39. Peace

"Who of you knows about this city of the dead. In the court hall of the Golden Stone Empire, His Majesty the Emperor said, "They said that we attacked their ally, the Elven Kingdom, and therefore declared war on our Golden Stone Empire. ”

"Your Majesty, the third prince brought 30,000 people to the elven kingdom a few days ago to ask for relatives, and I don't know why the fight started. The Elven Kingdom is said to have suffered nearly 26,000 casualties, and only about 20 of the 30,000 elite soldiers brought by the third prince fled back. According to the more than 20 soldiers who came back, it was because a black hoplite cavalry came out from behind that the three princes were defeated and killed, and this black hoplite cavalry should be the hoplites of the City of Death. ”

"With 10,000 people, they destroyed 30,000 of our elite infantry, although they took it by surprise, but their combat effectiveness was also quite fierce. ”

"They're just a castle, how powerful are they, and we only need to send an extra 100,000 light cavalry to wipe them out completely. ”

"Really?" said the intelligence officer of the Golden Stone Empire, "General Nemo, I don't know how you think you are compared to General Kodo of the Demon Empire?

"It's a little worse than him, but this city of the dead is something. ”

"The City of Death used to be called the City of Mist...... as soon as the Jinshi Empire's intelligence officer finished speaking, an exclamation rang out in the hall, and the general Nemo's face was even more dead. Of course, he knew about the great battle between the Longyan Empire and the Demon Martial Empire.

"In order to avoid the suspicion of the government and the opposition of the Longyan Empire, they moved to the Death Forest to rebuild this city of death, this city name was not given by themselves, but by their enemies. They now had more than 20,000 hoplites, named after their enemies, the Death Cavalry. Ordinary mages can't do any damage to them, and their hoplites are best suited for fighting on the plains. Unfortunately, most of our country is a plain area. Their archers were armed with the latest weapon, the repeater, which could shoot twenty arrows in a rapid manner. Their hoplites, on the other hand, were armed with larger crossbows that could quickly fire a hundred arrows. This has been confirmed from the mouths of the soldiers who fled back from the Elven Kingdom. When they come within range of our mage team, there is no way we will have a mage to stand up. Their crossbow arrows have twice the range of our mage's effective attack range. According to our Intelligence Service, while they were still in the Misty City, they test-fired a massive piece of equipment that they called the Siege Greatbow. They only test-fired once, and that time, they smashed a one-meter-thick iron-clad city gate. I don't think any empire has a city gate that is a meter thick, right?"

After saying that, the intelligence officer stopped talking, in fact, he didn't want to say it, but the consequences of not saying it were unbearable for the empire.

What should we do? Can we beat it? Are we stronger than the Demon Empire? We just have more money than them! No, I heard that their team is almost at the border of the Empire. This damn third prince, it's not good to mess with anyone, to provoke this damn killer, oh my God, how is this good?

There was chaos in the chamber of the Golden Stone Empire. Suddenly, a voice said, "We can pay for the underground killers to assassinate them!"

"Yes, haven't we done this before? This time, if he dares to come, he will not come back. ”

For a while, the hearts of these ministers came alive again, and even their spirits improved. But the words of that intelligence officer once again knocked them into the abyss.

"I'm afraid this trick won't work. ”

"Why?"

"First, no one in the City of Death is allowed to enter without permission, their walls are twenty meters high, four meters higher than the walls of our royal city, it is impossible to sneak in, it is even more impossible to sneak in, they all come out in a team, you can't hide among them and sneak into the city. Second, and most importantly, the stabbing of the slave owner who caused a lot of trouble three years ago, according to the evidence I found, all points to the Misty City at that time. In other words, it is likely that they sent people to carry out the assassinations at that time. These assassins are no worse than the underground assassination organizations, and when one of them falls under the arrow, it is hard to guarantee that all these assassins from all over the empire will come to us in search of food. You know, there used to be a slave trade, but now? Who would dare to engage in such a profession? At that time, there were bloody murders of slave owners in every empire. The homes of the slave owners who had been killed were also ransacked. The methods are as ruthless as those of an underground assassination organization. Compared to the underground assassination organization, they do it more professionally. As far as I know, even if we pay to hire these underground assassination organizations, as long as they know that their target is the City of Death, I'm afraid we will suffer first. ”

"What then, ministers. "This Emperor of the Golden Stone Empire was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.

"Report ......"

While the ministers were dizzy from the discussions, an urgent document from the front line of the empire was sent back to the imperial capital in an expedited manner of eight hundred miles.

"The 20,000 dead cavalry of the City of Death and about 10,000 infantry, and about 8,000 archers have arrived in our border city of Jinke. ”

"Ah, so fast?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, they blasted open our gates as soon as they came to our city, and now it is unknown whether the city is still in our hands. ”

"Report ......"

As he was talking, another eight-hundred-mile rush came back.

"General Weng Bai, the general of the defending army of Jinke City, urgently reported. ”

"Hurry up ......"

"Your Majesty, Jinke City was surrounded by enemy legions overnight, both gates have been broken by the opponent's giant weapons, our soldiers defending the city were mostly shot by a strange arrow cart of the enemy, and their attack distance is more than five times more than our army's bow and arrow, our army of magicians has now been lost, please Your Majesty immediately send reinforcements, otherwise the minister can only die in the country. General Kinko Weng Bai Chick!

"Your Majesty......"

"What else can I do, I can't beat people, I want to buy underground killers, and now I can't do it, send reinforcements? It seems that people haven't moved cavalry yet. ”

"Your Majesty, make peace with them!"

"Now it seems that I can only do this, but I don't know what conditions people will propose, alas~. For the first time, the Goldstone Empire succumbed, "Mora, you are the Chancellor of the Goldstone Empire, you go and talk to them." ”

The Emperor of the Jinshi Empire seemed to be ten years old overnight.

At this time, the Jinshi Empire was on the periphery of Jinke City.

"General, their gates have been opened, why don't we rush in. A cavalry captain asked, puzzled.

"Of course I know that our warriors can rush in and slaughter them, but then it won't be worth much. ”

"Huh?"

Looking at the puzzled eyes of this cavalry captain, Kane smiled bitterly in his heart, these words were what Mo Fei told him when he told him, with Kane's character, he was afraid that he would not be able to wave his army into the city early.

But what Mo Fei told him, he also agreed, Mo Fei said: "We attack the Jinshi Empire, not to destroy them, even if we can snatch the Jinshi Empire, such a big empire, you don't want to be the emperor, so who cares? Beat him, let him know the pain, show them our military might, then they will not dare to provoke us again in the future, and they will have to pay us a large amount of gold coins, how good, really all down, Kane, the emperor of the Jinshi Empire is up to you." ”

After Mo Fei said this, Kane's cold sweat kept rising, really let him be the emperor of an empire, and it would be strange not to make him crazy. Mo Fei taught him that if he didn't enter and hurt them, they would send someone to negotiate peace, and it was not up to them to decide what conditions they wanted.

"General, there is an old guy outside the camp who claims to be the Minister of Finance of the Jinshi Empire who wants to see you. "It's finally here, Kane thought. The lord of the city is the lord of the city, and everything is expected.

"Well, we're going to be the Chancellor of the Exchequer. ”

When the Chancellor of the Golden Stone Empire walked into the tent and saw Kane sitting in the middle, he was a little scared. In order to scare more benefits from this guy's mouth, Kane and several other cavalry captains in the military tent all went berserk, and the huge body and the murderous aura exuded under the black heavy armor made this imperial minister a little weak.

"You, what are you doing here?" said Kane coldly.

"I am the Minister of Finance of the Jinshi Empire, and I have come to negotiate peace on the orders of my majesty. ”

"You can go back, I received an order to sweep through the Jinshi Empire, and we" The city lord did not give me the right to negotiate peace. Kane said seriously.

"General. "This chubby drink a little bit of a financial rush.

"Do you know who you provoked?" Kane snorted coldly, "Even our allies dare to provoke, or do you mess with our city lord's lover's family, do you think our city lord will let you go?"

"Isn't that ignorant of our third prince, our empire has never thought of provoking the elven kingdom! Now it's useless to say this, our empire will compensate the elven kingdom and the general for this, and ask the general to order the siege to stop the city first, how about we discuss slowly?" The Chancellor of the Exchequer thought that as long as Kanken stopped, then it would be easy to say anything.

"Compensation?" Kane sneered, "We don't need you to make amends, after the army is over, ours will always be ours, and yours will be ours." ”

When the Minister of Finance of the Jinshi Empire heard this, he was stunned, they are going to destroy our empire!

When he entered the barracks just now, the Chancellor of the Exchequer saw the legendary death cavalry that was ready to go, but had not yet been used, and saw the terrifying momentum exuded from the black armor, and the Chancellor knew that his empire did not have an army that could withstand the onslaught of this well-equipped army. Seeing those strange arrow carts firing huge arrows into the city from afar, the heart of this important minister of the empire suddenly contracted.

"General, if our country does its best to entangle with your army, even if your army wins in the end, I am afraid it will be a disastrous victory. Why not accept the peace proposal proposed by His Majesty? As for how to compensate for the loss of your city and the elven kingdom, the general can bring it up, and if he can reply immediately, I will give the general an answer immediately. I can't call the shots, and I can give the general a satisfactory answer in three days at most. What does the General think?" said the Chancellor, looking at Kane.
