Section 424 X Ropeway of Courage X (1)
"I remember hearing that you commanded a large number of soldiers in battle." Humphrey wrote.
"yes." Wang Luo looked at him and replied. "But after seeing that kind of fight in the ring, I feel that this kind of fight is better in the hands of professionals."
"Even so, wouldn't it be better for you to focus more on the battlefield? These contents and theories are all correct, though. But after all, it was the enemy who put it forward. Humphrey wrote. They won't approve of it. ”
"Man recognizes theories based on reality. Even if the theory proposed by the enemy is in their interest, people will still involuntarily act according to that theory--- and even, because they are enemies, they will be eager to understand the situation on my side, the strategies I have adopted, and the actions I have carried out.... Something like that. ”
"In other words, it really doesn't matter if you live or die?"
"Leave to die and come back to life." Wang Luo replied. "Fall into the dead and survive. No matter how dangerous a place is, there is always a chance to live. ”
This time, Humphrey was silent for a long time before picking up his pen. "You don't plan to pursue what happened to Bolie just now?"
"What is there to pursue if you waste your energy in vain?" Wang Luo wrote. "He didn't do anything really destructive."
"Even if I were to go through the same thing, you wouldn't care?"
Wang Luo couldn't help but look at Humphrey. "Did you encounter it?"
"Nope." Humphrey's bones trembled a few times, as if he were laughing. "You seem to have a pity?"
"How so?" Wang Luo also smiled. "In the face of my heart-attacking strategy, our enemies shouldn't send too many people--- it won't do them any good."
"Will it affect them? But many of the ideas you mentioned in succession are contradictory, is that okay? Humphrey put the manuscript on the table.
"Give them a little more choice." Wang Luo wrote. "At the moment, there is still too little information about their specific situation. Then change a few more angles and show them the different benefits of the conflict. ”
"No one thinks they're getting less in the best of it. Their form of organization as a king--- nobles--- commoners, in the final analysis, is very weak. There is no sacrifice and worship of ancestors, there are no gods to believe in and priests to maintain their mental state, there are only mages engaged in scientific research.... This means that their identity is weak. ”
"Well, they used to seem to have it." Humphrey replied. "But then before they could challenge the gods, the priests left."
How do you know?
"Anyway, there is no spiritual bond in this regard." Wang Luo wrote. "In other words, what maintains and unites their team is inertia, and second, the common desire to become human again."
Humphrey nodded.
"At the time of such action. No matter what the superior claims, the subordinate will definitely look forward to the result. At this time, what do you think angry soldiers will do if they reveal information that a nobleman is colluding with the enemy to maintain the status quo? ”
"If our previous propaganda worked. There are nobles who plan to take advantage of the opportunity to gain benefits from mages, so what will those mages do after this kind of news appears? ”
"The nobles must pay a lot of tongues and prices." Humphrey replied. "But even if that's the case, what if they're very resolute? What if they can still suppress the contradictions for the time being, work together, and leave the internal problems until we are eliminated? ”
"That's a contest of willpower." Wang Luo wrote. "To shake the enemy's mentality is like pulling a frozen sled."
"It looked like it was completely frozen with the ground, and all we could do was smash the freeze around it and pull hard in front of it. It's hard to get it moving, and some people may pull it for a while and despair when they see it not moving; But in reality, if you let it move, it will run fast on the ice. ”
"The same is true of these enemies of ours. These propaganda manuscripts are equivalent to shredding work. It didn't seem to work immediately, but it kept knocking and accumulating. The amount of ice is limited, and it will all crumble eventually. ”
Humphrey picked up the pen. "If the wolves attack you while you're smashing..."
"Then you can only pick up the shotgun and fight back." Wang Luo wrote. "There must be a reason why the enemy didn't attack. But we don't need to worry about that kind of thing at the moment, whatever the reason is, we just do what we have to do. ”
"What are you going to do next?" Humphrey continued.
"I thought that if I could create a legitimate name for my side at this time, and provide some reason for the enemy's ordinary soldiers--- then it would not be impossible for them to give up and change their positions."
"In the right name." Humphrey wrote. "Even if you don't care about the curse, it's definitely going to be a long process to provide them with a way out."
"The question is, what kind of name is better?" Wang Luo wrote. "A messenger sent by fate to guide them? In the case of too little is understood. What about the image of a 'determined and powerful, intelligent and proud enemy'---- that only makes them laugh? ”
"It's not good enough." Humphrey replied.
"Actually, as an enemy who is in a desperate situation, he still does not fear. Such an image should resonate with them to a certain extent, because they are almost the same kind of people. Wang Luo wrote. After their internal contradictions have been brewed and developed more deeply, when such contradictions lead to conflicts and make them feel that their strength is insufficient, they are not less likely to seek help from external forces. ”
"Then you'll be able to take advantage of them." Humphrey wrote.
"Let's take advantage of each other." Wang Luo looked at him and replied. "People, even if they receive an order to carry out such and such a task. But they also always have their own interests, values, moral fetishes, and principles to adhere to, and things like that--- just like the lady who was entangled with the Rooster team before. ”
Humphrey nodded, looking at the castle from before.
"I don't mean to reject the idea that they want to get rid of the curse and become human again. Even if they have done anything excessive--- as long as they don't do it again, then I will stop fighting. ”
"It's hard to say." Humphrey wrote. "They're going to attack again."
"yes, I think so too." Wang Luo wrote. "Then you can only fight back. But this kind of attack should be more due to psychological and operational inertia--- before we killed those beasts, it should be able to prove our strength to a certain extent, and dispel part of the effect of this inertia. If the next few battles can be fought well, the power of this inertia will be exhausted. ”
