Volume 1: Moonlight Chapter 31: A Difficult Choice (Part II)

"I think so, Your Excellency the Third Prince!" suddenly Yi Tian said.

"Oh, the commander-in-chief has finally spoken!" the third prince looked at Yi Tian playfully.

"Don't hide it from Your Excellency the Third Prince, if you want all the iron skills, it is undoubtedly impossible, but partially, maybe we can accept it. ”

"Part?" the Great Prophet asked rhetorically, "how much is the Commander-in-Chief?"

Yi Tian turned his head to look at Yueshi, his face expressionless, his eyes slightly closed.

It seems that I am in charge by default, and a smile hung on the corner of Yi Tian's mouth.

"What do you think of 40% of the technology now?"

"That's too ..............."

"Your Excellency the Third Prince, this is already our bottom line, you should also know the importance of wrought iron technology to you and us, if you still keep the lion open your mouth, then we will only see you on the battlefield. Yi Tian didn't show any mercy to the third prince.

At this moment, at this moment, although the surface of the conference hall was calm, the bigwigs present had different calculations in their hearts.

Yueshi still has his eyes slightly closed, although he looks calm on the surface, but his heart is already surging at this moment.

Si Ruian looked at the uncertain face of the third prince, and prayed silently in his heart.

The Left-handed King was ready to hand over all the wrought iron techniques from the moment the Great Prophet spoke, and at this moment, in his opinion, 40% of the techniques were already blessed by the goddess of emptiness, and the best choice.

And the king of Zhengnan, who was on the right side, was extremely calm at this time, although he couldn't see what he was thinking, but his left hand, which was holding the hilt of the sword, could still see the resentment in his heart.

King Zhenheng on the left whispered to his subordinates, as if he was conveying something.

The old prophet looked at Yi Tian with a smile on his face, knowing that he had fully recovered, and leaned over and whispered to the third prince, "Yi Tian has mastered the situation and can end it." ”

"Hahahahahaha!!" the third prince looked up to the sky and laughed, "The commander-in-chief is so bold, since he insists on it, then I have no choice but to agree." ”

"Huhu ..............." Yi Tian breathed a long sigh of relief, "Thank you to the three princes, and as for the grain and grass part, it will be taken and demanded, and there will be no limit." ”

Just when everyone thought that the peace talks were over, the old prophet suddenly stood up.

"We have one more request, though. ”

"Ahh

"Since you have only partially fulfilled our first condition, we should demand compensation. ”

"What. Yueshi finally spoke at this time.

"In order to be able to discern whether you have provided the correct wrought iron technique, and to better disseminate it, I hope that His Majesty will send a man to our orc clan until we are proficient in it. The old prophet uttered this long line of words slowly.

Although the speed of speech is slow, the effect can be said to be significant.

Although the words of the old prophet are called guests, in essence, everyone knows that this is a captive, and it is also the category of life and death unknown, who can guarantee that they can survive in the beast clan?

"Your Excellency, this request may not be sufficient for you, but I can assure you that the wrought iron technology provided by our country is absolutely 100% flawless. ”

"Your Majesty, you don't seem to have much leverage to refuse our request in this situation!" the old prophet looked at Yueshi playfully, hum!

"Your Excellency Prophet, please don't go too far!" Yi Tian couldn't help it, in fact, in his opinion, if the third prince had to have a blacksmith, he might as well give it to him. A blacksmith is really nothing compared to the peace of Granton as a whole.

"Hmph! I hope you can think carefully about which is more important and then answer. The old prophet did not back down on this.

"Your Majesty, if we collapse on this matter, the current situation will be very unfavorable to us. Yi Tian turned around and whispered to Yueshi.

Yueshi didn't speak after listening, and after a long time, he nodded slightly.

"Your Excellency, on behalf of Your Majesty, I agree to your request, and we will appoint a senior alchemist to accompany you. ”

"Hahaha, thank you for your Majesty's accommodatingness, but I'm not asking for an alchemist?" the old prophet once again dismissed Yi Tian's suggestion.

"Then what do you want?" exclaimed King Zhenheng.

The old prophet looked at Yi Tian playfully, "I just need ——————"

Yi Tian looked at the old prophet's smiling face, and a sense of fear that he had never felt before spontaneously appeared.

"You !!!," the old prophet's dry hands pointed straight at Yi Tian.

"Ah!!!" Yi Tian was stunned again, although he had a hunch, but this was too much beyond his expectations.

At this moment, the entire chamber was in an uproar.

"Teacher, why do you want him?" the third prince was puzzled, what did he want a child to do.

The old prophet responded with a look that would explain later.

"What!" Xiaoyun blurted out, he never thought that an orc would take his son as a hostage.

Yueshi opened his eyes, what is the situation, it is Yitian who wants!

"What do you mean!!" A man who looked like a general was shocked when he heard this.

"What did the Minotaur think, he would ask for our commander-in-chief.................."

"No, the commander-in-chief shouldn't know wrought iron, right?"

"You're stupid, it's not a problem with wrought iron, it's ..............."

The entire chamber continued to boil.

"Looks like heaven will help me," said the Left-handed King with a smirk, he was worried about how to weaken the Nast family, and now this was exactly what he wanted.

"What the hell are you going to do!!" In the eyes of Sruian, who knew the inside story, the three princes and the old prophet were inexplicable, didn't they all discuss it? Didn't they say that they would agree on the two conditions? Isn't it...............

As the person concerned, Yi Tian has recovered from the shock at this moment.

Looking directly into the eyes of the old prophet, the firmness in the smile seems to be real, but what does the third prince want me to do? Don't tell me that it is wrought, this TMD is just a disguise.

"Ahem," the old prophet said, looking around, "Your Majesty, what do you think?"

"I can't say yes, Your Majesty!!" Xiaoyun was the first to jump out.

"Poof!" Srian knelt down on the ground for the second, "Your Majesty, please think twice, once the commander-in-chief becomes a hostage of the orcs, then even if we win this battle, we will not be able to raise our heads in front of other countries in the future!!!!!"

"Your Majesty, the hostages are a matter of great importance, and they cannot be arbitrary!!" Darsil obviously did not approve of this move either.

Looking at the various important ministers who knelt on the ground, Yueshi was also entangled in his heart.

When he was about to set out on the expedition, his baby daughter Yuelun was pestered to come to the front line, wanting to see how Yi Tian was doing, and now once he agreed to this request, no matter what would happen to the Nast family, even his own daughter would probably hate him to death.

Looking at the scene in front of him blankly, Yi Tian's heart was like a knife, his beloved father, his brother to death, and even Darsil, who couldn't even beat eight poles, were working hard for himself.

Why? ..............................Why?

Looking at the chaotic meeting hall, the old prophet stared at Yi Tian, hum! I didn't expect it, you can't escape now.

"Smack!" Yue Shi slapped the large wooden long round table heavily, "Give me silence, Your Excellency Prophet! Your request is too abrupt, can you make me think about it all night and give you an answer tomorrow?"

"Hahaha! Since His Majesty has said so, wouldn't it be a shame for you not to say yes? The old prophet readily agreed.

As soon as the words fell, the third prince swaggered out of the main gate with the old prophet.

"Huh..............." As soon as the third prince walked on his front foot, Yueshi, who was originally tense, sat down weakly.

Waving his hand, "That's it for today, let's disperse!" Obviously, Yueshi was already very tired at this moment, not only the harsh conditions of the old prophet, but also everything that had happened these days seemed to have exploded at this moment.

....................................

"Yitian!! Yitian!!!" Srian shouted and barged in.

"Big brother, what's wrong!" In the time after the end of the council chamber, Yi Tian had silently planned everything.

"What's going on with the damn Minotaur, it's not our script. Srian frothed at the mouth and cursed.

"Big brother, don't be so excited. Yi Tian looked as still as water.

"How can you still be so calm, do you know that the hostages from other countries on the continent who went to the orcs in the past ended badly, I will never agree to this kind of death, I will definitely not let the minotaur's conspiracy succeed." ”

"Maybe it's an opportunity?"

"What do you mean?"

"Regardless of the outcome of this war, I think my family's position in the post-war kingdom will definitely plummet, not only because what I do will make the Emperor wary of my family and the Blue Wolf Legion, but also because the Left Rotation King will never let go of this good opportunity to further suppress my family. At that time, not only me, but also my father, even the entire family, and the entire Wolf Legion will be struggling in Granton. Yi Tian looked at Si Ruian and breathed a sigh of relief, "And for the time being, regardless of what the Minotaur Prophet wants me to do, as long as I personally agree, the Emperor will inevitably feel guilty about me in view of the fate of the hostages in the past, then I can make certain requests at the right time to protect my family." ”

"Then, aren't you sacrificing too much?"

"Isn't it all because of me, I am doing my salvation for my family, otherwise I will be ashamed of my father for the rest of my life. Yi Tian said with a slight stump.

"I will never agree to this kind of life-or-death thing. Srian never expected this generous statement to come from a teenager under the age of 16.

"Don't be so frustrated! I think that the Minotaur Prophet suddenly made this request eighty percent of the idea of the three princes, I guess they still need my help with something, big brother, you can rest assured, there are three princes in the beast clan covering me, who dares to hurt me! I can come back after a few years with a random excuse! It's just that I can't rest assured that she ..................."

"He/she?" said Srian looked at Yi Tian with a puzzled expression.

Yi Tian didn't answer, but looked in the direction of the royal capital with a gentle face........................

Maybe we'll never see each other again, maybe I won't be able to keep my promise to you, maybe you'll forget about me, maybe you'll ...........................

I just want to do one more thing for you before leaving, one more thing for your father, for you and for my family, I have no regrets..............................

The small town of Bastino is somewhere in a secret room

It was a small room forty or fifty square, with several magic lamps swaying, a long round table made of lacquered mahogany, and several figures swaying back and forth.

"Squeak!" the sound of the wooden door opening.

The Emperor of the Moon World, the King of Zuoxuan, the King of Zhengnan, the King of Zhenheng, the Minister of Military Affairs, and ......... Father.

Almost all the major decision-makers in the Kingdom of Granton are here.

"Yi Tian ..............." Emperor Yueshi seemed to be unable to face Yi Tian's eyes at this moment.

It seems that my fate has already been arranged.

Yi Tian's heart was desolate at the moment, but he was relieved in a blink of an eye, because he knew that now was not the time to be sad.

"Your Majesty," Yi Tian forced himself to squeeze out a smile, "all of this is because of a major mistake in my strategy, I am willing to pay all this responsibility, and I am willing to abide by all the treaties with the beasts, I .................."

"Enough, son, it's not your fault, you don't need to be like this, you .................." The general couldn't stop chopping, he didn't want to lose his precious son.

"Father............ Will you let me finish?" Yi Tian looked at his father's old face and cried.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to go to the Orcs as a hostage, but I hope Your Majesty can promise me a few conditions. ”

"Presumptuous, you deserve this punishment for treason in the first place, and now you dare to bargain with Your Majesty. The Left-Handed King jumped up and shouted.

Almost at the same time, King Zhengnan and King Zhenheng took the case.

"King Zuo, you have gone too far, after all, is it necessary to charge such a big crime as treason as a child?"

"Hmph! You also said this, why didn't you see you so powerful and domineering when the orcs challenged under the castle!!!

"You .................." the left-handed king was dumbfounded.

Yi Tian ignored the provocation of the left-handed king and stared straight at Yueshi.

After a long time, Yueshi finally spoke.

"O God, if you have any requests, just say it, and think of it as my last contribution to your Nast family. ”

"Your Majesty, I only have two conditions, the first is to give the entire Nast family a certain amount of immunity, and not to cause any trouble to my family or the Blue Wolf Legion because of me or because of this war. ”

"I can promise you this request, once you go to the orcs, then this war will stop because of you, your family will not only not become sinners but will become heroes, heroes will not be subjected to any difficulty, and the Blue Wolf Legion will still be our country's ace army, I will increase military supplies, armaments, and there will be no slack. ”

"Yi Tian, don't say it, our entire Nast family can't bury a child's life like this! What's more, you are still my son....................." Xiaoyun didn't expect that his son would choose the family and sacrifice himself in the face of a choice.

“...... Father, "Yi Tian held back tears" The second request is about me......... I don't want Yuelun to know about me going to the Orc Clan as a hostage............... Your Majesty, tell me that I died in the battle to defend the kingdom............ I don't want anything to happen to her because of me............ Perhaps, my death will be the perfect ending of all this..............." Yi Tian said that he had already stopped crying.

"I ...... I promise you, I won't let Yuelun know about it. Yueshi was also a little choked up at the moment.

"Is this the only way to solve things..............." Looking at this scene, Dasil was full of emotion, he didn't expect Yi Tian to be such a person who sacrificed his ego and completed his big ego, and he was shocked by a great act that he shouldn't have at his age.

For the sake of the family, for the sake of the people you love, you would rather sacrifice yourself to cast all this, what a kind of discipline this is.

King Zhengnan couldn't help but sigh, why is it rare for such a proud son of heaven to appear in the kingdom, but now he is about to die, why? Why? Why!!!!

King Zhenheng sighed while supporting the grief-stricken general, the Nast family has been saved, but what about you? Why does a 15-year-old child have to go through this? Why should the fate of the entire family be placed on the weak shoulders of such a 15-year-old child?

....................................

The night was low, the blue moon was dim, and the churning dark clouds were surging in layer by layer, gradually obscuring the entire sky.

The night is deeper, and it is colder.

Walking on his legs, which seemed to be infused with thick lead, Yi Tian moved to his door step by step.

Enjoy this last night of freedom!

Yi Tian pushed the door in, and the dark room instantly brightened, and a figure stood tall.

"How could you .................." Yi Tian's eyes widened.
