Chapter 234: I Have a Dream
The Supreme Leader is missing, the strongest elder is missing, four legion commanders plus one acting legion commander, three people were arrested, and one was seriously injured and unconscious. More than seventy percent of the middle and high-ranking officers were captured, and in just one hour, the losses of the expeditionary force reached a staggering 70,000.
400,000 troops against 100,000 coalition troops, but the end result was that the Alsa coalition army lost less than 5,000 people, and the expeditionary force lost more than 70,000.
A battle loss ratio of more than ten times is simply a huge joke.
At the beginning, the casualties of the expeditionary force were fairly suppressed, and they were always at the point of five to one, although the ratio was still exaggerated, but it was not desperate.
But with the disappearance of Narius, three of the five corps commanders were captured, and one was unconscious, leaving only the logistics corps commander to support the faΓ§ade there, plus the heavy firepower was in turn controlled by the Al-Sasa coalition forces (there was an oolong, the expeditionary force mentioned earlier brought seventy birdwing ballistas, but in fact they were ten, and I slipped my hand to beat it to seventy).
Finally, when Long Wei appeared and swept across the battlefield, the casualties of the expeditionary force went up at once. It was not until all the soldiers of the expeditionary force lost the will to fight that the battle loss ratio became 5,000 to 70,000.
Banned in the array.
Krees and Helios waited anxiously for more than an hour, and just as they were about to lose their patience, suddenly the space around them flickered again, and then a surprise person appeared.
Snow asked.
"Your Royal Highness? How did you end up here? Could it be that you were arrested by Tang Dou before? Krees asked, glaring at Snow.
Xue asked Ben to chat with people in the new workshop to understand the battle situation, but he was suddenly thrown out, and he was also confused, and he was stunned for two or three seconds before he reacted: "Elder Cress, Elder Helios, who are you?" Where is it? β
"Yo, three, you haven't seen you for a long time, do you want me to give you a little time to catch up more?" Tang Dou appeared outside the formation.
"Tang Dou!" Xue asked if he hadn't seen Tang Dou in Avalon for the past few days, every time he heard where Tang Dou appeared, when he rushed over, Tang Dou had already run away.
When the soul power was sealed, Xue asked if he wanted to run past Tang Dou, who had mastered spatial movement, wasn't that a joke.
"Yo, uncle, Isaac has been missing him for more than a year, and I really miss it. Come on, let's hug? Tang Dou made a hugging motion, but his feet were as if they had taken root, motionless.
Xue asked and stared at Tang Dou deadly, as if he wanted to make Tang Dou ashamed with his eyes, but it was obviously impossible, so in the end, the elf prince smiled bitterly: "Okay, I'm really not your opponent!" Say, what the hell do you want to do? β
Tang Dou shrugged: "Three, this boring and stupid war is over, your expeditionary force has lost more than 100,000 before and after, but there are still nearly 300,000 elves left in the log oasis. They have no baggage, no supplies, no fighting spirit, not even a leader. They are desperate, devastated, confused! β
The more the three of them listened, their eyes widened, and they knew very well that if what Tang Dou said was true, then the 300,000 army had already reached the brink of death, and with a little stimulation, they would die in this ruthless desert.
Is what Tang Dou said true?
Of course!
"You've already killed Narus?" Kreese stared at Tang Dou tightly.
Tang Dou shrugged: "I really want to kill him, I have to kill him, but he didn't die, he only left a false doppelganger from the beginning, and the real body doesn't know where to go." The entire expeditionary force is just a pawn in his hands! β
"This, how is this possible?" The three shouted in unison.
Although they disagreed with Narlius politically, and even fought against each other one day, they always believed that Narlius was at least on the side of the interests of the Elves as a whole.
Why is this happening?
"As I said before, Narus is already a member of the Demon Heart Sect, or even worse, after he was corrupted by the Demon Heart Sect, he set up his own faction, wanting to use the power of the Elf Clan to complete one of his ambitions. And his ambition is hidden in this desert. Tang Dou spread his hands: "So I'm here to inform the three of you, if you are willing to end this stupid war, then I will let you go back and reorganize your army, and then I need the three of you to help me find Narius and kill Nalius!" β
"What if we say no?" Kreese narrowed his eyes.
"Then I have to ask you to stay here, I know this place can't trap you forever, but I have a way to get you very far. You won't find the 300,000 army in a month. And those 300,000 invaders, can they hold out for a month? I'm looking forward to it! Tang Dou showed that evil smile again.
He raised his eyebrows: "Well, is it an extreme survival challenge for 300,000 people?" It's a little exciting to think about. So be it, I don't need your help. I really want to see if 300,000 people will eat people when they are hungry to the limit. Tut-tut, I'll definitely buy more recording rune stones, record this scene, and get ...... when the time comes."
"Enough! Tang Dou, if you dare to do this, I will fight with you endlessly! Snow asked, her eyes red, her face twisted to perfection.
Tang Dou looked at the snow lightly and asked, "Never die?" Uncle, you seem to have gotten two things wrong! β
His face turned cold: "First, you are invaders, you are butchers, and you have come in to slaughter all the Arsarians, murderers, and men to kill them. If you want to be a butcher, be prepared to be slaughtered! Do you elves want to be nobler? Can you kill? Can't anyone kill you? β
"Second, uncle, you don't have the ability to fight me, and you don't have the ability to fight me. If you don't take revenge for killing your father, and you don't care about the interests of tens of millions of elves, you just commit suicide for the sake of 300,000 butchers? Tut-tut, Elvin Elandi, do you think you have what it takes? You don't even qualify to die. β
Xue asked, and her whole body trembled uncontrollably: "Do you know something?" Do you know something? β
Tang Dou rubbed his chin: "Now that I think about it, it doesn't matter if you die." I can help my father-in-law avenge his revenge, and as long as I kill all the guys who don't listen, and then plant the blame on some people, just like my father-in-law suffered at the beginning, and then I let Yun Yue be the elf queen and I will be the regent. Oh hehe, it's not bad to think about! β
He smiled evilly: "Okay, uncle, you can die." Do you want me to give you a knife? β
"That's it! Tang Dou, I know what you mean, but I want to say, you are so bad that it is outrageous! Krees interrupted Tang Dou's words and looked at Tang Dou with an unkind face.
Tang Dou shrugged noncommittally and said nothing.
Krees knew that the other party was waiting for his answer, and he took a deep breath: "I, Krees Moriadu, swear in the name of the war spirit and the family, after Tang Dou frees us, I will do everything possible to restrain the 300,000 expeditionary force, let them wait for orders in the log oasis, not invade a place, not kill a person, everything is just to live for self-preservation." After that, I will go with Tang Dou to find Narus, and if I find out that Narus has really betrayed the elves, I will do my best to assist Tang Dou in killing Narus! β
As soon as these words came out, Helios and Snow were stunned.
But when they looked at Krees's serious and serious expression, they seemed to understand something, and they swore an oath with Kreese in the name of the war spirit and the family.
When the three of them ended their oaths, the rune array around them also stopped.
The furious aura was blown away by the normal aura around it, and everything returned to normal.
Kreese glanced at Tang Dou with a complicated expression: "What do you really want?" β
"Live!" Tang Dou said it very simply.
But these three words are always so simple.
"Three, I think you know the location of the 300,000 army, please do what you are supposed to do. In two days, when everything is calm down, I will send someone to bring you food and water!" Three days later, we set out in search of Narius. Well, goodbye! Tang Dou's voice fell, and the person had disappeared.
Duveser Oasis.
The coalition forces have returned to the Duvese Oasis via Avace.
In this battle, more than 2,000 coalition soldiers were killed, more than 2,000 were seriously wounded, and nearly 10,000 were slightly wounded. This loss was neither large nor small for the Al-Sasa coalition forces.
But think about the enemies they faced, think about the damage they had done, and it was definitely a brilliant victory.
Therefore, when Tang Dou appeared in front of the coalition soldiers, the audience cheered.
Everyone knows who brought them this big victory.
Who developed the rune golem? Who made the windmills, airships, and rune cannons? Who stopped the two diamond-level powerhouses?
And who brought the forces of Arsa together to resist this elven invasion?
It's Tang Dou!
Regardless of whether there was a grudge against Tang Dou before, there was kindness, hatred, and feeling.
At this moment, it didn't matter anymore, they cheered Tang Dou's name, and they sang the ballad of Arsa.
Tang Douping raised his hands, and the audience fell silent instantly. Tang Dou's gaze swept over those warriors, most of them were covered in blood and sand, and they looked very embarrassed, but they were so dazzling.
"Warriors! We've won! A simple sentence once again detonated the audience.
Then Tang Dou raised his hand again to quiet the audience: "The war is over, but there are still many things we need to do in the future." I know a lot of people will ask me, why don't you just kill all the remaining 300,000 long ears, they're butchers, they're invaders, they deserve to die! β
Everyone was nodding, but the faces of the few elves behind Tang Dou changed, and a group of elves led by one, two, three, four, five girls looked bitter.
It doesn't matter if they have already created Tang Dou or not, but they are elves after all.
But immediately they looked up again.
Because they heard Tang Dou's next words.
"I would say that I would also like to kill all the invaders, but war is blind, and this war is even more stupid. Many of the elves weren't really butchers, they had just been deceived by Narlius, they just couldn't help themselves. What's more, these 300,000 elves are still an important bargaining chip! β
Tang Dou looked at the quiet crowd below, looked at all the eyes that were looking at him, and smiled slightly: "I have a dream. One day, Arsa will go to a normal place, where the people who live will no longer be vagabonds, no longer exiles, but a group of guys called Arsa! β
"I have a dream! One day, the people of Arsa will no longer be fighting in this desert, and they will no longer have to live a wasted life every day! They have a future, they have hope, they are united, they are upward, they are the same as people anywhere in this world, equal, heroic, united! β
"I have a dream! One day, the Arsians can get rid of the curse of Arsa, they can go out of Arsa, they can go wherever they want, and they can tell the world that the Arsa people are warriors tempered by the wind and sand, not lonely souls poured by despair! β
"I have a dream! One day, when people talk about Arsa, when they mention the Arsa people, they do so with a yearning gaze and a thought of adoration. When the Arsa people stand in front of others, they hold their heads high, they are proud and confident! β
"I have such dreams, very naΓ―ve, very silly, very ethereal. But I know that if I don't do it, then everything will not start, and when I think, do, and fight, then I will definitely be one step closer to my dream! β
Tang Dou finally took a deep breath: "Brothers and sisters of Arsa, warriors and heroes of Arsa. How are you? Do you have the same dreams as I do? Are you willing to follow in my footsteps and let us go through this dream together? β
The audience was silent, there was not a single sound, even breathing stopped, and even the heart was weak.
Tang Dou's face was full of seriousness, but he began to beat a drum in his heart: "Eh, let me go, this set doesn't work?" At least a few people should jump up and support me, right? I was dizzy, I knew that some support would be arranged below! This is a big shame! β
Just when the plagiarist king thought that he was going to capsize in the gutter this time, suddenly, cheers rang out like a landslide and tsunami.
"Long live Nicholas!"
"Long live Arsa!"
Everyone was cheering, and even the elves behind Tang Dou were excited.
Just now, they were either indifferent to Tang Dou's declaration, they were completely too shocked to react for a while.
"Eh, I'm scared, I thought I'm going to get away with it this time!" Tang Dou continued to look serious, but he was greatly relieved in his heart.
"Teacher, for the sake of this dream, I will always follow in your footsteps!" Crowe bowed deeply beside Tang Dou.
Tang Dou looked at Crow before he remembered a big event: "Eh, I'll go, I fooled your father that the Armageddon hasn't started yet, let him retreat in the Nine Shadows City, and now that the battle is over, I'm afraid he doesn't know yet, right?" Do you think he's going to hack me to death if he comes out? β
Crowe twitched his face and covered his face with his hands: "I don't know! β
