Chapter 1026 (2/2)
Dalton nodded slightly, looked at the glacier wasteland in the distance immersed in the night, and silently turned and walked down the stairs.
”Lord Dalton!”
Seeing that the other party was leaving, Lucian, who kept his words in his heart, couldn't help shouting at the other party and asked with a tangled look:
”Why can you guess that Alexandra will leave?”
Dalton stopped, looked back silently and glanced at Lucian:
”Because I know.”
This incomprehensible ”answer” makes the expression of the grey pupil boy more tangled.
”When there is a chance to live, no one wants to be killed - even if they know it's a trap, they will jump in to win a glimmer of hope.”
After meeting with Ruth infinite, Dalton Kande's biggest change is that he began to be willing to patiently explain the reason to others: ”if we don't explain to her, maybe she will hesitate; but when we have a showdown, there are only two choices left for her.”
”Die, or live; she doesn't want to die, so she will definitely choose the latter.”
”But it doesn't make sense!” continued Lucian. ”I... I'm not saying how brave she is, but she's really not afraid of death!”
”Not afraid of death and wanting to die are two different concepts.” Dalton kand shook his head. ”What is the purpose of the Azores to launch this war?”
”Er... For the sake of life and death?”
It took a lot of effort for Lucian to recall this sentence from his mind.
”In other words, survival or death is also a very important thing in the eyes of the Azores - they are no different from humans in this point.” Dalton whispered:
”So the universal truth for human beings is the same as that for elves; as long as it is possible to continue to live, as long as they have not lost their desire to survive, they will recklessly ensure that they are still alive.”
”What about the reason - since she knows it's a trap, what reason does she have to obey our ideas?”
Lucian still doesn't understand.
”Why?”
Dalton Kande's eyes coagulated and he thought of something. His expression was a little uncertain: ”Lucian... Human beings, no matter how they hide their emotions, nine tenths of all our actions are made by the desires and emotions generated by the body.”
”The reason placed on it can actually produce very limited changes; and its most frequent role is to provide a motivation or excuse for behavior.”
”So reason is a means used to deceive others or deceive oneself afterwards; as long as it is confirmed that a person's idea is still in line with a natural person's normal thinking and does not fall into a state of insanity...”
”The reason... Doesn't matter at all.”
With that, Dalton didn't care whether the gray pupil boy really understood, so he turned and left and walked down the stairs; after a full minute, the contemplative Lucian came back and kept up.
In the ”Castle hall” of the floating city, the black haired wizard is also making final preparations before departure.
”Because his majesty Connor must garrison the fortress of duanjieshan, I will be fully responsible for all the deployment of this war.”
Before the round table, Loren looked around at all the generals and commanders: ”if you have any needs and difficulties, please say it now.”
At the other end of the round table, everyone looked at each other.
The first to speak was Aton glenwell, Earl of stormcastle.
”What is the purpose of this war, just to establish a stable outpost and barracks near the blood skeleton Valley?”
”Yes... No.” Lauren nodded. ”We need to build two or three camps in the blood skeleton valley that can accommodate at least 3000 people and horses, cooperate with the Cape floating city to complete a large-scale investigation and determine the location of the Azor elf army.”
”Of course, this will certainly attract the enemy's attention, so we should be prepared to resist the enemy's siege; even when necessary, help duanjieshan fortress share some pressure to ensure that the fortress will not fall.”
”How many troops do we have?”
This is what the Earl of red blood Castle Eckert is most concerned about: ”in addition to Byrne's 5000 troops, floating city and red dragon grum, how many troops can we get from the fortress?”
”Emperor Conrad will provide us with two thousand legions, and so will Archduke Sarika Jonah, two thousand Hussars.” Lauren whispered:
”Of course, the price is that the wizards and alchemists we brought must leave a considerable part to help duanjieshan fortress, continue to strengthen defense, and provide logistical and medical support in wartime.”
Count Eckert nodded slowly, expressing no objection to the decision.
”In other words, the total number of troops dispatched this time is nearly 10000, of which 7000 are cavalry?” lanmalos, count of Lake City, frowned slightly: ”and it's still in the blood skeleton valley where there is no supply at all - in this case, our logistics is not very dangerous.”
”The floating city can store supplies for the whole army for a month.” Loren continued: ”the fortress of duanjieshan will form a baggage team of 500 people to carry supplies with sleds and carriages, and provide us with supplies once a day. The time is set every evening.”
The people's expression was slightly stunned, and then they understood that this was a trap to induce the elves to attack the baggage.
If they succeed, they will mistakenly think that the camp is out of food;
If it fails... The army of blood skeleton Valley can complete the previous task and get the information of the eagle king's army from the prisoners. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
”Er... I have a question.” Lucian, who just walked in, tentatively raised his right hand and looked at the black haired Wizard: ”if I remember correctly, it needs the cooperation of a large number of wizards and dwarf craftsmen to fully operate the floating city; how can we start the floating city if we lend the wizards to the fortress?”
”This...”
”It's not a problem at all, okay?!”
Before Loren finished, Isaac robbed and said, ”with me and AI... Ayn Rand, as long as there are seven or eight more potatoes - I mean wizards, it's enough. There's no need for so many people!”
But the dark haired wizard looked at him and shook his head.
”No, Isaac, you must stay at the fortress of duanjie mountain.”
”What?!”
”This is Conrad's request, but... In fact, I think so.” Loren calmly looked at Isaac: ”because the fortress of duanjieshan can't be lost, I can be more relieved if you stay.”
”But what can I do if I leave this ghost place?” Isaac didn't understand at all: ”those potatoes... I mean alchemists, who don't even understand what I said; the female Archduke of Boye? She's a little better than the female monkey; the cavalry captain of the fortress? If he can eat and drink water, I doubt whether he is a living man and Emperor connord...”
”It's Lena de sallion's cousin!” Lauren stared at him. ”In other words, it's your big cousin - and it gave you the title of knight and pressured Lena to marry your benefactor!”
After ten seconds of silence, Isaac finally vented his anger: ”well, I see - for Lina's sake, I'll try my best to help him defend the city.”
”Thank you.” with a sigh, Loren glanced at the crowd again:
”Then next, I'll arrange your tasks...”
