Well, a new week, and the end of the month, is coming, and I'm still so wasted...... I didn't finish it again. (To read the latest chapters of this book, please visit the biquge.info of the wèn Aishang Novel Network)***

Apologize and roll around

Anyway, let's routinely ask for votes......

――

"Those damn Tuminis monsters!, they really slaughtered the city!" a big man slammed the wine glass in his hand on the table, and roared indistinctly, the muscles on his face twitched, and a large trace of fire writhed, looking extremely terrifying: "The people in the city originally thought that those guys were just scaring them, and as long as they surrendered, at least they could save the lives of the women and children...... But they were so naïve!"

The Sword of Cullen is a complex of old taverns and inns in the city of Illyria, which has been around for at least fifty years, and thanks to the signature tequila and the shrewd mind of the owner, its lobby has been expanded three times, and it has two rather imposing areas, so in their spare time, whether it is a merchant or a person who eats by hand, he likes to come here for a pastime, and even some small nobles like the mixed but not noisy atmosphere here, and occasionally come here to pass the time.

But lately, in two days, business has been particularly good here, and many fellows who are not regular customers have come back to sit here, mainly because of the guy who is talking......

The fire spread quickly throughout the city, and the soldiers themselves withdrew from the city in a safe and timely manner, ignoring the old men and women. Pity the thousands of old people and women, desperately struggling and screaming in front of the overwhelming fires, trampling each other...... Not a single person escaped the fire.

The guy picked up his glass and took a big sip of absinthe. It's as if there is no way to narrate it without that.

"The fire has been burning for four days. You don't see that at night, the churning flames rise three or four hundred feet high, burning the whole sky as if it were day! Eventually, a huge pillar of smoke rose up from the city. The sky for a hundred or two hundred miles is like night......"

"God of War is on ......"

"I want to make the whole empire cry wolf! I want to make the whole empire a hell! I want to make all the people of the empire, young and old, poor and rich, feel the pain that will never be forgotten! My legion will take responsibility for destroying the empire, and if people think I am cruel and cruel, I will tell them that war is war, and its purpose is not to win the favor of the people! War is hell! If you want to stop this. If you want peace, all the Empires should lay down their arms and stop this war!"

Emptying the glass of liquor in one gulp, the big man said vaguely—it sounded like some kind of notice or declaration.

"Many of the classic battles that ushered in a new era were driven by breakthrough tactics that led to miraculous victories. If you can see where and how the next war will take place, you will have the key to victory. "The future lurks in a thick fog, and the more clearly people can see the truth in the fog, the better they will be able to judge how to act right. ”

"Isn't it a prophet to see the war of the future?" someone muttered.

"That guy isn't human at all. Maybe it's a demon that climbed up from some of the abyssal planes...... He wants to use the blood sacrifice of those people's souls to summon more of his kind?" was another answer that was a little too imaginative, but Edward, who was quietly chewing fish, raised an eyebrow.

Soul sacrifice? In this world, this is really not an unreliable idea.

We must clear and destroy a qiē obstacle. Kill everyone as long as we think it's necessary. Take every inch of land and confiscate every property. (_One sentence ruthlessly destroys a qiē thing we see...... The blow to ordinary people must be as thorough as the blow to the armed forces.

This must be a spy

As a holy warrior. As long as there is a moral standard deep down, it is enough to follow it...... But war is another matter, in the face of war, the concept of right and wrong is simply nonsense, and moral standards vary from person to person, you don't have to blame yourself for war, we can't stop it, we have to put our heart into winning it! Otherwise, ...... The loser is always the wrong side, and only the winner can correct right and wrong and standardize moral standards after the fact.

War really happens because both sides are righteous...... It's just that sometimes, the right perspective is not needed.

stimulated their greatest enthusiasm, and they secretly spat and cursed those noble lords behind their backs,

"Those noble lords naturally can't lose their lives, they have been teleported to a safe place before the city is broken, even if they can't escape, it doesn't matter, as long as they pout their butts and lie on the ground, shouting that I am a nobleman, at least they can leave a life, and afterwards our king has to take out the treasures in the treasury and redeem them. ”

"God of War is above...... No matter how rich the king is, it is impossible to redeem so many miscellaneous people, right?"

"What's the solution, it's not a tax hike in the end?"

"What do they do with all the taxes we pay every year?"

"Hey, you hillbilly don't even know this......? Do you know how much it costs for a banquet of the big people? They have to pick the thinnest and most tender branch of the mountain vegetables they eat! The millet used to cook porridge is not browned, and they don't want it!"

For the country!

A paladin with a gloomy face......

"If you had to sacrifice an innocent person for the benefit of a hundred people, would you do it?" asked Edward.

"If it is for the happiness of a hundred people, I can sacrifice myself. Elena did not hesitate: "But for the others, I have no right to decide." We are not gods and cannot interfere in the lives of others. ”

There's nothing famous here, but it's not hard for Edward to find something delicious – the restaurant is known for serving up some fresh fish. So Edward, after tipping a few gold coins, was able to find a few good ones in their inventory. Cook your own meals.

As the capital of the empire, Illyria is still strong in logistics, but for Edward, in terms of ingredients. There are still some deficiencies, so the production zuò is somewhat stretched...... Well, even so, a steamed, a braised sauce, a milk soup, and very different flavors are enough to make most of the guys in this world. Salivating.

Edward turned his gaze slightly, and looked at the two uninvited guests in front of him, a thin old man in good spirits, and his clothes were a little shabby. But it was neatly organized, a little close to the memory of the college professor who flipped through the textbooks in class. As for the other, he is much more arrogant, although his appearance is mediocre. Dressed in a dress that is not common in the Empire, but the muscles that are full of muscles make him fit two or three of the former.

"To meet is to be fate. You're welcome. ”

The heritage of an aristocratic family is something that cannot be measured, and it is not something that can be obtained by spending thousands of dollars with a lot of money, only the tempering of time. Only then can it exude that warm glow - that kind of temperament that can be breezy and calm, in fact, is much more important than the rolling gold. Don't be surprised. Moody, gentle bearing, or not every nobleman can have.

But fortunately, the tall and muscular guard was just standing behind him,

After eating a few pieces of delicious fish, the old man finally broke his silence, "Hospitable young man, don't you wonder who I am?"

Edward smiled, "I'm curious, but I'm not sure if I'm willing to give you the answer if I ask." ”

The old man rolled his eyes,

The fish were spiny, so most of the Empire rarely handled them whole, mostly chopped and boiled, but for Edward, this was not a problem - two wooden chopsticks flipped slightly in his hand, and the small fish bones were picked out, and the delicate flesh was divided into the bowls of the two girls.

"In a war, one or two stratagems can sometimes be used to win the game, but there are not many cases where stratagem alone wins. Most of the time it's a contest of strength. Once the difference in strength exceeds the limit, then there is no war to speak of. The old man said: "For example, siege warfare, I don't like siege warfare, but this is an inevitable part of war......

"Not necessarily. The other party's inadvertent leakage of a little information made Edward pull the corners of his mouth, but he didn't care very much: "Go to the army to fight, and then fight the enemy." Attack again, and besiege the city below. ”

"What?" the old man froze.

"In war, the use of strategy is very complicated...... Politics, economy, culture, and diplomacy cannot be ignored, and the best way is to settle the dispute in advance without waiting for the contradictions between the opposing sides to intensify......" After a pause, Edward expanded a little and explained in detail: "Almost, when the contradiction has already appeared, it is not bad to mobilize the forces of the country and the countries concerned, show determination, create an overwhelming advantage or balance of forces, supplemented by knowing the interests and disadvantages, and achieve the strategic goal without resorting to force after compromises and compromises." In short, the smartest way to fight without using soldiers is to be able to fight. ”

Obviously, the scripted reading in this memory is still very general, but it is also surprising enough...... The old man's combing of the fish slowed down, and his eyes flickered, but he did not interrupt him.

"As for the necessity of using military force as a last resort, it is better to break down the capital held by the other side in the most expeditious way possible, so as to minimize the damage of war. And unless, when the above three efforts are ineffective, it is necessary to attack the territory of the other side as a last resort. If you can directly turn the other party into your own vassal state without using a single soldier, then why spend precious national strength to conquer them one by one?"

Edward did not hesitate to speak out, and did not expect the other party to understand much: "Of course, this is not very easy, the end of a complete surrender without a fight, even if the side is in an advantageous and active position, it is not easy to achieve, but when it comes to trickery...... Hehe, find a way to enlarge the belly of the Empress of the Empire, and then ensure that this child becomes the heir, then isn't it just to take the empire into your hands without spending a single soldier?"

"Interesting idea. However, your little friend doesn't seem to agree. ”

Beasts, demons, demons, beasts, they used all the words they could curse and slander to describe the guy who had never been alive...... Edward's gaze swept over their faces flushed with ale and excitement, and he chuckled.

"It's not ridiculous. ”

"It's cruel. Really?" said Edward.

"Isn't it? deprived of a hundred thousand innocent lives who were defenseless, even if half of them, nay, a fraction. It is already an unforgivable sin, such a person does not even have the need to be redeemed......" The paladin lowered his gaze, bit his lip, clasped his hands, and whispered: "May the Father purify his ominous soul." ”

“...... I'm just a little funny, these guys are expecting Isgandar" Edward shook his head: "If you look at history, Isgundar leveled the continent back then. Could it be that it was the Great Patriotic War? How many souls of the army were killed in multiples of 100,000? Relying on the name of one murderer against another murderer? This has to be said to be a great irony. ”

Of course, he couldn't have been unaware of the mage's eye of surveillance, in fact. If it takes a lot of effort, he can also turn enemies into friends with the other party, and finally even reveal the story of his first love and the big secret like his real name, depending on whether the psychic is willing or not.

While everyone will label what they say as 'secret', there are no impermeable walls in this world, and for a population like Illyria. But there is no shortage of idlers in the metropolis, the topic of after-dinner pastime is the fastest thing to deliver...... In just two days, the dispute that had occurred in the inn had spread among the aristocratic circles, and then among the common people.

In this world. It's not uncommon for one person to deal with a few or even a dozen people, but there are dozens of knights of the city guard. With a heavy crossbow and three mages, a mid-level knight. But he lost at the hands of a mage of unknown origin, and that person was still extremely young, such a thing is undoubtedly enough for most people to speculate.

What's more, there is also a Tiberius mixed in, the noble adventurer who has been in the limelight in the imperial capital recently, and can freely enter and leave the court. This man must have come from an extraordinary background—oh, Lord Tiberius is no longer a simple adventurer, and the fact that he was canonized by the Emperor as the head of a new knightly order is actually a bigger thing, but. He was already a man of the hour himself, even if he had a few more layers of aura, it was only a little more dazzling and extraordinary, and it was not as sensational as the young man who came out of nowhere.

That little bear is a complete negative representative, with the power in his hands, he is not in a hurry to think about anything else, as long as he practices well and controls this power, sooner or later he can pull up a force of his own in the local area, and become a storage that the empire cannot ignore, and he can defend one side without pressure.

"What about elves? they're the kindest, noblest, and most peaceful creatures of legend, aren't they......? Except, of course, the birds of the sky, the oracles with hearts as white as their wings. "But how many people didn't die by their swords in the Bauhinia War? It wasn't a simple death, wasn't the famous hero Philip Catalehe, the brave man of the Blood Moon who saved the castle of Afra, stripped of his skin alive by the elves......?

"Less...... You hillbilly knows a piece of, and you only listen to the bard's nonsense...... What kind of hero, Philip's nickname is the Butcher of the Blood Moon! If the things he did on the battlefield were changed to peacetime, it would be enough for him to die more than 10,000 times! At least one-third of the half-elves on the continent were planted by his subordinates in those two years! I heard that in the elven villages he slaughtered, not even dogs could escape their lives...... It was light to skin him, and if it was the Emperor's Majesty who was to judge, he should at least be thrown to the thorn wheel and crushed alive! At that time, the commander was too lacking, and the elves' attacks were too tight, otherwise this kind of goods would have been executed a long time ago, and in the end, he also brought a legion to his funeral...... You don't have to stare at me, it's been more than a hundred years ago, do you think that His Majesty the Emperor can still come here and hang me on the gallows because of this kind of thing?"

"How do you know?"

"There is a blind sage......

"Those guys love the most, and they're about to become enemies of the kingdom, so you can believe their nonsense?"

To be continued ......)
