Han Jin had a lot of talents under his command. Lang Ning, the commander of Riptide, and Alexandre, the commander of the mountain soldiers, were both outstanding generals. As for Guevara, Jedis, and Majordomo Gail, they were all excellent in both military and political management. There were only a few people on the continent who could surpass them. Moreover, Han Jin's current sphere of influence was not large. He had only occupied one city. With these five people in charge, the Holy Crown City quickly became stable.
Because of the chaotic situation, all the cities on the continent had adopted a pan-military management method. The military power was much higher than the political power. Lang Ning had long been loyal to Han Jin, and Alexandre was rescued by Han Jin, so his loyalty was even higher than that of Lang Ning. The three people in the think tank headed by Guevara did not hold any actual positions in the military. Although they had a high status, their power was limited because of this. As the saying goes, whether others would listen to them depended on their reputation, and their reputation was determined by Han Jin's attitude. If Han Jin expressed his dislike for someone, that person would immediately be isolated by everyone. It was a delicate balance.
Han Jin was still willing to be a hands-off boss. Since he had successfully occupied the Holy Crown City, he had barely interfered in military and political affairs. Two days ago, he had only issued an order to appoint Yalina as the Legion Commander of the Magic Legion, and Hogan and Cain as the Vice Legion Commanders. At the same time, they would also be the Dean of the Magic Academy. In fact, Han Jin also wanted to let Sassoux take an important position in the Magic Legion. However, Sassoux's strength was not enough to convince the public. He also knew that although Sassoux appeared to be easy-going, he also had his own pride. If he forced it, not only would it put Sassoux in a difficult position, but it would also hurt Sassoux's self-esteem. Therefore, he could only give up on this idea.
However, Han Jin still had to attend the regular meeting every three days. There were many people in the meeting. The three people in the think tank were Lang Ning and Alexandre representing the army; Yalina, Cain, and Hogan representing the Magic Legion; Morrisons, Léger, Sassoux, Winston, Saxon, Chipango, Hallister, and so on. These people were the core of the whole group.
Han Jin never liked to talk nonsense, nor did he like to listen to nonsense. Therefore, Lang Ning, who was the first to speak, went straight to the point without any pretense or flattery.
To the west of the Holy Crown City, the other cities that were originally under the control of the Holy Crown City had almost all fallen. The scouts reported that almost all of those cities had their own Ancient Trees of Life. The cities were surrounded by green vegetation, and even under the test of the harsh winter, they were still full of vitality. Lang Ning had already sent messengers to the cities to the east of the Holy Crown City, and they were willing to pledge their loyalty to Han Jin. At the same time, Lang Ning made his own request. Because the Silver Pegasus Legion of the Elves had an absolute advantage in speed, the scouts had suffered a great loss. Out of a hundred of them, only a dozen could come back alive. Therefore, Lang Ning requested to stop the scouts immediately, or think of other ways.
"Every city has an Ancient Tree of Life?" Lang Ning had just finished his words when Guevara frowned and asked, "Are your people right?"
"It can't be wrong," Ronning replied in a solemn tone.
"Impossible!" Majordomo Gail shook his head. His attitude was the same as Guevara's. They both could not believe it. "If the Ancient Tree of Life could be planted at will, this continent would have long been ruled by the Elves."
"I know the reason," the Paladin Knight Adonis suddenly said.
Ever since the conflict between Adonis and Han Jin, those who were close to Han Jin were more or less disgusted with the Paladin Knight, which put Jeddes in a very awkward situation. Moreover, the rift between the two sides was getting deeper and wider. Whether or not he could make up for it in time depended on his own attitude. It could also be said that his choice would determine the future of the Holy See. With great responsibility came great pressure.
Everyone's eyes fell on Adonis, but Adonis was looking at Jeddes. After a while, he slowly said, "There is an Elven elder called Blanche who brought her tribe to Wild Willow City. They have the Moon Spring."
"Moon Spring? No wonder … "Guevara was suddenly enlightened.
"Blanche?" Han Jin was stunned. "She also came from the southwest like you?"
"Yes." Adonis nodded.
"You know her?" Yalina asked.
"Yes, she's a comrade who fought together." Han Jin smiled.
"I know that the Moon Spring can make the Seeds of Life sprout quickly, but I don't understand … What's in it for the Elves?" Majordomo Gail pondered and said, "Although their military strength is several times greater than ours, they don't have an advantage in other aspects. They should have gathered their forces together, but they took the initiative to divide their forces … This is simply …"
"Courting death?" Guevara smiled and said, "Maybe it's because they need to use facts to boost their morale. After all, the elves have never expanded so quickly for thousands of years. In just ten days, they have occupied two and a half provinces, which is thousands of miles of land."
"And the Elves have a habit. Without the Ancient Tree of Life, they don't dare to believe that the land belongs to them," Jeddes interrupted.
"But didn't they think about it? They can't defend it at all! "Lang Ning said.
"I have an explanation." Han Jin said faintly, "The Elves think that the enemy they are facing is Dismark, not us."
"That makes sense." Majordomo Gail paused and smiled. "Facing a coward, of course they don't have to worry about anything."
"But we can't launch a counterattack quickly." Lang Ning said, "We just incorporated Dismark's army, so the morale and morale are a bit unstable. I need at least two months! Kane, what about your Magic Legion? "
"It's easier for us here than it is for you, because most of the mages are smart people." Kane smiled. "Plus, we now have a Magister Legion Commander, a Magister …"
Everyone laughed kindly. Yalina blushed and waved her hand. "Actually, I don't care about anything. I'm relying on Kane and Hogan." In fact, Yalina's current achievements had already surpassed her father, Grand Duke Solomon. She was both the Commander of the Magic Legion and the Dean of the Magic Academy. Her position was high and glorious. When Solomon was Yalina's age, he was only a Grand Mage. Although he was respected, he didn't have much power.
"Don't count me in. Hogan is the one who has it the hardest. I'm just a troublemaker." Kane smiled.
Hogan's face was also red, but Yalina's was shy, while Hogan's was excited. This was a meeting of the highest level, and his name was mentioned repeatedly. If he was in Cold Shadow City, how could he be qualified?!
"We don't even need to mobilize an army," Guevara said slowly. "One God of War is enough."
"God of War?" Lang Ning was stunned.
"Yes, Hallman, the president of the Chamber of Commerce in Isolated Cliff City, sent us more than a hundred Magic Crystal Cannons. They sent many high-grade mercenaries to escort them and carefully avoided the territory of the elves. It's winter now, and the elves only like to hide in the Ancient Tree of Life. They won't go into the ice and snow easily. If there are no accidents … they'll arrive in a few days. We'll take down all the Magic Crystal Cannons in the Holy Crown City and install them on the God of War. Hehe … more than six hundred Magic Crystal Cannons.
"Take down all the Magic Crystal Cannons in the Holy Crown City? Then what about here? "Lang Ning asked hurriedly.
"I'm not Dismark," Guevara said softly. "I only like to attack, not defend."
"But …" Lang Ning still wanted to say something.
"That's it." Han Jin interrupted. "The Magic Crystal Cannons are the same no matter where they are installed. Lang Ning, as long as you change your mind slightly, you'll be able to accept it." Although Han Jin didn't know much about military affairs, he was a modern man. Installing the cannons in a fixed place was a practice in the age of great navigation. In modern warfare, almost all cannons could be moved. Therefore, he agreed with Guevara's proposal.
Hearing Han Jin's words, Lang Ning no longer objected. After all, a shopkeeper had absolute authority even if he didn't do anything himself.
"Hogan," Han Jin said.
"Yes." Hogan hurriedly stood up.
Han Jin gestured for Hogan to sit down. "More than six hundred Magic Crystal Cannons. Can the God of War fit them all?"
Hogan thought for a moment. "Then we can only remove the original cannons and think of another way to fix them."
"Okay, I'll leave it to you."
"No problem. Don't worry, master." Hogan immediately straightened his chest.
"There's one more thing." Lang Ning said. His gaze fell on Morrisons. "Before we entered the Abyss World, I had already sent people to Black Raven City to pick up Miss Qi Li and Miss Sylvia, but … there's been no news of them."
"Elves shouldn't make things difficult for a few women, right?" Sassoux said.
"Probably … not." Lang Ning hesitated. At this time, no matter how he answered, it would be useless and wouldn't change anything. He could only choose to comfort them.
Morrisons looked a little uneasy. On one hand, it was because he was worried. On the other hand, it was because this was his personal matter. It was inappropriate to talk about it in such a formal meeting. Of course, he was also very grateful that Lang Ning valued him so much.
"If they weren't stopped, where should they be now?" Han Jin asked.
"They should be there soon," Lang Ning said.
"Anyway, I don't have anything else to do these days. I'll go out and look for them," Han Jin said.
"Raphael, this … this is somewhat inappropriate …" Morrisons University was anxious. Although he and Han Jin had known each other for a long time, it could be said that he had watched Han Jin grow up from the beginning to the end, but he had always been careless and had also noticed the growing gap between the two of them. After all, Han Jin was the head of the entire group. It was very inappropriate for him to personally go out and look for two insignificant people.
"Inappropriate? Qi Li and Sylvia are both my friends. Tell me, what's inappropriate about it? "Han Jin was really angry. His brows were tightly knitted together.
"Morrisons, don't worry." Guevara hurriedly tried to smooth things over. "Let Raphael go find them. It's more effective than us sending an army. They'll be fine."
"Next, let's talk about Depew City." Majordomo Gail and Guevara cooperated well. As soon as Guevara finished smoothing things over, Majordomo Gail changed the topic. "We should send someone to form an alliance with Depew City. I think that Lord Malith of Depew City will not refuse, but … we have to be prepared. This is only a temporary alliance."
"That's right." Guevara said. "The day we defeat the elves might be the day Lord Malith betrays the alliance."
"Being sandwiched between us and Chesam, Lord Malith's situation is indeed very confusing." Jeddes laughed. "But, how do you know that Malith will definitely join Chesam? Joining us is also a good choice."
"That's why I said 'maybe'." Guevara also laughed.
This was the fundamental difference between Guevara and the younger generation like Lang Ning and Alin Sanret. Lang Ning believed that the elves were their biggest enemy, so he racked his brains and racked his brains for a solution. Guevara and the others, on the other hand, were not worried about the elves. They talked and laughed about the future as if it was nothing. Their smiles and words gave the people around them a great sense of confidence. It was as if they could destroy the elves with a single breath.
Many people knew that they had to look down on the enemy strategically, but whether they could do it or not was another matter. Guevara and the others not only did they do it, but they did it very naturally, without any trace of deliberate intention. They also influenced the mood of the young people around them, making them feel relaxed and think that the elves were nothing special.
Han Jin's wings were fully developed. With the help of the three think tanks, he already had the qualifications and strength to soar up to 90,000 miles.
"Dominique, what do you think?" Majordomo Gail's gaze fell on Dominique.
Because Dominique's body was too big, it was too eye-catching to sit in the inner circle. She could only sit in the outermost circle with Chipango, Hallister, and the others. She did not expect Majordomo Gail to ask her. She was stunned for a while before she replied, "I think … Lord Malith has a higher chance of joining us."
"Why?" Han Jin asked.
"Because … because Chesam …" Dominique did not know how to say it.
"Because Chesam's brain is not normal?" Guevara laughed.
Everyone laughed. A guy who had been married thousands of times and held thousands of funerals. It would be strange to say that he was normal.
Dominique also laughed, then nodded vigorously.
"I agree with Dominique." Guevara said.
"I also agree, but we can't wait for Lord Malith to join us. So … Lord Raphael, we should do something, but there are some things that we can't do." Majordomo Gail's gaze fell on Han Jin, "You … should understand what I mean, right?"
"You mean … those nobles?" Han Jin said in a playful tone.
"Yes." Majordomo Gail's expression was very serious, which was a sharp contrast to Han Jin's.
On the issue of how to deal with the original nobles in the Holy Crown City, Han Jin and the three-man think tank had different opinions. Han Jin wanted to uproot them and let all the people in the Holy Crown City feel a new atmosphere, while Guevara and the others thought that they should adopt a gentle approach and not make a big fuss. To their relief, Han Jin only put forward his own ideas, but did not force his subordinates to do as he said. Instead, he left the decision-making power to the three-man think tank. However, the more Han Jin delegated power, the more the three-man think tank could not be careless. They had been trying to persuade Han Jin and let Han Jin truly understand their concerns.
"Raphael, if we touch the nobles in the Holy Crown City, what will the nobles in the Depew City think?" Guevara said slowly, "Dominique is right. Lord Malith should be more inclined to us, but if we really do it, he will not hesitate to side with Chesam!"
"Unfair … doesn't mean unreasonable." Jeddis said softly, "Lord Raphael, you have been to the Southwest. Do you know why those lords are so determined to oppose Nicholas? They would rather die than surrender. It is because every time Nicholas occupies a city, he will completely cut off the nobles' roots! In fact … I also think that the world should be changed, but not now. We have to wait until we can control all the situation, then we can try. Nicholas is changing and walking at the same time. I can attest to how dangerous and difficult his road is. If we want to catch up with him, we can't change anything now. " Speaking of this, Jeddis sighed. He suddenly realized that he and Nicholas had the same goal, but the road they chose was different. Nicholas' way was too cruel and bloody, which he did not like. The so-called "different roads lead to the same destination" could be used to describe him and Nicholas. However, because of their different paths, they were bound to become mortal enemies.
Han Jin was silent for a long time, then slowly nodded, "I understand. I will leave this matter to you. I have no objection."
Guevara and the others looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Lord Raphael, are you going to find Qi Li and Sylvia?" Majordomo Gail asked, "When are you leaving?" In fact, Majordomo Gail thought that it was completely unnecessary for Han Jin to find them himself, but he could not object. Otherwise, he would offend many people for no reason. At the very least, he would offend all the younger generation, including Han Jin himself.
"Tomorrow. Why?"
"I suggest that you don't go too far. After all, that is the territory of the elves."
"There won't be a problem." Han Jin smiled, "The fact that Isolated Cliff City could send over hundreds of magic crystal cannons proves that there are too many loopholes in the elves' defense. They have just gained a foothold, haven't they?"
"Let Yalina accompany you," Majordomo Gail said calmly. "If they encounter any danger, it will be difficult for you to take care of them. With Yalina's help, it will be much easier. Don't worry, the elves don't have the ability to fly. Yalina will definitely be able to protect herself. "
"That … is good." Han Jin nodded, "It seems that I need to prepare first."
