Chapter XIX Planning

"Put it away," Roy flipped through and handed the ledger to Malt, "This is our family's old book.\\"

Hearing the words "our family", Mai'er was overjoyed, glanced at Roy coquettishly, took the ledger and put it in a box and locked it. That satisfied look looks like a housekeeper and hostess.

Roy shook his head with a smile.

The dark elves are a race of demons with both demonic evil and debauchery in their nature, as well as the freedom and arrogance of elven nature. And Malt likes to be a little woman the most, to be a money-obsessed housekeeper, which is really an alternative among elves.

I don't know if she has inexplicably arrived in the crisis-ridden Salvation Continent alone, and has been insecure, or if she has been following her for a long time and has been inadvertently trained like this by herself. However, to see her happy, I am also happy.

"By the way," Malt poured Roy a glass of water, "I heard that someone challenges you outside the academy every day, how about it, did you beat him?"

"Nope. Roy took a sip and leaned his head back on the couch to recuperate.

"Why don't you beat him?" said Malt with a look of surprise. It's not Roy's style. When this guy was in a desperate situation with himself before, he was very arrogant and domineering. Although other beasts have a strong sense of territory, they will not attack the strong people who pass by.

Roy, on the other hand, is different. Centered on himself and the cave he lives in, this guy goes around grabbing turf. Fighting from the top of the mountain to the mountainside, and then from the mountainside to the foot of the mountain, the whole mountain was not satisfied, and he robbed a nearby jungle, a small lake, and two valleys. Catch the monsters that live there, chickens and dogs.

It's not bad if he doesn't mess with others, let alone others messing with him.

As long as any eyeless monster dares to enter their own territory, this guy and Oliver will definitely be over it. If you can fight head-on, it will naturally be like a rainbow, and if you can't beat it, you will poison and set traps, and you will never stop until you make the other party die or live.

After living in a desperate situation for a year and a half, Roy has grabbed more territory than many Beast Kings and Beast Emperors. The nearby demonic beasts, even if they are chased by natural enemies and cornered, will never take a step beyond the thunder pool. For them, provoke Roy's fate. It's much scarier than meeting a predator.

Unexpectedly, this time the other party bullied him, and Roy didn't even beat him.

Although that guy heard that he was a fair knight, he was also a genius student of the Holy Sect Martial Arts, and it was rumored to be miraculous in the streets and alleys. It seems that ten Roys are no match for that man. But Malt knows that strength is judged by the level of vindictiveness. That's all.

Roy begins with Bollabel fleeing. It's not one or two just knights who have been killed. Even Ivan practiced with him, and he personally admitted that he might not be able to win.

It's a fact that Roy's fighting spirit is not as good as the other party, but he has to fight hard, where is the opponent of Roy, who has been through a hundred battles?

Roy wants to hurt him, and there are a hundred ways to do it in the blink of an eye!

As soon as her mind flickered, Malt had already understood, and she reached out angrily and pinched Roy's waist, and said sourly: "Dead man." You're for Elethea. Otherwise, I don't believe you'll be wronged by this. ”

Roy grinned and grabbed Malt's hand: "Half yes, half not." ”

"How?" asked Malt, blushing.

Since the awakening of the race's bloodline, she is now changing every day.

Her body curves are becoming more and more mature and perfect, and her gestures and smiles are also charming. And the most obvious thing is. She found that her body was becoming more sensitive.

This sensitivity, only for Roy. When I'm with other men, it's normal to be a qiē, but as soon as I smell Roy's smell and is grabbed by his hand, I feel itchy and weak.

Taking advantage of Roy's inattention, Malt stretched out her tongue. Licked his lips gently.

Just as dried fish is to a hungry cat, bones are to a puppy. Roy's breath is full of delicious flavors.

"It's not that simple," Roy said as he stared at the candle flame. The brows furrowed deeply, and a touch of black suddenly appeared on the edge of the blue eyes, which immediately overlapped behind the pupils and disappeared.

"The Langris family, standing at the top of the pyramid of famous families on the mainland for two hundred years, overpowering the three major royal families, this status is by no means obtained by relying on arrogance alone," Roy said, "Their arrogance and domineering are only on the outside, but on the inside, they are insidious, cunning and cautious. What he is best at is to create chaos and rob while the fire is hot. ”

"Just like this time, the guy they sent to challenge me named Kevin is ostensibly just a fair knight my age, but in fact, he has a pseudo-realm 'silence' against magicians. ”

"Silence?" said Malt, confused.

"Yes," Roy explained, "in his realm, magicians can't sing. He's already used it to defeat several magicians. ”

As he spoke, he frowned, "However, this is not the most cunning thing about the Lanrith family. The most cunning of them is to take the opportunity to stir up the wind and rain and stick their hands in Saint-Soran!"

Malt clasped Roy's hand tightly.

Although she was not from this continent, she had heard the rumors of the Golden Dragon Family countless times since she came here. She knew as well as everyone else what a monster it was.

"In this conflict, there are two protagonists, one is me and the other is Scarlett," Roy sneered, "No matter what the name of the Golden Dragon Family is, they can't get around Scarlett. And as a member of the royal family, neither Scarlett nor her father, Prince Anthony, can really show hostility to the royal family. ”

Malt nodded. She'd heard the talk on the streets. Almost all the people of St. Solan thought that the conflict between Roy and Scarlett was just a minor conflict between the students. If it weren't for Scarlett's special status, I'm afraid I wouldn't even bother to care about the teachings.

And this time, Anthony has let the Lanrees get involved, which has already caused a lot of criticism. There are not a few who scold.

As one of the members of the royal family, Anthony's family has reached the limit of this. If they wanted to do anything else, even if they were members of the royal family, they would attract the intervention of the top noble families in the empire.

"Lanris, all you want to do now is force me to do it," Roy said, "If I lose, the royal prestige will plummet, and the purpose of the Lanrisians will be achieved." They can make the Holy Maiden and the Solan nobles understand that choosing them is the right decision.

And if I win, I believe. They will turn this matter into a conflict between the Lanris family and the royal family. At that time, they will directly bypass Scarlett and become the protagonists of this conflict. ”

Speaking of which, Roy's green face was covered with a mature and playful smile.

"Think about it. If they lose face. Ignore the rules and kill me. If they accuse me of winning by dishonorable means, and then blame the royal family. What would be the outcome if their failed second-level butler and Kevin simply died inexplicably in Solan?"

Roy said one layer, and the malt was a little colder.

Although it is a dark elf, in the land dominated by the demons, it is normal to play with intrigues and tricks. However, after all, Malt is just a big lady who doesn't know the world, where will she think about one thing so deeply?

Roy would have thought. Edward would have thought about it, and so would Moya.

Now it has to be bitten to death, this is the skirmish between Roy and Scarlett, it is between these two people. Any other opportunity that might be given to the Lanrithians must be firmly secured!

While all eyes are focused on the conflict itself, few see the future.

Make a big deal out of it. From helping to jump to the forefront, to make this conflict more variable, this is the hidden purpose of the Lanrith people. These cunning old foxes will make the whole thing slowly sour, and will let one accident after another be connected into their noose to St. Solan!

It doesn't matter if Roy wins or loses, as long as he does it. When everyone saw the Lanrith people challenge by the rules, they thought they would follow the rules. In fact, the last thing they care about is the rules!

The Phillips are wolves, and the Lanrithians are tigers.

Face the prey. The wolf doesn't talk about the rules, so what rules does the tiger talk about? If it weren't for the convenient opportunity to directly enter the royal family and rule this land, it would have shown its fangs a long time ago!

"So, you can't take that guy's challenge?" said Malt melancholy.

"It's not that it can't, it's that it can't now. Roy said, "Now Fei Lie has just captured the western Longmen defense line, and the troops have penetrated deep into the hinterland, and the whole country has been shaken. The royal family is now at the center of the maelstrom. On the one hand, His Majesty has to defend Atlanta and prevent the Ferrets from attacking the Imperial Capital Plain, and on the other hand, he has to worry about the battle situation of Lulian and balance the situation of the court."

He shook his head and said, "This emperor is not good. Now, what he needs most is time. At least until the three new legions are formed, he must not be forced to abdicate. After this time, the situation may change. ”

"Change?" said Mai'er, "Everyone says that if the western Longmen is lost, the south will definitely not be able to withstand it, and this battle will be lost no matter how you look at it." ”

"That's not necessarily," Roy smiled slightly, "wasn't we also very dangerous in the last battle of Medin City, and didn't we win the result? We still have a chance. ”

"So you're dragging it out now, or for the sake of Elethea. Malt was jealous again, and glanced at Roy. Xin said: "This guy can endure such anger for the sake of Elethea." I don't know if it will be like this for me."

"As I said, that's only half the reason. Roy shook his head.

Malt asked, "What about the other half?"

"I can't avoid the challenge, sooner or later, I have to fight," the corners of Roy's mouth curled slightly: "I'm waiting for an opportunity." Either you don't fight, or if you want to fight, you have to beat and cripple hard. Otherwise, how can I be worthy of my lord's anger these days!"

Malt covered her mouth and laughed.

The black-haired boy in front of her with rolling eyes was the Roy she was familiar with

After chatting with Malt for a while, Roy went to the conference room.

The meeting room is on the third floor of the manor building, converted from a banquet hall, and in the empty room, in addition to the chairs, sofas and cabinets where the text is placed, there is a huge cowhide map on the front wall. It is full of various marks and arrows. The battlefield situation is clear at a glance.

"Grand Duke Adolf is still alive. ”

These were the first things Karenic said to Roy when he walked into the conference room.

Ever since he learned that Archduke Adolf had been defeated and trapped, Karenich immediately sent a scout team of five old falcons to the war zone to investigate.

Fano didn't know about this news, and neither did the nobles. But if they can't find it, it doesn't mean that Green Tower Manor can't find it.

The outcome of a war depends on many factors.

Army strength, logistics. morale, time of day and terrain, etc. One of the most critical factors is the level of the commander.

The same army, in the hands of mediocre generals and famous generals, has a very different fate. The former will miss opportunities and will make mistakes in judgment. and even brought the team into a desperate situation under the great good shape shì. And the latter. can survive in a desperate situation and turn defeat into victory.

There aren't many famous players in Saint-Solan. In terms of numbers, fame and achievements, they are far inferior to the Philip Empire and the Pompeii Empire.

Especially now Lulian. When Adolf was defeated and trapped, and the Knights of Momiji and the Twelfth Legion were pinned down by the enemy, only one of the rear was the exhausted and unskilled Fano to support the overall situation.

Fano is a qualified general, but he is still far from a famous general.

When the nobles were the nobles, the people could only pin their only hope on Fano. When he was expected to create a miracle, no one could have imagined that there were two famous generals at that time, who were hidden in this small manor outside the city.

One is Karenich, who has been the Dragon Gate for 20 years and is known as the Dragon Gate Iron Gate.

The other is killing people across the border. A ruthless and cunning massacre with a combat style, Percy the Blood Fox!

The combination of these two is not only a dream in the Solan Empire, but even in the famous Philip Empire and Pompeii Empire, it can also be called luxurious. Any one of them is absolutely qualified to replace anyone as the commander of the Lurian.

But now, they're just Roy's followers.

Under the command of Karenich and Percy. Instead of going down from the nearest north, the scout team made a detour to the east, and felt its way into the Evening Mountain County from the mountains where there was no road at all. And in the mountains to the southwest, he found Archduke Adolf.

Judging by the news brought back by the scouts. The situation in which the Grand Duke finds himself is not optimistic.

After the attack, the Chinese army was scattered. The soldiers, who had lost their leadership, fled across the mountains and fields, were overtaken by the organized Firete army, and fell to the ground in droves.

The main force of the Chinese army of nearly 20,000 people, plus thousands of logistical and heavy transport people, finally followed the bloody battle of Grand Duke Adolf to break through the siege, only 14,000 people. Although the main forces of the Bavarian Knights and the Coastal Mercenary Regiment were still there, after losing almost all the baggage and grass, the army could only be trapped in the mountains, and the morale was very low.

On the outskirts, the Philip army, numbering more than 40,000 men, had occupied towns and villages in the nearby area, blocking all roads. Especially the figures of the Golden Order and the old rival Snow Wolf Knights, they are even more ubiquitous. Its powerful combat effectiveness has not only repeatedly dashed the hope of the Grand Duke to break through the siege, but also threatens the safety of the main force all the time.

Now, the Phillips army is mobilizing troops to sweep the surrounding area. Prepare for the final offensive. Time is running out for Loulian.

Roy stood in front of the map, listening to Karenic and Percy analyze the shape in detail, his heart was heavy.

The defeat of Archduke Adolf was too sudden and too unbelievable. You must know that before this, although the offensive of the Ferray Empire was fierce, according to all aspects, the two sides were still roughly evenly balanced.

Unexpectedly, there was such a big gap between the Grand Duke's central army and the 12th Army Corps on the right flank. And it was such a coincidence that the Phillips seized this gap, rushed forward, and attacked the Chinese army camp from the flank.

After that, the speed of the follow-up of the main force of Fei Lie was also surprisingly fast, and overnight, the Evening Mountain County had fallen, and the Momiji Knights on the left flank and the Twelfth Legion on the right flank were also separated. The tide of the war is completely eroded.

"Does this matter have anything to do with the Twelve Legions?" Roy was silent for a long time, and asked a question that he had been most worried about.

The Twelfth Legion had just joined the Lulian War. With the example of the previous Fifth Army, the whole of Lulian had a distrustful attitude towards the border army. And this time things happened very strangely, and no one could help but wonder.

"I can't tell. Karenic and Percy looked at each other and shook their heads.

Roy put aside the hidden worries in his heart for a while, and asked, "Then judging from the current situation, do we still have a chance to rescue Archduke Adolf?"

"There's a chance," Percy said with a frown, "but there's a lot of force to be used. Young master, look"

"This is Wanshan County, and this is Qingshui County," Percy said, pointing to a few arrows on the map, "The Filie's army not only surrounded the main force of the Chinese army of the Grand Duke of Adolf, but also opened its pockets on the periphery. Pose as a siege to help"

Roy looked closely at the map. It was found that as Percy had said, several red arrows were clamping down on the main traffic arteries near Wanshan County, and no matter which direction they attacked, they would be like breaking into a pack of wolves.

Percy tapped the arrow on the map: "This is the fangs of the Phillips, if they bite it, they can kill the reinforcements." If we want to rescue the Grand Duke, we must concentrate our forces and condense them into a steel fist that they can't bite and swallow."

Percy said, shaking his head, "However, this is also the most unrealistic idea at the moment. ”

Roy nodded.

The armies of the Red Leaf Army and the Twelfth Army Corps on the front line were all pinned down by the enemy, and the forces in the rear were already stretched thin for defense, and it was impossible to form a force sufficient to compete head-on with the Ferrets.

And now, the main force of the empire led by Safin is far away in Atlanta, and on the northern border of Lurian, there is only one Tomahawk Knights who have gone south in front of time.

Unfortunately, this order is a descendant of Donald. Hoping that they would come to Lulian's rescue was a pipe dream.

Thinking of the Tomahawk Knights, Roy had an indescribable feeling in his heart.

The Grand Duke of Renault, the leader of the Knights, was none other than his mother, Sarah's biological father, his own grandfather. And among the great generals in the Knights, there are three who are their own uncles.

But emotionally speaking, the tragic death of his mother Sarah, Donald and the Holy See are the biggest suspects. But instead of seeking justice for their mother, the Renault family remained silent and continued to work for Donald for the sake of glory and wealth

This is Roy's deepest secret, and every time he thinks about it, he has mixed feelings.

"Is there any other way?" Roy asked, quickly bringing himself back to the question at hand.

Percy and Karenic looked at each other and said, "We have discussed, and if we want to rescue Archduke Adolf, it is not impossible. Although it is a big risk, the success rate is extremely high. However, if you want to implement it perfectly without mistakes, you can't count on Fano. ”

"Who is that counting on?" Roy asked, surprised.

Karenic raised an eyebrow, and Percy's gaze was a little strange, as if Roy had asked a very stupid question.

Who else has two famous generals and hundreds of elites in this Muni City?

"Let's do it!"
