Chapter 106: Plans of the Parties (2)
The banquet dispersed, and the Earl's Mansion gradually deserted.
"Hart, is Wes back?" Andy Adams took the decanting tea handed by the maid with an expressionless face and drank it, the fresh and cool tea ran down his throat, making Andy's slightly drunk mind much clearer, and a sense of comfort permeated his body. In the room, the rising smoke surrounded Andy with a refreshing effect, making his mind and spirit instantly return to the best state.
In front of Andy, Hart, who was like a pug, didn't have that flattery at all at the moment, with a trace of ruthlessness and shrewdness on his face, he said respectfully: "Go back!"
"Tell me what the cards that Wes have!" Andy motioned to Hart to speak.
Hart replied calmly: "That His Royal Highness Wess has more than 18,000 private troops under his command, all of them are the elite of the major families, including more than 4,000 cavalrymen, all equipped with light armor, short swords, knightly crossbows, and have received Magnolia's elite knightly education, and their combat power is extraordinary! β
Andy closed his eyes and thought about it for a while, and went through the situation in the west in detail, especially some arrangements of Wang Xiaotian in the south. I took a closer look at the information that Hart had just handed over.
His Highness Wess didn't seem to be talking in vain.
The elite equipment under his command is indeed extraordinary, after all, it is a soldier from some big families with deep pockets. There is nothing to say about equipment, and even some troops are equipped with enchanted weapons, which makes Count Andy a little greedy.
It's just that there are times when equipment doesn't represent combat power.
And the most important thing is that Andy knows very well what kind of power that Dick in the south has.
Thinking so, he stood up and led Hart to a large map.
"Hart, look!"
Count Andy pointed to the map and said in a low voice.
"Pohphy City, according to our people here, there are at least two legions here," Andy pointed to Pophy City, his finger moving westward, "There are also soldiers of two legions here in Myhna. β
"These are the forces on the bright side of the south, the intention is obvious, they are against us!"
Andy sneered, "That prince is very calculating, in the eyes of that fat man in the south, we are the great enemy, so many elite legions are facing us, once the two sides cooperate, we will fight their main force! That prince of Wes is afraid that he has already known about these arrangements, he wants to pick up the cheap, right?"
And Andy still has something to say.
In Boer City, and the great wilderness behind Boer City, their people also seem to have found a large military force, at least the one in Boer City still has a few legions of mobile force.
And Andy suspects that if he really sends troops to provoke the Civil War when the Wess prince sends troops, Erdos will never end well.
As long as the prince retracts in the name of the royal family, Dick Fat will not dare to embarrass him, and when the time comes, he will have to fight with the people of Boer City! Once both sides are defeated, only this highness will benefit.
Besides, Andy didn't think that His Royal Highness the prince could make any big waves in the hands of Boer City.
Unless he, Andy Adams, and the forces of Boer City in the south start a full-scale war, with the strength of Boer City, it is impossible for that prince to make a big mess, but the problem is that at present, the rebels in the northern provinces are ready to move, and Vitan is also moving in the Northern Wilderness, and Count Andy himself is all involved in the whole body.
"Hart, you treat that prince well," Andy thought for a moment, "coax that Highness Wes, make him happy, and let him see our sincerity!"
Andy isn't one of those hot-brained young people. Able to go deep alone and cut off the back road in the Vitan War, Count Andy is not a timid person.
Let's make a fuss about the prince first!
If Bol City's response is wrong and Andy sees a flaw, he doesn't mind sending troops. As for the riots elsewhere, Count Andy still has a clear priority, and once the biggest antagonist in the south is defeated, he has time to clean up the rest.
......
Soon after, the royal nobles, led by Weiss, fully enjoyed the enthusiasm of Erdos.
At the same time, they also seem to have the intention of staying in Erdos, giving the outside world the impression that these young masters and soldiers are actually indulging in the gentle country of Erdos.
In fact, during Weis's stay in Erdos, Wang Xiaotian, who was far away in Bunian, also received news from Boer City.
"Someone with an unknown force is in contact with some southern nobles?"
Wang Xiaotian, who had been busy all day, was sitting in a newly built house looking at a piece of information and frowned.
"Yes, my lordship, as far as I know, after that Highness Wess arrived in Erdos, there were two forces that were in contact with those noble lords. Buzi smiled slightly, his tone was soft, looking at the tired Wang Xiaotian, Buzi only had respect, but when he said "noble lord", his eyes were full of coldness.
These fat-gutten aristocrats knew about exploiting their territories all day long, and from time to time they caused some trouble for the Alliance's engineering plans, and if it weren't for the riots, Buz would have wanted to clean up these moths a long time ago.
"Tell me, which two forces are they!"
Putting down the information, Wang Xiaotian, who had rarely completed today's progress, comfortably took a sip of the newly made magic tea from the [Botanical Garden].
"The Earl's power in the north, and a force that seems to be His Royal Highness the Prince!"
Buzz's report was detailed, including details such as who they were in contact with and what they were in, as well as when. I have to say that Wes is too naΓ―ve, under Buzz's men, the whole south has almost no secrets, and those pervasive scouts can easily detect any news they want with these strange rune weapons.
Wang Xiaotian rubbed his forehead, lay on the chair, looked at the construction site outside through the window, a huge port has begun to take shape, and the enthusiastic appearance of the workers who come and go can be clearly seen outside the window.
"What the hell are those idiots trying to do?!"
Wang Xiaotian, who was already tired because of the Bunian project these days, thought that these nobles who enjoyed the rear were still secretly doing things, he was a little irritable, and his tone couldn't help but reveal a murderous aura.
Buzz sighed and continued to report: "Since the start of the Bunian project, the group of nobles first deducted part of the money of Boer City in the collection of workers, and the number of workers was less than one-tenth of what was expected, but it had little impact on the progress of the project. β
Wang Xiaotian listened expressionlessly.
"Since contacting that group of people, many nobles have begun to seize the transported materials, and many of the requisitioned materials have been slowed down under various pretexts, and they need to be dealt with in time, otherwise the progress will be delayed. β
Hearing this, Wang Xiaotian silently picked up a cup of tea and took a sip.
"Also, recently we have found out that some territories have begun to secretly gather some militias and secretly set up tax cards, and some merchants have already reported some of the situation to us......"
"Enough!"
Wang Xiaotian stopped Buzi's report in a cold tone, he didn't want to listen to it anymore, this group of fools was already completely challenging his bottom line.
