However, Aranza discovered that the soul-sensing ability made Old Follett and Kim Gates' anxiety reach the point where they would fall ill if they were not resolved. As expected, more than three and a half days was indeed too long for a revolution.
some.
But he only frowned slightly and said, "Well, don't worry, let's go to the conference room first and then talk slowly."
Hearing this, Old Follett and Kim Gates both breathed a sigh of relief and led Aranza into a small conference room that had not been damaged in the previous war.
He just found a seat and sat down, but Aranza waved his hand to interrupt the two people who were about to speak, saying: "Well, let me guess what the problem is. There is something unusual about the reorganization of the army. Those guys from the Lions
Are you unwilling to submit to us?"
"No……"
Kim Gates opened his mouth, he hesitated, and finally decided to follow Aranza's idea, saying: "There are indeed some soldiers of the Lion Legion who are unwilling to submit to us, but they are only a minority... We have decided to settle these people.
Convicting them of clan crimes and punishing them with death... This decision, on the one hand, is to seal their silence, on the other hand, it is to confirm their charges and push the Norland Army to the aboveboard side."
"Well, you did a good job."
Aranza praised first, and then continued to ask: "Since the trouble for the army is within us, Grandpa Follett, are the collateral bloodlines in the Black Chain Castle unable to bear it?"
At this time, Old Follett and Kim Gates looked at each other. They both noticed that His Highness the Prince had changed again, but this change was still not mature enough in the eyes of the two of them.
Old Follett coughed and said: "No... I don't think the side clan has any intention of rebelling. Moreover, the surviving elders in the Presbyterian Church all expressed their approval for Miss Elita Lane to take the position of head of the family... to them
To us, the battle for Black Key Castle is just an internal fight within the family, and these little and big foxes are not lacking in the ability to navigate the wind."
Aranza then frowned more tightly and said: "I really can't think of, well, other than these, what other problems would there be... Could there be another blind guy launching a war against the Lane family?"
"In fact, the so-called accident is what we don't expect, isn't it?"
Old Follett didn't mind that he was now an elder and asked Aranza, saying, "There are indeed some blind people... This is the problem we encountered."
"What about the legions of the Ryan family outside? Do they plan to watch?"
Hearing this, Old Follett showed a wry smile. This wry smile made him feel as if he had aged several years for a moment. He said: "Those guys who don't open their eyes are these... legions that the family has spread out."
This answer surprised Aranza, but he was also puzzled. In his opinion, the fact that the legions had previously stood still showed that they also regarded the battle for Black Key Castle as an internal struggle for sovereignty within the family. Based on this, they
The most correct and reasonable thing to do after the Battle of Black Key Castle is to wait for the family's call and then send representatives to swear allegiance to the new master.
This approach is also their only option.
"What's going on?" Aranza finally stopped beating around the bush and asked sharply.
Old Follett took a deep breath and slowly explained: "We have prepared the inauguration ceremony for the new head of the family, and issued a summons to each legion, requiring them to send representatives to attend the ceremony within the time limit and swear allegiance to the new head. However,
...Except for Viscount Troxi, who was clearly willing to be loyal, the commanders of the other legions rejected our call."
"Trothy?"
The familiar name made Aranza's body tremble.
Old Follett did not know the relationship between Aranza and Trothy, and immediately explained: "Viscount Trocy's talent in commanding the legion is outstanding, and she is also the only person who has taken the position of commander of the legion by virtue of her commanding art.
, the commanders of the other legions mostly rose to the position by virtue of their own combat prowess."
Aranza nodded and said, "Well, what are those guys who refused the order planning to do?"
"That's the trouble we're in."
All of Old Follett's emotions turned into helplessness at this moment, saying: "They...since they refused the summons, they naturally rejected Miss Elita as the new head of the family...According to the information we received, they have elected Modre
The commander of the German army, the Iron-Blooded Marquis, is the new head of the family, and..."
"and."
In the end, it was Kim Gates who spoke. He was responsible for all matters related to the war. Naturally, he knew much more information than Old Follett. He immediately said: "Moreover, all the major legions have left their garrison and gathered in
The Solomon State in the southern part of Dirna State was originally the territory of the founding king. Now that Alpha Lane is dead, it has become a terra incognita. The Iron-Blooded Marquis took over the place and has publicly stated that he will use force to
, to forcibly seize the position of the new head of the Lane family."
Kim Gates also spread out a hand-drawn map. On the map, Dirna State is adjacent to Solomon State. If the Iron-Blooded Marquis launches a war, he only needs to drill all the way north, and he can reach Anais in up to seven days.
In addition, due to the problem of troop depletion, the actual defense of Dirna State today is very weak. In other words, the time when the Iron-Blooded Marquis reaches the Arnest Valley will definitely be much faster than expected. As for how much faster, it will be
It's hard to estimate.
Aranza stared at the map, but deep down in his heart were shock, anger, and admiration. Three different emotions were entangled together. In his opinion, what the Iron-Blooded Marquis did was a huge gamble!
But Aranza couldn't help but become another gambler in this huge gamble.
In addition to the Red Sharp Legion under Viscount Troxi, who were willing to be loyal to the new head of the family, the Iron-Blooded Marquis gathered all the other legions of the Lane family in Solomon State. This meant that where these legions were originally stationed, the rest of the legions had been suppressed.
All the forces and legions are free at this time!
The Iron-Blooded Marquis is not only betting on the position of the new head of the Lane family, but also on all the interests of the Lane family. Regardless of whether he seizes this position, soon, the new head of the family must face a cruel fact - whether they still have it.
Ability once again clamps down on these freed families.
And if these families want to intervene in the war initiated by the Iron-Blooded Marquis, the entire gambling situation will be full of uncontrollable factors.
"madman!"
In the end, Aranza could only use this time to evaluate the Iron-Blooded Marquis who broke into view. He tapped his fingers on the table, thinking about a response strategy, and asked: "How many people are there on the other side?"
Kim Gates trembled a little and replied: "Nearly two hundred thousand..."
This number made Aranza unable to even think about scolding her. An army of two hundred thousand, no matter where it was placed, would be an irresistible force.
"How many of us are there?"
Due to the mobilization of various legions by the Iron-Blooded Marquis, Viscount Troxi's Red Sharp Legion was unable to reach its defense and fell into a situation surrounded by other family legions. Therefore, Viscount Troxi had to mobilize a single red sharp legion to go
Arnest Valley assists in defense. Calculating the time, we can reach our destination in a few days.
Therefore, counting the soldiers of the Red Sharp Legion and all the soldiers left behind in the Arnest Valley, Aranza has only 40,000 people at his disposal.
Forty thousand versus two hundred thousand. In the absence of special combat units, these numbers are not comparable at all.
Aranza sighed, and then said: "Where is Yvette, have the modifications to the war magic machine been completed?"
"It's done."
Kim Gates obviously has not forgotten this power, saying: "There are a total of four hundred humanoid war magic machines. We named this batch of war magic machines 'Titan's Teeth'. Counting the two hundred Alice War Bears, currently
There are a total of six hundred war magic machines stationed in the Arnest Valley, but... the drivers of Titan Fang are all newcomers, and some of them have only received less than two days of driving lessons. Therefore, Titan Fang
I’m afraid it’s difficult to guarantee our combat power.”
"We need more troops." Aranza said coldly.
This is the most intuitive and most urgent problem to solve.
There is one thing that neither Aranza, nor Old Follett, nor Kim Gates have talked about in a tacit understanding, but it is the higher-end combat power, the strong man in the sanctuary.
Excluding the special case of Troxi, the commanders of all the legions of the Lane family are all saints. The deputy legions of a few legions are even saints. In other words, the combined army under the Iron-Blooded Marquis has all the saints.
There are close to ten strong men from the domain, but on Aranza's side, there are only three strong men from the holy domain, Chenxi, Karu, and the newly joined Lee Tyrell. Counting Aranza, a character with unknown combat power, there are only four.
people.
Regardless of high-end combat power or ordinary combat power, Aranza is inferior to the Iron-Blooded Marquis.
A flash of irritation flashed through Aranza's thoughts. She couldn't control her strength for a moment, and the chair under her body suddenly cracked into powder. This was not the first time, so that Old Follett and Kim Gates had already
He got used to it and pulled out a chair for him to sit down on.
Aranza's mood suddenly improved, and he stretched out his hand and clenched his fist. With his body like that of a senior Saint Realm expert, it might not be difficult to deal with a group of junior Sanctuary Realm powerhouses.
Then, the main problem is to be pushed back to ordinary combat power.
Kim Gates had already thought of a countermeasure and immediately asked: "Your Highness, should we... mobilize the troops from Kay State?"
"no."
Aranza shook his head decisively and replied: "Well, to me, Kay State is much more important than Black Chain Castle. It is a seed. As long as the seed is still there, we are not afraid of not having a chance to turn around. So,
Grandpa Follett, it would be best to postpone Elita's inauguration ceremony to tomorrow, first confirm her position as the head of the family, and then send a notice to all the branches in the family, asking them to take them into their hands within two days.
The private troops moved to the Arnest Valley and told them that they could refuse to send troops, but we will remember this account."
"in addition……"
Aranza's voice was still hesitant, but suddenly turned decisive and said: "Prepare an airship for me."
"Where to go?"
"This is your business."
But Aranza said: "I want to find the patriarch of the Tulip family. Wherever she is, I will go."
"What do you mean..." Old Follett and Kim Gates had already guessed the answer, but they still asked in unison.
There was an unquestionable firmness in the voice of the son of the King of Heroes as he answered: "Yes, I want to cooperate with them!"
