"A thousand?!" When they heard this number, the eyes of all the elders in the audience couldn't help but widen. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"That's right," replied the quartermaster, "six hundred and twenty-eight men were killed, four hundred and thirty wounded, and more than half of them will lose the ability to continue fighting." The specific number of military doctors is still being counted, and perhaps someone fell under the city wall, which can only be further determined after the roll call of the whole army. ”

"It's time to finish." One of the elders said coldly, a disdainful smile on his face. "It's time for this crazy farce of heroes and legends enthusiasts to end. Look at today's casualties, this is only the first day, let alone a month, even two weeks will not last. The defenders of Presidium are no more than 10,000 people, and today alone has lost so many that it is clear that hitting a stone with an egg is a fantasy, and the army of Noxus is far beyond your estimates, and it seems that it may reach 300,000 today! ”

"This is just the first day." Li Qing repeated his words, and his indifferent attitude was like that black blindfold, covering between the two, blocking the mockery and disdain on the person's face.

He turned to the door suddenly, without warning, as Karma and Irelia had just walked through the door, and it seemed that the sound of light footsteps had already been caught by his keen hearing.

Then he bowed his head slightly and continued: "The war has just begun, and the first day's casualties are meaningless. Of course, I don't mean to be disrespectful to the dead, but war is such a thing, and the first day of fighting is just a matter of sifting the chaff and separating the rice from the chaff. ”

"What do you mean by that? Do you mean ...... Think of the fighting samurai as a mixed rice? "The man's question was quite scathing.

Irelia recognized the snarky man, the stranger she had been talking to at the corner of the city wall that day.

"Who is he? That guy. ”

"Chief representative of the Ionian City Merchants' Guild, Terry." Karma couldn't help but frown, it looked like this guy was really giving her a headache. Although he is not a member of the House of Elders, the opinion of the Merchants' Guild has always been taken seriously by the House of Elders. But that guy ...... It's a jerk. ”

"How?"

Karma lowered her voice, "Hmm...... He is an idle prodigal son with his ancestral wealth, it is said that even his own sister has been involved, he is a person of bad character, and his sister will never marry for this reason, but he still has been messing with flowers, but his family is indeed very rich, even if the reputation among merchants is not good, it is absolutely important. ”

"I see. If it weren't for the so-called law, it should have been dragged out and beheaded. Ellie pursed her lips and commented in a low voice.

"I didn't mean that. The initial losses were greater, and the most unskilled people in the army were often the first to die, and of course they were very brave, I admit, but the dead lacked the necessary skills to die. Losses will decrease day by day, and the survivors who remain will become more elite every day. ”

"But there will be fewer and fewer people who survive every day, and they will be tired, they must always be vigilant, and they will not get a good rest." Terry continued, "Shouldn't the military give a reasonable range of tolerance? If we wait until there is no capital to negotiate before suing for peace, I am afraid that it will be the people of the whole city who will be ruined in the end, right? ”

"Are you trying to persuade us to surrender? Such an act in times of war is treason. Li Qing said mercilessly.

"Of course not, Your Excellency, I fully support this war, but I would like you to consider other viable options, how long do you think Presidium will be able to stand under the onslaught of Noxus? Reginald has personally trained these warriors, he is a magician who has created legends everywhere, and if he dies here, this wall will be the last act of his legend, forever, but what about you? What about the elders in the supporting roles? Don't let this so-called face obscure reality. ”

Karma suddenly spoke, "I can understand the great loss of war to you and the Chamber of Commerce, Lord Terry. But the reality for now is that, first of all, we are guarding the strongest fortress left by the previous king, the wall of Presidium, which has never been breached. Secondly, the allies of Demacia are on their way to join us in the fight against the Noxians. Finally, I thank you for your wisdom and excellent presentation, which I will consider with the elders, and I hope it does not take up too much of your precious time. She gasped for breath between sentences. Now, are there any other questions? ”

"That's all said and done, wise Apocalypse." He bowed deeply and exited the hall of the meeting. The proper dress made him look exquisite, but Ellie just felt that this guy could not be trusted.

The conference hall was silent, only the footsteps of his departure could be heard, Karma tried to calm his mood, in fact, he had already been angry, there were always such guys, the soldiers on the front were dying generously, but they were thinking about a decent peace in the rear.

The elders in the audience were also speechless for a while, and before they could express any old-fashioned opinions, Karma excused himself by saying that he was not feeling well and was going to rest, so he left with Irelia, and Li Qing heard their departure and quickly followed.

"Your words are very timely and dignified, Lord Apocalypse." Li Qing said.

"He's just a thorn in our back, and such a guy should have been pulled out and chopped off." Ellie said indignantly.

"Everyone has their own uses." Karma smiled calmly back, although she had not experienced much weather, but as an apocalypse, she had already matured, and everything no longer depended on her love and hatred. "But what about tomorrow? Noxus' offensive could never be nothing more than that. ”

The blind monk with an eyepatch on his head just shook his head.

However, when they reached the barracks, they found that the soldiers were busy, running from barracks to barracks, and many junior non-commissioned officers were carrying bags of marijuana, and were distributing the contents of the sacks to the soldiers.

"What is this?" She stopped a soldier who was handing out masks.

"Lord Apocalypse, these are the ones Lord Reginad asked us to distribute, and I don't know very well, but I know that they are orders from above."

The guy ......

Irelia gritted her teeth in her heart, and her eyes suddenly ran into a white-robed figure in the camp not far away, and the latter seemed to have spotted them and was about to avoid them.

"Dead weak chicken!" Irelia shouted, and the man finally drooped his shoulders and walked over.

"Well, what a good night, wasn't it?" He learned the tone of the drama and said in a fake way.

"You!" The two women spoke almost in unison, their voices full of anger and shock.

……

In an office room deep in the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce.

The black-haired woman was dressed in a soft robe, and her devilish figure was vividly displayed in soft fur, and her slender hands roamed on the man's chest, and her graceful body passed behind the chair, and her steps were as graceful as a cat.

The aroma has long been intoxicating.

The man in the chair was none other than Terry, the chief representative of the Chamber of Commerce, who had just been in the meeting.

"They don't plan to surrender yet, but I think it's going to be soon, the double pressure of war and the Chamber of Commerce, soon, will soon make them succumb."

The woman smiled skillfully, "Soon...... Is it? As I said, when you do that, you can get everything you want...... All. But not yet. ”

The soft voice is sweet and coquettish, but people can't catch it, and the itchy touch is also withdrawn, and there is no trace to be found.

She put on a thin shawl and walked out of the house.

"If necessary, you can get rid of Reginald. Maybe things would be much easier. ”

Her jade fingers grasped the doorknob, paused, and smiled back at him, the blinking electric eyes and the flying kisses that threw out were simply blood-pumping.

A seductive shadow flashes into the night outside the door.
