The conditions for returning to the Central Plains? Ships and supplies. As long as they have these two things, Zhou Xingyun and his party can find their way back to the Central Plains even without anyone to guide them.
After all, Qili'an, Isabel, and Seluvinia all know the route to the Central Plains.
Moreover, Zhou Xingyun and his team can make a compass, a navigation artifact! Don’t worry about getting lost at sea!
"I understand what you mean!" Zhou Xingyun finally understood why Isabel said that the way to solve all problems has been laid out long ago.
Just when Zhou Xingyun figured out the way to break the situation suggested by Isabel, there was a sound of footsteps outside the house, and Amanda came with a group of imperial sergeants as promised.
When Zhou Xingyun went out to greet a few people, he found that Xiao Xiaosai was among them.
"You came just in time! I have something important to discuss with you." Zhou Xingyun quickly invited a few people into the room, preparing to propose a new plan.
"What is the important matter that Mr. Zhou Xingyun is referring to?" Amanda asked curiously.
Now that Houllier is not in Mayba Castle, Amanda also has a headache. She doesn't know how to entertain Zhou Xingyun, the Alat Band and others.
Amanda sincerely hopes that Zhou Xingyun and the people of the Alat Band will not act rashly so that everyone can spend these few days safely.
To put it bluntly, from Amanda's point of view, nothing is a huge good thing. So Zhou Xingyun asked her to discuss important matters, no matter what, she didn't think it was a good thing.
After all, without Houllier, Amanda really can't make the decision.
"We cannot sit back and wait for death in Maiba Fort." Zhou Xingyun said straightforwardly. Maiba Fort is an easy-to-defend but difficult-to-attack city, but they cannot wait for the armies of the Holy Alliance and the Oseland Alliance to arrive at the city.
To put it simply, now that the armies of the Holy Alliance and the Oseland Alliance are marching, they can form a special agent team to constantly harass the enemy and slow down the enemy's march.
"No, this is too reckless." Amanda immediately rejected Zhou Xingyun's proposal: "It's not that I don't trust His Excellency Zhou Xingyun's ability, but it's such a crucial decision that I must wait for Master Houllier to make a decision after he comes back."
"It will be too late when she comes back!" Zhou Xingyun said angrily: "We laid down Fort Maiba just to use it as a stronghold to use the mountains to deal with the enemy on the border of the Principality of Cheryl. But you have not done so.
With my consent, I joined forces with the Alat Bandit without authorization and planned to defend Fort Mayba. Now Hollier left Fort Mayba without saying a word. What does this mean? Do you take us seriously?
"
Zhou Xingyun questioned Amanda indignantly, and finally even threatened: "Since you don't take us seriously, well, the mountains will remain green and the rivers will flow forever. Your great empire can do whatever you want, and we will see you later!"
packing luggage!"
Zhou Xingyun feels it is necessary to let Amanda and others understand that he is not a slave of the empire and will not work hard here without complaint. We have no obligation to work for you. Your behavior makes me unhappy and I can leave at any time.
"Wait a minute! We can discuss it carefully!" When Amanda and others heard that Zhou Xingyun was leaving, they quickly stepped forward to dissuade him.
The current Maiba Castle cannot be without Zhou Xingyun and his party.
"Your Excellency Zhou Xingyun, you can't leave like this." A civil servant who looked like an aide quickly said to Zhou Xingyun: "Now that Lord Holier is not in Fort Maiba, you are the only ones who can contain the Alat Bandit.
If even you guys leave, the Alat Bandit will definitely turn against the guests and do whatever they want in Mayba Castle, and then the people of the Principality of Cheryl will be in dire straits."
"It doesn't matter to me that the Alat band of thieves do whatever they want in Maiba Castle? The people of the Principality of Cheryl are not my people, and it doesn't matter to me that they are miserable!" Zhou Xingyun shouted angrily.
It's really a matter of not mentioning something. It's okay if the other party doesn't talk about it. But when he mentions it, Zhou Xingyun gets angry.
Houllier was sure that he was kind-hearted and would not leave the people of the Cheryl Principality to die, so he decided to join forces with the Arat bandits and even planned to cross the river and demolish the bridge.
Now that Houllier's staff are still using this matter to coerce him, it is certain that he is soft-hearted and cannot leave the innocent people of Cheryl's Principality behind!
"Don't think that I can't figure out your thoughts!" Zhou Xingyun glanced at Amanda and others indifferently: "You are only loyal to the great empire and don't care about the people of the Principality of Cheryl at all. You have joined forces with the Alat Bandits.
, the moment you plan to defend Fort Mayba, it means that you have abandoned the Principality of Cheryl! Do you want me to make my words more clear? Your empire wants to use this opportunity to annex the Principality of Cheryl! Thank you.
Mayba Castle in the Principality of Lier has been built into the border defense line of the great empire!"
The good news should not flow to outsiders. How could Zhou Xingyun not see through Houllier's little thoughts?
On the surface, Houllier joined forces with the Arat Bandits to better defend Fort Mayba.
In fact, the great empire can take advantage of this opportunity to annex the Principality of Cheryl, so that the empire's rear will never have to worry about anything.
The Great Empire's Divine Sword Emperor, together with the Arat Bandits, guarded Maiba Castle to fight against the invading armies of the Holy Alliance and the Oseland Alliance.
What does this situation mean? This situation means that Fort Mayba has fallen into the hands of the great empire! The manager of Fort Mayba is a member of the great empire!
The Great Empire got Fort Mayba in vain, will it obediently return it to the Principality of Cheryl?
It is impossible to return it! Zhou Xingyun can almost conclude that it is impossible for the great empire to return Fort Maiba to the Principality of Cheryl.
"This..." Amanda and the others were immediately speechless. After all, Zhou Xingyun's analysis made sense. Maybe Houllier really had this intention and wanted the empire to eat away at Fort Mayba in the Principality of Cheryl.
"That's it, let's get together and part ways!" Zhou Xingyun raised his hand to signal Amanda and others to leave, and also signaled Wei Suyao and others to pack their luggage.
"Do you really not care about the life and death of the people of the Principality of Cheryl?" the staff of the Great Empire asked relentlessly. She believed in Hollier's judgment that Zhou Xingyun was kind-hearted and would never abandon innocent people.
"Take care! Of course we have to take care of this!"
"In that case, aren't you worried that the Alat bandits will go back on their word and harm the people of Mayba Castle?"
"How many people from the Principality of Cheryl do you think will stay in Maiba Fort after we leave Maiba Fort?" Zhou Xingyun asked noncommittally.
The people of Cheryl Principality, as long as they are not fools, will immediately stay away from Mayba Castle and the Alat Bandit. Now they are still staying in Mayba Castle because they were unexpected. No one expected that Holier would actually
Lure the wolf into the house and join forces with the Arat bandits.
Zhou Xingyun can be sure that once he leaves Maiba Castle, the people of the Cheryl Principality will stay as far away as possible.
Without anyone to suppress the Alat Bandits, who would dare to stay in Mayba Castle?
When he said this, Zhou Xingyun did not forget to add: "By the way, Mr. Houllier is right, I am really a compassionate and good old man. So I will give you a piece of advice that can save the people of the Principality of Cheryl."
People, in addition to the great empire you talk about, there are also the Holy Union Army and the Osailan Alliance. Do you understand what I mean?"
It was okay if Zhou Xingyun didn't say this, but when he said it, Amanda and others were frightened.
At this moment, Amanda and others suddenly realized that if Zhou Xingyun and others joined the camp of the Holy Union Army and the Osailan Alliance, the situation would be serious.
A careful analysis shows that the people of the Principality of Cheryl and the Alat Bandits are inseparable from each other.
The alliance between the Great Empire and the Arat Bandit has undoubtedly aroused the resentment and anger of the people of the Principality of Cheryl.
Assume that Zhou Xingyun joins forces with the Holy Union Army and the Osailan Alliance by forming an alliance, on the condition that he treats the people of the Principality of Cheryl well.
The Holy Union Army and the Osailan Alliance will definitely warmly welcome Zhou Xingyun and his entourage to join the army.
"Your Excellency Zhou Xingyun, please think twice!" Amanda said quickly: "We understand how you feel. Lord Holier joined forces with the Alat bandits without consulting you. This is our fault. We can guarantee that we will never do it in the future.
A similar situation will happen again! Also, if Your Excellency Zhou Xingyun has a clever plan to meet the enemy, we might as well sit down and discuss it in the long run! Your Excellency invited us here today to discuss the details of proactively ambushing the Holy Union Army and the Osailan Alliance, right?
"
Amanda, who had previously rejected Zhou Xingyun and claimed that she could not make the decision, could now make the decision.
To be sure, even if she couldn't make the decision, she still had to make the decision at this moment and agree to Zhou Xingyun's request.
Otherwise, if Zhou Xingyun really rebels and goes to help the United Holy Religion Army and the Osailan Alliance to attack the Great Empire, it will probably be more difficult than dealing with the Alat Bandit.
"Officer Amanda agrees with me and is willing to take the initiative and use the mountains on the border to fight the enemy?"
"To be honest, it's not that we don't agree, but that we don't have that many manpower..." Amanda said in a very embarrassed tone. Although ambushing the enemy in the mountains and forests on the border of the Principality of Cheryl can delay their journey, the risk is also high.
Very big.
Simply put, their troops are limited and cannot withstand hardships and casualties. If they stick to Fort Maiba and the battle loss ratio is low, they can hold on until reinforcements from the empire arrive.
Zhou Xingyun suggested taking the initiative to attack, as a slight mistake would result in the entire army being annihilated.
In other words, even if she kills one thousand enemies and loses five hundred to herself, Amanda doesn't think it's worth it.
"I don't need your people's help, I just need to take my people with me."
"your people?"
"Yes, my people, including them."
Zhou Xingyun pointed at Xiao Xiaosai. When Amanda saw this, she immediately understood that Zhou Xingyun planned to lead the little girl from the paradise to fight like the day before yesterday.
If Zhou Xingyun wants to protect the people of the Principality of Cheryl, as well as the people in Xiaosai Paradise, he must take the initiative to lay down the bridgehead of the Holy Alliance Army and the Osailan Alliance.
Where is the bridgehead between the Holy Union Army and the Osalan Alliance?
The seaport of the Kingdom of Lhasa!
The ‘way’ to solve all problems is the seaport of the Kingdom of Lhasa!
As long as the seaport of the Kingdom of Lhasa is captured, it will be equivalent to cutting off the retreat route of the Holy Alliance Army and the Osailan Alliance. Their armies have no way to retreat and can only fight with the great empire to the end.
At that time, the great empire will be busy dealing with the armies of the Holy Union Army and the Osailan Alliance, and will have no time to take care of the little Sai. Xiao Sai can take the people of Paradise to develop safely in the seaport of the Kingdom of Lhasa and build their own.
castle!
Furthermore, capturing the seaport of the Kingdom of Lhasa is equivalent to capturing the warships and supplies of the Holy Alliance Army and the Osailan Alliance.
The ships and supplies needed to return to the Central Plains were naturally obtained!
Kill two birds with one stone! Congratulations!
