Chapter 368 The dumb man eats coptis
The atmosphere in Moramachi Town is surprisingly harmonious, Fernando talks enthusiastically, in fact, Anfei had expected in advance that Fernando would not adopt an aggressive attitude, this is the first time that the other party has come into contact with a large number of mercenaries, if he has a bad relationship with the mercenaries, it will have an irreparable impact on the future development, and Fernando will not even think of this. 【Reading.com】
When the guest sat down, Fernando resolutely let An Fei sit on the main seat, repeatedly clarified that An Fei was the host here, and also gave up the guest seat to Chris, and the two of them refused for a long time before Fernando reluctantly sat down.
Later, Fernando focused his attention on Alice, and Anfei, Ernest, Entos and others had already introduced each other outside the town, but Alice was a new face. It is undeniable that without Susanna, Alice has naturally become the only center of attention of men, whether it is her beauty or graceful and elegant temperament, she has a strong attraction, not to mention Fernando, a leader who must understand the situation in detail, even those priests and the superior knights of light are peeking at Alice from time to time.
"Lord Anfei, this young lady is ......," Fernando asked softly.
"This is Miss Alice, my assistant and the de facto administrator of the town of Moramachi. An Fei smiled: "It's all thanks to her that Moramachi Town can have the scale it has now." ”
"It's amazing how good you can be. Fernando looked appreciative: "I used to hear bards say that the gods are always fair. You don't particularly favor who loses another thing when you have one thing, for a woman, smart and beautiful often can't coexist, hehe...... If I had the chance, I would suggest they come to the town of Moramachi to see Miss Alice. ”
"You've really won a prize. Alice smiled appropriately.
"No, no, I'm telling the truth. Fernando laughed, "Those bards are so naïve, I don't think the gods have ever been fair." Some were born nobles, some were born slaves deprived of their freedom, some had good morals and personalities, such as Lord Amphi and your beautiful Miss Alice, and others ......," Fernando clapped his hands suddenly.
The door was pushed open, and several of Fernando's guards pushed two men in. Fernando sneered and said, "It's hard to find any merit in them, I really wonder how they became the Knight of Light?!"
The two men who had been pushed in had already knelt down, their faces full of timidity, one Martin and the other Hield.
"Lord Fernando, what are you ......?" asked Anfei in surprise.
"Lord Anfei. I know that the question of how to place a large number of legions of baggage has caused you a lot of trouble, but I believe that as long as we can understand each other. There is nothing that cannot be discussed, but they are taking my letter and doing something wrong, not only causing a very bad impact, but also leaving a rift between you and me, I cannot tolerate such behavior!" Fernando said slowly: "I will leave these two people to you to deal with. No matter what you want to do, I will not interfere, it is your right. ”
"Forget it. Fernando is not a big deal. An Fei smiled: "To be honest, these mercenaries under me also have unshirkable responsibilities, they are all rough people, and it is inevitable that there are some inconsiderate places in etiquette, which have caused some undeserved misunderstandings." And I'm also responsible, I've never managed so many people, and there's almost no rules in place, and if you have to punish them, then I should be punished too. ”
"You're such a magnanimous man......" Fernando thought for a moment and said coldly to Martin and Hield, "Don't you two want to say something?"
"Thank you, Lord Anfei. Martin said hurriedly.
"Thank you, Lord Anfei. Hilde's tone was somewhat unwilling.
"Let's get out. Fernando waved his hand, then turned to Anfei and smiled, "Lord Anfei's extermination of those rancid undead creatures is the goal of all humans, and I don't want the unhappiness of the past to affect our relationship." ”
"I know and believe that no one wants to see their home overrun by undead creatures. ”
"I'm relieved when you say that. Fernando smiled and said, "You guys go down first." ”
The knights of light and priests on Fernando's side stood up and left the conference room slowly, with only one of the upper knights remaining, pulling out a map and spreading it on the table. However, Fernando did not ask any mercenaries to leave, and this low posture more or less played a certain role in easing the situation, and Ezgüch and the others looked at Fernando with no longer so hostile eyes.
"What I'm going to talk about now is a bit abrupt for you
Logically speaking, it should be discussed tomorrow, but ...... No, the soldiers of the noble gods have had many frictions with small groups of undead on the road, and now those necromancers should know that the Shield of Light Legion has entered the land of mercenaries, and we must make the greatest possible results before they react!" Fernando took the crystal rod handed over by the superior knight and slid it on the map: "I have already worked out the attack plan, I want to ask everyone's opinions to find out the shortcomings in the plan." ”
Ozgüch and the others glanced at each other, and turned their attention to the map, the country of mercenaries is their home, just like An Fei just said, no one wants to see their home occupied by a group of undead creatures, they used to have no strength and could only defend passively, but now with reinforcements, of course, they have to do their best.
"These red circles are the last fortresses of the human race, not counting Blackwater City and White Mountain City, and not counting Moramachi Town, such fortresses have temporarily appeared thirty-seven, but what is worrying is that after fighting for so long, their attrition is very serious, and in some places, there are only a few hundred mercenaries left who can fight. ”
"How did you get this map?" asked Anfei in surprise. Fernando was able to name the exact number of mercenaries, proving that they had been carefully scouted, but it was impossible to scout in an area dominated by undead creatures!
"This is thanks to the great help of Lord Mangshu. Fernando laughed.
"Insight Eagle King Mangshu??"
"Yes. Fernando nodded: "Before I got this map, I had two battle plans, one was to march from the exit of the Mao Empire's Hengduan Valley, and use Moramachi Town as a supply base to slowly sweep away those undead creatures, but I don't know how long you can hold out, Master Buzureano said that as long as you have you, Moramachi Town will never fall, hehe...... I was a little skeptical. There is also a plan to lead the Bright Shield Legion to advance into the Shining Sand Empire, starting to attack from the Hengduan Valley at the end of the Sand Empire, although this is a big circle, it is relatively safe, and the straight-line distance from Baishan City is relatively close. ”
"Then why didn't you take the second plan?" Anfei asked softly.
"That plan was strongly opposed by His Majesty Yolande and Marshal Béeri. Fernando smiled, and there was something more in his eyes that was invisible.
In fact, people with a little bit of brains know that Fernando's second plan is just a dream, the source of the Bright Shield Legion comes from the Tumen Business Alliance and the border guards of Blacknia City, and the baggage is also completely dependent on the strategic purpose of the Mao Empire, the strategic purpose of the Yolander is to control the energy lifeline of the Big 6 after the war and lay the foundation for unification, in this case, the Yolande never wants the two-party alliance to become a three-way alliance. And Pope William was bent on opening up a diocese and expanding the influence of the Church, and he did not want to see another person who shared the cake, so Fernando's plan was doomed to be unrealized.
But Fernando was the actual commander of the war, as the saying goes, mute eats coptis and suffers, and he can't tell what kind of influence he has over the Shield of Light, and when it comes to critical moments, he can't command anyone except those Knights of Light and the Priesthood. From Fernando's point of view, he hopes that the composition of the legion is more complex, and if the army of the Shining Sand Empire is also expanded, he can check and balance left and right, and consolidate his position, although this is a kind of playing with fire, but it is much better than nothing.
It's a pity that his idea can't get the approval of Yoland, nor can he get the support of Pope William, and he is not the only great knight in the church, if he confides all his bitterness to Pope William, what awaits him can only be to be replaced, because his ability has disappointed His Majesty the Pope.
An Fei thought for a moment and asked, "So where do you want to start attacking?" He understood something, no matter how good Fernando's military and political literacy was, he was already doomed to have no chance with the famous general, on the contrary, he could only be a scapegoat. The so-called famous generals are not so easy to do, not only need the right time, place, people, but also need a pair of free wings, which Fernando lacks.
"From here. Fernando pointed with a crystal wand: "Because our goal is not only to destroy the undead creatures, but also to rescue all the mercenaries who are fighting independently, this route is the closest and the fastest." ”
"What do you see?" An Fei's gaze fell on Ozgüch and the others.
Ozgucci and the others hesitated for a long time, nodded slowly, in fact, they couldn't fully understand how to destroy the undead creatures on this military map, it was only the second goal, and their most important thing was to rescue all their companions as soon as possible, and Fernando's words went to their hearts.
