Chapter 559 I Am Not Wrong
Britannia Empire, Northern Territory, Avalon Fortress, Michael Knights Headquarters, Su Cheng's office.
Su Cheng sat behind his desk, turning the pages of a thick "book" expressionlessly.
A "book" that compiles and compiles all the information about the mountain barbarians.
Since receiving the top-secret document from the central government at the beginning of this year and learning that he would serve as the chief planner and commander of the Salomanda operation, Su Cheng has been reading this "book" almost every day.
Su Cheng already knew everything in this "book" by heart.
The various customs of the mountain barbarians, the names, ages and personalities of the 32 tribal chiefs, the topography of the Lygasos Mountains, the distribution of the 32 tribes, the strength comparison of each tribe... In short, all the information written in this "book" , Su Cheng remembers everything very well.
Detect intelligence first, wait until credible and sufficient information is obtained, and then formulate a combat plan based on the content of the intelligence. Never act rashly before collecting enough information - this is Su Cheng's military style.
The detailed battle plan for the Salomanda operation was formulated around this "book".
Su Cheng, sitting behind his desk, quickly flipped through the "book" in his hand.
Su Cheng was not actually reading the "book" in his hand seriously.
Just looking for something to do to distract myself.
However, turning the pages of this "book" failed to distract Su Cheng.
On the contrary, he became even more irritable.
So he simply closed the "book" in his hand and threw it aside roughly.
"Hahaha……"
Although he didn't do any strenuous exercise, Su Cheng felt very tired.
It's so tiring that one just wants to breathe.
His eyes were full of confusion.
"I am not wrong……"
Su Cheng whispered to himself.
"I am a knight of the empire. It is my bounden duty to obey your majesty's orders. I am just following your orders... Your majesty asked me to conquer the mountain barbarians, so I can only obey. I can't resist your majesty's orders. I just I did nothing wrong in obeying His Majesty's order...I did nothing wrong..."
Su Cheng seemed to be hypnotizing himself, repeating "I am not wrong" in a low voice.
As Su Cheng continued to repeat, the confusion in his eyes gradually faded and dissipated...
at this time--
Knock knock knock!
There was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
"yes!"
This is Raymond's voice.
As Raymond's response fell,
The wooden door of the room was opened, and Raymond's sturdy figure appeared in front of Su Cheng.
"Captain, all the clan leaders of the mountain barbarian tribes have arrived. There are 32 people in total, and no one is absent."
"Well, thank you for your help, Raymond."
After saying that, Su Cheng stood up and asked Raymond while adjusting his dress:
"Have you prepared all the gifts you are going to give to the mountain barbarian clan leaders?"
"Yes, everything is ready."
"good."
Su Cheng nodded, then walked out of the house with his hands behind his back, toward the heads of the mountain barbarian tribes who were waiting for him.
When Raymond followed closely behind Su Cheng, Raymond, with a look of displeasure on his face, rushed towards Su Cheng who was in front of him and said:
"Captain, I don't understand something..."
"Huh? Raymond, what don't you understand?" Su Cheng asked in a neither salty nor indifferent tone without looking back.
"Captain, why are you going to such trouble to deal with these mountain barbarians who are still in the tribal era? You even have to entertain them!"
"Commander, let my 1st Army be dispatched!"
"I don't need the help of other troops. I can level the entire Lygasus Mountains with my 1st Army alone!"
"Captain! Please give the order! As long as you give the order, the commander can take the heads of the 32 clan leaders of the mountain barbarians for as long as two months or as little as one month!"
Raymond was quite critical of Su Cheng's banquet with the 32 mountain barbarian clan leaders.
In Raymond's eyes, Su Cheng's move was simply unnecessary.
There is no need to go to such trouble to deal with these barbarians whose civilization is still in the Stone Age. All they have to do is assemble a large army and then launch a flood of attacks against these barbarians living in the Lygasos Mountains.
After silently listening to Raymond's long and impassioned request to fight, Su Cheng's lips slightly turned up, revealing a meaningful smile.
"Raymond. You are a bit too simple and crude in your actions."
"Raymon, you can't just rely on violence to solve the problem. You must always remember to use the sword as your final resort."
"The reason why I ask you to follow me closely this time and let you watch the whole process how I deal with the mountain barbarian clan leaders is actually to teach you and make you understand that you cannot solve the problem by violence alone."
"You have to learn to use this place more."
Su Cheng pointed to his head.
"And here."
Su Cheng stuck out his tongue and pointed at it.
"With the level of civilization of the mountain barbarians, the population is sparse, and there are fewer warriors to fight. They don't know any military strategies. It is certainly possible to conquer the Lygasus Mountains by sending troops directly."
"However, if we send troops rashly, it is very likely that the various tribes of the mountain barbarians will unite to resist us."
"Faced with such a powerful enemy, no matter how much hatred there is between each other, they will temporarily put aside their hatred and unite to fight against the foreign enemy."
"If the 32 tribes of mountain barbarians who already have the advantage of terrain unite and fight against us with a common hatred, even if we can successfully pacify the Ligasos Mountains in the end, the number of casualties will be very ugly."
"So-before the official war, it is very necessary to use tongues and brains to divide and alienate them, so that the mountain barbarians can no longer unite against us after the war."
"As long as we can prevent the mountain barbarians from uniting, we can defeat them one by one, and the casualties will be greatly reduced."
"You must learn to use your tongue and brain more. Watch, Raymond, I only need a meal tonight to make the mountain barbarians fall apart and never unite to fight against us again."
At this point, Su Cheng and Raymond just walked to a wooden door.
Behind this wooden door is a reception room specially used to entertain guests.
The chiefs of the 32 mountain barbarians were waiting for Su Cheng behind this wooden door.
Before Su Cheng and Raymond came to the wooden door, the guards on both sides of the wooden door immediately raised their hands and pressed on the wooden door, ready to push the wooden door open so that Su Cheng and Raymond could enter.
In addition to the two guards, there was another man standing respectfully in front of the wooden door.
This man was Su Cheng's translator today, responsible for translating Su Cheng's words to the clan leaders, and had already translated the clan leaders' words to Su Cheng.
Looking at the wooden door in front of him that was about to be pushed open, Su Cheng silently said to himself in a tone that only he could hear clearly, like a hypnotic tone:
"I did nothing wrong... I was just following orders... His Majesty asked me to find a way to conquer the mountain barbarians, so I can only do it, I did nothing wrong... I did nothing wrong... Nothing wrong... Nothing wrong..."
In this self-hypnotic repetitive murmur, the last trace of confusion in Su Cheng's eyes disappeared completely.
Now, all Su Cheng has in his eyes is a disguised gentle look for the meeting and talks with the tribe leaders of Shanman later.
And the indifference, helplessness and...pain hidden deep in the gentle look.
