Chapter 238: Joining Forces to Defend Against the Enemy
Hearing this, the corners of Jeffrey's eyebrows rose slightly, as if he doubted the credibility of Finn Lauren's words, but he did not refuse directly, but asked vigilantly, "What kind of alliance do you call joining forces to defeat the enemy?"
"We need the Council to provide the right to use weapons, and the weapons in the arsenals from all over the country will be airlifted back to the inner city, and we will use the inner city as a base to launch a surprise attack on the orc warships in the wilderness, and take back the power core, in exchange for the opportunity to negotiate with the orc leader again, as long as the power core is back in our hands, I think the negotiation situation will definitely be more favorable to us."
Finn Laurener said, "Of course, the ideal situation is to directly defeat the orc leader, rebuild the outer city, and gradually destroy the remnants of the orcs on the ninth star, but all of this must be based on our success in retrieving the power core."
Reasonably, there was nothing wrong with what he said, but Jeffrey didn't seem satisfied.
"Since it's a common defense against the enemy, how much combat power can you provide for this battle?"
His indifferent eyes swept over the filthy and foul-smelling disaster settlement, and said in a playful tone, "First of all, I don't accept you to get a group of stinky victims to fight with my soldiers."
The victims of the disaster in the outer city were bullied in the inner city, and everyone was already very dissatisfied with these nobles, as soon as they heard Jeffrey say such things openly, someone in the disaster group immediately rolled up their sleeves and was about to go up to theorize, but they were pressed back by Shu Yungui with his eyes.
He knew that Jeffrey was just a little quick to speak, but Jeffrey could still see the big picture, and at this time, the two sides had no other way to go except to cooperate.
It's just that Geoffrey's question stopped Finn Lauren, he looked sideways at Shu Yungui, and then glanced at the victims of the disaster outside the city behind him in embarrassment.
Indeed, as the rightful king of the ninth star, he could not draw more troops than the group of people behind him now.
Seeing his embarrassment, Jeffrey's eyes flashed, and he took the opportunity to propose: "In this way, these people in your hands are difficult to become combat power, even if they are forcibly sent to the battlefield, they will only be sent to death, I have a proposal, use my soldiers and your generals, and after success, both sides will have their own merits, how about it?"
"My will?"
Finn Laurener asked, "Who do you want?"
Jeffrey's hand finally lifted from under the tip of his nose, reached out of the car window, and pointed straight at Shu Yungui, and then drew a half-arc, and then pointed at Gopaolo.
"I want this boy plus the knights of the King's Order, and I can provide each of them with a thousand troops and matching guns and ammunition, but this army can only be commanded by me, and you must stay here in exchange for my weapons and manpower."
Gopaul raised his eyebrows and said, "Phew! We are the Knights of the King, not the Knights of the Council, so why should we be at your disposal?"
"Then you can see how long you can hold out in front of the orc leader without my help."
Jeffrey was not annoyed, he knew that among the three forces of the Ninth Star today, the king's side was the least fearful, if he didn't want to exchange for Shu Yungui's help, he wouldn't have wasted this time to talk about any cooperation at all.
"Yes, then let's arrange it as you say."
At this point, Finn Laurener agreed very simply, and the members of the Knights of the King and Cornelys advised him to think twice, but the seriously ill king shook his head and said to Geoffrey, "As long as you get back the power core, I will issue an abdication edict and give you the throne, hoping that you are truly good for the people of the ninth star and can fight for them a bright future."
Without further ado, the night wind stimulated him to cough repeatedly, he waved his hand, signaling everyone to stay here and wait for the assignment, while he walked to the off-road vehicle parked by the city wall and went to sleep.
The atmosphere between the two sides who were left behind was very awkward for a while, the coexistence faction was arrogant, the Knights of the King were eyeing each other, Shu Yungui didn't say anything, and secretly turned around while Jeffrey and Secretary of Defense Gran were talking about specific combat methods, and the person in charge of digging the tunnel gave him a thumbs up, indicating that the tunnel had been dug to the forbidden place.
He sat quietly in the wooden room, seemingly resting with his eyes closed, but in fact he was constantly thinking.
It is impossible for the people in the outer city to stay in the inner city anymore, and the people in the inner city will not let go of their prejudices against the people in the outer city because of the special situation, and after this trouble, they will not provide any jobs for the people in the outer city, and they will not be able to exchange food without a job, and the only way to wait for these people in the outer city is to starve to death.
But listening to Geoffrey's words just now, he made up his mind to keep the king and this group of victims as hostages, and the king said that after all, Geoffrey was still waiting for him to issue an abdication edict, and he would not be treated badly no matter what, but it was not easy to say about the disaster victims, lack of food and clothing, water and medicine, and the war ended quickly, in case it dragged into a protracted war, this group of people might be dragged to death here.
But at this time, the outer city is full of dangers, and rebuilding the city wall is a very huge project, and it is not easy to drive out the orcs inside, which belongs to the wolf in front and the tiger in the back, whether it is to stay in the inner city or leave, it seems that it is not a good way.
Shu Yungui's head was about to explode, and he even felt that the second interstellar migration proposed by Fein Laurener was a very realistic proposal, the ninth star was already so bad, the mountains and rivers were exhausted, it was better to change the environment and fight again.
However, the terrifying female image in the intelligent master of the 09 immigration spaceship prevented Shu Yungui's thoughts from continuing to diverge down this path.
Even if they didn't get a positive response from Dai Xinjie, the weird woman in the intelligent master of the 09 immigration spaceship must have an inextricable relationship with the muse server, if the muse server is not uprooted, no matter which planet they immigrate to, they will be rediscovered and invaded again through cosmic signals.
Thinking about it this way, the root of everything is still on the muse server.
"I see you've been sitting here for a long time."
Cornelies's voice sounded in front of him, Shu Yungui opened his eyes, and saw Cornelys wearing a coat of the King's Knights, but she was still shivering in the night wind, so Shu Yungui moved a little place to let her sit, but in the too narrow wooden compartment, the two inevitably squeezed together arm by arm.
"What are you thinking?" Cornelies, tugging her windswept hair together, slowly braided it down beside her neck.
"Thinking about the Muse, there are still too many questions about it that I haven't figured out."
Cornelius lowered her head, a puddle of water on the muddy ground in front of her, reflecting the starry sky tonight.
"I'm so sorry to get you into this mess, but you can leave us alone."
"Don't say that anymore at this time, let's think about what to do next."
Shu Yungui said in a low voice: "Jeffrey's purpose is very clear, he will definitely let me lead the troops out of the city to fight later, which is nothing, but I am worried that he will be unfavorable to your cousin."
"Why?!" Cornelies' eyes widened, and she said hurriedly, "My cousin has promised to give him the throne, what is he not satisfied with?!"
"You think people's hearts are too simple, after all, the Laurener family has ruled the ninth star for so long, and their position in the hearts of the people is far from being easily replaced by Jeffrey, as long as your cousin is still alive, he will be worried all day long, worried that the throne he has robbed while he is burning will one day be overthrown again by others on the grounds of supporting the royal family."
"Only your cousin is dead, no...... Perhaps only when you, the House of Laurenol, disappear, will he be able to sit on the throne."
Corneerys was so nervous that she couldn't even breathe, Shu Yungui hurriedly comforted her when she saw this, and said, "Geoffrey may not do anything to you so quickly, but he asked your cousin to stay in the city because he wanted to take him hostage, so as to control the Knights of the King who were fighting outside would not dare to mess around."
"We must prepare in advance, including those victims of the outer city, they can't continue to stay in the inner city, I let them dig tunnels for this purpose, and when we go out of the city to fight, Geoffrey's attention must be on the battlefield, and he will even follow the battle himself, at that time you will take your cousin out of the tunnel, cross the outer city and go directly to the wilderness."
"I'm not leaving!" Corneerys almost stood up and said firmly, "I'm going to fight with you!"
Shu Yungui chuckled, "Protecting your cousin from here is also part of the battle."
Corneerys was speechless, so she could only keep her head down, tears slowly forming up in her eyes.
"Now the orcs on the ninth star are attracted by Dai Xinjie and are gathering near the outer city, and now there are very few orcs in the wilderness, you go directly to the wilderness, find the nearest city, find the strongest building to hide temporarily, and I will look for you again after the war is over."
A tear the size of a bean finally fell, shattering the water surface reflected in the starlight, and Cornelius choked up, "There are so many orcs, what if you die?"
Shu Yungui was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "I won't die, I still have to go back to the Hope Star Field, so no matter what, I won't let myself die here, you can rest assured."
Cornelies sniffed at the mention of this and asked with tears in her eyes, "Why haven't your friends come to pick you up yet?"
Shu Yungui didn't know if Cheng Sikong's kid had recovered, so he shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't know, but listening to your tone, it seems that you want me to get out of here quickly?"
"yes, I want you to leave quickly."
Corneliese muttered, "They took you away, and I didn't worry about you dying."
Shu Yungui didn't know what to say to comfort this very insecure girl, her life had changed drastically in just a few months, Shu Yungui knew that she must be very panicked now, and there was no one to rely on, so that she promised her that she would not die, but she was still worried about it.
He was still searching for comforting words, but at this time Gran was shouting his name outside, as if the tactics had been discussed and he was ready to assign the task.
Shu Yun got up and walked out, and didn't take two steps, but was stopped by Cornelies behind him.
"Shu Yungui!"
She stood beside the plank room in the starry sky, letting the night breeze ruffle her long hair and dress.
"You must live!"
She shouted.
