Chapter 80: A Conversation Between Commanders
(Today ushered in the first recommendation, thank you for the support of Boss Qingmang, and the third more broke out to thank everyone for their support)
Kan Delun lowered his head with a gloomy face and pondered for a long time, constantly thinking about the various reactions that the orc army might make after losing the commander. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć After a long while, Kan Delun suddenly raised his head, and his face was replaced by a red light, and he laughed.
"Hahahaha! Whether you complain or hate, this is the effect of sending you, and no one can replace it. Hahahaha! Invite that prince up, I'll see what other tricks those barbarians can do with their boss with me. ā
Kandrun's face was red with excitement, and he ordered the Prince of York to be brought to the command, and he was to be interrogated himself. Originally, it was inconvenient for Liang Ke to participate in this kind of dialogue, but Kan Delun asked Liang Ke to stay and observe, which may also be regarded as a reward for the hero.
The young prince looked a little tired from the restlessness and turbulence of the whole night, his eyes were bloodshot as clear as water, his long pale golden hair was a little messy, and his precious golden silk robe was crumpled, but he stood there like a javelin, but he still gave people a sense of heroism and inviolability.
Kan Delun's eyes couldn't help but light up when he saw York for the first time, and he nodded secretly in his heart, if he only looked at his bearing and demeanor, York, who had been reduced to a prisoner, was much stronger than several princes and royal highnesses of the Gallant Empire.
"You may be seated, I have been guarding the northern frontier of the empire for more than ten years, and His Royal Highness York is the most distinguished guest who has come to this hall. Kandron ordered the Prince of York to be untied, and he brought him a chair and invited York to sit down.
"Thank you, General Kandrun, for your generosity, York is now your prisoner, and if you have anything to say, please say hello. The Prince of York sat firmly in his chair, seemingly unconcerned about his situation.
"Happy! worthy of being the son of Emperor Lyne. Then I won't go around the bush, His Royal Highness the Third Prince came to Cape Rambet with an army of more than 100,000 thousands of miles, it won't be just to plunder our bitter people who can't eat haha!"
"Hehehe! Of course not. York gently blew off the foam in the cup and took a sip of fruit tea.
"Is it that the Emperor Ryan has taken a fancy to my Sideside Castle?"
"The city of Cape Rambet is tall and guards the main road between the north and the south, who doesn't want it? But if the lives of hundreds of thousands of orc warriors are to be killed because of this dead city, I am afraid there is no need for that. After all, we have no plans to come south. ā
"Oh, don't loot, don't attack the city, then what does His Royal Highness the Third Prince want to do by surrounding Cape Rambet like an iron bucket?"
"Well...... Prince York shook his head and drank the remnants of tea in his cup, glancing at a few attendants around him out of the corner of his eye, and his expression seemed to be speechless.
Kan Delun comprehended, waved his hand, and the soldiers and attendants in the hall retreated one after another, and in a blink of an eye, only the three of them were left in the huge headquarters.
"Lord Commander, my subordinates haven't slept all night, and they can't open their eyes when they're sleepy, do you think I can go back and sleep for a while?" Liang Ke really didn't want to sink himself too deeply, and he was even less interested in listening to York's purpose, so he found an excuse to prepare to slip away.
"Hmm! this ......"
"Colonel Aragorn, you will not leave me here alone for interrogation, Colonel Aragorn! Anyway, I saved your life. ā
Liang Ke stared at the Prince of York with a bull's eye and looked at the Prince of York in a daze, Kan Delun smiled and said, "Since His Royal Highness the Third Prince wants you to stay, then you might as well stay and listen to it together." ā
"That'...... Subordinates obeyed. After Liang Ke finished speaking, he sat back on the sofa.
The Prince of York pondered for a moment, and then, as if chatting with an old friend, slowly explained the purpose of the orc army.
"Actually, it wasn't my intention to travel long distances and work hard to mobilize people. It's just that the Orc Empire and the Gallant Empire have been cut off from diplomacy for many years, and they lack effective communication channels with each other. In addition, our generals are relatively simple-minded and have been accustomed to solving problems by force for many years, so they made the move of besieging Cape Rumbet with heavy troops. Just as Commander Kan Delun said just now, we don't want to rob things, and we don't want to take cities, we just want to retrieve some things that belong to the Orc Empire. ā
Kan Delun frowned, and said with a gloomy face: "Your things, hundreds of thousands of troops, came to our Gallent to retrieve your things? ā
"Hehe! Commander Kandelun should not be so excited! Emperor Gallant built a city here at the beginning of the founding of the country, otherwise, the Great Plains of Biasso would really be our backyard! What's more, what we want to get back today really belongs to the Orc Empire, and it is not in the city of Cape Rambet. ā
"Hmph! His Highness York understands it. Since the Patriarch built a city here, and the city is still in our hands today, then everything here belongs to the Gallent Empire, and I advise you not to make up your mind. However, I'd be interested to know what you're trying to get back. ā
"This ...... I don't know, I just know that when I see it, I know what I'm going to get back. ā
"Oh?" Kan Delun stared into the eyes of the Prince of York, as if York was not lying. Kan Delun rubbed his chin and continued to ask: "Since you want to get your things back, why don't you secretly send a small group of troops over, costing so much national strength, the gains outweigh the losses!"
York shook his head helplessly, and replied with a wry smile: "Didn't I already say it just now, our generals always feel that force is more straightforward. Moreover, it is too close to Cape Rambet to be taken away if there are fewer people, and if we send fewer people, I am afraid that you will take the opportunity to annihilate it, and I don't think your generals will care whether our soldiers are here for a 'spring hunt'. ā
"Well, it seems that this is really a misunderstanding?"
"Well, even if it's a misunderstanding, but with the state of our previous relationship, this misunderstanding seems to be unsolvable. That's how helpless we are with each other. ā
"Oh, no choice! Okay, Your Highness York, how do you think this helplessness should be solved now?"
"This ...... I'm afraid it's hard to solve. You see, we are bound to get it, and you feel that everything in this land is yours, and it is really difficult. York was brilliant enough not to answer Kandron's questions directly, but to slowly test Kandren's reaction.
"Difficult? That's your problem. Don't forget, Your Highness York, that you are now our 'guest', and whether or not you can return safely to your royal court depends on your ability to resolve this matter. Kan Delun's words grew cold, with a faint threat in his words.
"Hahaha! The commander has overestimated my value, there are dozens of fathers, emperors, sons, and grandchildren, and you still expect to exchange my prince for the peace of Cape Rambet? I advise you to ......."
"Report!" Before York could finish his words, a guard outside the door signed up.
"A cavalry squad of orcs came from outside the city, led by a priest who claimed to be a priest with the army, and asked to meet the commander. ā
Kan Delun frowned after hearing this, it seems that what York said is really right, the Lord will be captured, and the orcs have only sent a military priest to negotiate. He waved his hand and snorted coldly in his nose.
"No, if you want to lobby, let them find someone who can talk to me. ā
"Yes!" the guard was about to leave, but the Prince of York hurriedly stopped him.
"Wait, is that priest's name 'Frix'?"
The guard stopped and turned to ask Kan Delun with his gaze, and when he saw the commander nod his head in acquiescence, he replied, "Yes, that fellow's name is Frix." ā
"Commander Kanderen, if you want to negotiate, I suggest you meet Frix, if it is my Uncle Wolf's man, I am afraid that my bargaining chip will be worthless in your hands. ā
"Oh?" Kan Delun looked at Liang Ke, Liang Ke nodded slightly, and then attached to Kan Delun's ear to briefly say the delicate relationship between Prince York and King Wolfe, Kan Delun was secretly happy after listening to it, it seems that York can't fully believe what he said, if he is worthless, then how can he let a prince in military power be regarded as a political opponent, it seems that the lucky Aragorn has touched a good card for himself.
"In that case, bring the priest in. ā
After all, Kanderun has been in high office for many years, and his sensitivity to politics is extraordinary, and his guesses about York's value are very accurate. It is true that the Rhine Emperor has dozens of children and grandchildren, and the old emperor really does not know the names of his children, but there are few sons like York who are heroic and can lead troops to fight, and York's biological mother was born to the Rhine Great's most favored fox woman, so the Rhine Emperor especially likes this third prince York, otherwise, he would not hand over the military power of commanding an army of more than 100,000 to this son.
King Wolf was originally the general who commanded the most elite wolf cavalry in the empire, and letting him be the deputy commander of this rookie prince made him feel an unspeakable humiliation. What's more, King Wolfe's sister is the queen of the Rhine the Great, but the queen married the Rhine the Great only for the sake of the royal family's political marriage to consolidate the imperial power, and the queen was not favored, plus the queen gave birth to a child late, the prince is just eleven years old this year, has no power and no strategy, and only his uncle is his supporter among the ministers and nobles. Therefore, in the battle for the throne in the future, Wolf instinctively regarded the other princes as potential opponents.
He was extremely excited by the news that His Royal Highness had been captured by the Sentinels of the Gallant Empire, how could a valiant orc warrior become a captive of a despicable human, and he hurried back from the south of the city, just to witness the fate of this political rival. In his design, York is nothing more than two fates, one is that he gives an order, the orc's sword shoots the lurker and the prince of York into a hedgehog, and after he weeps a few times, an urgent military report is sent to the Rhine the Great, and the other is that the great prince swears to defend the dignity of the orcs and dies under the torture of the Garront executioner. The old guy hurried and hurried, still a step too late, and could only hope for the second possibility.
After returning to the camp, Wolf quickly took over military command, but the commander of the First Army was not killed in battle, but was captured and captured. The generals who supported Wolf actively asked for war and demanded an immediate attack on Cape Rambet in order to restore the dignity of the Empire, while His Royal Highness's loyal supporters advocated sending people to negotiate to avoid hurting His Royal Highness.
Wolf was shrewd and sophisticated, and if he dared to order the intruder to be killed before leaving the barracks, of course, it would be forgiven for killing the prince by mistake. But now that the prince has been captured, if he goes directly to the door, it doesn't look like rescuing the hostages, and it is too obvious to force the prince to death, I am afraid that not only will he not be able to help his nephew, but his throne will also come to an end.
In the end, the military priest Frix proposed a compromise solution, in which he would go to Cape Rambet alone to find out what Gallant was talking about, and after getting Gallant's specific attitude, he would come back and decide whether to talk or fight. Wolf could also guess that York's cronies must have informed the royal court of his capture, and it was too late to knock on the door, so he was forced to accept Fricks's opinion.
