Chapter 131: Concerns (Ai)
"It would be better if we could get in touch with the Imperial Army at this time, and let the Imperial Army outflank them from behind! Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Info Alfie didn't notice the worry in Christopher's eyes, and the more she talked, the more excited she became.
"The Imperial Army's outflanking and confidants are in trouble? Christopher coughed lightly and said with a wry smile.
"What? Am I not right?" Alfie thought the plan was seamless, but why did he hear a hint of sarcasm in Christopher's tone.
"Tactically, the plan was perfect, but there were a couple of issues that I don't know if you considered. Seeing Alfie's puzzled expression, Christopher cleared his throat and said.
"First of all, if you want to complete this plan, you must first notify the Imperial Army of the information in time, it seems that we can't do it at the moment, and the battle situation is changing rapidly, and when the Imperial Army knows the news, I am afraid that the best opportunity will be lost. With a slight wave of his hand, Christopher stopped Alfie, who was about to interject, and continued:
"I know you may have a way of getting the message to the Imperial Army in a timely manner, but have you ever thought about it, even if we could get the news to the Imperial Army in time, would the Imperial Army be able to trust us and send troops to help? Christopher's words made Alfie ponder, trust is indeed a big problem.
"Third, I think you may have overestimated the speed of the Imperial Army's reaction. From the fact that the Wall of Sighs was breached overnight, it can be known that the Imperial Army is no longer the invincible and powerful army that was invincible and invincible in the past. From getting the information, to winning the trust, and then through the generals who have the right to speak, most likely Marshal Sebastin, or even Emperor Rey III himself, to make up their minds and send troops to help, even if all goes well, by the time such a circle is over, the precious fighter plane may have been missed. Probably talking too much at once, Christopher suddenly let out a violent cough, giving Alfie a chance to argue.
"The Imperial Army isn't as bad as you say, is it?, as far as I know, the reason why the defenses of the Wall of Sighs have become weaker is because Bishop Olufi of the Holy See has transferred the 'mechanical chariots' to assist in the defense, which has given the thieves a chance. Although Alfie was very reluctant to fall victim to the Holy See because of Serent's connections, he did not want to be biased because of his personal connections. This is the professionalism of a bard.
"Oh, you're saying that Olufi transferred the Mechanical Chariot to create the Wall of Sighs that was weakly defended? I always thought it was the undead Scourge. Christopher said thoughtfully.
"As far as I know, the Scourge of the Undead was purified before it had time to affect the Wall of Sighs. As one of the parties involved, Alfie is undoubtedly the most vocal in this matter.
"Looks like you've really surprised me. I wonder if you can tell me more about what you know?" asked Christopher, interested.
"Of course, that's fine, but shouldn't we get in touch with the Imperial Army before that?" said Elfie was the most important thing right now.
"I'm afraid it's too late, you don't know Carmond's fighting style at all, I'm afraid that at this time, a considerable part of the thieves' nest is already in the war. As I said earlier, we don't have anything to convince the Imperial Army of right away. And once the war starts, if we can't completely wipe out their nest before the thieves come back to help, we will be in the predicament of being attacked from the back, you must know that our forces are actually quite limited. Christopher's answer was flawless, and Alfie had to agree with him.
"And I think you also have a little misunderstanding, in fact, neither I nor Carmond have the slightest affection for the Empire, and the reason why we sent troops to exterminate the thieves is just to keep the common people from being harassed by the thieves. Christopher pursed his lips and said, "So we don't have the possibility of working with the Empire." ā
"I see. Christopher's words resonated strongly with Alfie, and in fact he did not have the slightest affection for the Empire.
"If you have no objections, please let me know as much as you can about the Scourge of the Dead, and I would be grateful. Christopher pleaded again.
"Well, it all started a few days ago, when Cardinal Olufi suddenly led a group of Knights of Light to the small town of Frosacken......" Alfie cleared his throat and began to speak with reservations. He agrees with Christopher that it seems too late to do anything else, and that if he had come here sooner, everything would have been different.
What Alfie didn't know was that once the bandits were completely wiped out, Camp Calus would face the Empire's Iron Horsemen, which was Christopher's greatest fear. With the character of Emperor Rey III, it was absolutely intolerable to tolerate such an uncontrolled armed force on the territory of the empire. If you want to solve this armed force, there are only two ways, Huairou or extermination.
Christopher, who is well aware of Camund's personality, believes that this guy will not give in to the emperor no matter what, so the war between the two armies is an inevitable result, and no matter what the outcome is, it will be a huge loss to the empire, which Christopher does not want to see anyway.
Especially after the cataclysm severed all ties with the Western Kingdom, God knows what happened to the Western Kingdom, and in this case, every combat power is extremely important to humanity. This is one of the reasons why Christopher is reluctant to be ruthless against the thieves, and he believes that there are also many people in the thieves who can fight for them.
In fact, Christopher led the Silver Wolf Mercenary Group to sneak into the Wall of Sighs thousands of miles away, just to find some help outside the Imperial Army, and he was lucky to find Carmond, but in his heart it was not enough, he even set his mind on the alien race on the other side of the river. This is also an important reason why he is so tolerant of Alfie's spy.
If Alfie knew Christopher's true intentions, he would have unceremoniously pointed out that his thinking was extremely wrong, and that this game of dancing on the tip of a knife was undoubtedly very dangerous, and he would be crushed if he was not careful. This kind of approach of trying to be left and right and exquisite, as long as it is not careful, it will immediately attract serious backlash, and the final result is not as good as honestly seeing the tricks.
In another world that Alfie is familiar with, history has proven this countless times, how many amazing geniuses have chosen this path, and finally fallen before success, and there are very few who succeed, strictly speaking. After all, the most difficult thing to grasp in this world is the human heart. Alfie believes that no one but God can do this completely.
And everyone who chooses this path is physically and mentally exhausted, in fact, many geniuses are not only defeated by the opponent's crazy counterattack, but also lose to their own body, which is why there is an eternal tragedy of dying before leaving the school.
Unfortunately, Alfie did not know Christopher's true intentions at this time, and thus lost the opportunity to dissuade him. Even so, Alfie could see that Christopher's body was definitely not as strong as it seemed, at least when he was interrupted several times by Christopher's violent coughing as he recounted the earth-shattering battle of the previous day.
