Chapter 860: That's All I Want

"Do you think they will fail?" Zhao Mai touched his lips and said, "There are two thousand people in the Deep Red Regiment, and the equipment is not bad, and each of them has experience in combat. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Info And Yurik's plundering party was no more than a thousand men, and it was divided into three parts and advanced in three echelons. Concentrate your forces to defeat one of them, and the morale will prevail again......"

Zhao Mai stopped, because Tyrion didn't refute, but waited for him to continue. "Okay. Seemingly correct theories can always pile up, and there is often only one truth. Tell us what you think. ”

"The Deep Red Regiment is composed of slave gladiators in the gladiatorial arena, and their fighting skills are quite reasonable, but there is a short-term problem that is difficult to overcome that seriously restricts combat effectiveness, and that is combat faith. Slaves now have no masters, no land or property of their own, and they have to eat, drink, and spend their own food, drink, and flowers, only from their enemies. Ulric's marauding team, apart from weapons, carried the most sacks, which were used for loot, and were now empty. Moreover, although the plundering party had only a thousand people, the slave soldiers were never counted in number. The Deep Red Regiment faced three batches of 1,000 men each, not a total of 1,000. ”

"Understood. Zhao Mai nodded: "According to what you say, the best ending is just to win, win a game, and then end in a fiasco?"

"That's what I estimated. Tyrion lowered his voice, "If the logistics are slow, or if they don't find a safe place to stay, then the total annihilation is possible." Both Rikas and Butcher are facing death threats in the Deep Red Legion, and Cotande, although in the rear, may also be punished for logistical inadequacy, or at least leave the core of power. ”

"And what do you suggest?"

"The fact that the Masked Alliance didn't come when they left the city has already shown their attitude to some extent: they don't want to have much to do with you. In that case, it's okay to find a way to save Rickas and Butcher, and it's not your responsibility to have the Deep Red Army. ”

Zhao Mai nodded, then shook his head again, and said slowly: "Politics is to unite one's own faction, win over the centrists who can be co-opted, fight and eliminate the opposing factions, and finally absorb their good points and continue to strengthen themselves." The Deep Red Army can be regarded as between my faction and the centrists, and it is a pity to give up like this. Although I don't look down on the strength of the warbands of more than 2,000 gladiators, I can't ignore the will of the world behind them. Ricas's story is far from over, and the stronger he is, the less Satili will be needed, which is what I care about the most. ”

"The will of the world and the unfinished story, I didn't take it into account. Tyrion sighed and said, "I'm not you, I can't see the change of the world's will, I can't appreciate his power, let alone quantify and deduce." And it's a weird feeling, especially since I know I'm a character in a certain book......"

"No, because of your legend there is that book, and the biography is written after people have done something. Even if it is recorded, it is one of countless evolutions, and it is impossible to determine whether it must be you or him. Zhao Mai said: "Since you have seen the shortcomings of the Deep Red Army, then strengthen him." I will ask the gardener dragon to count the current situation of the entire Great Alluvial Sandy Wasteland, including geography, climate, distribution of the soil, and the production and reserve of legionnaire mushrooms. ”

"That's great, with such information, you can better control the situation!"

"And that's not all. If the war can be delayed by two months, my soil will be able to connect with each other, and the monitoring worm will be able to transmit the situation ahead in real time, and you can receive it with your psychic ability, which will be convenient at that time. Zhao Mai said casually, but Tyrion couldn't hide his surprise. "Don't be like this, you must know that a magician of the level of the Witch King already has ultra-long-range vision control and communication command capabilities, and the kind of war that sits in the magic tower and directs thousands of miles away is the norm for them. ”

"If that's the case, then the Deep Red Regiment will have to pray. Tyrion reacted immediately, saying, "If the news of Karak's death hadn't yet arrived, then the Witch King of Hamana of Urric might have been careful to control the scale of the war, and perhaps not be able to exert all his might...... No, there is too much difference between the strength and weakness of individuals in this world, and the value of life is too low to be judged by common sense. Only when news of Karak's death had passed that the Witch King of Hamana would defy the Deep Red Army. The best record of his raiding team is only to defeat a group of slave soldiers, so he will not care so much, let alone consume his strength to command remotely. ”

"And he'll find out much later. Zhao Mai added: "However, a city without a Witch King guarding it may cause another Witch King to covet it." ”

"He didn't dare to attack for a moment until he figured out how Karak had died. When his spies see Ricas, he becomes more cautious because of his suspicions. Tyrion smiled slightly and said confidently, "Zhao Mai, do you have any ideas for adding a Euric City?"

"It's best to have it, and I can build one without it. Theoretically, I'll always need cities to house future immigrants, and I'll have to separate humans from orcs, especially in the early days. So I always need more cities, more oases. ”

"Then I'll present you with the city of Ulric. Tyrion said, "The only problem is the Witch King, and only you can fight against this." ”

"I can fight him at the right time, but I don't want to be attacked by other Witch Kings, then the situation is a bit complicated and dangerous, especially compared to the benefits of a city. I have more potential than all of them, so as long as the situation is stable and manageable, then the victory will be more and more secure. I don't need to take risks for the time being. ”

"Understood. Tyrion looked at the turquoise waters of the lake under the blood-red sun and found that his memories of Castle Rock were becoming more and more blurred. Once upon a time, he wanted to inherit the title of Duke of Lannister and Lord of Castle Rock, to be the character his bloodline allowed but his father refused.

But he also had to admit that Kaiyan City had too much of his father's flavor. Even if he became a lord, it would take years, even a lifetime, to remove his father's influence. Of course, there was another voice echoing in his ears: Don't think about it, your father is ready to cut off your head, and Kaiyan City won't even give you a cemetery!

Crossing the name Duke of Castle Rock off his wishlist, Tyrion felt relieved and his eyes suddenly brightened. He's got psychic abilities now, and the knights of Westeros haven't seen anything like that! he's got spies, armies, and territories to command, and he's got a big enough world to play with, isn't that what he's always wanted?

And the girls of Atas are indeed prettier - supposedly the result of genetic modification long ago? With so many new things to learn like "genes" that Tyrion really couldn't ask for more.
