Chapter 12: Treated like a monster
When Shen Mengting released the words that the meeting was over, her face was obviously tired. It can be seen that she is very helpless, but the current situation does not allow her, the marshal, to show a little cowardice.
Zhao Yu saw it clearly beside him, and he wanted to step forward to comfort something. However, he has always been timid about the opposite sex, so he naturally didn't dare to take the initiative to tell a woman anything in front of so many people.
Therefore, he could only give up and prepare to leave. The staff in his hand was like a walking stick, and he used it to support him as he walked out the door.
"Sister Mengting, are you okay? Look at how tired you look!" Jiang Jingwen has been surrounding Shen Mengting.
Presumably, this doctor must be able to properly cure Shen Mengting's exhaustion! Then Zhao Yu doesn't have to worry about anything. With this in mind, he quickened the distance outside the door.
After more than half an hour of meetings, there was still no result. No one has been able to find a proper answer. It seemed that when faced with an equal number of Sauron's soldiers and horses, it meant that Saran had been defeated.
So in desperation, Shen Mengting didn't plan to waste any more time. She immediately declared the meeting closed, leaving the policy of resistance to aggression to be discussed at a later date.
So, everyone prepared to leave the room here.
"Hey, I always think ah! Your livestock has been a little strange lately!" As soon as he stepped forward, Shen Jun said something to Qian Hao next to him.
To be honest, this sentence is not very friendly, but Qian Hao does not feel inappropriate at all. He was also in a relaxed manner, pacing towards the door.
Qian Hao didn't respond to anything, he just walked forward with his head down.
"Hey, I'm talking to you!Are you deaf dog?" Shen Jun immediately stepped forward and rushed at his back, marking 'heavy knock'.
But even at this moment, Qian Hao is still lazy. He turned his head and replied with the word 'cut', which was a long list of conflicting words, "What are you doing! What a strange thing, you have too much heart." And don't forget, we're at war! You should focus on how to meet the enemy!"
Shen Jun took a deep breath after hearing this, and he looked at Qian Hao with an incredible gaze, "Oops......! I really didn't expect it! Our Qian Hao would be so serious about doing something!"
"What are you talking about! I've always been a very serious person, okay!" Qian Hao raised his arm exaggeratedly, and kept pounding his thumb to his chest.
This action shocked Shen Jun even more, and he even made a quick move to move away and keep a distance from Qian Hao at the right time.
But not long after that, the two of them got back together. After Shen Jun and Qian Hao met, they seemed to become a whole. The two will often laugh and play, showing the flamboyance of young people.
Looking at the backs of the two people walking towards the door, Zhao Yu lowered his head and took a deep breath. He wondered when he would meet his former friends, and the answer was that it would be a long, long time, at least until the war was over.
It's just that he doesn't know if he will survive the war.
I didn't want to think too much about sad things, so Zhao Yu also looked around the house. Ever since he set foot in the barracks, he has been fascinated by many novelties, such as 'world maps' and 'environmental simulation thumbnails'.
He wondered if he would stay in this room after the meeting was dismissed and see the novelties in the barracks.
As he pondered, he didn't pay attention to what lay ahead. Until a large shadow came in, he quickly made it from his imagination, but did not stop stepping forward.
As if it was a feeling of hitting the wall in front of him, Zhao Yu's body was bounced away and backwards a lot.
He just hit Qian Hao's back in front of him, causing the other party to take a few steps forward unsteadily. It's just that Qian Hao's sense of balance has always been among the best, that is, he was able to stabilize his body by quickly holding on to the door.
didn't fall into a dog eating, Qian Hao is still more lucky. But he then turned around, as if to mean that he was going to settle accounts with the man who had hit him earlier.
After Zhao Yu finally stabilized his body, he immediately apologized to Qian Hao in front of him, "Ah! Qian Hao! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" One of his free hands was still swinging, and it was already showing a blurry ghost.
Qian Hao still seemed a little angry, and his eyes widened. But suddenly, he seemed to have seen something terrible, and the moment he made contact with Zhao Yu, this person was in a trance-like deep breath action.
Shen Jun next to him was also exaggerated, he immediately grabbed Qian Hao's arm and kept shaking his head at it.
Zhao Yu saw the strange behavior of these two people, and he didn't know what to do for a while. He simply tilted his head, and continued to meet the strange eyes of the two people opposite him in shock, "Ah...... How...... What's wrong?"
Qian Hao seemed to want to say something, but the moment his lips moved, he suddenly stopped again.
For a moment, Zhao Yu felt that this person was not Qian Hao. Because Qian Hao has always been a straightforward person, not the kind of soft guy who will hesitate to say or not to say anything.
"You ......"
"Ahh......h You...... Other...... Don't come here! Don't come here!" Qian Hao put his hand in front of him, and he looked very flustered.
"Hey!" Shen Jun also went from just holding Qian Hao's arm to directly blocking in front of him. He leaned firmly close to Qian Hao, as if he was still whispering something. Probably in order not to let Zhao Yu in the back judge the specific content of his speech from the shape of his mouth, Shen Jun also deliberately had the feeling of sticking his mouth to Qian Hao's shoulder.
Zhao Yu was even more confused, he really wanted to step forward and ask what was going on?
Qian Hao listened quite seriously, and after nodding slightly, he glanced at Zhao Yu again. At the same time, Shen Jun also turned his head and also locked his eyes on Zhao Yu.
Zhao Yu seemed to feel that he was being treated as a monster, and his whole body began to tremble.
"Gone!"
This was the first thing Zhao Yu heard his companion say, but in the moment after that, Shen Jun beckoned Qian Hao to leave quickly.
So, the two of them went away for a long time, and they didn't even look back.
Zhao Yu was still in the distance, he looked at all the scenes that had happened before, and he didn't even blink his eyes anymore.
"This ...... What the hell is going on?" he asked himself, with his mouth moving.
Shen Mengting took into account all the scenes experienced by Zhao Yu and his companions. She knew very well the reason why Qian Hao and Shen Jun were so flustered, and she could also understand the two of them who chose to run away regardless of the friendship of their companions. However, the degree of exaggeration that they have done is really a bit excessive.
Now Shen Mengting really wants to help Zhao Yu with something, which is also something she decided to do earlier. However, because the regent Lin Mingyuan was on the side, she lost the reason to go elsewhere.
"Mengting, I believe you can succeed!" Lin Mingyuan was still beside him with a direct expression of encouragement.
"Well, thank you uncle for the compliment, I will also work hard!" Shen Mengting let out a forced pouting and laughing.
But it was at this time that Zhao Yu, who was walking with his head down, left the room. After he walked out of the gate, he should have walked down the road to the left.
On the left was the room for the general, and it seemed that he just wanted to go back and rest.
"Alas!" Shen Mengting unconsciously sighed.
"Hmm, what's wrong? Mengting, do you have anything on your mind?"
Shen Mengting realized her gaffe, and immediately regained her straightened body, "Ahhh
However, Uncle Lin Mingyuan actually raised his pace at this moment, it seems that he wants to chat with Shen Mengting for a while today.
Shen Mengting couldn't shirk anything, she could only slow down and wait for the elder to talk. It happened that at this moment, I heard the shouts of Jiang Jingwen and Ma Liming.
"Sister Mengting, then I'll go first!"
"Marshal Shen! It's better to rest first! You haven't rested much since yesterday's sneak attack! If your body collapses, then how can you lead the army!"
The two were constantly talking, and Shen Mengting nodded at them, watching them leave the room.
Now, only Shen Mengting and Lin Mingyuan are left in the room.
Shen Mengting's pace was still so slow, until even the old-timers next to her surpassed her.
She knew if Lin Mingyuan had anything to say to her in private, so her eyes were firmly fixed on the face of the regent.
Sure enough, when he walked to the gate, Lin Mingyuan did not step out, but turned around. His expression was already a little serious, and he looked like he was going to talk about something important.
"Uncle ......"
"Mengting! Actually, I wanted to ask you directly before. However, because there were other people here, I didn't want to affect the morale of the army, so I waited for them to leave before I came to ask!"
Shen Mengting subconsciously shrunk her neck, "Uncle, if you have any questions, just ask!"
"Mengting!" Lin Mingyuan walked directly in front of Shen Mengting, and the two were about half a meter apart, "About this war...... What are your odds of winning?"
This question is actually very heart-wrenching, in fact, Shen Mengting was thinking about the answer a long time ago.
What are the odds of winning this war, and what are the chances of Saran winning?
The Sauron Empire was the premier super-state of Cellos, with an army of millions and a large number of famous generals at the time. In the face of such a super strong country, Shen Mengting has no way out, and she can't answer with the word 'can'. Even, even a little reassurance against her will, she couldn't do it.
gradually lowered her head, and Shen Mengting didn't say a word. However, her meaning has already been clearly laid out on her face, and Lin Mingyuan is also very clear about this.
"Ahh
"There must be a chance of victory, otherwise I wouldn't have chosen to resist to the end. It's just ......" Shen Mengting didn't release the next words, and her chin almost touched her chest because she lowered her head.
"Just because the enemy is too strong!"
Lin Mingyuan's words made Shen Mengting raise her head suddenly, "Ahhhh
"Mengting, don't be here anymore, let's talk as you go!"
Under Lin Mingyuan's telling, the two also stepped out of the door.
Leaving the [River Crab] government room just now, the fresh air really made the mood a lot happier, and Shen Mengting also took a big breath for the first time today.
There were other soldiers working around, but now Shen Mengting didn't want to communicate anything with them.
"Mengting!" Lin Mingyuan Regent spoke again, he also raised his head slightly, his gaze seemed to freeze on the blue sky above, "The Sauron Empire is really a very powerful country!"
Shen Mengting's ears were a little pricked up, mainly because the remarks she heard were too harsh, "Well, I've heard of the terrible of this country before! And after coming into contact with them on the battlefield this time, I realized that they are not as simple as being terrible." Their army and soldiers are like they're coming from hell!"
It's been so many days, but as long as Shen Mengting thinks of fighting with the generalissimo Lian Yunpo opposite, she will break out in a cold sweat.
"Oh, from hell!" Lin Mingyuan's gaze towards the sky continued, and the situation gradually moved closer to the direction of nothingness, "Your metaphor ......"
"Anyway, uncle, I'll do my best to win. I won't be afraid to compromise or anything just because the enemy is strong!" Shen Mengting's tone was still relatively tough, which was exactly what she had always been convinced of.
"Okay!Mengting! You have the momentum of what you said in this sentence, you really have the momentum of your father back then!" When Lin Mingyuan stopped looking at the sky, his gaze fell on Shen Mengting again, "It's not like those compromisers, who want to betray the national interests of [River Crab] and surrender when they encounter difficulties!"
"Hmph, uncle, don't compare me with this group of people, that's simply insulting me!" Shen Mengting's tone was full of disdain, and her mouth was completely crooked.
"Well, I'm sorry! Mengting! I'm actually comparing them to you! I'm really sorry! But for these compromisers! Uncle really doesn't know what to say about them, they actually think that if they make some timely compromise, the Sauron Empire will let us go!"
"Yes, this country dreams of annexing all human countries, how can it be possible to let us humans be a yard! Therefore, if you have illusions about the Sauron Empire, you can simply be regarded as a national thief!"
"Mengting! You're right! They never gave up on annexing us. If there is anyone who can make peace with Sauron, it can only be described as a fool!"
In Lin Mingyuan's words, Shen Mengting seemed to notice something. So she said in a "hmm" tone, "What's the matter, uncle, do you know something?"
Lin Mingyuan's gaze was slightly sharp, and he also seemed to be picking up his pace. When Shen Mengting realized this, she found that she was already a little behind. She had no choice but to speed up the frequency of her movements, and she followed in the footsteps of Uncle Lin Mingyuan.
Lin Mingyuan had a sense of avoiding Shen Mengting's gaze. However, his mouth was not ambiguous at all, "Mengting! I didn't mean to fill you......! Earlier, it was probably yesterday evening! I received a letter from the Celestial Empire in the city of the Rising Sun, saying that their king had passed a resolution!"
"What resolution?"
Lin Mingyuan glanced at Shen Mengting quickly, the specific time may not even be a second, "Their king said that he officially notified the whole country of the decision to start a war against the Saran Kingdom!"
After hearing this, Shen Mengting had some difficulty breathing for a while. However, this dilemma lasted for a while, and she resumed her usual smooth breathing.
"Oh, is that so?" After about four or five seconds, she looked the same as usual, "Looks like they don't plan to disguise anymore!
"Well! Yes! In the past, they had to act as if they had to do something under the pretext of uniting humanity! And now, they have even torn off their disguises! I'm honestly worried about that!"
"Worried? Why? Uncle? Isn't it just right for the Sauron Empire to tear off its camouflage mask and slap those compromisers in the face?
If the Sauron Empire continues to be hypocritical as always, then their offensive will not be too fierce, and most of them will only make some superficial local attacks! But now that the king has spoken, I guess they will not just send tens of thousands of troops. ”
"Hmph! It doesn't matter how many they send! If they want to attack us with all their might, we can only defend like this! In short, I will try to win!"
"Mengting, it's good that you have this kind of attitude, I will definitely give you unconditional support!" After saying that, Lin Mingyuan suddenly stopped.
Shen Mengting naturally followed, so she could only stop, she also turned around and faced Lin Mingyuan, "Then I want to thank my uncle for his support!"
"Thank you, you don't have to, it's as it should be! Uncle still wants to tell you an elder. We are very different from the Sauron Empire, so when you face them in the future, remember not to fight them impulsively, you know?"
Shen Mengting was carefully speculating on the meaning of what she heard, and after she quickly rolled her eyes in her orbit, she also nodded, "Well! I know! Thank you uncle for the reminder!"
"Well, then I'm fine! Alas! Mengting! Do you think I've been talking a little too much lately! You're a marshal in the army! What else do you need me to mention? Alas! I've talked a lot today!" Lin Mingyuan began to pat his head.
"No, uncle, I'll do what you say!"
"Ahhh......h You should go and rest first! Only when you have enough physical strength can you deal with the enemy!"
Shen Mengting pursed her lips and accepted sincerely, "Well, Uncle is right! Then I'll go to rest!"
After nodding to each other again, Shen Mengting walked towards her marshal's shack.
During the walking pace, she could feel the sight of Uncle Lin Mingyuan from the rear. Still, she didn't want to look back.
One thought was swirling in her head right now: the king of the Sauron Empire had nodded his head and approved the decision to attack Saran.
That means that the war between the Saran Kingdom and the Sauron Empire has officially begun!
