Opening an office in Taila

Chapter 283 Half a Year

After returning from the King's Staff, Song Yufeng waited for the King's Staff's final reply while actively preparing for battle.

Song Yufeng found Raphsini and asked her when the uprising could begin.

“An uprising? You mean in the next couple of days? Song Yufeng, we’re not prepared in any way right now. You have to understand. Our personnel aren’t in place yet. Although Hamilton’s whereabouts are unknown, a new officer to replace him is on his way. Also, we can’t contact the spies we’ve planted. An uprising now would be too risky,” Lavshini said, frowning.

Raphsini was quite surprised by Song Yufeng's sudden announcement of an uprising. Song Yufeng had previously expressed a desire to proceed slowly, and some of his orders indicated that he planned to train Shenchi well before launching the uprising. Why was he in such a hurry to start one now?

"Alas, the situation has changed, and we don't have much time left."

"what happens?"

"Latest intelligence: The Deep Sea Church has gathered all of Victoria's forces and is heading towards Londinium. Theresis in Londinium has reached some agreements with the Deep Sea Church. We don't know the specifics yet, but it's definitely not a good thing," Song Yufeng sighed.

Lafsini frowned, but then she said, "What does this have to do with us? I don't understand what the matter of Londinium has to do with Tara and Little Hill County. Besides, there are still a large number of Duke's troops outside Londinium. I don't think we need to worry about that for the time being. In short, it's too risky to start a rebellion now."

“Now is the time to rise up. Theresis’s reconnaissance team that investigated Deeppool has just left, bringing false intelligence to Theresis. At the same time, because of the gathering of the Deep Sea Church, Theresis’s attention must be entirely focused on the Londinium area. Right now, the Victorian army in Little Hill County is without a commander. As long as we rise up, Deeppool will definitely succeed,” Song Yufeng said.

"This..." Lavshini didn't know what to say for a moment. Usually, Abrahana would make the decision in this kind of matter.

“Mr. Song, normally I would fully support your decision, but now, I’m afraid I can’t.” Abrahana walked out of the room.

Lavshini immediately stood up and said, "Sister."

Abrahana gestured for Raphsini to sit down, and then said, "Now is indeed a good time for an uprising, but that is only in the context of the entire Little Hill County. In the context of the entire Victoria, or even Londinium, it is very unfavorable. This is the intention of the Duke behind us."

What was his reason?

“Lentinium is still in a stalemate, and the dukes have the energy to extend their reach to other places. At present, apart from the dukes who support us, the other dukes do not know that Little Hill County has been infiltrated by Deeppool, nor do they know that Deeppool is about to revolt. But if they revolt now, and the dukes are free to do their work, what do you think will be the outcome of Deeppool’s revolt?” Abrahana said.

Song Yufeng sighed. Indeed, the war in Londinium has not yet begun. The dukes are only in a standoff and have not actually started fighting. If the dukes return to defend, it will indeed be bad for Deeppool.

However, the Church of the Deep Sea will soon arrive in Londinium, and their arrival could very well trigger the Londinium War ahead of schedule. If an uprising breaks out then, it will be too late.

"Can I speak with that duke in person?" Song Yufeng asked.

"I'm afraid not. But I will convey information about the Deep Sea Church, Mr. Song."

In the end, Song Yufeng had to return empty-handed, but Abrahana did indeed begin preparing for the battle.

As soon as Song Yufeng returned to the agency, he couldn't wait to find Hai Mao and said, "What exactly did you say to Duke Windermere? Now, the powder keg of Lontinim is about to explode because of the arrival of the Deep Sea Church. If we don't do something, it will be no good for anyone if the Deep Sea Church's conspiracy succeeds."

"Calm down, Song Yufeng, don't rush." ​​Hai Mao said very calmly, "The Deep Sea Church may not necessarily start a war in advance, because the Kazdel army inside Londinium is also preparing. This is the latest intelligence I have. The Kazdel army needs at least half a year to prepare, and this half year is also your opportunity, Song Yufeng."

"Six months? Are you sure?"

“I’m quite certain. If you really don’t believe me, you can go to Lentinium yourself. As for what I said to Windermere… you’ll find out in six months.”

Song Yufeng rolled his eyes, but this also calmed him down. If there really was still six months left, then he could indeed make more preparations.

“Actually, there is a way for you to quickly gather your strength and advance,” Hai Mao said.

"any solution?"

"International aid."

"You mean Ursus and Yan? No, no, absolutely not. Ursus and Yan have only just emerged from the war," Song Yufeng said.

"Then pretend I didn't say anything. If all else fails, try Rhodes Island. Aren't they coming to Londinium too? Or try Letania. Don't forget, the Twin Queens are waiting for your visit." Sea Cat said, "Think whatever you want. Anyway, you still have six months. Make the most of it, otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?"

"We'll have to wait until next time..."

"Huh?" Song Yufeng didn't understand what Hai Mao was saying.

"Never mind what I said. Anyway, I've paved the way for you. Now it's up to you to see what you can do in the next six months."
