140 Confidential

"How much assistance can you provide now?" Lao Yuan narrowed his eyes and asked back.

"As long as you agree, we will immediately raise food and grass to supply your army from now on." Geglut said with chest out.

"And immediately share some important information to facilitate your insight into the situation more easily."

"If you need it, our ministry will immediately gather here to fight for you. But the premise is that you must approve the order to let these people go unimpeded." King Archipald also stepped forward and said with his hands behind his back.

"If they go out of their way, I'm afraid it won't end so well?" Lao Yuan continued to lean forward and asked.

"Silver pupils, liches, and humans don't have much difference in characteristics. Dread warriors can also saw off their horns to fight. For the Dread, horns can be regenerated like hair." Geglut said with a slight bend and a smile.

"As for Gargoyle Warriors and Crypt Shooters. These units are relatively small in number. With your power, it shouldn't be a problem to hide them."

"You overestimate me." Old Yuan smiled and continued.

"Tell me what you know."

"Then you must sign a treaty with us." Geglut said as he took out a sheepskin scroll from his pocket.

"I haven't got anything yet, and you are so eager to ask me to sign, I'm afraid it's inappropriate?" Lao Yuan didn't mean to reach out to sign, but asked leisurely, leaning his body sideways and propping his head on one hand.

Geglut and Archipald looked at each other, pondered for a moment before finally making up their minds to answer.

"The Northwest and Southwest nobles have become dissatisfied with the Earl of Alama and other central nobles, and now they want to find a suitable leader to fight against them." Geglut said slowly.

"An officer in the army now understands this situation, Geglut, your news is too ill-informed, isn't it?" Old Yuan said with a chuckle.

"More than that, we also got the battle plan of the United Legion." King Archipald added.

"The United Legion is expected to launch a feint attack on the frontal battlefield in the near future, looking for opportunities to conduct large-scale assault operations from the west (north) of the defense line, and defeat the noble army in one fell swoop."

"The information is useless to me." Lao Yuan continued.

"Of course it's useful, Lord Brave." King Archipald commented with the appearance of an old military officer.

"The United Nobles are going to control the front line, and then transfer them to the Western Front for defense to satisfy the reason that the Northwest Noble Army is not the main force."

"At that time, you will lose the shackles of the Northwest nobles and gain the support of the central nobles, and you will not be too far from our established goal."

"Then what about the allied forces of the Southwest nobles?" Old Yuan asked.

"The Grand Duke Nicholas plans to follow the example of the two northern provinces to protect themselves and withdraw from the war. Most of these nobles will be discarded by the Grand Duke Nicholas at that time. After all, they are strictly allies of the Grand Duke Nicholas. Not the subordinates of Grand Duke Nicholas. Grand Duke Nicholas will be happy to take over the territory of these people."

"At that time, we can build a bridge and sign a contract in China. Let Grand Duke Nicholas withdraw from the war legally, and he will refuse most of the southwest nobles to return to the territory. At that time, aren't these people at your mercy?" Archipa King De Tian said frankly.

"Damn, true Yin." Lao Yuan complained in his heart.

"Once Grand Duke Nicholas stands on his own, it is estimated that he will quickly integrate the Southwest Province and only allow him to be the boss. At that time, this place will be considered independent. Even if the coalition forces enter the Central Province in the future, they will control the two provinces at most. Really. It's a good plan to divide."

The more broken the better, the more broken the better the interests of the demons.Even the Demon Army is still considering letting the coalition forces lose the Northwest Province after entering the Central Province, so that they can see that Lao Yuan wants them to send troops to regain the Northwest Province.

Lao Yuan picked up the parchment and looked it up carefully. The parchment was written in two languages: Yongdalim and Mozu's common language, and indeed all the conditions were written on it.For example, the obligations of the Yongdalim side, the obligations of the demons, and certain plans after the war are all written on this sheepskin scroll.

Lao Yuan read it verbatim, and was sure that these guys really had no secrets, and said everything that needed to be said.He groped for the table, picked up the quill pen and was hesitantly preparing to sign, when he suddenly remembered something very important.

"How can I understand your demonic characters?" Old Yuan asked suspiciously.

"And why do I have no communication barriers with you?"

"The brave come out to be holy, that's the iron law." Geglut said with a smile as he took out the same parchment.

"In the ceremony of summoning the brave, a shell of a high-level monster is usually added to enhance your strength."

"The owner of that kind of shell is called Nautilus, which is why you can understand our demonic characters without any effort."

"What's more, we are actually communicating with you in Yondarim, after all, we are spies." Geglut smiled again and continued.

"Hmm..." Lao Yuan dipped his quill in ink, and was about to sign his name on the parchment when he suddenly froze.

"What's the matter? Master Brave?" Geglut asked a little strangely.

"It's not very comfortable." Lao Yuan said sullenly, propping himself up on the table.

"You...wait for me for a while." After finishing speaking, Lao Yuan closed his eyes and took a short rest.

Geglut silently cast a meaningful look at Archipald, and the two stopped talking, just waiting in silence.

"You stupid bastard! Don't use your tricks to control me! What do you know when you are a child!" Lao Yuan cursed angrily in his heart.

"Uncle, I will not agree to your signing." Koichiro said firmly.

"Although I am really ignorant, I have never experienced ups and downs like you, uncle. But based on my experience, cooperating with the demons will not end well."

"No matter which work, the brave or people who cooperate with the demons will basically end badly. Uncle, you have to think carefully, and you can't sign this contract!" Koichiro said urgently.

"Don't talk about this with me." Old Yuan said disdainfully.

"I have a way to prevent them from really getting what they need. This is a harmless good thing, as long as you grasp it well..."

"Is being emperor so important?"

Lao Yuan opened his eyes again, this time his face was full of exhaustion, he silently signed Koichiro Yamamoto's name, and exchanged the parchment with Geglut, and signed on that copy as well. name.

"In two copies, His Majesty Baojia's name is already on it, and I signed my name too. Now, I wish you a happy day." Geglut stood up and said.

"Walk slowly, I won't see you off." Old Yuan replied lazily.

"By the way, Mr. Brave. For the convenience of contact, Pinke Arcanist will stay by your side to make contact. She has reached the realm of high-level Arcanist at a young age, and she is very agile. Will He's a good guard."

Geglut patted Pingke's shoulder cheerfully, and said in a low voice, master, I am optimistic about you.Pin Ke just kept a cold face and didn't say anything, didn't express anything, it seemed that he acquiesced in the decision to give away.

"Keep it, there is indeed a lack of a maid." Lao Yuan thought for a moment and agreed, and he also wanted to take the opportunity to learn about the affairs of the Demon Race.As for whether this woman will get in the way, Lao Yuan is not too worried. Now both parties are harboring their own agendas, and they are holding back their stomachs.Even if he dismissed the other party face to face, he wouldn't say anything.

"I..." Pinke looked angrily at Lao Yuan, and then at his master.

"If you knew this earlier, why did you do it in the first place?" Geglut sighed helplessly.

"The hatred of government agencies has always been a taboo of His Majesty, but you quietly extended a helping hand to the rebels who hated government agencies. If the incident was discovered, it would be good if you were not sentenced to death." Geglut said in a low voice.

"Rebellion?" Old Yuan squinted his eyes. Although Geglut had tried his best to lower his voice, Old Yuan still heard their discussion with his outrageous hearing ability.

"Then I won't bother you, my lord, take your leave and see you later." Geglut and Archipald clasped their hands together.

"By the way, my lord," Geglut opened the tent, and seemed to think of something, then turned around and said.

"I think your mental state is very poor. You must be suffering from some mental illness?"

"My Demon Race's research on spirit is very profound. If you need it, we have many prescriptions for treating mental problems."

"Including treatment, this kind of mental illness with one mind and two minds."

Geglut and Archipald put on their helmets and hoods again and walked out, leaving Yuan Yuan thinking in his seat.

"It can cure distraction..." Lao Yuan mused to himself thoughtfully.

As time went by, Lao Yuan came out of his thoughts, and he had several heated arguments with Koichiro before he managed to suppress Koichiro's consciousness and let him agree to these actions.

Koichiro was quite stubborn in this matter and strongly opposed Lao Yuan's approach.This kind of almost naive objection is simply a child's thinking in Lao Yuan's view. One person knows that even if he does not agree, others will probably agree. The demons will definitely support a force in Yongdalim.That being the case, why not take the sweet dates by yourself?

"A lot of heroes compete, it's hard to say who will win the battle." Old Yuan said leisurely.

From now on, he doesn't need to pretend anymore, since he decided to cooperate with the demons and nobles to control this large area of ​​power.Then it is necessary to fully demonstrate your ability.

Of course, it is still necessary to play a fool appropriately.

"Go and rest." Lao Yuan casually said to Pin Ke beside him.

"Take this and go to the quartermaster. You need to put up a tent and go to rest. Don't worry, I'm not that kind of person." Lao Yuan wrote a note and said.

Pin Ke stood up and bowed without a word, and was about to leave. Coincidentally, Emily just walked in.

It's not that the guards at the door didn't want to stop them, but that they really didn't have the courage to stop them.After all, the person talking has already left, so there should be no need to keep it secret, right?What's more, that's Miss Emily, your lord's closest personal guard...

"This group of idiots, why didn't they report?" Lao Yuan became sullen in his heart, thinking that these two guards must be replaced, it is too ignorant.

Emily was about to say hello apologetically, but when she saw Pinke's face, she suddenly froze again.

"Distant cousin." Lao Yuan replied without thinking, and immediately felt something bad again.He was summoned here, where did the so-called distant cousin come from?

141 The Noble's Strategies

"I didn't expect to come here to adjust the relationship between women and women." Lao Yuan sighed.

Lao Yuan rode forward with several direct line officers under his command, sighing as he walked.

He didn't sleep well last night. First, he tried his best to explain Pinke's identity, but in the second half of the night, he couldn't have a good rest because of his dream.

Pinke's identity must be kept secret, but it must be explained clearly to Emily.Koichiro wanted to come out and explain himself several times, but was suppressed by Lao Yuan. He tried his best to convince Emily that this was a newly recruited Taoist team member, barely keeping Pinke's identity.

In the second half of the night he dreamed again.He dreamed that he was worshiping his ancestors on the Temple of Heaven in the capital, and he was dressed in fancy clothes and was almost a dignitary.He also dreamed that he was wearing the Generalissimo's uniform and dragon robe, sitting upright in the open.Listen to the civil and military officials below shouting long live in unison.

But soon after, he dreamed that warlords all over the country were revolting against him.Even the generals under his command stopped following the routine and condemned him one after another.Under the huge accusation, he finally dreamed that he was lying on the hospital bed, watching Ke Wenke waiting around him waiting for him to die.

He woke up from the dream and didn't fall back asleep all night.Contradictions lingered in his heart. He was still a very traditional person. This kind of dream made him feel a little panic, feeling that maybe things would not be so smooth, and everything was under his control.

"Bai Zhen." Old Yuan asked Bai Zhen who was beside him while riding a horse.

"I'm here." Bai Zhen replied immediately.

"What do you think about Alexander's death?" Lao Yuan raised his head and looked forward, asking casually.

"Virtue is not worthy, pretending to be a king, and death is more than justified." Bai Zhen replied after thinking about it.

"Then if we go to the central province, should the government be returned to Her Majesty Aisha?" Lao Yuan asked again.

"Your words..." Bai Zhen asked hesitantly.

"Hahaha, Bo Zhen, there are no outsiders here, but it's okay to say it!" Lao Yuan looked around, surrounded by direct-line generals, and no one would spread the word that they were talking about the political system.

"I think that Earl Alama has made a lot of contributions, and he managed all the affairs of the royal court in an orderly manner. Your Majesty is still young..." Bai Zhen said sideways.

"Then do you think Victor's republic is good or bad?" Lao Yuan asked again with a smile.

"The ancients said that a country cannot live without an owner. In my opinion, a republic is impractical."

"Hahahahahaha." Old Yuan Yangtian laughed loudly.

"Let's go and meet those nobles."

The northwest nobles and southwest nobles had been waiting in their barracks early, and each noble was waiting outside the barracks wearing exquisite enchanted armor.Lao Yuan and his party also dismounted one after another to meet the nobles of the two factions. The two gray-haired earls headed by them were wearing neat military uniforms and shook hands with Yuan Shikai enthusiastically.

"I have long heard that Mr. Brave is both wise and courageous. Today, I saw that he is really brave and heroic." The earl with a long white beard on the left praised slowly.

"You two old earls, that's too much." Old Yuan said modestly with a smile.

"Please."

"Please."

The three led the way and walked into the barracks, and the others followed closely behind.The opportunity to meet this time is not easy. Earl Alama has long felt that these nobles are about to take action, so he is extraordinarily watching and guarding against their actions.

Lao Yuan also came here in the name of adjusting the garrison. Although this reason is very bad, Earl Alama can't say anything. After all, the Hyperion Legion really wants to divide part of the troops to control the east (south) defense line.

The southwest nobles simply came to meet directly. They were not completely controlled by Alama and others, so they could naturally come to meet in a fair manner.Anyway, these meetings are basically determined to establish an alliance, and naturally they are not afraid of tearing their faces with Count Alama.

After the old Yuan and the three entered the big tent, they gave in for a while, and in the end, Lao Yuan sat in the front with half-pushing, and the other two old earls sat on the left and right.The nobles were seated, and the chefs began to serve exquisite and precious food for everyone to enjoy. This style of talking while eating is the usual practice of the upper class in Yongdalim. Lao Yuan also feels very kind, so he has always been very comfortable with this way of talking .

The two old earls next to Lao Yuan kept talking about some jokes and anecdotes to enliven the atmosphere. The whole banquet was full of joy, as if it was just a dinner party, a dinner party to celebrate future victories.

"Master Brave, Earl Alama has a plan to launch a counterattack today." The old Earl Smith of the Northwest faction said with a slow smile while holding a wine glass.

"Oh, there is indeed such a thing." Lao Yuan nodded, raised his goblet and clinked glasses with Earl Smith and said.

"Master Brave, to be honest, our Northwest coalition forces have suffered heavy losses." Earl Smith sighed again, drank the red wine and slowly put down his glass.

The other officers and nobles subconsciously lowered their voices, and finally got to the point. Now that the big shots are going to talk about serious business, they must also concentrate on listening or making suggestions.

"Oh? Lao Yuan didn't make any comments, and put down his wine glass to wait for the next one.

"Our Northwest Coalition Army has a total of 4000 soldiers who participated in the war. Now [-] soldiers have been killed and wounded in battle, and a quarter of them have been lost." Earl Smith continued.

"Soldiers are brave and good at fighting, and they go through life and death, which is really precious." Lao Yuan raised his goblet again and said to everyone.

Everyone raised their heads and drank the red wine in their cups to salute their soldiers, then fell silent and waited for the next sentence.

"The same is true for my Southwest Alliance Army. I have dispatched more than [-] soldiers, and now, there are only [-] soldiers left." Earl Clive, the leading Earl of the Southwest, also sighed.

"Everyone, the war is difficult, and injuries are inevitable. Not only you, but my Hyperion Legion has also injured more than a thousand soldiers one after another. It really makes me feel distressed."

Lao Yuan pretended to touch two tears, and the officers below all expressed their sorrow together.This kind of behavior made the nobles of the two factions feel disdainful. Who doesn't know that your Hyperion Legion has been serving as feints, and the dead are probably a group of light infantry.

"Yeah, all the ministries suffered damage. But the main army has been "waiting for work at ease", and the damage is much less than ours."
