"We can't place our hopes on luck. In this case, we must consider changing our strategy." Sean is also unwilling, but as the supreme commander, he must make a choice at this time.
Because once the undead army of the Klein tribe arrives at Brother Port and defeats the Kingsley family's army, the leader of the Eternal Night Army will have no trump card to negotiate with the Kingsley family.
It would be great if Archduke Buck didn't fall out with him on the spot, but still expect the other party to agree to their harsh conditions?
There are some things that the leader of the Yongye Army can reach out and get by himself, but there are some things that he can't help.
At that time, they will also face the threat of the Klein tribe's surging military strength.
"Have we fallen into a misunderstanding? We have been thinking about how to use our own abilities to resist the undead army of the Klein tribe, but we have not considered the hundreds of thousands of troops in Brother Port and Akmeshar? It's not like we haven't
Having fought against them, the other party is not too fragile to be vulnerable, right?
If we are prepared in advance and use Brother Port to resist for a period of time, there should be no problem. When the time comes, we can launch an attack from the side, attack from both sides, and eat this undead army. It is not impossible. Doing this will not only save the day
, and even weaken the Klein tribe to a great extent, laying the foundation for us to unify the Swamp of Despair in the future, getting the best of both worlds."
After this long speech, the entire conference room fell into silence, and everyone stared at the speaker blankly.
Because the speaker of this long speech was neither the two main military chiefs of staff, nor Erikson, who was known for his meticulous thinking, but Skullcrusher McGee, one of the two direct artillery barrels of the Eternal Night Army.
Skullcrusher Mikey felt a little weak at their strange looks. He touched his bald head and said, "Did I say something wrong again? It's not that you often say that there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests."
Is it? Although the Kingsley family does not have common interests with us, when they are forced into a corner, they have to fight for us. They can't even risk the life and death of hundreds of thousands of troops just to deceive us, right?"
Skullcrusher McGee's additional explanation made this silence last longer.
"What's this called? A wise man will always make mistakes, and a fool will always gain something." Sean laughed and stood up, taking the lead in applauding, "Not only did the general not say the wrong thing this time, but he also recommended it for us.
A new door has opened, a new door that we have ignored."
Others also stood up and clapped along.
The thinking of the entire senior leadership of the Eternal Night Army had indeed hit a dead end before. They were only thinking about how to deal with the threat of the Klein tribe on their own and preserve the Kingsley family army.
I completely forgot that this army is not just paper.
They can make full use of them.
The smart people present had already figured out several methods in the blink of an eye.
"Really useful?" Skullcrusher Mikey opened his mouth wide. He had thought of this possibility, but in the past, he had been denied too many times in such meetings, and now he is getting such high-level treatment.
, which is really a bit uncomfortable.
"It really works." Sean nodded seriously.
"As long as it's useful! As long as it's useful!" Skullcrusher Mikey said repeatedly. There is no way to describe the wonderful feeling in his heart. This is a completely different feeling from winning a battle on the battlefield.
"General McGee has opened up a new idea for us. Judging from everyone's reactions, we can tell that it is very feasible. As usual, now it's time for brainstorming. Let's talk freely and see if we can find the most suitable way.
" Sean's expression was obviously much more relaxed at this time. After having new ideas, he felt confident.
Kelman, the main chief of staff, was the first to take over the conversation and said: "I'm going to throw some light on it first. I'm the first to come. I think the decoy plan and the mine array plan must be implemented. Firstly, we will continue to explore their background.
Let’s see what progress they have made this time. The second is to weaken them as much as possible, and the third is to delay as much time as possible. The longer the preparation time, the better it is for us.”
"Well, that's no problem. Whether it's the political situation or the war situation, delaying time will be beneficial to us." Sean nodded in agreement and looked around, "Who has any ideas?"
"Let me talk about it first." Brann, another main chief of staff, raised his hand and said, "There are two ways for us to drag the Kingsley family into the game. One is to take the initiative after negotiation. We and Jin
The Slee family talks honestly and fairly and makes concessions in the negotiations so that they know the threats they face immediately. The advantage of this is that the Kingsley family has more preparation time and the possibility of accidents is low.
, it is even possible to cooperate with us, but the disadvantage is that the other party may ask for an exorbitant price, which will greatly reduce the benefits we obtain from the negotiation.”
"continue!"
"Another way is to ask them to passively enter the game. Before that, keep the news blocked and wait until the undead army of the Klein tribe is about to arrive at the city, then notify them. At that time, they will be out of their hands. The negotiations will wait until the fight is over. By that time
The initiative is still in our hands, not up to them, but the risk of doing so is too great. Facing these undead monsters, if we don't prepare ourselves mentally in advance, problems will easily occur. Once they can't handle it, we will lose everything.
.”
"Chief of Staff Brian's analysis is very accurate." Sean also agreed with the opinions of the main Chief of Staff, "Which method does the Chief of Staff think we should choose?"
"My personal suggestion is to cooperate honestly and unfairly with the Kingsley family. Although this method will damage the interests of the negotiation, it is more stable. Not only will it give them time to prepare, but we can also support them with some supplies.
, and at the same time, it also allows them to carry out propaganda and stabilize military morale. The most worrying thing about the Kingsley family’s army now is their military morale. Their morale is already low. No matter how fierce they are, they will face a monster army.
, it’s really suspenseful.” Brohn, as always, chose to seek stability.
"Chief of Staff Kelman, what do you think?" Sean did not express his opinion, but looked at Kelman. He always likes to take risks, and I wonder if he has any unique opinions this time.
Kelman replied without thinking: "I agree with Chief of Staff Brann. The undead army of the Klein tribe cannot be overemphasized. Besides, even if the Kingsley family wants to threaten us with this, they won't see it."
If they can threaten us, if we don't let go of the Danube River, what else can they do to us? As General McGee said before, can they still resist? Everything has two sides, but I think,
This matter is not entirely bad for the negotiations. When their army faces life and death threats, is he, Archduke Buck, anxious? Or are we?"
"That makes sense." Sean nodded thoughtfully, "Who has any other ideas? Keep going!"
"Let me add a few points..."
Focusing on the new strategic direction, the senior leaders of the Yongye Army started discussions in various directions.
Just like the name Sean just mentioned, this is just a simple brainstorming. No matter what is right or wrong, find out all the possibilities first, and then eliminate them one by one when the plan is officially made.
Keep what is useful and give up what is useless.
Generally speaking, anyone who puts forward opinions is above the standard.
After all, the Eternal Night Army Leader has been using this mode for more than a day or two. He has been exposed to this environment for a long time, and people like Skullcrusher McGee can give decent analysis, let alone those smart people.
He quickly added seven, seven, eight, and eight, and a complete strategy was placed in front of everyone.
The senior leaders of Yongye Military Leader unanimously believed that the main purpose of this matter was to seek stability.
Compared to the big threat of the Klein tribe, what's the harm in giving a little advantage?
"Leave the showdown with Archduke Buck to me over at the Royal Capital, and leave it to you to allocate supplies and delay the opponent here." Sean said solemnly.
"Lord, please rest assured and promise to complete the mission." The generals of the Yongye Army stood up and said.
"Follow the plan!"
"As you command!"
After completing the military deployment, Sean immediately rode the black collar and flew directly to the royal capital of Valesta.
As soon as he left, the undead army of the Klein tribe rushed out of the territory again.
Its scale is several times larger than what Sean detected, with a rough estimate of over 50,000.
The main force is still undead soldiers, but there are a lot of skeleton armored soldiers mixed in, headed by thousands of skeleton armored knights.
The speed of this army is still not particularly fast, maintaining about forty kilometers per day, but its goal is extremely clear, which is to go to Brother Port.
Although the new round of decoy tactics led by the Yongye Army did not completely fail, the effect was obviously not as effective as the last time. They could only follow the decoy troops for seven or eight kilometers and stop chasing, and then turn around and return to the main army, leaving Yongye
The military leader had no idea what to say.
The only effect of the decoy tactic was to slow down their advance to a certain extent.
The harvest from the black powder mine array is quite large.
Undead Klein soldiers always like to march in small groups, which is very beneficial to the power of black powder mines.
Their ability to improvise was extremely poor, and they had no idea how to learn from experience and lessons. Many soldiers in front of them were blown into the sky, but those behind them continued to move forward stupidly.
If it weren't for the fact that there were too few favorable terrains, the transportation of black powder mines led by Yong Ye's army would have been a bit slow.
Whether this undead Klein army has a chance of reaching Brother Port is still unknown!
…
Valesta.
Ten kilometers outside the countryside, Crystal Vineyard.
This unknown manor welcomed its two most distinguished guests since it was built.
The most noble woman in the Byron Alliance today is the Regent Princess Sophia, and the Kingsley family, the Guardian of the Carthusian Army, the Archduke Buck.
There are only a few people in Valesta who can invite these two people at the same time, and Baron Sean should be counted among them.
"Your Excellency, Baron, you are so leisurely and elegant. You have invited us here just to let us taste the crystal wine, right? I admit that this wine is good, but has your Excellency the Baron invited the wrong person?" Archduke Buck asked Sean
His dissatisfaction was expressed openly.
The implication is very clear that the relationship between the two of them is not suitable for drinking and talking.
If it weren't for the hundreds of thousands of troops that Xiao En held in his hands, he wouldn't even bother him.
Although the regent princess Sophia Liya didn't say anything, her bright eyes also showed doubts as to what kind of medicine Sean was selling in his gourd.
After the two returned to Valesta, Sean disappeared without a trace and there was no news for nearly two weeks.
It would be a lie to say that there is no resentment in her stomach.
After all, the two of them had just had the most intimate relationship, which was the hottest time.
She said that after returning to the royal capital, the two of them would have to draw a clear line between each other. She was only saying this on the surface, not privately, right?
A woman’s heart is like a needle under the sea!
Their thoughts are always in a state of constant change, even Sophia, who is the regent princess, is no exception.
Sean said solemnly: "I invite you two to come here today because I have something important to show you. It is related to our negotiations and the life and death of His Excellency the Grand Duke's hundreds of thousands of troops."
"Your Excellency, you don't need to remind me of this all the time. We have already discussed what can be said at the negotiating table, so let's stop playing tricks. The conditions you proposed are too harsh and far exceed the current conditions of the Kingsley family."
If you don't show your sincerity, there is no way we can proceed with the discussion. If there is nothing else, I will take the first step." Grand Duke Buck felt disgusted.
Sean's habit of jeopardizing the life and death of hundreds of thousands of troops already made him impatient.
This is something that is obvious, doesn't it need to be reminded over and over again?
"If I were His Excellency the Grand Duke, I would not make such a reckless decision." Sean said with a cold face, "There are new changes in the Swamp of Despair. I am here to kindly remind you, Your Excellency the Grand Duke, do not think that I am threatening again.
you."
"Your Excellency, you are here, why don't you take a look before talking? Anyway, there is no loss." Sophia Liya said in the middle.
"Humph!" Grand Duke Buck snorted and agreed.
In fact, he didn't move from beginning to end. It's one thing to be angry, but it's another thing to be worried.
"Open!" Sean didn't say much. If he was put together with Archduke Buck, most of them wouldn't have anything nice to say.
As the curtains fell, three steel cages appeared in front of everyone.
"What kind of monster is this?" Sophilia and Archduke Buck both looked surprised.
These three steel cages contain undead Klein soldiers, skeleton armored soldiers and skeleton armored knights respectively.
Although the undead Klein soldiers are more dead than alive, they are still somewhat human. The skeleton armored soldiers and skeleton armored knights are already very difficult to distinguish.
The three undead soldiers in the cage were motionless, silent, and speechless. If it weren't for the cold eyes that looked at them that occasionally fluctuated, they would have been thought to be three dead objects.
"Fire the arrow!"
Following Sean's order, a group of long archers immediately appeared around and fired wildly at the three undead soldiers in the cage.
This sudden move made Sophilia and Archduke Buck's personal guards nervous.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The three undead soldiers who were attacked immediately went into attack mode, banging against the steel cage. They ignored the arrows that fell on them and quickly pierced them, but for their
The action had little impact.
There was no roar, no anger, but still endless coldness.
"Change the spear!"
Sean then ordered.
This group of soldiers threw away the Andis longbows, picked up the spears next to them, and stabbed at the cage.
"Change to a long knife!"
The soldiers' spears turned into long knives, and they slashed at them again.
"Change the hammer!"
…
In a short time, this group of soldiers had changed seven or eight types of weapons.
At first, Sophia Liya and Archduke Buck looked confused, not knowing what Sean was up to. The further they looked, the uglier their expressions became.
They were frightened by each other's immortality.
An arrow will not kill you, a spear will not kill you, a knife will not kill you, a hammer will not kill you...
The body was riddled with holes, but the blood flowing out was pitiful. The external bone armor on the skeleton armored soldiers and skeleton armored knights had been torn to pieces, exposing the dead gray explosive muscles inside, which were still
The steel cage made a clanging sound.
Although this is the result of the two teams of soldiers consciously avoiding each other's two major weaknesses, this kind of violation of the characteristics of ordinary creatures is indeed a bit scary.
"That's it." Sofilia stopped Sean from continuing to change weapons and ordered, "Baron, what exactly do you want to say? Stop playing riddles!"
"Because what I am going to say next is a bit unbelievable. Only if you two see it with your own eyes can you believe what I say." Sean waved his hand, indicating that the group of soldiers would temporarily step back, and cleared his throat.
Then he said, "But I can use my personality to guarantee that everything I say next is true."
