Chapter 736 Let’s Go Have some Fun Together.
The group entered the headquarters, but only Clovis followed Yang Hui into his office.
"Why did you come here in person?" Yang Hui poured a cup of black tea and handed it to Clovis, asking.
"It's been three years, and you don't miss me at all?" Clovis asked Yang Hui resentfully.
"Stop it!" A feeling of bad habits came to Yang Hui, and he had an urge to vomit, "Don't say it so ambiguous, I know your orientation is normal."
"... Get out of here!"
"Can't you change a sentence? Your vocabulary is really poor." Yang Hui said contemptuously.
"Because I am a civilized person, unlike you who are so vulgar."
"Yes, yes, civilized little brother, at the age of 7, you know how to go out and fool girls. Isn't this a beast in human clothing?"
"You! Very good, Yang Hui, you have successfully angered me, let's duel!"
"You can't even beat me with one hand."
"So you can only stand, and you are not allowed to fight back!"
"Am I stupid?"
"Otherwise I will tell Yu Fei that you fooled me to give her a bath when you were a child!"
"Puff~! You...you..." Yang Hui pointed at Clovis with trembling fingers. This guy has no martial ethics!
After playing around for a while, Clovis also returned to the topic and answered Yang Hui's question: "If only the fleet comes, Neil may not listen to you, and my [Star] Knights will not follow, and the combat power may not be enough."
"Not bad, it seems that you have learned a lot in the past three years." Yang Hui said with relief.
Neil was not someone arranged by Yang Hui, but a talent discovered by Clovis himself. If Clovis himself did not come, even if Neil would obey Yang Hui's orders, he would not complete them 100%. After all, in his heart, Clovis was the most important. How to preserve strength and return to [TEN] to continue to serve Clovis was the first priority.
And the [Starry] Knights formed by Clovis in the past three years are definitely not as good as Cornelia's [Rose Witch] Knights, and are even worse than Yang Hui's [Nightmare] Knights, but they have also reached the upper-middle level and are a strong force.
In the battle of Sakura Country, Yang Hui did not intend to fight a long-term war of attrition. He planned to achieve his goal within half a month. Unlike the original plot, it was not just to defeat Sakura Country and surrender. The territory of Bnitalia was still only a small piece. He planned to completely take over all areas north of Mount Fuji within half a month.
With the current strength of Yang Hui, it is no problem to take it down, but there are not enough people to receive, manage and guard it.
The two fleets brought by Clovis just met Yang Hui's needs, but there is a prerequisite, that is, they complete all tasks conscientiously.
There is also the [Starry] Knights brought by Clovis. As an excellent knight group, Yang Hui's battle plan has more options and changes.
Clovis saw these two points and wanted to bring people to support in person. If it was the previous him, he would not have considered so much.
"Besides, you don't know how annoying the local nobles have been in the past three years, especially the people on my mother's side." Clovis showed a look of disgust and disgust.
Clovis is the fifth prince who has real power. He stood out among the princes and princesses, and naturally he was greeted by flatterers.
The nobles of Bunitalia are very shrewd. The great nobles never put their eggs in one basket, and the nobles who are neither up nor down and are not valued by Schneizel need to find a new leader if they want to go further. And the small nobles below must also rely on one force to protect themselves.
Therefore, in the past three years, Clovis's governor's mansion was crowded with people, and the door was almost broken by the nobles who wanted to curry favor with him.
Generally speaking, if a prince wants to consolidate his position, he will absorb good nobles as his vassals to form an alliance of interests.
But Clovis was influenced by Yang Hui since he was a child, and he was not interested in these nobles who curried favor with him. After some investigation, he directly rejected the nobles who looked glamorous on the surface but were worse than pigs and dogs in secret. The nobles who usually performed their duties only showed a friendly attitude and did not explicitly accept them.
At first, this also puzzled the nobles of Bunitaliya, as if Clovis could ensure that his position was not shaken without them at all. This seemed to them to be completely impossible. After all, Clovis was far away from the core of the imperial capital, and he needed someone in the imperial capital to help him pay attention to the movements of the imperial court.
But now... Clovis directly showed with his actions that he really didn't need it.
Why? Because his ally was Yang Hui, and one person was far more than other nobles.
What? There is still no one in the central government? Does Cornelia count?
Although Cornelia often led troops to fight in various places, she was nominally a member of the central government.
So, now the nobles in the imperial capital have seen clearly that the largest force in the empire is no longer the Schneizel faction, but a common interest group with Cornelia, Yang Hui and Clovis as the core of the triangle.
"But if you do this, they will only flock to you more."
"I know, I just want to give myself a vacation." Clovis said helplessly. He certainly knew that his power was greater, and those nobles would be even less likely to let him go. After all, compared with Cornelia and Yang Hui, he was the easiest person to talk to.
"I can see that you are working hard."
"Didn't Balder report everything to you?"
"It's not Badr's report." Yang Hui stood up and looked through the window at the fleet docked at the port and the orderly Knights of the Stars. He patted Clovis's visibly thicker and stronger Back, "Badr can't do this."
"That's why your training method works." Clovis shrugged.
[Nightmare] The training method of the Knights is no secret now. Except for the self-esteemed Knights of the Round Table, the elite knights of Bunitalia have all copied it. Even the cabinet meeting has seen the effect and has adopted this training method. The intensity was slightly reduced and distributed to all regular troops as a standard training procedure.
Clovis is obviously much stronger now than he was three years ago. He is no longer delicate and immature, but more mature and heroic. Clovis used to be a delicate and artistic young man, but now he is a strong and sunny tough guy. .
"Have you ever participated in actual combat?"
"Well, [TEN]'s resistance organization is annihilating the operation."
"Very well, come with me."
"what?"
"Do you really plan to be a mascot?"
"...Haha, let's go."
Who would want to be a mascot forever if they could? He did hand over the military power to Yang Hui, but that didn't mean that he was really willing to be a cheerleader in the rear.
Yang Hui brought Clovis, fleet commander Neil, and Knight Commander Garrett of the [Stars] Knights to the combat headquarters.
"His Royal Highness Yang Hui, His Highness Clovis."
"Debrief the situation."
"Yes, your highness. At present, the enemy forces are mainly concentrated in Ominato Naval Port and Kure Military Port. The Sakura Kingdom Fleet in Ominato Naval Port has strangled the Tsugaru Strait. Our first fleet cannot maintain the deterrence of Itsukushima Base. Itsukushima Base Most of the elites have been sent to support the front line, mainly concentrated in Iwate, Autumn and Yamagata. The Sasebo fleet has left the Ominato fleet and retreated, cruising along the line from Murakami to Shemizu, with enough firepower to cover Yamanashi.
The Kure Fleet and the remaining Yokosuka Fleet stayed in Shizuoka without any movement.
On the army side, large units were gathered in Aichi, Nagano and Itsukushima, and a small number of units were based at Yoshigo, Showa, Yonezawa, Oishida and Harano as outposts. "
"How is the situation in Hokkaido?" Yang Hui asked. The war situation has now entered a calm stage. The Sakura Kingdom is unable to regain its lost territory, and Bunitalia does not have enough troops to attack more territories. The only thing that will be in danger is, It is the [Rose Witch] Knights who fight alone in Hokkaido.
"I had regular contact with Her Majesty Cornelia this morning. Due to the threat from Ominato's fleet, the [Rose Witch] Knights targeted the northern region and did not encounter any stubborn resistance."
"Well... Neil, lead the [TEN] second fleet to Miyagi, join the main force and launch an attack from the rear. Within a week, cooperate with the first fleet to capture the Ominato naval port."
"..." Neil did not agree immediately, but looked at Clovis. After seeing Clovis nodded, he replied: "Yes, your highness."
"The escort fleet with the order to surrender will set off from Yokosuka with Yokohama's troops and attack Shizuoka. I don't want to annihilate the enemy, but I must drive away the Kure fleet and the Yokosuka fleet!"
"Yes, your highness."
"One-third of Yamanashi's main force will be divided into the direction of Nagano. The speed should not be too fast, as long as it attracts Yoshigo's attention. Tochigi's defenders also advanced slowly to attract Showa's attention."
"Yes, your highness."
"Clovis, are you going to sit here or come with me?" Yang Hui turned to look at Clovis with an expectant smile on his face. Clovis's reinforcements have arrived, Bunitali Ya already has enough troops to destroy all the enemy forces in the northern part of Sakura Country, and Yang Hui no longer intends to be a spectator.
"Of course with you!" Clovis replied without hesitation, which was also the answer Yang Hui wanted.
"No, Your Highness, this is too dangerous!" Clovis agreed, but Neil and Knight Commander Garrett objected. They knew that Clovis had been participating in the training of the [Stars] Knights, and he also had good combat effectiveness, but they still do not want Clovis to put himself in danger.
"Okay, follow Yang Hui's order, and you are my knights. It's up to you to protect me when I'm in danger." Clovis interrupted the two of them with a wave of his hand and said to them seriously.
"But……"
"Enough, this is an order!"
"Ye...Yes, your highness."
Yang Hui stood aside and watched them with interest, feeling that Neil and Garrett were pretty good, at least loyal.
"Yang Hui, give the order, I can't wait." Clovis said to Yang Hui excitedly.
Yang Hui nodded with a smile, picked up the communicator, and contacted the resting [Nightmare] Knights: "Lejetta, everyone is ready to attack. Get my body ready."
