Chapter 182: Resoluteness (II)
"The people of Turin have agreed to your terms of peace, noble Grand Chief of Asreel!"
With a humble tone, a warrior of the Blue Wolf Clan, dressed in a black long-sleeved robe that resembled a Turine, knelt down on one knee at Asriel's feet: "After hearing our proposal, they agreed almost without even thinking about it, and did not even dare to contradict me. ”
The envoy also had a humble smile of disdain on his face: "It seems that these lowly guys have been completely intimidated by your strength, and they no longer dare to show off their might to the Blue Wolf Clan!"
"Shock, hehe......" Asriel, who was sitting on the soft couch and sipping wine in the big tent, laughed suddenly: "What do you think our enemies are - they are Turine, a bunch of arrogant and self-righteous fools who think they are the only ones in the world!"
"They won't be intimidated, and even if these fools lose a hundred times, a thousand times, they won't lose their arrogance and arrogance - the so-called compromise is always temporary. He casually threw the glass on the table opposite, and with a sneering smile, Asriel stood up and stretched out his arm very lazily: "Tell me, what are the conditions for the people of Turin?"
"Yes. The envoy lowered his head again, not daring to refute anything at all: "First of all, the Duke of Hantu City has agreed to all your conditions - to abandon the Iron Cliff Mountain and retreat to the southeast corner, secondly, to release all the captives of the Hantu tribe who were captured in the southeast corner, and finally, every year merchants from Hantu City will come to the southeast corner to trade and exchange goods with the Blue Wolf Clan. ”
"And then, what are their requirements?"
"No, they're just asking you to keep your promises. It is not allowed to step on a single step over the iron cliffs...... 'the people of Turin are proud and keep their promises'. That's what the Duke said!" The sarcasm on the tribal emissary's face grew stronger: "I was when I came out. I also heard that this Duke was clamoring to flee back to Hantu City a few days ago!"
"Have they already begun to retreat?" Asriel continued to ask, as if he hadn't heard what the messenger had said.
"They said they would have to wait a few days, and they would have to discuss it - probably just to save the face of His Royal Highness the little duke, but the barracks were full of rumors of a retreat, and the warriors of the Turines were sighing and packing up their things, and there was not even a single one who was ready to stay. ”
...... The young Blue Wolf Grand Chief hesitated a little, originally he completely wiped out the Feather Legion, and even the deserters and prisoners were just to provoke this Duke of Hantu City. Unexpectedly, it backfired, which completely frightened the people of Turin and disrupted his initial plan.
Although this is not a bad thing, at least it can take the entire Iron Crag without a single soldier, but the anxiety in his heart has always made Asriel dare not believe that this is true, and the people of Turin are really afraid.
Even so, Asriel raised an eyebrow: "In that case, let's get ready to take over the lands that belong to us - sooner or later, Iron Crag Mountain is ours." ”
"Pardon me for one more question, Honorable Great Chief. "See the languid look of the black-haired boy. The messenger raised his head tremblingly, looked up and trembled, and said, "All this. It's all just a ploy on your part, isn't it - just a trick to trick the people of Turin, we're going to hit the Vast City, right?"
"You promised us, you promised all of us - to drive the people of Turin out of the Turines, to retake the city of the Turines, to reclaim the sacred land that had been defiled by the Turin people for three hundred years, to reclaim the fertile land that can feed half of the Turines, and to make the whole of the Turin a true kingdom!"
"Of course, how can you doubt this, my dear friend. Asriel said in a tone of course, his innocent eyes widening, "How could I tell the truth to a bunch of damned Turinese? It was all a lie, just to buy time for our army - all for the final battle, for the capture of Hantu City, for the complete destruction of the Twin Towers that had blocked the Hantu people for three hundred years, in order to avenge all the Hantu people who had died and suffered humiliation!"
"For revenge!" The words seemed to make any Hantu person excited, and the messenger clenched his fists tightly, so excited that his whole body trembled: "And we will stand under the totem of the Blue Wolf Clan, and you will be crowned king!"
"Thank you for your blessings, my friend. With a hypocritical smile, Asriel, who leaned down slightly, helped the messenger up, and said as if casually asking, "By the way, did you see a guy named Edward Witwood in the military camp of the Duke of Hantu City?"
"Are you talking about the Chief Flag Officer, the commander of the Battle Banner Legion?" the messenger's eyes lit up, and then he scratched his head with a strange expression: "Before I left, he asked me to bring you a word. ”
"What?"
"Thank you for your hospitality, which he and the entire Banner Regiments will never forget - and send you the sincerest greetings and wish you a long and healthy life. Speaking of this, the envoy himself scratched his head a little: "This guy is very strange, but he is very trusted by the Duke of Hantu City, and his status in Hantu City is also very high. ”
May I live a long and healthy life...... Although it was a "blessing", the corner of Asriel's eyes still picked, and he casually sent the messenger out, and it didn't take long for the leader of the Blue Wolf Clan to walk in, looking much more stable than the original Blue Wolf Great Chief's bodyguard, Kaho: "Your servant salutes you, Grand Chief Asrael - please do not hesitate to command." ”
"I need you to take the vanguard of the army and grab the Eagle Fall Mountain as quickly as possible!" the black-haired young man's expression was extremely serious: "No matter what, we must not let the Turineites occupy it again - otherwise our achievements in destroying the Feather Legion will be lost!"
Yes, it seems that the people of Turin agreed to the conditions of retreat, but who knows if they really mean it - or rather, like themselves, it is just to buy time? Asriel is not going to take any risks until he has received any guarantees, and of course this kind of key place must be seized in the first place.
"I don't care how many horses you run and die, or how many warriors you die of exhaustion...... In any case, take the Eagle Fall Mountain as soon as possible - if it is occupied by the Turinees, then take it down at all costs!"
"Understood!" the blue wolf warrior didn't say anything more, nodded vigorously like a calm rock, got up and walked out. The young Blue Wolf Grand Chief let out a long sigh, and the smile on his face gradually faded, leaving only a wordless coldness.
Edward Witwood...... This guy's words are full of threats, obviously he is just a guy with only a few thousand soldiers, and if he is in his own clan, he can only be regarded as a samurai, why should he threaten himself?
Is he crazy...... No, no, no, the person who can defeat that guy Gragu is definitely not a madman - at least a very san, very powerful madman, worthy of being taken seriously.
"Eagle Falling Mountain...... Edward Witwood, will you go there?" The black-haired boy seemed to be talking to himself, looking at the sunset that was about to sink in the distance, his cheeks were dyed with a faint layer of gold, and there was suddenly something more in his eyes, and he suddenly turned his head to look at the blue wolf warrior behind him: "Go and stop the guy who just left, and tell him not to go." ”
"Also, inform the entire Blue Wolf Clan and let them all be on standby, this time I will personally go and take down the Eagle Fall Mountain!" Asriel's voice had a strange brilliance in it: "I must see with my own eyes the totem of the Blue Wolf Clan planted there, and see the moment when the flaming goshawk banner of the Turin people falls." ”
"If they don't, then let's make Eagle Fall a little more worthy of its name...... Let the flaming goshawk fall on the cliff, like all eagles that spread their wings and soar into the sky!" )
