"The two cities of Shuiyue and Fenglong are located to the west of the Songyin Mountains and belong to the extreme edge of the eastern region of Lengyan. For us, the location is extremely remote."
Looking at the leftmost area of ​​the square table, Ariel rested her chin on one hand.
Then he nodded thoughtfully and said: "Because there is a vast Songyin Mountain Range blocking it, if you want to mobilize the soldiers from these two cities and enter the hinterland of the eastern region where we are, you have to go around in a big circle.
It is undoubtedly quite inconvenient to move around.”
At this time, Ariel's fair face couldn't help but show a look of doubt: "From this, what exactly does Shuanghuaqing mean by the huge effect?"
"Her Royal Highness the Princess is right. Except for those who are strong at level 3 or above and have rich experience, it is impossible for ordinary soldiers to cross the Songyin Mountains. This applies to us as well as our opponents."
Nodding slightly to Ariel, the Rose Marquis smiled and said: "Therefore, the Songyin Mountain Range is undoubtedly an excellent natural protective barrier, making it impossible for the princes to attack the troops in the nearby northern area and the hinterland of Cold Flame.
It’s easy to rush to the eastern region where we are.”
Having said this, the Rose Marquis stretched out his orchid finger and pointed at the upper rightmost part of the square table.
Then he said: "Coupled with the Baibu Mountains that stretch to the north of the entire eastern region, the junction of these two mountain ranges is the only passage from the eastern region to the adjacent northern region and the hinterland of Cold Flame."
"I know that this narrowest passage, which is only a few kilometers long, is called the Stargazing Corridor, right?"
Nodding slightly as she pondered, Ariel's starry eyes lit up and said: "Qing Shuanghua, you mean that as long as we can control this important road, when the war begins, we can block the opponent's reinforcements from other areas.
?”
"Her Royal Highness is indeed very smart."
Snapping his fingers lightly, Marquis Rose said: "On the Stargazing Corridor, there is a city called Stargazing City. It is located at the narrowest point of this corridor and is currently controlled by the Second Prince and his faction."
Nodding to Ariel again, Marquis Rose continued: "Therefore, as long as we can unexpectedly send a new force to control this place before the war begins, it will naturally be equivalent to controlling the throat of the entire eastern region.
"
"So that's it. From a geographical point of view, Shuiyue and Fenglong cities are the closest to Wangxing City. The huge role Shuanghuaqing just mentioned is referring to this, right?"
Hearing this, Ariel's delicate face showed a look of sudden enlightenment.
"Her Royal Highness the Princess is right. Originally, Wangxing City was a large-scale trading city. However, due to the rise of Fanyin City in recent years, it has gradually declined. However, due to its special geographical location, it is still the main business city.
Business."
Nodding slightly, Marquis Rose responded: "As long as we consciously send some strong men and soldiers pretending to be caravans from Shuiyue and Fenglong cities from now on, when the war starts, there will be a proper
With external cooperation, it is not difficult to capture it quickly."
Upon hearing this, all the subordinates nodded thoughtfully.
On the other side, Lei Xiao also had a thoughtful expression.
Regarding this important city, he had heard Orr mention it before.
Apart from the area centered on Iron Gate, it is the only city on the surface of the Second Prince's faction that has not united with the surrounding forces.
As for its ruler, Lei Xiao is no stranger.
It was the Heixi family that belonged to the mysterious organization strongman Mutong who he killed in front of the Immortal Gate at that time.
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao immediately clapped his hands and said: "Marquis Rose's suggestion is very good, so let's start implementing it immediately."
After finishing speaking, Lei Xiao used his words to connect with the two city lords Ed from Shuiyue City and Tran from Fenglong City, and assigned the task.
Then, Lei Xiao smiled faintly and said: "Aside from Rose Marquis' analysis just now, in fact, we have an extremely good secret trump card in our hands."
"And a secret ace?"
Hearing the sound, all the subordinates, including the Rose Marquis, couldn't help but start looking at each other with confused expressions.
After a while, Marquis Rose stepped forward with a confused look on his face, bowed to Lei Xiao and said, "Please let me know clearly, Lord."
"Then it is naturally the other lord forces located in the Songyin Mountains."
Raising his eyebrows slightly, Lei Xiao continued: "These alien lords like me have many territories, all located around the giant peaks in the hinterland of the Songyin Mountains. Although they cannot climb over the mountains, there is still no problem in getting out of the mountains. of."
After a pause, Lei Xiao added: "At present, I have consciously cultivated a group of lord forces within a controllable range. Although in a short period of time, the combat power cannot be compared with the regular garrison, it can be used as a A surprise force can still have an unexpected effect."
There is no doubt that what Lei Xiao is referring to is the Xiaoshen Regiment No. 9 led by Qin Qian in the Songyin Mountains.
This is also a small attempt by Lei Xiao to use the power of the lord.
Because Lei Xiao, who is also a lord from another world, clearly understands.
As time goes by, most of the surviving lords have awakened various talents, and when they cooperate with each other, they can often play a greater role.
So, it's just like what the prompt said when I just traveled to this world.
In addition to killing each other and plundering resources, lords and lords can undoubtedly choose to cooperate together.
As for Lei Xiao himself, he really doesn't like the resources of other lords, and there is no need to plunder them at all.
Especially in this situation where an unknown catastrophe could come at any time.
It is impossible for Lei Xiao to put his precious time and energy into these things that are like crushing ants, and the return rate is not proportional.
Therefore, the only way before Lei Xiao is naturally to try to cultivate a force of lords with the smallest effort.
In addition, there are many convenient functions such as long-distance teleportation magic and real-time item trading between lords and lords.
Although these convenient functions have to be taken out through the territory's storage wooden box, which has many restrictions, it is also a huge advantage that the local indigenous people and subordinates cannot match.
Taking advantage of this, when Lei Xiao is unable to go there in person, it is extremely convenient to transport large quantities of grain and grass, or weapons and equipment to the cities around the target lord.
Of course, then again, Lei Xiao's premise for training other lords is naturally based on obedience and controllability.
If anything happens that threatens himself or even his loyal subordinates, Lei Xiao will never show mercy.
On the other side, after hearing Lei Xiao's words, the faces of all the subordinates showed a look of enlightenment, and they all cast their eyes in reverence.
The Lord Lord can not only make these subordinates admire and loyal from the bottom of their hearts, but also can easily control other lords from other worlds who traveled through time with the Lord Lord.
I have to say that the lord is truly astonished!
"Okay, now that the future development direction has been decided, let's talk about a rather thorny issue."
Picking up the half-drunk teacup again, Lei Xiao said again: "Compared with the eldest prince and the second prince in the public eye, this is the one we need to pay most attention to."
"Lord, are you referring to the fourth prince?"
Hearing this, Marquis Rose nodded thoughtfully and said, "I have to say that this fourth prince, who seems to be the most inconspicuous, is indeed very mysterious."
"What do you think about the power of the fourth prince?"
Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao drank the warm fragrant tea in the cup and then asked.
"Back to the lord, my subordinates believe that there are two main reasons why the Fourth Prince and his faction have been hiding in the dark."
Nodding to Lei Xiao, Marquis Rose respectfully added tea to Lei Xiao while continuing: "First of all, the scope of the eastern region of Lengyan is limited. Except for the eldest prince, the second prince and our forces, the remaining neutral cities
, there are already very few, and there are no concentrated areas.”
When the sound of tea hitting the cup stopped, the Rose Marquis put down the teapot in his hand and said: "It can be seen from this that the power of the fourth prince should be extremely limited and scattered in the eastern area of ​​​​the cold flame. This is his power
The first reason not to notice."
"It makes sense. After all, my fourth prince brother was the least conspicuous before his father fell ill. If he had to choose among the three princes, I believe it would be difficult for any city lord to be willing to join him.
camp."
Hearing this, Ariel's slender eyelashes flickered, and she nodded thoughtfully and said: "Since the power is relatively weak, it is natural to choose to hide in the dark."
"What about the second reason?"
On the other side, Lei Xiao looked at the steam rising from the teacup in front of him and asked again.
"The second reason is that the fourth prince may be planning to turn his back on the guests and seize the territory of the eldest prince and the second prince in one fell swoop, so he has been dormant in the dark, waiting for the opportunity."
Bowing slightly to Lei Xiao, the Rose Marquis responded sternly: "Lord, since this fourth prince, who is only supported by wealthy businessmen on the surface, can compete with the other two princes in the royal capital.
Then, it undoubtedly shows that he has a very powerful force under his command, so that he can compete with the strong men of the traditional nobles and new nobles. Their strength must not be underestimated."
"Indeed, regardless of the minions under these nobles, the overall strength of most of the nobles themselves is far beyond that of ordinary civilian powerhouses of the same class."
I saw Ju Bai on the side, nodded solemnly and said: "After all, even the new and established nobles have inherited their family business for at least two to three hundred years, let alone those who have inherited the family business since the establishment of the Leng Yan Kingdom.
The traditional aristocrats that already exist.”
"The foundations possessed by these great nobles are indeed incomparable to those of ordinary powerful folk."
Dai Mei frowned slightly and pondered for a moment, then Ariel said: "And even so, my fourth brother can still compete with the other two, which is simply incredible."
