Chapter 494: Not a Step Back
There was a lively discussion in the council hall, but Angel didn't participate at all, she didn't even listen to the speeches of her fellow clansmen, she just sat beside Wen Yan without saying a word, and quietly observed the hundred officials of the empire.
Because it is His Majesty's business to make decisions, and she, as the crown prince who is about to become the lord of the empire, should take this opportunity to remember the performance of her courtiers as much as possible, and the more critical the moment, the more she can distinguish between relatives and friends.
Each of the Holy Clans was eager to speak, and all the humans were silent, as if they were thinking, but Angel always felt that they were not thinking about how to make the empire survive this catastrophe, but how to divide the benefits after the reshuffle of power.
Perhaps, in their eyes, when His Majesty leaves, he will be a doll they play with. Thinking of this, Angel's eyes turned cold, and she made up her mind that the first thing she would do after succeeding to the throne was to make these humans who were proficient in power and skill and good at infighting deeply understand their status, and let them understand who was the real master of the empire!
At this time, the voice in the council hall suddenly became low, because a high-ranking main battle faction walked out of the queue and knelt in front of the dragon chair seat, it seemed that he had something to say.
Angel knew this fellow clan, although his status was not as good as Angel'er, but he was a high-ranking saint clan who followed His Majesty during the Yuanjiang War, and his qualifications were far better than most of his fellow clans in the council hall, second only to Lord Ronaldo and Lord Kaka.
"Say." Wen Yan bowed slightly, and the hall was suddenly silent.
After receiving the answer, the Holy Clan, who was kneeling in front of the hall, slowly raised his head, with a sad and indignant expression, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the practice of Huaxia and the Russian Federation has actually violated the peace treaty in essence, they are just playing with words!" If humanity can not abide by peace treaties, why should we do it? Or to put it another way, if humans can play with words, why can't we! ”
As soon as the words came out, all four were shocked. If the silence in the council hall just now was caused by His Majesty's holy might, then the silence at this time was entirely due to the words of this main battle faction patriarch that surprised all the saints, and then listened carefully - as for the humans who were huddled in the corner of the council hall for fear of attracting attention, they remained silent and did not speak the whole time.
Wen Yan stared at the veteran of the main battle faction, neither nodding nor shaking his head, as if he was thinking.
At the head of the cardinal's throne clicked out: "Human beings are lowly and despicable, and they do not keep their promises, but playing with words is not a violation of the treaty, because the final interpretation of the treaty is not in the hands of our people. But I think you're thinking well, if humans can play with words, why can't we play with words? Lord Shengbai often admonishes us not to dislike human beings because the Lord of Evolution favors our race, and that human beings are not worth learning, as an intelligent race born before our race, human beings have a history of civilization that can be studied for tens of thousands of years, and there must be something worthy of learning from our race. Since humans can play with words, we might as well learn from it. ”
After speaking, Ka Ka turned his head to look at Wen Yan, and seeing that Wen Yan had no intention of objecting, he nodded and said, "Tell me, how do you think the Empire and the Holy Sect can play with words without violating the peace treaty?" ”
"Yes!" The elder of the main battle faction bowed to Kaka in a kneeling position, and continued, "The peace treaty only stipulates that our people cannot expand their territory until they have the permission of the human power, and even if the whole of Mongolia is empty, our people and the empire will only shrink a corner. ”
When it came to this unequal treaty, the holy clans in the temple showed a look of hatred, and the small size of the territory meant that the number of people was low, which also meant the low yield of human flesh.
"But!" The patriarch of the main battle faction suddenly raised his voice, "The peace treaty does not stipulate that our people must hold on to the territory, in that case, why don't we take the initiative to give up this barren land?" We can take our loyal human followers to wander the Gobi Desert and be nomadic like the nomads of Mongolia! In this way, we don't have to come into direct conflict with the Demon Tide, and even better, we can send a large army to drive away the surplus human beings and let them lead the Demon Tide to attack the Chinese army and the Russian Federation army! ”
Angel's eyes lit up when she saw many of her fellow clansmen after hearing this, nodded in praise, and then looked at the humans who were hiding in the corners and silent, and they all hid ridicule and contempt in the depths of their eyes.
"Ugh." Angel suddenly felt sad and let out an imperceptible sigh.
Today's high-level saint clans, most of them rely on force to fight to reach high positions, according to the Chinese people, they are all mud legs, they use the skills of their brains, and they are really too far behind human beings, and they will actually agree to such a stupid proposal.
In order to succeed in such a tactic as mastering the long technique of subduing the enemy, there is a necessary factor, that is, the person who uses the strategy must have a smart enough head, otherwise it will not be self-defeating to use the tricks he is better at against the enemy?
Angel was sure that as long as the empire dared to do what the patriarch of the main war faction said, Huaxia and the Russian Federation would come up with another set of means in the blink of an eye, which would make the empire suffer heavy losses.
But this kind of long-term human prestige and the destruction of the morale of the same clan must not be said in front of hundreds of officials.
So, what will Your Majesty do? Is it unreasonable to dismiss it directly, or to tell another reason, so that many of the people will be happy to submit?
With Angel's understanding of His Majesty, most of them are the former, because His Majesty rarely knows how to be reasonable, or unreasonable, or too lazy to be reasonable.
"Huh." Wen Yan smiled contemptuously, "You are also worthy of being the representative of the Yuanjiang Main Battle Faction?" ”
There are Yuanjiang factions in the human race, and there are also Yuanjiang factions in the Holy Race, and the Yuanjiang factions on both sides are the most radical representatives of the two races and the most inclined to solve problems by force.
Hearing Wen Yan's question, the adults of the Yuanjiang faction looked at each other, and Angel looked at Wen Yan expectantly and adoringly, she knew that if His Majesty wanted to be reasonable, he must be demonstrating to himself how to use the royal road to control his subjects.
"In the past, the Yuanjiang River, within the dome, was full of hunting grounds of our clan, the human race was weak, and the new Yuanjiang River on the Jiangxin Island was all in danger, so what did Liu Yuanzhou, Yang Xiaoqian, and those human Yuanjiang factions do? Did they abandon Jiangxin Island, abandon Xinyuanjiang, and flee with their henchmen? Did they abandon their subjects and run away from the battle of their lives? ”
"They didn't! They have always stood on the city wall, in the defense line, even in the face of a million corpses, they will not retreat! You say that human beings are lowly and despicable, and you can! Then you tell me, the lowly and despicable human can still do not give up their subjects, why do you, as the representative of the Yuanjiang faction of my clan, actually say the remarks of giving up the territory and the subjects of the empire! ”
"You are also worthy of being a Yuanjiang faction?!"
"Listen up, the imperial walls are the final bottom line, my clan, don't retreat!"
