Chapter 52 5 Agreements
A feast for Viscount Libera filled the room.
Although Libera's name is viscount, she is actually far away from the life circle of the Yaqui nobles, and most of them hang out in the taverns of the commoners. However, Libera is by no means a person who has never seen the world, and in all the major celebrations, Libera, who has to attend, has also seen the extravagance of the upper class of the sub-unit, but what he has experienced before is really far from the specifications of the banquet in front of him. Kadir did pay great attention to the quality of life during the years of neglect, all the best ingredients that could be found in the country of Yaki are displayed here, even the specialties of Frank, Arubania, and even Paz are also dazzling, all the food is served in silver vessels inlaid with all kinds of gems and pearls, groups of female slaves kneel beside them, and bring all kinds of food to their mouths at any time, and the wine is mixed with the aroma of food, blending with the fragrance of women, the soft carcass at your fingertips, the soft whispers in your ears, and the pleasant scenery, It's like falling into heaven.
Libera, who felt the heat all over, glanced at King Kadir, His Majesty was obviously enjoying it, every bite of food was brought to his mouth by the slave girls with their cherry lips, Kadir tasted the food and the tongue of the slave girl at the same time, and his hands gently rubbed the two slave girls at the same time, and the slave girls let out emotional **.
Libera hurriedly turned her gaze away, lest her lust prevail over reason. When he looked at Vulture, he was surprised to find that Vulture seemed indifferent to all this, indifferently accepting these naked slave girls to serve him, even if the youthful and elastic flesh was rubbing against him, he didn't even brow a brow. Libera couldn't help but admire in her heart. If Vultures wasn't a devout cultist, then his ability to disguise himself was indeed beyond the ordinary.
Libera saluted Vulture with her glass, and Vulture returned the salute with honey water. The two looked at each other and smiled, and each took a sip. Libera put down her wine glass and said, "Lord Vulture, this time you are fighting with the thief army, I don't know what you think of the enemy chief Li Tianhao and his people?" ”
Vultures swallowed the chilled grapes in his mouth and replied, "Lord Libera has fought with this man, and must know this very well. Although he has never personally fought with Li Tianhao and others. However, his ability to use troops is outstanding. The original plan was to use the forces of the Eastern Front to hold off the main force of this man, and then attack the city of Epsommiton, but there were two miscalculations. The first is that the forces of the Eastern Front were broken in such a short period of time, so that they could not hold back the main force of the thief army as planned, and the second is that Li Tianhao was able to cross the river to reinforce when the flood season of the Nanluo River arrived, which fully shows that this person's skills in using troops are too ordinary. And it is very outstanding for the dispatch of the water army. Even during flood times, it was able to transport large armies across the Namra River. After a melee in the city of Epsommiton, our army was disrupted by him at the critical moment of conquering the city, you must know that the strength ratio of the thief army at that time was more than 3,000 than our army 10,000, although the other party was cavalry, but in the face of the priest army's fanatical will to fight, he was still able to divide the combined attack according to the battle situation, and easily forced our army out of the city, this tactical command ability is enough to show his strength. And listen to the subordinates under the description. This person's personal bravery is even more formidable, if what his subordinates say is true. In the next judgment, I am afraid that no one in the Yaki army will be able to defeat this man except Lord Libera. ”
Libera nodded repeatedly, and Vulture's judgment was very accurate, almost exactly the same as her own feelings. However, he noticed one more thing, that is, the Vulture, who had always shown an indifferent expression, had a look of excitement in his eyes when he talked about this topic. Even when Kadir rewarded him, he didn't have the slightest mood swings, and he was indifferent to the beautiful women, but when talking about the military situation, there was such a subtle change in his eyes, could it be said that this person's interest was only in battle? Thinking of this, Libera smiled and said, "Lord Vultures is really insightful, and I feel the same way. Moreover, I heard that this Li Tianhao's subordinates have a group of minions, including the rebel generals in our army, Gernas and the like, and there seem to be quite remarkable figures among these people, so in terms of human resources, the thief army is not inferior to our army. So I'd like to ask Vulture-sama what your best strategy is to defeat such an opponent? ”
Hearing this, Vulture leaned forward slightly and said, "In my humble opinion, although Li Tianhao's sudden rise is a fluke, it is also due to his strength. Since then, the thieves have had few defeats in their rebellion, so his followers are not so much loyal to him as they are worshipping his successive victories. If this myth can be shattered, then the thief army will not be monolithic, and it will be expected to divide and disintegrate their system. At that time, our army will be able to exterminate the thief army in one fell swoop. ”
"You're right, but with all due respect, it's a bit of a reversal. It is precisely because the thief army believes that Li Tianhao can win that they gather together, if they want to eliminate this confidence, they must first defeat Li Tianhao, but how can they defeat Li Tianhao if they are united? ”
Vultures put his hands on the table, smiled, and said, "As you said, my lord, there is a rather unstable factor in their group at present, and that is our former vassal, Palci. Although Li Tianhao became Airul's son-in-law, Li Tianhao's rise to prominence would inevitably cause an imbalance in the power structure within Palci, and the greater his successes, the more likely it was that this balance would collapse. Under the fire in the backyard, Li Tianhao couldn't save the defeat even if he was a god. He had just been taught a lesson, he was bound to take revenge, and the farther he moved away from the center of power in Palci, the greater the danger he became. If we can ignore the gains and losses of one city and one place, and let him go deep into our territory but cannot extricate himself, his crisis will be like fermented wine, and there will be a qualitative change as quickly. ”
At this point, Libera was convinced of her judgment, and the deep feelings that Vulture showed when facing the topic of war were almost like an innocent teenager. Then he said: "What Lord Vultures said is extremely true, it is really useless for you to only command an army of 50,000 priests. If adults can command hundreds of thousands of troops, how can Li Tianhao and his ilk be enough. ”
Libera's words struck Vultures like an arrow. Vulture's face changed, and although he tried to hide his gaffe, he couldn't hide the tremor of the muscles on his face at that moment. Vulture drank all the honey water in the cup, calmed down his mood fluctuations, and then said slowly: "It's a pity that Your Majesty's army is not as loyal, brave, and dedicated as the priest army, and it is more convenient to command the priest army below. ”
Libera smiled satisfactorily, and Vulture's tone was far less firm and desireless than before, and the regret in it was unmistakable. At that moment, Libera looked at King Kadir, who was kissing the slave girls deeply, but Kadir nodded slightly at him, obviously Kadir's mind was not attracted to these slave girls in the slightest. When Libera saw that Kadir had given permission, she smiled at Vulture: "At present, the priest army has suffered a lot of casualties, and it may not be able to deal with the thief army with the current strength, and the training level of the Yaji army does need to be improved. I have a reluctant request, can I ask Lord Vultures to help His Majesty train the soldiers of Yaki? So that they can better meet the requirements of the Vulture-sama's desired army? ”
Libera's request was not a move to divide the Vultures and the High Priests, and it was a high-sounding reason to help His Majesty train the army. However, this opened up some kind of connection between Vultures and the king, and the trained army was the best bait to lure Vultures to command them. Vulture's interest in war will inevitably greatly torment his spirit, and his position will be more biased towards the king's side, as long as he can satisfy Vulture's **, then it will only be a matter of time before he is enveloped.
"This is willing to do a little bit for the Yaki Army." Vultures hesitated, but agreed.
Libera cast her eyes on Kadir again, Kadir nodded, let go of the right hand holding the female slave **, and nodded to the female slaves serving around and the female officials standing, those female slaves untied the cloth wrapped around their lower bodies, and the female officials also removed their clothes one after another, and then surrounded the two distinguished guests like a flock of birds.
Vultures didn't refuse, allowing the young women to strip themselves of their clothes and roll with him. Libera, of course, would not refuse the enthusiasm of the beauties, and since the task assigned by the king had been completed, then of course he would gladly accept the king's reward. All of a sudden, the song of the warbler and the swallow language filled the entire honey garden. (To be continued......)
