These big shots are actually me - #68 - Chapter 68
While the old man was telling lies that he didn’t believe, he comforted Gebu who was obviously panicking.
He already has a good plan, but it will take some time and luck.
“Master Young Wolf, just relax for now. You must not panic now. Please quickly assemble the troops in Storm’s End. Then split up the officers leading them.”
“Yes, I can’t panic, I can’t panic, hey, but what do you mean by splitting?”
The old fox twitched the corner of his mouth and explained speechlessly:
“It is to disrupt the organization of the army, but it should be too late, so I hope you can disrupt the organization of the officers and let strange officers lead strange soldiers!”
“This will effectively avoid possible rebellion!”
“Ah, what a great idea, what a great idea!”
Gebu’s eyes lit up at these words, and then Gebu was driven by the old fox to walk to Gawain. He asked condescendingly:
“Gao Wenqing, who are you loyal to?”
Gawain immediately lowered his head:
“I am loyal to the real person who can take over the big responsibility!”
The words were not straightforward, which made Gebu very dissatisfied, but he could not do anything to Gawain.
He just suppressed the anger in his heart under the old fox’s persuasion, but he said he suppressed it, but in fact he just didn’t say it out loud. His expression clearly showed dissatisfaction and displeasure.
He never thought that if Gawain really wanted to betray him, he would have been pinned to the ground long ago.
But then he was prompted by the old fox and said with a smile:
“I may not be good enough, but I believe I will be better than a tyrant’s dog!”
This sentence caused the princes present to fall silent for a while. Gawain also lowered his head slightly with dark eyes. After a moment of silence, he asked:
“What are your plans?”
“Let the soldiers prepare for battle. We are backed by a fortified city. We have sufficient war preparation materials and a lot of soldiers. The opponent lacks siege weapons. By holding Storm’s End, we can rely on our base in the north to steadily conquer.”
A very reasonable and insightful sentence, and it is also the only solution to this situation under normal circumstances.
But unfortunately, many things cannot be thought of according to normal logic.
“I understand. I will prepare the soldiers for battle.”
“more than.”
Gebu stopped Gawain who was about to leave, and whispered again:
“I need you to disrupt the ranks of the officers.”
Gawain was slightly stunned, but in the end he chose to nod and salute, and then left the hall with a large number of princes. Only a few people and Governor Morris remained here.
Governor Morris glanced at Gawain who was leaving, then looked past Gebu at the old fox, and then frowned.
Although there was no evidence, he had a hunch that everything Gebu said and took actions must have been directed by him behind his back.
From this look, this person is very capable.
But since when did the Heather Empire have such an old man?
Under Gawain’s arrangement, officers at all levels were temporarily assigned to serve as commanders of the remaining troops.
However, even the temporary change of generals did not significantly reduce the efficiency of the soldiers in the north.
They were still climbing the city in an orderly manner under Gawain’s command to prepare for battle.
Soon everything was ready, just waiting for the arrival of Mozo and others.
Logically speaking, Gebu should also come to the city to boost morale, but he didn’t. He just cowered and hid in the castle and appointed a crony to replace him.
This time, even if the old fox personally persuaded him, it was not effective.
Because he was really scared. One is that he is afraid of dying in the chaos, and the other is that he is afraid of meeting the so-called orthodox.
This performance made the old fox shake his head in disgust.
It was obvious that he had taken the lead and became the Lord of the North. It was obvious that as long as his performance could meet the expectations of the princes of the North, even if Mo Zuo came by then, he might not be able to shake his position so smoothly.
Because the matter of first come, first served is really very realistic. After all, the princes chose and loyal to him first. In this way, Mozo becomes more orthodox.
It should be difficult to easily shake the opponent’s position. After all, if Mo Zuo comes to power, the status of those princes who chose Gebu first will be very embarrassing.
The people and soldiers in the north may be sincerely loyal to the Lang family, because the old wolf master is really good to them. But among the princes here, except for the old people back then, the remaining people may not be very loyal to the Lang family.
Treating Clay Legs as human beings and letting Clay Legs’ lives be equal to those of nobles is not something that every noble wants to see.
The oaths of their parents and even their ancestors are not binding on them in any way.
They will gather under the banner of the Wolf family just because this is in line with maximizing their interests. This point is reflected in the leading nobles of the two intercepting forces.
In their own opinion, they can no longer defect from their position.
But under such a basic situation, Gebu’s poor performance gave Mozo great hope of making a comeback.
Thinking about it like this, the old fox couldn’t help but sigh more and more.
But the opponent’s bloodline and ease of control also make him destined to be unable to give up such an excellent chess piece.
Because the other party is still an indispensable part of his plan.
But for the first time, the old fox sincerely hopes that his chess pieces can exceed his expectations as a chess player and even control him.
Because that way we have a chance to simply deal with that damn Mozo.
Now it can only be seen whether his old friend can arrive as soon as possible.
If it can, then the North should be able to remain in the hands of the chess pieces. If not, he would have to find a way to get the Storm’s End defenders to fight with Mozo’s troops. To prevent the Northern Territory from completely falling into the hands of Mozo, the Queen’s loyal dog.
To the old fox, Mozo was 100% a loyal dog of the Queen, otherwise the woman would not have been able to throw out dozens of important border towns so easily.
This could only be Mozo’s plan.
And this is also the biggest reason why Gawain and other old people from the north still follow the chess piece. They still can’t make up their mind to trust Mo Zuo, who has an ambiguous relationship with the queen.
But why can Queen Isabel trust Mozo so much? You know she killed the other party’s ancestor!
Subconsciously, the old fox remembered the joke he had made with the strong man that day – Mozzo was the illegitimate son of the Queen and Cromwell.
No, no, this is even more impossible, but this idea was immediately rejected by the old fox.
If this is the case, then why did Isabelle kill Cromwell? If this is the case, she can clearly use and rely on the Cromwellians as her own power.
There is no need to kill the other party to bring down the powerful Cromwellian faction. That would only weaken or even divide Lorraine.
You must know that Lorraine is very strong now, but it is not enough to compare with when Cromwell was alive.
At the same time, a wife wants to kill her husband who has already given birth to children with her?
This idea makes no sense either logically or practically.
But in this case, why does Queen Isabel trust Mozo, a pureblood of the Wolf family, so much?
Isn’t she afraid of being bitten to death by the wolf cub she raised? Or is she just so confident that she can control the Lang family?
Is there any hidden secret in it that I don’t know about?
The old fox is indeed the best supporting character appointed by Mozo. He has already begun to think about what Mozo wants him to think about at the right time and at the right place.
I believe that with his intelligence, he should soon be able to guess the ‘circuit’ that Mozo deliberately left for him.
This brings this grand opera to a conclusion that satisfies all parties.
–
On the top of Storm’s End Castle, the lion Gawain was standing alone on the top of the city looking at the distant horizon.
Not long after, a subordinate told Gawain:
“My lord, they are approaching Storm’s End.”
However, it did not enter the eyes of Gawain and others. After waiting for a long time, Mozo and others appeared in the sight of the defenders of Storm’s End.
When they saw Mozo riding on the back of the red wolf, the entire defenders of Storm’s End were in an uproar.
The old wolf master’s red wolf only accepted the old wolf master’s ride, but now he let a young man ride on his back.
Does this mean that the other party is really a pure blood of the Wolf family?
If this is the case, what will be the situation for those who are enemies of the other party? Can their behavior really be called correct?
Gawain also smiled bitterly and then silently lowered his head.
His heart was very conflicted, because he had a premonition that once he bowed his head to Mo Zuo, the old master would completely lose hope of revenge.
This is something Gawain can never accept.
But he couldn’t do it at all if he was asked to attack the last heir of his old master.
Tyrant, is this the explanation you gave us?
You made a lone wolf from the north your loyal dog?
How vicious and despicable!
After thinking of this, Gawain could no longer hold on and slowly knelt down at the top of the city. This powerful demigod leaned helplessly on the wall like a fish about to be fucked to death, unable to hold back and despair. ‘s breathing heavily.
The nobleman behind Gawain, the man sent by Gebu, saw Mozo continuing to approach but the defenders did not fire a single shot.
He quickly said to Gawain in fear:
“My lord, quickly give the order to resist! He is coming, and the soldiers are also confused. You must stand up and lead them!”
In response, Gawain couldn’t help but lie down on the top of the city and glanced down at Mozuo who was riding on the back of the wolf.
Immediately there was another bitter smile that was difficult to understand.
Like, so similar. If it weren’t for the huge difference in appearance between the two, Gawain would have thought that his old master had returned.
That expression and posture, that calmness and unhurriedness, were exactly the same as those of his old master.
After thinking of this, Gawain shook his head bitterly and said:
“I can’t deceive myself anymore. I can’t do it, and the soldiers here can’t do it either. He, he is the young master!”
114 The young wolf master who tricked the fox to death (4k)
After hearing Gawain’s words, the noble’s expression immediately changed. After gritting his teeth, he turned around and tried to pass over Gawain to order an attack.
But it was discovered that the soldiers on the city wall had put down their weapons. Seeing this, his expression changed again. He quickly stepped forward and grabbed an officer, grabbed him by the collar and said fiercely:
“Prepare your soldiers for battle!”
The officer who was grabbed by his collar was stunned at first, and then said incredulously:
“Are you crazy? That is undoubtedly the true descendant of the Wolf family!”
“But it’s not him we’re loyal to!”
The noble shouted these words almost like a roar.
After hearing these words, the amusement and helplessness on the officer’s face immediately dissipated, and turned to a coldness that made the nobleman shiver. He pushed away the nobleman’s hand holding his collar. :
“I can’t possibly listen to you, and neither can the soldiers here.”
When the noble saw that an ordinary officer dared to do this to him, he became even more angry and instinctively wanted to draw his sword. But before that, the soldiers beside him finally raised their guns, but instead of pointing them downward, they aimed them at him.
“Do you know what you are doing?”
The noble seemed to know the outcome, but he still roared unwillingly. Gawain finally stood up and spoke:
“enough.”
Compared to the nobles, Gawain is quite prestigious. When the soldiers heard this, they all put down their weapons and silently retreated to the side.
The nobles, as if grasping a life-saving straw, rushed forward and grabbed Gawain and said:
“My lord, have you figured it out?”
But Gawain shook his head and said:
“It’s time for you to recognize the reality. Stop. Your actions are really ugly.”
While Gawain was speaking, a voice came from somewhere:
“Open the city gate!”
