Chapter 206: Celebration Banquet
At the celebration banquet, there was a lively scene. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info everyone drinks together, and the speed of the maids can't keep up with the speed of everyone's drinking. In the end, George the big nose and Uncle Bagh simply carried the barrel to the banquet hall. People sang and danced, and the foot dance of Clay City and the shield dance of Idiris's were staged in various corners.
Joseph raised his glass, stood directly on the table and said, "Everyone, let us raise our glasses together and shout long live the Duke of Aceh! Long live Princess Eve! Long live victory!"
So everyone raised their glasses and shouted, "Long live the Duke of Aceh, Long live Princess Eve, Long live Victory!"
Duke Aceh raised his glass and said: "This great victory, annihilating nearly 100,000 demons, has made the demon clan's plan to quickly destroy our Idiris, and slapped the god of calamity Fatai in the face. It will be a battle that will be counted in great history. The troubadours will also compose songs and sing them for thousands of years. First of all, I would like to thank my daughter Eve, and secondly, I would like to thank all the soldiers for their concerted efforts!"
The Duke of Aceh walked to Lance's side as he spoke, patted Lance on the shoulder and said, "Of course, I would like to thank the Lance Knight for his devotion to the Piercing Forest Town, which helped us destroy the logistics and supply of the 100,000 army of the Demon Clan in one fell swoop." He also contributed a lot. According to the previous agreement, I also made Lance the Earl of Lolai City! Besides, I have one more important thing to announce!"
At this time, everyone was suddenly focused and waiting for this important matter.
The Duke of Aceh raised his glass and said, "I declare that we will take advantage of the victory and pursue it, not only to recover all the cities, but also to attack the Coast Mountains. Give the demons the heaviest blow! Attack the demons!"
Immediately, all the soldiers shouted: "Attack! Attack!"
But at this time, Lance suddenly stood up and said, "Don't! Don't continue to attack the demons." ”
As soon as Lance said this, the joyful atmosphere in the banquet hall suddenly disappeared, and the birds were silent. The enthusiasm for victory in people's hearts looked at each other as if cold water had been poured on them.
Duke Aceh's face sank and he said, "Why not, the demon clan is now seriously injured, if we don't take this opportunity to annihilate the demon clan in one fell swoop, what are we waiting for?"
Lance said: "Lord Duke, now that our forces have just been combined, there are still many gaps and holes in the defensive line. The first thing we should do is to stabilize the defensive line and slow down the attack! After all our food, grass, soldiers, horses, and reinforcements have arrived, we will recover our homeland and go straight to the base camp of the demon clan. ”
Aceh said noncommittally: "Now that the demon clan has been defeated, we should pursue it while its forces are weak." If you stop at this time, won't it give the demons a chance to breathe and make a comeback?"
"Lord Duke!" Lance stood up excitedly and said, "Lord Duke, do you remember what the battle report said before? But we still don't see even a shadow of this army. I'm afraid that the demons still have the strength to follow! Now the top priority should be to re-stabilize the battle line, and then gradually advance to the front line. Don't rush in. ”
At this time, Edward, the son of Count Clay, smiled and said, "Lance, have you put on women's clothes, and even your guts have become as small as a woman?"
When Eve heard this, she stood up and said, "Edward, what do you mean by that? Are you discriminating against girls?"
Edward smiled and said, "So, Your Highness Eve, you are bold, do you approve of us sending troops to pursue the victory?"
"You!" Eve swallowed her anger, and then said to the Duke of Aceh, "Father, I think Lance is right, he should not send troops. Now our army is also suffering heavy casualties and needs to rest. We should maintain the Rolley-Clay front first. Then, taking advantage of the aftermath of this victory, he asked for help from the various human kingdoms around him. When the reinforcements arrive, merge them and attack the demons. ”
The Duke of Aceh said with a solemn face: "What? Eve, after a battle with Lance, this elbow turned outward?"
Eve said, "Father, I'm not turning my elbow outward, I'm just thinking about the overall situation, for the ultimate victory!"
"Shut up!" Duke Aceh glared at Eve and Lance and said, "Look at the two of you, one in maid's costume and the other in women's clothing, what kind of system have you become, I won't pursue it, and dare to question me here?" Joseph, what do you think of the strategy of the march?"
Joseph glanced at the Duke of Aceh and Eve with jealousy, then bowed his head and said, "I think it all makes sense." Please forgive me for not being able to weigh the pros and cons for a while. ”
"If you can't measure it, then listen to me!" said the Duke of Aceh, "what do you think, Count Gavin?"
Count Clay Gavin naturally wanted to recover all the territories he had been occupied by the demons as soon as possible, so he said: "I agree with the march, I want to take advantage of your illness and kill you." Otherwise, if the demons gather again, we won't have a surprise attack to fight the demons. ”
Lance hurriedly advised: "Lord Duke of Aceh! No! Don't! ”
"Shut up!" Duke Aceh angrily threw the wine glass to the ground: "The demon clan has already reached 100,000 people at any time, I don't know what you are afraid of? Since you want to consolidate the battle line so much, then you don't need to participate in this war against the demon clan! You can go to your fiefdom Luolai City and stabilize your direction!"
Eve also hurriedly knelt down on one knee at this time and begged: "Father, daughter, please don't send troops!"
The Duke of Aceh flicked his sleeves angrily and said, "Well, since you don't believe in your father and me so much." That's okay, just stay in Clay City, and reflect on me! You'd better not learn more from me in the future, don't learn from this Lance!
With that, the Duke of Aceh threw up his sleeves and left the banquet hall, no matter how much Eve called.
At this time, Joseph came over, helped Eve up, and persuaded him, "Your Highness Eve, get up." Don't you see what the Duke needs now? ”
Eve shook her head suspiciously and said, "What else does Father need?"
Lance sighed at this point and said, "He needs prestige. It is enough to deter the prestige of the whole country. Now there are not only demons, but also the countries around Idiris. So he needs to defeat a powerful opponent that everyone fears to prove his strength and intimidate the surrounding countries. In this way, the countries of the Principality of Eagle Gang and the Elven Kingdom would not dare to stab them in the back. ”
Eve said, "But you can't venture even if you know the danger!"
"But the problem is that your father doesn't think it's an incursion at all," said Lance. Instead, I think it's an opportunity!"
Joseph said, "Your Highness Eve, rest assured, I will do my best to preserve the army and let the Duke retreat." ”
"That's it. General Joseph, you are steady. It's okay to have you staring. Lance thought for a moment and said, "Otherwise, I'll think about the strategy for the invasion tonight." Tomorrow morning I tell you that the Duke can only wake up a little sooner from the blindness of victory. ”
