Chapter 309 (2/2)
At the moment, William will be so tired that he looks decadent. He hasn't even slept for three days. It's not because of territory and military affairs, but a magical communication from Sean.
Sean set out this time with the magic communication stone given by Andrew. The greatest advantage of this secret stone is that it can carry out remote communication without distance limitation. Of course, the premise is that it has sufficient magic. This is much better than the magic communication tools sold by the magic guild, and there is no need to be afraid of being eavesdropped.
The content of this magical communication from Sean was not complicated. William soon found out the information of the wilderness and some matters about the gorge rift valley. According to Sean's letter, he needs reinforcements, but although William has made clear Sean's purpose and plan, he can't make an appropriate decision immediately.
At this moment, William is presented with a huge map.
Anyone familiar with panda collar, Dayi collar and chilav collar can recognize at a glance that there are extremely detailed signs in these three territories on this map, which are completely accurate to one town and one village, and even some terrain that can serve as ambush points and strategic points are marked in detail, and they are distinguished by different colors. However, in addition, a large area around is completely blank, and occasionally some places are painted with a few descriptions or marks. However, compared with the internal details of the three territories, these places can be said to be very rough - even the word ”brief” can not be described.
William's fingers beat slowly and rhythmically on the map, and his eyes fell on the small flagpole standing on the map.
Every flagpole represents an army.
Now there are eight small flagpoles on the map, but before that, there were only three, Alfred, Rena and the white wing mercenary regiment.
At this time, there are three small flagpoles on the chilav collar, and there is also one between the chilav collar and panda town. On the map, there is one at the position of void City, one at Dayi collar, one at Hongye town and one at panda town.
William also held a small flagpole in his hand.
After a long time, William finally sighed helplessly and reached out to insert the small flagpole into a large blank on the map.
Almost at the same moment when William inserted the small flagpole, there was a sound of footsteps behind him.
Accompanied by the sound of footsteps, there was a thick voice: ”I heard you were looking for me?”
”Yes.” William nodded and turned to look at the middle-aged man standing in front of him - former comrade in arms and now subordinate, clough.
Croft has not changed much from the past. His mental outlook is obviously much better than before. His black heavy armor was specially tailored later. In terms of texture, it is naturally much better than Croft's previous equipment. On the issue of territorial armaments, both Sean and William attach great importance to it. Even though they are still wary of clough and his army, William and Sean have not withheld their military funds and still give them treatment equal to strength and status.
”I thought you would always hide me and let us be a castle guard.” Clough glanced at the nine flagpoles inserted on the map. He and William were former comrades in arms. Naturally, he had heard about some of his habits. Therefore, it is not difficult to guess William's plan, ”say, what hard work, hard work and dirty work do you want us to do?”
”There is indeed a hard work.” William didn't care about clough's sarcasm, he said bluntly.
”Target.”
”Wild land.” William said faintly, ”the master you swore allegiance to is now facing a threat to his life.”
Clough's pupils showed a sense of killing, and the whole person's momentum burst out, but the momentum was almost immediately pressed down by him, because he saw a figure in the shadow corner on the left in the tent - a figure sitting on the coffin. Clough knew that when he entered the tent, he could sweep around the corner and found no one. At the moment, the figure suddenly appeared, so the situation was obvious.
”The strength of the opponent.” Croft asked in a deep voice.
”A powerful man of gold, about 100 armed mobile soldiers.” William threw a letter to clough. ”There are detailed information I sorted out. Should you and your army have no problem?”
”You look down on me.” Clough took the envelope and glanced up at William. ”If it's just a subordinate gold, it won't pose a threat to me and my troops, although the casualties may be heavier...”
”After this battle, your troops will be officially supplemented.” William said calmly, ”I'm going to expand your army to 1000 people. As for how your army should be trained, it's your business. I won't intervene, but I hope you don't forget the original agreement with the Lord.”
”When do you start?”
”Your guide is waiting for you outside.”
Without saying anything more, clough turned and left the tent.
After William watched clough leave, he turned and looked again at the map on the table, then pulled up a small flagpole and inserted it into another position. After thinking for a moment, William pulled up the second flagpole again, then moved to a position on the map and re inserted it. Only then did William nod with satisfaction.
Beth looked at the map drawn by William, looked at the distribution of flags on it, and whispered, ”you're really cautious.”
”I can't help it. Lord, my family is too small now. I can't handle it carelessly.”
”If the nobles of dabion knew that such a map and these nine flagpoles were spread on your table, I'm afraid they would assassinate you at all costs.”
”These nine flagpoles are enough for me to play a big game of chess.”
