Chapter 528: Invitation to Negotiation
This strategy has been used well, the tulip dukedom got a large territory, in order not to fall into the truth, but also returned the territory rewarded by the autumn moon country, leaving only the one he occupied, it will not be long before he can become a country, and even move towards the empire.
Although the new territory had to be rebuilt, the morale of the soldiers and civilians in the territory was high, and every meritorious person was given a large amount of land and wealth, so that the vast majority of the people became landlords, and they could only buy slaves to fill their territory after the war, and some people had already taken action.
But when the metal empire changed its strategy, the development trend of Shun lรฌ was also changed. The Metal Empire actually dug countless hidden caves, and when the troops of the Mad God Gate passed over and became entangled with the troops on their own side, they swarmed out and killed the Tulip troops that followed. Although they were wiped out every time, Tulip's troops were also rapidly consumed, making Duke Tulip anxious. I had to turn to Chen Qing for help, so that the attack speed of the Mad God Gate's troops was suspended, and help clear out these hidden enemies.
Quickly bulldozing the entire metal empire is Chen Qing's main purpose, but Duke Tulip's request cannot be ignored, if they advance too fast, they will not be able to eat so many territories, and they will probably be killed by hidden enemies. had to let the Mad God Gate send troops to assist in the clearance, and also sent evil ghosts and slaves to secretly help to find out those hidden soldiers in advance, so as to exterminate them, but it was still a drop in the bucket, and the pace of the attack was greatly slowed down.
Duke Tulip finally became ruthless, opened the vault, took out the wealth accumulated by the Tulip family, and began to hire soldiers from the human world to eliminate the metal people in the occupied territory, but this only slightly relieved the pressure. The most terrifying thing is those self-detonating metal men, God knows where they will come from, they choose to self-detonate in crowded places, and a large number of people die every day, making the pace of annexation more and more difficult.
In the other direction, several small countries that took advantage of the opportunity to pick up cheap troops were wiped out and were overwhelmed like a tide by the countless troops of the metal empire. In the past, Lauder just wanted to calm things down, first settle the inside and then the outside, so he ceded the land and paid compensation, did not use real strength, and completely ruthless under the danger of destroying the country.
Having wiped out the forces of these small countries, the forces of the Metal Empire faithfully carried out Lauder's orders, and they rushed into the human world and scattered to kill, slaughtering the living people they saw, and only transforming some of the captured powerful people into semi-metal people, so that they could join the slaughter.
Taking advantage of the situation will not lead to disaster, these small countries have never thought that the metal empire will not resist the most fierce invasion of the mad god gate, but they have raised their butcher knives against them. When the main force was defeated and the territory was invaded and wailed, these small countries had to ask for help from the surrounding powers.
The surrounding powers have long been greedy for the action of carving up the metal empire, but they are separated by small countries as a buffer zone, and there is no reasonable reason to send troops, but this time they are in the middle of it. In the name of rescuing humanity, he sent troops on a large scale, and annexed these small countries by taking advantage of the situation, and while clearing the metal people, he launched an attack on the metal empire and joined the feast of expanding the territory.
"Bang Dang ......"
When Lauder learned that the great powers had also begun to take action, a wine glass filled with the blood of the Ancestors was smashed by him, and the gray blood soaked the snow-white wool carpet on the ground.
"Damn humans, fight with them......"
The senior generals under his command are already excited, several great powers are attacking, and the metal empire that does not have a large number of troops to replenish it cannot resist, and the military action against the sea of stars has weakened their national strength, and the continuous battles have made it even worse.
Lauder glanced at his subordinates and shouted, "What do you fight?" Order down, shrink your forces, and wait for the opportunity to counterattack. After spreading the news, I want to talk to Chen Qing and ask him to come to see me, if I guess correctly, this large-scale human invasion was provoked by him. As long as the Mad God Gate retreats, other empires are not a problem. It's just a matter of losing some territory, and I can afford to lose it. โ
"Your Majesty, how could Chen Qing have such a great energy to invite the Mad God Gate when he first arrived in the Endless Continent, and even if the news spreads, he won't dare to come!"
Faced with the doubts of his subordinates, Lauder closed his metal eyes in pain, and faint words came out of his mouth.
"Never underestimate Chen Qing, our troops who entered the Star Sea were all wiped out, and they are inseparable from this person. If he doesn't see me, I'll have to go see him, or the metal empire will really be destroyed!"
Lauder, who drank the blood of countless ancestors, became more and more human, regret had filled his metal heart, regret why he broke with Chen Qing and made the relationship so bad, and only hoped that Chen Qing could let him go in the past.
With Lauder's order this time, the army of metal men began to retreat rapidly, and there were not even the lowest-level metal men left, giving up large areas of empty territory, so that the troops of various countries drove straight into these territories and divided these territories wantonly.
But then the problem also came, with the metal empire's behavior of giving up its territory and shrinking its forces, the entire land area shrank by two-thirds, and countless unguarded cities were placed there like fat. Some countries are too greedy to send people everywhere to occupy empty cities, and when the troops of both sides meet and fight for control of a city at the same time, friction and strife inevitably occur.
If the countries still maintain restraint and want to sit together to discuss how to determine the border line and completely divide the metal empire, the troops of the Mad God Gate are not so easy to talk about. They went out this time, but they were fighting for the sect master's personal disciples, and some people took the opportunity to want a piece of the pie, which had already caused their dissatisfaction, and they still wanted to grab the land in front of their own eyes, which was simply unreasonable.
The disciples of the Mad God Sect were naturally all arrogant, and they not only fought the Metal Empire, but also beat the human forces of other empires that were close to the territory grabbing, causing chaos.
In fact, this is also their helpless move, as soon as the metal empire shrinks its forces, the remaining territory is already overcrowded, and large and small warships are all over the sky. Moreover, when retreating, the heavy firepower was disassembled and pulled away, and then assembled and spliced in the rear, making the current metal empire full of war fortresses, becoming impregnable, and if it is attacked, it will definitely suffer heavy losses. Even if you want to curry favor with Chen Qing, you have to calculate the casualties. The most effective way to shirk is to grab the territory, keep the troops busy, and let Chen Qing have nothing to say.
Even if he saw the Mad God Gate's small abacus, Chen Qing was helpless, and he couldn't force the Mad God Gate to attack at any cost. At this time, Duke Tulip was already content, and even his subordinates began to prepare for the enthronement, so that he would become the Tulip King as soon as possible, and now the chaos made him no longer have the luxury of becoming an emperor, a king is enough.
Looking at the Tulip Duke who had already begun to stabilize the Tulip Duke who had been transferred back to the front line, Chen Qing was even more speechless. Duke Tulip has become the King of Tulip, his appetite has been filled, and it can even be said that he has eaten enough, but it is far from Chen Qing's goal, from beginning to end, he has only one purpose, that is, to completely destroy the Miรจ metal empire.
The metal empire, which had lost two-thirds of its territory, became a mountain watching the tigers fight, watching the humans carve up their original territory, but it also got a chance to breathe, and no one dared to attack the countless metal armies that had shrunk together. At this time, the news released by Lauder also came out, and he wanted to see Chen Qing, who was in a border city facing the tulip territory.
Chen Qing's name had already spread all over the world with the wanted notice, and as soon as the news that Lauder wanted to see Chen Qing came out, countless pairs of eyes looked here, and people were waiting for Chen Qing to show up.
Chen Qing, who also got the news, frowned, he ruled out that this was the idea that Lauder was trying to kill him, Lauder was not so brain-dead that he was so blatant, of course Chen Qing would not be brain-dead enough to go there himself, and after thinking about it, he made a decision.
An ordinary starship takes off from an ordinary city, and like countless people watching the excitement, this starship also sails to that city. The city, which was still under the control of the metal people, was not forbidden to humans to enter, and within a few days the number of humans exceeded that of the metal people, and the false gods could often be seen on the streets, making the whole city lively and showing a false prosperity during the war.
Humans can continue to move through the city unimpeded, except for the well-guarded City Lord's Mansion, which is not allowed to enter, and people are all staring at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion to see who will be let in.
In a restaurant in the city that specializes in receiving human beings, Chen Qing and several Madness God Gate elders sat by the window, just in time to see the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, and in the other private rooms next door, there were also countless pairs of eyes staring there.
"Seventh Senior Brother, I heard that you are also from Xinghai, have you ever seen that Chen Qing?"
The matter of Chen Qing being a Xinghai person has already reached the ears of these elders with the big mouth of the Loud Noise, and there are Splitting Heaven Elders guarding it, and the careful thinking of the Loud Noise Ming has long been gone, and he doesn't dare to fight Chen Qing's idea at all. I sat there and listened quietly to see how he explained.
Chen Qing smiled slightly, "Of course I've seen it, others are good." โ
Hearing what he said, Split Sky immediately lowered his voice and began to speak, "Do you need me to capture him and rob the Tree of Life to help you establish the kingdom of God?"
The appearance of splitting the sky is very sincere, and he does think so in his heart, he is the most loyal subordinate of the mad god, he has never had his own selfish thoughts in his heart, and he has been planning and contributing to the mad god gate all his life, in his eyes, the apprentice of the mad god must have his own divine kingdom, so as to become a god as soon as possible.
I'm afraid that no one will not be moved by the opportunity to become a god, and several elders accompanied Chen Qing to come, to put it bluntly, it was for the sake of the Tree of Life.
What can Chen Qing say, he can't say that he is, don't bother, let alone say that you guys come here, I want the tree of life. can only open his mouth lightly again.
"I'm lucky, I'm sorry, I'm never forced anything, and Chen Qing will definitely not be so stupid as to walk into that door in front of everyone's eyes. โ
"I don't think he's going to be that stupid, so what are we doing here? Just go home, or just take down the city and kill the metal emperor Lauder." โ
The noisy words were met with the eyes of other people, Chen Qing would not be stupid enough to send himself to the door, could it be that the Emperor of the Metal Empire would be so stupid as to be in the same city as countless human powerhouses? You must know that many people want to kill Lauder as soon as possible, and Lauder's head is worth a lot of money in the Assassin Alliance.
Realizing his idiotic words, Tuo Ming had no choice but to shut up and look out the window again, but his eyes couldn't help but glance at Chen Qing, to see what he wanted to do here.
The seemingly ordinary starship suddenly fell from the sky at this time, suspended in the sky above the city lord's mansion, and immediately fell into the heavy encirclement of metal man soldiers.
