"A bunch of trash!" Slint grew angrier at Karen's explanation.

"But don't worry, it's not like we've completely lost the channels to know about Dongwoo's situation, it's just that we haven't activated them yet. After so many years of hard work, it is not that we can eradicate it!"

"We've reached the most critical moment now, when will we wait if we don't start at this time?" Hearing Karen say that there were other channels, Slint's eyes immediately lit up!

"I'll have to wait until Dongwoo is completely in our territory!" said this, a cruel smile flashed in Karen's eyes!

Seeing Karen like this, Slint secretly let out a sigh of relief, and his face that was as cold as ten thousand years of ice finally poured into a warm current.

In the room, Hamilton was the only one who was full of disapproval. On the one hand, he didn't believe that Karen had any secret high-end information channels at all, and on the other hand, he didn't believe that Karen had any better way to deal with Li Zijun than to stick to the three cities in front of him!

At this moment, the only thing Hamilton wanted to believe was that they would be able to hold on to the three cities they were currently hosting!

Slint, Karen, and Hamilton are planning how to resist Li Zijun's attack, while Victor is figuring out how to capture Santa Cruz as soon as possible!

"Your Highness, is there any news from Monlin?" As soon as the grimacing Aubrey entered the tent, he asked Victor about the situation on Monlin's side.

No need to ask, it seems that he also knows that the battle ahead is unfavorable, Victor couldn't help but sigh deeply, he really didn't expect that Marcas would have such a tenacious side!

"Heller has already sent troops, but he is moving very slowly, and it seems that we can't count on them to put pressure on Marcus anytime soon!"

"Extremely slow, are they being strongly blocked by the Aujin?" Aubrey asked, his eyes lit up, and he pressed into Victor.

"That's good! Marcus is completely with us this time, he has abandoned most of the northern part of Aojin, leaving only a few important cities with defenders, and the others have been transferred here by him!"

"In that case, why is Monlin's army still making slow progress? Could it be that that old thing Heller has some other ideas?"

"That's a compliment on him! According to what I've just gotten, the reason why he didn't go straight to Aojin is because he's worried that Edlaide will give him a chance to get in!"

"Edlaide, you mean?" Aubrey had suffered a big loss at the hands of Li Zijun, and when he heard this name, he immediately frowned.

"As the general expected, Edlaide sent an army to Monlin!"

"How many?"

"It should be less than 100,000!"

"Less than a hundred thousand!" Aubrey let out a visibly sigh.

"A mere 100,000 men, as for scaring Heller into what he is now? As far as I know, Heller has stationed a full 300,000 troops north of Monlin, is it necessary for him to be so worried? Who is the commander of this army?"

"It's not very clear yet, but I just know that they played Bob's banner along the way!"

"Bob, the fat man?" Aubrey burst out laughing when he heard Bob's name:

"Ten years ago, 'Bob' may have been barely a character, but now, he is a pig in my eyes! Stupid big fat pig! Edlaide's move is simply 'going to the doctor when he is sick', and it's ridiculous that Heller really fell for him!"

"It can't be said that Bob was also a member of the Dongyu Northern Army back then, and he had a lot of prestige in both Dongyu and Monlin, and it was understandable that Heller was a little worried. And," Victor frowned.

"And what?"

"And I always feel that there is something wrong with this matter! Dongyu sent troops to annex Ziqing, and it didn't hurt as we expected. On the contrary, with the continuous efforts of Virgil and Edlaide, Dongyu and Ziqing completed their fusion at a speed that we could not imagine, and it is a real fusion! Today's Dongyu can be described as a strong soldier, and it is no exaggeration to say that Edlaide can call hundreds of fierce generals at this moment! I really can't understand why he delegated Bob, a guy who is almost useless in our eyes, to carry out such an important task?" Victor looked at Aubrey with a puzzled face.

"Isn't he worried that Bob won't be able to slow Haeller's 'pace' and eventually lead to the death of Marcus City?"

"Perhaps, Marcus is not that important in Edlaide's eyes at all, and we overestimate their friendship!" Aubrey pondered for a moment, and tried to answer Victor.

"Edlaide is not that kind of person!" Victor tried to convince himself of Aubrey's analysis, but in the end, he shook his head a little helplessly.

"Through Dongwoo's advance dispatch to us this time, it is not difficult for us to see that Edlaide really regards Marcus as his true friend!

"Then Your Highness, what should we do next?"

"Relay the news we've gotten and the analysis we've just done to Heller, and remind him to beware of Edlaide's 'Arrow Hurting'!"

"But in this way, he will definitely not dare to go deeper into Aojin, so won't it become trouble for us to ask him over?"

"Not necessarily, that Heller guy is stubborn, and if we try to encourage him to come and besiege Santa Cruz, he may not come, but if we give him a 'do the opposite,' he might even come and take a trip to the troubled waters here!"

"But what if he doesn't come?"

"Then we will take Santa Cruz with our own strength, didn't we plan to do so before!" Victor stood up and led the group out of the tent.

Looking at Santa Cruz, still struggling in the distance, Victor felt himself also ignited:

"From now on, at any cost, we will attack the city with all our might!

"But in this way, our losses will inevitably surge!"

"I said, at any cost! understood?" asked Victor, turning his head and looking coldly at Aubrey.

"Understood!" Stimulated by Victor's cold eyes, Aubrey immediately straightened his back!

Three days later, Victor's letter was respectfully delivered to His Majesty Heller.

"I already understand the situation, you go down to rest first, and I will give you a reply later!" After reading the contents of Victor's letter, Heller ordered someone to temporarily send the Fengqi messenger out of this hall.

"Come and see, what do you think about this?" said Heller, handing Victor's letter to Tiffany, who was sitting nearby.

Tiffany is young after all, and after these ten days of recuperation, he has already regained some strength. Today, he brought his illness to Miyamoto to persuade Heller to withdraw his troops from the Aojin border, but unexpectedly, he was just in time for the letter sent by Victor.

"Father, I think Victor's analysis is correct, 'Bob''s army is by no means as simple as it seems on our surface! I suggest you: immediately withdraw your troops from southern Xinjiang, and at the same time strengthen the defenses of Chishiji and Van Erda, as well as Skelke!"

"Tiffany, you're still a little too tender! You can't just look at the surface of politics, you have to know as much as you can about something deep!"

"Come on, look at this again!" said Heller, handing Tiffany another piece of information.

"Victor has stepped up his offensive against Santa Cruz!?"

"Isn't that right, Victor has decided that we can't continue to help them, and are ready to take Santa Cruz with their own strength. Is there anything wrong with that?" for a moment, Tiffany didn't understand what His Majesty Heller meant.

"Wrong, very wrong!" Heller shook his head pretendedly:

"The reason why Victor sent us this letter and intensified his offensive against Santa Cruz is actually only one reason in the final analysis: that is, he regrets it!

"Because, he found that Marcus was already vulnerable!" said this, Heller couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Father!" Tiffany finally heard something in Heller's laughter, and he immediately got up from his chair.

It's just that Tiffany hasn't fully recovered after all, and he stands up too hard this time, and he can't help but feel dizzy.

"No, Father, you can't!" But even so, Tiffany waved her hand at Heller with all her might.

"Can't you send troops to the Aojin Empire? Just for Bob's less than 100,000 horses? What a joke!"

"I have stationed 300,000 imperial elites in Chishiji, Van Erda, and Skelke, and it is foolproof to have them in our northern frontier!"

"Edlaide is just a tricky kid, and he might be too whimsical to scare me with tens of thousands of people!" said Heller, standing up excitedly.

"Father, Edlaide is known as the number one general in the Youlan Continent, how can his intentions be guessed by ordinary people at will, you must not" Seeing that Heller was about to make a final decision, Tiffany hurriedly stood up.

"The number one general?" Heller pouted with disdain:

"He's just lucky, and he happened to win a few battles! I admit that he has some ability, but at least for now, the 'number one player' is not worthy of his name!"

"But your reminder is not completely unreasonable, I will send an additional 50,000 troops to strengthen the defense of Skelke!"

"350,000 to 100,000, the 'Bob' army is not even 100,000, four or five of us against one of them, you can rest assured this time, right?" )
