5. War Rhapsody

The biggest problem with being in a high position is that you always have to meet people, and you have little free time, sometimes friends, sometimes enemies. So, in order to save time, meet a few more people at a time, and there is a meeting. If it happens that other high-ranking people think the same way, then the meeting will not be finished.

I was in Charon Heavy Industries, meeting with the Black Coffin remotely over a scarce radio, across from the other Elders, and Sosa, who seemed to be Michael's butler.

Sosa said: "Godfather, we have received news from Yegli asking for peace talks. ”

I was startled at first, but immediately became angry and shouted, "She still has the face to talk about peace talks? Hersin has slaughtered my city! Sooner or later, I'll have to settle accounts with her! ”

Sosa hesitated for a few seconds and said, "We are still building a sentry post and a settlement outside the black coffin, and if war breaks out at this time, Longley Helsing will destroy our entire army, and our efforts will be burned, so if she wants to make peace, let her make peace." I think so. ”

I asked, "Who sent the message?" ”

Sousa said: "It's the IBA guys. ”

I said angrily, "IBA is a bunch of wall grass, how do you reply?" ”

Ti Feng took over the topic and said, "Since it is a grudge between you and Ye Geli, it is inconvenient for us to agree on your behalf, so we haven't replied to him yet." ”

I stood up and paced in circles, saying, "Is that a personal vendetta?" ”

Tiphon sighed and said, "I didn't mean that, but the person Yegli hates the most is you." ”

Maxwell: "I heard from the IBA emissary that you slaughtered the civilians of the Anno Empire in the War of the Rifts, and you didn't tell us the details. ”

I said, "So, you're trying to investigate me now?" ”

Maxwell changed to a soothing tone and said, "No one will investigate you, you are an important member of us, but if there is important intelligence, we must know it before we can analyze it." ”

I said, "Yegari has built a city out of the chasm, and the humans of the city have dedicated their faith to a great demon, and that great demon will use it to channel the energy from the rift to Yegri's new city of Sodom to make her troops and weapons!" If I hadn't destroyed the rift and killed the people inside, the sword and shield would have been finished long ago, and we would have been doomed. ”

"Interesting theory, very interesting. ”

I said angrily, "Could it be that the professor has another opinion?" ”

"I'm just interested in that kind of technology, and I'm working on ways to find and locate the rift, and maybe we can emulate it," Mai said. Energy is the cradle and bloodline of civilization, and the more energy a civilization can control, the higher the degree of civilization, of course, the effect is mutual. ”

"But that energy comes from a demon after all!"

"Essentially, it's no different from solar and nuclear, the only thing that matters is whether we can harness that energy," McZon said. ”

I don't want to debate scientific issues with Mai Zong, it's purely self-deprecating, and if I don't understand what he says, won't it be a shame and a big shame?

Michael coughed and said, "Don't digress, dukes, I don't think there's anything wrong with what Longey is doing." ”

Ti Feng hurriedly said: "The problem is that Ye Geli hates him, and he has formed a bond with Ye Geli again in the Sword and Shield Society. ”

Hearing her mention this, my spine couldn't help but straighten a little, and said: "This matter is even more glorious - the hero fell from the sky in despair and turned the tide, and the Sword and Shield Society is grateful to me, I wonder if the Scepter has written a few thank-you letters to you?" You should be in the black coffin in the big and small newspapers, no, you should be at the top of the headlines for a whole year. ”

"It's not a question of right or wrong, we have to think about the follow-up, and in this situation, if she attacks us, our new settlements will be wiped out," Tifeng said. If we shake hands and make peace, we can win a long-term opportunity for development. ”

Maxwell sighed, "Ah, peace in troubled times is more precious than embers." ”

I said, "I have a better idea." ”

Tiphon asked, "Can you tell us what it is?" ”

I said, "As the so-called yellow sky is dead, the black coffin should stand!" Now, the people of Sodom are in the midst of a sea of fire. We united with the Sword and Shield Society, formed a large army, and went on an expedition to Sodom, vowing to level the city walls, tear down the palace, cut off the head of the female thief, burn her gold, silver and jewelry, seize the beauties of her harem, reward the whole army, and reward the soldiers, so as to show the way of heaven and show justice! Don't conspire with the tiger and be embarrassed, so anti-Chinese female thief's treacherous scheme! ”

Ti Feng was stunned for a moment and said, "You seem to mean that.... Attack on Sodom? What do you do with Longley Helsing? ”

I wanted Abel to deal with this man, and if Helsing had resorted to the trick of stopping time, Able would have a way to deal with it, and I had asked him about the stop of time, and his face was full of disdain, which filled me with hope. But Abel's self-confidence is too much, I can't pack a ticket, he won't overturn.

Don't dare to pack a ticket, the assassin Dagon has no other terrible spells.

I said proudly, "Is there a battle in the world that must be won?" How can there be a good deal without risk? Murder and over-goods, life and death are commonplace! Those who compete for the world will have a lighter life than a feather! If you are afraid of death, how can you benefit? If you love life, you are not far from death! ”

Maxwell said, "Have you and the Sword and Shield Society discussed a joint expedition?" ”

I sneered and said, "In the Sword and Shield Society, that scepter is innocent and beautiful, no, young and naΓ―ve, owes me a great favor, and has always been in love with me... Wrong.... Full of admiration, what I say, it will do. And the nine hermits ** are not far from ten, they are already in my control, as long as I give an order, they will follow. Therefore, if I hold high the banner and shout, this army will be completed immediately, and this covenant will take effect immediately, and then the thieves will be leveled, unstoppable, thousands of years, unify the rivers and lakes, enjoy the immortal blessing forever, and live with the sky. ”

Michael said, "Longi, there's a problem. ”

I raised my eyebrows and said, "Please speak, I listen." ”

Michael said, "What are you talking about?" I don't understand a word. ”

I said angrily: "This is ancient English, you Ye Gong is a good dragon guy, are your antiques collected for nothing?" ”

Michael said, "That doesn't sound like that. ”

Maxwell laughed, "I've studied old English quite well, but I'm confused about it. ”

I looked up to the sky and sighed, and suddenly I was high and low, and I stood still for a long time, and then shook my head and sighed: "The enemy is a demon, who does many evils and has endless tricks, and when I wait for me to recuperate, he will also be ready to attack." If we ignore it and just bury our fortunes, do we know if we have fallen into the hands of the enemy? Now, when the enemy shows weakness, it will be the emptiness of his rear, and the change of elbows and armpits! If the Northern Expedition is carried out at this time, the Tatars will be expelled and the wasteland will be restored.

However, today the court is all pedantic and cowardly, I have the world's martial arts, the wisdom of the world, and the blood, but I can only look north in vain, I can't think of it. Woohoo lament, is this the will of God? The sky makes me have empty ambitions, but I can't use my fists and kicks? No wonder, no wonder, the invincible overlord of Western Chu in the past once had a song cloud:

Pull out the mountains and cover the world.

The times are not good, and the smos will not pass.

It's not going to pass away, but it's okay!

Yu Xi Yu Xi Nao!

Hmph, sad, ridiculous, you forced me, don't blame me for holding my wife from now on, falling into the boundless tenderness of wine, no longer asking how the world is going or what the war is like! ”

Ti Feng understood the last few words, and said angrily: "You mean, if I don't promise you, you will play tricks from now on?" This is not a child fight! ”

I snorted sharply.

Le Gang said: "You have been talking for so long, or do you want to fight?" ”

I said, "It's natural!" ”

Le Gang said: "But how many soldiers do you send?" ”

I said, "Probably two people." ”

The other side fell into an awkward silence, and Le Gang said: "One is you, and the other is who?" ”

I said, "All in all, a very reliable guy." ”

Legang and Michael stopped talking, and I knew they wanted to help me, but they couldn't help me with my offer.

Maxwell said, "So, you and your reliable fellow, plus about 10,000 of us and the Sword and Shield Society, are going to attack Sodom, whose details are unknown?" ”

I gritted my teeth and said, "Yes! ”

Ti Feng said angrily: "What kind of bullshit idea is this! ”

I said, "Let me remind you, ma'am, that we are in a cruel age and face a cruel enemy, so have a cruel heart and resort to cruel means!" Therefore, we must wage war and let the engines of Yune and Juno roar! Let the bullets of Excalibur and Sniper Rifles whizz out! Let the blades of the Sword and Shield Society bloom with our artillery! Let the blood of demons and martyrs fly! Only war, war can bring lasting, true peace, only death, a lot of death, can be exchanged for vitality and development! ”

Tifeng: "But you only send two people, this is too..."

I lamented, "I'm a battered man, and I've suffered more than any of you, so believe me, I'm only sending two people because I can only send two, and I can't arrange anything else." Moreover, I fought with that person, and it was better than a thousand troops. ”

Maxwell: "Then why don't you two just go and take Sodom?" It is also possible to reduce the losses of soldiers! ”

I shook my head and said, "If the jade is not cut, it will not be made." The chest is not pinched, it does not develop. They are soldiers, cogs and screws in war, and only by constantly operating can the war machine run smoothly. If left to sit idle, they will quickly become waste that cannot lift a gun. ”

Actually, my real concern was about the strange traps and magic in Sodom. Just like Yegeri is afraid of the aether suppressor of the Sword and Shield Society dungeon, what will Yegeri do to me if I run into the city and miss and get captured? I can't imagine it.

So there must be cannon fodder.

Le Gang reluctantly said: "There is some truth in what he said. ”

I said, "Oh yes, Legon, my brother, yes, I'm talking about our only salvation." ”

I am a wolf warrior, a cold front, a war madman, a bloodthirsty soldier king, in my eyes, life is insignificant, only war can quench thirst, so, nothing can stop me from launching a tragic war of revenge.

Ti Feng sighed: "Okay, if you really make up your mind, we will vote on this, are you really willing to give up Ye Geli's high trade order of 40 million gold yuan a year for five years, and insist on starting a war with her?" ”

A large trade order of 40 million gold dollars per year for five years? Hmph, I, Longinus, am a crumb that can be impressed with money.... Wait, why hasn't anyone mentioned this condition to me before?

I asked, "How much can I get?" ”

"If you agree to peace talks, I can give you a quarter," Tifeng said. ”

I said weakly, "What about a third?" ”

Tifeng said, "Yes." ”

I groaned for a moment, sat down honestly, and replied, "Okay, dear, you will reply to Yegri that I have decided to make peace with her, dear." ”
