Chapter 48 Negotiation and substitution
During the Ottoman earthquake, the city of [Thoth] was in ruins, and Glens was still alive when he was dug out of the ruins by the Torristins because of his quick escape and the escort of his own soldiers. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Based on his guards, the soldiers assumed that he might be a man of identity and rescued him. Then he reported to Haotian.
When Haotian arrived at the tent where Glens was being held, he had already changed his clothes and sat there calmly.
"Tell me, what is your identity?"
Haotian asked.
Glens looked up at Haotian a few times, and actually smiled.
"Haotian, the fiancé of the third daughter of the Variel family, and the lover of Queen Anrietta, what is your status in the coalition? Ottoman conductor or you command? ”
Haotian squinted at him for 2 seconds, then winked at the soldiers around him.
The soldiers around Glens immediately beat him, leaving Glens speechless in pain.
For about two minutes, Haotian waved his hand. The soldiers stopped beating Glens.
"You see, you are a captive. You can only answer my questions, and you don't have the right to ask questions. ”
"Ahem, huh?" Glens looked up and smiled.
"What if I say that Duke Variel is not dead?"
Haotian's expression turned cold and stared at him.
"The Duke in your hands?"
"Anyway, let me loosen the rope first, and then bring in some food and drink. Let's talk slowly. ”
Glens felt like he had some chips.
Haotian chuckled, "Do as he says, bring me a dinner too." ”
The soldier untied the rope for him, left the tent and brought back food, leaving Haotian and Glens behind.
Glens began to eat slowly.
Haotian sat across from him and began to eat as well. The portion is three times more than that of Glens.
"You're the commander of the Golia Advance Army, aren't you?"
"Well, almost. I am the captain of his own army, and I know where he is to keep the Duke of Wariel. ”
"Yes. You take me to the duke, and I'll let you go." One life for one life makes sense, right? ”
"Hey, how can that compare. Duke Wariel is your father-in-law, and I'm just a little soldier. You should add something to it. ”
"Life is the most expensive thing that only your own, right?"
"You're too picky."
"There are quite a few captured soldiers, and perhaps someone else knows the Duke's location."
"You-well, I'll take you to the place where the Duke is being held. But how can you promise to leave me going? ”
"You're just a little soldier, do you need to embarrass you?"
"You can't say that, after all, your life is the most precious."
"Hehe, I'll take you there alone. When I see the Duke, I'll let you go. If you don't agree, I'll have to ask the others. ”
"Okay, I promised you."
"Hurry up and eat, and we'll leave later."
"What an impatient guy."
Haotian took Glens and rode quietly out of the camp, crossed the ruins of [Thoth] City, and headed for the city on the side of Goria. Goria did not build defensive cities on the Goria-Toristine border, but there were still some inhabited cities and villages.
Duke Varière was imprisoned in a small village by a hundred of Glens's cronies.
The village numbered no more than 200 people in fifty households, and the Duke of Warriel was locked up in a church in the middle of the village. Glens led the way, and the two soon came to the outside of the nameless village. Tie the horse to a tree outside the village.
"A hundred? Maybe I should bring some soldiers and horses. ”
"That's not a problem for you as the captain of the griffons, is it?"
"Do you know a lot? Keep leading the way. ”
Late at night, the villagers had already fallen asleep. Only the church was still lit.
Glens walked in front of Haotian, and he had an urge to shout in his heart, maybe he could command 100 people to keep this guy. But the sense of oppression coming from Haotian behind him made him suppress this impulse. Even if you wake up those 100 people, you will be the first to be killed; It's better to let him go away, if he wants to take Variel back, he shouldn't have time to kill 100 people to protect himself.
"Captain Haotian, the person is in the room on the second floor."
"Really? Aren't you useless then? ”
"Funny, I can probably get them to let people out."
"Oh, is that so?"
Glens took a few deep breaths and shouted, "I'm back, get that guy out." ”
The people in the church were alarmed, and the soldiers poured out of the church with swords, guns and armor. Ordinary people hold burning torches for lighting.
"Ah, General." The leading soldier looked at Glens and exclaimed.
"Oh? Checkmate. Haotian used Dev against Glens's back, with a lot of taste.
Glens inwardly scolded that subordinate for a bloody head.
"It's me. Get Wariel out. ”
"Yes, General. Go, get that guy out. ”
Several soldiers returned, and soon came out with the emaciated Variel.
Duke Wariel looked at Haotian behind Glens, and his eyes lit up.
Glens turned his head to look at Haotian.
If you don't let me go, I won't order him to be released.
Haotian sneered at him and leaned into his ear and said.
"I'll count to three, and 3 will push you over, if 3 they haven't released anyone yet. I'll kill you and rob you. It's just 100 people, and they won't be my opponents. ”
“1——”
Glens was tormented and felt like death was looming.
"You guys, let go of Variel and let him come."
"What? General, are you crazy? ”
“2——”
"Quick!! Do you want to die if you don't obey military orders?!! ”
Glens roared, his expression grim.
The soldiers were his cronies after all, and they finally complied. Untie Variel's rope and push Variel towards Glens and Haotian.
“3!!”
Haotian slammed Glens out with a palm, grabbed Duke Wariel's hand, and retreated out of the village.
Glens staggered to his feet in front of the soldiers.
The soldiers tried to chase them, but Glens reached out to stop them.
"Stop chasing, that guy can't be dealt with by 100 people."
"The city of [Thoth] is destroyed, and we go back to the country, and go."
"Yes, General."
Haotian took Duke Wariel to the outside of the village and returned to the coalition camp overnight.
The next morning, the two returned to the barracks. Toristin's side cheered and welcomed the two. Alice frowned, Duke Wariel was not dead. The opportunity to incite the Variel Legion to fight to the death is gone.
At around 9 a.m., more than half of the lost army led by Adjutant Alice and Karina returned to the coalition barracks. Alice and Haotian were both very distressed by the loss, and after asking about the situation again, they could no longer blame the adjutant and Mrs. Karina.
Now there are 16,000 troops in the Alice Army, 7,500 in the Torristeen Army, and 6,500 in the Warriel Army. It's about the same as the Gramon Legion, which had only 5,000 left after the previous war.
Haotian and Alice discussed. Haotian asserts that Goria has been driven away, and Toristine has no strength to fight any longer, leaving the army to defend on the southern border. But at this time, Alice advocated attacking, taking advantage of Goria's defeat and retreating, to attack Goria in one go, and wipe out the army on Goria's border, so as to ensure the safety of Toristine's border.
As the princess of Kermania, why does she care about the safety of the Toristine border? Hungry?
Haotian was slandered, but he couldn't convince Alice.
Before the result could be discussed, the two stood still.
