"... So this is an ultimatum?"

In front of the closed main entrance of the main hall of the Heavenly Dome, the heavily armoured Grand Duke Elmand looked solemn, and there was a strong anger in his tight mouth.

As for the Count Angut of the Rock Fort on the side, it was less polite-clutching the hilt of the big sword behind him, the royal guards on both sides even suspected that he would wield the sword and cut them, and then stain the heavenly palace.

"I'm sorry, if possible, please accept my sincerest apologies-this is not what I want, nor is it something I can control, or even I try to avoid, but it just happened." Minister Metternich calmly said:

"After discussion throughout the night, the Imperial Parliament rejected your request to send troops. It is still the most important thing to protect the safety of the emperor. We can't take the risk of dividing troops to rescue the Duke Byrne and let the empire's army go out of the city to fight."

"That's the Duke of Byrne, we are byrne!"

"But you are still the corps of the empire, Duke Byrne is also the prince of the empire, and a member of the noble knight of the royal sword!" Metternich retorted without hesitation: "Could it be because you did not meet your heart, you can see the empire The resolution is nothing-this is not the style of the country of knights I remember! "

The irresistible Earl of Shanyanbao was blocked and speechless, and he stopped talking several times, and finally he could only stare at the minister in front of him with a murderous eye.

"If there is nothing else, please allow me to retire for the time being."

Although the short-sighted despair of the "colleagues" of the Imperial Parliament reached its extreme, the Minister Xi, still obliged to maintain the dignity of the Parliament, nodded slightly at the two army commanders in front of him, and turned back to the Parliament Hall.

At this time, any explanation is pale and meaningless.

"boom--!"

"When are you going to start?"

Almost didn't wait for the door closer to leave, the Earl of Shanyanbao turned his head to the Grand Duke Elmand without any care, and his direct voice did not hide his anger.

"Wait, at least ... can't be now." Yuli Wiltz frowned and sighed to meet the other's gaze: "Listen, I know you are worried about the safety of Loren Turin now, but we The decision of the Imperial Parliament cannot be violated-at least not so blatantly. "

"but……"

"not to mention!"

Yuli Wiltz stole: "We don't know his exact location, and we don't even know what he intends to do; in this case, sending troops out of nowhere will most likely destroy his plan, or even lose sight of each other."

"Then what are we going to do, just wait?"

"Observation is also a very important link-the movements of the Azores and the news of the" Duke of Black "that has been blasting outside the capital city recently, which can help us make more accurate judgments."

Duke Elmand ’s eyes showed a childlike sly luster: "The Imperial Parliament does not allow us to send troops, but it does not prohibit the scouts from gathering intelligence, so I scattered more than a thousand light infantry outside the city-now this time, now Someone should have returned to report. "

"Yeah, but ... how did you let your light infantry in and out of the city defense, aren't those places under the control of the Imperial Capital Corps?"

"Yes, they are in their hands." Yuli Wiltz nodded: "But the facts are often different from what they seem. For example, the so-called 'Emperor Corps' was temporarily recruited by the imperial nobles, and they didn't care. Who are your soldiers, so ... it ’s easy to use some hands and feet to set them aside. "

"So you actually control the city defense of the Imperial City ?!"

"……you could put it that way."

"And the entire emperor is under your control ?!"

"... can't say that completely."

"Then why do you want to come here and ask for these dross?"

Yuli Wiltz feels that this matter may be really difficult for the one in front of him to really understand.

"It's a bit complicated to say, but I don't think you should care either-what you care about is the safety of Loren Turin." Grand Duke Ellerman turned down the stairs and glanced at An, who was still staring behind him. Earl Gert:

"Let's take a look at the intelligence and decide what to do next?"

…………………………

While the mess was in the Imperial City, the dark-haired wizard who was still in the blockade zone and "hiding hide and seek" with the Azores was tangled.

This is not because the situation in front of him is beyond his control, but ... so good, even better than he expected!

The Azores who were besieging the imperial capital were gradually gathering towards the riot area according to his expected goal; after they realized that they were only doing useless work, they began to retreat in large steps, concentrating and shrinking the defense line, sweeping the survivors of the riot .

All this is in full compliance with all expectations of Loren Turin, to the point of no difference ... all made him begin to doubt whether the enemy on the opposite is the elf prince.

In the impression, even if he didn't expect it, he would never be so "cooperative"; Loren even thought of at least four possibilities. At worst, he even planned to abandon the original plan and "sneak" to the emperor.

But now ... too much match with his enemies, but made him a little tangled.

If it was just to open the way to the Imperial City, he had succeeded now; if the purpose was to lure the enemy and the siege army to disconnect, and thus fight a vigorous annihilation battle under the Imperial City, the time was ripe.

This kind of "satisfied" battle is really the first time that a dark-haired wizard has met. Generally speaking, this kind of situation looks very good, generally ...

"Trap ... is it possible?"

Luisen worried.

Loren hesitated for a second and shook his head: "If he is planning to set a trap, he should have started a few days ago-or why not just continue chasing, and when we think we are free from chasing, take the opportunity to surround us ? "

"Maybe it's because they know that there is Lord Lord Byrne in this team." Little Yoder shrugged and couldn't help saying: "But anyone with a normal brain shouldn't want to be an enemy of Lord Duke?"

"Maybe their purpose is to let you go and enter the imperial city calmly; then you will turn from secret to bright, and the elves and big figures no longer need to worry."

"It is indeed possible." Loren did not deny:

"If this is the case, then the right to choose is in our hands--whether to take the opportunity to go to the Imperial Capital, or to find a way to fight an annihilation battle with the cooperation of the Legion in the Imperial City?"

Looking around at Lucien, Weber, and Little Jord, the dark-haired wizard suggested: "This matter is very important, so I decided to raise your hands fairly and vote."

Almost at the moment when the voice fell, Little Yode rolled his eyes.

"I don't understand war, but if you are not just trying to take advantage of those survivors, then we must take the initiative to face the battle!" Webb the young priest raised his head, his steadfast gaze greeted Loren:

"Now the name of the Black Duke has spread all over West Sackland, and all the survivors who bravely rebelled are singing" The Black Duke is back "-so respond to their cry and let them see hope, Loren!"

The dark-haired wizard nodded slightly, his eyes turned to the other two.

"No matter what decision you make, Lucien is at your fingertips." The gray pupil resolutely said, the blazing fire in the silver-gray pupil:

"If you want to wield a sharp blade, please order it, Lord Loren!"

The dark-haired wizard nodded.

"Although knowing this kind of question is pure nonsense, I still insist on asking ..."

Little Yode's expression of frustration is extremely extreme: "If I express objection, is it useful?"

"This is a discussion. Of course you can object. I respect everyone's opinions and of course include you."

"Well, then I object." Little Yode said without hesitation.

Loren nodded again, his expression very calm: "Very well, it seems that we have reached a consensus-since everyone agrees, then let's take the initiative to face the battle, the next is the key combat plan ..."

Rolling his eyes, Little Yoder had a "I knew it" expression.

"First of all, it is the strength comparison between us and the enemy." The dark-haired wizard said in a deep voice: "Yes, our plan has been very successful so far, but because of this, the enemy we are facing is also very powerful. . "

"If the information is correct, they have concentrated at least 20,000 to 30,000 troops. With more than a thousand Bain knights, we still have a chance of victory, but it is very different to defeat the enemy, defeat or even annihilate the enemy."

Shen Sheng's dark-haired wizard had a detailed map in his mind.

"The blockades on the west and south of the Azores retreat in large strides, and the army begins to draw closer to the army that is surrounding and siege-this must be a team that stretches for miles, and may even carry a large number of prisoners Yield. "

"In order to shrink troops from various positions, the main march route must be along Empire Avenue, but large and small teams will fill up all the trails and normal roads, just like streams flowing into big rivers."

"So we have to cut off, block or rearrange this huge team in a more critical position, forcing the Azore elves to turn around and start fighting against us, or even rush to us desperately."

Speaking of which, Loren simply opened the map directly and pulled out the bright silver sword nailed to the location of the south gate of the royal capital of Golovin.

"Rodria Azore's siege camp is south of the imperial capital, where the Gems River was supposed to be his logistics base; and the enemy will shrink closer to the blockade and will surely move closer to the south."

"What we have to do is to stop the retreating army before they have the chance to get close to the siege army, and then wait for the reaction from the direction of the imperial capital."

"Wait for the imperial capital's reaction ... what next?"

"The next step is to adapt at random." The black-haired wizard looked at Little Yodd. "This is only a rough plan. Is there anything to ask?"

"Yes, but I think it's just a bunch of nonsense even if I ask." Little Yode didn't have a good air: "But I still want to say, how do you make sure that the enemy will follow your ideas?"

"They don't need to follow my ideas, they just need to continue according to their own ideas." Loren shook his head: "Of course, there will be certain risks, but ..."

"But for the empire, for the survivors who believe in the empire, and for those who bravely stand up against us because of us, any risk is worth it!" Weber solemnly said:

"If you can win in one battle, annihilating this enemy army outside the city will definitely hit the Azores besieging the imperial capital; the safety of the imperial capital will be alleviated, and the desperate Empire will see the hope of victory. Very important!"

"It's no matter how important it is to us-of course, especially the life of Duke Byrne is important!"

The coldly snorted little Yoder looked disdainfully and looked at the dark-haired wizard's gaze, finally struggling to die: "Master Loren, I know what you plan to do."

"But please forgive me, the empire ... or the royal aristocracy did not have any favors for the name" Black Duke ", nor did they have any favors for the Bayerns or any non-imperial Sakran; even if you really win, Do n’t expect to get their approval. "

"It may even be the opposite, because you have won such a glorious victory, they will start to target and even persecute you-if you still want their cooperation, this is definitely not a good choice!"

"Believe me, this is not even possible, this is certain!" Little Yode asserted.

As the words fell, the dark-haired wizard looked quietly at the short-breathing little Yoder. The indifferent appearance seemed to have guessed that he would have said so.

"You are right, if you want to get the assistance and recognition of the imperial nobles, this is actually the worst option." After a pause, Loren remarked:

"But ... who said they would get their approval?"

"Huh? But you don't want to ..."

"To gain control of the Imperial City Defense ... Yes, but it is not according to their meaning, nor under their acquiescence or control." Loren's mouth gradually sneered:

"I want to make them afraid ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ fear, and then I know who I should breathe to thank; after all, I do n’t really care about fighting a civil war in the Imperial City when there are Azores outside the Imperial City of."

"As for Brandon ... well, I guess he might be happy. After all, this kind of" dirty work "is always bad for his reputation. It is more appropriate for me to do it."

Looking at the cold face of the dark-haired wizard, little Yode could not help but shudder.

It ’s really ... Is it because it ’s been a long time since I forgot about myself, the Lord Duke Byrne in front of me, but never a "good-hearted" person!

Little Yoder seriously doubted that Loren's purpose in finding him was not to ease the relationship with the imperial aristocracy, but because the identity of the leader of his chamber of commerce could help him to better threat of blackmail, and let some guys shut up.

"Send the demon hunter, notify Ramallos and Regrel, and let them lead the troops to stand by at the designated place after completing the mission." Loren looked to Lusien aside:

"The layout is complete, it's time to close the network." ()
