|||->-> When Shen Mengting received the letter from Qingse City, her heart really swelled with excitement inexplicably. However, as the stress response wears off, reason gradually takes over.

In fact, the content of the letter is not a good thing, and it does not have any uplifting effect. However, in the current deteriorating environment, it is undoubtedly a small piece of rain on the arid land.

Shen Mengting read the letter carefully, then put it away and strode towards the 'council house'.

Presumably, the generals should have been waiting inside for a long time, Shen Mengting thought so. Earlier, in the middle of the meeting, a soldier came running and reported that it was a letter from Kiyose Castle.

Shen Mengting was really excited about this, so she ran out quickly, wanting to read the content of the letter as soon as possible. Because she knew very well that every subtle piece of information in Qingse City would seriously affect the situation of the military camp here.

At the same time, she also knew that at this time, the only person who sent the letter alone was Lin Mingyuan, the regent.

After meeting with the soldiers who delivered the letters outside the barracks, Shen Mengting directly took the letters. Tearing off the envelope, she read it in its entirety.

The letter itself doesn't have much magic, but its contents are a little worrying.

After reading the letter, Shen Mengting decided that she would go to the council house at a low point, and she felt that the generals should be in a hurry!

In fact, she should have rushed to the council house the moment she received the letter. But curiosity prompted her to open the envelope first, only to see such information.

Striding to the door of the house, Shen Mengting also tried to catch her breath. Then, in less than two or three seconds, she pushed the door straight and entered.

The generals in the room were quite idle at the moment, especially Qian Hao, who was still chatting happily with Shen Jun while drinking tea.

These two living treasures have always been like this, and they almost always exude a relaxed and pleasant temperament.

Shen Mengting's push of the door to enter has already made many people inside reflect. The atmosphere in the room also changed from noisy discussion to sudden silence.

"How's that? What does the letter say?" said Deputy Marshal Ma Liming was the first to get up and ask questions.

This question seems to be extremely important to the generals in the house. Most of them fixed their eyes firmly on Shen Mengting, and they didn't seem to blink.

"The letter says......" Shen Mengting immediately raised the arm that was holding the letter, "Qingse City has officially decided that it will send a regent to the sea to ask for help from the Duchy of Aria!"

The information brought by Shen Mengting seems to have a great positive effect. The moment she finished speaking, many people also let out very relieved gasps, as if they had found some good way to deal with the Sauron Empire.

Shen Mengting was still a little resistant to this atmosphere, so she quickly lowered her arm, and the letter that she pinched in the palm of her hand also made a sound of paper folding.

"What's the matter? Are you excited about this?" Shen Mengting let out a smile that didn't smile.

As her words fell, there was a sound of getting up from her chair. Shen Jun quickly stood up, because the speed at which he got up was so abrupt that even the chair couldn't help but be pushed to the back of the seat.

"How can we not be excited, since we have decided to call for help, it means that we are no longer alone in facing the Sauron Empire. That's a blessing!"

Shen Jun's words have aroused the praise of many people, and Qian Hao is the most exaggerated among them, he also stood up with him, and danced along with him.

Singing something in a tone with a kind of humming music, Qian Hao's arms were constantly waving, "Yes...... Oh, yes...... They have already decided to call for help. Doesn't that mean that...... Are reinforcements coming?lalalala...... Lalalala......"

Qian Hao's excitement was also quickly echoed by Shen Jun, who was also humming and dancing exaggeratedly.

But after a few seconds, they no longer dared to be presumptuous. Because they saw Shen Mengting with a straight face, this woman still looked like she was glaring and about to hit someone.

After Qian Hao stopped dancing, he coughed lightly several times, "Ah...... Don't jump...... Don't jump anymore......"

Now that Qian Hao has stopped, Shen Jun has no reason to continue. He blinked blankly a few times before choosing to sit down again. However, the chair he had made had already been pushed to the back position, so that he couldn't find the north at the moment.

"Jump! What's wrong with you two? Didn't you dance happily just now? Why don't you jump now?" Shen Mengting's eyes were extremely empty, and her mouth was revealing a bloody breath, as if she was going to eat people.

Qian Hao and Shen Jun didn't dare to respond to anything, they just shrunk their necks and stood up straight.

Seeing this, Shen Mengting was no longer ready to say anything, she immediately glanced at everyone, including the inconspicuous Zhao Yu.

"Have you all forgotten what I said?" she said, holding up the letter in her hand again and shaking it quickly, "not to mention whether the Duchy of Elijah will definitely send troops to our aid, and even if they do decide to send troops, they will have to go through many cumbersome procedures to approve it. But there's one thing I hope you'll never forget...... That is, no matter what the situation, be prepared that we might fight Sauron alone, you know?"

Shen Mengting's tone was still quite serious, so much so that most people began to bow their heads and become silent.

"Hmm, what's wrong, don't you understand? I ask you a question, you don't understand?" Shen Mengting raised her two sword eyebrows.

Qian Hao and Shen Jun hurriedly waved their hands fiercely at the same time. The voices of the two almost overlapped, almost like one person said, "Ahh

Shen Mengting glanced at the two of them angrily, and then spat out from the bottom of her heart, "It's good to understand! So don't hear about any foreign countries coming to help in the future, as if we won the battle with the Sauron Empire." The time to cheer should be the moment when the Sauron Empire completely gave up attacking Saran!" Her raised hand began to slowly lower, but her eyes were still stubborn.

Suddenly, the room became silent again, and no one dared to stand up and tell Shen Mengting anything.

When Shen Mengting saw such a scene, she also took a few breaths of relaxation. To be honest, she never wanted to be a marshal that her subordinates were afraid of. She hopes to be the kind of leader who is serious in a formal place, but behind the scenes she mingles with her subordinates.

So, she tried to make the topic easier, "Of course, no matter what, if there is foreign assistance, and it is at the level of the Principality of Aria, it is better than being alone." So, it is indeed the right thing to be rightly happy. ”

Everyone understood that Shen Mengting had changed her words, and she relaxed her body.

"That...... Marshal Shen!" Ma Liming asked at this moment, and his body also stood up, "What else is written on that letter? Is it just a mention of going to the Principality of Elia to seek assistance?"

Shen Mengting frowned slightly, in case she made a mistake, she still took the letter to her eyes. Re-reading it, her expression was developing in a relaxed direction, "Mmmm! That's it. The above also specifically mentioned the time, that is, on the day of January 15, which was decided by the joint vote of the four major regents, officially abandoning the non-aligned [river crab] policy, and sending the regent Zhu Hongxin to personally go to the Principality of Aria on the other side of the sea to ask for help. ”

"Oh!

Ma Liming seemed to be thinking about something, which quickly attracted Shen Mengting's attention. She wondered what the deputy marshal was thinking? Could it be that he was combing through information about Kiyose Castle?

Shen Mengting herself also lost her mind, her mind was full of palaces, and the four regent finally made up their minds in pain to seek help from a foreign race other than humans, that is, the elven race.

After Ma Liming moved his eyes up and down, he then looked at Shen Mengting with a meaningful gaze, "But Marshal Shen! This time the matter of deciding to go to the Principality of Aria for help is progressing really fast! I thought I would have to wait for another time!"

"Now that the situation has deteriorated to such a point, how can we wait?" General Wang Bin next to him shook his head slightly. Judging from his embarrassed expression, he was a little desperate at the moment, "Presumably, several regent regents are also people who can recognize the facts, otherwise they wouldn't be such big officials." ”

"Well, you're right. It's just that I think it's kind of weird. Ma Liming put one hand on his chin, like a detective solving a case.

"What does Marshal Ma find strange?" asked Shen Mengting.

Ma Liming didn't answer immediately, he just stared at Shen Mengting for a long time, and kept blinking his eyes dryly, "This ......" He has a sense that he can't find an entry point, judging from his determined expression, he must have something to say.

"Marshal Ma, what's wrong with you?" Shen Mengting asked tentatively. She probably guessed what the other party was going to say, so she took the first step to make a reminder, "Isn't there any significance to the candidates sent to the Principality of Aria?"

Ma Liming instantly showed a sudden look, and he screamed several times.

"What's the matter? Deputy Marshal Ma?" this made Wang Bin next to him surprised.

"I've always thought it was weird! But I just couldn't find anything weird. But after Marshal Shen spoke just now, I was also able to open my mouth. Ma Liming kept hitting his face with his hand, "Of the four regents, three of them are actually compromisers, right?"

"Oh! yes, what's wrong?" Shen Mengting scratched the position under her ear, and even lifted the few strands of hair that had fallen.

"Well, that's what I'm going to propose! The three of them are all compromisers, how could they pass a policy against the Sauron Empire?"

"Vice-marshal, didn't I just tell you? The regents are sensible men, and they know what is best for the country. Now that the Sauron Empire is ready to lay a dead hand on us, there is no point in compromising for fear. That's why I decided to turn to the Duchy of Aria for help. General Wang Bin was right.

"Oh, yes, yes, that's true. It's just that...... I know there's no need to talk about Kiyose Castle, but...... I remember that the regent who always wanted to unite the elven clan of the Principality of Elia was Lin Mingyuan, right? But why didn't you send him this time, but sent another regent of Zhu Hongxin, who kept proposing compromises on weekdays?"

Ma Liming's questioning made Wang Bin completely freeze, and he could no longer express his inner thoughts in a narrative manner.

In the end, it was Shen Mengting, and it was up to her to explain to everyone, "That's because the regent of Zhu Hongxin has a wealth of contacts in foreign countries, especially in dealing with the elves. I believe that sending him to the Duchy of Elia is also the best decision. No matter how much of a compromise he had, he would certainly be able to secure aid for the country now. ”

"Well, that's exactly what it should be. I have also heard my father say that the regent Zhu Hongxin is the most experienced in negotiations with other countries. This is also the reason why he can be the four major regents of the country. Jiang Jingwen muttered slowly.

"Yes! In the past, he also negotiated any trade agreements between our country of Salan and other countries. Because of this, he was the best person to go to Elia this time. During Shen Mengting's speech, her eyes narrowed sharply from time to time.

To be honest, although she hated the other three regent except Lin Mingyuan extremely much. But in terms of their abilities, they still have a top-notch side. Therefore, Shen Mengting would definitely not worry about whether the people sent by Qingse City would mess up things.

In fact, what she was worried about was......

Shen Mengting quickly confided, "I believe that Regent Zhu Hongxin has the ability to bring assistance to the country. However, ......after bowing her head and thinking for a few seconds, she put forward her own thoughts, "It should not be the people sent by our country who will play a decisive role in whether or not we can receive assistance. It should be because of the attitude of the officials on the side of the Duchy of Aria, they are the main factor. ”

Everyone seemed to be a little unable to understand the specific meaning of Shen Mengting, so they raised doubts one after another,

Seeing this, Shen Mengting also explained in a more detailed language, "Now that our country has sent people over, the final decision will be made on the elven clan on the side of the Principality of Aria. Whether or not to send troops to aid and have friction with the Sauron Empire depends on the leadership over there. But I still always believe that the elves of Elia will send troops. ”

was told by Shen Mengting like this, and most people's expressions instantly changed from frustration to excitement.

"Oh, why, are you so sure that the elves will fight against the most powerful Sauron Empire in the world for us?" Shen Jun asked uneasily.

"I'm not sure, but I can put myself in the shoes of the elves and determine that the Duchy of Elia will send troops. Even if they are not willing to spend much on losses, at least they will not watch the Sauron Empire swallow up our Saran. ”

"Well, Marshal Shen is quite reasonable. Those elves are actually quite cunning, and they will never go against the Sauron Empire for our sake. But...... The elves of Elia will not let the Sauron Empire come to their senses. Approaching, they also want to prevent the Sauron Empire from continuing to be strong. ”

"That's my core idea. I think that even if Elia refuses to do anything, from their own point of view, if they don't save us Saran, the Sauron Empire will threaten them in the future. So I still think that the elves of the Principality of Elia have a great chance of sending troops to help us. ”

Everyone began to nod, even Zhao Yu, who had never heard what everyone was talking about. In fact, some of Shen Mengting's remarks, Zhao Yu had also learned from his good friends in Vortex Town.

However, at present, Zhao Yu really does not understand how the relationship between countries can be so complicated, and why if the Principality of Aria does not help Saran, it will threaten its own security in the future?

There are too many things that I don't understand, and Zhao Yu is starting to scratch his head wildly.

"So, judging from the current situation, it doesn't seem to be that bad! at least...... A lot of things are also going for the better. Ma Liming folded his arms again, which has also become his signature move.

"It's not that bad in the first place, and the situation is even developing in our favor!" Shen Mengting began to walk, she deliberately walked to the center of the room, which also highlighted her position as a leader, "Of course, this kind of favorable development does not refer to whether the relevant foreign clans are aiding or not, but our own efforts. With that, she put one hand on her [River Crab] chest.

"What does the marshal mean?"

"Now that all of our guard towers on the border have been completed, there are soldiers guarding them in turn. Judging from the movements of the past few days, there is no sign that Sauron is going to invade. So...... I think this plan has succeeded, I think the Sauron Empire must be thinking hard about how to choose the point to invade our land now, right?" Shen Mengting had already let out a smug smile.

"Oh! After the last Sauron attack...... It's been half a month, but the enemy's latest attack has not arrived, and there is no movement in the military camp stationed on the other side of the border, which is really ......" Ma Liming began to shake his head, as if he didn't know how to describe the matter.

"There's nothing to say, our previous defense must have shocked that group of Sauron soldiers. So we need to continue to work hard now. You have to know a fact...... "Shen Mengting paused for a few seconds before releasing a sentence that seemed to be a wise saying, "The longer the war drags on, the better it will be for us!"
