Chapter 96 Do you know how I got here these three days?
After that, Anya waited anxiously for three days in the Endless Tower, waiting for a reply from the "messenger".
When dining with Ganouen that day, Anya cut the dishes on the plate absentmindedly, forced a smile to face Ganouen's unabashed lustful gaze, and at the same time tried hard to find in her mind what kind of excuse she should use tonight.
Ganon would ask her "if it's okay" once a day, but she could only shirk him again and again because her body hadn't fully recovered yet.
The other party didn't seem to be anxious yet, but Anya estimated that with the red dragon's temperament, she might not be able to restrain herself for too long.
If you make the other party suspicious, everything will be in vain.
The limit will probably be reached the day after tomorrow, and then she may have to rely on her own body again to renew the red dragon's trust in her.
The backup plan was something she had discussed with the envoy from the beginning. From here, she would rush to the contact point they agreed on. One day was enough.
What went wrong?
Seeing that Ganon was about to say something, Anya suddenly became uneasy.
At this moment, a demon statue walked into the restaurant and reported to Ganon: "My lord, the dark elf messenger sent out before has returned and is now asking for an audience outside the tower." After hearing this,
Anya almost fell off her chair on the spot. Jump up.
finally come!
Three days, do you know how I got here these three days?
She deals with this red dragon every day, sleeps with him in the same bed, worries every day that she will be pinned down on the bed by the other person again, and has to work hard to please the other person, so as not to lose the other person's trust... But on the surface, she naturally remains calm
. He said to Ganoen: "Husband, there should be news coming from the Principality of Xihe. It may be more important news. Why not ask him to come up and report it."
Three days ago, when she sent the messenger out, she gave Ganouen an excuse to go to the Principality of Xihe to contact the spies stationed there, and then bring back the information obtained from the local area.
"That's right." Ganon waved towards the golem without much thought.
In fact, as early as when the messenger entered the boundary of [Watcher], he had already noticed that the other party was back. It seems that he had already contacted the "messenger" and brought a response to Anya.
Soon, the golem brought up a male dark elf, who was the messenger sent out earlier.
"Lord Ganon, and the hostess, please allow me to report to you the urgent report I just received not long ago." As soon as
the messenger knelt down, he continued to report the news that had been compiled in a capable voice,
"Xihe The principality has assembled a thousand-man legion this time, including 500 armed with dragon-hunting weapons. It is preparing to head here. The departure time is tonight and is expected to arrive at dusk the day after tomorrow at the earliest. In addition
, The Grand Duke of Xihe has also received support from the empire, and a knights group has been assembled at Longkou Fortress. The number is not yet clear, and they are ready to cooperate with the Duke of Xihe in launching an attack." "The Dragon's Back Empire has also dispatched?" Anya pretended to be surprised
.
Ganon couldn't help but feel suspicious after hearing the report.
He had read the secret letter sent out and had the dark elf maid decipher it.
The messenger made a special trip to contact that messenger. According to the confessions of the maids, the communication they arranged was completely different from that of the Principality of Xihe. When the messenger came back, what he brought was that the Principality of Xihe and the Empire planned to attack him. The news...
that's it.
I want to use false news to contain his actions. Ganon felt like he had guessed Anya's thoughts.
"The Grand Duke has made a new move so quickly. This time he has managed to save the cost." Ganon followed the other person's words, "It's a bit surprising that the empire suddenly got involved."
"The Principality of Xihe is determined to fight against you, so it's only natural that the Empire wants to take advantage of it. After all, the Empire should have been keeping an eye on your life." Anya continued.
"Regarding this matter, I contacted the informant stationed at Longkou Fortress. According to the existing intelligence analysis, the empire's attitude does not seem to be very clear. Although they agreed to the Xihe Principality's request for support, the intensity of the support was not It seems that the plan depends on the situation." The messenger suddenly spoke.
"What do you mean?" Ganon asked him to explain carefully.
"Longkou Fortress is not far from here. The empire should plan to have the first batch of troops join forces with the Principality of Xihe to attack first. If the attack goes well, they will send more reinforcements from the fortress." The messenger explained.
"But on the other hand, if the attack of the first batch of coalition forces is frustrated, the empire will probably give up the action." Anya added, "In this case, husband, we should first deal with the troops of the Principality of Xihe." "With such a number of
people , even within the territory, it is not easy to solve it quickly. If the support from the empire is strong enough, it will still be quite troublesome." Ganon continued to follow the other party's intention.
"Regarding this, we have actually spied on the march route of the Principality of Xihe." The messenger came.
"Wouldn't it be possible to ambush the opponent in the middle of their march?" Anya looked at Ganouen with joy.
Singing and harmonizing, this is the original purpose... Ganouen finally understood Anya's plan.
"I drew a map, please take a look at it!" The messenger respectfully presented a piece of paper.
Anya looked at Ganon. Ganon ordered the golem to get the letter. She saw that the dark elf had drawn a large amount of terrain from here to the Principality of Xihe, and then marked the march of the Principality of Xihe with a thick line. route.
"Are they still planning to pass through this valley?" Ganon immediately noticed that there were obvious locations on the march route that were suitable for attacking this legion.
In that narrow valley, once the army enters, it has to adopt a dense formation.
At this time, a red dragon suddenly descended from the sky and bombed the valley. They had nowhere to hide or escape.
"They probably planned to take a shortcut to reduce the marching time. What a pity. They wanted to conduct a surprise attack. Unfortunately, we are better in terms of intelligence." Anya laughed.
"Indeed, thanks to you, we have the opportunity to strike first..." Ganon said and frowned, "It would be good to attack them in this valley, but if I leave like this, the empire might come here. It's time to attack the tower."
This valley is still a certain distance from his territory. At the flying speed of the dragon, it will probably take more than an hour to go back and forth.
If Longkou Fortress had assembled troops outside the border in advance, it would have had a chance to launch a surprise attack on the Endless Tower while he was away.
——Of course, the premise of all this is that the so-called information provided by the dark elves is true.
"Want to make use of the elves of Muxia?" Ganon pondered.
"Then, husband, how are you going to explain the source of the news to Mu Xia? Moreover, Mu Xia also needs to be on guard against the empire, and their support may not be timely." Anya analyzed.
"It makes sense..." Ganon continued to follow Anya's wishes and waited for the other party to take the next step.
"By the way, husband, isn't this tower capable of using a large-scale Holy Light spell to resist the attack of the army? If it's only a few hundred people, you shouldn't have to worry too much." Anya asked pretending to be curious.
"Well, that thing must be held by someone within the tower to be able to activate it." Ganon took out the permission book from his body and showed it to Anya.
This was of course a lie. He had revealed this false information to Anya through the three dark elf maids.
In fact, as long as there is enough magic power reserve, the steward stone, which is the embodiment of the tower's autonomous consciousness, can also independently deploy the tower's defense system with Ganon's prior authorization. Ganon can also directly authorize and sign a contract with the tower. Anyone who controls the contract.
The Book of Permissions is one with him, and he can grant the permissions to others at will. But in Anya's eyes, the Book of Permissions is just a foreign object to him. The power of the tower is only controlled by this book and has nothing to do with the red dragon.
"In that case..." Anya acted like he was hesitating to speak.
"What do you want to say?" Ganon asked.
"My lord, do you trust me enough?" Anya looked seriously into Ganouen's eyes.
"If you still doubt this now, I don't like hearing it." Ganouen put on a somewhat displeased expression.
"Really?" Anya confirmed carefully.
"Of course, don't ask stupid questions like this again." Ganon said decisively.
Anya seemed to have plucked up the courage, and then spoke to Ganouen cautiously: "This may be a bit presumptuous. If you believe me, I will first help you keep the book of authority and protect your territory." "Hand it over.
" For you?" Ganon looked a little surprised.
Of course, he wasn't surprised at all. Halfway through the small theater show where Anya and the messenger were singing along, he figured out what Anya was planning.
Using a bunch of false information, they created a scenario for Ganon where "handing the Book of Authority to Anya to guard the Endless Tower, and then attacking the marching enemies himself" was the optimal solution.
In the secret message, Anya contacted the envoy to "send troops to help", probably in order to disguise herself as a crusade force from the Principality of Xihe.
Will the envoy personally participate in the operation?
"I just want to share my husband's worries. Everything is left to my husband's arrangement." Anya explained respectfully, "Actually, if the empire fails to join forces with the Xihe Principality, it should give up the attack. I think it should There's no need to worry too much. It's just that, I think, just be careful in everything..."
Ganon stared at Anya closely, seeming to be thinking about it.
Anya was being stared at by the other party and felt terrified. To be honest, she was still a little unsure whether Ganouen would agree to it, but if she didn't try this, she probably wouldn't have the chance to touch the book.
Finally, Ganouen said in a deep voice: "Well, you are indeed qualified to share this matter for me."
