Chapter 1090 (2/2)
Looking around at Lucian, Weber and little Joad around him, the black haired wizard proposed: ”this matter is very important, so I decided to raise your hands fairly.”
Almost at the moment when the voice fell, little Joad immediately rolled his eyes.
”I don't understand the war, but if you don't just want to use the survivors, we must take the initiative!” little priest Weber raised his head and looked at Lauren with firm eyes:
”Now the name of the black Duke has spread all over West Saxony, and all the survivors of the brave resistance are singing 'the black Duke is back' - so respond to their voice and let them see hope, Loren!”
The dark haired wizard nodded slightly and turned his eyes to the other two.
”No matter what you decide, Lucian will let you drive.” the grey pupil boy said firmly, with a burning fire in his silver pupil:
”If you want to wave a sharp blade, please give orders, Lord Loren!”
The dark haired wizard nodded.
”Although I know this question is pure nonsense, I still want to insist on asking...”
Little Joad had a helpless expression: ”is it useful if I clearly object?”
”This is a discussion. Of course you can object. I respect everyone's opinions, including yours.”
”Well, then I object,” said little Joad without hesitation.
Loren nodded again with a calm expression: ”well, it seems that we have reached a consensus - since everyone agrees, let's take the initiative to fight. Next is the key battle plan...”
Little Joad turned his white eyes with an expression of ”I knew it was so”.
”First of all, it is the strength comparison between us and the enemy.” the black haired wizard said in a deep voice: ”yes, so far our plan has been very successful, but because of this, the enemy we have to face is also very strong.”
”If the information is correct, they have gathered at least 20000 to 30000 troops - with more than a thousand Bain knights, we still have a chance of winning, but there is a big difference in defeating, defeating and even annihilating the enemy.”
The dark haired wizard with a deep voice has a detailed map in his mind.
”The blockade areas in the West and south of the Azores retreated with great strides, and the army began to move closer to the army encircling and attacking the city - this must be a team stretching for miles, and may even carry a large number of prisoners and baggage.”
”In order to shrink troops from various strongholds, the main March route must be along Empire Avenue, but large and small teams will fill all paths and normal roads, just like streams flowing into rivers.”
”So we must cut off, block or chase this huge team at a key position, force the Azores to turn around and fight with us, and even rush at us recklessly.”
At this point, Loren simply opened the map, pulled out a bright silver sword and nailed it at the South Gate of the imperial capital Golovin.
”Rodriya Azor's siege camp is in the south of the capital, which is close to the gem river. It should have been his logistics base; if the enemy wants to shrink the blockade, it will move closer to the south.”
”What we have to do is to stop the retreating army before it has the opportunity to get close to the siege army, and then wait for the reaction of the imperial capital.”
”Wait for the emperor's reaction... What's next?”
”Then we have to be flexible.” the dark haired wizard looked at little Yod: ”this is just a general plan. Is there anything to ask?”
”Yes, but I think even if you ask, it's just a pile of nonsense.” little Yod didn't have a good way: ”but I still want to say, how are you sure the enemy will follow your idea?”
”They don't need to follow my ideas. They just need to follow their own ideas.” Loren shook his head: ”of course, there will be some risks, but...”
”But for the Empire, for those who believe in the Empire, for those survivors who stand up bravely because of us, any risk is worth it!” Weber said solemnly:
”If we can win the first war and annihilate this enemy outside the city, it will be a heavy blow to the Azores who besiege the imperial capital; the safety of the imperial capital will be alleviated, and the originally desperate imperial people will see the hope of victory, which is very important!”
”No matter how important it is, it is not as important as us - of course, especially the life of Duke Byrne!”
Little Joad, with a cold hum, looked at the dark haired wizard's eyes and made a final dying struggle: ”Lord Loren, I know what you're going to do.”
”But with all due respect, the Empire... Or the imperial nobles do not like the name 'black Duke', nor do they like the benefactors or any non imperial saxophone; even if you really win, don't expect their approval.”
”It may even be the opposite, because you have won such a brilliant victory, they will start to target and even persecute you - if you still want their cooperation, it is definitely not a good choice!”
”Believe me, it's not even possible, it's certain!” young Joad asserted.
The voice fell, and the dark haired wizard quietly looked at little Joad, who was breathing a little fast. He looked indifferent, as if he had guessed that he would say so long ago.
”You're right. If you want to get the assistance and recognition of the imperial nobles, this is actually the worst option.” after a pause, Loren changed his words:
”But... Who said to get their approval?”
”Hmm? But you don't want to...”
”To get the control of the imperial city defense... Yes, but not according to their meaning, let alone under their acquiescence or control.” Loren's mouth gradually showed a sneer:
”I want to make them fear and fear, and then understand who they can breathe and thank; in fact, I don't care about fighting a civil war in the imperial capital when there are Azores outside the imperial capital.”
”As for Brandon... Well, I guess he might be happy to see his success. After all, this kind of 'dirty work' is always bad for his reputation. It's better for me to do it.”
Looking at the dark haired wizard's indifferent face, little Joad couldn't help shivering.
Really... Is it because it's been so long that I almost forget that the Duke of Byrne in front of me has never been a ”kind-hearted” person!
Little Joad seriously suspected that Loren's purpose of looking for himself was not to ease the relationship with the imperial aristocrats, but because his status as the leader of the chamber of commerce could help him better blackmail and threaten and make some guys shut up.
”Send the demon hunter, inform lanmallos and regrell, and let them lead the soldiers to assemble at the designated place after completing the task.” Loren looked at Lucian aside:
”The layout is finished. It's time to close the network.”
