"What you said makes sense, but there is one thing I want to remind everyone: "Although the imperial capital is severely damaged, it still has a population of tens of millions, and once war is mobilized, it can form an army of more than five million. , this is a number that is so huge that people can’t sleep. It is impossible for our city of Moon City to face such a terrifying enemy, let alone Victor’s Wrath of the God of Thunder. "
"Who says we have to face it on our own? Can't we integrate the power of the entire south?"
"I want to remind you, Lily, I know you don't have a good impression of the Imperial City, but as a member of the six-person council, please don't bring your personal feelings into it." The gentleman spoke: "This plan of yours simply won't work. , you can’t even think of such a simple point, not to mention the ambitious Senat, even if we, Moon City, take the lead, how to integrate hundreds of cities, large and small, and dozens of lords, the internal friction during this will be a An astonishing amount.”
"I'm sorry, my fault." Lily immediately apologized after being silent for a while, and the others accepted her statement and said nothing more. Silence returned to the entire hall.
After a while, the only one who had not spoken yet, the one with a big-nosed clown embroidered on his chest, spoke: "I propose that we should not always think about which force to rely on, but to use it. Now that the mainland is in chaos, it is necessary to expand its own strength as much as possible. Moon Moon City should be independent like a free paradise. This way, neither the Imperial Capital nor Senat will be offended. We can even send emissaries to the Imperial Capital and Senat at the same time. As a special expression of goodwill, in private, our army immediately set off to the southwest in the form of a mercenary regiment, striving to wipe out our rear area next spring."
"I second the motion." The noble raised his hand first.
"I also agree." Lily also raised her hand.
"Before I express my position, I have several questions." The gentleman said: "First, how to solve the problem of soldiers, and second, how to make the Imperial City and Senat believe in our sincerity. Many things must be expressed publicly. An ambiguous attitude will only make people Things get worse, because forces that cannot be identified as friends are usually the first to be eradicated. Thirdly, and most importantly, the hunter alliance in the southwest, although they are not strong enough, they occupy the Silent Forest and the Hengduan Mountains. Can we do it before the end of the year?"
"It can only last until March next year at most, because once spring starts, farmers will have to farm." The samurai added: "Our population in Mochizuki City is too small to form a large army."
"I know, in fact, it's not that our population in Wangyue City is small, but that there are too many nobles. If too many people enjoy privileges, it will affect the distribution of interests in the entire city." Although the nobles are nicknamed "nobles", they don't speak in a clear tone. Not hiding his dislike for those privileged aristocrats,
"These are not important." The clown spoke: "Personnel is not a problem, because we can use the Adventurer's Guild."
"oh."
"Although the hunter alliances in the south are united, their secret interests are not shared. As long as we offer rewards through the Adventurer's Guild and lure their main force away in various ways, we can achieve the goal with a smaller number of troops. Once we capture those places, we immediately start building fortresses to defend them. Their guerrilla tactics in the jungle are very troublesome, but as long as we occupy lakes and transportation hubs, they will have to attack by force, otherwise their living space will be gradually destroyed. devour."
"This is easy to handle." The warrior said, "I will issue various orders to ask them to issue bounties with astonishing prices, and the origins of these bounties are far away from the Hunter Alliance station. In this way, some people will naturally be tempted by money. Of course, the entire attack plan must be kept secret, otherwise no amount of gold coins will be able to achieve the goal."
"Wait a minute, my second question before, how do we win the trust of the Imperial Capital and Senat."
"I have an idea." The nobleman spoke: "Senat has many children, we can marry him. Lily, how about you pick an outstanding one and marry him as the illegitimate daughter of a certain nobleman. "
"This is a good idea." "No problem." Lily and the gentleman said in unison,
"What should we do in the Imperial City?" the warrior asked: "It would be very difficult to use marriage. It seems that the people in power in the Imperial City have no possibility of marrying. Luke has not renewed his marriage for more than ten years, so it is impossible to leave the position of head wife to him. We, Mr. and Mrs. Orlando, have a very good relationship, so we can’t find a husband for Her Majesty the Queen.”
"It's better to send troops to attack the imperial capital directly." The clown said, "It's better to have some ideas on Faras."
"You'd better not have such thoughts." The noble reminded the clown loudly: "Mayne fought a life-and-death battle with Ryan because of his brother and Faras. You all know the consequences. Moreover, if you do this It’s like offending a powerful magician.”
"That's Ryan."
"No, it's Victor."
As soon as this name was mentioned, the six people present were silent. The only forbidden spell mage on the continent did have a very strong deterrent. Although he lived in seclusion in his magic tower, as long as he did not express his intention to leave clearly for a day, The Imperial Capital, then the enemies of the Imperial Capital would not dare to act rashly. No one would try to provoke him until there is no reliable way to resist the forbidden curse attack.
"I have a way." The scholar spoke: "We don't need to use marriage, because it has been used once for Senat. If the other party knows that the two irreconcilable forces in our team are using marriage, then this kind of marriage will What’s the point?”
"The Imperial City Magic Academy and the Moon City Magic Academy have magic exchange students every year. Now that Faras has come to the Moon City in person, it is enough to show the sincerity of the Imperial City. Then I can personally lead the team to visit the Imperial City Magic Academy and conduct a An exchange match, a magister-level exchange match.”
"This is a good idea, but if this happens..."
"On the surface, this is because we in Moon City are not willing to fail. In fact, since I personally lead the team, only Victor has the qualifications to receive me, and we are all sitting together. There is nothing else we can't discuss in detail. of."
"Second." The gentleman raised his hand and shouted: "The whole plan is flawless. There is no reason not to second it."
"Of course, I also second the proposal." The warrior was the last one to raise his hand, so that the entire plan was approved by everyone.
