Blood Dragon

Chapter 290 I don't know

"Just got the news." Baylor added.

"What about the specific strength?" Parry asked.

"No news about it," Baylor replied. "It should be that our border lords don't have enough vision to see how many enemies there are. However, since their castle is surrounded by enemies and has been attacked, the enemy's strength will not be less than a few thousand anyway."

"Thousands...if there were six castles..."

"According to the calculation of the siege force of each castle is 3000, then the minimum force is about 2." Belleer replied. "In addition to the losses from the previous attack on Gaohua City—according to the battle reports from the city, the Chaos Legion lost at least 7 people in the siege battle...In addition to our estimate, there may be [-] to [-] Chaos Legion under Gaohua City— —There are still so many people still entrenched in the base camp... All the numbers add up to exactly match our previous estimate that the total strength of the invading Chaos Legion is [-] people."

"If you look at it this way, this time it shouldn't be a trap to lure the enemy into deep, besiege the city and fight for reinforcements, but an action taken by the Chaos Legion because of its arrogance," Baylor said. "However, it's hard to say whether it's right or wrong."

Baylor's analysis is reasonable, but it doesn't completely convince Parry.

"Didn't you say that you got a steady stream of reinforcements before?"

"Oh, it's hard to say." Baylor replied. "But if it is a small group of reinforcements, the supplementary effect it can play is also very limited."

He didn't debate the numerical issues with Parry in detail, but just spoke in a very calm and rational tone.Judging from his tone alone, Baylor has no interest in arguing with Parry at all.If Parry continues to question this issue, Baylor will definitely deal with it with "ah", "oh" and "maybe".But it is precisely because of this that he has become the kind of opponent who is completely irresistible - he doesn't care what you said at all, he just pretends that he didn't hear it.

"General Ashulfat," Parry felt to Belleur like a swordsman facing a city wall, unable to exert his strength at all, so he simply turned his head to face Ashurfat. "I think the risk is simply too great."

Ashurfat didn't speak, but just looked at each other calmly.Parry eagerly wanted to pour out all the worries and thoughts in his heart, but for some reason he found that he couldn't say more.It seems that this idea is not supported by any logic and objective facts.

He vaguely remembered that he thought of this before falling asleep last night, and at that time, he thought about the cause and effect, the risks and benefits, so he decided to come to see Ashuruffat immediately the next day.But that clear thought suddenly disappeared from his mind for some reason.

But this did not arouse his special suspicion.In fact, human beings often have this kind of situation: everyone has the experience of putting things away, and then spending a lot of effort but can't get them back.

Speaking of which, unknowingly, the most insignificant Balanca also came.In fact, after Ashuruffat took office, the former mercenary captain obediently handed over all his powers.Parry originally planned to win over Beler and stir up the conflict between Baranka and Ashrufat.But all these plans evaporated as Barranca voluntarily surrendered.Because even if he got the support of Belleur who spared no effort, the balance of power is still not as good as the other party - besides, how could a person like Belleur be easily recruited and bought?

However, Baranka himself has personally seen the relationship between Ashuruffat and the little queen—in fact, he has clearly seen the changes in the entire domestic political situation.It is precisely because he has personally experienced everything that he has absolutely no contempt or confrontation towards the 13-year-old little queen.And he knew exactly what kind of special place Ashurfat occupied in the little queen's heart.Because of this, he was also respectful to Ashurfat, and he had no intention of doing anything wrong.

After Ashrufat swung his sword to take office, Baranka felt at ease as the lieutenant general.He is also very clear that as long as he can defeat the Chaos Legion this time, with his position in the little queen's new court and with the east wind of Aishuruffat, he may be able to get a dream position.

"The scouts of the Chaos Legion... controlled the entire area." Baranka supported Parry's opinion this time. "On the surface we have a chance, but in reality the chance is very small."

Parry has ridiculed Barranca many times in the past, but this time he can't help but have a good impression of this "old mercenary".

"Besides, we should consider a possibility," Baranka obviously hadn't had breakfast yet. He scanned the table, but found that there was nothing to eat.On the table next to it, the only edible food was a bottle of wine—even if this bottle of wine was still sealed. "The information Mr. Beler received... was sent to Falcon City by magic message scrolls. These news may not all be true."

"Maybe it's all true?" This time, Belle was pondering. "Magic communication... there is indeed a great possibility of impersonation..."

This is also the biggest weakness of magic communication, especially magic communication using communication scrolls.The content of the letter is transmitted by magic, so it is impossible to verify the authenticity through handwriting, signature, seal and other things.If the agreed password can be stolen, it is easy to send fake messages.Of course, stealing the agreed password itself is quite difficult, and it is impossible in most cases.

However, considering the influence shown by the Chaos Legion this time, it is not trivial.Among other things, in Falcon City, under the eyes of Grune and the church, the Chaos Legion first performed a performance of "Assassination of Foreign Envoys" (that is, Belial), and then staged a more thrilling "Assassination of the Queen" "The drama is amazing.In terms of these two things, the Chaos believers actually did not do badly, just a little bit, and they were about to succeed.

It is reasonable to say that the Chaos believers infiltrated the border lords and got the agreed codes or something.Barranca's concerns are not groundless.

Both Ashurfat and Belleel were thinking carefully about Baranka's words, while Baranka continued to look for something to eat.

"General, you haven't had breakfast yet?" Barranca finally came to the correct conclusion.The title of "General" was invented by Baylor.Beryl either called Ashurfat "His Excellency the Earl" or "The General".Speaking of which, the title itself may be a bit ironic, but Ashuruffat is not disgusted.

"Well, I don't have a good appetite recently." Ashuruffat replied.

Balanka's eyes lingered on Ashuruffat for a moment—he didn't think too much about it, so he just asked casually. "Are the servants being lazy?"

According to the rules of the nobility, even if the master does not want to eat, the food must be prepared.This is a two-way transaction: if the master suddenly has an appetite, it goes without saying; if the master has no appetite all the time, then of course this food will not be wasted, and it will enter the stomachs of the servants.

However, this is Newstria City after all, not Ashuruffat's own home.The servants here are actually Rafa's servants.And fools can also see that Parry is not interested in Ashuruffat.That's why Baranka thought of this idea.

"No, I warned them, I will go to the officer's canteen to eat." Ashuruffat said.People come and go in the cafeteria, put on a set of ordinary clothes, keep a low profile, it is difficult for others to recognize him as the supreme commander.This is also the reason he had thought about for a long time - it is better not to let people know that he does not need to eat.

"What a pity," Barranca said.

If other people were present, the scene might feel a little weird.On this seemingly peaceful morning, without any meeting arrangements, the four generals of the coalition forces suddenly all gathered here.And they really didn't agree.

It can only be said that the atmosphere in Newstria City is already very strong.From senior officers to low-level soldiers, they all feel that the shadow of war is getting closer day by day.

……

Sagas sat in front of the vanity mirror, combing his hair while humming.She wasn't wearing any clothes - and that didn't make any sense, since she was really the only one in the room.

A slight wave of magic came from a corner of the room.Sagas didn't need to look back to know what had happened—the Tzeentch wizard was at it again.While it's good to be able to keep in touch with others, Tzeentch's wizards must have plans - they can't be so attentive without doing nothing.

In the mirror, a phantom emitting a sickly green light clearly appeared.

"You shouldn't sing this kind of song." Marvin said in what seemed to be a sigh. "Who cares will notice. You will be dismantled . . . this tune . . . people in this country . . . these southerners don't have that tune."

"First, I'm the only one in the room," Sagas replied calmly without even looking back. "Second, you can reveal my identity better than my song when you come out like this."

"How things had been?"

Wizard Tzeentch looked anxious.If Sagas was only 100% to [-]% sure before, now she can already believe [-]% that Tzeentch's followers definitely have other plans.And it should be a big conspiracy.Perhaps the entire Chaos Legion, the tens of thousands of soldiers under the command of Lord Bloodfang, have already been included in this conspiracy.

"I'm trying to get Parry to raise objections. Now there's only so much I can do, and I don't know if it's successful or not," Sagas replied.She admired her flawless body in front of the mirror and posed several poses.
