"Lord Weiss, the temporary formation of the army has been completed. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info but because they are undisciplined criminals, please don't expect them to follow orders. ”

"Got it. Putting the matter of Natsuki aside, Vis returned to his office, and one of his most trusted subordinates, Visser, reported to him as if he had seized the moment.

"My lord, there is one more thing. ”

"What's the matter?"

"The matter you sent to investigate has come to fruition. ”

After the death of Count Mel, who possessed the power of the demons, Weiss sent his subordinates, Shadow, to investigate the reason why Count Mel obtained that power, and the results were obtained in only two days.

"Let me see what information Eige has found. ”

"This is what Ei found in the house of Count Mel in the capital of Young. With that, Visser handed over a carefully packed package.

The material used to pack the package didn't look very nice, but even the well-informed former merchant, Ves, didn't know what it was.

"What is this made of?"

"According to Shadow's report, the materials used to pack are from the Demon Realm, and the Human Realm can't find this kind of thing, so the wrapped thing may also be from the Demon Race. ”

"Something from the Demon Realm?"

With a little curiosity, Vis unwrapped the package, which contained a small puppet. It's just that it's better to call it a monster puppet than a doll. The doll has no eyes, only a wide open mouth that should be a laughing face, and its whole body is painted red, making it look like blood is flowing from all over its body.

"What's this bad thing?"

"I don't know, but Shadow thought it might explain the power Count Mel had gained, so he sent it over. ”

"And now what about others?"

"Now Shadow has gone to Rafiq to investigate. "Rafiq is Count Mel's surname, and that realm is Count Mel's fief.

"Got it, put this thing away, and if you can, send it to the workshop and let them investigate. "This workshop was established by Weiss when he was a businessman, researching and manufacturing all kinds of things for him, the name of the workshop is only a simple workshop, without any other modifications, because, in the whole world, only this workshop can really be called a workshop, its workmanship, and the strength of innovation ability, is completely incomparable with other workshops, just because of magic, only peers and a small number of people know its name, but now after the magic disappears, I am afraid it will not be long before its name will be remembered by the whole world。

"Yes. Weiser put the doll away, "Then I'll send it over." ”

"Yes. Vesss nodded.

Weiser saluted her boss and took her leave.

And Weiss, after Weiser left, walked out of his office, and now that the deployment has been completed, the next step is to deal with the rebel army that attacked Francis.

"Lord Ves. Bodilia immediately saluted his master. At this moment, Bodila has been appointed as the lieutenant of Vess, and it is he who has completed the deployment.

"All the troops have been gathered, the deployment has been completed, and it is time to send troops. ”

"Send troops?" Bodilia wondered if he had misheard.

"What's wrong?"

"We are 30,000 undisciplined people, and the other side is 50,000 trained people, shouldn't we adopt the strategy of defending the city?"

"Defend the city?" Vess looked at Bodiak with a strange expression.

"I ask you, what are the Empire's fortifications on the walls now, and can they be used for defense?"

Bodilia shut up at once, that's right, all the fortifications in the central capital need magic to activate, whether it is the fireball tower. It's lava gates, or summoning arrows, and in order to activate them, the use of mana is necessary.

"Rather than allowing the enemy to break through the walls and endanger the inhabitants of Yangdu, it would be better for us to take the initiative. And we have already received several pieces of information about the rebels, each of which shows that they are now preparing to send troops, and it is estimated that they will arrive in Yangdu tomorrow, which also gives us plenty of time to prepare for war with them. Besides, a more critical point is that a great victory in a head-to-head duel between the empire and the rebel army can show the whole country that the empire has not perished and will not perish, and that it will be able to rely on this capital to recruit many rebel troops in the future. ”

"Are you sure you're going to win?" Bodiak was a little skeptical, after all, they were going to lead a group of criminals to fight, except for Bodiak, who was absolutely loyal to Weiss, other criminals could really obey Weiss's orders?

"Yes, we have few people, but we have three advantages. ”

"There are three advantages?" Bodiak was a little puzzled, and a confused expression appeared on his face.

Seeing the puzzled expressions of his subordinates, Weiss began to explain the reason.

"First, the rebel soldiers felt that they had won the victory, and they thought that there was no resistance in the central capital. Vesss gave three reasons for victory.

"Second, although our soldiers were criminals, they fought for freedom, and freedom is what they desire the most, and one person can give everything for freedom, especially them, so our morale is completely incomparable with the other side. ”

"Isn't that going to end up being a failure because they scattered and ran away to save their lives? Those guys are very selfish, and I know very well what they think after spending so much time with them. ”

"What if you could be rewarded for giving up your life for it?" asked Weiss. "Don't forget that many criminals used to be mercenaries who fed on war. ”

Bodiack, who realized what his master was trying to say, stopped talking, knowing full well that his master had the strength to give the kind of reward that would make people lose their lives.

"The third point is the issue of combat effectiveness, why do you think that the combat effectiveness of these criminals is completely inferior to that of the other party? Although there is no discipline, the fighting quality of these criminals is undoubtedly extremely high, and some of them used to be mercenaries, so it is not an exaggeration to call them elite soldiers. ”

"My lord, you are right, and these criminals have an incomparable desire to fight, if you hide them behind the city wall, I really doubt that they will break the wall and rush out to fight the rebels. ”

"Yes, so I intend to lead them against the rebels in the plains between Yangdu and Francis. ”

"Understood, so isn't it time for the criminals to mobilize?"

"Yes, we'll leave early tomorrow morning, and now that they're no longer criminals, I want you to call them—"

Weston paused, "Soldier." ”
