The combat plan formulated this time is divided into two parts: military and political. It is very large in terms of scale, covering almost the entire Liva Empire and most of the Sbia Empire. However, it also proposes extremely detailed plans for execution.
Requirements, any mistake in any link will directly affect the final result. Even with Cohen's eloquence, it was already midnight after he carefully explained to everyone.
As the specific executors of the combat plan, Moya, Mafa and Winterhal, although they are not very old, they are from Winterhal's family background. Moya and Mafa have Cohen's words and deeds, and they are all experienced in military affairs.
General. At this time, listening to Emperor Sbia's explanation, the three of them became more and more shocked, and the more they thought about it, the more excited they became. After clearly understanding their mission, they no longer wanted to have this dinner with Cohen, and left one after another. In the end,
, only little Princess Riva and Cohen were left to enjoy this sumptuous table of dishes.
Considering that Her Majesty the Little Princess has suffered a series of tragedies recently, His Majesty Cohen only chose some light-hearted topics during the conversation, hoping to make her a little happier.
But it has to be said that Emperor Sibia has richer personal emotions. He once had a heart-to-heart talk with the old Emperor Riva, and in his heart he regarded the old emperor as his old friend. The sudden death of the old emperor also affected Cohen's mood.
Small influence. When encountering such things, His Majesty Cohen is good at getting angry and killing people, but not very good at comforting people...
Seeing Cohen's efforts in persuading her, the little princess couldn't bear to live up to his good intentions and forced herself to smile a few times. This smile reflected in Cohen's black pupils revealed a sadness deeper than crying.
There is no doubt that the little princess Riva already treats Cohen as an older brother in her heart, but Cohen is the emperor of Sbia, and she represents the royal family of the Riva Empire. What's more, a large part of Cohen's close relationship with her is
Because of another person. So under this identity restriction, although Princess Berni trusts him unreservedly, she cannot show her weakest heart. Brother Cohen, after all, is not that person...
"Your Majesty, when I was in Liva, I also heard about the affairs in Sibia. I knew that Sibia's military resources were not very sufficient. These troops must not only maintain the defense of the demonic front, but also ensure the internal security of the country.
Stable..." After a long time, Princess Berni raised her doubts, "Where did the 100,000 troops dispatched by Your Majesty this time come from?"
"If someone else asks me, I can just ignore it, but to Your Highness, I will tell the truth." When Princess Berni asked this question, Cohen knew that she wanted to use state affairs to suppress her disordered mood, and secretly sighed in her heart.
He answered in a rare solemn tone, "Half of these 100,000 troops are from the Guards guarding the Holy Capital, and the other half are permanent troops from various parts of the empire.
"Why would your Majesty do this? These two armies must not be touched." Princess Berni was very surprised by Cohen's risky behavior. "Once there is something in Sbia, what will your Majesty do to calm down the matter in Riva?"
Although it is serious, our current foundation is in Sibia. His Majesty quickly called back the army to ensure that the domestic situation is urgent and the affairs of Riva can be postponed a little.
"Of course I know that we must prioritize domestic security. Who else knows the domestic situation better than me? Yes, there are many people in the country who are ready to take action, waiting for a good time to take action. I even know that they have everything ready.
Just wait for me to mobilize my troops here." After listening to Princess Berni's words, His Majesty Cohen smiled, "But I dare to guarantee with my head that they dare not move."
"Why?" Princess Berni was confused, "Your Majesty is sending troops away. Isn't it a good time for them to take action?"
"I haven't had time to tell you about this yet." Cohen picked up his wine glass, "Do you know why I came so late?"
"Mafa said that His Majesty was blocked in the country and was not allowed to escape."
"Yes, I was stuck in the country and was forced to write a lot of reporting documents." Cohen chuckled, "But the person who blocked me in the country was not a human being, but the great and wise special envoy of the Gods of Light - the little princess of the Gods.
grown ups!"
"My dear little princess of the God Clan?" Princess Berni was even more surprised, "You went to the Holy City? What did you do?"
"Of course the special envoy of the Gods came to the Holy Capital to teach me a lesson." Cohen gently shook the wine glass in his hand and whispered: "Your brother, I invaded the Demon Alliance, occupied two empires, and hosted a banquet for you.
There are so many demon temple priests, of course the Light God Clan will send special envoys to ask questions and take care of them... We can’t let me, Emperor Sbia, be too high-spirited!"
"What does the special envoy of the Gods have to do with the domestic situation?" Princess Berni has not yet learned the key to the matter.
"This thing is easy to say. As a special envoy, the little princess of the God Clan did not return to Paradise Island immediately after asking me for guilt or rewarding me. Instead, she stayed in the Holy City, saying she wanted to experience the current situation of the Sbia Empire."
Cohen replied with a relaxed expression, "Of course ordinary people will not know the whereabouts of the little princess of the God Clan, but those who are interested in causing trouble will definitely get wind of it. With such a special envoy staying in the Sbia Empire, who is not afraid of death?
Say something? Don’t say that I will mobilize half of the army here. I will mobilize all the troops in the country. During this period of time, the country will be pure and peaceful. In this case, I will be happy to send more troops.
Manpower comes over, the original plan was to only have 30,000 troops here."
"Although it can guarantee a moment of peace, but..." Princess Berni thought for a while and expressed her worries, "The little princess of the God Clan will not stay in the Holy City for no reason, right? What is her real thought? Isn't it right?
Will it be detrimental to His Majesty?"
"To be honest, I was very confused when I heard that the little princess of the God Clan came to Sbia. When I heard that she would stay in the Holy Capital for a while, I became even more confused. Behavior should reveal intentions, but my stupid head never thought of it.
What is the intention of the little princess of the God Clan?" Cohen sighed and put down the wine glass, "I know that the little princess always dislikes me and will not give me good things to eat when she comes to the Holy City, but what makes me wonder is that this sword
It's obviously hanging over my head, but it has never been cut off."
"Perhaps..." The extremely smart Princess Berni raised her head, "What is the little princess waiting for..."
"What are you waiting for?" Cohen spread his hands, "The little princess should know that if she stays in Sbia, nothing will happen in the country. If the demon coalition forces want to counterattack, it will take at least three months to prepare...
In such a situation, what will she wait for? Is it something about Riva? Something about Riva has already happened, and the little princess should have known about it earlier than me! "
"What the little princess is waiting for may not be these things, but another thing. In other words, she is waiting and promoting one thing to happen." Princess Berni thought while telling Cohen the result of her thinking, "
She is a special envoy, so this matter must be related to her. She is in the Holy City, and this matter must be related to His Majesty. Stay, stay, stay in the Holy City... This is a clear message to His Majesty. When this incident occurs
, Your Majesty will definitely go to see Her Royal Highness the little princess as soon as possible..."
"Listening to your analysis, there are really some elusive signs in this matter!" After listening to Princess Berni's analysis, Cohen couldn't help but nodded, "I will start from this point and try to figure it out as soon as possible.
, think of some preventive measures... in case something happens and you are not prepared enough. It's late, you should rest first! I'll think about it again."
"Okay, Your Majesty, please don't go to bed too late and pay attention to rest." Princess Berni got up. After running around for days, her body was really tired from the hard work. So, accompanied by the maid and the elf, she went to the room to rest.
Cohen stayed on the platform and thought for a while. Feeling impatient, he stood up and walked along the city wall.
It was windy and cold at midnight, and Cohen felt cold rarely, so he wrapped himself in a cloak.
"Your Majesty, it's better to be careful with yourself." On the wall in front, a strong figure saluted Cohen. It was Moya.
"It's okay, I'm just a little upset." Cohen smiled and said to Cao Ya: "Why don't you prepare military affairs in the camp?"
"According to His Majesty's battle plan, everything has been prepared." Moya replied, "I am worried about the defense of the fortress, so I will inspect it again."
"To be able to prepare everything in such a short period of time, you must have been prepared for this battle plan." Cohen walked up and looked at this childhood friend who was able to stand alone. "You have become a leading general, like inspecting defense.
Just let your subordinates do this kind of thing! A person's energy is always limited, and it is impossible to do every detail by yourself."
"We will be dispatching with the army soon. Once we confirm the defense around His Majesty, I can rest assured." Moya smiled honestly, showing his concern for Cohen in his heart.
"Your stubbornness is almost on par with our General Staff Officer, no, it should be on the same level as the dean of the college." Of course Cohen knew what Moya was thinking. Although Moya has always adhered to the etiquette of a monarch and his ministers, but
Emotionally, he protects himself as another younger brother. He is not as passionate as Helter, and the only way to show it is to do everything well. Compared with Moya, Helter is more like Cohen.
Brother, because the flamboyant Geert needs Cohen to do certain things for him.
"Moya, there's going to be a war again." Cohen and Caoya walked side by side on the city wall and asked softly: "What are you thinking?"
"I have no other ideas for fighting the war that needs to be fought." Moya answered directly without thinking about the first half of the sentence, but paused for the second half, "Your Majesty, you must also strengthen your belief in this war."
At any other time, or if the two people in the conversation were exchanged, such words would never have been produced, because it was equivalent to revealing the emperor's lack of belief in the war at hand. For a minister to speak like this to the emperor, it would be a sin to behead him.
That's enough. But Emperor Sibia smiled and nodded, frankly acknowledging Caoya's judgment, "You see that my belief is not strong enough?"
"Previous wars were fought against rebels and demons. Your Majesty had a reason to fight. But this time, it was directly targeted at the Liva Empire. Although the direct target was the rebels in Liva, the situation during the war
It is complex and the distribution of forces is intertwined. In the battle between you and me, the remaining power will inevitably affect the common people." Moya replied: "Although His Majesty did not reveal anything, there will be some hesitation in his heart.
Bar?"
"Yes, everyone's life is life. On the one hand, I keep saying that I don't treat civilians as nothing, but on the other hand, I launch wars one after another. How many people died because of my words and orders? Don't comfort me and say that there is no such thing.
The thing is, in the hundreds of thousands of Sbia troops, not every soldier is a good person, and things like rape, murder, and robbery will also occur." Cohen sighed softly again, "And what about me? But I want to take Riva again.
The prince's mistake was used as a bargaining chip to make him fall deeper and deeper. Although I said I would save him, could I save him? In the end, he might die without a burial place. In this war, Sibia, from top to bottom, can say that there is no
One is clean."
Moya looked at Cohen, who had a heavy look on his face, and knew that His Majesty had actually made up his mind, but still had some pain that was not enough to express to outsiders, so he hoped that his words would make His Majesty's pain less painful, "Why would Your Majesty use other people's mistakes to make things worse?"
Are you feeling uncomfortable? Everything has its pros and cons, and the outcome depends on how we choose. Ultimately, no one in Sibia knows what the future will be like, but I believe His Majesty has already thought of the future for us.
When the matter was halfway done, Your Majesty did not need to explain anything. The army, people, and empire followed Your Majesty. That is because everyone believed in the future that Your Majesty outlined for us."
"Do you really believe it?" Cohen chuckled and stopped, "Entrust your destiny to me?"
"I always believe." Moya stopped and said, "Your Majesty gave the Sibia Empire a will, so we all entrusted our destiny to this will. Doesn't this also include your Majesty's destiny?"
"It seems that you didn't read the books I lent you when you were a child in vain!" Cohen joked: "I am surprised that Moya knows these truths, but you have pretended to be someone who doesn't understand anything since you were a child.
Wood, wouldn’t it be a little too hard?”
"You don't have to tell what you know, because most people can't understand it and are unwilling to listen. Isn't that the same for Your Majesty?" Moya replied: "As long as Your Majesty knows what he is doing, it is enough. No need.
Explain it to anyone.”
"Moya, Moya, aren't you adding to my burden? In the past, I only had to take care of Sibia, but now, I have to add Riva." Cohen showed a wry smile, "This bullshit emperor should be
It’s really desolate, being framed by that guy was so miserable.”
"It's late, I bid farewell to Your Majesty." Seeing Cohen's heart melting, Moya's face returned to its usual dull expression, "Does Your Majesty have anything else to say about the war that I am presiding over?"
"There are rumors outside that Lieutenant General Moya of Sibia is very good at defense. My ears are getting calloused when I hear it. This time, please let the outside rumors change the tone!" Cohen turned around and looked at the dark sky outside the fortress.
, restored the self-proclaimed emperor, "Let these people know that Sibia's army, which defeated the Demon Alliance, will be more terrifying than the Demon Alliance."
"Your Majesty, I obey." Moya replied calmly, turned around and left, leaving only the sound of footsteps gradually fading away on the city wall. (To be continued)
