155 Battle Ends
What does this war mean? It means the consumption of huge amounts of gold coins, the supply of 10,000 loads of grain and grass, and the blood of countless soldiers. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Do you really want to fight?" Fred couldn't help asking, and Upton couldn't help but squint at him when he heard this, "What, you're scared? You're my number one general, if you're all scared, then what hope do we have for this battle?"
"I, I'm not afraid, it's just γγγthat I don't want to see bloodshed anymore, I remember that there were dozens of people who enlisted in the same year as me, most of them were my classmates or friends, but now I am the only one left, I γγγγγγ β
Before Fred could finish speaking, Upton shook his head and sighed, "Hey, when was the last war?" It seems to have happened yesterday, the scars of the soldiers have not healed, Your Majesty is going to start a war again, sometimes I really want to stand up and refute Your Majesty's claim, the last war was just because of a little mineral looting, this kind of thing happens every day in the mercenary city, but Your Majesty was angry and raised the whole country to start a war, this war has been fought for three years, but fortunately we have obtained the right to mine in the form of mercenary groups, and this time because his youngest son was killed, try to ask the parents in the world who have no children? For the sake of his son alone, tens of millions of parents will lose their flesh and blood, not to mention that our national strength has not recovered after the last war, this γγγγ hey!"
The two of them slowly walked in the direction of Emperor Calais's palace, but no one was willing to say anything, seeing that they had reached the gate of the palace, Upton suddenly stopped, "What do you think of this battle if I fight for Your Majesty this time and only control the scale of this battle between us and the Duchy of Julio?"
"What do you say, my lord, that our county will be settled in the same way as the battle between our county and the Duchy of Julio? "I've thought about all this, in fact, the Principality of Julio is far less powerful than it was back then, and they have been squeezed out by many parties in the past few years, and their strength is getting worse and worse, otherwise I wouldn't dare to think of this way." β
"Even so, I'm afraid that their strength is on par with ours, so we don't have to fight to defeat both? The Omar Empire has always had no credibility, if they send troops to attack us at this time, won't we even have the power to protect ourselves at that time?"
"I've thought about these too, but this is also a helpless move, in recent years, I always have a bad premonition, so I asked Zack to investigate secretly, and the results shocked me, the blood clan that has been hidden for so many years has been more and more active recently, and the monster that has been hiding in the depths of the moon dance also has some abnormal behavior, there is actually a seventh-order peak monster was killed in the valley where the blood clan lives in seclusion, although the head was taken away, but it can still be seen that it is a powerful griffin beast, His Majesty spent a lot of effort to cover up this matter, so only a few people know about this matter, this kind of uneasy factor reminds me of a terrible scene in ancient books,Maybe you also know that there was a demon invasion 10,000 years ago.,Brought a blow of almost destruction to mankind.,In the end, the gods launched a war of gods and demons.,This dispels the demons and seals the demon king.,It's been 10,000 years.,Many people think it's just a legend.,But I firmly believe it's true.,And I always feel that the demons will come back.γ β
Fred stood silently as if thinking about something, and Upton looked at him and continued. The blood clan is terrible, because they are almost no different from us humans, but they feed on sucking blood, so people are afraid of them, and the monsters are cruel and easy to kill by nature, once the beast tide breaks out, although it is mainly aimed at the mercenary city, we are often affected here, and it also brings great fear to people, but these two existences are not the most terrifying, after all, we still have the ability to resist them, but once the demons return, it will be the biggest disaster for our human race, even if the human race is completely wiped out by the demons, it is not impossible, so I will make such a painful decision, I want to use the power of one of our counties in exchange for the retention of Calais's strengthI'm telling you this so that you can understand that if we do fight the Duchy of Julio, we can't afford to lose either, which is a dilemma. β
Fred couldn't help but show a little emotion when he heard this, for him, a man who has been in a hundred battles and is accustomed to life and death, but was touched by Upton's words, and couldn't help but say in a reverent tone, "General, you have thought so much, I am ashamed of my suspicion of you at the beginning, please punish me." β
After hearing this, Upton smiled, "Hehe, Fred, you are an excellent general, not only strong in martial arts, brave in battle, but also a general who is familiar with the art of war. Have the courage to take responsibility, but you don't have to take the initiative to admit your mistakes and ask for punishment at every turn, besides, this fault is not you, I didn't tell you these things at the beginning, in fact, it's not just you, I know that many people under me have misunderstandings about me, thinking that I want to show myself to win His Majesty's appreciation, so as to get any benefits, in fact, I can come to this Sas City just represents His Majesty's absolute trust in me, what do I have to bother to show?"
"My lord, you are the pride of our Calais, the best commander I have ever seen, but you may not be able to influence Your Majesty's thoughts, although Your Majesty is generous, but sometimes he is γγγγγ" Without waiting for Fred to finish, Upton hurriedly waved his hand, after all, this is outside the palace, I don't know where there are royal eyes and ears, although I also said some words about designing the royal family just now, but I didn't directly evaluate the king, "Okay, it's not too early, let's hurry up and wait for Jin to see you." β
Honey was lying on the big bed in the inn room, he had already taken a shower and changed into a new clothes, and enjoyed a sumptuous meal, although for the blood clan, these human delicacies could not be compared to blood, but the taste of the delicacies still made him feel very enjoyable.
Receiving such a courtesy, he couldn't help but think a little, back then he was just a gangster of the blood clan, because of some facts in the way to stay in the blood clan's settlement, so he was forced out of the valley, wandering alone for several years before joining the fanged mercenary group in the mercenary city, which undoubtedly found a chance for him to survive at that time, especially after Xiao Gomos knew that he was a blood clan, instead of feeling disgusted, he became closer to him, but unfortunately, in the end, the fanged mercenary group was completely destroyed by the kid named Sheng Xuan, and this hatred could not be swallowed anywayγ
was secretly ruthless, suddenly heard someone knock on the door gently, a voice respectfully shouted, "Is Mr. Honey there?" He hurriedly got up and ran over to open the door, only to see a group of people standing at the door, the leader of whom was obviously not low, looked at him, "Are you Honey?"
Honey couldn't help but nodded, and before he could speak, he rushed in a team of servants, almost carried him into the room, and then began to pick off his clothes without saying a word.
"What are you γγγ you γγγ doing?" the leader laughed, "Time is in a hurry, please don't be surprised by Mr. Honey, Your Majesty wants to see you, change your clothes and come with me." β
Hearing this, Honey's heart suddenly blossomed, he didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to be added to the king of Calais? What an honor? Of course, this honor was a fart to him, but seeing the king had a great possibility of receiving a rich reward, and maybe he could even give himself an official position, that was what he wanted the most.
A group of servants moved quickly, and in a blink of an eye, they picked him up, and then someone had already prepared the bath water, and at this time it had been carried in, those servants lifted him and threw him into the bathtub, and then scrubbed his body with a hard brush, and even some servants even picked out his teeth, which made him feel a tingling pain all over his body, where is this bathing people, it is simply treating him as a beast, he can't help but look at these people with hateful eyes, and secretly swear in his heart that if one day he is developed, he must make these sluts look goodγ
Before he could finish thinking about what to do with these people, he had already been pulled out of the bathtub, quickly dried his body, and then put on a brand new suit, looked the leader up and down, and then nodded, "Mr. Honey, although we are a little rude in doing this, this is also for Your Majesty's safety, but you are also decent to clean up like this, so that Your Majesty may be in a good mood and give him more rewards?"
Although Honey has not seen much of the world, but he still knows a little bit of human sophistication after many years of wandering in the human race, and he is treated like a beast by these people, which is actually equivalent to a disguised body search, he has now been searched inside and out, and has determined that he is not in danger, which means that he will go to meet the king next, and the leader of the person beckoned to him obviously to get some reward.
Although he was very dissatisfied, Honey knew that this person could not afford to offend, and if he said anything bad about himself to the outside world, wouldn't all his efforts be in vain? He hurriedly took his money bag and took out a few gold coins from it, but when he saw that the man looked disdainful, he couldn't help but grit his teeth and simply stuffed the money bag into the man's hand.
The man weighed it for a moment, then put the money bag in his arms, and then smiled at him, "Mr. Honey, you are such a good person, you know that you are sympathetic to us people, then I will thank you on their behalf, it's not too early, let's go quickly." A small bag of gold coins actually made that person even change his title from you to you, which made Honey cry and laugh a little, it seems that this gold coin has a role that cannot be ignored no matter there, which also arouses his desire for money even more.
The group quickly came to the palace, and the man who was still tall just now was a little shorter, and whispered to Honey, "You follow closely, don't look around, be careful to upset these guards, it's not fun." β
Even a guard was afraid, Honey couldn't help but regret a little, why did he give him that bag of gold coins in the first place? Just thinking about it, the team stopped, and the leader whispered, "You wait here first, I'll go in and help you out." With that, he trotted all the way away.
After a while, the man trotted out, "Congratulations, Your Majesty is going to summon you now, go in quickly." Behind him was a man who was a step higher than the man he had just seen, and Honey hurried forward and followed the man into the courtyard.
In fact, this was not a formal summons, so it was just in a study in the palace, Theodore, the king of Calais, sat on a chair, accompanied by several military attachΓ©s, and at this time Theodore was arguing fiercely with those military attachΓ©s, "I have long said that Upton's method will not work, I have made a compromise with you, and only ask you to bring back the heads of those four people and my king's tomahawk, you can't even do this, and now you dare to tell me the conditions, I will never allow it." β
"Your Majesty,γγ" Upton was interrupted by Theodore shouting as soon as he spoke, "Don't say any more, for you to track down the real culprit, my great prophecy mage has sacrificed five years of cultivation, but you have given me such a result, those damned Omar people, pigs without credit, now we have to add the lives of the four Orons to our Calais hatred book, these hatreds must be washed away with blood, even if I bet on our Calais's life and honor, I will set foot in the Omar Empire this time." β
This sound was like a thunderbolt from the sky, Honey only felt the whole room tremble in the roar, his heart almost stopped beating, and he couldn't help but cautiously raise his eyes, only to see a tall figure sitting in front of him, in fact, Theodore can no longer be measured by ordinary human perspectives, because he is three meters tall, and his burly figure is several times more than usual, with a huge head with a full head of red hair, and a pale golden face, two copper bell-like eyes shining with shimmering light, at first glance it looks like a godγ
Although Honey had heard that the Calais royal family was descended from the Titans, he never believed it, because the Titans only appeared in legends, but when he saw Theodore today, he believed most of this legend, and this kind of body can only be possessed by the Titans.
At this time, Theodore had already seen Honey, and couldn't help but turn his head and look up and down, "You are the Honey who reported the news?" Honey hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down normally, the reason why he knelt so directly was not because of his politeness, but because he was completely shocked by Theodore's momentum.
"Back to Your Majesty, the villain is none other than Honey. Theodore nodded, "Well, let's get up and talk," and when Honey stood up, he continued to ask, "Do you know why I came to you?"
"The villain knows a little γγγ. "Well, you know, what is it?" Hearing Theodore's question, Honey's body shook violently, and a sense of danger instantly spread throughout his body, he quickly looked around, and when he saw Upton's cold eyes, he immediately remembered that he had said to himself, hoping that he would always say what he said back then, and it was not until this moment that he fully understood the meaning of this sentence.
"The villain only knew about it when he met Lord Oulong,γγγ "Honey briefly explained the matter, and finally emphasized that "the villain was originally in the north of Calais, but because of the pressure of life, he went to the mercenary city to become a mercenary, and the villain's heart always thought about Calais and thought about his hometown, so after Lord Ou Long entrusted me with his deathbed, I rushed here day and night." β
Theodore nodded, "Well, very good, I didn't expect you to have retained a little bit of our Calais courage and loyalty after going out for so many years, I will ask you again, is the murderer of the Orons a few Ormars?"
Yes or no, although the answer is only one word difference, but the result may be very different, Honey peeked at Theodore, who was also looking at him at this time, and in that look seemed to reveal a desire for him to say yes, Honey couldn't help but grit his teeth, "Back to Your Majesty, it was the people of the Omar Empire who killed Lord Oulong." β
