The meeting lasted for three hours, and the generals generally agreed with Rudy that Cardin had assembled an army in the Daedric Castle and was waiting for the humans to jump into the trap. But how to break this trap, everyone has no good solution.

The solution is not nothing, just retreat, but no one dares to propose - the family supports the whole country, sends the most elite troops, and the people of the whole country tighten their belts to export grain to supply the expeditionary force, from the senate to the lowest level of civilians are waiting for the expeditionary force to avenge the Seneans. The result? I couldn't even see the walls of the Demon God Castle, and the expeditionary force was frightened by a few half-human and half-beast monsters and ran back, how could they explain to the countrymen?

"Your Excellency, Commanders." Fang Yunhongyi, who had just joined the Zichuan Xiu Group, coughed: "Ladies and gentlemen, your official rank and position are higher than mine, and there are some things that you may not be able to speak, so let me say it." ”

The round-faced officer with a smile looked around: "If our army is stubbornly sniped by the Senea tribe, after a hard battle, we also have a lot of casualties after killing and wounding a large number of Senea troops, and we have to retreat, no one has any reason to blame us, the people will give the returning soldiers flowers and beauties to welcome us, and the military affairs office and the senate will also understand our situation, if we are lucky, we can still get a medal."

But now, our army is in good condition, well-armed, and has sufficient food supplies. Of the four major tribes of the kingdom, one is our allies and the other is defeated by us, the Mongols remain neutral at best, and the only enemies are the Seneans. We simply have no reason to retreat. ”

"What about the barbarians?"

"From the mouths of His Majesty Gotha Khan and, uh, this Rudi general, we know the horror of the barbarians. But the country doesn't know, they only know that we were scared away by a pack of wild beasts. Fang Yun spread his hands: "If you go back like this, I don't know what will happen to you, anyway, I won't be very good." ”

Wen He, Wu Bin and several other generals who were transferred from the mainland to the expeditionary force exchanged glances, and they all looked sad. They are all high-ranking officers of the Zichuan family, and they know a little bit about the inside story. This expedition not only has the purpose of revenge against the demons, but Zichuan Sanxing also hopes to take advantage of the exploits of the demons in the government to take the opportunity to become emperor. If the expeditionary force returned like this, the huge investment of the family for the expedition would be wasted, and the plan of the chief to become the emperor would be frustrated. Zichuan Shenxing is definitely going to be thunderous.

Zichuan Xiu has a heavy army in the Far East, and he is not afraid of the sound of the cane when the chief commander knocks his crutches in the imperial capital; The generals of the Far East Army, such as Bai Chuan, Luo Jie, Lin Bing and others, will be fine if they are protected by Zichuan Xiu. The only unlucky ones are their group of generals from the mainland. In a fit of rage, the commander-in-chief was furious, and not only did they have no hope for the future, but they also had to be tried for the crime of "fearing the enemy like a tiger and falling into the power of the army," and they were afraid that they would not even be able to save their lives.

Zi Chuanxiu nodded, and asked again, "Who else has an opinion?" ”

He asked twice in a row, but there was only silence in response.

Zi Chuanxiu looked at the generals one by one, and the generals also looked at him one by one, and everyone stared at him for half a minute. Zi Chuanxiu suddenly understood their difficulties: he proposed to retreat, and he would be beaten by the chief when he went back; But if the expeditionary force is defeated in the future, the proposer will definitely not have good fruit to eat. So, everyone was smart enough to keep silent.

So, Zi Chuanxiu knew that from this group of brutes with shiny epaulettes on their shoulders, he couldn't think of any opinions - of course, Roger was an exception, but this guy's intelligence was comparable to that of a fierce wolf, and his opinion could not be used as a reference.

"Adjournment!" Zi Chuanxiu waved his hand in disappointment: "Lord Lin Bing, please stay." ”

At the end of the meeting, the generals left the conference room one after another, and Lin Bing stayed according to Zi Chuanxiu's instructions. Zi Chuanxiu personally poured tea for Lin Bing. The two of them looked at each other silently with steaming cups, their faces looming in the rising mist.

"Chief Lin, I have always admired your foresight. I still remember that after defeating the Gusta Legion, you gave me valuable advice and guided the Far Eastern Army - no, should I say the entire Zichuan family, defeated the demons and saved human civilization. Now, again, we have a problem. I hope you will once again give me a golden gift and lead us out of this difficult situation, as you did that night. You don't have to have any scruples, it's just you and me, and no one is recording it. You are only responsible for putting forward your opinion, whether you adopt it or not, that is my responsibility. ”

Lin Bing smiled: "My lord, do you think that I didn't speak today because I was afraid of taking responsibility?" ”

Zi Chuanxiu didn't make a sound, just stared at Lin Bing with bright eyes.

Lin Bing shook his head and smiled: "Actually, I don't have as much thought as Fang Yun, but I haven't figured out some problems myself, of course, it's not good to speak out and affect you." "You didn't figure it out?"

"Yes. Cardin's movements were unnatural, and although Rudy explained, I don't think it was enough to explain Cardin's crazy moves. In fact, the situation is not as bad as you think, my army is in a dilemma, but the Senea are in a desperate situation. ”

"How so?"

"Our army will retreat if it is a big deal, although Cardin will defend the Demon God Castle, but the vast territory and countless subjects outside the Demon God Castle will all be thrown to the barbarians as a snack? After our army is gone, how will she clean up this mess? There should be some reason that we don't know. ”

Listening to Lin Bing's words, Zichuan Xiu suddenly felt enlightened. He always felt a little out of place when we were discussing it today. Now, the vague doubts in his heart were clearly said by Lin Bing.

"Makes sense. But I'm still strange, Lu Di doesn't have that insight, I'm not surprised; But Gotha Khan is familiar with the situation in the kingdom and should be able to see why he didn't say anything. ”

"My lord, Gota Khan's position is not the same as ours. He should be the one who is most worried about our sudden withdrawal now. He has reservations. Not surprising. ”

"Why?"

"Your Excellency. You should think of it, in order to fight for the future throne. Gotha Khan has made a bloody investment. He is the Duke of the Kingdom, but he is fully committed to cooperating with the human invading army, which is a huge gamble that will ruin him and the Goon, and the gamble is that you can successfully destroy the Senea and support the Goon to the throne.

If you see that the situation is not good, you will leave, but what will happen to the Goang? Betraying the demons and cooperating with humans. He even wanted to seek the golden position, which was enough to make the Goang clan the object of hatred of the demon tribes. As long as your army retreats, the Goon will definitely be attacked by the hordes of all tribes. If the Seneans are not exterminated, the Goons will no longer be able to gain a foothold in the kingdom! So, what Gotha Khan fears most is that you withdraw your troops and leave. How dare he speak out? He can't wait to take back all the barbarian information that he has revealed to us before, for fear of scaring us away! ”

Zi Chuanxiu was stunned, clapped his hands and smiled: "No wonder, Gota Khan didn't open his mouth today!" Sir Lin, you still see it more thoroughly! ”

Lin Bingyan smiled and took a sip of tea: "My lord, after all, we have taken the initiative. You know, Cardin is a hundred times worse than us! When the situation is uncertain, it is advisable to have static braking. ”

According to Lin Bing's proposal, the expeditionary force stopped advancing. On the border between the Yakun and Seneans, a small town called "Vaensta" was stationed.

Vahnstad is a small town with a population of less than 100,000 and its inhabitants are mainly made up of the Yakun and Senean ethnic groups. Since almost half of the inhabitants were Seneans, the inhabitants of Vahnstad were particularly hostile to the expeditionary force than the towns they had passed through.

Of course, it is estimated that the expeditionary force will have a sabre and strong armor. The demon natives also did not have the courage to launch a large-scale riot to resist the occupation army, but they also did not give humans a good look, and from time to time some demon children threw stones at the expeditionary force patrols from the streets and alleys, and there were often reports that the expeditionary soldiers were beaten to death by sticks in which alley.

There are more such reports, and Zichuan Xiu and the generals are tired of it. The two sides did not understand each other in language and had different customs, but the local residents did not cooperate, so it was impossible to track down the murderer. In the end, Zi Chuanxiu simply ordered: "Since they don't want to get along with us, then we don't need to force it!" Drive all the demon natives out of Vahnstad! ”

Overnight, those crying demon natives were driven out of the city, and no demons were seen on the street, and everyone suddenly felt that the world was pure and open-minded. Too lazy to care about the demon natives crying and crying around the city, Zi Chuanxiu just ordered the city gate to be closed, not a single demon natives were allowed to come in, and let them talk to the barbarians in the wild!

Seeing that the human army had a tendency to be stationed in Vahnstad for a long time, Yagomi couldn't sit still. He longed for these plague gods to leave his territory as soon as possible, no matter how the human race won or lost the battle with the Senea tribe, as long as it didn't involve the Yakun tribe. But looking at Shikawa Xiu's posture, he really wants to run Valsta into a garrison fortress.

This group of plague gods actually wants to rely on it and not leave!

If you can beat it, you can fight, and if you can't beat it, you can reason, this is a truth that is universally applicable everywhere, regardless of human beings or demons. Now that the expeditionary force is strong and strong, the Yakun clan cannot win, and the only thing Yagomi has to hope for is that Zichuan Xiu can be reasonable and abide by the contract, after all, he has taught three million taels of gold protection money.

Yagomi sent an emissary to negotiate with the expeditionary force, but received only some vague reply: "In view of the current situation in the kingdom, our army feels it necessary to garrison Valstad. However, due to the unfriendly attitude of the local indigenous people towards our army, our army had to make some regrettable moves. ”

"But we have a covenant, and we have taught three million taels of gold!"

"Of course, we are glad to tell the Honorable Patriarch that, taking into account the friendly relations between the expeditionary force and the Yakun people, our army's purge operation was very civilized and restrained, and the number of natives who died in the operation was very small, less than a thousand. Even fewer were injured. We've wiped out 100,000 natives, and less than 10,000 have had their thighs and ribs broken, which is a remarkable achievement, and Lord Argomi doesn't need to thank us! ”

Zichuan Xiu's words are strong, and Yagomi is so depressed that he wants to vomit blood. The only protest he could do was to make a little scarecrow with the name of Shikawa Xiu, swear with iron nails to the tree day and night, and call his subordinates to help him scold when he was tired of scolding—and that's all. He wanted to run and point at Zichuan Xiu in front of him and scold, but he didn't have the courage to do so.

Yagomi's cursing outside the horizon is something that Shikawa Shu can't hear. He wasn't even interested in looking at that defeated general, and his attention was now focused on the direction of the Demon God Castle, which was his fateful enemy.

For Cardin, Shikawa Shu thinks he is familiar. When they lived in Zi Chuanning's home, the two got along day and night, and Zi Chuanxiu's impression of her was: a smart, kind and beautiful girl, with a lot of attainments in the field of art, pampered, in short, a vase.

Despite Sterling's obsession with Cardin, Shikawa Shu always felt unimpressed: "Why bother? Isn't it just a girl? And that time in the Yulin Army camp Cardin helped Zi Chuanxiu escape, in addition to gratitude, Zi Chuanxiu had another impression of Kadan: "She is still quite a friendly person and misses the old time." ”

Now, the girl who was as delicate as a lily with dewdrops, the kind, friendly and nostalgic person, actually did a big move that did not hesitate to let half of the kingdom ruin the lives of the people and let the barbarians enter the country, which made Zi Chuanxiu have to sigh: "It's really terrible, people are forced into a desperate situation, and they can really do anything." ”
