Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 594: Exploration (2)

"I agree with Sir Oru, but I think this test comes not only from Earl Rackett, but also from our Viscount Ante." Edward's pupils quietly turned pale blue in the light, a more common color in his mind: "We are allied with the Unicorn Leader, but in the end Viscount Ante does not trust us enough." Of course, we don't need his trust to put Ante in the position of viscount. According to Lord Allen's thoughts, it is to temporarily stabilize the people of the viscount's territory. But also to create a moral barrier between us and Earl Rackett. "

'"After all, if Ante was the Lord, then any invasion by Earl Rackett would be illegal and would be punishable by revenge. On the contrary, if the Unicorn Territory was ours and Daniel was Rackett's subordinate, then Rackett would be able to wage war openly under the banner of righteousness." Edward said indifferently, "I have to admit, war is not a good option for us now. It is best to avoid a full-blown war with Rackard, so Elder Allen will use this game of chess."

"Right now, both Rackett and Ante are probing, but the two of them have different goals. Rackett has a clear goal, and Ante, I think the viscount only has a vague idea."

Everyone in the room, including Oru, nodded in agreement. The dragon's gaze towards Edward changed slightly. This youth, who was about the same age as Allen, possessed the calmness and rationality that Allen did not possess. This was extremely rare at his current age.

"I have an idea for this reinforcement. In this battle, we have to repel Rackett's army while retaining a certain amount of strength. If Rackett cannot figure out what we are, he won't let this ambitious Earl cause any further trouble in the near future. So, everyone, if you have any objections, please don't hesitate to say anything."

Edward handed the stage to everyone in the study. He was already extremely skilled in guiding the thoughts and emotions of the people below him. This approach is necessary, even if the ideas put forward by the people below have no reference value, but they can be guided by various methods to guide them in the direction they want to go. By doing so, even if the final result was far from what they had expected, it would still make them think that this result came from themselves. Taking action at this time would give them a feeling that they were not only carrying out orders, but also realizing their own thoughts, thus greatly increasing the enthusiasm of these backbone forces.

Allen would do the same thing in the discussion, but he didn't understand it as clearly as Edward did.

Very quickly, Woody stepped forward and said, "Actually, it's very simple. Just let me use Inch Fire. According to the intelligence of the Unicorn Leader, the enemy has dispatched a total of 500 troops. Among them are 100 Blood Wolf Knights and 400 Blue Wolf Infantry. It's not difficult for Inch Fire to consume such a small force."

If anyone outside Allen's circle had heard this, they would have thought Woody was bragging. Rackett's Blood Wolf Knights weren't necessarily that powerful, but they were also the martial power that the count had carefully cultivated. A hundred Blood Wolf Knights weren't easy to eat, let alone hundreds of infantry. However, at the Battle of Blue Wilderness, Daniel's elite knight battalion was crippled by Inch Fire. Therefore, those who knew about this battle did not feel that Woody's words were problematic.

'"Inch Fire is our trump card. It won't be difficult to eat Rackett's army. But what happens after that? If Rackett finds out that we have less than a hundred men, we can easily annihilate his army. What do you think his reaction will be?" Edward's calm gaze swept across the crowd. "I think there are two possibilities. One is to have a strong curiosity about our army and our equipment; The other is fear; "However, neither of these reactions is the best outcome. The former will definitely use all means to dig out the secret of the Inch Fire, and the latter will probably go against everything. Earl Rackett and the other allies' armies will launch a strong attack on us to completely erase this fear."

"I heard that the count has an ally called Kent, who is also a count. If the two Earls join forces, even if we can defeat them in the end, it will only be a tragic victory. But then, through the mouths of these two Earls, more and more people will become interested in us. At that time, more enemies will surround us like bloody sharks, and that will not be what Lord Allen would like to see. "

Woody pondered for a moment, then nodded, "It seems like it's not a good idea to use Inch Fire. May I know what Sir Edward has to offer?"

Before Edward could reply, the dragon next to him took a step forward and said, "Send out the same number of ordinary troops, and at the same time display a higher level of strength than the other party." We don't need to cripple them, we just need to repel them so that Earl Rackett can see the damage done to the army. If he had any further thoughts, he would have to make sufficient preparations. And this preparation can already buy us quite a bit of time. "

"On the other hand, it's just a bit more powerful, and it doesn't cause the other party to feel fear or curiosity."

Edward nodded and said, "Mr. Long is right. I think so too. However, I would like to add one more detail. This time, bring along our Thunder God Cannon and Thunder Flame Heavy Rifles. First, we can review their actual combat qualities. Second, we can spread the word of good intentions to help our weapons workshop do some publicity."

Dragon frowned and said, "I'm afraid that when the time comes, Rackett will purchase these two weapons from us through the hands of others and then deal with us in turn …"

His worries are not unfounded, but Edward said: "It doesn't matter, these two weapons have some flaws in themselves. When our new weapons workshop comes into operation, new weapons will come out, and then we will sell these two weapons."

Thus, this matter was settled. This time, they had mobilized a team composed of the Mountain King, Dark Blade, and Inch Flame. There were about a hundred of them. Send out another 400 infantry to form an army equal to the enemy and set off from Dawn Castle the next day for the Unicorn Territory. This battle was presided over by Woody, and Bloy also set off with the army. With these two in charge of the army, it was enough to suppress the strong characters in the other party's army.

As the army set off, Lance was sleeping soundly in the temporary camp in the nameless wilderness of the unicorn territory, but he was woken up by the soldiers sent by Hilo. The viscount, who had just had a good dream, was awakened, and his mood was very irritable. He only snorted when he heard a person's name. Reluctantly lifting the blanket, he reached out to rub the chest of a beautiful naked woman beside him. Then, he sighed and changed into his clothes. Then, he walked out of the tent.

Someone was talking to Hilo when they arrived at his tent. Lance gave a dry cough, and the man turned around with a flattering smile on his face. "Good morning, Lord Lance."

"Not good at all, sir. When did you arrive?" josei

This person was Viscount Grayer, but today he had completely changed his clothes and dressed himself up as a merchant-like man. But also carefully darkened the skin of his face and hands with some paint, so that it would be difficult to recognize him unless he was familiar with him.

"I just arrived. As soon as I received Lord Lance's message, I made some arrangements and left. May I know what Lord Lance's plan is this time?" Grall asked carefully. The deal between him and Rackett was done mainly through the young viscount in front of him. To him, Lance was the patron, so he couldn't easily offend him. Even his tone had to be cautious, afraid that he wouldn't be happy.

Lance stretched and waved his hand, "Come on, Sir Grayer is certainly more familiar with the environment and the people here than we are." This time, Earl Rackett wanted to teach the unicorns a lesson. He taught them a lesson that they were ungrateful and refused to accept the good intentions of an unknown baron. My plan is simple, to move into Unicorn Castle. What do you think, Sir Grar? "

'"Well..." Grall smiled dryly. "Of course it's good to have Lord Lance in charge, but I'm afraid Sir Allen's army will interfere in the alliance between the Unicorn Leader and Sir Allen."

'"So what? Are all the Blood Wolf Knights I brought here useless? Besides, General Hillo is accompanying me this time. Sir Grar, do you think I'll lose even if that's the case?" Lance said disapprovingly.

"Hard to say, hard to say." "Lord Lance should not underestimate Sir Allen. As far as I know, Baron Allen has many powerful men under him, and his army is far more powerful than ordinary knights' armies," said Glar, taking out a silk cloth and wiping his face, "and it is better not to underestimate Sir Allen. "But lord lance has come at a good time. The baron is not in his own territory now. The one who will take charge of his territory is another brat."

"Oh, what a pity. I want to see that arrogant knight again." Lance said hatefully. The scene of Alan driving him out of Unicorn Castle that day was still vivid in his mind. Even now, that humiliation still lingered in his heart.

'"Well, Sir Grayle. You don't have to worry about the battle here. That's what General Hillo should worry about. Let's talk about Earl Gills. Do you think he's willing to accept some of Earl Rackard's kindness?" Lance pointed.

"Earl Gills is young, but energetic. Earl Oban has paved the way for him, and with the Ridley family's savings, I don't think Earl Rackard can impress him."

"Oh? Is it that difficult?" Lance frowned. "Earl Rackard wants Ark Harbor to work with him. Earl Rackard is interested in the geographical advantages of Ark Harbor. However, Earl Oban has misunderstood us in the past, so there are a lot of restrictions on business activities. If Earl Gills can accept our good intentions, it will be a win-win situation for both Earls."
