pat.
A drop of cold sweat on Xia Ya's forehead fell on the booklet in his hand!
At this moment, Xia Ya has a strange feeling. She only thinks that among the people she has met in her life, especially among women, I am afraid that there will never be a woman who can bring her to her like the wife of the Governor of the Besta Military Region in front of her. Here comes such a strong sense of danger! This woman is terrifying, even far above Merlin!
If Merlin's strong personal strength makes people feel that she is scary in an arrogant and unreasonable way... Then, the Governor's wife in front of her has a more inscrutable feeling than Merlin.
Since I saw this woman today, whether the two of them are talking or scheming, there is no doubt that the turtle is at a disadvantage! Even when his own mind moved secretly, the other party seemed to be able to see through what he was thinking at a glance! Such a scheming woman—no, it’s not just a woman, such a scheming person, Xia’s life only ever felt at a loss when he was in front of the legendary dead Caviezel!
The booklet in my hand—although it is only a thin booklet, the people recorded on each page are all famous people on the mainland!
Among them, there is the governor of the tyrannical military region who holds a heavy army and dominates the party, the famous imperial general who is famous in the mainland, and even Xiaya vaguely saw the head of General Adric in the page he hastily turned just now!
I am afraid that there are dozens of people recorded in this booklet - each of them is a man of the mainland. How much effort does it take to get so much information? How much human and material resources are invested? How much elaborate secret planning? How large an intelligence network do you have to have? Even... to get so much valuable information, such a thin booklet, I'm afraid I don't know how many people have exchanged their hard work and even their lives!
This woman... The governor's wife of the Besta Military Region, even though she is a well-known governor's wife on the mainland, even though she has brought the management of the Besta Military Region to the fore, even though she is a woman with outstanding ability in the eyes of everyone. exists in... Even if the Besta Military Region is also a backbone of the Red Roundtable Alliance...
But…
She spends such a huge investment to collect information on so many important people, what is her intention? What is the purpose? Why did you prepare it? !
Xia Ya originally wanted to continue to look at a few more pages, but the Governor's wife who was sitting opposite looked at herself with a smile, but there was an obvious warning in her eyes - Xia Ya understood, she Will not allow myself to continue to turn down. Deliberately showing myself this book is just a deterrent.
Xia Ya took a deep breath and closed the booklet. At this time, his eyes glanced at it, but he saw a few words on the cover of the booklet, on the lower left foot, and lightly marked a few words with a charcoal pen.
"Byzantine"
As soon as he saw these words, Xi Ya's eyes shrank again! But this time, he lowered his head very carefully, not letting the woman on the opposite side see the change in his eyes.
Byzantium
Byzantium! !
What does it mean
Char Ya was more and more surprised: If this booklet was marked for the purpose of classifying it... Then it means that this woman probably has more information on such a booklet in her hands! Since there is Byzantine, I am afraid that there may be Odin! Landis side! Or even... about the legendary city of Babylon? !
It's just a military region, but it has made such a far-reaching and important layout, and collected so much intelligence data... How big a plan does this woman have in her heart? !
Just a little guess at it, it will be shocking!
He pretended to be relaxed and handed the booklet back to the governor's wife. The woman pursed her lips and smiled. She didn't seem to care about Xia Ya's expression. Inside, the casual behavior and expression, as if what she was holding in her hand was not a book of information exchanged with countless people's lives and hard work, but a collection of poems worth only a few coins.
"You seem surprised?"
The Governor's wife looked at Xiaya with a smile.
Xia Ya reluctantly twitched the corner of his mouth: "Shouldn't I be surprised? Anyone who sees this kind of thing will be surprised."
"Haha." The Governor's wife smiled sweetly: "You must be thinking, as a woman like me, it is my duty to manage the Besta Military Region with my heart, but what I do to collect so much information, is it because I have a heart in this world..."
Xia Ya immediately shook his head, and he also laughed out loud: "That's your business, why do I think so much? Maybe you like to collect this kind of thing, maybe you have this kind of hobby - I heard that women are very gossipy. "
The Governor's wife didn't seem to care about Xia Ya's somewhat mocking remarks. She looked out the car window and said in a nonchalant manner, "Marshal Xia Ya, I heard that you were seriously injured when you went out recently. It's a pity that he was originally a world-famous general, but he has lost his strength as much as he is now. Originally, I once thought that I would dare to face Odin alone on the battlefield, Hasting, and also wound the opponent. What kind of charisma will you be, and I heard that you just joined the army and first entered the battle, and you killed a prince of Odin. This credit alone is enough to stay in the history of the empire in the past ten years. The next one. At the age of only 20 years old, you have risen like a comet in just two years. Your strength is outstanding, and you have gathered a group of talents, and the remnants of the Roderian cavalry are the backbone. Now you are in The north has more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, occupying half of the county's land. Such strength is enough to be promoted to the current tyrants of the empire. What's more, I heard that you have also been appointed by the royal family and the empire. Commanding all the counties in the northern part of the empire... With such a great authority, as long as you are given a year or two to calmly clean up the situation, your future achievements will be limitless!"
"Are you complimenting me?" Xia Ya coldly interrupted the other party.
"...That's right." The Governor's wife thought for a while and smiled softly: "I heard that you are going to hold a wedding recently, and that bride seems to be the cousin of Emperor Garcia, the son of a deceased prince of the Odin Empire. Female. She is the bloodline of the royal family of both countries... After I got your information, I have looked through the history of the empire for nearly two hundred years. It seems that after your debut, you have been smooth sailing, with many adventures, and you are lucky. … For two hundred years, there has never been one!"
Xia Ya laughed dryly.
"No, it's not just two hundred years... I have looked at the history of the entire empire, and the empire has been established for a thousand years, and there has never been a strange character like you. In less than two years, you have become a tyrant with a commoner, Your Excellency Xia Ya. , may I ask, how should I treat you?"
"Do you think I'm lucky?" Xia Ya couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"certainly."
Xia opened his mouth - any luck? I still feel like I'm an unlucky ghost! Always run into some big trouble...
"Whether you are lucky or not, it depends on what you have encountered. It seems that every time you encounter something, you are always one of the last beneficiaries! Thinking about it carefully, after you joined the army, the first time it was During the battle, I heard that your vanguard cavalry was ambushed and suffered heavy damage, but you killed a prince Odin in the chaos! Later in the battle of the Albact Plain, you stayed behind because of your wounds! It was you who commanded the defensive battle against the raid of the Hastings Black Flag Army. You commanded the defense and held on until the time when the army was withdrawing. There are also hundreds of cavalry rushing into the formation, examples of rescuing friendly troops, and on the battlefield. The great deed against Hastings alone. Although it was crushed by the high-level after the event... I have to say, that time, you were doomed! You offended that fellow Bonfret, and your credit was also falsely claimed. Under such circumstances, you would have no chance of turning over! Even if you are not sent to a military court, you will be exiled to the frontier. But, your luck is against the sky! Hastings actually entered the country alone. Hundreds of miles, sneaked into the garrison and publicly assassinated Bonfret! Once Bonfret died, the biggest stone on your body was removed! You were rehabilitated, and the credit rested on your head again. After that, he entered the imperial capital all the way to get the seal, but he suddenly got the appreciation of Emperor Cantos... Hmph, in that hunting meeting, the emperor swore drunkenly in front of many dignitaries, which has become a famous story in the empire! Your fame has been improved again... Take a closer look at all your experiences, one thing after another, even if the process is repeated, but in the end, you are always the one who gets the most benefit, even me I couldn't help but have a ridiculous thought: Could it be that you have really been blessed by the gods?"
The wheels are rolling, and Xiaya can't help but feel an absurd feeling in his heart as he listens to the sound of horses' hooves.
It seems... uh... what this woman said seems to really make sense.
Even though the process was difficult, everything I encountered seemed to benefit me in the end.
But this thought just flashed in his mind, and Xia Ya immediately looked at the governor's wife: "Okay, let me explain what you mean directly, I have fallen into your hands, are you going to kill or cut? Or leave me to the Odins? Hmph, have you and the Odins re-compromised? Even Gaia, your own ally, can be killed, let alone me? Manninger hates me now for fear of hate Itchy teeth, send my head to Manninger, maybe it will be of great benefit to you!"
The Governor's wife smiled slightly, and then the woman suddenly sighed: "If I had caught you two days ago, I would have really made this decision: kill you and send your head to Manninger's table, or escort you, a big living person, to Manninger, and let him dispose of his anger. But now... Mr. Char, just like what I said just now, your Luck saved you again! It's just two short days, um... just two days away."
"Oh?"
Xia Ya didn't understand and looked at the woman suspiciously.
"Two days ago, I would definitely kill you, but now, don't worry, Mr. Xia Ya, your head will continue to grow on your neck, at least with me, you will not be in any danger."
"why?"
Xia Ya couldn't help but ask.
"Are you my enemy?"
Xia shook his head: "It's not true, but I'm from the Empire, and I'm Manninger's enemy, and you are the secret allies of the Odins..."
"Not anymore. Or, at least, Besta Military District, not anymore!"
The Governor's wife looked at Xia Ya with an understatement, but what she said caused a frenzy in Xia Ya's heart!
"I got the news two days ago that in the south, in Catania, the fourth largest trading port of the empire, a Landis fleet has arrived, and the Landis army of more than 30,000 has landed, and will immediately send Catania to the city. Nia control, there will be the landing point of the Landis follow-up army, and the Royal First Fleet of the Landis Kingdom, and even the legendary 'Freelander' has been dispatched to the Inner Sea of the Byzantine Empire. Come on. Your Excellency Char, you should understand what I mean, right? The Landis Kingdom has already participated in the war, and it has joined the war as an ally of the Byzantine royal family!"
Hearing the dignified tone of the governor's wife, Xia Ya was shocked for a while, and he was stunned: "I... I don't understand, the Lantis people participated in the war, shouldn't you be more united with the Odin people? You should be more with Manninger. It's just that they keep a close relationship..."
"Hahahahaha..." The Governor's wife laughed, and in her crisp and sweet laughter, there was a bit of mockery and disdain: "To form an alliance with the Odins... Such a decision, only those idiots in El Salvador would think so. Bar!"
Seeing Xia Ya's somewhat dazed expression, a trace of disappointment flashed across the governor's wife's face, and she sighed softly: "Alas, it seems that you are not as smart as I expected... Hmph, I overestimate your wisdom."
Xia Ya blushed, and then said with a straight face; "What do you want to say, just say it!"
The governor's wife said lightly: "After the war began, the governors of all military regions sent troops to participate in the war, and the coalition troops gathered under the city of Osgilia. However, as a staunch supporter of El Salvador, I, the Besta military region, did not send a single soldier. Just sent a batch of food, grass and ordnance supplies."
"Huh?" A strange light flashed in Xia Ya's eyes.
"Before this war started, I once wrote to El Salvador and told him that the most urgent thing to do now is not to gather a heavy army to attack Osgilia immediately, but to do so at all costs as soon as possible. Get in touch with the Landis! It's a pity that El Salvador has been smart all his life, but he is confused at this time! The connection with the Landis has never been taken seriously by them... Hmph, the first step was already wrong!
After the war began, the Odins went south, and I was strongly against it! Perhaps the alliance believes that the southward movement of the Odins can help the alliance to deal with the several regiments of the imperial family in the north, but such a move is simply to bring wolves into the house! The alliance has overestimated the combat effectiveness of the imperial royal family's armies in the north, but underestimated the arrogance and ambition of the Odins! The 6th and 7th Corps of the North, we can solve it by ourselves! At most, it just takes more time and energy. The Sixth Corps suffered heavy losses in the last war, and the backbone, Ruhl, has also been transferred to the Rodriguen Corps. The backbone of this Corps has been interrupted, and there is nothing to fear! And the commanding general of the 7th Corps was originally a mediocre person, and it is not difficult to destroy! At that time, I strongly suggested that El Salvador should send 30,000 coalition troops to the north, plus the strength of my Besta military region and the Corsica military region, which is enough to deal with these two armies. But those two idiots, Salvador and Hughes, only have Osgilia in their eyes! The capture of Osgilia became their primary goal. They are unwilling to divide their troops to deal with the central army of the empire in the north, but they would rather bring the Odins into their homes... Such a move, the second step is also wrong!
In the middle of the war, the Rodriguez Corps gave up its station and went on a long-distance march to aid Osgilia. I strongly advocated that El Salvador ordered the governors of the military districts to stop the Rodriguez Corps at all costs! No matter how powerful the Roderian cavalry is, what if the whole body is iron? However, an army of 20,000 people marched to Osgilia for a long distance. If the military regions along the way can really work together, there is absolutely a possibility that the strongest army of the imperial family of the empire will be eaten! It's not important to eat the Rodriguez cavalry, the important thing is to kill the Crown Prince Garcia in the Rodriguez cavalry! As long as the Crown Prince Garcia can be killed, then the royal family of the Byzantine Empire will be in chaos! Osgilia will be shaken in no time! Such a good opportunity, but the governors of various places have the selfishness to preserve their strength, and the guy from El Salvador doesn't seem to care... They foolishly think that relying on hundreds of thousands of coalition forces is enough to conquer Osgilia... These guys, take the third step. wrong! "
Xia Ya's heart moved!
Kill Garcia? !
Indeed, this is indeed a great opportunity! If the military districts at that time could intercept the Rodriguez cavalry at the expense of their strength, no matter how strong the Rodriguez cavalry was, a mere 20,000 people would have to pass through the jurisdictions of several military districts and intercept them, and run to Osgilia... It would be impossible!
Once Crown Prince Garcia is killed or captured, the city of Osgilia will collapse immediately!
This is a very simple truth!
Garcia is the only heir to the imperial throne! Remember, be the "only" heir!
Even if Emperor Cantos wasn't dead at the time, the old emperor was old and seriously ill! If the only heir is gone, it is equivalent to digging out the roots of the imperial family! The old emperor's time is short, and the future crown prince is gone... Then the imperial family of the empire is afraid that 70% of it may collapse!
"The fourth step is wrong, it is to win over the Byzantine Empire's navy! Although the Byzantine Empire's navy is weak and cannot compete with the Landis, it is enough to protect the major ports on our coastline. But El Salvador's navy's To win over, but have been reluctant to pay the cost, and have been wrangling with the other party for so long... A fleet of the Lantis people arrived in Osgilia and completed the sea supply line to Osgilia, not only increasing the attack on Osgilia The difficulty of Sigiriya, more importantly, greatly improved the morale and confidence of the defenders of Osgilia! At that time, if Salvador and others had the decision, they dared to fight the Landis at sea at any cost, even if it was a If you lose, you have to show your tough stance with actions. Even if the Landis are willing to join the war, they will hesitate for a while! The later the Landis joins the war, the better it will be for the Red Roundtable Alliance! But this The simple truth, Salvador and others did not understand! After the supply line was opened by the Lantis people, they were at a loss, fighting and not fighting, and at odds, and even these idiots immediately shelved their relationship with the Byzantine Navy. Contact, I think that the navy of the Landis people has come in anyway, and it is meaningless to win over Byzantine's own navy. A guy can figure it out!"
"The fifth step was wrong, when Manninger suddenly invaded the Corsica Military Region! The war for Manninger's annexation of the Corsica Military Region lasted for a full month. This month's precious time, if you have the will, will be completely This matter can be dealt with in the best possible way! Either give up the Corsican military region immediately and try to please the Odins at all costs! Or break with the Odins immediately and mobilize the army to assist the Corsican military region, so as to avoid foreign affairs. A tough stance to maintain unity within the alliance! But these guys above are so arguing, dragging around, and wasting precious time in vain! At that time, if they could make a decision immediately, whether it was Break with the Odins, or give up the Corsicans to please the Odins immediately, at least make a decision, act immediately, and you can get good results! But now... After such a long time, the Corsican military region After being annexed, the Odins saw the weakness of the alliance, and the military region in the north of the alliance was grumpy.
Speaking of this, the governor's wife sneered: "The five stages were originally promising, but El Salvador and Hughes, who pretended to be outstanding people, faced five big opportunities, and each time they made it out of countless choices. The worst and stupidest decision, the worst result... If only one mistake was made, but five serious mistakes in a row... Hmph, now that Landis' army has landed, it has already knocked the Red Roundtable Alliance. The death knell is ringing!"
As Xia Ya listened, her face became more and more strange. This woman is the governor's wife of the Besta Military Region. As one of the backbones of the rebel alliance, the Besta Military Region is here to attack the rebel leaders such as El Salvador and Hughes so much, even, the meaning of the words seems to be …
He took a deep breath, looked at the Governor's wife, and suddenly said softly, "So... the Besta Military Region you represent is ready to... disembark?"
"Get off the ship?" The Governor's wife immediately narrowed her eyes and looked at Xi Ya, her tone changed, and she smiled slowly: "I said just now that the Besta Military Region did not send troops to attack Osgilia. Oh, we've never been 'on the boat', so how did we get off the boat?"
Xia Ya and the Governor's wife looked at each other, their eyes twinkling, full of cunning.
