Chapter 122:-for-tat
Claire is not Fred, and he is naturally clear about the sarcasm in the other party's words.
It's just that he doesn't understand that Baron Les, who was very enthusiastic when he saw him before, has changed his attitude so much today, is the other party afraid that he will make things difficult for him?
His job is to assist Fred, and even if he takes the blame, it won't be his turn.
Claire, who didn't figure it out, decided to treat the other party's aunt as if she came, and she wouldn't get used to the other party, so she immediately went back.
Baron Les said with a smile, the rear territory is being attacked, not only am I worried, but Baron Moore is also worried, every baron whose territory is nearby is worried, Baron Morfels is so easy because the territory is relatively safe?
If this is the case, then I can only envy the good fortune of His Excellency the Baron. However, with such schadenfreude, the other barons may not be comfortable when they know about it. ”
Just kidding, Claire has offended a lot of barons, and Les's strength is not yet ranked, so it's not a big deal to offend him more.
"You—" Baron Les changed his face instantly, staring gloomily at Claire, as if he was going to eat Claire.
"How can I gloat, don't spread rumors." Baron Les gritted his teeth and paused. "I sympathize with your Excellency's hard work, your Excellency has braved the wind and snow to come from the Ferrol Valley, and it will not be good if you are tired. As for the enemy forces, we have our own countermeasures! ”
Hearing this, Claire squinted her eyes and laughed.
I see, this Baron Les for his own reason is that he wants to be alone and get in the way of others.
However, if you want to command the army, don't you also see if you have the ability yourself, if you are really capable, Moll will leave you in Montseron City?
Claire, the deputy of the Baron of Les, knew very well that the reason why he was able to be named a baron was completely due to the blessing of the family, and he didn't have much real material, at least he hadn't heard of him in Trois-Rivières City.
And Moore's previous arrangement also proves this, this is just a noble child who lives on the family merit book. It's his brother, who is quite prestigious, and has a small reputation in Trois-Rivières, but this doesn't affect Claire from giving him face.
"Countermeasures?" Claire scoffed. "So long? Did Baron Les send a soldier to engage the enemy? Well, even if you don't fight the enemy, at least you should find out the enemy's strength, why don't you introduce it to you, so that I, who don't know the situation, can understand something. ”
Claire's words made Baron Les suddenly not know how to answer, and he was speechless for a long time.
At this time, Bert coughed lightly and gestured to Fred with his eyes, but Fred was not really stupid, and hurriedly came out to play the round.
Claire was no longer entangled, and she also diverted the topic.
After casually chatting about the war on the front line, everyone got to the point.
Claire told him about the part of the army he had brought back from the front line, and said that he would leave the invading enemy forces to him to solve.
Claire's proposal, everyone present had no objections, and Baron Les, the only possible object, was so scared that Claire didn't dare to speak, even if he was dissatisfied, he could only endure it and scold Claire in his heart.
However, how could this innocuous scolding affect Claire.
The world is so cruel, and people who are incapable can only be bullied.
At this time, Bert also shared information that the Mitchelsons' army stopped attacking after capturing several more territories around Vita Territory.
On this point, Bert speculated that the other side might be under logistical pressure. However, Claire was moved and had some different opinions.
It's just that his opinion sounded a bit fanciful, so he didn't tell everyone.
Overall, the Mitchelsons' army did not take the opportunity to exaggerate the results, which was a good thing for the Overwatch Alliance. If the other side takes advantage of the emptiness of the Overwatch Alliance's defense to drive straight in and occupy a large area of territory, the situation of this war will risk the Overwatch Alliance's side collapsing.
The rear is unstable, double-sided, thinking about the possible situation, Claire is afraid for a while.
Fortunately, the Mitchelsons' army didn't seem to mean to kill them directly.
The news about this army also came from Bert, which made Claire and others clear how this partial division in Walter's hands came from.
This is not that Bert's ability to find out the news is excellent, in fact, even if many scouts are dispatched, it is not so easy to find out about the origin and commander of the opponent's army, as long as the other party has the intention to conceal it.
It's just that these messages are what the other party wants Claire to know, so naturally there is no need to hide them, and even a lot of information is deliberately released by the other party, in order to let Claire's side not make strategic miscalculations and make easy moves.
Mitchelson's Baron Eden is an expert in people's hearts, and he knows very well that it is better to settle the dispute, and now the Mitchelson family's approach is barely acceptable to Trois-Rivières, after all, it has not caused Tri-Rivers to suffer huge losses.
If they really kill one or two of the main forces of Trois-Rivières and make a feud with Tri-Rivers City, it will not be so easy for the Mitchelsons to withdraw from this war.
Claire thinks the same way about this.
"As far as I know, this Mitchelson family is also the number one in the Barons family of the kingdom, and they also have a lot of ambitions, no matter how you look at it, it is impossible to willingly invest in Erdo Castle, it is estimated that the Count of Marcus promised some benefits to the other party.
So, I want to try to get in touch with the other side first to see if there is any way to get the other side to withdraw their troops voluntarily. It would be great if it could be solved just by spending some money. ”
After Claire learned that the other party was the army of the Mitchelson family, she also lost her strong fighting spirit. The strength of the Mitchelson family, strictly speaking, is stronger than some counts, although it is not necessarily as strong as Three Rivers City, but it should not be underestimated.
Now that Trois-Rivières has been at war with Erdo Castle, there is no reason to find another strong enemy for Trois-Rivières to make it less likely that they will win the war. One more friend is always better than one more enemy.
Of course, Claire could have contacted Baron Eden, the commander of the Mitchelson family, in private, but in order to avoid suspicion and let people gossip, Claire still made her thoughts public first.
"Could it be that Baron Claire was scared when he heard that the opponent was the Mitchelson family and did not dare to fight? It's okay, you don't dare to hit me. Everyone else has hit our territory, and we have to send people to negotiate with the other party, doesn't it seem that our Three Rivers City is weak and can be bullied? ”
Baron Les had been silent for a long time, and now when he heard Claire's words, as if he had heard something terrible, his eyes lit up, and he immediately got up to refute Claire and shouted loudly.
