Chapter 74: The Polemic in the Pavilion
readx; There were four people in the pavilion, and Amy knew three. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info are all dragon knights, from left to right at one time is Shuda, Reynolds, Yemoda, and the other old man, Amy doesn't know, but, from his towering crown, Amy guessed.
"Today you are really a gathering of heroes, and there are three kings, and I am fortunate to meet you. The smile on Amy's face bloomed like an angel, as if she had seen her own family, not a life-and-death enemy who was killing her relatives and friends one after another. The temperature in the pavilion also seemed to be warmed by the smile of the young mercenary king.
"I'll introduce you. Reynolds stood up and pointed to the high-crowned old man.
"No, no, this radiant person must be His Majesty the Pope. Although I have never seen it, I was deeply moved by the great achievements of His Holiness the Pope. Amy smiled so badly that His Majesty the Pope didn't know how to respond.
The three young dragon knights behind Amy looked at each other, and Dark Qiusheng muttered in a low voice: "Hypocrisy......" The three dragon knights all know that in the hearts of the group leaders, if all the enemies are ranked in order, Reynolds is not qualified to enter the top five, and this pope with a sword in his smile must be one of the best figures. It's really hard for the head of the regiment to behave like this now.
His Majesty the Pope felt a pang of pain in his heart, and he didn't know when such a word as radiant was applied to himself, and he was not yet fifty years old at this time.
"I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing?How are you doing?Are you eating well??Are you sleeping well?," Amy sat down and kept asking questions to the Reynolds brothers. Just these few simple questions made the three Reynolds brothers stunned, obviously, these three brothers didn't know how to answer.
Reynolds was stunned for a moment, sighed slightly, took off his helmet and put it on the stone table, and at this moment, the three young dragon knights of the small mercenary group guarding behind Amy realized that there was already a gray sè in the golden curls of His Excellency the Emperor of Burmeyang, and there was a tired look fluttering between his eyebrows - Reynolds and the three dragon knights of the small mercenary group had met before, and that was only a few years ago.
After a moment's pause, Reynolds crossed his fingers: "I have a proposal, I don't know if you will agree." β
Amy was still smiling, a very interested look appeared on her face, and she also gouged out her ears: "You say, I'll listen to you." β
"This war is too long, and in the process, there are too many dead in the war, and today, the front seems to have returned to the situation before the war, I think, let's make peace. β
The three dragon knights of the small mercenary group behind Amy were shocked at the same time, before coming, they had a lot of predictions for today, but in any case, they never imagined that the Western Emperor Monarch Cluster would actually propose peace talks!
Amy's face was still smiling, the look in her eyes did not change in the slightest, and her tone was still full of interest: "Hmm...... It's really a piece of advice that makes people think about it, it's good, it's thoughtful, it's insightful. β
"Your Excellency agreed?" said His Majesty the Pope, narrowing his eyes.
Reynolds and Shuda sighed in their hearts, that is, sighing Amy and sighing His Majesty the Pope, with their little understanding of Amy, this expression was just another means he used to suppress the anger in his heart, and His Majesty the Pope, although he tried his best to suppress his tone, still revealed urgency in four or five words. And this urgency is often the most obvious sign of handing over the initiative in negotiations.
"How can I disagree?" Amy replied with a smile: "If I flatly refuse here, then I will not become a war criminal who abandons peace? It can only be arranged for people to be sent to the Northern Federation for His Majesty's decision. β
This guy is really cunning like a fox, and Reynolds and Shuda look at each other. Recently, His Majesty Redstone has issued a series of appointments in the Frozen Continent, but anyone who is not a political idiot understands what is behind this appointment, and it is estimated that the one who most wants a war between the coalition and the allies now is His Majesty Redstone and the demon marshal Yi Hailan.
The Pope was slightly stunned, he had always thought that young people were more impulsive, and most of them only looked at the immediate situation, and a young man like Amy, who had a heavy army in his hands and enough to support his own troops, must like to make his own decisions. The Pope's eyes narrowed slightly, and he quickly found the right direction: "Alas...... I forgot that. Otherwise, we will use the current Line of Control as the actual armistice point, and the territories you currently occupy are basically the territory of our Holy See, and Your Excellency can completely open a state and establish your own empire in this vast and fertile land. The Holy See will be the first to recognize Your Excellency's Empire. β
Amy listened attentively, and the smile on her face became even stronger: "I really thank His Majesty the Pope for being so kind, but it makes me a little uneasy." I would venture to guess, hmm...... Is it because the small mercenary group left enough wounds on His Majesty in the war, so it will be treated so well?"
The other seven people in the pavilion heard this, and the two reactions were completely different.
Yemoda, who was also a dragon knight, was ashamed to burrow her head under the tableβand at the slightest chance that Yemoda would have toppled it over. Pity...... This only exists in hypothetical
"Amy, peace talks now should be your best choice. Reynolds interjected, with a very solemn attitude: "If the war continues, it will not do you any good, neither we nor us." Moreover, we are also aware of the recent series of personnel changes released by the Redstone Emperor. As the saying goes: the bird hides its bow. If we do rout on all fronts, you ...... It is a thorn in the side of all forces. On the other hand, peace talks mean that you have regained the initiative. Moreover, you now also have the authority to sign peace agreements with us on behalf of at least three countries. β
Amy nodded slightly, and the smile on her face disappeared little by little: "Impossible." β
The young mercenary king's voice was not loud, but everyone could hear the determination brought in it: "Reynolds, you remember one thing: not every war initiator has the power to end the war in the end, such as this one. There are a lot of dead knots, and you know exactly where they are, so no one, either me or Redstone, has the power to end this war. Until you and the side you represent are completely defeated, any peace talker will be nailed to the pillar of shame in history!"
Amy's finger almost poked in Reynold's face.
In the Wangjiang Pavilion, once again fell into a quiet that was tending to death, and the breathing of eight people could not even be heard. Everybody knew where Amy's dead knot was, and everybody knew that it wasn't one.
"That'...... How are you satisfied?" said this, and when Reynolds said this, a green meridian faintly danced on his forehead.
"Death of the country and extinction of the species, are you satisfied with this condition?" At this time, Amy had no smile at all, and her tone was cold enough to compare with Chi Aotian.
The Wangjiang Pavilion fell silent again.
Kingdom Extermination...... If such a condition is really true, then the negotiation itself has no meaning, and no one will agree to such a condition.
"Could it be...... Is it true that millions more people will have to die to end this war?" Reynolds slid his gaze to the table.
"Do you ask me?" Amy laughed angrily, and smiled as if she was extremely happy: "Why didn't you think of this problem when you started the war? The mercenary empire was almost destroyed, why didn't you think about stopping the war at that time? Reynolds, don't let me underestimate you." As I said, this war has long gone beyond ordinary imperial battles, and no one has the right to end this war until one side has completely fallen. β
"Amy, you have to be clear! It's not that we don't have the ability to fight! Just keep fighting......" The young Emperor of Burmeyang stood up suddenly!
"Hmph...... You don't have much chance of winning if you continue to fight, so you don't want to fight!, right? You want to use the time gained from the peace talks to heal your wounds and fight again, right?" Amy said unhurriedly: "If this is just to say these things today, then I already know, farewell." β
"Wait!" Xiuda, who had not spoken, stretched out his hand to stop Amy: "Since the peace talks can't get your approval, then ...... Let's fight a decisive battle early. β
"Good. Amy seemed to hear that instead of a decisive battle, someone was going to invite him to dinner, and there was no other expression on her face except a faint smile: "Give you 30 days to prepare, is it too late?"
Reynolds had a wry smile on his face: "Enough, after 30 years, it's right in front of your camp." We can also emulate you and the Pirate King, and win or lose the battle. β
"If you lose, what do you say?"
Reynolds smiled bitterly: "Defeat is defeat, what can I say, I want to say, if we are defeated, we will withdraw from the Eminole continent from now on, and the two sides will cease fighting, will Your Excellency agree? As for the conditions you want to propose, needless to say, it is impossible." Therefore, if no matter who wins or loses, you should cut and kill, and you must not be polite. β
Indeed, as Reynolds said, this war is completely different from the previous battle of the two kings and the world ring. This war has only four words: you live or die!
"Wow, I'm stupid to say that. Amy stood up with a smile, faced the endless Langcang River at both ends, stretched her waist, breathed two breaths of fresh air, and pointed to a river of Chunshui casually: "I really can't imagine that in the south of the Flower Language Plain, there are such beautiful mountains and rivers, feng shui, feng shui, this is really a treasure of feng shui." Not...... If you still have the ability to choose, you might as well pick a better place for yourself. β
As Amy said her last few words, she glanced back at His Majesty the Pope meaningfully.
After walking a long way from Wangjiang Pavilion, Dark Qiusheng was finally defeated by the doubts in his heart: "Regiment commander, regiment commander, I don't understand, why do you want to start a battle with them?" I think that after so many battles, the battle is the most tiring, and the casualties are the greatest. You see, we ambushed the female dragon knight of the Pirate King, and the battle was enjoyable, and your command was really like an antelope hanging its horns, and the soldiers were bloodless, and they were all done in one fell swoop. β
"Sycophants. "To these beloved generals in the small mercenary group, Amy sometimes says a few foul words like this.
"I think so too. Huerdu probed his head and took it: "Regiment commander, you see that when the deputy regiment Chi was on a long-term expedition, the soldiers were uncertain, and they leaped forward every thousand miles, leading the enemy to turn around, and the results were brilliant. If Deputy Regiment Commander Chi had also fought with the enemy at that time, the expeditionary force would have been wiped out long ago. β
"Lingyun, do you think so too?" Amy reached out and patted the thoughtful young dragon knight.
"Soldier, that's what you often tell us. Battle...... It seems that there are not many places that can be tricky. Still, I wondered if there was something wrong with that. Ling Yun's eyes showed doubt, Captain Amy was the most admired hero in the hearts of all the members of the small mercenary group. It takes courage to question.
"You three...... After a hundred battles, you still need to go to school again. Amy reached out and slapped the back of each teenager's head, and the helmet immediately buzzed: "Soldier trickery, who said this, and when did you say it?"
"The famous words of the Soldier Saint Sun Tzu are probably 50,000 years ago, during the period when the Seven Kingdoms of the Ancient Eminole Continent were fighting for hegemony. Ling Yun and Dian Qiusheng immediately said the standard answer: "Encircling Wei to save Zhao, Shengdong attacking the west, and secretly crossing Chen Cang are all famous examples of battles during the Seven Kingdoms Struggle for Hegemony. β
"Then let me ask you, the 5,000 years before the Seven Kingdoms competed for hegemony, it was another heyday of the continent - the famous Hundred Kingdoms. At that time, there were more than 300 large and small vassal states, and there were countless excellent generals. Then why didn't we come up with such a quote at that time?
The three teenagers were stunned, it is true, in the era of a hundred countries, there were countless excellent generals, such as the famous Lionheart, Alexander, Hannibal, Li Jing, etc., but almost all the battles recorded in that period were the battles of Qing Yisè. One of the strange examples of the battle was the false battle, and this one actually ended in a battle.
"There are wise reasons here, but, more importantly, the conditions. During the period of the Seven Kingdoms Struggle for Hegemony, the territory of each country was already very vast, and every battle had enough depth to lead the army to launch a fatal blow to the enemy's weak point from an unexpected place, and look for new fighters in the enemy's troop movements. It was only from that time that the theory of the military family gradually took shape systematically. Before that, there have always been many countries on the mainland, the large vassal states have a radius of only 500 li, the small vassal states have a radius of less than dozens of li, the soldiers are not more than 10,000, and the regular knights are often only more than 100, and the vassal states have to build fortresses and fortresses in the border areas to garrison. The land area and fortresses of the various countries were predestined: at that time, first, there was no depth to carry out surprise attacks; second, even if there were occasional surprise attacks, in the face of a series of fortress attacks, surprise attacks could not be called surprise attacks. The situation is the same now, we don't have the bait in our hands, and the Western Emperor's defense is so long, any skirmish can turn into a final battle. Amy jumped off her horse, drew two distinct continents on the ground, and taught the three teenagers very seriously.
"Then, regimental commander, they can build a large number of fortresses and wait to fight a tough battle with us, so that our losses will be greater?" Dark Qiusheng's brain reacted quickly, but immediately there were new questions.
"Han Bai's bravery, no food and no war. Amy casually drew the distant continent of Fanos on the ground: "The great plague broke out, of course, this is thanks to your old man's blessing......"
Dark Qiusheng had another big red face at that time.
"Then they want to retreat?" Ling Yun suddenly interjected to the side.
"Not bad. Amy patted Ling Yun's shoulder hard: "They want to retreat." Therefore, they must start another battle before retreating. Lingyun, tell me why. β
Ling Yun knew that this was the head of the regiment testing himself, and he laughed twice: "I just have this intuition, as for why, it's hard to say." β
"There are three reasons, you have to remember, these three reasons are finally an idiom: a strong man breaks his wrist. First, after the outbreak of the Great Plague, the Phanos themselves must have stayed away from the Phanos Expeditionary Force. Depending on the spread of the plague, humans and orcs may still be within the reach of the native Fanos, and the other orcs in the expeditionary force are already dead in the eyes of the native Fanos population and bureaucrats. They will not accept these orcs who may be carrying the plague back to the Phanos continent again;Second, there are still hundreds of thousands of troops under the jurisdiction of the Holy See, most of them are not Jingrui, and it must be very difficult to transport these troops back to the Phanos continent, if they do not withdraw, they will remain as our prisoners, and eventually strengthen the strength of the coalition army;third, if they want to retreat, they must prevent pursuit, and more importantly, if they retreat, the alliance forces of the Eminole continent will immediately go on an expedition- This possibility is very high, especially the mountain dwarf kingdom, the sacred desert empire, and the small mercenary group, hate them to the bone. With hundreds of thousands of demoralized defeated divisions on the one hand, and hundreds of thousands of wolf-like enemy troops trailing after them on the other, it is very likely that all the defenses of the Fanos continent will collapse as a whole. Then you say, what is the real purpose of His Highness Renaud in initiating this battle?"
Although Amy was still smiling, under the full sun, the three dragon knight boys all felt chills: "What do you mean...... He's going to ......"
"Yes, attrition, not only the orc soldiers, but also the newly formed instructors - I think that all believers of the right age have been organized into soldiers by now. More importantly, to use this process to consume us, to make it impossible for us to go on expeditions in the short post-war period - of course, it would be better if we could win this battle. Taking a step back, even if the Western Emperor was completely defeated in this battle, it would be impossible for the Eminole coalition army to go on an expedition immediately after the crushing victory. Then the Western Emperor will have a year or more to form a new army on the Fanos Continent, and at that time, if the Eminole Continental Alliance Army goes on another expedition, a logistics line of 10,000 nautical miles plus a hurricane, and when the expeditionary force lands on the Fanos continent, what are the chances of victory in the face of the rearmed Fanos army?"
"Oh my god. Dark Qiusheng stretched out his hand to scratch his head but scratched his head, his fingernails scratched the metal helmet and made people scream: "How can they be so ruthless? β
"Get out!" Amy flew up again and kicked Dark Autumn Sheng in the head, "Didn't you brush the toilet enough?"
"Commander, listen to what you mean, do I think they will only send the fish belly army to participate in this war?"
Amy was stunned for a moment when she heard these two words, and after a moment the smile on her face vanished.
What did the head of the regiment remember? The three teenagers were very strange, in the eyes of Ling Yun and Dian Qiusheng, it was obvious that Hu Erdu had just said something nonsense.
"Let's go, go back. Khurdu, remember to go back and remind me, and let Deputy Head Gelsu give you a great credit. Amy stood up and wiped the map from the ground with her foot, apparently not ready to continue the conversation. The three dragon knight boys all knew that the head of the regiment was going to go back and discuss it with Daqing Mountain and Chi Aotian.
