Close wasn't as stupid as the residents, and even Nia beside him could see Reinhardt's tricks.

"Lord Cross, he just wants us to provide armor and weapons, right?"

That's right, the so-called Iron City is the real trick to coax children, Reinhardt sent the blacksmith to Tongshan Town, ostensibly to help Tongshan Town develop iron refining, but in fact it restricts the development of Tongshan Town in other directions.

After all, the population of Copper Mountain Town is so large, if all the mined ore is smelted into iron tools, then other things can indeed be done, and Copper Mountain Town will not be able to develop normally, which is Reinhardt's purpose.

Secondly, those blacksmiths can serve as Reinhardt's eyes in Copper Mountain, as long as they stay in Copper Mountain, then Cross's every move will be passed on to Reinhardt's ears.

Reinhardt's move was a double kill.

However, Cross couldn't refuse, although he knew very well that this was Reinhardt's little trick, but he couldn't refuse, he knew that with the current strength of Copper Mountain Town, it was a problem to even gain a foothold near Sunset City, not to mention, the other party was Reinhardt, who was hundreds of times stronger than Sunset City. This is also the reason why Cross called him Earl Reinhardt in the first place.

"Thank you very much, Earl Reinhardt, for I have made a recent agreement with Viscount William, another leader of the Resistance, and if I want your help, I will be an insatiable villain. ”

Reinhardt was shocked when he heard this, and at the same time appreciated Cross's genius even more.

Cross deliberately mentions William, and also refers to William as another leader of the Resistance, which is to tell Reinhardt that there is also a possibility of change in the Resistance.

At the same time, the rebels here are speaking to Cresia.

After all, the rebels are not legitimate, and an alliance with such an army could have serious consequences. He wants to keep Sunset City neutral, so that Copperhill can grow steadily.

Naturally, all this cannot be hidden from Reinhardt. As for the last sentence, Reinhardt hoped that Cross was really a greedy person.

Reinhardt thought for a moment and continued, "Lord Cross, I didn't give you the blacksmith for nothing, I need you to help me out of this predicament.

Although I had completely defeated the thousand-strong army of the Kingdom of Seatta not long ago, they did not give up.

Now that they had gathered another army of more than three thousand men, they might have set out from Fort Bungalow.

Their target is still me. ”

Reinhardt's expression was not good, and Cross was well aware of the troubles of the new earl.

"Count Reinhardt, their line of attack will be the same as last time, first capture Blackwater, and then go north to attack your main force, and this time, they may join Joey in attacking you.

I suggest you abandon Blackwater, concentrate your forces, capture the Fortress of the North Wind as fast as you can, and then capture the Holy Helm City to the east, only then can you avoid the enemy's flanks. ”

"It's worthy of the genius in the mouth of the mentor, and I actually thought of this strategy, but it was just ...... The fortress of the north wind is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and I fear that my army will suffer heavy losses. ”

"It's much better to lose a lot of money than to annihilate the whole army. ”

Of course, Cross has a better strategy, but he can't say, especially not in front of Reinhardt, that everything he showed today is to make Reinhardt let down his guard against him, and he wants Reinhardt to know that he is not as powerful as rumored, nor can he be called a military wizard, and he is still too far from Reinhardt.

Moreover, this strategy has a fairly high success rate.

This strategy amounts to a surprise attack, which the enemy cannot predict, especially Joey. He would never have expected that Reinhardt would suddenly target the Borean Fortress, and Joey would suffer huge losses under Reinhardt's attack, and Reinhardt would also suffer a lot of damage, so that Cross would have more opportunities.

Reinhardt thought for a moment and then said, "Your Excellency is right.

However, there is a big loophole in this strategic plan, and that is the army of the Kingdom of Seatta, their army is marching quite fast, and I am afraid that before I can take the fortress of the north wind, they have already come behind my army. ”

"What do you mean, Lord Earl?"

"Can you help me contain the Seajarta army, if you are willing, then Blackwater Town is yours. ”

A smile immediately appeared on Cross's face, and this smile of his was for Reinhardt.

Cross knew very well that if the Seatta army wanted to attack Blackwater, it would be easy, and the army of 3,000 people was no joke, Blackwater would definitely not be able to hold it.

But Cross just wants to show the greed of the villain to Reinhardt, and he wants Reinhardt to believe that Cross Klein can't be an atmosphere, but is just a villain.

In front of Reinhardt, Cross had to show his weaknesses with precision.
