Lord of War

  Shaun reached out and took the map on the table.

  This is a map with sheepskin as a carrier, and in terms of size, it is at least three complete sets of sheepskin stitched. After a special process, the back of this sheepskin map has a unique smoothness to the touch, while the front side has a subtle texture because of the map drawn on it. Tactile.

  This map was sent by Asuna's orders only a few days ago, so that Sean could draw the territory he wanted on it.

Sean was not at all polite about this, and directly assigned the seven territories of Pandan, Yedby, Berbis, Chiraff, Day, Suoan, and Tinky to himself. Under the name of, and reorganized it into a new territory: Void collar.

  The work that William was busy with before was to draw borders on the edges of these territories to mark the right to belong to these territories.

  In addition, there are also several other colors on this sheepskin map as markers, indicating the ownership of these territories.

Basically, in addition to the Hatch Boulder family still occupying nearly half of the agave collar, as well as the three territories of the Kos Hopson family, Ronnis Holder, and Byrne Baidi. Nothing changed, Florence also unceremoniously took the territory of Prince Kazes Hodgedi directly, and even took several nearby territories under his name.

  As for Asuna, it was because of the surrender of the Hopson family, so the heavy task of guarding the southeast portal of the kingdom and contending with fascism was not handed over to her. And on the contrary, under the suggestion of Devon Soder Sabre, the royal capital of the Kingdom of Darbion and the surrounding territories, as well as the Garrod Fortress, were all put under the name of Asuna. As a result, Asuna Na actually became the biggest beneficiary of this war.

  Of course, from a strategic point of view, the seven-member alliance of Sean and others is completely divided.

  Perhaps because of this consideration, Dai Wen would be so happy to propose that Garrod fortress should be given to Asuna. However, in the eyes of Neil and Hela, it is obvious that they have not shown any kindness from beginning to end. As the scale of the territory becomes larger, the difficulty of managing the territory increases directly and exponentially. . At first it was just a Tonis fortress, it almost made Asuna exhausted.

  Now her territory is almost equal to the size of three dukes. How can Asuna manage it?

   But in this kind of arrangement about territories, no one can interrupt and say anything. However, since everyone belongs to the alliance nowadays, Sean still borrowed Neil temporarily, and he was responsible for helping Asuna to coordinate and plan all of this, and only returned after finishing all these tasks. This is also why there are only Hela and William in the Big Three under Sean.

  Looking at the black sideline drawn on the map, Xiao En's eyes fell on the territory of several other alliance members, and his eyes became more helpless.

In the League of Seven, the closest to him is undoubtedly Florence Wiles, who occupied the territory of the former Prince of Darbion and renamed it the Territory of Holy Rome. Chiraff County has only a quick march of more than a month. But even in this way, two territories roughly equivalent to the size of the Viscountry need to be crossed. If there is any delay during this period, then the time will naturally need to be increased again.

As for the territory of Tequila, the territory of the Hopson family, the territory of the Baidi family, and the territory of Lonnis, they are too far away from Sean's county-Sean directly merged these seven territories and renamed the void The seven territories were rectified and divided into nine counties. In addition to using the core of the seven territories as the place names of the seven counties, a new void county and a black swan county were added.

At present, the nine counties are roughly divided into four areas by Sean. Basically, Soma Hastings, Kazi, and Rudd are in charge of two counties each, while Daye, Void, and Hei Swan County, because of the previous perfection and thorough planning, has completely entered the orbit and does not need them to be responsible. However, Xiao En, who didn't know much about these things, could only trust these three guys and let them play their own way.

   Gently lowered the map, and Xiao En's gaze fell on the counties near the Void Neck in the direction of the Xiadi Rift, and said in a deep voice, "Soma and Kazi have not been unusual until now?"

"No." Hearing Sean's words, William was taken aback for a while, and then he said, "Rupi had always arranged people to stare at them before, whether it was what they said every day, people they had contact with, letters they had written, and Or the food they have eaten, etc., all have dedicated personnel. But after so long, these two people have not shown any strangeness at all. The logistical supplies responsible for dispatching have never had any problems.... But the more serious they are, the less we dare to relax."

   "So, does Thain know that his uncle is still alive?" Sean asked.

"I don't know." William shook his head. "But Thain doesn't seem to want to look for it at all. Moreover, with the complete end of the war recently, Thain's whole person also seems a little depressed. He has been drunk in the city these days. The tavern here is said to have owed a lot of money for wine, and I only asked people to check out yesterday."

  "Probably because I felt that there was no way to kill me, so I was depressed." Xiao En said lightly.

  For Thain, Sean still knows very well.

However, Sean has never used Thain since the battle that broke out between Berbice and Chiraff. Although he still has the right to lead five thousand soldiers, the army is not in a special period. It is not allowed to enter the Void City, so even if Thain has soldiers in his hand, he can't do anything against Shaun. Therefore, Sean certainly understood the depression of Thain, but he couldn't send himself to the door to kill him.

  He is not a saint.

"So, do you want to deal with Thain?" William frowned, and then said, "He is so depressed, it is almost of no help to us, and in the following conflicts, he is very It may fall to other nobles. It is not a problem to use his ability to mix better with other nobles. On the contrary, with his ability and understanding of us, it may cause unnecessary trouble for us. ."

   For Thain’s ability, Sean still very much recognizes.

  But the biggest problem is that this guy’s hostility towards him has increased with ri. Even if he has been depressed recently, the red halo on his body has not diminished for a moment, but it is almost red and purple. This makes Sean really a headache. If he can use Thain as his own, Sean believes that he is definitely not inferior to Knok, Aldolph, Stalin and others. Of course, he is not as obvious and strong as they are. The fighting style is nothing more than.

   "It can only be so." Sean sighed helplessly.

   "No need." At this moment, Hela spoke up suddenly.

She actually knows something about Sean and the Hastings family, so Hela still appreciates this person who can endure it to such an extent, so she feels that it would be a pity if she was ruined like this. . Anyway, this kind of thing, for her, is just a little bit of brain cell thinking of a method, at least it is much easier than playing against William before.

"Let him know that Soma Hastings is still alive." Hela thought for a while, and then said, "As long as he knows that he still has a member of his clan alive, and this clan member has no idea that he ever did it. Whatever happens, then at least he will not feel desperate and lonely. Then at this time, we will send out some news to Thain, let him mistakenly think that Soma also wants revenge, so that he will definitely find a way to go with him. Soma contact, and then before they thoroughly contact and decide on the plan, we just need to wait and see the changes."

   "This is useful?" Sean asked with some confusion.

"It's just the first stage plan." Hela shrugged. "Anyway, no matter what plan they come up with, they still have to follow the script I planned for the second stage. If the two of them can support the second stage, then I still have plans for the third and fourth stages.... But you still have to prepare for the war. In my plan, Thain will definitely take refuge in a certain nobleman of Ryan now, and then stabb you in the back, so from Don’t let him come into contact with too much classified information from now on. When the time comes, defeat him again, then let him go, and then defeat him on the front battlefield two or three times, and he will truly surrender."

  Shaun thought for a while, always felt that Hela’s plan was actually similar to the story of Zhuge Liang’s seven captures of Meng Huo when he was on Earth. There are only some things that he would never think of such a detailed plan even if he knew it, but Hela could easily think of this and use it in detail. This is probably the so-called wise general and ordinary people. gap.

   "Then you will be responsible for this matter." Xiao En said.

   "What else do you need to be responsible for? It's nothing more than spreading a rumor. Just let Sigley handle this." Hela said calmly.

As an intelligence officer under Ri Hela, Sigley is indeed an unforgettable role, because her ability to collect and process information is even in the realm of the void, and only Rupiah can compare with it. It's nothing more than superiority. Therefore, when Sigley heard that Hela surrendered to Sean, she chose to surrender at the first time. Of course, the object of her obedience was still Hela, not Sean. Sean didn’t mind this either. Instead, she became the deputy commander of the secret service agency in the void, and she was on the same level as Eli Kate in terms of class status.

  Shaun doesn’t quite understand these things. For him, it’s enough for Hela and William to help him solve feasible problems. He only needs to propose a policy.

  "Then, the next most important question is, who do you plan to go with when going to the Royal Capital of Ryan this time?" William asked.

  "The candidate has been determined." Shaun said softly, "I will take Rena, Cecilia, and Xuefanio with him."

  Hella and William were both taken aback when they heard the list reported by Sean, apparently some of them could not react.

  The whole meeting room fell into a weird silence in an instant.

After    was so silent for ten seconds, William said: "Your roster... are you sure you are not in the war?"

"Now there are at least thirteen sanctuary powerhouses in Ryan. This time Ryan's ritual for upgrading the kingdom is bound to be extremely grand. Even if these sanctuary powerhouses can't all gather, there will be at least ten people?" Sean asked back. Do you think I can make trouble in the capital?"

"That's not necessarily." Hela also said, "Miss Xuefanio is a church member, but she is no different from your followers in the eyes of the nobles in Ryan. She is purely in terms of strength. It can also be regarded as a half-step sanctuary strong, so if there is really a sanctuary strong, then it will not be regarded as bullying the small without using the rule to suppress.... Based on the unspoken rules in the aristocratic circle. In other words, there will definitely be nobles who will signal the strong sanctuary in the family to challenge you."

"Heh." Hearing Hela's words, Sean laughed instead, but his smile obviously became a little cold. "If the other party has the sanctuary dare to be so big, then Xuefanio will definitely let the other party taste one. A lesson that will never be remembered.... Even if Xuefanio doesn't take action, Rina alone is enough."

Today's Rina is invincible under the sanctuary, but if there is a lower sanctuary who dares not use the power of the rules to suppress and widen the power gap between each other, then Rina will be enough to fight the other party's ghost crying wolf howling. . And if against Xuefanio, then the victory or defeat is even more straightforward, because the battle of the priest with a knife is never a performance, but a real killing technique, so once Xuefanio is given a sword, and The fate of the opponent's sanctuary can also be imagined.

  But this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that Xuefanio still has a hole card that has not been revealed so far-this is another hole card that Sean has prepared after the departure of Bass.

  The most impressive thing Sean had for the guild leader he followed in the past was the words he arrogantly said when he faced over 10,000 enemies.

"Do you think you can drive me to death with a trump card in your hand? It's ridiculous! Do you guys know what a hole card is? A hole card is a means to turn things around and is never known. It is called a hole card! All hole cards are a trump card, but the trump card that has been turned over can never become a trump card!"

   Then, he saw with his own eyes that the president of Void Wings turned out five hole cards in one go.

  One battle will determine the universe.

  Now, Sean has two hole cards in his hand.

  If the bass hadn't left, maybe it would be three.

   "Just four of you set off?" William asked again, "Don't you need to bring some other guards?"

"No need." Xiao En shook his head. "If we only set off with four people, the mobility will be higher. Even if we encounter desperate revenge, we can easily break through.... But I don't think it will. Someone is so stupid to trouble us."

"That's not necessarily." Hela seems to be getting closer to William recently, so she has become particularly fond of splashing Shaun's cold water. "You can never guess what those nobles think, but if you and Lord Asuna If they act together, they should not encounter any danger or trouble."

   "We've made an appointment to meet at Fort Tonys." Shaun said, "So during the month and a half of the journey to Fort Tonys, I have to go on my own road. At this time, there will be no sanctuary powerhouses to block the way?"

"It shouldn't be at this time." Hela thought for a while, and then said, "At least not when I go, but it's hard to say when I come back. Unless you have something you can tell and can completely restrain them. means."

   "The means are available, depending on whether it is necessary." Xiao En shrugged, "Well, this matter doesn't need you to worry about for the time being. But just in case, let the Scarlet Knights hide their identity and follow them secretly."

   "I see." William nodded, "You don't need to worry about the tactical aspects. I will make sure of this. But..."

"I have already thought about the strategic issues for you. Then you can just do as I told you before." Hela took a sip of nai tea, her face was light and breezy. Obviously, I am impatient that Sean needs to teach himself to socialize with these nobles. "The necessary display of strength is a status symbol, but it must be after you obtain the status of a marquis. If this time the noble award ceremony In the event of an accident, hiding your strength will become your top priority.... But if there is no alternative, then bet on the battle, and it is better to win the assets of a few families as much as you can."

   "Hey, this gambling battle is my favorite." Sean gave a smirk, and God seemed extremely satisfied, "But those guys aren't that stupid?"

"So it is necessary to show that the enemy is weak." Hela shrugged, "Aren't you very good at this? I don't need to teach it.... But if the Royal Family asks about your raid tactics When, how are you going to answer?"

"Answer truthfully." Xiao En said in a deep voice, "I must show some extraordinary methods or skills, so that the royal family can stand on my side in this award ceremony. At least the Void leads me without an inch. Those who intend to let go, whoever wants it must defeat me!"

   "But at present there is almost no source of troops in the territory to add..."

   "It's time to contact Andre and Carlos, Ataba, and they said that I need their help."

"I see."

  "As for the trade union side, I will deal with it after I come back."

  "Yes!" (To be continued.)
