XXIII. Leone's strategy, Fan's strategy

"But......" the knight smiled reliably in front of the duke, "this battle is not without chance. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Don't sell it, Leon!" Van urged.

"Yes. Leon briskly said: "The flaw in the Duchy of Boer lies in their poor diplomatic relations. ”

"Oh!!" Scott realized, and Van was clearly just following the same pace.

"Since the outbreak of the war more than 10 years ago, the countries of the South have gradually had a tendency to become horns of each other and advance and retreat together. The knight said.

"But the Duchy of Boer is an outlier among them, and in recent years, the diplomatic strategy carried out by Boer has offended too many people, and the voice of 'first Almac, then Toulouse, and finally the whole South' has spread widely, and the surrounding countries are also full of antipathy and wariness of this ambitious country. ”

"This time, Pol can lead a large army to invade our country with impunity, so why won't the next time it become a disaster for other countries? ”

"Ed Gilheim, a man who has completely turned away from the secret alliance of the Southern nations, has made Bol the target of the South. ”

"What's more......" After a pause, Leon continued:

"Unlike your justifiable succession, Lord Duke, Ed Gilheim's ascension to the throne is not right, and His Majesty the King, who is far away in the royal capital, may be blinded by lies, but the lords of the south cannot be ignorant of the truth of that fire, and no one will sympathize with the usurper, as long as there is a cry on the heights at this moment, and the country is dissatisfied with the Duchy of Boer, but the country that suffers from the lack of reputation will inevitably echo us. ”

"As long as our side can seize the opportunity, skillfully use diplomatic means to maneuver, and carry out appropriate distribution of interests, so as to form an encirclement network headed by Almak, at that time, gather the forces of the surrounding countries and attack Bol in one fell swoop!"

"Excellent strategy. Sko couldn't help but admire: "In the case of not being able to increase our inherent strength, using external forces to create a winning opportunity, it is worthy of Lord Leon, and I am deeply admired." ”

"You've won the prize, Scott. Leon did not look complacent, but said solemnly: "The other party is not a fool, even if Ed Gilheim can't see this situation, but there are traitors like Thomas Bain in the other party's camp, although he has become an enemy, but the wisdom of that lord cannot be underestimated, I don't think he can't see such a crisis." ”

"If it were that lord, I think I would soon be able to find a remedy. ”

"Therefore, we have to be fast and plan ahead of our opponents to seal victory in this war. ”

"Wait, Leon. Van interrupted Leon's words.

I don't like your idea. He said with a disgruntled expression.

Not again. Scott's heart sank, and he vetoed the chance to win just out of personal likes and dislikes, and a sentence I don't like it completely negated Leon's hard-thinking strategy, how willful this is! Recently, he has seen more and more of Lord Duke's willfulness, and I really don't know why the upright and honest Lord Leon can tolerate this willfulness as if nothing happened.

"Lord Duke, this is our only chance to win, and we cannot defeat Bol by pure means of war. Leon admonished.

"Even if it were, I don't want it. "Van's willfulness is all open, and in Elle's absence, no one can stop this guy at all.

"I always felt that if I did that, even if I beat that bastard at Gilheim, I would have lost. This is my personal vendetta with that bastard, and I don't want to involve irrelevant forces. ”

"Elle said she wanted me to pick her up, so I wanted to go to Pol on my own and get her back in a dignified manner!"

"Besides, the distribution of benefits is the most annoying, and it's not a cake that can tolerate you eating one bite at a time, I want to eat it alone!!"

"This is not a one-on-one duel, but a war of gambling on the fortunes of the country! Our country alone is powerless against Pol, and if it cannot be defeated, everything is meaningless, and Miss Alicia cannot return to you!"

"Who said there was no way to win, I just suddenly thought of a brilliant way!!"

Leon and Scott were stunned at the same time, then fell silent and listened.

"Leon, let's go find the mercenaries!!"

"Mercenary?!" the two of them were stunned, in fact, until now, this word had never appeared in the thinking of the two professional soldiers.

Nobles gain glory and territory on the battlefield, and mercenaries earn death and gold on the battlefield.

This is the best portrayal of mercenaries.

The so-called mercenaries refer to the legions that ignore nationality and can be hired by any lord, the strength of this legion is uneven, compared to the regular army, it always seems free and scattered, occasionally some legions are quite high in battle, and even have the strength to destroy a country, but their birth is low, it is usually difficult to get ahead, if they dare to openly attack a country, they will inevitably become the enemy of all countries on the continent, so under normal circumstances, these people are harmless to countries that are not hostile camps.

"It costs a huge amount of money to recruit a mercenary force sufficient to fight against the Duchy of Boer, and that consumption far exceeds the maintenance cost of your own army, Lord Duke, you must understand that mercenaries are inhuman war maniacs, and no one knows when they will betray their employers. As soon as they fail to satisfy these greedy moths, they will immediately choose to betray their promises and attack their own employers in turn."

"Therefore......" Leon said, shaking his head, "Lord Duke, I do not approve of your decision. ”

"Speaking of which, as long as you have money, you're fine, right? Fan had a relaxed look.

"As far as I know, Almac's treasury does not have a large surplus. ”

"Yes, I have a lot of money! ”

Fan staggered out, and a moment later he returned to his study with a piggy bank.

"Look, this is my private money, no one in this world except Elle knows that I have this money, I have saved it for a long time, I originally planned to find a chance to run away from home and taste all the mainland food, but in order to be able to get Elle back, I let it go, even if it is spent, it doesn't matter!"

Leon hesitated, and Scott looked at the clay piggy bank, which was not very big, and his face was wonderful.

The latter yelled in his inner world that he was cheating on his father, how many gold coins could he put in such a small piggy bank? Do you think that recruiting mercenaries is to run a family's wine? Can a few hundred gold coins make people work for you?

He shook the piggy bank in his hand up and down, causing a rattling sound to come from it.

It wasn't like a gold coin, but more like the sound of stones colliding against each other.

Reluctantly glanced at the piggy bank that was about to turn ash, Fan was ruthless, closed his eyes, and smashed the pottery to the ground.

The dazzling light almost dazzled Scott's eyes.

A dazzling one.

"!!" Leon's lieutenant's eyes widened and he looked at everything in disbelief.

That's a lot of rubies.

A mesmerizing demonic stone that shimmers with crystal clear brilliance and is red.

Take out just one, and you can exchange it for a thousand times the weight of luxury goods in the market, and it is crazy to be rich.

"Is that enough?" said Fan, looking painedly at the shattered piggy bank, then plucking the pieces out of the rubies little by little.

"Gong ...... Lord Duke, these are ......"

Scott thought it might be something like a secret treasure that had been passed down from generation to generation by the Almac family, and when it reached the current generation, it was finally taken out and used by this loser.

However, if it was for the legitimate reason of war, then even the ancestors of the Almac family would agree to let their descendants use this wealth.

"It was a birthday present from a friend of mine, who was said to have gotten it from a group of pagans in white turbans, and to be honest I didn't know the value of the stone before, so I lost a lot of it by the river, and it was Elle who told me that I knew it was valuable, but in the end there was only so much left of it. Blowing himself up the black history, Fan scratched his face a little embarrassed, he picked up a ruby and handed it to Leon's hand.

"And that's just what's left?" Leon swallowed and took the gem, and put it in front of him to take a closer look, even the honest and honest knight was stunned by what he saw, these wonderful gems were enough to be described as priceless, and this was only the rest of the loss.

"That friend of yours is such a generous man......"

"Hahaha, that guy is a fool, I don't think she's worth it. ”

I always feel that you are the only one in this world who is not qualified to scold others for being stupid.

In the face of such a duke, the two of them had no other way but to be speechless.

But the decision to invite the mercenaries seems to have been passed in silence between the two.

According to the results of the bonito divination, there are still 14 chapters left before Alicia's return......

In addition, please read it to me, there is no snap, it is not NTR!!

By the way, I ask for a recommendation at 0:00 on Sunday......
