Section 295 transmitted

Marvin turned a blind eye to Sagas's actions, and in this respect, he was much more immune than those stupid southerners. Besides, he's just a magical projection here, and he can't do anything.

There are various types of Chaos Lords, and in fact, "Chaos Lord" is a word with a fairly broad meaning. Sometimes, it refers to the type of Bloodfang Lord: relying on merit on the battlefield to gain the approval of the gods. But things are not absolute, and some Chaos cultists have gained the same tremendous power through other means, although they may not have real armies under their command at all. Specifically, this kind of person can be said to be "Chaos Lord level", which means that although he has no military strength, his status in the Chaos camp is not inferior to that of the real Chaos Lord. Sagas, for example, is a typical example. She had relied on her skill to get her position - the meaning of this phrase was that this woman did not have many armies and men, but she was still able to stand on an equal footing with the legitimate Chaos Lord. For example, Marven, or Rogin, is actually similar. None of them relied on war to gain power and status, but to gain the favor of evil gods through other means.

But then again, in chaos, strength is still the foundation of a qiē after all. For example, the Bloodfang Lord rules over the White Keep, so he becomes the commander of the coalition forces. You must know that relying on the ability to plot conspiracies or beauty or something, it is absolutely impossible to get the rule of the White Castle.

In any case, at least Sagas does not pose a serious threat to his plans. She is no better than Luo Jin, and will become a thorn in Marven's side. She could even become an ally (if Sagas is smart enough) or a pawn (if she's not smart enough).

"I have high expectations for your abilities. Marven replied.

"Maybe you're overthinking. Sagas said suddenly. "Things may be simpler than you think, the southerners don't know anything about the internal situation of our army, including our troop deployment and specific plan of action. They're too cautious and maybe won't take any chances. ”

"I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm just afraid of what happens. Marven said meaningfully.

"I've done everything I can anyway, why are you still staying here?" Sagas suddenly turned his head and looked at Marven.

"That's right, I need you as a referral ......"

"See Ashrufat? Oh, no, no. God knows if he'll be able to get out of bed tomorrow. Parry: I don't need that, he'll be under my control sooner or later. Beller, that guy heard that he was cunning, and I guess you won't go to him unless you have no other choice. And the last one, Barranca?"

"I have to admire your cleverness. Marvin was very sincere—and seemed to be sincere—complimented.

"Give him one of these things you've made?" Sagas asked, picking up the piece of metal on the dresser. If Ashrufat was there, he would immediately recognize what this thing was. Marven relied on the positioning of this thing to be able to project across a long spatial distance.

"I'm afraid to scare him. Marvin said. "It's better to be able to signal to him...... Or maybe it's a hint or something. ”

"What do you know about the man named Barranca?"

"An old mercenary," Marven replied. He has a lot of manpower in Eagle City, and it would be a failure to assassinate Beller or the little queen, but it was still a good job to inquire about the news. "I was recruited into Gruny's Guards Regiment and got a worthless lieutenant general. It is said that this man has some military talent - it is easy to understand that anyone who can be a mercenary for decades will accumulate some experience. In the previous coup d'état, because of the faction of the little queen who defected in time, he embarked on the road to prosperity. He has now been knighted and in addition has the trust of the monarch. There's only one thing he's missing: a good record. If he can get merit in this war, then ...... Obtaining a fief and becoming a hereditary nobleman may depend on the specific situation, but it is certainly not a problem to get a high-ranking military position and command the army from now on. ”

"A guy who knows how to be opportunistic?" asked Sagas lazily.

"A smart guy. Marven emphasized.

"Why bother so much with such a person?"

"People miscalculate, horses stumble. Marven laughed. "I'm worried that if his mind is not calm for a while, then this deal will not be negotiated at all. In short, as long as he can talk to me calmly, I am six or seven percent sure. ”

"What do I get?"

"Honor of the gods...... Think about what would happen if we won the war? All of us would get the blue eyes of the gods...... Isn't that enough?"

"Not enough. Sagas replied calmly. "If you want to get an honor or something, it's enough for me to come here. And this is exactly what you have entrusted me with in addition...... I need to be paid extra. ”

"Well, you make an offer. Marven said helplessly.

"I know you made some magic scrolls some time ago. Sagas said. "I needed something that would allow me to get out of the city in a time of crisis. ”

"It's simple, how about a few teleportation scrolls?" Marven immediately agreed.

"What's the use of that stuff, unless our barracks are outside Neustria. Otherwise, if I escape, they won't chase them with cavalry, and as long as a magician leads the way, I won't be able to escape. ”

"So what do you want?"

"I know you're a master at making scrolls. I need a teleportation scroll, and I need something that can mask the effects of the magical winds that come with it!"

......

This Sagas, the offer is really ruthless! Marven leaned back in his chair a little helplessly. His gaze looked through the curtain door of the tent and looked at the walls of Gaohua City in the distance. You can vaguely see armed soldiers on the city walls, and at the same time there are busy craftsmen repairing the city walls.

These southerners are very good at using their time. However, Marven didn't care about this at all, because he knew that the reason why the city is still holding on is not because the city is really impregnable and indestructible, but because Marven is behind them to support them. If the Chaos Legion had enough magical support, the bones of the soldiers and civilians in the city would have rotted by now.

The defense capability of a city is not only linked to the various defensive measures of the city itself, but also directly linked to the command ability of the defending generals. Obviously, the general who was now organizing the defense of the city really didn't have any particularly outstanding abilities. Having said that, the last time Chaos invaded, the key to the reason why Sarek City was able to become the mainstay was that the guard was extremely capable, and he simply beat the Chaos Legion until he lost his temper. Of course, as everyone knows, the illustrious general ended up under the powerful sorcery of the wizard of Nurgle, along with all the soldiers and civilians in his city.

Time...... The Blood Fang Lord is divided into four places, and it will not take more than two or three months. He had to arrange everything during this time. War games or something, Marven doesn't want to play them. Although every Chaos Lord is no stranger to war, Marven himself knows that the army of the Southerners is actually not easy to mess with. Otherwise, why hasn't the Chaos Legion conquered the kingdom of these "weak southerners" for such a long time?

If you can, it's better to settle things in the back/on the back stage, so that the victory or defeat of the war becomes a trivial matter.

......

"There are plains under Gaohua City, if the light cavalry of the Chaos Legion roars in, but does not seek a decisive battle, but only monitors around, our army will immediately be in a dilemma. Even if they don't dare to approach, the pace of our army's march will still have to slow down considerably......"

"This is a simple one! Marauder cavalry, though fierce and combative, is not equipped with ranged weapons. Just let the musketeers go out and expel them. If the speed is not enough, you can even take off your armor and travel light. We don't fight in close combat, we shoot them with long-range fire...... When the time comes, they will only be beaten, and it will not take a few blows before they will collapse. Just be careful not to fall into an enemy ambush when pursuing......"

"What if it's a night raid? In order to prevent a night raid, we have to set up barracks and fortifications in time, which will inevitably hinder the speed of the march...... In addition to this, they can also abandon the main forces of our army and attack the logistics units of our army in turn......"

In the room, four men discussed in detail around a small map on a table. The gathering of four people has already imperceptibly changed from a "private meeting" to a "military meeting".

"The scout troops of the Chaos Legion have blocked the entire area, and our army's actions must protect the baggage troops as much as possible......"

"Organize a fast cavalry force to support the besieged castles...... Let's test Chaos' forces and reactions first...... This is more appropriate than directly attacking the enemy's base camp under Gaohua City......"

"I don't do this, this time we just need to fight off the Chaos Legion...... According to the information we have received earlier. As long as the Chaos Legion retreats, then they will immediately break out into a large-scale civil war because of the ownership of the White Fort, and then our country will have another ten years......"

"If it can be solved all at once, then it's better not to delay it until ...... later"

“...... But the risks are just as great as the benefits...... If we lose, the consequences will be unimaginable......"

"What does Lord Bayrell think of this?"

"I want to be able to ......"

As mentioned earlier, this was actually a private meeting. Therefore, the four of them did not have the kind of restrained attitude in a normal meeting, but instead offered their own ideas and discussed the future battle situation seriously and fiercely.

This is actually a little different from the original plan. In the original plan, the Eagle Falcon City side had already prepared such a plan as "Gaohua City was broken by the Chaos Legion". Therefore, the whole army gathered in the city of Neustria, relying on the fortified city, gathering the strength of the country and chaos for a decisive battle. But in fact, either everyone overestimated the combat power of the Chaos Legion, or everyone underestimated the defense capability of Gaohua City, in short, such a thing did not happen.

Undoubtedly, this gave the coalition forces more choice, and it was over this "greater choice" that everyone quarreled. If the Chaos Legion breaks through Gaohua City and enters Neustria City, then there is really nothing to discuss, and everyone can have a battle with the Chaos Legion under the city. If you win, you will regain the territory, and if you lose, you will have to retreat to the city of Neustria, and then the strategy will change to find a way to drag down the Chaos Legion.

The discussion did not lead to any conclusions, but only a series of tactical options to be selected. It was noon that the discussion ended. Everyone was hungry, so they took their leave.

Said everyone was hungry, but the other two had breakfast, only Barranca really didn't eat anything. He got up a little later than the others, and heard that Parry and Bellele had gone to Ashrufat's room one after another, and had not had time to eat breakfast. So he was twice as hungry and thirsty as others. He didn't bother to go back, and instead walked to the long hall on the lower level of the central castle - where the officers' canteen was located.

Then he saw the woman around the corner.
