Ligeia held the photo in her hand and was extremely shocked.

The clarity of the magic image represents the level of the caster's magic power. The more powerful the magician, the higher the clarity of the magic image recorded.

In this photo, even the hair of the sleeping woman is clearly visible, which shows how terrifying the magic power of the person who recorded the magical image is.

The woman inside is herself, and the shooting location is the chair where Yan Xing sat.

Ligeia imagined Yan Xing using magic to record her sleeping state while she was sleeping, feeling that she was on a fatal mission.

Since Knight Yanxing is not here, I should go back. Thank you for the hospitality... Ligeia left in a hurry.

When I got on the return carriage, I realized that I was still holding the blanket.

I don’t know who covered it.

Ligeia put the blanket on her lap, held the photo in her hands and looked at it carefully.

On the other side, Yan Xing was indeed called to the City Lord's Mansion by Count Theodore.

In a room with a lit fireplace, Count Theodore was sitting in a chair by the fireside, holding a glass of red wine in his hand.

Yan Xing sat opposite the old count and watched the butler pour him a glass of wine.

The old count said: This kind of stone castle with an open roof is very hard, but it is also very humid. If the inside is not dried out in late autumn, and there is a heavy snowfall in winter, the inside will be like an ice cave.

Yan Xing picked up the wine glass and said to the old earl: Then I will have my castle roasted when I go back. Tutor, you have aged a lot during this time...

The obviously old old earl forced a smile on his face, shook his head and said: It's good to be alive until now. As long as I can hold on until winter comes, I can have a good rest.

I'm told you brought a werewolf cavalry into the city.

While Earl Theodore manages logistics for the Galeland Legion, he also has his own intelligence channels.

Yan Xing's troop strength in New Tower City has reached the prescribed upper limit of 500 people. There are about 400 other guards of the Eternal Chamber of Commerce and Eternal Food Company, and there are another 300 soldiers receiving training in the New Tower City military camp.

If you include the military power hidden by the Eternal Information Exchange and interested families, the number of troops Yan Xing can mobilize in New Tower City is definitely not a small number.

In addition, 3,000 people from the Eternal Trade Guild were trained in a manor in the north of New Tower City, and the weapons used were muskets.

Weapons like muskets are the stuff of goblins.

However, the muskets provided by Yan Xing's mercenaries were significantly more powerful than the muskets used by the goblins.

The rate of fire is also much faster.

News came from the Eternal Territory that the werewolf group attached to Yan Xing showed signs of preparation for war.

If the Thunder Swamp army goes south at this time, New Tower City will not be able to withstand such an internal and external attack.

Some rumors about Thunder Swamp's attack on New Tower City are circulating in the city, and some officials also warned the old count to beware of the sudden increase in power.

The possible threat from the north made Count Theodore very afraid of Yan Xing at this time.

Yes, I brought a werewolf cavalry into the city today. Yan Xing did not deny that he entered the city openly. He swung the red wine in the glass and continued: I think there will be major events in New Tower City these days. Something happened, and I have so many properties in the city that I cannot afford not to have enough warriors to protect them.

What news have you heard? asked Count Theodore.

Yan Xing took a sip of wine and replied to the old earl: Teacher, you should be better informed than me. Even I can feel the tension in New Tower City. It's impossible for you not to know.

Your city lord's mansion must not only light a fire to bake out the moisture inside, but also place guards to prevent evil spirits from entering from outside.

A lifetime of fighting and rich political experience made the old count know that when the end of the war was approaching, there would be chaos.

Everyone wants to seek the best interests for themselves at this point in time.

A great chaos in New Tower City is imminent.

And what role will Yan Xing play in this chaos?

The old count could not guess.

So he called Yan Xing here to judge by what he said and what he did.

However, Yan Xing has obviously grown up a lot since they first met.

He was already a little fox at that time.

Count Theodore said: “It is much easier to investigate your Eternal Territory than to investigate all parties in New Tower City.

After all, your territory is there, and those with bad intentions are hiding deeper than the last.

Moreover, Storm City has drawn too many people from me, and it is difficult for me to keep track of the movements of those people. This is very dangerous.

If you still consider me an ally, please tell me what you know.

I have always been your ally and my mentor. Yan Xing raised a glass to pay respect to Earl Theodore, and then said: I found out something.

The Jufeng Mercenary Group and the Falshi Mercenary Group have each gathered a large number of mercenaries, and there will be a large-scale firefight in New Tower City in the near future.

Behind them are the 'short spear' and the temple respectively.

The Short Gun... is a mercenary organization that colludes with the orcs. I don't know why the two families started fighting, but fighting in New Tower City would definitely cause chaos.

Recently, there have been many rumors about Thunder Swamp in New Tower City, saying that we will attack New Tower City.

I'm investigating.

At this time, Count Theodore suddenly asked: Is this rumor true or false...

There was a sudden chill in the room.

The two men looked at each other.

Suddenly Yan Xing laughed: What reason do I have to capture New Tower City?

Count Theodore suddenly understood.

Land is not something that Yanxing is in urgent need of now. There are large areas of land in Thunder Swamp that are undeveloped.

What he needs is money.

Money to develop Thunder Swamp and Eternal Land.

New Tower City is now Yan Xing's window to make money, and the Eternal Chamber of Commerce and the Eternal Grain Company are making a lot of money for him.

After the war is over, the road between the Gale Highlands and the principality will be clear.

The Eternal Merchant Guild established by Yan Xing will send more wealth to him.

And if Thunder Swamp captures New Tower City, it will declare war on Silvermane Principality. He took possession of a city whose wealth was quickly drying up, and went to war with the Silvermane Principality, which was totally outweighing the gains.

Unless New Tower City is controlled by someone hostile to Thunder Swamp, Thunder Swamp will never directly occupy New Tower City during the development period.

After thinking about this, Count Theodore also laughed.

I'm getting older... people are getting more and more confused. I started to doubt you after hearing a few rumors. It's my fault.

I've also noticed the mercenaries' strange movements in the past few days.

If the temple and the 'short gun' were taken inside, there might be some private soldiers of the nobles involved.

Behind the temple is the Griffin Heart Empire. What our Emperor most wishes to see is for the Principality of Silvermane to completely abandon the Windy Highlands.

If they make big moves, it means they find that the war situation in the Gale Highlands will develop in a direction that is unfavorable to the empire.

It's just... Since the 'short gun' serves the orcs, why does it fight with the people in the temple?

Count Theodore couldn't understand, and neither could Yan Xing.

It stands to reason that although the Short Spear and the temple are their own masters, they should cooperate if they have the same interests.

Ignore them for now and let Fubuki continue to investigate.

Then Yan Xing told the old count about Carol ordering 200,000 sets of cotton-padded clothes and quilts from him.

I don't know if Carol had any other purpose for ordering 200,000 yuan for me, so I didn't tell you at the time.

But when I gave her the quilt sample, she paid the deposit very simply.

These uniforms are really prepared for the future expansion of the Gale Highland Legion.

Upon hearing the news, Count Theodore realized the seriousness of the problem.

Expand the Galeland Legion!

It was certainly not to expand the Windy Highlands regiment controlled by Marquis Anderson.

This shows that the principality is already implementing a plan to seize power, and the success rate of this plan is very high.

Count Theodore immediately stood up and walked to the highland tactical map nearby.

Yan Xing also came over.

The old earl pointed to the cities and signs on the map and said to Yan Xing: Marquis Anderson is currently resisting the main force of the orcs at Anjik Fort. Behind Anjik Fort is Storm City.

To the south of Storm City is the highland passage that connects the principality to the mainland. At this time, the principality's army has completed its assembly at the other end of the highland passage.

This is an army ready to ascend to the windy heights at any time and take control of the battle.

In what way does Duke Silvermane plan to seize Marquis Anderson's military power?

Assassination? coup? Raid?

At this time, Marquis Anderson's control of Storm City was at its lowest, and it was also the time when the Stormwind Highlands Legion was at its weakest and most unstable.

Anything can happen.

Yan Xing looked at the map and thought. He didn't know how the Duke would attack Marquis Anderson.

In this case, there are really too many methods that can be used.

The success rate is very high.

but……

Yan Xing looked at the battle map for a while and said to Count Theodore: Mentor... no matter what method the Silver Mane Principality will use to seize power from Marquis Anderson, as long as it succeeds, it will be difficult to defend Fort Angelick.

Don’t consider the process, only consider the results.

The first thing the new commander of the Storm Highland Legion faced was the orc army approaching the city. As for the reinforcements at the other end of the highland passage, it should be impossible for them to enter Storm City in a short time.

Earl Theodore was worried about the safety of Marquis Anderson, and he was worried about it.

After hearing Yan Xing's analysis, he immediately turned to the military perspective to consider how the Silvermane Principality could use the existing defenders to defend this important city after taking over Storm City.

The principality has not reduced its material support for the battlefield in the Gale Highlands. The materials in Storm City are enough to withstand the orcs' attack for a period of time. But if the orcs completely wipe out the defenders of Angelic Castle, the new commander will face a defense with no one available. City battle.

It is impossible for reinforcements to enter Storm City in a short time. Even if they enter Storm City, it will be difficult to familiarize themselves with the city's defenses in a short time.

The orcs know that the Stormwind Highland Legion has temporarily changed their commander, and they will definitely seize the opportunity to attack Storm City with all their strength.

After the fall of Storm City, the human race on the Windy Highlands will lose contact with the mainland and will be wiped out sooner or later.

It will be extremely difficult for the principality to attack the Windy Highlands again...

Count Theodore used the worst possibility to analyze the direction of the war after Marquis Anderson was seized of power.

It was discovered that there was a small chance that Silvermane Principality would lose Storm City.

Yan Xing listened to Count Theodore's analysis and said: For the principality, Storm City is definitely better in the hands of Marquis Anderson than in the hands of the orcs.

But they still insisted on seizing power and took action, so they must be fully prepared.

They can make it impossible for the orcs to capture Storm City.

Count Theodore frowned and looked towards the wild orc homeland.

The capture of Storm City is of great significance to the wild orcs. The principality had to deploy heavy troops around the edge of the Stormy Highlands to prevent the orcs from rushing down. If the orcs attack the coastal cities of the principality from the air, it will once again increase the area that the principality needs to defend.

This is a huge drain on national power.

The wild orcs will never withdraw their troops when they are about to capture Storm City.

unless……

Unless someone backstabs the orcs at this time.

Yan Xing and Count Theodore looked at the battlefield on the Western Front together. The elves seemed to have no sense of presence these days.

Now the entire Stormwind Highlands are paying attention to the Storm City battlefield. Faced with the imminent victory, the red-eyed orcs attacked regardless of losses.

In order to stop the orcs, the Stormy Highlands Legion also defended them tightly without giving an inch.

Compared with the fierce battlefield on the Eastern Front, the battlefield on the Western Front, where the elves mainly attack, has become a little quieter.

The elves are also attacking, but compared with the fierce attack at the beginning of the war, the momentum is much worse.

Often, as soon as the defenders are aroused, the elves' army retreats.

At first Count Theodore didn't think there was anything wrong.

The Snow Elves are much weaker than the Savage Orcs. The Elves do not feel that their lives are worthless and they have the sacrifice spirit of the Orcs. Being able to launch such a ferocious offensive in the early stages of the war is beyond everyone's understanding of the Snow Elves.

In the middle and later stages, the offensive was weak due to losses and war weariness, which was originally within the strategic expectations laid out by Marquis Anderson.

Especially when winter is about to arrive, the elves who need to prepare supplies for the winter will not be able to launch any decent attacks.

Now after ruling out all possibilities.

The Principality of Silvermane wanted to seize Marquis Anderson's military power and defend Storm City, so they had no choice but to ask the elves to backstab the orcs.

While the two sides are in a state of war, UU Reading www. uukanshhu.スnet Elves cannot be invited just by asking.

Count Theodore suddenly said to Yan Xing: The two hundred thousand sets of quilts cannot be given to Carol!

Looking at this kind of tactical map and listening to the old count's explanation, some questions in Yan Xing's mind suddenly became clear.

However, regarding Count Theodore's request, Yan Xing smiled and replied: This is not acceptable... I have already given the sample and received the deposit, and the goods must be delivered.

My family creed is to practice what I preach.

And I don’t think the most important thing now is to intercept Mrs. Carol’s supplies to buy the elves, but to prevent Marquis Anderson from losing his military power.

As long as the Stormwind Highlands Legion and Storm City are in the hands of Marquis Anderson, whatever supplies Carol promised to the elves will be a piece of waste paper.

If Marquis Anderson loses his military power, I will ensure that I have a good start in our diplomatic relations with the Silvermane Principality. The only thing I could do at that time was to protect your safety and try my best to maintain your power in New Tower City.
