Chapter IX Decisions
"Hey, it's your own decision, I'm just helping to analyze it, and I'll give you a suggestion by the way!" Xu Mo muttered dissatisfiedly, shook the wine glass in his hand, and drank it all in one gulp.
"I'm just whining, it's a pity, if I enter Felix's camp and fight with that Leo for a few fights, I guess I can get a second star skill!" Shepis licked his lips and said unwillingly.
Xu Mo was silent for a while, the strength of the star skill, he had already seen it, for Xue Pis, this was indeed an irreparable regret. This is the helplessness of being a reincarnation, when there is a conflict between personal interests and team interests, the interests of the team must come first.
The assassination mission given by Leo is actually a nomination. Regardless of whether the skeleton group can kill the half-elf patriarch or not, as long as they carry out this mission and show considerable strength, they will naturally be used as a help by the eldest prince Felix, so as to receive the main mission of this camp.
During the negotiation process just now, Xu Mo predicted that the eldest prince Felix should also know the secret of the Dragon Crystal vein, and he was also organizing an expedition to go to the dungeon of Drow.
As for why he didn't take over the task of assassinating Phil, Xu Mo gave Xue Pis a detailed analysis.
The second guiding mission of the skeleton group is actually another option given to the skeleton group by the five major spaces, which has advantages and disadvantages. On the plus side, the eldest prince Felix has many supporters, and the escort team is relatively strong, and there may even be high-level powerhouses of the Twelve Dragons Family, which can make up for the relatively weak team strength of the skeleton group.
The disadvantages are also obvious, the more strong the group, the less power the skeleton group has. It is difficult for Shepis to dominate the plot team, so he can only follow the escort team. When encountering team battles, they can't be flexible, and once the escort team fails, they have no power to turn over.
"Why can't you say we can't take on this assassination mission and not join the camp of the eldest prince Felix? We're going to kill Phil anyway. Sherbis asked thoughtfully, sipping from the tavern's stockpile.
"There is no good result for the two ends of the first rat! Paper can't hold the fire, I believe that whether it is the eldest prince Felix or the third prince Brian, I am afraid that some spies have penetrated the periphery of the red rose. The risk of taking on the task is too great for us to afford! Xu Mo shook his head and said with a straight face.
"Can you only give up the mission and assassinate Half Phil?" Shepis smiled wryly.
"Well, so they don't think it's the work of the Red Rose. Because the characters can't understand why we're doing this. And there is another benefit to our abandonment of the assassination mission. Felix is estimated to find a master to assassinate the half-elf patriarch, and when the time comes, we just need to work harder in secret......" Xu Mo said with a chuckle.
"You're sinister...... Everything is done, and the black pot still lets others help you carry it! Shepis rubbed his head and teased, "However, after we kill Phil, will we definitely be able to take the lead of the escort team?" Brian won't parachute another commander, will he? ”
"It's very unlikely!" Xu Mo shook his head and put out his analysis.
Judging from the information provided by the rain people, there are three major military forces in Breeland.
The first is the Royal Knights of Royal Breeland, which belongs to the Royal Guard and does not leave the Royal City in normal times. The army was under the control of the king himself, and no one else could interfere. Even the titular crown prince Felix can only rely on winning over retired officers to influence the political position of the Royal Knights.
The second military force was the Eastern Legion, located east of Breeland, at Waseron and Kenland Fortresses. Due to the need to defend both the religiously fanatical Thrayne and the goblin nation of Dagon, the Eastern Legion is the most numerous and well-equipped, and is the most combat-ready in Breeland.
However, because of this, the Eastern Army was not unified under the leadership of a single general, but was divided into three army groups led by three generals, who only received orders from the king and the high command.
Bryland's last military forces were the Northern Frontier Army at Wardrum Fort and Fort Alacahan in the northern part of the kingdom, and they relied on the natural terrain of Silvermoon Lake, Lake Galifa, and the Greywall Mountains to defend against Orvendale, the Eltien States, and inhuman monsters such as the Harpy, Minotaur, and Medusa of Drom.
Zom is now home to all the humanoid monsters on the continent of Kovare, and even the werewolves hunted by the Church of the Silver Flame have found refuge here. These humanoid monsters, who had been hired and modified by humans in the End-of-Life War, finally had a land of their own.
In fact, Djom is now the largest source of mercenaries. These humanoid monsters are grouped together in the form of ethnic tribes, and due to the lack of systematic organization, and the presence of the Greywall Mountains on the border between the two countries, they pose little real threat to Fort Aracahan.
However, now the enemies of the Northern Army have added one more, the orcs and barbarian tribes from the Demonic Wasteland in the northwest of the continent. Due to the gradual weakening of the Grand Druid Orion, Orvendale and the Demon Wastes began to encroach on the Eltien States.
The Eltien states, whose peaceful life had been shattered, fell apart due to the lack of a unified will to resist. Humans and half-elves living in the plains want to move into Orvendale and Bryland, while shapeshifters in the woods prefer the freedom of Drom.
In fact, many nobles in Breland sent a cross-border request to the royal family, hoping to join the annexation of the Eltien states. If it weren't for the fact that Breland is currently at the threshold of the alternation of royal powers, they would have put this military operation into practice long ago.
Even so, the reinforcement of the Northern Army has been proceeding in an orderly manner. The nobles hoped that after the change of power was over, they would launch a military campaign in the north to annex this rich land in the northwest.
In the First Northern War, the Northern Army expelled part of the combined orc and barbarian forces of the Demon Wasteland and gained a large area of territory south of Eltien. It was also during this war that certain forces of Breeland, the Demon Wasteland, and Orvendale discovered the existence of the Dragon Crystal Vein.
Most of the high-ranking generals of the Northern Army supported the third prince, Brian, but this support was limited to nominal support. After all, the Northern Army is still loyal to the country, and it is impossible to start a rebellion for the sake of a certain prince.
Of course, the Northern Army has given strong support to the Third Prince Brian's Dragon Crystal Vein Plan, and in addition to the high-ranking generals who cannot leave their own stations, they will send a small number of elite knights to participate in Brian's escort team.
Of all the supporters of the Third Prince Brian, the Northern Army was unable to get the high-ranking generals out of the station. The few nobles of the royal city were under pressure and could not show their support on the surface. Therefore, the only important person who can lead the escort team for the third prince Brian is Phil of the Cross family.
This is why the eldest prince Felix must assassinate the half-elf patriarch of the Dragonpattern family. As long as Phil is killed, unless Brian can find a replacement immediately, the Dragon Crystal Vein Project will basically be paralyzed.
"In fact, the assassination plan of the eldest prince Felix is easy to succeed, he doesn't even need to kill Phil, as long as the half-elf patriarch is traumatized and can't travel far." Xu Mo shrugged his shoulders and made a final conclusion about his analysis.
"But the third prince Brian can't trust us completely in such a short period of time." Shepis still had many doubts.
"Of course, he won't leave the negotiation with Drow to us!" Xu Mo smiled and said, "However, I think he will hand over the marching power of the escort team to us." ”
"Indeed, we don't need to have his complete trust, as long as we can protect his messengers!" "Actually, we only need the leadership of the escort work, and we don't need to preside over negotiations with the dark elves!" ”
"You finally get it!" Xu Mo sighed, "Discussing with an idiot like you with thick nerves can easily lower my IQ!" ”
"Cut, it's because you're thinking too complicated, okay?" Shepis pursed his lips, "How can anyone like you, turn the task of the reincarnation into the same as playing chess, take one step and think three steps!" The guiding tasks that are most beneficial to the reincarnation seem to you to have no need to exist at all. ”
"After all, space is not an intelligent creature, according to its arrangement, the joint team may have a chance to complete the task, but the loss of personnel will be extremely huge." Xu Mo said indifferently, "You spent so much money to ask me to come over to help you, didn't you just want the members of the Skeleton Regiment to minimize their sacrifices?" ”
"Okay, when are we going to do it?" Shepis thought about it for a while, and felt that there was nothing missing, so he nodded in agreement.
"Let's recall the other members first, we have to get ready immediately......" Xu Mo grinned.
