"Avi, are you sure about marching and fighting?" asked Gadia during a break in the meeting.

Avi hesitated for a moment and nodded heavily, "I have not slackened my study of military knowledge, and I believe that I can command... Command a troop of troops. ”

"Very well, according to the Regent's wishes, I intend to assign a force under your command," Gadia is more composed and steady than Fenrir and Eggsey, and unlike ordinary women, she doesn't even have any family matters to deal with, "That force may be deployed at the Kestrel Academy." Gadia looked down slightly as she said this, which made Avi feel as if he was asking for his opinion.

"I... Of course I can accept such a task," Avi wiped his ears with his hand, "but why did you deploy that unit at the Kestrel Academy?"

Gadia turned to look at Reeves, the masked man standing in the corner, his eyes closed.

"He's the reason. ”

"I... I don't really understand what you mean. ”

"We need to keep our backs safe and stable as we move from afar, and for the Kingdom of Salins, Mallote is our heart, and the Kestrel Academy is an important factor in the heartbeat. Before and after the outbreak of future wars, the Kingdom of Sallins needs a large number of suitable officers, and those who have been under Byron, Amsoil, or Walter cannot be fully trusted, and Lord Regent wants to choose from among the young members of the Kestrel Academy. ”

Gadia lowered her voice as she said this, sounding a bit like a man's voice. After listening carefully to the other party's explanation, Avi nodded silently, he was undoubtedly the first of these young officers, Bradley, who had studied from the Kestrel Academy, valued the Kestrel Academy very much, and also valued Avita, otherwise he would not have let him participate in such an important meeting.

In addition to the Duchy of Deraman, Bradley also proposed to everyone present the policy of different periods - Bradley divided the plan of the Kingdom of Salins to unify the continent into three periods.

The first period is the one-year "reinvention period". During the period from 950 to January 951, Bradley planned that the kingdom of Sahlins would be greatly expanded, and that the military power that had already been lost in various places would be concentrated in the capital, to the queen's side. The number of troops expected to be 300,000 was to be numbered, a number that frightened the few nobles present, whose army strength was no more than 10,000, and they were not always in the territory. These nobles feared that Bradley would ask them for so many troops, but Bradley gave the exact opposite.

The regent intended to use the wealth accumulated by the Kingdom of Sahlins over the years to encourage the people who joined the army. Bradley targeted the young civilians, those who had long since moved away from the war. Of course, in addition to money, Bradley also intends to re-instill the former concept and will into the people, so that the people of the Kingdom of Salins, who once admired force very much, realize that only by unifying the continent can they truly protect their homeland.

Avi had read a lot of history about the country being dragged down by years of war, so he was worried about Bradley's plan. Although Avi could not find a suitable reason for the Kingdom of Sallins to unify the continent, he could not find a more suitable regime than the Kingdom of Salins, a regime that would bring lasting peace to the continent, because he believed in Bradley.

The second period, beginning in January 951, was a five-year period of five years to capture the capitals of the four nations, one by one, along the lines of Winter, Ibon, Koseferti, and Grincor. This period is what Bradley calls the "Conquest Period", and the four nations must be conquered, and their capitals will be the most important obstacle to continental unification. As long as Glyncoe is occupied by the banner of the Kingdom of Sarins, the ambitions of this continent can be completely wiped out.

In Bradley's eyes, both the Western Oguna Empire and the Republic of Marvell can be "persuaded", these two countries are considered to have no ambitions, they are only acting for the choice and will of certain people, for the Kingdom of Salins, they can be shoulder to shoulder comrades, especially the miracle that appeared in the Battle of Doret, Bradley believes that those powers cannot be used at will, otherwise the Western Oguna Empire would have unified the entire continent long ago. It remains to be seen whether the Papal States in the center of the continent will emerge less than half a year ago, and Bradley has no plans to clash with the alliance that unites towns and nobles.

Avi was apprehensive about the plans of the "Conquest Period", especially the Theoguna Empire, which bordered the kingdom of Salins completely, and where there was the Virgen Golia, whom Avi was very jealous of. Believing that Golia's ambitions would never be under King Adam and Electro Somme IV, something the Lord Regent had not yet realized, Avi planned to give Bradley what he thought about it after he had thought it through.

The last period is called the "Pacification Period". Just like the six months after Koth became Queen of the Kingdom of Salins, it takes time for the people and rulers to heal the wounds of the past, and whatever the cause of those injuries must be dealt with. However, this last period is also the briefest, because by the time the Kingdom of Salins was able to take the capital of the Grimmko, the capital of the empire, the people here were probably already intoxicated with the incomparably great madness, and who cared about the people.

"This era is called the 'Mercenary Age', and we will also use the mercenaries to serve us," Bradley suddenly mentioned after roughly explaining his grand plan, "The Mercenary Guild should cooperate rather than fight, and I will have a meeting with their president, tentatively in a month's time, in Winter City." It will also be the first step out of our plan, and we will not waste the opportunity. ”

The last time Bradley's determination appeared was when Amber rebelled, and Avi was well aware of the responsibility he had to take upon attending the meeting. He, like everyone else, echoed Bradley's words in unison, and he was also beginning to think about how he should play his part.

This momentous meeting lasted a day and a half, and by the time Avi walked out of the basement chamber, it was already dusk. The dim yellow light made Avi feel a different kind of comfort, and staying in a place where there was only candlelight would blur his vision, Avi rubbed his eyes and let out a long yawn.

"Hey, Avi," Eggsy patted Avi on the shoulder behind him, "be careful not to leak out what is going on here, not everyone is as trusted as we are." ”

Avi nodded, "I see, the content of this meeting will only be in my stomach." ”

"Well, for us, the only one we can fully trust is Lord Regent, even if... Queen, she also needs to keep enough distance. ”
