356. Two-Face
Dayi Territory, after being captured by Sean, was once Sean's largest and most stable source of economic income for the territory. It wasn't until Neil introduced new policies several times that the economic income of the territory gradually became less important, but its stability has not changed. Under Michilin's rule, the entire territory already has a complete system.
So for a long time, whether it is Neil or William, the importance of Dayling is second only to Pandaling.
In this territory, Steel Wings and Thunder Lion have been stationed here to defend, and William and Neil have visited this place several times to directly command, which shows that the importance of this territory is not as simple as casual talk. If it weren't for Sean's sudden surrender and Sean's command was unavailable, Dayi would definitely not have handed over Sean to defense.
It's just that the two armies of Steel Wings and Thunder Lion have been trapped here, which is really a bit overkill.
In the center of the Da'i Territory, there is a city, the brainchild of two generations of the Mitchlin family, and a fortress not far from the city, which echo each other and have long been subsumed into the territory's defense system. Since Sein took over, although he has not modified this defense system, no matter who can see, Sein does not attach importance to the fortress, he just concentrates all his forces in the city, which certainly makes the security of the city much better, but on the other hand, it also makes the strength of the territory too concentrated and may make the defense network monotonous.
After leaving the Void City, Seon and the nobleman from the Nugus family rushed back to the city of Dayi, and it had been eleven days since they left the Void City.
Therefore, the good news that came back from Suo An has already been passed to Sean.
When Sain, who is now the acting lord of the Dayi Lord, returned, someone immediately stepped forward to report and handed him the mission letter that Sean had sent back through magical communication.
Magical communication like this. Only a few letters can be delivered, and the cost of each transmission is enormous. Therefore, on the Miracle Continent, if it is not a particularly important and urgent matter, magic communication is generally not enabled. It is precisely because of this that Sean is naturally very curious about Sean's willingness to spend a lot of money to deliver this letter.
Before he could sit down, he had opened the letter.
There are only two words on it.
Begin.
Others may not understand the meaning of these two words, but because he participated in the military meeting held in Void City eleven days ago, Sean immediately understood the meaning of these two words.
These two words mean that the second phase of planning begins.
"It seems that the hole card hidden on the side of the Suo'an Collar is the Howard family's Mountain Lion Legion." Sein smiled and glanced at the member of the Nugus family, but his smile was no matter how he looked at it. Obviously, people have a great desire to come forward and beat them up, "I'm afraid the Howard family is really going to cry this time." ”
This member of the Nugus family had an extremely ugly face.
"Don't believe me?" Sein raised an eyebrow, then tugged at a rope in the room.
Soon, there was a knock on the door outside the study.
"Come in." Sein's voice was cold as frost.
"My lord, what's the matter?" A gray-haired man opened the door and walked in.
"Bring me the backup file of the information that was sent back to Void City a few days ago." Sein sat in a chair behind his desk. At this time, he was looking through the unprocessed documents that had been piled up because of his previous departure, and he said without raising his head.
"Yes." The gray-haired elderly man. It was Sain's butler in the Lord's Mansion in this city.
And according to Sein's previous order. Any intelligence that passes through here must be backed up. Although the old butler did not know the purpose and reason for Sain's actions, as a cautious old man, he still followed this order very seriously and prudently, so whether Sain was present or not, as long as all the information transmitted in the area under Sain's management was carried out, it would be backed up and collected and organized.
Soon. The old butler sent over the battle report that had been passed back to Void City through here five days ago.
Sain glanced at it, the corners of his mouth raised, and he threw the piece of paper to the nobleman from the family of Nugus. The latter took the piece of paper and glanced at it, and immediately showed a look of horror on his face. There was no pride and contempt at all, only incredible shock.
There was just one sentence written on the piece of paper.
"The main force of the Mountain Lion Legion is three thousand, and the enemy commander Rowell. Howard fled, and we are currently in pursuit. ”
A simple sentence completely showed the strength of the Thunder Lion, and at this time the nobleman was willing to believe the fact that Sean's first army under Sean was the Thunder Lion instead of the steel wings they had speculated.
"Such an army...... There is no number of flags? ”
"He's just a baron." Sein sneered as he reminded the nobleman of a fact he had to face.
Sean still became a baron because of the war with the Hasteens, otherwise he would have been just a pioneer knight. It was only after becoming a baron that Sean could finally hang the family flag with his family crest, otherwise even if the Thunder Lion and Iron Wings were his private armies, they could only hang the family crest banner belonging to Asuna.
And a person who has only been a baron for half a year naturally cannot enter the sight of the high-level leaders of the Duchy of Lane. Even if they could, I'm afraid few people would believe that Sean's army could have the number banner, even if it was the entire Principality of Lane, only seven armies had the number banner. According to the current strength of the army under Sean, there are three armies that can apply to have the number flag, which is almost equivalent to half of the entire Principality of Lane's independent number army.
Does anyone believe that a baron has three legions that have been awarded the banner?
This is almost equal to the military power of a powerful duke of a second-rate kingdom.
But whether others believe it or not, Sain knows very well that Sean does have this strength.
"Where are you going?" Seeing that the nobleman from the Nugus family got up in a panic and wanted to leave, Sean asked coldly.
"I ...... I'm going to inform Your Highness. "It was a little unnatural for this nobleman to be drunk like this by Sein. However, he still reacted quickly, "Let her immediately send someone to support the Mountain Lion Legion, if she can......"
"Huh." Sein let out a chuckle and then shrugged his shoulders indifferently, "If you think it's useful, go for it." ”
The other party instinctively wanted to step out, but it seemed that he thought of something, and finally did not leave here, he just turned his head and looked at Sein with a puzzled expression.
With a slight effort of his left hand, Sain closed a book he was flipping through. Then he raised his head to look at the young member of the Nugus family, and said with a calm face: "Do you know what Alfred's army is called the Lion of Thunder?" ”
"For ...... For what? ”
"Because the Thunder Lion, under Sean's command, is known for its fiercest combat style, shortest combat time, and highest combat efficiency, and it is a truly swift and thunderous army." Sean explained in a deep voice, "Originally, according to Sean's naming conventions for armies. The Lion of Thunder was originally called Thunder Wing, but because Alfred was called the Lion King. That's why it was renamed the Lion of Thunder. ”
Speaking of which. Sein stretched out his finger and pointed to the note in the nobleman's hand, and spoke again: "The battle report you are holding in your hand was sent from here to the Void City five days ago, which means that it is actually a war report from eleven days ago. …… And judging from Alfred's serious attitude towards the mission and the combat style of the Thunder Lion, eleven days was not enough time for him to catch up with the other troops of the Mountain Lion Legion, and even the Mountain Lion Legion had been annihilated. ”
"This ...... How is this possible......"
"Believe it or not. Anyway, I believe it. Sein shrugged, "If I were you, I'd report back the worst, if Hela. Nugus is the words of a wise man. Then she knew how to take advantage of this opportunity. …… I think the 4th Dabiang Regiment is good. ”
The Fourth Legion of Dabiang, although it did not receive the number banner, is also a fourth-level army, with an establishment of 50,000 people, which belongs to the Southern Military Region of the Kingdom of Dabiang, and is also one of the main legions of the southern nobles besieging Sean this time.
With the shrewdness of this member of the Nugus family, he immediately understood the meaning of Sein's words. If all the vacancies of 15,000 men under Seon's command are filled by Dabiang's Fourth Legion, then this is definitely a powerful threat to Sean in the current situation, maybe as long as Sean shows the slightest slackness, then this army can easily take Sean.
"I'll report it right away." The member of the Nugus family turned away with an excited look on his face.
After all, the Mountain Lion Legion is only the private soldier of the Howard family, not the Nugus family, so although he feels a little pity for the destruction of the Mountain Lion Legion, it will not make him feel pain after all. But if their Nugus family can take advantage of this opportunity to successfully take down Sean, then this will be a great credit to the Dabiang Kingdom, and maybe they can make the Nugus family the head of the five dukes of Dabiang in one fell swoop.
After the nobleman had left, Sein picked up a quill and wrote a sentence on a blank piece of paper: "The second phase of the plan has gone well so far, and Dabion will send fifteen thousand men into my troops."
After thinking about it, he added another sentence: The other party already knows the movement of the Thunder Lion.
When he had finished writing these words, Seon enclosed the piece of paper in an envelope, pulled the rope again, and when the old butler came in, he handed the letter to the butler, and asked him to deliver it to Sean at once.
It was only after the old butler had left that Sein put down the quill, and then closed his eyes to calm his breathing.
After more than ten minutes like this, he opened his eyes again, this time he did not hide it in the slightest, and there was only endless hatred in his eyes: "I wonder if you will be shocked when you find out that the fifteen thousand soldiers are not ordinary soldiers, but the soldiers of the Fourth Legion of Dabiang?" ”
In Sain's eyes, he didn't have any good feelings for the Nugus family since he didn't send troops to reinforce his father and let his father die in battle. This time, the Nugus family found him, and for Sein, it was just a mutual use: Nugus wanted to use him to infiltrate Sean, and he wanted to use Nugus to completely break into Sean's inner circle and know more of Sean's secrets and schemes.
In William's tactical plan, the second stage was for him to promise Nugus to send people to disguise themselves as his army, and then Sean and William would find a way to eat all this army, so as to completely weaken the combat power of Dabiang's southern nobles.
In this regard, Sain did not object, but behaved very cooperatively. It's just that he used hints and intelligence hypnosis along the way to let the Nugus family directly use the fourth legion of Dabiang, after all, now after the loss of Alfred and the Lion of Thunder, although the military strength of Sean is quite a lot, but it is also relatively weak, at this time, if the fourth legion of Dabiang can give Sean an an unexpected surprise, then he will naturally have a chance to solve Sean and avenge his father.
Of course, if Dabiang's Fourth Legion is finally eaten by Sean, there will be no loss for him, because the loss will only be on Dabiang's side. On the contrary, he can even gain the trust of Sean and William through this cooperation.
With Sein's intelligence, he knew very well that it would be difficult to succeed with the help of external forces. But if he can successfully gain the trust of Sean and William and become one of his core members, then Sean will definitely lower his guard against him, and the chances for him to kill Sean will only increase. It is precisely because of this idea that when the Nugus family came to him at will, he did not plan to be obedient and return to the Dabiang Kingdom to be the dog of the Nugus family, but thought about how to completely squeeze the value of Nugus so that it would be easier for him to break into Sean's core.
Of course, if Dabiang's Fourth Legion can really get rid of Sean this time, Sain certainly won't mind.
So in terms of this strategy alone, Sain was the winner from the start, because there was no place for him in this gamble, and he would not be stupid enough to risk his life so quickly.
It's just that if Sean knew that Sean could clearly see through his hostility to himself because he had a true eye, then Sean probably wouldn't think so. Because in Sean's eyes, Sean will always be a loser, and whether he will join the gambling game and play with Sean himself, he will lose the most important resource in the plot to gain Sean's trust.
Two-faced, when they are completely isolated and lose trust, they no longer have a chance to turn the tables. (To be continued......)
