Chapter 11 Reasons for Stopping War
"Yes, there is a risk, and it is very risky, but ......" Pannis's voice stopped abruptly, and he swept the door of the room with Vral's gaze, causing the room to fall silent. A moment later, there was a soft knock on the door, and Moore pushed it open and re-entered, walked briskly to Vrard, handed over a letter, nodded to the others, and quietly exited the room again.
Floral ignored Moore's departure again, opened the letter and looked at it quickly, sighed and put the letter back away, and said in a low voice: "A few pieces of news, first, the undead are really building the city, the bone city wall has begun to take shape, and now from outside the city wall, there are no signs of the activities of the inner undead. All you can see above the city walls is a group of undead patrolling back and forth, just like real fortresses and troops. ”
"How can it be so fast?" Catherine said in surprise, covering her mouth and whispering, "They have just begun to build the city, and it will only take four or five days at most, and the walls will begin to take shape?"
"One thing you're overlooking is that they're undead. "Inside the Death's Gate, they can be supplied with an endless supply of high-quality bones as building materials, which are lightweight, tough, and strong enough to be the best materials for building cities. And the undead themselves are numerous, and they don't get tired, and they don't need to rest and sleep, they are working every second in these days, and all the craftsmen are working, how can they not be happy?"
"What about the rest?" asked Pannis, noncommittal, "not just news of the undead." ”
"Well, the second piece of news, the first main forces of the various ethnic groups have approached a position fifty kilometers away from the door of death, and all the troops combined, close to two hundred thousand people. There was no joy on Vral's face, and he said calmly: "But because of the fortifications and the existence of a large number of high-level undead, they did not dare to attack rashly, so they could only completely block that area and wait for orders from the rear, but according to the judgment of the front-line commander, if the undead are given another twenty days to build the city walls and the tools to defend the city, and then they want to forcibly attack, I am afraid they will have to wait for the arrival of the second or even the third group of main forces, otherwise they will just be sent to death." Of course, if there were goblin artillery in the Land of Mountains or a floating island in Bute, there would not be so many soldiers. ”
In other words, there is not much time left for everyone to hesitate. Pannis nodded: "All clans must make a decision as much as possible, otherwise they will delay the fighter plane in the hesitation?" However, even if the first batch of troops starts to attack now, I am afraid that the chances of victory are not high, at most they can only delay the enemy's construction of the city, otherwise they will not be so far away and start the blockade and wait and see." ”
"The first main forces are mainly the knight legions of the Falar Empire, as well as a phalanx of 10,000 people in the Land of Mountains. "The 10,000-person phalanx is an axe-throwing phalanx, mainly used as long-range support. ”
"Knights, then I understand. Pannis nodded, "Even if the victory rate is not high, their commander should say that for the glory of His Majesty the Emperor, we are willing to die for the country, and we must also delay the pace of the undead building a city." ”
"You guessed it. Vral smiled wryly, "It is said that their commander did say so, and everyone did intend to do so. Fortunately, the prince of Nicholas was quite calm, knowing that if he was sent to death in batches like this, it would only consume our troops in vain, so he gave the order in time to stop the impulsive behavior of the front-line commander. However, due to the change of circumstances, including our clan, the subsequent second and third echelons have begun to move forward, and the originally planned tactics of blocking the undead in batches and layers have to be changed, and it is likely that we will have to start a decisive battle with the enemy in the depths of the Sighing Desert. So, there's not much time left for you, or rather, there's not much time left for you, Kyle. ”
"Why do you insist that time is running out for Pannis?" Catherine frowned and said with some dissatisfaction, "It's not his business alone, for everyone, time is running out." ”
"No, it's his business, or rather, a few people's business, and you don't understand the status quo. Vral glanced at Catherine lightly, the majestic temperament that she had cultivated as a leader for a long time revealed from her eyes, and with the reasons she said, Catherine's dissatisfaction was forcibly suppressed: "You don't understand what he wants to do now, he, or a few of us, doesn't want to see Nelly's efforts in vain, understand?" The special change in the undead is very telling, which means that Nelly has spent a hundred years, most likely with all her strength, including the power used to fight the erosion of Danacus, to fundamentally solve the current situation of confrontation between the two sides, and give the two sides a chance to coexist, and now it seems that it has also paid off. However, once the two sides officially start the war, once a large number of warriors fall, there is no chance of coexistence, and it is impossible for either side of the living or the dead to believe that the other side will stop the war, and can only continue to fight until one side is completely defeated. Now do you understand? For the sake of Nelly's last wish, Kyle wants to stop this war, and wants to preserve the possibility of this peace, so he just said those conjectures, and listening to him, as Nelly's enemy, I also want to fulfill her wish, and I also want to stop this war. “
"I'm sorry, but I didn't think it through. Catherine bit her lip, lowered her head and said, "I didn't think so deeply. ”
"I know, you think it's the responsibility of the entire Yara world, and you shouldn't put all the burden on Kyle alone, but that's what I think. Vrar's voice softened again, and he said softly: "However, if you want to stop the war, you can't gamble with the comfort of the whole world as a bargaining chip, and the result of coexistence can't end with the destruction of one side. And if you want to convince the leaders of other forces, you also need to have enough good reasons, so I said that there is not much time left for us, and we must find enough good reasons, at least to convince me first, so that I can be sure to use such reasons to convince other forces, otherwise, the war will definitely not be stopped. ”
"Of course, there is a reason. Pannis, however, was not in a hurry at all, and said leisurely: "Remember what I just said, I will explain why I don't think it's a bad thing for the door of death to be reopened." ”
"You ......" Vral's face changed suddenly, and he said hurriedly, "Are you really crazy?" )
