Prince Caton's face was pale, since the position of heir to the throne was stripped away, the position of commander-in-chief of the army was his last reliance, and Karan launched an attack on this position, trying to replace him. Once even this identity is taken away, he really has nothing.

He stood up and wanted to speak, but the Demon God Emperor waved his hand to signal him to sit down, and the gesture seemed to drive away a fly that flew in front of him. The prince immediately knew that his father's love for him was probably the same as that of the fly. He looked at the crowd with pleading eyes, but the ministers avoided him, consciously or unconsciously. Now, a sectarian struggle between the heirs to the throne has been exposed in broad daylight, and the ministers are all too slippery, and no one wants to get involved.

"Let me say a few words. The Black Sand Army Division spoke, his voice as calm as if he was discussing whether to eat or drink porridge for dinner: "In terms of war preparations, we have indeed underestimated the enemy, and there is nothing to be afraid of, but all the mistakes cannot be attributed to the prince. In a large-scale racial war, the victory or defeat of a certain city and region, the victory or defeat of a small battle, is a very common thing. ”

A few months after his disappearance, the advisor mysteriously reappeared in the palace without explaining to anyone the reason for his departure. Now, he is presiding over the Imperial Caucus. Is this guy from the Senea tribe?" Yun Qianxue thought secretly. Not only himself, but the other conference attendees must have had the same question: from the moment they entered the door, Yerma and Leo had been aiming at the black sand with bad intentions. But since His Majesty the Divine Emperor had no objection to Heisha's qualifications to attend, of course, no one would mention it.

Kalan's face was dissatisfied, and as he was speaking, Yun Qianxue hurriedly kicked him under the table, and he immediately came to his senses: it was very stupid to clash head-on with such a minister who was deeply favored by the Demon God Emperor. He obediently lowered his head and put on a look of humility seeking advice. The whole conference room could hear only the peaceful sound of black sand.

"Although the strength of our clan is superior to that of the Tartars, the army is scattered throughout the kingdom, such as the Vinkra Legion (the Sixth Legion of the Kingdom) defending against the barbarians in the Eastern Wilderness, the Legion of the Duke of Peima (the Eleventh Legion of the Kingdom) stationed in the valley from the Siga Mountains to the Furo River, the Lingbu Legion (the Fifth Legion of the Kingdom) stationed at the front of Valen to defend against humans, the Ludi Legion (the Eighth Legion of the Kingdom) stationed in the Far East, and the Gusta Legion (the Seventh Legion of the Kingdom) stationed in the Black River Plain. In the battle with the rebels in the Far East, the Eighth Army suffered heavy casualties, most of its soldiers have been annihilated, and we cannot count on them in future wars, but the rest of the legions are composed of Senean warriors, and the commanders are all Senean royalty, and there is no problem in loyalty. Due to their distribution throughout the kingdom, none of these forces were able to function.

In the Huanggi region, we were able to mobilize the Yerma Legion (3rd Army) and the Yulin Army (2nd Army). The most powerful of the Guards Brigade (the First Legion of the Kingdom) is unfortunately paralyzed and unable to function because the chiefs of each clan have ordered their high-ranking warriors not to participate in the civil war. In this way, in addition to defending Gyeonggi, the Yulin Legion also had to take on the task of the Imperial Palace Jǐng Ring, which was originally the responsibility of the Guards Brigade. Therefore, the only one we can fight with is Lord Yerma's legion.

The Tatar armies were all stationed in Ghana territory, and they could be assembled at the sound of a command. The Tartars have long since been armed, and even children as young as seven or eight years old have taken up arms -- we are not only facing the rebels of the "Phoenix Legion of Fire" (the ninth legion of the kingdom, belonging to the Tatar clan) and the "Hellfire Legion" (the tenth legion of the kingdom, belonging to the Tatar clan), we are actually facing a race of all people! ”

Hearing the thoughtful distinction of the Black Sand Military Division, Prince Caton's eyes suddenly turned red and moist.

In the past, when he was in power, he often resented the Black Sand military division for not giving him face, but now that he has become a water dog, the only one who comes out to speak up for himself is the military advisor. After being deprived of the right to inherit, everyone still respects themselves on the face, but the taste of their eyes has changed. The ministers who used to follow him around are now all rushing to get close to Kahlan and Yun Qianxuetao. In order to redeem the impression in his father's eyes, he worked hard and worked day and night, but the obscurity seemed to have taken root in his body, and the bad luck continued, and it was easy to survive the black sèrì son of the Lu Emperor's rebellion, and then the rebellion of the Tatar tribe came, as the nominal commander of the Senean army, he had to bear all the faults, and the scolding behind his back was not broken, and he was miserable.

As soon as he thought of this, Prince Caton burst into tears and fell straight down: This is really wronged! Several large army commanders are more than a cow, which one is willing to listen to himself? Yerma This guy has been fighting for 70 years, and the enemies range from humans, orcs, snakes, to civil wars between various demon tribes, and all creatures that walk on two legs on the continent are kangaroos, and he will look at a hairy boy who is only the age of his grandson? Leo is his father's direct subordinate. The minister of the guard, except for his father, he does not buy anyone's account; Yun Qianxue is a close confidant of his sworn enemy Karan; Ling Buxu looks unfathomable, and no one can figure out his details; the only one among the commanders of the great army who bows to him is Emperor Lu, and he himself spares no effort to cultivate him and support him to become the governor of the Far East. It's a pity that this guy is really unbearable to cultivate, and he has dragged himself into hell.

"The military advisor said very well, who dares to say that he has made no mistakes in his life? It is useless to chase the past, it is better to try his best to save the future. After the military advisor spoke, the Demon God Emperor, who had been silent, also made a statement. He stared at the crowd, and under the pressure of his gaze, everyone was in danger.

Kahlan understood that this was his father's warning him to stop pestering. So he swallowed the dissatisfaction in his stomach, and showed the brightest smile: "What the father and the military advisor said is really good, who is not at fault?" He nodded to the military advisor cordially - if resentment could kill, Heisha would have died fifty times earlier.

The ministers chimed in, saying, "Yes, yes, we all say, yes." ”

The issue returned to the right track of solving the problem, and the Demon God Emperor asked: "Everyone, Aiqing, who will contribute good ideas?"

The old general Yerma Jianyì led a mobile team to sneak attack the empty Ghana Military Region in the rear, and smashed the old nest of the Tatar tribe, forcing Rus to allocate part of his forces to rescue and reduce the pressure on the defense line, but this mention was immediately vetoed by the Black Sand Military Division: the Tatars came with the heart of death this time, and they were bound to win the Demon God Castle, even if Yerma burned the entire Ghana Military Region into a white field, Rus would not pay attention.

Duke Leo stammered that he would lead a small number of Guards Brigade officers belonging to the Senea tribe as the vanguard, and the whole army would do their best to assault the main force of the Tartar tribe and try to defeat them in a battle. Without waiting for others to object, the Demon God Emperor had already spoken first: "You want to fight a field battle with the enemy army that has an absolute superiority in strength?"

Prince Caton cowered in the corner of the room, as if trying to hide in his shadow, and did not dare to say a word.

The discussion lasted for an hour, and the Senean ministers came up with all sorts of ridiculous and even whimsical ideas to solve the current predicament, the atmosphere was intense, the rhetoric was vitriol, but the conclusion was basically the same: the current military strength alone could not effectively stop the advance of the Tatars, and it was inevitable to send the outside army back to the Demon God Castle to support. After a short period of calculations and debates, Yerma, Yun Qianxue, Leo and other important military ministers all agreed with the following views:

1. To effectively stop the advance of the Tatar army, it is necessary to add 5~100,000 troops to the front line.

2. To repel the Tartars from all the territories they will occupy and hold onto, the additional force must not be less than 200,000, not including auxiliary armies for logistics.

3. In order to defeat the main force of the Tatars, defeat and eliminate the living forces of the Tatars from all areas, it is necessary to increase the strength of 30~400,000 troops, which does not include the same number of logistical auxiliary armies.

4. In order to achieve the above strategic objectives, the number of troops invested is inversely proportional to the future casualty rate of troops, and inversely proportional to the time it will take.

"I'll show you the bottom first. Yun Qianxue said, the handsome one-armed general looked around at everyone: "In addition to leaving a minimum of defense forces for the Holy Capital, the Imperial Palace, and the Divine Temple, the Yulin Army can also fight 50,000 people. ”

Hei Sha exclaimed, "Your Excellency Yu Lin is deeply aware of righteousness and is admirable. But in this way, the strength around Shengjing and His Majesty is inevitably thin. As a precaution, the Yulin Army sent 30,000 troops. ”

Everyone nodded, and no one objected. The Feather Forest Legion undertakes the heavy task of defending the Demon God Castle, and even if Yun Qianxue does not come out, he can justify it.

"From the Eastern Front, we can bring back 80,000 men from Vinkla. Black Sand continued.

"What about the barbarians?" asked Yerma.

"Don't worry about that. The Demon God Emperor interjected, "I will write a letter to Gotha Khan, and they will be in charge of the defense for the time being." ”

Surprised, Yerma stammered, "Will the Goang support us?" ”

"It is not against tradition that I am only asking them to defend themselves against barbarians, not to ask the Goang to send troops to fight in the civil war. ”

"But, Your Majesty, during the Imperial War, your power was stopped and you could not give orders to any clan. ”

"As the common descendant of the Great God Emperor, it is the common task of every God Clan to defend against the infestation of barbarians. I just gave Gotha Khan a 'Jianyì' and reminded him not to forget his own mission. ”

"But, what if the Goang don't obey?"

"Gotha Khan is not stupid, he will. Otherwise, after the Tatars, the Goons would be the second tribe to be wiped out. In the hands of my grandfather, the number of tribes he ordered to be annihilated exceeded double digits. My father's temper is so good that he has not even destroyed a single tribe, so that no one remembers that our Senea tribe used to be called the 'blood clan'. "The Demon God Emperor Sè is always faint, but the murderous aura that exudes makes everyone feel cold.

After intense calculations, Caton reported to the Demon God Emperor on behalf of the ministers: within a month, the Senea clan could gather about 260,000 troops in the area of the Demon God Castle.

The Demon God Emperor frowned slightly: "Can't you have more?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, except for General Winkla's troops, the rest of the troops were drawn from Duke Pema's Eleventh Legion and Gusta's Seventh Legion. In view of the complex situation and the current tense situation in the garrison, in order to stabilize the people's morale and deter ambitious people, the garrison should not be drawn too much, otherwise it will be counterproductive. ”

The Black Sand Army Division said it tactfully, but everyone understood what he meant. The 11th Legion of the Kingdom was stationed in the valley from the Xiga Mountains to the Fuluo River, which was the settlement of the Mongols, the largest tribe of the Kingdom, while the Heihe River Valley, where the 7th Legion of the Kingdom was stationed, was inhabited by the Yakun people. The above two races are both powerful races, and they are known as the three major tribes of the kingdom together with the Tatars, and they have always been the focus of Senea, the "golden tribe". The Senea deliberately stationed two powerful legions in the area of the two clans, and their intentions were known without asking.

Yun Qianxue stood up and bowed gracefully: "It is a shame for our courtiers to worry about Your Majesty. Please rest assured, we will complete the task!"

"But with only 260,000 troops," the Demon God Emperor muttered, he said slowly, "to wipe out a large tribe with a large population, even considering the bravery and skill of our warriors and the tactical command ability of all of you, this task is still too arduous. Can you add a little more? Even a team is good. ”

Prince Caton looked embarrassed. In order to piece together these more than 200,000 troops, everyone has racked their brains, and even the garrisons of only about 100 people in those small counties and towns have not let go. Where can we find troops now?

The Black Sand Army Division said slowly: "Actually, we still have one more legion that has been ignored by you: the Lingbu Void Legion of the Southwest Battalion, nearly 100,000 strong troops, most of them are Senea warriors, and there is no problem in terms of loyalty. ”

Everyone was so surprised that they couldn't speak, and the Demon God Emperor raised his eyebrows: "What does the military advisor mean by ordering the Southwest Legion to return to China to suppress the rebellion of the Tatar Clan?"

"Exactly, Your Majesty, and Ling Buxu's position is excellent, starting from the Far East, in four weeks, you can directly attack the empty hinterland of the Ghana Military Region from the rear, and cooperate with the main force of our army to flank the attack, and the Tatars will inevitably collapse quickly. ”

"What about the Far East, and the Southwest Legion is still responsible for the defense of humanity, who will guard the Valen Pass for us?"

"Your Majesty, it's rude, but do you think that the Southwest Army alone can complete the task of pacifying the Far East?"

The Demon God Emperor shook his head: "If Ling Buxu can solve it, we don't have to send Rose over - this bastard!"

"Since Ling Bu is unable to recover the Far East, and we don't have the extra troops to send him reinforcements, then the Southwest Army is meaningless in the Far East. Rather than let this army weaken in the battle against the rebels, why not send them back to suppress the Tartar rebellion? ”

Heisha's argument was impeccable, and everyone nodded silently. Yun Qianxue asked: "Master of the Army, the Southwest General is located in the westernmost province of Fumingke in the Far East, if General Ling Buxu hurries back to China in the starry night, he will pass through the seven provinces where the rebels are entrenched, and he will inevitably be pursued and intercepted by the rebels, after such a bloody battle for thousands of miles, I am afraid that the army can return to the kingdom itself is not thousands, right?"

"I agree with you on this point, Lord Yulin. The Far Easterners have just won the battle, and now they have the upper hand, and if they are to make way out, we may have to make concessions. ”

When the word "concession" was heard, everyone froze. The king's ** team has never had an opponent across the continent, and the chaotic people in the Far East, in the eyes of the proud Senean royal family, are just a group of blood-drinking, uncivilized barbarians, and the famous golden clan, which has a long history and reputation, wants to "make concessions" to them, which is really unbearable.

"What kind of concession?" General Yerma asked in a skeptical tone.

"I'm afraid there will be a lot of aspects. It is quite possible that the Far Easterners will make demands on us for political power - for the autonomy of the Far East and the status of the Far Eastern provinces in the Kingdom, as well as for the economy - and they may demand dúlì. ”

"No way!" Duke Yerma roared: "The Far Eastern territory was won by sacrificing the lives of more than 100,000 soldiers of the kingdom! In order to quell the rebellion, more than 100,000 soldiers were sacrificed! In the 23 provinces of the Far East, every inch of land is soaked with the blood of our soldiers, so if we give up, how can we explain to the soldiers? Military advisors, if you want to let the Far East dúlì, you are betraying the country!"

The old general's voice was like a bell, his white hair was majestic, and his words were awe-inspiring. He didn't have a lot of outstanding talent, and the reason why he was appointed as the commander of the tribal legion by the Demon God Emperor was because of his loyalty to the God Emperor and the clan, as well as his rich experience in a hundred battles. Although the physiological lifespan of the demon race can reach nearly 100 years, the demon race is out of the warlike nature of the sky, and there are constant wars between countries, between tribes, and even within tribes, and the male demon clan rarely lives past the age of fifty, but Yerma is eighty-three years old! As a warrior, he has survived the terrible dark ages, experienced the terrible war of extermination, and survived the terrible tyrant "Redbeard", which is an unimaginable miracle in itself. Within the Senea clan, especially among those officers of the middle and lower ranks, this veteran general enjoyed great prestige and was the representative of the military Beidou Taishan. He hated anything that harmed the interests of the army, and he bluntly accused Heisha of "traitorous state," and all the ministers did not change.

The old general was serious. Hei Sha said leisurely, even receiving such a severe accusation did not change his calm attitude: "Temporarily withdrawing the Lingbu Void Legion does not mean giving up the Far East, and when we have cleaned up the Tatars and freed up, it will be easy to recover the Far East." The masked military advisor raised his voice: "Even if we take 10,000 steps back, we have to give up the Far East - old general, is the Far East important, the wilderness, or is the life and death of our clan important?"

The Black Sand Division's words were irrefutablely harsh, and Yerma was speechless and muffled.

The prince of Karan said sharply: "No kingdom clan will agree to the Far East. None of those old tortoises want to go to war in the Far East, but if we agree to the Far East, then tomorrow morning half of the kingdom will throw stones at us, and they can't wait to oust us from power!"

The Black Sand Army Division nodded approvingly: "You are right, Prince, we cannot officially recognize the dúlì of the Far East under any circumstances. ”

"What is the concession that the military advisor is talking about?"

"It is impossible to dúlì in the Far East, but if we only appoint a new governor of the Far East, it will be much simpler - if we appoint the leader of the rebels in the Far East as the governor and let him rule the Far East, the war in the Far East will naturally end. ”

"Is the military advisor trying to recruit An?" Karan's eyes were full of suspicion: "Rebels will definitely die, and there is no precedent for recruiting An. If our people forgive the traitors first, the prestige of our people will be gone!"

"The traitors of the Far East surrendered to the kingdom, and the Far East is still the territory of the kingdom, so it is natural for our people to withdraw their army, and it will not affect the prestige of our people in the slightest. ”

"It is an indisputable fact that we have not been able to defeat the rebels in the Far East on the battlefield and have had to compromise with them, no matter how good the name may be. ”

"Victory doesn't have to be achieved on the battlefield, and sometimes a pen and paper at the negotiating table can achieve greater benefits than a sword and a bow and arrow. ”

"Without Ling Buxu and the Southwest Battalion, who will guard the southwest border for my kingdom?

"Don't worry about that at all. Because the Zichuan family has a reputation for being good at picking the fruits of victory, the Far Easterners are a hundred times more than us. In order to protect the fruits of victory, they will never allow humanity to dye the Far East. Even if we don't say it, they will also station a large army in front of the Valen fortress. ”

Prince Kalan rolled his eyes, he had nothing to say, and with his wisdom and eloquence, he could not gain the slightest advantage over the Black Sand Military Division.

"Your Majesty," Heisha turned to the Demon God Emperor, "It's been eighty years since the last Imperial War, and Rus's rebellion is certainly due to his wolf ambitions, but there is another important reason: after eighty years of recuperation, the tribes that suffered heavy casualties in the last Imperial War have all recovered, and they are coveting hegemony!"

We are faced with one of the most serious problems we have ever faced in history, and the threat is not just from the Tatars! Two days ago, Yagomi of the Yakun tribe and Meng Khan of the Mongolian tribe secretly met in the Sea of Azov. The meeting between the chiefs of the tribes did not violate any of the kingdom's decrees, and we have no way of knowing what their conversation was, but in these extraordinary times it is quite suspicious. No one can say what will happen next, which tribes will be loyal and which will be suspicious.

Transferring back to Ling Buxu, the worst possibility is to lose the Far East, that's nothing, the Far East is not ours in the first place; but we have already lost the Lu Di Legion, if we lose the Ling Buxu Legion again, our clan's Jīng Rui disciples will be killed and wounded, and we will be in a catastrophe! Seeing the weakness of our clan, even if we exterminate the Tatar clan, it will be useless, all the races will pounce on us like wolves, and the second, third, and even the hundredth challenger will soon appear, and we will fall into annihilation! In this extraordinary period, it is very necessary to transfer the reliable army back to the side and maintain the strength of the clan to deal with the unexpected!

The war must not be delayed for long, and it must be resolved quickly in order to deter the tribes who are on the sidelines. Please make a holy decision quickly!"

No one can make a sound. The prospect painted by the Black Sand Army was terrifying, and everyone knew that this was anything but alarmist: it was in this way that the mighty Yessai dynasty eighty years ago was crushed by successive challenges.

Prince Caton was the first to raise his hand and said, "I'm in favor of the military division." ”

Duke Leo also raised his hand: "I don't understand the big reason, but it sounds like the military advisor is very reasonable." I've seen with my own eyes that if one of the wolves gets injured first, the other wolves will rush up and eat it!"

Then, Yun Qianxue and other generals also spoke out in agreement, and even Yerma and Karan, who were the most resolute opponents just now, reluctantly raised their hands after grinding for a while.

The Demon God Emperor looked at the black sand: "Strategist, do you think that there is only one way left to transfer back to Ling Buxu from the Far East?"

"No, if it's just to defeat the Tartars, the current strength will do. But if you want to fight quickly, Weichen thinks that Ling Buxu's troops are indispensable. ”

The old general Yerma knelt down and said: "The incompetence of the ministers has embarrassed His Majesty, but please rest assured, just wait for the Tatar clan to be destroyed, and Weichen is willing to lead the army westward and crush the rebels into powder!"

After Yerma, all the ministers knelt down and pleaded guilty.

The Demon God Emperor didn't care too much, waved his hand and said, "Get up! It's not your Aiqing's fault. He lowered his eyes, his fingers tapping nimbly on the tabletop. There was silence in the room, and no one made a sound to interfere with the Demon God Emperor's thoughts. After a long while, when the Demon God Emperor opened his eyes, he had already made up his mind and said clearly: "Make an order! Immediately recruit Ling Buxu to return to China, and at the same time send people to contact the rebels in the Far East." ”

"The military and civilians of the Far East obeyed the order:

You and others were forced to take military action to oppose Emperor Lu's tyranny, and the reason was already known to our emperor. Emperor Lu has now been removed from his post and investigated, my emperor is magnanimous and sympathizes with his ignorance, and Yun'er and others have also lost their way and returned to the right path of loyal and good subjects of the kingdom.

He laid down his arms and surrendered immediately. This is the last chance, and I hope to cherish it.

Chin this"

After writing the last word, the Demon God Emperor put down his pen and said to Heisha, "It is not appropriate to mention the appointment of a rebel leader in your will. ”

"My Emperor Shengming. Heisha nodded: "This matter is indeed too delicate to be put into words, it only needs to be dictated by the negotiating envoy." ”

Both of them were embarrassed to talk about this matter in depth, and Heisha immediately changed the subject: "Your Majesty, since the Far East is the defeated side of surrender, according to the custom of surrender, they still have to pay a war compensation, I don't know how much Your Majesty plans to set?"

The Demon God Emperor smiled dumbly: "Compensation for defeat? Did they really lose the battle?" Military advisor, I just beg them not to reach out to me and ask for Ling Buxu's money to buy the road!"

"Majesty, we have to charge a certain amount of compensation no matter what, even if it is a symbol of xìng. Having received compensation for the vanquished, this is inconclusive proof that we are the victors, and no one has anything to say. ”

"In that case, let's set a million taels of silver!"

Yun Qianxue asked: "What if the Far East Yankees have no money?"

"Your Excellency Yu Lin is very thoughtful. The finances of the rebels in the Far East are indeed not very rich, and if they are asked to come up with a large amount of gold, Wechen is worried that he will ......"

"Pull it down, Strategist. The Demon God Emperor was impatient with these red tapes: "If they really don't have any money, then we will lend them money first, and then let them publicly return it to us at the surrender ceremony." ”

"Yes. Also, it is said that in Kearney and the ensuing campaign, many Senean officers and soldiers became prisoners of war by Far Easterners, in the tens of thousands!"

"Ransom them back with the gold of the treasury! Our people are in dire need of soldiers while they are employing men—but the matter must be kept secret. ”

"Wechen understands that it will never be leaked. ”

Due to the haste of the incident, the upper echelons of the Demon God Castle knew very little about the rebels. Yun Qianxue reported to everyone: The rebel army in the Far East is composed of five major tribes, the specific strength and distribution of which are unknown, and the headquarters is located in the city of Kearny in Minsk Province. Their leader is a mysterious figure known as the "King of Light", who wears a mask and no one knows his true face.

The King of Light rose to prominence in the Great Far Eastern Rebellion of 781, and was unreservedly and fully supported by the Far Eastern orc race, and is the founder of the current Far Eastern Alliance. This man is a god of soldiers, and has repeatedly defeated the kingdom's crusading armies with a small army. He always wore a bronze mask to battle, took the lead in battle, was extremely brave, and cherished his soldiers, with clear rewards and punishments, and won the support of the coalition forces. His army was highly disciplined, never disturbed the people, and was called the "Righteous Army" by the Far Easterners. According to unconfirmed rumors, there is a human cavalry unit in the coalition army, which is strong in combat and is known as the "Black Army" because it is used to fighting in black.

"Human cavalry, does the King of Light have anything to do with the Zichuan family?" asked Yerma.

Yun Qianxue replied: "There is no definite evidence, and we can't understand it for the time being." ”

The Demon God Emperor muttered, "King of Light, what a wise and brave hero! It's a pity that such a talent can't be used by the kingdom. Who will you send to negotiate with this King of Light?"

Heisha muttered, "The envoy must meet the following conditions. First, he had to be high enough to win the trust of the rebels, and the negotiations had to be secret and not spread, and the emissary had to find only one of us.

Second, time is pressing, negotiations are very delicate, some conditions must be sought, some may as well make a slight concession, thousands of miles away can not ask His Majesty, the envoy must make his own judgment, the opportunity to make a decision, which requires the envoy to have a cool head and decisive ability.

Third, the envoy went deep into the enemy's den, faced with thousands of enemies, and in order to represent the dignity of our kingdom and be calm, he must have extraordinary courage.

Fourth, the envoy should have a certain affinity and charm, and it is best to know some Far Eastern languages and human languages......"

There is only one person who can meet all these criteria. didn't wait for the military advisor to finish speaking, so everyone looked at Yun Qianxue. He smiled bitterly: "Strategist, you don't need to say it. ”

"I don't like that. When the meeting was over, and only the second prince of the demon clan and General Yulin were left alone in the spacious meeting hall, the prince of Karan cursed: "The holy demon god is on top! This whole mention yì is just-" He used a very vulgar expression in the demon language, which means a piece of shit on the side of the road: "That black sand, what the hell does he want to do! Let's stop the war with the Far Eastern barbarians? Why is he so good to those Far Eastern barbarians?"

Yun Qianxue asked with a little difficulty: "Your Highness, I want to ask, what is the identity of the military advisor, why does His Highness trust him so much, is he a member of our Seneya clan?"

Kahland's hippie smile flickered, and he said coldly: "Who is Black Sand? Ayun, if you want to live longer, it's best not to ask this question, don't even think about it! How General Osmawi died, you shouldn't forget, right?"

Yun Qianxue shivered, and the drunken troublesome general used his sword to pick open the veil of the black sand, which was just a drunken frolic, but the result was unexpectedly cruel: in order to prevent the news from leaking, His Majesty the Demon God Emperor personally shot and killed General Osmawi and all the people present, and dozens of high-ranking officers and nobles were killed because of that unexpected tragedy.

Prince Kalan lowered his voice: "I don't know what the reason for my father to trust him is, but I know that this guy definitely contains evil intentions! When Caton was in power, he took good care of you, and when we gained the upper hand, he ran to support Caton - he was deliberately trying to provoke chaos within our Protoss! Now he has proposed that we make a truce with the Far East and raise tigers for trouble, I'm sure that he must have colluded with those Far Eastern barbarians! Ayun, you have to beware, his origin is too strange, he is not from our Protoss!"

Yun Qianxue was shocked: "Impossible!"

"I am familiar with every member of the Senea Royal Family, I have met all the members of the Imperial Family of the entire God Clan, and there is absolutely no him in the roster of the Royal Family!"

"Is it possible that he was disguised by a member of the royal family?"

"Impossible!" Prince Kalan said categorically: "You also know that as long as I meet someone once, I can immediately distinguish his voice, smell, and steps, and immediately remember his body and movements, and no one can hide it from me!"

Yun Qianxue nodded silently, this was a secret that only he and Karan knew. Concealed by his cynical playboy exterior, the second prince of the demon clan has an extraordinary talent - or a special ability, he can see through all the disguises of the other party at a glance, his memory is too good to remember, and his intuition is surprisingly sharp when it comes to discerning loyalty, and he has hardly made any mistakes in judgment.

When he was a child, by chance, Yun Qianxue saw Karan's ability: when he was punching, Yun Qianxue actually lost one hundred and seventy-one Kalan, and he couldn't win even one. From that time on, he understood that the second prince had super fortune, had natural emperor qualifications, and was worthy of following him for the rest of his life.

He asked, "Then, is it possible that the military advisor is a member of the Protoss, but not a member of the royal family......

Kahlan sneered, "Do you think it's possible that he is one of those simple-minded green-haired low-level gods?"

Thinking about it, it was impossible, Yun Qianxue shook her head in frustration.

"Then, there is only one possible ...... left" The two looked out of the window at the same time, the back of the black-robed man was walking far away from the main entrance of the palace, and Prince Kalan bit his lip tightly: "If it is not my race, its heart will be different." Ah Yun, you have to watch out for him!"

Yun Qianxue nodded lightly, thinking of the care that the Black Sand Military Division had taken care of herself in the past, those warm words and blessings, like a gentle elder and senior, thinking that she would be an enemy of him in the future, and her heart couldn't help but feel slightly sad.

Unaware of the burning gaze behind him, the Black Sand Army Division leisurely paced out of the main entrance of the palace, and the two rows of guards of the Guards Brigade stood guard immediately saluted. Standing on the white jade steps of the majestic palace, the cool wind was blowing in his face, the black robe was fluttering in the wind, and the chief military division of the demon clan who was in power was relaxed and happy.

Looking at the clouds in the western sky, he muttered to himself, "For that old immortal's sake, I have done everything I can for you." Now, it's up to you to take your chance, my-"

He paused slightly, as if he was not used to saying these two words, and his voice was as low as a gentle breath: "--Ah Xiu." ”

In July 782, the news of the Battle of Tran flew like a bird with wings all over the Far East. In every mountain, village, town, from person to person, village to village, every living person is running to tell each other, even people who don't know each other can't help but hug each other excitedly when they hear the news, tears flow, toast each other. Prayer bells rang out in churches in towns and villages, and the messenger excitedly announced: "Great victory! Great victory! This is an unprecedented victory! The 170,000 demon army attacked, and nearly 80,000 people were wiped out and captured, and more than 100 high-ranking officers below the governor of the Far East were captured! Now we can completely break the backbone of the demon cubs! It is only because of the mercy of His Royal Highness the King of Light that those remnants of the demon clan have escaped with a way out! They ran back to the country in a gloomy manner, and they panicked, even if they didn't even have the courage to look back! Our army is now on the border!"

And for the remnants of the demon garrisons in various places, the victory of Tranda undoubtedly means that the sky is falling apart. Of course, some of the news is exaggerated so much that they still don't believe it, for example, in front of the King of Light, the high-ranking nobleman of the kingdom, Rose, fell to his knees in the dust, crying and shouting: "We are willing to pay a million ransoms, we are willing to pay tribute, we just ask you to let us go home alive." "But the defeat of the 170,000 crusading reinforcements, the capture of the Great Governor of the Far East, the capture of Lu Di, and the fall of the demons in the Far East's last fortress, any of these pieces of news are enough to scare them into despair. In the provinces close to the border, most of the demon army fled back to the country with their baggage, and the rest of the troops were also panicked, and there were many deserters.

The King of Light is marching from victory to victory, unstoppable. The people blessed in unison: "May the great god Audi bless our king with a hundred victories! May he live forever!" Regarding the next military action, some people boldly guessed: "Next, His Royal Highness the King of Light will be killed into the territory of the demon clan with a thunderous force, and he will carry a sword and fire, so that the demon cubs can taste the power of the Far Easterners!"

But the experienced old man retorted: "Although the reinforced demon invasion army has been defeated, there are still a large demon army entrenched in Fumingke Province, which is a poisonous needle pierced in the interior of the Far East, threatening our rear at all times. With the wisdom and wisdom of His Highness the King of Light, it is impossible not to see this. The goal of the king's next step must be to use troops against the southwest!" In the teahouses of every village and town, there are quite a few supporters of the arguments of the two factions, and they often quarrel and blush.

But none of them could guess correctly. In the Battle of Tran, although the Far Eastern Coalition Army achieved brilliant results, its own losses were not small, only under the city of Tran, the Far Eastern Coalition Army suffered more than 18,000 casualties, and all the main forces lost considerable soldiers. Moreover, the troops were already very tired from the continuous fighting. For this reason, it is quite necessary to give the troops a period of rest and replenishment.

In view of this, Shikawa Shu decided not to conduct a major military operation in the near future, focusing on the work of eliminating the defeated soldiers and remnants of the demon clan. Leaving Roger's First Army to guard Tran City, he personally led Shirakawa's Second Army and the base camp from south to north to clear the remnants of the demon garrisons in the northeastern border provinces.

This is the case in many cities, as soon as the army of the King of Light arrived, the coalition issued a statement to guarantee the safety of the surrendered demon officers and soldiers, Lu Di roared twice under the city, his old troops saw that the resistance was hopeless, and the remaining garrisons had no intention of fighting, and most of them obediently came out in line to surrender. In the capital of a certain province, a town commander said that he would "fight until the last moment", but before the Far Eastern coalition could attack the city, his men rushed to him and tied him up.

"Bold!" the commander struggled desperately: "Do you guys want to rebel?

"You're the one who is the next one, don't you see the bottom of it, but the Golden Feather (the Governor of the Far East) is much higher than your White Feather (Captain of the Hundred)!" said the soldiers, handing over the bundled commander to the coalition forces, and generously said, "Please chop him!"

A handful of strongholds, guarded by diehards, are still resisting. Hiding behind the wide moat and thick city walls, the demon soldiers shouted arrogantly: "Come on, King of Light! Far Easterners, come and die!"

Come on, come on. At the order of the King of Light, thousands of catapults, siege vehicles, shock vehicles, and climbing vehicles appeared in the Far Eastern Army's formation. Tran is the largest warehouse of the demons in the Far East, and a large number of weapons and equipment stored there by the demons have been seized. In less than an hour, the overwhelming stone slushing smashed the city wall to pieces, and the platform of the boarding car was higher than the city tower, and the archers suppressed it so that the demons did not dare to raise their heads. Before the stunned demon soldiers came back to their senses, they only heard a loud "boom" under the city, the dust was flying, the shock car had already broken through the city gate, and a large number of infantry swarmed in. For the cities that dared to resist, Zichuan Xiu ordered that the coalition forces leave no prisoners and kill them one by one.

The coalition forces captured all the way and achieved brilliant results. Taking advantage of the aftermath of the victory in Tranda, Zichuan Xiu quickly seized a large area of cities and land. He was greeted not by a crowd of swords, guns and arrows, but by a welcoming crowd of people, flowers, wine, and the affectionate eyes of young girls, and cheers: "Long live our liberators!" "Long live the coalition forces!" "Long live the Far East!" and "Long live the King of Light!" This kind of scene of unity between the army and the people as a family was staged once in every liberated city, and the morale of the army was unprecedentedly high.

On July 28, 782, the army marched to Gaza City, a famous city in the eastern part of the Far East.

The local demon garrison only passed through the resistance of the symbolic xìng, and less than half an hour after the battle began, a large number of infantry of the coalition army swarmed to attack the city, and the demon defenders retreated to the streets. Seeing that the coalition forces were strong, the commander also knew that resistance was hopeless, and raised a white flag calling for negotiations. In order to preserve the historic Far Eastern city intact and to reduce the damage to the allied soldiers, Shikawa Shu made an exception and agreed to meet with him.

During the talks, after the old boss Lu Di personally lobbied, the demon commander finally agreed to surrender. More than a thousand demon soldiers marched out of the city and threw down weapons and flags at the city gates. They were then surrounded by a large number of heavily armed coalition soldiers. The captives moved uneasily. Lu Di appeased them and announced that the Far Eastern Alliance would guarantee the personal safety of the demon soldiers, and only then did the prisoners calm down, and the original officers consciously came out to maintain order and count the number of people.

Bran went to meet with the original town guard chief to receive the headquarters of the demons, the half-orc Busen went with the transport team to receive the grain warehouse, weapons warehouse and finances, and the snake clan's Soth went with the army to receive the demon army camp area and placed the demon army prisoners by the way. After many times along the way, the officers were already very familiar with how to take over the city, and they didn't need Zichuan Xiu to command it at all. He was idle, and he was a little embarrassed to see everyone busy, so he sneaked out the back door of the headquarters.

The sun is shining. Taking off his mask and wearing an ordinary soldier's uniform, strolling through the familiar streets of Gaza, Zichuan Xiu felt a rare sense of relief and joy. When was the last time you came to this city? That should have been four years ago? At that time, he had just finished the Third Battle of Hengchuan, and the unified army was stationed here, and at that time, Shirakawa and the other three had just been assigned to be his subordinates by the General Staff of the Far Eastern Army.

How amazing the passage of time is, but in just four years, the world has been turned upside down. At that time, the three childish deputy flag books have now grown into commanders and generals who are in charge of their own affairs. Zi Chuanxiu smiled dumbly: Looking back on the past, what a pure and carefree era it was!

He heard a warm cheer in his ears: "Long live the King of Light!" He turned to see that the troops of the coalition army were entering the city, and the majestic military columns of the pale green sè were endless, the banners of the golden sè were flying in the wind, and the streets were crowded with people, it was a sea of flowers, smiles and joy, and the cheers were overwhelming.

Zi Chuanxiu stopped to watch, and at this happy time, he thought of the gentle, slightly sickly tired smiling face, and his eyes moistened slightly: My lord, the land of the Far East that you have devoted your whole life to defending, and now I have taken it back and firmly guarded it. If the Heroic Spirit is here, you should be proud of me too, right?

"Sir......" A trembling voice interrupted Zichuan Xiu's thoughts: "Sir-it's a human race, right?"

Zi Chuan Xiu turned around, and an old half-orc stood in front of him, his face full of surprise: "I'm not mistaken, right?

"Old man, is there something wrong?"

The old orc looked at Zichuan Xiu again and again, rubbed his eyes and said, "It's really a human race...... Gaza has not seen Terrans for a long time...... Those rì sons, we drove out the Terrans, burned the churches - we did such a thing to our brothers, what a wickedness, that's why we brought the scourge!—but then again, you have bullied us too hard in the past......"

Zi Chuanxiu looked at him quietly, and the old orc babbled: "There are bad people in the human race, but most of them are good people. I still remember that in the past, Chief Zichuan Xiu, he was a good man, and he never spoiled us Zoe people, but some of the chiefs were very bad -- it's a pity! Those things shouldn't have happened, brothers killed each other, and blood flowed like rivers -- it really shouldn't be! We did evil!"

Zi Chuanxiu patted him on the shoulder with relief: "It's all over, old man, it's all over." ”

The old orc shook Zi Chuanxiu's hand and said with emotion: "Yes, it's all gone, and now you're back, it's really good! Remember the lessons of the past! Zoe and Terran, we are brothers, and we must not kill each other...... Welcome back......"

Watching the old orc's staggering back gradually disappear, Zi Chuanxiu was silent. Can people really learn from history? He was really skeptical. Looking at the cheering crowd welcoming the Liberation Army of the King of Light in front of him, and the smiling faces with tears and excitement, he believed that people's joy was from the heart and not false. But two years ago, the same group of people welcomed the demon army, right? Or three hundred years ago, their ancestors also welcomed the Zichuan family's army into the Far East?

There was a familiar sound of footsteps behind him, and Zi Chuanxiu turned around, and a Tingting girl was walking towards him. He rubbed his eyes and widened in disbelief: this was Shirakawa who had changed into civilian clothes and a skirt. For a moment, he was stunned: he had always been used to the appearance of Shirakawa's dress, and he didn't expect her to be so beautiful in a dress.

Seeing Zichuan Xiu's straight eyes, Shirakawa smiled generously, a beautiful in-situ twist and dance move, and the skirt bloomed like a flower: "I haven't worn plainclothes for a long time, by the way, is it good-looking?"

"Well, it would have been nice to have a shorter skirt. ”

“...... I'll hack you to death!"

Shirakawa told Shirokawa that he had just received a notification that Tran City had sent an emergency messenger. The Demon Kingdom intends to negotiate with the Far Eastern Coalition Army, escorted by Roger's soldiers and horses, and the negotiating envoy has arrived in Gaza.

"My lord, who the messenger of the demon clan is, I promise you will never guess!" Bai Chuan said mysteriously.

Zi Chuanxiu said casually: "Could it be Yun Qianxue?" He didn't know many demons, and the one who got along with him the longest and deepest was His Excellency Yulin.

In an instant, Bai Chuan's mouth opened into a "0", and Zi Chuanxiu was also stunned: "No, you can be hit casually!"
