Solan City. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Scott Walder, the territory of the city-state of Solan, was very surprised to receive a letter from the envoy of the Wind Army, he never dreamed that Shangguan Xiu, the commander of the Wind Country Army, would write a letter to him.
He hurriedly asked for a translator to translate Shangguan Xiu's letter into Besa.
The content of the letter is very simple, just saying that the next march route of the wind army will run through the West Oron region, and it will inevitably pass through Solan City, hoping that the Duke of Huade can make it convenient for the wind army to pass smoothly.
Shangguan Xiu also made a special guarantee in the letter that as long as Duke Huade was willing to show goodwill and cooperate with the Feng army, he would never invade a single grass or tree in Solan City or even the entire West Oron region, nor would he kill an innocent person indiscriminately.
After reading Shangguan Xiu's letter, Scott hurriedly found his henchmen and officials to discuss how to deal with the matter.
Dogray Locke, the foreign minister of the city-state of Solan, said: "The Wind Army has always been ferocious, and among the Wind Army, the Southwest Army is the most ferocious of the Wind Army, and we can know one or two of them through what the Southwest Army did after capturing Nasikya!"
Hearing his words, a young general frowned and said in a deep voice: "Lord Locke means that not only can we not allow the Wind Army to pass through Solan City, but as long as the Wind Army is still within the territory of my Solan City-State, our army should give the Wind Army a counterattack?"
Héiyaпgě is intoxicated with chapters, and the festival is new
The young man who spoke was burly and sturdy, wearing silver armor, a cross sword hanging from his side, and a red cloak on his back.
He was none other than the head of the Paladin Legion of the Solan City-State Army, Matthew Quinto.
Dogray shook his head and said: "General Quintu misunderstood what I meant, the Southwest Army is so ferocious, but after capturing Navia in my city-state's territory, the Southwest Army not only slaughtered the city, but also did not kill a single person in the city, nor plundered a penny of the people in the city, so it can be seen that the Southwest Army of the Wind Country does not want to be the enemy of my Solan city-state!"
After he finished speaking, the scene rang out with the whispers of people talking to each other.
Scott's face softened a little, whether Dogray's analysis was correct or not, but his words were something he was willing to hear. He smiled and asked, "Lord Locke thinks that why the Wind Army is unwilling to be an enemy of my Solan City-State?"
Dogray said: "There should be two points, one is that my Solan city-state is strong, the city-state army, the reserve and the family army are numerous, and if you are the enemy of my Solan city-state, the wind army will be trapped in Theolon and it will be difficult to get out. Second, the main target of the Wind Army is not us, but the city-state of Besa, the Southwest Army is lone and deep, and it is difficult to guarantee logistical supplies, so repairing relations with our city-state can ensure that the logistics supply of the Wind Army can be smoothly transported to the army on the front line. ”
Scott nodded as he listened, feeling that Dogray's analysis was reasonable, and he asked, "So, what does Lord Ellock mean, should we let go?"
Dogray pondered for a moment, nodded, and then shook his head. Scott didn't understand what he meant, and was about to ask, Dogray frowned and said, "The Wind Army wants to pass through Solan City, in fact, it is a test for us. If we refuse to let go, it means that we have no intention of reconciling with the Wind Army, and the Wind Army will attack with all our might, and if we let it go, it is tantamount to showing goodwill to the Wind Army, and it is currying favor with the Wind Army, but at home, our actions are collaborating with the enemy. ”
Scott's body in the chair shook, and his brow furrowed.
What does it mean to collaborate with the enemy? It means that the Solan city-state will have to be the enemy of all the city-states of the Besa country, and the crusade of all the city-states will be faced, which is by no means something that the Solan city-state can afford.
He pondered for a moment, shook his head repeatedly, and said, "Then, then we must not let the Wind Army pass through Solan City!"
Dogray said: "Not allowing the Wind Army to pass is tantamount to declaring war on the Wind Army, and next, we will face a large-scale attack by the Wind Army!"
"Come on, are we still afraid of the wind army?" said Matthew Quintou.
"The combat power of the Wind Army is so strong, we have long seen that the 35th Army of Nashikya, the 18th and 19th Armies of Navia, are all defeated in the hands of the Wind Army, if the Wind Army storms Solan City with all its might, we can hold on for a few days, and who will come to the aid of our state? ”
When Scott heard this, he shuddered again. Matthew huffed and said, "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, so what the hell should we do?"
Accept the conditions of the Wind Army, you are a traitor to the Besa Country, and you will face the joint crusade of all the city-states, and if you do not accept the conditions of the Wind Army, you will have to face the attack of the main army of the Wind Country, in short, no matter what choice the Solan City-State makes now, it seems that it will face the end of annihilation.
The faces of the officials present became more and more ugly one by one, and they looked at each other, and finally they all lowered their heads, and no one said anything more.
Just when everyone was silent, a young general who was also wearing a silver helmet and silver armor asked, "Do you think that in this battle, can the Besa Kingdom win or lose?"
The young general who asked the question was Scott's youngest son, named Dylan Walder, and Scott's favorite and most relied on son, who was currently in charge of all the city-state armies of the city-state of Solan. Hearing his question, everyone present looked at each other, and no one dared to answer, and finally Dogray took a deep breath and sighed: "If our country only fights with Haotian and the victory is unknown, if our country fights with the Wind Country and Haotian at the same time, then our country will lose!"
"We will lose!" Dylan accentuated his tone, smiled bitterly, and said: "Since we know that we will be defeated, in fact, we have no choice at all now, there is only one way to go, to please the wind army!"
Wow!
Dylan's words caused an uproar at the scene. He looked around at the people present and said: "If you are the enemy of the wind army, our state will die, and if you are friendly with the wind army, you will have the protection of the wind army in the future, and our state will still have a glimmer of life." Moreover, after the defeat of the Bessa State, the city-states will inevitably be greatly damaged, and it is impossible to crusade against our state in a short time, on the contrary, my Solan City-State can take this opportunity to win over other city-states, attack the Bessa City-State, and end the throne of the Bessa City-State! It seems to be dangerous, but in fact it is an opportunity, please think twice, my father!"
Dogray's eyes lit up, and he looked at Dylan in surprise, he really didn't see that Dylan had such great courage and could make such a decisive decision at a critical moment. He nodded and said, "Lord Duke, in fact, we don't have to let the Wind Army pass through the city, we can let the Wind Army stick to the edge of Solan City and bypass, but we can invite Shangguan Xiu into the city as a guest, so that we will not make a move to sacrifice the city, and we will not offend the Wind Army!"
His words made everyone feel a sense of surprise, especially Scott, who stroked his palms and laughed, and praised repeatedly: "Good, good, good, this idea of Lord Locke is very good, what do you think?"
Dogray's idea is to play a sideline ball, which can't stand scrutiny, but this is the best way to deal with it at the moment. Everyone had no objection and nodded their heads in response. Dylan also nodded in agreement, and said with a smile: "Invite Shangguan Xiu to the city as a guest, if he doesn't dare to come, it is that he refuses to accept our kindness, and it has nothing to do with our state, in this way, our state is completely free of suspicion of collaborating with the enemy, if he really comes, it doesn't matter, my state can be interpreted as a messenger from the wind army, and he will not be truthful, and other city-states will not be able to say any gossip." "So, Jiang is still old and spicy! Don't look at Dogray's age, but as a foreign secretary, his response to emergencies and his quick response are admirable.
After listening to Dylan's analysis, the smile on Scott's face became even stronger, nodded again and again, and clapped his head: "Okay! Just do what Master Locke wants!" I will write a letter to the envoy of the Wind Army, and ask him to bring it back to the Wind Army and hand it over to Shangguan Xiu!"
Soon, Scott's letter reached Shangguan Xiu's hand, and after reading his letter, Shangguan Xiu looked up and smiled, a great thing was done! Through this letter, Shangguan Xiu could completely feel that the Solan city-state did not want to be an enemy of his own, but he didn't dare to make it too obvious because he took care of other city-states, so he agreed that he could stick to Solan City to pass, and also invited himself to the city as a guest.
After listening to Matt Carano's translation, Luo Ren muttered, "Could this be a trick of the Solan city-state, tricking Brother Xiu into entering the city?"
Matt shook his head and said, "It's unlikely! The Solan city-state doesn't have the strength to be the enemy of the Wind Army, especially now, the Emperor of the Wind Country has taken the conquest himself, and the Solan City-State won't be stupid enough to harm the adults!"
Shangguan Xiu had originally appointed Matt as the acting city lord of Navia, but now that the Feng army has decided to evacuate, Shangguan Xiu naturally will not leave Matt behind and let him accompany the army.
Matt is a native of Besa and knows more about the internal situation in Besa, and having him by his side can also save Shangguan Xiu a lot of trouble.
Luo Ren was still not at ease, and said worriedly: "I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm just afraid of what if!"
Matt said with a smile: "Duke Walter has always been a man of little courage, hesitant in the face of things, and cautious in his actions, in such a short period of time, he will never be able to make the decision to be the enemy of the Wind Army!"
Shangguan Xiu agreed with Matt's analysis, he smiled slightly, and said slowly: "Since everyone's invitations have already been sent, I have no reason not to accept the invitation!
"I'd like to go with you!" said all the generals present.
Shangguan Xiu waved his hand and said, "Just the gendarmerie can go with me!"
All the generals present frowned. In Nasikya, three battalions of the gendarmerie have been exhausted, and there are five battalions left behind with Caidang and Ziyin, and the gendarmerie who is currently following Shangguan Xiu's side has only two battalions, and it is not fully staffed, and only bringing such a few people into Solan City feels that it is too dangerous for everyone to think about it.
