"But ......," said General Yuri, touching his head, and with some hesitation, "one of them has a good deck of cards, and victory is in sight, and I think ninety-nine percent of them will bet on him." ”

"So as the old saying goes, nine out of ten gambles are lost, because there are too many mediocre people among gamblers. Maybe the other has a better deck of cards? Maybe his hole card is a three-card straight flush. ”

"Or even a royal flush?", Al replied with a smile.

"Yes, that's possible. General Yuri nodded, leaning forward slightly, staring at Al.

"But I'm not afraid of your jokes, I'm always a timid and a little greedy for money. People say that this gamble is ten gambles and nine losses, but I think that it is nine out of ten. ”

He tapped the table twice and said, "You said it was impossible. ”

Al didn't speak, just smiled and picked up the teacup, taking small sips, as if the coarse tea with fine foam was a famous product from the South.

General Yuri refused to let him go, and continued to speak to himself, "I think about it, the only way to do this is to cheat." One of them has already spread out his hand, and as long as I know the other side's hole cards, isn't that a sure deal?"

"That's a good idea, but it's ...... if you want to know the other side's hole cards," Al said in a long voice, and then used three words to dispel General Yuri's expectations.

"Impossible!"

"You!", General Yuri's face tightened, as if he was angry.

"You think, if this hole card is leaked, is it still called a hole card?", Al hurriedly comforted.

"You can't trust the old man?", General Yuri grimaced, and even changed his title.

Al shook his head, "Why do you want to force a bet?", he pointed to the guards behind General Yuri, "You don't bet anywhere, just sit here on the Diaoyu Tai." As long as they are there, no matter who wins, they will not ignore you. ”

"In my opinion, sometimes it's better not to bet than to bet. Wouldn't it be better not to be caught in a gambling game, but to make a fortune?"

General Yuri smiled lightly, "It's good, but it's ......," he paused, "I'll tell you the truth, I can slowly climb to this position from a civilian, and I can understand some truth." ”

"If I don't get involved in this gamble today, I want to join in the future, but I don't have my share. In the future, you will only be squeezed farther and farther away, and the chips in your hand will become less and less. ”

"Do you think that's the truth?"

"There is a reason to bet, there is a reason not to bet, it is all up to your own will, as long as you are in this big camp, no one can force you. In my opinion, this is the biggest truth. As he spoke, Al drank the cup of tea in his hand, turned the bottom of the cup towards General Yuri, and asked rhetorically.

"You say, isn't that the truth?"

"Oh......", General Yuri stroked his head back and forth, and after a long while, when Al thought he was going to grind his scalp off, he finally spoke: "Well, this gamble is too big, and the old man is too old, so he really can't move." ”

When Al heard this, he knew that the great thing had been accomplished, and said with a smile: "Then I thank you here, if the great thing is done in the future, I, Al on behalf of the Iron Thorn Family, will never forget your help." ”

"But Al has a reluctant request next, and I hope the general will fulfill it. ”

General Yuri frowned slightly, but then smiled heartily: "What kind of reluctant request, as long as I can do it, you can just ask." ”

"Your army will probably still be stationed here for the next few days. In two days' time, the reinforcements I asked for should pass by, and they will carry the Order of the Iron Thorns as a token. Please also let them go and help them replenish their supplies by the way. ”

"This little thing is not enough, you can rest assured. General Yuri slapped his chest loudly.

After leaving the Kingdom Army camp, Al proudly boasted to Medea beside him, "How is it?" I said that he would respectfully welcome us in, and then send us out respectfully. ”

"Really, right?"

Medea, who hadn't spoken just now and pretended to be a guard, snorted coldly, "Look at your beauty." But she was also a little curious, "How can you be sure that he will agree to your request and get out of the way and let us go east?"

"We met two years ago, and I was very impressed by this one-of-a-kind civilian general in the Kingdom. Al replied, "He is probably the least soldier-like soldier in the entire kingdom." He is more of a businessman than a soldier, and the kind of big businessman who has achieved fame and reached the pinnacle of his career. ”

"I saw him through two years ago. ”

"Don't look at him shouting fiercely, in fact, he is very conservative in his bones. He himself knew in his heart that with his status as a civilian, he had already reached the top of his rank as a legion commander. In the future, no matter how much merit he makes, at most he will only be rewarded, and the title will never be raised. ”

In this case, he did not want to get involved in the great war between the western and northern borders, but to try to preserve his army in this troubled world. This is the foundation of his life, and he cannot afford to suffer heavy losses. ”

"And if he insists on stopping here, it will inevitably cause our Western Army to attack. Victory or defeat, his troops were bound to suffer losses, which he could never afford. ”

"Actually, what he just said was nothing more than trying to get to the bottom of me. In a few days, when he sees my reinforcements, he will be at ease. ”

Medea nodded, and as they spoke, they were approaching their own barracks. Medea spoke again: "Are those dark mages too powerful? Although I don't know how to fight, I also know the truth of the speed of soldiers, and the slower the speed of the army, the more time will be given to the other party to prepare. ”

"You've been procrastinating, are you waiting for those reinforcements?"

Al sighed and nodded, "Their plan to make a mage may have succeeded, and there are hundreds of mages who can use fireball magic. He was speechless, "If you start a war rashly, you will only lose it, and if you can't prevent those big fireballs, it is estimated that you won't be able to stop even a single face." ”

He said strangely, "Why aren't you curious about my reinforcements at all? ”

Medea rolled her eyes, "Come on, you sent both Nightingale and Pandan Grass, and idiots can guess where your so-called reinforcements are coming from." ”
