Chapter 148: Yes Yes Yes
"Business?"
Hearing Yuren's words, Celtic was so hung up, for the first time he looked at the young lord in front of him with a not very kind look, wondering if he was playing tricks on himself with pure intentions, although in terms of strength, Celt also admitted that this young man was indeed powerful, but now this is his own territory, he doesn't know how to be polite?
No, or rather, this young man is really polite on the surface, so that people can't find the slightest fault. But if you think about it carefully, you will find that he doesn't take himself seriously at all, and even if it is such an important matter, he doesn't seem to pay attention to it at all. You know, this is the most important thing, why does he still have such an attitude? So, what is the right thing for him?
"Okay. ”
But after thirty years, Celtic is no longer the same person he was after all, and the trials of so many years of wind and rain and the tempering of the years have also made him more calm. So after hearing Yuren's words, he didn't answer immediately. Instead, there was silence for a moment, then nodded, and sat down again.
"So, what to talk about. ”
"About the recent attacks on your fortress. ”
“..................”
"Isn't that the most important problem we need to solve right now?"
"Uh...... You're right. ”
Celtic has the heart to smash the table.
"So, General, I want to know what is the current situation of the fortress, and why we don't make great efforts to encircle and suppress it in the face of the attacks of those wild beasts? Although the strength of the One-Eyed Tribe is not weak, it can't be compared to the first [***] team after all, and General, you actually chose to avoid the battle, I think there must be another reason. ”
"Not bad. ”
Celtic also turned his mind at the moment, and Her Royal Highness the princess was not busy with things for a while, and it was not too late to talk about it when she had time later. But the most important thing at the moment was the damn monsters, so he didn't hide much and quickly told Yulian what happened.
It turned out that since half a month ago, the Red Fortress has been attacked from time to time, and many patrols have been attacked, and all of the people who attacked them were giants of the One-Eyed Tribe. Because it was attacked suddenly, and the difference in strength between the two sides was too great, the fortress side suffered a lot of losses in the initial contact. The Celts, of course, did not allow this to happen, so they immediately sent an army to attack the One-Eyed tribe in the valley. Like Yuren, Celt knew what these guys were, they were just humanoid beasts of low command, and there was nothing particularly noteworthy about them. So just hit them hard and teach these damn guys a lesson they'll never forget, and then these muscle-thinking animals will wail and flee from here, and it's not a big deal.
But then, the development of the situation made Celt frown.
It is true that the Cyclops are no match for the army, but after a few losses in the connection, they have changed their ways. Holy grace, these damned, stupid creatures have learned to sneak attack!? It's a surprising thing, and not only that, but their stupid, undisciplined, purposeless sabotage seems to have changed. They're starting to become more purposeful, and by grace, these guys have learned to do sneak attacks and guerrilla attacks?
This is also a headache for Celtic, although he has done his best, but those cyclops will run as soon as they see them, even if some will be tricked into the ambush circle, it will always be a minority, and the red fortress was not built to stop these beasts after all, they have more important things to do, so it is not appropriate to put all their energy here. So Celtic also did an investigation to try to catch these one-eyed monsters.
Unfortunately, after getting the results of the investigation they wanted, Celtic secretly complained, because all the information showed that the Cyclops' current lair was within the border on the side of Orut, which meant that if they wanted to cut down these damn bastards, they would have to cross the border!
Now comes the trouble, you know, Oluth and West are bounded by the river valley, which is an obvious and no misunderstanding division. If it was Orrut in the past, then Celt could have asked the other party to send someone to help. But now that the actual occupants there have become the Sith Empire, the matter immediately becomes even more tricky. And Celtic's prediction at this moment has also come true, it turns out that these beasts are not as crazy as in previous years, they have become a pawn of the Sith Empire?
In the face of such a situation, the old general has no better way, and now is the most critical period, and he has no way to leave the fortress. And he couldn't find an army strong enough to go and destroy the damn Cyclops. And they can't be caught by the Sith Empire, once they detect something, then the Sith Empire can seize the reason to invade West! Of course, such border disputes exist between many countries on the mainland, and generally speaking, it will not be a big deal. But the problem is that the attitude of the Sith Empire is obviously not the same. They had prepared almost all wars of aggression for a long time, and in fact, even if there were no excuses, the Sith Empire would have made some excuses. And these cyclops are the pawns prepared by the empire.
Cyclops are not considered an intelligent race, so they have no status on the continent, and using them is not a loss for the Sith Empire, but it will give West a lot of headaches, and they will not let go of this kind of good thing. And the truth is just as predicted by the Sith Empire, the current Celts have no way to deal with this matter, or rather, although he is confident enough to cross the border to destroy these monsters, he is not confident that his troops can return safely. But to carry out such a task, it is necessary to be a skilled and experienced fighter to be able to accomplish it. And Celt believes that the Sith Empire has definitely been prepared for a long time, and he will not make such a dangerous decision by arranging people over there waiting for him to throw himself into the net.
Because of this, Celtic eventually opted for a defensive strategy to minimize the damage he would take, and placed more mobile checkpoints near the fortress, while at a distance, he could only try hard, but he couldn't do his best.
"I see. ”
After listening to Celtic's story, Yulian also raised his eyebrows, and then showed a smile.
"But now, I wonder if you have any other ideas, General, and if so, then I can help you?"
"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking, Mr. Yuren. ”
Celtic replied angrily, he dared to ask, he must have guessed his own thoughts. However, the old general was still very careful and cautious, and did not immediately agree to his request.
"It's a very difficult thing to do, and besides, you've only been in the Crimson Fortress for a few days and are not familiar with the situation here, so you should know what kind of problems can arise if you act rashly in this state. ”
Hearing this, Yu Lian could only shrug his shoulders and close his mouth and say no more. He knew that he couldn't say anything more, after all, the Red Fortress was a military forbidden place, and it was impossible for idlers to be familiar with the terrain here, and if he made himself a small nobleman from the twilight forest very familiar, then Celt would be even more suspicious of him. Although in the current situation, even if the old general doubts that he will not cause himself any trouble, the battle with the Sith Empire is not far away, and in such a situation, Yulian is not willing to make more trouble.
Ofaryl's matter is planned, so don't worry about it, but the next unexpected situation is better to save as much as possible.
"In that case, there is no way to do it. ”
Saying this, You Lian drank the wine in the wine glass in one gulp, then stood up and spread his hands helplessly.
"Then, I can only wait for your next order, General, before making a move, then, please forgive me for being rude, it's not too early, I should go back and put my men in order......"
"Well, Mr. Yuren, please wait. ”
Hearing this, Celtic's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly called out to Yuren.
"That's right, in fact, yesterday my people made arrangements for you without ascertaining your identity, and I apologize to you here. By all accounts, it's not a place for you and your men to live in. In that case, I will send someone to help you with the relocation in a moment, and in the meantime, as an apology, I invite you to have dinner with your men. I also hope you don't refuse. ”
“......... I certainly won't say no. ”
Hearing this, Yu Lian's complexion did not change at all, as if he had expected the other party to say this.
"Since it is your invitation, General, then I might as well be respectful, but I have a small uninvite. ”
"Please. ”
"I hope that the General will keep what you are looking at today a secret. ”
"Confidentiality.........?
Hearing this, Celtic was stunned.
"Of course I'll keep it a secret. ”
"No, I don't think you understand what I mean. ”
Saying this, You Lian stretched out a finger and shook it slightly.
"I hope that there will be no second person above who knows about this matter other than you. After all, if something happens, it will put a certain young lady in danger. I understand that your intelligence network is very solid, but because of that, I am worried. After all, the young lady didn't want to have anything to do with him anymore. ”
Saying this, Yuren smiled, then turned around, bowed gracefully to Celtic, and then turned to leave. Celtic, on the other hand, looked at Youlian's distant figure with a silent face, and at the same time secretly figured out the meaning of Yulian's words, and could see that he wanted to tell himself something, but he was beating around like this, and he didn't intend to say it at all. What does this mean? The news that Princess O'Faryl is alive will pose a threat to her? What kind of threat? Why is he still worried when he says that my intelligence network is very reliable? Generally speaking, information will not be leaked? But looking at him, it seems that he is not worried about the leakage of information at all, but worried about someone who will definitely know the information?!
Moreover, will there be someone with whom Princess O'Faryl is implicated?
Celt was silent and thought carefully, the other two legion commanders were no longer in the range, Offariel had never seen them, and Master Larry Bode had served as a court scholar before, and he could be regarded as having some communication with Her Royal Highness, but Her Royal Highness had no talent for magic, so she was not enthusiastic about magic. So, who else will be involved with her?
Thinking of this, Celt suddenly shuddered, and he inevitably thought of someone, a man he didn't want to think about, but he had to appear in front of him.
The little boy who had been following O'Faryl from time to time and was quite close to her.
His Royal Highness.
Could it be ...... Is it because of that man that she gave up her surname and no longer has anything to do with the royal family?
"Your Majesty the Emperor ......!"
Celt clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and whispered to himself.
