Chapter 237: War or Not
Bailey gathers the crowd to discuss whether to go to war with the rebels. General Mag and the others also knew that the combined forces of the rebel army were organized by benevolent and righteous people, and it was obvious that they were fighting in a nest when they really fought with them. This is something that no one wants to see, so after a long discussion, no one has come to a conclusion.
It wasn't until Edge arrived from the southwest coast that he broke everyone's hesitation with a single word.
"Why don't you fight? They started the war themselves, so why should we be beaten obediently?"
"Besides, war with them is inevitable. Even if one day we destroy the invading army of the Bhikkhuno Empire and return to unify this land, we will inevitably have to fight with other forces. ”
"Of course, if we can get the other side to surrender themselves, or if we can make the other side fall into our forces, this will avoid war. ”
Edgey looked at Bailey and General Mag with a determined expression.
Bailey still hesitated about this, and said, "But, Age, there are many people in the Rebel Coalition Force who are from the same background as the members of our team, how can we bear to fight them?"
Aggie looked at Bailey, frowned, and said, "Bailey, you're still too naïve. Since you have chosen this path and become our leader, you will ascend to the throne of this nation, and you must have the consciousness of bloodshed!"
"Agey, you're so ruthless!"
"Also, I'm not naïve! I'm just thinking about the people of this country! Those people were my people, and I will love them as my own people now and in the future!" Bailey seemed a little unhappy with Edge's decisive statement, and couldn't help but retort in a low voice.
Edge was stunned for a moment, and looked at Bailey for a long time. In the end, he still felt that his idea was right, and he insisted that he should face the battle, saying: "Anyway, now that we are the joint forces of the rebel army who take the initiative to attack, should we just stand still and let them fight?"
"Everyone knows that the Magor River is now the source of water that we must take over, and without it, our forces would not be able to operate normally at all! However, due to the interference of the combined forces of the rebel army, the Magor forces took the opportunity to strengthen the dam in the upper reaches of the river, further reducing the water source we drained!"
"This is unforgivable! If it is delayed any longer, there will be a crisis in both Hamanu and Yarog!"
"Bailey, if you can't bear to see the war happen in front of your eyes, then I can solve it. ”
"You can all stay still, Giroud and I can deal with the so-called magic army!" Age let out a cruel word, since General Mag is worried about the enemy's magic army, then he, the dragon knight, will personally destroy them!
"But, Ageie, if you destroy the magic army of the Rebel Coalition, it means that we have officially declared war on the Rebel Coalition Forces, and ...... do so."
"Do you still think that we shouldn't have a war with the Rebel Alliance? How could this be that we officially declared war on them? Obviously they declared war on us first!" Edgey immediately retorted to Bailey.
"You ......"
Bailey was refuted by Edge several times, but still in front of everyone, she was really angry. In her opinion, Aggie's idea is too warlike, and if it can be resolved peacefully, it will naturally be better to solve it peacefully. But Edge was so hard that Bailey couldn't talk to him for a while.
"Ageie, why do you like war so much?!" Berry glared at Edge.
"I like war?!" Edgie was slightly displeased, he liked war?
Seeing that Age and Bailey were about to argue again, Anne, who had not spoken, hurried to stop Edge. She walked up to Age, stomped on Edge, and took Edge's hand and dragged him out.
"What are you doing, Annie?" asked Edge, displeased as they got outside.
Anne still glared at him, and said, "Age, you're right, and I don't think we deserve to be beaten." But you were so kind of to Bailey just now, isn't it a little ...... Okay, I'll just ask you, are you the boss or is Bailey the boss in the new royal forces?"
"Bailey, of course!" replied Edge.
Anne glanced at him and said, "You know that, too, did you talk to Bailey as the 'boss' just now?"
"I'm telling you, what you did to Bailey just now was like arguing with your own woman. If you are not satisfied, you can say what you want, and you don't pay attention to the occasion. You're embarrassing Bailey, you know?" said Anne, looking at Edge with a little reproach.
It dawned on Aggie at this time, yes, that he kept saying that he wanted to put Bailey in the position of king. But when I'm usually with Bailey, even in public, I don't have the slightest etiquette as a subordinate. This makes others see it, who would think that Bailey is majestic? It's okay to be a good person, but if someone from the outside sees it, the impact will be huge.
Only then did Edge realize that she had done something wrong, and she couldn't help Bailey.
"Why, you know you're wrong?" said Anne chuckled when she saw Edge, who didn't speak.
Edge looked at her and nodded, "I'm sorry, Annie, I didn't notice this. But......" He suddenly looked at Anne very seriously, and said, "Don't call Bailey my woman, even figuratively. If you let others hear it, it's a terrible thing!"
"What, do you have a lustful heart or a lustful heart?" Anne glanced at him with disdain.
"I haven't had a lust at all! Don't get me wrong, okay?" said Edge, glaring at the joking Anne.
"Oh~ That's it......" Anne chuckled suddenly, she approached Age, hugged Edge's waist, and said, "Then you have a heart for me, I won't blame you." ”
"Annie......" Age tried to push Annie away, but Annie hugged her tightly and he didn't push away.
At this time, Bailey came out of the lobby and happened to see their scene.
Bailey was stunned for a moment, then bit her lip and tilted her head to leave. She looked like she had been greatly wronged, and she didn't want to pay attention to people.
After seeing such a Belle, Aggie was stunned, and felt that she had done something very sorry for Belle.
When Anne saw Bailey, she shook her head and let go of Age, sighing in her heart about Bailey's hardships as the leader of the new royal family. If she could, she would do anything to Bailey. But for Ageie, she didn't want to let and wouldn't let it. In the face of feelings, everyone is selfish.
It's just that Anne is a kind girl after all, how can she bear to be sad for Bailey alone. Glancing at Age, she snorted, "Edge, why are you still stunned? Why don't you go and coax back the lovely princess?"
Edge came to her senses, nodded her head, and chased after Bailey.
Anne looked at Edge's figure, a little puzzled. This guy doesn't have much emotional intelligence, how can he mess with flowers outside?
"Bailey, Bailey!" chased after Bailey and called her, and Ageie wanted to apologize, but Bailey was so angry that she didn't want to pay attention to him at all, and kept walking without looking back.
Edge had to pick up her pace and walk over to Bailey.
"Bailey, I'm sorry I ...... just now I'm a little excited, don't blame me, okay?" said Edge, looking at Bailey.
Bailey didn't look at Age, she looked completely angry, and resolutely ignored Edge.
"Bailey, don't do this, I'...... I'm really sorry, you just forgive me, right?"
"You...... You let go of me!" Bailey was displeased, Edge's being such a scoundrel?
"Bailey, don't be angry, being angry is not good for girls, be careful that you become ugly!" "Edge, trying to coax Bailey back.
Bailey finally looked at Edge, but she looked displeased and snorted, "Why should I forgive you? Why should you apologize? You didn't do anything wrong!"
"No, Bailey, I wasn't really good just now, I shouldn't have said that to you......" Edge didn't know what to say, so she could only look apologetic.
Bailey has always been a soft-hearted girl, especially in front of Age. And in fact, in her opinion, Aggie is indeed not wrong. She wouldn't be angry at Edge's casual talk in front of her. She was angry at why Aggie had to advocate for war. Coupled with the fact that she saw the intimacy between Edge and Anne when she came out, she naturally sulked.
Seeing that Bailey didn't speak, Aiji knew that she had softened, so she used tenderness, took her hand, and said, "Bailey, some things may have made me paranoid because of some of my past experiences. I promise you that I will think carefully about what you say in the future, and I will not go so insistent again. ”
"Age......" Bailey was really 'deceived' by Age, and couldn't bear to blame Age, so she threw herself into Age's arms and said: "I don't blame you, I just think that the matter of the joint forces of the rebel army can be discussed again, and there may be a better solution." ”
At this time, it was naturally impossible for Aggie to argue with Bailey anymore, so he nodded, agreeing with Bailey's meaning, and discussing more.
"But, Bailey, we can do more to discuss the matter of the combined forces of the rebels, but the matter of the water supply of Hamanu City and Yarog City cannot be delayed any longer. Now we must resolve the matter of the Magor forces as soon as possible, and the water source of the Magor River is of great importance to us. Edge looked at Bailey worriedly.
On the question of water, Bailey shares Edge's views as Edge's. If you really can't do it, you can only take a rough approach. Destroy the magical army sent by the Magor forces and the rebel forces. Ensuring the supply of water to the cities of Hamanu and Yarog was more important than negotiating with the combined forces of the rebels.
When they renegotiated the next day, Aggie and Bailey made concessions, and finally came up with a somewhat softening solution to the attack of the combined forces of the rebels. That is to send people to the main city occupied by the combined forces of the rebels, the city of Yefilol, to investigate the situation and see if the leaders of the combined forces of the rebels really intend to go to war.
Regardless of whether it is or not, if we can negotiate and reach a consensus, we will definitely seize this opportunity. I really can't do it, so I have to go to war.
