Chapter 366: The Kingdom's Dispatch (2)

Bingo! That's it. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Although some people are sorry for Richard who said it very solemnly, Li Mengxi's first thought in his heart was like this. However, since he had decided to pretend that he didn't know from the beginning, Li Mengxi had to behave really decently at this time.

"Really!" he didn't know whether it was fake or not, but he made a surprised expression and made a surprised sound.

"Genuine information. As he spoke, Richard reached out to support Li Mengxi's back and led him close to the permanent sand table in the war conference room. And what the sand table shows at this time is the terrain of the Ha Woo Ha Ka area.

"Haha. Li Mengxi approached the sand table and said, "Or the West?"

"No, it's the North. As he spoke, Richard stretched out his hand and pointed to the corresponding place, "I was notified by the liaison officer stationed in Dragon's Lair City in the early hours of the morning. The eight villages in the north closest to the Divine Realm Mountain were ransacked, and it was unclear what the situation was. Because the status of the enemy attack is unknown, there is no preparation for the investigation team for the time being. But according to a few survivors, it was probably the result of the killing of the elderly, children, and men, while the women were taken captive. ”

"It looks like a large-scale banditry. Li Mengxi answered.

"Is that what you think?" said Edman Schüzer, whose voice sounded dissatisfied.

Hearing this, Li Mengxi couldn't help but be stunned. Immediately, I remembered that Edelman was a man of temperament, and I understood.

Li Mengxi felt that perhaps Edman Shuzer wanted him to be distressed by this kind of burning, killing, and plundering.

In fact, Li Mengxi really felt that this was a very evil thing, so he would feel sympathy and pity for the victims, and he would also feel angry at the thugs who did such things.

However, it is really impossible to deal with strangers who have never even met in person.

"Hahaha. So, Li Mengxi had no choice but to smile apologetically at Edelman.

Opposition or ignorance was not a good deal for Edman, so he had to do it.

"It's a pity, it's not a robber incident," Richard spoke again, not knowing whether it was intentional or unintentional, he leaned forward a little to block the view between Edman and Li Mengxi.

And Erdman didn't seem to have any intention of continuing to attack, so Li Mengxi also shifted his attention back.

Sure enough, Richard has more detailed information here than we have here. Thinking like this, Li Mengxi spoke: "This is really quite a positive statement." ”

"After all, I took a lot of prisoners. ”

"Captured prisoner!"

"Hmm. The enemy, seemingly overwhelmed by the ease with which they plundered eight unarmed villages, opted for towns and large villages represented by the northern town of 'Lomarin' in the second wave of the offensive that followed. Among them, there are even fools who rushed directly to the Fourth Army and the Third Division. So, after a bumper harvest on their side, our side also had a bumper harvest in another sense. ”

"Is there a lot of captives?"

"Quantity is a lot, but more importantly, quality. Do you think a dozen big people are a good harvest?"

"Big shots?"

"Ah, they call themselves 'nobles'. ”

"Nobles, are you ...... with us?"

"No!" Richard shook his head, "Unfortunately, not a player like us. Their 'aristocracy' is completely different from the definition of 'aristocracy' on our side. The 'aristocracy' on our side is a racial name, and the real feudal class on the other side. ”

"Yes. Since they are nobles, then there is naturally a country that canonizes them as nobles. ”

"The Twilight Empire. This is their country. ”

"The country over the mountain. Saying this, Li Mengxi looked at the northernmost part of the terrain of Ha Ha Ha Ka District.

"It's you. Duke Edlaide smiled slyly, "Even though Lord Richard hadn't said anything, he had already guessed that it was on the other side of the mountain." ”

"For it is a matter of plain sight, Lord Marshal Edlaide. Li Mengxi replied without raising his head, so as to better cover up the fact that he already knew a certain amount of information in advance, "First, there are no countries other than our kingdom in the nine regions of the mainland. Second, the disappearance of the rainbow wall should be known by now. Speaking of which, Richard, I think you should immediately issue a notice to refrain from venturing on the other side of the mountain for the time being. ”

"I know, Miss Lomaria has already gone to the main control room to operate on this matter. ”

"That's good. So, how are you going to deal with this situation?" Li Mengxi said, glancing at everyone present.

"In short, it was decided to go to war. Richard said categorically.

"Isn't there a possibility of 'peace'?"

"What a joke!" said Edman indignantly, "the rack that finds the door must be hit!

"It's a bit rough, but it's good. Huang He continued.

"I'm in favor of peace. "But that's probably not possible for the time being. ”

"Hmm. Richard nodded, "According to the captives, it seems that the other party is in a serious state of resource shortage, so they want to plunder us to enrich themselves." ”

"I see, with a clear sense of attack. Well, I'm also in favor of going to war. Li Mengxi nodded in agreement, "However, what kind of purpose are we going to war?"

"Then do you need to say?" Edman became agitated again, "of course you will defeat the enemy!"

In this regard, Li Mengxi showed a wry smile.

"That's what happened, but I'm asking what happened after the defeat?"

"After the defeat? After all the defeats, what else. ”

"So, Edelman, I ask you, what if the other party did it again?"

"Then knock it down again!"

"And then, just keep the cycle going?"

"This ......," Edman was speechless, "and what do you say you should do?"

"There are several modes. First, push the enemy back, block the border, a long standoff, and then you come and go. ”

"Isn't that what you just asked this guy about? Huang He glanced at Edman and said, "Long-term combat readiness, zero-sum game, this is something that only fools do." ”

"I didn't mean that. Edelman immediately answered. The others nodded.

It seems that this topic has not yet been discussed.

Thinking like this, Li Mengxi spoke again: "Second, if the other party is completely destroyed and the Dusk Empire is wiped out, there will naturally be no more worries about being found fault." ”

"But isn't that just us going to each other's house to find trouble?" said Edelman. He was still the same, looking reckless and unscrupulous, but at some point inexplicably strategic.

"That said, but ......," Duke pondered, touching his chin, "if our kingdom's appetite is big enough, it would be a one-and-done solution." ”

"If you have a big appetite, don't you?" Richard smiled wryly, "Personally, I don't want to let the area under my administration expand any further. ”

"How about setting up a puppet regime?" Huang He suggested.

"What's the difference between it and just accepting it? Doesn't it take us a long time?" Richard shook his head, "Putting up a pro-us regime could still be considered." ”

"Even so. Bordeaux spoke, "I think that such a thing as invading the country of the past and destroying the other side in the past is a bit too big as the first goal of the strategy. Isn't it?"

"Hmm. Li Mengxi nodded, "Although I said it, I don't recommend it either." Considering the NPC's artificial intelligence, it is entirely possible that ethnic hatred or something can be established, and there are too many troubles after the invasion has passed. ”

"In that case, let's put it aside and come back to it. Edman looked at everyone, and then turned his gaze to Li Mengxi, "Is there a third?"

"Third, to give the other side some kind of heavy blow that they cannot bear and force them to sign a peace agreement with us. ”

"In other words, beat the enemy to the point that he doesn't dare to come again, right? That's good!" Erdman struck his hands together, looking like he wanted to do it right away.

"For strategic purposes, it's not as negative as the first, it's not as aggressive as the second, it's just right. Saying that, Duke glanced at Huang He, and then looked at Richard after the other party nodded.

"Hmm. I think it's good too. With that, Richard looked at Bordeaux.

"There's a problem. What if the other party doesn't comply?" said Bordeaux, looking at Li Mengxi.

"Therefore, this strategy should be based on giving the opponent a major blow, and the opponent can only kneel and beg for mercy, then there is no problem you are worried about. And if even then, they are not interested, then I will have to deal with my second proposal. ”

"So let's decide. "And now that the course of action has been decided, the next question is how to take the first step." ”

"When you discussed the question of whether or not to start a war, didn't you talk about how to fight together?" Li Mengxi was a little puzzled.

"Well...... After all, there's not enough intelligence. ”

"Lack of intelligence, didn't the captives say anything about this side?"

"Yes, but 'a lot' and 'very strong' are the same way to describe it as if it wasn't said. ”

"Is that what all the captives say?"

"It's pretty much the same. Therefore, it should not be a collusion. ”

"These people have no military literacy at all. ”

"If there were, I wouldn't have been caught so idiotically. However, the enemy's structure does not seem to be uniform. The people in front are stupid, and the people in the back aren't necessarily the same. ”

"That's right. Saying that, Li Mengxi thought for a while, and then came to a conclusion, "Anyway, let's fight first." ”
