"In that case, I'll briefly analyze it. Yun Hai cleared his throat and said: "Now our strength is still very weak, we must work hard to accumulate strength, only when our strength is strong, we can defeat the evil empire ruled by Trist, otherwise what will restore the Rucas Kingdom, these are just fools' dreams." ”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"But the growth of strength means that we will get Trist's attention faster and faster, not only will Princess Katerina's personal safety be threatened, but also, after Trist knows about Akali's return to Europe, he will definitely destroy us at all costs, and when the time comes, if our strength is not strong enough, I am afraid that we will soon fail. ”

"So what should we do?" asked Elena. "According to the analysis of the cloud, it seems that our development or non-development is a dead end. ”

"No, not necessarily. Akali seemed to understand. "Yunhai, you mean, we have to rescue Caterina before we can get Trist's attention, and we have a strong stronghold before that, right?"

"That's right, that's what it means. Yunhai nodded happily. "Miss Elena, how many men do you have?"

"If you count me, it's exactly three hundred and thirteen. Elena looked a little distressed.

"Is that all?" Akali was shocked, and then thought of something, and asked in a lost voice, "Could it be that the war three years ago has already hurt your vitality?"

"That's right, Lucas I killed a thousand of my elite warriors in that war, and after Trist stole power, he also launched a multi-faceted offensive against us, although we successfully repelled them, but also suffered heavy losses, and now our strength is actually less than one-tenth of what it used to be. ”

Yun Hai was secretly frightened, the strength of this Elena was really not to be underestimated, and she had recruited so many people.

"May I ask, are these people all following your old ministry after the fall of your homeland?" Yun Hai wanted to confirm further.

"Yes, after all, people also need to eat, and who wants to continue to fight with me without any money but these loyal men? ”

"That being the case, we must continue to look for ways to strengthen ourselves. Yunhai secretly pondered. "But I really don't know how to manage the army......

"Yunhai, let's just come here. Akali said very understandingly. "Those of us grew up in the barracks, and we are all familiar with dealing with these problems, so you just need to help us be good staff officers. ”

"I'm really not a staff officer......" Yun Hai repeated here helplessly.

At this moment, Yunhai suddenly notices that Fluttershy has not said a word since the beginning, but is pondering on the sidelines, as if she is pondering something.

"What's wrong Fluttershy, what are you thinking?" Yunhai asks.

"Uh...... Huh?" Fluttershy wakes up and stares blankly at the sea of clouds for several seconds to react. "Actually, I think, why make such trouble, Baron Thomas and Miss Elena's territory is near here, we can completely let them recruit troops locally, with their local prestige, it must not be a difficult task, and before that, as Yunhai said, it would be good for us to rescue Catalina in time, and then we will slowly develop our strength, after all, the important thing now is that we have a stable place to live, isn't it?"

"yes, why didn't I think of it!" Yun Hai slapped his thigh. "The sooner we put the signboard out, we will have the ability to attract the uncompromising forces of the whole of Europe, as the so-called name is right, and we can also win the hearts and minds of the people by the way, killing two birds with one stone!"

"Okay, Fluttershy, I don't see you have such a brilliant idea!"

"That's your stupid ......" Fluttershy gives a disdainful look at the sea of clouds. "Actually, we can do this now, and Miss Elena, I ask you to find out about Caterina as soon as possible, as long as Caterina escapes safely, we can launch an attack on Baron Thomas's hometown, which is Brandenburg, and before that, I have something to do......"

"What's the matter?" everyone was curious.

"That's the assassination!" says Fluttershy, word for word.

"This ......" Yunhai is not too strange, because this method has long been used on a large scale in the history of Shenzhou, and countless famous assassins have left a heroic scene in the annals of history, and the ninjas of Iga Valley specialize in learning various assassination methods, which can be said to be the most systematic and powerful assassin training location in Shenzhou.

Fluttershy's idea is to assassinate the commander stationed in Brandenburg and the key officials under Trist, so that Reinhardt can get the city without bloodshed and sacrifice when he returns to his territory.

But Akali was surprisingly opposed to this, saying, "Assassination is still too despicable for me to do such a thing." ”

"So let me and Yunhai do this kind of thing. Fluttershy understands Akali's struggles, as she is deeply influenced by chivalric culture, and assassination is a vile and dirty act, and is not at all synonymous with knightly integrity.

"Why do you have to pull me ......," Yun Hai thought in pieces.

"Why, aren't you going?" Fluttershy looked at the sea of clouds faintly and lifted her toes slightly......

"Uh, don't get excited, don't get excited, I'll just go......" Yunhai hurriedly begged for mercy. "Akali, I know you despise this kind of method, but I think that no matter whether it is a black cat or a white cat, the one who can catch a mouse is a good cat, and our strength is very weak now, and we must do everything possible to avoid casualties, and, to be honest, with our current strength, there is almost no possibility of taking Brandenburg head-on, in this case, this is the only way. ”

However, war is a kind of deceitful thing, and with the development of history, this strategy of capturing the thief and capturing the king first has become more and more favored by soldiers, because it is a very effective way to avoid greater casualties.

"Princess Akali, in my opinion, Gui Butterfly King's idea is very realistic, after all, we are engaged in war, and mercy to the enemy is cruelty to yourself, and you don't want more innocent people to die, do you?" Elena agreed.

"In that case, please, Fluttershy. Akali thinks about it and thinks that this is the case, so she agrees to Fluttershy's suggestion.

"In that case, then I will act now, please wait for my good news, I may be away for a few days, in the meantime, please wait here for my news. ”

With that, Elena hurried out of the castle.

After eating at noon, Akali found the sea of clouds and asked him to walk alone with her.

"Do you have something to say?" Yun Hai saw that there was a lot of confusion between Akali's eyebrows, and he knew that she must have a lot of questions to ask.

"Well, let's find a quiet place and study it in detail. Akali nodded and asked, "Do you need to go to Fluttershy?"

"No, I just heard her say that she was going to take a nap, so let's ignore this lazy worm who sleeps when he's full. Yunhai looks back at Fluttershy's room and wonders.

"Okay, then please come with me. ”

Akali took Yunhai to the rooftop of the castle, brought two deck chairs, boiled two cups of coffee, and put them on the table, looking like this, she didn't want to leave for the time being.

"Coffee? Speaking of which, this kind of thing is also somewhat similar to Shenzhou's tea, although it is very bitter, but it is very delicious, and the refreshing effect is better than tea. "Yunhai once drank coffee at the foot of the Tianshan Mountain, in the barracks of the Lucas Crusaders, and he liked this bitter but very mellow drink at that time, and now that he has come to Europe, he will naturally not let go of such a delicious drink.

"Yunhai, I have a lot of questions, I hope you can answer them for me one by one. ”

"It's easy to say, there's no one else here now, please feel free to ask. Yunhai took a sip of coffee and said.

"Yunhai, why do you have to rush to attack Brandenburg?" Akali was a little puzzled by this. "Is it just because it's Reinhardt's home?"

"Naturally not, because I have a different agenda. After confirming that no one around was eavesdropping, Yunhai said: "Now, all the soldiers under our command are Elena's old troops, this is a very risky move, although I think that Elena can stabilize the morale of the army, but in the long run, our actions will inevitably be affected too much by her, which is not a good thing for you." ”

"You don't trust her?" Akali asked rhetorically.

"It's not distrust, it's that you can't let this happen. Yunhai shook his head. "Just imagine, if all our soldiers are Elena's people, once she has any dissatisfaction, should we listen to her, once we listen to her, who is the leader? You are also the princess of a country, the future master of the whole of Europe, you can understand the stakes, right?" Yunhai said little by little.

"My father also used this method to divide his troops into several group armies, and most of the military power was directly or indirectly pinched in his own hands, so as to ensure that he could deter other people......" Akali is such a smart person, she grew up in the court, she naturally knows these methods very well, so she nodded and said: "You mean, we have to form our own troops as soon as possible to get rid of Elena's possible influence, right?"

"That's right. Yunhai nodded.
