vs 13 Peace talks?
With a very special smile on his face, Pedi looked at Don Wright and said in a victorious tone, "What do the orcs want to talk about, about their final graveyard?"
Don Wright removed the chainmail gloves from his hands and said as he moved his fingers, "Anything can be discussed, as long as you can keep the remaining orc soldiers safe." β
"I'm here to keep the orcs safe? You're kidding, Don Wright... "Sir!" said Peddy, with a look on his face, "what can they bring to the table?"
"They can lay down their arms and surrender without order, your army can reduce the losses of at least 10,000 people, and at the same time, you can end the war in Crewe early." β
"I'm afraid they'll suddenly turn back, and the orcs will be difficult to tame. Pedi shook his head slightly.
Tang Wright pinned the gloves to the belt and said, "My lord, in the three hundred years of the Empire, there has never been a nobleman who has been able to capture more than 10,000 orc warriors at one time, and if you recruit these nearly 30,000 orc warriors, your deeds will be praised by the world." β
Pedi smiled noncommittally... Then he walked to the chair where he usually sat in the tent, and looked at a huge military map embedded on the wooden table next to him, and on his left hand side, several staggered documents stood out, which were the follow-up battle plans drawn up by the various legions.
Continuing to fight means that the casualties of the soldiers will continue...
Pedi had been to the wounded barracks, and had been there more than once, and he had prayed for the fallen soldiers, and at the height of the war, he himself lit the final bonfires for the remains of the soldiers almost every night.
He wanted to end this war as soon as possible, and he wanted the orcs to wail under his blade, which was not contradictory, at least not until Don Wright brought the orcs the will to surrender and negotiate peace.
Now, with victory in sight, the defeat of the Orc Expeditionary Force seems to be a foregone conclusion.
At this time, Pedi is like the side about to win the duel, and he is about to swing his sword for the final blow... For the final blow, the winner of the duel gave everything, and just as he was covered in scars and wanted to enjoy the rights of the final victor, he was suddenly called to stop... That's how Pedi feels right now!
...
In fact, if he can recruit the orcs, it will be a good thing for Kru Ling at this moment, but after all, Pedi has not experienced the erosion and precipitation of real years, and he will be swayed by his own emotions when he thinks about things.
Tang Wright, who was next to him, watched Pedi ponder, and after a little bit of emotion, he immediately said: "I know very well the damage that the orcs have caused to the empire since the beginning of the war, but this is the war, my lord, what you should be thinking about now is the officers and soldiers who are fighting on the front line,
If you can accept the surrender of the orcs, the war in Kru's territory can end early, the front-line officers and soldiers will not have to go through bloody battles, and you can save nearly 10,000 families who are fighting for you, you..."
At this time, Pedi looked up at Don Wright and asked, "If my brother and father were sitting in my position at the moment, would they agree without thinking about it when they faced this problem, after all, it would not be bad for Kru Ling." β
"Only at the negotiating table can we gain greater benefits for ourselves, especially when the war advantage is in our hands. Don Wright didn't answer Pedy's words directly, "And now, this is the time." β
"In order to reduce unnecessary casualties, I agree to talk to the orcs first, but I must see the sincerity of the orcs. Pedi tapped the fingers of his right hand lightly on the table, "Let the Orc Tenth Banner Regiment lay down their weapons and walk out of the jungle, as for the two Banner Regiments that have fled to the north of Beenburg, I can let them keep their original weapons for the time being, but they must be camped in place to stop further fleeing." β
Tang Wright was stunned for a moment, "If you can guarantee their safety, in three days, the Tenth Banner Regiment of the Orcs, including the Expeditionary Commander-in-Chief Morinda Overseer, will appear in the place you designated." β
Pedi nodded emphatically, "I swear in the name of the Reagan family that if the orcs accept to surrender, no one in the Crewe Territory will be able to harm their lives. β
"I need your magical contract, and the paperwork you wrote yourself. Don Wright said as he pulled out the deeds written on fine parchment from his dirty leather armor.
Seeing this, Pedi couldn't help but say, "Which side are you on?"
"I'm always on your side, you have no doubt about that. Don Wright saluted respectfully.
Pei Di shook his head and smiled, took the papers and put them aside, "Put these documents away, and let's go to the garrison barracks of the Tenth Banner Regiment together." β
With that, Pedi stood up and walked briskly to the gate of the tent.
...
Meanwhile, in the southern jungle of the Dallas Mountains, in the garrison camp of the Orc Tenth Banner, Old Overseer Morinda Morinda and his son Wolfma are discussing the surrender of the Crewe Army.
The stubborn and courageous leader of the Wolf Ma Banner, because of the influence of the jungle environment, his body is obviously sick, and the old Overseer's is even worse, he is lying in a dirty hammock, sweating non-stop, if it were not for the two orc high priests to renew his life every day, perhaps this old orc would have returned to the arms of the beast god Ge Gu.
"Are you really going to want the humans to surrender?" said Wolf Mar's voice with a little helplessness, and he had no solution to the predicament faced by the Tenth Banner Regiment.
Morinda took two deep breaths and said, "These lads should not be buried for our failure, they have the right to continue to live, my child, we have no choice now." β
Life in the jungle was not as simple as the orcs imagined, they did not have the local residents of the Byan Territory as guides, and the germs and humid air that permeated the jungle alone made a large part of the orc warriors vomit and diarrhea.
After listening to her father's words, a look of loneliness appeared on Wolf Ma's face...
"This is the inevitable result of our expeditionary force. The Morinda Overseer's cloudy eyes looked at the lush foliage, and said in a very small voice: "The plan that the High Command made at the beginning was originally to storm the empire from both the fortress of Anku and the town of Balan, and use a pincer attack to defeat all the military forces of the empire in one blow..."
"This is impossible, we don't have that kind of strength!" Wolf Ma clearly realized the foundation of the empire in this war.
Morinda slowly turned his head and looked at his eldest son with an approving gaze, "Yes, the Supreme Command also realized this after comparing the strengths of the two sides, so there was a plan for the future..."
When Wolf Ma heard this, his green eyes suddenly expanded, and he stared at his father in shock, "Do you mean that we have been abandoned?"
"Ahem... Ahem..."Morinda coughed violently twice, took two deep breaths to stop the priest from approaching, and said in a weak voice, "It can only be said that this is our task... Now, our mission has been accomplished, and in the early stages of the war, the expeditionary force has succeeded in pinning down most of the forces of the Crewe Territory, and at the same time severely damaged the human navy... But many things are unpredictable, I didn't expect that we would fail so completely, and even lose the final retreat,
According to my estimates, the goblins must have been trying to find a way to make peace with humans at this moment, so we must complete peace talks with humans before the goblins, and besides, the warriors can't afford to wait now!
Look at our soldiers, they've been tortured by this damn jungle to even hold their weapons, and now, if a human army suddenly appears, we don't even have the strength to resist. β
Wolf Ma listened to his father's words, with a hideous expression on his face, and roared: "It's all those damn human paladins, they stole our information, without their help, the nobles of Kru Territory would not have been able to defeat us at all, at least not so quickly!"
The wrinkles on Morinda's face piled together, revealing a wry smile, "We are interdependent, and without their help in the early stages of the war, our army would have suffered heavy losses in the fortress of Anku, and now, those people are just receiving their due." β
"I'll make those dastardly paladins pay their due, as long as I'm alive. Wolf Ma said in a deep voice.
After hearing his son's words, Morinda was silent for a moment and then changed the topic and said: "Regarding the matter of peace talks, you are fully responsible, and I only have one request, I must reach a verbal agreement with the human race before the goblins. β
"Understood!" Wolfma turned to leave.
"Wait," Morinda gritted, "before that, you made a public announcement in my name that the Expeditionary Force had seceded from the orc tribe. β
"Thisβ" Wolfma knew why his father did this, of course, but he was still a little hesitant.
"Let those paladins send our announcement to the entire continent, and they will be happy to help, as their new masters will be happy. Morinda waved his hand and let the two high priests approach, apparently not wanting to discuss the subject too much.
