Chapter 509: Well Done
A vigorous offensive and defensive battle, fought from morning to dark, and did not end, under the fortress city, piled with the corpses of the soldiers of the two armies, the stone walls inside and outside the fortress, soaked in blood, has become a veritable red wall, no one has counted how many casualties, but it is obvious that most of these corpses are from the barbarian army, the ratio of casualties on both sides is at least ten to one, and most of the losses on the part of the witch clan are those tiny and worthless dragon flies.
"Ding Ding Ding, Ding Ding ......" In the cheers on the Gran Fortress, the barbarian country's internal and external attacks on the Gran Fortress on the first day were over, because the corpses under the city walls had seriously hindered the offensive speed of the army, the casualties of the enemy's various units were not the same, and the soldiers in the hands of many generals were completely out of formation, and all the soldiers were bloodthirsty, and the war-weariness was high, and the leading marshal Griffin had to give the order to stop the attack.
Attacking the fortress to no avail, this is what Griffin had long expected, because the barbarian country and the water kingdom are familiar with each other's tactics, and the water kingdom that is good at defense controls one of the three strongest fortresses in Middle-earth, how can he attack it in one day? But what Griffin didn't expect was that the other party's army configuration was so perfect, the original Mizusawa country battled, and there were not so many flying dragons and dragon flies as tactical troops to invest, and the main force of hand-to-hand combat was not a monitor lizard but a brute bull, it seems that this time, Mizusawa has made full preparations, only the witch people are dominant, there is such a strong troop allocation, this is the first time Griffin realized the serious consequences.
The attacking army in the Ural Grand Canyon also suffered heavy losses, and Griffin gave hope to the barbarian army in the Ural Grand Canyon and personally ruined their hope. They are different from the Griffin from the domestic direction, Griffin can organize another attack if he can't attack the fortress, but the army in the Urals is no longer capable of carrying out a second attack, and has been without food for many days, this time the all-out attack has exhausted their last combat strength, they have become an army to be slaughtered, any of the three fortresses, as long as they are willing, send an army of twenty or thirty thousand people, they can completely destroy this defeated army without will.
Scolding Iona, scolding Griffin, scolding Arad, crying dad and calling mother...... The sound of despair in the Ural Grand Canyon under the cover of the whole night was very different from the chic when they were arrogantly attacking the Kuba Fortress before, they could never have imagined how the 200,000 people on their side could become the object of mermaid meat overnight, just like a little bird singing proudly, suddenly shot down by an arrow from high in the air, and fell into the endless abyss, such a psychological gap, which makes people desperate to the extreme.
"Prince Daniel, can you contact Mr. Higg now?" After the victory on the first day, Iona was a little proud, and said to Daniel with a smile, "I think the army that came to the Ural Grand Canyon is about to run out of breath, and I really don't know what to do with it!" ”
"What's the hurry?" Daniel smiled, "Elder, it's not us who is in a hurry now, it's the Barbarian Nation!" The 200,000 troops in the Urals are involved in the war situation in Aracya, and Arad will definitely make a move when he gets the news that these 200,000 people are trapped and the witch clan is sending troops, we need to see the other party perform everything and remove the makeup, and then praise who performs better, hahaha! ”
"But are these 200,000 people really starving to death?" Iona wondered.
"How can you starve to death so easily?" Daniel said, "Do you see their strength today? They are still composed of at least 20,000 wolf knights and cavalry, these wolf warrior horses, when necessary, but they are all military rations, the military rations are eaten, and the animals pulling the carts are eaten, and they should fight the horses and wolves next, and if they don't consume these, they will not completely lose their combat power! We have to be patient enough to make the other party anxious, and we just watch the excitement! Elder, I was really happy and relieved to bear the name of Nasri before, but now I am still thinking about how to deal with the envoy sent by His Majesty Nasri, who is angry! ”
"What's your solution?" Iona asked, "Daniel, you can't go back to our own race and always watch our shows, right?" The messengers of Nasri, I can see them if I want to, but I don't want to see them! Calculate the time, the envoy should also arrive in the next few days, it is better to ask the son to take the seat and meet them! ”
"Me?" Daniel was surprised, "Although I am a native of Mizusawa Country, I left Mizusawa as a teenager to study on Rainbow Island, and I have been in Fuxing City since then, and I don't know anything about the situation in Mizusawa Country, how do you tell me to deal with it?" ”
"It's because I don't understand that I let Childe stir up the situation?" Iona said, "As the son of the Princess, and with the blood of the beast tamer, as the messenger of this throne, it is most suitable, although Nasri is the king, this seat may not take him seriously!" This seat is unwilling to surrender his identity to face the questioning of a messenger, and he has to reluctantly explain something when the time comes, which is really a wretch! The identity of the son is different, even if he says something wrong, there is always room for maneuver on both sides, and as a son, he is the most unwilling to have a conflict between the bloodlines of his parents, so this matter is none other than the son, I hope the son will not shirk! ”
"Damn—" Daniel said angrily, almost crying, "The elder had already thought of letting me deal with it, right?" Tut-tut, you and Higg are really not a family, you don't enter the family, and you haven't married that guy yet, so you start directing me, as if I owe you a lot of money! ”
"Let Childe negotiate, mainly for the sake of the revival of the witch clan!" Iona said, "Nasri has a good relationship with the barbarian country, not only is there a lot of blood relations, but also many interests are entangled, he is not willing to make enemies with the barbarian country, and he will inevitably demand that we withdraw our troops, and we can negotiate terms with the situation." What kind of conditions are needed to meet the interests of our witch clan and the development of the witch clan, Daniel is far-sighted, and must be clearer than this seat, as for other things, the son knows to deal with it, and if he doesn't know, he will fight with them Haha, you said, it is them who are in a hurry, we are not in a hurry! ”
"Nasri has people like you, it's really a headache, as soon as you are not satisfied, you will send troops to threaten, this monarch is really not very good, it is really pitiful!" Daniel laughed, "Aren't you afraid that Nasri will lock down the witches in a fit of rage?" ”
"Okay, blockade will block!" Iona said, "How much has the witch clan contributed to the Mizusawa country for tens of thousands of years, has the ruling beast tamer clan paid attention to the development of the witch clan?" They occupy most of the territory of the Mizusawa country, how many times have they sent troops to fight together, and the two sides have shared the consequences of defeat, and they have won, but they are all monopolizing interests, Nasri wants to settle accounts with this seat, and this seat will settle accounts with him from the beginning! I don't want to make the relationship too stiff, after all, the Mizusawa country is unstable, and it is not good for the witch clan, and the revival of the witch clan needs a stable and peaceful environment, but it is not to fight for peace with patience! Childe, negotiate with Nasri, be tough when you should be tough, you don't need to be polite to them, the army in this seat is Childe's strong backing! ”
"I haven't said I agree to see the messenger on your behalf!" Daniel said with a glare.
"You'll agree!" Iona said, "Of course you don't want this seat to send Cirika! Although Sirika has a flexible mind, she has been used to dealing with people from the beast tamer clan for a long time, and she has already lost in the aura as soon as she meets, which is not interesting! Of course, you don't want to use this seat as an elder of the witch clan to order you to go! ”
……
Military action is always more responsive than political negotiation, because political negotiation requires many conditions, one of which is the issue of military posture.
Because there are many etiquettes and etiquette in political relations, even if the envoy of the barbarian country is in a hurry, he cannot ignore the etiquette, which is unseemly and completely exposes his weakness to the other party. Therefore, no matter how miserable the front line is, political negotiations can only be carried out step by step, not to mention that the envoy of the barbarian country, Lenscart, is not sure whether this military conflict is the idea of Nasri, the king of Mizuzawa, if so, it means that a full-scale war breaks out between the two countries, and negotiations are meaningless; If not, it's just that the witch clan is acting privately, and it can only be regarded as an unexpected local conflict, which can be resolved through negotiations, and it can only be blamed for Nasri's lack of complete control over his domestic forces! If the barbarian country does not want to completely turn its face, it can only swallow this bitter fruit for the time being, and attribute the real cause of this military conflict to the external accidents caused by the main domestic contradictions of the Mizusawa country.
Nasri, the king of Mizusawa, already knew that something had happened to the Witch Clan after the situation in his Jersey fortress, but they thought that the Witch Clan would point the finger at the Barbarian Nation instead of Erathia. In fact, there were signs before, because Iona had already informed Nasri when she was the new Witch Clan Elder, asking Nasri to put pressure on the barbarian nation to withdraw the barbarian army's troops from the Ural Grand Canyon.
Now that things have happened, Nasri, who is in his forties, is not incompetent, no matter what, the witch clan is also the force of the Mizusawa country, and now in the face of the barbarian country, after weighing the pros and cons, he still agrees with the outside world for the time being, otherwise, blindly pushing the responsibility on the witch clan, he will first fall into a laughing stock that has no control, is timid and fearful, and shirks responsibility.
First of all, in the face of the Barbarian Envoy Lenscutter's question, Nasri admitted the fact that the Jersey Fortress had been handed over to the witch forces, but he really didn't know about sending troops to the Barbarian Nation, so he could only be vague, maybe the Barbarian State itself offended the Iona forces themselves but they didn't know, which led to the conflict.
Secondly, Nasri expressed his attitude towards Lenscart, that Mizusawa had no intention of being an enemy of the barbarian state, and that the unexpected military conflict ended here, and that the Mizusawa country was willing to repair friendly relations with the barbarian country;
Third, immediately send an envoy to the Ural Grand Canyon to deal with the withdrawal of troops, but one of the conditions is that the barbarian countries must abide by the armistice agreement and stop all actions to interfere in the civil war in Erathia, otherwise, if something happens to the Ural Grand Canyon again, the barbarian countries will bear their own responsibility!
Nasri said all the words, how to do it, the witch clan agreed to disagree with his plan, he didn't say specifically. Iona's military operations in the Ural Grand Canyon were not without benefits for Nasri, although the Mizusawa country and the barbarian country have been friends for a long time, but it was a compromise, and in the face of the barbarian country's strength over the years, the Mizusawa country did not dare to be angry and did not dare to speak, and finally got rid of a bad breath. At the same time, Naris began to be impressed by the witch clan, especially Iona, and the power of a group of women in power dared to do it, which may not be a good thing for the beast tamer clan, but if you can make good use of the power of the witch clan and stand at the height of the Mizusawa country, this is not necessarily a bad thing. Nasri still doesn't want the division of the Mizusawa country, and he still wants to do his best to maintain the stability and unity of the Mizusawa country!
Although Nasri was angry on the surface, he admired Iona in his heart: "Well done! ”
