Chapter 21: The Lion's Mouth
Chapter 21: The Lion Opens His Mouth
Green Flag Cottage, outside the hall door, Glitter suddenly stopped, only to see him constantly playing with his hair, the original neat hairstyle was suddenly a little messy, at the same time, Glitter stood in place, his eyes looked at the sun in a daze, how strong the summer sun was, but in a few breaths, his eyes were stimulated tears......
Jia Xu looked at all this stupidly, "Lord...... You...... Taking the wrong medicine? ”
Gretel couldn't help but give him a roll of his eyes, but this action immediately made his eyes tingle, wiped away his tears, Gretel's eyes were red, "Let's go, let's go in, remember, you will cooperate with me a little later." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
In the hall, Carmen's messenger waited for half an hour before Glitter slowly appeared, the long wait made the messenger complain, but when he saw Gretel's red eyes as he walked in, the complaint in his heart was suddenly replaced by curiosity, "Gretel leader, you, what's wrong with you?" ”
Glitter sat on the throne and forced a smile, "Lord Messenger, I've kept you waiting, don't worry, I'm fine, it's just that my brother who grew up with me died under Toby's brute knife in this battle, and besides, this battle lost most of my brothers in Green Flag, so ...... Hey, the messenger smiled......"
The messenger was stunned by what Gretel said, and then he stood up and said solemnly: "Once the success is done, the leader of Gretel shed tears for the sacrifice of his brothers below, and the character of the leader is very affectionate and righteous, so that I admire it to the extreme!" ”
Gretel waved his hand, "Lord Messenger, you came at the right time, although we won the ambush battle, it was also a tragic victory, the brothers in the cottage suffered heavy casualties, and the main force was almost wiped out. ”
Speaking of this, Gretel's red eyes squeezed out two lines of tears again, and Jia Xu, who was standing behind Gretel, looked at the performance of the lord that was comparable to that of the actor, and admired the five-body throw!
Gretel stretched out his hand to wipe his tears, with a sad face, "Lord Messenger, the bloody hand of the fierce attack was counterattacked by us, and the loss is not light, they will never let us go easily, and with our current strength, we can no longer resist the next attack of the blood hand, Lord Messenger, we Green Flag and Carmen are allies, hoping to get military support from our allies......" After speaking, Gretel looked at the messenger expectantly.
The messenger's mind was a little confused, and the words he had prepared before coming here were useless, and Gretel's preconceived ideas completely disrupted his rhythm, in other words, the messenger now felt that he was being led by Gretel's nose......
"The Green Flag Cottage is threatened by bloody hands, as an ally, it stands to reason that we Carmen should naturally send troops to assist, but the problem now is ......" The messenger's head kept turning, "The problem now is that our village owner has taken most of the army in the cottage to the east in order to expand his territory, and it is rumored that a small cottage has appeared there......"
"So a coincidence?" Gretel's eyes widened, and he asked, somewhat incredulous.
The messenger slammed his chest and said solemnly, "Yes, it's such a coincidence! ”
Gretel's suspicious face immediately turned gloomy, and two lines of tears burst out again, crying when he said he was crying, and he was able to cry for his unique ability, which made Jia Xu and Xu Chu next to him look straight!
"Then wouldn't our Green Flag Cottage be cut off in my hands, if you want resources but no resources, if you want reinforcements but no reinforcements, this bloody hand is angry and blows, how can we resist, hey, brother, there is really no way, we can only temporarily withdraw from the Green Flag Mountain Range, in order to keep the last seed of the Green Flag, even if I am reluctant, I can't let everyone die under the attack of the bloody hand......"
"No, no, Lord Gretel...... "The messenger now only feels a numb scalp, a big man crying in front of you, the sorrow of feelings, the misery of the scene, it is almost tearful, it sounds sad...... If he remembers correctly, this war was clearly won by Gretel, but this victory, how could it be the same as the emotion of losing the battle......
"Lord Gretel, the matter of evacuation, you must not do it, this Green Flag Mountain Range, it is easy to enter and exit, it is difficult to enter, once the territory is occupied, if you want to fight back, it is impossible to fight back without more than ten times the strength, so, you must not think so......" The messenger said quickly, "Although we Carmen cannot provide military support, but, as an ally, we will give the Green Flag Cottage material resources, as long as we Carmen have, Lord Gretel just say, I will let people bring it tomorrow!" ”
When Gretel heard the resources, he slowly stopped crying, and his two big eyes blinked, "But with resources alone, without soldiers, this battle can't be fought......"
The envoy raised his eyebrows: "Lord Gretel, with money, you can recruit troops and horses, and with money, are you afraid that you won't be able to recruit people?" ”
Gretel slowly fell into thought, and after a few breaths, he wiped his tears and said resolutely: "Okay, this bloody hand killed so many brothers in my Green Flag Cottage, this revenge, not the same day, in order to take revenge, I fight, brother, as long as you Carmen give us twice the resources last time, we will immediately go down the mountain to recruit troops and horses, and fight to the death with the bloody hand!" ”
"Twice as many resources ??!!" The messenger jumped up from his seat.
In the stunned eyes of the three Gretel, he also knew that he had reacted a little, but he still said emotionally, "Lord Gretel, this resource is also what our Carmen has accumulated day by day, he, he didn't come from the wind, the batch of materials that supported you last time has been the savings of our cottage for nearly two years, you want to double it, this, we don't have so many resources......"
Glitter looked at him in a muttering voice: "But, without resources, there are no soldiers, and without soldiers, how can we fight with bloody hands?" ”
Looking at Gretel's expression at this time, thinking about Gretel's lion opening, the messenger suddenly understood that Gretel's crying scene just now was clearly acting for him! Isn't the purpose to prepare for the current lion's big mouth?
The messenger's face gradually calmed down, and his chaotic thoughts finally came to an end, which was right, and this was in line with the image that Gretel had left for himself. This kid is a complete little fox, even if he feels sorry for the loss of the soldiers, it is impossible to cry bitterly in front of himself as an outsider!
So, now the problem comes down to the problem of resources!
Give, the resources must be given, otherwise why did the envoy come over, isn't it just to let the Green Flag replenish its troops, and the bloody hands will lose both? As for how much to give, we need to discuss it carefully......
The messenger said slowly, "Lord Gretel, twice the resources, it's too much, grain, grass, copper coins, it's good to talk about it, wood, stone, iron ore, this is also when we need to build, we will store some resources, usually no one will put a pile of wood and stone in the warehouse, you double the resources......"
"We don't want wood, stone, iron ore, five times the copper coins, twice as much grain and grass!" Grett interrupted the messenger in an instant and said quickly.
The messenger smacked his lips and wanted to speak, but he couldn't help it, okay, good fellow, he answered so quickly, and he answered so simply, with twice the resources proposed by the little fox, he didn't plan to get anything on wood, stone, and iron ore, and his real purpose was copper coins and grain and grass, cunning, treacherous, and simply human spirits...... In a word, three points are true, seven points are false, false and real, and the brain reacts slowly, it is really easy to be fooled by him......
"Five times the copper coins, that's a whole million copper coins, ten thousand silver coins, Lord Gretel, if we had Carmen to have so many copper coins, we would have formed a bronze army long ago and wiped out his bloody hands......" The messenger smiled bitterly.
Glitter waved his hand: "Brother, I communicated with you from the bottom of my heart, but you are so unreal, millions of copper coins may be an astronomical amount for others, but Carmen Cottage, as an old large-scale cottage, does not know how many times higher than the Green Flag, the annual income of the Green Flag, I have a number in my heart, and Carmen's income ...... Even if I can't guess correctly, I can guess eight or nine without leaving ten! ”
The envoy frowned and stood up, "Lord Gretel, one million copper coins is beyond my control, and I need to ...... with our village master for this matter." Let's discuss it with the owner of the second village, and I will reply to you as soon as possible......"
Gray nodded, sighed, and also stood up, "I hope that the envoy brother will go back and have a good talk with the master of Carmen Village, Wenhe, you go and order, let the brothers pack up their belongings first, if we are not ready, the bloody hands will attack, we can also evacuate immediately, isn't ......"
The envoy's face was pale, Gretel's words, it was not clear that he was talking to him, if they Carmen did not agree, then their green flag would no longer be the first pass for Carmen, and they would flash people directly!
"Okay, Lord Gretel, then I'll go back first, I will report this matter as soon as possible, and you can get a reply as soon as possible!"
"In this way, Brother Messenger, I won't entertain you anymore, go all the way ......"
