"On the other hand, speaking of support, apart from that average combat strength of the berserker warband and a few fire masters, what else did the Dawn Council give them? Do you think the rich lords of the West Coast really have such great ambitions?" The viscount shook his head: "The reason why the rebels are not finished is because some people want them to continue to exist - why do they always find a gap in the encirclement and suppression? Why do they always find the warehouses of the various merchant families?"

"Some, are there people outside of the Dawn Council who support them?"

"It's not just the Dawn Council that wants the rebels to survive, it's not just the nobles, there is a struggle for power, status, and wealth. The viscount said: "The rebels can carry the black pot, at least they can use the rebels as an excuse to collect more taxes, sell more ordnance, and even kill more people." ”

"This ......"

"Why do they have to run to Yaxiu when the mountains and rivers are exhausted? Have you ever thought about it?"

"Because Yaxiu is closest to the West Coast?" the Major replied uncertainly.

"You are twenty-one years old this year, you can do a good job with 500 people, and you can make do with 1,000 people, but don't think so much about 10,000 people now. In a few years, you will be able to rise to the rank of knight by sending bundles of cabbage to the Grand Duke, and you should know something other than war. The Viscount asked the Major, "Do you know why the men of our Sidon family only fight wars and do not engage in politics?"

"General, the family motto is written in black and white: no one will oppose loyal and simple soldiers, this is the way to run a family. ”

"What does loyalty and simplicity mean? You don't really think it's loyalty and simplicity, right? The so-called loyalty and simplicity are just the attitude of our Sidon family, not that our family is a monster, born loyal and brave, and will not have a long heart for a lifetime. Viscount Seaton's smile became innocent, and even a little wooden: "So, it's not that we don't understand politics, we just don't engage in politics." ”

"Actually, the vast majority of the rebels don't know what they are, they're just a wretched mass of political excrement, or they're not fermented -- what the hell is going on? It's just a bunch of sanctimonious mincites who are hiding in the shadows, inciting this group of rebels to stir up the Yashu and to smear the feces on the faces of the Grand Duke, me, you, and everybody of Yaxiu. ”

The Major was silent at the Viscount's words, his eyes flickering.

"You suppressed the rebels last year so that they could not rise in Yaxiu, and this was the first time we fought against this group. The viscount continued: "The rebels did not know that they were being used, or that the principals could not hold out under the anger of their men, so they went to Langston. This result caused the group of people behind them to be so confused that they had to rearrange it, so it dragged on until today. ”

"If that's the case, General, at least on a tactical level, we have a lot of ways to stop them from entering Yaxiu. Major Gotha replied solemnly: "But what stranges me is that none of your arrangements seem to be the simple deeds of Zhongyong. ”

"Oh, for example?" said Viscount Sidon, picking up an earthy cigarette and fumbling for his pocket.

"General, if you were just my superior, I would never be so reckless. Major Gotha's hesitation was only a moment: "For example, the defeat of the Vulture United." ”

"I finally see that you have something less than simple, and it's a pitiful little bit, but it's a good sign. The Viscount stretched out his finger and gestured: "Well, if you were just my servant and dogleg, I wouldn't have answered you so generously - that's right, the vultures are all wiped out, and they will never turn back, they are the ones I sent to die." ”

"General, can you please explain?" In the garden conservatory of the headquarters of the Allied Army's Yaxiu Theater of Operations, Major Gotha maintained a serious expression: "The Vulture Wing, after all, is also more than five hundred lives. ”

"Of course, it's much easier to play tricks than growing vegetables. Viscount Sidon lit the tobacco, let out a puff of spicy smoke, and pouted with infinite satisfaction: "Ah, it has a premise that you must know, that is, the people who hide behind the dung ball, they are destined to enter Yaxiu, and no one can stop it." ”

"General, I don't understand that. ”

For example, the Radiant Church lost face at the door of Jashua at the beginning of the year, and they desperately needed a victory to restore the glory of the true God. May God bless my food as well. Can you stop this?" said the viscount, jokingly, "the great merchant families of Langston were overturned by the rebels, and their coffins were almost burned, and they were in desperate need of opening new trade routes to accumulate wealth. So how much Lao Tzu can smoke in the future depends on your filial piety. Can you stop this?"

"Under the general's teaching, I felt that my filial piety was shrinking along with my self-esteem. ”

"It's good to admit that you're not strong enough, you see me, I've been reduced to the point of having to hit the self-esteem of my juniors to relieve my boredom. The viscount laughed: "The above two points can be seen as the result of the painstaking arrangement of the group of people behind the rebels, the glorious church with disgrace to the ground, the big merchants with interests, and even a group of broken households who want to climb up, they have already set their sights on us." ”

"Speaking of strength and money, the Principality of Yaxiu is just a pitiful one, so we can't stop these big hooligans. That's right, I can let you go to the border to block or even destroy this big ball of dung, it's easy to borrow fire, but what about after you destroy them? The tricks of the big hooligans will get dirtier and smellier. ”

"I understand. So we have to keep the rebels in order to control what happens?"

"You're not stupid enough to be that bad, yes, we're going to keep this ball of dung. Therefore, we are now fighting against the big hooligans behind us through this dung ball. The viscount said, "But do you know how many people we will die if we let the dung balls penetrate deep into the borders?

"But General, the destruction of the Vulture Wing will prevent them from penetrating deep into the Principality......"

"Relatives are relatives, there is something you have to understand, otherwise I will make people beat you up if you talk nonsense." The key to stopping the rebels was not the Vulture Wing, and the outcome of the Vulture Wing's total annihilation was not up to me. Five hundred against five hundred are dead, which can only be said that the vulture team itself looks dead. The viscount said, "I don't understand, think about it, why does the dung ball roll so fast?"

"Yes, General, why are the rebels moving quickly?"

"Because the dung balls haven't had a chance to stick to that mess yet. Why did the rebels wander? It was because they had discarded all the jars and jars as they ran. So, I sent a vulture team to send them a batch of jars and jars. The viscount explained: "When the poor and mad see the money, and the hungry see the food, is there any reason not to hold on tightly? ”

"Give them something sweet. Major Gotha nodded: "Then we can firmly grasp the whereabouts of the rebels, and clean them up every once in a while, so that they will neither swell nor perish easily?"

"That's right, the rebels are the focus, and everything revolves around them. And in the end, the Principality of Yaxiu had to pay a price, and even sacrifice some people, while guaranteeing the bottom line. I know that cabbage and cabbage are both vegetables, they are the same in personality, and there is no question of who should serve the dinner plate and who should go into the pigsty. But now we have to choose one to feed the pigs, so what do we do? ”

"I roughly understand, thank you, General. But I still don't understand, if things are really as simple as you say, then what are you worried about?"

"Whoever it is, we can talk about it, but now there is something we can't talk about. Viscount Sidon sighed: "Someone just came to tell me that the Holy City Headquarters of the Radiant Church has made a decision, and they have sent the Ninth Apostle to inspect the Andorran Alliance. ”

"Ninth Apostle?" Major Gotha's brows furrowed instantly: "Knights of the Holy Sword?"

"With such an expression, are you dissatisfied with the Radiant Church?" Viscount Sidon glanced at Major Gotha: "It is so difficult and difficult for us to deal with the Radiant Church and the Diocese of the Andorran Union, but now there are completely uncontrollable and unpredictable factors joining in - the Apostles are the most powerful people in this world, and they don't care about anyone or anything at all!"

"We, and the group of people behind the dung ball, everyone did not expect that the Holy City of the Church would send such a person to settle the account. The Diocese of Andorra was severely punished for its lack of supervision, and the Langston royal family was also a loss of money for its passive sabotage. All I'm worried about now is whether the Ninth Apostle will come to Yaxiu or not, whether he will be mad at us. ”

"I'm afraid it's very difficult, I heard that the ninth apostle has always had a bad temper. Major Gotha shook his head, "If he meets someone from the Anomalous Master Guild, things will be bad." ”

"The Grand Duke has already informed the Wizard Guild, but alas, the Principality of Yaxiu doesn't even have a Wizard Branch, and now I have to worry about them. The viscount spat out, "Is there anything more damn like this?"

"Do you want to hear the truth?"

"Forget it!" the viscount snorted again: "Keep the rebels' intelligence transmission line, it will be useful in the future." ”

"And what about your orderly?" asked Major Gotha, "as a sir, do you have to bear a little responsibility?"

"The responsibility must be paid, it must be paid! So I decided to punish myself for eating a whole roast lamb hind leg at night, do you say it is better to eat before the meal? or eat it after the meal?" The viscount snorted twice: "As for the orderly, for the sake of him not poisoning me for two years as a dog's leg and not poisoning me, let's lock it up first." Vacant position, this time I'm going to find a pretty chick!Do you know a little girl with big wavy blond hair, pure eyes, flawless breasts, a thin waist, and a thin ass?"

"I know, General," replied the Major solemnly, "the second and youngest daughters of the Grand Duke." ”

"Don't hang your bad debts on Lao Tzu. The viscount was furious: "Get out!"
