Scene 77 From Vargus to Roon

The news of Qiao Gendigang's invasion of the empire was a bit too shocking, and everyone needed some time to digest it. After the four inner court knights left, the others also dispersed. Metisa, Charles and others had to prepare for the next possible battle. The other members of the envoy had their own concerns and were persuaded by Brando Going back, only Uta was left by his side in the end. The head of the female mercenary was the nominal guard commander of the White Lion Guard accompanying the envoy, and he needed to stay and wait for Brando's order.

But besides that, there were two other uninvited guests. Chiara didn't see her at all, and she still stayed aside with great interest. The Duke's daughter didn't seem to plan to leave either.

After everyone left, Chiara asked, "Hey, what are you planning?"

Brando glanced at the little girl: "What are you doing here?"

"Why can't I stay here?" Chiara said, "You haven't answered my question yet."

"Of course it's to solve the trouble, didn't I say it earlier?"

"Huh, I can guess it if you don't tell me," the little girl replied proudly, "But you really plan to side with the Cruz people?" She looked at Brando curiously, because he has a rare Cruz blood , her eyes were a natural light blue, as transparent as glass.

"Now we have common interests, why not?" Brando replied.

"That's true, but it doesn't match your style of doing things."

Brando heard it a little funny, and couldn't help but squeeze her on purpose: "Miss Chiara, I've only been with you for less than a month, and I spent more than half of it hiding in the carriage. What kind of behavior do I have? , you understand clearly?"

Chiara glanced at the Duke's daughter at the side: "Arbitrary, self-willed—"

"Stop!" Brando saw that the Duke's daughter moved her mouth, as if she wanted to speak, and hurriedly stopped, he was already one head and two big.

Chiara grinned: "What's the matter, although I don't know why, but I always feel that you hate the imperial people, at least you won't say those righteous words - what kind of loyal alliance of the empire, this kind of thing is even in the It's just talking among other nobles, I don't believe your nonsense."

Brando glanced at the little girl from the Sifah family in surprise. She was actually not much older than the little daughter of Grand Duke Goran-Elsen, but the comparison between the two seemed to be that one was already an adult, while the other Still a genuine loli, of course Chiara still has the childishness of a girl,

But compared with the latter, there is at least a difference between heaven and earth. He didn't expect that the other party was really observing him all the time, and even told his mentality that he was inseparable. If the person who spoke was someone familiar with him, or a student Maybe he is not surprised at all by someone as observant as my sister, but the one who opened the mouth is a little one.

"How are you, scared?" Chiara looked at him: "Actually, it's not a big deal. Your city is written on your face. It's not difficult at all. In fact, there are many things I know. Why? So, do you want to make a deal with me?" She looked at Brando and replied with confidence: "You guys definitely didn't come to the empire for jihad, at least not just, you don't have to lie to me, tell me I don't believe it either. All in all, what you have to do must be quite troublesome, and although you are good at judging the general situation, your brain is too dull. When playing chess, the layout and ending are equally important things. Even the latter can often determine success or failure, if you ask me, maybe I will help you with kindness."

Brando looked at the egomaniac: "Then I really want to thank you."

"Actually, you don't have to. I can see that you are very stubborn, and you must not be ashamed to beg Miss Ben," Chiara said again: "But we can make an exchange, or you can tell me about the knowledge inheritance of the Buga people. , let me help you with a plan?"

Brando watched the little loli showing her fox tail, and couldn't help but shook his head. This was not the first time, and it seemed that the other party's knowledge of his non-existent Buga was inevitable. But now he is not in the mood to tell the little girl a bedside story, so he can only answer casually: "The knowledge of the Bujia people cannot be finished in a short while. I'm afraid that when we left the empire, I haven't finished the beginning with you, the transaction should be fair, and I won't make an unfair transaction."

"It's okay!" Chiara blurted out, "Anyway, I'm going to live with you for a long time."

"Huh?" Brando looked at the guy inexplicably.

Little Lolita patted her cheek lightly, and quickly changed her words: "I mean, I can stay with you for a while, why, don't you welcome a lady as a guest?"

Brando looked at the little girl from head to toe, but didn't see where this megalomaniac had any connection with the lady.

And at this time, a real lady, the daughter of Grand Duke Viero finally waited for the opportunity to interrupt the meaningless conversation between the two, and asked, "My lord, did you know about Qiao Gendigang?"

"What's the matter?" Brando noticed the duke's daughter's suspicious gaze, and was slightly taken aback.

"It's what's happening right now, did you know?" The Duke's daughter stared at Brando, she had been wanting to ask this question since before—when Brando, Rogers and others said those words, She immediately remembered Brando's promise at the beginning-although he had had a bad relationship with the Cruz people before, if he could really save the situation at this time, not only would everything he did before not cause him trouble, but It will also become his glorious emblem, a nobleman who will neither yield to the power of the empire nor abolish justice due to personal enmity, and who can distinguish right from wrong. The empire is still in the kingdom which will bring him much fame and reputation.

But what made the Duke's daughter start to feel a little scared, how did he guess all this? How did you expect Qiao Gendigang's attack? How did you expect the empire to be in trouble?

If this is a pre-arranged layout, it would be too scary.

Brando glanced at O'Neill, as if he had guessed what the other party was thinking, and simply nodded: "Yes, Miss O'Neill, I actually contacted Qiao Gendigang to make the people of the underground form an alliance with Torquening's Lion Man. Then order them to attack the Empire, you know, I have a sword of the earth in my hand, although it is broken, but it can still be used. I saw them earlier in the ring of trade winds, and they cried out to let I was going to be their great chief, and I even said that I would marry the saint to me, but based on the principle that different species cannot intermarry, I justly refused, by the way—you have seen their saint ?"

The Duke's daughter stared at the Earl with wide eyes, but the more she listened, the more outrageous she became, and finally realized that the other party was just teasing herself: "You..." In the end, she could only snort bitterly, knowing that this The guy will never tell the truth to himself.

On the other side, when Uta heard Brando talk about the saint of the lion man, he finally couldn't help but chuckle, thinking that he, the lord, is too unscrupulous, and those words just now will reach the lion man's ears I'm afraid that the enemy of Jinmane Tuo Quinen tomorrow will not be the empire, but Eruin's new head of the envoy. She chuckled, causing Brando to take a look here too. He had never seen his beautiful mercenary captain like this before. Uta realized his gaffe almost immediately, so he quickly calmed down and lowered his head. The head complained a lot to his lord.

Although Brando's words were absurd, they did not deny O'Neill's doubts. The Duke's daughter thought about it a little, and understood the meaning contained in it. She has been frightened these days, and although the current situation seems more It's broken, but it more or less gave her a glimmer of light -- at least it seems that their head of the envoy is not so unreliable. How many people say he is a lunatic, but how many people expected today? Woolen cloth?

She was silent for a moment, as if she had gained a little confidence: "My lord, is what you said to those Cruz people true?"

"I talked to them a lot, and there are inevitably some lies," Brando replied, "But which part did you ask?"

The Duke's daughter gave him an angry look: "Aren't you joking when you say you can save the situation?"

"Not all," Brando replied: "Miss O'Neill, this is the beginning of a huge war, and there are very few things we can control in this war. Seriously, at least until now, there is nothing we have Neither us nor the outcome of this war will change much."

The Duke's daughter's eyes widened again. She understands diplomatic etiquette, but she doesn't know anything about military matters: "But you still tell them that?"

Chiara couldn't help but chuckle when she heard the conversation between the two.

"Miss O'Neill," she replied, "this is the cunning of this guy. In a war, any factor will have an impact on the outcome of the war, but the key is how much it affects. Of course he can save the situation, but The key is how far it can be saved, it’s not easy to say, no one is a god in the sky, and can guarantee this kind of thing.”

"So you're lying to them?" The Duke's daughter felt that she had to take back her previous thoughts. That was the inner court knight of the empire, the secret agent of the royal family. What is the difference between this and lying in front of the supreme emperor of the empire?

"It can't be called a lie. We can indeed withdraw and leave. I just tried to give them a little confidence-after all, it is their duty to defend the empire, not ours. We stay and help them. It's all about benevolence." Brando replied: "Don't worry, no one knows how bad the situation will be in the end, or how good it will be. We really don't need to defeat Qiao Gendigang, but as long as we do better than others That's enough, as for what happens at that time, it depends on what we say."

The Duke's daughter finally got a clue. It seems that this is no different from foreign affairs, because they are all the same shameless: "My lord, what are you going to do next, will the envoys be in danger?"

Brando shook his head this time, and he couldn't answer this question. Just like Nimesis said, history has brought everyone back to the same starting line, and Qiao Gendigang's participation in the war has completely changed the one he knew well. history. Qiaogendigang is not a country in the true sense, maybe it can only be called a country, it is a collective name for the underground world, in the dark underground, only lords, city lords, patriarchs, different ethnic groups live together to form large and small Small and scattered forces, now he still doesn't know which lord or lords are in contact with the Torquinine lion people, but Brando has a vague premonition in his heart, and feels that this invasion is not simple .

The composition of the power of Jogendigan determines that its lords rarely launch large-scale military operations, but if the current situation is as he expected, it is a rare move in the underground world, and it probably does not only include the actions of a few lords , but Brando felt that this idea was a bit too absurd, even he himself could not accept it.

There is also a thick fog in front of him waiting for him to clear away, his familiarity with history is quietly disintegrating, and what is left to him is only the experience of two lifetimes.

Brando replied in a low voice: "I have a vague idea, but I have to wait for confirmation; before that, we must minimize conflicts with them, but we still have to focus on breaking through. If you accidentally fall into those underground creatures In the encirclement, we can't do anything."

"Breakout," the Duke's daughter asked, "Which direction are you going to break through?"

"It's best to break out in the direction of the inland sea."

"Inland sea?"

Brando nodded.

The snow on the mountains of Anzeruta melted to form rivers. These rivers flowed westward through many principalities, poured into the Sea of ​​​​Death Moon, entered the territory of Eruin southward, and finally poured into the Sea of ​​​​Shining, while the rivers to the north formed the Inner Sea. The land rivers, these rivers flowed through the north of Anzlova, and gradually washed out a hilly area, which is today's Fuyun Hills area. The most famous one is Yonghe Yinhe, which crosses Anzlova and opens up the Yinlong Valley. The south of the valley is called the Vargos area, including Vargos, Hemlock Town and other large and small towns. To the north is the Bear Lake area, where the river forms a lake on the hilly platform, and then turns eastward under the obstruction of the Short Mane Mountains, and flows into a huge inland lake.

And this lake is the inland sea that Brando said - the inland sea of ​​the empire.

The Imperial Inland Sea is also known as the Sublime Inland Sea. It is a huge inland lake itself, but it spans dozens of regions, and the lake water has extremely high salt content, so it is not an exaggeration to call it a sea. The Sublime Inner Sea starts from Cloak Bay in the west, extends to the Metz region in the north, and reaches the Shortmane Mountains in the east. The entire sublime inland sea almost divides the empire into two from east to west and from south to north, but it has given birth to the most brilliant civilization of the Cruz people. The countless ports and cities dotted along the coast have made this huge empire a thousand years old. Over a long period of time, the entire Inner Sea has almost formed the most prosperous and elite region of the empire, the continuous southern Great Plains, the prosperous Cloak Bay, and the shipbuilding town of Bandyron. , and the heartland of the empire - Violet Valley.

It can even be said bluntly that if the entire empire is a sophisticated magic machine, the sublime inner sea is the magic core of this machine, which provides the empire with a steady stream of abundant power and energy, materials, manpower and money, and even Government orders from the center of the empire are transmitted to every corner of the empire through this inland sea.

And the sublime inner sea, on the west of the Floating Cloud Hills, emerges a corner of the mouth of the Milky Way. Brando knows that there is a port named Loen there. Sa stands north and south, and if Asa falls, this port will be the final springboard for the empire to counterattack into Anzlova in the future. Of course, it is impossible for Qiao Gendigang to let go of this port, but the problem is that Brando can be sure that the opponent's attack center will definitely be Asaph and not Ruen, because in the Violet Valley to the west of the Evergreen Corridor, the north There are a large number of local legions stationed in the flower and leaf collars, not to mention the red legion in the wilds of the four borders. If they can't take Asaph in the shortest time, then it will be considered that the golden mane lions of Tuoquinin have captured The Rokozy-Broken Sword Mountain Range defense line will also be blocked in Vargos by the imperial [***] regiments from all sides who came after hearing the news. At that time, if Xiang Xiang wants to capture Asaph again, I am afraid that he will have to pay a terrible price. the price.

On the other hand, after taking down Asaph, dealing with the small port of Loen is a matter of catching a turtle in a jar. At that time, even if the Cruz people react, it will never be possible for the army of Violet Valley to swim across the sublime inner sea. How about supporting Ruen?

When Loen fell, the Imperial Navy lost its fulcrum for landing, and the center of the war could only return to Asaph, and the Empire had to break through by land. This is obviously what the underground people in Jorgendigan wanted to see the most. matter.

The Duke's daughter seemed to understand Brando's thoughts, but her eyes fell on the map. From Vargus to Loen, there are at least three regions in between. Obviously, this journey will not be too smooth. It doesn't matter what kind of breakthrough you have to go through.

"This road is not easy." Unlike the silence of the Duke's daughter, Chiara asked directly: "Jogendigan is already ahead of us, are you sure you can break through their blockade?" ?”

Brando shook his head lightly, grasping based on certain information, but at this moment, all they can do is wait-I believe that the exact news will come back soon. From Vargus to the Bear Lake area, where did the Jorgendigan army advance during this day? Did the emperor [***] stationed there, especially the private troops of the nobles, resist, or Said that even if he escaped, and where he fled to, this is all the information he needs.
