I have to say that it was really unexpected that St. Ruz Goddaburg was able to find a chef to make breakfast after a night of tossing and turning by those guys. I originally thought that these guys were all old disciples www.biquge.info of the Dark Order, and if I wanted to restrain them from sabotage, I guess they would be the first to kill me. But unexpectedly, these guys didn't make St. Ruz Goddaburg anything, except for robbing the Earl's palace of Perlagher with his family and maids, and did not do anything particularly unbearable.

They even released all the prisoners who were locked in the dungeon, some of them left, and some of them had nowhere else to go, and asked to join the cathars on the spot.

Of course, these novice armies of criminals were defined from the very beginning as cannon fodder at the forefront of sieges.

I ate the chubby chef's shivering cream sandwich while looking closely at the map around Paravon.

There are three major gateways to Palauven: Fort Rende, Fort St. Luz Godda, and Fort Harengosburg. Normally, these three portals have firmly protected Paravon from attacks from Rhodok, Kugit or Vicchia, but now, two of the three portals have been defeated by me and Allah, leaving one Haarlan Gosburg.

I don't see Harrungosburg as a threat in my heart, as early as the Siege of Eldeig, Harrungoth showed a tendency towards our Dark Order.

As for the more distant Fort of Rebolet, and even the forces of Suno and Dehrim, they are not in my consideration, and they are too far away from Parabun, almost farther than the distance from Uxhall to Parabun.

In other words, for now, Paravon has fallen into a situation of isolation.

But I could not rest on my laurels, and judging from the confession of one of the senior adjutants whom Wuke had captured last night, although Guanxi Chen had led the Knights of Glory out of Parabun, there were still at least thirty or forty thousand men stationed in Paravon at this moment: 12,000 elite palace guards, 5,000 Knights of the Blood Rose, 10,000 Paraven garrisons and civilians, and the 8,000 field legions that Count Claes had arrived in Paraven last week.

The 10,000 Paraven garrison composed of slaves and poor peasants was naturally negligible, and their combat effectiveness was limited to maintaining the gap between the battle lines during the battle, and as for whether they would collapse and flee after twenty minutes of fighting, I am afraid that they themselves did not know the bottom of their hearts.

The 10,000 elite palace guards were a big problem, and the reason why the Swadia Empire dared to put Paravon within eighty miles of the Rhodok border was because of the guards of this elite palace guard. This guard originally had 30,000 men, and then Haraus went around hunting, and there were 18,000 of the most elite main forces, mainly cavalry, following Harlaus, and the rest although they had strong combat effectiveness, they were only good at holding the city, and did not dare to fight in the field easily.

The second is the Knights of the Blood Rose, the four major knights of the Svadia Empire alongside the Knights of Glory, the Knights of Allegiance and the Knights of the Holy Sword, originally established thirty years ago, late in the dark invasion, when King Haraus was still a cavalry marshal under the command of the Holy King Leon, and he was ordered to build a cavalry force that could compete with the Knights of the Dark Order's most elite Knights of the Judgment of the Holy Fire. Although he tried and failed in the end, he found another way and established four elite knights, which were the prototypes of the later Knights of Blood Rose, Glory, Loyalty, and Holy Sword, which were actually comparable to the Freedom Knights and the Heroic Fighters, which were later rumored to be the Holy Army of Light, and to a certain extent, curbed the limelight of the Knights of the Dark Order's Sacred Flame Judgment.

After thirty years, although the current Four Great Knights have lost the prestige of the Four Great Knights, they are still not to be underestimated. The Loyal Knights, whom I have been taught in the underground of Uxhall, are almost unstoppable if such a powerful warrior were to form a battle formation, the Knights of Glory took the Sakya as my target, and now in Paravon are the Knights of the Blood Rose.

It is said that the Blood Rose Knights, all of whom are composed of beautiful virgins in their teens and twenties, have undergone hellish and harsh training, and 5,000 people have been selected from tens of thousands of people. They cannot fall in love, they cannot marry, they must remain religiously loyal to the king, and they must unconditionally give their strength, body, and even life for the needs of the country!

So, when the captured adjutant talked to me about this, I thought that I might have really made a mistake in choosing Parabun as a target this time.

As for the 8,000 field legion brought by Count Claes, it was a variable that no one had expected before, and it was an accident that was not included in Du Fulong's plan. Because these 8,000 field legions, all of them are cavalry!

It was because of this accident that our plan encountered the greatest difficulty.

The adjutant had arrived with Count Claes the previous week, and had been sent to assist Pelagher. He confessed that the 8,000 people brought by Claes included 1,000 Swadian royal knights, which were elite knights beyond the ordinary Svadian heavy cavalry, and each of them was a noble son at worst, they had the most sophisticated armor and war horses, unified between the ages of twenty and thirty, with the most youthful vitality and the harshest swordsmanship and spear training, they were the most elite armed in Swadia, except for the four major knights, and even the three major knights except for the Blood Rose supplementary recruits, they would only be selected from them。 They were the topmost of the pyramid of regular force of the Svadian Empire's army.

In addition to the former Svadian royal knights, Claes brought with him two thousand standard Swadian heavy cavalry, two thousand Swadian hussars, and three thousand squire knights for the heavy cavalry to serve as logistics. Such an armed force can easily crush the same number of main forces of any country on the battlefield like knocking walnuts!

The more I listened to the adjutant's confession, the more chills struck me, and now the Svadians in Parabun did not know that the two castles in front of them had fallen, but once they learned of it, they could easily crush us, even if I had a large group of elite cathars of the Dark Order.

I was in a state of worry, but Vicente walked in, and waved his hand slightly, and the fat cook, who had been standing by him, fled as if he had been pardoned.

I looked up and saw the confident and gentlemanly look on Vicente's face.

"What are you thinking, General?" said Vicente, smiling.

I sighed and looked at the map: "There are thirty or forty thousand people in Paravon!"

Wisente nodded, still smiling like a gentleman, "But we don't need to take down Paraven, do we?"

I frowned, "Go on." ”

Vicente smiled, pulled out the chair next to me, sat down, pointed to the map in front of me, and said, "By defeating the Paraven, you will defeat the Svadians, so as to bring back the Knights of Glory, seek a decisive battle, and take advantage of the chaos to save the Sakya priests." I don't know whose idea it was, but there is some truth to it...... However, this is based on the premise that Paravon is defenseless and weak. However, according to the information we have so far, although Paravon is defenseless, it has a strong army and its strength is not trivial, and it is almost impossible to defeat Paravon with our current military strength. ”

I nodded, "Go on." ”

Vicente tapped his finger on the map and said, "Judging by the time, the Knights of Glory should have reached this position, and between Tespordinum and Elindaha, it should only be a day or so away from Uxhall." Even if we have defeated Paravon now, the news has reached that the Knights of Glory should have arrived in Uxhall, and when the time comes, it will not be difficult for them to leave the Sakya down and come back to trouble us. ”

Something suddenly occurred to me and I looked at Vicente.

Vicente smiled, "Yes, is it easier to rescue a person from an army, or from a secret room?"

I shook my head again: "One more question, do you know what Sakya represents? Since Urur kidnapped Sakya and asked for a sky-high price of 50,000 pounds of gold, the name Sakya has spread all over the continent of Calradia, and now there are only two kinds of people in the whole of Calradia, one is the one who intends to rescue the Sakya, and the other is the one who intends to rob the Sakya for money. What kind of person do you think Guanxi Chen is?"

Vicente thought for a moment, "You mean to say he's the latter?"

I nodded: "That's right, although I don't know what kind of person he is, but it can be seen from his actions that he broke up the Eighteen Horsemen of the Wind and snatched back the Sakya, but he didn't let him go, which is very problematic." ”

Vicente nodded in realization.

I continued, "So, Guanxi Chen, as an elite legion commander and now the number one master in Swadia, what does he want so much money for?"

Vicente's eyes widened and he said, "Could it be that you mean ......, General?"

I smiled and said, "That's right, the Svadia Empire, although it has dominated the Calradia continent for so many years, is not monolithic inside, those lords, not everyone is loyal to Harlaus. In the distance, Harongoth, and closely, the horse...... Hehe...... Therefore, Guanxi Chen's actions are very interesting, I dare say, even if Paravon is defeated by us, Guanxi Chen will not turn around and come back to us!"

Vicente frowned: "What is the general going to do?"

I smiled, "I also figured it out just now, Guanxi Chen must be dissatisfied with Harlaus for some reason, but this dissatisfaction is hidden under his loyal appearance, and he will not show it if the time is not right." So even if we take down Paraven, he will only feel the pleasure, not the danger, and once he enters Uxhall, he will definitely hide the Sakya and not let anyone find out, and then he will trade with the Glasco family behind his back, and after getting the money, from the point of view of Guanxi Chen, he will definitely kill the Sakya and the Glasco family to prevent the deal behind it from being discovered. Then, if he were to bring Sakya back, there was only one possibility under the present circumstances, and that was for him to find an opportunity from which he could reap a greater benefit than the risk of Sakya escaping or being rescued!"

Vicente's face was a little ugly, he frowned, and said, "You, you mean ......"

I sneered, "For Guanxi Chen, there is nothing more valuable than mastering a powerful weapon again. ”

Vicente said, "You mean, give Guanxi Chen a chance to control us, but how is that possible?"

I laughed: "I ask you, if you were to tame a fierce horse that could not be tamed, when would it be safest?"

Vicente's face was white at the moment, his gentlemanly smile was now gone, and he trembled and said, "Unless, this fierce horse is so tired that he has no strength...... Or seriously injured?"

I nodded: "That's right, we are the fierce horse, for Guanxi Chen, the best time to subdue us is when we are exhausted or suffer heavy casualties, at that time, the difficulty of subduing us is much easier, even if we can't be used for our own use, then it is not bad to wipe it out, for him Guanxi Chen, it is also a great achievement...... Do you say?"

Vicente couldn't stand anymore.

I stood up silently and leaned against the window of the Lord's Mansion to look out: "Then, let's give him this opportunity, let him rush over with Sakya, let him think that he can easily subdue us or wipe us out, and then we will give him a fatal blow!"

I said, squinting at Vicente: "It's just that when the time comes, I need you to assure us that we have the strength to strike a fatal blow on the verge of death!"

Vicente walked out with his calves and stomach trembling, and I didn't care what he was thinking, whether he listened to what I was saying, whether or not it would spread my conversation with him. Because as the head of the Dark Inquisition's Assassination Division, when they first arrived, I knew how many Dark Inquisitors were buried around him, and all I needed was a look, whether it was Vicente, Wuke, or even Ling Ling, within fifteen minutes, their heads would be in front of me.

Now I am no longer the Emmons who was in the valley of Elledeig, and even wanted to hide his name, although all of my current information was given to me by someone, or some people, but at least now it is my own power.

I looked out the window of the Lord's Palace, and there was a rolling hilly woodland, and the traces of last night's fierce battle had not yet been erased. I suddenly had a feeling of being in a different world, thinking that at the beginning, I was still a nobody without any ability to protect myself, and even any squad leader Mangna thought about how to kill me easily, but now, I actually casually formulated a death bait that could cost thousands, or even tens of thousands of lives.

Am I changed, as the dragon said, into a demon?

No...... If it weren't for the fact that he killed Yexiu, I might have returned to my peaceful life and spent every day happily.

If it weren't for the dragon killing the night show, I wouldn't treat other people's names like mustard like now!

A cloud of black smoke suddenly drifted in through another window and landed firmly behind me.

I continued to look into the distance and asked, "What's the news?"

In that cloud of smoke was a respectful black cloak, who knelt down on one knee behind my back and said: "There are two pieces of news from the Ministry of Intelligence, one is that there are traces of dragons near Paravon, which may be unfavorable to you, please be careful, and second, two unidentified armed forces have been found in the direction of Suno and Dehrim, approaching you day and night, the nearest one will arrive in only four days, and the purpose is unknown. ”

I nodded: "I see, is there any news from the direction of Paraven?"

The black cloak said respectfully: "Yesterday, Allah Stuttgart used Dufron's White Horse Guard as bait to ambush two Swadia patrols, and now Claes is leading eight thousand field legions out of the city to pursue, and Allah is using the White Horse Guard to take Claes's main force around the pasture. But it was clear that he had no way to deal with Claes's field legion, and for now he had stopped his actions and seemed to be planning his next move. ”

I sneered, "Allah didn't expect Claes's variables, and even the Blood Rose Knights didn't have enough mental preparation to deal with them. Now there is a very serious problem in front of him, Du Fulong's two thousand White Horse Guards are dying every moment, but until the White Horse Guards are dead, Allah will not have any way to deal with the Blood Rose Knights, let alone the eight thousand people of Claes. ”

The black cloak saluted respectfully and disappeared from the window again.

I turned my head to look at the map on the table, the direction of Suno and the direction of Dehrim, could it be those two people?

I pushed open the door of the Lord's Mansion and looked at Wuke and Ling Ling, who were sitting quietly outside: "Let's go, let's ......"

“...... Go to Parabun!"
