"Me?"

"Weakness?"

Although Mespier's face did not show a trace of surprise, he divided the sentence into two sentences, revealing the uneasiness in the Elf King's heart.

If there is any weakness in himself that can be easily seen by a little girl, then the elf king will soon usher in failure.

"Hmm~ Although you didn't show disbelief, the tone that seemed to be asking 'how could I have a weakness' was really funny"

Liu Xiao took the opportunity to ridicule the Elf King.

But the girl knew very well that Mespier would not be angry with the little girl's words, and that the wooden man knew neither mood nor humor, much less anger and jealousy.

"No, you're mistaken"

The Elven King lowered his gaze and looked into the eyes of the thin girl.

"I am not invincible, my weaknesses were pointed out by my sword teacher when I was learning fighting skills, and my advisers saw my shortcomings when I was learning political methods"

"When I was studying magic at the White Wood Tower, Mr. Ambora thought that I couldn't learn the magic of the tenth layer, so he asked me to leave the White Wood Tower early."

"I have strengths and weaknesses, and that's normal"

"And all I'm worried about is whether my weakness will become the weakness of this expeditionary force, whether it will become the weakness of the Dawn Mountains"

Those bright eyes emitted a silver glimmer, a characteristic unique to the Maispear family.

Now these two lights seemed to prove to Mespil, and there was no falsehood in him and his words.

Liu Xiao finally put away her slightly sarcastic smile, she knew that she didn't need to test this elf again.

"Although it's good to be honest and upright like you...... But you still don't understand what I'm talking about."

The Elf King blinked, as if urging Liu Xiao not to sell Guanzi.

"What you are good at, what you are not good at, what talents you have, what you have no talents, it has nothing to do with your strengths and weaknesses"

"You don't have the same magical talent as Princess Elle, you don't have the same political strategy as her, and she has powerful guardian elves that you don't"

"But it's you who becomes the Elven King, not Ellie"

"So what I just said are your weaknesses? Apparently not."

The Elf King seemed to figure out what Liu Xiao wanted to say, but he was silent and listened to Liu Xiao like this.

"In a situation like the one we are now"

Liu Xiao gestured with his hand at the enemies on all sides of the map.

"The Satie chieftains still have power, and the barbarians are ready to move"

"Allies are showing hostility, and city-states that don't usually have good relations turn to us for help"

"You are an Elven King with rich combat experience, and you must judge that the Satie chieftains will only stand still, the barbarians will not dare to cross the harsh climatic conditions, and Ondeville's call for help is a trap"

"It's not hard for you to tell"

"But what's next for you?"

When Liu Xiao said this, he stared at Meispil's face with a pair of half-open eyes, as if he was looking through the heart of the Elf King.

"My plan is ......"

"Needless to say"

As soon as Maispil spoke, Liu Xiao interrupted the Elf King's words.

"You won't tell me the truth anyway, and I won't waste any more time"

The Elven King closed his mouth and swallowed the words in his stomach, but did not show any displeasure.

"You're sure to pretend to retreat in the direction of the Dawn Mountains, while sending someone to contact the Andervils, and then suddenly attack Tolmang"

"The only thing that is uncertain is which route to choose, whether to buy time by crossing the fortifications of Tolmang, or whether to climb over the peaks north of Endville and take your opponent by surprise."

Liu Xiao said as he observed the changes in the two bright lights in Mespil's eyes.

"Looks like no need to guess, you're ready to storm Tolmanger"

"And preparations have already begun, and the removal of all those who cannot participate in the long-distance assault from the front line is a signal to prepare for departure."

"So when are you going to leave the camp? in one hour, or will you march as soon as you finish talking to me?"

The Elf King's expression still did not change at all, but the little girl's words made the wise Elf King inexplicably nervous in his heart.

"I can guess what you're going to do next, so can Sruka, I bet"

At this point, Mespier's expression finally changed, and his two faint eyebrows pressed down from his forehead and pressed against his eye sockets, making his gaze move slightly.

"You're too familiar and confident in how to get a tactical victory, and that's your weakness."

Liu Xiao's words pierced Mespier's heart like a knife.

The elf in fiery red armor had never been so disgusted with this girl, but all the good qualities of being an elven king told him that this girl was telling the truth.

"And what's worse is that"

Liu Xiao continued, and Meispear subconsciously tightened his whole body, looking like he was facing a great enemy.

"You know how to attack the enemy to inflict mortal wounds"

"This is your talent, the secret weapon that makes you win again and again, and the biggest reason why your enemies fear you"

"It's like when the cavemen marched north, you chose to join forces with Seganger to attack the Ancient Forest"

"Because you know that the defenses of the Dawn Mountains will not be crushed by hundreds of thousands of troglodytes, and that it will only be fatal to attack the fertile land that nurtures this army after it has left its nest."

"And after you learned of Sluka's existence, you chose the lair of the expeditionary dragon"

"Because you know that hitting his footing before he's on his footing will do the most damage"

"Another example is when you and Evan are fighting inwardly"

"You know that only by delaying and eradicating the dragon's erosion of the royal family of the Dawn Mountains will the greatest blow to Sluka's power"

"Enough"

Maispear didn't need Liu Xiao to say any more.

Both to stabilize one's confidence and not to continue to waste time.

"You're so good at fighting, that's why you're easy to read"

"And what is your strategy?"

"Strategy?"

Liu Xiao asked rhetorically.

"We are under siege, and it is really imperative that we preserve our strength in this environment and strike the enemy's forces as much as possible"

"But before that, did you forget something?"

Maispear's brow furrowed even lower.

"I want to know more than you where that dragon is, what the hell he's doing"

"That's why I've searched for the diamond enchantment that trapped him."

"Knowing that he can move freely in our world......"

Liu Xiao shook his head and interrupted Mespier's words again.

"You guess the dragon is in Tolmanger"

"Of course, the dragon must use the power of the north, combine the cavemen and the elves of the northern city-states, and then unite the barbarians, from west to north, and attack simultaneously on the largest front"

"Only then can the Dawn Mountains deal the greatest blow......"

Speaking of this, Mespier himself stopped talking, and the Elf King found that what he was thinking about was exactly the same as what Liu Xiao had just analyzed.

Mespil shifted to the dragon's point of view and thought about how he could pose a lethal threat to the Dawn Mountains, and then switched back to think about how he could deal the biggest blow to his opponent's strategy.

“...... You mean, this is right in the hands of the dragon?"

Liu Xiao nodded.

"It seems to me that the dragon is not in Tolmango at all"

"From attacking the Caveman Royalty, to encroaching on the Dawn Mountain Royalty, to disrupting the northern elven city-states, and even kidnapping Princess Timia as a hostage to lure Princess Elle and my brother into Chief Saty's trap"

"It's all an illusion"

Liu Xiao said, casting his gaze back on the map, biting his fingers with his teeth, trying to make his thoughts fly.

“...... That dragon is dragging time, hiding something very important."

"He's working on an important plan, and he's going to be powerless when it comes to executing it, that's why he's going to so much trouble......"

Liu Xiao controlled the map with gestures, looked east, then north, and then zoomed out the map to see the entire Aurora World at a glance.

The girl tried very hard, but even so, she could not find any clues left by Sluka from this map, from the chaos of the situation.

"The only thing that is clear is that we have never gone head-to-head with the dragon, and he has never intended to do so"

"It's not that he's afraid of us, it's that his magic is limited, and he has to find some way to catch us all, or ......"

“...... Where is the encirclement...... Who is the bait...... And how did the army get ......?"

“...... No, even if he had the power of Heavenly Fire, he wouldn't be able to achieve such a huge spatial scale of encirclement......"

Maispear soothed his brows, calmed down all the plans in his heart, and then revisited the map with Liu Xiao.

It is about the same shape as Australia, and the area is like the Eurasian continent.

The only land in the Aurora World.

The last soil in a sunken world.

The canyons and seas in the west, the fields and mountains in the north, the plains in the east and the dense forests in the south, where are the dragons lurking?

"Who is the dragon's last hole card?"

Liu Xiao suddenly asked.

"Of course it'......"

The mighty elf king and the thin girl exchanged glances with each other, as if they had unified each other's wills.

"The North is not a chessboard, just a pawn"

"But you can't be a general without destroying the pawns that stand in your way"

"So start here"

"Get the upper hand in one go"
