Forty-seven, the second cut off

The choice of gold and sword, Duke Fire understood thoroughly, he had already made his own decision, but he still said, "Okay, tomorrow, I will give you an answer." "Well, I'm sure you'll make the right choice. Wendas smiled. He knew that most of the task had been completed this time, and if he could have a good start, then it would only be a matter of time before the rest came.

At the family meeting, Duke Fire said to the elders: "Now that everyone knows what happened to the Dao, the black-clothed Shura has sent out the most powerful spy, should we choose his Shura sword or his gold coins? ”

An elder was silent for a while and said, "Family Master, what is your conclusion?" "I don't think anyone would want to face the black-clothed Shura's Shura sword, and no one would be able to refuse the black-clothed Shura's gold coins. Duke Fire said. All the elders stopped talking, and after a long time, one of the elders said, "The head of the family has made the right choice, we don't need to say anything more, we do need more gold coins than swords." "The head of the family is wise, we all agree with the head of the family, but the matter still needs to be kept secret, and we can't fight against the Dark Demon Ninety-Seven for the time being. "In the face of the temptation of gold coins, all the elders made the most correct choice.

The next day, still in the study, the two men signed an alliance agreement, and Duke Fire said, "Wendath, what am I going to do now?" Of course, it is to contact more nobles, but we need to do this work in secret, but we must be fast, because there is not much time left for us, however, as an old friend, I will remind you that my general has been with the Han patriarch for a period of time and has learned a lot of things, and at the same time, the friendship between my general and the Yanhuang clan is also beyond your imagination, if he wants to borrow thousands of soldiers through the Han patriarch to help, I think, this should not be a problem, and this matter can also be told to your friends。 After hearing this, Duke Fire only felt a chill from the bottom of his heart, he knew that from now on, he could only obey the orders of the black-clothed Shura, and there was no longer any bargaining conditions, although he signed an equal treaty with the black-clothed Shura, but the disparity in military strength and economic strength caused him to be in a weak position in this alliance, but this was already the result of no other choice.

Duke Cato's Mansion in Tianyue City, the provincial capital of Dark Moon Province, after listening to Wendas's words, Duke Cato asked: "Wendas, I have to admit that you are a very great lobbyist, and what you said is indeed possible, but how high is this possibility?" "Your Excellency Duke, I won't say how high it is, I just want to say one thing. "What's the matter?"

Wendas smiled and said, "My general learned a sentence from the Han patriarch, which is called, 'Heaven is not as good as the place, and the place is not as good as the people.'" Today, I will learn this from His Excellency the Duke. "Please advise. "Under the current situation, the Dark Demon Ninety-Seven is indeed very powerful, we can say that the Dark Demon Ninety-seventh has occupied the heavenly time, because he has too many resources than my general, but my general has a geographical advantage, as long as we retreat into the elven forest, only we can fight the Dark Demon Empire, and the Dark Demon Empire will never be able to beat us. And when it comes to getting the allegiance of others, Lord Duke, do you think that the slaves, freemen, and minor nobles of the Dark Demon Empire will be completely loyal to the Dark Demon Ninety-Seven? There is only one object of their allegiance, that is, my general, because only my general can bring them gold coins and bring them a happy life, this point, the 1.3 billion people of the two major provinces have proved a point, it can be said that when my general fights back again, all the slaves will run for the return of my general, and when they are willing to do anything for my general, will the Dark Demon Ninety-seventh still have any power to resist?"

Duke Cato was silent for a long time: "Really, but I don't think so, what strength do those slaves have?" "Your Excellency, I don't think this sentence should come from the mouth of a wise man like you, slaves are not capable of fighting against the imperial army, but slaves are capable of not planting crops, capable of transporting supplies for the army, capable of not making any weapons for the army, and even, they are capable of making those soldiers lay down their arms and surrender to my general, am I right?" Your Excellency the Duke. ”

Duke Cato's forehead immediately sweated, slaves are indeed capable of doing this, in the face of the hope of freedom and the threat of death, sometimes, the threat of death is not so terrible, not to mention, those low-level soldiers must also want to get more gold coins, want to get a better life, how far away is it from the gold coins and a good life? It's really not too far, you just need to lay down your weapons on the battlefield, it's really that simple, after losing a large number of soldiers, what will the Dark Demon Empire use to fight against the army of the black-clothed Shura? Especially after the black-clothed Shura is supported by the slaves, he will have almost unlimited human resources, and at that time, how many troops will be available, so how long can the Dark Demon Empire be able to support it?

Wendas smiled and said: "There are some things that I am not suitable to say, of course, I don't know the Tao very clearly, but, as far as I know from the general's mouth, the general has often penetrated into every corner of the empire since the Liberation Party formed three years ago, think about it, even now, as long as the general gives an order, there will be countless slaves and free people to follow the general, Your Excellency Duke, do you believe that my general has such ability?" His smile seemed to Duke Cato as simple as the most odious serpent, but Duke Cato knew that what he said was the truth, and that the existence of the Liberation Party was an open secret.

Wendas finally said: "Your Excellency, I don't have much time, but again, in the face of my general's sword and gold coins, do you choose my general's gold coins or sword? "The voice of the gold coin is lovely, Wendath, I think so, what is your opinion?" "Your Excellency the Duke is really very wise. ”

In Dadas City, the provincial capital of Dakko Province, the Duke of Ollenin's Palace, Wendas said with his most elegant smile: "Your Excellency, now, there are nine dukes on the side of my general, I wonder which side you are on, Your Excellency Duke of Ludao?" "Wendas, I would like to know in what name the black-clothed Shura of Ludao used to fight against His Majesty? After all, he is a rebel, isn't he?" "Your Excellency Duke, is this really the words of a noble-ranking Duke?" When my general fought on the battlefield of light and darkness for the sake of the empire and for the temple, why did no one say that he was a rebel? When my general built a strong defense line for the empire, why did no one say that he was a rebel? When my general killed countless masters of the Temple of Light for the sake of the temple, why did no one say that he was a rebel? Why did people say that my general was a rebel when my general had a large amount of gold coins? Your Excellency, I think, is the gold coin a rebellion or my general's rebellion?"

Duke Ollenin was speechless, although the nobleman's skin was very thick, but not thick enough to have no skin, he said after a while: "It's good, but I want to know how many gold coins the black-clothed Shura can give us after the war?" Of course, as long as Your Excellency the Duke does not violate the decree of my General, I can guarantee that when the time comes, Your Excellency the Duke will immediately expand your family's treasury, because the treasury is too small to hold so many gold coins, here is the covenant drawn up by my general, does Your Excellency the Duke think there is a problem?" Yes, General Shura is really a happy person, of course I am on the side of General Shura, please express my family's loyalty to General Shura, my family will definitely stand on his side and fight for him. "Very well, thank you, Your Excellency. ”

A big nobleman has signed an alliance treaty with the two major provinces, which means that a large group of nobles have signed an alliance treaty with the two major provinces, because, each big nobleman has its own large group of nobles under his command, although it is some small nobles, but the strength they have is very strong, the entire Dark Demon Empire has more than 200 million troops, however, the Dark Demon Ninety-seventh controls half, and all the nobles also control half, the strength between the nobles and the royal family is basically the same, but it is a lot worse at the level of masters, of course, not all nobles support the black-clothed Shura, at least, Those who are loyal to the royal family can't pull the black-clothed Shura, but these people are only a minority, after all, under the choice of swords and gold coins, loyalty is a ridiculous thing, and this one is the nobles.

The headquarters of the Dark Temple is located in the Dark Sacred Mountain, this mountain is tens of thousands of meters high, very dangerous, the mountain is high and dense, most of the surrounding cliffs are cliffs, basically there is no way to go up, except for a main passage in the south, east, west, and northwest, the others are the dead roads where people must die, it can be said that if you want to enter the Dark Divine Mountain, unless you get the permission of the temple guards on the mountain, otherwise, you must pay the price of blood.

On the night of this day, a small helicopter landed on the square behind the Dark Temple, here, there was no one else, only a few very old shamans entered the upper echelons of the Temple, but those who are familiar with the Dark Temple know that these people are the highest level of the Dark Temple, they have the highest power of the Dark Temple, the first one is only about fifty years old, the dark face reveals a kind of red light, from his black eyes flashed an astonishing cold light, this person is more than two meters tall, and his weight is definitely not less than three hundred and fifty pounds, from his body you can feel what is the potential explosive force, This person is the supreme leader of the Dark Temple, the hall master of the Dark Temple, Katoji Demon * Dark, the one on the left behind him is already very old, his waist is a little bent, and his face looks no less than a hundred-year-old man, but his half-closed eyes occasionally flash a glimmer of divine light will make people know that he is not an old man who is just waiting for death, he also has a terrifying strength, this person is the left hall master of the Dark Temple, Lutis * Demon * Black. There is also one person, a tall guy with blood-red armor all over his body, and a guy full of blood, this person is naturally the leader of the Blood Knights, the third-ranked of the Dark Nine Armies, Kasuo Demon God. There are also a few others, all of whom are high-ranking members of the Dark Temple, and they are all the henchmen of the temple master Katogui.
