"Chapter 113: Attempted Persuasion"

We live in this world, not just to pursue our own happiness, but to contribute to others.

"This alone is enough to prove that our Luxi has lost unjustly!" Gregory, who witnessed Bai Wu's departure, said in a stunned tone: "Compared to your strict system, we are too free and casual. ”

"General Gregory, the outcome of a battle cannot determine the outcome of a war. Bai Feng said indifferently: "The key to determining the outcome of a war is the comprehensive strength of two countries, not the combat effectiveness of one army. ”

"Your Excellency the Governor of Rome, do you mean that the comprehensive strength of your Roman city is far superior to that of our Luxi tribe?" Gregory, who was full of pride in the Luxi tribe, said unconvinced: "You must know that our Luxi tribe is one of the overlord tribes in the eastern region. ”

"It is true that the Luxi tribe is indeed one of the overlord tribes in the eastern region. Bai Feng asked silently: "But do you know about the forces on the south bank of the Cangluo River, or do you know how powerful the strength of the city of Rome is?"

"This ...... We really don't know. Gregory frowned slightly: "But we know that in addition to your newly rising Roman City, there are two major forces on the south bank of the Cangluo River, the Acenian tribe and the Werther tribe, which are also the overlord tribes in the eastern region. ”

"Really?" Bai Feng smiled slightly: "The Aceni tribe and the Werther tribe are indeed the overlord tribes in the eastern region, but that was a few years ago;

"How is this possible?" exclaimed François, "how is it possible for you city of Rome to annex two overlord tribes?"

"To be precise, our Roman city has only annexed the Werther tribe. Bai Feng explained to them: "After some not-so-good changes have happened to the Esini tribe, they have become vassals of our Roman city three years ago, the same vassal as the Luci Kingdom. ”

"Lucy Kingdom?!" Gregory, whose eyes flashed with shock, said in a low voice: "Your Excellency, I admit that the strength of your Roman City is indeed stronger than that of our Luxi tribe, but our Luxi tribe is not so easy to bully!"

"General Gregory, do you really think that the current Luxi tribe is still the same Luxi tribe of the past? I don't know if you have received a message that the 300,000 troops stationed on the border of your Luxi tribe have almost been wiped out. ”

François immediately retorted: "You are talking nonsense! How can our 300,000-strong army in the Luxi tribe be wiped out?!"

Looking at François with an indignant face, and then at Gregory next to him, who had no surprise on his face, Bai Feng, who instantly understood in his heart, was quite playful: "It seems that General Gregory, you have a lot of things, and you haven't told you this 'beloved apprentice'." ”

Hearing Bai Feng say this, François's eyes widened, he looked at his teacher, and said in disbelief: "Teacher?"

"François, there are some things I don't tell you that I have a reason for. Gregory looked François in the eye and said, "You have to believe me, I will not harm you, let alone do anything harmful to our Luxi tribe." ”

"Teacher, I will never question any of your decisions! What I want to know is, is our army of 300,000 really wiped out?"

"Although I have not received exact information, we should have little left of our army of 300,000. Gregory let out a long sigh and said, "Attacking them is a full 700,000 troops from the Eastern Alliance. ”

"Seven...... 700,000 troops?!" François, who was suddenly silent, took a few steps back in despair and stopped talking.

"General Gregory, the 300,000 troops stationed on the border of your Luxi tribe are almost wiped out, and the 100,000 troops under your command no longer exist;

After the lie he had tried so hard to maintain was exposed on the spot, Gregory, whose face changed slightly, said in a more and more reassuring tone: "Since His Excellency the Governor already knows everything, why bother to talk so much? ”

"It's just that our master and apprentice are already prisoners of our own difficult to protect, and I'm afraid we won't be able to agree to any of your conditions. ”

"No, you are free to choose to be a part of the kingdom of Lucie, or to be part of our city of Rome. ”

Gregory asked rhetorically, "Your Excellency, do you think that we will turn our backs on our tribe and our faith and become shameful traitors, or will you accept the service of a traitor and entrust a traitor with a heavy responsibility?"

"I really didn't expect that there would be such a well-tongued general as you in the Luxi Tribe!" Bai Feng, who was gradually raising his love for talent, couldn't help but sigh: "General Gregory, you have subverted the image in my heart that the barbarian general is not good at words!"

"Barbarian general?" Gregory said with a twinkle in his eyes, "Your Excellency the Governor, you, aren't you from the east?"

"A keen sense of smell is indeed a necessary skill for a famous player. The more he looked at Gregory, the more satisfied Bai Feng became, and specially explained to him: "It doesn't matter whether I am from the east or not, the important thing is that I can let the people in the east live and work in peace and contentment." ”

"How are the people under the rule of Rome doing, and what does it have to do with our Luxi tribe?" Gregory directly shook his head and refused: "I was born as a member of the Luxi tribe, and my death is the soul of the Luxi tribe;

"What if Luci perishes?"

"Then I'll shed the last drop of blood for the tribe!"

After a long silence, Bai Feng asked in a deep voice: "General Gregory, let me ask you one last question: whose Luxi tribe are you loyal to? Is it the Luxi tribe of all Lucies, or the Luxi tribe of Viriacius?"

"Does it make any difference? Viriacius is the leader of our Lucian tribe, and he represents all of us Lucies. ”

"No, there's a difference between the two. Bai Feng began to quibble: "Take the Lucy Kingdom as an example, the people of the Lucy Kingdom are the people of the southwestern Luxi, don't you think they are Lucians just because their leader is not Viriacius?"

"This ...... It was they who chose to betray our Luxi tribe. ”

"What is betrayal? In my opinion, they just made their own choice. Bai Feng continued: "From Luxi to Luxi Kingdom, has the blood flowing in their bodies changed? The so-called betrayal is just an imposed concept. ”

"You ......" Gregory knew that there was something wrong with Bai Feng's words, but he didn't know how to refute them.

Bai Feng hit the railroad while it was hot: "I also know that it is difficult for you to understand what I said, but I hope you can give yourself a chance: after this war is over, you will stay in the Lucy Kingdom for a while, and if you are still unwilling to stay, I will not embarrass you." ”

"Good!" Gregory, who felt that he would not waver, agreed without hesitation and said, "One word is a certainty!"
