It was another morning, and Lucius stood in front of the metal gate in front of the town, watching the troops of the Greenskins, Orcs, Black Iron Dwarves, and High Elves leave.

Palup and Renaud stood beside Lucius, also looking at the distant procession, and Palupu said to Lucius: "Your Highness, why do we choose the western part of the plain? Everyone knows that the western part of the plain is the most barren place on the plain. ”

Renaud also has a lot of opinions about Lucius's arrangement, originally he planned to take the opportunity to make a profit, but now that all his subordinates are in the hands of Lucius, he can only passively accept Lucius's command.

Now seeing that Parip raised objections, Renaud immediately said: "Yes, Your Highness Lucius, in fact, we could have chosen other places, so why do we have to give up the three most fertile pieces of land to those three tribes? ”

"Hehehe......" Lucius smiled and turned his head to look at Renault, who was suddenly a little hairy in his heart, especially Lucius's confident and sharp gaze, which seemed to reveal a sense of wisdom.

Just when Renault felt that he could not bear it, Lucius withdrew his gaze and said calmly, "Do you really think that those towns are so easy to attack? Even if the three clans had already planned, things might not be as simple as they thought. ”

"Now the various ethnic groups in the Caohai Plain have been living together for many years, even if the three ethnic groups successfully conquer those towns, they may not be able to successfully control those places, not to mention that if they can really get the support of the majority of the people, I am afraid that they don't always have to hide, so it is easy to attack the towns, but it is not easy to completely control them. ”

After listening to Lucius's analysis, Renault lowered his head and thought about it carefully, and suddenly felt that Lucius's analysis was very reasonable.

And Lucius didn't wait for Renault to speak. Looking up at the stars in the starry sky, he said: "I don't want to bring wars and disasters everywhere I go, so I let the three tribes choose their own territory, try to reduce the war, and hope that the Caohai Plain can usher in peace in a more gentle way." ”

As he spoke, Lucius turned to look at Palup and Renault with a stern expression and said, "You guys also go and prepare to drive, Renault is in charge of the towns in the western plains, and those port cities along the coast, and leave them to Palup." ”

As for Lucius's arrangement, Renault naturally has no opinion. Over the years, those port cities have long been abandoned because of the control of mechanical castles.

All of them have been reduced to fortresses against sea monsters, all of which are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there is not much oil and water in the city, and the inhabitants of those towns by the sea are almost all criminals sent by the mechanical castle, which is simply a dirty place of crime.

As a result, for so many years, few people have mentioned those western ports, and even many young people have long forgotten about them. No one wants to go there.

Now that Lucius has handed over the matter of attacking the port to the gnomes, Renaud is naturally overjoyed in his heart, and secretly feels that Lucius is a human after all, and he is always relatively oriented towards some human races.

Renaud was ordered to depart happily. But Palup stayed with a solemn expression, raised his head and looked at Lucius's back, and then stopped.

Parip was well aware of the situation in the western port, but he had sworn allegiance to Lucius, and he knew he could not disobey Lucius's orders. So he stood there hesitantly.

After a long time, Lucius noticed that Palup behind him had not left, turned his head to look at the dwarf and smiled and said, "What? Haven't you prepared yet? Your task is very heavy." Or do you not want to attack those ports, which places are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and where there is no oil or water?"

Lucius's words made Parip speechless, and he couldn't say a word of what he had thought of, just because his words Lucius had already spoken for him more directly.

As early as the first time Lucius met, he forced himself to pledge his allegiance to him, and Parip knew that the young owner of Clover K, who always seemed to be smiling, had an extraordinary insight, especially being able to catch the slightest movement of anyone else without even noticing.

After these days of communication, Parip felt that Lucius was terrible, not only because of his powerful mechanical skills, but also because of his endless and strange schemes.

Now, being told by Lucius, Parip really didn't know what to say, so he could only stand there stunned with a blank face.

Lucius turned around, saw Parup standing there in a daze, stretched out his hand and bent down and patted Palupu's shoulder and said, "Palupu, you should understand that in this land, I trust you the most, so I will hand over those ports to you, and soon you will see that those ports are the most important places in the plains." ”

Parup looked up at Lucius, and there was sincerity in the other party's eyes, and Palupu understood that Lucius was not deceiving himself, but really regarded himself as a trusted person.

Taking two steps back, Parup knelt down on one knee again and said to Lucius very respectfully: "Your Highness Lucius, Palupu and my people will never fail your trust and will definitely take those ports." ”

But Lucius smiled and shook his head and said, "No, you leave overnight, use your troop carriers, transport the men and horses to the predetermined place and wait, remember that you must not attack on your own until the people who assist you arrive, and when those ports are taken, I think it will become a habitat for you and your people." ”

Palupu looked stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect Lucius to give him such an order, but he didn't have to lead his clan to storm those ports alone, and Palupu was secretly relieved.

And Lucius didn't wait for Palup to speak, but waved his hand and said, "Okay, you go, it's a long way to the west, and it's not safe along the way, so you and your people should start early." ”

Palup didn't say anything more, saluted Recius respectfully, and then turned and walked in the direction of the dwarf army outside the town, and soon the Avenger army that had gathered in the town at night all left one after another, and the short-lived town returned to its former tranquility.

The companions walked out of the town and gathered around Lucius, and Du Liniang spoke first, "When are we leaving?"

"There's no hurry, let's rest for the night, and it's not too late to leave tomorrow. ”

"We have steam locomotives, orcs, high elves, and black iron dwarves are all on foot, and we will be faster than them," said Lucius, calmly. So don't worry about them making the first move and affecting us. ”

Caroline suddenly asked, "Are you really decided?"

"Hehe, of course. Lucius grinned and said, "I'll go there myself, and I will be able to break through those ports." ”

Seeing Lucius's confident smile, Qi Li'er, who had rarely expressed her opinion since entering the plain, stood up and said, "But have you ever thought about it? ”

Qi Li'er suddenly stood up and said such a thing, which surprised everyone present, and Qi Li'er did not wait for Lucius to respond, and continued: "You know that it is very dangerous there. Why do you have to go on your own? Besides, the mechanical cores aren't necessarily there. ”

Lucius looked at Qi Li'er who suddenly stood up, frowned slightly, and then laughed again: "Hehe, don't worry, those machines can't hurt me." ”

Then he pointed at Beludi, and they continued, "You see, I have so many machines around me now, can I still be afraid of those ancient machines? ”

Hearing this, Qi Lier asked suspiciously, "Really?"

Seeing that Qilier didn't trust her, Lucius walked over. Reaching out and touching Qi Li'er's head, he said, "Hehe, silly girl, don't worry, I can't put myself in danger." ”

Everyone saw Lucius caressing Qili's head affectionately. All of them were dumbfounded.

And Qi Li'er quickly came to her senses, stretched out her hand and pushed Lucius away, like a frightened rabbit, and quickly hid behind Du Liniang.

Lucius spread his hands and explained with some embarrassment: "Hehe." I can't help it, I can't help it, don't get me wrong. Let's discuss how to deal with the mechanical castle. ”

It's a pity that Lucius changed the topic too bluntly, and no one took his words at all, but everyone continued to look at him with strange eyes, and finally Lucius could only say helplessly: "Okay, okay, just think that I made a mistake, don't look at me with this kind of gaze, okay?"

Du Liniang saw that the atmosphere had become a little strange, and under Lu Xiusius's pleading gaze, she could only stand up as an elder: "Okay, let's talk about this later, we still have business to deal with now." ”

Naturally, with Du Liniang's speech, everyone no longer continued to pay attention to what happened just now, and everyone's attention returned to the upcoming war, and the episode was gradually forgotten by everyone temporarily.

Noko thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "If you want to avoid attracting the attention of the mechanical castle, you must hide it from everyone and prevent others from seeing our intentions, and now that we have achieved this point, the rest depends on our feints and the effect of those three races' attacks on the towns of the plains." ”

Hearing what Norco said, Lucius seemed to have been prepared for this question, so he immediately spoke: "I have thought of this for a long time, so I decided to let you all participate in the feint attack on the mechanical castle, and make sure that the acting is realistic, so that the mechanical army in the mechanical castle will not dare to move." ”

Then Shadow then said, "You mean, let's use a kind of pressure to make a wrong judgment by the will of the Broken Machine Castle, buy you and the gnomes time?"

"Yes, as for me, I'll take Aguferdin, Mogupatine, and Beluti with me, and I'll leave it to you as for No. 3 and No. 4, as well as Vainchamber and the General, including the mechanical warriors, and make sure that the feint scene is sufficient. ”

After listening to Lucius's arrangement, Du Liniang asked in surprise: "Stinky boy, are you going to take only the three of them? Don't you need other people's manpower? Don't you even bring those mechanical regiments? Wouldn't this be too risky? Doesn't it mean that those harbors are guarded with fierce criminals?"

"yes, if you might as well bring some mechanical warriors with you, you might as well be able to help in the war, it's too risky for you to go alone. ”

For everyone's persuasion, Lucius smiled indifferently: "Hehe, you don't have to worry, isn't there still an army of dwarfs?" I'm sure, there will definitely be no accident, not to mention that if you take away some of the mechanical warriors, they will be discovered by the mechanical castle soon, and they may be startled." ”

At the insistence of Lucius, it was difficult for everyone to persuade anything, so they could only do it according to Lucius's arrangement, and the big battle on the Caohai Plain was officially advanced to the stage of preparation for war from this moment. (To be continued......)
