Section 652 Clumsy concealment
Dr2617-03-10,am10:11
Red Dragon Principality, Chamber of the Red Fort.
At this time, the hall was noisy, and there was no solemn silence at all. Because the "military and political discussion" is now underway, all the high-ranking figures of the Northern Alliance are present at the meeting.
The conference hall, which can accommodate thousands of people, is a little crowded at the moment, not only is it full, but the door and the walls are crowded with people. Shoulder to shoulder, overcrowded.
Anyone who can appear here and have a seat is none other than the powerful people of the Red Dragon and the Black Feather. If you don't have a title above the title of Viscount of Strength, don't think about sitting down.
If Chen Xing is here, with his status on the surface, I am afraid that he can only squeeze at the door to watch the excitement.
Alia, the leader of the Northern Alliance, sat on the throne at the top, the back of the chair was several meters high, and on either side of the throne stood the secretary general Lacey and the great priest Yeyang Bailiu.
There is a throne on the left and right of the next step, the height of the back of the chair is slightly lower than the previous throne, and the Grand Duke of the Red Dragon Salod and the Duke of Black Feather Dongfang Xuanyuan sit respectively, and standing next to the throne are their military ministers.
The platform is divided into three steps, from high to low, and the lowest step is the middle of the lectern, on which several microphones are inserted.
A woman with a serious face dressed in a professional suit stood next to the podium.
"Bang Bang!"
At the signal of Secretary General Lacey, the woman standing next to the podium picked up the gavel and struck it a few times.
"Silence!"
The hall immediately fell silent, and everyone looked at the high platform. Hold your breath for fear of missing a detail.
I saw Secretary General Lacey's long skirt fluttering, walking down the steps with two long legs.
With a figure of more than 1.75 meters and 10 cm of high heels, such a height is enough to make most men ashamed of themselves, coupled with a cold and noble temperament, they look extremely strong. It's like a dazzling star, making people can't open their eyes.
Lacey walked to the podium, and due to her height, she could only bend down slightly, otherwise she would be too far away from the microphone, which would affect the amplification effect.
But in this way, the chest line is exposed, which makes people's blood rage. Not to mention the men present, even the women felt shortness of breath and couldn't help but take a few more looks.
Lacey glanced around, her mouth opening lightly, and spit out clear and pleasant syllables.
"Today we will elect three generals who will be responsible for three fronts."
"The direction of the Principality of Weasel, the direction of the Principality of the River Sparrow, the direction of the Principality of Chiyan."
"Those who are interested can recommend themselves or others."
Lacey made a "please" gesture toward the podium before returning to Aria.
After a while, the scene became noisy again. The magnates exchanged heads and whispered discussions. Although they were trying to control their voices, there were so many people in the room that a little noise from everyone was enough to turn this place into a market.
It wasn't until the eldest prince, Gavin Maris, came to the podium that the magnates stopped communicating and the scene became quiet again.
"The first line of the river sparrow, the west of the white night, the south of the river sparrow, the east of the red rock, and the monitor lizard city to form a horn, has been a strategic place in the country since ancient times."
"I am willing to lead the troops to stick to this place, take strict precautions, and wait for the opportunity to move."
With his back to the throne, Gavin turned to bow to Arya on the throne before stepping back.
The scene was in an uproar, and the sound of discussion was several times higher than before.
Because everyone speculated that the eldest prince, Gavin Maris, would go to the Red Rock Front.
There are two reasons, one is that the Red Rock Front is the most likely to break out into war, and the other is that Ricardo is a staff member of the Great Prince. Up and down the Red Dragon Principality, and even in the entire north, Ricardo was the strongest military commander and the best candidate to fight against the Red Rock Principality.
Unexpectedly, the eldest prince gave up the front line and chose the Puffin front, which was the least likely to break out into war.
Because behind the Duchy of Puffin is Trilis, and fighting the Duchy of Puffin means going to war with the Queen's Party, and obviously neither side thinks it is the right time.
And the decision of the eldest prince was also discussed with Ricardo.
Ricardo was well aware of the temperament of the person above, and would definitely be troublesome and use the tactic of "pushing past".
She definitely can't look down on the Weasel Principality, so the first recommendation is Chiyan, and then pushes it all the way over, unifies the northwest, and finally forces the Weasel to surrender.
But the Chiyan Mountains are easy to fight? Since ancient times, how many famous people have folded on this laterite rock. The best tactic to deal with Chiyan is to besiege but not attack until they are exhausted and surrender automatically.
In Ricardo's view, the best way at present is to form an expeditionary force, bypass the Red Rock Mountains, and attack the Silverclaw Principality from the Northern Wilderness. Although the road is long and takes a long time, it is safe.
However, Ricardo knew that with Alia's character, the first battle must be a strong attack on Chiyan.
But I didn't know that the terrain of the Chiyan Mountains was steep, coupled with the rainy weather in March and April, the slopes were slippery, and even ten times the strength of the troops could not be beaten, not to mention that the total strength of the Red Dragon Principality and the Chiyan Principality was only two to one.
Unless she makes a move herself, she will lose.
Whatever the outcome, the generals in charge of this front did not have a good life. At the lightest, the armor is abandoned, and the worst is the death of Huangquan.
So Ricardo retreated and petitioned the Puffin front.
As for direct advice, he does not have this basis of trust. Not only will it not be accepted if you say it, but it will also be seen as a disobedient act of arrogance.
And he knew in his heart that in terms of strategy, Lesie beside Alia was not much worse than him. It's just that Lacey is too dazzling in other aspects, covering up her military talents. Even the other party's cronies may not be able to speak out, let alone an outsider.
The "dementia" of the supreme strong is almost inevitable. The powerful power brings the arrogance of the empty eyes, and gradually the details will be ignored, and the pursuit of one force will be reduced to ten meetings, and the situation will be broken by force.
Aliya has just been promoted to the king level for less than three years, and her strength is at the top of the heavenly list, known as the "strongest personal legion".
At present, only the "Holy Angel Legion" has a higher evaluation than her, but it is the "grafting secret method" of the Holy Light Church. The Holy Angelo Legion is a "sacred realm" left over from the previous pope, and it takes three legendary powerhouses to activate.
Such a strong personal strength, coupled with the lack of experience in dealing with the supreme powerhouse, will inevitably lead to many mistakes in decision-making.
In this world, there is no military genius who can truly be "invincible", they just never fight uncertain battles.
Ricardo's retreat made many people see the problem clearly, and they invariably chose to remain silent. But there is no shortage of people who are eager to perform and reckless at any time.
The old-fashioned Earl George was one of them. After defeating several rivals, Count George was given the position of general of the Red Rock Front.
Earl George was born in the Peggy family in the monitor lizard city, and the family's overall strength ranked among the top five families of the Duchy's gate lords, and he had a high reputation among the old-school nobles.
The position of general is not something that anyone can do, and it must have enough prestige to pull up the ranks.
The military system of the Red Kingdom has always followed the ancient way. Each feudal lord is relatively independent, as long as the general direction is correct, he can fight with whomever he wants.
That's when it comes to prestige. The higher a person's prestige, the more people he can win over, and the stronger the military power he will form.
Count George's prestige among the old-school aristocracy, and his ability to become a general on the Red Rock Front, allowed him to gather feudal lords who were willing to follow him and form legions.
Prestige means what followers you have, and position means what you can get and what you can get and what you can do in the future.
To put it simply, it is to give a position and a part of the funds, and the subordinates are all recruited by themselves. If they fail, everyone will disperse and go back to their respective homes.
This military system is not as strong as the mobilization ability of the centralized monarchy of Qingguo, and it is impossible to form a large-scale army in a short period of time, and the unity and coordination are relatively poor, and it is easy to fall into a situation of fighting on its own.
However, the error correction rate is high, and it is not easy to make the extreme mistake of being led by sheep to send lions to death, and everyone is fighting for their own interests, and there are relatively few cases of colleagues pitting each other.
Overall, each has its own advantages and disadvantages.
"Come on, Earl George, you will bring glory to the Peggy family."
Alia's words of encouragement made Count George seem to be twenty years younger, and his whole body was radiant.
If Chen Xing were here at this moment, he would definitely find that Count George looked very much like his predecessor at the moment.
The young man with a heart of blood, inspired by the beautiful girl, and then died under the poison of the corpse......
A few days later, the peaceful town of Orchid welcomed a group of "guests".
According to Chen Xing, a group of people came to ask for food.
John Prader, Mayor of the Edge Town of Prader. As an old-school aristocrat, responding to the call of the lord of the country and leading his subordinates into the torrent of history is a supreme honor and the meaning of his life.
John Prader, together with the mayors of several fringe towns around Prader, prepares to travel to monitor lizard city to support the war.
He knew that the mayor of Roast Duck Town, Bert, was also an old-fashioned nobleman, and he wanted to convince him to go with him.
Unexpectedly, Mayor Bert said that he had joined the Hanging Skull Alliance and advanced and retreated together with the president, Baron Chen Erliu. The implication is that without the boss's nod, he won't go anywhere.
Mayor John had met the Baron Chen before, and had a not-so-pleasant exchange. The two sides disagreed and could not reach a consensus.
But he still came to Orchid Town, trying to convince the other party, after all, more strength means more contribution.
When Mayor John and a few friends came to Chen Xing's mansion and saw the young maids all over the garden, they all shook their heads and sighed.
"The world is declining, and the people's hearts are not ancient......" "Just when you are making contributions, you are here in the wind and snow." "Young people are greedy for pleasure, and their playthings are demoralized, and they ...... if they are not desirable" and "There is no hope for the future of our country."
"Welcome to the town, my host has prepared refreshments and is waiting for you."
After receiving a few mayors' door stickers, Lao K came out with a group of maids to greet him.
Lao K pretended meticulously, serious and rigorous but with a friendly attitude, and immediately won the favor of the mayors.
As an old-school aristocrat, a decent housekeeper is very important. Lao K used to work in a big aristocratic family, and his standards were much higher than those of the small nobles in the marginal towns, so they could naturally be amazed.
But as soon as they turned their heads, the mayors found that the master had not come out to greet him in person, and began to shake their heads and sigh again.
Chen Xing was in the living room when he saw the mayors come in, and got up and signaled. It's just that as the master, the symbolic action, in fact, he doesn't welcome the other party very much in his heart. Just out of courtesy, had to be received.
Words are not speculative for more than half a sentence. Nine times out of ten, he can guess the other party's intention, which is nothing more than encouraging him to be cannon fodder. He would never do this kind of thankless work.
"Mayors, please be seated."
Seeing Yuecanglia stepped forward to entertain. The mayors of the town were all dazzled, and secretly sighed that the maid was handsome.
The mayors were surprised to see that she was a court maid. Such a face is rare in the world, and the Ice Blue City must be fighting for blood, but he didn't expect to end up in this marginal town.
couldn't help but guess about the identity of this Chen Erliu, and I was jealous.
