Liu Xing and Yin En walked and chatted and came to Zhang Wenbing's room.

At this time, Zhang Wenbing and Ding Kun were already in place.

After Liu Xing sat down, he told the news he and Yin En had heard.

"It's no wonder that Covance thinks so highly of us because he's not in a good position right now, but it's good news for us because if Covance is smarter, he should know what to do." Zhang Wenbing said with a smile.

Ding Kun shrugged his shoulders and said: "I think this may be a little difficult, because judging from Cowens's family history, Covance is definitely not a reckless man who can only lead troops to fight, otherwise he would not have been promoted from a commoner to a marquis in the past few decades, and the reason why he let the two Covin brothers go to the Church of Light as missionaries is probably to leave a way back for his family, so I think Covance is very similar to the low-profile version of Sima Yi." ”

"Sima Yi?" Yin En raised his eyebrows, and said with some doubts: "Brother Ding, do you mean, is it very likely that Covens will usurp the country?" ”

Ding Kun nodded and said seriously: "That's right, I think Covens is very ambitious, because what he is doing now is likely to deliberately show weakness to King Skaven, because I just met a guard in the castle, and I learned a news from that guard, that is, the conscription order issued by King Skaven actually only requires the number of troops that each lord needs to provide, and does not force each lord to recruit new soldiers in his own territory, So Covance can recruit mercenaries to complete the mission, so that it only needs to spend some money. ”

"We are now very clear that the background of this module is medieval Europe, and the main force of war in medieval Europe is often mercenaries, because those nobles generally only need to provide some cavalry to participate in the war, so it is not a shame to hire mercenaries at this time, and with the financial resources of the Covance family, it can fully afford a mercenary force of about 2,000 people, so theoretically Covens is not as passive as we imagined now, Recruits that can't be recruited can be replaced by mercenaries altogether. ”

"However, judging from the current situation, Covance does not intend to hire mercenaries, but wants to rely on Zhang Jingxu's status as a brave man to force King Skaven to forgive him for recruiting a thousand less soldiers and horses, so is it any good for Covance to do this? On the surface, Covens will do more harm than good by doing this, because although Covens has spent less money to hire mercenaries, he will still be hated by King Skaven, and although King Skaven will temporarily endure because of Zhang Jingxu's brave name, but after we leave the Skaven Kingdom, King Skaven will definitely find a chance to settle accounts after the fall, so why did Covens do this. ”

Ding Kun paused here for a moment and glanced at Liu Xing and the others

In fact, hearing this, Liu Xing also understood what Ding Kun meant, and Liu Xing also agreed with Ding Kun's idea very much.

I didn't expect Covance to be so scheming.

"Obviously, Covens will definitely not be stupid enough to offend his new king for a little money, especially since this king's temper is not very good, so he has only one purpose in doing this, that is, to show weakness to the enemy, and want to make King Skaven think that he has no financial resources and manpower, and then King Skaven will lower Covens's title a little more and take back some more fiefs, then in terms of the character of this King Skaven, he is likely to ignore Covens, At that time, Covance will be able to rest in peace like Sima Yi, and wait until the right time to make a splash! Ding Kun concluded.

Liu Xing and the others nodded in agreement.

Liu Xing touched his chin and said, "Sure enough, we are still a little lax, thinking that this medium-difficulty mod will be much easier, but if it weren't for Brother Ding getting this important information, we would probably be tricked by Cowens, and we thought that we had taken advantage of it." ”

Yin En sighed, nodded and said: "It seems that this Covens's ambition is not small, it stands to reason that he can recruit mercenaries to complete the mission, so that King Skaven can't do anything to him, after all, he didn't make any mistakes; But now he took the initiative to leave a handle for King Skaven, this dangerous move really requires a lot of courage, but Covens wants to use his little territory to seek a usurpation of the throne, will he be a little too ambitious? ”

Ding Kun smiled and said affirmatively: "I also thought so at the beginning, after all, Covens's territory is so big, and it is really impossible to rebel, so I went to find out some information from other people, and found that the current Skaven Kingdom is a powder keg, which may explode at any time, because when the Skrit clan chose to help the prince seize the throne, a great disaster was buried, because that prince is not the legitimate heir of the Skaven Kingdom." ”

According to the information collected by Ding Kun, the prince who won the throne with the help of the Scurry clan was actually an illegitimate child, who was assigned to a border town as a lord by the previous king at a very young age, so he only had the title of prince in name, but in fact he had no inheritance rights.

However, because the Skrit clan entered the Skaven kingdom from the prince's territory, the prince deceived the chief of the Skrly clan at that time and said that he was actually the rightful heir of the Skaven kingdom, and was banished here by other rebels vying for the throne, so he was willing to exchange favorable terms for the help of the Skrly clan.

So, the chief of the Scurry clan, who was worried about having no place to stay, agreed to the prince's request and sent troops to help the prince take the throne.

At the same time, the chief of the Scurry clan finally found out that he had been deceived.

But the matter has come to this, and the prince has fulfilled his promise, so the chief of the Scurry clan can only pinch his nose and admit it, but since then, the Scurry clan and the Skaven kingdom have become "surface brothers", and they have only reached a consensus on dealing with the plague clan, and other times the two sides have maintained a certain distance.

This means that the current Skrit clan will not be on the side of the current Skaven royal family.

In addition, because the prince seized the throne by improper means, many nobles and descendants of the royal family are dissatisfied with the current Skaven royal family, and there have been many rebellions over the years, and there are even rumors that the previous Skaven king died in assassination, so the new king will be eager to make achievements to consolidate his throne.

By the way, because the previous king wanted to show favors to some of the big lords in exchange for their support, there are now many dominions within the kingdom of Skaven, and some of the lords don't even need to pay taxes and fees, and they are completely a state within a state.

"I see, it would be a ticking time bomb." Liu Xing frowned and said, "If King Skaven is not able to successfully quell the rebels and solve the plague clan entrenched in Ruszia this time, then the prestige of this new king will fall to the bottom, and those big lords will definitely take the opportunity to make trouble, it can be said that as long as this war is lost, then the Skaven Kingdom will fall into civil strife again, and when the time comes, either someone will replace it, or there will be no Skaven Kingdom from now on; And even if King Skaven can win this war, then it is tantamount to quenching his thirst, because victory in the war means rewarding, and some great lords have no reward. ”

"If there is no reward, then King Skaven only has two choices, one is to let those big lords establish a vassal state on the spot like the Scurry clan, and the other is to find a way to completely wipe out these big lords, and these two options are very unfavorable to King Skaven, the former is equivalent to ceding territory, and the latter will cause more rebellions!" Yoon continued.

Obviously, the current Skaven Kingdom has entered the final countdown, and no matter who wins or loses in the next war, the Skaven Kingdom will become history nine times out of ten!

At this time, Zhang Wenbing rubbed his temples and said, "What kind of thing is this, why were we caught in such a big event?" ”

Ding Kun nodded, and said a little helplessly: "I didn't expect that this medium-difficulty mod would come up with such a cheating plot, and we haven't been able to get out of this plot yet, but anyway, we still have to find a way to solve the plague clan, after all, this is our main task, and then we can only go to the city of light after the fight, and we must not stay in the Skaven Kingdom for a long time." ”

As soon as Ding Kun's words fell, the KP husky said with a smile: "Hehe, in fact, you all guessed the next main quest wrong, because the plague clan is indeed not worthy of the name, and they will not spread the plague, so the next main quest has nothing to do with the plague clan." ”

。。。

Liu Xing and the others were all confused, but they didn't expect that the next main quest would not be to solve the plague clan?!

At this time, KP Husky continued: "So you still don't have to make up so many plots, but your idea is really interesting, and we will launch similar mods for other players to play in the future, after all, medieval Europe and the Cthulhu Mythos are still quite compatible, and it happens to launch a parallel world with ancient times as the background; Without further ado, congratulations to all of you for officially triggering the main quest for this stage - the Mansion Will Fall: the kingdom of Skaven is now crumbling, and all forces are eyeing the throne, but the young King Skaven knows nothing about it. ”

"As a passing brave team, you naturally don't want to see the Skaven Kingdom in ruins, so you have decided to support a certain force in the Skaven Kingdom to seize power, so you can now choose to assist a certain force: one, Louis, the king of Skaven, the task is extremely difficult; Second, Cowens, the lord of Jinfeng City, has a difficult task; Three, Bonaparte, lord of the city of Sigaco, the task is of medium difficulty; Fourth, Wellington, the Imperial Spy, the difficulty of the mission is simple; Five, forget it, let's go on it ourselves, the difficulty of the task is hell. ”

After listening to the mission introduction of KP Husky, Liu Xing and the others were no longer able to complain.

When he heard that Scarvin's new king was named Louis, Liu Xing subconsciously thought of Louis XVI's unlucky bastard, and after listening to the representatives of the remaining major forces, Liu Xing was even more sure that this was playing Louis XVI's stalk.

Who was Louis XVI?

The only king in Europe to be executed.

This already foreshadows the future of King Skaven, so it is extremely difficult to assist him.

As for Bonaparte in Cigaco City, Liu Xing knew after thinking for a moment that this was actually Napoleon, because Napoleon's surname was Bonaparte, and as for Cigaco City, it was the island of Cocaci upside down, so although Liu Xing hadn't seen Bonaparte yet, it was not difficult to think that this Bonaparte should be a short man... Although Napoleon's height of 1.7 meters is not too short, this does not affect the mod to play this meme.

Moreover, Louis XVI was the king of France, and Bonaparte took his place as a matter of course, so the difficulty given by the KP Husky was medium.

As for Wellington, the Imperial spy is clearly a reference to the General Wellington who defeated Napoleon at Waterloo.

Of course, because Wellington, as a spy sent by the empire to the Skaven Kingdom, must have the support of the Empire behind him, so the possibility of him defeating Bonaparte and obtaining the throne of the Skaven Kingdom is quite high, so the difficulty of assisting Wellington will be easy, which is very scientific.

It's understandable that Cowens' support is difficult, as Covance is not a "historical figure", so he doesn't have any "plot" advantage.

As for the hellish difficulty that he knew was impossible to complete at a glance, Liu Xing didn't want to make any comments on it.

"Alright, you still have an hour to choose which side to assist." KP Husky said with a smile.

Liu Xing and the others were silent for a while before Ding Kun spoke: "First of all, we can rule out the first and last choices, because these two choices are wrong at a glance, after all, how can we foreigners get the throne of the Skaven Kingdom, unless this is really France; As for Louis, King of Skaven, we know from his name that the gallows is his final destination, and there is no difference between us following him and looking for death. ”

Liu Xing nodded and said seriously: "I think so too, so in fact, there are only three strengths for us to choose, but what I want to say now is that the difficulty provided by KP is for reference only." ”
