"My original plan was to send troops. Help the princess deal with you rebels. However, the Delos Empire also seems to have taken this into account, so it sent its own high-level knights out to prevent future troubles. Among the 2,000 knights who came this time, there were 100 high-ranking knights. Three hundred intermediate knights, one thousand six hundred lower knights. They have a lot of combat experience and are very proficient in all kinds of formations. Our army is not yet familiar with the drill of the formation. This combat power of the Knights of Delos is enough to defeat our militia of tens of thousands in Belmar. In other words, even if we send troops, as long as we don't send enough people, we will still be defeated by the army of the Delos Empire. In the end, it was just useless, and he lost his own troops in vain. So. Eiji laughed. "Ming chose not to use Belmar's forces. Instead, he directly chose a few of his important friends to the heavenly realm. Come and use the power of your Celestial Realm to quell the rebellion in your Celestial Realm. During the time in the Heavenly Realm before, Ming had always been in contact with those nobles, you know. ”

"Because Ming is also a nobleman. He is the son of the general of your country. Hailan said.

"Yes. There are not too many strong allies. Not to mention that the other party is still a child who looks young and has not been deeply involved in the world. It's a godsend. Those old fritters who thought they were cunning and cunning approached Ming one by one. Xiang Ming instilled various crooked theories, such as how dangerous the existence of adventurers was to the celestial realm and Aradd. Akiya seems to have foolishly fallen into their trap. After learning how to drive Magadha, he left the heavenly realm with those adventurers. Eiji laughed. "In order to be able to join your team and let you accept him, Ming has sent you a total of three gifts. ”

Hearing this, Hailan roughly guessed what the situation was.

"The first gift. Tackle tricky adventurers. Brave and righteous adventurers, most of them will choose to join the side of the princess if there is a rebellion. Otherwise, when they return to Belmar, public opinion will be enough to discredit them. An adventurer is a dozen men capable of fighting against a thousand Kahlert's army. They can't be allowed to stay in the heavenly realm. Ming pretended to indoctrinate those nobles and left the heavenly realm with all the adventurers. The first gift convinces the nobles that Ming is a good child. Of course, at this time, those nobles only felt that it was easy to take advantage of it, and they did not intend to accept him as their own. ”

"The second gift. Solve the worries, Caller. At the banquet of the nobles, the nobles accidentally raised the possibility that Callert would fight back. It's just a casual remark they make. Of course, Ming also casually said Arad's method against the defeated country. Indemnity for land cession. Your heavenly realm is one. So there is no such thing as land cessation per se. Kahlert also has only one lawless zone. The aristocracy, however, found another breakthrough. Reparations. In order to succeed, they enlisted the Knights and went to Callert to seek compensation. Because of the low morale of the defeat, and the fact that Kahlert at that time was indeed afraid of the powerful Arradians. With the support of the Knights, the nobles also need to be particularly confident. So in desperation, Khalert compensated almost the amount of bankrupt money. Without money, Callert no longer has the resources to maintain a strong army. The soldiers, who had originally numbered tens of thousands, now have less than two thousand left. In this regard, the nobles finally stopped worrying about those who could not be brought in. This second gift let the nobles know the value of Ming's use. ”

"The third gift. It was Ming who persuaded Toro, a loyal family, to go deeper. For you rebels and thieves, the participation of loyal ministers is necessary. Because it can show your legitimacy on the other hand. Even the loyal ministers of the state have raised the anti-flag, and there is no way for you to raise the anti-flag together. Not to mention that Toro's own family is strong and has a large number of private troops. Of course, it wasn't Ming himself who volunteered to persuade him. It was recommended and persuaded by the nobles. In the eyes of the aristocracy, the sincere words spoken by a child without scheming are the ones who can most impress a sincere person like Toro. And during this time in the Heavenly Realm, the nobles have been with Ming. Brainwash him. He felt that the Heavenly Realm, Ghent was dead, and for the sake of the country and the people, a strong ruler was needed to re-establish a new Heavenly Realm. Akira also showed the posture he deserved. With his eloquence, Ming persuaded Toro to join. This third gift completely made the aristocracy accept this talent, who was both intelligent and easy to control. After all, children are not deeply involved in the world, and they are the easiest to control. ”

Eiji laughed. "It's just that before the nobles recommended Ming to convince Toro, Ming had already slipped into Toro's room one night. Explain to him all the truth. From the very beginning, Toro was the person who was next to the princess. He just acted in a scene with Ming. ”

"I've been here in the Sea of Twilight all this time checking on the remnants of the Andersen monsters. And choose to catch some monsters that seem to be controllable. Although there is contact with those nobles, but a seemingly insignificant child like Ming, they naturally have no need to report it. The corners of Hailan's mouth twitched. "At that time, they inadvertently said that the kid was funny. I know he's smarter. But because I was a child, I let my guard down. Unexpectedly, this child is the root of everything. ”

"That's right. After gaining your trust, Ming began to plan. He can't let your plans come true. Otherwise, with absolute strength, Gent will not last long. So he suggested to Marianne that Toro, who also hated Jack, first convince the royal daughter. For the time being, the army remained outside the city of Ghent. After all, this time things are not glamorous. If you can solve everything with the slightest movement, it will naturally be undesirable. Moreover, Toro's actions can also be used as a starting point to pave the way for the rebels' actions to follow. Since Zhongyan felt that it was contrary to his ears, he used his actions to remind the princess. Marianne accepted the offer that seemed right. Eiji said. "Of course, the purpose of this is not to persuade Her Royal Highness. As long as the army remained out and waited for an opportunity, Ming's purpose was achieved. As long as you don't do it at the beginning and then you do it, it's impossible. And Ming also asked Toro to persuade Barn away. Although the reason is that Barn and other high-ranking officials will not participate in this operation, so as to have a bad reputation for Delos. But it also made Barn's trouble go away. ”

Hailan listened quietly to Eiji's words.

"The purpose of the first step is to calm down all the troops outside the city. The second step is to cut troops. There were about 10,000 soldiers outside the city. There were also more than 2,000 soldiers in the city. A thousand of them were in Marian's hands, and more than a thousand were responsible for guarding the supplies of the nobles in the city. More than 2,000 soldiers have already surpassed the imperial army in Ghent. It's dangerous to stay in town. Therefore, Ming used the secret passage of the palace as a guide, and asked Marianne to arrange hundreds of troops to ambush in several places in the palace. On the surface, it is to intercept the princess from reaching the secret passage. In fact, it was Marianne who dispersed some of her forces. The signal transmission towers in the city of Ghent were completely destroyed. Although this made it impossible for the news of the Ghent mutiny to spread, at the same time, it was very inconvenient for each other to transmit information. The people who ambushed the royal maiden in the palace have been staying in the palace since then. Although the princess is no longer in the palace. First, cut one-tenth of the troops. Next, let Daxter introduce the princess into the secret passage, and at the same time destroy the entrance to the secret passage, so that the princess has no way out. And informed of the exit of Marianne Secret Road. At the same time, Marianne was reminded at this time that she could already let the soldiers attack the town. Eiji said. "But now that the princess is in the secret passage, the exit is already known. The princess is in a state of catching turtles in an urn, so there is no need to let other aristocratic armies come in to grab credit. So Marianne gave the order to attack in order to harass the enemy. Simon attacked first, his own army. The remaining three gates did not move. The defenders of the other gates were afraid of the enemy's attack and were unable to support the west gate. Although it seems to be successful on the surface, Marianne's desire to take credit for it alone is too prominent. "Lazy people listen to books

"Marianne, that stupid woman. Hearing this, Hai Lan's expression was slightly distorted. "She wanted to show her father so much. The idea was exploited. ”

"That's right. It's also for this reason that Ming's plan went so smoothly and only reminded Marianne of the plan. People who are in a hurry to perform are always easy to take advantage of. The garrison of the west gate was only three or four hundred men. Of course, the armies of the other gates were the same. Simon's besieging army numbered 2,000 men, and there was no shortage of ammunition. This battle cannot be lost. But..."Speaking of which, Eiji shrugged. "The first gift I gave at the beginning of tomorrow came in handy. The first gift, to take all the adventurers out of the heavenly realm. This move made the people of the heavenly realm relax their vigilance against adventurers. Even Hailan, you thought it would be okay to lock up Baby Xuxu, Sword Soul, Bingzi and Phoenix Feather. ”

"It's not just Ming, Dast is coming... Wu Yue is here too?" Hai Lan asked. "That kid can go into the sea and catch sharks. How can humans be adversaries. ”

"Correct. Daxter, Wu Yue, and Rex are all here. Eiji's words made Hailan's face look undead. "Simon's attack was going well. But they didn't expect it. Wu Yue actually appeared. He secretly solved the commanding generals of the siege army of Simon one by one. The general at that time, just in case, chose to retreat temporarily. At this time, the second gift also came in handy. ”

"Kahler... Damn, the aristocratic idiots who drill into the eyes. Hailan lowered her head weakly.

"That's right. At the beginning of his arrival in the Heavenly Realm, Ming arrived at Kahler. He informed part of the plans for the operation. and transferred the nobles' unauthorized reparations to Callert, so that Callert's anger against the nobles was provoked and he sent troops. As a result, the retreating siege army at the west gate was flanked by Kahlert in the rear and the defenders in the front. Two thousand and finally a few hundred surrendered. Under the guarantee of Wu Yue, and informed the defenders of your rebellion. Kahlert was able to enter the city. Kahlert also had only about a thousand troops. So in order to circumvent the enemy. They are divided into three ways. All the way, go to the residential area of the nobles and attract the attention of the noble army. All the way, to the place where the nobles' belongings gathered. Looting the property of the nobles. All the way, Wu Yue led the way to the exit of the secret passage to ambush it. Eiji said. "The reason why Ming chose that secret passage as a good place to catch turtles in the palace of the princess. It is because the exit of that secret passage is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the mountain is high and the road is long and the forest is deep. It's a good place for soldiers to ambush. Wu Yue led this team of only one or two hundred people to ambush in the mountains and forests. Then, when those aristocratic armies gambled at the exit of the secret passage, thinking that everything was in their hands. Wu Yue's army occupied the favorable terrain on the top of the mountain and annihilated the noble army under the mountain. This time, it annihilated about fifty percent of Marianne's troops. And the princess was also saved. ”

"And what about the army that guards the supplies? How could Callert's already small army be an opponent of the thousands of troops of the noble army. Hailan asked unconvincedly.

In this way, Ming's third gift also came into play. Eiji smiled again. "Forget? Toro is the Queen's side, and he has soldiers in his hands. It was also scattered at the east gate. But from the very beginning, the fight did not intend to attack the city gates. When Ming's plan was implemented, he sent people to make Dongmen's own army surrender. And let the defenders of the West Gate lead their own army to the rear of the noble army on the grounds of supporting the noble army. Together with the hundreds of troops of Kalert. Forward and backward pinching. When the noble army found out that this soldier wearing the same uniform as himself was actually an enemy, it was too late. ”

Ming's hands clapped together. The crisp sound made Hailan's pupils dilate suddenly.

"This time. These thousands of noble armies were all wiped out. As a result, there were originally more than 2,000 noble troops in the city. More than 100 people were scattered in the palace, 4 or 500 people were captured at the secret passage, and more than 1,000 people were lost by the front and back of the guards. Now there are only a pitiful four or five hundred men left in the city of Ghent. But if these four or five hundred people were to trap them in the beast fight, it would be very dangerous. Eiji said. "It's come to this point. In fact, the subsequent development was somewhat unexpected. Because Ming's plan has only gone so far. ”

"What?" Hailan looked at Eiji in surprise. "Every step is missed, but it stops at this step. ”

"Because if it really fights, the Imperial Capital Army is definitely not the opponent of the noble army. Ming's plan, the purpose of the beginning, was to let the aristocratic army fight among themselves. He cut Marianne's soldiers again and again. It is to make Marianne, the leader, lose the right to speak. The leaders of this rebellion are actually you, who have the coast guard, and Marianne, who has the most troops and financial resources. But now, you are in the sea of twilight, and you can't command. Marianne's forces were reduced to less than half of the other nobles, and supplies were taken away by Kahlert. At this time, Marianne's voice did not work. It is the one who has the most troops who works. It's a pity that except for Marianne, the rest of the minor nobles have about the same strength. So none of them will make a move. will only wait and see everything, and then attack when it is opportunity. Eiji said. "Removing the leader and letting his subordinates contain each other, this is the ultimate goal of Ming's plan. As long as those people don't make a move, and then leave Ghent City with the royal daughter, there will still be a chance. ”
