Volume III Alpine Tribes 041 Whisks: The Final Resolution
As the sun turned up, the armies of Shikoku once again gathered in the southwestern section of the Great Wall.
"How is it, have you thought about it?" asked the dwarven patriarch North as soon as he saw Councilor Whis, "There are so many of us, but we have been waiting for you for a day!"
Councilor Weishi looked at the generals of the three countries leading the army in front of him, and everyone was staring at him, waiting for an answer.
"We won't allow anyone to step into the Great Wall, this is the bottom line of the Ace Army, and we won't change it!" Councillor Wis said in a firm tone, "However, I can tell you one important piece of information that you all all want to know. ”
"What information?" asked Ilan's general, Ikana, "I hope your message won't disappoint us." ”
"The hunter you feared is gone. ”
"What do you mean?" asked the dwarven matriarch North, in surprise, "what do you mean it's gone, evaporated, or flown away?"
Councilor Weishi observed the reaction of the leaders of the three kingdoms, and Luo Lan and Ilan were surprised, but they were the initiators of the war, but the mountain people seemed very calm.
"They were attacked by an unknown enemy on the way to retreat, and their whereabouts are now unknown, but one thing is for sure, they are definitely not north of the Wall, that is, they left Ace. Councilor Whiss continued to speak to the generals of the three countries.
"Hmph, do you want us all to believe it just by your words!" the dwarven matriarch Noth immediately retorted, "You hid them and then said they were gone, this simple trick is like perfunctory to us?"
"I'll admit that before I came to the Great Wall, I knew that a certain kid had a special identity, but I didn't expect that he was a hunter. Councilor Whiss said frankly, "I only learned this information from you yesterday!"
"Ace's leader," Ikana said calmly, Ilan's general, "and now that the conflict is just around the corner, it doesn't do you any good to suddenly say such ignorant words, it just looks like a quibble." ”
"Believe it or not, that's all I know so far. Councillor Whiss still insisted, "The hunter is no longer in Ace. Also, Valanger has been on guard in the whole city since yesterday, and if it is found that there will be an invasion of other people on this grassland, the people there will stop the invaders even if they fight for their lives!"
"Cut, do you think our soldiers in Loland will be afraid of ordinary people!" said the dwarven patriarch Noth excitedly, "Don't try to scare me with those guys who can't even ride a war horse!"
"Loran, do you know why the Ace Empire was able to defeat Emoro a hundred years ago and bring light to this world again?" "Councilor Whiss looked resolute and glared at North, "Because every Ace has the blood of knights in their hearts! As long as their souls are still there, they will fight to the end!"
Hearing the words of Councilor Weishi, the Ace soldiers behind him swelled with blood in their hearts, and they shouted in unison the slogan that brought them light and hope:
"Sword is justice!"
Although it was only four simple words, it made the other three countries feel the determination and will of the Ace warriors, and at this moment, they could not be defeated.
"We are willing to accept your compromise with the most lenient attitude," Elder Bard of the Alpine tribe spoke, "Ace, I believe what you say, and your chivalry does not allow for lies. ”
"Hey, old fool!" the dwarven patriarch North was a little anxious, "just two words from him can send you away?"
"That's right, just by his words," replied Elder Bard very dryly, "our priority is to find the hunter, not to quarrel here, I'm tired of listening to your bickering, and I agree to withdraw my troops." ”
"Leader of the mountains, this is too hasty, isn't it?" Ilan's general, Ikana, was also puzzled, "Shikoku came all the way here, did you just listen to your words, 'The hunter left Ace'?"
"Remember, next year's Century Conference will be held on the Pato Plateau!" Elder Bard shouted, as if he wanted all the soldiers present to hear, "In the past hundred years, too much has changed in this world, if we want to continue to live in peace and stability, we must throw out distracting thoughts and reach a consensus! War is cruel, and once it appears, it will bring disaster that destroys the world and destroys the world!"
"Leader of the mountains, thank you for your willingness to put aside disputes and believe what I have to say," Councilor Whiss bowed slightly on his war horse in thanks, "No one wants to see war appear again in this wonderful land, evil thoughts are waiting in secret, just wait for the world to be in chaos, we must not let it succeed!"
"Did you collude last night?" the dwarven patriarch Noth still didn't give up, "how could it be possible to send away an army of tens of thousands of people in just a few words?"
"This is not a dismissal, Loraine!" reprimanded Councillor Whiss, "put away your temper and think about what the war will bring! Think of the nightmare you told me that day in the council chamber!"
Suddenly, everyone fell silent, as if the word "nightmare" made everyone sensitive. No one wants to go on this topic any more than anyone wants to expose evil thoughts from a dark corner.
"It seems that there are similar ominous signs in all countries. Eventually, it was Bard who broke the silence, "Now that everyone has foreseen something extremely dark, we should be more rational in our approach to war." The absence of the hunter in Ace indicates that the source of all evil has fled elsewhere, and we continue to quarrel now, which is a useless action, and will also encourage the growth of evil forces. The Takayama troops will withdraw their troops, and the next time we see you will be in the spring of the following year, and I hope that Shikoku will be able to work together on the Pato Plateau to solve the impending disaster!"
"Withdraw the troops!" Gobir, who was behind Bud, didn't say a word today, and after hearing Elder Bud's order, he led the army of the Goe clan to retreat.
"Hey, anyway, you shouldn't leave now until there's a result of the discussion!" the dwarven patriarch North's tone was a little more polite, "we should at least come up with a good way to decide what to do next, and then go our separate ways! Hey, don't go!"
"Well, don't stop them," said Ikana, the general of Ilan, "and they make decisions that foreigners can't easily change. They themselves are simple-minded, they can't stand the humiliation and directly wave their troops north, only to find out that they have done such a stupid thing and immediately withdraw their troops, isn't this what the mountain people look like?"
Councilor Whis listened to Ikana's words, but his heart disagreed. He could feel that the disappearance of the two children seemed to be the mountain people who knew a little bit of information, otherwise, their transformation in one night would be too great.
"Anyway, I'm still sticking to my point of view, if you can't prove that the hunter isn't in Ace, we can't leave easily!" "The dwarven patriarch North shouted to Councilor Whis, "I also discussed with the general of Ilan last night, we want to garrison the Great Wall!"
"Have you met in secret?" Councillor Whiss couldn't believe that they were secretly discussing countermeasures.
"What an idiot!" Ikana glared at North, cursing him in his heart, "It's stupid to say such a thing!"
North also seemed to realize what he had missed, and his eyes flickered, and he could tell that he was flustered.
"No... Anyway... This is a big deal, and it needs to be carefully discussed!" explained the dwarven patriarch North.
"Everything we Ace people say can stand the test of everyone, what about you!"
Councillor Whiss sensed that his opportunity had come, and he was not going to let go of North's own little tail.
"We... We can stand the test too..."The dwarven patriarch North said nervously, "We feel that at least the Great Wall must be divided! It must not be a barrier to the dialogue between the Three Kingdoms and Ace!"
"That's right, Ace, if you take the Great Wall into your own hands, the future dialogue between countries will be in a completely unequal position. Ikana added.
"So, how do you two want to solve this problem that has been discussed in private?" Councillor Wis looked at North and Ikana, both of them with a slight embarrassment on their faces.
"Luo Lan asked to guard the Great Wall in the southeast section, Ilan Town to guard the south section, and you Ace Town to guard the southwest section, these three sections are separated, we can help each other in the future operation to find the disappeared hunters, and you still guard the barrier with the high mountains, so naturally you don't have to worry about safety. ”
"But in this case, isn't the gate of my Ace open to you Elan and Loran?" said Councillor Whis, "It's like if I let Ace's soldiers sleep on the hills of your Loran, or on the Vita River in their Elan, and I believe it will make you sleep, right?"
"We've got our plan and you don't agree, so what can we do?" the dwarven patriarch Noth blushed abruptly, "Do you want to spend it here forever? I have thousands of soldiers of small races behind me! They are not easy to discipline!"
"I can keep your people on the Wall. Councillor Wis was ready to state his plan, "But, only for your sappers. The Great Wall has not yet been repaired, and it will take a lot of manpower, so I am grateful that you can come and contribute your part. But if I find out that your people are bringing any weapons into the country, I will let their souls fly back to their homeland!"
"You!" the dwarven patriarch North seemed unconvinced, "why should we help you build the Great Wall!"
"Then why do you occupy the Great Wall we have built!" Councilor Whiss drew his sword and pointed at North, "You have not contributed to Ace, but you have a vain nightmare dream to occupy Ace's territory, do you really think that the Ace people will make any compromise on sovereignty? The flowers and plants under your feet carry Ace's knightly faith, and they will devour your soul the next time you set foot on Ace's territory!" If you insist on starting a conflict, the warriors behind me will take up their swords without hesitation!"
North and Ikana no longer spoke, and there was indeed no reasonable excuse for their arrival, so there was no bargaining chip or confidence to get their hands on in the negotiations.
"Once you figured it out, you came to Vallange to find me. Councillor Whiss grabbed the reins and prepared to leave, "I don't want to stay on the Great Wall waiting for your news, the living conditions there are so bad. But your sappers are still welcome. Withdraw your troops!"
Watching Ace's army retreat into the Great Wall, North didn't know what to do.
"Withdraw our troops, the war has been successfully avoided, and our goal has been initially achieved. "Ikana is also ready to leave.
"But what about the Hunters?" asked the dwarven patriarch North, "he hasn't been caught yet!"
"Rest assured, as long as there is no war, there will be no stage for him to play. Ikana turned to look at North and smiled confidently, "If he is discovered in peacetime, he will definitely be hunted down by the world." ”
In this way, Ilan's army also left to the south.
"Let's go, little man!" The soldiers of the various clans behind him became impatient, and everyone had already left their positions and walked back.
North still froze in place, not knowing what to do, the sun was about to set, and he had to make a decision...
