Chapter 12: Infighting
Vivien frowned, if it weren't for the special situation now, she really had the heart to give that guy a flying kick. However, this is not the case at this time. Vivien held back her anger, she calmly looked at Hattori Mitsuki and said, "Why are you again?" β
Mitsuki Hattori was accompanied by an officer, the same officer who had witnessed the whole process of the hundred battles entering the armor. Mitsuki Hattori said, "My men told me that you took our war slaves from the battlefield. Naturally, I'm going to get my war slave back! β
"Your war slave? Is there any evidence that this is your war slave? Vivien asked angrily.
Mitsuki Hattori said calmly, "Vivian-sama, you don't want to cheat, do you?" β
Vivian said calmly: "You listen to me, he is my slave, I have proof." Who am I, you ask? You say he's a war slave, but apart from this rotten clothes, do you tell me he has the mark of a war slave on his body? Your Southern Fire Empire shouldn't brand war slaves, right? And do all your war slaves of the Southern Fire Empire speak the lingua franca of mainland communication? The Southern Fire Empire is really a big show! Then again, even if he is a war slave, he is what I picked up, and it is mine. It's my booty, that's the rule. Mitsuki Hattori, didn't your family tell you the rules of the battlefield before you went to the battlefield? Are you planning to unilaterally tear up agreements between countries? β
Vivien made the topic bigger with one sentence, making it very difficult for Hattori Mitsuki to step down. Vivien is right, there is no brand on Baizhan, and there is no evidence that Baizhan is a war slave. But Hyakjan can admit to himself that he is Vivien's slave.
Hattori Mitsuki smiled, he nodded and said, "Okay, it's just a war slave, it's worse than a dog." I'm just curious that a soldier who is willing to fall and be with a war slave will eventually degenerate geometrically. β
"It doesn't matter to you whether I'm falling or not, and you can't care about it. It's just that if you don't shut your mouth, I'll kill you right now. Try it if you don't accept it! Vivien said coldly, and a large group of soldiers of the Silver Moon Guard immediately surrounded her.
Xiang Bo said sharply: "Enough, Vivian, there is no need to quarrel over a war slave or a slave. However, you are a girl, you should pay attention to self-cleanliness, reputation is ...... for you"
"Okay, Senior Xiang, I have a fiancΓ©, please be respectful. I'll take care of my affairs myself, and I won't bother you. He's only a fifteen-year-old, so you'd better keep your hearts clean! With that, Vivien returned to her tent without looking back.
The rights and wrongs around beautiful women are always so cut and sorted out and messy, of course, Baizhan is not clear about these things. His assessment at the moment was only danger and peace.
Seeing Vivien gone, Rothel came over with his clothes in his arms, and he asked curiously, "Baizhan, what's wrong?" Bai Zhan shook his head, with his current emotional intelligence, it was obvious that he couldn't see what was going on inside.
Xiang Bo walked to Bai Zhan's approach, grabbed Bai Zhan's collar and said, "I finally remind you that it's better for cheap things to rot in your own circle, don't think about anything." β
Baizhan raised his head and wanted to make a move. Rosil seemed to see the clue, he coughed, and said calmly: "Lord Xiang Bo, please be respectful, he is a member of our Celestial Seal Empire." β
"Humph! We'll see! Xiang Bo let go of his hand, and then left angrily.
Seeing Xiang Bo leaving, Rosil handed over his clothes to Bai Zhan and said, "Change the rotten cloth on your body." β
Mitsuki Hattori on the side sneered and said to Rosil: "You'd better remember to me, it's not a good thing to provoke me on the battlefield. β
Rosil said calmly: "This adult, our Silver Moon Guard has been scared since childhood. You don't work. Hundred battles, let's go change clothes. β
"Oh!"
Bai Zhan followed Rothel with his clothes and entered the other tent.
As the saying goes, "people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles", Bai Zhan put on a new silver-white attendant suit, washed up again, and the whole person looked very good-looking.
Baizhan has long red hair, red eyes are shining, and her delicate appearance looks like a girl. It's just that the skin is fair and a little pale. It's a pity that Baizhan is a little short in height, of course, this is also for the sake of commercialization. The current image of Hundred Battles is the virtual shape of the game "Hundred Battles" back then. In order to cater to both male and female players, Baizhan's virtual appearance is biased towards the neutral Zhengtai Muyan. Back then, Baizhan was rated as the most beautiful CG virtual idol by major websites many times. Because of this, I don't know how many otaku and otaku have been sought after.
After Bai Zhan had changed his clothes, Rothel tied his hair back up. There is a very long strand of hair at the end of the back of the head of the hundred battles, which can be tied into a braid. In addition to changing into a new squire uniform, Bai Zhan also has an extra bracelet on his hand, which is a symbol of a high slave, representing that he belongs to someone. This bracelet is the one engraved with Vivien's name.
Rosil patted Baizhan on the shoulder and said with a smile: "It's not bad, you rest for a while, I have other things." We'll be ready to go in a moment. Don't mess around, you know? β
"Okay." Baizhan answered, and he continued to study his system. After all, adjusting the system is the most important thing for him at the moment. However, this silence will not last long, after all, the meeting point is not a safe point, and the next thing is to go to the safe point.
Before preparing for the operation, Vivien needed to meet with the other two captains, which was a necessary process. After all, to figure out what to do next, at least make sure that all your allies know it.
In the tent of the Chinese army, Vivian and Rothel were sinking like water, and Bai Zhan, who was standing behind and playing soy sauce, continued to think about his own affairs with a pensive look.
When Mitsuki's adjutant Hattori finished speaking, Vivien took the case and said angrily, "Don't you see the condition of my people? There's no way I'm going to gamble with my brother's life! According to the plan, the biggest responsibility for this battle should be borne by you, the southern continent! And until now, you have not given us a reasonable explanation. Why did we, who were originally reinforcements, become the front line?! How did your people run behind us? We have just experienced a catastrophe, and more than half of my Yanjia Regiment has been lost, and it is a blessing that I can come out alive, and I will not let the blood of others be shed in vain. Originally, our Celestian Empire has been confronting the giants. This time, I was only sent out after receiving a request for help from the allies. I have already sent someone to report the current situation, and I have been ordered to retreat. If you want to fight back, your southern countries will seriously organize a battle and counterattack. Don't make so many calculations anymore. Before the above order is issued, the order I have to carry out is to retreat! β
Xiang Bo sighed, and he opened his mouth to persuade, "I understand your situation. But Vivien, right now, even if you want to retreat, where are you going to retreat? The direction in which you plan to retreat is precisely where the Southern Fire Empire is stationed. β
Mitsuki Hattori answered at this time: "Hehe, but if you don't work, how can we help you evacuate?" β
Vivien looked at the two people who were singing and harmonizing, she held back her anger and did not explode, her hands clenched into fists and said, "From the beginning, you didn't plan to let us out!" Am I right? The calculation of the southern countries is to let our reinforcements be the main combat strength, and the troops of the southern countries will be the decisive harvest force. Once this place is captured, the southern nations will quickly occupy their own territories. Your mission with the Red Wolves is not to fight off the giants, but to take possession. As for the expulsion of the giants, it is up to us other empires to deal with it. Especially our Celestial Cullinan Empire! β
Vivien's angry rhetorical question left Mitsuki Hattori with nothing to answer. He looked up at Vivien and said very naturally, "So what? That's right, it's our Southern Fire Empire that intends to use you. Didn't you also want to take the opportunity to get a piece of the pie before you came? Don't you want to work when you get a share of the benefits in the Celestian Empire? And even if you don't help us, the retreat can only take this way, and you have no other choice. β
"Not really." Just when Vivien was running out of words, Bai Zhan suddenly spoke.
Xiang Bo said coldly: "When can such a place allow such a cheap thing to speak out?" β
Vivien said unceremoniously, "If you talk like that again, senior, I'll think you're attacking us." β
"Vivien, please keep your head up!"
"I'm sober, senior. Now he is my squire, my man! Whether you like it or not, behind him is our Silver Moon Guard. If I hear any more personal attacks, it will be considered an attack on us. After Vivien finished speaking calmly, she gestured and whispered, "You go on." β
"Well, based on the available information and data, as well as the prediction of the giant's movements, our evacuation route should not be to the south, because it is not safe there. To the south is to jump into the encirclement of the enemy. We're going to take the north, and that's where we go. We can go around the crater, go along the crater perimeter, and do a few more detours. In this way, we can safely return to the Cullinan Empire. Baizhan said as he pointed his finger on the map.
After Mitsuki Hattori heard this, he laughed out loud: "Hahaha! You guys, to the north? What is North Side? It's Dingguo Canyon, what are you going to do? Attacking the giant's lair? β
There is a giant crater mountain range in the central continent, and this giant crater has only one entrance, which is the "Dingguo Canyon". "Dingguo Canyon" is very long and narrow, and at the same time very narrow. Because of this, it is difficult for truly powerful giants to come out. So the vast majority of the mighty giants are inside the crater. Only a few giants one size smaller came out. And the real threat and scourge is the interior of the central continent. Once those huge and powerful giants in the Dingguo Canyon come out, a large part of the human armor will directly become waste. And humanity has to pay more costs and casualties.
Bai Zhan said calmly, "It's far safer there than here. The giants now concentrate their forces on both sides and detour directly to our rear line. The front line of the giants is nothing more than a feint, and the real force may be reached in three days, perhaps in less time. If you fight here, you will be dumplings made by the enemy. Didn't run. β
Mitsuki Hattori said calmly and contemptuously: "It's nonsense......"
Xiang Bo was even more angry and angry: "It's just a fart!" There are twelve of you in all, and you are not going to the north to seek death? β
Baizhan was as calm as ever, and he calmly pointed to a few points on the map and said, "There have been battles here, here, and here. And in the clues we have, some giants use gunpowder instead of cold weapons. This shows that the giants have concentrated their main forces and secret weapons in the south, and they have decided that we will not march north, so our north side should be empty or very weak. As soon as we jump out of this weak line of defense, then we can enter the gap in the rear of the enemy. Interspersed there is the safest option at the moment. β
"Nonsense! How could a giant master gunpowder. If they had used explosives, we would have been doomed a long time ago! Xiang Bo's adjutant couldn't help but say angrily.
At this time, Vivien opened her mouth and said, "As for the gunpowder, we at the Silver Moon Guard have discovered a place where the convoy was attacked, and there are traces of the use of large gunpowder weapons. We can therefore infer that some giants already had access to gunpowder. As for where the ore convoy came from, someone must have the most say. As she spoke, Vivien kept staring at Mitsuki Hattori.
It's as if he doesn't know anything, and he doesn't say a word. Just a tepid smile.
Bai Zhan said calmly: "As far as I know, you don't know what kind of giant is in the Dingguo Canyon, and so far there is no definite information that can confirm what kind of giant it is. You don't have the slightest information about their ethnicity, their customs, or their level of civilization, am I right? According to my calculations and calculations, the best way for us is to go around behind enemy lines and take a circuitous route that is interspersed with great intersperses. Go around the front of the enemy and march behind the enemy. If possible, you might be able to come across some battles and achieve unexpected results. β
Mitsuki Hattori was obviously disdainful: "What nonsense! Behind the enemy, that's a joke with life. β
"In my database, there have been countless battles like this. The enemy's rear is where the enemy is most assured and where the defense is weakest. Their forces are deployed in the front, the rear is empty, and our area of activity is much larger than the front. And the damage behind enemy lines is also very serious. Only by creating enough destruction can the giants be threatened and shrink their forces. As long as we jump out of their shrinking encirclement, then there will be a glimmer of life on the frontal battlefield. β
"Who will believe you in this kind of nonsense?" Xiang Bo asked coldly.
Vivien looked at the map, and she said calmly, "I believe him!" Rosel, immediately inform the armourers to assemble, and we begin our march north. β
"Yes!"
"Vivien! Are you playing with human life? Why would you rather trust a war slave and talk nonsense here? Don't believe what I say either? Xiang Bo anxiously stood up and asked.
Vivian turned her head and said tepidly: "Senior Xiang, I used to have a lot of respect for you, but now this respect has been trampled on by you. Respect is relative. And don't think you know me well. As a commander, keep a clear mind at all times, this is the battlefield. Our first priority is to carry out our mission and survive. For me, nowhere is the battlefield really safe. I trust my subordinate, because he is very calm and analytical, and I believe that he is my rational judgment. As you said, don't be swayed by emotions, Senior Xiang! β
