Chapter 447 Chapter 472
Julio listened quietly to his subordinates' reports, nodded from time to time, and occasionally expressed his opinion. When he heard that Harris' border had changed, he couldn't help but frowned and pondered for a long time.

Lauren has already finished all the things he ordered half a month ago, and he should be walking with Coppert on the way to the king's capital now. When will the owner of the bookstore leave, or how to deal with that matter? It's beyond his control.

He has already done what he can do, and maybe the rest can only be waited, but two good neighbors are still staring at each other, how can he sleep peacefully?

Fortunately, the city of Gangsas has been severely damaged since the great war when Upton was in office. After this time, there has been no large-scale attack, but they have been sending troops every day. It seems that although they and their neighbors They colluded secretly, but no one was willing to make the first effort. They all wanted the other party to make the first move and reap the benefits for themselves.

These are not the most worrying things. What he still can't let go of is his ally Shengxuan, an army of [-] elite orcs. He has been on the front line for many days, but there has been no movement. It seems that this ally is also plotting against him. , as if calculating him himself.

Julio finally said, "Don't worry about him in the dark canyon, just let them scold him. In short, no one is allowed to send troops without authorization, and those who disobey the order will be executed."

This is the first order, and the generals who sat down said yes again and again, and then he gave the second order after thinking about it for a while, "Send people to recruit soldiers, at least 20 young and middle-aged men will be recruited, age, let's relax Two years old should be enough. Ask all craftsmen to hurry up to manufacture weapons and equipment, all businesses in the Principality, the tax will be increased by one cent, and the Principality will be ordered to prepare for war. But remember not to generate too much public resentment, and if there is any conflict, it will be returned. Appeasement is the first choice."

"As for Harris' troop deployment, ignore it for now, tell the frontline troops to pay close attention to the actions of our allies, and ask General Daru to try to contact Shengxuan. After all, they are old acquaintances, and they should be able to find out some news. As an ally without proper communication, this is obviously not acceptable. In order to show sincerity, you can ask Daru to allocate a batch of grain from neighboring counties, let him send it to Shengxuan as soon as possible, and express my gratitude His condolences and gratitude.”

As soon as Julio's sympathy food was delivered, there was a new change in Shengxuan's side. After listening to the guard's report, he couldn't help but smile slightly, "Send someone to contact our food robbing team and let them shrink to the mountain area." If necessary, we can retreat into the mountains. The army should also assume a posture of shrinking defenses, and retreat five miles to the southwest to make a gap, so as to make Harris look like we are afraid of joining their army. fight and see how they respond."

"Master God Envoy, my subordinates don't understand. Why do we do this? Our grain grabbing team is the best of the best. Even if we attack an enemy county, it's not a problem. Why do we have to retreat into the mountains? And after we retreated Didn’t you expose the flanks of the defenders of the Principality of Julio? The enemy will definitely take the opportunity to attack, and won’t you tear yourself apart with Julio?”

Shengxuan looked at the guard beside him, and couldn't help but smile again, "Your boy has made some progress and learned to analyze the situation, but don't forget that the Principality of Julio has no friendship with us. , I believe that Julio doesn’t treat us sincerely, otherwise why didn’t he ask us to be stationed with his army? This in itself shows that he lacks trust in us, so why should we be ashamed to curry favor with him?”

Then he patted the guard on the shoulder, "Go and deliver the order!" After speaking, he turned and returned to the tent. The puppet core in the tent had already been completed, and old Louis was doing final adjustments, looking at the shiny metal ball With a rhythm like a heartbeat, the magical energy around him was absorbed into it. There was also a trace of pride in his heart. After all, he participated in the most critical refining. Without him, I am afraid that this puppet core would never be so perfect.

But it may take some time to completely refine the new puppet, so its power is still unclear, but from the smile on Old Louis' face all the time, it is not difficult to judge that the new puppet may be stronger than The previous one was hundreds of times stronger.

Now Sackett's fierce soul has been washed away, but his martial arts and tactics have been preserved. At first, Cheng Xuan didn't know much about a puppet using the soul of a warrior, but with the help of old Louis Explain it, and he will understand the beauty of it.

For the soul that drives the puppet, it must be strong enough. Sackett’s fierce soul definitely meets this point. The next thing is the characteristics of the puppet. Old Louis’ puppet not only uses magic, but is more close Fighting, this is incomparable to a magician's soul. Besides, magic is cast through a magic circle, and there is old Louis's soul, so choosing a warrior's soul is much better than a mage's.

Old Louis took the time to glance at Shengxuan who was concentrating on observing, and couldn't help but repeat a question he asked before, "Why are you so interested in golem making, don't you want to make one yourself, although young people are eager to learn Good thing, but don’t forget the old saying, you can’t eat more than you can chew. You are already a master of both magic and martial arts, and magic is the most powerful elemental summoning magic. Your own magic can make any one grow up no better than a monster. Even strong? Why do you still learn this?"

In order to satisfy old Louis' curiosity, Shengxuan finally revealed his secret, "It's not Master Tao, have you ever heard of a wizard?" "Wizard?" Old Louis couldn't help but put down his work, "That should have happened a long time ago Well, why are there still wizards in this world?"

"That's right, there are not only wizards, but also the most powerful soul wizard, and that powerful soul wizard is my friend, so I plan to refine a golem as a gift for her." Sheng Xuan said here There was a look of happiness on his face.

What a thief old Louis was, he immediately understood the deep meaning, and couldn't help saying with a sly smile, "I'm afraid you still have a relationship with that soul witch, no wonder you work so hard."

For Cai'er, the attack is not the strongest, but it is definitely the most terrifying. With the Soul Gu Ling'er and the gossamer blade in her hand, few people may be able to resist it, but in terms of defense, she has nothing Skills, wearing bulky armor can only limit her attack, but the loss outweighs the gain, so a tyrannical puppet is the best helper for her defense.

Ever since he learned from the Huo Deheke brothers that the strange blade in his hand is the refined shell of a monster, which is the best material for refining golem puppets, he began to think about making golem puppets for Cai'er, but he never encountered it. As for the puppeteer, perhaps the appearance of old Louis is the arrangement of the heavens, allowing him to learn the most unusual puppet making method in the world.

Three days later, Grand Duke Charlotte roared angrily in the mansion, "Damn that bastard in Gonzas City, who took so many benefits from us and still refuses to send troops, does he think he sent some useless stupid pigs out to spit out some money?" Is spittle enough? Then why should I give him any favors? I might as well find a few pigs!"

"And that idiot Harris, obviously Julio's line of defense opened up in front of him, why is he still moving?" But his words obviously did not have much convincing force, because some of his generals immediately raised objections , "Grand Duke, a few days ago, Grand Duke Harris sent a letter asking our army to move closer to them, and then attack Julio together, didn't you ask you to refuse?"

One sentence leaked the secret and completely angered Charlotte. He walked up a few steps and slapped the general on the face, causing him to stumble, the helmet fell to the ground, and his face was swollen. Blood dripped from the corner of his mouth, "Fart, that stupid pig thinks that only his side has enemy defenses, but mine doesn't? Let me move closer to him, why doesn't he move closer to us? Could it be that he wants us to lose Don't care about leaving home, go to benefit him?"

At the same time, in another Grand Duke's mansion, Harris also lost his temper, cursing at his subordinates, "Damn Charlotte, you usually call me a brother and brother, but at a critical moment, you're cheating on me, fart. He Why don't you move closer to me? The opponent is making an opening on the surface, but he is actually waiting for me with his fists. If he doesn't move closer to clamp one side, how can I send troops? Doesn't this make me look at the wolf's mouth to send meat? I think he clearly doesn't want to send troops, he is trying to get me and Julio to fight hard, and he is taking advantage of the abacus behind! Now it is my territory that is being robbed, not him. There are large troops blocking the front, and small groups of harassment later. I have already put aside the thieves who sneaked in at home, so why doesn’t he join forces with me? No one will feel bad if the knife does not cut his own flesh, right! "

"Go and tell the army to shrink! Prepare to return in batches. I mistrusted the damned Charlotte. Even if the Principality of Julio can't be wiped out this time, I must wipe out those damned shameless robbers who are wandering around." Clean up! Not one left! Kill them all!" Harris became more and more angry as he spoke, the cups and plates in his hand had already flown out, and now the tables and chairs suffered.

Just when Harris was furious, a personal guard suddenly announced, "Report to the Grand Duke, there is a letter from the Grand Duke Charlotte!" A pot of water was gurgling.

"But, the top secret written on it, my subordinate,,,," "You can read it as you please, so there is so much nonsense!" Seeing this scene, the personal guard could only bite the bullet and opened the envelope to read. But just now he didn't dare to speak out again.

"Crack!" With a crisp sound, the kettle in Harris' hand was slammed against the wall, and the water splashed with debris flew rapidly in the air, and then drew straight lines and splashed down, while the wall was like blooming flowers. A water-colored petal, slowly the petals begin to deform, and finally pull into a cloudy smudge.

And Harris's mood was like that splash, bursting out and distorting in anger, "That brazen Charlotte, dare to say such a thing at this time, you go tell him, tell him in person, if you don't listen this time In my opinion, let his army join forces with me, and I will not recognize him as a friend!"

The generals under his command couldn't help showing complicated expressions on their faces, and finally someone couldn't help but stepped forward to persuade him, "Wait a minute, Grand Duke, have you ever thought that this might be an excellent opportunity for us to deal with the Principality of Julio? Although Calais People didn't have any substantial attack, but after all, they restrained most of their troops. Although there are still some garrisons in front of us, it is not impossible to win with our strength, but once the opponent is relieved, I am afraid that we will There will never be another chance."

Harris is not a reckless man who can only lose his temper. The reason why he just got angry just now is because of another reason. Now that he heard his subordinates bring it up, he couldn't help but growl angrily, "You know what a fart, I just can't understand it. Charlotte is acting like she thinks she is the smartest and treats everyone else as fools? Humph!"

But after venting, he also calmed down slowly, and said to the personal guard who reported the letter, "Reply to Charlotte, tens of thousands, no, more than [-] enemy troops appeared in my territory, and they raided the granary and robbed me of millions of grain and grass. Killing my tens of thousands of defenders, if I don’t respond, it will definitely lead to catastrophe, and there is even a danger of attacking my frontline army, so I am unable to take the lead in attacking, and I can make a decision when I clear the enemy troops in the territory.”

But in fact, many generals know that what was reported was only a small group of harassers who robbed some township-level granaries. The loss was not very large, but the news was not accurate, because there were indeed tens of thousands of mercenaries who robbed grain. There are many people, and the garrisons are often wiped out wherever they pass, so no news has been reported in a short time.

But even so, these food-grabbing troops also gave Harris a lot of warnings, so that he did not dare to take it lightly. After thinking about it, he continued, "The army will not move for the time being, and it is incomparable to send troops to the nearest county where the robbed area is located." Destroy them as quickly as possible!"

But after receiving the news, Charlotte surprisingly didn't get angry, but sneered, "Harris is a stupid pig, I'm afraid I'll take advantage of him, so I'll wait with him, there is no news about our dark son." We don’t have to rush to send it back.”

Just like this, it took another few days, but the Principality of Julio suddenly changed in the past few days. It turned out that after Julio set the policy of conscription and taxation, the matter was handed over to the military department, and the military General Budalu looked at the order, studied the last sentence carefully for a long time, and couldn't help smiling.

"It seems that the Grand Duke wants a civil uprising, but he is unwilling to take the blame. Well, I will take the blame for him." Then he shouted, "Come on, step up the conscription efforts in several nearby towns , and then send people to the people to stir up trouble, the bigger the noise, the better."

Charlotte's mansion soon got the news. After receiving the secret report from the happy men, Charlotte also showed a satisfied smile on his face, "Our waiting was not in vain. Sure enough, we have waited for a better one." Opportunity, hahaha, the forced conscription of the Principality of Julio has caused civil strife, and now that little fox is probably in a state of distress, why don't we take this opportunity to add fire to him?"

Then he asked his subordinates, "Have you sent someone to contact those mercenaries? What's their attitude?" "My lord, this is another good news. Those mercenaries have elected a leader. My people have contacted him." Yes, after listening to the price we offered, although he didn't fully agree, he also agreed to give us convenience at the right time, but the conditions still need to be discussed in detail."

"Oh? It seems that the appetite is not small, but I like greedy people. Go and tell him that as long as he does not participate in our war, I can give him food, gold and other subsidies to make him the biggest mercenary in the mercenary city." Corps, if he is interested in being a soldier, I can give him the position of general. If he turns to help us attack Julio, then after we completely defeat Julio, I will give him a street in Mercenary City He, that's a big piece of fat, I'm worried about him, I'm afraid he won't be able to swallow it because of his poor appetite, hahaha."

"Everything I heard today is good news, Julio, you little fox, it seems that God really wants to destroy you," Charlotte said with a serious look on her face, "Go and inform Harry Si, I have decided to attack the Principality of Julio tomorrow, and let him cross the border at the same time. If he is still hesitant, don't participate. If he doesn't even have this knowledge, he is a complete stupid pig. There is no need for us to cooperate in the future.”
