Chapter 1053 Earl Denton's Oath Stone

"This is indeed a problem. The combat effectiveness of the regular army of the empire is a bit strong...I mean compared to Bethulius's private army."

August said with a headache, "Although we have given special training to those losers, in just ten days, it is still too difficult for them to have a combat effectiveness comparable to the regular army of the empire. Moreover, the monsters in the underground world

The number currently present is not large enough to fight against the Empire’s regular legions.”

"Yes, so we must first get rid of the nail that the empire has broken into the Xisha Province." Andre said.

"You mean the Earl of Denton?"

August laughed and said: "This is easy to handle. Although Persuvius's private army is very weak, it is enough to serve as cannon fodder. When I rush into the formation and kill Denton, the Imperial Vanguard Army will definitely be defeated."

This tactic is suitable for situations where the enemy's commander is not strong. It would have been impossible for Nicholas IV to lead the imperial army, because Augustus knew that he could not rush into the battle and kill a lord.

"It's not difficult to defeat Denton. After all, he's just a rare leader. But how can we make Denton show his value?" Andre shook his head.

"Use the value of Denton?" August picked his chin, "Well, then change the tactics, kill Denton secretly, and then let the shape-shifter disguise himself, and take advantage of Nicholas IV's unpreparedness as he just arrived, to trick him.

!As long as Nicholas IV is seriously injured, I will be sure to defeat the Imperial Legion."

"No." Andre shook his head.

"Why?" August is a good lord who humbly accepts advice. According to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms he has read, all lords who humbly accept advice are successful, and those who do not listen to the advice of advisors are doomed.

His favorite Bofu Sun died young because he did not listen to his advisers' advice.

Andre explained: "First of all, when the Plantagenet Empire was investigating shapeshifters in the central province, they had expanded the scope of the investigation, including the heirs! In other words, their defensive mentality against shapeshifters

It’s very serious, and the Earl of Denton who is meeting for the first time will probably be subject to strict interrogation, so this plan will be difficult to work.”

After a pause, Andre added: "And the most important thing is, I don't want Nicholas IV to die like this."

August tilted his head: "I don't quite understand."

"Nicholas IV passed away and the empire was in disarray. Who will help us consume the strength of the underground monster empire?" Andre sighed, "The current Kane can be seen as a tripartite. The Plantagenet Empire is the strongest,

Just like Cao Mengde who dominates the north; the underground monster is currently inferior in strength, just like Jiangdong Sun Zhongmou, and we are the weakest, and can be regarded as the poor Liu Xuande before the Battle of Chibi."

"In the Chibi War, Cao Mengde was originally going to be captured by Zhuge Kongming, but when he was deploying, he deliberately arranged for Guan Yunchang on Huarong Road. Why?"

Andre asked himself and answered, "Because he didn't want Cao Mengde to die. Assuming that without Cao Mengde, Sun Zhongmou would have no one to suppress him, and he would definitely grow rapidly. Liu Xuande at that time would not have the strength to compete with him."

Andre sighed inwardly. Being August's think tank is not an easy task. He must do what he likes. Knowing that August liked the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Andre also forced himself to read it, so that the two

Everyone has become a master of the Three Kingdoms.

Using the metaphor of the Three Kingdoms is often a shortcut to persuade August.

"Well, I think you are right. It would be better for Nicholas IV to be alive." August nodded quickly.

"To deal with Earl Denton's vanguard, we need Camille to attack with the monsters from the underground world," Andre said. "In a short period of time, it will be beneficial to us to cause internal friction between both sides."

"Camille? That native of Earth?"

August frowned and said, "Isn't this giving up her contribution to the war? Earl Denton is also an important plot character."

When it comes to his contribution to the unification process, August becomes very sensitive.

"With Earl Denton as the bait, there is no need to worry that Camille will not give her all. As for the contribution to the war, don't worry, I have already made arrangements." A confident smile appeared on Andre's pale face.

"Okay, I'll do as you say. By the way, kill the old Duke as soon as possible, so I don't have to come over and waste two hours of time every day to accompany you." August said in a low voice.

"You can't be in a hurry. You can at least wait until you, squad leader, have mastered the power of the entire Bethlehem Territory before you can let the old Duke ascend to heaven. For now, it's enough to keep him in a coma where he is seriously ill and unable to do anything. You should do the superficial work.

You must silence other nobles before you can legitimately hold power."



Jinghai Base City, Super God Guild Building.

According to the agreed time, Cecilia was summoned back to Earth again.

This time, the news she brought was even more shocking.

"Earl Denton died in battle? The Imperial Vanguard Army was defeated?"

Bai Xiaowen digested the information and said slowly: "The enemy's reaction speed is too fast..."

"What do you mean?" Li Shuyi asked.

"There was just an action in the central province, and there was a reaction in the Xisha province, which defeated Earl Denton's vanguard army first... If this is not a coincidence, it can at least explain one problem, that is, there are still enemies in the central province.

Lurking! Moreover, they are awakened members of the hostile camp who have mastered special communication channels!"

Li Shuyi nodded: "The main road between Xisha and the central province has been blocked and controlled. Logically speaking, the information should not be transmitted so fast."

Cecilia said: "There is one detail. According to the reports of the defeated vanguard soldiers, it was an army of underground monsters that launched the surprise attack. However, Earl Denton seemed to be prepared in advance and led a small group of elites to break through and escape from the battlefield.

.After receiving this report, Nicholas IV originally thought that Denton survived, but then he learned that the other party had died in battle."

"Wait a minute..." Bai Xiaowen captured something keenly, "How did Nicholas IV get the news of Denton's death in battle? Is it possible that some of the elite who followed Denton to break out survived and escaped back to Nicholas?"

"No, those elite troops were also wiped out."

Cecilia said: "The reason why we know that Denton died in the battle is because Nicholas IV had the oath stone of Earl Denton in his hand. With the death of Denton, the oath stone cracked. At the moment of cracking, Nicholas

The fourth generation saw the scene before Earl Denton's death through the picture displayed on the Oath Stone."

The Oath Stone is similar to the "Warning Stone", but in addition to conveying the message of life and death, it can also allow the holder to see some scenes of the victim before his death, which is considered a more high-end magic item.

"What did he see?" Bai Xiaowen asked.
