Chapter 1634: The Kingdom of the Future
The contrast in combat power between the two sides is obvious, and even if the enemy of the Fatel is several times larger than that of the white ship, it is impossible to turn the sky. Don't worry about other enemy ships coming to support. You must know that thanks to Fang Cai's commotion of chasing and fleeing, the entire aristocratic combined fleet has fallen into chaos. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the own fleet led by Asterley also pressed forward, and gradually turned the chaos into panic with round after round of artillery bombardment, and it was only one step away from complete collapse.
Now that the big picture is decided, I can take a break. Well, it sounds more windy to break a fleet with a ship, and a fleet with a person?
Lu Xi felt that this question actually needed to be thought about more seriously, so he poured the coffee in his hand in one gulp. Lieutenant Colonel Mikael, who was standing next to him, hurriedly came up and filled him with a smile in every fold of his face.
Although Lu Xi couldn't see it, he also felt the other party's 100% deference and enthusiasm, so he smiled and said, "Lieutenant Colonel, your comrades-in-arms are making meritorious contributions." Don't miss out on an opportunity not to let yourself be reduced to an orderly. ”
"It is precisely because of Your Excellency's divine power that everyone has the opportunity to make meritorious contributions. You have almost single-handedly defeated the main force of the enemy, but there will always be some fatigue, and the lower officer feels that it is much more important to be able to do a little effort for you to relax and rest for a while, than to kill a few enemy generals. The position of Colonel Ofresa and his comrades-in-arms is over there, and the position of the subordinate officer is here. His face was solemn, and his voice was firm, as if he were really on a glorious and difficult mission.
This guy is a talent! Lu Xi thought.
"However, seeing this scene, the subordinate will have the courage to advise you...... Well, probably, in your eyes, the enemy has gathered an army of 100,000 people, and they are all just ants. When a great being like yours unleashes his power unleashed, it is indeed like the present world of the true God...... But, Your Excellency, you are now a commander who is leading us mortals! ”
Belch? Actually, there is something to say, this guy doesn't seem to be a simple sycophant. Lu Xi thought.
"I don't think you really should take your supreme power as the norm, it's actually sheltering the whole army under your wing. But where does this place our subordinates? We fight with you, we are willing to fight to the death for you, and we ask you to believe in our strength. ”
Eh, that's interesting. With these few words alone, this lieutenant colonel deserves a great promotion.
"And ah, you're in a little unfit after all...... With such a high-intensity spell casting rhythm, if you are tired and injured, how can you call the soldiers of the whole army? At this point, his voice was a little hoarse, even choked.
…… Retract the preface, this guy is really a talent! Why do I always meet this kind of talent?
"I take your advice, Lieutenant Colonel." Lu Xi had a smile on his face, slowly picked up the coffee cup and took a sip, nodded with satisfaction, and then, before Lieutenant Colonel Kemir just showed a happy look, he suddenly let his voice sink a little: "However, this shouldn't be the only thing you want to say to me, right?" ”
"Uh...... This ......"
"Lieutenant Colonel, we don't work together much, but you should know that I'm actually a very kind and approachable leader. I'm very happy to hear from others. Lu Xi patted the lieutenant colonel's shoulder in an old-fashioned manner: "Say it, say it bravely." ”
Lieutenant Colonel Kemir's face twitched and he looked around. Now, although the battle is not over, the soldiers who have arrived one after another have begun to clean up the corpses on the deck, but all of them are a pile of miserable-looking broken arms, and bloodstains, bones and scraps of flesh are almost immersed in the deck. If it weren't for the fact that this Fatel was still a black ship, the blood stains and other things would not be clean, but the bloody and stench of corpses, the terrible corpses, and even the last grievances and fears of the deceased before their deaths gathered together to make the heart palpitate, it is estimated that it will not be able to dissipate in another three or five months.
…… Really, it really doesn't look like an amiable type, right? If I really "spoke up", would I join them? Lieutenant Colonel Kemir thought.
However, to be brave enough to express your opinion may be to join the ranks of the dead, but to try to conceal it when you know that the leader already knows what you have is deliberately looking for bad luck.
Lieutenant Colonel Kemir looked at Lu Xi's face that was not even stained with blood and stains, and had to admit that this was really a flawless face that even a straight man of steel could be bent, but it was especially panicked in this environment.
He opened his mouth, and for just a second he seemed to summon all the courage in his life: "...... Your Excellency, if Vice Admiral Drake Eurentian is willing to surrender, and the officers on board, if they are willing to lay down their arms, can they be given a way to live? ”
Lu Xi put down the coffee cup in his hand expressionlessly, and said nonchalantly: "I think of this, Lieutenant General Ollentian is your distant relative, right?" ”
"Well, it's actually my mother's uncle's cousin's nephew's wife's younger brother...... Well, if you do that, there is actually no blood relationship at all. Lieutenant Colonel Maisley Kemir stiffened his head and said, "Actually, Your Excellency, if they resist stubbornly, then they will be merciful if they die in battle, but in any case, they are also magicians. Woo, the reason why the Magicians Federation was able to become the current academic alliance back then was also the effort of the Great Sage of Laxis! In this way, all the spellcasters are also the disciples of the Great Sage of Laxis, so everyone is actually your relatives! ”
So you can talk about it? Lu Xi thought.
Lu Xi quietly spread his senses, and soon confirmed that the stormtroopers led by Colonel Ofresa had essentially suppressed the entire deck, and that Drake and his party had retreated into the cabin from the stairs of the bridge. At this point, all it takes is for the dwarven stormtroopers to fire a few shots into the cabin. However, perhaps everyone thinks that they have already jumped into the gang battle, and it would be a pity not to find a way to take this ship as intact as possible.
After all, it is also the latest leading warship, one of the famous red, black and blue ships, just the appearance of the hull is not the same style as the surrounding warships, and it is very close to everyone at a glance.
However, after all, the entrance to the cabin was narrow, and a strong attack was not the way, and for a while, the battle situation fell into a temporary stalemate.
Lu Xi didn't speak. Thus, Mr. Lieutenant Colonel also went from cautious anticipation, to dejected disappointment, to finally a face full of painful sorrow.
"Go and persuade me to surrender." Lu Xi said suddenly.
Mr. Lieutenant Colonel went from a depressed frustrated person to a vigorous achiever in an instant. He struck his breastplate and hurried away.
Lieutenant Colonel Kemir's persuasion of surrender began, and by this time, the whole battle had basically reached its final stage. When many of the ships in the central queue of the aristocratic combined fleet were so embarrassed by the explosion caused by the magic that even the flagship Fateel turned into a bloody Shura field, the rest of the warships completely lost their ability to organize. To put it bluntly, this mighty fleet of 100 ships only looks relatively powerful, and when they lose the order from the general flagship, they can't expect a capable person to take over the command later.
So, when the White Ship and the Arras were the core of the enemy fleet, some of the warships had already begun to turn around and flee. The first deserters of these noble armies were also the carriers that launched the gargoyles as the vanguard. The crew felt that they could honestly accept the orders from above and conscientiously fulfill the mission of a cannon fodder, and they were already super brave! Since it turned out that Commander Drake's plan was not successful, there was no need to send him to death.
The transport, which turned 180 degrees on the spot, almost collided with the battleship behind, not only blocking the opponent's forward route, but also completely covering the firing range of their shelling. The scene became more and more chaotic.
The red thunder of the Arras could not let go of this opportunity, and after several particularly ferocious rounds of shelling of the densest and most chaotic enemy of the noble fleet, which was sure to sink nearly ten enemy ships, and created even greater chaos and panic that spread like a plague, he actually ordered the only ten warships under his command to outflank the two flanks.
Ten ships put on the appearance of completely encircling and annihilating an enemy force ten times their size, which is not only crazy but also really boring. However, the ordinary soldiers of the aristocratic army did not know how many people and ships there were on the other side, they only knew that their own fleet was inexplicably in the main formation, one ship after another was booming, even the general flagship was no exception, and now the main force of the enemy on the opposite side was pressing up again, and the artillery fire was so overwhelming that everyone could not raise their heads.
The enemy is so fierce that he can barely save his life by running.
When panic completely dominates the body and mind of ordinary soldiers, officers are completely uncontrollable. What's more, most of the officers had already become part of the panic.
The main fleet of the Noble Coalition began to break up in this way.
The die is cast!
Perhaps because of this, Sehireu also left the command post of the white ship and reached the black ship Fateel through the portal.
"Actually, our victory is unshakable, and all that remains is news from Miss Nanorca. You don't have to maintain the portal anymore, it's a bit of a burden for you. She said to Lu Xi.
"You just think I'm working on the basics. Recently, there have been too many chores, and even the basic magician practice homework has been pulled down. These people are too vegetable, and they can't afford to have a fight with the old man for so long. Lu Xi said.
Now that the old man has been moved out, it is difficult for Cesileu to say anything, so he took Lu Xi's coffee and replaced it with a cup of carefully blended hot drink that can replenish physical strength and nutrition, and by the way, he changed the topic: "If Lieutenant Colonel Kemir succeeds in persuading him to surrender, are you really ready to accept their surrender?" ”
“…… It couldn't be that the little girl named Rachel also took the lady's route, right? ”
"Who's Madame! She didn't say anything, just a little bit of a look of desire to stop in front of me. Oh, I have to admit that the girls carefully cultivated by the big family are really amazing. ”
"Look at the tone you speak...... I thought you were going to be best friends. ”
"The first time I met her was when she was a student, she joined the student council and we worked well together, but we were far from friends. And then there's the ...... It's time on the white boat, and I'm just one spell away from killing her. And then she became my best friend. Yes, if you can win the final victory, she will always be my best friend, even if I persuade you to cut off the head of Lieutenant General Drake Eurentian, her own uncle, and hang it on the flagpole. In short, looking at the way we are, our sisterhood should be able to last until the end of life. ”
"Sesilu, has anyone told you that you have grown up?"
"Some people have said that I'm becoming more and more like you, but I'm not happy at all." Sesilio burst out laughing.
"Husbands and wives will always influence each other, this is the objective law of the world, my dear, you can't escape." Lu Xi said. Then, before Sehiraeus blushed and stomped his feet in disgust, he added: "Do you have any suggestions on how I should deal with the surrendered ambushes, though?" I'm asking for your advice, Seyleus. ”
"I don't know." Miss Student Council President said calmly.
“…… Such a sincere attitude is indeed very Sesilek. ”
"I really don't know, because it really depends on your calculations. What I've seen and heard tells me that the Gatekeeper nobles are the greatest original sin in the realm, the stinking bloodsucking silverfish. However, none of my education, my friends, my esteemed mentors, relatives and friends were in the habit of slaughtering enemies who laid down their arms. Lu Xi, you didn't either. ”
Lu Xi nodded: "Go on." ”
"However, reason tells me that with these tens of thousands of soldiers, including a large number of gate lords, nobles, left in the rear, our advance would not be so rapid."
"It's actually quite easy to solve." Lu Xi said with a smile.
“…… Well, I shouldn't doubt your intelligence. ”
"Your mouth is clearly saying 'shameless.'"
"You can't see it, don't fool me!"
After laughing, Cesileu hesitated for a moment, but then said, "However, Lu Xi, you haven't told us what kind of country you want the Federation to become. ”
"Completely wipe out all the gate valve nobles...... Oh, of course it's impossible. I'm not the kind of bloody saint who can use thunderous means with great compassion, and I don't think that under the current social conditions, I can really sweep the gate faction into the garbage heap. If they are really scrapped, who will Rotary's products sell to in the future? ”
"Ah, that's it?"
"What do you mean? This is very, very important! In short, the family name of the nobles can be retained, a part of the property can be retained, and even the official position of the person with a good attitude can be retained. However, the private armies must be disbanded, the local tax system must be abolished, the slaves must be emancipated, the right to education and basic income of the civilian population must be guaranteed, and the basic life and political rights of the civilian population must be guaranteed. In addition, except for the nerds who can play tricks to occupy high positions, they must give me the fuck off, and the bureaucracy must be overhauled on a massive scale. ”
"This, even when Master Rassell was still there, he didn't dare to say that he could do so many things. It's just wonderful. I myself was born a commoner, and I know too well how much hope these fair policies will bring to ordinary people once they are implemented! Thank you so much, Lu Xi! Seyleu probably thought of the future of the country after such reforms, and his eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of pus, and he no longer concealed his reverence and fascination for the man in front of him.
"Well, in this way, there will inevitably be a considerable class of burghers and yeoman farmers, all of whom have a certain amount of spending power. Our market capacity can be guaranteed at a minimum. ”
Sesilul was happy: "...... Heh, Lu Xi, are you shy? ”
"Seriously, we're just doing what a capitalist should do?"
"Hehe, that's it. Hmm, according to you, this is tsundere, right? ”
"It's you, right? I've said it all, this is the operation of the real villain! ”
If it weren't for the following scene, such a nutritious conversation would probably have lasted for a long time, but fortunately, Lieutenant Colonel Kemir turned back at this time, knelt down on one knee and knocked on his breastplate with a "poof": "Your Excellency, the lower official is fortunate not to be dishonored." Just ......"
It's just that you have done such a great thing, and you don't seem to be happy, but your voice is still a little trembling, as if you have encountered something terrible.
"Ah......h
"What's wrong?"
"They surrendered, just...... It's just that he came out with the head of Lieutenant General Drake Olontian. Sesiluk suppressed mixed emotions and said in a deep voice.
