Chapter 40: Strategy

More than 100 miles east of the town of Wiesen, the forest is full of towering trees and thorny curly vines, and it is inaccessible. Not to mention the lumberjacks, even the hunters of the town rarely come here.

However, as the sun set, several fast black shadows appeared in this inaccessible place. It swept across the snow like a few geese, leaving only a trail of footprints, which were soon covered by the snow.

After crossing a low bush and making sure that no one was following them, the dark shadows dressed as several samurai scavenged under a rock. A cold wind blew through the snowflakes, masking all traces of the smell and footprints.

Behind the rock, there is a huge natural cave with many sharp stalactites hanging upside down. The ground was cold and covered with a thick layer of ice.

"Your Highness, Theron is fortunate to have obtained the latest map of the Bantu people's forces and patrol routes!" After stepping into a dark green tent, the leading warrior knelt down to the young man leaning on the big chair, took out a thin animal skin from his bosom, and handed it to the sword-wielding guard.

"Theron, if I'm not mistaken, you're still a baron now, right?" Taking the thin animal skin, looking at the ink that had not yet dried on it, the young man leaning on the big chair paused, and then said lightly: "I heard that there is still an uncultivated mountain land in the Lua Valley, you have worked hard for so many years, and it is time to have a territory!"

Territory?

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your great grace!" After understanding what the young man meant, the warrior named Theron was overjoyed and excited.

According to the custom of the Tyranid continent, the baron was in name only, had no fief, and the title could not be inherited to his descendants. Only after being made a viscount can you have territorial and hereditary privileges and truly step into the circle of nobility.

Despite its location at the southernmost tip of the Empire, Theron was thrilled. One step from a baron to a word jue is something that ordinary people dare not think of.

"Theron, this is the reward you deserve!" Seeing that Theron was excited, the young man in gorgeous clothes smiled faintly, looked at the rest of the envious warriors, and said slowly: "This time we secretly came to Wesson Town, and we have a difficult task. But if it's done, everyone will be rewarded!"

"Your Highness Xie promotes!" Seeing that Theron would ascend to the sky in one step and become a true nobleman when he returned, the rest of the samurai were both excited and full of hope. It is rumored that His Royal Highness has always acted generously, and it seems that it is true.

"By the way, Theron, how are you talking about food and armor?"

"Your Highness, this..." Theron hesitated a little, hesitated for a moment and then gritted his teeth and said, "Your Highness, the other party is too shameless. A cart of barley opens five hundred amethyst coins, and even a long arrow costs ten amethyst coins, which is almost ten times more expensive than usual, so"

Looking at His Highness, who was moody, Theron was sweating profusely. I have just received an unexpected reward, and if His Highness is furious because the food and armor are not negotiated, maybe not only will this unexpected reward not be resolved, but he will also be severely punished. After all, in the vast land of Rus', His Highness was as famous for his harshness as he was for his generosity.

Legend has it that His Highness once brought a personal guard to visit a minister, and before he went, he asked the guard to change into a formal dress. As a result, the guards were dissatisfied with the fact that the third button of his shirt had not been wiped clean because of the rush of time. For this reason, the hapless guards were transferred to the army to wash the clothes of the soldiers for a whole year!

"Oh, does the other party only need crystal coins?" Seeing that Theron was sweating profusely with nervousness, *he remained silent, after many years by his father's side, what he learned the most was the skill of controlling his subordinates.

Tens of thousands, or even dozens of amethyst coins, may be an astronomical amount of money for ordinary people, but for the Rus' Empire, which has a vast territory and many people, it is a drop in the bucket. At the critical moment, * didn't care about paying a few more crystal coins, what he was worried about was what purpose Yang Ling was hiding behind the help.

Like Stoff, after leading a large number of guards to the remote town of Weisen, he became interested in Yang Ling, who was in a position to dominate. Although it took countless efforts, the result was in vain, and no clues related to Yang Ling's life experience could be found.

After the scuffle, seeing that he was not Stoff's opponent, he simply led his subordinates to hide in the Truss Forest. Stretching for thousands of miles, the Truss Forest is the largest primeval forest on the continent, full of demonic beasts and towering trees. Not to mention that there are only 3,000 people, I am afraid that there are 300,000 troops, and it is difficult to find their traces in the vast forest sea for a while.

Sure enough, after hiding in the Truss Forest, * quickly seized the initiative and sneaked out from time to time to attack the cruising Bantu, inflicting heavy casualties on Stouff. In a hurry, although he only brought more than 500 people, all of them were elites with one block of ten. Down-to-one, Stouff's Black Armor was no match at all.

Although he turned from light to dark and grasped the initiative, as the weather became colder and colder, he encountered more and more troubles. There was no stockpile, no weapons and bows to replenish consumption, and there were not enough priests and medicines. Even, the samurai did not even have winter clothes to protect them from the cold, and the non-combat casualties were increasing.

Just when he was at a loss, Yang Ling's advisor came uninvited. Taking a great risk to sell all kinds of supplies and even intelligence, he was overjoyed, and the two sides hit it off.

"Your Highness, we secretly infiltrated the town of Weisen this time, and we didn't see Lord Yang. After waiting for a long time, seeing that His Highness was not angry, Theron breathed a sigh of relief, "But according to his advisor Good, Lord Yang wants to meet with His Highness in person!"

"Oh, meet me in person?"

* Silently, silently glancing at the strategist behind him. The latter understood what he meant, and wanted to say something, but looked at the few samurai kneeling on the ground, and closed his mouth tightly.

"Well, you've all worked hard, go down and rest!"

"Your Highness!" After saluting, Theron and his party quickly retreated. When he stepped out of the ornate tent, Theron realized that he was already sweating profusely.

After listening carefully and confirming that Theron and the others had gone away, the strategist hiding in the darkness said softly: "Your Highness, even if the other party doesn't mention it, your subordinates think that you should meet Yang Ling in person!"

"Is this necessary?"* shook his head slightly. Yang Ling has a mysterious and powerful army of demonic beasts, with a large number of loyal followers and crystal coins that seem to be squandered at will. Coupled with a mysterious background, such a character can never be encircled with a few boxes of crystal coins or a few beauties.

"Your Highness, everyone will have his hopes and shortcomings!" Seeing * shaking his head, the strategist hiding in the shadows understood what he meant, "Help us, Yang Ling He is taking a great risk, and if he is not careful, his family may be ruined." What did he do this for?"

After a pause, seeing * staring at him tightly, the strategist then whispered, "According to Yang Ling's strategist, it was because Stoffe stole their tavern and brewery. However, this is only the superficial reason, the deeper reason is that Stoff, the lord who suddenly appeared, took away the development space and core interests of the other party here!"

What is the room for development and core interests?

After pondering for a moment, *Understand nodded slightly, understanding that the strategist was right, "Matt Damon, how can we tie this local force to our chariot and disrupt the strategy of the Bantu Empire?"

"Your Highness, it's actually very simple, there is a way that can not only meet Yang Ling's requirements, but also greatly benefit our empire!" Matt Dimon, who was hiding in the shadows, paused and said softly: "I think Your Majesty will definitely be happy to have an enclave in the rear of the Bantu Empire!"

Enclave?

After the accident, *rejoicing. If Yang Ling is appointed as the lord of Weisen, it will not only satisfy his ambitions and requirements, but also bring infinite benefits to the empire, which is of more far-reaching significance than the strategy of directly destroying the Bantu Empire. Of course, after the deed is completed, his position in his father's heart will be more solid, and he will have the upper hand in the battle for the throne.
