Chapter 504: Foresight
The reason why Albert City was won so smoothly was actually like what the officers and generals said in the conversation just now, it was a bureau arranged by Kandal a few years ago!
At that time, Marshal Clarik had just made a bad deal with Simon, and the situation was in a hazy and uncertain state! However, Kandal was thoughtful and far-sighted, and he immediately saw that the situation in Simon was about to change, and war was about to start! Therefore, as soon as Kandal gained Claryk's trust, he sent a henchman to Albert City. And give him a third of the wealth in his hands!
This person had not worked with Kandal in Pressing Dragon Mountain before, and was the one Kandal had inadvertently saved many years ago, but after being loyal to Claryk, he had met anew in White Tiger City. And Kandal saw that this man was very eloquent and communicative, so he thought about it! That's why Kandal's old subordinates didn't know him. This is also a must-have factor for being an "undercover agent"!
Since you are loyal to Clarik, you must serve him wholeheartedly. Kandal saw the situation in Albert City, which was a very important city after the two sides became at odds. Without Albert City, it would have been impossible for the Clarik Legion to get out! So Kandal launched the plan! But he didn't even tell Clarik, it was all his own intention.
Although one of his subordinates had been saved by him, and the two had a life-saving friendship, the grace of saving lives was sometimes nothing at all......!
Kandal handed over one-third of his legion and all the wealth he had made when he was a bandit in the Dragon Mountain to him, and in addition to the trust of the people, he also had half of the gambling component!
Kandal's request was very simple, the only action to send him to Albert City was to gain the absolute trust of the commander of the city defense! No matter what means were used! Wooing, bribery, and conspiracy were all the means that could be used anyway, and the officers defending the city must trust him 100 percent! In this way, he could play an important role at a critical time! And to be able to make such a means, it would require the support of huge wealth! That's why Kandal gave him such a large fortune.
And this man did not fail to live up to Kandal's trust. In two years, not only did he become the first confidant of the commander of the city defense, and the commander obeyed him, but also 80 percent of the generals in the city defense army were bribed by him! I have to say how powerful the wealth is!
And most importantly, Albert City's intelligence system has been replaced by his own people!
In the past few years, Kandal has not contacted him once. It gave him absolute trust! That's one of the reasons why the man didn't betray him.
And when Kandal announced the capture of Albert City, this man played a crucial role!
The reason why the Kandal Legion was able to take Albert City without a single soldier was all done by this man with the power in his own hands!
As soon as Kandal's 20,000-strong army set out, he had already reported the matter to the commander of the city. However, he exaggerated the opponent's lineup!
He told the commander of the city that he had received information that Kandal's 20,000 troops were only the vanguard, and that Clark would personally lead 80,000 troops to the city!
After receiving this news, the garrison officer immediately sent a message to Marshal Giggs, who was far away in the imperial capital! But at this time, Albert City's intelligence system was completely under the control of the undercover agent......
The Simon Kingdom has not fought for many years, and it has already raised many commanders who are greedy for life and afraid of death! Just when the commander defending the city was flustered, news finally came from the imperial capital.
"The Clarik Legion is too big to be beaten. Retreat to the city of Morades in the north. ”
This is the fake news that Kandal's undercover agent passed on to the commander of the defense of the city!
After receiving this news, coupled with the undercover agent's inciting sentiment of "greed for life and fear of death", most of the generals of Albert City were ecstatic, and fled in three ways with the soldiers guarding the city overnight. As for the very few generals who disagreed, they had to choose to obey under the pressure of the commander of the city and the undercover agent who had become extremely powerful.
Despite a series of secrecy measures, the news of the retreat to the city of Morades did not reach the people at all.
In this way, on the day he received the fake news from the imperial capital, the officers defending the city decided to set off overnight! And the undercover plan to get out was also reasonable! That is, to lead twenty dead soldiers to create chaos in the city, increase the pressure on the Kandal army that came to attack, and then he took advantage of the chaos to catch up.
Although this approach seems reasonable, the character he usually shows is greedy for life and afraid of death, but it has reached this time, and the commander of the city can't help but believe it. That's why there was an undercover agent who didn't leave, stayed in Albert City, blended in with the people, and waited for Kandal to receive it!
All of this, except for Kandal's general idea, was all done by this undercover agent, and I have to say that this undercover agent's ability is indeed very strong! So when he met Kandal, Kandal did not treat him like his own subordinates!
It took more than two years to set up such a big game, and Kandal really had a very high vision! If the Claryk Legion wants to formally confront Simon, then Albert City is a city that must be taken seriously! There is no one! Only in this way can the situation be opened, and the Clarik Legion can have the capital to compete with Simon! Otherwise, not only will they not do anything in White Tiger City, but they will also achieve a battle in which the royal family of Simon Kingdom "closes the door and fights dogs."
The reason why the capture of Albert City was carried out so quickly was also suggested to Clarik by Kandal. If it weren't for the Holy See of Light on the side, then the Claric Legion would have faced the wrath of the Simon royal family head-on!
As for Kandal's military order in the Claryk Legion, it was also within Kandal's calculations. In this way, not only can you take Albert City, but also win the weight of Clarik and the admiration of other generals of the legion, which can be described as killing birds with one stone!
Now, Kandal has taken the first step towards his ideal and won the position of commander-in-chief of the Clarik Legion!
Kandal is indeed a man with foresight and a vision of the world!
That night, the city walls of Albert City were brightly lit.
"Report, the army of Marshal Clarik and the generals has reached ten miles away. A soldier galloped up the wall and came behind Kandal, who was black at his side.
Listening to the reports of his subordinates and feeling the slightly chilling wind in late autumn, Kandal retracted his mind and said in high spirits: "Everyone go outside the city to greet the marshal and the generals!"
"Yes!" dozens of officers and generals agreed with a bang, and followed Kandar's firm steps and walked down the city wall!
"Boom Boom Boom~"
The roar of the horse's hooves can be heard from far and near. Kandal was in the middle, with generals lined up on either side. All on foot, not on horseback.
After a while, it was none other than Clarik, who was in the lead, with white hair and strong spirits in black magic robes!
"Salute, everyone!"
"Greetings to Marshal Clarik!" Kandal's voice was extremely loud.
"Greetings Field Marshal Clarik!" the other generals and soldiers on the walls roared into the sky......
"Hahahaha~ With General Kandal, I really have the favor of God! From now on, General Kandal is the commander-in-chief of our army!" From a distance, Clarik first saw the banner standing in Albert City. On the white pennant, an angry black cheetah, this is the insignia of the Claric Legion. And seeing Kandal himself standing outside the city gate, Clarik was completely relieved at this time, and laughed, and suddenly fulfilled his previous promise!
Hearing this, Kandal smiled and stepped forward to lead Clarik's horse. At this time, the other generals who followed Clarik looked at each other with bitterness in their hearts......
