Chapter Fifty-Nine: Eloquence
Early the next morning, Bai Qi went to see the Archon, but what he had to do was exactly what Leo wanted him to do. He wants to persuade the consuls not to agree to the construction of Blackwater City, no matter whether there is a conspiracy behind this construction or not, it is never a good idea to hand over his most important and softest back to a group of fishmen.
The consul looked condescendingly at Bai Qi, who bowed and saluted, and asked lightly, "Are you here to persuade me to accept the construction of Blackwater City?" ”
Bai Qi shook his head and said, "No, Your Excellency, on the contrary, I have come to persuade Your Excellency not to accept the construction of Blackwater City. ”
The archon looked surprised and asked, "Why?" ”
Bai Qi recounted his doubts and speculations last night, and finally concluded: "Although the whole thing seems to be unlikely, it is unlikely that there is a conspiracy, but this proposal of His Excellency Sasen is a bad idea in itself, no matter what the reason, we can't completely leave the security of the Gray Fortress WWW.UUXS.CC, which is an important strategic location, to a group of fishmen." ”
The archon smiled with satisfaction and said, "It seems that you are not only a good soldier, but also a sober-minded soldier. ”
"Your speculation is not wrong, there is no problem with the remnants of the Aka fishmen, the problem lies with Blackwater City."
"Over the years, with the prosperity of Blackwater City, the rampant water thieves have posed a fatal threat to the trade and trade of various city-states, especially in the past two years, the proportion of merchant ships on the Suluo River has been plundered as high as 20%, and the losses caused by the looting have even approached half of the trade profits, and the number of Chosen Warriors killed in battle every year is as high as dozens, and it has even begun to affect the strength of the entire human city-state."
"For the human city-state. Blackwater City has developed from a problem of scabies to a problem of henchmen, and it has reached an intolerable stage. If it weren't for the orcs' impatience, maybe the human alliance would have entered the Blackwater Lake by now."
"For that. Sasen knew very well that he also wanted to integrate Blackwater City and let the water thieves in Blackwater City end their looting careers and become a new human city-state, but the water thieves who had long been accustomed to getting something for nothing and spending a lot of money were unwilling to make this change, and even the Blackwater Water Thieves under Sathan refused to make this change. ”
"The water thieves all think that with the black water swamp, no matter how powerful the human city-state is. There is nothing they can do, so they don't care about the threat of the human city-state, but the sober Sasen knows that the blackwater swamp is not a solid moat. ”
"Just like the secret passage from General Drake in your hands, there are actually countless natural passages to Blackwater Lake in the Blackwater Swamp, and the water thieves only have a small part of them, and Sasen knows this very well, but he can't convince the short-sighted shallow water thieves."
"I think the orcs are ready to move for us. It's bad news, but for His Excellency Sassen, I'm afraid it's a pleasantly surprised piece of good news. ”
"The cloud of war looming over humanity has forced the city-states to abandon their plans to eradicate Blackwater City first."
"Take advantage of this opportunity. Sassen desperately curryed favor with the city-states, and promised them that he would make meritorious deeds in the coming war and restrain the water thieves after the war was over. Transform Blackwater into a normal city-state. ”
"I think a lot of people are confused by him. Even I never thought that humans would collude with orcs and trolls. This has never happened before in the history of mankind, but the bad idea that Lord Sassen proposed to me suddenly reminded me that in the face of death, human beings often do incredible things. ”
"You just said that there is no benefit for Blackwater City to collude with the alien race, no, there is benefit, if the human city-state is completely defeated, they will also get rid of the fate of being exterminated."
Bai Qi was dumbfounded when the archon said this, and said incredulously: "Your Excellency, are you saying that the water thieves in Blackwater City colluded with the trolls and turned against the humans?" ”
The archon touched his chin lightly and said, "No, I think it's only Captain Sathan and a small number of water thieves who collude with the trolls, I said before that most of the water thieves don't think that the human city-states are capable of attacking Blackwater City, so how could they collude with Trolls with Sassen." ”
The consul's words were too shocking for Bai Qi, although he had always thought that he was more sophisticated and had a better understanding of people's hearts and human nature, but he still couldn't understand how anyone would ignore the entire race for his own selfish interests.
In Bai Qi's mind, if he is the Black Water Water Thief Sasen, if he encounters the current situation, at most he will leave Blackwater City with his most loyal brothers, and the human city-state will destroy the Blackwater City, not all the water thieves, the wide Suluo River runs through the human territory for thousands of kilometers, and the human city-state simply does not have the strength to sweep away all the water thieves.
Isaacsen is far beyond the strength of ordinary great warriors, leaving Blackwater City, no matter where he goes, he can be at ease, there is no need to do such a thing to betray the entire human race.
After being silent for a long time, Bai Qi digested the consul's words, he raised his head and asked bluntly, "Then what should we do?" Or rather, what do I need to do? ”
Since the archon was able to say this, Bai Qi believed that the other party must have a solution.
The archon tapped lightly on the armrest of his seat and said lightly, "Promise them." ”
"Promise them?" Bai Qi couldn't help but repeat the words of the consul, which undoubtedly showed that he was already a little unable to keep up with the consul's train of thought.
Fortunately, the Archon did not mean to murder his brain cells, explaining: "Yes! Although the scale of the Grey Fortress is small due to the limitations of the terrain, and it can only garrison a maximum of 2,000 soldiers, its sturdy form is absolutely undoubted, and if you want to rely on lowly creatures like fish-people to capture the sturdy Grey Fortress, you can only rely on surprise. ”
"Although the limestone mountain range is not as easy to climb as the Arare Mountains, which are known as the Guardian Wall, they are also a steep mountain range that can be called a curse, and there are a wide variety of dangerous magical creatures living in the mountains, even the powerful trolls can't climb a large number of them, and a small number of trolls can't pose much threat to the gray fortress without siege equipment."
"As long as we are prepared, one or two hundred fishmen, one or two hundred trolls, it is difficult to pose a deadly threat to the strong gray fortress without siege equipment."
"Based on the existing conditions, if Blackwater City really betrays the humans, then the strategy they can adopt is nothing more than to send the pro-troll fishmen and a small number of troll powerhouses to the Gray Fortress under the guise of the Acre family, and launch an attack on the Gray Fortress while we are defenseless, and at the same time, the troll clan's warships will go up the river, attack on both sides, and take the Gray Fortress."
"If such a plan wants to succeed, surprise is the most important thing, if we are prepared, the other side will not only not want to take the gray fortress, but if it is planned, we can also use our water superiority to crush the opponent's fleet."
Bai Qi thought for a moment and reminded: "Your Excellency, you didn't take the water thieves in Blackwater City into account, if I were Sasen, I would definitely send a part of the elite forces to approach the Gray Fortress along the corner of the limestone mountain and cooperate with the fishmen." ”
"No, no, no, there will be no water thieves, if Saxon can control the water thieves in Blackwater City to defect to the alien race, then he would have integrated Blackwater City long ago and turned it into the twenty-third city-state of the human race, and the only one who colluded with the alien race must be Sasen and his most loyal subordinates, or there are a few more sober minds who can clearly realize that there is no future water thief leader in Blackwater City."
Bai Qi thought for a moment and nodded in agreement with the archon's opinion.
The Archon continued: "What you have to do now is to try your best to convince me to agree to Blackwater's plan, and when you succeed in doing so, lead the envoy of Blackwater City to find that Kaka prince and match the two sides, and after that, your mission is complete, I don't think the people of Blackwater will ever let you meddle in the transportation of fishmen." ”
Although according to the consul's plan, there is no doubt that Prince Kaka has been pushed into the fire pit, but if this can be beneficial to the entire human race and his own mission, Bai Qi will certainly not hesitate.
After bidding farewell to the consul and leaving the patriarch's hall, Bai Qi couldn't help but let out a long sigh, which made him sigh not only the sinister human heart, but also the wisdom of the consul. (To be continued......) R1292
