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 had already memorized all the contents in this "book".

The various customs of the mountain barbarians, the names, ages and personalities of the 32 tribal leaders, 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 it all too 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 sufficient information is collected. 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" did not successfully distract Su Cheng.

On the contrary, he became even more irritable.

So I simply closed the "book" in my 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'm 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 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..."

As if in self-hypnosis, Su Cheng kept repeating "I am not wrong" in a low voice.

As Su Cheng kept repeating, the confusion in his eyes gradually faded and disappeared...

Just then

Knock knock knock!

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

"yes!"

This is Raymond's voice.

As Raymond responded, the wooden door of the room was opened, and Raymond's sturdy figure appeared in front of Su Cheng's eyes.

"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, straightened his dress, and asked Raymond:

"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, towards 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 away from 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 do you have to go to so much trouble to deal with these 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 me the order! As long as you give the order, Commander, and your rank will last as long as two months and as little as one month, we can take the heads of the 32 clan leaders of the mountain barbarians!"

Raymond was quite critical of Su Cheng's banquet with the 32 mountain barbarian clan chiefs.

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 launch a wave of attacks against these barbarians living in the Lygasus Mountains.

After silently listening to Raymond's long and impassioned request to fight, Su Cheng's lips slightly turned up, revealing a meaningful smile.

"Raymon, you are a bit too simple and crude in what you do."

"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, there are fewer warriors to fight, and 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 we let the 32 mountain barbarian tribes that have already occupied the geographical advantage unite and fight against us with the same hatred, even if we succeed in pacifying the Lygasus Mountains in the end, the number of casualties will be ugly."

"So before the official war begins, it is very necessary to use tongues and brains to divide and alienate them so that the mountain barbarian tribes will no longer be able to unite against us after the war begins."

"As long as we can prevent the mountain barbarian tribes from uniting together, we can defeat them one by one, and the casualties will be greatly reduced."

"You must learn to use your tongue and brain more. Look, Raymond, I only need one meal tonight to make the mountain barbarian tribes fall apart and no longer be able to unite to fight against us."

Speaking of which, Su Cheng and Raymond happened to walk to a wooden door.

Behind this wooden door is a reception room specially used to entertain distinguished guests.

The heads of the 32 mountain barbarian tribes were waiting for Su Cheng behind this wooden door.

When Su Cheng and Raymond came to the wooden door, the guards guarding the left and right sides of the wooden door immediately raised their hands and pressed them on the wooden door, preparing to push the wooden door open so that Su Cheng and Raymond could

Two people can enter.

In addition to these two guards, there is also a man waiting respectfully in front of the wooden door.

This man is Su Cheng's translator today, responsible for translating Su Cheng's words to the clan leaders, and has 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 barbarians, so I had to do it. I did nothing wrong... I did nothing wrong... nothing wrong... nothing

Nothing wrong..."

While he was muttering like this repeatedly like self-hypnosis, the last trace of confusion in Su Cheng's eyes disappeared.

What Su Cheng sees now is the gentle look that he pretends to use in his talks with the mountain barbarian clan leaders later.
