Chapter 588: A Promise
"Rosta, are you going to mutiny too?" After Nyala and Casif were dragged out, Mapote confronted Rosta coldly.
"Lord Marshal, after the mutiny, can you control the army of the Fourth War Zone?" Rostabi stepped forward respectfully and saluted, and said with a smile, "My lord thinks too much, in the next life he is a person in the fourth war zone, and in death he is a ghost in the fourth war zone, and he will always follow the marshal!" ”
"It's not a mutiny, it's a soldier!" "Did you bring the enemy into Ben Shuai's tent just to see Ben Shuai's jokes?" ”
"This General Wicks is a defeated general under the Marshal!" Rosa said, "His heroic magician regiment was beaten by the marshal to the point that it was almost unorganized, and he also admired the marshal's methods very much, and admired the marshal himself!" ”
"Heroic Wizards, Wicks, you? You are General Wicks who broke through Wupala Pass and Dongning Pass in a row and led the army of the Fifth Army into the Guanzhong Plain? Ma Pote stood up in surprise, and then said with a sneer, "What do you want to admire and admire, Ben Shuai is now swimming in shallow water and falling in Pingyang, but the general is full of spirit and infinite scenery, what do you want to do?" ”
Wicks smiled: "I'm a rough person, straight to the point, since the marshal asked, then I'll get straight to the point!" The current situation must be well known and clear! The Fourth Theater had no more than two choices, the first was to continue to resist stubbornly and die for Arad and be annihilated by the Fifth Army; The second is to defect to the Fifth Legion, turn the front, and deal with Arad! How should the marshal deal with himself? ”
Ma Potter said with a smile: "It is indeed possible for the Fifth Legion to annihilate our army, but if the commander insists on breaking through, it may not be impossible, even if it fails, the Fifth Legion will be knocked out a few teeth and broken ribs!" ”
"After the Marshal successfully broke through, where do you want to go?" Wicks smiled and asked, "There is no way back for you in the Arad camp, you are a defeated general, you have an inexplicable relationship with the Fifth Legion, they can't tolerate you, especially the prince's conspiracy, but you are still thinking about working for them?" ”
"But what's the matter, it's impossible for Ben Shuai to surrender to you!" Ma Potter said coldly, "Now you can kill Ben Shuai at any time, but Ben Shuai will never be the first rat at both ends, disloyal and unjust!" ”
"Hehe, the marshal may not really think so, it's just that he doesn't see the rabbit and doesn't scatter the eagle! Of course, I know what the Marshal thinks, so I deliberately gave the Marshal a third way to choose! Wicks laughed.
"The third way?" Marbot asked curiously, "What way?" ”
"Self-reliance! Lord Marshal's Fourth War Zone, the Arad camp is completely unable to go back, and is unwilling to join the Fifth Legion, of course, it is self-reliant! Wicks said, "This is the path pointed out by the Marshal's wife of the Fifth Legion to the Marshal, as long as the Marshal's Fourth War Zone does not stand in the Arad camp, it is our Fifth Legion's friendly and allied forces, whether the Marshal is willing to participate in the battle against Arad or not, our Fifth Army will not have any hostility towards the Fourth War Zone, the Fourth War Zone, will always be the Fourth War Zone, you will always be the Marshal of the Fourth War Zone, including the hundreds of thousands of troops outside the Yuping Pass, will still belong to your subordinates!" ”
"Self-reliance?" Ma Potter shook his head and said with a smile, "Hehe, the current situation is the same as fire and water, how can a third force be allowed to exist?" Even if the Fourth War Zone narrowly escaped, no matter which side of Catherine or Arad wins, and finally settles the accounts after the autumn, I must have died the worst, even worse than those generals and marshals who resisted stubbornly! ”
"Marshal, this is not true!" Wicks said, "I know that the Marshal has had great ambitions since he was a child, and he has been loyal to the country and has done his duty for the people!" The Lord now has a sharp weapon in his hand, serving Arad, he is a fool! For more than ten years, what Arad has done, is it for the country, for the people, or for his own selfish desires and power? Do you know that the Marshal of the Fifth Legion, Count Higg, said a word that even Queen Catherine had nothing to say! He said: 'I am a loyal one, not for the sake of Your Majesty, but for the sake of the country and for the sake of the people!' 'To put it bluntly, he himself has done this for so many years, and which of Catherine's camp does not know that Earl Higg acts, and never looks at Queen Catherine's face? But so what, whether it is in the middle of the court, in the temples or in the countryside, who dares to say that Count Higg is disloyal and unjust? The Fifth Legion was able to rise in the past ten years, in addition to the efforts of Count Higg and all the soldiers, but also because it was supported by the whole country and loved by the whole people, so that it could have today's achievements! The righteous have more help and less help for the unjust, and the Arad people have betrayed their relatives and left their relatives, is it worthy of such allegiance to the marshal? Is this really consistent with the ideals of adults? After the Fourth War Zone stands on its own, as long as I walk right and sit up straight, my Fifth Army will always be an ally of the Fourth War Zone! ”
"Count Higg is so bold and reckless, this commander is indeed ashamed of himself!" Marbot laughed, "Such wild remarks and ideas are so righteous and awe-inspiring! ”
"Crazy thoughts? That's from the point of view of the marshal, from the point of view of those in power in the court! Rosta said with a smile, "But if you look at it from the perspective of the people of the world, from the height of a thousand years of achievements, dare to say that Arad and Catherine are beyond the reach of the dust, how can it not be righteous and awe-inspiring?" ”
"What you said, Ben Shuai is already excited!" Ma Potter said with a smile, "However, just the two of you, there is no evidence, if the Fifth Army turns its face in the future and settles accounts after the autumn, won't the fourth war zone of the commander be blind and difficult to argue?" ”
Rosta said: "This is the personal promise of the Marshal of the Fifth Army, is it child's play?" Marshal, how can you guarantee that you will believe it? ”
"How can a promise in the army come from a woman's mouth?" "I must have embarrassed you if I wanted Queen Catherine to write it herself, but if I can get the handwritten promise of Marshal Higg of the Fifth Legion, I will immediately do what you say, and no longer work for Arad!" ”
Weeks was furious, "Marpote, who are you?" Dare to be inferior to Mrs. in front of me, Mrs. is a person who receives things, leads the army to fight, and governs the place, how can you be compared with this wretch! Marshal, since the words are not speculative, this is all for today! Salute first, then soldiers, and after three days, please accept the real military advice of our army! ”
After Wicks finished speaking, he turned around and was about to stride away, but Rosta hurriedly pulled him and said, "Look at your quick temper, you have to pick a child if you say a few words, Madame asked you to come, you just went back empty-handed, and told Madame that things were messed up?" ”
"Hmph, Ben Shuai has not agreed to the conditions of your Fifth Legion, you have already treated Ben Shuai like this, teach Ben Shuai how to trust you!" Marbot laughed, "Since the words are not speculative, General Weeks please!" The head of this commander is here, and the outside is also your people, why don't you be more direct? ”
"How about I make this guarantee?" A man suddenly walked in outside the tent, and as soon as he entered, he said loudly, "Since the marshal can't believe the promises of General Weeks and General Rosta, then, I will make a guarantee!" ”
"Who are you?" Ma Potter was furious, when did his handsome tent become a vegetable market, and anyone could come and go as he pleased?
"Marshal!" Before Rosta could react, Weeks was heard screaming with almost joy.
"What?" Mabot and Rosta shouted almost in unison, their eyes fixed on the young man who had recklessly entered in front of them.
I saw that the person who came was wearing a golden armor, stepping on a pair of bronze combat boots, carrying a giant sword and an ink-colored longbow on his back on the left and right respectively, his long golden hair was pulled back into a ponytail at will, modified into a short goatee, his face was ruddy, his eyes were blazing, and there was no trace of superfluous ornaments on his body, but he radiated a charming style and extraordinary temperament. Here, the most dangerous thing is probably this character, and no one should want to pretend! ”
"The camp is heavily guarded, how do you get in?" Rosta exclaimed.
"You're the Rosta Magista?" Higg smiled, "Don't say it's here, even if it's the Imperial Palace of Crodina City, if I want to, don't I come and go freely?" Since Lord Rosta is the head of the Fourth War Zone Magician Regiment, we have already dealt with each other, but unfortunately, Lord Rosta's Magician Regiment is vulnerable! ”
"Is that you? Magic......? Rosta's mouth opened wide and his eyes looked terrified.
"Marshal Marpote, how else do I need to prove myself?" Higg interrupted Rosta's words and said to the stunned Marpot with a smile, "The Fifth Legion and the Fourth War Zone are already old acquaintances, and we have been dealing with each other for as many years as there has been a civil war, and we are very happy!" It's just ten years in Hexi and ten years in Hedong, and the marshal thinks, how to continue fighting, or end this grudge? ”
"Count Higg's methods are really different, I have been repeatedly frustrated in the Fourth War Zone over the years, and now he is ingenious enough to come to my military tent just to end the grudge?" After Marpote's astonishment, he calmly asked, "Now that people are swordsmen and I am fish and meat, what does the Earl want?" ”
Higg said: "Since the Marshal can't trust General Weeks and General Rosta, let me vouch for it, as long as Marshal Mapote no longer fights for Arad, the Fifth Army will definitely not have any hostility towards the Fourth Theater, nor will it settle accounts after the fall, and will be clear in front of Catherine for the Marshal and the Fourth Theater!" When the battle is clear, if Catherine's side wins, the Marshal only needs to think of the Queen's allegiance in time! If Queen Catherine wants to settle accounts after the autumn, the Fourth War Zone will be an ally of the Fifth Legion, and my Fifth Legion will advance and retreat with it! In addition to the 80,000 people here, there are also more than 100,000 people in Yuping Pass and outside Luxwang City, all of which are still under the account of the marshal, and the area within a radius of 200 kilometers outside Yuping Pass, including Yuping Pass, will be temporarily used as the base camp of your army, and the right army of the Fifth Army will immediately withdraw from Luxwang, and the more than 20,000 cavalry of Ulin will no longer blockade Yuping Pass, how about it? ”
"Is this true, Lord Earl?" Marpot exclaimed, "Just to keep me neutral?" As Count Higg, he must be a promise, and this handsome man can naturally be trusted! ”
"Just be trustworthy!!" Higg smiled, "However, since the Marshal can't trust General Wicks, and I have to vouch for it, how can I guarantee that I will restrain myself and remain neutral?" I'll make this assurance, Marshal, I'm afraid you'll have to pay the price! ”
"At what cost?" Marpot was still excited, but Higg's words made him feel that things were not so simple.
"Of course, it's a vote!" Higg said with a smile, "If you want me to believe in the Marshal and the Fourth War Zone, I must deliver the certificate of surrender, otherwise, I will be superfluous for today's trip!" ”
"Vote?"
