Chapter 529

Chapter 529

"Blackwater. Sophie pondered for a moment and glanced at this Hildo: "So, you are also the patriarch of the original establishment of the Black Flag Army by His Excellency Hasting?"

"Yes, when the Hastins founded their army, I myself served under my lordship. Hildo tǐng started xiōng and said proudly: "I have been serving under the command of the adult for ten years!"

Sophie nodded: "So, as you said, there are thirteen clans in your army that have pledged allegiance to Lord Hasting, then...... Your army has invaded our country this time and entrenched itself in Nots......"

"This is war. Hildo said coldly: "The southern expedition is an order from His Majesty the God Emperor, and as an Odin man, he cannot refuse the call of His Majesty the God Emperor." ”

"In other words, although you owe allegiance to Hasting, you can't refuse the orders of Emperor Odin?" Sophie smiled and said lightly, "So, what if there is any conflict between Lord Hasting, whom you are loyal to, and His Majesty the Emperor Odin......"

Hildo's face immediately became very difficult to look at.

Green coughed at the right time, and said, "Chief of Staff, the current situation is quite special. The Black Flag has always had some secret agreements with us. But now things have changed...... The interior of the Odin Empire, now ...... Well, there have been some political moves. ”

"Oh?" Sophie's eyes lit up.

"Just a few days ago, General Hastings was wounded in the army, and the three hundred guards around him were almost completely killed and wounded. Immediately, news came from within the Odin Empire that the Odin Empire had officially declared eight tribes, including the Blackwater Tribe, to be rebellious...... These eight tribes happen to be among the thirteen tribes that secretly allegiance to Hasting. So......" Green said this, deliberately shutting his mouth.

"I see. Sophie nodded: "However, as far as I know, General Hastings has always been known as the Odin Martial God, and his own strength is even more unfathomable, and he will be seriously injured in his own army, under the escort of hundreds of personal guards, so the person who injured General Hastings is ......"

Hildo's face suddenly showed a hint of panic, and he gritted his teeth hard. However, after a while, he still said slowly: "In the empire, the only person who can have such strength and defeat Lord Hastings head-on is His Royal Highness Garin, His Majesty's crown prince...... Or ......"

Or, though Hildo didn't say it, everyone in the room understood what he meant!

Odin God Emperor! That terrible existence personally took action?!

"We, the Blackwater and other tribes, are not really committed to treason. We just united to resist the enslavement of the five major tribes, and we didn't dare to betray the empire or the heart of His Majesty the God Emperor, but now we ......"

"But right now, you don't have a choice. Sophie's words made Hildo's face change dramatically.

Emperor Odin actually took action in person, and it is not difficult to understand this approach: the most direct and effective way to cut off the Hasteen group that has formed a threat to his empire is to attack Hasteen himself. Hasting, known as the Odin Valkyrie, is known as the Valkyrie of Odin, and his greatest capital is his prestige and undefeated aura. But once Hastings was in his own army, hundreds of guards were wounded, then...... I am afraid that his prestige will be greatly damaged. At the same time, an order came from Odin to declare the eight tribes as rebels, which was a talisman to disintegrate the Black Flag Army!

There were thirteen tribes loyal to Hasting, but only eight of them were declared rebellious in the country, which was undoubtedly very sinister.

With just one move, the Black Flag Army could easily be split internally! The thirteen tribes loyal to Hasting, those who were declared rebellious, and those who were not, would surely be suspicious of each other from now on!

Either outright rebellion, or ...... It's infighting!

"The domestic order has been blocked by Lord Hasting, and now the contact between the Black Flag Army and the country has been completely severed by the henchmen sent by the adults, and all the messengers from the country have been secretly sent by the adults to capture and kill, but the news, I'm afraid, can't be blocked all the time. Once the news from home reaches the military, I am afraid that the morale of the army will be unstable. "Hildo is obviously a rough man who is not good at intrigues, and he actually bluntly said his dilemma in front of people.

"And what about you?" Sophie smiled, "Your Excellency Hildo, you ......"

"We have no choice but to return to the Hastings, even if Odin has declared us a rebel, we can only continue to serve Lord Hastin, because there is only a dead end to returning home. Hildo said lightly: "You are not Odinite, you Byzantines will not understand the cruelty of the war between the clans within our Odin Kingdom, and what will happen to the tribes that have been declared rebellious." Our tribes will be expelled from their domains, the strong will be reduced to hard labor, and the fù and the young will be reduced to slavery. There is even a cruel practice in Odin's country, in order to prevent the rebellious tribe from rising, the victor will carry out a bloody purge of the defeated tribe, and all children who are taller than the wheels will be killed!"

"So now your domestic ......," Sophie frowned.

Hildo's god suddenly darkened, and a trace of sadness flowed from his eyes: "The news from the country has been coming for a long time, I'm afraid...... Now several of our tribes have begun to suffer a brutal cleansing, our homes may have been burned down, and the elderly, children and NVs who remain at home have been ......."

Sophie sighed softly.

This is the Odin.

The Odin have always behaved like this: bloody, brutal, direct!

They seldom have any intrigues, rarely scheming, but like to use this most direct and straightforward means to completely cleanse their enemies with blood!

Even in Sophie's opinion, the way these Odin people sent people to contact the Northern Army was too naïve and stupid.

The smart thing to do is not to tell the other party frankly how desperate you have fallen into at the beginning, at least you should do some hypocritical cover-up first...... In this way, the other party clearly knows that he is in a desperate situation, isn't there even a little capital for negotiation?

"Now, then, your plan" is to ......" Sophie already had a bottom in her heart, and glanced at Green.

Green coughed and said slowly: "The Black Flag Army has been launched, and His Excellency Hasting, led by eight thousand jīng Rui, has already sent troops from the capital of Nods County, moving towards Moore County, and is currently stationed by the river on the border between the two counties. His Excellency Hildo is here on orders to get in touch with us, and then ......"

"Understood. Sophie stood up and said with a smile: "Your Excellency Hildo Warrior, you must have been very tired from all the way, so please go down and rest first." I'm sure you can also understand that this matter is very important, and our northern army also needs to make some careful deliberations before we can respond to your army's request, so ......"

Hildo stood up, frowned at the delicate NV kid in front of him, and then looked at Green: "Before I came, Lord Hasting's order made me meet General Char Leiming, so ......"

"I'm sorry, General Chara Leiming went to Corsica to inspect and didn't return, so I'm afraid you won't be able to see the general this time. But please believe that our Northern Army will definitely give you an answer as soon as possible about this matter. ”

As he spoke, Green had already made a "please" gesture.

Hildo nodded disappointedly, he picked up a wide black sè cloak from the chair next to him and put it on, the thick hat completely obscured his appearance, and then Green summoned the captain of his personal guard and took Hildo down to rest.

"That's the way it is. Green looked at Sophie, "Do you have any suggestions?"

"First, as Hildo said just now, Hastings brought eight thousand jīng rui to the border between Moore and Nods...... According to the information I have, the strength of the Black Flag Army must be more than 30,000, even excluding the auxiliaries, which I know are very few in the army of the Odin. And Hastings only has 8,000 people with him now, can I understand that Hastings can no longer control the entire army of the Black Flag Army, and he can control it with confidence, only the 8,000 people who remain in his hands, these 8,000 people are his henchmen?"

Sophie's words made Green nod: "On this point, my guess is consistent with that of the chief of staff. ”

Green then smiled bitterly: "I know the Odin, the war between the tribes of those Odinites is indeed very cruel, and I also believe that it is possible for those xiǎo tribes to secretly be loyal to Hasting, but this kind of allegiance is actually nothing more than those xiǎo tribes in order to survive, choosing Hasting, a figure with considerable prestige in Odin, as their umbrella and representative of interests." But I can be sure of one thing, those Odin people would never have the courage to betray their god-emperor in a desperate situation! Within the Odin Empire, the prestige of the Odin god-emperor is beyond the comprehension of Byzantines like us. The Odin, almost every Odin, worshipped their god-emperor as if he were a god. ”

Sophie nodded: "So, once the eight tribes are declared rebellious in the country, Hastings himself probably knows very well that even if he has outstanding prestige in the Black Flag Army, but if the country declares himself a rebel, then a considerable number of people in the Black Flag Army will immediately fall to the God Emperor without hesitation...... simply gave up most of the army that he was not sure to control, and only chose the safest way to take away his confidant Jīng Rui. ”

Speaking of this, Sophie suddenly became solemn: "I still have a question, I really can't understand it...... Emperor Odin, why did you do this?"

She sighed, "I mean, Emperor Odin, why did you choose to cut off Hasting's wings at this time. At this point in time, it's so strange. The Odin Empire invaded our country in the south, although the Red Snow Army was defeated, but the other two fronts have achieved great results, and our country is now in the country, it is a good time for the Odin people to expand their achievements. Even if Hasteen secretly gathered some strength to make Odin feel a threat in the country, but this kind of purge was not done sooner or later, but he chose to ...... now."

Speaking of this, Sophie's tone became more and more eccentric: "It seems to me that the rulers of a country, especially a wise one, tend to be very cautious or clever when choosing to cut off a powerful group that threatens them. There are only two situations in which the group is really attacked: in the first case, when the group is already showing signs of danger and can really threaten the rule of those in power. Otherwise, those in power would not have chosen to do such a massive purge. But it is clear that Hastings and the Black Flag Army do not fit this point. It is true that Hastings himself is known as Odin's first general, known as Odin's martial god, and the Black Flag Army is also jīng rui. But...... The position of the Odin God Emperor in the hearts of the Odin people cannot be shaken, and the Odin God Emperor is a god-like existence for the Odin people, and this god-like status is definitely not something that a so-called 'Odin Valkyrie' in Hastings can shake. And judging by the size of the Black Flag Army...... The entire Black Flag Army was only 30,000 men. With such a small number of troops, it is really difficult to say that it is a huge threat to the huge Odin Empire. You must know that with the supreme prestige of the Odin God Emperor in Odin, let alone 30,000 Black Flag troops, even if it is 100,000 people, it is difficult to really threaten the rule of the God Emperor, so ......"

Sophie's eyes immediately became brighter and brighter, and she said slowly: "So, the second possibility...... When the previous generation of rulers cedes their positions of power to the next generation, in order to ensure the stability of their rule, they will carry out an iron-fisted purge of some unstable factors......!

Green suddenly changed his mind: "The chief of staff means that the domestic ...... of the Odin Empire"

"Who knows, maybe...... Now the god emperor in the Odin Empire is no longer the one we know. ”

Sophie's eyes shone strangely.

......

If Char were here at the moment, she would have been shocked by this young NV boy again.

The abdication of the Odin Emperor Hannigan is still a secret to the whole world. The truth of Char's meeting with Hannigan has not been told to anyone else, which is also a wordless tacit understanding between the two. At that time, not many people in the world knew that the terrifying strong man in the north had broken free from thirty years of imprisonment and set foot on the continent again, and even fewer people knew that the strong man had lost the seemingly supreme title.

......

"Well, the changes within the Odin Empire don't need us to think about it for the time being. The problem before us is the Black Flag Army. Green frowned and looked at Sophie: "Char is not here, military affairs and government affairs are the affairs of you and me, and the affairs of the Black Flag Army are a big problem." Although we seem to have some family background now, we have the land of three counties, tens of thousands of troops, and thousands of jīng sharp cavalry. But surrounded by a group of enemies, the so-called foreign aid is also far away in the imperial capital, and now from this imperial capital's military order, most of the old men in the imperial capital just want to use our northern army as cannon fodder. So ......"

"Take them. ”

Sophie spat out such a sentence categorically, which made Green's face a little moved.

He didn't wonder that Sophie would come to such a conclusion, but...... said it so simply, so categorically without hesitation, but it was beyond Green's expectations.

Looking at Green's strange eyes, Sophie smiled coldly: "Can there be any other better way?" In fact, General Green, you and I both know very well in our hearts that everyone is inclined to accept this Black Flag Army. Instead of us sitting here and discussing for a long time, our heads hurt, and in the end, wouldn't we make the same decision? Accepting this Black Flag Army is the best choice we can make at the moment. ”

"But ......"

"I understand your concerns, in fact, in my heart, how can I not have them. It's the Black Flag Army after all. Hmph......" Sophie laughed a little ridiculously: "The prestige of the Black Flag Army is prominent, the invincible Iron Army in the world, ridiculous Yes, most of the prestige of this Iron Army is written with the blood of our Byzantine army." With the lives of unknown Byzantine soldiers, how many generals were defeated under Hasting's men, and finally completed the myth of the undefeated Black Flag Army. Right now...... This biggest opponent who once gave us a headache and gave us nightmares is going to take refuge, how can it not make people feel the ridiculousness of fate. ”

Green and Juncker couldn't help but glance at each other, and they both had a feeling of emotion in their hearts.

Both of them are soldiers, and Green is a standard emperor. Although Juncker has always been only a secret army of the royal family, after all, he has also carried out a lot of secret military intelligence missions, how can he not know the great threat of the Black Flag Army and the Odin Valkyrie to the Byzantine Empire.

Over the years, the Black Flag Army has defeated many Byzantine troops, how many flag regiments and corps that once had a glorious history have been wiped out under the iron hooves of the Black Flag Army, and how many heroic and famous generals of the empire have fallen under Hasting's three-edged war spear.

Even the few famous generals in the empire now, such as Adric, when he was in command of the empire's first Jīng Rui Rodria cavalry, he was not able to bargain for the Black Flag Army. And Ruhl, just by escaping safely from the Black Flag Army, is already praised as a famous general.

For all the soldiers of the empire, the name of the Black Flag Army is really a lingering shame.

"Eight thousand Black Flag Army, presumably Hasting can bring it out, it must be the jīng sharp among the jīng sharp. Eight thousand brave and fierce Odin Jīng warriors, and they are already outlaws, in a desperate situation, completely and completely loyal to Hasting...... Can we control such a force?" Green sighed.

At this time, Juncker also chuckled: "And Hasting." This person is not inferior, and he is known as a leader in the Odin Empire, and he can be called a generation of heroes. Just imagine, even a figure like the God Emperor Odin can't completely surrender to him, can't get his complete allegiance, such a person has taken refuge in us, I'm afraid it ......"

Sophie smiled and said, "Both of you are old words, but I don't have any opinions." ”

The weak man stood up, paced back and forth in the room for a moment, and said slowly: "Aren't we worried about the military order in the imperial capital? Now the arrival of these 8,000 Black Flag troops is our best solution! These 8,000 people are tigers and wolves, but as long as we control their supplies, we will naturally have a way to drive them." It's really not good, take 10,000 steps back, and directly drive them to the territory of which warlord governor, let them fend for themselves, and fight to the death with those warlords, which will also benefit us without harm. Besides, you have forgotten one thing, now is the time when the Black Flag Army is at its weakest, think about it, the eight thousand most invincible Odin warriors, this is a sharp sword, if it is used by us. Hmph, what we are doing is a dangerous business, are we going to abandon such a sharp knife because we are afraid that the knife will be too sharp, and we are afraid of cutting our hands?"

After all, Green is the commander-in-chief, and his vision is also higher, so he took the lead in sighing: "What the chief of staff said is good...... We're actually tempted, rather than looking ahead and thinking about it for a long time, and finally not making the same decision to accept them. This is indeed our best choice. If these 8,000 Black Flag troops are used well, they can indeed open up a new situation in the stalemate situation in the north. I support the Chief of Staff's opinion. ”

Juncker sighed and bowed to the two: "The two are the people in charge of the military and politics, since both of them have the same meaning, then I naturally support it." But...... How to accept them and how to operate them still needs to be cautious. ”

Sophie immediately said: "How to operate this matter, naturally Lord Green came to do it." After all, this is military affairs, and I don't know much about military affairs, so this matter will require Lord Green to work hard. It's just that for the time being, the message still has to be blocked. Well...... I had another idea. ”

"Speak. "Green has more and more respect for this NV man.

"For such a big matter, Hastings sent someone to contact us, should we also send someone to show our sincerity. The other party sent someone, but we didn't even see our commander, I was afraid that the other party would have some misunderstanding. So...... The candidates sent to the Black Flag Army are neither light nor heavy. Although Lord Green is the head of the army, you are now in Xincheng, and you are under the control of the whole army, so you can't easily move. So, why don't I take a trip? ”

"You?"

"Sophie?!"

Two men change sè at the same time.

Such a delicate and weak NV went to the camp of the Black Flag Army in person? Mo said that the two sides have some contact now, but after all, it is difficult to distinguish between friend and foe, and such a delicate NV went to the nest of eight thousand tigers and wolves, and it is inevitable that it will ......

"Needless to say, I think about this matter, and it is most appropriate for me to go. First, my status is not an official position, speaking of which, I am just a subordinate staff member of General Char Leiming. I will go, it will not cause much movement, after all, an unofficial subordinate officer, it is also convenient to keep secrets. Second, since General Green can't move without permission, then I go, in terms of identity, can also show our sincerity and respect for them, how can I say that I am also General Char's chief of staff, from a certain point of view, I can be regarded as General Char's representative. As for the third ......"

Sophie, this NV kid smiled mysteriously: "I myself am also very interested in this famous Odin Valkyrie, go and meet this legendary person, see what kind of person he is, and have a bottom in my heart." ”

Her words had already come to this point, and both Green and Juncker found it impossible to argue, so they could only agree silently.

Juncker, however, suddenly let out a long sigh and muttered something in a low voice.

Sophie and Green looked at Juncker, but Juncker smiled bitterly: "I'm not against it...... It's just that I suddenly have a very jealous idea of Xia Ya Lei Ming's xiǎo son. This guy suddenly disappeared, the figure was gone, and he threw a bunch of stalls to us, but we had to bother to help him deal with all these bad things, and we were afraid that it would not be thorough, but the guy, with a shake of his hands, didn't care about anything, and sat back and enjoyed the results - from ancient times to the present, where have we ever seen such a relaxed boss. ”

......

Just when Juncker cursed Char, in fact, our Uncle Char was not easy at all at the moment.

In the midst of that crystal dòngxùe, Char faced the ground in front of him, and the other party's eyes were already firmly fixed on him, and he still couldn't help but feel a little weak in his heart.

Suffice it to say, there was never a moment when he was so nervous.

With the strength of the other party, I'm afraid that I can wipe myself out by raising my hand......

Just when Char was stiff and ready to wait for his fate, the dwarf Xiǎo Di Jīng in front of him suddenly stretched out his arms to himself, and his mouth let out a cheering sound.

"Oak Oak!!"

With a bang, Char was warmly hugged by the other party before he could speak.

※※※

It's not a hug of etiquette, but a standard "bear hug".

The "ground jīng" in his arms opened his hands and feet almost at the same time, and hung on Char's body like an octopus, a complete and unreserved "hug"!

Oak Oak?

Char heard this familiar jīng sentence and froze on the spot.

I don't know how long it took, when Char came back to his senses, the "thing" in his arms was still hanging on his body, and when he looked up, a pair of green eyes looked at him so enthusiastically, still shouting.

"Okeok?Okeok!!Okeok??"

Char didn't know much about the jīng language, especially because it was very different from the ancient jīng language and the modern jīng language used in the wildfire fields. However, in the final analysis, the language used in the current jīng language is also born from the ancient jīng language, but because of the destruction of civilization, the language and culture left are extremely limited, which directly causes the lack and rudimentary vulgarity of the current jīng language.

However, Char can still generally understand Oak's words.

Now, at this time, this "thing" in front of you is showing favor to yourself.

Char swallowed and spat with difficulty, barely squeezing out a smile: "Okeok!"

"Oak !!!!"

Char's response obviously made the "god" in front of him very satisfied, and the other party responded to Char's greeting more warmly.

This hug lasted for more than ten minutes, and the other party finally let go of Char.

Immediately, the green sè's head turned to see Tatara lying on the ground.

Soon, the enthusiastic eyes were gone, and the green eyes were filled with disgust and hatred.

"Dead base! dead base !!"

In the language of 地jīng, dead base means bad, bad, nasty, broken, killed, dead...... And so on and so forth.

The angry voice made Char shiver immediately.

Just when this guy shouted, a powerful bō movement was directly sensed on Char's body, just the emotional bō movement, which made Char feel as if he was in the midst of a stormy sea!

And obviously, the target of the other party's anger is clear: Tataro lying on the ground!

(Thankfully, at least the remaining magic of Tatara managed to transform himself into a jīng.) Char was glad in his heart, otherwise, he would be the one who would face this guy's anger now.

However, Char immediately stopped in front of Todora, shook his hands desperately, and then pointed to Todora on the ground: "Soso!Soso!!"

In the jīng language, Suo Suo means what Char is most familiar with: booty, captives, possessions......

Fortunately, this god of the earth seemed to understand what Char meant, and the green eyes turned, pointing to Dotara on the ground, and then pointing to Char: "Suosuo?"

"Soso!"

Char hurriedly patted his xiōng bore vigorously.

The god of the earth finally smiled, and it smiled kindly at Char: "Soso!

Char relaxed a little, at least saving Todora.

But after a few moments, Char knew that she was in big trouble!

The green thing seemed to suddenly seem to move, and after jumping a few times, it casually raised its hand, and after a red light, a fire came out of the pit next to it.

The green thing quickly ran to the side and threw a few crystals into the fire......

Char stood aside and looked at it suspiciously for a long time before he finally barely recognized it.

This guy ......

It...... It's like, piling up a stove?!

That's right, it's a stove!!

Then, the guy jumped next to Char again, pointed at Tatara on the ground, made a motion of swallowing saliva hard, and even stretched out his tongue tiǎn tiǎn mouth.

Char is all too familiar with this action!!

Immediately, seeing that the god of the earth had already bent down to hug the big tuǐ of Duoduoluo, Char immediately became terrified!

Because he suddenly understood what the problem was!

In the language of the ground jīng.

In addition to the spoils of war, captives, property, etc., the meaning of "Suosuo" is ......

Food!!

At the thought of this, Char almost fainted!

This god of the earth jīng actually wanted to put the poor Mr. Magician ...... Serve as food......

Eat?!!!

(Ahem, let's pray together for poor Master Magician...... )
