"... on the 15th day of the camp in the barren hills, after confirming the direction of Laslo Varna's March, Loren Turin chose to stand still;

During the garrison, it was confirmed that he had a quarrel with Lord Byrne. The content was unknown. It was suspected that it was about why Boye was allowed to keep Byrne out of the battlefield;

On the 20th, in addition to training the "Duke guard" to double the investigation scope of Rangers, Loren Turin still did not move northward. Discontent began to appear in the barracks. Hearing the news of the Northern War, the Byrne knights were eager to participate in the war;

On the 23rd, the rear intelligence was sent, which was suspected to be about the dwarf civil war. At the same time, the Rangers sent intelligence and found the logistics supply line of the Centaur... At the same time, they also found the footprints of the dwarf in the supply line;

Late that night, Loren Turin convened a military council, the content of which was unknown;

On the 24th, the plan was officially announced. Byrne's army will take the lead in annihilating the baggage team, and then sneak into the rear of the Centaur along the other party's supply line;

The password of the plan is "back around tactics", which is called "stabbing the eyes of centaurs" by guy angert, Earl of mountain rock castle;

The 25th... Huh? "

Looking at the missing page of the file in his hand, the red haired boy suddenly felt a cold in the back of his neck, turned his head carefully, and saw the expressionless shadow sitting behind him.

Looking at the non smoking teacup beside her, it is obvious that she has been sitting there for some time... The boy smoked the corners of his mouth and his face drooped.

"Dear aunt phillanai, can you please not scare your timid nephew so much?"

Her royal highness took a slight look at her majesty, and looked at it with a sarcastic glance. The light was very dim, resembling the prison room, and then she put her gaze on Brandon's face.

Timid enough to hide in the night watchman's confidential archives and peek at the latest top secret information?

"Curiosity is human nature, just as we always want to know the follow-up development of the story." Brandon raised his mouth, narrowed his eyes into crescent teeth, and skillfully showed a naive smile: "it has nothing to do with timidity."

Fillonet's face was expressionless and his eyes looked even more ironic.

"These are imperial secrets, and no one has read the power apart from the two brothers," said the princess. "Root Infinit should have told you."

"Yes, he did." Brandon's smile grew louder and louder, but quickly degenerated from "naive and lovely" to a very rogue expression:

"But aren't you here, sister-in-law, so... Are we an accomplice?"

Her royal highness is not at all willing to talk to him.

"Well, as a reward for the black pot afterwards..." Brandon rolled his eyes and said, "I knew it would be like this":

"Can you tell me what happened on day 25?"

"On the 25th day... Byrne's whole army pulled out, did not march along the supply line, but rushed south, and was about to meet the Centaur's baggage team..."

Brandon's face flashed a trace of amazement, and then slightly raised the corner of his mouth: "smart... This guy, did he consciously detect something, or did he get information from where?"

"What do you mean?" there was a trace of confusion in fillonay's eyes.

"Centaur war, dwarf civil strife... Can my dear sister-in-law see any connection between two simultaneous events?"

The long princess was silent.

Brandon smiled more brightly.

"Time..." licked his lips, Brandon decided to give more tips to his dear sister-in-law: "don't you think the cooperation between these rebel dwarves and centaurs is too tacit?"

"Impossible. There is no existence in the world that can unite centaurs and dwarves. No one can."

"Yes..." Brandon shrugged and smiled playfully:

"But some people in this world are born for the 'impossible'."

"..." for his boasting, phillanai chose to ignore it.

This is a bold guess.

But if it is true that the invading centaurs and dwarves are only pawns used by each other to cover up their real purpose... The enemy Loren Turin has to face is too dangerous.

This is a chess player who jumps out of the chessboard and even controls the "chess player", a chess game outside the chess game; The life and death of tens of thousands of people, the survival of a principality and a race, for him, are only part of the promotion plan, or even a deliberate cover.

Perhaps his "former" Wizard adviser had guessed something, so he chose not to go north to meet Laszlo Varna, but to go south.

Yes, he guessed something, but he didn't dare to say, let alone say.

If all this is true, then Laszlo Varna and his 100000 boi Hussars are bait deliberately thrown by Loren to attract the enemy's attention... To force the chess player behind the scenes to appear.

This is a big bet... 100000 Hussars is Loren's bet. Drag the guy hiding behind to the gambling table!

"But this risk is the same for Lauren." Brandon frowned slightly:

"If the Centaur invasion is just a cover to lure him south to fight the dwarves... Byrne will start a new round of dwarf war, which is not just talk."

"At present, Byrne has just begun to prepare for war. Most lords go out with the army. Without them and the Duke himself, the execution of orders will be greatly reduced - such Byrne can never resist the dwarf invasion."

Loren Turin... He must know this, but he made a bet.

"We have to save him," Brandon said suddenly:

"Regardless of identity and status, he now represents the most powerful pillar of the Empire, and even the safety of the whole East and south of the Empire.

This guy is very rational most of the time, but occasionally he becomes very crazy... He can find the legendary niederhogg for an ethereal existence and a clue that is not a clue. What else can he do?

In addition, I know that it's not a day or two for Connor's brother and father to weaken Bain, but now is not the time - the situation is somewhat similar to the tenth generation. We need Bain to stand up and stabilize half of the Empire.

The existence of Byrne is always a threat to the authority of the Empire, but if Byrne falls, we will fight the Centaurs on the East saklan border and the dwarves on the ellemans hills.

Needless to say, the Principality of Arles in the South will be cut off from the Empire. We lose three principality, the southern frontier of the Empire and the horse ranch in the East.

We... Need a 'black Duke'! "

The reverberating words and the silent archives made the atmosphere a lot heavier.

Looking up, Brandon and fillonay looked at each other like water, showing a serious expression for the first time... It seems that only in this way can they let each other know their determination.

Her royal highness picked up her eyes, and the bright eyes of the fire seemed to pierce the hearts of the people in an instant.

"What you want is not to save him." fillonay shook his head, opened his red lips, and the cold voice clearly came into Brandon's ear:

"You're jealous of him."

Brandon grinned.

"Otherwise?" Brandon didn't care if his thoughts were seen through. Brandon was indifferent: "then again, isn't this what you want to see most, the emperor's brother, father, Ruth infinite... And my dear sister-in-law?"

"Otherwise, hehe... How could I sneak into the night watchman's archives so easily?"

He pursed his lips, but fillonay did not speak.

In this world, only her royal brother, akhat II, is the only person she can't see through.

If you want to ensure the stability of crown prince Connor's position, why give Brandon the opportunity to take power and build power?

If you want the two brothers to fight, why still restrict Brandon everywhere?

"Pa --!"

Looking at the file thrown into his arms, the contemplative phillanai raised his head: "what are you going to do?"

"I'm tired of watching other people's games - make a bet with me, sister phillanai?"

Brandon had a happy smile, and there was an unknown premonition in her royal highness.

"What are you betting on?"

"Zero winning rate and 100 disastrous defeat... See if I can break this record." the prince whispered, "if I lose, I guess I have no chance and nothing to say."

"If I win... Will you reconsider and give up the record of 'never marry'?"
