Military intelligence kept coming, Peng Peng's observations, the spying of the Undercurrent Assassin Guild, and the scout reconnaissance records sent by General Longfellow were all passed on to Brian one by one, and the Viscount really did it, lying in bed and knowing the world.

For Croft's Raging Wave Legion, don't look at their large numbers, Brian is not worried at all, it is just a rabble of five thousand, loose discipline, fragile will, logistics and supplies can't keep up, not to mention combat effectiveness, almost all of them are composed of city defense troops, generally first-class soldiers, such a unit, if it encounters a dwarven escort regiment, it is like a cake encountering a sharp knife.

The only thing worth paying attention to is that Croft still has a mage team in his hand, with five third-level magicians, but it has a certain amount of destructive power, but if the outlaw team beheads it, the mage team still can't play any role, it is estimated that as long as Peng Peng makes a move, he can kill those five people in an instant, and the protective film of the third-level magician can no longer stop Peng Peng's deadly attack.

Without the support of the strong, just relying on the accumulation of ordinary soldiers, it is almost impossible to achieve victory in the Lukai Continent, not to mention that in his own hands, there is a genius commander like Longfellow.

In Brian's heart, he hopes to solve four things with the help of Croft's troops. First, it hurt the nerves of the new emperor and made him understand that although Toby's fiefdom was small, it could not be provoked at all, and then the two sides sat down to negotiate, obtained absolute autonomy and tax exemption, and Brian no longer wanted to pay a huge amount of taxes to any high-level bigwigs. Second, it is necessary to make the Marquis of Isaac truly submit to him, always stand on the same front with him, and form a life-and-death alliance, instead of the current unreliable agreement relationship. Third, the forces of the Alliance of Freedom and Equality may come to troubled the waters again and take advantage of the chaos, and Brian will take the opportunity to completely eliminate them, so that the people of the Fergus family can understand that the alliance can make trouble, but it is better not to make trouble in the southernmost territory. Fourth, subdue the guerrilla mercenary groups.

The guerrilla mercenary group is a combat-effective corps, originally affiliated to the Sacred Heart City branch, it is a sword in the hands of Archbishop Olcott, the cardinal archbishop and the high priest of Effie have died one after another, this team is unrestrained, it has become an independent team, all the forces of Seneh want to bring it under their command, but the conditions offered are not satisfactory to the mercenaries, and they are still in the state of mercenaries, whoever gives more money will fight for whom, and now, the guerrilla mercenary group has collected Alik's property and is cooperating with Croft to go south, and has reached the border of the Marquis of Isaac's fiefdom。

"There are only three days left at most, and the guerrilla mercenary group will attack the clay pottery city, my God, the Marquis is really calm, he just won't come to me for help. Brian sighed, "The mirror crystal I gave him has not been activated by anyone so far, are they ready to meet the enemy on their own? ”

For the situation of the marquis's fiefdom, Brian knew everything about it, in order to prepare for the war, he reluctantly recruited 4,000 people to temporarily enlist, plus the regular army was less than 5,000, but such an army, there were only a few hundred people with combat effectiveness, and the others were just a few hundred people, just a few people, compared to the guerrilla mercenary group of 2,000 people, it was too far behind, that group of people were all real, and there was a commando, thirty people were all over the third level, and their regiment commander Hoover had reached the height of the fifth level, only Lilian or himself was comparable to it.

Worst of all, the economic problems of the clay city have led to the fact that if they plan to hold on, they will not be able to last long.

Brian believes that it won't be long before the mirror crystal will react, Isaac is a smart man, and when it comes to the most critical moment, he can still distinguish between survival and face.

Sure enough, in the afternoon, the mirror crystal finally lit up, and the Marquis appeared there, and his whole mental state was not very good.

"Lord Viscount, have you been indifferent to Emperor Alik's military operations, but he is targeting our two fiefdoms?" Isaac said angrily, and what made him even angrier was that Brian was actually lying on the bed talking to him.

"I'm sorry, Lord Marquis, I was seriously injured the other day and can't give you a salute. Brian said.

"You're hurt!" Isaac realized, "why don't you tell me." ”

"The injuries were so serious that everyone was so frightened that they forgot to inform you. Brian snorted.

"The guerrilla mercenary group has reached my fiefdom and launched an attack, and the two small towns on the edge have been ransacked by them. "Isaac was a little sad.

"If it were me, I would attack you first, you are the Marquis, and the victory over you is even greater. "Brian acted like he was fine.

"At this time, you still say this, don't forget that we have an alliance agreement, and it is time to share honor and disgrace. Isaac reminded.

"Do you share honor and disgrace? Then you still told the emperor that I colluded with the Alliance for Freedom and Equality, and it has nothing to do with you?" Brian asked rhetorically, "A few days ago, you took the initiative to cut off trade between the two places, claiming that you would never communicate with me?"

Isaac didn't expect Brian to know everything, and fell into embarrassment: "Isn't this acting for them?"

"When the situation is pressing, fake drama will be done. ”

Both sides were silent, silent for a long time, and the Marquis had to say in a begging tone: "I need your help, Lord Viscount, if we join hands and fight the guerrilla mercenary group together, and win, and then we can stop Croft, at that moment, Alik will look at it differently, he will make strategic adjustments, maybe both of us can benefit." ”

"Since it's a joint operation, who will be the commander-in-chief?" asked Brian.

There was silence again, and Isaac clearly didn't want to give up the power of the commander-in-chief easily.

"Show a little sincerity, Lord Marquis, for you, it is the time to make matters worse, in terms of financial resources, military strength and the number of strong people in front of you, you are not as much as me, this command, what else is worth discussing?" Brian was not polite at all, "Of course, I need the commander-in-chief, I have more plans, and I will not push your army into the fire pit, how about it?"

"More plans, what?" Isaac still hesitated.

"I'm going to pull the Alliance of Freedom and Equality out of this area completely. "Without them, Alik wouldn't have sent troops." ”

"Are you sure?"

"Not only that, but I can also make the guerrilla mercenary group suspend the attack so that you don't suffer further losses. Brian smiled.

"It can't be, why should they listen to you?" questioned Isaac.

"Because the deputy head of the guerrilla mercenary group is already in my house. Brian laughed loudly, "Deputy Captain, come and say hello to Lord Marquis." ”
