The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 264: This is Annan style

Under Zhuoya's explanation, Annan quickly understood.

...This is once again a plan arranged by Annan in the first week of the week.

His initial speculation was completely correct - rather, it was precisely because it was his own plan that Annan could guess so well.

Because no one knows "Annan" better than Annan.

Think about it...what kind of dilemma was the Principality of Winter facing ten years ago.

The Polar Brotherhood had already been established at that time, but it had not yet started building the curse cellar, but it was probably already in contact with the Fallen;

Judging from the composition of the top management of the Icebreaker Army, the group of Winter Hands represented by the "right hand" at that time also had a lot of troublesome people mixed in...

Annan remembered that when he was in Noah, Old Bread mentioned that "Lin Dong blocked the news and they couldn't get the information." But all external matters are handled by the "right hand" of the Hand of Winter.

This means that the Kingdom of Noah could even obtain information from the Hand of Winter before. Either someone is selling information, or a spy has simply sneaked in...

In addition, the mainland nobles in the cold winter are also uneasy - the corpse curse circulating within the Melvin family is undoubtedly some kind of plan in progress; because Ivan's anti-corruption laws in various places have also made many The local nobles were dissatisfied with him, and the Winter family had not taken action for a long time...it really lacked deterrence.

What if Annan had discovered something similar to the Melvin family's "curse of living corpses"... belonging to all the forces in the winter.

It is entirely possible that he directly used "Right Thumb" Vladimir to administer this powerful medicine.

——First, let the Winter Defying One collect all the Winter Hands who are suspected to be spies from other countries or have poor abilities, and then choose to defect. In this way, all these Hands of Winter will be eliminated...and the Grand Duke will have an excuse to consolidate power.

These responsibilities are said to have been merged into the left hand, but after all, these are powers that have been taken back and re-gifted by the Grand Duke. You must check with the Grand Duke before taking action... This is equivalent to receiving power that has not been directly managed for a long time.

In the subsequent liquidation, those local nobles who had funded the Icebreaker Army would also have an excuse to eliminate them. This is also a large-scale decision to transfer power to the central government.

As a final "waste utilization", Vladimir enters the underground world and continues to gather the enemy's winter forces... While expanding his power, he can also plunder resources without worrying about reputation.

In the end, Annan defeated it. While obtaining these resources, he was also able to defeat the enemy Winter's forces in one fell swoop.

——It is indeed a good plan.

It is indeed Annan's style.

Annan's plans usually focus on achieving multiple goals with one stone. At that time, Annan had been frozen by the Heart of Winter for nearly ten years, and his emotions were extremely weak... It is understandable that he would be more ruthless than Annan.

"However, two years after he entered the underground world...[The Winter Defender] suddenly stopped contacting us."

Zhuo Ya said this.

Obviously the Winter Defenders are still active underground. Although his presence is not very strong, he is indeed gathering the enemy's forces in winter, and is constantly building and strengthening his own forces.

But he suddenly stopped contacting Lin Dong.

No matter how Lin Dong changed his contact information to find him, he either couldn't be found or there was no reply. In short, he completely cut off his connection with Winter... and Winter could not claim on the contrary that "the anti-winter is actually someone we sent out" or "this was our plan from the beginning."

Those people have been liquidated. Now you are saying that you and the leader are in the same group?

Then there will be trouble inside the winter.

It would be the most troublesome if the Winter Defying Man revealed this information - no matter whether Archduke Winter acknowledged it or not, as long as he said so and someone deliberately publicized it, it would undermine the authority of Archduke Winter. Cause considerable damage.

...But the problem is that the Winter Defying Man didn't do this either.

He has a lot of information in his hands and knows a lot of secrets.

Once it really breaks out, it will cause great losses to Lindong... But he has not shaken it out, and Lindong cannot send people to chase him, nor dare to hire saints to intercept it. he.

"Because he has not done any actual harm to Winter, we cannot be 100% sure that he has indeed defected. But he has been accumulating power for so many years, but he has never contacted us even once... This It is obviously not normal and unreasonable.

“I must also admit that Vladimir is the strongest Hand of Winter. He is proficient in various espionage techniques, tracking and anti-tracking techniques. If he is being monitored, he can easily leave a password...More Needless to say, no one can spy on him silently."

Zhuo Ya said cautiously at that time: "This matter is indeed strange, but I suggest you don't worry about it anymore..."

Her opinion is to continue to wait and see - at least not to push the "winter inverse" to the other side and let him become a real "winter inverse".

Annan thought so too.

Compared with the hazy situation on the Winter Defender side.

The Melvin family and the Far North Brotherhood are much more realistic——

The former is both a "curse of living corpses" and "refining of gold", while the latter is "secret communication with the fallen" and "the use of sealed forbidden techniques".

This bounce is really refreshing.

They don't have that many tricks at all.

At least there is no need for Annan to hesitate and not know whether he is a friend or an enemy when he is ready to take action.

Annan never likes to wait, and he acts decisively and neatly.

When Citalopram and Si Anke took the time to go online at noon, Annan directly asked him to teleport over.

Gathering together the three players Citalopram, Si Anke and Wandering Child, as well as the two high-level Winter Hands of "Left Ring Finger" Zoya and "Left Little Finger" Zolgen, Annan and his party set off directly .

——This is the second day after Annan succeeded to the throne.

It wasn't even twenty-four hours before he inherited the position of Grand Duke... He ran out of Frostwhisper Province.

At this time, Dmitry, who had just left the province, had just heard the news that Ivan had transformed into a dragon and Annan had succeeded him, and was about to rush back... But before he could leave, Annan had already ran out. .

And he also holds the "tricolor scepter", the symbol of ecumenical authority.

This is a completely different mobility from the weak and gentle Grand Duke Ivan.

But at least Zoya and Zolgen are not annoying.

Grand Duke Ivan is the type that no one will dislike...

He usually has many scruples in his actions, and generally chooses to mediate and resolve disputes. Using "prosperity" to forcibly overcome instability... He is the one who handles the winter best among all the previous generations and has the fewest young people to escape the cold winter.

But this also means that Ivan will not be too tough in high-level battles.

But Annan is different.

The people in Winter knew that Dmitri had started helping Ivan with government affairs more than ten years ago - but none of them knew that Grand Duke Ivan's youngest son "Annan Winter" had been growing up since he was four years old. From the beginning, he has been helping to make plans; since he was six years old, he has personally weaved and dismantled many conspiracies.

When he couldn't even run well, he could already use difficult compound rituals; at the age of eight, he had written down poems and invented more than ten new inventions, including the internal combustion engine.

While creating these great achievements ~IndoMTL.com~ Annan even consciously hid himself... Only the senior Winter Hands and his immediate family members knew what he had done.

Of course, in Zhuo Ya's view, there is no need to hide this kind of thing at all.

Because this sounds so fantastical - anyone who sounds like it will think that this is Ivan helping his youngest son to build momentum.

In other words, it’s bragging.

And Zoya and the others had already carried out several "not so mild" but effective enough tough actions under Annan's command. It was precisely because of this combination of soft and hard administrative methods that Grand Duke Ivan, who had to walk on crutches, was feared by the nobles.

But none of them could have imagined...

This "soft and hard approach" means originally two people, one soft and one hard.

To outsiders, it seems that Grand Duke Annan has just ascended the throne and is extremely young. The Hands of Winter must have many thoughts in their minds.

But only they, the "Ten Fingers", know... In fact, they have already acted under Annan's command.

Compare Ivan’s decision-making.

They prefer Annan's style of conduct.

For example, before Annan and his party left for Wrangel Province...

Annan looked for his "left index finger" and wrote a piece of paper.

First transfer the frost beast troops and place them quietly at their door.

Is it scary?

—Yeah, it's scary.
