Chapter 341: Discernment
We are not philanthropists, and the town of Moramachi is not a place where they can come and go when they want, and since it has provided them with a guarantee of survival, it is only natural that they should do something. Alice said slowly: "From the beginning, my goal was to absorb their power, and the names of Iron Blood Rose, War Fire, and Nameless will no longer appear, although I have never said it explicitly, but I believe that the leaders of those mercenary groups are already ready to meet their fate." β
"Manlin did that because he knew your mind?"
"Needless to say, he's a very ambitious guy himself. β
"I see what you're thinking, but ...... Do you think we will succeed?" An Fei nodded: "I met the couple of the Shadow Mercenary Group on the road, I can see that they have a great opinion of you and Man Lin, and not everyone is willing to give in!"
"What did they say to you?"
"They said Manlin was forcing them to be lackeys. β
"They were too embarrassed to tell you the truth, and I know it was caused by Nebson's coveted beauty, and he often looked for opportunities to do something to him, so they couldn't bear it anymore and had to find a way to escape from Moramachi. Seeing that An Fei's attitude was very low-key, Alice was indeed discussing the problem with her, and there was no similar kind of condescending taste of interrogation, and finally a faint smile appeared on her face: "The shadow mercenary group only has two of them, what can they lose? Even if there is that loss, it is far from being comparable to other group leaders." β
"Are you sure that no one will oppose us?"
"I can't guarantee that, but with your ability, I believe you can solve these small contradictions perfectly. Alice smiled, "My lord, what was the attitude of these people towards you when you came back?"
"Very warm and respectful. An Fei laughed too.
"Manlin raised the issue of mercenary adaptation several times. OzgΓΌch: They have never relented and are adamantly opposed to Manlin, but what do you think they would do if you asked the same question?"
"This ...... It's hard to say. An Fei groaned and said: "I have saved them once before, but they can choose to keep this kind of thing in their hearts, or they can choose to leave it behind, and now they are willing to stand by my side, just because I am stronger than Man Lin, if I meet a more suitable person in the future, I can't guarantee what they will do." β
"You are wrong. I guess they'll give you their full back, even if you're trying to break up and regroup. β
"You're overconfident, aren't you?"
"It's not that you're too cautious, it's also that you're thinking too sinister about people's hearts, it's like ......," Alice suddenly stopped and changed the subject: "My lord, if you have a family heirloom, you have to sell it because of a disaster." Would you just find someone and start negotiating the price?"
Like what? Like I've been suspicious of you?" An Fei smiled and shook his head: "No, because this kind of treasure can only be sold once, of course I have to find the most suitable person." β
"They can only sell it once, and Manlin is by no means the most suitable person. β
"I've thought about what you're talking about, it's just ......"
"Are you worried about their loyalty?" Alice sighed slightly, "You can rest assured of that. Although mercenaries can also intrigue with each other, they are bloody, far more trustworthy than the nobles who wag their heads and tail at their heads and bark at their bottoms. Even if you deprive them of their rights in the future. Just give them a hope, they won't betray you, in fact, I should congratulate you now, you already have a group of subordinates you can trust. β
"I think Kumorokosha is more worthy of my trust. An Fei laughed.
"......," Alice was stunned and said slowly, "My lord, I can guarantee that Kumorogosha will not betray you no matter what time comes, just as I will never betray you!"
"Huh...... I believe you. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come to talk to you. Anfei's smile was more sincere than Alice's, and his eyes were clearer than Alice's, in fact, only he knew. He was still weighing left and right as he stepped through the door. If Alice's answer hadn't been reasonable and satisfying, perhaps Alice would have been a different person soon.
"My lord, do you know Kumorogosha, and I am very interested in him now. β
"Since the last time I clashed with him in Moramachi, I sent someone to investigate his life, he is a respectable and capable general, if he can be taken seriously, he will become the Beeri of the Shining Sand Empire!" An Fei sighed, "It's a pity that the people he is loyal to have a deep prejudice against him, and those who truly appreciate him are not loyal to him." β
"I'm relieved. Alice pursed her lips and smiled.
A few meters below the house, Kumorogosha and a few soldiers were silently listening to the conversation above, and there was an iron pipe in front of him that was entwined with vines, and the conversation between An Fei and Alice came from the iron pipe, although the sound was very small, but it was enough for them to hear clearly. Kumoro Gosha definitely didn't expect Anfei to think so highly of him, who is Beri, and he
The leader of the Imperial Darkmoon Magic Legion, Niu Inheim, is equal to the banner of victory, and the Gumoro Gosha who bears the name of a traitor is used to hearing ridicule and insults, and these words make his heart excited, and he inexplicably and unconsciously tore off the vines on the iron pipe, held it in his hand, and kneaded it.
"What are you relieved of?" Anfei asked in surprise.
"I didn't want Kumorogosha to have too much contact with you, because I was afraid that you would be wary of him and ruin him, since you admire ......him so much," Alice thought for a moment, "Then you can take him with you, you are now an earl, how can you not even have a personal guard by your side? β
"Forget it, he's hostile to me, and doing so will make him even more off-will. An Fei smiled bitterly, and as he smiled bitterly, he had already laid a sinister trap for Alice.
Ampy knew that in some ways he wasn't as long-term as Alice and not as sensitive as Alice, but he also had his own areas of expertise. Alice is good at handling political affairs and has a certain prestige in the Shining Sand Empire, but after she escaped from marriage, she took her maid to ask for help from a strange caravan, and became a slave girl, which is a typical big thing, smart and confused, and An Fei is very calculating and rarely making mistakes in similar small things, these two completely different performances have nothing to do with their personal ability, and it completely depends on the cultivation and experience of the acquired environment.
An Fei's vision has reached an unimaginable level, as long as there is natural life, as long as he wants, his vision can be expanded at any time, and Kumorokosha has long been sensed by him, and those words are also deliberately said to Kumorogosha. If Alice is ambitious and selfish, she will definitely be reluctant to send her only trustworthy general to his Anfei, not to mention that the reason for his refusal is human, Alice can take advantage of the situation to retract this topic.
"It's all about what you think of him, and the rest doesn't matter. Alice said naturally: "Just let him follow you, so that he can better use his abilities, I don't want to see him buried or collapsed." β
"I'll talk about that later. An Fei was only then that he really relaxed, and there was a hint of ridicule in his tone: "In this way, even if I don't come back, you are sure to get rid of Manlin?"
"He's basically unguarded against me, and it should have been easy if he had been well planned. β
"Then why wait until now?"
"My lord, mercenaries are uninhibited, if you want to gain their approval, you have to show something, such as iron will! We must reform, if you use force to force those mercenaries to submit, even if it has a certain effect, it will cause some other people to resent it. Alice laughed, "Now that Manlin has been ruined by you, you have successfully demonstrated your strength and means without harming others, and everything is logical." β
"I mean, you can do these things, there's no need to wait for me to come back. β
"I'm just a woman without roots, I don't need them to fear me and obey me, you're their best choice. β
An Fei smiled and lifted Erlang's legs, Alice had explained so clearly, all doubts were washed away, and he muttered for a moment: "By the way, Alice, do you know Sejialan?"
"Sejia blue ......" Alice's expression changed for a while before she showed a reluctant smile: "My lord, why did you think to ask about her?"
"Huh...... She's too famous now. An Fei had a solemn look on his face, he saw a volcanic hatred in Alice's eyes, could it be that these two women had a conflict before?
"What I admire most is that Princess Victoria took her as my example, and Sejialan was not interested in how to deal with political affairs, she only wanted to avenge her mother, so she took a different path since she was a child. β
"Do you have a grudge against her?" An Fei said straight to the point.
"Don't you understand, my lord, that there can only be one princess in the empire, and I am the last loser. Maybe he didn't want An Fei to see the hideousness on his face, Alice turned her face sideways and said word by word: "What I can't forget is that I never thought of hurting her, but she hurt me without hesitation!"
An Fei suddenly realized, Alice admired Princess Victoria, and took Princess Victoria as her example, then everything understood, independent marriage is just a wish of Alice, wishes and ideals are not the same thing, becoming the next princess of the prison is her real goal, and Sejialan, as Victoria's daughter, the princess of the prison is also her goal, and the fight between the two is inevitable. However, listening to Alice's tone, she still insisted on flesh and blood, and the means were too peaceful, so it would be difficult to forget the damage she suffered.
At this moment, Susanna's voice sounded outside: "Anfei, are you inside?"
"I'll go back first, you should rest early. An Fei stood up and hesitated slightly: "Relax your heart, after all, the matter has long passed, isn't it!"
