'Brave and courageous, wise and courageous', both Green and the others, as well as the Array Master and his party, fully recognized this evaluation when applied to Neo, and they all did not deny the need to acknowledge Neo as a lover.
Without him, let alone achieving brilliant results in this operation, it is probably unknown whether he could have successfully saved his life.
But, even so, the mages are still not prepared to go crazy with Neo, and their attitudes are unexpectedly unified. In Green's words: "There are some things, even if certain powerful conditions are mastered, but the event itself is beyond our ability."
There are too many categories, so it’s not feasible. It’s not just a question of whether you dare to take risks.”
Admittedly, Neo also recognized that Green's remarks were not prevaricating, but rational, and in line with the mage's characteristic of speaking less tactfully and more straightforwardly.
The attitude of Green and others also reminded Neo of that sentence: Everyone says no, but you say yes, who is at fault?
Neo didn't waver, not at all. He chose to go his own way. Neo said that he would break into the dragon's pool and the tiger's den, but if he was lucky enough to succeed in the early stage, he hoped that everyone could cooperate later.
Seeing Neo's talkative appearance, Green suspected that he had this original intention of discussing with everyone. Even using the word 'discuss' was a bit inappropriate. It should be said that Neo had already made up his mind about this discussion.
It's just to say hello and let everyone be mentally prepared, that's all
The facts are not much different from what Green guessed. Qigong will naturally take risks. If it is a head-on confrontation, even if the other side adds a strong man from the Holy Domain, it will not be enough to compete with an army of tens of thousands. Neo knows this in his heart.
Normally, the noble path will not work, and you can only take the wrong path, but what Neo can do is to use the information at hand to attack the opponent's omissions, find every opportunity to use cunning tricks, or win.
Hope one or two
I have to say that this approach is not Neo's style. A wonderful victory must be risky. Let alone making mistakes, even if one link is not connected well, it is very likely to be in a dilemma and fail. Who can guarantee that you will not make even the slightest mistake?
?Even if you can guarantee yourself, how can you guarantee that your opponent will follow your thoughts at every step?
Neo had figured this out, but he chose to do it, and there was almost no corresponding pressure. The reason was actually simple. Neo knew very well that aside from those vanities and hopes, the success or failure of this operation would matter.
It's just someone else's wedding dress. The meaning of practicing is far greater than the actual gain. After all, in the final analysis, the struggle between the ruling faction headed by Count Aventus and the revolutionaries who want to usurp the throne is essentially dog eating dog.
Various forces, including the dark clan and the demon clan, intervened and seemed a little dazzled.
Of course, in addition to rational analysis, there are also "emotional" considerations. To be honest, Neo has the need to establish extraordinary achievements and use them to win the title of fame. Miriam is kind, but she is definitely not the best.
Being smart, Neo is not at ease. Even if he has a very smart best friend to accompany him, he is the public. Seeing a large number of innocent people killed and their families unashamedly, Neo asks himself if he can do it.
So rational and detached
Time was tight, and the small meeting ended after just over half an hour. It took another half an hour to prepare. Neo entrusted Essoke's affairs to Green, and then took a spotted owl and set off alone.
That's right, it's still past 22 o'clock...
At this usual time, Commander Griffin has almost climbed into bed. His work and rest schedule is very regular and unshakable, especially in recent years. Others may not know it, but Griffin himself knows that his energy
, the physical strength has weakened greatly, and I feel sleepy at a certain point. I can no longer sleep and stay up as before. Even in a deep sleep state, I am always alert and bear the name of the fox.
Yes, this McCarthy man with a thick and curly gray beard and a strong physique is Bear Fox Griffin, the commander of the 1st Marine Regiment of Sylphanis, and also the more than 40,000 regular soldiers who sent troops to Elada this time.
supreme commander of
"Sir, do you think Bazel will..." The middle-aged man with dark skin and severe baldness only said half a sentence before he was interrupted by Griffin's gloomy and cold eyes.
What emitted light like a flame in the tent was the flame crystal magic lamp, but this light did not make Shegliden feel warm and cozy. At least in his eyes, this light source only made Griffin more majestic.
Bennett Shegliden, the twin brother of Bodwin Shegliden, was blatantly given away by his brother to be a green loser... Griffin lacked other superficial concepts about the man in front of him.
Any impression other than "A loser is a loser, and the questions he asked are stupid!" Such thoughts flashed through Griffin's mind contemptuously.
As a soldier, a member of a big family, but not a direct nobleman, the word "struggle" that best represents Griffin's life characteristics, family members, outsiders, own people, enemies... In order to get ahead, in order to have a good life
For status, money, power, and glory, Griffin has always struggled like a fighter. Even this rebellion is just a manifestation of struggle - he hates those who are incompetent in his family, but he holds important positions because of blood relations.
He also hates Bishop Aventus, who controls Sylphanis for the same reason. He has such a temperament that he looks down on a good-for-nothing loser who has lived for nearly 40 years and even his wife was seduced and ran away.
Griffin's disregard and disdain made Bennett very embarrassed. After all, he and Griffin were not the only ones here, but his past life had already smoothed Bennett's edges.
Instead of the second part of the sentence, it was an officer sitting behind him on the right side who leaned forward slightly and said in a low voice: "There is no doubt about the ability of Chief Barzel and his guards. What's more important is that this operation was absolutely sudden.
Sex, we have analyzed these before. The reason why the message has not been sent yet, my subordinates feel, is actually a reflection of everything going well. If not, it would be a serious matter, and I am afraid that a flying rider would have come back to deliver the message."
Bennett nodded frequently as he listened. In fact, he didn't know much about military matters at all, and he was not interested at all. The reason why he had such questions was just that he was deeply afraid of Baldwin and was subconsciously seeking comfort.
"Bruce, what you said makes sense." Bennett smiled at the officer who was explaining to him. There was even a bit of a flattering tone in his smile. Bennett was a loser, but he wasn't too stupid. He knew in his heart that Bruce
The respect for him is just for others to see. After all, he is now the leader of the "stormtroopers". But even so, he still appreciates Bruce's feelings. After all, it is really difficult to get off the stage in front of everyone.
embarrassing thing
At this moment, a guard of the 1st Marine Regiment wearing a white coat walked in steadily, "Report to the general, Colonel Hu Leone sent a guard to ask for an audience."
Griffin frowned, leaned forward, and asked, "How many people are coming back?"
"1 person, General"
Griffin leaned back and sat in the huge lion-skin chair. He tilted his head and exchanged glances with an officer sitting on the right, and then said to the guard: "Let him in."
It was Neo who came in. At this moment, he had stripped off his flesh and blood armor. His appearance was that of a standard professional soldier, strong and capable. "The Night Guard pays tribute to General Hutson and all the officers." Neo did not state his name, nor did he.
No job title was reported, and even the badges and leadership badges on the armor he wore were removed.
Griffin had no expression on his face and didn't answer. He just stared at Neo with cold eyes.
Seeing Griffin's behavior, the other people in the tent didn't say a word. They all seemed to have adjusted their breathing so that the footsteps of the patrollers outside the tent could be clearly heard.
The atmosphere was solemn in silence, and the pressure was gradually increasing. Neo stood there like a javelin, with a solemn expression, but the small movements of repeatedly stretching and then clenching the fingers of his left hand betrayed his nervousness and apprehension.
Most of the people in the tent saw Neo's little move. Sitting behind Griffin, the officer who had made eye contact with him before leaned over and spoke in a very low voice in Griffin's ear.
Bennett, who was closer, didn't hear the content, but Neo's hearing was different from ordinary people, but he could hear it clearly: "General, this is Summer, one of the capable lieutenants around Hu Leone, and a member of the Payton family.
, I am impressed by his little move..."
There was no reaction on Griffin's face, and he coldly said one word to Neo: "Say"
"General, the operation was very successful. Except for Simon Windrunner who was injured and escaped, the rest were either captured or killed. That person is under our control. In addition, all the magicians of the magic circle surrendered and no one was injured. Colonel Hu Leone kindly requests the mobilization of 15,000 troops.
officers and soldiers, stationed in Prawang..."
Griffin snorted and sneered twice, interrupted Neo's report, and said sternly: "Come here, peel off this person's fake skin for me. I want to see who dares to pretend to be a night travel air cavalry."
Konoe, fabricating lies"
Following Griffin's order, six white-coated guards poured in outside the tent. These were the elites of the First Marine Regiment. Any one of them had skills no less than level 12. After entering, they directly pressed Neo down.
If you want to live there, take it out.
"General, General, I'm not pretending. I'm Colonel Hullion's personal guard, General..." Neo's cry of defense has no meaning, his disguise has been exposed, and a group of wolf-like and tiger-like personal guards will
When he was escorted out, it was by no means as simple as taking off the disguise and being obedient. With their many years of experience in obeying orders under Griffin's tent, they certainly knew that Griffin's order just now was meant to teach Neo a lesson.
in the account
"Hiding one's head and showing one's tail, always being clever and vacillating, the Payton family is rich in this kind of stuff!" Griffin snorted angrily.
"I'm afraid Colonel Hu Leone also knows this, so he sent the Summer Payton family to control many minerals and two high-quality transportation lines..."
Griffin waved his hand and interrupted the officer behind him, "I know, otherwise it wouldn't be as simple as a few beatings."
Neo was not beaten into a pig's head, but he was just punched a lot, and his body gained 2 circles. The bruises on his body hurt whenever he moved, but in his heart, this beating was unexpected.
It can even be said that he is very satisfied with it, because it means that he has basically passed the test. The reason for this is to start from the beginning.
First of all, the entanglements between the interests within the rebels, among allies, between military positions, among nobles, are intricate and complicated, like a mess.
Secondly, Bazel Huliang is destined to take advantage of this opportunity to rise to prominence, and his status and authority will rise to a big level. In other words, if the rebels' plan succeeds, the Hilfanis cake will have the Hulion family.
A piece, and it’s not too small. This is determined by factors such as the resources Hugh Leon has in hand and the role he played in the operation.
Third, as a very representative figure of the Hulion family, Bazel's ambition has long been seen by others. Despite this, he has to use it. After all, what Bazel controls is by no means a night-flying sky.
The cavalry, including some families within the Payton family, have placed members of their younger generation to serve under Bazelle, which in itself means recognition and even optimism.
Under such a premise, Bazel used this Essock operation to ask for military power in order to get the first move to 'cut the cake'. This was within Griffin's expectation.
"Hmph, I can't wait, it looks ugly!" Griffin can completely understand the mood of a somewhat capable and pretentious person when he seizes the opportunity after struggling for many years. However, he thought that with Bazel's ability, he could do what he wanted.
Be more elegant and calm, instead of being so eager for quick success and using this almost threatening way of begging to control an army.
In fact, Griffin still has some vision. Bazel is indeed not a fool, and his original plan is quite fair. After all, he has always regarded himself as the king. Unfortunately, Bazel met Neo, and in the gutter
The boat capsized, and it capsized really hard. Neo read the file and remembered it, and this was the trap that Griffin said was "ugly to eat."
'Bazel's performance' undoubtedly made Griffin very angry, but there are still many places where he needs to rely on Bazel and the Hullion family. Even the landed aristocrats like the Payton family cannot offend. This is mainly because
Because the revolutionaries want a sweet cake, not a moldy cake; for this reason, restraint and patience are very necessary; of course, this is mutual
"But this time, I beat you in vain. Who asked you to engage in this bullshit disguise..." Griffin felt a little proud of Fatty's beating of Summer. He vented his anger and slapped him in the face.
That's his true intention
It has to be said that Griffin's calculation is pretty good. Summer has no place to cry out if he has an grievance. It was him who pretended to be the first. Griffin said: "How do I know it's Summer? What if it's a spy or an enemy pretending to be someone else?"
What about lying?' It will clear up the matter.
His subordinate was beaten, but when he turned around, Bazelle could only endure this tone, and had to endure his nausea and comfort Summer with kind words. After all, Summer was an important member of the Payton family, the eldest son of the current head of the family, Anderson, and a younger generation.
The best among them, and Bazzell had to rely on the Payton family
As for why Summer wanted to pretend, Griffin could also understand. As he said before, the Payton family is rich in speculators. Summer obviously realized that Bazell sent him to borrow troops to force him to take sides, so
I just came up with this idea to disguise myself as an ordinary guard to do things. This disguise is just a fig leaf.
It was precisely because he had enough information and Nancy helped to formulate plans and conduct on-site analysis that Neo used the trick of double disguise. The first disguise was to first transform himself into Summer Payton.
This step is completed by transforming the energy cabin. To this end, we do not hesitate to consume 5% of the recovery value of the energy cabin and forcibly end the cooling time.
The second disguise was completed with magic potion. The object of the disguise was an ordinary night guard. He was indeed a real person. However, like the real Summer, he was suffering naked in Essoke.
The function of the double disguise is to make Griffin and others believe that Neo is Summer, and to divert their attention. The miraculous body modification technology and the ability to completely read files and memories made Neo successful again.
As expected, Griffin did not struggle with the question, 'Is the operation really successful? At this time, I sent someone to ask for 15,000 troops to cut the cake in advance. Is this really just because of Bazel's eagerness for quick success?', but
Under Neo's guidance, key issues were skipped
After being beaten by Fatty, 'Summer' was indeed in a mess. Griffin was amused in his heart, but he pretended to ask: "Are you... Summer Anderson's eldest son?"
‘Sammer’ held his nose and endured it, and said with a sense of grievance: “Yes, General, it’s me”…
The rest is relatively simple, Griffin's false surprise; 'Sammer's' confession after his little trick failed; Griffin intentionally or unintentionally expressed the concept: Bazelle's eagerness for quick success and quick gain is not a big deal.
Good stuff, but in the end they force you to take sides. Be cautious when investing in people like this...
Of course, you have to eat the food one bite at a time, and Griffin doesn't expect to successfully drive a wedge between the Hullion family and the Payton family through this incident. Moreover, Griffin hates the Payton family, otherwise he wouldn't
