Chapter 69: Stabilizing People's Hearts

"Hahaha, Mr. Arthur, your worries are really unnecessary, the current situation is much better than you imagined, otherwise do you think that we people are still in the mood to talk here? I know what you are worried about, indeed, the disaster of the return of the dead more than a hundred years ago has left too much pain in the world of Yara, but this time is different, have you forgotten what the deputy head of the Free City Garcia said just now? This time, the door of death is reopened, and everyone has long been prepared, and it will no longer be unsuspecting by the undead as it was back then, so it is absolutely impossible for the tragedy of the year to be repeated. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info haha, even if you don't believe me, old man, you should believe Lord Garcia, he is the head of the liaison department of the coalition forces stationed in Free City, and what he said represents President Kara of Free City, with the prestige of President Kara, it is more credible than speaking as a young man like me. ”

"No, no, no, Your Highness Nicholas, you have misunderstood, I don't think Mr. Arthur doubts what you mean, but I heard that the coalition forces have been increasing troops to the front, so everyone is a little uneasy, we think that it is because the battle situation on the front line is unfavorable, so we will continue to increase troops. ”

"This is ...... Oh, it turned out to be Mr. Nerda, and I had the privilege of reading two of your books, "History Submerged in the Sea of Time" and "Three Thousand Years of Yara", and I was really shocked that you are worthy of the status of the most authoritative historian of our time. But I think you have misunderstood, there is absolutely no unfavorable situation on the front line, because the battle has not started at all, how can the battle situation be unfavorable? Hahaha, yes, you heard it right, the vanguard of the coalition army, with the deterrent power of the troops, has successfully suppressed the undead within five kilometers of the door of death, and not even a bone can be missed. If you look at it this way, the battle situation should be favorable, hahahaha, are you right, Garcia-sama. ”

"Your Royal Highness, you can't say that, although according to the news sent back, the situation is indeed tilting towards our side, but we should still pay enough attention to the enemy, and we must not be too careless. ”

"Ah, Captain Garcia is right, my ideas are too frivolous and idealistic, and I apologize to you and the soldiers who still insist on being in the desert. But, Mr. Nerda, you see, at least until now, there is no sign of your and Mr. Arthur's worries, so rest assured. Besides, you can actually think of it this way, we fought the enemy more than a hundred years ago, and even if we were attacked by surprise, our side won in the end. Now, more than 100 years later, the enemy has not changed much, but we have been developing rapidly for more than 100 years, and with early preparation, it is impossible to achieve victory no matter what. ”

Catherine took Pannis's arm, and as soon as she approached the hall of the villa, she heard the voice of Nicholas, which sounded in the noisy hall. Turning his head, he could see that the prince of the Falar Empire was resting in a corner of the hall, and several guests who happened to be resting around him were chatting around him, naturally around the undead war that people were most concerned about. His Royal Highness the Prince behaved very relaxed, without any nervousness at all, while raising his glass to the people next to him with a smile on his face, and answering the questions of several people next to him very casually. As if sensing Catherine's gaze, Nicholas raised his head, just in time to discover the presence of Catherine and Pannis, and when his eyes met, His Royal Highness nodded slightly to the two of them, and returned to his original work.

"I doubt that there really is a need for so many troops?" Leaving Nicholas behind, the two had just walked a short distance when they heard another group of guests gathering to discuss the current situation. In any gathering, current affairs are always the most enthusiastic topic for men, whether ordinary people or professionals, whether they are commoners and poor people, or aristocratic and rich, when they get together, the only difference is that the level and direction of the opinions expressed. The group of guests was obviously a military enthusiast, and the topic always revolved around military issues: "It is said that the number of troops invested has exceeded one million now, and if you count the troops that are being mobilized, this number can even reach between one and a half million to two million, do those undead really have such a deterrent power, do they need such a large army to fight them?"

"That's the first war of the dead that you didn't experience a hundred years ago, and if you did, you wouldn't have said such naΓ―ve things. A passing guest took a glass of black cullen berry wine from the hand of the waiter, took the initiative to sit down and said: " Although I didn't experience that era, but my great-grandfather really participated in that war, phew, one or two million troops sounds like a lot, but compared to the undead like the tide, it is nothing at all, my great-grandfather once told my father the story of that year, in order to slow down the progress of the undead, the troops of various races often disappeared in formations, you doubt that the assembled forces will be too much, but I doubt that these troops are enough. ”

"Is it really that exaggerated?" A slight panic spread among the more than ten guests present, most of these people are artists from Beicheng District, their usual energy is all focused on artistic creation, rarely care about issues unrelated to art, but recently it is different, the rapidly approaching war has threatened everyone, and everyone is suffering from no exact news, can only speculate, today finally met two guests who seemed to know a little bit of inside information in the party, these artists naturally turned their attention to the two who spoke one after another, and asked eagerly: "If the undead were so terrible, would we lose this war?"

"Oh, so you're worried about that. The guest who came later seemed to have just understood everyone's concerns, and whispered: "I'm not sure about this, but I personally think that failure should be unlikely." ”

"Not only is it not big, but the likelihood of failure is too small. The guest who was the first to raise doubts said with certainty: "In my opinion, even if you reduce your own strength by half, those undead will not have any chance, you guys, you really think too highly of the enemy." ”

"Hmph, if there is no basis, it is better to say as little as possible, so as not to provoke the ridicule of others. The guests sneered, and the atmosphere between the two gradually became tense, but none of these onlookers, who were busy calming the two, noticed it, and secretly exchanged a tacit look between the two, so that everything went according to the plan.
