Under Zhuo Ya's explanation, Annan quickly understood.
...This is once again a plan arranged by Annan in the first week of the week.
His initial guess was completely correct - rather, it was precisely because it was his own plan that Annan could guess so well.
Because no one knows "Annan" better than Annan.
Think about it... what kind of difficulties the Principality of Winter faced ten years ago.
The Polar Brotherhood had already been established at that time, but it had not yet begun to build the curse cellar, but it was probably already in contact with the Fallen;
Judging from the composition of the top management of the Icebreaker Army, the group of Winter Hands represented by the "right hand" at that time also had a lot of troublesome people mixed in...
Annan remembered that when he was in Noah, Old Bread mentioned that "the winter side has blocked the news, and they can't get the information." But all external matters are handled by the "right hand" of the Hand of Winter.
This means that the Kingdom of Noah could even obtain information from the Hand of Winter before. Either someone was selling the information, or a spy simply sneaked in...
In addition, the mainland nobles in the cold winter are also uneasy - the corpse curse circulating within the Melvin family is undoubtedly some kind of plan in progress; because Ivan's anti-corruption laws in various places have also caused many local nobles to
He is dissatisfied, and the Winter family has not taken action for a long time...it really lacks deterrence.
What if Annan had discovered something similar to the Melvin family's "curse of living corpses"... the little thoughts of all the forces in the winter.
Then it is entirely possible that he directly used "Right Thumb" Vladimir to administer this powerful medicine.
——First, let the Winter Defying People gather all the Hands of Winter who are suspected to be spies from other countries or have poor abilities to themselves, and then choose to defect. In this way, all these Hands of Winter will be eliminated...
The Grand Duke also had an excuse to consolidate power.
These responsibilities are said to have been transferred to the left hand, but after all, these are powers that have been taken back and re-gifted by the Grand Duke. You must consult the Grand Duke before taking action... This is equivalent to receiving power that has not been directly managed for a long time.
During the subsequent liquidation, those local nobles who had funded the Icebreaker Army would have an excuse to eliminate them. This was also a large-scale decision to return power to the central government.
As a final "waste utilization", Vladimir was allowed to enter the underground world and continue to gather the enemy Winter forces... While expanding his power, he could also plunder resources without worrying about his reputation.
In the end, Annan defeated it. While obtaining these resources, he was also able to defeat the enemy Winter forces in one fell swoop.
——It is indeed a good plan.
It is indeed Annan's style.
Annan's plans usually focus on achieving multiple goals with one stone. At that time, Annan had been frozen by the Heart of Winter for nearly ten years, and his emotions were extremely weak... It is understandable that he would be more ruthless than Annan.
"However, two years after he entered the underground world... [The Winter Defender] suddenly stopped contacting us."
Zoya said so.
It is clear that the Winter Defying Man is still active underground. Although his presence is not very strong, he is indeed gathering the forces of the enemy Winter and is constantly building and strengthening his own power.
But he suddenly stopped contacting Lin Dong.
No matter how Lin Dong changed his contact information to find him, he either couldn't find it or there was no reply. In short, he had completely cut off his contact with Lin Dong... and Lin Dong couldn't claim to be "reverse" in turn.
The Winter Ones are actually people we sent out." "This was our plan from the very beginning."
Those people have been liquidated. Now you say that you and the leader are in the same group?
Then there will be trouble inside the winter.
It would be the most troublesome if the Winter Defying Man revealed this information - no matter whether Archduke Winter admitted it or not, as long as he said so and someone deliberately publicized it, it would cause considerable damage to Archduke Winter's authority.
of damage.
...But the problem is that the Winter Defying People didn't do this either.
He has a lot of information in his hands and knows a lot of secrets.
Once it really breaks out, it will cause great losses to Lindong... But since he never breaks out, Lindong cannot send people to hunt him down, nor dare to hire saints to stop him.
"Because he has not done any actual harm to Lin Dong, we cannot be 100% sure that he has indeed defected. But he has been accumulating power for so many years, but he has never contacted us even once... This is obviously not true
It's normal and unreasonable.
"I must also admit that Vladimir is the strongest Hand of Winter. He is proficient in various espionage techniques, tracking and anti-tracking techniques. If he is being monitored, he can easily leave a code... not to mention that there is no
People can spy on him without making a sound."
Zhuo Ya said cautiously at that time: "This matter is indeed strange, but I suggest you don't worry about it anymore..."
Her opinion is to continue to wait and see - at least not to push the "winter-defying person" to the other side and let him become a real "winter-defying person".
Annan thought so too.
In comparison, the situation here in the Winter Defying Man is hazy.
The Melvin family and the Far North Brotherhood are much more realistic——
The former is both a "curse of living corpses" and "refined gold", while the latter is "secret communication with the fallen" and "the use of sealed forbidden techniques".
This bounce is really refreshing.
They don't have that many bells and whistles at all.
At least Annan didn't have to hesitate when he was about to take action, not knowing whether he was a friend or an enemy.
Annan never liked to wait, and acted decisively and neatly.
When Citalopram and Si Anke found time to go online at noon, Annan directly asked him to teleport over.
Grabbing the three players Citalopram, Si Anqi and Wandering Child, as well as the two high-level Winter Hands "Left Ring Finger" Zoya and "Left Little Finger" Zolgen, Annan and his party set off directly.
——This is the second day after Annan succeeded to the throne.
It wasn't even twenty-four hours before he inherited the title of Grand Duke... He ran out of Frostwhisper Province.
At this time, Dmitry, who had just left the province, had just heard the news that Ivan had transformed into a dragon and Annan had succeeded him, and was about to rush back... but before he could leave, Annan had already ran out.
And he also held the "tricolor scepter", the symbol of ecumenical authority.
This is a completely different level of action from the weak and gentle Grand Duke Ivan.
But at least Zoya and Zolgen are not annoying.
Grand Duke Ivan is the type that no one will dislike...
He usually has many scruples in his actions, and generally chooses to mediate and resolve disputes. He uses "prosperity" to forcefully overcome instability... He is the best among all the great princes in the past, and he is the young man who has escaped from the cold winter.
The youngest generation of Grand Dukes.
But this also means that Ivan will not be too tough in high-level battles.
But Annan is different.
The people of Lingdong knew that Dmitri had started helping Ivan with government affairs more than ten years ago - but none of them knew that the youngest son of Grand Duke Ivan, "Annan Lingdong", had been helping Ivan since he was four years old.
He is already helping to make plans; he has been weaving and dismantling many conspiracies since he was six years old.
Even when he couldn't run well, he could already perform complex complex rituals. At the age of eight, he had written poems and poems that have been handed down for generations, and invented more than ten new inventions such as the internal combustion engine.
While creating these great achievements, Annan even consciously hid himself... Only the senior management of Winter's Hand and his immediate family knew what he had done.
Of course, in Zhuo Ya's view, there is no need to hide this kind of thing at all.
Because this sounds so fantastical - anyone who sounds like it will think that this is Ivan helping his youngest son to build momentum.
In other words, it's bullshit.
And Zhuoya and the others had already carried out several "not so gentle" but effective enough tough actions under Annan's command. It was precisely because of this administrative approach that used both soft and hard tactics that Grand Duke Ivan, who even had to walk on crutches, was arrested.
Those nobles are afraid of.
But none of them could have imagined...
This "soft and hard approach" approach originally involved two people, one soft and one hard.
Now to outsiders, Grand Duke Annan had just ascended the throne and was extremely young. The Hands of Winter must have had many thoughts in their minds.
But only they, the "Ten Fingers", know... In fact, they have already acted under Annan's command.
Compare Ivan's decision-making.
They prefer Annan's style of conduct.
For example, before Annan and his party left for Wrangel Province...
Annan looked for his "left index finger" and wrote a paper of adjustment orders.
First, bring the frost beast troops over and place them quietly at their door.
