October 0, 161 AD, Calradia.

In the castle of Korau, King Wilson stared at Lyman in front of him and asked in an unbelievable and somewhat angry tone: "What did you say?"

Lyman took his time and said, "I said, I hope to use a few Gotei Guards as bargaining chips for the plan."

King Wilson took a deep breath. This was so loud that Leman actually asked King Wilson directly for someone. The person he wanted was the Guards that King Wilson had always been proud of. And he listened to him.

In his tone, he called the Gotei Guard members he was planning to acquire as "chips". I'm afraid he was going to carry out a mission with a narrow escape from death.

King Wilson turned to ask Xie Feng who was standing aside, "Who is this person you brought to me?"

Xie Feng was distracted when he was called by King Wilson. He immediately woke up and asked blankly: "What?" In fact, it is no wonder that Xie Feng was suddenly distracted. Anyone here would see the two of them with their faces completely full.

People wearing masks can't help but get distracted during conversations.

King Wilson sighed and asked again: "Let me ask, who is this strange person you brought back to me?"

Xie Feng replied: "Didn't I tell you at the beginning? This is my new companion, Lyman, who is quite good at strategy."

King Wilson frowned and asked: "He actually asked me how many Guards I want. What does this mean?"

Xie Feng murmured: "That's the literal meaning..."

King Wilson knew that he couldn't ask anything from Xie Feng, so he turned back to Lyman and asked: "What exactly do you want the Guards to do? You must at least tell me clearly first."

But Lyman looked mysterious and said: "It can't be said."

King Wilson said slightly angrily: "You don't say anything and just ask me to assign a few Gotei Guards to you. Do you think this is possible?"

Lyman smiled and said: "It's not divided, but I choose it myself."

King Wilson said: "Yo? If it were up to you to choose, I would have agreed?"

Lyman said: "I, Lyman, have made every move since I started the army. I have never made a mistake in every move I make. Although I can't say that I achieve my goal perfectly every time, at least I won't suffer a loss. I think this is

In addition to my own abilities, it also benefits from the fact that I am the only one who knows my plan before it succeeds." On the way back to Kulau, Xie Feng asked Lyman more than once what his plan was, but Lyman always refused.

Neither is willing to tell.

King Wilson said dissatisfied: "You mean if I know your plan, I might leak it to Charlotte?"

Lyman said easily: "It's not that I can't trust you, Your Majesty, but in order to ensure that my strategy can achieve the expected goal, I must go all out to avoid the possibility of any secrets being leaked, even if this possibility is infinitely close to zero. Your Majesty and Xie Feng

Although adults will not take the initiative to leak the secret, you can't guarantee 100% that someone will use various unexpected methods to steal this secret from your mind, right? I won't tell anyone the process of the strategy.

, but I can tell you a little bit about the purpose of the strategy - if the strategy is successful, Charlotte will have a headache and worry in a short period of time, and as time goes by, Charlotte will gradually change from calm to irritable.

Uneasy, unable to sleep or eat well. As for how long this state can last, it depends on when Charlotte will see through this strategy."

King Wilson and Xie Feng were both a little shocked when they heard this. If, as Lyman said, he had a way to make Charlotte restless, the benefits would definitely be much greater than annexing her entire army.

The real fear of Charlotte lies not in the elite troops she leads, but in her calmness and shrewdness that are enough to make people feel frightened. Xie Feng repeatedly suffered losses when facing Charlotte because

Charlotte seemed to be able to predict every step of Xie Feng's thoughts and actions. If Charlotte could be made to have trouble sleeping and eating due to some kind of worries, even in a short period of time, it would be enough for the alliance to do a lot of things well.

get ready.

Xie Feng leaned close to King Wilson's ear and whispered: "Just promise him."

King Wilson glanced at Xie Feng and replied: "Can you trust him?"

Xie Feng hesitated for a while, then glanced at Lyman's confident eyes and recalled Dante's recommendation before leaving, so he said: "Yes!"

…

In a conference hall, there was one person, Lyman, and 0 Gotei guards.

The Gotei Guards had just received an order from King Wilson - to absolutely obey the words of the strange man wearing a pale white mask in front of them.

Although the Guards were a little confused by His Majesty the King's order, as full-time soldiers, they had long developed the discipline of absolute obedience.

Gas, the captain of the Gotei Guards who had recovered from his injuries, asked Lehmann: "Mr. Lehmann, all of us Gotei Guards are here. If you have any orders, please tell me."

Vice-captain Annabell whispered: "Will you pay me to obey your order?"

Lyman glanced at the Gotei Guard members present, and then said: "First of all, I want to ask you, do you all support the war against Swadia?"

The members of the Gotei Guard all looked at each other in confusion, not knowing why Lyman would ask such a question in the first place.

Gas stepped forward and said: "Mr. Lyman, we are all troops absolutely loyal to His Majesty King Wilson..."

Lyman interrupted: "I'm not asking you if you agree or obey. I'm asking if you support it."

Annabel frowned and said, "Is there any difference?"

Lyman said: "I'll just say it simply - if your king has never had any intention to fight against Swadia, but you still think that you should fight against Swadia and are willing to do something about it, please stay.

Get off, the rest please leave."

No one left the scene.

The Gotei Guards all looked at Lyman in a slightly joking manner, as if Lyman had just asked a very stupid question.

Lyman ignored the gazes of the Gotei Guards and nodded: "It seems that you are all willing to contribute to the fight against Swadia. Okay - next, are you willing to fight against Swadia?"

Those who paid the price with their lives stay, and the rest please leave."

No one left the scene.

Wass asked: "Mr. Lyman, do you need us to do a very dangerous task?"

Lyman did not reply to Gas's words, and said to the Gotei Guards: "Aren't you afraid of death? Or am I not asking clearly enough?"

Annabel said: "We, the Imperial Guard, have never been cowards who are afraid of death. No matter how difficult or dangerous the mission is, we will never look back."

Lyman smiled, shook his head first, and then said: "It seems that you still don't understand what I mean. What I want to say is - which of you is willing to die?"

Who wants to die?

This question is so baffling.

Gas couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Lyman, we don't quite understand what you mean."

Suddenly, Lyman turned his head and faced Gas. His eyes stared directly at Gas through the eye holes in the mask, and said: "You were wrong just now. I don't need you to do a very dangerous task."

, but to do a mission that requires death. It can even be said that the purpose of the mission is to make someone die!"

hiss……

The Gotei guards present took a deep breath.

Not only were they shocked by the content of Lyman's words, but they were also shocked by Lyman's sudden change in tone.

At this time, Lyman's eyes were like two sharp knives, slicing through everyone's faces. Everyone could clearly feel that Lyman's breathing began to become stronger and faster, and his body began to tremble slightly. This kind of

The reaction is like a money man meeting a gold brick, or a pervert meeting a woman, it is a kind of morbid fanaticism!

"Have I not made it clear enough?" Lyman said again: "I need a few dead people! Those who are willing to die stay, and the rest leave!"

Gas hesitated for a while, wanting to ask something more, but Lyman stopped him: "Don't ask! Don't ask! Don't ask! I will only say it again, those who are willing to die will stay, and the rest will leave!"

"Hey! You!" Annabel took a step forward, as if to resist Lyman's rudeness, but was stopped by Gas.

Gass remembered King Wilson's instructions to obey Lyman absolutely, and then said to the members of the Guard at the scene: "Everyone will make a choice if you hear clearly." After saying that, he took the lead and walked out of the conference hall.

Annabell saw this and stopped the gas, and asked curiously: "Hey, are you afraid of death?"

Gass shook his head and said: "I'm not afraid of death, I just don't understand any mission whose purpose is to kill the person who performs the mission. I can die on the battlefield, I can die in the process of protecting His Majesty, but I don't

You are too accepting of this inexplicable death - how about you?"

Annabel glanced at Lyman and said, "Let me see what he is going to ask us to do first."

Gas whispered: "What if he really wants you to die? Your Majesty has promised to kill you..."

Annabel interrupted: "He won't let us commit suicide in vain, right? If that's the case, I'll complain to His Majesty first."

The guards at the scene had already reacted and began to leave the conference hall in an orderly manner. Lyman shouted impatiently: "Leave quickly!"

Gass glanced at Lyman, then at Annabel, and then said: "Then you can take care of yourself." Then he followed the crowd and left.

Soon, the conference hall became spacious and quiet.

Still remaining in the conference hall, in addition to Lyman and Anabel, were three members of the Gotei Guard.

Lyman looked at the four people at the scene and asked: "Are you sure you are really willing to die?"

Annabel shouted: "It doesn't matter if we die, but I wish I could know why we die."

Lyman smiled and said: "As I said just now, I dedicated my life to fighting Swadia."

…

October 161, Calradia.

Late at night, in Halma's castle, Charlotte lay on the big bed in the master room and let out a long breath.

The past few days of fighting had made Charlotte's mind and eyes very tired.

Halma has been defeated, and half of Kujit's territory has been included in Swadia's territory. However, Charlotte is not happy at all, because she has received news that, except for Salander, the other four countries have announced that they will cooperate with "Reverse"

Sky Knight" Xie Feng formed an alliance and prepared to fight against Swadia together. In addition to the four countries, there were even rumors that the long-missing previous king of Swadia, Haraus, also participated in the alliance. And the remaining Salander

The Sultanate, which had already formed an alliance with Rodok for self-protection, is completely guaranteed to form an alliance with Xie Feng. It is conceivable how dangerous Swadia, led by Charlotte, will face in the future.
