Vol 5 Chapter 42: The haze of war (Part 2)

"Laszlo Varner ... did he really say that?"
In the early morning, Earl Eckert looked at the Duke who had just returned, and the heavy expression made the little wizard and Lucien a little worried.
"I always feel that he hasn't told the truth completely ... or is concealing something deliberately." Loren twitched slightly and folded his hands together: "But at least he didn't lie."
There is a big difference.
Maybe there was a wizard involved, maybe some mutant monsters that he did n’t know ... It ’s hard for ordinary people like Grand Duke Varna to distinguish the differences, he can only judge the other party ’s use by his experience, definitely not from the material The power of the world.
Of course, this result is not the most worrying about Loren ...
"Duke, what is your decision?" Eckert looked serious, staring closely at Loren: "Did you give him any kind of promise?"
"No, I told Grand Duke Varna that I need to think about it carefully and wait for the banquet tonight before giving him the final answer." Loren shook his head and glanced at his count of the Wrathburg: "What do you think, Eckert? "
"Two things."
Eckert's eyes narrowed and his tone was decisive: "First of all, we must evacuate from the Principality of Poi as quickly as possible, and mobilize the entire Principality to start preparing for the war."
"If the Centaur and dwarf alliance, or even the dwarves are used to weaken our vassals, according to the worst outcome, then only the strength of the entire Bain can be confronted-with our current strength, we ca n’t get up at all. No effect! "
"But ... if Byrne withdrew, would Boe have to face the Centaur's aggression alone?" The little wizard asked worriedly: "Now they can really resist the Centaur's attack?"
"This is the second thing I want to say." Eckert said slightly. "If we withdraw immediately, Poe will definitely not be able to support the Centaur's iron ride for too long."
"Maybe Varna can use the walls of the Thousand Accounts City to keep the centaur away from Little Boi, but half of Boi is destined to fall-since the millennium, the friendship between Baine and Poi made of iron and blood will be Completely torn apart! "
Speaking of which, Eckert couldn't help but sigh: "It's because of this that the Duke of Varna will have no fear of asking you to join him-as he said, Byrne also needs Poe."
"Without the strong support from Boye, Byrne ’s particularity and importance in the empire will cease to exist; except for the strength that remains strong and the land still rich, we will no longer have any difference from other principalities, and our reputation Will be greatly discounted! "
As the words fell, Eckert looked silently, like Loren in contemplation, with a complex look.
There is another very important key point, he did not say ... that is the victory of this war and its importance to Loren.
This new Duke is different from any previous Duke of Bayern-he is not a direct line of the Turin family, is not the Earl of Red Blood Fort, nor is it strictly a Bayern Knight, and even he is not considered a "Bayern" It's hard to say.
Only with the victory of this war and with the heartfelt victory can we block the voices of doubts from both home and abroad, and then become the true Lord of Bayern!
That's right, Grand Duke Varna saw this through ... Lorren Turin, how can he choose?
"If this is the case, why not simply ask the Empire for help?"
Andrew McCafferty scratched his head with a blank expression: "There are now three fully-armed regiments at the border of Poi, and the auxiliary regiments can be tripled-such a big thing, the masters of the Sky Dome are not Will you sit and watch? "
In a word, the whole room was quiet.
"If that's the case ..." Eckert took a deep breath and explained as calmly as possible: "Since the Duke sent his troops, all the sacrifices of Byrne and even Poi will go to waste and even fall into a more dangerous situation!"
"The easiest thing is that all the achievements and results will become the" smart decision "of the sky dome. All failures are our" unauthorized actions "-no one will care how much Bain and Poi have sacrificed for this war. , They will only remember that the empire ended this war! "
"Not at all? I ..."
"You better shut up."
The gray pupil glared at him sharply: "If you don't talk, everyone won't treat you as dumb!"
Surprisingly ... Mcaffee didn't refute him, but instead looked stiff, shrinking his neck like a frightened rabbit, laughing awkwardly:
"Uh ... you're right, I'll go out and stand guard-just to prevent someone from eavesdropping."
In a stunned and confused look in the room, the carefully cautious McCafferty turned away and left, not forgetting to close the door with his backhand.
"When did he ... are you so afraid of you?" The black wizard could not help asking.
"I don't know." The gray pupil scratched his head, his expression more confused than the others in the room: "Could it be said ..."
"Say what?"
"It's nothing!" Lucien shook his head vigorously, squeezing his lips back to the back.
Looking at the gray pupil's slightly disturbed expression, Loren shrugged carelessly ... He was really lacking in interest in this kind of thing with a strong "gossip" atmosphere.
"Actually ... If Byrne really withdraws his troops, the most stressed is the Duke of Varna?"
The little wizard tentatively said, "He has already experienced a disastrous defeat, and he paid a heavy price-if the support of Byrne is lost again, will the other Boys question his rule?
Or try to overthrow him and change a new leader to lead them to resist the invasion of Centaur? "
"There must be a connection between things. Before looking at one's own strengths and weaknesses, one must look at others."
When the words fell, Loren and Eckert looked at each other in amazement, and looked at each other.
"That ... it's all in the notes of Instructor Dalton Kander. I just repeated it." At the same time, being stared at by two pairs of eyes, Ayin's expression was a little confused:
"Me, am I saying something wrong?"
"No, you're right!" Eckert said quickly, and his face suddenly realized: "There must be a connection between things. Before looking at your own advantages and disadvantages, you have to look at other people's things-it can't be more correct. ! "
"Compared to the need for Boe, it is obviously that Grand Duke Varna needs us more. It is crucial to see this!"
Loren took a deep breath and nodded: "So everything before made sense-he let the Centaur besiege us, rescued us at a critical moment, and finally used this private meeting to draw me in ... "
"Laszlo Varna has only one purpose ... that is to get the absolute initiative of this war and make Byrne a nominal alliance, a vassal in nature!"
The little wizard widened his eyes in shock.
"He just experienced a disastrous defeat, and his strength and prestige have been greatly damaged, so he urgently needs the support of foreign aid; so he will lower his posture and seek the opportunity of alliance with the Duke, and exchange Bain's assistance with the reputation of the post-war winner! "
Eckert looked stern: "Duke, you did not immediately give him an answer, which will definitely cause the Duke of Varna to be vigilant; this is the last straw that he retains his power as the Duke of Poi. He will never give up easily."
"If it's not soft, it will be hard!"
"It seems that this evening's banquet will be particularly exciting." The black wizard's mouth twitched with a smile: "Day and night ... Grand Duke Varna will definitely prepare a particularly generous meal."
"I'm going to inform others, so that all counts and knights inside and outside the city are prepared ~ EbookFREE.me ~ just in case." Eckert said in a deep voice: "It is important to be alert, but more important The important thing is that we must not leave any handle to Grand Duke Varna, nor can we take the initiative to do things. "
"After all ... this is Qian Qian City, not Red Blood Castle."
Loren sagged slightly, he knew Eckert was talking to himself.
"However, the dwarf's problem also has to be solved." Eckert frowned, "It's still unfavorable for us to fight two forces at the same time-if we can use diplomacy instead of war, it will make this war a lot easier. . "
"I agree with both hands." Loren breathed a sigh of relief, smiling lightly:
"In this battle, let the Countess of the Red Blood Castle go to show its power!" ...
