"Huh, huh, that's what we'll do from now on." Sean showed a hint of pride, finally finding the right way to punish this skinny monkey. While holding her on her neck, he further threatened, "If you dare to disobey me again,
, Dad will make the largest and most delicious ice cream in the world, and then eat it all in front of you, without giving you a bite, and will punish you not to eat any desserts, meat, and only vegetables for the next three days.
, especially carrots, eat carrot puree in the morning, fried shredded carrots at noon, and steamed carrots in the evening.”
"Daddy, so cruel, Daddy, so cruel, Annie won't listen, Annie wants to tell Mom, Daddy is threatening Annie." Annie covered her ears and shook her head repeatedly. The life that Sean just described is absolutely unbearable for her.
hell.
"Barton, get out of here." Sean shouted.
The shadows gathered, and Barton's figure appeared not far from Sean, with his head hanging down, obviously knowing that he had just gone too far with little Annie.
Seeing his old friend admitting his mistake, Sean glared at it fiercely and said, "I'll deal with you when I get back."
Facing these two guys who care about eating but not fighting, Sean is often helpless.
"Uncle, Bobo, goodbye, Annie will come to play with you again later." Without Sean's instruction at all, little Annie's little mouth was as if it were covered with honey, and she greeted them one by one with a milky voice, looking like a familiar little girl.
.
In exchange for a while, I was praised for being so sensible and obedient.
Welcome to come and play often, and the polite words of Annie being welcome to come and play at any time are endless.
"What a little monster. Sometimes people forget how old she is." Sean couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
After a brief farewell to the staff at the tractor terminal, Sean jumped on the fire with little Annie in his arms, and returned to the Northern Fortress at lightning speed.
Little Annie, who was in Sean's arms, quickly found a new way to play. She opened her mouth wide, let the wind flow in, and bulged her mouth, making a sound of "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh playing" and having a great time.
Sean had just taken Little Annie back to the Northern Fortress when Sophia Liya rushed over and said with a cold face: "Where are you taking Little Annie again? You are crazy. I don't know if she will be there before dinner."
A history class? The history teacher is still waiting, come with me, dinner can’t start until the history class is over.”
"Leader Anke brought a group of recruiters back, which involved a relatively sensitive case. They took a look and took little Annie out for a spin. I will definitely not do it again next time." Sean did not betray little Annie.
She said that she sneaked out to play in order to avoid the history class. If Sophilia knew about it, she would be furious, and neither father nor daughter would be happy.
Daddy, save me!
Little Annie cast a look of help at Sean. For a child with an active nature, cultural classes, especially boring history classes, were simply a form of torture, second only to the cancellation of dessert punishment.
Sean gave me a helpless look in return.
Regarding the issue of early education for Little Annie, Sean had discussed it with Sophia Liya from the beginning.
Sean's sheep-herding early childhood education that restrains children's nature prematurely cannot compete with Sophia Liya's wolf-style early childhood education.
Sophia Liya's point of view is that little Annie was born extraordinary, and her starting point in all aspects is higher than others. Naturally, she must make full use of her. Only in this way can she be worthy of her talent and status.
From Sean's point of view, Sophia Liya seemed more like she was trying to make up for something, trying to prove in this way that her education was fine.
However, Annie's toughness is beyond Sean's imagination, and he doesn't dare to be too indulgent with her, otherwise who knows whether he will poke a hole in the sky in the future.
Sean himself did not think that his daughter was outstanding.
He simply acted as a lubricant in the middle, which was what he was best at. From time to time, at the risk of being scolded, he would take little Annie out to have some fun, and increase the bond between father and daughter.
Eventually, the current situation of tiger mother and cat father was formed.
In this way, little Annie will naturally become closer to Sean.
In private, Sophilia also showed a bit of jealousy. She obviously put more effort into her daughter, but in the end, this little white-eyed wolf was not the closest to her.
Sophilia knew the reasons and truth, but when she turned to face Annie, she immediately turned into a tiger mother.
Little Annie's struggle was in vain under the tyranny, and she was finally taken to history class by Sophia Liya. Facts proved that there is a price to pay for maturing too quickly.
As soon as little Annie was taken away, Ralph, who had been promoted to the head of the Military Intelligence and Special Operations Department, asked to see Sean in his conscious space.
Ralph said straight to the point: "Lord, have you just met Lieutenant Jason, Captain Greg's student? Do you have any orders from your lord?"
"As expected of the number one hawkeye of our military leader, news spreads very quickly." Sean said meaningfully, "I do have an immature idea. Since you are here, let's work together to provide advice."
"Lord, please speak." Ralph sat upright.
"I want you to alert him and let Greg go." Naturally, Sean would not play tricks on his old subordinates who had been following him for many years, so he expressed his thoughts straightforwardly.
"Let the traitors go, Lord, what do you mean?" Ralph suddenly changed his mind, "Lead Anke exists to catch traitors. Doesn't this make them derelict in their duties?"
"Don't be anxious, just listen to what I have to say." Sean made a calm gesture and explained, "I have carefully studied Greg's life experience and what he has learned. This person is a standard person.
Coming from an agricultural background, I don't have many sensitive technologies at hand. My main focus is hybridization, and I also have some interest in the new manor system. These things are not top-secret technologies, and we have agreed to teach them publicly at First International College.
Although he has some attainments in magic farming, the focus of magic crops is on seeds. Without the magic crop seeds cultivated in the Northern Fortress Magic Manor, he would be helpless and would not be able to make much progress in this area.
But compared to what we take the initiative to teach, those idiots believe more in what they have spent great efforts to dig out, so let’s just let them dig it out.”
"I still don't understand why the lord did this?" Ralph still had a bit of confusion on his face.
"People's hearts cannot stand the test. Have you ever calculated how much our security department has been stained with the blood of the talents we have worked so hard to cultivate in these short three or four years? Some top-secret units can say,
We can use closed management to reduce their contact with the outside world, but people like Greg who are at the forefront of reclaiming wasteland and farming cannot use this method.
The only way is to leak the secrets so that their value is no longer so great. Naturally, no one will offer a large price to tempt them, and they can cultivate their land in peace and contentment." Sean said.
The most fundamental reason for coming up with this idea.
"This..." Ralph always felt that this approach was a bit weird, but he couldn't tell what was weird.
"This method is only for those whose confidentiality is not that high and whose scope of influence is not that large. As for the core technology, I certainly won't give it away stupidly." Sean sneered, "I didn't say it was for free, but
We use him as a bait to catch those who dare to take advantage of us. The bait can be eaten into their stomachs, but all the extended claws must be chopped off. And the more painful it is to them, the more they will pay attention to it.
The value of the bait must be kept in mind. Wait until the bait has vomited out almost all the things it needs to vomit before starting the anti-rape plan."
Ralph's eyes flickered for a moment, and finally he nodded and said: "I understand, what the Lord means is that just eradicating this kind of people is a loss in itself for us. It is better to recycle waste, which has no value."
With high intelligence, we will severely attack the opponent's intelligence organization and release some information at the same time to divert their attention."
"If you understand it that way, there's nothing wrong with it." Sean nodded.
"I know what to do, leave it to me, I will make them miserable." Ralph said, patting his chest.
"Operation carefully, don't make it too obvious." Sean warned, "This kind of thing cannot be brought to the table. God knows that you know and I know. At the same time, carefully screen the information that the bait has. Don't do it."
It’s time to really send information to the enemy.”
"Understood, I will choose people carefully." Ralph can be regarded as a master in espionage warfare, and he can understand everything at once.
"Since you're here, let's talk about the latest information you have." Sean changed the topic to Ralph's job.
"What aspect do you want to hear, Lord?" Ralph asked rhetorically.
"First of all, let's talk about the new alliance and the Conclave of Witches. Has our King Laurie made any unexpected moves recently?" Sean first asked about the new situation of the Byron Alliance.
Watching the storm outside the mountains has become Sean Junchen's inherent entertainment project.
The series of actions King Laurie has taken in recent years are not only beyond the expectations of the world, but also beyond the expectations of the leader of the Evernight Army.
To use Sean's unique adjective, it's like cheating.
Many of the choices he made were walking on a tightrope. Below was an abyss. If you were not careful, you would be doomed.
However, the situation developed in a way that was most beneficial to him.
For example, King Lowry converted to the Holy See, honored Pope St. George as his godfather, and the Holy See became the state religion.
Pope St. George did not take the opportunity to oust King Lowry and take the royal power of the Lancelot royal family into his own hands. Instead, he devoted all the power of the Holy See to selflessly help King Lowry, stabilize power, and unite new allies. Just now
With King Lowry follow up.
Grand Duke Patram, Grand Duke Buck and Grand Duke Christian even activated the aura of wisdom and merged into King Laurie's new alliance almost without thinking, shocking the eyes of the leaders of the Evernight Army.
Although there are considerations of their own interests and demands in this, the gambling component is too great and there are too many things involved. How can they make such a childish decision so easily?
But they did it, and achieved jaw-dropping success.
The wave of resistance that had just started in their territory died down because of King Laurie's brutal methods when cleaning up the Lancelot royal family and the huge potential shown by the new alliance.
They are just a group of people who are looking for bad things. When they smell the stench of profit, they will naturally stick to it without hesitation.
This kind of thing is like rolling a snowball. The hardest thing is the little snowball.
Once the little snowball rolls up, the rest becomes much easier. You don’t even need to push it yourself because there will be a bunch of people behind you to help push it.
King Lowry is in this situation now. His starting point is high enough. When a community of interests is gathered together, many things cannot be done by oneself.
People who are in it will push this community of interests forward.
In Sean's view, they are both strong and fragile, and have internal problems that cannot be solved.
They are just a community of interests with common interests and have not truly become a whole.
When their interests are aligned, they will use their strength in one place to be the most powerful.
But when interests conflict, they are likely to conflict with each other and fall apart in a very short period of time.
From the moment this community of interests was established, the leader of the Yongye Army has been paying attention to their every move, analyzing the overall situation, the trends and purposes of the main internal members, and preparing for the future.
Such a community of interests has a strong instinct for expansion.
Unless the leader of the Eternal Night Army is willing to join them, they may target the leader of the Eternal Night Army after annexing the Witch Conclave.
The Eternal Night Army leaders are adopting absolute neutrality now, which does not mean that they will also adopt absolute neutrality in the future. At least they will not sit back and let the new alliance easily destroy the Witch Conclave.
Once the war between the New Alliance and the Conclave of Witches breaks out, the leader of the Eternal Night Army will intervene.
It’s just that there is no unified opinion on what intervention method should be used.
The marshals and generals led by the Yongye Army were all naturally gearing up and advocating forceful intervention.
They have been living in the mountains for so long, developing crazily and strengthening their military strength, in order to one day take over the world?
However, some people believe that this is not the best time for the Eternal Night Army to intervene in the internal war of the Byron Alliance.
First, there is a more terrifying threat from outside the Byron Alliance. If the cost of eating the Byron Alliance is too high, they must face this enemy alone.
Second, if their name is not justified, then they will be out-and-out intruders. They have wasted the good card of marrying Princess Sophia. The lord and his wife have to take care of their thoughts.
They are better than using roundabout means, such as providing equipment and technical support to the Witch Conclave, slowing down their collapse and dragging both sides into the swamp of war.
The longer the war drags on, the greater the possibility of conflicts within the new alliance, a community of interests.
"The situation has not changed clearly. Both sides are frantically stationing troops on the border. The number of Holy Legions that the New Alliance is preparing to form has reached as many as twenty-three. It is said that there are still six more in the preparation period. It is conservatively estimated that the final number will exceed
Forty, or even approaching the fifty mark, the total force will exceed 200,000." Ralph looked a little solemn.
"Sure enough, population is king." There was a hint of envy in Sean's words, "Now population has become our fatal shortcoming."
The war potential of this new alliance headed by the Lancelot royal family is far beyond their imagination.
Over the years, the leader of the Yongye Army has moved here and there, uniting the Andis people, the Crocodile tribesmen, the mountain Kentana barbarians, and the Kentana barbarians, and has only formed six major armies, with a total strength of more than 100,000 troops.
It’s only 1780000.
The new alliance only took two or three years to consolidate and consolidate, and there were more than 200,000 recruits.
This is not their limit. This is just the regular army under the name of the new alliance. Let’s not talk about the noble private armies in the hands of the noble nobles below. Let’s talk about the five great duke families. Which one does not hold 30,000 to 50,000 elite aces in their hands?
.
This is their foundation, and they will never foolishly invest in forming a new army.
