289: The Eve of the Storm (1)
Since there were no other problems, Lady Anna left, she still had problems with the Farol region, and Chaos forcibly threw in troops, as if she was preparing to tear a hole in the Duchy of Farol.
Neither the Sidney Union nor the Tonysmann Principality, which borders the Duchy of Farol, could have watched the Duchy of Farol fall - from its own rear to a large front, a transformation that no king or duke would want to see.
So Lady Anna must pass.
Marin accompanied Faye back to the annex and found that the girls were all there today, and they were gathering around the table.
Faye's stupid brother was holding his head, as if thinking about something.
"My girls, what are you looking at?" Marin leaned in.
"I'm watching the top students of the God of War Church do their homework." Jessica laughed when she said this: "Faye's younger brother seems to be a seventh-grade apprentice in the Intelligence and Information Department of the God of War Church, and he is in the sage sequence. β
"The Morvis family's adventurous genes are really strong." Marin muttered as he glanced at the titleβon the deep game behind Chaos' increased invasion of Farol in the last two years.
Which mentally retarded question is this, doesn't he know that this chaos is a tongue bird?
But Marin thought about it - the God of War Church doesn't have to be afraid, according to Marin's intelligence analysis in recent years, their family's God of War is kneeling nine times out of ten, but the clergy of the God of War Church can still obtain divine arts, and this priesthood is only afraid that it is not in the hands of the God of Justice, but in the hands of Ah Fear.
In the hands of the former, what is there to be afraid of.
If it's in the hands of the latter, then there's no need to be afraid.
Anyway, these two are going to die, so they don't have to be afraid of anything if they think about it.
So Marin decided to give this kid a wake-up call: "According to the principle of interests, why don't we think about why Chaos is doing this." β
"Why?" The kid looked up at Marin: "Chaos still wants to ask why?!" β
Are you lying to me?
Marin smiled: "Chaos does give people a sense of capriciousness, but this is the characteristic that Chaos gives them, and the Great Demons and Champions under the name of the Tongue Bird are the most cunning hunters and prey, think about it, what is the chaos of Farol City's invasion this time." β
ββ¦β¦ It is indeed a tongue-learning bird. Joe nodded.
"Think about it, the local chaos has just been defeated, why did he throw his troops here, here, the army of the Duchy of Farol is still in a state of conscription, they can't carry out lightning battles, why should the Tongue Bird invest his army to fight hard with our natives."
Lilim brought a chair for Marin, Jessica pushed a sand table over, Marin stood on the chair and raised his hand, and the sand table immediately changed the topography map of the Principality of Farol: "Your information, the legion of Xueyu Island has descended in the eastern region of Farol, and the Duchy of Tonysman of Jiangbu immediately passed the Chaos Watch Treaty and sent an army to help the Men City in the easternmost part of the Duchy of Farol block the Chaos legion, the two sides are fighting here, and Lady Anna will bring reinforcements from the Mage Tower to participate in the battle, The Church army in the nearby area is also massing, it is a hard-fought battle, it does not fit into the aesthetics of the tongue bird, I don't see a conspiracy here, only blood, it's more like a sadistic style, but it is clear that they are not this legion. β
Then Marin pressed his hand again, and the terrain on the sand table began to include most of the western human world: "If the Tongue Bird wants to attract the attention of all parties through the battle in the Farol region, and then carry out his tricks in areas that we have not been able to think of, then it makes sense, after all, a battle, a battle, is only a part of a war, as long as it is won elsewhere, even the loss of a legion in the Farol region is acceptable." β
Speaking of this, Marin looked at the stunned young man: "Now, you can think again, where will the tongue bird win a lot of money." β
"You're a tongue bird, aren't you?!" This kid thought about it for a long time and only said this sentence.
The girls were paralyzed by laughter, and Faye gave his brother a laugh: "This is not a really funny joke, you idiot. β
"But why ......" the kid pointed to Marin and thought about the adjective for a long time: "...... Big Brother Marlin thinks of such dangerous ideas! β
"Because water is impermanent, soldiers are not tired of deceit, in the human world, war is a continuation of politics, in the final analysis, it is just a transaction, but chaos is not the same as our war, this is a war that destroys everything, we must be more cunning than the tongue bird, remember, if he is a chaos god with a god of conspiracy and trickery, then we will only be persecuted by conspiracy and trickery, remember, everything we do is to let the innocent in this world live." After speaking, Marin looked at Joe: "Now think about it, what will be the goal of the tongue bird." β
"The northern battlefield, now that we have advanced to the central province of the old Ingmar Empire, the battle situation is in our favor, and it is possible that the Tongue Bird will use the battle in the south to attract our attention, and then accumulate strength in the north until we can fight our defenses all the way back to the south."
With Marin's encouragement, the young man's first answer was Marin's nod - yes, yes, it was indeed a point: "But there is more, can you still see it." β
"Well, there is also a direction for the northern countries, the regions dominated by the Boer Kingdom, the Demai Kingdom and the Rednia Kingdom, their displaced people go all the way to the south, this area is now poor, the whole region is controlled by hunger, if the Chaos invades here, it will definitely cause enough kills, the fact is that they have already done so, if they invest a lot of military power...... I'm afraid that the Northern Coalition may not be able to hold it on. β
"That's right, that's one point, and one more point, have you thought of it?" Marin asked with a smile.
ββ¦β¦ Can't tell. The kid quickly shook his head.
So Marin stretched out his hand and pointed at the Eastern Kingdom: "The Eastern Kingdom is also in trouble, although the Church of Justice has reached a temporary peace agreement with it because of this, but the Eastern Kingdom has always bordered the Black Zone and the Death Zone, and Chaos has a certain amount of power in both places, if you send your troops here, you may also get a lot of results." β
Jessica first agreed with Marin's opinion: "That's right, the Eastern Kingdom has always been the poorest kingdom among our kingdoms, and they will suffer greatly in the face of Chaos' attack, and the problem now is that we still can't confirm our target." β
"Yes, that's the advantage of Chaos, we can confirm where they might invade, but we can't confirm the direction of their invasion, and it's even possible that he will choose the fourth point that we don't know, and conspiracy and trickery are like that."
After saying that, Marin jumped out of his chair: "Write what I said, and then add some of your thoughts." With that, Marin reached out and hugged Cross's waist and took a sip of the fluffy bunny girl.
"Let's go, I'll teach you how to make good food."
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
To be honest, most of what Marin taught the girls to do was very easy to do, for example, the carrot soup that Cross has been learning, that is, it needs experience in thickening, but unfortunately I don't know what's going on, this rabbit girl just can't, obviously a genius mage like Faye, a genius in alchemy, how can she be so incompetent as suffocating in thickening.
When they each taught the other girls a dish and let them play freely, Marin once again taught the girls to make thickeners.
And then it failed, but there was good news, this time the carrot soup was at least tasty.
Bringing all kinds of dishes to him, Marlin found that Joe also came over to eat: "I think you should have someone to treat." β
"I'm a waste of the third prince, why should I let others invite me, do you pay?" The kid said as he tried to fork a chop, and his sister tapped the back of his hand with a fork.
"Sister! I'm your own brother! The kid screamed.
"Think about what you just said." Faye gave the kid a blank look.
"At least we have the same father! Sister! The boy continued his pathetic path.
Faye couldn't stand the kid's ability to wail, and Marin also said that he would eat well, and it would be a big deal to cook a few more dishes when the time came.
Marin felt that no matter how much this kid could eat, he couldn't compare to him, a giant, so many vegetables Marin couldn't eat with the girls, and it was nothing compared to a mouth.
Marin regretted it half an hour later, he had done enough for him and the girls to feed the rat maids (and usually there were leftovers), but today the boy had swept up all the food by two-thirds of the way through dinner.
"Sure enough, it's time to grow your body." The girls said that their brother was like this, like a starving ghost reincarnated.
Marin had no choice but to make a few more dishes, feed the boy, and then make a few more dishes for the rat maids.
It's their favorite baked potatoes and fried bugs.
To be honest, Marin wanted to give them some barbecue, but these rat girls said no, Marlin felt that this kind of thing was something you wanted, so he complied with their wishes and made them a meat soup - you see, it's not barbecue, I'm still very reasonable.
The rat maids ate very happily, and their eldest sister was a little afraid that Marin had specially made food for them, but Marin said nothing: "You work for me, I will always be responsible for your diet, and I am not a real nobleman, just like Mo Weishi was just a nobleman a few years ago, and I was just an orphan a few years ago, so I have to remember that no matter what I do, I can't forget what I am, so don't care." Marlin smiled and patted the nezumi girl on the head.
When he was in the orphanage, he was already cooking with a shovel and feeding a few rat girls.
Could it be that when you have some money and status, you forget that you were once a mortal, and you can't wait to change yourself?
Perhaps, everyone has their own ambitions.
But Marin felt that he was not there.
