Wizard From Afar

"Laszlo Varna... did he really say that?"

In the early morning, Eckert count looked at the Duke who had just returned, with a heavy expression on his face. The little wizard and Lucien on the side also showed a little worry.

"I always feel that he didn't tell the truth completely...or deliberately conceal something." Loren slightly nodded, folded his hands together: "But at least he didn't lie."

A big difference.

Maybe there is really a wizard get involved, maybe it’s some mutant monsters that I don’t know about... It’s hard to tell the difference between an ordinary person like Grand Duke Varna, and he can only judge the other person based on his experience. What is used is definitely not the power from the material world.

Of course, this result is not the one that worries Loren the most...

"Duke, what is your decision?" Eckert looked serious and stared at Loren closely: "Did you give him any kind of promise?"

"No, I told Grand Duke Varna that I need to think carefully and wait until tonight's banquet to give him a final answer." Loren shook his head. He glanced at his own Fury Castle count: "What do you think, Acter?"

"Two things."

Acter narrowed his eyes sharply and said decisively:" First, we must evacuate from Boy Duchy as quickly as possible and mobilize the entire Duchy power to prepare for the war."

"If the worst results are planned, the Centaur and the Dwarf Alliance, or even the Dwarf Weaken our vassal, then only by gathering all the strength of Byrne can fight against it-with our current strength, it won't do anything at all!"

"But...if Byrne withdraws, that wave Is Yi going to face the Centaur’s aggression alone?” The little wizard asked anxiously: “Can they really resist the Centaur’s attack now?”

“This is me The second thing to say." Eckert was slightly nodded: "If we withdraw immediately, Boye will definitely not be able to support the centaur for too long."

"Maybe Varna can rely on thousands of The city wall of the tent keeps the centaur away from Boye, but half of Boye is destined to fall. After a thousand years, Byne and Boye’s friendship forged with iron and blood will be completely split up and in pieces !"

Speaking of this, Eckert couldn't help sighing: "It is because of this that the Duke of Varna has the confidence to ask you to ally with him-as he said, bye Eun also needs Boye."

"Without the strong support from Boye, Byrne’s particularity and importance in the empire no longer exist; in addition to his strength is still strong, the land is still rich. We will no longer be any different from other Duchy, and our reputation will be greatly reduced!"

The voice fell, Eckert silently looked towards with no expression, like Loren in contemplation, with complicated eyes.

There is another very important key point, he did not say... that is the importance of the victory of this war to Loren.

This new Duke is different from any previous Duke of Byrne-he is not a direct line of the Torino family, is not a count of the Scarlet Blood Castle, nor is it the Knight of Byrne in the strict sense. It's hard to say if it's not a "bynes".

Only with the victory of this war and the hearty victory can the voice of doubt from inside and outside Duchy be blocked, and then can you become the true Lord of Byrne!

Yes, Grand Duke Varna has seen this through...Loren Torino, how can he choose?

"Since this is the case, why not just ask for help from the Empire?"

Andrew McAffey scratched his head with a dazed expression: "It's just on the border of Boi. There are three legions full of men, which can be tripled even if the auxiliary corps is counted-such a big thing, the masters of the sky palace will not sit back and watch?"

In a word, the whole The rooms are quiet.

"If it is so..." Eckert took a deep breath and explained as calmly as possible: "Since the Duke sent troops, all the sacrifices of Byrne and even Boye will be in vain, and even more dangerous. Situation!"

"The simplest thing is that all achievements and achievements will become the'wise decision' of the Sky Palace, and all failures are our'unauthorized actions'-no one cares about Byrne How many sacrifices and Boe have sacrificed for this war, they will only remember that the empire ended this war!"

"Not so? I..."

"You are the most Okay, just shut up."

The gray pupil glared at him suddenly: "If you don't speak, no one will treat you as dumb!"

It's surprising... Fei did not refute him, but was complexion stiffened, shrinking her neck like a frightened rabbit, and laughed awkwardly: "Uh...you are right, I'd better go out and stand guard— -Prevent someone from eavesdropping outside."

In a room with consterious and confused eyes, cautiously mcafee turned "dirty" and left, not forgetting to close the door with his backhand.

"When did he...when was he so afraid of you?" the black hair wizard couldn't help but ask.

"I don't know." The gray pupil scratched his head, his expression was even more confused than the others in the room: "Could it be that..."

"What?"

"It's nothing!" Lucien shook the head hard, and retreated to the back with his mouth tightly pressed.

Looking at the gray pupil's slightly uneasy expression, Loren shrugged nonchalantly... He really lacks interest in such things with a strong "gossip" atmosphere.

"Actually...If Byrne does withdraw his troops, the Duke of Varna will still be the most stressed?"

The little wizard said tentatively: "He has already experienced a fiasco. , And paid a heavy price-if you lose Byrne’s support, will the other Boys question his rule?

Or try to overthrow him and lead them to resist with a new leader Centaur invasion?"

"There must be a connection between things. Before looking at your own strengths and weaknesses, you must first look at other people's."

The voice falls, Loren and Ike He looked at each other in dismay, looking at each other in blank dismay.

"That...this is all the contents of Mentor Dalton Kander's notes, I just repeated it." At the same time, two pairs of eyes were staring at Ayin's expression a bit at a loss:

"I, did I say something wrong?"

"No, you are right!" Eckert quickly opened the mouth and said, his face suddenly realized: "Between things There must be a connection. Before looking at your own strengths and weaknesses, you must first look at other people's—it couldn’t be more correct!"

"Compared with our need for Boye, it is obvious that Duke Varna needs us more. It’s very important to see this clearly!"

Loren took a deep breath, nodded: "So everything made sense before—he allowed the centaur to besiege us and saved us at a critical moment In the end, he used this kind of private meeting to win over me..."

"Laszlo Varna, his purpose is only one...that is to get the absolute initiative in this war and let Byrne Become his nominal alliance, substantial vassal!"

The little wizard stared wide-eyed in shock.

"He just experienced a terrible defeat, his strength and reputation were greatly damaged, and he urgently needed the support of foreign aid; therefore, he lowered his posture and sought the opportunity of alliance with the duke, using the "fame" of the winner after the war. In exchange for Byrne’s assistance!" Eckert looked solemnly: "Duke, if you did not give him an answer immediately, it will definitely arouse the vigilance of Grand Duke Varna; this is the last time he keeps himself as Grand Duke Poy. The straw of power, he will never give up easily."

"If the soft cannot come, the hard will come!"

"It seems that the banquet tonight will be special It’s wonderful.” The corner of the black hair wizard’s mouth evoked a smile: “One day, one night... The Grand Duke Varna will definitely prepare something special.”

“I’m going to inform others. , Let all the count and the Knights inside and outside the city be prepared, just in case.” Eckert said solemnly: “It is important to be vigilant, but more importantly, you must not leave any handle to the Grand Duke Varna. We can’t take the initiative to cause trouble."

"After all...this is Thousand Tent City, not Scarlet Blood Castle."

Loren slightly nodded, he knew that Eckert was talking about I listened to it myself.

"However, the problem of the dwarves must be resolved." Eckert frowned: "It is still not good for us to fight against two forces at the same time-if we can use diplomatic mediation instead of warfare, It will make this war a lot easier."

"I agree with both hands." Loren relieved, smiling calmly:

"This battle will let our Scarlet Castle female count Go to the great divine prestige!"
