Section 91

Perhaps the idea of ​​the deceitful Lord belongs to the type of "judging a gentleman's belly by the heart of a villain". But Ashu Rufate also has to admit that this statement is correct.

The current situation of the Chaos Gods is a typical three-party force to deal with each other. The alliance between Tsengqi and Slaanes has formed the strongest force, followed by the terror and the weakest force. So the current situation of "the boss and the second brother fight, and the third brother intend to watch". This is a typical "three-party strategy". This is a classic state, which is described in various military books. Ashu Rufate believes that Nugget must have never read military books - it cannot be said that Nugget did something wrong. After all, this type of "the snipe and clam fight against the fisherman" is the ending he most hopes to see. But the problem is: it is actually very unwise to do so.

The so-called tripartite strategy refers to the three forces dealing with each other, each with their own ideal strategies. For the strongest, hope is to form an alliance with the weakest and deal with the middlemen. The middlemen hope to form an alliance with the weakest and deal with the strongest. The weakest hopes that the other two will fight to the death and benefit from the fisherman on the side. This is a holistic strategic idea - this is true for any battle between the three forces. Since ancient times, there has been no exception. But one thing to note is that under the premise that no one is a fool, the "optimal strategy" of the weakest is actually very dangerous. Because not every moment in this world can tolerate the attitude of "neutrality". Sometimes, either a friend or an enemy. This choice is actually to face two enemies at the same time, isolated and helpless.

Now, this is the case. After Tsengchi and Slaanes reached an alliance, the first thing they had to deal with was not "planning to break the balance of chaos" and cause all this terror, but chose to be neutral and planned not to intervene (of course, it can also be understood as Nurgle who intends to sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight).

Moreover, even Ashu Rufate himself admitted that this was indeed the best choice. Although Ashu Rufate's goal was not exactly the same as that of the gods, he had no special opinions on dealing with Nurg first.

The order issued by the Lord of Deceit is very clear: by fighting and forcing the father of the plague to give up his current neutrality and join them. In order to achieve this goal, it is necessary to use force to defeat Nurgle and hurt! The specific method is to conquer this swamp.

Ashrufate didn't know why before, but now he already knew that this swamp was the gate and natural defense line of Nurgre Country. If outsiders could control this swamp, it would be equivalent to controlling the gate of Nurgre Country. This is a huge threat and it is indeed possible to force the father of the plague to compromise.

However, even Ash Rufate didn't know in advance that Tsengqi had concealed such a secret: the internal forces of this swamp were not in that state of fragmentation, but a whole. The darling of a father of the plague, the immortal Chaos Lord, ruled the swamp.

In fact, after understanding the specific situation of this swamp, Astufate realized that this matter was difficult to handle - in the true sense. In military terms, the serious terrain restrictions made any in-depth strikes difficult. The tactics that can be used, as Astufate had introduced before, were actually only one ambush. In this regard, Astufate did a good job - even Astufate felt that he could not do better. Unfortunately, although he achieved good results, he was unable to conquer the swamp in the end. In terms of strategy, since all the tribes of the swamp respected the immortal master Jacks and obeyed the orders of this darling of Nurgle, unless the Chaos Lord died, there might be no internal conflicts between them for outsiders to use.

No wonder this place became the gate of Nurgre's kingdom, and no wonder Nurgre gave the "Immortal Lord" Jacks the immortal body. With such a natural level, the father of the plague will indeed have the idea of ​​"neutrality".

Although Ashu Rufate solved his first problem: the rear base and supplies (not so much as Tsengchi had arranged it long ago), the next problem was also difficult.

A slight sound made Ash Rufate wake up from his meditation. It was the sound of the door curtain. Although he didn't look back, he knew who came in.

"Master..." Rafinia's voice sounded.

According to some unwritten regulations common to all mankind, Rafinia has the power to move freely in Asu Rufate's camp, and only Asu Rufate can bind her freedom. But from another perspective, Asu Rufate has not bound her freedom.

"Rafinia..."

"The soldiers are all very happy with the diplomatic success you have achieved today." Rafinia said. "If I had not witnessed it with my own eyes, even I could not imagine... you convinced the other party so simply... you..."

"That's just a small matter." Ash Rufate replied. Although he didn't know what Rafinia's origin was, he could guess that she must be one of the arrangements of the gods. From the beginning of his arrival in the north, many things were arranged. For a (perhaps several) omniscient gods, what's the point of arranging such small things? He has been out of the way now. Anyway, he can't change the arrangements of the evil gods of the Chaos, but at least he can control himself. He can't stop the Chaos Gods' schemes, but any cunning scheme

All plans must be composed of steps one by one. Each step is the premise of its next step. As long as he can guard his inner defense line from being eroded by chaos, or in other words, above his spirit. As long as he can always maintain his rationality and ensure that he is not conquered by the promises of chaos, then everything else will be ignored. Anyway, don’t touch the gift of chaos as much as possible, try not to believe the promises of chaos, and always maintain his original purpose in his heart, then the gods of chaos have no choice but to do anything - at least he hopes so.

"But no matter what, you have achieved a great success today." Rafinia's voice was a little fanatical. Ashu Rufate did not look back, but could feel the other person's scorching gaze. He was a little strange. According to her ex-master, this girl was arrogant, cold and stubborn, and her only advantage was her outstanding appearance. But since she came to her, Ashu Rufate didn't feel her "pride, indifference" or something.

On the contrary, he felt that she was very tame, obedient, and even overly obedient. And - although Ashu Rufate didn't understand why - her eyes were filled with a kind of fanaticism and admiration. He had never seen this kind of vision. Not long after he first arrived in Eagle Falcon City, Ashu Rufate had seen it once. At that time, in the theater of Eagle Falcon City, a famous baritone singer took the stage to perform. Many female audiences in the audience looked at the singer's eyes.

"It's not considered successful." Ashu Ruffat said without looking back. This sentence is not that he was too modest. Tsengchi had arranged the matter for the Dangerous Peak City long ago - perhaps even this city itself is a result of Tsengchi's long-term planning. Otherwise, how could there be a city here (as mentioned earlier, this is the first city Ahu Ruffat saw), and this city is so close to this swamp? "It's still very early."

"But you will win, won't you?"

"I hope the gods will protect you." Ashu Rufate said lightly. "You didn't come to tell me this, are you?"

"Of course, Master. I bring you the latest news...What you said before, about Tarik..."

"Oh?" Ashu Rufate was interested. Maybe it was the environmental impact, or maybe it was forced. In short, regardless of whether Ashu Rufate himself was happy or not, his current position and behavior were no different from that of an ordinary Tsengchi Chaos Lord - that is, he was not 100% confident of anything and had to be three-pointed vigilant about everyone. He was wary of his subordinates, including Tarik. He had worked hard to form a net of restraint and concern among his subordinates to ensure that no one of them had the opportunity to challenge his authority. This was not difficult to do, because it seemed that he had already done such things a long time ago.

Of course, he believed Tsengchi was sure to be satisfied with this.

"I read his book secretly. It seems that he is full of praise for you. However, I noticed that he occasionally uses some incense burning... some special props. He is always sneaky and only uses it in his tent when no one is present."

"What kind of props?"

"Some props in magic rituals. I know those things. There is a wizard under my previous master who has the same thing. Those are used to hide the storm of magic. When starting these props, wizards can use some simple magic, such as magic communication, and not be noticed by outsiders."

"Magic Communication?" Ashu Rufat frowned. Tarik had news with other external forces? He should not be surprised. It would be legitimate if he was in contact with the Speechless Panic Tribe. But unless it is the person involved, who can determine who the contact target is?

"I understand...you go...wait, go call Gande and say I have something to come to him."

A few minutes later, Gander, the raiders of the Asovin tribe, came to Ashrufate's tent.

Speaking of which, when Ash Rufate summoned the army in the Speechless Panic Tribe, he really didn't expect to meet Gande. However, from another perspective, this is not difficult to understand. After all, due to his existence, Speech Rufate finally recognized the vassal status of the Asowen tribe (the previous defeat of the Sorrow Son was entirely due to the sneak attack of the Asowen tribe), providing this small tribe with territory (stolen from other tribes by coercion) and personnel (members of other tribes who believe in the entertainment prince). Since this is the case, when Ash Rufate, as the Chaos Lord, summoned the volunteers, the Asowen tribe was supposed to respond actively. There were few Chaos warriors in the Asowen tribe, and they were too precious, so they could only let the plunders come out to recruit. In this way, as an old plunderer, Gande came.

Gander was surprised for a long time when he saw Ash Rufate in Chaos Armor. But in the end he confirmed that the legendary Chaos Lord was the "Santo Chef" who had temporarily lived in his tribe. He apologized to Ash Rufate in panic, but Ash Rufate didn't mind this, he was Gander's ability.

Although Gande is just a mere plunderer in the Chaos level, in the sense of Ashu Rufate, among so many people he knows, Gande not only has the potential of a commander, but also has special scouting ability. So he immediately brought Gande under his command.

According to the law of chaos, a plunderer like Gande is only worthy of being an ordinary warrior or scout, and is not qualified to become an officer at all. However, Ashrufate still avoids this level of problem. He promoted Gande as the captain of the scout - a plunderer as the scout (captain) completely complies with the law of chaos and will not arouse any objection. But on the other hand, like any army, the captain of the scout is qualified to meet the general at any time, and even be eligible to attend military meetings.
