Two hours later, Tie Slag met Jiang Xiao in the underground command center of the 25th war zone. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

This is a personable old man, dressed neatly in the uniform of a general, with medals on his chest, with a modest and polite demeanor and a warm and sincere voice. He invited Iron Slag to sit down in the living room, then stepped back and made tea himself.

While cleaning the tea set with tweezers, he said to himself, "More than seven hundred years ago, our ancestors crossed the ocean and set foot on the land of the Northern Wilderness Continent. ”

"Since then, it has taken root and spread out."

"But we have never forgotten that our roots are in the Far East."

Speaking of this, Jiang Xiao raised his head, glanced at the iron slag, and continued to lower his head, fiddling with the tea set, "Your grandfather and I have been friends for more than 20 years. ”

"Although ......," he paused slightly, revealing a bitter smile, "the way we got along was a little unsatisfactory, but overall, our cooperation was very pleasant. ”

"I hope you don't have any grudges." He stopped, faced the iron slag, and said seriously.

"I'm sorry......" Iron Slag shook his head and said calmly, "I can't. "The four families of Silver City 13 imprisoned Limestone at the bottom of the prison, and used the safety of his grandchildren to force him to advise them. Twenty years of dark life have caused Limestone's body to age rapidly, and his strength has decreased significantly. This torture is not something that can be erased with a fluttering word.

"I deeply regret this incident, and I don't intend to excuse my behavior, I just did it, and I don't regret it." Jiang Xiao put the tea leaves into the teapot and said, "When you have the ability one day, arrest a few of our old men, wherever you like to be locked up, and for as long as you like, we will recognize it." ”

"But what......" he smiled at the iron slag, "compared to the old things, we should help each other more now, who wants us to be all from the Northern Wilderness?" Then he said, "Besides, you and Xiaoyu and Xiaoqing are all members of your own family, even if there is any conflict between us, we shouldn't let outsiders take advantage of us, do you say?" ”

Iron Slag snorted and didn't speak.

"It's a good thing to be young and vigorous." Jiang Xiao poured boiling water into the teapot, washed off the first one, then poured two cups, and pushed one of the cups in front of the iron slag, "I am both from the Northern Wilderness and the Far East, and I was born to stand on your side, I hope you can understand." ”

"You're a territorial nobleman." Iron slag said sharply. The camp is determined by interests and is immutable.

"Layton Shiros, isn't he a territorial nobleman?" Jiang Xiao asked rhetorically.

Iron Slag was silent for a while, picked up the teacup and took a sip, then said, "Seriously, I don't understand where my value is. "No matter what the other party says, he is also one of the nobles of the eight major territories of the thirteenth silver city, so there is no need to show favor to him at all.

"I say I'm from the Far East, and I support the glorious faith, but you don't believe it. So I changed the reason, Xiaoyu is likely to become the next moon prayer sacrifice, and Xiaoqing may become the next rain prayer sacrifice. Jiang Xiao smiled and asked, "Do you think this investment is reasonable?" ”

"I see." Iron Slag nodded.

"I have 30,000 people here, and I can accept your dispatch at any time." Jiang Xiao said.

Iron Slag was suddenly startled, and his face changed unpredictably, because the meaning of this sentence was obvious, not cooperation, but with him as the leader. After a long while, he said, "Is this what Mu Yuqin's heart means?" ”

"No......" Jiang Xiao shook his head, "That's what I meant." ”

A moment later, just as Iron Slag boarded the aircraft and returned to the camp, the second round of military meetings on the Golden Battleship finally came to an end.

At the meeting, despite the strong opposition of General Miro Field, the order to "increase the settlement of combat merits by 50 percent" was adopted.

When the news reached the aurora plane, it was as if a storm had blown by, setting off huge waves, and the mercenaries rushed to the other side of the river as if they had gone crazy. Even the veteran oilman began to be unable to sit still, and packed up one after another and contacted the aircraft.

This order means that the higher authorities have the certainty to end this war in a short time. I'm worried that I'm going late, and the scraps are gone.

Iron Slag was hesitating to cross the river with the current, when he received a message from Eva that Mu Yuqin had passed on from his heart, with only four words: "Hold your ground." ”

The flames of war spread rapidly, and the entire snowfield was boiling. The mercenaries who crossed the river pounced on the demon-controlled area like wolves, and under the encouragement of high rewards, they launched attacks on the nearby demon tribes.

Rockets and bullets lit up the sky, and blue thunder spears pierced the night sky. The battle was fierce, and every minute and every second people died, and the broken limbs were scattered on the snow, and the ice was stained red with blood. Fortunately, in terms of numbers, the mercenaries had a huge advantage. As the war turned incandescent, the Purple Pupil Demon Clan was defeated one after another. In just a few days, the human camp had advanced thirty kilometers north of the Stygian.

The good news flew back to the Silver City world like snowflakes, through the streets and alleys, and people became more fanatical about the war. Newspapers, magazines, and news media are clamoring every day to drive the demons back to their lair. Mercenaries poured into Skadi's Gate all the time, for fear of missing a good opportunity to make a fortune.

A new round of military meetings began again, and the radicals led by the "little monster" Randall Crimmans, Nordin Modleton, and Matthew Gresham, the three chosen ones, once again proposed that the ground garrison cross the river at full speed and enter the north bank of the Stygian River to prepare for the next step, the general battle.

In this meeting, General Miro Field, who had always been at odds with them, did not appear at the table.

Two days ago, the gendarmerie suddenly stormed his office in Fengsha Castle and arrested him on seven charges, including "bureaucratic style," "dereliction of duty," "embezzlement of military funds," "accepting bribes," "keeping prostitutes of children," "secretly trading strategic materials with foreign races," and "collaborating with the enemy and betraying," and sent him to the notorious deep-water prison to await the verdict of the military court.

With the experience of General Miró, at the meeting, the commanders of the various theaters of the ground garrison were reluctant to raise objections.

At this time, Marshal Samaranch, who had rarely spoken, made his opposition clear and won the support of Acting Field Marshal Eva Green.

After the meeting, when Shirley and Eva talked, she asked, "Won't the Chosen One judge the situation?" According to her understanding, crossing the river at this stage, if the demon army counterattacks back, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"They are the chosen ones who control the future, and of course they understand these simple truths." Eva said.

"Then why are you still ......," Xue Li looked puzzled.

"Their eyes are not on this war." Eva said slowly, "They want more long-term benefits......

"In this war, the worst situation is just that the humans and the demons face each other from the north and south, and rule across the river,"

"They can only do what they want to do if they get into the chaos as soon as possible." Eva accentuated her tone and said, "For example, to eliminate dissidents, and to install henchmen." ”

"You're saying they don't care if they win or lose this war?" Shirley was surprised.

"Not exactly......," Eva said, shaking her finger, "I should say that they are more concerned about the future distribution of power. ”

"For this, they can sacrifice everything that has nothing to do with their interests." Eva gave an example, "For example, millions of mercenaries, garrisons. ”

"Oh my God......" Shelly exclaimed, "how could they do this! ”

"It's not surprising that, in their eyes, human life is nothing more than a set of data." Eva commented.

After another three days, the mercenaries advanced sixty kilometers north, and the three Chosen ones offered again to let the garrison begin to cross the river.

The supreme commander of the ground garrison, Field Marshal Samaranch, and the acting field marshal of the Dawn Expeditionary Force, Eva, both objected. But during the intermission, Eva received a letter.

The letter was sent from Elk City's Strategic Resource Repository and was sent by a junior military officer.

There was only a note in the envelope, which was the approval slip for her private call for the 100,000-ton Star Treasure Diamond. Looking at the familiar handwriting, she fell into a long contemplation......

The Chosen One's eyeliner is everywhere and can't be prevented. Even the closest people around her may be the dark line of a certain force, or they may be bought with a lot of money, and loyalty will always have a price.

In the ensuing meeting, Eva went against the norm and switched to the radicals. Samaranch was alone and finally passed a resolution to cross the river unexpectedly.

At 8 a.m. on DR3717-05-11 in Silver City and 25 p.m. on Skadi time, the ground garrisons in each theater began to cross the river on a large scale. Tens of thousands of mechs were transported to the other side of the river, where steel defense lines were organized on the empty snowfield.

At this time, Yang Yong of the Green Bee Mobile Corps, the bearded man of the Red Scorpion Mercenary Legion, and Bai Xiaotian of the Seven Killing Corps couldn't bear it anymore and proposed to Mu Qianhe to cross the river.

The situation is already very clear, and the upper authorities are preparing for a general battle, and if they don't go over, they won't be able to reap any benefits.

Iron Slag waited for another two days, but still didn't wait for Eva's instructions, and his heart began to get anxious. He came here to earn merit and fill the void of the Star Diamond. Judging from the current situation, if it drags on any longer, the battle may be over. So he called in Mu Qianhe and ordered the river to be crossed.

And at this moment, Eva, taking into account her own situation, did not dare to contact him through Mu Yuqin's heart. lest communications be intercepted and his whereabouts revealed.

These Chosen One, once they find the trail of the Thunderhammer Thieves, will concentrate all their firepower and snatch the Thunderhammer. Unlike You Ge, they don't show mercy to Iron Slag's subordinates, and they don't have many concerns. They were originally You Ge's opponents, and as long as they caught her flaws, they would attack desperately until they pulled her off the throne of the princess.

In order to protect the iron slag, Eva had to remain silent.

At twelve o'clock in the morning Skadi time, the Ironslag Quadripartite began to cross the river. A large number of aircraft took off and landed in the camp, transporting troops, supplies and vehicles to the other side.
