Chapter 90: The Next Step

The crowd looked at Lelouch and wanted to see what Lelouch would say? When this kind of parting is on the cusp, if you don't say a word right, it will have an indelible impact on yourself, of course Lelouch also knows, so Lelouch has his own ideas, Richard has a good heart, anyway, now is also an opportunity to show himself, how many people want to yet.

Lelouch raised his glass:

"Respect, our deceased comrades!"

"Respectfully, our victory!"

"Respect, heroes here!"

Three salutes in a row, Lelouch drank three glasses of wine in a row, this remark is extremely novel in Middle-earth, and the crowd is embarrassed not to drink this wine, because no one will object to toasting to their relatives and comrades-in-arms, the crowd also drank three glasses of wine in a row with Lelouxiu, although the crowd drank out of reason, but after drinking, the feeling of the crowd was different, after all, everyone drank the wine because of Lelouxiu.

After three glasses of wine, the crowd looked at Lelouch with a more or less softened gaze, the young nobles who had begun to have a good impression of Lelouch themselves, appreciated the color better, in the eyes of the Middle-earth, the speech at this time should be all kinds of boasting of their abilities, but Lelouch reminisced about the sacrificed others, no matter how to say, it also reflected Lelouch's noble personality.

The ancient aristocracy was like this, although they were not very reasonable, but they would have a special favor for those whom they considered to be of noble character, and this may be said to be simple.

Lelouch stepped down in a low-key manner after a little limelight, Lelouch fought for the hearts of the people at the bottom, and these tasks at the top will definitely be offended in Lelouch's planning in the future, so instead of this, it is better not to spend effort to please now, so as not to get into trouble.

The crowd did not continue to make noise after Lelouch finished speaking, because the crowd knew that the real highlight of the dinner was coming.

I saw the Grand Duke of the South come to the front desk with a dry cough, and after looking around the crowd, he said:

"Alright, that's all right."

Lelouch looked at the Grand Duke of the Southern Realm who came to the forefront, this is an old man who is close to 100 years old, even in the age of the human race in Middle-earth, he is a relatively old person, although the traces of the years are all over his face, but the temperament of the Grand Duke is extraordinarily distinct, Lelouch even feels that he is just a little closer, and he can feel the coldness and severity of the Duke of the South.

The narrow eyes on the hooked nose are like old vultures that are enough to search for prey, and the title of Duke of the South seems to come from his appearance, Duke of Vulture-De Cres.

As the richest and last rich land of the human race, the Grand Duke of the South, De Cres is undoubtedly the highest authority under the human emperor of the human race, in fact, the human emperor even has some ulterior close ties with De Cres, it is rumored that the current human emperor is a member of the De Cres family, although he is not a direct line, but he also has a marriage relationship, which is why De Cres is so loyal to the human emperor, because as long as this human emperor is still on the throne for one day, then the De Cres family will not lose power.

"Although we have won the battle, it is impossible for us to continue the war, so what do you think about the situation in the future?"

After DeCres finished speaking, he looked down coldly, who dared to speak at this time? As the cornerstone of the empire's rule, they only have the right to vote, not the right to propose, and although these rights are not explicitly regulated, they are also an unspeakable axiom, so they are all waiting for the Grand Duke to say their plans, and then after evaluation, decide whether to compound their interests.

After the routine was completed, De Crees didn't talk much nonsense, and said directly:

"We have won this battle, so we should take it as soon as we see it, and send an envoy to seek reconciliation, and I believe that on the premise of not ceding the land, Mordor should have a good chance of accepting our proposal."

De Crees's words made the people below talk a lot, and the old nobles nodded approvingly, showing great interest in this proposal, but the young nobles, especially the young nobles who had not experienced the world war a hundred years ago, looked at De Cres in disbelief, although this is not the earth, but the truth is common, from ancient times to the present, how can there be a winner to seek peace?

In fact, in fact, De Cres's proposal is quite old-fashioned, no matter how you look at the victory won by the Terrans, it can only be attributed to good luck, if there is another battle like this, maybe there is no need to line up another army, as long as Elon pays more attention to the battlefield, the White City will be defeated, and Elon's troops are not the most elite legion of Mordor, not even the elite legion, the Terran and Mordor are far inferior in terms of hospital quality and war potential, so this is destined to be a defeated war, At this time, summing is actually the best proposal.

But Lelouch doesn't think so, it's not that Lelouch is stubborn and thinks that the Terrans can win this war, but that Lelouch who came to the earth knows that between countries, there are only naked interests, even if there is no factor of his own, Mordor and the Terrans will have a war, I have to say that the Lord of Mordor is very smart, he clearly understands how high the people's hearts of the Terrans are after the defeat in the last war, and how united the various forces are, so there is no effort to eliminate the Terrans, After all, it's hard to find a race in Middle-earth that is as good at growing crops as the Terrans.

However, if you want the human race to grow crops for yourself willingly, blind brute force is obviously not advisable, so there was a hundred years of colonial rule.

When the Lord of Mordor felt that he had crushed the last backbone of the Terrans, Mordor would definitely give the Terrans the last blow, but this final blow was led out by Leluxiu, and happened to hold the inevitable wave of Mordor's offensive, and now it is impossible to surrender and sue for peace, judging from the war potential of Mordor, maybe the second wave of Mordor army is already gathering at this time.

Since the war cannot be avoided, then Lelouch believes that his side should be more active in preparing for war, the reason why this attack came so quickly is because Mordor had prepared for a long time, they may not have thought that the war would fail, so the second wave of attacks was almost unprepared, which also gave the Terrans more time to prepare, and at the same time, it also gave the Terrans the most urgently needed initiative on the battlefield.

"I have an objection!"

Just as Decres was about to announce the execution of this plan with a little satisfaction, Lelouch stood up.
