After hearing the end, Archduke Buck's whole body was trembling uncontrollably. A great knight lost control of his body, which shows how intense his inner activities were.
If everything is true as Sir Crest said, this leader of the Eternal Night Army is truly terrifying.
He is no longer a dispensable role in the tripartite alliance with Princess Regent Sophilia and Countess Angie Beina, but has been in an indispensable core position from beginning to end, including Princess Regent Sophilia.
Following each other's footsteps, although the whole process seems to be guided by the regent princess.
Duke Buck has the reputation of being a red-tailed viper, which means that he likes to hibernate in caves or remain motionless. Once he attacks, it will be fatal.
But compared with the leader of the Eternal Night Army and his ruler Sean Don Augustine in Sir Crest's words, he was far, far behind.
They have done earth-shattering things, but they still remain silent, and everyone still looks down on them.
Maybe they are dormant in the mountains now, staring at the Kingsley family with cold eyes, waiting for the right time to give them a fatal blow.
Sir Kleist was not alarmist. The Carter military leader was indeed on the edge of a cliff. If he was not careful, he would be in catastrophic condition.
Archduke Buck did not doubt the authenticity of what Sir Crest said, because it was by no means fabricated by the other party. In addition to the fact that the entire analysis was closely linked, Archduke Buck also knew a thing or two about this information, but was limited by his grasp.
Not completely, the understanding is not that deep.
"Are you sure you are not telling a legendary story?" Grand Scholar Qian Ning, who was observing, looked in disbelief.
Sir Crest's expression was absolutely solemn, and his words were conclusive. Sometimes he could even describe the specific details, but to his ears, no matter how he heard it, it sounded absurd and unreal.
Give him the feeling of a bard telling legendary stories in a tavern.
Academician Qian Ning lived up to his reputation as a wise man. He quickly grasped the key to why the whole issue sounded so absurd, and asked: "You mean, all of this happened within ten years? In other words, it will last forever."
Did the Night Army Leader develop and accomplish this within ten years? You just said that the leader of the other party was just a young man who was no more than thirty years old? How old was he ten years ago? What do you think of them?
Why do you know so much about the situation?”
time.
Time is of the essence in the whole thing.
If it were said that an established force like the Carter Army Leader had used decades of management and planning to accomplish this, it would sound more believable.
It is a bit of a myth that a little-known force accomplished all this in just ten years.
According to Sir Kleist, the other party grew up in this process, because it was very difficult for them to attack the Bastille, which was only garrisoned by thousands of private soldiers at first, and they needed to resort to surprise methods such as night attacks.
How come in just a few years, he has the strength to shake up a military leader?
Now it poses a direct threat to a military leader.
Sir Kleist took a deep breath and said: "I know this thing sounds a bit incredible, but I can guarantee that every word I say and every piece of information has been verified by me repeatedly. As for why I
I know them so well because I have been watching their growth over the years, and I have reminded the Viscount many times. Unfortunately, he has never had the chance to grow up, let alone inhibit their development."
Naturally, Sir Crest could not say that Sean led a young army to attack the Bastille at night, and his escape was one of the great shames in his life, and he tried every means to wash away it.
However, the development of the Yongye military leader can be described as step by step and steady, and he will not be given such a chance at all.
On the contrary, the more information about the Eternal Night Army that I had in my hands, the more frightened I became. The speed of development of this new force completely broke Sir Kleist's knowledge in the first half of his life. It was like there was an invisible big hand behind his back.
Like them, although there was a slight setback, the running momentum was frightening.
Therefore, there was a biased perception. Of course, part of his previous information was true.
Some of them were his personal overly arbitrary inferences, such as the slave uprising that swept through Manyu's military leader. It was purely the result of Manyu's own class conflict reaching its peak and erupting naturally.
Sean just happened to meet him, he didn't deliberately promote it.
Of course, it cannot be said that it has nothing to do with the Yongye Army Leader.
The slave rebel army was able to grow in size and sweep across the entire Manyu Army. In addition to the operation of Angie Beina and the witch secret society behind her, the fire that Sean and the others set in the Bastille plunged the Manyu Army into a period of military chaos.
The unprecedented weakening of power also has a lot to do with it.
The medical clinic opened by Sean and the new medical techniques he promoted further intensified the conflict between the gladiators and the slave owners.
Later, they cooperated with the slave rebel army, which was an instinctive reaction to the development of a force. There would never be fat in their mouths, and they wouldn't eat it, right?
However, it is true that the slave rebel army plundered the leader of Manyu and enriched the leader of Yongye in disguise.
This can only be said to be a coincidence and not a conscious act.
But this series of coincidences naturally changed in the eyes of a caring person like Sir Kleist.
The series of information Sir Kleist mentioned were all the external actions of the Eternal Night Army. As for the annexation and counterattack wars that occurred within the Eternal Night Army, they were not mentioned at all. Even the actual information that the Eternal Night Army currently possesses was not mentioned.
Military strength is all expressed using vague quantifiers such as vague, possible, and probably.
Obviously, the information he had on the Yong Ye Army Leader was collected from outside, and there was no chance to penetrate into the Yong Ye Army Leader's interior.
In addition to not having a chance, it is also directly related to his own cautious character. The leader of the Yongye Army is now an out-and-out behemoth. He has rashly angered him and issued a kill order to himself. He dare not say anything else. Manyu
There is no need for military leaders to mess around.
Sir Fox Crest is very clear about where his advantage lies, that is, the enemy is overt and we are hidden. He has been paying close attention to the leader of the Yongye Army. The leader of the Yongye Army does not even know that a person like him exists.
The reason why Sir Kleist paid attention to the Eternal Night Army Leader may have been out of hatred at first. However, as the Eternal Night Army Leader developed and grew, and the two sides were no longer on the same level, the desire for revenge may have long since faded away.
More and more people want to use this information as a promotion ladder.
Just like what he did in front of Archduke Borg, but this time, he was more careful, the intelligence he collected was more accurate, and the timing was perfect.
Just as he expected, he achieved a blockbuster effect in front of Archduke Buck and left a deep impression on him. Why worry that the other party didn't reuse him, not to mention that he had prepared a more important trump card.
Grand Duke Buck stood up, saluted Sir Kleist solemnly, and said sincerely: "I was so arrogant that I almost missed you. Fortunately, you were persistent and I didn't make a big mistake."
, please tell me in more detail what you know about the Yongye Army Leader."
Archduke Buck has already adopted this attitude. Even if Grand Scholar Qian Ning still has more questions and doubts in his heart, he can only hold them back and watch with cold eyes to see what other shocking words this envoy has to say.
Go over what he said in your mind again and look for new loopholes.
A trace of joy flashed through Sir Fox Crest's heart. His forbearance and hard work for so many years have finally been in vain. Now that it is the harvest season, he always maintained a kind of reserve on his face and said: "Your Majesty, there is no need to blame yourself.
Before having a deeper understanding, no one would have noticed that the mountain next to him had grown into a man-eating beast. However, over the years, I have been single-handedly weak and the amount of intelligence I have collected is very limited, especially the Yongye Army leader.
The geographical advantage is too obvious, and they are a foreign race, so it is difficult to penetrate them. I have limited knowledge of their internal intelligence, but one thing is certain, the other party has its own shipyard, and the soldiers are good at shooting. Once they are combined, they will
It’s quite scary. Ships are the key to seizing the Swamp of Despair. The other party is probably building so many ships not only for trade, right?”
This is the cleverness of Sir Crest. He first bombards Archduke Buck with a bombshell, and then avoids the important and ignores the light, showing off his own weaknesses. He will not talk nonsense in order to gain the attention of the other party.
Doing that would certainly win Archduke Buck's attention, but once the lie was exposed, all his previous efforts would be in vain.
Instead, he said it in a speculative way, proving that he was not only good at intelligence collection, but also good at situation analysis.
"Your Excellency is too modest." Grand Duke Buck's attitude had completely changed 180 degrees at this moment, and he looked like a polite corporal.
"In addition, I also brought a gift to His Majesty." Sir Kleist decided to strike while the iron was hot and solidify his value in exchange for more opportunities.
As for his former allegiance, Viscount Philip, that was a ladder that had lost its use value. When he tried his best to get the task of leading the Carthusian army as an envoy, his use value had been drained.
In Sir Fox Crest's opinion, when Viscount Philip failed to disguise himself perfectly and gain the trust of the other three parties at the Four-Party Council, his fate was already doomed. The Four-Party Council was the closest he got to the position of Grand Duke Manyu.
, if you miss it, you will only go further and further away. No matter how hard you try, it will not help.
Of course, a man as smart as Sir Crest would not sit on a ship that is destined to sink. Finding a more powerful employer before doing so is the most correct choice.
Archduke Buck was the path he chose for himself.
Although Sir Crest said he highly valued the abilities of the Eternal Night Army Leader, deep down in his heart, he still looked down upon him.
Because the leaders of the Yongye Army were able to achieve many dazzling achievements, it was all because they were dormant in the mountains and calculated with intention but without intention.
This time it was different. Because of his own existence, he helped the Kingsley family and Grand Duke Buck gain insight into their existence and purpose in advance, and shifted their offensive and defensive positions. The leader of the Yongye Army did not know that their whereabouts had been exposed, so it became
The enemy is overt and we are covert, and it is their turn to plot against the Yong Ye army leader. The chances of success or failure are naturally very different.
As Bachelor Qian Ning just said, the Yongye Army has been developing for a total of ten years now. Even if it develops at a faster rate, how fast can it be? Compared with a grand duke family that has had a military leader for hundreds of years.
Up, it's not the same level.
"A gift, what gift?" Archduke Buck asked curiously.
After experiencing a series of intelligence shocks, he is now full of expectations for Sir Crest's so-called gift.
"Please wait." Sir Crest looked mysterious.
Soon Sir Crest's attendants came in carrying a basket, covered with a layer of linen, giving it a mysterious feel.
But Grand Duke Buck still recognized it at a glance. It was a birdcage, and the fog on his head became more intense. Is the other party planning to give him a bird? What kind of bird is worthy of such an effort? The legendary bird of paradise?
Even if it is really a bird of paradise, what is the use of his coming?
What was in the cage was indeed a bird. To be more precise, it was an eagle that was not particularly large. It had gray feathers and was very inconspicuous. It seemed that because of its captivity, it had characteristics unique to birds of prey.
The fierce aura had almost dissipated. When the cover was lifted, he only opened half of his eyes and glanced around, then continued to sleep with his neck curled up, looking indifferent.
Because he despised the matter of being slapped in the face, even though the eagle the other party took out looked like an ordinary mountain eagle, Archduke Buck still did not dare to draw conclusions and put on an inquiring look, "This is
…”
"Wait a moment, your Majesty will understand. Please lend me your Majesty's personal letter. Please stamp this piece of white paper." Sir Crest placed a thin piece of letter paper in front of Archduke Buck.
The doubts in Grand Duke Buck's heart became more intense, but in order to understand the situation, he still followed the instructions and used red paint to stamp a personal letter on the piece of paper.
Sir Kleist handed the letter to his attendant who came in with the eagle cage. The attendant opened the eagle cage with tacit understanding and whistled loudly. The eagle in the cage, which was suspected to be a mountain eagle,
Reluctantly, it flew out and landed on the attendant's arm guard.
While the attendant skillfully fed the eagle some meat strips, he rolled up the piece of paper with the red paint seal, stuffed it into the small bamboo tube at its feet, fixed it, and then pointed it at Sir Kleist.
Nod.
"Please also ask your Majesty to choose a person you trust to come to my servant." Sir Crest then made another request of his own.
"Yada, please make a trip yourself." Archduke Buck said to his personal guard.
"As you command, my king." The champion knight, who was as thick as a wooden stake, responded in a sullen voice.
"Let's take ten kilometers as the boundary." Sir Kleist said to his attendant.
"Understood." The attendant nodded, turned and left.
"It's a bit troublesome to explain in words, so I'd better let His Majesty see the actual experiment, but this experiment will take a while." Sir Kleist explained.
"I still have some patience, let's wait for the result together!" Archduke Buck said with a smile. In fact, a guess had already flashed through his mind. It was somewhat certain, but it was not broken.
Since the two of them were able to find many topics to talk about, the waiting time was not long. After only an hour, the crisp hawk's cry came from the sky, and a gray figure came in at lightning speed and plunged into the eagle cage.
After taking off the mailbox tied to its feet, it turned out to be the letterhead that Grand Duke Buck had stamped on it an hour ago. Nearly a quarter of an hour later, Archduke Buck's personal bodyguard leader Ada ran back all the way.
Before Sir Crest could speak, Archduke Buck took the lead and asked: "Is this the messenger eagle of the Yongye Army?"
This time it was Sir Crest's turn to be surprised, "Your Majesty, have you seen this before?"
This was a second-hand item that he had dug out from Countess Angie Beina at a huge cost. He had been offering it like a treasure. He also wanted to get the final word from Archduke Buck, but he didn't expect that she actually knew him.
