The negotiation was unilaterally proposed by the princess, and now the time and place are all set, and they are unilaterally rejected, and the reasons for the rejection are domineering, and there is a feeling of "you also cooperate with me to talk?". Such an act of tease, which bordered on teasing, would undoubtedly provoke a violent backlash, which was strongly protested not only by the rebels, but also condemned by the Empire as an intermediate referee.

That night, the rebels sent in again, but this time they did not smash the princess's main city again. The princess's main city has already undergone a fairly strong deployment, and there are countless hidden magic arrays and tunnels in the city, with a large population and strong faith. Even if you attack, you will inevitably have a lot of damage. This time, they chose other government forces around the main city.

Kevin didn't even know the news in the first place, the crow and the parrot had a limited flight range, and both took turns patrolling the vicinity, and the battle in the distance was really powerless. It wasn't until noon the next day that Kevin got the news from the ambassador that he heard that a small town of government forces north of Princess had been captured last night, and that the government forces had only held out for two hours before surrendering en masse.

Kevin was shocked and took out the map and began to study, but the more he studied, the more worried he felt about the future.

Under the control of the Empire, the rebels can easily take the other main cities of the government army, even if some of the generals in the government army are particularly tough, but the disparity in strength makes it difficult for them to fight back. And the maintenance of the chariot depends on the Imperials after all, after a winter, the government army's chariots have more and more problems, and they are in a state of being able to lie down at any time, even if the Imperials do not personally take action, the government army cannot defeat the rebels.

Once the rebel city surrounds the princess's city, then the princess's side is completely blocked. Vegetable cultivation and poultry farming, which are just in their infancy, cannot feed so many people, and some things must be imported, such as salt. Once it is blocked, no amount of money can buy anything, and it is in vain to let the city be fortified.

From a military point of view, if the princess wants to break the situation, she can only take the initiative. However, there are also a large number of unmaintained chariots between the princesses, and with only a few captured chariots, the chances of taking the initiative to attack are very low. In the past, it was Kevin's crows and parrots monitoring the battlefield in all directions, but now that the opponent's sword master is here, where can he dare to be so blatant, if someone is stoned to death casually, it is really worth the loss.

At the same time, the other party is no longer limited to the princess city, and has begun to adopt global encirclement. From a tactical point of view, the opponent has become stronger, and due to the greatly expanded range, it is difficult for the crow parrot to take care of the overall situation, and the information that Kevin knows will be greatly reduced. But it has little impact on the empire, after all, they have many people and many means.

However, from a military point of view, it is impossible to fight, and it is psychologically prepared from the beginning, and if you want to still win, you can only start from other aspects, such as people's hearts, such as politics.

There are ready-made cases in history, and the people of Lou Baole are basically very familiar with them, but the question is whether history can be repeated, or how to go further, how to reproduce it at the smallest possible cost and in the shortest possible time?

In this regard, after a short meeting on Kevin's side, he could only come up with two plans for the princess to choose. One of them: a thousand-mile transfer, in order to abandon the main city that has developed well, take all the people who are willing to follow, and move to the core of the territory controlled by the government army, that is, their capital.

It was the kobold king's place, and the princess brought so many people directly over that the king might not welcome it, and might even think that you were going to usurp the throne. At the same time, even if the main cities along the way are also government troops, they are not necessarily willing to open the door, after all, they are all secretly controlled by the empire. If you take the wild mountain road, then the battle will be extremely fierce.

The advantage is that it directly avoids the tactical encirclement of the opponent. Secondly, if she can really go back, then the princess's status will be similar to that of the king, and it will be easier to implement reforms and so on. Originally with veterans all the way, you can scatter some of the surrounding main cities, starting from the lowest kobolds, wooing them and reshaping them. Even the rebels can infiltrate, they can dress up as the people of the Church of Light, and they can also start from the bottom, give them reason, give them money, and make them understand that fighting is pointless......

Second: stay put, continue to dig deep fortifications, and accumulate food. At the same time, they infiltrated the rebels with all their might, sending kobolds pretending to be light believers. The kobolds here have been studying the god's religion for a long time, and it is actually easy to turn to pretend to be the Illuminati, and the rebels probably don't dare to do it directly in the face of a group of believers who have made a statement. Once they are really allowed to go into the city to preach, then they can go crazy with private goods while preaching.

Use public opinion to disintegrate the fighting spirit of the other party's bottom, so that their beliefs are no longer firm, and even directly surrender. Of course, this is also risky, the rebels are really urgent, and the kobold light believers must also be killed.

The two plans are brought directly to the princess, and Kevin states the stakes and cites history, but ultimately chooses to leave it to herself. Kevin didn't do this to shirk responsibility, and if something happened, he said, "It's all up to you", but he really didn't have the ability to come up with a better one.

The princess hesitated for a moment, then chose the second one, which was to develop in place.

Kevin advises one more sentence for this: "Don't blindly choose just because the second one seems to have preserved your development results." Once the opponent's tactical encirclement is successful, then your main city will enter the countdown, and if the mouth cannon believers sent out at this time fail to counter the enemy, you will basically have no power to return to the sky, and can only wait for death. Sometimes you give up to get more. ”

The princess thought for a moment, then changed her words: "Then I will choose the first one." ”

Kevin still advised: "There are more than 10,000 people in your city, most of the chariots are lying on their stomachs, and many people can only walk. To be honest, I didn't think about it, but there was this one in history, so I listed him as one of the options. ”

Princess: "......"

The princess didn't think about it anymore and decided to choose the first one. There are no more reasons to say, and any reason can be refuted, but the road still has to be forward. It's like a chess player who can't make a move, it seems that he can play any way, and he doesn't seem to be able to play anything, but he still has to play after all.

The plan was decided, and the plan began to be implemented immediately, and the first group of Bright Mouth Cannon believers were sent out that night, in groups of three, to the surrounding main cities to preach. Of course, these believers do not claim to have come from the princess's side, and they all say that they have been affected by the war and fled in all directions. This excuse is barely feasible, and the rebels are also short of manpower, and some even directly capture the strong men.

Two days later, the rebel forces began to change, all the way to the south, and it seemed to continue to march in the direction of the siege of the princess's main city, all the way to the north. Looking at its direction, it seems to take the capital of the government army.

By the time Kevin got the news, it had been another day, and the problem had become very serious. The other party obviously not only has the tactics of besieging the princess, but also has the intention of directly capturing the capital at the same time. Although if the capital is indeed captured, then the government army will be defeated, and the arms sales on both sides of the empire will not be able to continue, generally they should not use this strategy.

Secondly, even if they do not attack the capital, just approaching the capital will cause great pressure on the government army, and in order to keep the throne, the kobold king must find a way to negotiate peace, so the princess will be in a very awkward position at this time......

Such a series of chain speculations made Kevin feel that he had made a strategic mistake for a moment. The pieces that were forcibly dropped, and finally after two moves, began to regret it.

However, this is not the only case, in order to prevent Kevin from having too much energy to do things, Bradley also specially gathered all the observation groups and held the observation group competition.

Although the competition is a form of fighting, it uses wooden swords and swords, and it is stipulated that there will be battles between the same ranks, and there will be no high-level bullying of low-level players. There is no entry fee, everyone can participate, and the winners win glory for the country and can also get prize money. If there is a feud between certain countries, they can even take the opportunity to go it alone in order to vent their hatred.

As soon as the contest was proposed, almost everyone participated, and there were no even objections. You must know that the mission of the military observation group is to observe, and to observe the kobold is to observe, and to observe the battles of other countries is to observe; compared with the tactics of the kobolds, the battles of other countries do not know where to go, so how can they give up? Not to mention that most of the observers are arrogant, and since they are fighting at the same level, no one needs to be afraid of anyone? Wooden swords and wooden swords, and the Imperial Sword Saint as the referee, theoretically there is not the slightest danger.

The only thing that's not quite right is that the game might miss some kobolds. But the observer group members themselves don't want to run east and west with the army, they just need to know the results of the battle the next day, but a matter of one sentence has no effect on the game. It's only crazy people like Kevin who will be delayed.

Seeing that almost everyone participated in the competition, only the dark elves could not register because they were not in the main city and were wandering around alone. With so many people under Kevin, it was obviously not appropriate to excuse himself from being sick, so he had no choice but to send the task to Sain and others, and Kevin himself still gave up the game on the grounds of illness.

There are also many pastors here, who heard that Kevin is still ill, and immediately went to the treatment again. It's not a case unique to Lou Pauler, right?

As a result, it was discovered that Kevin's illness was real. Necrosis of one tooth, causing swollen gums and then swollen lips......

The crowd blamed why not a pastor if he was sick?

Kevin just replied, "I thought it was a minor problem, just sleep for a few days." But in fact, he also took advantage of some small faults to shirk some things. It's just that I didn't expect this problem to be small.

The priest immediately sprinkled salt into the holy water, and used a light spell to infiltrate the holy water from the back of Kevin's hand into his veins...... Hopefully it will get better.
