In the other world, women only slow me down.

The most reasonable use of it should be to give psychological hints to soldiers during war, making them fearless and brave enough to move forward.

If you use hypnosis directly to control the army.

Once the hypnosis is lifted by the enemy, the entire army will collapse in an instant, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

Therefore, in Lynch's view.

It is easy to get rid of Graf. Whether it is through direct physical destruction through assassination or social death through hypnosis, it is easy to take away the military power from Graf.

But the most difficult point is how to gain the trust of the people in a short period of time and make them recognize that he is in control of the army.

How to do this?

Lynch looked at the documents in his hand and fell into deep thought.

Chapter 81: Beating Old Bidden

"Please tell Lord Graf that Lynch from Brucekan is here to visit."

The next morning, Lynch appeared at the residence of the Leibangtaiying family.

After receiving the notification from the housekeeper.

Graf, who was practicing swordplay in his own manor, was a little confused:

"Lynch? Why did he come to see me?"

Due to the incident between Lynch and Celestine in the living room not long ago, Lynch's popularity has increased again, and even Graf, who has been retired for a long time, has heard about it.

After all, it's not easy to make the goddess look panicked.

Graf was very curious about this young man who had recently become famous in the Seventh Fortress, especially after he asked the butler for some information about Lynch.

At such a young age, he had already become the regent of a country and was also very powerful in martial arts.

Much better than that useless son of his.

"Humph."

When Graf thought of his son, he couldn't help but reveal an unhappy expression.

As the son of a military general, he actually became a useless scholar.

It's simply a family misfortune.

Claudia too, actually fell in love with such a loser, what a waste of youth and life.

What if Valentino's outstanding bloodline couldn't be passed down? What a huge loss it would be to the world!

Can she bear this sin?

As Graf thought about this, a surge of evil fire involuntarily surged in his heart.

After thinking for a while, Graf finally decided to meet with Lynch.

He wanted to see for himself whether Lin Qi was really as good as the legend said.

After meeting Graf, Lynch first displayed his noble demeanor and saluted the elderly Graf.

"General Graf, I've long heard of your name."

Graf nodded and looked Lynch up and down with an arrogant look on his face.

"Yeah, not bad."

Seeing this, although Lin Qi's expression did not change, his eyes grew imperceptibly colder.

He came to see Graf today.

To put it bluntly, it is like a weasel paying a New Year's visit to a chicken, with no good intentions.

Now this chicken still looks so arrogant and domineering, it is definitely destined to die.

But before he dies, Lynch still has to squeeze out his value according to the plan.

"Tell me, what do you want from me?"

Graf asked this while pointing his nose at Lynch.

Lynch looked into Graf's eyes and replied with a smile:

"It is said that General Graf is the most experienced and powerful swordsman in the Seventh Fortress. Therefore... as a junior, I, Linqi, have come to seek your advice."

Graham's house is suspicious of Ba Yin. The man is a warrior.

Very respectful of the value of force.

He would rather his own Leibangtaiying family die out than let the Valentino bloodline continue.

For this kind of person, using martial arts to open a window of communication is naturally the most appropriate choice.

not to mention……

Graf's attitude made Lynch feel.

It would be a wise choice to beat up old Biden now.

"Oh?"

Graf was extremely surprised. He looked at Lynch carefully and said:

"I've been retired for years. What could you possibly ask for advice? If you want to learn from me, go find Claudia. She's the current leader of the Knights of the Seventh Fortress."

Lin Qi smiled and shook his head, saying with some contempt:

"Claudia? She can't."

As soon as these words came out, Graf suddenly became energetic.

He thought so too.

Although Claudia is now the leader of the Knights of the Seventh Fortress, she is the most powerful person in the Seventh Fortress.

But in Graf's eyes, she is just a woman after all.

Naturally weaker than men in terms of strength, Claudia relied on her skills to forcibly make up for the difference between men and women.

Once faced with a man whose skills are not inferior to hers, Claudia will be at a disadvantage and ultimately lose.

This is true.

In the original plot, after the betrayal, Graf and Claudia officially fought each other, and Graf defeated Claudia in a crushing manner.

Even during the duel, Claudia was in poor condition due to various factors and was unable to exert her full strength.

But this still shows that there is a clear gap in strength between Graf and Claudia.

"In my opinion, the only person in the entire Seventh Fortress who can be considered a rival is you, General Graf."

Lynch flattered Graf, as if he was discussing a hero over a glass of wine.

"Hahahaha, you have good taste."

　=Reimu VI. Graf laughed heartily, clearly amused by Lynch's words.

"In that case, let me show you my strength."

As Graf said this, he drew out the long sword he carried with him and hooked his finger at Lynch.

A hint of coldness flashed across Lin Qi's eyes, but he still gently reminded:

"Be careful."

Graf said proudly:

"bring it on."

boom--

The next second, a flash of sword light passed by, and before Graf could even retract the happy smile on his face, he flew out and hit the wall of his own garden heavily, leaving a large human-shaped hole in it.

"Ugh..."

Graf crawled on the ground, vomiting blood.

I just felt like all my internal organs had shifted.

He looked at Lin Qi in horror, with only one thought in his mind:

This power... this speed...

How can it be? !

Could this person be here to assassinate me?!

Do not……

This, this may not be considered an assassination.

"Hey, General Graf, are you okay?"

Lynch ran up with a worried look on his face, and kept apologizing to Graf:

"I'm sorry, old general. I didn't expect you to be so slow to react. Time is merciless. If you were younger, you would definitely be able to withstand my attack."

This can at least be regarded as giving Graf a way out so that he won't be too embarrassed.

"Young man, no, you don't follow martial ethics and engage in sneak attacks."

Graf spoke incoherently as blood came out of his throat.

The steward and servants of the Leibang Taiying family behind him finally reacted and screamed:

"Call the doctor, call the priest! Quick!"

"No need."

Lynch waved his hand, and a light green magical wave appeared in his palm, and a vitality gathered into Graf's body.

Graf suddenly felt a sense of lightness inside and out, and the internal injuries caused by Lynch were recovering at an extremely fast speed.

"This...is this?"

Graf's shocked expression deepened again.

But Lynch just replied modestly:

"I am not talented, but I practice both magic and martial arts."

Then, Lynch looked into Graf's eyes and asked him:

"Old General, do you think that with my strength, I am qualified to be the commander of the Knights of the Seventh Fortress Guards Division?"

Chapter 82

Relying on Graf's prestige, Lynch was able to easily gain the trust of military officials.

After that, using reasonable and formal means, he would have a fair duel with the current commander of the Imperial Guard Division, Claudia, in front of the world and defeat her. Then, Lynch could legitimately obtain the military power of the Seventh Fortress.

People will naturally welcome those who are more powerful and stronger to become their umbrella and protect their safety.

This is Lynch's plan.

It's very simple and direct.

This is the confidence that strength brings to Lynch.

Ultimately, people in this world still prefer to follow the strong.

Graf was undoubtedly the most extreme among them. After being defeated by Lynch, he did not show any attitude like "This guy is so terrifying, he must not be allowed to stay", but instead he had great respect for Lynch.

When I heard that Lynch wanted to become the commander of the Guards Division and replace Claudia.

He even wanted to raise his hands and feet to express his agreement.

The position of the commander of the Imperial Guards Division should be given to the capable person. Otherwise, how can we protect the safety of the goddess?

It's just that Graf probably couldn't imagine it.

How will Lynch protect the goddess?

over the next few days.

Lynch followed Graf and kept visiting key figures in the Seventh Fortress military to gain their trust and support.
