XXVI. Conspiracy on the front line
"Master Otero, what's wrong with you?" the injured old man startled Kitt, how could he be like this in the afternoon, he was fine just now.
"It's okay, it's okay, the negotiation didn't go well, right? I said before, don't mention sending troops, Your Majesty won't agree. Otero coughed.
"That's true, but if we don't transfer the main force of the human race, we still don't feel at ease!" To put it bluntly, sending troops is just an excuse, and by transferring troops, the human race will not be able to tear up the agreement and sneak attack the rat people, and they can tie the human race to the chariot and ease the relationship between each other.
"Hmph, your father has an idea! If it weren't for the righteous face of the rat people, I wouldn't have mixed in this troubled waters. If you don't worry about us, will we be at ease with you? What if you tear up the agreement after the army is empty? Your Majesty, but your foresight and wisdom are extraordinary, how can you be fooled? Otero said angrily what he thought, he was still faithful!
"This!" the speechless Git really couldn't refute, this is actually the same reason, lack of basic trust, no one will take risks, no one can convince anyone.
"What do you think?" asked Git, looking down.
"Take Sadoron's territory, and in addition to food, the ore and materials for improving the geology must also be provided, so that I can persuade Your Majesty!" Otero also took the opportunity to make his suggestion.
"Impossible! Master, you also know that we are not qualified to divide the land at all, that is the right of the royal court, do you want us Mecro to rebel? Not to mention that we also need ore and materials, do you really regard us as the wronged boss! It's a big deal that this alliance will not be concluded!" "Hearing this, Git, who is still good-tempered, can't help it, your master is also a rat man! Forget it with the human race, and blackmail to the death! It's that everyone has fire!
"Then wait for your father's response!, by the way, bring him my reply, and let him think for himself!" Otero limped away, leaving Geet, who was full of solemnity, pondering.
"Great Your Majesty, your most loyal servant greets you!" Otero's tone became more respectful after the morning's events.
"Have you seen that little young man? You don't even want your life for this! Aren't you afraid that I will really kill you?" Li Xi is really curious, why is this little old man so backbone!
"Your Majesty misunderstood, his subordinates just gave them some new conditions, and they were also working for the benefit of the empire. Later, Otero told Li Xi everything about the conversation, and used this to prove his innocence.
Li Xi looked at him in amazement after hearing this, this old boy can be ruthless! If such conditions are the case, he can also be willing to send some troops, but how to ensure the defense of Sadoron is also a headache, and everything will be discussed tomorrow.
......
As more and more troops arrived, the kobolds on the front line also relented a lot, withdrew from the center of the royal court, and set up camps further north, and the two sides confronted each other. Although the pressure on the royal court is light, they still need to clean up the mess.
"You've teamed up with those brutes?" Vatova looked at Sost with a sinister expression, he was cruel and murderous, and he would do anything for power, but he wouldn't betray the nezumi because it was their roots.
"Young man, there are some things that you can't talk nonsense, do you want me to carry the black cauldron?" Sosteryun bounced back lightly, and wanted to splash dirty water without any evidence?
"You can deny it, I don't have any evidence, but if the royal court is liquidated, don't blame me for being sorry. Ignoring the quibble, Watuwa continued to ask for the answer he wanted.
"Liquidation? Hehe! Do I have to give up my family business to work for the royal court? I have given up a large area of land, and I have attracted many enemies. Isn't it wrong for me to do this? Besides, as soon as the mobilization order is given, I immediately sent my troops, what right does he have to accuse me?" Sost's reply made the speechless Watuwa put aside his hostility for the time being, and led the troops directly to the royal court.
Looking at the distant figure, Soster also understood that the alliance might have ended at this moment. But it doesn't matter anymore, he will become the new King Khan. Allies?
"Everything is arranged!"
"Yes, chief, the deployment map of the army has been given to the other side, and then the other side will attack the weak point and crush the royal court's reinforcements in one fell swoop. ”
"Very well, our army is also arranged!"
"Yes, according to your instructions, we have avoided the position of the battlefield, and the biggest reinforcement will be us at that time, and the royal court will also act according to our eyes. ”
"That's fine! They've been sitting for so long, it's time for a change, and if it weren't for their incompetence, the situation wouldn't be so dire. ”
"Chief, where is the Watwa?"
"When the plan kicks in, they'll be gone. ”
"Yes, Great King Khan!"
Sost's plan was also exposed, in fact, the kobold's large-scale invasion really had nothing to do with him, and he didn't dare to risk the world's condemnation to do such a thing. He wants to be the king of Khan, but a traitor will not get the support of the ministries, he wants to be the king in a righteous and upright manner.
So after the enemy invaded, his opportunity came. The army of the royal court was damaged everywhere in the confrontation, and his strength was greatly reduced, and he withdrew his troops in a timely manner, making the kobold even more unscrupulous, and tossing the originally prosperous royal court departments half to death.
It was at this time that he contacted the other party and expressed his intentions. The agreement is also very simple, it is the above content, after the deed is completed, the nezumi will cede a large area of land near the mountain range again, and the two will become friends and advance and retreat together. Of course, Sost was not so naïve, and most of the defenses he gave were the defense lines of political enemies, such as Mekro, Watuwa, and some of the larger tribes, which could eliminate political enemies and weaken the kobolds.
In addition, he had already integrated the surrounding tribes, and at that time he was gathering the leaderless neutral tribes to denounce the incompetence of the royal court and force him to abdicate. If it doesn't work, he will directly launch a coup d'état, anyway, at that time, the royal court has already lost the hearts of the people, and the ministries will not oppose it. But if he succeeds, he will be able to take advantage of the situation, and with the power that has not been affected, it will be enough for him to protect himself.
At this moment, I have to say that his old scheming has been used to the extreme, as if everything is under control. It's just that there really is no last resort in the world?
No, no, no.
In this game of enemies, political enemies, and the royal court, conspiracies have long been everywhere.
Who's calculating whom? Look at the providence!
And the departing Watuwa army did not go far and stopped, he looked at the Sost tribe in the distance with a sneer, as if looking at his own prey, his eyes full of greed and eagerly flocked to the target, as if the other party had already been a meal on the plate.
Proof? It's a joke! When do I need it? Lao Tzu says you have a problem, that's a problem! Wait! I'll clean you up in a while!
.....
Looking at the enemy camp in the distance, the eldest prince Jim's deep brows made him look more solemn, the situation did not improve significantly with the arrival of reinforcements, at most it only deteriorated temporarily. According to the information of the royal court, the number of enemies in this invasion has reached 100,000, which is the largest in a hundred years, and the harm is far greater than before, and the royal court is almost destroyed.
For now, on the opposite side of Mecro's camp, there are at least 15,000 enemies, don't think that your own side will be fine if you have the advantage in numbers, if you really fight, it will be a battle loss of two to one, and even more may reach three to one. Although 200,000 reinforcements have arrived, the situation is still not optimistic.
Wang Ting is still tapping his war potential, it is said that the headquarters has armed 50,000 people, plus the remaining two border regiments and the court guards, the number has reached more than 70,000 people, if the other three routes of the corps were not dragged down, the number of troops will be even more. Now both sides are looking for weaknesses in the temptation, and small-scale encounters are happening from time to time, and the accumulated strength is waiting for the fatal blow.
"General, Wang Khan has called a meeting of everyone! Please come and attend as soon as possible!" said the soldier who reported the news, and hurriedly ran over and said respectfully.
"I see, are Vatova and Sost here?" As the two biggest enemies, Jim never gave up his vigilance against them.
"General Hui, I have received a summons from the royal court, and Sost has set off and is expected to arrive in the evening. Watuwa is a little late, and may not arrive until midnight. ”
"Hmph, it's such a close distance, but it's the latest, they have a heart! Don't talk about it! Let's go!"
After a short time, the chiefs and generals of the various departments came to the palace one after another, saying that the main hall was just a gadget repaired on the human relics, and the grandeur and atmosphere depended on what it was compared to. Then one after another, the rat men stood respectfully on both sides, waiting for the arrival of King Khan Cipsen, and the purpose of the summoning was already well known to everyone, and they were all ready for war, and they could attack with the whole army as soon as they gave an order.
Sipson, who was in his 30s, slowly stepped onto the throne, he was so majestic and dignified, looking down on everyone below. At this moment, the taste of power always fascinates him, and the pleasure of overriding makes him unable to extricate himself. The longer it is, the more obsessed it is, and the more obsessed it is, the more nostalgic it is. Therefore, all beings that threaten his position must die!
"Are Wattova and Sost here?" said a slightly gloomy voice, expressing his displeasure.
"Back to King Khan, news has arrived, and they will not arrive until evening. A squire-like nezumi replied respectfully.
"Is this the style of our nezumi, and it's so disappointing for me to be so procrastinating when we are dying!"
"Wang Khan is angry, and when the enemy army is pacified, his subordinates will definitely capture two people and come to punish them!"
But it seemed that his brother Sipson didn't appreciate it, just nodded slightly and ignored the past, which embarrassed him, and after retreating, he was even more resentful in his heart, but he didn't dare to show too much. After being transferred out of the direct corps, he was already under the surveillance of his brother, and he already felt that he was in danger, and perhaps one day, he would be pressed to death and become an unknown corpse.
He doesn't want to die, he wants to get the throne! He's the master here! You're forcing me to do everything! Wait! My dear brother!
