My villain wants to save himself, but the yandere heroine disagrees

"But again, because you are the second son of President Louis, compared with your brother Mark, you need to work harder to get into the eyes of President Louis."

"But if you want to say who I like more, then I definitely like you more, Lawrence. After all, your background means that you will work harder than Mark, and it also means that you will be more powerful than him."

Giovanni said, came to Lawrence, put his hands on Lawrence's shoulders, his eyes were full of expectations for Lawrence.

Lawrence, a young man, could not stand up to Giovanni's rhetoric. At that moment, he felt a little elated.

"Uncle Giovanni, don't say that. Inheritance has to be done according to family rules. Besides, even if others know that I am better than my brother, they can't say it directly. You have to save some face for him. No."

"..." When Giovanni heard Lawrence's words, the smile on his face faded, and he stared at Lawrence for a long time before laughing again.

He sat back down in his seat.

"Hahaha, nephew Lawrence, you are right, you are right, this is the saying of hiding one's strength and biding one's time."

Seeing this, Lawrence also closed his mouth and smiled.

"But, there is something that has been bothering my uncle recently. I don't know if I should tell you..." At this time, Giovanni suddenly stared at the ground, covering his mouth with one hand on his knees, looking like Looking very embarrassed.

"Oh, it's a pity that my son Donnie is a loser. I hired such a good tutor for him, and I taught him a lot of principles myself. But in the end, he still made trouble for me in school. If it weren’t for Donnie, my second generation ancestor, I wouldn’t be like this now,” Giovanni said, shaking his head.

"Uncle Giovanni, please tell me, as long as I can help you as a nephew, I will do my best." Seeing Giovanni blaming Downey, Lawrence's eyes shone, and he spoke quickly Speaking of.

"However, if I, an elder, ask for help from a junior, I, as an uncle, will really lose my face..."

"Uncle Giovanni, please stop talking outside. You see, I call you uncle. Just let me, as your nephew, help you solve your problems."

In Lawrence's view, Giovanni had shown enough sincerity to him just now, and he definitely wanted to help him become the president of the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce.

After all, his words can almost be said to be explicit.

What's more, judging from Giovanni's accusation against Downey, it seems that if Lawrence can satisfy Giovanni, he will let him participate in the Duke's family.

The decision does not seem impossible.

"Then...did I really say that?" Giovanni said hesitantly.

"Yeah!" Lawrence nodded.

"Actually, it's not a big deal..." Giovanni said, telling Lawrence about the recent economic problems in the duchy.

"It seems that even your father can't handle this matter. It just so happens that I recently found out the source of the batch of textiles imported into the Duchy, which is the Duchy of Aragon."

"And Lawrence, you happen to be the person in charge of the Aragon branch, so I would like to ask you to help me operate it and cut off the financial path of the Lissen Chamber of Commerce. This will not only benefit the economy of my territory Healthy development can also improve your status in your father's heart."

"After all, defeating the Lissen Chamber of Commerce is a great achievement."

"..." Lawrence heard this, touched his chin and thought for a long time, and then nodded. "I understand, Uncle Giovanni, and I will try my best to do what you said."

"Okay, okay, I really saw the right person." Giovanni said this, showing a look of relief, then he stood up and patted Lawrence on the shoulder.

"I will reward you after everything is done this time."

"I don't ask for rewards from Uncle Giovanni. After all, we are a family. After this matter is over, my little sister will have nothing to say. By then, we will truly become relatives."

"Yeah!" Giovanni nodded. "Then it's a deal!"

"It's a deal!"

…

After watching Lawrence leave, the smile on Giovanni's face gradually dissipated.

"Bah, what a family." He said and spat.

"He's just a slightly smarter untouchable who knows how to make a fortune through speculation. Do you really think that you can be on an equal footing with the noble nobles?"

After learning that Chelinina was the cause of the economic downturn and lower taxes in his territory, Giovanni had already given up on the idea of ​​marrying into the Bonaventura family.

When Chelinina was finally forced to marry Downey because she couldn't run the business, he vowed to give Chelinina a painful second half of her life, torture her severely, and let her know that she had betrayed him. fate.

Anyway, he didn't care whether Donnie really liked Chelinina or not. In Giovanni's view, everyone was just his pawn.

As for Lawrence?

This time, because he was asking for help, Giovanni deliberately pretended to be like this in front of Lawrence. When Lawrence's matter is settled, he may choose to support Lawrence, but this is not because Lawrence helped him today, but because Lawrence helped him today. It all depends on who is most beneficial to him at the time.

If Mark is more helpful to Giovanni by then, Giovanni will turn to support Mark without hesitation.

Poor Lawrence, being used as a gun without knowing it. At this moment, he was sitting in the carriage on the way back, thinking about the happy life after defeating his sister, getting Giovanni's help, and becoming the president of the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce.

Chapter 7: Planning (3.1K)

"Chief, in this situation, we can't leave at all..." An orc military officer in the orc army was complaining to Baru.

The fire had been burning for three days before, and the orc army followed the fire and marched slowly in the mountains for three days.

Then, with the heavy rain, the orcs encountered a historic problem.

First of all, their food and grass, because they did not take good moisture-proof measures, they were simply piled together and covered, and they could not withstand the wind and rain. Many grains had deteriorated due to moisture and could not be eaten normally. The remaining food was only enough for the current orc army to eat for ten days, and the orc army had to retreat and look for supplies again.

And this is not the most important thing.

The soil here is very strange. After the orcs rescued the remaining food, the land behind them had become muddy. In addition, the orcs were big and strong, so the road on the way back was much more difficult than when they marched before. The valley that could have been walked out in one day, the orc army walked slowly for two days and still couldn't walk out.

The most important point is here.

The heavy rain fell for two consecutive days without stopping. During this period, because the forest in the valley behind was burned, the trees that could have played a role in consolidating the soil were now gone. Under the erosion of rain, mudslides and landslides occurred.

The huge mudslide blocked the road for the orc army to return north. It was basically a luxury for the orcs to evacuate quickly from here.

Baru watched the orcs in the distance constantly moving the boulders from the blockage formed by the landslide accumulation, trying to move a road that could allow the baggage troops to pass.

There are more than 50,000 troops in this army. The valley they are walking on is the largest and easiest to walk. In addition, Baru also asked other commanders to march from other valleys. Each of the divided legions has about 10,000 to 20,000 troops. Now because of mudslides and heavy rains, the orcs separated by the valley can only communicate through the eagles they raise.

However, because of the heavy rain, the eagles are very easy to lose their way in the rain, and many eagles are even unwilling to take the risk of taking off in the rain.

Until today, the rain was slightly lighter, and the communication between the orc armies was restored.

Baru's group of orcs was responsible for the main attack. There were about 100,000 orcs on the periphery of the battlefield, who were responsible for containing the enemy. The communication between this group of orcs and the central army was cut off for two days, and the army was panicked.

Unfortunately, the human army responsible for defending this group of orcs did not find anything unusual. They thought it was a trick of the orcs, so they remained motionless.

"How long do we expect it will take to move the blocked road ahead?" Baru asked his adjutant.

"It will probably take three or four days..." the orc officer beside him replied.

"..." Baru's frown relaxed a little, and then he continued to ask: "Do you think it is possible for humans to attack us through this heavy rain?"

"It should be impossible. We feel muddy, and those human soldiers wearing heavy armor must feel more muddy. They are not as hardworking as our warriors, and they will definitely not come."

"Well, I hope so." Baru nodded after hearing this.

At this time, a black shadow appeared in the distance of the sky, and a eagle flew over. After circling overhead for a while, it slowly fell down.

There was a bundle of parchment tied to its feet. Baru opened the parchment and then showed a surprised look.

"How is it possible!"

"Chief, what happened?"

"Something happened to the Bloodfire Clan Legion. They were attacked by humans and need our support..."

"Ah?!" The adjutant also showed a surprised look after hearing this.

According to the information given by the parchment, about 30,000 human soldiers launched an attack on the Bloodfire Clan Legion. The Bloodfire Clan Legion only had a little over 10,000 people in total. In addition to the heavy rain and mud, it was difficult for the orcs to exert their combat effectiveness in the muddy terrain.

Now the sky is gray and it is impossible to tell the time.

When the letter was written, the Bloodfire Clan Legion had lost more than a thousand well-trained warriors. Although they also hit the humans hard, the humans had several times more long-range firepower than the orcs, and they continued to consume the orcs from a distance. If the orcs wanted to fight back, they could not catch up with the humans and were easily stuck in the mud.

Baru looked at the parchment in his hand and threw it on the ground angrily.

"Chief, what should we do now? If the Bloodfire Clan doesn't get support, they will probably be wiped out..."

"..." Baru thought for a moment, and then said: "Let the Bloodfire Clan evacuate, retreat to the rear, don't bring food and supplies, and cross the mountains and forests with light equipment."

"Okay." The adjutant nodded after hearing this, then turned and walked into the military tent, and began to draft a letter to the Bloodfire Clan.

There is no other way. In this situation, the orcs are in a similar situation to being blocked in the mountains and forests by humans.

They can't rush out, and they can't take food and supplies with them when they retreat.

In order to preserve their manpower, the orcs can only retreat lightly.

But to say it is a retreat, given the discipline of the orcs, this order can basically be said to let the troops flee on their own.

As the order was issued, Baru's inner uneasiness was also increasing.

It would take another four or five days for the valley behind to clear a road large enough for the baggage troops to retreat. Could it be that humans would just let their troops run away?

This shouldn't be possible, right?

Thinking of this, Baru looked at the mountains and forests behind him and shook his head.

The number of troops here is large enough, and the valley is narrow. Even if the enemy chooses to attack, he can still resist one troop and clear the way with another troop.

...

On the other side, the Bloodfire Clan Legion.

This legion is composed of many orc tribes, but because the Bloodfire Clan occupies the largest scale among them, with a total of 2,000 warriors, the Bloodfire Clan became the leader of this legion, and the name of the legion was also attached to the name of the Bloodfire Clan.

At this moment, the battle has lasted for a full half day.

During this half day, the human army has been keeping a safe distance from the orcs, which is to the extent that humans can attack the orcs, but the orcs cannot fight back.

It's not that the orcs don't have long-range weapons, but their long-range weapons, such as spears and bows, can't be thrown too far because of their own weight, and the latter can't be shot too far because of the orcs' workmanship.

The long-range weapons of the human side, compound bows, crossbows, these weapons are much better than the weapons of the orcs in terms of range and lethality, and there is also long-range support and enhancement from the mage.

Therefore, relying solely on long-range consumption, humans can be described as a dimensionality reduction attack on orcs.

Usually on the battlefield, facing the charge of orcs, humans may not be able to escape, but now in the muddy terrain, the strong orcs are slower.

They can't shoot, and they can't catch up, and the orcs are full of anger and have nowhere to vent.

Some orcs did try to run out to chase, but they fell faster when they left the defensive formation.

Over time, the orcs who recognized the current situation could only shrink behind the bunker and passively take the beating.

Sven, the chieftain of the Bloodfire Clan, received Baru's reply. When he learned that other legions were also trapped by the mudslide and could not provide support, his mood instantly fell to the bottom.

Then, he ordered the orc warriors to stop clearing the way and pile the baggage carts and other items behind the team.

Then, when night fell and humans could no longer pursue, he gathered all the small leaders together.

"You should have realized that Chief Baru replied that their situation was also difficult and it seemed that they could not support us."

As he said this, the small leaders present were either clear or surprised.

"So, now for the lives of the warriors, we can only evacuate lightly, otherwise we can only be annoyed to death by humans here."

The baggage carried by the orcs was mainly food, spare weapons, armor, siege equipment, etc., but in this situation, let alone siege, it would be good to be able to return to the back.

The small leaders also understood Sven's meaning. After arranging the evacuation batches, they went back to prepare.

…

“Even if we are trapped in a trap, we must be careful of the desperate dog jumping over the wall.” In Phoenix City, Orson looked at the intelligence in his hand.

Now it has been nearly a week since he took over as the commander-in-chief of the front-line army. During this week, the war situation has changed rapidly.

“Then, Orson, are you going to let these orcs go back like this?” Lit asked curiously, sitting next to Orson.

These days, she has learned a lot of military knowledge from Orson. Orson’s experience in fighting, at least, at the strategic level, is at least one Carlisle ahead of the lecturers in the academy.

Now according to the battle report, the orcs have buried a lot of corpses on the way forward, but the losses of the army directly under the Duke of Antica are minimal and can be almost ignored.

“Attack the city first, attack the heart second.” Orson said this and smiled. "Once a group reaches a certain size, it means that the group will not always remain united."

"There will definitely be some things that divide the individuals in this group into several factions. These factions will unite for common interests in some cases, but this does not mean absolute unity."

"We only need a small push to disintegrate the enemy from within. Isn't it interesting to watch the enemy kill each other?" Orson said so.

He knew the common law of several orc invasions, which was that the orcs often took the initiative to withdraw in the end.

Although the imperial army contributed to this, it also had a lot to do with the internal conflicts of the orcs themselves.

What Orson needed to do was to let the internal conflicts of the orcs come in advance, and then, according to his arrangement, solve the orcs' problems once and for all.

Of course, his strategy would only be so straightforward in front of Lit.
