Chapter 422: Decision
After the evacuation of the town of Pavas, the atmosphere of the whole army became a little depressing, not only the relationship between the stumps and broken arms at the city gate, but also a kind of humiliation - after only one day of defense, the town of Pavas was taken by the enemy, which was an indelible shame for these soldiers who swore to defend their homeland!
Li Yunyang glanced back at the town of Parvas, at this time the town was already in flames, and all kinds of panic noises were getting louder and louder, obviously the enemy troops who had invaded the town had discovered the tragedy at the city gate.
Listening to the sound of the horn in the distance, the enemy must have also noticed that Li Yunyang and Shi Erdeken, who had successfully evacuated from the town with the remaining soldiers, were now organizing pursuers to chase in the direction they left.
The cold wind at midnight blew away, the dark clouds gathered in the sky, and the bright moonlight sprinkled on the earth, although it could make Li Yunyang and them see the road under their feet more clearly, but it could undoubtedly also allow the enemy's pursuers to find them faster.
After a day of fierce fighting, most of the soldiers were exhausted, but Li Yunyang still had to order: "Speed up the march, cross this mountain immediately, we must leave the town of Parvas at least thirty miles before dawn!"
At this time, it was already the second half of the night, but the imperial reinforcements were still nowhere to be seen, Li Yunyang had no hope for them, he planned to evacuate to a safe place with the soldiers first, and then think about the next plan.
Fortunately, Wagle was very familiar with the surrounding terrain of the small town of Parvas, and even at night, he was able to lead his soldiers safely through the winding and rugged mountain roads without getting lost.
Sujira has been by Li Yunyang's side, but she is very quiet at this time, and she hasn't spoken for a long time, after all, in this case, being forced to leave her hometown makes it uncomfortable for anyone.
On the contrary, since leaving the town of Parvas, Sherdeken's face has become more and more calm, and he walks alone at the rear of the army, looking back at the town that is gradually disappearing from his eyes, but there is no fluctuation in his feelings.
When he crossed a hill, Shierken's eyes suddenly became firm, as if he had finally made up his mind, he walked quickly to Li Yunyang's side, and said to Sujra: "Jira, you go to the front and lead the way with Wagger, I have something to talk to Allen." β
Sujira nodded reluctantly, glanced at Li Yunyang reluctantly, and walked to the front of the team under the urging of Shierdeken.
Looking at his daughter's back, Shi Erdeken was silent for a while, considered his tone, and asked Li Yunyang as if he was very casual: "Alan, I don't know what your impression of Jira is?"
Li Yunyang was thinking about how to fight back, and use this war to completely get rid of Watsengia, the guy who targeted him in the Huimei Group.
Hearing Shi Erdeken's question, Li Yunyang didn't understand what he meant for a while, so he could only reply according to his words: "Jira is very beautiful and brave, if it takes time, she will definitely become a heroine." β
"That's not what I meant. Shi Erdeken didn't get the answer he wanted, and thought that Li Yunyang was deliberately pretending to be stupid with him, so he simply spread out the words, coughed lightly and said, "I want to ask, if I want Jira to marry you, will you be willing to marry her?"
"What?" Li Yunyang thought he had misheard, although he could see that Sujira was indeed interesting to him, but the relationship between them was far from reaching the point where they could talk about marriage.
Moreover, if you want to say who Li Yunyang should marry, then only Dai Qisi is in the first place, and no one can surpass her position in Li Yunyang's heart!
Almost without thinking about it, Li Yunyang rejected Shi Erdeken's suggestion, and said sternly: "Lord, I think you probably misunderstood something, although I don't deny it, I do have a good impression of Jila, but it is far from the point you imagined, and in my heart, there is already a beloved woman." β
I didn't expect Li Yunyang to refuse so simply, Shi Erdeken was stunned for a moment, his expression was a little embarrassed, and he said with a dry smile: "Allen, it's me who is reckless, how can there be a few confidantes around you like you, you shouldn't have heard what you said just now." β
It's just that Sherken doesn't seem to give up, his tone paused slightly, and then raised another topic: "Alan, what do you think of the town of Parvas?"
"Rich, prosperous, ......" Li Yunyang said two words of praise, and he somewhat understood Sherdeken's thoughts, and he said directly to the point: "Lord, if you have anything, just say it directly, now you are not attending a meeting of nobles, going around in circles will not bring you any benefits, of course, if it is for me to marry Jila, then there is no need to talk about it." β
No one had ever dared to talk to Sherken like this, which made him a little unable to get off the stage, but Sherken still didn't show the slightest displeasure, but nodded seriously and said, "I'm sorry, Alan, like you said, I've attended too many noble meetings over the years, so it's become a habit to go around in circles." β
Saying that, Shi Erdeken shook his head again and smiled: "Look, talking and talking, I have made my old mistake again, Allen, in fact, I came to you this time mainly to talk to you about the transfer of territory." β
In an instant, Li Yunyang was attracted by the topic of Shierdeken, and he exclaimed: "Territory transfer......?
"Yes, you guessed right!" Before Li Yunyang finished speaking, Shierken continued his words: "Allen, although this idea came out of nowhere, I think it is very feasible, I believe that if you become the lord of Parvas Town in the future, whether it is economic or military, Parvas will definitely step on a new peak!"
Li Yunyang was completely shocked by Shierdeken's words, although he had no plans to marry Sujra for the time being, but the inclusion of Pavas, an economically prosperous town, into his territory made him excited.
However, Li Yunyang was not stunned by the pie that suddenly fell, but was slightly shocked, and then calmed down, he took a deep breath, and said calmly: "Lord, tell me about your conditions, of course, if it is for me to marry Jira, as a request to receive Pavas, we don't need to talk about this topic." β
There is no free lunch in the world, Li Yunyang is well aware of this truth, like Shi Erdeken, an old fox who has been in the aristocratic circle for decades, how can he give up the territory of his ancestors for several generations to others if there are no additional conditions.
However, Shierken hurriedly shook his head and said: "Alan, you misunderstood what I meant, I want to transfer the territory to you, not to let you marry Jira, but to hope that you can recapture the town of Parvas, and quickly develop the military power of the town, from now on, so that the flames of war will never burn in the town of Pavas again." β
Shi Erken's words were very emotional, but Li Yunyang still didn't believe it, he sternly refused: "Lord, thank you for your kindness, but your words are really unconvincing, I don't believe that just because of these reasons, you will be willing to transfer the territory to me, forgive me for not being able to agree to your request." β
When the Empire's reinforcements arrived, it was only a matter of time before the town of Parvas was recaptured. As for the development of military power, it is even simpler, the small town of Parvas belongs to the land of abundance, as long as you are willing to spend money, what kind of elite soldiers can't be trained?
Li Yunyang always felt that Shierdeken wanted him to agree to accept the town of Pavas, and then took the opportunity to let him marry Sujra, and when it was time to sign the territory transfer agreement, Li Yunyang would have no chance to regret it at that time.
"No, Alan, you misunderstood me, what I just said is only for one part. β
was rejected by Li Yunyang again, but Shi Erdeken still did not give up, he sighed and said: "Indeed, recapture the town, increase military strength, and change anyone can do it, but there are few people who can do these things well, at least I don't have such talents under me, and I believe that you can do this well!"
"Isn't it you, my lord, I don't need to leave this matter to others, you can do it entirely, so that you can not only increase your voice in the Pavas meeting, but also strengthen your influence in the town, and probably do it better than me. β
Li Yunyang has now decided that Sherdeken wanted to use this topic to get him to agree to marry Sujra, so he directly dismissed the idea of taking over the town of Parvas.
"I'm old. Shi Erdeken also had a temper, as if he would not give up if he didn't convince Li Yunyang today, he looked at the long sword in his hand, and said with a sigh: "Allen, everything you said is reasonable, but I don't have so much energy, and I don't have so much energy to do it anymore, I just want to live in peace after I take back the town, and watch Jira get married and have children, which is enough." β
When he said this, Shi Erken seemed to be a few years older in an instant, and the spirit of strong support instantly withered, Li Yunyang thought that Shi Erdeken was acting, but after taking a look at Shi Erken, the eyes that had become cloudy, he immediately understood what Shi Erken meant.
As a lord of one side, Sjerdeken, born in the rich Pavas, was born to sit in the position of lord, and has never experienced any setbacks, and some only intrigue in aristocratic circles, and pursue the kind of aristocratic life that moans without disease when he is bored.
The sudden war made SjΓΆrdeken at a loss, he didn't know how to go on the road ahead, he lost the high-spirited appearance when he was a lord, and became an old man who was crushed by the war.
