Chapter 488 Extremely Paranoid
As Gushan changed the topic, Garrett chose to take advantage of the situation and did not continue to punish Ronin and Redal according to the script he had expected.
At this moment, he finally saw clearly that Luo Ning's respect for the royal family was only superficial.
But having said that, in the extraordinary world, after the strength reaches a certain level, it is difficult for the circle of nobles to restrain the strong.
This is just like Bellora. This great mage has not paid attention to the royal family for many years. On the contrary, Bruno will send people to the Amethyst Earldom to greet Bellora every once in a while.
After a short discussion, Luo Ning took Redal back to West Wind Hill.
"Sir, Commander, you are back!"
Odoro came up to meet him. He was really worried to death just now, fearing that he would lead the army to Red Pine Castle before the war with the empire started.
Now that he saw the two of them back safely, he finally felt relieved.
"Odoro, go ask the kitchen to prepare a meal. I'm not like Carlos who can endure hunger by swallowing energy every day."
"Okay, sir!"
Ronin and Rydal walked into the hall.
"My lord, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seems to have a strong opinion of you."
Redal looked worried, "I'm afraid he will attack you or your territory."
"Maybe."
Ronin was not too worried about this, "However, as long as His Majesty Bruno is still there, no matter how tense the relationship between Garrett and I is, a war will not really break out."
It is not in Bruno's interest to deal with Ronin.
Moreover, if the other party really wants to deal with him with all its strength, it will undoubtedly give Ference and others a chance.
After weakening the Wushan family and enriching Ferens, who was eyeing the throne, it was still a thankless task in the end.
Rydal continued to express his concerns:
"Garrett is not your opponent now, nor can he represent the royal family against you. But once he inherits the throne, it will be difficult to say."
"That was a long time ago."
Ronin motioned for Redal to sit down as well.
"Our king is the Silver Knight. He is not yet sixty years old. He can live for at least twenty or thirty years. Who knows what the situation will be like in twenty or thirty years?"
Ruida couldn't help but nodded after hearing this.
He saw with his own eyes that Luo Ning had grown to his current height in less than four years. He didn't dare to imagine what level the other party would reach in another twenty or thirty years.
And twenty or thirty years later, he believes that Wubei Territory and Moonlight Valley will definitely have a very good development, and the overall combat power will be very high.
"Sir, what should I do with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's orders when you are away from now on?"
Ruidal was a little embarrassed, mainly because he was worried about causing trouble for Luo Ning.
"Just do what you want. As long as the other party is not targeting us, just act normally. As for whether you are worried about offending Garrett, you don't have to think too much. With his character, it is unlikely that we will be forgiven."
"All right……"
Redal only hoped that Garrett would restrain himself after this experience.
Luo Ning came to the table, flattened the map on it, and said: "After you left today, I went to investigate the Watch Fort opposite and found that not only were troops being added there, but the new team members and equipment were very gorgeous. "
He told Redal what he had discovered.
"If I just simply want to capture Watchfort, it's not difficult to do. However, what I'm thinking about now is how to annex as much of this force as possible, not just pure killing."
Ronin proposed his idea to Redal.
"Think about it, what should we do?"
Redal pondered for a while, then slowly said:
"Before there are no signs of defeat in the Kingdom of Tricia, the possibility of them voluntarily surrendering is very low. If you want to annex them, defeating them on the frontal battlefield is an indispensable step."
At this point, he changed the topic, "But since you want to absorb them, we can reveal this attitude in advance, and at the same time show them how powerful you are to exert huge psychological pressure and let them know the consequences of not surrendering."
Luo Ning listened and nodded. This two-pronged approach, even if the other party does not agree to surrender in the end, will disrupt their mentality and weaken their momentum to resist.
"Then starting from tomorrow, I will ask Carlos to fly back and forth over the Watch Fortress twice every day, and then go and talk to them."
Red Pine Castle, Garrett's bedroom.
At this time, he was breathing heavily and his eyes were red, which was because he was angry.
The pain on his arm kept irritating him, forcing him to think over and over again about today's events. Luo Ning's arrogant, arrogant face that showed no dignity at all seemed to linger in front of his eyes.
In addition to having the upper hand when he first met Luo Ning in Golden Feather Palace, he was at a disadvantage four times thereafter in Shore City, Moonlight City, at the wedding, and until today at Red Pine Castle.
Garrett had even begun to suspect that the first time Ronin surrendered was not out of fear of his strength, but on purpose.
As soon as he thought of this, his emotions fluctuated violently, and even his breathing became disordered.
After all, Garrett is the peak knight of Silver Moon, and his control over his body is close to the extreme, but he still performs like this, which only shows that his mental quality is very poor.
"Ronin, Dragon, Redal, Rulans, Melonica, Sophia, McCann, Elrond!"
"The Wushan family has unknowingly acquired so many high-level extraordinary people, but Ronin has never taken the initiative to reveal what he is doing!"
The more Garrett analyzed, the more worried he was about this newly rising marquis.
"Not only that, he has a good relationship with the great mage Bellola, and also has a good relationship with Duke Vargis!"
This is all information known to the outside world, and Garrett and the royal family are naturally aware of it.
In the past, he was worried that the Principality of Ferrens, the Principality of Vera, and the Screaming Island would unite to weaken the status and power of the royal family.
But now, compared with these three families, the Wushan family makes him more worried.
The key is that Ronin is growing too fast. If he is left alone like this, Garrett doesn't know how big and how big the other party will grow in a few years.
"The Prideful Sun level can still be dealt with!"
"While he hasn't risen yet, we still have a chance to unite and eliminate him!"
At this time, Garrett seemed to be standing at a crossroads. He did not choose the wide road, nor even the narrow path, but chose to use his body to pass through the thorn forest.
"But, my father will never allow me to do this!"
Is Bruno not worried about Ronin?
Of course he is worried, but he knows that if he deals with Ronin, it will definitely be a tragic civil war.
In contrast, he prefers to use emotional cards to maintain his relationship with Ronin. After all, Ronin is his son-in-law. It is impossible for him to betray or even kill his father-in-law openly, right?
What's more, once the strength of the extraordinary is very high, they will gradually look down on secular power.
Just like the great mage Bellola, it is enough to have a territory that is not under the jurisdiction of the kingdom, and there is no idea of expanding the territory.
Bruno also has this consideration. He even thinks that if he can really reunify the entire continent and establish an empire, it is not wrong to divide Ronin into a grand duchy or even a kingdom on the territory of the empire.
"Father's idea is too naive. Not only does he not understand the danger of Ronin, but he will also stop me."
Garrett thought more and more extreme, and finally, the face of his uncle Ferrens appeared in front of him.
At this moment, Ference seemed to have transformed into a devil, waving at him and opening his arms. (End of this chapter)
