On the airship above Oro City
Kalyana and the dozen or so companions who came with the Wings of Covering the Sky have officially entered the airspace of Oro City.
"Kalyana, I heard that you were very familiar with Sean before. What kind of person is he?" a companion asked, and the other witches around also ran over to listen curiously.
Although Sean Weigel had been in charge of the Wings of the Sky headquarters for a period of time, not everyone had talked to him. Everyone had his own tasks and some people were too embarrassed to approach him for various reasons.
I was thinking of meeting him in the future, but who knew that the other party would suddenly leave after only staying at the headquarters for a while.
No one even heard the news that the other party was leaving.
"Well, how can I describe him? He's a bit lazy and always expects others to do things for him." Karyana couldn't really put it into words. She didn't know much about Sean. The only thing that impressed her was when he asked her to draw a map for him every day.
At that time, she could have taught him, but he only wanted her to help him draw instead of learning. This has always left a deep impression on Karyana.
"But he is the count. He must be used to ordering people around." A girl said nearby.
"He was only a baron then."
"But they are also nobles," someone else said.
"Anyway, you'll understand once you see him." Karyana really couldn't explain it. If the leader hadn't been there, she might not have paid any attention to the other party.
The witches at the Lietis Sky-covering Wings Headquarters have seen many nobles, and many of them are of high status.
"Will we suffer misery in the future?"
"Xingku, why don't you come? If you don't come here, we will be sent to the battlefield."
“I just mean it’s nice to be here.”
A dozen girls can quarrel with each other
"But there's something I've always wanted to know. What's the relationship between Baron Sean Weigel (no, now he's Count Weigel) and our leader?"
I guess everyone present wanted to know, as almost all of them gathered around.
"It's not nice for you to talk about the leader like that."
“Aren’t you curious?”
You know what, this group of people are quite curious.
"I don't know much, actually. I just heard that the leader once promised to protect the other party in Koga City, so he brought Count Viger to Rietis." This seemed to be the only information Karlyana knew.
"Hey, do you think he might be the man the leader keeps outside?"
Everyone looked at each other
"Shhh"
No one dared to respond.
Compared to the girls' ease, Sean was very busy. The report on Oro City's request for help should have reached the imperial capital, but there had been no reply and Sean did not expect there would be any reply.
There is a war in the north now, and a large number of the empire's elite troops and supplies have been transferred to the front line. There will be no extra soldiers to support him. King Simon did not throw his letter for help on the ground in front of the ministers and then scold them, which was already a face-saving thing for him. Moreover, it is estimated that the letter will never reach King Simon.
Although he is an earl, it is not enough for him to contact the king directly, and he has to go through many people in the middle.
"Are you waiting for a reply from the Empire, sir?" Luke asked as if he could see what Sean was thinking.
"There won't be a response anyway, so this is just a retreat."
At worst, he would be criticized, and then the emperor would no longer care about the affairs in the southeast, and he would have to respond to his request for help first.
"Your Excellency, this is a very clever move."
Oh
Sean looked at each other.
Anyone who says that he has clever methods can admit it, but it makes him feel that Luke's words are too insincere. He is the first one among all his subordinates to see through it, and if you count it, it was after he first proposed the idea that Sean dared to implement it.
“So what should we do next?”
"What do you think?" Sean Ye wanted to hear the other party's opinion.
The rebels have suffered such a heavy blow that they will probably not be able to cause trouble again in a short period of time. However, it is also very difficult to wipe them out. There are many forests near Oro City, and most of them are dense forests. Even the nearby mountain people may not have walked through all of them.
If the rebels hide in the deep mountains and forests and don't come out, we will have to pay a huge price to fight guerrilla warfare with them.
Not worth it.
Especially in times of war like now, it is not cost-effective.
But after all, we can't keep them for too long. Even if they don't come out, we have to find a way to force them back, otherwise they will always be a hidden danger.
"The biggest uncertainty right now is in the north. The battlefield situation in the north affects the operation of the Bashalan Empire. Do you think we can win the war?" Sean asked Luke.
Luke shook his head. No one could give the correct answer.
"The Borg are very strong. At least in the Zambutal region, no one can match them."
"I've heard this from many people," Sean said.
One war is not enough to truly destroy a country, especially when both sides are large enough. The tens of millions of people in the Bashalan Empire are not so easy to wipe out.
The real devastating blow to the country was the trauma after the war.
Famine, riots, disasters and disorder.
That's why Sean decided not to support the country but to leave some reserves for himself. Otherwise, with the current scale of Oro City, sending out those thousands of soldiers might not achieve any great results, but without the money and food, many people might die in the following days.
"The north is the biggest variable. The outcome there directly affects whether the rebels will stay here. If the war reaches a stalemate, the rebels may send troops here or call for troops to be transferred back. If we win, it will be the perfect outcome, but if we lose..."
Sean couldn't imagine the scene of the empire's 500,000-strong army being defeated. How would the southern cities protect themselves then?
north
Inexplicably, I thought of the south again.
The Adak border is also a problem, so we need to pay more attention.
Scratched his hair.
Leaning back in his chair, Sean felt for a moment that being a lord was difficult. If he had chosen to be an ordinary mercenary, he might now be able to pick up girls, drink, and travel around the world.
"Things have to be dealt with one by one. We can find a way to resolve the threat in front of us first." Luke said in a dish.
As the two chatted, a guard came in and reported that the wizards of the Wings of Heaven had arrived in Oro City.
Finally here.
Finally there is some comforting news. Frelia has never let herself down.
"Bring them here, wait, that's all. I'll go pick them up myself." He has always lacked the opinions of capable wizards around him. He is a half-baked wizard, and the others are not even that.
