Chapter 750 Chess
At the same time
The southwest of the Innocence Continent, the Dreamland Theocracy, the underground church
"The Lord favors me."
" My body is the eyes of the Lord”
“My heart is the ear of the Lord.”
“Close, close, close.”
“In an instant, in an instant, in an instant.”
“In tune, in tune, in tune. .”
“Everywhere I am is the Lord’s Kingdom of God!”
"Everything I see is the blessing of the Lord!"
"The sounds I hear are all the Lord's ravings!"
In the open hall, all kinds of believers "Praying devoutly, there are men and women, old and young, common people and rich businessmen, nobles and believers. Apart from the crazy expressions on their faces and the messy BB sounds in their mouths, they have nothing in common. They are everywhere, but they believe in the same master who is recognized by the world as the 'evil god'.
“Ah, the whisper of praise, the omniscient and almighty redeemer.”
In the prayer room directly below the hall, a man wearing a monocle and a silver-white trench coat opened his arms exaggeratedly hands, chanting feverishly.
He has long black hair that hangs over his shoulders, and his facial features are delicate and feminine. Except for the undisguised mockery on his face that is completely inconsistent with his tone, he is a completely pious and mentally deranged handsome man.
"Lord Lamorlock."
The illusory figure in the center of the room snorted impatiently, and his old tone was particularly gloomy: "If your compliment is not sincere, just please don't do it to my lord He made such an exaggerated and disrespectful act under the watchful eyes.”
The young staff officer who launched an extremely bloody offensive three months ago and took over a county in the Griffin Dynasty has been hiding in the dark. A smile, a pair of slender phoenixes He narrowed his eyes slightly, bowed politely to the illusory figure to apologize, and after the other person's lightly coded old face softened slightly, he said softly: "Please forgive my excitement. , Archbishop Eden, it was fashionable at the time when I became a Christian. "Short, this is the first time I have seen such a large battle, so I can't help but want to praise my Lord's supreme power. If there is anything I didn't do well, please don't hesitate to point it out."
"Hypocrisy." .”
The old man known as Archbishop Eden still seemed unhappy. After hearing what the other party said, he immediately said coldly: "Even across the entire continent, I can feel that you have no piety in your praise of our Lord. "
Lamorlock shrugged, took two steps back and sat calmly on the large seat in the back of the prayer room, folded his legs and said with a smile: "As far as hypocrisy is concerned. If so, you and I should talk to each other, after all, we just made clear accusations My Archbishop Eden, you were still calling me 'Lord Lamorlock' before~"
"I am just showing the most basic courtesy to you."
Eden. The archbishop's shadow shook slightly, and his voice became sharper: "It is fundamentally different from your disrespect for our Lord!"
"No, no, no, there is actually no difference between the two. What a difference.”
Lamorlock shook his head, spread his hands and said: "Think about it, I am not unhappy at all with your half-hearted respect, and my Lord has not sent down divine punishment for my perfunctory praise. So as far as the results are concerned, what you call 'fundamentally different' is actually just an idealistic narcissism, an intoxication with your own piety."
"You"
Archbishop Eden. His voice trembled angrily.
"And I am much more realistic than you."
Lamorlock slowly crossed his hands in front of the tip of his nose and said calmly: "At least it won't cost as much as you do. Manpower and material resources were mobilized to carry out a "demonstration" that can be called stupid. ”
"Demonstration?"
The other party laughed angrily and asked loudly: "What do you mean?"
"The literal meaning, whether it is 'stupid' or 'demonstration', is just It's just the literal meaning, please don't over-interpret it."
Lamorlock still had the same smiling face, but his words were as ruthless as a razor blade: "Calling you 'stupid', Naturally, it refers to the point of 'consuming a lot of manpower and material resources'. As for 'demonstration', haha, you think you have a chance of winning and contact me at this time, the Southwest Diocese. Does it have any other meanings?"
" I just”
Archbishop Eden's voice gradually became stern and bitter.
“You are just worried about being compared with us. After all, the southeastern diocese has just suffered a heavy blow a few months ago, and the northwest diocese is even more disorganized. In comparison, as the only two people like you who have not been beaten by us, The southwest diocese abandoned by the Lord will naturally be regarded as a thorn in the side of you, the head of the northeast diocese who is constantly frustrated."
Lamorlock interrupted him impatiently and said leisurely: "Use tens of thousands of believers to gather together. He came to contact us with a murmuring magic. On the surface, it seemed to be to communicate the situation. In fact, to be honest, it was all for my Lord to see. That’s why Archbishop Yueying had no intention of communicating with you. Instead, he asked me, who seems to have a high status, but in fact There is no one with real power to listen to your nonsense."
There was a long silence
"It seems that we can't reach a consensus, Lord Lamoroch."
< br>
Archbishop Eden seemed to have calmed down and said in a deep voice: "In that case, let this 'provocative and meaningless' conversation end. I still have a lot of things to do here, and I will wait for the future. "
"Wait a minute, Lord Bishop"
Lamorlock suddenly raised his hand to stop Eden who was about to cut off the communication, and said with a smile: "Although I don't know who you are. What do you think, but But I want to make this conversation a little more meaningful."
The gradually dissipating shadow in the middle of the room solidified again: "How can I say this?"
< br>"To put it simply, I got a small amount of information through some means that did not have high expectations, and sorted it out a little in my spare time, and then made some not very beautiful inferences."
Lamorlock smiled with an unknown meaning and said calmly: "You can understand that during this period, I have basically mastered the Northeast Diocese's information about the offensive on the Holy Mountain Sumir, and I also discovered some information by the way. Elements that are not very favorable to Archbishop Eden."
Archbishop Eden was silent for a few seconds, and then asked in a disgusted tone: "You sent people to infiltrate the believers who were recruited to Sumir. ?”
“It’s really sad to use the word ‘sneak in’”
Lamorlock didn’t mean to deny it at all, he just said with a smile: “It should be said. It’s because we care about our Lord’s great cause that we specially sent a small number of elites to support your diocese when we don’t have enough manpower. After all, we are all believers in our Lord, why do we have to separate you and me?”
Archbishop Eden snorted and said impatiently: "Okay, so what if you understand the situation here, no one expected that the barbarians in the east would fall into civil strife at this time, allowing the Holy Cult to Is there anything wrong with the strategy of uniting those people to organize an expeditionary force to support Sumir, temporarily suspending the offensive under such circumstances, and waiting for the opportunity while concentrating superior forces? ""Of course there is a problem."
Lamorlock gave the answer without hesitation, and said calmly: "First of all, even if I don't know much, I can still judge the holy religion from the scattered information. The United Expeditionary Force has no intention of intervening early. The reason is very simple. The orcs in Sumir who believe in shamanism are unlikely to be developed into believers. Although due to position issues, they have to send support when they have spare capacity. But I think you should know the strength of those 'supports' better than me, right?"
Archbishop Eden hesitated slightly, and then immediately retorted: "Even so, we are already at a disadvantage in terms of strength. Don't be cautious!"
"Well, yes, of course it is right to be cautious, but you are being cautious in the wrong place."
Lamorlock raised his index finger and pushed the left eye. Lens, laughed jokingly: "At this stage, the Holy Union is actually not something to be afraid of. Although they will definitely take action when Sumir is defeated across the board, without knowing your core goals, it is almost impossible to fall behind every step of the way. It is inevitable, so I personally think that the place where you should be cautious is Sumir.”
"Sumir?"
Archbishop Eden was stunned for a moment, then shook his head in amusement: "Those orcs who have been suppressed by us for nearly a year? Haha, what kind of climate have they become, if it is not the Holy Cult? The joint expeditionary force, how can we give them a chance to breathe?"
Lamorlock's squinted phoenix eyes opened slightly, revealing his eyes with faint dark green lines. of Eyes: "This is the interesting part. It is true that Sumirfang's performance was unsatisfactory in the past nearly a year, but in the recent period... Haha, Mr. Bishop, please ask yourself, what you just called ' "A chance to breathe," was it really left by you on purpose?"
"What do you mean?"
Archbishop Eden, who seemed to have noticed something, did not immediately refute. Instead he asked a question.
"What I mean is that if there are no major omissions in the information during this period, then compare it with what I knew before."
Lamorlock took a deep breath, and a light flashed in his eyes: "Holy Mountain Sumirfang probably got a talented commander. Although this person seems to have not been given full command power due to some reasons, such as being too junior or not yet fully trusted, this matter is very important to you and the Northeast Diocese. But it’s not a good sign.”
Archbishop Eden was obviously not the kind of person who couldn’t listen to suggestions, so after a brief silence, he continued to ask: “Maybe you can be more detailed. "Yes, Lord Lamolock."
"As you wish."
Lamolock didn't have any airs and answered happily: "Let's put it this way, according to what I got." Judging from the intelligence, starting from a certain period of time, well, it should be the days around the 3rd of the Star and Moon Prayer, several small forces on the Sumir side have obviously changed their rhythm, and their execution capabilities have increased at least ten times. Not only that, but as time goes by, until you completely withdraw the offensive, the proportion has increased by about 500%, which is equivalent to nearly 40% of Sumir’s mid-to-low-end strength.”
The shadow of Archbishop Eden nodded slightly, and his tone became a little unpredictable: "So what is your opinion?"
"I have already said that they may have got a talented commander."< br>
Lamorlock calmly stared at the shadow in front of him and said word by word: "A commander who can fully display his strength can overturn the situation of the battle in an instant."
" What does subversion mean? ”
“Kill you”
"What"
"Based on the premise of the hypothesis I just made, when the commander threw away all worries and seriously wanted to win this battle, he had unknowingly given up a lot of You who have the advantage will definitely face a fiasco, a huge fiasco."
"Giving up a lot of advantages?"
Archbishop Eden's voice was confused and angry.
“Of course, if I remember correctly, your diocese’s initial idea was to feint on the surface and infiltrate secretly. What was the result? Because Sumir’s overall strength was lower than expected, you gave up on the cycle. The lengthy plan turned to a storming of the Holy Mountain, but the result was that For the coming of the Holy Religion Union, you have already achieved preliminary results and secured many strategic points, but you have retreated. Not only have you resumed your previous infiltration plan, but you have also secretly summoned believers active in the Northeast Diocese seemingly steadily. , I want to grab it with both hands.”
As if he were a client, Lamorlock recounted the thoughts of Archbishop Eden and other leadership teams this year, and then chuckled: "But you don't know that this seemingly stable and cost-effective way actually turns out to be the most cost-effective way to achieve stability." It’s an outrageous mistake.”
“You said it was a mistake?”
Eden, who had personally issued many of the above orders, became even more annoyed.
"Of course it's a mistake."
Lamorlock smiled and asked softly: "Do you know chess games?"
"Chess, Go, backgammon, chess, shogi, checkers, in short, except for the exciting stuff like flying chess"
Mo Tan raised his hand and brushed over the alchemy chess pieces in front of him, picking them one by one. After lighting up, he raised his eyebrows at Huo Yanyang: "They are all very, very simple games. In essence, they can even be called superficial."
"The number of chess pieces is fixed. The movement of the pieces is certain, the chessboard has been drawn, and everything is limited.”
Lamorlock played with a badge painted red, facing the shadow in front of him. Wan Er said: "In other words, all possibilities have been closed within a limit from the beginning. It can be said to be a very low-level game."
"But~"
Mo Tan fiddled with the intricately positioned chess pieces on the sand table and narrowed his eyes slightly: "It is extremely difficult to reach the top in these fields. Do you know why?"
火Yan Yang shook his head blankly.
Yizou, who was standing behind Mo Tan, also shook his head blankly.
"Speed, and correct judgment based on speed."
Lamorlock stood up, walked slowly to the shadow in the center of the prayer room, and said with a smile: " No matter how subtle the move is, as long as there is enough time to think, even a mediocre person can make the same decision, that is to say."
Mo Tan walked up to Huo Yanyang and slapped the two white chess pieces in his hand on the latter's chest: "In other words."
"Efficiency, clarity, rationality, and decisiveness are the most important things. ~"
"The key point is how to make the correct judgment clearly and in the shortest possible time."
