"Colin, will it be useful for you to send that Cathy to the military camp in the East?"
In the palace, Queen Aisha raised her head from a pile of government documents, stretched her waist, and showed Miaoman's curves unreservedly in front of Colin.
"Why is it useless?" Colin smiled, admiring the half-elf beauty in front of him unceremoniously.
Queen Elsa poured a glass of stag blood wine for Colin herself, and poured another glass for herself, wondering: "We just used Prince William to deceive the other party once, will they be fooled again?"
Colin drank the stag blood wine and asked, "Do you know how hunters in the northern region hunt direwolves?"
Queen Aisha shook her head. Although she didn't understand why Colin suddenly changed the subject, she still looked at Colin with bright eyes and motioned him to continue.
"The direwolf, especially the white wolf, is a formidable prey.
Their combat power is extremely strong, and most hunters would not choose to fight head-to-head with them, because the icefield white wolf's counterattack will make the hunter pay a heavy price, so the best way is to use traps.
However, the white wolves of the ice field are very smart. When they encounter the corpse of a small animal that is obviously wrong in the forest, they will not touch it at all, because they also understand that it is most likely a bait set by a hunter.
Sophisticated hunters respond to this by chasing after the icefield white wolf and harassing it constantly, not giving it a chance to fight to the death, but at the same time, not letting it hunt with peace of mind.
After a long time, the icefield white wolf will be tortured by exhaustion and hunger. At this time, it will not be able to bear it when it encounters the corpse of a small animal that may be bait.
Even if the front is very likely to be a hunter's trap, it will be lucky, thinking that if it swallows the bait, it may still have the power to fight back. "
Queen Elsa nodded thoughtfully: "So, Cathy is the bait you throw out. Even though it is easy for Marquis Vincent to see through, you still think he will not be able to resist the temptation."
"Yes. The current eastern border army is a white wolf that is extremely exhausted and in a dilemma. If you throw it a bait at this time, even if it knows it may be a trap, it will not be able to resist biting it."
"Indeed." Queen Aisha's eyes are bright, her straight and beautiful nose bridge and slightly tight red lips give her a demure and intelligent temperament, "but why do I feel that your strategy seems a little impatient?"
Colin sighed, nodded and said: "Yes, that's true. In fact, our best way is to continue to spend with the people in the East. There is enough food in Silvermoon City, but the people in the East have been blocked by the black cavalry. Cut off, they can't get supplies.
As long as this stalemate persists for another two or three months, the people of the East will really be caught in a dilemma.
Throwing out the bait now may usher in a violent counterattack from the East. "
"Then why do you still..."
Colin motioned Queen Elsa to pour himself another glass of wine, frowning and said, "I'm worried about the northern border."
"North?"
"Yes. I haven't received a letter from Ice Rock City for a long time. I suspect that the Eastern Territory army outside the city blocked the news."
"Why are you worried about the North?"
"Because I gradually realized that the judgment on the two things may have been somewhat biased."
"Which two pieces?"
Colin drank another glass of stag blood wine, pondered: "The first thing is the main messenger behind Sith Savoy.
At first I thought it was the Duke of St. Hilde who ordered him to kill Vera, but now I feel that the truth of the matter may not be the case.
Sith was actually introduced to me by Prince Okamoto, which shows that the Savoy family has connections with trolls.
So, is it possible that the assassination of Vera was actually instigated by the troll behind the scenes, in order to completely trigger the conflict between the northern border and the eastern border, so that they can get a chance to breathe.
And the second thing is that the Black Cavalry was ambushed in the Shadow Canyon.
The incident appeared to be an attempt by the Duke of St. Hilde to clear the interior of the North of instability.
But if you think about it carefully, there are also problems. How can the Duke of St. Hilde get the people of the East to cooperate with him in getting rid of his brother? Don't people in the Eastland worry that this is a trap set by the St. Hilde brothers deliberately acting? "
"So, do you suspect that this series of incidents is a conspiracy by trolls?"
"It is indeed possible. But I also doubt that the trolls are really capable of completing such a grand layout? When did they have such a huge influence in the Glorious Empire? Can they mobilize so many forces to serve their plans?"
"Maybe the troll has other collaborators in the Glory Empire."
"Yes. It is also possible that the Duke of St. Hilde is also involved. Although he is not the mastermind behind the scenes, he may also be a cooperator. After all, these two things are obviously beneficial to him."
"Then what are your worries?"
"I'm worried that the Duke of St. Hilde will accidentally set himself on fire and plunge the already weak Northern Territory into chaos again... Therefore, I can't spend this much time with the people of the Eastern Territory. I want to end this battle as soon as possible!"
—————
The army camp in the east.
Cathy felt apprehensive in the face of Marquis Vincent's scrutiny.
After a while, she gritted her teeth and said truthfully, "Yes, my lord, I was indeed sent by Viscount Angelet."
Marquis Vincent smiled triumphantly and praised his wit, then he leaned back in his chair leisurely and asked, "Then why did he send you here?"
"He asked me to tell you that there will be a rebellion at the south gate of Silvermoon City tonight, and the boulder blocking the gate will be removed, so your army can take this opportunity to rush into the city..."
"Hehe, when my army rushes in, you will find that the city has instead deployed heavy troops, waiting in full battle. Then my army is stuck at the south gate, and the black cavalry army outside the city can just attack from behind and attack from both sides. Right?"
"Yes." Cathy lowered her head, as if she was afraid to meet Marquis Vincent's eyes.
"Clumsy scheme, hehe, do you really think I will be fooled..."
Marquis Vincent suddenly stopped. He seemed to have realized something. He suddenly stood up from his seat and walked quickly back and forth in the tent.
Cassie raised her head cautiously, and saw Marquis Vincent's face full of struggle.
After a long time, he suddenly stopped and asked again: "Do you know the specific deployment of the half-elf army in the southern city?"
Cathy shook her head in embarrassment: "My lord, this...how could I know..."
Marquis Vincent fell into deep thought again, the anxiety on his face seemed to overflow.
He has already realized that the current situation may be an opportunity for the Pegasus Legion to make a comeback. The open south city gate is a bait that Colin put in front of him.
Although he knew that there was a trap behind the bait, Marquis Vincent couldn't help but want to give it a go...
At this time, he is like a gambler who is eager to lose. As long as the dealer shows him any chance of winning, he will eagerly put all his net worth.
Attempt to turn around.
Finally, Marquis Vincent punched his palm heavily, and said harshly:
"Okay! Colin Angelet, let us see whether you trap the Pegasus Legion to death, or the Pegasus Legion eats your bait and tears your net!"
