In the Ogden war room, Demps sat alone between two large tables, and he kept picking up the document containing Dongwoo's intelligence from the slightly smaller right side of the table next to him, and after reading it carefully, he gently put it on the left side of the table.

After pondering for a while, Demps would sometimes get up and mark something on the map on the other desk, and sometimes pick up a new document and continue reading.

I don't know how long it took, but Demps placed all the papers on the left side of the small table, his eyes completely fixed on the map beside him.

Gradually, the taste of doubt in Demps's eyes became stronger and stronger, and his eyebrows were tightly tangled together!

"Could it be that Edlaide's target is really the Purple Empire?" Demps said to himself as he leaned over the map.

These days, Demps and Nancy have worked hard to gather intelligence, and even paid a lot of money to buy off senior intelligence officials, using the inner lines buried deep in the Southern Legion.

Based on all the intelligence analysis, it is not difficult for Demps to come to the conclusion that Dongyu is about to target the Ziqing Empire!

But it was precisely because of the ease of this conclusion that Demps, who was already full of doubts about it, was even more puzzled! As a good general, he had an instinctive suspicion of everything, and it was hard for him to believe that Edlaide would reveal his goals on such a large scale before the operation!

But if you judge what Edlaide thinks of Ogden on this basis, let alone convince others, even Demps himself feels that it is too subjective. He felt more and more confused!

"What, could it be that Edlaide is really preparing to attack Ogden?" Nancy, who walked into the room just as Demps was distracted, saw her husband's expression completely. She couldn't help but ask worriedly.

The reason why Demps was able to be sent to Ogden was entirely the result of Nancy's careful operation. On the surface. She wanted Demps to make it easy for her in this position, but actually. She is using this way to protect her husband! She doesn't want her to get a backfire from her hard work!

Sensing that his emotions had affected Nancy, Demps, who loved his wife dearly, hurriedly furrowed his brow and smiled lightly.

"No, I did have such worries, but after reading the information you got for me, I have already concluded that Edlaide's real target is the Ziqing Empire!"

"I'll just say, Edlaide must cherish his feathers, and he will never dare to attack Ogdon, who is stationed by me, and bring shame on himself!" Demps said as he patted his chest and boasted when he saw that Nancy was still not at ease.

"But?"

"But what, I'm hungry! let's go to dinner together!" said Demps. Pulling Nancy outside.

Nancy, who knew her husband well, knew very well that Demps was insincere, but she couldn't say anything more at this time. Sighing secretly, he followed Demps as he prepared to walk out of the war room.

"Report!" one of Demps' guards suddenly appeared in front of the war room, followed by a herald.

The herald, who had been present at Ogden several times and was well acquainted with Temple, did not wait for Nancy to leave before handing a letter of order to Temple.

'The Yaksa have been defeated, I want to pay attention to the whereabouts of Kama and Ula!If there is news, we must do our best to rescue them!' Temples couldn't help but change his face when he saw the order above.

Demps was still worried about Ogden's lack of backup just now, lest he give Edlaide a chance! And this order is tantamount to making Ogden's defense worse, once the troops are divided to rescue Karma, Ulla's mother and daughter, Demps will be in the embarrassing situation of being overstretched. No wonder his expression was so ugly.

At that moment, Demps suddenly felt a pain in his lower back, and he realized that the herald was still standing in front of him.

"The last general obeys the order!" Nancy reminded. Demps reluctantly gave the next order.

The herald was still a little unhappy with Demps's expression, but after Nancy handed over the silver coin. His face finally soothed, and he turned to follow the guard down to rest.

"Why are you always so stubborn? Nancy couldn't help but start complaining about Demps.

"I really don't know what these bigwigs in the DPRK and China think? Now that Ogden has become an isolated city, they still want me to send troops to rescue Kama and Ulla's mother and daughter. ”

"Even if Edlaide has no intention of attacking Ogden for the time being, after he finds out that we have drawn forces against him, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not change his mind. If he takes advantage of it, Ogden will be in danger!" said Temple, worried.

"Then you can't treat the herald with that attitude! You don't know his identity, and if you offend him, will you still have your good fruit to eat in the future?"

"But you also know what it means to Ogden as long as I carry out this order? I don't believe that Edlaide will really turn a blind eye to such a big mistake as us, I don't want to be a sinner of Fengqi through the ages!"

"When will you understand that there is always a huge gap between receiving orders and actually carrying them out! Don't say that you haven't heard anything from the Yaksians right now, and even if they do start asking you for help, won't you turn a blind eye?

"Is this okay?"

"What's not going to happen?!Kama and Ula aren't any of their relatives, is it necessary for them to be too difficult for you for these two people?"

"When the time comes, we just need to give some benefits to those big guys, and some of them will stand up and speak for you!" Nancy assured Demps confidently.

"Hey, sooner or later, the Empire will fall into the hands of these brokers!" Demps cursed indignantly.

"Alright, at least we're the beneficiaries of the system for now, so don't complain!" Nancy smiled and pulled Demps out of the room.

"Nancy, can you?" said Demps, grimacing.

"Okay, you don't have to say any more! I promise you, after this pick-up, the business will be temporarily suspended for a while. You should be relieved now, right?" Nancy knew exactly what Demps was trying to say, she sighed, nodded and agreed to her husband's request.

"Xiexie, wife!" Demps understands what a halt to smuggling will cost Nancy, and she understands that she's doing it entirely for herself. For a moment, Demps was so moved that he didn't know what to say.

"Don't thank me, if your guess is wrong, see how I clean you up!" Nancy smiled and glanced at Demps.

"How great it would be if Edlaide really attacked the Ziqing Empire! Not only do we not need to worry about Ogden's safety, as long as we do it properly, we may also get a windfall!" Although Demps agreed, Nancy still had a bit of luck in her heart. And purely from an economic point of view, her judgment does have some truth.

"It's not that simple!" Demps heard the unwillingness in Nancy's heart, and he immediately shook his head.

"With the Dongyu Empire's comprehensive national strength dominating the Youlan Continent, the other six countries are becoming more and more suspicious of them!"

"Although the Ziqing Empire has always maintained an alliance with them on the surface, secretly, it is also constantly making trouble for the Dongyu Empire!"

"This is the case of 'Blood Jade Ruyi', and so is the case of this mobilization of the army, intentionally or unintentionally, involving the Southern Legion!"

"Why do you talk about me, the more confused I become! You just said 'it's not that simple', and now you say that the Ziqing Empire is constantly making trouble for Dongyu. What the hell do you want to say? I just want to know if Edlaide will really attack the Ziqing Empire in the future, as the intelligence says?"

"If you only had one friend left by your side, would you fall out with him easily?" Demps asked rhetorically.

"But this 'friend' is already planning to break with me, do you really think I still need to keep this friendship?"

"Although this 'friend' is indeed not very good, after all, he has not done anything particularly serious so far! On the contrary, he is willing to resist the same enemy with you most of the time, isn't this kind of 'friendship' worth 'cherishing' for a while?"

"Isn't it serious that Emperor Bixia's lover and illegitimate daughter were both killed?"

"Compared to the interests of the country, they are too insignificant! Virgil Bixia of the Dongyu Empire is scheming and calm, I find it hard to believe that he would abandon the established national policy in order to avenge these two people!"

"Moreover, changing the commander before the battle is a taboo for soldiers! Even if Camp is weak and incompetent, he should never be replaced at this time!"

"What's more, as far as I know, as the commander of the Southern Legion, although Camp is not very good, he is definitely qualified!"

"But such a general, but at the moment when he was about to send troops, he was replaced by the Grand Duke of Edlaide! Don't you think there is something strange in this?"

"You also know that when the border was demarcated, in order to show their sincerity, Dongyu took the initiative to transfer several important checkpoints in their hands to the Ziqing Empire. ”

And in order to show its trust in its allies, the Ziqing Empire has only symbolically arranged some garrisons at these levels, which has been the case over the years. ”

"It doesn't really make a big difference between using Edlaide or Camp when you conquer these non-existent cities. That is to say, Virgil Bixia replacing Camp at this time actually doesn't play a big role!"

"Unless ???" Demps hesitated slightly.

"Unless what?"

"Unless Virgil Bixia is ready to annex the Ziqing Empire in one fell swoop!" Demps said this sentence and startled himself as well. (To be continued......)
