Amelia's answer did not surprise him. The biggest obstacle for the leader of the Evernight Army to eat up the Kingsley family's Eastern Army is not the military, but the outsider. His ally, the Princess Regent, is the biggest obstacle.
That one.
As Amelia just said, in the position of Princess Regent, sometimes the interests of the overall situation come before personal interests. She doesn't care whether the Kingsley family is destroyed or not. Anyway, these great ducal families have been around since Odin
After the empire was divided, they neither listened to the tune nor the propaganda. If the threat of the Odin Orcs had not been completely eliminated, they would have established their own principalities one by one.
The Princess Regent is concerned about the overall safety of the whole family. The Kingsley family's piece of fat is so fat that everyone wants to take a bite. Once they compete for food, it is easy to be unable to stop the car.
"That's all!" Amelia patted her chest and promised, "As long as the overall situation can be ensured, His Highness will be the Baron's most loyal ally, standing firmly behind you and helping you strive for the best interests."
As for seeking some own benefits in this process, it is not an excessive thing.
"I understand." Sean smiled and said, "Madam, you must be tired after traveling all the way. Let's rest for two days. We have the results here, and I will notify you as soon as possible."
"Then I'll trouble you, Lord Baron." Amelia didn't immediately ask for Sean's answer.
This kind of matter involves the lives and deaths of hundreds of thousands of people and tens of millions of financial and material resources. Naturally, it needs to be carefully considered. She is already prepared for long-term negotiations.
Conveying the Princess Regent's bottom line and initially testing out Sean's attitude have made a relatively perfect start.
"By the way, I heard that there are new developments on your side in Odin Grassland." Sean briefly told Amelia his analysis of Odin Grassland.
Amelia's face immediately showed a heavy look that could not be concealed and said: "We already know this news. This is why His Highness does not want to see chaos within us. The current emperor of the Theodin Empire, Ulan Bage, is young and powerful.
, after more than ten years of recuperating, he has completely consolidated his dominance, and is now at the peak of his enterprising spirit. The only good thing is that he has been keeping his eyes on the aging Royal Court of the Lion Clan.
He is committed to unifying the Odin Empire and creating the glory that even his grandfather could not create, but if we create opportunities for him, I believe he would not mind turning the Byron Alliance into his pasture."
"It's best if you are prepared." Sean turned to comfort Amelia and said, "Don't worry, we will consider it carefully. If the Byron Alliance is in chaos, it will not be good for us. Ralph,
Help me see off the lady."
Thinking about it, the Byron Alliance has always regarded Odin orcs as the biggest threat, especially the Lancelot royal family, which is the first to bear the brunt. If the Blood Castle of Broken Mouth falls, other military leaders will still have some natural dangers to defend. The plains of Asia Minor can be left to Odin
The orcs' cavalry ravaged it.
They must pay great attention to the movements on the Odin Prairie. If the leader of the Eternal Night Army needs to be reminded of something that has far-reaching significance to the pattern of the Odin Prairie, Amelia, the spy chief of the Regent Princess, can
He took the blame and resigned.
"Then I will just wait for the good news from your lord." Amelia didn't hesitate and stood up to leave quickly.
As soon as Amelia left, the generals led by the Yongye Army were summoned.
"Letting the Kingsley family's Eastern Expeditionary Army cross the river is equivalent to letting the tiger return to the mountain. What if they stay on the west bank after crossing the river and refuse to retreat? The safest way is to eat them in one bite and avoid future troubles forever. We may still be able to take advantage of the opportunity.
Break into the Carter Army and take a bite." The first person to voice doubts was a new face, at least among the senior leaders of the Yongye Army.
This man's name is Wyande Sarof, the biological son of Elder Webb, and the commander of the original Crocodile Tribe's new army, as well as the uncrowned leader of the young reform faction.
The leader of the Yongye Army peacefully annexed the Crocodile Tribe. This man took great credit and played a very positive role, although his starting point was to seek better development for the Crocodile Tribe.
Now he is the appointed commander of the first army of the Dawn Army Group that is being formed.
Regardless of his status, he is now qualified to sit here.
Compared with the four scheming elders of the Crocodile Tribe, Wyande has the vigor and vitality unique to young people. He may also feel that he needs to shoulder the responsibilities of the Crocodile Tribe and always strives for the interests of the Crocodile Tribe.
Compared to the Yongye Army Leader, they, who are from the Crocodile Tribe, pay more attention to the territorial integrity of the Despair Swamp.
"We insist on eating the Kingsley family's Eastern Army. No one can stop it. However, doing so will only make us lonely. Even if we can take the opportunity to eat the Carter army leader, we don't have the ability to digest it.
" Sean patiently analyzed the situation faced by Yong Ye's army one by one.
Although Wyande has been traveling for more than ten years, he spent most of his time hanging out at the bottom. Later he became the leader of the young reformist faction of the Crocodile tribe. This was also due to the influence of the leader of the Yongye Army, rather than the accumulation of his own experience.
.
So in terms of the overall situation, let alone the generals led by the Yongye Army, even compared to some of the Crocodile Tribe elders, they are still inferior.
Sean had a plan to send him and all the future Crocodile tribesmen officers of the Morning Army Army to the Yongye Army Affiliated Officer School for two years of intensive training before taking up their posts.
It's just that time doesn't allow it, so I can only put up a shelf first, practice and learn at the same time, and then make up for it when time is available. This is how the officers of the Yongye Army came to be.
"So, from the perspective of overall interests, the Byron Alliance has fallen into turmoil, which is harmful to us. The most important thing for us now is to seek stability. Only in this way can we better complete integration and build a better swamp of despair."
The military conference in the past was different. This time Sean did not wait until the end to conclude his speech, but set the tone from the beginning.
Maintaining the stability of the Byron Alliance is not only the interest of the Princess Regent, but also the interest of the Eternal Night Army.
Because of the stable Byron Alliance, it is convenient for the Eternal Night Army leader to steal more wealth from it.
There are many ways of invasion, and invasion by military force is only the most direct and low-level one.
No matter how successful the invasion is, it will ultimately require a long recovery period.
If you look at the Swamp of Despair, you will know that the lives of the Crocodile people have been torn to pieces, and countless people have died. If they want to restore the original situation, they will not have to think about it for ten or eight years. This is still with the strong support of the Yongye Army Leader.
The smartest way to steal wealth into your own hands is through economic invasion.
This is also the favorite method of Yongye Army Leader. Whether it is the luxury trade such as silk clothing or the low-end market such as taverns and restaurants, this method is one of them.
If the Kingsley family hadn't been keeping an eye on them, they could have quietly taken down the Crocodile tribe in this way.
Although Wyande showed a thoughtful expression, he couldn't help but finally asked: "Lord, you didn't answer the question I just asked. If we put back the Kingsley family army, they would be entrenched in Donau.
What if we don’t withdraw from the west bank of the river? If we start a war then, won’t we risk the lives of our people in vain?”
"General Wyande is overly worried." Sean smiled and said, "I never said that the entire Eastern Expedition Army should go back in one piece. If Archduke Buck doesn't pay a sufficient price, he won't even think about taking back a single soldier!"
"What do you mean?" Wyande looked confused.
"Ha ha……"
Yong Yejun led the other generals and couldn't help but smile kindly.
The main chief of staff, Kelman, couldn't stand it and explained: "General Wyande is really upright. In other words, the 200,000 Eastern Army of the Kingsley family is now a bargaining chip in our hands. Even if it is released, it is not
Instead, they sold it to Archduke Buck like a commodity. This war has already put the Kingsley family into a financial deficit. If they take out such a war compensation, they will definitely sell it.
Even if they want to stay in the West Bank and not leave, they don’t have the financial resources anymore. No money? What kind of war are they fighting?”
These newly promoted young people said with a look of astonishment: "Buck and Akmesser are not fools. Will they obey our mercy? What if they are unwilling to pay to redeem this army?"
"If we don't redeem them, we naturally have no obligation to let them go back. Once tens of thousands of people have been killed or injured, they will be at our mercy." Kelman spoke calmly, but there was a strong emotion in his words.
The smell of blood.
Political contests are sometimes more cruel than war.
After all, Wyande was young and had very little experience in this area. The answer from the main chief of staff made him fall silent again.
He suddenly found that he could not keep up with the thinking of the senior leaders of the Yongye Army. His own views were linear, either white or black, while the thoughts of the senior leaders of the Yongye Army were mostly three-dimensional. In addition to white and black, there were also
grey.
Wyande suddenly remembered his father's meaningful warning before entering the conference room - see more, listen more and talk less.
Previously, he thought it was his father expressing dissatisfaction with his sharpness.
Now it seems that it was just a father's advice to his son. His ability to enter such high-level meetings is partly due to the current situation. In terms of real ability, he may still be lacking.
After a brief thought storm, Wyande decided to follow his father's advice, nodded to Sean and said: "In this case, I have no problem."
"This is just a big strategic policy. How far it will be implemented depends on whether Buck and Akmeser understand the current affairs. If they bow their heads and cooperate, that's it. Otherwise, we won't be blamed. It happened that Akmesser asked
We will meet with the top management and try his hand first. Until then, everything will proceed as planned." Sean finally made the decision.
This military meeting was mainly for the purpose of unifying opinions, especially for the young faction of the Crocodile tribe.
Compared with the Council of Elders, while they have many advantages, they also have shortcomings that cannot be concealed - they are too young, lack experience in many areas, and have a tougher attitude, especially when dealing with intruders like the Kingsley family.
Each one of them gnashed their teeth in hatred for them, wishing to bury them all in the Swamp of Despair.
But the relationship between forces is definitely not that simple. Many times personal feelings are only one aspect of it, and sometimes it must be compromised for the overall interests.
Putting aside many factors, the Eternal Night Army leader killed the Kingsley family's 200,000 Eastern Army. In addition to obtaining a pile of dead bodies, the Cartel Army leader, the Byron Alliance, and even the entire Ashan continent were plunged into endless war.
Being known as a butcher satisfies some people's desire for revenge and has no meaning for one's own development.
If the Yong Ye Military Leader is a super military power and can gain more benefits and land from the chaos, they will do so without hesitation.
Obviously, the Yongye Army is still far away from this assumption.
One Despair Swamp and one Crocodile tribesman is enough for the Eternal Night Army to digest for ten or eight years, not to mention that there is a time bomb on the east bank of Despair Swamp - the Klein tribe.
With them here, it is not that easy to eat the Swamp of Despair.
"Is there anything else that I have any objections to?" Sean asked, looking around.
"There is something, although it is not big, but I think it is necessary for your lord to know." General Ericson, commander of the Third Army of the Yongye Group, stood up and said.
"What's the matter?" Sean asked.
"Three days ago, the patrol discovered an eleven-man knight squad on the West Bank." General Ericson replied.
"Oh? What's so special about this knight team?" Sean didn't look down upon it just because it was a trivial matter. Instead, he became interested.
If a group of ordinary deserters, unless they were replaced by eleven great knights, would still be qualified to speak at such a meeting, eleven knights would not be able to stand on the stage.
Others cannot tell the difference clearly. Erikson, who has a rigorous temperament, will not make this kind of mistake. Since this kind of thing is mentioned separately, it must have been investigated clearly and has its own uniqueness.
Sure enough, General Ericson replied: "This team is not preparing to escape, but is looking for us. There was no conflict after meeting. They claim to be from the Huayu Plateau and are grain merchants of the Bryan family. They want to do business with us."
Grain business.”
"The Kingsley family's food supplier?" Sean was stunned and couldn't help laughing. "No matter what time, the businessman's sense of smell is always so sensitive and his courage is so bold, he comes to the door so casually.
, I am not afraid of being killed by the rebels, and it is good that they came to my door on their own initiative, which saved me a lot of trouble. It just so happened that I still had half a day to bring them over, and I would personally meet these bold businessmen.
"
"What are you doing with these bastards?" Tagore said angrily, "If it weren't for the grain brought by these bastards, why would there have been so many troubles in the Swamp of Despair? We have the line of Princess Regent, and we have endless low-priced grains. With them,
What are you talking about? Just push them out and chop them all, then send a main force to kill them all as rebels, and confiscate all the food they brought."
"Bandit concept." Sean laughed and scolded, "You are now a general leading a large army, not a bandit leader. For a little extra money, you slaughtered all the adventurous businessmen. Whoever will do business with us in the future, we will
How to transport goods and goods? Compared with windfall, long-term flow is the way to go. Forget it, no matter how much I tell you, you still don’t understand. Leave this kind of thing to the professionals. You can practice your skills honestly.
Soldier, fight your battle."
"Only you have more guts." Tagore muttered, and sat back obediently, because he found that even Skull Crusher Mikey looked at him with a half-smiling expression, and that was all.
, it’s a little annoying to be laughed at by people who are usually in the same position as you.
"Any other questions?" Sean asked next.
The generals of the Yongye Army whispered to each other, and finally shook their heads.
"That concludes today's military meeting. Let me clarify your recent responsibilities." Xiao Xiao stood up solemnly, "Generals, please follow your orders."
"have!"
With a roar, the senior leaders of the Yongye Army stood up in unison.
