Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Independent Kingdom

After seeing off Qiu Zhiwei, Jing Ling finally summoned the peace group, only to see him sitting on the main seat, looking down at the twelve white people standing below, and said coldly: "What are you here for?" ”

One of the people standing in front of him took a step, bowed down and said, "On behalf of Nolan, we have come to sue for peace with the Chinese state." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Jing Ling looked at the person who spoke, he was about fifty years old, dressed in a gorgeous moire red robe, with a zigzag face, short hair, a hooked nose, and sharp eyes flashing from time to time, and he didn't know what the hell he was thinking.

"Who are you?" Jing Ling still had a stinky face, and he didn't have a good impression of the people in Nolan's government.

"Honorable Lord Jingling, my name is Warren, and I am a staff member of the Generalissimo of the Light Army, and I am also one of the Archbishops of the Light Sect on the Nolan Peninsula." Although Warren's tone was respectful, there was no trace of respect in his eyes.

Jing Ling knew that this kind of person who was extremely deep in the city government was the most difficult to deal with, so he raised an evil smile and ordered the ten guards stationed in the conference room: "Cut them down for me!" ”

All the envoys looked shocked, and Warren cursed in his heart: This damn Jing Ling doesn't play cards according to common sense at all!

In the blink of an eye, the guards rushed up with their swords, and before those messengers were scared to pee their pants, Jing Ling rushed and said: "Wait, the two armies are fighting without killing them, I don't want to bear a bloody and brutal infamy, you can retreat." ”

Hearing this, those guards withdrew their long swords one after another and returned to their garrison posts, but the sharp murderous aura in their eyes was always locked on the bodies of those messengers.

Although they knew that Jing Ling was just giving them a dismount just now, all the envoys felt a palpitation for the rest of their lives, and there was also a trace of worry in their eyes when they looked at Jing Ling, who knows if this man who played cards out of common sense would really stab them!

Warren didn't know how many times he had cursed Jing Ling in his heart, and the leader of the mission who had come to sue for peace was not him, but he had the opportunity to meet Baiss himself.

And the main reason why he wants to be the leader of the mission, in addition to wanting to receive a political achievement and reward, is that he wants to visit his old friend Wiki.

Warren and Vicky have known each other since they were young, and the two of them have been on a journey together in Ice City, of course, neither before nor now, Warren did not know that Wiki was a Viper man.

Later, Warren was given the opportunity to be included in the leadership reserve camp of the Light Sect, while Vicky continued to stay in Ice City to explore the Extreme Path.

A few decades later, Wiki founded Tourist, became a Radical Father, and Warren, who joined the Light Sect, became an archbishop.

Jing Ling naturally didn't know the relationship between Vicky and Warren, let alone that he and Warren would have a bad relationship in the future. I saw him raise a demon-like smile on the messengers, and said, "Without further ado, tell me about your terms of peace." ”

Warren straightened his clothes and said, "As long as the Zhonghua State swears allegiance to Nolan, we will give you thousands of beautiful women with good faces, inexhaustible wealth in your life, and an environment to enjoy wealth and prosperity." ”

Jing Ling knew that Warren's last words were threatening him, only to see him ask coldly, "What am I going to exchange for?" ”

Warren immediately smiled when he heard this, it seems that there is a drama for peace. I saw him say word by word: "There is only one condition for the exchange, and that is to make Ice City the western gateway of the Nolan Peninsula." ”

Jing Ling had a hard time making a choice when he heard this, and to be honest, he really didn't want to be loyal to Patch at all. In order to get a chance to defeat Nolan, this hero did not hesitate to sacrifice 200,000 soldiers and civilians in Rock Gravel City as bait, so that all his family members died tragically under the butcher's knife of Nolan's army.

If he had the chance, he would definitely choose independence, but because Nolan was likely to start a war in the East, he could only choose a safe haven.

But the safe haven of the Black Land is not very solid, and if the Nolan army does fight, the Chinese state will eventually have to rely on itself, which is why Jing Ling said to the refugee forces in the morning, 'How many of them will survive this year'.

Seeing Jing Ling's hesitation, Warren encouraged, "I think I just revealed my identity. ”

Jing Ling was stunned for a moment, and after coming back to his senses, he said, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Warren said, "I said that I was a staff member of the Generalissimo of the Light Army, and I was also one of the archbishops of the Light Sect. One thing I think you must be clear about is that the light religion is not the same as the slave owner class. ”

Jing Ling sarcastically said, "If it is different, how can they conspire with the slave owner class to attack the Black Lands?" ”

Warren shook his head and sighed: "The geographical pattern of Dongtu is more complex than you imagined, and in the face of the threat of being invaded, the Guangjiao can only temporarily put aside the abolitionist reform and choose to deal with the strong enemy with the slave owner class. ”

Jing Ling was speechless: "Nolan is so powerful, who else dares to provoke you?" ”

Warren said worriedly: "Our multiple intelligence organizations have found out that in the first half of the year, Albertan continued to provide a large number of weapons to the Black Land. One of them is a new type of weapon called the Hand Cannon, which can kill a trained sergeant even if a child is wielding it. War is a barrel of explosives, and it will explode when it is said. It just so happened that this year's drought in Nolan also gave us an excuse to send troops to the Northern Expedition to preemptively attack the enemy before they attacked us. ”

Jing Ling's body shook when he heard this, and he seemed to think of something. He had always thought that the Black Land was a weak one, and had always been invaded by Nolan, but only now did he remember that it was Luo Tianqi who established the Black Land forty years ago, and the manipulator behind it was the ruler of Albertan. Blackland is afraid that Nolan will destroy it, and why is Nolan not afraid that it will become the vanguard of Albertan's invasion of himself?

"There are no eternal friends, only eternal interests!" Jing Ling couldn't help but say this eternal proverb.

"You're right, only eternal benefits." A strange color flashed in Warren's eyes, and he had already roughly guessed Jing Ling's thoughts. I saw him continue to admonish: "The Light Sect has always been committed to abolishing slavery, and once it succeeds, the vast territory of Nolan will once again become a land of light. On the other hand, look at Blackland and Albertan, although they did not explicitly establish slavery, but the system of fiefdom was originally slavery in disguise, and I think you must be well aware of this. ”

Jing Ling nodded in agreement, as the lord of the Chinese state, he knew best how dark the mining system was. Although he appointed the ice city himself, according to the fiefdom system, everything in his fiefdom, including the living people, was also his wealth, and he had the right to distribute the land and control the life and death of the lords.

In the rest of the realms, the lords toiled in the fields or workshops all their lives, and most of the value produced was taken by the beneficiaries of the fiefdom system, and in the end they only got enough food to eat and starve.

Warren saw that Jing Ling was a little moved, and he continued: "Lord Bais asked me to bring an edict, and he said that since you have never sent troops to help the Blackland Eastern Army, and let the Sirius Alliance join the Red Army, he already knows about your relationship with Blackland, and regrets the lie you told him before. If you hadn't lied to him that the Red Army's capture of Ice City was premeditated by Blackland, then he wouldn't have been in such a hurry to attack Ice City, but he asked me to tell you that the past is all about letting it pass, and now Nolan only hopes to settle his old suspicions with Zhonghua Bang. ”

Jing Ling said: "The Red Army and the Nolan Army have become enemies, and I rebelled under the banner of allegiance to the Black Land before, if I turn to Nolan now, then what will the people below think?" ”

Warren smiled heartily: "What's there to worry about, first of all, you rebelled halfway, and you didn't officially allegiance to Heidi at all, so there is no such thing as defection." Secondly, the Chinese nation that you have established is an organization that transcends races, beliefs and civilizations, with the dragon as the totem and peace as the faith, I can't think of any other country and pope in the world that can be more sacred than the Chinese nation. ”

"You're right, I did bring them together. But that doesn't mean everyone will agree that I owe allegiance to Nolan, including most of the Red Army. Jing Ling suddenly remembered the closest relatives of this body, and he closed his eyes and was silent for a moment before continuing: "Their families have all died tragically under Nolan's butcher's knife, and once I swear allegiance to Nolan, they may betray me. ”

Thinking that Haji, Moon Hee-yang and the others were likely to hate their decision, which would lead to the betrayal of their relatives, Kyungling felt a sense of sorrow.

Warren seemed to have thought of this for a long time, and saw him say with a solemn face: "As long as the China State you lead does not point the finger at Nolan, Nolan will also fully support the independence of the China State." ”

"What do you mean?"

"Nolan means that I hope you can be the king and change the name of the state to the Kingdom of China."

As soon as Warren's words fell, Jing Ling stood up suddenly, revealing an expression of disbelief.

The guards stationed there were even more short of breath, who made Warren say such a shocking sentence.

"Nolan wants us to become an independent kingdom!?" Jing Ling was surprised.

"That's right, Nolan wants to have a buffer zone of war with Blackland." "You should be well aware that war consumes a lot of money, destroys trade routes, and breeds hatred and poverty," Warren said. The reason why Nolan is gathering troops now is just to give Blackland and Albertan a warning that if they insist on continuing the military operation, Nolan will not hesitate to fight back, and will probably strike first. ”

"Let me think again." Jing Ling sat on the stone chair with her fingers pressed against her temples, looking very distressed.

At this moment, the gate was suddenly opened, and then Haji rushed in and shouted, "Commander, Rock Gravel City has been breached by the Blackland Eastern Army!" ”

Hearing this, the envoys of the peace group beat their chests one by one, with tears of grief and tears, revealing a painful expression.

Jing Ling sighed heavily: "Haji, go and gather all the officers above the battalion level in the Red Army." ”

Although Haji didn't know what Jing Ling wanted to do, he still took Jing Ling's orders very seriously.
