Chapter 419: Politeness
But now the situation is ...... It's not time for the rapids to retreat yet. From An Fei's personal point of view, Marino will definitely need Marino's help in the future, even if Marino wants to retreat, he will have to wait until the situation is stable, or Chris has an absolute advantage.
"Do you know why I talked to you about this when we first met? Marino smiled wryly: "Since the outbreak of the War of the Dead, there have been more than 12,000 mercenaries who have defected to the Storm Castle, plus their families, the Wind Castle has more than 50,000 people, which is a huge burden for me. And...... More than 10,000 mercenaries plus the mercenaries of the Brotherhood Alliance mercenary group are enough for me to form a large army, I don't know if the Glory Mercenary Group has taken the opportunity to expand their strength, if they always stay the same, I even have the confidence to start a war and destroy them separately!"
"So many?" An Fei said in amazement. This is the gap, Alice announced early that Moramachi Town will open its doors to all mercenaries, but the mercenaries who come to join are still very limited, including some acquaintances such as Ozgucci, and compared with the mercenaries who defected to the Storm Castle, they can at most get a fraction of others. Of course, this also has something to do with the tactics of the necromancers, and the area around the Hengduan Valley is the most densely populated area of undead creatures, and the Wind and Rain Castle is relatively much safer, and almost all of the people who cross the Hengduan Valley and rush to the town of Moramachi are warriors, if they carry a large number of family members in the team, they will not dare to take risks, and can only go to a safe place.
"Yes. Marino nodded: "Storm Castle has gathered tens of thousands of mercenaries. It's not that easy to explain clearly. Some people will think that I want to do something, in fact, I do have the capital to do something, I don't want to cause misunderstanding, you know, many people are used to taking rumors as the truth. ”
"Do you want to give me all those mercenaries?" An Fei smiled: "You think I'm not afraid of being burned?"
"You're not like me, no matter what you do in the eyes of others. You're all working for Chris, paving the way for your future here. ”
"How did Marino talk to Anfei about this?" Entos walked in from outside. frowned: "This kind of thing is not something you and I should care about!"
"Entos. I don't think you've ever asked Chris for his opinion when you're a fan of the authorities, do you know what Chris really thinks?" asked Marino lightly.
Entos was silent for a moment, and then sat down slowly. Did you land today? The conflict between Grandon and Chris is the most troublesome for him, Chris is like his own brother, needless to say, Grandon also respects him. The two had a good personal relationship, and he also instructed Grandon on how to please Nya. Whoever he supports is grossly unfair to another. Niya ran away privately, he pretended to be confused, and Sol never interfered, which already reflected the helpless attitude of the two of them, let the little characters solve the matter by themselves, and they tried not to interfere.
If one of Grandon and Chris has a bad personality, then all the problems are solved, the problem is that the advantages of Grandon and Chris coincide, they are both smart, kind-hearted, self-denying, aware of the people's suffering, willing to contribute to the country, and have good interpersonal relationships in their respective small ***, which makes people unable to choose.
I don't know how many aristocratic children are happy to behave and bully men and women, Philip's grandson Zeda is an example, Grandon and Chris, as princes, naturally have the highest immunity, but they have never done anything like this, on the contrary, they are very bitter about this kind of thing, but Grandon is more direct. During the war, Grandon served as an overseer and returned to the Holy City on expeditions, always volunteered to serve as the deputy sheriff of the Holy City, severely punished the children of the nobles who did wrongdoing, and would not tolerate anyone, nor was he afraid of offending anyone. When the eldest prince West was acting as the minister, the ministers and nobles of the Holy City moved closer to West, and it could only be said that it was not a day's cold!
And Chris adopted an attitude of not being in his position and not seeking politics, and now he is only poor in military and political experience, if Chris is given a chance, no one dares to say that he will not have Grandon do a good job, this time Yolande let Chris serve as the prison guard, the real purpose is known to everyone.
As for the female color, Grandon only circles around Niya and a girl, and has never been involved in anything like flowers, while Chris has devoted all his energy to learning magic, these two people are definitely the alternative among the children of the nobility, and they are an alternative that people admire! In the eyes of Saul and others, Grandon and Chris should be sympathetic to each other, you must know that brothers work together, and their profits are gold! In the future, one inherits the throne of Yolande and the other becomes a prince, and the two join forces to restructure, and the entire Ma O Empire will have a new atmosphere! This is undoubtedly the most perfect ending, but the fact is that the exhibition is contrary to their wishes, Grandon holds a banquet on Chris's birthday, and Chris only asks the king before leaving
Farewell deliberately ignores Granddon, which means that the rift has been born
"And I'm going to think about my men. Marino's gaze fell on An Fei: "There are two kinds of people, one is ambitious, and the other is the same as me, and the people I recommend to you who are content with the present belong to the former, and it will not be good for them to continue to follow me, even if they work hard, at most they will become my Xi retainers......, they will not be able to replace me, right?" I figured it out, instead of letting them stay with me and endure their unbearable dullness and loneliness, it is better to let them take refuge in you and break through vigorously, if they really make any achievements, they must be grateful to me as a recommender. ”
An Fei sighed, Marino's words gave him a revelation, and in the future, he should push Chris to the front more, and he must not give the impression that Chris is just a puppet, which is not only not good for Chris, but also dangerous for himself.
"But I hope you treat them well, their loyalty is not in doubt, I can guarantee it!" Marino smiled, "And after I had this idea, I often chatted with them, and often talked about you, and I used an exaggerated language to highlight your wisdom and strength, and I can see that they have great admiration for you." ”
"You...... How exaggerated?" An Fei asked with a wry smile, remembering the scrutinizing and timid gazes of the mercenary leaders as he entered the city.
"Actually, it's not an exaggeration, you were once a student of the Sage, then you will definitely become the only Sage-level powerhouse. Marino smiled, "There are many more, such as you fighting violence and scolding the great swordsman Philip, going into the tiger's den alone to annihilate an entire squadron of griffin knights, fighting necromancers and killing Anassita and a dozen necromancers in one fell swoop, founding a grand alliance in Moramachi and defeating the attack of hundreds of thousands of undead creatures." ”
"This is an exaggeration??"
"A little exaggeration is just a must, artistic rendering for the bard, in fact, those so-called heroic biographies are also a kind of rendering. Marino laughs, "I always wanted to be a bard when I was very young. ”
"You said there were more than twelve thousand mercenaries, and how many of them were magicians?"
"Yes magician...... I don't know if you need to do the statistics yourself. Marino suddenly smiled evilly: "You can't be complacent about this huge amount now, you must know that I have handed over my baggage to you, and how to feed these people before the trade routes are opened is the first thing you have to think about." ”
"I have food, but I need to send someone to get it. An Fei smiled.
"Where are you?" Marino was stunned, although the Storm Castle was his own city, and the reserves were extremely rich in all aspects, but there were more than 50,000 people at once, and he had been pushed to the point of being overstretched. His original plan was to let Entos take the more than 10,000 mercenaries to take the initiative to join An Fei, not only greatly helped An Fei, but also made a great contribution to Chris that could not be ignored, and naturally handed over the burden to An Fei, which is a good thing to kill two birds with one stone. Now that he heard that there was food, of course he had 'bad intentions'.
"Sejialan has already led the army into the country of mercenaries to fight, but she has to feed more than 100,000 people, and it shouldn't be a problem to feed more than tens of thousands of us. ”
"You're going to rob Sejialan's baggage?" Marino said dumbfounded.
"No, you know, I've robbed it once, and a few more times it's nothing. ”
"But Se Jialan has already suffered a loss, she must be on guard, and then she wants to succeed...... It's hard, it's hard!"
"I'm not going to do anything in the Mercenary Country, here is a checkpoint between the Mercenary Country and the Shining Sand Empire. An Fei scratched the table with his hand, leaving a deep scratch on the table: "I have a prisoner of the Shining Sand Empire here, and he confessed that when Sera Lan set out on the expedition, he was blocked by the checkpoint and forcibly captured the checkpoint, in order to express his desperate determination. The royal family of the Shining Sand Empire was originally opposed to Sejialan's expedition, but later saw that it was irretrievable, so they could only change their attitude. ”
"What does this have to do with food?"
"The defenders were so heroic that Segaran had to order the mages to destroy the only two mage towers on the level, and after the battle, she forcibly took all the mages from the level. Without the protection of the Mage Tower and the Magician, this level is nothing more than a void for Suzanne and me, and the two of us can enter and open the gates at any time. An Fei pointed and said, "And the largest supply base of Sejialan is on the other side of the level. ”
"You...... You had planned to attack there before you came, did you?" Marino reacted.
"Originally, I wanted to escape to the Storm Castle to rest, but since Sejialan is also here, it would be rude for me not to do anything. ”
