Chapter 529 [The Road to Xiaya (2) Duoduoluo's Crisis]
"Black Water Department." Sophie pondered for a moment and glanced at Hildo: "So, are you also the veteran of the first time when His Excellency Hasting established the Black Flag Army?"
"Yes, when the Hastings established the army, I had already served under the command of the adults." Hildo raised his chest and said proudly: "I have been serving under the command of the adults for ten years!"
Sophie nodded: "So, what you said, among your army, thirteen tribes have already been loyal to Lord Hasting, then... Your army went south to invade our country and occupied Nordsshire..."
"This is a war." Hildo said coldly: "Nanzheng is the order of His Majesty the Emperor of God. As an Odin man, you cannot refuse the summons of His Majesty the Emperor of God."
"In other words, although you are loyal to Hasting, you cannot refuse the orders of the Emperor Odin?" Sophie smiled and said lightly: "Then, if your loyal Lord Hasting has any conflict with His Majesty the Emperor Odin..."
Hildo's face immediately became very ugly.
Green coughed at the right time and interrupted: "Chief of Staff, the situation is quite special now. The Black Flag Army has always had some secret agreements with us. But now the situation has changed... Inside the Odin Empire, now...well, some political turmoil has occurred."
"Oh?" Sophie's eyes lit up.
"Just a few days ago, General Hasting was injured in the army, and the three hundred personal guards around him were almost completely injured. Then, news came from the Odin Empire that the Odin Empire had officially announced that eight tribes, including the Black Water Division, had rebelled... These eight tribes were among the thirteen tribes who secretly loyal to Hasting. So..." Green deliberately shut up his mouth when he said this.
"I understand." Sophie nodded: "But, as far as I know, General Hasting has always been known as the God of Odin, and his strength is even more unfathomable. He will be seriously injured under the escort of hundreds of personal guards in his army. So the person who injured General Hasting is..."
A hint of panic appeared on Hildo's face and he bit his teeth hard. However, after a while, he still said slowly: "In the empire, only His Majesty's prince, His Highness Garling...or..."
"Or" the following words, although Hildo did not say them, everyone in the room could understand what he meant!
The God Emperor Odin! That terrible existence took action personally?!
"The reason why our Blackwater tribe and other tribes are loyal to General Hasting is not really planning to treason. We just united and resisted the enslavement of the five major tribes. We did not dare to betray the empire or betray His Majesty the Emperor of God, but now..."
"But now, you have no choice." Sophie's soft words immediately changed Hildo's face.
The God Emperor Odin actually took action himself. It is not difficult to understand that the most direct and effective way to eliminate the Hasting group that has already threatened his empire is to attack Hasting himself. Hasting is known as the God of War of Odin, and his greatest capital is his prestige and undefeated halo. But once Hasting is injured by hundreds of guards in his army, then... he is afraid his prestige will be greatly hit. At the same time, an order from Odin to declare eight tribes rebellion was heard, which would be a death talisman to dismantle the Black Flag Army!
There are thirteen tribes loyal to Hasting, but only eight of them are declared rebellious in China. This approach is undoubtedly very sinister and vicious.
Just such a move can easily split the inside of the Black Flag Army! The thirteen tribes loyal to Hasting, those who were declared rebellious, and those who were not declared rebellious, will definitely be suspicious from now on! They will never coexist again!
Either a complete rebellion or... it is an internal strife!
"The domestic order has been banned by Lord Hasting. Now the connection between the Black Flag Army and the domestic one has been completely cut off by the adults. All messengers from the country have been secretly sent by the adults to capture and kill, but the news may not be able to continue. Once the domestic news reaches the army, the morale of the army may be unstable." Hildo is obviously a rude man who is not good at striking and striking. He actually directly told the dilemma of letting go in front of others.
"What about you?" Sophie smiled and said, "Mr. Hildo, you..."
"Our Blackwater and some other friends have no choice. Even if Odin has declared us as rebellious, we can only continue to be loyal to Lord Hasting, because there is only a dead end to return to China." Hildo said lightly: "You are not Odins. You Byzantines will not understand the cruelty of the war between tribes in our Odin, and what the tribes declared rebellious will end. Our tribes will be expelled from their territory, the strong men will become hard labor, and women, children, young and old will become slaves. There is even a cruel practice in Odin. In order to prevent the rebellious tribes from reviving, the victors will carry out bloody cleaning of the defeated tribes, and all children who are above the wheel will be killed!"
"Then now your country..." Sophie frowned.
Hildo's expression suddenly became dark, and a hint of sadness appeared in his eyes: "The news in China has been heard for a lot of days. I'm afraid... Now our tribes have begun to be cruelly cleaned, and our homeland has probably been burned down. The elderly, children and women who are staying at home have already..."
Sophie sighed softly.
This is Odin.
Odin people always act like this: bloody, cruel, and direct!
They rarely do anything conspiring or conspiracy, but like to use this most direct and straightforward method to completely cleanse their enemies with blood!
Even in Sophie's view, the practice of these Odins sending people to contact the Northern Army was too naive and stupid.
A smart approach is definitely not to tell the other party frankly what kind of desperate situation he was in at the beginning. At least he should first make some hypocritical concealment... If you go up, let the other party clearly know that you are in a desperate situation. Wouldn't it be that you don't even have any capital for negotiation?
"So, now, your plan is..." Sophie had a clear idea in her heart and glanced at Green.
Green coughed and said slowly: "The Black Flag Army has set off. Lord Hasting has led 8,000 elite troops, sent troops from the capital of Nords and moved closer to Mor County. He is currently stationed on the riverside of the borders of the two counties. Lord Hildo is here, he is ordered to contact us, and then..."
"I understand." Sophie stood up and smiled, "Her Sirdo, you must have been very tired all the way, so please go down and rest first. I believe you can understand that this matter is of great importance, and our Northern Army also needs to make some careful consideration to answer your army's request, so..."
Hildo stood up, frowned and looked at the delicate girl in front of him, and then looked at Green: "Before I came, Lord Hasting's orders told me to meet General Xia Leiming, so..."
"I'm sorry, General Charles Schialeming has not returned from inspecting Corsica County, so I'm afraid you won't see the general this time. But please believe that our Northern Army will definitely give you an answer as soon as possible about this matter."
As he said that, Green had made a "please" gesture.
Hildo nodded in disappointment. He picked up a wide black cloak from the chair next to him and put it on. The thick hat completely blocked his appearance. Then Green summoned his personal guard captain and took Hildo down to rest.
"That's how it is." Green looked at Sophie: "Does Chief of Staff have any suggestions?"
"First, Hildo said just now. Hasting brought eight thousand elite troops to the border between More and Nords... And according to the information I have, the entire Black Flag Army's strength should be more than 30,000. Even if the auxiliary soldiers were removed - as far as I know, there are very few such auxiliary soldiers in the Odin army. But Hasting only has eight thousand people now. Can I understand that Hasting can no longer control the entire Black Flag Army? The only thing he can control is that the eight thousand people left in his hands. These eight thousand people are his confidant?"
Sophie's words made Green nod: "My guess is consistent with the Chief of Staff."
Green then smiled bitterly: "I understand the Odin people. The war between the tribes of the Odin people is indeed very cruel. I also believe that those small tribes may secretly be loyal to Hasting, but this kind of loyalty is actually nothing more than those small tribes who choose Hasting, a person who is quite prestigious in Odin as their protective umbrella and representative of their interests in order to seek survival. But I can be sure that in the event of a desperate situation, those Odin people will definitely not have the courage to betray their God Emperor! In the Odin Empire, the prestige of the Odin God Emperor is something that we, like Byzantines, cannot understand. Almost every Odin person, worships their God Emperor as a god."
Sophie nodded: "So, once eight tribes were declared rebellious in China, Hasting himself might also know very well that even if he had a great prestige among the Black Flag Army, if he declared himself rebellious in China, then a considerable number of people in the Black Flag Army would immediately turn to the Divine Emperor without hesitation? He already understood that he could no longer control the entire army, so... he simply gave up most of the army that he was not sure about, and chose the most secure way to take away the elites of his confidant and direct line."
Speaking of this, Sophie suddenly looked solemn: "I still have a question. I really can't understand... Why did the Emperor Odin do this?"
She sighed: "I mean, God Emperor Odin, why did he choose to cut off Hasting's wings at this time? This time is so strange. The Odin Empire went south to invade our country. Although the Chixue Army was defeated, the other two lines have achieved great results. The civil strife in our country is now a good time for the Odin people to expand their results. Even if Hasting secretly gathered some strength and made Odin feel threatened in the country, this kind of cleaning move would not be done sooner or later, but he chose now..."
Speaking of this, Sophie's tone became more and more bizarre: "In my opinion, a country's power, especially a wise power, often chooses to cut off a powerful group that threatens itself, or is smarter. It is only in two situations to do it: the first case, the group has shown signs of danger and can really threaten the rule of the power. Otherwise, the power will not choose to do such a large-scale purge. But obviously, Hasting and the Black Flag Army do not meet this point. Indeed, Hasting himself is known as the number one Odin, and is known as Odin Wu.
The name of God is also an elite. However... the position of the Odin God Emperor in the hearts of the Odin people cannot be shaken. For the Odin people, the Odin God Emperor is a god-like existence. This kind of god-like status is definitely not something that Hasting, a so-called "Odin God of War" can be shaken. Moreover, from the scale of the Black Flag Army... the entire Black Flag Army has only 30,000 people. Such a small force is really hard to say what a huge threat to the huge Odin Empire. You must know that with the supreme prestige of the Odin God Emperor in Odin, let alone the 30,000 Black Flag Army, even if it is 100,000 people, it is difficult to really threaten the rule of the God Emperor, so..."
Sophie's eyes became brighter and she slowly said: "Then, the second possibility...the power changes have occurred in the power of those in power!! When the previous generation of power gave up the power of the next generation, in order to ensure the stability of the rule, they would clean up some unstable factors with iron fist! So..."
Green immediately changed his expression: "The Chief of Staff means that the country of the Odin Empire..."
"Who knows, maybe... the God Emperor in the Odin Empire is no longer the one we are familiar with."
Sophie's eyes emitted a strange light.
...
If Shaya was here at this moment, she would have been shocked by this young girl again.
The abdication of the God Emperor Hannegan of Odin is still a secret for the entire world. The truth of the meeting between Charia and Hannegan has not been told to others, and this is also a silent tacit understanding between the two. In this world, not many people know that the terrible strong man in the north has broken free from the shackles of thirty years and has set foot in the continent again, and not many people know that the strong man has lost the seemingly supreme title of the throne.
...
"Well, the changes in the Odin Empire don't need to be considered for the time being. The problem before us is - the Black Flag Army." Green frowned and looked at Sophie: "Shaya is not here, military affairs and government affairs are the leaders of you and me. Is the Black Flag Army a big problem? Although we seem to have some family background, we have land in three counties, tens of thousands of troops, and thousands of elite cavalry. However, the surrounding enemies are surrounded, and the so-called foreign aid is also far away in the imperial capital. And now, from the order of sending troops from the imperial capital, the men in the imperial capital mostly just want to use our Northern Army as cannon fodder. So..."
"Take them."
Sophie said this firmly, which made Green's face a little moved.
He was not surprised that Sophie would reach such a conclusion, but... he said so simply and so decisively without hesitation, which was beyond Green's expectations.
Looking at Green's strange eyes, Sophie smiled coldly: "Can there be any other better way? In fact, General Green, you and I know very well. Everyone is inclined to accept this Black Flag Army. Instead of sitting here for a long time, our heads hurt, and in the end they will make the same decision? Accepting this Black Flag Army is the best choice we can make at the moment."
"But……"
"I understand your concerns. In fact, in my heart, there are no such concerns. But after all, it is the Black Flag Army. Hum..." Sophie smiled with a mocking voice: "The Black Flag Army's reputation is prominent, the invincible iron army in the world. It's ridiculous, most of the reputation of this Iron Army is written with the blood of our Byzantine army. With the lives of countless Byzantine soldiers, many famous generals were defeated by Hasting, and finally completed the myth of the Black Flag Army's undefeated. Now... this enemy who once gave us a headache and made us nightmares has to surrender, so why don't people sigh at the ridiculousness of fate?"
Green and Junker couldn't help but look at each other, and both felt a sense of emotion in their hearts.
Both of them are soldiers, and Green is a standard emperor. Although Junker has always been a secret army of the royal family, he has carried out many secret military aircraft and military missions. How can he not know the huge threat to the Byzantine Empire by the Black Flag Army and the Odin Martial God.
After the experience, the Black Flag Army had defeated many Byzantine troops, many flag regiments and corps that had once had a glorious history were destroyed under the iron hooves of the Black Flag Army, and many famous and famous imperial generals who had once been heroic and vile, all fell under the triangular battle guns of Hasting.
Even the few famous generals in the empire, such as Adrick, were unable to get a bargain from the Black Flag Army when he commanded the empire's first elite cavalry. And Ruhr, who had just escaped safely from the Black Flag Army, was already praised as a famous general.
For all the soldiers in the empire, the name Black Flag Army is really a lingering shame.
"I believe that Hasting can bring out the Eight Thousand Black Flag Army, I believe that Hasting must be the elite among the elite. The Eight Thousand brave and good at fighting, savage and fierce elite Odin warriors, and they are already desperate and in desperate situations, they are completely loyal to Hasting alone... Can we control such a force?" Green sighed.
At this time, Junke also interjected: "There is Hasting. This man is unruly and has always been domineering in the Odin Empire. He can be called a hero of a generation. Just imagine, even a person like the Odin God Emperor cannot completely surrender him or get his complete loyalty. If such a person surrenders to us, I am afraid..."
Sophie smiled and said, "Both are both mature words, but I have other opinions."
The weak woman stood up, paced back and forth in the room for a moment, and slowly said, "Aren't we worried about the military order of the imperial capital? Now the arrival of the eight thousand black flag troops is our best solution! These eight thousand people are tigers and wolves, but as long as we control their supplies, we will naturally have a way to drive them. If it really doesn't work, take a step back and say, and directly drive them to the territory of a warlord governor, let them die on their own, and that
Some warlords beat us to death by killing them, but they will do all the benefits and harm to us. Besides, you have forgotten one thing. Now is the weakest time for the Black Flag Army. Think about it, the eight thousand most elite Odin warriors who are invincible. This is a sharp sword. If it is used for us, we are doing dangerous things. Do we just want to abandon such a sharp knife because we are afraid that the knife is too sharp and that we are afraid of cutting our hands?”
After all, Green is the commander and has a higher vision. He sighed first: "The Chief of Staff is right... We are actually already moved. Instead of looking around here and thinking about it for a long time, we will still make the decision to accept them. This is indeed our best choice. If the Eight Thousand Black Flag Army makes good use of this, it can indeed open up a new situation in the stalemate in the north. I support the Chief of Staff's opinion."
Junke sighed and bowed to the two of them, "The two are in charge of military and political affairs. Since both of them have the same meaning, I naturally support it. However... how to accept them and how to operate this matter requires caution."
Sophie immediately said: "How to operate this matter, of course, Lord Green came to handle it. After all, this is military affairs. I don't know military affairs, so Lord Green has to work harder. It's just that the news is still for the time being. Well... I have another idea."
"Please say." Green respected this woman more and more.
"For such a big thing, Hasting sent someone to contact us. Should we also send someone to show our sincerity? The other party sent someone, but we didn't even see our commander, I'm afraid that the other party would have any misunderstandings. So... the candidates sent to the Black Flag Army are not as light as possible. Although Lord Green is the leader of the army, you are now in charge of the new city and are in charge of the entire army and cannot be moved easily. So, why not let me go."
"you?"
"Sophie?!"
Two men changed color at the same time.
Such a delicate and weak woman personally rushed to the camp of the Black Flag Army? Not to mention that the two sides have some contact now, but after all, it is hard to distinguish between us. Such a delicate woman went to the nest of eight thousand tigers and wolves, which was also...
"No need to say more about the two. I have been thinking about this matter. It is most appropriate for me to go. First, my identity is not an official official position. Speaking of which, I am just a staff member of General Xia Leiming. If I go, I will not cause too much noise. After all, an informal official is convenient for keeping it confidential. Second, since General Green cannot act without any action, then I go, in my identity, can also show our sincerity and respect for them. After all, I am also the chief of staff of General Xia Ya. From a certain perspective, I can be regarded as the representative of General Xia Ya. As for the third..."
Sophie, the girl smiled mysteriously: "I am also very interested in this famous Odin martial god. I will meet this legendary figure and see what kind of person he is, so I can have a clear idea in my heart."
Her words had already been said so much that Green and Juncker felt that they could not argue, so they could only agree silently.
However, Junke suddenly sighed and muttered something in a low voice.
Sophie and Green looked at Junker, but Junker smiled bitterly: "I'm not against it...but, I suddenly had the idea of being very jealous of that boy, Charles Leming. This guy suddenly disappeared, disappeared, and threw a bunch of stalls to us, but we had to do our best to help him handle all these bad things, fearing that he was not fully prepared. But that guy shook his hands and ignored everything, and enjoyed his achievements - from ancient times to the present, he had never seen such an easy boss."
...
To be continued...
