Chapter 1048
"You lunatic...you want to destroy the fortress of Broken Boundary Mountain?!"
Sure enough...
When Dresis surprised and angry At the moment the roar of's voice reverberated in the laboratory, Isaac rolled his eyes and immediately showed an expression of "Same as I thought".
In the log Isaac ·Grantham wrote to himself many years later, he described his mood at that time like this:
"For a person who has ideas and is committed to work, even He is not a genius, and what he has done is not a great cause-the most difficult and almost impossible thing to accomplish is not to complete the thing, because he has already been mentally prepared.
The most difficult thing to do is... Others explain what they are doing and why they are doing it.
You will find that you don’t understand why the other person asks this. Even if you really try to figure it out, you will find that the other person is basically impossible Figure out what you’re explaining.
It’s the most terrifying thing in the world to have a mouth explain the problem to two ears...because before you speak, the other person already has a "predicted "Answer.
So there are only two results-the real one, and the one he wants to hear.
The latter is basically a deception, and if you explain the problem carefully ...Not to mention whether he can accept it. If he accepts it, most of his first reaction is that you are fooling or lie to him.
It's like people who see this log at this moment other than me , Most of it is impossible to understand my mood and feelings at the time.
And if you can understand, maybe because you have a similar experience, that is...I just said the answer "you want to hear". ......"
"I need an explanation--!"
Drecis's roar brought Isaac back to reality with rolling eyes.
In the empty laboratory, there is dead silence.
Faced with the angry Dresis, Isaac was surprisingly calm, without a trace of mockery or contempt in his eyes.
Replaced with him before marriage... I am afraid that he pointed to the heads of these potatoes, and then made a very profound remark that he was "how genius".
"Drecis...the commander, what you want is not an explanation." Isaac raised his eyes, his voice was very small, but it was enough for everyone present to hear To:
"I was wrong. As long as I obey your orders, the fortress of Broken Boundary Mountain will be able to defend...this is what you want to hear."
"You want me Said that the fortress of Broken Boundary Mountain can be held."
"You--?!"
Suddenly, Dresis grabbed Isaac's collar instinctively. , Brought up this scruffy and thin wizard:
"Isaac Grantham, you, you..." The voice of the deputy commander of the fortress trembled violently, desperately suppressing the burning anger in his heart:
"Do you want to say that the fortress of Broken Worlds Mountain...can't be guarded?!"
"I didn't say that." Isaac sighed, who did not resist, spoke with him. Look at each other: "I just came to the conclusion I need through calculations."
"If you need our talents to be able to defend the fortress, then this fortress is absolutely unstoppable; if Do you think we can do without us... Then why do you appear here, what are we doing and what does it have to do with the survival of the fortress?"
Dresses both shocked and angry, gnashing teeth His right hand, holding Isaac's collar tightly, was still trembling.
"You...this wizard who believes oneself infallible, who has given you the privileges so arrogantly?!"
"Say! Who gave you the power?! "
"I gave it to him."
The slight voice interrupted Drexis' questioning without warning.
The deputy commander of the fortress, who was still furious just now, suddenly froze like an electric shock, motionless standing in place.
Knight and wizards in the laboratory looked at each other in blank dismay, and turned their eyes to the direction of the sound in surprise.
The expressionless Connold Desalion stood alone in front of the door, standing with his hands behind him.
"Your Majesty is here!"
In a rush of loud shouts, the officers and wizards followed Connold’s steps one-knee kneels, It's like a wave being split.
The shocked Drexis turned his head blankly, not knowing what to do, looking at the silhouette walking towards him.
"Your Majesty, I don't know..."
"If you don't know what to do, let's put down our Sir Isaac first." Connold expressionless. , Glanced at the arrogant wizard with a flushed face and struggling like a lobster: "If you are going to strangle him, then..."
"Ah! I, I just didn't pay attention... "
He hurriedly released Isaac, who had almost died of suffocation, and Dresis quickly lowered his head and pressed the corners of his mouth tightly.
After a panic, the surrounding wizards and Knights finally gathered up their courage and stepped forward.
"Ask what you want." Looking at his hesitant expression, Connold said quietly: "As the first commander of the fortress of Duanjieshan, you have the right to know All secrets."
Dresses, who clenched his fists tightly and dared not look directly at Connold’s eyes, said with difficulty: "Your Majesty, what you just said about Isaac Grantham’s actions is It is your permission..."
"Yes."
A light sentence is like a bolt from the blue to Dresis!
"Accurately speaking, it should be acquiescence." Connold's eyes lowered, always observing his expression: "I know what he is doing, and I didn't stop him."
"Why?!"
This is the thing that Drexis least understands: "In your view, your Majesty, the fortress of Broken Boundary Mountain will definitely fall? !"
"Could it be that you don’t believe that under your dominance, the empire...can't even guard the Duanjieshan Fortress?!"
Unwilling questioning voice Reverberating in the laboratory, the expressions of everyone present were somewhat shocked.
Connold, like the default, does not say a word from start to finish.
After one minute, Connold finally met Drexis's constant gaze.
"Ernst Drexis, and everyone." Connold said solemnly: "What is our mission?"
Everyone was stunned. .
"Is it the establishment of meritorious service in the fortress of Duanjieshan, killing the Azores, killing more Azores, or killing all the elves?" The highest emperor of the empire, that fiery-red His gaze swept away with majesty:
"Neither, the reason we are here is that we have to defend here-because if we fail, the enemy will be able to drive straight in and destroy the foundations of the empire, and we...will not have Any room to fight back!"
"So for the past five days, we have been fighting the enemy to the end at all costs, and we have always persisted, even if there is only a little hope, we will not give up-because if we give up No one will help us pick it up again!"
"We are not here to prove ourselves, not for glory, wealth, and status; we are here because if we are not there, no one will replace us."
In the laboratory, Connold's voice is getting louder and louder. The flaming gaze has stared at every one looked towards him, or dare not look into his eyes:
"It is true that we will do our best to keep the enemy out of the fortress of Duanjieshan; I I am also willing to believe that all of you under Commander Drexis can do your best to complete impossible battles."
"I believe you...you, if I need to prove this. I myself don’t mind standing next to you when the battle is fierce. Many of you have fought alongside me, and you all know what I say is true."
"But precisely because of this, because everything we do is so important, because we all know what will happen if the enemy breaks through the fortress and goes south?"
"Imperial Capital one million people Counting on us, thousands of people in Sackland are counting on us, all over the empire...thousands of ordinary persons living on their own land are counting on our victory, but we must do the worst Plan!"
"If we fight to death, who can appear under the fortress of Duanjieshan at a critical moment?"
"If we repel the elves, the monsters will again Initiated an invasion?"
"If Eboden’s enemies suddenly go north, repel our reinforcements, pinch the boundary mountain fortress on both sides...what should I do?"
"Everyone , We have too many worries, we...really can't afford to lose, and we can't afford to lose once." Standing in place, Connold loudly said:
"Therefore... Connold De Salion implores you to bring me victory. If you can’t..."
"Then please be determined to be with Duanjieshan... to burn the flames!"
Reverberated in the hall.
Dressis, who is still bowing his head, trembles with his hands and feet, and his face is hot.
In the entire laboratory, almost everyone thinks that His Majesty Connold’s words are taking the opportunity to boost morale and rejuvenate the warriors who have been fighting for five days and five nights, but...
Only him...only Dresis understands, not so.
This is not Connold's style at all!
From the first day in charge of the army, His Majesty has been extremely disgusted with any speeches made to the soldiers. What he admired more is the prohibition, so that every soldier can understand his mission and needs as much as possible. Implementation plan.
Connold is even more opposed to the at first battle, telling the soldiers that they must be determined to fight to the death-a last fight can indeed have the effect of mourning the soldiers, but it will also make more of the original The soldiers who didn't have much courage were even more depressed, and no longer had the confidence to fight to survive.
So, this is not your majesty boosting morale, but covering up mistakes.
Cover his...Dressis' mistakes.
From the moment he broke into the laboratory, His Majesty knew that he was not trying to find the cause of the problem, but to find a scapegoat, and to find someone who could bear his own failure in the "just in case" Only after completing the mission and guarding the scapegoat of Duanjieshan Fortress!
For his own sake, His Majesty Connold had to go uncharacteristically and publicly promote the slogan of "death to the death"!
………………………………
Connold did not return until the complex expression of Dercis and the Knight officers left the laboratory. Come, look towards Isaac, who always sits next to him without saying a word:
"How's the progress?"
"Do you mean the preparation of the magic array, or this system When will it work?"
Isaac, with Erlang's legs and sloppy hair, shrugged and asked casually: "If it's the first one, it will take at least a week for this kind of large monster. Array I have no experience at all, and I can’t find anyone with experience, so I can only find it by little by little."
"The only Corona with experience in this area is... forget it, The dead will not mention it; in short, it takes 5-6 days to complete the preparation as soon as possible, but..."
"But if we just want to meet our expectations, we don’t need the whole magic The array is all completed."
Glancing at the complex patterns under his feet, Connaught coldly said: "It just... caused an earthquake, destroyed the fortress of Broken Boundary Mountain, and buried it in the collapsed mountain. It is not difficult for Sir Isaac Grantham to make the enemy in the north unable to pass this kind of thing?"
"It's really easy, and the tone is not small."
Slowly got up, holding Isaac's face on his shoulders without any difficulty: "But I like it!"
Connold's eyes narrowed.
"Isaac, you should understand that, if it is to the point where the fortress of Broken Boundary Mountain has to be sealed...Loren Torino, it is equivalent to cutting off his only back path."
p>"What you do is the same as killing your own friends with your own hands, even leaving thousands of people with nowhere to escape in the ice sheet."
That’s right...If the fortress of Broken Boundary Mountain is destroyed , Even if the defenders in the fortress could have time to evacuate all, Loren Torino and the thousands of warriors who are still in the Valley of Blood Skeletons, there is really no way to leave this glacier wasteland!
"I know." Nodded of Isaac as it should be by rights:
"It's better to say that the guy knew this and asked me to stay here; The task he gave me was to defend the Fortress of Duanjieshan no matter what-since it is no matter what, then it should be reasonable not to consider him life and death?"
"Of course...as his Senior, I trust his ability, but I also care about his life and death; I will leave here after guarding the fortress of Broken Boundary Mountain and go to the Blood Skeleton Valley to find him, don’t you have any comments?"
Connold Nodded, I didn't ask too much nonsense like "how do you go".
so that's how it is, is the wizard all planned before leaving?
In order to set up an overall plan for the goal of disregarding one's own safety, and in the worst case, it can guarantee the realization of the most basic plan-so cautious and meticulous.
It's worthy of the chess piece that the Imperial Father looks after...
"Then, I beg you, Sir Isaac." Connold whispered: "When necessary, I will I want to let you know."
"Well, leave it to me." After yawning, Isaac waved at him:
"It’s so late, just rest. Go ahead, big cousin."
Big cousin...
Connold's expression twitched, and he walked towards the door of the laboratory without saying a word.
"Woo————————!!!"
Before he left, a rapid horn sounded; Derecy with a pale face Si rushed back from the outside in a hurry:
"The Azores raided the fortress, please go to the tower immediately for shelter——!"
