Lord of War

  The sky is finally getting completely bright.

In the deep mountains and forests, Sean and Cecilia are trekking hard, especially Sean's back is still unconscious Xuefanio, which naturally greatly affected the speed of the two. procrastination.

  Shaun’s situation is better, but Cecilia looks a little sluggish. In terms of the magician's physique, it was not easy to be able to walk with Sean all night. But even so, Cecilia did not ask to stop and rest, but continued to insist silently. She knew very well what was the most dangerous thing for them now. If they couldn't get through this dangerous period, Then all their efforts will be completely wasted.

   "Take a rest." After walking a certain distance again, the terrain of the forest was slightly flattened, and Xiao En finally spoke. (Vertex Novel Mobile Version)

  Cecilia did not speak, but nodded slightly, and then sat down on the spot.

  Shaun glanced at Xuefanio. She was still unconscious, but other than that, all vital signs were completely normal, which made Shaun feel relieved. He also did not expect that the previous battle between the Royal Capital and Edward would put such a heavy burden on Xuefanio’s body, that his mental state was completely drowsy, but in general, as long as she did not have any major problems. If so, then other issues are considered minor issues.

  "Where are we now?" Cecilia took the canteen offered by Sean, took a sip, moisturized her throat, and asked.

"According to the previous road map. We should be on the way to the meeting point now." Sean is also a little confused about the location, but at least the direction of advancement is correct. This is still certain, "If there is no accident. We. It should arrive at Luquan River in three days."

"Green Spring River." Cecilia thought about it for a moment, and then remembered the specific location of this place, "Should this place still be in the heartland of the Finlistine family? And if we let them know that we have arrived here, Then the following chase and encirclement net may have a higher intensity."

"Not sure, but inevitable." Sean sighed helplessly. "This time the Finlisting family is definitely playing for real. We all underestimated our enemies too much. Hope William and Hela are the two Guys can be more reliable, otherwise we might not even be able to break through Luquanhe."

   "I still believe in William." Cecilia gave a chuckle.

   "Oh?" Sean raised his eyebrows, "Why is it just William? Hela?"

  "Not enough to give her life with confidence." Cecilia looked at Sean. Then he said with a serious face, "I really can't understand why you trust her so much.... Although her strategy is indeed very powerful, but she always feels a bit strange. Why do you think she really will do for you? Do you think about it?"

   "Because I trust her." Sean looked at Cecilia a little strangely. "Have you ever heard a sentence? It's called'no doubt about employing people, no doubt about others'. Since I have decided to let her and William take charge of the military coordination of our entire territory, then I will not doubt her, and she does have this. Ability, not the strength below William at all."

   "So, why do you trust her so much, thinking she will not betray?" Cecilia said.

  Shaun thought for a while. I found that there was really no way to explain this problem to Cecilia. He knew that Hela was trustworthy, and he also knew that Thain was a dangerous man. And these are not only derived from their character and experience, but also from the effect of the real eye. In other words, what Shaun believes is actually the content he "saw with his own eyes", rather than the past experience from forums and games.

"Because I can see their good intentions and bad intentions." After thinking about it, Sean still said, "This world already has too much malice. If we choose to trust others, then maybe we will. Gained a lot of kindness."

   "I still don't understand." Cecilia shook her head.

Sean patted Cecilia on the head and smiled: "I can't learn the royal family's mind control technique. The only thing I can do is treat them all as friends, so I am willing to trust my friends. Just like you are willing to trust William and dare to put your life in his hands..."

   "That's different. After all, we have been fighting together for so long."

"To me, it's all the same." Sean smiled. "No one is full of malice from the beginning. The so-called malice is just a difference in position. But there are many times, if you If you don't fight fiercely with the other party, then they will never know where your bottom line is.... However, once conflicts, contradictions, and even the need for force to solve the problem arise, then malice will also arise. "

Cecilia nodded, seemingly understanding, there is a big gap between what Shaun said and what she had learned in the Duchy of Lumber, which gave Cecilia the illusion of a broken worldview. . But intuition tells her that although what Sean said is not applicable to this world, he is not wrong, and it is probably only in this way that he can get the conviction and sincere assistance of so many people.

  "Let’s rest here for a while." Xiao En said, "We will act again at noon. Now I only worry about one thing."

"The attitude of the royal family?" Cecilia may be immature in emperor control of the mind, but when it comes to such things as the political situation, she will become very keen and shrewd, and she will hit the key goal at once. And this also happens to be something that Sean is not good at.

"If it's a royal attitude, then we'd better not guess wildly for the time being." Seeing Sean's appearance, Cecilia knew that he had guessed what he was thinking. "Even if a king knows his country well. , It still needs a little reaction time... Although the Grey Wolf Blade is nominally the Ryan army, the real power has always been firmly controlled in the hands of the Finlisting family. After all, Ryan was just a principality before."

The biggest difference between the duchy and the kingdom is that the military control department of the duchy actually exists in name only. Basically, the army belonging to the duchy is in the hands of those marquis and earls. At most, it belongs to the principality in name only. But the kingdom is different. The military control department of the kingdom has real great power. All officially appointed generals will be recognized by the royal family and even the lords of all parts of the kingdom. At this time, once the army with the right to belong to the kingdom is attached, then it is truly free from the noble lords. Is in control.

"Probably the Finlisting family should also know that this army that used to be famous has finally come out of their control completely, so it will be desperate to throw into the battlefield against us." Cecilia thought. For a moment. Then he said, "For them, even if the Grey Wolf Blade is completely exhausted in this battle. That is also a matter of the Kingdom of Ryan, and it has nothing to do with them anymore."

  "Aristocratic selfishness." Sean took a sip.

"Almost, no nobleman is unselfish." Cecilia shrugged. "This time Ryan has been upgraded from the principality to the kingdom. One of the most urgent tasks the royal family needs to deal with. It is to recover all the troops that belonged to Ryan in name. Taking control and completing a new reorganization is something that any upgraded kingdom must go through. In the process, any noble who resists will be regarded as a traitor. Since the Finlisting family can’t resist, they don’t. Too willing to surrender control of this army, so it has to be used against us."

   "But this way, the attitude of the royal family..."

   "Didn't I say that? Even if a king knows his country well, it still needs time to react." Cecilia chuckled. "I think the Royal Family of Ryan certainly doesn't know the movement of the Gray Wolf Blade. After all, the encounter last night was too sudden. It is estimated that the Royal Family of Ryan will not receive the news until noon at the earliest. Next, Ryan The actions taken by the royal family are the time to express their attitude."

   "What do you mean?" Sean's lack of political smell is no secret in the void.

"In other words, if the royal family is on our side, then within these two days, Finlisting will definitely be ordered to stop calling the Gray Wolf Blade, and if we pay enough attention to us, then the neighborhood will be in charge of the royal family. The lord of the kingdom should also act." Cecilia said, "But on the contrary, if the royal family is not on our side, then..."

   After that, Cecilia didn't say it, and Sean already knew the answer: "In other words, see if the royal family has any actions in the past two days?"

"En." Cecilia nodded, "So it is not appropriate for us to guess the attitude of the royal family now....Of course, no matter what the final result is, but as long as we are alive, the royal family will definitely do it. There will be corresponding compensation."

   "The premise is that we are alive?" Xiao En smiled self-deprecatingly, "Anyway, we can only believe that Hela and William have come up with any good strategies now."

"William's words, he will definitely make a big fuss directly on Finlisting's clan leader by strong means. Maybe now Fred and they are too lazy to continue to hide, but directly assume the posture of an intruder. "Cecilia thought for a while, and then suddenly laughed, "But... to be honest, although I still don't believe in this woman, Hela, but roughly what she will do I can guess it."

   "Oh?" This time, it was Sean's turn to look at Cecilia curiously.

"She must have begun to gain momentum now, and only waiting for the Royal Family to express her attitude." Cecilia sighed, "If the Royal Family of Ryan chooses to acquiesce or even indulge the pursuit of us by Fenlistine and the Dovigo family, then She will definitely put up a siege in front of the Tonys Fortress, forcing the Royal Family to make a new choice. And if the Royal Family chooses to stand on our side, then she will definitely think of an excuse to allow the Royal Family to allow our army to pass. Fort Tony."

"Haha, this is indeed like Hela's style." Sean laughed. "If that's the case, maybe the Royal family will hate us more?... They are all a group of people who don't obey the discipline or follow the rules of the nobility. what."

"On the contrary." Cecilia shook her head and began to correct Sean's mistake. "The Lion royal family had previously acquiesced in the assassination action initiated by the Dovigo family against us. This is still within the rules of the game, and no one can say anything, even Even the participation of nobles such as the Finlisting family is understandable.... But this time, it is not us, nor the Ryan royal family, who break the rules of the game, but the Finlisting family, so even if we ask It’s not a violation of the requirements for the army to pass the Tonis Fortress, as long as it finds a perfect excuse."

   "Is this excuse so easy to find?" Sean frowned.

"So the problem is back to the original point." Cecilia said softly, "We still have to look at the attitude of the Royal Family.... If they are on our side, then this excuse is fine as long as it is not so crappy. But. If the royal family is not on our side, it doesn't matter if we don't make excuses. Anyway, as long as we attack the Tonys Fortress, we are traitors." (To be continued...)
