Chapter 184: Stirring up troubled waters to catch big fish (Part 2)



Even though Plancy was only a deputy general of the militia in the northwest of Assyria and not even in the official legion sequence, he had spent a long time in the First Legion and even participated in the Battle of Red Valley Bay - this was also one of the important reasons why he left the First Legion.

Anyone who knows Planci knows that this guy has three major hobbies: bellicosity, drinking, and playing with women.

During the Second Battle of Red Valley Bay, Plancy used his three hobbies to the fullest: he commanded the battle while drinking, and at the same time he charged forward. Halfway through the charge, he saw his men capture two female prisoners, so he immediately pulled down his pants, drank, made love, and did not forget to command the battle...

After the war, Wei Huo personally ordered Plancy to pack up and go home, because the First Legion had no mission in this Honggu Bay battle. In other words, Plancy secretly led a team of a thousand people to make a fortune - war is a shortcut to accumulating wealth.

In addition to the charge of participating in the war without permission, Plancy was also accused of many crimes by other legions, such as occupying and stealing friendly supplies, public prostitution, gambling in groups, etc. However, although the evidence for these accusations was solid, Plancy did not receive any other punishment except being ordered to leave the legion. On the one hand, he had Qi Yuan's authority, and on the other hand, Chief Connor had no intention of punishing him - because in the Battle of Red Valley Bay, although Plancy's team of a thousand people was notorious, its results far surpassed those of other teams.

So in Chief Connor's eyes, Plancy is an absolute military commander talent. The only pity is that Plancy is a member of the Duncan family. If not, he would definitely use him.

Plancy had been unemployed at home for three years before Qi Yuan brought him out to serve as the deputy general of the militia in the northwest of Assyria. However, this position of patrolling the streets would not satisfy Plancy. As a warmonger, he always yearned for the bloody killings on the battlefield. Although Plancy, as a warmonger, had some flaws - he only liked to command from the rear and never charged to the front - this seemed to better illustrate his military command ability.

Plansy's idea was very simple. Since Wu Lai was the new favorite of the family, and he had a relationship with him that seemed like a "god-given match", and Wu Lai was so generous and enthusiastic, then he might as well go to Salt Marsh Town to serve. You know, Salt Marsh Town had no shortage of salt and no shortage of bandits. If there were bandits, there would naturally be wars to fight.

Leading troops to fight, what an exciting thing it is... When Plancy made up his mind to find Wu Lai, he almost died of happiness due to his own longing.

In order to have a better grasp of the situation, Plancy seriously explained the importance of eradicating the banditry around Salt Marsh Town, and then expressed his own ideas.

After listening to Plansi's request, Wu Lai pondered. After all, the fact that Salt Marsh Town was about to be upgraded to a city was still a secret. Connor would not tell it, Qi Yuan would at most tell Wei Huo, and it was even more impossible for him and Gulu to let outsiders know. In this way, Plansi's request was a bit abrupt - he gave up his position as the deputy general of the northwest district of Assyria City and went to Salt Marsh Town to suppress bandits. This was a bit weird no matter how you looked at it...

Wu Lai knew that this was not arranged by Qi Yuan or Wei Huo. The reason was simple. If it was arranged by these two people, they would have just informed him. There would be no need for Plancy to come and make the request himself.

After thinking for a moment, Wu Lai smiled and said, "The general is right. As long as the bandit problem is not eliminated, Yanma Town will not be at peace. However, Yanma Town is in ruins now, and its main focus is on construction. In addition, the previous attempts to resist the bandits were successful. For the time being, the bandits dare not come to harass us. I think it will be okay to delay the suppression of the bandits."

Plancy became anxious when he heard this. Not only had there been no wars to fight in the past few years, but he was even bored of the militia training. He had spoken up so shamelessly, so how could he just give up?

"Lord Wu Lai, I know you must have your foresight, but I really want to serve you. Think about it, even if Salt Marsh Town doesn't suppress the bandits now, it will do so one day, right? I will go with you now, first to get familiar with the environment, and second to do the things like recruiting soldiers. You leave the training to me, and I will definitely help you train the soldiers well." Plancy said, patting his chest.

"General Plancy, let's not talk about suppressing bandits for now. You are the deputy general of the northwest district militia of Assyrian City. According to your rank, you are higher than me. It is inappropriate to ask you to condescend to my Salt Marsh Town." Wu Lai said with a smile.

"It's appropriate. How can it not be appropriate? Don't worry, Lord Wu Lai. My greatest advantage is that I always know where I am. Not to mention in Salt Marsh Town, even here in Assyrian City, I, the deputy general of the district militia, will definitely listen to your orders. When we arrive at Salt Marsh Town, if you tell me to go east, I will definitely not go north." Plancy said seriously.

Wu Lai sighed, thinking that he had seen enthusiastic people before, but he had never seen someone as enthusiastic as you. Could it be that you have a pair of eyes that can see everything in the future clearly? Or did that old guy Qi Yuan talk in his sleep and you heard him? Seeing Wu Lai's silence, Plancy became even more anxious. The deputy commander of the Northwest District's militia was good at bluffing the ignorant little nobles, but in fact he had nothing. He was just a head of the Northwest District's guard house. How could he be so free and easy on the battlefield?

"Lord Wu Lai, I also know that Salt Marsh Town is under construction. You are busy with affairs and may not have time to take care of the bandit suppression for the time being. However, this matter cannot be delayed." Plancy decided to throw out a backup plan. "Lord Wu Lai, I have a suggestion. You can leave the bandit suppression of Salt Marsh Town to me. You don't have to worry about the soldiers, food, weapons, logistics, and training. You just need to set aside a piece of land for me, and I will take care of the barracks myself. How do you think?"

Huh? There is such a good thing? Wu Lai was really interested when he heard it. If Plancy did what he said, Salt Marsh Town would have an extra army for free. This sounded really good.

"General Plancy, there are still some things I don't understand. For example, how are you going to explain to your family when you leave Assyrian City? Also, why are you so keen on suppressing bandits..." Wu Lai frowned and expressed his doubts. What Plancy had just said was very tempting, but the problem was that he had to figure it out before he could consider it.

"Master Wu Lai, it's too easy to explain to the family. I'm in this position now, and there are too many people in the family who can take over." Plancy replied, "I won't hide it from you, Master. I have three major hobbies..."

After Plancy told him everything, Wu Lai finally understood and thought that this guy was a warmonger.

"General Plancy, suppressing bandits is not an easy task. Even if I want to help you, it will be in vain with the current financial resources of Salt Marsh Town..." Wu Lai said with embarrassment. In fact, he had already thought of agreeing to Plancy to go to Salt Marsh Town. Although he had been officially recognized by Qiyuan Duncan, it was a good thing to have one more person from the Duncan family in Salt Marsh Town. At least it could dispel some suspicions and allow him to spend less time trying to figure out how to deal with it.

"Oh, my Lord Wu Lai, don't worry. Salt Marsh Town doesn't have to pay a penny to you. I will recruit soldiers, train battles, and fight. I can also use a part of the income from suppressing bandits to support the construction of Salt Marsh Town. Of course, considering that the cost of suppressing bandits is quite high, maybe it can only be a token of my appreciation." Plancy said.

"You support your troops by fighting. That's right." Wu Lai nodded with a smile. "I also want to ask, how many soldiers does General Plancy plan to recruit?"

When Plancy heard that this meant something interesting, he was delighted and quickly counted everything on his fingers to Wu Lai. As Wu Lai listened, he began to look at this rough-looking strong man in front of him in a different light.

When Woolley picked up his pen again to write the plan, Plancy excitedly whipped his horse and headed straight for the Northwest District Militia's base, because Woolley said that he would rest in Assyria for another 20 days, which means that Plancy only had 20 days to prepare...

Although it was impossible to predict how much benefit a group of people with unknown combat effectiveness but absolutely overwhelming fighting enthusiasm could bring to Salt Marsh Town, Woolley still had high hopes for Plancy. As he was familiar with military history in his previous memory, he naturally knew that a true warmonger would not only bring war and destruction.

Plancy's voluntary surrender was an unexpected gain for Wu Lai, but it did not cause any interference to his rhythm or plan. After all, at the moment, the top priority is to make Qiyuan, Connor and Gosmondo nervous.

Two days later, Qi Yuan and Connor each received a detailed plan...

Another half a month later, Wu Lai, whose leg injury was almost healed, walked into the Shuman Mansion - he came to thank Eddie in person. Although there had been unpleasantness in the past, this time he had received a great favor of saving his life, and it would be unreasonable not to thank him in person.

What Wu Lai didn't expect was that Yin'er walked into the living room with a smile on her face just after he sat down for a while.

"Wu Lai, I didn't expect you to come to Xiuman's house. It's been almost a year since we last saw each other, right?" Yin'er asked as he sat down on the big soft chair opposite Wu Lai.

"It's been almost that long, but General Inr is still as beautiful and heroic as ever. Could it be that the god Amon is specially favoring you?" Wu Lai responded with a smile.

"What you said sounds good, but I can't believe it. I am getting older every year." Yin'er's smile became even more intense. "Let's not talk about these empty words. I know why you, Wuleglin, are here. It will take a while for Eddie to dress up. I also have something I want to talk to you about. Do you mind?"

"I couldn't ask for more to have a casual chat with General Yin'er. Why would I mind?" Wu Lai said with a laugh, but he was actually worried in his heart. He thought, if you insist on chatting with me, then I can only not mind. This is your home and you have the final say.

"As I said just now, let's not use empty words or politeness to each other and get straight to the point." Yin'er looked at Wu Lai and nodded, "Wu Lai, I really admire you..."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Wu Lai was startled, thinking, what on earth do you mean by this admiration? Are you trying to be a matchmaker for someone?

"You are really an important person. Look, you should have come back for vacation this time. You can make such a big fuss while on vacation. I'm afraid only you, Wuleglindo, can do that." Yin'er said with a smile.

Wu Lai smiled slightly but did not respond. It would be abnormal if Yin'er had not received any news after so many days.

"Chief Qiyuan, Chief Connor, and Lord Gus have all been busy recently." Yin Er continued, "Wulai, according to reliable information, Gusmondo has decided to participate in the chief election in two years, but we don't know whether he prefers the Supreme Council or the Senate."

"Really?" Wu Lai frowned slightly, but his heart was calm. Not to mention that these things had been expected by him. Four days ago, he heard the news from Qi Yuan. On the same night, Connor also sent someone to deliver the news to the Green Building. Now that it came out of Yin'er's mouth, there was really nothing surprising.

Yiner suddenly sighed and said, "We didn't expect that Cosmondo's followers would exceed our previous imagination. Judging from his social connections during this period, he has already gained 40% of the support in the Supreme Council, and the same is true for the Senate. In other words, Cosmondo has long had the strength to compete with the two chiefs. What's more, he has a close relationship with the High Priest Saint Lean. If he wants to take the position, the High Priest will definitely support him. By then, it will be hard to say who will win."

Wu Lai nodded. Although what Yin'er said just now about "40% certainty" was a bit exaggerated, it was not far from the truth. In an era where the strong are respected, what is being competed for is comprehensive strength. Qiyuan's side is better off, after all, he has the First Legion in his hands. Connor's side is weak, because although the Supreme Council has military command, the only one that will really side with Connor is probably the Fourth Legion.

Yin Er went on to say, "There are many things to consider in the competition for the chief position. If you think about it carefully, Cosmondo is not inferior to Connor or even Duncan in any aspect. Of course, there is the support of Mondo Woye. However, Wu Lai, Cosmondo has demonstrated his strength in such a short time. This shows that some people in both the Supreme Council and the Senate have long been secretly dissatisfied with Qi Yuan and Connor. This is why Cosmondo has made many achievements in recent days. If he loses the support of the people, it will be difficult to regain it even if he has great power."

"Yesterday, Cosmondo came to visit my house, but returned empty-handed." Iner smiled, "Because I told him that the primary responsibility of the Second Legion is to protect the Assyrian people from foreign aggression. As a result, he got a little angry..."

"General Yin'er, just speak frankly. I, Wu Lailindo, am not an ungrateful person. I will never forget Eddie's kindness in saving me." Wu Lai interrupted Yin'er with a smile.

"Okay, then I'll be frank. I hope you can secretly design some new weapons for us, because only by surpassing them in combat power can we be invincible. Assyria needs an unshakable army, Wu Lai, as long as you do it, I promise that this army will be your friend." Inr said.

"I can consider this, but I can't guarantee that I can conceive weapons that will satisfy you in a short period of time. You know that's not something that can be done as soon as you say it." Wu Lai answered while thinking about Yin'er's intentions in his heart. The competition for supporters over there has become increasingly open, while this side has not only ignored him and refused to participate, but also focused on armaments. This was somewhat beyond Wu Lai's expectations.

I know this, but I hope it can be done as soon as possible. We will spare no effort to help you with anything you need." Yin Er nodded, and after a slight hesitation, he continued, "Wu Lai, you have been supported by Chief Connor, and now you have joined Chief Qi Yuan. Outsiders may think that you are getting along well with everyone, but I don't think so. I think that both Connor and Qi Yuan have bound you."

"You flatter me too much, General Yin'er." Wu Lai said with an moved heart.

"Let's stop here for today. We will have many opportunities to meet in the future." Yin Er smiled and stood up to say goodbye. "Wait a moment, Eddie will be here soon."

Wu Lai nodded and stood up. After watching Yin Er leave, he returned to his seat and began to frown and think...

After a while, a clear voice came into Wu Lai's ears: "Are you tired of waiting, Wu Lai Grindo?"

Wu Lai looked up and his eyes lit up immediately. Oh my god, it’s only been a short while since I last saw her, and she’s become much prettier…
