Municipality of Ludakos

The daily relaxed atmosphere was dispelled by the clouds of war, since half a month ago, the alarm level in the city has been rising, from the third level of alert to the first level of combat readiness, especially after the news of the fall of Ilipu City, the defense level of the city government perimeter has been raised again, three layers inside and three layers outside, and high-level government officials travel with at least five guards.

The presence of the army exacerbated the situation, the professional army of 100,000 people, some of them were stationed in the specially vacated urban areas of the city, and more were stationed outside the city, but the tents used for living were stretched for several miles, and the situation was similar in Spandry on the other side, the temptation of the two sides has not stopped, today you take a few scouts of me, tomorrow I will kill a few of your spies, and a large-scale frontal war has never broken out.

"There is a message from the Rimai Sect, the majority of the government forces are currently delayed near Lud City, the enemy opposite us seems to be the Sambian government, in fact, there is only the coalition of Sergon and the Affleck family, relying on the unremitting efforts of the intelligence department, we have roughly found out that the number of the other party's army is about 50,000 people, and the location where it is stationed ......"

Both sides of the war have their own plans, with Spandry thinking about how to annex Ludakos, and the three families also thinking about how to defeat the Afflecks once and for all.

"Then what are we waiting for? In terms of troops, we are twice as large as the other side, and in terms of weapons and equipment, we have been preparing for many years, and the combat effectiveness of the army under our command is also first-class in the Sambia region, not to mention that the city of Spendri was originally in our hands, and the structure and layout of the city are all under control, so why not advance head-on?"

The balance of power between the two sides is indeed true on the surface, and it is no wonder that some people think that a frontal attack is enough, and the strength is so much stronger than that of the opposite side, if they think about using trickery to win, they will waste this advantage.

"It's so easy to tell you, what are we discussing here? It's been a long time coming, yes, we have more people than the other side, and we are equipped ...... Not to say that it is better than the other side, but it is still called excellent, but you ignore one point, in this era, the gap between people is not so simple. ”

One of the adjutant of the army sitting in front felt that it was still necessary for these stunned young men to be mentally prepared.

"Are you saying that our soldiers can't compare to the other side? What are you kidding, everyone is training, but we have consciously strengthened the training level here, how can it not be compared!"

As a hardcore follower of the Ottoman family and a direct commander of the army, he is one of the responsible persons in the training of the army.

"Hmph, put away your very sassy expression, the soldiers you trained, I admit that the combat effectiveness is not weak, compared to the original soldiers of Sergont, Spendri and Ilipu, but do you know who the real main force of this battle is?"

"Isn't it the private soldiers of the Affleck family, so what, those armies that can wrestle with giants are very strong, but they should all be in Gonza now, right? Even if you bring some of them, I don't think you need to pay special attention, after all, this is a legion war, and the combat power of a small force can't affect the overall situation. ”

"Then what if I told you that the head of the Affleck family is actually the leader of the Starfall Sea Overlord Qingshu?"

The war has actually started in Gonza, and the intelligence collection of the three major families for the Qingshu Alliance has not stopped, and the relationship between Qingshu and the Affleck family is actually not as deep as hidden as imagined, after all, the business is so big, and there are so many ships coming and going every day, as long as you are willing to spend effort, it is not difficult to find out.

"Are you sure? The Afflecks are the same Aoki who defeated the whale?"

The Affleck family, the recent rise, this is not terrible, even if the outside world spreads the gods, it is also a family that has not risen for a long time, the strength is strong, and it is not worth them to face the enemy, but Qingshu is different, who in the Sambia region does not know that this organization dominates the sea of stars?

The officer knew in his heart that no matter how strict the training method was, it would not be strong enough to fight a real life-and-death battlefield, and who were the outlaws recruited by Qingshu's troops? The outlaws on the sea were all guys who dared to go out to sea to fight for their lives with a knife.

Fighting is commonplace for them, throw them into the sea when they die, and continue to fight when they are alive, these people are absorbed by Qingshu, and they have a long time of training and preparation, and they are really pulled to the battlefield, and their combat effectiveness will not be worse than any elite troops of the Lorraine Empire.

"Why do you think they dare to use 50,000 to open up a battlefield with us 100,000? If it's really as vulnerable as you said, the Affleck family dares to pull up an alliance with us? The Affleck Pirates, the Affleck family, and the Aoki Foundation have always been the same force! ”

Looking around the conference room, feeling the atmosphere become heavy, those who were not concerned about this war finally began to think decently, the adjutant was very satisfied, this is what he wanted, if this group of people were allowed to go to the battlefield with contempt and arrogance, he dared to guarantee that few people would come back.

However, the blow is a blow, and it is not good if the heart is gone, the adjutant first glanced at the commander on the main seat, got the other party's eye signal, and then looked at the adjutant on the other side, who also understood.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the enemy is very strong, but we are not unprepared, as our allies, the team of priests sent by the Sunpulse Sect to support us is already on the way, I can reveal some information to you, this time the priesthood is also coming with the war machine of the Sunmai Sect, I think everyone knows what that means, right? Not only that, this time we have also reached an agreement with some special forces in the Sambia region, they will help us in the war. ”

Hearing that there were special reinforcements, the atmosphere in the conference room improved a lot, and this time and again, it was considered a good result, and the commander on the main seat nodded with satisfaction.

"Let us now say a few words to you, the future head of the Prudence family, His Excellency Van Lundin. ”

As the supreme commander of the front, whether he has something to say in the meeting or not, he has to say two sentences to show his sense of existence.

Bang Bang Bang ~

The applause sounded intensively, no one was dissatisfied with this young man who was seven or eight years younger than the people here who were here, no way, who let the family have a good father, in the future, this will be the next Marquis of Prudence, it is very likely that he is not an ordinary marquis, the family territory has to be expanded at least twice, at this time, do not bother, and when he officially inherits the family, they are estimated not to even see each other.

"This is the first time I have commanded an army of tens of thousands of people, I am inexperienced, there are many places to ask you for advice, if there is anything wrong, please do not hesitate to correct, let me tell you about our battle plan......

The Prudence family has two heirs, the first in line is in Ludakos, but what about the second in line?

Bang!boom~

An antique vase smashed into the wall, leaving a cloud of debris.

That's right, our second-in-line heir is smashing vases in the room to play, Van Lunding commands 100,000 troops in Ludakos, if he wins this victory, he will be the next head of the family of Prudence, no one can be unconvinced, and he, the second-in-line heir, in addition to some real estate subsidies, has to rely on his brother's alms.

How can you swallow this breath!

"Get out!"

Another bottle was thrown at the feet of the maid next to him, and the latter trembled and swept away the fragments with a broom, and cleaned up all the fragments with Geri's angry eyes and left, now everyone in the family knows that this second young master is difficult to serve, such a big family business can be seen but not eaten, how aggrieved?

Xu was tired from smashing, and when the maid left, Gary sat back on the sofa, picked up the amber wine bottle on the table, drank the rest of the wine inside, and fell back on the sofa to look at the ceiling.

"That's it...... That's it, that's it!"

After working hard for the Prudence family for all these years, how could he be willing to get such an ending in the end.

"The watchman is gone. ”

Even if it was an opponent with very little competition, Van Lunding sent someone to keep an eye on him, and with the anger just now, he finally took away the maid sent to him by the family.

"Hmph, does it make a difference whether you go or not? Anyway, I'm just a waste now, I want strength or not, I want fame or not, even those sluts dare to talk about me......"

"And then, since you only complain, what do you want us to do, be a waste here, not for a lifetime, oh, that's not right, Prudence, sooner or later we will be flattened, you, since you are a waste, maybe you can leave a cheap life. ”

It was still the same voice, without any mood swings, but the arrogance in the words was unconcealed.

"You're so confident you can win?"

Galen had always wondered why they thought they could win, and why?

"You're not qualified to ask this question, I'll ask you one last time, do you want to continue to be your waste, or cooperate with us, to fight for the position under your father's ass, it's done, the Proudness family is naturally the heroes of the empire, and you can get more than just this one family. ”

"I realized I had a choice...... What do you want me to do?"

Galen was still lying on the couch, the decadence in his eyes gradually replaced by another resolute will.

"How much more power do you still have in the Proudness family?"

"There's not much left, and when Van Lunding wins the war, I guess I won't even have a chance to speak. ”

Van Lunding's strength caused the people in the family who originally followed Galen's side to defect, and the slightest ambition would not follow a person who was doomed to failure in the eyes of everyone.

"And what if he loses?"

"Lose? That depends on how much you lose, if you die there, this family is my inheritance, if you don't die, my chances are still not big, the power under his hands is much stronger than mine. ”

There are a total of two heirs in line, the first is dead, and it is naturally him who is the second to take over, but since it is the first in line, the Prudence family's protection of Van Lendin naturally goes without saying, as far as Gary knows, there is a spirit-level powerhouse guarding Van Lendin around the clock, even if there is a crisis, he has a great chance of escaping.

"If he dies, how far can you go?"

He didn't explain how to kill Van Lundin, that wasn't what he was thinking about.

"You help me to become the head of the Prudentes family, and I can guarantee that you will be the only one who will look forward to everything, and with me one day, the Prudence family will be your most loyal supporters. ”

"Remember what you said, if you regret it, kill your whole family!"

In the fish tank in the corner of the room, the bottom sand and gravel suddenly churned, and then calmed down in the next second, as if nothing had happened.

"Pretending to be a ghost...... If you can sit in that position, what about your dogs. ”

Galen was used to the people he had contacted coming and going without a trace, and he cared more about whether they could deliver on their promise to keep Van Lendin in Ludakos forever.

The battle for the heir in the old family is always a big problem, and it would be a pity not to take advantage of it, and sometimes the conflicts that erupt from within can be far more dangerous than the pressure from the outside.

It's just that if you want to detonate this contradiction, the premise is that some big man in Ludakos hands over his life, and this requires the efforts of other parties.

The ports of Segangant, Dingyuan and Zhenyuan were moored in the harbor, and the entire harbor was put under martial law, and no one was allowed to enter without the permission of the Affleck family, and even the daily shipping of the port was stopped.

Docked horizontally at the edge of the port, and the sampan did not fall, it was the side of the warship that was opened, a few meters high, and the wooden plank more than ten meters long was put down, which was an emergency modification to transport this batch of goods, in the wide belly of the ship, the huge existence covered with black cloth was pushed to the open space of the port with a large wooden wheel mat underneath, and a large number of people immediately came over and connected the truck head on the other side with iron cables and hooks, and dragged it away directly.

"Didn't you ask me two days ago when I would be ready to go to war, Joseph, and I can tell you now that when all my weapons have been delivered, that is, when we go to war, I think it will surprise the people of Ludakos. ”

Kairot smoked his cigar and looked at the large wooden boxes that were pushed out of the warship, which were also tightly sealed.

"Of course, I never doubted your abilities, and I was already wondering how we were going to celebrate after the defeat of Ludakos. ”

As a high-ranking member of the coalition and a shareholder of Qingshu, Joseph is one of the few people who has seen the goods sent by Qingshu in the past half a month, and he has a fuller understanding of the strength of this overlord of the Star Falling Sea, and he is glad for the decision he made at the beginning.
