Rick looked at the slender font on the edict, and suddenly felt a little affection and sympathy for the Queen who rushed himself out of Bowent. He barely corrected his spirit. Rick said: "Then, what do you want to deal with the commander and the chief of staff? To be honest, I am not very good at this. When will the enemy's legion come to the fortress?"

Sha Tuoman suddenly stood up and said, "My idea is very simple. As long as we capture these spies in one net and arrest all relevant personnel, the Shenfeng Fortress will restore its previous unity. No matter how many enemies are, they are not our opponents. When Wei Mang was still serving in the Shenfeng Fortress, we used 5,000 people to resist the attacks of the 50,000 enemy legion of the enemy's legion for twenty consecutive days. Therefore, please order the Lord to detain all spies immediately.' Two ten thousand cavalry who had been through the battle formation grew up and stood up, deeply agreeing with the thundering methods proposed by Sha Tuoman.

'No, this is definitely not possible!' Cabri said excitedly: 'We don't know how many people are spies now, and there is no reason to detain all commanders in one breath, which can easily arouse the suspicion of ordinary soldiers below. Moreover, the enemy may pass through Xiangcheng to attack the fortress at any time. Now, it is impossible to do such stupid things. This is undoubtedly causing trouble for ourselves. Now the spies want to provoke conflicts between the people and our garrison army, and they also want us to do such things. Therefore, I think it is better to be quiet than to move. After they quietly show their tails, we have a lot of reasons to catch them all in one go. As for the army coming from afar, it is not difficult to keep them out. As long as we pull out all the spies, it should not be a problem.'

Rick stretched out his hand, stopped the two of them, thought for a while, and asked: 'Is there any problem with the sergeant?'

One of the Wanqi Chiefs, Dake, replied: 'Except for one Qianqi Chief, who is a spy, everyone else is very reliable.'

Rick breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good, as long as there is no problem with the sergeant, everything is easy to handle. I have a plan now. But before I talk about this plan, I must ask you a few questions."

Everyone, including Wei Mang, looked at Rick, not knowing what good ideas he would have. However, based on politeness and subordinates' obedience to superiors, several people did not write their doubts on their faces, and of course, nodded almost at the same time to Rick's problem.

'As long as we figure out a few problems, we can wipe out the enemy completely while also pulling out all spies. The most important thing is that we don't have to spend too much effort.' Rick said with a smile: 'The first question is. Have you all been to Xiangcheng?'

Wei Mang glanced at four people who were hard to speak and replied considerately: "I must have been there. The middle-level officials in Shenfeng Fortress must have been to Xiangcheng, because Xiangcheng is now a semi-neutral city, and it is many times more prosperous than Shenfeng Fortress."

'That's good!' Rick said: 'Actually we can do this, because the enemy's legions have to pass through Xiangcheng before they can reach the fortress, so we can stir up panic in Xiangcheng, so that all the people in Xiangcheng know that there is a mysterious legion approaching Xiangcheng and intend to rob Xiangcheng. After doing this, although the four major mercenary groups in Xiangcheng will come out to explain, for ordinary merchants seeking safety, they would rather believe in their existence than not. At this time, we open the gate of the fortress and openly accept all the merchants from Xiangcheng.'

'What's the use of this?' Wei Mang asked in confusion. Of course, it was not only Wei Mang who was confused, but the other four people also stated their doubts.

'Of course it works,' Rick said confidently: 'As long as we have the right strategy, there will be problems in Xiangcheng soon, and the four major mercenary groups will certainly suspect each other, who leaked the news, so our opportunity comes.'

‘Opportunity? What opportunity?’ Cabrey suddenly felt that this method seemed good, so he asked immediately.

'You should all know? Xiangcheng and the surrounding areas should actually be considered the territory of the Blue Moon Empire.' Rick asked without answering, and everyone looked at Rick with a strange look, not knowing what Rick wanted to say. Rick looked at them proudly and said, 'Actually, before I came to the God-Feng Fortress, Her Majesty the Queen had already rewarded me with all the lands except the God-Feng Fortress, including Xiangcheng as my personal territory.'

‘How is this possible?’ said Cabrey excitedly: ‘Her Majesty has never given any nobles a reward to the territory so far.’

Rick smiled proudly and said, "I can show you the edict tomorrow, but the plan I want to talk about now has a lot to do with this."

‘What exactly does the Marquis want to do?’ Shatuman is obviously just a general rather than a qualified commander. Rick looked at Shatuman who was unknown and his eyes flashed with doubt, but Wei Mang, who was a little excited, and said: ‘My thought is that when there is a problem with Xiangcheng and many people from Xiangcheng flow to the Shenfeng Fortress, I will bring some people to take Xiangcheng in the name of Her Majesty the Queen! Although there are four mercenary troops in Xiangcheng now, with the strength of our garrison army, to suppress these four mercenaries, it should be

It's easy, not to mention that there seems to be a mercenary with Wei Mang. Or, I will take some people to Xiangcheng directly, and then we will spread such a message ourselves, and wait until the people in Xiangcheng are in a hurry, and then come forward to accept Xiangcheng. In short, I want the people in Xiangcheng to be scared to death first, and then find a big hope. This will affect the mood again and again. In addition, there is no legitimate manager in Xiangcheng now, so we should be able to succeed. The key question is just how to negotiate with the four mercenary corps.’

'It is true that this is true, but what is the use of this?' Shatuman asked: 'Before this, Xiangcheng was indeed under the management of Shenfeng Fortress, but in the end, in an isolated Xiangcheng, we had no way to resist the continuous attacks of several countries, and we would eventually retreat to the fortress.'

Rick laughed and said while laughing: "Our current purpose is not to take back Xiangcheng City, but to create such an atmosphere so that everyone, including the two deputy commanders and two aides, thinks that the empire is going to expand outward. In this way, the mysterious legion that wants to attack the fortress will definitely think that this is a good opportunity to fall from the sky, and then use the fortress to become a mess, bypass Xiangcheng to attack the fortress. When we are prepared, such a legion will fall into a situation where the fortress is insurmountable. If we advance, there is a fortress that is difficult to overcome. If we retreat, there is a fortress to block the way. As long as we cooperate properly, we can completely wipe out these enemies."

After a pause, Rick saw the question in Shatuman's eyes and continued: "Of course, if this legion intends to attack Xiangcheng, we are even more eager to do so, because if we do so, the four mercenary groups in Xiangcheng will inevitably unite to resist foreign enemies. I can make a profit from it. As long as Xiangcheng closes the city gate, with its current strength, it is not a big problem to resist for one or two months. Because of Xiangcheng's special situation, if they want to attack Xiangcheng, they will also encounter public opinion pressure between countries. At that time, we can spread rumors, what is the Karinkel Empire to swallow Xiangcheng, and what is the Xiuka Kingdom to turn Xiangcheng into its own territory. No matter how ridiculous the rumors are, there will definitely be people who believe it. By then, the Shenfeng Fortress Legion can take the initiative to attack. The fortress is only fifty miles to Xiangcheng, and its momentum is a horn. Whether it is a problem to achieve success or defense!'

Cabrey suddenly said: "The strategy is very good, and we have to cooperate with us to accept Xiangcheng with legitimate reason. When the northern countries restrain each other, it is not impossible to take back Xiangcheng. But now there is less than half of the fortress legion, with more than 20,000 people. If the spy is removed, it may be only a little over 20,000. We have no idea how many people there are in the enemy's mysterious legion. If we rashly divide the troops, I am afraid that both sides will fail. After all, Xiangcheng is also a big city."

Rick smiled mysteriously and said, "About these two aspects, the chief of staff can rest assured that I have my own way. Basically, I don't need to use the fortress's garrison power. As long as I have a name, I can take over Xiangcheng by relying on the three hundred soldiers under my command."

‘How is this possible?’ Another one of the two 1000 cavalry commanders, Krugi, said in a speechless voice: ‘The four mercenary groups in Xiangcheng, each of which has a scale of more than 5,000 people. How can one accept Xiangcheng by relying on three hundred soldiers alone?’

Rick smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, sir, I will set out to Xiangcheng City in two days. The affairs in the fortress will be held by the commander and my chief of staff. Remember to secretly monitor their every move and capture them at any time. We still need their external teleportation situation now."

After exchanging glances with Shatuman, Cabri said, "Since Lord Marquis said that, we will naturally follow the order."

After Rick led Wei Mang away, the remaining four senior officers from the fortress did not leave, but continued to discuss the next action.

Kruge first said: "I think this little guy is too bragging. He wants to take the Xiangcheng City with just three hundred people and also has to take on the task of intercepting the enemy's legion's retreat. It's simply a joke. Even if these three hundred people are all warriors with magic beasts, it is impossible to do it. If there is any regular army that attacks the fortress, there will be less than 50,000 people? Three hundred to 50,000, I'm afraid that even a knight charge can't be resisted."

'It sounds impossible!' Cabri said calmly: 'But I intuitively feel that this Count is not an ordinary person. He has a sense of confidence in his words that is difficult to refute. But even if it cannot be realized, it doesn't matter. As long as we pull out all the spies, the fortress will still be solid.' (To be continued...)
