508 Storm 19
Ask for support, everyone give a little recommendation to collect, thank you!!
Seeing that all his subordinates came to him safely, Sheng Xuan was of course very happy in his heart, but when he saw Duke Ferdinand and the more than 100,000 rebel prisoners held by his men, his brows couldn't help frowning. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
At this moment, Ferdinand had already ridden his horse towards him, and then reined in his horse a few feet away, jumped off the horse in a dashing manner, waved his hand enthusiastically, and then walked a few steps forward, and gave him a very gentlemanly salute, everything was so natural and elegant, but it made people feel so awkward and vain.
"Mr. Shengxuan, my subordinates and I have completely convinced you this time, admire, sincerely admire from the bottom of my heart. Ferdinand's face turned red with excitement: "You are simply a military genius, no, you are a god, a god of war, otherwise how could you be exhausted, how could you know in advance that the wind will change and the enemy army will flee in our direction, oh all this is unimaginable." β
"That's because you're a successful businessman, but not a successful general. Sheng Xuan looked at Ferdinand, who was dancing with his eyebrows, and couldn't help but say something jokingly.
The other party didn't care, but continued to praise: "You are the god of war, I simply, I worship you too much." You see, according to your arrangement, I did not spend a single soldier, but only dug a ditch, shot two arrows, and captured hundreds of thousands of rebels? β
"No, it's yours, the credit is yours, and the captives are yours, but I didn't expect you to actually take these hundreds of thousands of people over, have you ever thought about how much food and grass you have to spend with these captives? And the magic passage just now, how much more magic materials do you have to spend with these disabled captives? If it were me, I would kill them, only cut off the left ear and bring them over, which is convenient and fast, and can also prove your military merits. β
Such cold-blooded words, Sheng Xuan said them with a smile, which immediately made the faces of Archduke Ferdinand and several generals around him change, and some people even hurriedly covered their mouths and suppressed the nausea in their chests.
"Ahγγγγ hehe, Mr. Shengxuan is really joking. Ferdinand said with a slightly embarrassed smile, trying to change the somewhat bloody conversation, "I think it is obviously not appropriate for me to give my family the military merits brought by so many captives, so it is better for you to share some with the respected Captain Grena, so that my heart can be more stable." β
Sheng Xuan was still smiling: "I said that I don't have that much food to feed these wastes, and I think Captain Grena has the same concerns, if you have to give them to me, I don't mind killing them all to feed the magic horses of my warriors." β
This sentence was not loud, but it happened to be heard by several orc guards around him, and he couldn't help but cause a burst of laughter, and from their eyes, it seemed that they were already eager to try.
This scene can't help but remind people of the rumors that orc warriors ate enemy prisoners in the war, and they can't help but make everyone's faces change drastically.
"Wow!" Finally, a young general beside Ferdinand couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of sour water, he knew that he was rude, hurriedly waved his hand to apologize, covered his mouth and walked away quickly.
"What a rude, so rude. Ferdinand was obviously extremely dissatisfied with his subordinates' performance, but the conversation just now also made him feel very uncomfortable, but he tried his best to hide it: "Since this is the case, then I will be disrespectful, but you can rest assured, since I have taken the military merit, I will definitely not receive it in vain, and I will give you and Captain Grena reasonable compensation." β
"Ah, so many of us are crowded in the valley, I don't think it's appropriate, since you and Captain Grena have already experienced a hard battle, then the next vigilance task will be handed over to you, I will immediately lead people to arrange the defense line, and I will be lost first. After still a polite salute, Ferdinand walked away briskly surrounded by his men, but no matter how much he tried to hide it, he could not hide the haste of his steps, as if he was afraid that if he was delayed for a moment, the precious captives in his hands would become the mouth of the demon knight.
The sudden appearance of the 300,000-strong army immediately caused a series of panics, especially when Archduke Ferdinand led his elite to stand out from the camp of Anza in the mountain pass, so that the rebels on the opposite side finally couldn't hold back and acted.
Instead of attacking the unstable army, they sent envoys to negotiate peace again, and this time the talks were taken over by Ferdinand, who sent a solemn invitation to Shengxuan and Grena to participate, but they were not in the slightest interest, and let him be the sole representative.
In the rebel army, Gomos was looking coldly at the general opposite, obviously very dissatisfied with his actions in the past few days, and although the general was not as strong as Gomos, he still showed his due backbone in his own army.
The two looked at each other like this, and after a long time, Gomos finally spoke: "I can treat your little actions as if I didn't see them, but I hope you don't try to test them again, if I find out that you have betrayed Lord Gatiaro, I don't care if I take your head with my own hands." β
Of course, the general did not have a good face for the role of the prison army that Gatiaro had inserted with a tough attitude: "Hmph, I will not sacrifice my own warriors to win Gatiaro's favor, I just want to be able to hold the other party back, as for what means I use, it is not something you should worry about, don't forget that I am still the general of these tens of thousands of troops, besides, this army is a principality, not Gatiaro's personal, what to do does not need your advice." β
Gomos glanced at the other party coldly, and then snorted coldly and walked out of the big tent. Although Gatiaro gave him great benefits, and promised him afterwards that he would arrange a vast and fertile land for his people to settle in in the new Omar Empire, but now he was not optimistic about this war, and with the contact, he also deeply felt that Gatiaro was incompetent, at least in military terms, this is the conclusion he made.
Since there is not much chance of success in this rebellion, he is not willing to use the lives of his own people to accompany Gatiaro to gamble, but there is still something to be done on the surface, since he is arranged to be the supervisor of the army, then he will make a show for others, not to mention just beating a small general of the principality, even if he really kills this small general, the principality behind the other party is only afraid and does not dare to do anything with himself.
But as a last resort, he doesn't want to kill too much, after all, his strength has just broken through, if he is contaminated with too much killing breath, it will have an irreparable impact on the future, and he also has to consider the future, although he is a mercenary, but after all, he participated in this war and stood on the side of Gatiaro, once the rebels fail, he can still go back to be the leader of his own mercenary group, and he still holds the huge wealth of refined iron ore, but he is not arrogant enough to think that he can go against an empire, so he can try not to offend people if he can offend lessγ
Gomos was not a reckless man, arrogant but not brainless, so in the next few days, he kept verbally beating and even intimidating the poor general, but did not do more, just silently watched him send people to negotiate again and again, and then retreat the line again and again.
Finally, in the anger of Gatiaro, another reinforcement of tens of thousands of men was sent with an order to defend himself, and the general stopped his army's retreat, and then he and Gomos met each other coldly again, but both were tacitly acknowledged. And Gomos also took the opportunity of the arrival of new reinforcements to transfer all his own people.
At this time, King Qin's army was only a few miles away from the royal capital, and a charge could come to the city, which couldn't help but make Ferdinand excited, and he wanted to order the army to charge immediately, but he knew that he was two pounds, so he forced his excitement to come to ask for advice.
"Mr. Shengxuan, what do you think we should do now?" Ferdinand leaned excitedly, as if waiting for Shengxuan to say the charge, he could lead his 200,000 troops to run towards the royal capital.
But Sheng Xuan's words were like a scoop of cold water on his head, extinguishing the heat in his heart, "Do nothing, how can you γγγγ thisγγγγ, since you don't do anything, then what are we working so hard to come here for? I don't understand, I really can't figure it out, and I ask Mr. Sheng Xuan for some advice." β
Ferdinand had tried to exercise as much restraint as he could, but he could no longer maintain his usual gentlemanly demeanor, and at first he even spat on his lips, but then he calmed down.
"Maybe you don't know that now Calais's millions of troops and the millions of rebel armies are attacking the royal capital day and night on both sides, but the royal capital is just holding on and not opening the city to meet the battle, what does this mean?"
"What?" Ferdinand listened attentively with a respectful expression. "This shows that the royal capital is not in danger of being lost, in this case, why should we stir ourselves into it too early? You must know that millions of troops are crowded in front of the narrow royal capital, not to mention that we hundreds of thousands of soldiers, even hundreds of thousands of saint-level masters, do not dare to touch it easily, if we do that, we will not go to the king of Qin, but look for death. β
Ferdinand's face changed after hearing this, and he sat down on the chair dejectedly, his mind was flying, maybe he regretted that he followed Sheng Xuan to King Qin, but things have come to this point, he regrets that it is useless, it seems that waiting now is the best way.
"And when are we going to wait?" asked Ferdinand, reluctantly. Sheng Xuan didn't raise his eyes, still playing with a piece of metal in his hand, and said casually: "Wait until one of them can't help it." β
