Chapter 124: Negotiations Break Down
At the beginning of the day, the sun was shining on the earth, and the scenery of Yale City was quite pleasant in the morning light. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Due to the lack of minerals and wild animals to hunt, there are almost no civilians living here, and the vegetation in this area has not been destroyed by miners like other places, but after all, it is the front line, there will be military drills from time to time, and the environmental satisfaction is only unsatisfactory.
Yale City faces the direction of the demons diagonally, that is, to the northeast, and on the north and east sides of Yale City, there are two armies of wolves and snakes, and hundreds of thousands of huge tents on each side are scattered all over the mountains and fields. At the edge of the beast barracks, it can be seen from the traces on the ground that there is a large area of tents here that have just been set out of the camp, and they are the two million troops who have been sent to the front line to echo Gehe to negotiate with the demons.
Besides, Jeffrey, the Great Elder of the Demon Elder Hall, only reinforced the front line with Leo with more than 100,000 horses this time, and the combined army on the border was less than 300,000. Although Jeffrey has reliable information, the snake country among the orcs is the one who does not fight, and the wolf country is difficult to support alone, so it should not be able to fight, but now that he has received the scout information, Gehe ordered the left and right wings of the two hundred troops to echo, which made Jeffrey's heart a little worried. Once Geoffrey is dragged by Gehe, the two million army will drive straight in, and the army of the demon clan on the border will definitely not be able to stop it. The demons don't like to build cities, although the border is important and different from other places, but the barely built border city is estimated to be unable to withstand a charge from the orc minotaurs.
The triangular relationship between demons, humans and orcs has not allowed the three clans to take the first step of aggression for thousands of years, and even small frictions are relatively small. The personal strength of the demons is very strong, especially the blood sacrifice magic. But after all, they are not the original inhabitants of the mainland, and they only descended to Kama at the beginning, and there are not many people in the country. But. The land of demons is not a place that orcs value, and if they want to start a war, the purpose must be a place where humans live. The orcs are strong and strong, but the south leads directly to the north only the land of the demons, and the terrain to the south of the demons is still quite wide, but when it reaches the northernmost point of the demons, that is, the junction with humans, it becomes very narrow, and it is impossible to spread out a large number of armies at all. It was also blocked by several fortified cities of the Mas Empire. Of course, there is no storm raging in the part of the sea between the demon territory and Kas, and it can be passed by boat. But after the past is the Cartesian Mountains of Cass, which cannot pass through the army at all. For this reason, the orcs planned a thousand-year plan, to march into the Northland when the Hero Bridge was raised, because there was no strong city on the other side of the Hero Bridge. And this time the Bridge of Heroes is also different from previous years.
It's time for that. Geoffrey was no longer confident that the orcs would not attack the demons. For the orcs' thousand-year plan, in fact, Jeffrey's mysterious organization has already learned, but this can only mean that they will not attack humans before the Hero Bridge Meeting, and it does not mean that they will not occupy the demons first and take the initiative. You must know that humans can block the road to the north with a few strong cities, and vice versa, if the orcs occupy the demons, a million army is enough to block the way south for humans.
In order to cope with Gehe's troop movements, Geoffrey ordered several elders of the Hall of Elders who had followed him to lead some of his attendants to defend on both flanks. On the surface, Jeffrey is relaxed. Only brought a group of attendants over, but in fact, he had already brought several elders who had reached the strength of the Magister. With the strength of the Magister plus the power of the Blood Sacrifice. In the absence of enough space to spread out the army formation, a million troops may not be able to rush through it all at once. Once there are heavy casualties, the snake country that does not want to fight in the first place should withdraw its troops, this is Jeffrey's plan.
As the Sun's position rises, Jeffrey's negotiations with Gech are about to begin. At this time, Gehe was already sitting in the designated negotiation place as a master, waiting for Jeffrey's arrival. The scene is very simple, Gehe has a table and a chair, and there is also a table and a chair on the opposite side ten meters away, but the specifications are much smaller, you must know that the shortest orcs are already giants compared to humans and demons, and the temporary wooden shed supported by four large wooden pillars above the venue blocks the rays of the morning sun. The attendant who had been following Gehe was not present, and the orc guards closest to the venue were also thousands of kilometers away, showing the demons the sincerity of the orcs to the negotiation.
Finally, when arrangements were made to deal with the orc troop transfer, Jeffrey was late. Seeing Ge He, who had already sat there from a distance, couldn't help frowning, the opportunity for negotiation was like this, and the venue arrangements made by Ge He first were taken away. Glancing at the formation of 10,000 tall minotaurs thousands of kilometers behind Gehe, Jeffrey also waved his hand to let the followers who followed him retreat.
"Great Elder Gehe, I didn't expect you to arrive so early. Jeffrey, who is also accustomed to the wind and waves, said to Gehe with a smile after sitting down across from him.
"As a host, early is as it should be. Gehe moved his fat body and replied to Jeffrey with a smile.
"Master?" Jeffrey's smile remained the same, but his eyes began to chill a little as he looked at Gehe. "It's the border and it's hard to say who is the host. ”
"Wherever our beast flag is planted, it is our territory. Gehe pointed to the flagpole next to the wooden shed with the Wolf Beast Flag with a huge wolf's head.
Hearing this, Geoffrey's hands tightened suddenly, clenched his fists on his thighs, glanced at the beast flag and retracted his eyes to stare at Gehe, and said coldly: "Elder Gehe, this joke is not funny at all. ”
"Oh, Elder Geoffrey thinks it's just a joke?" Gehe met Jeffrey's eyes, not giving in at all.
"Everyone in our clan can fight, and although Elder Gehe has brought tens of millions of people, our clan has mobilized no less than this number. Jeffrey's tone also began to harden, outsiders thought that there were less than 10 million demons, but no one actually knew how many. You must know that the demons act secretly, plus they are not the original inhabitants, and they are wary of the foreign race, and they can't penetrate at all, although the human race looks similar to the demon race, but the demon race that pays attention to the power of the bloodline is not something that humans can get past by dressing up skillfully. But now listening to Jeffrey, the number of demons really doesn't exceed 10 million.
"How long will it take me for you to be able to mobilize your people?" Geh narrowed his eyes, staring at Jeffrey's reaction.
Sure enough, hearing Gehe's words, Geoffrey, although surprised by Gehe's surprisingly tough attitude, was also enraged by Gehe's contempt. His right hand involuntarily slapped on the table: "Gehe, do you really want to fight? As long as you send the orc's battle book, our demons will fight at any time!"
"What is the next battle book, my two million troops can attack at any time!" Gehe took a step urgently.
"You ......" Jeffrey is definitely no younger than Risis, who was killed by Wu Tian in the first place. No one has ever seen it, but he has never seen someone as arrogant as Gehe, and he was so angry that he couldn't speak.
Gehe saw that Jeffrey was speechless and did not speak, but just looked at Jeffrey with a smile and interest. Jeffrey is not an ordinary person, and he is a thousand years old in 200 years, of course, he will not really be so angry that he completely loses his mind. Jeffrey took a deep breath to calm his mood and put things in his mind again. Finally, Gehe's weakness was also discovered.
"Elder Gehe, although you are the commander of the three armies, you can really command them?" Jeffrey said in a steady tone. It seems to have calmed down. "As far as I know, the Beast Emperor of the Snake Country doesn't want a big war. ”
"Oh, you know a lot, you did send spies to our allies. Gehe deliberately stretched the word "ally" very long.
"How do I know. Don't worry about it. Without the support of the Snake Country, your Wolf Country Beast Emperor wouldn't have gone his own way, right?" Jeffrey thought he had grasped Gehe's weakness, but he didn't think so.
"Before I set out, the Beast Emperor Elro said to me privately, 'Great Elder, I hope you can try to find evidence that someone is plotting against our plan, and once the evidence is conclusive, I will deal with Nader's side if the evidence is confirmed. Now that our allies have been infiltrated by spies, Elder Jeffrey, do you think this counts as evidence?" said Gehe slowly. It's like telling a story.
Jeffrey saw Gehe's tough attitude at first, and he was afraid that Gehe would really mess around, so he had to throw a bomb out to make Gehe know that he knew the attitude of the Snake Country Beast Emperor. You must know that Gehe's two million troops are already preparing on the front line, and once a big war occurs, even if the Snake Country Beast Emperor Nader orders to stop it, he will definitely not stop with the character of the orcs. You must know that the orcs are the famous masters who will never stop the light of immortality, as long as there are casualties in the war, the orcs who smell the smell of blood are immortal, at least the million-strong army on the front line Nader will not be able to take it back. On the other side, there is a million army of the wolf country, and his side is only less than 300,000 troops, and in the face of two million troops, a few magic masters can't stop for long.
Although Jeffrey was able to know the attitude of the snake country from the undercover agent on the Guise side, he could not know the whispers of several people when he was on the spot. Even if Geoffrey could prove that he didn't get the news from a human spy, all Gehe needed was an excuse, an excuse to make Nader change his mind, and Gehe could simply ignore Gehe's explanation to Gefrey, and Jeffrey couldn't pull this face to show weakness to an orc.
"Then there's no need to talk about it, farewell!" Jeffrey slapped the table, as a demon, he must not show weakness to an orc, war may have an impact on his plans, but the orc's tens of millions of soldiers can't make the demon take it seriously.
"No!" Gehe watched Jeffrey leave, his eyes narrowed, and suddenly a cold light flashed.
Gehe knew that if he ordered the armies on both sides to attack now, he would definitely cause heavy casualties to the demons, and the orcs could occupy part of the demons' territory at a certain price, but he didn't want that. Now attacking Jeffrey will definitely retreat, even if he has 5,000 attendants with him, he can't stop him. If he doesn't attack now, Jeffrey will definitely send troops to strengthen the border defenders when he returns this time. As for his own side, as long as he gives the order to start a war this time, the generals of the snake country will ask Nader for instructions, and they will retreat as soon as they ask for instructions. Without the support of the Snake Country, Erro would also follow closely with the withdrawal of troops to appease the hearts of the demons. In this way, the strength of the demon clan on the border is higher than that of the orcs, if he leads the men and horses of the Hall of Elders to attack again, Geoffrey will definitely think that the victory is in his hands, of course he will not retreat, and in the case of an advantage, his self-esteem will never allow him to retreat without a fight in front of the clan. Keeping Jeffrey from retreating without a fight is Gehe's true purpose.
Seeing Jeffrey leaving, Gehe didn't stop, turned back and sat back in his chair, raised his right hand above his head and made a move, and a person rushed out of the large formation of minotaurs thousands of kilometers away, it was Gru who had been on standby, his figure was as tall as the minotaurs, and he couldn't recognize it at all when he was hidden in the formation. When Gru arrived in front of Gehe with his troops, Gehe whispered a few orders and left quickly, while Gehe led the bull-headed soldiers back to the city.
That night, Yale City. The main hall of the city lord in the city was already Gehe's temporary marshal's mansion, and in the conference hall, Gehe was sitting there with his eyes closed. I don't know how long it took. At the entrance of the hall, Gru stepped in first, followed by the supreme commanders of the armies of the two armies, Temas, the leader of the Snake Country, and Langqi, the leader of the Wolf Kingdom.
"Arrived?" After everyone was seated, Gru walked up to Gehe and whispered a reminder, and Gehe opened his eyes and asked slowly.
"I don't know what the Great Elder commands!" the two commanders who had already sat down stood up suddenly, and although Gehe was their commander, they still respectfully called Gehe the Great Elder instead of the Great Shuai.
"Actually, there's not much to say. But it's a big deal, so I want you to come and hear about it. Gehe slowly stood up and continued to speak unhurriedly. "You were able to be sent by the two Beast Emperors to participate in this operation, and I think you also know about our orcs' thousand-year plan, don't you?"
"This ......," the two commanders looked at Gru, who was standing beside Gehe, and didn't say anything for a while. When he saw Gehe nod, he continued, "Yes, we know. ”
"That's good, let's make it clear. I know that both demons and humans have sent spies to infiltrate our allies. The thousand-year plan is already well known, so I plan to start a war now and take down the demons first!" Gehe clenched his fists sharply, his tone very firm and decisive.
"Ahh And Temas, the leader of the Snake Country, was surprised and worried, but he knew that Lunch would definitely agree, and he would be alone.
"Great Elder. The stakes are so high that I think I'll have to report to His Majesty the Beast Emperor before I can decide. "Sure enough. Temas knew he was talking lightly, so he had to kick the ball to Nader.
"The fighter plane is fleeting, when you report it to the Beast Emperor of your country, and then pass it back, the demon clan has long been prepared, then our current advantage will disappear, do you know?" Before Gehe could speak, Lang Qi first objected, because he had been instructed by Erro that it was best to cook raw rice and cooked rice, and Nader would agree if he didn't agree.
Temas doesn't eat dry food, of course he knows this truth, but the order he received is to stand still, he can only do appropriate troop transfers, and not put too much pressure on the demons, how dare he agree to Gehe's request.
"Grand Elder?" Temas ignored Range's question, and only bowed to Gehe, hoping that Gehe would agree to report back to Nader before making a decision.
Everything was expected by Gehe, but he still pretended to be very embarrassed and said: "As Commander Ronch said, the fighter plane is fleeting, and I have already broken down negotiations with the demons, and I hope to be able to act tomorrow." ”
"I must be responsible for His Majesty the Beast Emperor, please forgive me!" Seeing that Gehe actually wanted to cut first and then play, and wanted to attack immediately with a quick knife to cut through the chaos, Temas couldn't help but strengthen his tone.
"Hmph, without your snake country, we can also capture the demons, what does Commander Runch think?" Gehe snorted angrily and looked at Runch.
"This ......" Although Ronchi is the main battle, if it is not for the support of the snake country, he knows that Erro will not approve the war.
"Hurry up and go back immediately to report to Your Majesty and say goodbye!" Seeing that Langqi was speechless, Temas seized the opportunity to say goodbye to Gehe and hurriedly retreated to the hall.
"Brave man!" Gech scolded as he looked at Temas's back, but Temas only shook his body and didn't stop. "The daring man is gone, I wonder what Commander Runch is going to do?"
"To achieve great things, the two countries must be united, and I hastened back to report to His Majesty, hoping that he can persuade His Majesty Nader to agree to war. Langqi said loudly, to put it bluntly, he wanted Erro to make a decision, but there was no flaw in what he said, after all, he was also the main battle faction.
"No!" Gehe waved his hand, not giving Longch a good look.
Seeing that Gehe's face was angry, Langqi didn't want to touch Gehe's moldy head, so he stood up and walked out of the gate, leaving Gru, who seemed to be incomprehensible, looking at Gehe strangely. Gehe had a look of anger on his face, but as soon as Ronch left the hall, the anger disappeared and he sat down in his chair with a smile.
"Great Elder?" Gru looked at Gehe with a puzzled expression.
"I don't hear from you. Gehe smiled and said to Gru that Gru was now the first general under his command. "We orcs plan to storm the human empire from the opposite side of the bridge with a large army when the bridge of heroes rises, but someone needs to create chaos over there. The plan is good, but unfortunately our allies have infiltrated it, and the plan is no longer a secret and will not work. ”
"What then?" Gru didn't know about the plan, and he wasn't qualified to know about it, so he couldn't help but be shocked at first glance.
"According to my idea, if we start a war against the human race now, the odds of victory are not great, but at least we can destroy the demons, and then only a small number of troops will be able to make it impossible for the humans to go south from the territory of the demons. Gehe explained to Gru whether it was true or false, "However, according to the opinion of the people of the Snake Country, there are great captains and prophets from time to time, and in fact, there is no big problem without human help, so they will not agree to go to war now no matter what." It's a pity, if you never asked for help from humans, now not only is there an alliance equal to no alliance, but your own plan of action is even more clear, and the Great Commander and the Prophet are not invincible. ”
"So what are we going to do?" Gru didn't seem to know what he could do.
"In less than two days, our army will retreat, the snake country will not fight, and the wolf country itself will not dare to fight alone, so it can only retreat to relieve the pressure of the demon clan, so that the demon clan will not gather too many troops on the front line. Gehe slowly closed his eyes, "And when the time comes, I'm going to attack the demons!"
Even if Gru couldn't understand it, he heard one thing clearly, Gehe wanted to fight against the demons alone with the men and horses of the Hall of Elders. There are tens of millions of orcs on the border, since Gehe has declared war on the demons, no matter how arrogant the demons are, the army deployed on the border will not be less than one million, but at the same time, the orc army has retreated, with less than 200,000 men and horses in the Hall of Elders against millions of people, Rao is known for his bravery, and Gru, who is known for his bravery, can't help but show a look of horror. Unfortunately, Gehe had closed his eyes and couldn't see the expression on Gru's face. (To be continued.) )
