Real Cthulhu Running Game

   Chapter 730 The real difficulty

   Liu Xing and others looked at Zhang Jingxu.

   Zhang Jingxu nodded and said to Liu Xing and others: "You guys wait here for me to come back, I don't think it will take long."

   Then, Zhang Jingxu left with the maid.

   Liu Xing sighed and said: "It seems that we still have no status in Louis's eyes, and he still ignores us directly."

"This is also what we expected. After all, before we came to Mud City, we knew that this Louis was not the kind of corporal who treats him equally, but it also made me more sure that Louis did not have much support in the Skaven Kingdom. ” Zhang Wenbing said with a smile.

   At this moment, Shen Aotian suddenly said: "Speaking of which, why was Covins directly imprisoned in the Bastille by Louis? Is Louis planning to take the Cowens flag?"

Ding Kun touched his chin, nodded and said: "There is indeed such a possibility, because from the current situation, Louis must have no way to command this army like an arm, because this army is inherently complex, and Those lords who lead the troops are definitely more inclined to obey Bonaparte's orders than to obey Louis. After all, Bonaparte's reputation among these lords is much higher than that of Louis, so Louis now urgently needs a move to kill the chickens and show the monkeys. , Give these lords with different minds a slap in the face. If Louis really cuts Cowens' title to the end this time, and then puts Cowens in the Bastille, then Louis will not have to worry about those in a short time. The lord will come up with some kind of moth."

   For Louis, who lacks prestige in himself, killing chickens and monkeys is indeed the best way to let him master the command of the army.

Liu Xing can be sure that if Louis did nothing before the army set off, then Louis would likely be subtly seized by Bonaparte on the way to command the army. After all, many lords were willing to obey Bonaparte. The command.

The most important thing is that if this happened, it would be very difficult for Louis to regain command of the army from Bonaparte, because Bonaparte would not give it away, and Bonaparte Maybe he will take the opportunity to attack and put Louis under house arrest in disguise!

  In the army, many things depend on who has the bigger fist.

  I believe that Louis also understood this, so he suddenly attacked Cowens, because Cowens is a good "chicken", and it is best to kill Bonaparte and these "monkeys".

"Covance's title is Marquis, which belongs to the top group of nobles in the Skaven Kingdom, and Cowens' reputation in the Skaven Kingdom is also quite high, so Louis's punishment of Covens can indeed make a difference. To the role of killing chickens and monkeys, and there is no need to worry about too many negative effects, after all, Cowens is a commoner after all, and his family depends on him alone, so Louis wants to uproot the Cowens family. It doesn't take much effort to get up; and because of his own background, Cowens is definitely not the same as those hereditary nobles, so Louis does not need to worry that those hereditary nobles will intercede for Cowens at any cost. "Yin En said helplessly: "It seems that Covance is in danger this time."

Liu Xing nodded and felt that what Yin En said was very reasonable. Now Cowens is indeed the most suitable lord to start in Louis's eyes. It seems that if his party chose to assist Cowens at that time, they would have to test for rescue now. Vince ran everywhere.

   No wonder the difficulty of Cowens is difficult.

  Because Liu Xing and others thought it was difficult for Zhang Jingxu to persuade Louis to let Cowens go, Liu Xing and others began to chat, such as whether to go to the tavern in Mud City tomorrow.

  After all, the tavern is the easiest place to gather information in the Dragon Quest game.

   But it didn't take long for Liu Xing and others to see Zhang Jingxu looking as usual.

   Liu Xing raised his brows and said somewhat unexpectedly, "Zhang Jingxu, has Louis promised to release Cowens?"

Zhang Jingxu nodded and said: "It seems that Chen Zixuan mentioned us when he met Louis today, so Louis finally gave us, or the Empire, a face, and has promised to put Cowens out of the Bastille prison. Come out, but Covance's title will change from Marquis to Earl, and he will also surrender his military power."

   Unexpected and reasonable.

Now that Louis now knows that he wants to kill chickens as an example, then Louis will be more aware of the importance of the imperial mercenaries to him, or whether Bonaparte dares to mutiny on the march depends to a large extent. The attitude of imperial mercenaries.

  Imperial mercenaries can be said to be the only variable in this counter-insurgency army, because the imperial mercenaries represent the attitude of the empire, so Bonaparte is not willing to offend the imperial mercenaries casually.

   Therefore, rather than killing chickens and showing monkeys, Louis may feel that it is more beneficial for him to hold the thigh of the empire.

  Unfortunately, Louis didn't know that the Empire was ready to let him "abandon the throne".

   In addition, Liu Xing guessed that Zhang Jingxu should have cast a great success when he persuaded Louis, otherwise Louis would not have released Cowens so soon.

   "Since Cowens has no military power now, will he return directly to Jinfeng City?" Ding Kun asked.

Zhang Jingxu shook his head and said, "Louis is going to make Cowens guilty, so Cowens will serve as a vanguard officer in a legion directly under Louis, and the two Kewen brothers will also serve as Cowens' deputy. Those recruited by Vince will be scattered into the armies of the other lords."

   Liu Xing frowned, it seems that this Louis is quite smart.

   For Cowens, who is already old and infirm, the vanguard is definitely a deadly position. After all, the vanguard must take the lead and fight on the front line.

And to put it bluntly, the battles that follow are basically siege battles, and the siege side sends the vanguard troops to put it bluntly as cannon fodder, which is used to consume the defender's arrows and various defending props, such as rolling stones. block or something.

   So if Cowans wants to avoid being punished by Louis again for "ineffective offense", then Cowans must fight on the front line and score points.

   But the sword has no eyes on the battlefield, and Cowens will die in battle if he is not careful.

   So for Covance, now it's just a suspended execution.

In addition, Louis scattered the recruits recruited by Covents and distributed them to other lords, which would also make other lords suspicious of Covents, thinking that Covents might have joined Louis and deliberately played in front of them. They had a good show, the purpose was to let those "spies" called recruits sneak into their troops.

In Liu Xing's view, Louis's move was a three-birds-one-stone strategy. First, it gave Zhang Jingxu and the imperial mercenaries a face, and secondly, it made other lords suspicious of Cowens. Is able to continue to threaten Cowens.

If nothing else, Liu Xing estimates that Louis may want to recruit Cowens, because under the coercion and inducement of Louis, there are only two ways for Cowens to go now - either accept Louis's invitation and become a dog of Louis, Or just find a chance to turn around!

   Liu Xing felt that Cowens should choose the latter.

   Now the plot behind it will be fun.

   In the next few days, Liu Xing and others wandered around in the mud city under the surveillance of Louis, during which they had a meal with Cowens, who had just been released from the Bastille.

Because Cowens is still guilty, so Louis sent a few guards to protect (monitor) Cowens. Therefore, at the dinner table, Cowens just thanked Liu Xing and others, and then everyone chatted about family affairs. .

   Then on a sunny morning, an hour after Louis gave a speech, the 100,000-strong army of counter-insurgents finally set off for Ruthzia.

   To be honest, as Liu Xing on the carriage looked at the dense crowd of people around him, he suddenly felt like he was about to have a phobia.

   There are really people everywhere.

   For the convenience of chatting, the carriage where Liu Xing was also sat in the three Yin En and three.

   "I used to think that 100,000 people were not many, but now I realize that I was really wrong." Yoon En said with some sigh.

  Ding Kun shrugged and said, "Actually, as long as you go to the major train stations during the Spring Festival travel period, you can feel what a sea of ​​people is called, but this army of 100,000 armored and knives looks really shocking."

"Of course, the next battle will be even more shocking. I didn't expect that we would be able to experience a cold weapon battle in the Cthulhu running group game hall." Zhang Wenbing sighed and said, "But we have to do a good job of killing san. It's worth preparing, and we may have to fight soy sauce in the next battle."

   Again, in such a large-scale battle, what one person can do is really too limited.

  Especially so far, Liu Xing and others have not even seen Wellington.

Because Louis announced a long time ago that he would wage war against the rebels and the Plague Clan of Ruszia, in order to prevent the rebels and the Plague Clan from attacking the mainstay, Louis had arranged for Wellington and several other Skaven. The famous generals of the kingdom led a legion to garrison the front line, so Liu Xing and others, who were the former army, would not be able to see Wellington until 20 days at the earliest.

   However, Liu Xing and others also got a piece of good news, that is, Gugu finally came back after a week of pigeons, and brought back His Majesty's hand letter, so that Chen Zixuan sent 200 mercenaries to obey Zhang Jingxu's dispatch.

   Of course, when Zhang Jingxu got the command of these mercenaries, Liu Xing and others temporarily changed from "brave" to an "imperial mercenary", and will accept the leadership of Chen Zixuan before the end of the war.

   "If we follow Chen Zixuan honestly, then we should be able to join Wellington's forces directly." Liu Xing said.

Yin En nodded and said with a smile: "It should be right, after all, we were all members of the imperial mercenaries before the end of the war, which means that when Wellington raises troops, we will join Welling. Under Dun's command."

"That's not necessarily true." Ding Kun suddenly said, "Although this is true in theory, we have to be mentally prepared, because we are in the Cthulhu game hall, so it should be impossible. It is so natural to join the Wellington faction, so I suspect that the war here should only refer to the Skaven Kingdom’s counter-insurgency war. As long as the Skaven Kingdom successfully quells the rebellion and annihilates the Plague Clan, then we will continue to set foot on it. The crusade against Bahamut, and then how the Imperial mercenaries will support Wellington's claim to the throne of Skaven, that's not something we have to consider."

   Liu Xing frowned, knowing that Ding Kun's guess was likely to be true.

  Because for Wellington and Chen Zixuan, their group is not important in the next battle for the throne. After all, a few of them are really useless except to perform some assassination missions.

   Besides, the identities of Liu Xing and others are also a little embarrassing.

Although Liu Xing and others are also part of the mercenaries of the empire, their actual identity is still brave, so if Liu Xing and others are only involved in suppressing the rebellion, no one will say anything, and they will feel that Liu Xing and others are upright and brave, worthy of being Brave.

   But if Liu Xing and others join the Wellington faction, then it is equivalent to participating in the rebellion of other countries. Now Liu Xing and others have a bad reputation as a hero.

   So for Chen Zixuan and Wellington, it is the best choice not to let Liu Xing and others participate in the next battle for the throne.

After thinking about this, Liu Xing also said with some worry: "The real difficulty in choosing the Wellington faction is here. If we choose other forces to participate in the battle for the throne of the Skaven Kingdom, then we should not be affected. Condemned by other countries, because Louis was originally the king of the Skaven Kingdom, and Bonaparte was considered to have the right to inherit the Skaven Kingdom. As for Cowens, he was considered a meritorious general of the Skaven Kingdom, under the persecution of Louis. Raising troops is also justifiable; but Wellington is different, because as long as the Imperial mercenaries join the Wellington force, then everyone knows that Wellington is in all likelihood a spy for the Empire, so Wellington is the most Not eligible to participate in the battle for the throne of the Skaven Kingdom."

"Other countries must not dare to target the empire and ask Wellington to give up the throne, but they can vent their anger on us, because we have to go through their territory if we want to crusade Bahamut, so they all There is no need to embarrass us, if we only deal with us with an uncooperative attitude, we will have to suffer a lot, and the empire is not easy to stand up for us, now our task will be difficult." Yin En Then said.

   Everyone in the carriage fell silent.

   After a while, Liu Xing couldn't help asking the KP Husky: "Kp, if we don't participate in this battle for the throne, what will be the consequences?"

  PS: How was your test?
