Chapter 1048

"You madman... Want to destroy the fortress of duanjie mountain?!"

Sure enough

When dreisis's angry roar echoed in the laboratory, Isaac turned his eyes and immediately showed an expression of "as I thought".

In the diary that Isaac Grantham wrote to himself many years later, he described his mood at that time as follows:

"For a man who has ideas and is willing to work steadily, even if he is not a genius, what he does is not a great undertaking - the most difficult and almost impossible thing is not to complete things, because he has already been mentally prepared.

The hardest thing to do... Is to explain to others what you're doing and why you're doing it.

You will find that you don't understand why the other person asks so. Even if you really try hard to understand, you will find that the other person can't understand what you're explaining.

It's the most terrible thing in the world to let one mouth explain the problem to two ears... Because before you speak, the other person already has the "expected" answer in his heart.

So the result is nothing more than two - the real one and the one he wants to hear.

The latter is basically cheating, and if you seriously explain the problem... Regardless of whether he can accept it, if he accepts it, his first reaction is mostly that you are fooling or cheating him.

It's like the people who see this log except me at the moment. It's probably impossible to understand my mood and feelings at that time.

If you can understand, it may be because you have a similar experience, that is... I said the answer "what you want to hear..."

"I need an explanation --!"

Dreisis's roar brought Isaac back to reality.

There was a dead silence in the empty laboratory.

Facing the angry dreisis, Isaac was surprisingly calm, and there was no mockery or contempt under his eyes.

I'm afraid he pointed to the heads of these potatoes and made a lot of ridicule, and then made a particularly profound speech about "how talented he is".

"Dreisis... What commander, you don't want an explanation." Isaac raised his eyes. His voice was very small, but it was enough for everyone present to hear:

"I'm wrong. As long as I obey your orders, the fortress of duanjie mountain can be guarded... That's what you want to hear."

"You want me to say that the fortress of duanjieshan can be guarded."

"You --?!"

Suddenly surprised, dreisis instinctively grabbed Isaac's collar and lifted the dirty and thin Wizard:

"Isaac Grantham, you, you..." the voice of the deputy commander of the fortress trembled violently, trying to suppress the burning anger in his heart:

"Do you want to say that duanjieshan fortress... Can't be guarded?!"

"I didn't say that." Isaac sighed and looked at him. "I just got the conclusion I needed through calculation."

"If you need us, it's possible to hold the fortress. If you think you don't need us, you can... Then why are you here? What are we doing? What does it have to do with the survival of the fortress?"

Dreisis was shocked and angry, gnashing his teeth, and his right hand clenched Isaac's collar was still shaking.

"You... This self righteous wizard, who gives you the privilege to advocate so well?!"

"Say! Who gave you the power?"

"I gave it to him."

A slight voice interrupted dreisis's questioning without warning.

The deputy commander of the fortress, who was just furious, suddenly froze like an electric shock and stood still.

The Knights and wizards in the laboratory looked at each other and turned their eyes to the direction of the sound in surprise.

The expressionless connord de sallion stood alone in front of the door, holding his hand.

"Your Majesty is coming --!"

In a sudden burst of applause, officers and wizards knelt down on one knee with connord's footsteps, like a split wave.

Stunned dreisis looked back and looked at the figure coming to him at a loss.

"Your Majesty, I don't know..."

"If you don't know what to do, put down our Sir Isaac first." the expressionless connord glanced at the arrogant wizard with red eyes and struggling like a lobster: "if you're going to strangle him, then..."

"Ah! I, I just didn't notice..."

Hurriedly loosen Isaac, who almost suffocated to death, dreisis quickly lowered his head and closed his mouth.

After a flurry of panic, the wizards and knights around finally summoned up their courage and stepped forward one after another.

"Ask what you want." looking at his expression, connord said quietly, "as the first commander of duanjieshan fortress, you are qualified to know all secrets."

Dreisis, who clenched his fists and dared not look into connord's eyes, said hard: "Your Majesty, you just said that what Isaac Grantham did was allowed by you..."

"That's right."

A faint word was like a bolt from the blue to dreisis!

"To be exact, it should be acquiescence." connord looked down and watched his expression all the time. "I know what he's doing and didn't stop him."

"Why?!"

This is the most incomprehensible thing of dreisis: "does it mean that in your Majesty's opinion, the fortress of duanjie mountain will fall?"

"Don't you believe that under your command, the Empire... Can't even defend the fortress of duanjie mountain?!"

Unwilling questioning echoed in the laboratory, which surprised the people present.

Connord, as tacit, did not say a word from beginning to end.

A minute later, Conrad finally met dreisis's constant eyes.

"Ernst dreisis, and you," Conrad said in a deep voice, "what is our mission?"

Everyone was stunned.

"Is it to make meritorious service in duanjie mountain fortress, kill Azores, kill more Azores, or kill all the elves?" the supreme emperor of the Empire swept away his fiery red eyes:

"No, the reason why we are here is that we must hold here - because if we fail, the enemy will be able to advance and destroy the foundation of the Empire, and we... Will have no room to fight back!"

"So in the past five days, we have always fought the enemy to the end at all costs, and we have always insisted, even if there is only a little hope, we will not give up - because if we give up, no one will help us pick it up!"

"We are not here to prove ourselves, not for glory, wealth and status; we are here because if we are not here, no one will replace us."

Connord's voice became louder and louder in the laboratory. Fiery red eyes stared at everyone looking at him, or did not dare to look into his eyes:

"Indeed, we will do our best to keep the enemy out of the fortress of duanjie mountain; I also want to believe that you under commander dreisis can do your best to complete impossible battles."

"I trust you... If you need to prove this, I personally don't mind standing side by side with you in the most intense battle - many of you have fought side by side with me, and you all know what I said is true."

"But because of this, because everything we do is so important, because we all know what will happen if the enemy breaks through the fortress and goes south?"

"One million people in the imperial capital are counting on us, thousands of people in Saxony are counting on us, and thousands of ordinary people living in their own land are counting on our victory, but we must prepare for the worst!"

"If we fight hard and die, who can appear under the fortress of duanjie mountain at the critical moment?"

"If we repel the elves, the demons will launch another invasion?"

"What if eboden's enemies suddenly go north, repel our reinforcements and attack the fortress of duanjieshan on both sides..."

"You guys, we have too many concerns. We... Really can't afford to lose, not once." standing where we are, Connor shouted:

"So... Conrad de sallion implores you to bring me victory, if not..."

"Then please be determined to burn with duanjie mountain!"

The sound echoed in the hall.

Dreisis, still with his head down, trembled and looked hot.

In the whole laboratory, almost everyone thought that his majesty connord's words were taking the opportunity to boost morale and revitalize the soldiers who had fought for five days and nights, but

Only he... Only dreisis knows, not so.

This is not Conrad's style at all!

From the first day in charge of the army, his Majesty was extremely disgusted with making any speech to the soldiers. He respected orders and prohibitions and made every soldier understand his task and plan as much as possible.

Connaught is even more opposed to telling the soldiers to be determined to fight to the death from the beginning of the battle - fighting back can indeed have the effect of mourning for the victory, but at the same time, it will also make more soldiers who don't have much courage more depressed and no longer have the confidence to fight for survival.

Therefore, this is not your Majesty's morale, but a cover up of mistakes.

Cover up his... Dreisis's mistake.

From the moment he broke into the laboratory, his majesty knew that he didn't come to find the cause of the problem, but to find a scapegoat who could bear his failure to complete the mission and defend the fortress of duanjie mountain "in case of" one case "!

For his own sake, his majesty Connor had to go out of his way and publicize this slogan of "fight to the death" in public!

………………………………

It was not until dreisis, with his complicated expression, left the laboratory with the knight officers that connord turned back and looked at Isaac, who had always squatted beside him without saying a word:

"How's it going?"

"Do you mean the preparation of the magic array, or when will this system work?"

Isaac, with his legs crossed and untidy hair, shrugged his shoulders and asked casually, "if it was the previous one, it would take at least a week - I have no experience in this large magic array, and I can't find experienced people, so I can only grope for it bit by bit."

"The only corona who has experience in this field... Forget it, the dead won't mention it; in short, it may take five or six days to complete the preparation, but..."

"But if you just want to achieve our expectations, you don't need to complete the whole magic array."

Glancing at the complex patterns at his feet, Conrad said coldly: "it's just... It's not difficult for Sir Isaac Grantham to cause an earthquake, destroy the fortress of duanjie mountain, and then bury it under the collapsed mountain, so that the enemy in the north can't pass through this kind of thing?"

"It's easy to say. I don't have a small tone."

He got up slowly and hugged his shoulder. Isaac's face was not embarrassed: "but I like it!"

Connord's eyes narrowed.

"Isaac, you should understand that if you really get to that point and the fortress of duanjieshan has to be sealed... Loren Turin will cut off his only way back."

"What you do is to kill your friends yourself, and even make thousands of people have nowhere to escape in the ice field."

That's right... If the fortress of duanjieshan is destroyed, even if the defenders in the fortress can evacuate in time, Loren Turin and thousands of soldiers who are still in the blood skeleton valley will really be unable to leave this glacier wasteland!

"I know." Isaac nodded naturally:

"It's better to say that the guy specially asked me to stay because he knew this; his task to me is to guard the fortress of duanjie mountain anyway - since it is anyway, it should be reasonable not to take his life and death into account?"

"Of course... As his senior, I trust his ability, but I am also concerned about his life and death. After holding the fortress of duanjie mountain, I will leave here and go to Xuegu Valley to find him. Is there no problem?"

Connord nodded without asking "how do you get there" nonsense.

I see. Did the wizard have all the plans before he left?

In order to achieve their goals, they ignore their own safety and set a comprehensive plan, which can ensure that the most basic plan can be realized in the worst case - so cautious and careful.

Worthy of being a pawn favored by his father

"Then, please, Sir Isaac," whispered Conrad. "I'll find a way to inform you when necessary."

"Well, leave it to me." he yawned and Isaac waved to him:

"It's so late. Hurry up and have a rest, big cousin."

Big cousin

Connord's expression twitched and went to the door of the laboratory without saying a word.

"Woo - - - -!!"

Before he left, a hasty horn sounded; Dreisis, with a pale face, hurried back from the outside:

"The Azores raided the fortress. Please go to the tower immediately to take shelter --!"
