Chapter 17: Turning over
"What do you say? It is absolutely impossible for us to accept peace talks with them, we absolutely cannot accept such coercion, if we accept it this time, we will be coerced even more in the future, and at that time, we will ......"
"If we don't accept their terms, we won't have that time, the empire will disintegrate, and we will be crushed." 12The man who looked very young in the council interrupted the man before him, and he did not mean to show any face to the other party, and did not wait for the other party to refute and then accuse the other party.
"Or maybe you want us to make a calm decision like we did before!" The word calm is pronounced emphatically, so that the whole sentence sounds full of irony, which is quite in line with their current situation.
At first, they intended to let the losers of the nobility deal a blow to the drifters, and then they could negotiate with the drifters, but after two days, they received new information that the drifters had successfully captured several important passes, and large southern cities had fallen.
At that time, they did not immediately change their strategy, although the situation seemed worse, but they did not think that the Wanderers could withstand the Imperial army, so now they were happy to see this change, so that the nobles would have to storm and greatly reduce their strength.
When the strength of both sides is reduced, he can kill two birds with one stone if he appears again. However, events did not unfold as they thought, and when they started, they were no longer faced with a combination of drifters and civilians, but with a well-trained army.
No matter how frantic their attacks were, no matter how many men they sent, they were ineffective, and even if they blasted through the walls of the fortress several times, someone would immediately come up with flesh and blood until new rocks filled the cracks.
It is not impossible to continue attacking in this situation, after all, from the situation of the battle, it seems that the opponent has fewer and fewer people to use. However, the unexpected happened.
There are two accidents: first, the fall of the Northland, not only the earldom, but the area north of the Great Wall of the Northland's desperate realm has completely fallen, so it can be said that the Northland is no longer in danger to defend, if you immediately mobilize a large army to set up a formation, you will be directly stabbed into the heart by the army of the Black King at any time; The second is that there was a serious accident in Orpheus, the pearl of the East Coast harbor, and the evolution plan was leaked, resulting in the destruction of the city by monsters.
The latter itself is not too important, it only needs to be planted on the Black King, or the Wanderer, as it should be. However, the Drifters have already passed on the image, especially the image they planted, which is quite troublesome, and it can basically be said that if this image spreads, then the top of the empire will face a great crisis.
Especially at this time of age, there are quite a few guys who have the ability to take their place.
"Then, we must throw away our glory and give away the efforts of our 12 councils for a hundred years!" The old man will never give in, he will never compromise, even when faced with their nominal leader, even if the other party's words sound right.
"Then die with your foolish glory." It was a conclusion rather than a threat, and as the rather young man spoke, the guard, who was supposed to be merely a decoration, moved, stepped behind the old man, and tugged at his spine.
"You, what the hell are you going to do!"
The others were frightened, at least most of the old-fashioned-looking guys were frightened, they definitely didn't expect that their lives would be decided in such a way on this occasion where they should have decided the lives of countless people by drinking coffee and eating snacks.
"What do I do?" A sarcastic smile appeared on the young man's face, "Isn't it just to help that guy find his glory and let him go and meet his ancestors." ”
"You...... You guys! ”
The rest of the people present realized that the person who looked young before and the people who supported him were all immortals, elves, goblins, dwarves, and the average lifespan of these guys' race was more than 300 years, and basically the flesh did not age until the last 50 years of old age.
They are the ones who have really worked with the last group of Drifters and are the founders of the 12 Councils.
"You now have two choices, either sacrifice with us for the survival of the empire, or sacrifice for the empire for the sake of its survival."
"We are willing to make sacrifices for the sake of the survival of the Empire." Although the faces of this group of people were still full of righteous indignation just now, when the men of the elf clan made a declaration, they immediately compromised, and the changes in the muscles on their faces were very smooth, and the anger did not have to disappear, it turned into helplessness for sacrifice.
"Very well, now let's take our sincerity and go and talk to the descendants of the previous king."
That's why the drifters saw that there were only 12 councils in 11, and one of them had turned into sincerity before them.
"I'm sorry, Your Highness, we didn't know that the Bai Feng family actually did that kind of thing in the first place, if it weren't for the fact that this time his conspiracy to create a genetic warrior was exposed, and we found some evidence when we caught him and raided his family, we didn't know that the original kings were actually assassinated by them."
"Is that so, was it he who did the original thing?" I have to say that Silver Kamen is a good actor, and when he talks about the past, a layer of redness immediately appears around his eyes, and it is by no means the kind of extremely bad performance that begins to burst into tears, but a depression that can be seen through his eyes.
"That way, they can rest in peace." Instead of crying and pestering like in the series, both sides know that what the other is saying is false, and all they are doing now is making the fake real.
"Now we need a unified empire, as well as a strong army, the Black King's attack has become more and more intense, with the current state of the empire, it is absolutely impossible to resist, and you don't want this country established by your relatives to be destroyed like this."
"Of course, since you have recognized our identity, then there is no need for us to fight you, but the previous actions of the empire have disturbed us, and I will lead the troops to the north with some of my companions to fight against the Black King with you, but my sister and others will stay here."
"This ......"
A nobleman wanted to say something, but was interrupted as soon as he spoke.
"Your Highness, we need to gather the strength of the whole empire to defeat the Black King, this is a fact that history has proven, and the Black King's special abilities are stronger than ours."
"I can't believe you." Silver Kamen paused for a moment before continuing, "The correct statement is that I can't believe in the existence of all the high-ranking people in the empire, since there is a precedent for the White Peak family, and the fact that the Earl of Northland has defected, I can't be sure how many people in the entire empire are determined to fight the Black King to the end, and how many people want to defect. “
"I must leave a seed for the Empire, and my sister and companions will run the Southern Territories, and they will be the last seed when we are betrayed or defeated, or when we need them, they will be a cavalry."
"This is indeed a good way, our nobles have been rotten for too long, and it would be purer for the Wanderers to build a reserve army."
This was the final result of the peace talks, Silver Kamen took Pang Zhihuafeng and others to the north with the nobles, and Pyrrha and CC and others stayed in the south to manage the territory.
"Why, why did we give the South to that group of outsiders, that is our territory."
"Stupid." The elven man didn't explain that this stupidity was not for the man who had just spoken, but for all of their natives.
We are all fools, and this is what he realized after the departure of the previous Drifters, who have mastered the technology left by the Drifters, but they cannot use it further than the Drifters, even if it is the study of evolutionary species, it is because of the information left by the Drifters.
Their minds are imprisoned.
"Hehehehe, purple, purple, look, your guys are aware of something."
The man with glasses that looked like the bottom of a bottle glanced down at the newspaper and saw the obvious headline, "Awakening?!" No more** vertical. "The accompanying picture is the picture of the elf man saying stupidity before.
"EASY, IT'S NOT YOUR PROBLEM, IF IT WEREN'T FOR YOU TRYING TO COMPLICATE THE GAME A LITTLE MORE, WE'D HAVE CLEANED UP THE SYSTEM BEFORE."
Wait, the other party couldn't be here just for such an inconsequential news, Zi adjusted his gaze and saw another report.
"During the succession ceremony of the empire, the prince was assassinated, and the Taros Empire fell into civil strife."
“EASY!”
However, he was the only one left in the entire passage at the moment.
