The so-called "meeting" is to determine who will direct this combat operation and the number of legions dispatched by all parties.
It stands to reason that it was Curia who initiated the initiative, and Curia should be the commander. In addition, Kuria is the heir of Kutum, and other warlords have already recognized his inheritance rights, and the soldiers who were originally affiliated with Kutum are the warlords who originally belonged to Kutum. It is reasonable to say that Kuria is the commander. It is a pity that after the seven top warlords intervened and Lombardo personally came forward to act as a middleman, it was obviously impossible for Curia to command this combat operation. As for the other warlords, they were even less qualified to make irresponsible remarks with Lombardo. Only on the issue of sending troops, Lombardo's attitude is also very clear. The area that was invaded was under Kutum’s jurisdiction. Even if Kutum was dead, Kutum’s men should send troops to destroy the enemy. As for the other top warlords, at best they only provide assistance and support.
After the meeting began, Lombardo made it clear that he was willing to provide the fleet to support Curia and other warlords to send troops to annihilate the invading enemies, but would not send legions to participate in the battle, and the warlords such as Curia would dispatch legions. In addition, Lombardo also made assurances on behalf of all the top warlords that the top warlords including him will never launch an offensive action against Kuria and other warlords before destroying the invading enemies.
In fact, the key is not to send troops, nor who will command them.
To put it bluntly, it was Kutum's jurisdiction that was invaded. Even if Lombardo and other top warlords did not come forward, Kuria, who originally belonged to Kutum, would send troops to regain lost ground. Lombard Dorken offered to move the fleet to provide support and assistance, which is already very good. As for who will direct the battle, it is actually not a big problem, because no matter who it is, the warlords who send troops to fight are still separate. The reason is that before the succession rights are settled, no warlord will hand over the legion in his hand. Even if an agreement is reached, a joint operation is decided, and a commander is selected, these warlords will have reservations and will never let others command their own army because of this.
What these warlords care about is actually the right of inheritance.
It can be said that this is also the fundamental reason why they are willing to come here and sit with Curia and Lombardo.
When launching the initiative, Kuriya clearly mentioned that this war determines the right of inheritance, that is, the warlord who has made the most contributions in the war is eligible to inherit the mantle of Kutum. It was exactly the same that those warlords responded to the initiative and came here to discuss with Kuria about sending troops to fight. However, before discussing business matters, these warlords clearly stated that the issue of inheritance rights must be determined.
In fact, the problem lies here.
If we send troops together and fight together, how can we determine who has made the greater contribution? When the time comes, it will be a word from the commander. Even if the commander is not Curia, but Lombardo, not all warlords believe that Lombardo can uphold justice. Besides, even if Lombardo upholds justice, it is difficult to clarify the contribution made by each warlord, and thus it is impossible to determine inheritance rights.
After the meeting began, this issue became the main topic.
After all the warlords expressed their position, Lombardo proposed a solution, that is, the warlords who are willing to send troops to participate in the war will take turns to attack. Whoever lays down the ruins of the fortress occupied by the enemy and destroys all the invading enemies will inherit. Kutum's mantle.
This is indeed an effective solution, but a new problem also arises from this, namely the order of dispatching troops.
Because all the warlords already knew that only the vanguard of the human expeditionary army had arrived, with a total of more than 10,000 people, and the occupation was a ruin, there was no fleet support, and no fortress to defend, so in the view of these warlords , Destroying this human legion is not a problem at all. Perhaps the first warlord to send troops will return triumphantly, and it will not give other warlords a chance to send troops at all.
Obviously, no warlord is willing to miss this opportunity.
In the end, it was still Lombardo who proposed the solution, which was to determine the order of troops by drawing lots.
Because there was no better solution, and the dispatch of troops had to be determined, all the warlords including Curia accepted Lombardo's proposal.
The result of the lottery was not much suspense. Curia did not get the lottery, but it was not terrible. He ranked third. In addition, the two warlords in front of him are not powerful. In the words of Curia, even if these two warlords send out all the legions in their hands, or even joint operations, they may not be able to win. Besides, Yang Yi obviously will not give the inheritance rights to these two guys.
Although Lombardo enthusiasm for staying, asked Curia to wait for the warlord to stay to participate in the banquet held by him personally, but none of the warlords felt it necessary.
After deciding on the last issue, which is the time for the dispatch of troops, the meeting came to an end.
Back on Kuria's battleship, Yang Yi and other talents took off their "helmets."
"What should we do now?"
"Maybe, there is no need to deal with those guys anymore."
Kuria was taken aback for a moment, and looked at Yang Yi without understanding.
"Although the vanguard has only more than 10,000 officers and soldiers, they are all war soldiers, and the two warlords before you are not good. We are confident enough to hold the fortress. When it is your turn to attack, we Give up the fortress and withdraw the Greenwich Meteor Belt, and you will be able to get the right of inheritance.” Yang Yi paused for a while, and said, “No one will be able to make irresponsible remarks to you at that time. The credit cannot be erased. When you take the position of the top warlord, we will enter the Northern Alpha Galaxy. Even if you need to face an opponent like Lombardo, with your assistance, it is a sure chance to win."
"It's not that simple."
"Yes?"
Curia nodded slightly and said: "Grace and Jordan, that is, the two warlords and Lombardo are very close. Although there is no conclusive evidence, there are enough reasons to believe that they have taken refuge in Long. Bardo, at least it has become some kind of agreement with Lombardo. Otherwise, they would not draw first and second. Although their strength is not very good, they are supported by Lombardo, and they must not be underestimated. In order to ensure that one of them gets the right to inherit, Lombardo may even take the action himself. Even if he is not suspected by other top warlords, Lombardo will not do it himself, and will send out a fleet to help them lay the fortress."
Yang Yi frowned, thinking carefully about Curia's words.
"In fact, as long as Lombard is willing to contribute, you will definitely not be able to defend the fortress. Without the fortress, the vanguard of the Human Expeditionary Force can only withdraw to the Greenwich Meteor Belt. At that time, even if the vanguard of the Human Expeditionary Force is not eliminated, they will Become Kutum’s heir."
"You are right, one fleet is enough."
When Yang Yi said so, Curia fell silent.
"Of course, the situation is not as bad as you said." Yang Yi smiled reluctantly and said, "Even if those two guys have already taken refuge in Lombardo, only one can inherit Kutum's mantle and become a new top-tier warrior. Wang. Obviously, they don't want to be each other. More importantly, Lombardo supports them, obviously not to make them the new top warlord, but to use them against you."
"You mean..."
"Lombardo is both supporting them and using them. Now that the situation has changed, Lombardo will definitely make the most of this opportunity."
"How to use it?"
"Choose between the two of them, and the one selected, even if one day in the future becomes the new top champion, he will listen to Lombardo's instructions. Simply put, Lombardo will use this opportunity Support a top warlord who is absolutely obedient to him."
"This… "
"Of course, I don't know what Lombardo will do. Only one thing is certain, only one of them will survive the end of the battle."
Curia nodded slightly, indicating that he understood what Yang Yi meant.
"Obviously, this is also our opportunity, at least we can kill a potential competitor. If we can find the opportunity, maybe there will be even greater gains."
"what chance?"
"It's very simple. Lombardo will never let you lead the Silicon Magic Army to launch an offensive. You must win the first two offensives. If we can defend the fortress and kill the two leading warlords, what about Lombardo? Cope? Of course, he would never let this happen. It's a pity that those two guys are useless, at least to me. In this way, if Lombardo wants to master the overall situation, he has to go out himself, and he has to Face us directly." Yang Yi smiled faintly, and said, "No matter how powerful Lombardo is, it will not be much better than Kutum, at most it is just as good as Kutum. Maybe we can take this opportunity to eradicate a top class. King of War."
"Kill Lombardo?"
Yang Yi nodded, indicating that it was what he meant.
Kuria looked at Yang Yi in surprise, and after a while he said: "He is not Kutum, not as arrogant as Kutum. Even if he goes out in person, he may not fight against you, and he is more likely to be dispatched. The fleet directly destroys the fortress and annihilates the human officers and soldiers in the fortress."
"The premise is that he gave up those two warlords."
Kuria was taken aback for a moment, and looked at Yang Yi without understanding.
"Don't forget, whoever destroys the invading enemy will inherit Kutum's mantle. If Lombardo's fleet wins the final victory, will Lombardo inherit Kutum's mantle? Obviously, don't talk about you. These warlords will not agree, and other top warlords will not agree. If Lombardo really wants to do this, he will become a target. In my opinion of him, he is not as stupid as this."
"This… "
Yang Yi smiled faintly, without further explanation.
Curia also understood that in the millions of miles of history of the Silicon Magic Alliance, there has not been a top warlord with two titles at the same time. Not to mention that there is a warlord above the top warlord, even if it does not, the top warlords such as Dibabu will not watch Lombardo sit up. Obviously, no matter how powerful Lombardo is, he will not fight against the six top warlords, and will not directly intervene in this battle to determine Kutum's succession.
