Chapter 299: Think Tank
readx;
The first plenary meeting of the Ares was held under the chairmanship of Han Jin...... As the saying goes, if you don't die by beating a snake, now is the best time to attack Zagunade, Han Jin needs to listen to everyone's opinions, but what he doesn't know is that behind his back, Jaydis, Chief Gael, and Guevara have been discussing it for a long, long time. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ Not to mention their own strength, these three people have joined forces with each other to form an outstanding think tank, not to mention the nearby lords, even the Lord of Fosa, who has been fighting against Archduke Solomon for decades, there is no small team under his account that can compare with the three of them.
Thoughtful, far-sighted, and experienced, these are the common advantages of the three of them, but their surnames are very different, the head of Gael's is deep and introverted, the Knight of Guevara has an indomitable tenacity and dares to decisive, and Jaydis, because he has been circling left and right in various circles of influence for a long time, he can be regarded as comprehensive and meticulous when he does things or analyzes anything. Of course, they also have their own shortcomings, but when they stand together, the original shortcomings are neutralized, and at the very least, the other two will point out the mistakes made by the other one in time.
"We are extremely short of soldiers, originally we have recruited more than 6,000 recruits in the past few months, but Alquet has had a very bad impact on us, his first attack is our northern battalion, the soldiers in it are almost all recruits, although we sent rescue in time, but there are still more than 700 recruits killed by Alquet and the Blood, and now in the other battalions, the morale of the recruits is very low. Lang Ning said slowly: "I have promulgated severe punishment measures, but I still can't control it, almost every day, dozens or even hundreds of recruits will escape. β
"There are too few soldiers, and the territory occupied is too large, what a contradiction. Guevara sighed.
"And over the years, the Beit League has been neutral, and I think the quality of their soldiers is also in question. Lang Ning said: "What if...... It would be nice to be able to recruit troops in Lonely Cliff City. β
"That's not realistic. Winston shook his head, he knew the situation in Lonely Cliff City very well, most of the mercenaries liked to live freely and unruly, even if the conditions given by Lang Ning were superior, it was difficult to arouse the mercenaries' interest.
"It doesn't matter if the punishment was severe, if the morale of the recruits is very low, but what matters, did you carry it out?" said Governor Gale suddenly.
"I ......" Lang Ning was stunned, and said with a wry smile: "The law does not blame the public, there are so many soldiers who have escaped, I can't all act in accordance with military discipline, otherwise, without waiting for Zagunid to fight, we can kill all the recruits ourselves." β
"That's your problem. Governor Gale said slowly: "Or, don't pretend to promulgate new military discipline, if it is promulgated, it must be strictly enforced! The recruits are killed, we can recruit again, if no one takes military discipline seriously...... Hehe, no matter how many soldiers you have at your disposal, you can't talk about any combat effectiveness at all. β
"Yes, Lang Ning, this time you are indeed too soft-hearted. Che Guevara said.
Lang Ning's face changed, but he didn't open his mouth to refute anything. He has his own sufferings, the situation between the Beit League and the Lonely Cliff City is similar, not many people are willing to be soldiers, on the surface it is recruitment, in fact, he used all kinds of threats and coercion, and even simply went to the villages and towns to catch strong men, and finally gathered more than 6,000 people. The enemy has not yet attacked, just because those recruits have violated military discipline, they will use brutal means to carry out a massacre? What is the point of recruiting them? However, Lang Ning also understood the intentions of the head of Gale and Guevara, if he gritted his teeth and killed a large number of them today, the situation might gradually improve tomorrow.
"Let's not discuss this issue, what's the use of a group of ordinary people who don't have a vindictive, useless and untrained experience?" Han Jin said, "Let's talk about Zagunid and Dismark." β
Everyone fell silent, and after a while, Guevara said slowly, "We are in an awkward position, because we have no allies! Regardless of the fact that it seems to be calm now, as soon as we send out an army to attack Zaguned, some things will immediately surface, such as Dismak, and Wild Willows. β
"Yeliucheng?are you talking about Yeliucheng??" Han Jin's brows furrowed slightly.
"Yes. β
This time, no one answered, Chief Gail and the others were all observing Han Jin's expression, and everyone knew what Yeliu City meant to Han Jin.
Han Jin pondered for a moment and said softly, "Yeliu City's attitude has always been very conservative, I don't see a reason for them to intervene. When I first met Sunil, Zagunid was leading an army to attack the Holy Crown, and Dismark sent someone to ask for help from Wild Willows, but was rejected by Wild Willows, and Sunny ran away angrily because she was very dissatisfied with the decision of the Wild Willow Senate, and she believed that Wild Willows and Sacred Crown City were closely related to each other, and they must work closely together to fight against Zaguned, who had always maintained a strong position. β
"I admit that the decisions of the Senate of Wild Willow always seem so soft, perhaps...... It has to do with their age, they don't want to take any more risks and just want to maintain the status quo. "But there are times when they are just deliberately cautious, and we can't see their caution as weakness, and I used to think that there was no need to pay attention to a bunch of cowards, but the result was ...... It was I who lost, lost on the crazy decisions they made out of the blue. β
You continue. Han Jin said thoughtfully.
"It seems to me that the Wild Willow Elders will deliberately ignore Dismark for revenge. They paid so much sacrifice, only to be usurped by Dismark and robbed of almost all the fruits of victory, and of course they were angry in their hearts. But...... They couldn't sit idly by and watch Dismark be wiped out, and if Zaguned and Dismark really fought to the point where life and death were decided, the army of Wildwillow City would definitely appear behind Zagunade. β
Guevara glanced around, and seeing that no one expressed doubts, he slowly continued: "Although Xenair has the status of a descendant of God, she is still too young, I don't think, she is qualified to sit in the Senate, hehe...... What she knew was only the news deliberately revealed by the Elders of Yeliu City, and there should be a big gap between it and the facts. β
"What do you mean by that?" Lei Zhe coughed dryly.
"It's very simple, a lie that keeps oneself in the dark is the most difficult to be recognized, the Elders of Yeliu City deliberately revealed the news, the real purpose is to encourage Zagunade, you fight, fight hard, we will never interfere, we also hate Dismark equally. β
Both Chief Gale and Jaydis chuckled.
"The decision made by the Elders of Yeliu City is enough to affect the entire strategic deployment of Yeliu City in a year or a few years, how could they reveal such a top-secret information?" Guevara showed a sneer: "Actually, Zaguned was not fooled, the war more than two years ago was just a general attack, and Zaguned withdrew his troops before the arrival of winter." β
"I can hear something...... It's hard for you to say it clearly, do you?" Han Jin was talking to Guevara, but his gaze was fixed on the round table, as if it had frozen.
Guevara was stunned for a moment, then smiled wryly.
"Do you think it's possible for Yehliu City to launch a surprise attack on us?" Han Jin asked again.
"Yes. β
"It seems like a few people are missing, Gibran, Julia, and Kane, where are the three of them?"
"I asked them to go to the Holy Crown City to find out what was going on with Dismark. β
"I see, that's ......" Han Jin suddenly smiled, his previous smile always seemed so warm and free, which was eye-catching, but now it has completely changed, and everyone can clearly sense that thick depression and indifference.
"Because Julia is an elf?"
"This ...... Yes. Guevara smiled wryly again.
"It seems that it is not possible for Yehliu City to launch an attack on us. Han Jin was still laughing: "But it will definitely attack us, is that so?"
"Based on the signs we've found so far...... Yes. Guevara felt as if he had eaten coptis, bitter from his mouth to the bottom of his heart, he originally wanted to give Han Jin a wake-up call, and when the situation worsened, Han Jin would not get too out of control, who knew that the current Han Jin was like a different person, quickly and keenly dug out what he wanted to hide.
"It's kind of interesting...... Han Jin changed his posture to make himself sit more comfortably: "Three months ago, Seniel suddenly said that she wanted to go back to the temple for trial, and that was also a trap set by some guys?"
No one can answer this sentence, saying that it is not a trap, it is too hypocritical, saying that it is a trap, and there is a smell of not reporting it.
Han Jin stopped talking, and the others didn't speak, the atmosphere became more and more depressing, and after a long while, Jaydis broke the silence: "Lord Raphael, don't worry too much about Xenil, Xenil is a descendant of the gods after all, I don't think the elders of Yeliu City will be too reluctant to Xenil." β
"It's a different story. Han Jin smiled: "I'm very strange, from beginning to end, I have never shown a trace of hostility towards Yehliu City, because of Senil, because of Julia, and because of the dead Edvenna, hehe...... I even thought about going sightseeing to Wild Willow City and seeing for myself what Suniel called the most beautiful city in the world. β
Jaydis opened his mouth and swallowed back what he wanted to say, although he had discussed it carefully with Gale and Guevara beforehand, but unfortunately the progress of the meeting was no longer under their control.
"That Lydia, I've seen her a few times in Lonely Cliff City, and I respect her very much......" Han Jin's fingers swiped meaninglessly on the table, in fact, everything was normal with Han Jin at the moment, and his bright smile was still the same, as if he was talking to his friends: "But they have failed me to live up to my kindness, I really can't understand, why is this?"
"Because you're so much like a person. Jaydis said suddenly.
"Me?" Han Jin smiled, "Tell me, who is it like?"
"Nikolai. Jaydis spoke amazingly.
Han Jin was stunned for a moment, staring at Jaydis quietly.
"I'm not talking about your surname, I'm talking about your situation. Jaydis said slowly, "Don't forget, you're a dragon slayer, and don't forget, you have many friends now, such as the Knight Guevara, the Chief Gael, and me, and your presence is enough to pose a threat to them." They are not ordinary soldiers, they can change their armor and battle flags at will, and they can live like before, there is no room for compromise between you and them!I heard that Yeliu City is controlled by the Senate, however, among those elders, there should be one of the most powerful guys, he is the uncrowned king of the elves, and everything that happens now should also be his opinion, Lord Raphael, maybe you still can't understand it, but for us, this is normal, why should he hand over the power he holds to you?!"
"As I said earlier, I've never shown a trace of hostility towards Yehliu City!" Han Jin said softly, "I always thought that they and we could cooperate. β
"When Nikolai plunged the sword into my body, he told me that heaven is beautiful and belongs to me, the world is cruel and belongs to him, and now I find that you are more fit to live in heaven than I am. Jaydis smiled: "You don't want to hurt others, then others won't hurt you......?" What's the difference between this world and heaven?!"
Han Jin became silent for a long time before he said slowly: "It makes sense, it seems that I am too naΓ―ve." β
Jaydis, Chief Gale and the others looked at each other, it turned out that what they couldn't see through was only Han Jin's strength, because of their experience, when encountering some emergencies, Han Jin's eyebrows and eyes would always show some clues, others might not be able to see it, but they couldn't hide their observations.
Now Han Jin has completely changed, and the grief, anger, etc., that they expected did not appear at all, as if the Sheniel who fell into the trap and had unpredictable fortunes and misfortunes was a passer-by and had nothing to do with him.
Governor Gail was silent, this result was far beyond his expectations! Leave a foreshadowing today, and when the army of Yeliu City really came, he would put things back in the picture, he thought that Han Jin would not care about this kind of reminder, and then use some small means to make Han Jin's army suffer some damage, then Han Jin, who was guilty, would inevitably be angry and turn into an endless situation with Yeliu City, and at that time, even if Han Jin and Shaniel's relationship was deep, it could only end miserably! In the face of the life and death of the entire race, personal feelings are as light as a feather!
The current situation is not good, Han Jin not only paid attention to their reminders, but also found out what they had been trying to hide, General Manager Gail was a little anxious, although he had been designing Han Jin, but he could still distinguish the priority and priority, winter was coming, it was definitely not suitable to start a war at this time, and the underground was as warm as spring, Zaguned had been hit hard repeatedly, it was the best time to completely solve the trouble. If Han Jin brazenly decides to attack Yeliu City because of Senil's relationship, and puts aside the victory or defeat first, even if he can defeat it, the recuperated Dismark and the recovered Zagunid will definitely become Han Jin's nightmare.
It is true that the head of Gale has used methods against Han Jin, but this does not mean that he wants Han Jin to be defeated by anyone, his goal is to make this young lord and the elemental capital step by step towards twilight twist together, as long as Arina can become Han Jin's wife, as long as the future heir is Han Jin and Yalina's child, it doesn't matter who gets on whose chariot.
"Raphael, you don't want to take the God of War to Wild Willow City, do you?" Guevara asked in a deep voice, he also sensed Han Jin's strangeness.
"I have to eat the food one bite at a time, and I am not so impulsive yet. Han Jin smiled and said, "Moreover, Yeliu City is still silent now, forget it...... Our goal now is Zaguned, so be it...... It's kind of giving me and giving them one last chance. β
"Yesterday, when I sent Gibran and Julia, I told Gibran a few words, and he will not understand now, until Wild Willow City really starts a war...... Naturally, you understand. Jaydis changed the subject and sighed, "I can see that he likes Julia very much, it's hard...... At that point, he will have to make his own choice. β
"Lord Jadis, I don't like you very much, if you have anything to say, you can tell me directly. Han Jin smiled: "You want to say, let me make my own choice, right?"
Jaydis coughed dryly to hide his embarrassment.
"Don't worry. Han Jin said softly, his gaze swept over the people attending the meeting one by one, and even the people at the bottom of the line, such as Qi Fank and Celeste, clearly sensed Han Jin's gaze: "I'm not alone, and I won't let you down or hurt you for a Shaniel, I'm ...... Know what I should do. β
"Raphael!" Moshinko couldn't bear it anymore and jumped up: "Don't think about it, there must be some misunderstanding......!" Let me go to Yeliu City, go and talk to their elders, it's a big deal to say good things and beg them, they ......" Speaking of this, Moxinke said that he couldn't go, because even he didn't believe it, let alone how could he be qualified to meet the elders of Yeliu City?
"You......" Han Jin's smile became brighter: "There are some things that cannot be asked, it is better to believe in your own fists than to believe that the enemy will be merciful." β
After speaking, Han Jin's gaze fell on Guevara again: "Now that you have mastered the movements of Yeliu City, you should be ready, right?"
Guevara nodded: "As long as we can solve Zagunid within two months, we can completely take the initiative." Elves are more afraid of the cold than ordinary humans, if there are no accidents...... They can't do anything in a short period of time. β
"The problem is that there are always all sorts of surprises in war. "The Tree of Life in Wildwillow City has become extraordinarily luxuriant, as if it were unaffected by the seasons, and I feel that something should happen there." β
"Didn't find out what happened?" Guevara asked, frowning.
Chief Gale shook his head, the people who lived in the inner city of Yeliu City were all elves, and spies couldn't penetrate them at all.
"In that case, go according to your plan. Han Jin stood up slowly, and he had always delegated authority in terms of commanding operations: "I'm a little tired, so I'll go back and rest first." β
