Chapter 787 (1/2)
Loren sat quietly at the map table, his fingers crossed and his hands pressed on the edge, meditating and studying the situation under his eyes.
The choice of silver helmet mountain dwarves was not unexpected, but it was also a surprise - the dwarves in Yunling kingdom were loyal to a Duke of Byrne, not to mention the Dukes of all dynasties, even the knight kings of all dynasties.
These dwarves must have their own calculations and interests, but Loren doesn't care; It is a sure business to get the loyalty of the whole silver helmet mountain and a strong reinforcement.
It doesn't matter how many dwarf allegiances and armies you can get.
If the number is small, the purpose of bluffing has been achieved;
If we can really have an army, we can also confuse the fake with the real and pull up a ”silver helmets mountain corps” to deter the Centaur army that surrounds the main force of Boyi.
At the same time, they lost the core of the upper organization and a large number of young people who can fight. Even if there are left dwarves, they can't pose any threat to themselves. There's no need to worry about being attacked by the enemy when facing the Centaur.
This is also one of the main reasons why Loren will promise the dwarf mikhailo... Even if he is down and out, there are still tens of thousands of dwarves left in silver helmet mountain; Once they are really determined to retaliate against Bain barracks, the trouble will be unimaginable.
At this moment, Loren suddenly understood why those ”historical figures” in his previous life would rather be dragged down than endure evil allies.
Even if their combat effectiveness is negative, it can at least ensure that you can concentrate on dealing with the enemy in front of you, rather than being interrupted again and again, or even falling into the tragic situation of multi-line siege.
”Do you really believe him?”
A calm voice came from the side of the body.
”It has nothing to do with whether I believe it or not.”
The black haired wizard shook his head and didn't look at the figure of the comer. His eyes remained on the map: ”we need the dwarves of silver helmet mountain to stand on our side. Isn't that what we said long ago, ike?”
”Yes, but I think they must have other reasons, not just what the dwarf mikheilo said.” the count of fury Castle frowned, and even so he remained respectful:
”Duke, I have absolute confidence in you. There have been dwarves loyal to the knight king in history, and even dwarven knights who have served the knight king for several generations, but... Tens of thousands of dwarves in the whole silver helmet mountain are too...”
”Don't be so nervous, Ike.” Lauren waved his hand and couldn't help laughing. ”I still know how much weight I have.”
Long Aotian, Wang Bazhi's Qi, upside down, such terror
With these golden thighs and the aura of the protagonist, I wouldn't have been so miserable in the past few years. I was called around and nearly died several times.
When others finish the task, they get the experience artifact gift bag. Only they are one after another, endless conspiracy traps, evil gods with evil intentions, and time bombs that will explode at any time.
Comfortable and leisurely, like online games, full of happy adventures, happy and beautiful daily life... Lauren was completely desperate for it in the two years when he wandered with old knight Leonardo Turin.
Shaking his head to get rid of his thoughts, Lauren straightened his mind again.
”The dwarves of silver helmet mountain lost their fortress and could not afford the casualties of recapturing the Fortress - in this case, what would happen if they were subdued by the dwarf's supreme king?”
”It's hard to say, but...” Eckert raised his eyebrows and hesitated: ”at least it's not to help them recapture the fortress and give it back to them - the supreme king will never give up such a good opportunity to strengthen the strength of cloud peak and control all fortresses in the kingdom.”
”So whatever the outcome, they will become prisoners of the supreme king.” Loren shrugged. ”At this time, even allegiance to a Duke of Byrne has become a good choice.”
The count of fury Castle frowned slightly.
”Maybe they are really lucky, maybe they just want to rely on Byrne, so that the supreme king can't dismember them and use us to get through the current difficulties.” Loren breathed out and slowly raised his eyes:
”Either way, in the next battle, they must stand on our side in order to ensure that the independence of the silver helmets will not be violated.”
”That's why I trust them - not words and promises, but practical interests; what I can offer is what others can't or won't give, so they must bear the price silently.”
”No matter how much we have to pay, as long as we can make a dwarf army of silver helmet mountain appear on the battlefield against the centaurs, it is successful... Only by grasping every chance can we have hope to win.”
Ike nodded and closed his mouth.
Of course he knows.
The dwarf of silver helmet mountain is the joint decision of himself and the Duke. He just wants the Duke to deal with it rationally.
The key to this war is still the Centaur.
According to the trusted Boyi cavalry, the Centaurs besieged them on the grassland for four days and four nights, and they killed all the deserters, reinforcements and supply teams transporting supplies.
Eckert came to the conclusion that the Centaurs besieged the main force of Boyi, but the main energy was focused on preventing them from escaping and foreign reinforcements.
Why?
When centaurs invade the great green sea, their first goal should be to completely eliminate the effective forces in the great green sea; It's understandable to encircle but not attack... It's very puzzling.
Don't they understand that as long as the main force of Boyi is eliminated, the remaining troops can't have any impact on their invasion and occupation of the green sea? Even if the Empire wants to intervene, it is not something that can be done immediately.
Round up for help? Of course not. The premise of the rescue is that the enemy must be saved. They can destroy the essence of Poe at the moment. Do they need to put the hunting target on the other side?
No, of course they know, otherwise they would not choose to fight with Archduke Varna - so what is the reason for not destroying the boyans and encircling but not attacking?
Unless... They have other purposes.
Silent, Eckert looked sideways at the dark haired wizard contemplating the map.
Loren Turin, who fainted in the silver helmet mountain fortress four days ago, has basically recovered. He can't even see that he has been seriously injured and unconscious except that he looks a little pale.
Loren Turin, his own Duke... Does he know?
Or he already knew, but refused to tell others for some reason - like the battle of silver helmet mountain, it was not as simple as it seemed.
Just when he hesitated to ask, a beautiful figure passed in front of him, generating wind step by step.
”Dang --!”
With a flash of white light, the bright saber was nailed to the map table; Loren subconsciously looked up at the man behind the knife.
Salika Jonah.
The girl with her braided hair behind her head held her shoulders and her expression was unprecedented cold, even to the point of losing the battle with Qianzhang city that day.
”That, that... I want to stop her...”
The little wizard with an uneasy expression followed him, and he was at a loss as if he wanted to admit his mistake; The dark haired wizard smiled at her and quietly made a gesture that it didn't matter. Ayn was relieved.
”When do you start?”
Boye's question was concise and clear.
