GOR Chapter 432 Most Feared Kind of People
Philip's undisguised humiliation caused Audrey's body to tremble uncontrollably. She could feel a fire burning within her heart.
Fear and humiliation, these two emotions intertwined in a complicated manner. Audrey finally raised her head and looked at Philip. "Mr Philip, may I ask, are you going to kill us?"
Philip did not say anything.
Audrey did her best to calm herself down … … She suddenly had a strange thought: Perhaps, when faced with this unreasonable General, her words and tactics would be ineffective. After all, one cannot reason with a barbarian.
But this Philip is someone from the civilized world! He should have his own concerns and would not act without thinking of the consequences.
"If you have decided to kill us, then please!" Dai Li tried her best to make her voice sound colder and calmer. "But don't forget, after your butcher's knife falls today, the first thing you have to do when you return is to rebel immediately! Use the power of a province to fight against the entire Empire! I believe, even if the Tulip Family is powerful, in the end, you will only be the next Northwest Army! "
Philip smiled.
He felt that this girl before him was indeed quite amazing. Despite her fearful appearance, she was still able to maintain her composure and say those words. Moreover … … as a fledgling, for her to almost fall for her first scheme is already quite good.
"All right, General Longbottom, put away your knife. You will frighten the honorable lady." Hearing Philip's words, Audrey breathed a sigh of relief. But in the next moment, Philip's words caused her to feel anxious again.
"However, Miss Audrey, I believe you should know why I am here … … I am not a person who likes to see blood. But when it comes to killing, I will not be soft-hearted."
Philip walked over to the three captives kneeling on the ground. After giving them a glance, he coldly said. "They are the three escaped slaves from Anglia City? Humph … … Miss Audrey, you have done well this time. "
At this point, Daley was rather straightforward. Since she couldn't escape, she didn't hesitate and confessed everything.
Philip listened quietly, and it was as he had expected. "Hmm, so you've bribed the garrison officer in Big Ear City? Hmph, not bad, to think of such a way to sneak into Anglia City as a slave. "
However, Philip had another question. Even if they managed to sneak into Anglia City, the production process there was divided into several assembly lines. According to the information, each of these three people had mixed in with different programs over the past few months. Thus, it was indeed possible for them to piece together a complete technology … However, regardless of whether it was the gunpowder or the flying broom, it was still possible. They were all extremely complicated things. It could be said that most people wouldn't understand even if they were told.
"These three people are magic talents nurtured by the family … They all have the qualifications to be magic apprentices," Daley explained honestly.
Philip raised his eyebrows. "Hmph, you're indeed bold! You actually sent three precious magic apprentices to disguise as lowly slaves and prisoners to sneak into our headquarters. "
At this point, there was no doubt about it.
Daley thought for a moment and said: "Mr. Philip, I admit defeat in this matter. I can hand these three people over to you so that your secrets won't be leaked. But I still have to warn you, there is no use in killing me here. It will only lead to your Duke being forced into a dead end! Civilized people should follow the rules of civilized people's game. "
Philip smiled. "Oh? What rules of civilized game are you referring to? "
"Let me and the princess go back." Miss Daley said calmly, "We're just two women. Killing us won't do you any good. Moreover, I don't think the Duke wants to bear the crime of murdering the princess and princess. Also … … I promise, I didn't copy any of your secrets. If you don't believe me, you can search me. "
Saying that, she opened her arms. This action was indeed somewhat seductive. The young girl's plump body was wrapped in a close-fitting long dress, and she had an expression that said she was at his mercy.
But Philip just smiled. "Miss Daley, I believe you didn't copy any of it. Copying such a secret will only increase the possibility of it being leaked! You want to obtain our secret weapon because you want to improve your own strength. But if the secret is leaked and everyone on the continent knows, then it will be worthless. Don't worry, I won't let anyone search you. "
"Then let me and the princess go back," Daley said calmly. "I admit defeat in this matter. Victory and defeat are common in a fight between two families. Mr. Philip, you won't start an all-out war just because of a small conflict, will you? "
Philip smiled. "That's right, any conflict between families is a matter of reciprocity. It is full of compromise and tolerance. If an all-out war started because of a small conflict, then all the major families on the continent would have been wiped out long ago. But Miss Daley, why should I let you go? "
Daley opened her mouth. "You … …"
"I believe you didn't copy it, but I also believe that you should have memorized this secret. Miss Daley, do you think I am a fool? If I were you, I would have killed these three fellows long ago! " Philip sneered. "I also believe that the legendary talented Miss Daley is not only accomplished in the arts! I think that since your family can cultivate their own magic talents, then Miss Daley, you should also have a certain level of attainment in the field of magic! The formulas and secrets of those magic weapons. Even if ordinary people saw them, they wouldn't be able to understand them. But you, for someone who is quite accomplished in the field of magic, you must have memorized them. You must have memorized it already, right? "
Daley's face turned pale.
Philip said coldly, "You deliberately left these three alive on the road because you already knew that we would catch up to you after discovering them. You already thought about it. In a place like the Northwest, there is no escape! If we catch up to you, you will simply admit defeat and hand the three over to us. Then, after saying a few polite words and patting your honorable butt, you can swagger away, right? Anyway, as long as we get the secret back, we have no reason to kill you and the noble princess! This is your last resort. Miss Daley, if I am wrong, please point it out. "
Daley was speechless.
Philip's words were like sharp swords, stabbing into her heart! She had to admit that Philip's guess was very correct!
Daley had indeed received magic lessons since she was young. She also had a considerable amount of magic knowledge, but because of her innate talent, she could not learn magic. However, she had the basic attainments of a magic apprentice.
Therefore, when the three of them brought the secret back, she immediately asked for the complete formula. The formula was already in her head! Keeping the three of them alive and bringing them along with her was indeed like what Philip had said. She had calculated that she would most likely be discovered and hunted down by the other party. However, due to her identity, as long as she handed them over, the other party would definitely not dare to really kill her. As for himself, he could also swagger away with the secret formula that he had completely grasped in his mind!
With a faint mocking smile, Philip looked at the pale Daley and said, "Noble Consort, since I have already guessed it, do you think I will still let you go?"
After saying that, Philip ordered in a low voice, "Men! Get Miss Daley into the carriage. Then, get the two noble ladies to follow us back to Loulan City! "
"You …" This time, Daley was really scared. "Philip! You have detained the Consort and the Princess. Do you think you can keep this a secret? "
Philip smiled. "I have never thought of keeping it a secret."
After saying that, he waved his hand and a few soldiers rushed forward. Without any explanation, they stuffed Daley into the carriage and closed the door. Another two soldiers sat on the coachman's seat and drove the carriage back to Loulan City.
Daley, who was in the carriage, was pale. Princess Louise, who was beside her, looked calm. She sighed softly and said, "Daley …"
"What?" Daley forced herself to answer.
"I thought of my brother, Chen. Back then, he said something to me."
"What is it?"
Princess Louise said faintly, "He once said to me: In this world, there are some games that only men can play. It is best for women not to participate in them."
After saying that, the princess leaned back into the cushion and closed her eyes. She did not even look at Daley.

Looking at the carriage under the protection of the cavalrymen, Philip's face gradually turned gloomy. Longbottom, who was beside him, walked over. "Philip, what do we do now?"
"Hmm?"
"Hey, don't think I am an idiot!" Longbottom leaned closer and said in a low voice, "Although I am a little braver, I still know the stakes! Once the matter of detaining a princess and a consort is exposed, how long do you think we can last? "
Philip laughed bitterly. "Longbottom, do you know? If the enemy I face is very smart or very stupid, I am not afraid. I am only afraid of one kind of people … "
Hmm?
Longbottom was confused. It was easy to understand why he was not afraid of stupid enemies. The stupider the enemy, the easier it was to deal with them. But why was he not afraid of smart enemies?
"Because a truly smart enemy will often leave some leeway for things to turn around! They will not take things too far! This way, even if everyone ends up in a deadlock, it will not end up in a situation where both sides suffer losses. This is the way smart people do things. But … I am afraid of one kind of people. "
"Which kind?"
Philip laughed bitterly. "It is the kind of person that Daley is! This kind of person is a little smart, but also a little stupid. A little smarter than a truly stupid person, but also a little more stupid than a truly smart person. She clearly only has a second-rate IQ, but she will make serious mistakes on key issues. In the end, she will drag herself and the enemy into hell together! "
He looked at Philip and patted the general's shoulder. "If this girl did not memorize the formula in her head. Or rather, she did not understand magic. Then this formula is something that ordinary people would not be able to understand! But she is stupid. Relying on her status, she memorized the formula in her heart. In the end, I did not want to catch her, but I had to catch her! This is called stupidity! Because she does not understand that politics is a game of mutual compromise! Her stupid way of doing things did not leave any leeway, but she forced herself and us into a dead end! "
After saying this, Philip purposely pulled Longbottom to the back of the group. Seeing that there was no one around, Philip lowered his voice and said to Longbottom in a serious tone, "General, I want to say a few words to you. These words aren't official orders, they're just words between colleagues."
Longbottom's eyes flashed. "Say it."
Philip's face was gloomy, but his tone was unprecedentedly serious. "I can tell you without hesitation, General, we are in big trouble this time! This damned woman, because of her cleverness, it is very likely that she will push both our families to the edge of a cliff! So, although the Duke is not in the mansion right now and we cannot get any orders or instructions from him, I personally have a suggestion that I want to tell you. "
Philip deliberately paused for a moment, then he stared into Longbottom's eyes, gritted his teeth, and said something that made the two of them tremble in fear!
"Prepare for war!"
The corner of Longbottom's eye twitched. He looked at Philip and saw only decisiveness in this weak young man's eyes!
Philip said in a deep voice, "After we go back, I want you to immediately gather the family's army and prepare for war. I will also allocate the relevant resources. At the same time, increase the defense of our military stronghold on the eastern front. All the family's army will be on the first level of combat readiness …"
The two men were silent. After a long time, Philip looked at the sky and sighed. "I hope our preparations will not come in handy. Because now is not the time to do so. "
