Chapter 214 The Cunning Brent
Enter a sealed room with a large number of bone ornaments. The beautifully carved tables and chairs are much more beautiful than those molded by Herot using magic.
Brent, as the lord of Spiral Mountain, did not have the consciousness of being a lord at this moment. He invited Herot to sit down, but he actually stood there, pretending to be listening. .
Helot: "Lord Brent! You initially chose neutrality. The Lord of Dorothea respected your choice and promised not to pursue your side after this war is over. But Bent Hejian How did the undead appear on the west side of Broken Woodland? Can you give me a reasonable explanation?"
Brent bowed first and then replied: "Lord Bonebreaker, you have seen my territory. The strength is too weak, and the undead in the Crooked River are too strong. We can only trap them in the Spiral Fortress and have no ability to stop the undead in the Crooked River from passing through my territory."
Helot sneered and exposed Brent's lies: "I can see if you have any real obstruction. You have violated your promise of neutrality. Helping the rebels means surrendering to the rebels. I think the Lord of Dorothea City After winning the victory, we will hold you accountable for the crimes you committed."
Brent defended himself: "Lord Bonebreaker, we have really tried our best! Lord McGuire of the Crooked River sent a letter. He threatened me that if I continue to stop him, he will attack my spiral fortress.
Both the Lord of Dorothea and you... should be unable to rescue me. "
Helot. There was a bit of cunning in Brent's defense.
This old skeleton may not be as timid as the rumors say, and neutrality may be just an excuse to "follow whoever wins."
Thinking back to when he went up the mountain, Helot discovered that most of the undead in the Spiral Mountains were facing the direction of the Broken Woodland.
The neutral Brent is actually observing the direction of this war.
If Ultado shows a tendency to win, he will lead his undead army and follow the undead in the Crooked River to attack the Broken Woodland.
If Dorotea shows a tendency to win, he will definitely lead his army to kill the undead in the Crooked River from behind.
Of course, before taking action, he has to wait for the price and maximize his own interests.
It is said that people become better with age, and the same goes for the undead.
His so-called low profile now is just a disguise to show weakness.
After seeing through the old skeleton mage's thoughts, Helot asked with a smile: "Who do you think will be the final winner in this war?"
Brent replied: " I don’t know!”
“You know that I must have come with a purpose, and I also know what you are waiting for. When the war reaches this stage, the outcome will be decided in the next few days. Betting is the best and last chance, and if you miss it, your gains will be far less than you expected.
Tell me what you think, and let me think about what it would take to win you over. "
Now that it's a showdown, Brent straightens his back.
"I think Ultado will win. ”
As expected.
If Brent didn’t think Ultado had a better chance of winning, he wouldn’t have let the undead cross the Crooked River.
Herot crossed his legs: "Why don't I think Ultado will win?"
Brent used the magic hand to move a bone chair, sat back, and then talked: "Because Ultado has more troops! For example, the current Broken Woodland is facing attacks from both sides, including the black gravel sand and the crooked river. Even if the terrain of the Broken Woodland is conducive to defense, it will eventually be captured by these two undead armies.< br>
When the black gravel sand and the undead in the Crooked River merge into one place, we can launch an attack on Scorched Earth City.
Your territory is too weak and does not even have basic defenses. It will be bulldozed. And Dorothea is entangled by Ultado at this time. If she returns to defend Scorched Earth City, Ultado can take advantage of the situation. At this time, our three neutral lords will. Stand firmly in Wuertado’s camp and welcome Wuertado as the new city lord of Scorched Earth City.”
Herot asked: "If I want to invite the undead from the Spiral Mountains to attack the undead from the Crooked River, what will it cost?"
Brent grinned, as expected.
"If I lead an army to attack the undead army in the Crooked River, I can relieve the siege of the Broken Woodland and let the battle continue to stalemate. If I capture the entire Crooked River again, the Lord of Dorothea will gain control over Ur Tado’s advantage.
As long as the Lord of Dorothea agrees to give me the Crooked River, and then...give me half of the Broken Woodland."
Helot didn’t expect Brent. It's true that the lion opened his mouth and couldn't help but be amused.
"You want a lot!"
Brent shrugged: "Originally, I could have easily won by following Urtado. If you want me to risk supporting Dorothea, you have to pay what I can't. Something to reject. The Spiral Ridge is too small and I need to expand my living space.”
Brent looked like “You came to ask me for it.”
Helot has a general understanding of Brent's attitude. It is a good thing that he has the ambition to fight for power. Only with ambition can he be motivated.
"I have defeated Delirul, and the entire Black Gravel Sands is mine. I also want to bend the river, so you should change the conditions."
Brent was stunned for a moment and laughed loudly: "Lord Broken Bones, there is no need for you to tell such lies in order to gain my support. The intelligence I received yesterday was that Delirul was leading his army to set fire to Broken Bones. Woodland.
You came to tell me today... that you defeated Delirul?
I am not a fool!"
Helot just looked at Bu. Lent.
"Hahaha...ha..." Brent slowly stopped laughing. He was heartbroken when Helot looked at him, and then remembered that this human lord also spent a day to capture the Rottenwood Fortress. , asked in disbelief: "Did you really defeat Delirul?"
Helot didn't answer and continued to look at Brent.
Brent immediately stood up: "I was so rude just now, please forgive me!"
Helot asked: "What are your new conditions?"
Brent replied: "No, I was just joking, I have no conditions. Of course...if possible, I still want to expand my territory."
Helot smiled Said: "After defeating the rebels, there will be a lot of unowned territory under the jurisdiction of Scorched Earth City. All lords who contribute to countering the rebellion will receive land rewards, and the amount they receive depends on the amount of their contribution."
Brent: "I understand, Lord Boneshatter! I will lead the undead in the Spiral Mountains now to attack the undead army in the Crooked River from behind."
Helot said: "We are not attacking yet. At that time. Howl is leading the main force of the Broken Woodland to move from the eastern border to the western border.
I believe that the news of Delirul's defeat will soon reach McGuire's ears, and he will definitely give the order. The undead in the Crooked River retreat immediately, and your task is to stop them.
This time, we won’t let them pass through your territory smoothly.”
Brent saluted solemnly: "This time, they will never get through!"
