roddy, who was about to land in the city square, saw the figure looking up at the sky - he didn't expect Sally to come and pick him up in person, and hurriedly let the duck swoop down. And after staggering and landing, Roddy, who had just jumped down, was directly pounced by Sally...

"You can't come back sooner, you can't get back there, don't you?"

In Sally's mind, Hollier City will always be her and Roddy's shared home. She didn't come here with much fanfare today, wearing a brown cloth robe and hood that concealed people's eyes, but Roddy felt that this little girl had a heroic spirit no matter how she wore it.

He felt the enthusiasm that came to his face, and a little guilt appeared in his heart, and he just wanted to say something, but when he lowered his head, he was kissed directly by Sally on the head...

"Hurry up, hurry up, don't let them find me!"

The landing of the duck naturally attracted people's attention, and after Sally finished kissing him, she pulled Roddy with a blushing face and ran, stepping onto the carriage that had been prepared on another street not far away, Roddy followed behind helplessly, closed the door and smiled: "I also wore this kind of clothes, which reminds me of the time when I took you back to Hollier City." ”

"Don't talk about these useless things, tell me, why did you make this decision again?"

The plan to deal with the undead was not intended to be presented at the cabinet meeting, as it would only need to be carried out with the forces of Elson City, and no word could be leaked. However, he did not hide it from Sally - so the Duke, who was not satisfied with Roddy's decision, began to "attack" at this moment: she straddled Roddy's lap, pinched his face with both hands, and stared at Roddy with a pair of big eyes...

Well, the fragrant smell made Roddy a little intoxicated.

"If we don't do that, we have no way out in the future. ”

Roddy gently put his arms around Sally, his fingertips touching her skin, but he felt her hidden worry in that gaze - as a duke, she also knew the stakes of this war, after all, Sally was no longer the little girl under her father's wing.

"Why... Why do you want to go in person?"

"Because I went in person, I was sure to lead them out of the way. ”

Neither of them is a child anymore, and such a conversation is actually a reconfirmation of the inner decision. Luo Di held her cold little hand, "It's good to let a man handle this kind of thing like a war." ”

For Sally, this is more reassuring than any love story.

It's just that this kind of ear and sideburn grinding initiative can't last long, and soon the carriage arrived at the Duke's Palace, and when Roddy entered the conference hall first, the other cabinet members who had already arrived had already sorted out the papers piled up on the table, and sat up straight one by one.

At present, there are no parties or mountains in the current cabinet, and only Roddy is absolutely dominant.

Sally, dressed in a red duke's robe and crown, entered, with a solemn gesture similar to that of the two of them, and the "pre-war cabinet meeting", which was destined to go down in history, was quietly held in such a slightly hurried atmosphere.

Hundreds of miles away, the "Boratini" flagship, which docked along the coastline of Everta, is still docked as before.

There were soldiers and mages walking back and forth on the deck of the battleship, and the faint white clouds obscured the fierce eyes, allowing many mages to enjoy the cool sea breeze leisurely. However, compared to the relaxed atmosphere in the past, these mages have felt an inexplicable pressure recently...

Their leader, Master Houdini, had locked himself in his room for two days.

"Hasn't the council sent back a message yet?"

"It's impossible, Poratini's relay circle can deliver information instantly, it's not a carrier pigeon, and you have to wait a month. ”

"Maybe it's because the news is complicated and the council needs time to discuss the decision?"

"Who knows..."

There was a lot of talk, but they couldn't understand Houdini's mixed emotions of apprehension, nervousness, anger and loss.

As a member of the Rasiman Kingdom, this cooperation project with Elson City can be said to be beneficial and harmless, if this bridge can be successfully built, the "cobalt gold mine" alone will greatly enhance the national power, and the credit will be enough for Houdini to become one of the leaders of the entire country.

As a "loser" after being suppressed by political opponents, Houdini also realized that this opportunity was his best hope for a turnaround, and almost all of his wealth was pressed on this cooperation agreement.

It's just the feedback from the parliament, but it makes Houdini's heart colder and colder.

The Supreme Council of Magic for Rasiman simply didn't believe that what he said was the truth!

Houdini never thought that the words of the dignified Magister would be questioned as a fabrication - although the "Prophecy" Magister did have accuracy problems on some issues, the clear and unambiguous records and proposals were also questioned and approved!

Hunidi will never forget the glaring words "false news" after the parliament's review failed.

He sent the message back in a fit of rage, only to receive harsher criticism. It wasn't until Houdini revised these manuscripts for the third time that he realized he had done something stupid...

Rasiman has always prided himself on possessing powerful magical resources. Almost all Rasiman mages have a strong self-confidence: when it comes to magic, no one can compare to the Rasiman Kingdom!

Before Houdini arrived in Elson, he was one of those who thought the same way. In his eyes, the things that Charles II showed were worse than the country turtles, and the so-called Magister of the Karen Kingdom was even more inferior, and it couldn't be compared to Rasiman at all...

So when Houdini told the council everything about Elson City, a violent wave of skepticism suddenly took over the parliament - perhaps the Speaker and the few archmages would not doubt themselves, but the political opponents who saw Houdini was unhappy had to stop the proposal.

Any clear-headed mage can recognize the weight of this proposal.

If it were true, then many people would not have a good time.

So... It has to be fake!

Houdini described him as emaciated, as if he had aged ten years in a matter of days. The manuscript was scattered all over the place, and he was exhausted by the revisions he had made to the pros and cons, and he had tried to state the pros and cons, even to cover up some of Elson's magic levels, removing the "artificial rain" and the scale of the floating tower, but he still couldn't get the approval of the proposal from the entire council.

To make matters worse, the council even withdrew some of his authority to prevent him from "making more moves that are detrimental to the interests of the kingdom." ”

And this is the result of the Speaker's efforts to protect him, otherwise he would now be deprived of his qualification to lead the team.

"Since when did Rasiman become another church as well..."

Houdini sighed, feeling like an outcast from the whole country - if he were to go back now, he might be greeted by a silent assassination, and then those political enemies would send people back to complete the cooperation as "successors"...

With the interests of the cobalt gold mine here, Houdini would not be surprised by any despicable means that may arise.

"So, it seems like there's not much choice left at the moment. ”

He stood, his bloodshot eyes looking through the porthole at the northern coastline, where the enchanting city stood behind the wilderness and dense forests. (To be continued.) )
