Chapter 1048 The remote commander who sits on the earth
Apart from these, Cecilia has no further understanding of the situation in the empire. Moreover, the information she mentioned has a delay of at least three to five days and is not necessarily very accurate.
This charter, which granted Bai Xiaowen, the great lord of the North, the ability to do things cheaply, was sent to Baishi City through special channels from the central province, and it took two days on the road.
In other words, Nicholas IV sent the emergency contact two days ago.
"There is a big information gap..." Bai Xiaowen frowned and said, "According to Cecilia, Nicholas IV's throne should be relatively stable. After all, he controls the central province and the imperial regiment under his command.
Everyone should support him, otherwise Gulamans would not be driven out of the central province easily by him..."
After a pause, Bai Xiaowen continued: "The private armies of the nobles in Xisha Province should be inferior to the Imperial Regiment in terms of combat effectiveness. Just like when we resisted the invasion of the survivors in the North, so many private armies of the North's nobles gathered together.
, they are just cannon fodder at best, the real elite is still the First Legion of the Empire brought over by Nicholas."
"The fact that Nicholas IV could promise such a big benefit and hope to get his brother's support shows that his current situation is not optimistic." Xiaojun said. She also read the content of the letter, although she was not particularly proficient in ancient Latin.
But I can still feel the urgency between the lines.
"Yes, this shows that there must be additional forces joining the Gulamansi camp. It may be the defection of the Imperial Regiment, or a group of nobles changing their original wait-and-see stance..." Qiao Rui, who walked in, also
Joined the discussion.
Bai Xiaowen tapped the table gently and said thoughtfully: "Both of these possibilities are not particularly high. With the prestige that Nicholas IV has accumulated in the army and the righteousness of the orthodox royal family, the possibility of the army defecting is very small.
In addition, creatures like nobles always have the first goal of being wise and protective, and rarely make a clear stance until the situation becomes clear, not to mention that Gulamans is the disadvantaged party."
Bai Xiaowen stood up and said: "In comparison, I prefer to believe that it was external forces that changed the balance of power, causing Nicholas IV to lose control of the empire's situation, so he thought of treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor and asked me for help.
."
"Then what should we do?" Li Shuyi asked.
"For us, the biggest constraint is time."
Bai Xiaowen shook his head, "If I can match into Kane's plane normally, I am confident that I can discover at least the second main mission, so that I will have more time to help Nicholas IV win the key battle. But now, the land is permanently sealed.
Ling has only accumulated four or five days of stay, which is far from enough."
"A key battle shouldn't take long, right?" Li Shuyi said, "The final battle in the Black Tide Plane, the Earth Corridor, only took less than a day."
"The battle itself may not take too long to determine the winner, but the preliminary preparations for this key battle are extremely important," Bai Xiaowen shook his head and said, "The same is true for the key battles in the Kuroshio plane. If
We did not collect the Seven Sacred Artifacts in advance, so there was no way we could capture the Great Lord cleanly in that battle. But in the Kane plane, early preparations, terrain surveys, battlefield selection, and small-scale encounters were handled...
It all takes time!”
It is a pity that Nicholas IV's charter can only affect the scope of Bai Xiaowen's activities in the Plantagenet Empire, but cannot extend Bai Xiaowen's stay! Even if Nicholas IV wants Bai Xiaowen to stay in the Kane plane, he cannot do it.
Well, this was beyond the emperor's power.
Bai Xiaowen thought for a while and said slowly: "Now it seems that there is only one way."
Everyone's eyes turned over.
"Cecilia, after you return to the territory, hand over the affairs and leave for the Central Province immediately! Find Nicholas IV."
Bai Xiaowen said, "Remember to select an elite entourage from Baishi's leadership group. It doesn't need to be too many. Try to choose those experienced veterans who are above the level of squad leader. They must have certain leadership experience."
Cecilia nodded in agreement.
"After meeting Nicholas IV, I explained my situation to him. I can only stay in the Kane plane for a limited time. I can only show up when a key battle starts and bring my partners to help him win a battle.
!And all preparations before this critical battle, including suggestions on strategic decision-making, will be conveyed through you."
"Shall I convey it?"
"Yes, you can freely travel between the two planes. This is our only advantage," Bai Xiaowen said, "I will call you at a fixed time every day. You bring the intelligence collected by the central province and give it to me to make a judgment.
, and then go back and forward my suggestions to Nicholas IV... Although this is very troublesome and far less effective than me visiting the plane of Kane in person, it is also the only way."
If Bai Xiaowen visits Kane in person, he can gain insight into important intelligence clues from many details that others cannot notice, and thus make timely war decisions.
Just like when the Remnant Vanguard was sieging the city, Bai Xiaowen saw Prince Nicholas's plan to lure the enemy in advance on the battlefield. Anticipating the defeat of the Remnant Vanguard Army, he led his troops to intercept in advance and annihilated the Remnant Vanguard in one battle.
If it were someone else who helped Bai Xiaowen collect information and handed it over to Bai Xiaowen across dimensions, they wouldn't have such a flexible feedback speed.
This requires Bai Xiaowen to have the ability to control the overall strategic deployment and make decisions in the general direction, rather than detailed strategies for one city or one place.
Unfortunately, there is no means of cross-dimensional communication. Things like the Warning Stone can only transmit simple messages of "yes or no". Magical communication in the Kane plane relies on the magic network, which also does not support cross-planes.
Cecilia agreed and agreed on the time for the next summons. It was expected that Cecilia would arrive in the central province, meet Nicholas IV for the first time, and then rush back.
Bai Xiaowen drew a rough topographic map of the Kane plane, looked at the five major provinces of the Plantagenet Empire, and was in a daze for a while.
"This is a rare opportunity..."
Bai Xiaowen breathed a sigh of relief, "For us, the status of the Kane plane is extremely important. Our connection with the Kane plane is closer than any other plane! The Aaron plane where Gloria is located can only be ranked
Second. If we can assist Nicholas IV to win this war, our territory will definitely usher in a leap in development."
"I just want to experience the feeling of sitting on the earth and commanding by remote control." Qiao Rui said with a smile.
