Seeing that Savin and Larry were listening intently to his speech, Alvin continued: "The biggest reason why Correa's country is so powerful is because there are not many nobles in its country, and there are only a few big nobles in Correa, and the gap between the other small nobles and these big families is so great that it is almost negligible.

Therefore, it can be said that Correa is actually composed of several countries, each big family is a country, and each of these big families has a strong military force, the most famous of which is the Celia family, that is, the Elshira family. The strength of the country formed by the union of these several military clans can be imagined. ”

After speaking, Alvin looked at Savin and Larry, and saw that both of them had a somewhat solemn face, so he continued: "But as far as I know, Correa is not monolithic internally, and it is precisely because several big families are very strong, so they are not very united with each other. Although the king is still nominally in charge of the entire country, in reality it is difficult for the king to command several other large families. ”

At this point, Alvin interjected, "In that case, do you think that this Correa attack on Pesanis is the operation of the entire Correa, or is it the individual action of one of the families?"

Alvin shook his head and said, "To be honest, it's hard for me to make a conclusion on this matter now, but judging from Correa's undeclared actions, I guess this should not be Correa's unified national action." That's why I said that maybe we could start from within Correa and use diplomacy to defuse this war. ”

Sawan nodded, Alvin said that there is indeed some truth, if he can not use the means of war, he also hopes to avoid it as much as possible, after all, this is a matter that affects the whole body, in case of a real defeat, I am afraid that it will not only be the problem of Correa, but also Pesanis, Fellowes and Cresan will have changes in the country, these places have just been defeated, and there are still many opposing forces.

Sawan asked Alwin, "Then how do you say we can defuse this war from within?"

Alvin thought for a moment and said, "We can provoke the contradictions of the Correa families from within, as long as they are not united and friction arises between them, I am afraid that the attack on Pesanis will not be sustainable." If diplomacy is done properly, it may be possible to trigger a civil war between them. In short, we can do it together, on the one hand, we will actively prepare for war, and on the other hand, we will use diplomatic means to divide them as much as possible. ”

Elwin's words opened up a new way of thinking for Savan, if he could really use diplomacy to divide Correa, it could be said that this would be more effective than thousands of troops, especially now that the cooperation between the Magic Guild and himself is not smooth, it will be more and more difficult to get support from the Magic Guild, and he will have to develop other allies.

Sawan stood up and said, "Okay, I'll think about this matter carefully, and when Selia comes, we'll have another meeting, and I'll inform Lothrian now, so that he can do his best to defend first." ”

Savan's orders soon reached Lothrian, and he ordered his First Legion to defend the safety of Salem, the capital of Pessanis, and not to go out of the city to fight. After receiving Savan's order, Lothrian immediately ordered the Fourth Army to hold several important cities and passes in the country, and adopted a policy of fortifying and clearing the wilderness throughout the country.

Two days later, Celia arrived in Haydonnice aboard the dragon Fiorno and met Sawan as soon as she landed. As soon as Celia saw Savan, she immediately knelt down on one knee and pleaded guilty, and said, "Please forgive me, I really didn't know about Correa's attack on Pesanis this time, and I definitely didn't communicate with the family. ”

Sawan knew very well what Selia was worried about, she was afraid that she would suspect her of communicating privately with the family, although Seriya was also a high-ranking member of the Holy Cult Army now, after all, this incident might involve the Elshira family. However, Sawin believed that Selia would not betray him, and he smiled while helping Celia up, "You don't have to worry, I have absolutely no doubt about you, let's sit down and talk." ”

After sitting down, Celia said, "Because I came in too much of a hurry, I haven't had time to ask the family about this matter, maybe there will be an answer in a day or two." ”

Savin said, "Do you think the Elsira family would be honest with you if they were involved in this military operation?"

Savin's words made Celia unable to answer, her face turned red with anxiety, Sawin waved her hand and said, "Don't worry, I'm not trying to doubt you, I'm worried that if the Elshira family is also involved, it will be difficult for you to be caught in the middle." So I hope it's best that the El Shira family isn't involved in this. ”

Celia sighed, "I hope so, too, but Correa is more complicated in the country, and there are some things that I don't know very well. ”

Sawan comforted: "You don't have to worry too much, even if the Al Shira family is involved, I won't doubt you, I am absolutely assured of this." And I want you to take me to visit the Elshira family, and I'm sure I have another way to get along with the Elshira family than war. ”

Selia's eyes widened when she heard Savan's words, and she said in disbelief, "Your Excellency...... Say...... Going to visit the El Hira family?"

Sawan nodded, and Celia asked, "But now we are at war with Correa......

Sawin smiled: "I heard from Alvin that the major families in Correa are not in harmony, so I thought that maybe I could reach a cooperation with the Elshira family, even if I had to fight, I didn't want to fight the entire Correa." ”

Celia understood what Savan meant, and she nodded gratefully and said, "No problem, I'll write a letter right away and inform the family of this matter." ”

Over the next few days, reports continued to arrive from the front, and Correa's cavalry was invincible in Pesanis, and many places fell under the control of Correa's army, and Losrian ordered his troops to hold important cities and passes and not engage them. Therefore, although the Correa Army was majestic, it did not actually take much advantage and did not cause much damage to the Fourth Army.

However, Savin also knows that he can't let Corre's runner-up stay in Pesanis all the time, otherwise after a long time, people's hearts will fluctuate, and I don't know what will happen when the time comes. A large number of Pesanes' troops chose to surrender themselves, and this time they may also surrender Correa, and people's hearts are the most unpredictable.

However, there was good news from Serena that the Elsira family had agreed to Savin's request for a visit, and that the Elshira family had not been involved in the attack on Pesanis, which was an offensive launched by the king and another large family.

Sawin vaguely saw between the lines of the letter that the Elsira family had the meaning of showing goodwill, it seems that it is really as Elvin analyzed, although Correa is very powerful, but there is no unity inside, even such a major event as attacking Pesthanes, the Elshira family seems to be a bystander, which makes Sawan a little more confident in this visit.

In order to make his visit worry-free, Sawan finally decided to secretly transfer Hortz back to Hieronis, which was done very secretly, and Celia personally took the Wyvern to Fellowos to bring Hortz back, and only a few high-level people in the know. Sawan rushed to meet with Teitor and Hotts, and told him to stabilize the situation and not let a fire break out in the backyard.

At the same time, Savan also ordered Lyanna to be ready to rush to Pesanis on time, Fellowes and Cresan can give up, but Pesanes and Herones cannot be discarded, this is the foundation of the entire Holy Cult Army, and other places can be recaptured if they are lost, and it will be a big trouble if these two places are lost.

After explaining everything, Sawan and Serya secretly traveled to the territory of the Elshira family in a wyvern. Sitting on Fionor's back, Savin silently thought about the heavy responsibility of this visit, if the visit failed, he would have to fight to the death with the Correa army, and at that time, he would have to bow his head and beg the Magic Guild.

At the thought of this, Sawan felt a heaviness rise on his shoulders.
