Chapter 203 Secret Communication

Giant Yun was not angry. Instead, he seemed to appreciate Tang Zhao quite a bit in his words. This attitude made Tang Zhao stunned for a moment, but he was relieved after thinking about it.

In fact, in the eyes of most cloud giants, low-level giants may be like hobgoblins looking at ordinary goblins. They don't think they are existences of the same status or the same race as themselves, but only as some kind of consumables, that is, props.

Tang Zhao nodded slightly at the other party, didn't say much, and followed Leina to listen. After all, they were just outsiders, and they didn't have the right to speak about most things, and they didn't even know what was going on.

The Governor of the Northern Province acted cautiously and did not choose to come along this time. It stands to reason that people in Lin En's position do not need to participate in such risky things, but he still insisted on coming.

The relationship between him and the governor of the northern province seems to be really good, and the other party is assured that he will be responsible for negotiating such an important matter.

The two sides first engaged in a lot of useless social rhetoric, and went around a lot before getting to the point.

"What is the purpose of the giants, or to put it another way, how do you get back to your original positions. Nirn doesn't want to make the scene too ugly, but you have a limit. The giants are already in the war against the dragons If you fail once, I think you don’t want to see a second failure, and if you lose a few more times, you won’t even have a place to stay.”

"It's really ugly to speak. If it's my fellow giants, they might not be able to control the impulse to attack you directly and grind you into powder."

"Humans are now an equal race to giants. We are far superior to giants in terms of number and territory. The premise for me to respect you is that you must also give human beings enough respect. Now your men are fighting against us. Do not expect respect at this time when they have plundered wantonly on their territory and countless people have left their homes.”

"The world is like this. The weak eat the strong. Weak races or individuals have no right to survive and can only accept the rule of stronger ones. Although human beings are weak, according to my observations, you have clearly implemented this point very well. The problem is not me What about humans, just because I'm not human."

"Sophistry is useless. The mistakes you made on the territory of Nairn will not be reduced. What I want is a solution."

"The matter is also simple. I just wanted to test your abilities. Now that the goal has been achieved, the robbing is almost done. You only need to pay a small sum of gold and silver, and we will naturally withdraw. "

Lynn didn't speak, but just looked at Tugrik with a calm expression, the meaning couldn't be more obvious-he would never accept this kind of agreement.

In the Middle Ages of another world, the pirates were quite powerful, and even had the ability to rob a country’s king’s residence. In this case, many nobles would choose to spend money to eliminate disasters and give a sum of money to admit that they were unlucky. Anyway, it was just robbery It's not about territory again, but it's a different story for the Nairn.

They claim to be the successors of Ostia. Although their comprehensive strength can only be regarded as the middle level on the mainland, they are more proud than many countries. In their eyes, this kind of agreement is completely humiliating and humiliating, unless the situation is really serious. Powerless, otherwise it will be difficult for them to accept.

At the same time, due to the existence of various intelligent races in the world, the racial consciousness of human beings in this world is actually much stronger than the medieval level that Tang Zhao thought before. Whoever decides to sign such a thing between the two governors will inevitably fall behind. It is true that they will definitely be held accountable by then, so this matter is unacceptable anyway.

"I knew it would be like this," Tugrik shrugged, "Then do you want an all-out war with the giants?"

"If necessary, this option is not ruled out. But then again, can a cloud giant really make such a decision? The storm giant is not interested in taking care of things on land."

"Maybe, anyway, I really have hundreds of fire giants in my hands, you can try it. I only want money and slaves, and I don't want you to perish. That's the thing between us. If you satisfy me, naturally you won't Let's make trouble again."

Lin En suddenly showed a somewhat weird smile: "Since you only want money and slaves, I have a better choice. If you go to rob others, Nairn will pay you handsomely. Do you want to hear it? "

Tugrik was a little surprised, and asked, "Oh? Then you can tell me, maybe I will be interested."

"You can go and rob Colo's people. They are much richer than us by making war fortune."

Tugrik has no scruples: "You two countries border each other, why don't you think about it, why would I choose to rob you?"

"Of course I know that those mages spent money to invite you to come, but they have all reached the point where they need to use external force to divert our energy. Can't they explain the problem? Compared with us, the Kolo people are more suitable targets. We will Afterwards, you can use force against that country, and you can take advantage of it. This is a hunt, and you can sit back and enjoy its achievements."

"That's interesting. To be honest, I can think about it. After all, stealing money in any human country is the same. You can think of me as a scavenging hyena, and I will always bite when I get a chance. But the current problem you What do you want to do? I don't intend to give up the benefits I have already obtained."

"This port can be temporarily used by you. After you settle down, I will turn around and lead people to attack Ke Luo's territory. If they don't react in time, there will be chaos. What you do next depends on your thoughts. The bond with Ke Luo It shouldn’t be difficult to choose whether it is strong enough to that level.”

Tugrik said casually: "Interesting, this news should be very valuable to sell to the Kolo people."

"It's not the best way to do this. Even if you help the Kolo people, you should do it after the war breaks out. It's easier to benefit from sitting on the ground, isn't it?"

Tugrik fell into silence, and after a long time he nodded slowly: "Well then, I have to admit that your proposal is a bit interesting. Human beings will be responsible for the cost of food for my subordinates during this period, and it's okay to wait a while. Now The question is, are you capable of doing what you promise?"

"Just be quiet and watch, I will complete my task."
-
The two sides carried out a long period of non-nutritious mutual testing, and the meeting ended like this, because the agreement reached by Lynn and the other party was a bit shocking, and Lena couldn't bear it, and directly chose to meet with the other party in the carriage.

"You decide to get this result. Leaving aside the situation of the Grand Duke and the Parliament, will the Governor of the Northern Province agree to such a clause?" She asked Lynn puzzled.

Lynn's carriage has a special shielding magic, so the internal voice cannot be transmitted, so there is no need to worry about leaking secrets.

"I will find a way to make them accept it. I am quite sure, so please rest assured."

"Do you really want to prepare your army now to attack Kolo's territory?"

"That's it. Now is really a good opportunity. Those mages who are demons and heretics are too busy to take care of themselves, and they think that we will focus all our energy on fighting the giants. This is not far from the core area of ​​Keluo. If we bring enough supplies , we are fully capable of going straight to Huanglong and destroying their administrative hub in one fell swoop."

Leina didn't speak, she seemed to be calculating the feasibility of these things, but Tang Zhao became slightly interested.

[Let's be honest, did you make an appointment with that cloud giant, and play tricks to fool you. 】

Lin En's expression changed slightly this time, and it took a while to adjust: "You are very accurate. In terms of insight alone, you are already stronger than most Nirn nobles. If you find something wrong, you can only doubt me. "

Things went a little too far, Tugrik nodded in agreement, but Lynn should not be a person who compromises so easily.

At first glance, the most reasonable explanation is that the two parties have colluded in advance about the general direction of the matter, and they are just acting.

[It’s just a random guess, I’ve always been more imaginative.You are really willing to play with your own lives.If you do this, even if the final result is good, if someone else finds out, you will be to blame, right?Or do you mean that the Grand Duke and the Parliament also have your supporters? 】

"That's not the case. If the Grand Duke finds out about this kind of behavior of luring wolves into the house, my family will probably be uprooted, but as long as it is not discovered, it will be fine. Some people will doubt me, but they will never have evidence in their hands. As long as the final result is beneficial to the country, they will not go into it. Things can go like this. The Grand Duke is a very generous and casual person.

Of course, my behavior is also very risky. It is really unknown whether Kolo can win. If my performance on the battlefield is too poor, then Tugrik will definitely turn the finger on us and go deep into our hinterland. Looted.Coupled with the offensive of the Keluo people, we will definitely be seriously injured. "

Lin En told Tang Zhao the objective facts in a very flat tone. He had considered these things clearly before doing them, but he still chose to gamble once, using his family's future to bet on the victory of the military operation.

[From the perspective of me and the elves, we are very happy to see you resort to force against the Kolo people, but from your standpoint, it seems that there is no need to be so radical. 】

"Of course I have my thoughts and reasons. Please don't ask too much about this. I promise that at this stage, there are only common interests and no conflicts between us. It's good to be clear about this."

Tang Zhao nodded slightly, and gave up the idea of ​​questioning in his heart, as long as the goal is achieved, knowing too much may not be good for him.

【Okay, then I will leave it to you to negotiate with other people. 】

"Don't worry, I have prepared in advance, and they will assist me. As for the giants, there is no need to worry too much. They also need to send people to watch those guys. Even because they don't know from which position they will attack, they will help me." Need to send a larger number of soldiers to defend. Now things are much simpler because they can monitor better."
-
All in all, it is not quite clear what method Lynn used for reinforcements from other provinces and the central government. In the end, they reluctantly agreed to temporarily send some second-line troops and fourth-tier powerhouses to target the giants, while the main force and most of the powerhouses Follow Lynn to the southern province and launch an attack on Kolo's people from there.

According to Lynn himself, this matter involves factional disputes within them. Fortunately, there are more people who support him. In addition, he had secretly contacted the Grand Duke before, and asked for permission to act from the other party. The other party forcibly let the army move out before responding.After the raw rice is cooked, the opponent can only agree to send troops.

These people came to support because of the giant's affairs. When vested interests are damaged, people will always behave more positively. In addition, the governor of the province deliberately made the situation more serious than the actual situation in order to ask for help, so the people who came to reinforce Not a lot, maybe even more than the number of troops sent for Colo.

After a few days of driving, the group arrived in the Southern Province again. On the way, Tang Zhao and Leina had been watching Lin En's argument with others.

After fighting for a long time, the Nairn people pulled out about [-] regular troops, plus twice the number of logistics and auxiliary troops, preparing for the official war against Keluo.

Tang Zhao feels that it is not easy to be a governor here, and he has to be tied up in everything he wants to do.

During this period, he also took time to meet with the elves a few times. After there was a reason to send troops, the elf bodyguards who had been hiding before could show their faces openly.

They didn't seem too surprised by Lynn's behavior. After all, they were much more proficient than humans in playing these twists and turns, and this kind of thing was not special to them.

Lynn didn't know the strength of the elves, but he asked them to send as many troops as possible. This time, he wanted to injure Colo so badly that he would not be able to recover within 20 years.

Recently, the hobgoblin's attack on the elves has also weakened a lot, and the autumn harvest will be a while away. As a farming civilization, the hobgoblins will not delay the autumn harvest again because of the war with the elves. They have already delayed the harvest once last year.

In this case, the elves mustered what seemed to be a large force for them—three thousand rangers and more than a thousand spellcasters, plus a notable number of forest beasts.

All kinds of elite troops of elves, such as deer cavalry and giant eagle riders, have gathered a lot, and most of the middle and high-level troops that can move are already the maximum force that this elf settlement can produce.

On the human side, Lynn has prepared a very detailed battle plan in advance, which can be adopted directly. It will take some time for the elves to fully complete the preparations, but now there is no longer the time to wait.

Everyone thinks that soldiers are precious and fast. In order to prevent the other party from being aware of it, the Nairn people declared war on Kolo after they were ready. At the same time, the army captured several unsuspecting border cities with lightning speed, and at the same time bypassed those tightly guarded fortresses. , Marching directly towards the provincial capital city of Colo.

It’s similar to the hobgoblin’s tactics at that time. It’s easy to take everything down. The supplies in the city are enough for their consumption. In a dilemma, if there are enough enemy troops, there is no way to run.
