What's wrong with a lord daddy who just wants to draw cards?

Chapter 190-189- The boy with the power of war
At this moment, in the northern part of the empire, where the newly established territorial border meets the northern border, in an inconspicuous town nearby, a raid is quietly brewing here.

The elite soldiers that Slampia used to break the boat have already transformed this town into a temporary military base, where they recharge their batteries and unite some forces in the north that are ready to move.

As long as the motherland gives an order, their combined forces will go south together and attack the key points of the northern part of the empire.

They don't want to conquer anything, they just want to delay the offensive of the Empire's frontline legions and give the motherland a chance to breathe.

In the brick and stone building that was originally the town hall, the commander was studying the terrain map here. At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps in the corridor outside the door. The sound insulation of the town's buildings was extremely poor, and the commander did not need to I knew there must be bad news coming again, and I couldn't help but sigh.

"May the God of Glory bless me, Silampia."

"Your Excellency, Commander! The investigation report of the scout team is out! The empire really has no extra troops to garrison the border. There are only scattered teams scattered along the entire border. The situation is great!"

"what?!"

Louis couldn't believe his ears. Did the empire really not fortify its borders?A defense like this would definitely not be able to stop them.

He took the report and read it carefully from top to bottom, for fear of missing a word.

After he read it and was sure it was correct, his whole face turned rosy and he said three words in a row:
"Now is a great time to launch an attack. Hurry up and notify our northern allies so that they can prepare quickly."

"Then when should we set off?"

Louis turned his head and looked at the strategic map spread out on the table. The area that completely coincided with the place marked by Domi was marked with a big red cross:

"They never expected that we would land here and unite with the people from the north. Let's set it at five o'clock tomorrow morning to catch them by surprise! May God bless me Silampia!"

On the other side, the imperial border defense line was guarding the fortress.

The members of the cooking squad disguised as border guards once again put on their cook uniforms and left quickly, leaving only a few pairs of superficial armors in the fortress.

Similar scenes were staged in almost all the border forts near this area.

Early the next morning, the profit-seeking private troops in the north completed the rendezvous and regrouping with Slampia's elite assault troops. In order to unify their actions, the command was also handed over to Louis.

He was riding on a tall horse, pulled out the long sword from his waist and pointed it in the direction of the empire, shouting: "All troops, attack!"

A large force of [-] heavy cavalry, [-] infantry and [-] archers was launched.

The sound of horse hooves and marching footsteps were drowned in the thick snow. They were like silent ghosts, quickly approaching their destination, the important town on the northern border of the empire.

Louis had calculated that as long as they captured the lightning there, they would be able to get more horses, supplies, baggage carts, and coolies pulling carts. The most important thing was that there would be a well-maintained road leading directly to the hinterland of the empire, which would allow them to The marching speed is greatly increased.

As long as they enter the hinterland, with their mobility, they can burn, kill and plunder everywhere, which is enough to give the empire a headache.

In addition to this, he also has a purpose, which is to "support war with war". Along the way, he calls on those countries that were conquered and ruled by the empire, gives them weapons, and expands his team.

When their team grew to the point where the empire had to take it seriously, the Burning Cauldron Plan was truly completed.

At least Louis was confident in this. The thought that he could lead tens of thousands of rebels to resist the tyranny of the empire made him excited. That momentum directly affected the people around him. For a time, the morale of the entire team was reduced. There has been considerable improvement.

After two hours of trekking at full speed, the scouts returned and reported that the outline of the town could be seen.

"How is the situation with the defenders?"

A scout jumped off his horse and half-knelt in front of Louis: "Everything is as expected by the Commander. There are very few defenders in the town, and there is only a small team of ten people patrolling the surrounding area."

Louis' excitement was palpable, and he stroked his sexy chin proudly:
"The empire's stupidity is that we sound the horn of counterattack and order the cavalry to start diving! The infantry and archers quickly follow!"

They are now hiding in the pine forest on the hills outside the town. In front of them is a flat plain, covered with snow, and there is absolutely nothing that can stop the iron hooves of the heavy rider.

The cavalry checked their equipment one last time and then geared up. After receiving the order to attack, they clamped their horses' bellies. With the horses neighing, five hundred elite heavy cavalry launched a devastating charge towards the basically undefended town!

The spears shining as sharp as white snow formed a row.

Even in the empire, five hundred well-trained heavy cavalry with rich combat experience are a force that cannot be underestimated.

"kill!!"

The soldiers held up their swords and shields, shouting and rushing down the hillside. For a moment, the snow-white hillside was covered by a torrent of steel, which was daunting.

At this time, the cavalry unit as the vanguard had rushed into the town gate and rampaged all the way, destroying the facilities inside and killing soldiers as much as possible.

But as time went by, they gradually discovered that something was wrong. Why was there no civilian on the road in the town?

Just now, the scouts said that there were civilians inside. Could it be that they all had no idea and hid in advance?
"No, there might be something fishy here, let's retreat first!" The commander of the cavalry regiment made a decision immediately, but when they were about to slow down the horses and turn their heads, countless guns suddenly rushed out from the alleys on both sides. soldiers.

As we all know, since ancient times, spearmen have defeated cavalry, especially in narrow street fighting.

The cavalry only struggled for a while before they were dismounted by numerous spears. Of the [-] heavy cavalry, only less than a hundred were left and fled back to the main force.

They shouted that there was an ambush inside, there was an ambush inside!
But this is not an online game, where a few people can type a few words on a public screen in the world to let everyone know the information. This is a real battlefield.

When Louis found out, it was already a minute later. He quickly asked the messenger to blow the retreat horn, but the soldiers on both sides had already rushed in because they were too far away.

Then they saw a rain of fire shooting out from the back of the town. A large number of imperial heavy-armed soldiers rushed out of the houses in the town, and together with the spearmen in the middle, they strangled all the soldiers who were deep behind the enemy's rear.

Louis suddenly felt like a ghost. If the guards around him hadn't quickly raised their shields to block Louis, he would have been shot into a sieve by ignited arrows or burned alive in the next second.

"Commander, leave quickly!"

"But...but..."

"Hurry up...if we don't hurry up, we'll have to..."

Before the guard could finish speaking, his chest was directly pierced by the charging cavalry. The smelly blood soaked Louis' whole body. He could feel the heat and stickiness on his skin, and he could no longer tell whether it was his own. The blood is still the blood of the guards.

When a spearman mounts a horse, isn't that what he calls cavalry?

Like a dragon coming out of the sea, a shot directly penetrated the guard and the commander who died before leaving the battle.

"The enemy commander is dead! Disarm and kill!"
-
It was already a day later when the news came back to the Imperial City.

Duomi, who was working hard in the Intelligence Department, immediately received the good news from the border. After reading it, he got up to find Simon without saying a word. "It seems that your plan was a great success. Congratulations, this credit is not insignificant." Simon was also very happy, and the threat on the border was ended.

"Master Chief Assistant is ridiculous. I'm just the one who proposed it. The one who implements it is the one who gets the most credit, isn't it?"

Domi's intention is very clear, that is, to give most of the credit to Simon. It would be nice to have a name for himself, and he can also brush up Simon's favorability. After all, even if it is a reward from the emperor, it will not be enough for him who was born in Blofield. It's nothing to humans.

Simon took a deep look at Domi. He had a mind like him and knew exactly what Domi needed now, which was not just a reliable background, which he could use as a bargaining chip to persuade others.

If the two of them had just met, he would just laugh it off as a joke.

But now, he already feels that the child Dominic Blofeld...no, it can no longer be called a child in the strict sense. This person is definitely worth making friends with. This is an investment in the future.

With this in mind, Simon already knew what to do next.

"Haha, then I would rather obey orders than be respectful. However, I will also state your contribution to His Majesty, Minister Dominic. Please don't shirk this point anymore."

"Then please leave it to the Chief Assistant."

The two foxes, one old and one young, looked at each other and smiled, as if they had said everything, and yet they seemed to have said nothing, all in silence.

After taking a sip of health tea, Simon took the initiative and said:

"By the way, in order to celebrate the victory of this counter-raid battle, I plan to hold a banquet at home tomorrow night. I hope you, Minister Dominic, can come too. I believe we will have a more enjoyable time at the banquet."

If Simon's attitude seemed a bit vague just now, now he has made it clear that he wants to enter into a relationship with Dora.

And this is what Duomi wants, so there is no reason to shirk it:

"No problem, I will bring Sia with me then."

"It's so good~"

In order to greatly enhance his presence and relationship with Simon at this banquet, Duomi made preparations in advance.

After putting on an exquisite and handsome black dress and dressing up carefully for a long time, he could guarantee that this must be the most handsome time since he was born.

Sia also understood the importance of this banquet to Domi. As a female companion who attended with him, she also put a lot of thought into it and even put on high heels that hurt her feet because she wanted Domi to be the center of attention. The person who attracts the most attention.

This was different from her previous instructions to Duomi to keep a low profile, because she knew how reckless Duomi was when he was arrogant. At that level, being dazzling at the banquet was nothing at all.

The carriage picked up the two of them, and then set off from the palace and all the way to the gate of the chief minister's official residence in the city.

There was a lot of excitement in front of the door, and Simon himself, his wife, son and daughter greeted the guests at the door.

The two of them have participated in this kind of occasion so many times since they were young that they can't even count them. They are old experts.

Holding Sia's little hand, she calmly walked out of the carriage and stepped forward on the red carpet. Simon was stunned for a moment when he saw it, and then greeted him warmly:
"Domi, you and Your Highness the Fifth Princess are really talented and beautiful."

"I've won the award, I've won the award~"

"Here, let me introduce you two. This is Quanzi and my daughters, Kerry, and Susan."

The two children, who are three years younger than Duomi, do a decent job in etiquette. Duomi can still see their twinkling little eyes, which are filled with the word "adoration". Little fanboy and little fanmei +1
"It's a little cold outside, let's go inside quickly..."

In front of the emperor, what he said represented the distribution of credit, but at the dinner, Simon praised Domi greatly, which gave everyone who came to attend a new understanding of the young minister.

It turns out that he not only has management talent, but also has a unique strategic vision.

Next to him, Shia truly experienced what it meant to be proud. The boy next to her was like the sun, radiating endless brilliance.

After the main purpose of the banquet is achieved, the next step will be much easier. It’s time to dance, it’s time to drink and drink, people you know can gather together to chat, and just sit back and wait for the banquet to end.

This is the same as the wine party in the previous life, but it's a little more sophisticated.

Domi naturally knew this after attending so many banquets. After chatting with some people for a few token words, he and Sia walked out of the banquet hall with nothing to do and went to the balcony outside to admire the moon tonight.

"What are you going to do after establishing a relationship with Simon Bolivar?" Sia asked curiously.

Duomi shrugged: "Who knows? I'm not doing anything right now, but waiting for things to come to me. If you find any problems, you might as well tell me. Maybe I'll have something to do."

Xia really thought about it, and said after a moment: "It's true. I wonder if you've noticed that the revenue and expenditure of the treasury has become unbalanced again. Originally, it had achieved a balance of payments through reforms, but recently, for some reason, the expenditure has increased. Get up..."

"I also saw this in yesterday's intelligence. Then I went to the Finance Department to check the expenditure records in recent days and found that they were all military expenditures used to suppress the resistance forces in the new country."

"Military expenditures..." Sia pinched her chin and pondered: "The resistance is really a headache."

"And the suppression is still endless."

"That's right. After the empire conquers Silampia, suppressing the rebellion may become the top priority in the country."

Sia raised her head to look at the crescent moon in the sky, worry revealed in her brows:

"Now I'm afraid that a huge resistance organization will suddenly appear..."

Quietly, Duomi put his hand on Shia's shoulder: "Don't worry, it will take at least a few more years for the civil resistance organization to grow."

"If something unexpected happens, will the resistance organization still be there at that time?"

There is no reason. Sia always feels that it is likely to come true in the future. Is it a premonition...

By that time, they were probably no longer children.

Duomi's thoughts suddenly strayed far away, and he thought of a lot.

"At that time, we will go to suppress the rebellion ourselves. Maybe it will be fun."
