Chapter 29 The power to change everything
When Valed said such words, all the vampires were shocked by his confidence, or arrogance. If Valed said such words before he saw all this, before he saw this almost endless sea of corpses and blood, or if someone would regard it as ignorance caused by not understanding the situation. But now he would not.
"Really, is there really a way?" Hearing Vared say this, the Grand Commander Orah asked excitedly. The answer he received was Valed with confidence and said simply "Yes".
"That's good." Orah nodded, and then replied in a short sentence: "I believe in you."
In this simple conversation, a flame called "hope" ignited. The vampire officers, soldiers and mages who felt extremely tired and even desperate in the war showed smiles.
Mutual trust is one of the foundations for the vampire group to maintain unity and friendship. At this moment, no one shouted loudly:
"How is it possible? I'm kidding?" or "Arrogant, so arrogant!" or snorted coldly: "It's so ignorant and stupid. I want to see how he does this."
All vampires thought that Vared could do what they said, and all vampires thought he was serious... Although all vampires racked their brains, they could not judge how Vared von Castein, the young count, would win.
But it should be fine. Although Earl Castein has not experienced many wars since his debut, the results of the battle were quite amazing. The three wars he led, the invasion of the border prince, the invasion of the southern coastal areas, and the encounters in the suburbs of the Blood Dragon Knights Fort. However, two and a half were fighting against Greenskin. The results were all victory, and they were extremely brilliant victory. Maybe he really had any tricks to deal with Greenskin.
"Let's go back and find a place to talk. This plan requires your strong assistance." Vared said to Orah. Then Orah nodded - in fact, this major issue and important strategy required a citizen's conference.
However, in this case, the Blood Dragon Knights Fort and the Earls of Aberhrasin were unable to convene a citizen meeting. Fortunately, there is another one in Sylvania's political tradition, that is, when the situation is critical and the citizen meeting cannot be convened, the Earls Lord has the power to be arbitrary. Now the power is used in discussions between Vared and Orah.
In this way, Valed and Orah went to the room assigned to Valed. It was the only room in this Blood Dragon Knights Fort that was barely decent.
In addition to the two of them, some Blood Dragon Knights who had a little strength in rotation and a little bit of strength, as well as the vampire officers of the Kastein family brought by Vared, also attended the meeting. A total of dozens of vampires filled the room. Everyone surrounded the table and stared at the panoramic sand table of Sylvania taken out of the A-space.
"So, Valed, what you said is... no, I mean, what do you need me to do?" Grand Commander Orah nodded secretly at the set of sand tables and asked immediately.
"Is this sand table good?" Vared did not answer his question, but asked.
"Well, it's really good." Orah was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "It's very fine and very accurate."
After hearing what he said, Vared nodded and continued to introduce his sand table: "This is made with alchemy magic by the geography I taught through the Chaos Dwarf, combined with the cartography passed down from the Sigma Empire, and some things I thought of myself."
After hearing that Vared continued to say something, Olahe became even more puzzled. Not only him, but also the vampire officers around him, whether they were Abel Hracin's tribe or Vared's vampire, could not understand what Vared was saying. Only Elsa and Vared were connected. But they understood more than half of them. The female cat still remembered what Vared gave her a wink. She immediately curled her lips and muttered in a low voice: "It's mysterious."
She looked down on Valed's pretended mysterious appearance, but when Orah faced his son-in-law, his temper was very good. He heard Valed's question, so he supported him and asked, "So, what's the use of us?"
"It's useful." Vared nodded and said, "Of course it's useful."
"This..." Orah frowned, and then asked according to Valed's wishes: "I know a good sand table map is very useful for war... But in this case, if you want to use this sand table, you can say that you will defeat the Greenskin Army. This is probably really..."
"No, no, you misunderstood what I mean." Vared said:
"What I said is not to use this sand table. As you said, the sand table is useful, but it is not that useful. What I want to explain to you is the meaning of this sand table. It represents change, difference, and that we can easily defeat all the green skins of the entire southern wilderness, defeat them, and even make them the props we have to support and realize our grand plans."
"I don't understand even more if you say that." Orah shook his head with a wry smile. The vampire officers and the Blood Dragon Knights around were also a little impatient and urged Vared, hoping that he could make things clear, not be so heartbreaking, it sounds painful.
Vared laughed, stretched out his hands and pressed down, stopping the inquiries and complaints of the vampire officers around him. Then he said:
"Then, I will explain it to you and everyone here. It's actually very simple. This sand table represents a microcosm of the powerful power of our Castein family's research, production and military industry directions, and large-scale mechanized production. As long as we can exert its power, it is completely and absolutely no problem to defeat the green skin of this southern wilderness!"
For the next period, Vared spoke in detail, enthusiastic, and passionately. This was a completely new theory that all vampire officers, including Aurach, had never heard of, and at the end, improvised Vared:
"In this next era, the world will become completely different. New systems and new technologies will greatly increase productivity and will also change the way of war. The resources we will obtain, the army we have, and the combat effectiveness of our army will be improved in geometric form.
We will arm our kingdom, devote all our resources to the whole of Sylvania, and transform our kingdom into a sophisticated, huge war machine. In this case, let alone Green Skin, what are they? The dwarf kingdoms in the north and the Sigma empire in the west. They are not our opponents! Under the great power of mechanical technology, we Sylvania, and we vampires will eventually rise!"
Amid Vared's infectious speech, a burst of cheers erupted from the vampire officers around him. Despite the crisis and physical and mental exhaustion, Vared's words rekindled their hope and injected new vitality into them.
"I see."
At the end, Orah was also moved. He nodded and said to Valed, "I agree with your plan, Valed. Then we need to start preparing next."
"Well," Vared nodded: "Then first, we are contacting the other two families. I will trouble you with this matter, and I will deal with the matter informing the Castein family."
"Then it's all." Orah stood up impatiently, and finally said to Valed: "I did not read you wrongly, Valed, you are indeed the best candidate for Duke of Sylvania."
After that, Orah took his subordinates out. At the same time, the Kastein tribes under Valed also left. Only Valed and Elsa were left in the house.
"You just said half of it to him." Elsa said to Valed when they were only two of them, "You only told them, according to the conception of the 'military-industrial complex' you thought in your mind. But it did not express the conception of what you called 'capital' and 'commodity economy' as before, as it was before the Earl of Lamiya."
"Indeed." Vared shrugged, then stretched out his hand to touch Elsa's hair, but Elsa avoided it.
"So why? Is it because I am afraid of the situation that happened before, and I am afraid of scaring your good father-in-law, or do you think that for the warriors and knights, just let them understand military affairs?"
"Probably both." Valed thought for a moment, then answered to Elsa. Then he touched it again. This time Elsa did not dodge and resist. He just mumbled, but soon lost instinct and began to moan comfortably...
