Chapter 56 Asking for Policy (Part 2)
Marquis Ashan stared directly at Li Wei. The pressure from the strong man in the sanctuary made Li Wei's scalp numb, and every second was extremely painful.
It seemed like a century had passed before Marquis Ashan burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, yes, yes, you, a little baron, can actually think about the war situation from such a high level. If I didn't know your details, I would have regarded you as a spy of some company.
Although in some details and secret requests There are some omissions in the report, but the overall judgment of the situation is pretty much the same. Your strategy of being conservative in strategy, proactive in tactics, and raiding grain roads also coincides with the plan I had in mind. The young man is
very good, but you are not satisfied yet. You must be twenty, your vision is already so unique. The future of the kingdom belongs to outstanding young people like you!" "Your Majesty, the
Marquis, is ridiculous, not to mention that your deeds of opening up five counties more than twenty years ago are still in the four borders of the kingdom. It is said that the great victory at Snow Dragon Fortress just a few years ago was enough to be included in the mural of the parliament hall!"
After receiving the praise from the boss, Levi did not hesitate. This is the thickest thigh in the North, and it must be in front of others. Leave a good impression in front of you!
Next to him, Viscount Weilin's eyes were about to burst into flames. He felt that Marquis Ashan looked at him differently because Li Wei saved his daughter's life. My strategy is definitely better than Levi!
"Lord Marquis, what's wrong with my plan?"
Marquis Ashan looked at Viscount Verin. He understood that such young people always think that they are unappreciated for their talents, but in fact they are limited by their vision and experience and are just pretentious.
True geniuses are always in the minority, and geniuses who are proficient in everything are even rarer. Viscount Verin has good martial arts talent, but that's all.
He is not the kind of genius who can almost lock the sanctuary. Although it is rare, it is just like that for an almost epic hero like the Marquis of Ashan.
But Marquis Ashan still chuckled and explained: "The Orc Empire is indeed, as Levi and Hopkins said, not that simple.
Even if the Beast Emperor sends more than 200,000 troops south, their power left behind in the country is still very strong. It cannot be disrupted by an elite force.
And there are some things I can tell you, that is, the essence of the Orc Empire is a tribal alliance, with many internal contradictions.
So in the future when you encounter an Orc army, you can try to think of how to divide it. Disintegrate the opponent. For example, just like this time when the orcs invaded the south, although their slogan was to regain the lost territory, the orc tribes that originally lived in the five newly expanded counties had no say in the orc empire at
all about the demise and decline of the orc tribe.
The essence of the sub-southern invasion is actually that the orc tribes have reached a bottleneck in their development and want to go south to seize territory and rob the people and wealth of our Kingdom of Fontaine.
Especially the people of our Kingdom of Fontaine, they will be captured as slaves. The human race The value of slaves is not low within the Orc Empire.
Especially for nomadic and fishing and hunting tribes, a large number of human slaves can effectively make up for their shortcomings in food production. There are more than
twenty races in the Orc Empire, and the large tribes are estimated to have sixty to eighty. But each race has only one clan leader.
In the past thousand years, the orcs' hierarchical structure has been the beast king - the clan leader of each group - the leader of the large tribe - the leader of the medium tribe - the leader of the small tribe, and so on Division.
But this time the situation seems to have changed. The royal family of the Orc Empire tried to bypass the level of the clan leaders and directly connect with the leaders of the major tribes to divide the authority that originally belonged to the clan leaders.
Just like Weiss of the Orc Empire last time Crown Prince Haite led a large army to attack our Snow Dragon Fortress. Most of the main force came from large tribes that were not tribe leaders.
However, only a small part of the large tribes where the tribe leaders belonged came, and most of them were left to the rear.
The Orc Empire The royal family's intention is very obvious, which is to bypass the clan leaders and lead the other big tribes south to carve up my newly expanded five counties. Unfortunately, it was a bloody blow.
Now the old beast emperor wants to recruit more troops to go south. Because the royal family has previously arranged They work together, so when the kingdom increases its efforts to increase its membership, this time the big tribes where the clan leaders belong are not willing to send troops to confront our Fontaine Kingdom head-on.
According to our inside information, the big tribes where the clan leaders belong are just symbolic If you want to use some cannon fodder to fool them, the main force this time is still their non-tribe tribes. Therefore, don't underestimate the left-behind forces in the orc empire. Each of the large tribes where the tribe leaders belong has extremely strong strength.
So Solvay, your plan is not very applicable at this time.
But you don’t have to be depressed. Your generation has not experienced the baptism of war, and it is normal for you to lack some understanding of the Orc Empire.
And you must have access to information. It’s understandable that there are some fallacies in the decisions made.”
“But Lord Marquis—”
Viscount Verin wanted to argue, but was directly interrupted by Marquis Ashan.
"Okay! This matter is over here. Viscount Verin, I still have some private matters with Viscount Ome and Baron Monterey. Let's talk about it when we have the opportunity in the future."
Seeing that Marquis Ashan had already issued an order to expel guests, Viscount Verin continued. I was unwilling and had no choice but to leave the office angrily and leave without looking back.
"Li Wei, this is the third time that you have surprised me. Not to mention your generation, even if we go back twenty years, there are very few young people who have amazed me three times in a row." "My
Lord Marquis . You are too flattering to the boy. I am just someone with better luck. And where are the three times? I remember this is the first time I saw you." "
Hahahaha, the three times that surprised me were the ones you just did. A lot of analysis and strategy.
I didn’t expect you to be able to judge the entire situation very accurately with such limited information. I don’t know how many staff members in the staff department would be embarrassed. The
second time I was surprised was when I saw Hopkins Send me a private message, there is such a sophisticated water attack method in the world, and five thousand orcs were completely annihilated by you."
Hearing this, Viscount Omei couldn't help but feel a little sour.
He was able to persist on Duolun Peak for so many days despite being at an absolute disadvantage, which was already better than countless nobles. This father-in-law actually turned a blind eye and didn't even give a word of praise.
"As for the first time I was surprised, it was the Norton boy Garrieux who told me that the counterweighted trebuchet donated by the Earl of Norton's family was traded to the Norton family by your boy.
I really want to thank you for the counterweighted trebuchet. The trebuchet allowed me to repulse the first attack of the orcs at the minimum cost, giving the five newly expanded counties and even the entire northern border a chance to breathe." Viscount
Omei next to him said at this moment that it shocked my mother for a whole year! It turns out that my father-in-law also took advantage of Li Wei.
Marquis Ashan continued with emotion: "Looking at your young appearance, I can't help but feel
a little jealous. I have spent a lot of energy educating my children, but none of them have become mature.
Even my most satisfied Fu Laura, in addition to being gifted in witchcraft and alchemy, is also a mess in other aspects.
I am really grateful that you saved Flora this time. I will hold a party at my Marquis Palace tonight. You and Hopkins must attend the banquet.
This banquet is a family banquet, there will be no other miscellaneous outsiders, so you can be more casual when the time comes."
Sorry, gentlemen, I'm late!
