Chapter 228: The Game Between the Nobles (Part II)
Robin's smile when he heard that the Marquis of Timos had refused Count Huggins' request for a duel,
It made Anse El feel very sleepy, because in his opinion, it was completely a sign of weakness on the part of the Marquis of Timos. And for now, the Marquis of Timos is Robin's employer, in other words, they are on the side of the Marquis of Timos. This made Anse Air very incomprehensible, and did not understand why Robin could still laugh after hearing that the Marquis of Timos was showing weakness.
And Robin naturally saw the surprise shown by Ansel, so he smiled and changed to a more comfortable position: "What do you want to ask?" ”
"I don't understand, is it good news that the Marquis of Timos refused Count Huggins' request for a duel? You know, it was precisely because the Marquis of Timos refused this duel that his reputation among the lower nobles was greatly affected. I think this should be bad news for us from any point of view.
"You're right, from the point of view of the Marquis of Timos, this is indeed bad news. He refused Earl Huggins' request for a duel, which showed that he was not confident of winning the duel. And he was much older than Count Huggins, after all, Count Huggins was only twenty-seven years old, so the oldest of his replicants was only twenty-four.
A twenty-four-year-old warrior is still in his formative years, and the Marquis of Timos should have a fully mature warrior under his command. Under such favorable conditions, he would refuse to fight a duel, which means that Count Huggins' strength is unimaginable, and at the age of twenty-seven, he should already be far superior to the Marquis of Timos, and only in this way will the Marquis of Timos lose confidence and refuse this duel. "Yes." Seeing that Robin could fully see the meaning behind this incident, Anse El couldn't help but become even more incomprehensible.
"You see, Earl Huggins is stronger than the Marquis of Timos in personal strength. Moreover, he was the eldest son of the duke, and in himself he was more favored by the lower nobles than the Marquis of Timos, who was a blue race. Coupled with the fact that he pushed the mutant rebellion along the water, it further weakened the strength of the Marquis of Timos. So no matter which way you look at it, the Marquis of Timos has no chance of winning. Robin used to lightly tapping his fingers on the armrest of the chair and smiled: "The only thing where the Marquis of Timos is stronger than the Earl Huggins is that he supports a large number of lords, and this is also a force to be reckoned with, after all, in a battle, there is no way to win the war with knights alone, which you should know best." ”“……”
Robin's words made Anse El smile bitterly, and he remembered the Battle of the Planet Wendini that brought him painful memories. In that battle, his knights were overwhelmingly powerful, and the Federation's ground forces were simply unable to compete with them. However, Robin used the containment of a small number of elite troops, supplemented by the precision of aerial firepower, to completely neutralize his advantage, and if he did not immediately decide to surrender, Robin would have enough confidence to annihilate his knight force.
"I see what you mean, but is there a connection?"
"If you understand this, then wouldn't Earl Huggins, as the son of the Duke?" Robin smiled mysteriously: "From the moment Huggins Bonose proposed a duel and the Marquis of Timos chose to refuse, Count Huggins has completely gained the upper hand in this competition. In my opinion, Huggins's real purpose in doing this, in addition to winning over the lower nobles who were originally loyal to the Marquis of Timos, should be to destabilize the lords who were promoted by the Marquis of Timos. As for pushing for the mutant rebellion, it is only to further weaken the Marquis of Timos and give the wavering lords a clearer view of the situation. So, for now, Count Huggins' strategy has actually succeeded, and he no longer needs mutants to cause further chaos. After all, in the future, the Brady system will be under his rule, and he has no reason to mess up his future jurisdiction. ”
"There's no use anymore, so it's time to throw it away?" Anse Elton flowed out of the god sè of sudden enlightenment.
"Yes, after all, it's not honorable to push mutants to mess around, and the empire has all-round intelligent surveillance. If I were Earl Huggins, I would have been eager to dissociate myself from these rebellious mutants and never get involved again. So, I'm sure Count Huggins won't stop us from attacking the rebellious mutants, and maybe even make it easier for us. After all, he is now in a sense already in control, and there is no need to cause some unnecessary trouble. Seeing Robin confidently come to this conclusion, Anse Air was stunned in surprise, and asked hesitantly for a while: "How did you come up with it?" I mean, just by the fact that the Marquis of Timos refused to duel, you guessed all the inside story behind it? ”
Yes, that's a crucial message. It was this message that allowed me to connect the whole story. Robin smiled and patted Anse Air on the shoulder: "On the surface, things don't seem to have changed. It's a fact that Count Huggins pushed for a mutant rebellion, and we've been bothered by it before. Right now. The conclusion remains the same. The difference though, I see clearly that Count Huggins is pushing for a mutant rebellion in his entire plan... in the position. If Count Huggins hadn't proposed a duel to the Marquis of Timos, and if promoting the mutant rebellion was his main plan, he would never have allowed anyone to interfere with his plans... Implement. But now, proposing a duel and depriving the Marquis of Timos of his prestige among the lower nobles was his main plan, so the situation was completely different. ”“……”
Seeing Anse El Liu's thoughtful expression, Robin smiled and put his arm around his shoulder: "A lot of times, people are messing with themselves. I am worried because I don't get enough information and can't see the real situation. In fact, this is the way it is, as long as you can grasp the truth of the situation before you start to act, then everything will be very simple. ”
"Is this your insight" Anse El looked at Robin enviously, shook his head and sighed, "What a terrible talent!" ~""I'm just thinking a little bit more than anyone else." Robin got up with a smile and shouted to Seira, who was concentrating on driving in the cockpit, "Turn around, we're not going back to Brady's system." "Huh? Not going back? So where do we go? Seyla looked back in surprise, not understanding why Robin had suddenly changed her mind.
"Go back to the planet Gotha and inform Zolo that he will take the fleet directly to the Michel system, where we will meet him! ~"Planet Gotha, this is the most central planet in the Michel system, and it is also the planet with the largest reserves of Mycenae metal in the entire galaxy planetary group.
Michelle means aster huā in Hebrew because the star Michel can release a very rare purple halo in the universe, which makes the star Michel in space look like a blooming aster huā, which is unbelievably beautiful.
But when you actually set foot on the planetary ground that orbits Michelle, you'll find that this beauty is actually deadly.
It is well known that when the temperature of the flame reaches an extremely high temperature, the light emitted will turn purple. The light of the star Sun is pale yellow, which shows that the temperature of Michel may be hundreds of times that of the Sun. And when this intense ultraviolet light hits the planet, the heat generated is also amazing.
Therefore, although the Michel system has six massive rocky planets and several large individual moons orbiting the planets, only the Gotha planet, which is the farthest away from Michel, can really live. As for the other planets, most of them have surprisingly high surface temperatures, and they are basically semi-metallic planets, which are simply uninhabitable. Even the most "pleasant" climate of the planet Gotha, whose ... [This chapter is not finished, please click on the next page to continue reading!] ]
