"I, Duke Anufri Aleksandr Bukarov, only make a request for peace to the kingdom of Amistolis on behalf of the Empire of Draguma......"
With his head bowed, the fat and bloated Grand Duke of the Draguma Empire and the Governor of the Eastern Province of the Empire bowed down in a trembling voice in front of the Grand President Bradley, who had come to the Northern Fortress to inspect the military situation.
Trembling, helplessly, humbly, trembling in fear, he lowered his head in the decades he had not bowed to the ground, and his voice was vino and humble.
Standing on the high walls of the fortress in the cold winter months, he was still sweating profusely.
With a few retinues, all of them bend down and stand on a high platform with the posture of a subordinate and a loser, a lowly person.
Begging him
"The Empire is willing to pay compensation and reparations to your satisfaction, and is willing to pay all the military expenditures and losses caused by the destruction of your fortresses in this conflict, no matter what price you offer!"
As he spoke, the Duke, who was nearly fifty years old, suddenly knelt down on the ground in front of a group of retinue and Briguz soldiers, and looked at President Bradley in pleading.
"So I beg you, Your Excellency President Bradley. Please, take the troops! If this continues, the eastern province of the empire will be finished! Please stop your troops! Our troops have been wiped out by your army! All the soldiers have been beheaded, and we have already paid the price of a legion and 100,000 men! We already know it's wrong! We were wrong, all wrong! ”
Looking at the president's eyes, which were still as cold as steel, and the duke, who had been frightened by the pale blue killing demon, crawled to the president's feet like a dog
The lowly are like slaves, and the lowly are like livestock.
The governor of a province of the empire knelt at the feet of President Amestorius at this time.
Pray for mercy and command to withdraw his troops.
"What are these words, Your Excellency? I don't understand at all. ”
Looking at the duke in front of him, who had been frightened, Bradley's eyes did not have any emotional fluctuations, and his voice was the same as when he usually spoke, and the same as when he worked, except for majesty, there was not even a trace of waves.
Looking at the humble human beings in front of him, his heart was full of contempt.
"There is such a thing as a war between our country and your country, so how can there be such a thing as war between us? Your Excellency has been overwhelmed. ”
However, the president's words contained an incomprehensible sense of relief that everyone present could not understand.
Looking at the spectacular scene outside the scarred Fortress of Briguz, the President was very satisfied.
"Our army has never attacked your country."
After saying that, he took the people and prepared to leave.
"Nope! No! Your Excellency, please wait! What are your requirements...... Whatever you ask, we'll say yes! All yes! As long as you get your army out of the way! Any condition is fine! ”
Thinking that the demon girl was leading her beast army to slaughter the governor in Draguma at this time, I felt my heart jump out of my heart.
Thinking about the horrific memories of being thrown into a blood-colored pit by that girl, being buried alive with the corpse three times in a row, dug up, and then thrown into the river covered with red ice water. Thinking of the beasts who were still slaughtering in the territory of Draguma, the governor knew that if they were not stopped now, it would not be long before the Eastern Province would be destroyed by the witch named Estes.
"Any conditions?"
In the end, the president waited for the answers he needed.
"Yes, any conditions! Any condition is fine! As long as you withdraw your troops! ”
Seeing that his prayer had finally come to fruition, the Duke hurriedly responded, fearing that His Excellency the President would regret it.
"My secretary will tell you about the specific matters of the agreement, and after signing the agreement, we will make the agreement public, and we will withdraw our troops at that time."
Those who never keep their word should be punished, and the bloodshed plan needs to be played out according to the predetermined script.
At this time, it is not good to let Draguma be too rampant or too weak, and it is a good thing to be obedient.
After much consideration, Bradley finally agreed to sign the agreement.
Otherwise, according to his character, he would really order the troops to kill the entire Draguma Eastern Province.
"Thank you, Your Excellency! Thank you, Your Excellency. Hearing the other party's complete relief, the Duke was so excited that he kowtowed his fleshy head on the cold stone platform of cement and clanged, which made people feel pain when they heard it, but the Duke felt that this pain was nothing?
What is the pain compared to the whip and heel of the brutal and murderous girl? It's not even a tickle.
"Soldiers of Briguz!"
After agreeing to withdraw his troops, President Bradley turned to face the defenders of the fortress who were standing in a queue on the fortress, holding the sword that had not left him for thousands of years.
"You're good! It's the impregnable walls of Amestolis! It is the pride of the country! ”
It was these soldiers who insisted on guarding their posts after more than half of the casualties of the Draguma army, which relied on the fortifications of the fortress and the undeclared battle ten times their own in the fierce battles of recent months.
"You may know that you have contributed a lot to your country, but you don't know how big that contribution is!"
As he spoke, he took out a diplomatic document from behind him and showed it to the soldiers
"This is a declaration of war sent to me by our old adversary, Ayerug, who has crossed our border and concentrated the whole country on our attack last week! Because of your heroic resistance, Draguma's army was brought to a halt at Bliguz, saving our country and our army from fighting on two fronts! This scarred fortress is not just your fortification, it's your medal! It is the testimony and glory of your defense of the motherland! ”
The voice of the president is as sonorous and powerful as when he was young, the government of this country is a military junta, the army is the core of power, and the soldiers are noble and honorable.
has its own pride and glory.
The president was born in the army, experienced many battles and performed miraculous feats, and what he said convinced every soldier.
"But at the same time, we should not forget the brothers of the mountain hunters who are still north of the fortress, who crossed the snowy mountains and crossed the forest to destroy the enemy's headquarters, dismantle the enemy's command system, and annihilate 50,000 enemy troops! It was they who forged the cornerstone of our victory with the flesh and blood of their enemies and the lives of the oppositionists of the Empire, and it was thanks to the heavy losses they inflicted on the enemy country that our enemies would succumb and our country would be able to get out of the dilemma of fighting on two fronts and go all out to repel the enemies of Ayerug! ”
With that, the President once again faced the former battlefield on the outskirts of Bligoz.
"Salute to the warriors who defend the Fatherland on the territory of the Empire!"
"Span!"
"Span!"
First the Grand Presidential Guard, then the Fortress of Bligoz, and then all the northern officers and soldiers who had come to support Bligoz.
Tens of thousands of troops stood on the various platforms of the high walls of the fortress, and heard every word and every word spoken by His Excellency the President on the radio.
Under the order of the President, he stood upright, raised his head and chest, and gave a standard military salute in the direction of the outer wall and the direction of Dragouma.
Underneath the fortress are the corpses and broken rock remnants left by the Draguma Empire's storms, then the artillery positions destroyed by the Draguma Empire's artillery bombardment, and then the enemy's defensive front and then the enemy's front-line troops.
And then ......
Huge ice sculptures and large pits.
The corpses of tens of thousands of frozen and slaughtered soldiers.
Piles of soldiers' corpses were piled up on a high hill and placed neatly on the snow, creating a spectacular sight.
The corpses died in varying ways, but a significant number were frozen to death.
In addition to the fact that these corpses were all wearing the military uniforms of the Draguma Empire, there was another feature......
The race of the corpses is basically the people of Lal and the minority people who are close to the Lards.
The Vastoks, the dominant anti-Draguma ethnic group in the eastern provinces, have few or no corpses.
