Ray opened his mouth a little hesitantly but closed his mouth again, Shagru smiled and said, "Ray, you say, what do you want to say?"

Lei hesitated and pointed to the Teke Canyon and said, "Your Majesty, since this is our only weakness, why don't we build a wall here? In this way, even if we are the first to attack the Bicester Empire in the future, we don't have to worry about the intervention of the armies of other empires. ”

Shagru raised his eyebrows and nodded repeatedly: "Very good, just do what you do, indeed, building a wall here can give us more time to react, well, Krees, you can do this thing." Build me a city in Turk Canyon and immigrate 200,000 people... We have captured some of the coalition soldiers, and we have not yet agreed on how much money to redeem them at the time of this negotiation, so let them go to work as coolies, and start work as soon as spring begins next year. ”

Shaxx smiled cautiously: "Your Majesty, this suggestion of Lord Lei has another benefit. ”

Shagru was stunned for a moment: "Oh?

Shaxx smiled and said, "Oh, well, our massive construction of the walls in Turk Canyon is tantamount to declaring to the outside world that our empire has begun to adopt a defensive system. At the same time, I can disseminate some information that is unfavorable to our empire through certain channels, such as we can't find too many troops for a while, or the domestic grain and grass stocks are insufficient, etc., so that the other party will have a wrong judgment, and when we attack the Smart Empire, maybe they will still be celebrating the harvest of our three provinces. ”

Shagru laughed: "Wonderful, wonderful, General Lei, I didn't expect your idea to be really wonderful." ”

Ray's face turned red. He instinctively felt that since the war was going to start, he couldn't say that he would lose the battle, so he wouldn't be in a hurry to build a wall in Turk Canyon in advance, and he would have to pay those heavy prices, right?

Shagru nodded, pondering for a while: "Shaxx, these things are your task, then, you go and carry them out for me, understand?。。。 Well, General Lei, your idea is very good, think about it, what other good ideas are there?"

Ray was stunned for a moment, pointed to his nose and said, "I? I... ”

Jerry smiled and patted his arm, and said, "Just say what you think, just like your longbowmen, these are for Master Krees to arrange craftsmen to rush to work, there are too few magicians in our empire, so longbowmen are very necessary for us." ”

Lei nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, I tried the power of this kind of longbowman when I was in the 'Divine City', and those sinners couldn't resist it." Well, if I can equip 20,000 longbowmen in the Dragon Legion, I guarantee that I can kill a lot of enemies... However, if I talk about this, I can discuss it directly with Lord Krees at that time, and I have other ideas. ”

Gaddafi's fist slammed into him: "Okay, Ray, say anything boldly, there is nothing that you can't speak." ”

Ray hesitated for a while, and finally spoke: "When I was in the Silver Wolf Legion, I saw those magicians of the Legion defending the magic of the Smart Empire, and I was thinking, if our magicians can be a little more, then when fighting, even if they can't kill and injure the other party's soldiers, they can at least protect us from the enemy." ”

Mei Suo frowned, and said helplessly: "But Lord Lei, there are only two or three magician academies in our Van Empire, and they can't train many magicians at all." Unless you recruit those magicians from other empires, however, Lord Shaxx has tried many methods, buy them with money, their magicians don't care about money, coerce them, the spies they are not their opponents, and the empires are very protective of magicians, I am afraid it will be difficult for us to have too many magicians in a short period of time. ”

Ray licked his lips and said suddenly: "When I was hunting in the mountains, there was a way to hunt beasts, which was to put the cubs of the beasts in the traps, no matter how dangerous the traps were, even if they saw the flaws, they would rush over to save their cubs... We... Isn't it too much to use this tactic?"

Shaxx slapped him hard and shouted viciously, "I thought, oh my God, why didn't our brains turn around? We used to only pay attention to those magicians, but not to the magicians' families, and this is because we can't access the information of those magicians." However, if we figure out a way, we will always find a way to find out where the families of those magicians live, and when the time comes, we will secretly kidnap all their families, I don't think they will be tempted?"

Messeau said cautiously: "I am afraid that this kind of method will cause a very violent reaction from other countries." ”

Shaxx sneered: "We did it secretly, who knows that it was our Van Empire who did it? What's more, we can do these things through several well-known killer groups and assassin groups on the mainland, hmph, as long as we give money, those guys' mouths are very stable, even if they show their mouths, we can completely deny this matter." ”

Byric added: "We can find a deep mountain near the imperial capital and build a secret residential area for the relatives of those high-ranking mages, and send heavy troops to guard it, as long as those mages come to our empire, will they still be able to do so when the time comes?"

The treacherous light in Shagru's eyes kept flashing, and after a long time, he finally nodded slowly: "Very good, just do it, but everything has to be done very secretly, I don't want to be attacked by various countries in the world, understand? Hehe, General Lei, many of your opinions are very good, in fact, war is similar to hunting, speaking of which, maybe you have much more experience in hunting than we have in war, so if you have any good ideas in the future, you must tell us as soon as possible, understand? I will reward you." ”

Lei Hanhan laughed, he nodded gently, but he didn't know what to say.

Shagru exhaled with satisfaction, and he said with a smile: "In the past seven years, I have always forgotten that I am also a knight of the fifth order of gold, and I have forgotten that I am also a very powerful knight... Thank you to the coalition forces of the Six Nations, they reminded me of who I am and what I should do. Maybe it's a little late, but it's still too late, isn't it?"

The Messeau bowed happily and paid their respects to Shagru.

Shagru smiled and said, "Very well, you must remember what I said tonight, you must remember. Well, the garrison of the 'Divine City' will not be able to appear for many years, so it is the best time for us to sweep the entire continent with the powerful military power of the Empire. Hey, please, everybody. ”

Gaddafi and the others bowed at the same time, and Shagru also bowed slightly in a reserved manner, indicating his trust and reuse of everyone.

Jerry, they knew that at this point, it was time to leave. Shagru's actions tonight were to show these courtiers that he wanted to work hard, that he wanted to change his image and methods, so he would recruit them. And Jerry, it's because they know Shagru's bottom line that they can let go of things. The fact that such a meeting was convened immediately after the award proved that Shagru was still very smart.

As soon as everyone walked to the door, Shagru whispered: "Jerry, you have to remember, although I have canonized you as the heir of the family by the king's order, but the people of your family will definitely make some moves, don't let me down... If your grandfather gave all the territory to your uncles, then what use would it be for you to inherit the position of head of the family at that time? ”

Jerry didn't look back, just replied: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty has given me a strong reason to take over the entire family, and if I can't fully obtain the power of the entire family, I will not be able to see Your Majesty again." ”

Shagru smiled, pressed his hand against the wall, and walked out of a secret door...

Ray and the others walked out of the palace slowly, and after standing wordlessly at the gate of the palace and looking at each other for a while, the old men of Messeau and the others nodded heavily, boarded their carriages, and walked away quickly surrounded by a group of guards. Gaddafi also muttered a few words, saying: "You two, if there is a show, go and have fun by yourself, I have been fooling around with you for a few days, and the wife at home has an opinion, and I must accompany her tonight, really... Tomorrow, tomorrow Jerry will take Ray to the academy to have a look, if you want, go to Wei's house and walk around, but it's better not to go, so that others won't see you and be sad for a while, understand?"

Jerry and Ray bowed silently, Gaddafi sighed heavily, and after exhaling a large cloud of white mist in the cold air, he stepped on his horse and ran away with a group of knights.

Ray and Jerry walked side by side towards the mansion, Ray was silent for a while, and suddenly asked: "Jerry, don't you say it's strange, Your Majesty actually knows a lot of things about us on the front line, I feel that he knows a lot of things, but he is not on the front line, how can he know?"

Jerry chuckled under his breath: "Oh my God, Ray, don't you know that there are His Majesty's people in the army? In fact, not only Your Majesty, but also the aristocratic circles of the imperial capital, what can be hidden from us? ”

Ray asked, "What's wrong with Milomi-sama?"

Jerry snickered: "Milomi was provoked by Ou to Carry, but he was taught a bad lesson, and ran out of the imperial capital to cover his shame for a while, and he should hide it from me? Otherwise, how do you think I know that it was that sister from Kari Ou who was in his carriage last night?"

Ray opened his mouth wide in surprise and stared blankly at Jerry.

Jerry smiled, slapped him hard, and said with a smile: "Lei, you have officially entered the aristocratic circle of the imperial capital, but you still have a lot to learn." A lot of things that you have to learn. However, I can see that Your Majesty just appreciates that you don't understand anything, because you don't understand anything, so you won't have a relationship with those treacherous and cunning nobles, and Your Majesty will trust you more. ”

Lei shook his head and sighed: "It's so complicated, I'm a fool, I can't learn it." ”

Jerry laughed: "Ray, you'll learn, it won't take long, I promise, you'll become a standard noble... But why hasn't that Cretan guy come back to pick up your mother?"

Ray cursed in a low voice: "That Cretan guy, when he comes back, I'm going to break his leg, it's been delayed for so long, but maybe it takes so long, just wait... ”

The sound of horses' hooves, stepping on the cool stone slab away...
