Chapter 70: Meetings and Casting Lots (Subscription Requested)

Two days later, all the invited monarchs or heads of state arrived, the enlarged meeting was held as scheduled, and in the chapel of the Papal Palace, the round tables were full of people, one large and one small, similar to the United Nations on Earth, and the inner circle was the seven permanent members of the Council, including Carlos (formerly Wigel), the Titan Republic, the Imperial Titans, Higra, and hundreds of non-permanent members.

First of all, the Pope gave an opening speech, babbling nonsense about God's love for the world and the need for everyone to unite around God to overcome difficulties.

Finally, when the Pope finished speaking, Joseph, the chief consul of the Titan Republic, couldn't wait to stand up and said: "Everyone, according to the recently obtained information, the steppe orcs are actively preparing for war in winter, and they have also received the support of the elves to form a mixed army, and the combat effectiveness has been greatly enhanced. Morale and other things are insufficient, but the southern coalition army has stabilized its position, and the western coalition army is even more victorious, and the north is the main iron ore producing area on the mainland, so without the supply of iron ore, do we want our soldiers to fight the enemy with their bare hands? ”

Joseph's words were unanimously agreed by the northern countries, and the representatives of the countries, including the Titan of the Titan Empire, the old enemy of the Titan Republic, spoke one after another.

"Bang, Bang, Bang, please be quiet, the next delegate will speak!" shouted the Pope, striking a small hammer.

Tyry, the crown prince of the Valhalla Empire, stood up and said loudly: "I don't think His Excellency Chief Consul Joseph's opinion is wrong, I admit that the northern coalition forces are indeed facing many difficulties, but our western coalition forces are even more difficult. That's right, we won two small battles. However, we have lost hundreds of thousands of excellent soldiers and a large amount of supplies, and the elves have produced a super master at the sage-level level. Even Her Royal Highness Catherine can't match it, and she has been cultivating for more than three months (Ouyang Yu's external statement), and this situation is not available in the north and south, so we should strengthen the strength of our western coalition army, and the north and south sides will first temporarily defend, and concentrate on destroying the elves first or forcing them to surrender, so that not only can eliminate the threat of one aspect, but also separate the steppe orcs and swamp orcs and cut off the connection between them. The western part of our continent is the main force of war horses and animal husbandry, and if we lose the western part of our continent, we human beings will only be able to fight the enemy on foot, and we will no longer be able to eat any meat, and the soldiers will not be able to defeat the enemy even if they go to the battlefield without nutrition, so our western coalition army should be given priority to replenish!"

"Bang bang bang ......!" Prince Terry's words were also supported by the western countries, and warm applause rang out from among the monarchs and heads of state of the western countries.

After Prince Terry sat down, the king of the Rags Empire, the second largest country in the south, stood up and said, "You are not right, it is our southern alliance that should really be strengthened! And he is good at envoy monsters, even His Royal Highness the Holy Son Andy almost died at the hands of monsters, and in order to block the attack of the swamp orcs, our southern coalition army paid a huge price. Don't forget that the south of the continent is the main grain producing area, and if we do not receive timely assistance and lose a large amount of land and people, grain production will be reduced on a large scale. Famine was inevitable at that time, and the soldiers could not fight without food. People will not be able to produce without food, and at that time, we will not be far from the end of humanity. Therefore, priority should be given to strengthening the strength of our southern coalition forces!"

After the king of the Rags Empire finished speaking, the monarchs and heads of state of the southern countries all stood up and cheered him on.

The Pope looked at the scene with some headaches, what the three parties said in the south and northwest were very reasonable, and they actually made him speechless, but it is impossible to strengthen all three aspects, if this is done, there is no need to convene this meeting today.

But it was obviously not only the three groups of countries in the south and northwest that gave him a headache, but also the groups in the middle of the continent, so the speaker of the Council of the United Kingdom of Higra, Dai Amid, stood up and said loudly: "Everyone, please listen to me, I am here to make a statement on behalf of the group of countries in the middle of the continent, regardless of supporting the southern coalition forces, Whether the Western Coalition Army or the Northern Coalition Army is, no matter who we support our central countries, we have no opinion, but we do not want the materials and troops we provide to be wasted for no reason, such as the corruption of some countries, which often delays the salaries of soldiers and the pension of the soldiers. After speaking, he glanced at the Senate of the Imperial Titan, seemingly unintentionally.

"Another example is a general who will not save the army of his allies. As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Prince Terry, "And the commander who only fights to the death." The old fellow looked at Andy (Antti) again, and all three of the three he saw had bad faces.

"That's why we demand control over the distribution of supplies and decision-making in battles among the coalition forces!"

Speaker Dai Amid's words aroused the disgust of the three groups of countries in the south, the northwest, and the north, and controlled the supplies? Isn't that the supply pinched in the hands of others, and when the time comes, you will have to beg others for things and make decisions in battle? Then why don't you just say that you want to take command directly, and you will definitely not agree to the millions of troops on the mainland, all of which are under your command.

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, Chief Consul Joseph was the first to jump up and scold loudly, and the king of the Lagos Empire also denounced together that the president of the council of Dai Amid had bad intentions, and Prince Terry was also involved, and the president of the council of Dai Amid was naturally not to be outdone and scolded loudly, but the scolding and scolding became a scolding in all directions, and then the venue of Yan Sù became a lively vegetable market, and the representatives of various countries opened their mouths one after another for the interests of their own countries, some of them were messing around, some were talking about righteousness, and some were looking back on history, in short, they all blamed each other with the idea that they could only take advantage of them and not suffer losses。

"Bang, Bang, Bang, Silence!" The Pope once again knocked on the small hammer in the hope that the venue would be quiet, the Temple of the Ancestors as a supranational organization all over the continent is extraordinary, and it also has a strong right to speak, and the representatives of the previous countries were busy arguing and forgetting the Pope. But his knock attracted the attention of all the delegates, and at the same time, he remembered that the ancestral temple had not yet spoken. Who will the temple support?

"His Majesty, which aspect of the South, North, South, and West do you think should be given priority for support?" asked Speaker Diamid. Everyone was glued to the Pope as he waited for his speech.

The Pope was furious when he was seen, and he knew very well that no matter who he supported, he would offend three-quarters of the countries on the entire continent, even if he was a Pope, and his Guardian Corps was one of the best elite legions on the continent, but it was still not enough to see compared with three-quarters of the countries in the continent, so the Pope didn't dare to express his position casually now, and coughed embarrassedly and even said that he hadn't thought about it yet, and he needed to discuss it again, and everyone scolded the old fox in their hearts. Then they quarreled again, and this quarrel lasted for two days, and there was no result in the quarrel.

On the third day, Ouyang Yu really couldn't stand it anymore, stood up and said loudly: "Now that the enemy is now, you don't want to unite and forge ahead, but waste time for the sake of small profits, don't you feel ashamed!"

Ouyang Yu's words were shouted out with magic power, which was deafening, and suddenly overshadowed the quarrel, and Chief Archon Joseph looked at her and said disdainfully, "Your Highness Catherine." Even if you are the shadow queen of the Kadesh Kingdom, you have no right to speak here. ”

Ouyang Yu was angry, slapped the table with his left hand and smashed the table, gritted his teeth and said, "Who said that we women don't have the right to speak." A great man once said that women can hold up half the sky, and you have been arguing for days and still haven't decided which aspect to strengthen first. Change my hands and you will have results in minutes!"

Ouyang Yu's words made everyone look at them, and Prince Terry stood up and asked, "Her Royal Highness Catherine." Do you really have a way to fix it?"

"Yes, I analyzed it carefully. No matter which direction the south and northwest are very important to us mankind, and the military threats faced by the three parties are not much different, but now the three sides also have their own advantages, the overall strength of the northern coalition army is the strongest, the southern coalition army has the most advanced weapons and geographical advantages, and the western coalition army has a vast strategic space and numerical superiority, and there is no actual situation in the three areas that urgently needs full support, am I right?"

"You're right. Ouyang Yu's analysis made everyone have to nod.

She went on to say: " If the danger is divided into ten parts, the south and the northwest each account for three into three, and you all want to get full support to destroy the enemy on your side first, so that the country can stop the war and reduce bloodshed, after all, no one will like war, no matter whether you win or lose, there will be losses, especially if you are either a monarch or a head of state, including me, either personally lead the army or the heir or eldest son must go to the battlefield to take the lead, and on the battlefield will face the danger of death, end the war as soon as possible so that relatives can go home, this is human nature, this is human nature, after all, we are all human beings。 ”

There was silence in the venue for a while, Ouyang Yu's words aroused the pain of many monarchs or heads of state, many of the heirs or children of the family died in the battle, as royalty and nobles, they must set an example, otherwise the people under them will not work hard, and the commoners will lose their fear of the ruler.

Ouyang Yu finally concluded: "So we don't have to argue anymore, let the great ancestors decide." ”

When the Pope heard this, he felt very ridiculous and surprised, a necromancer said in front of him that the ancestors were great, it was as incredible as the fanatical believers of Allah on earth ran into the Catholic church to confess to God, so he asked curiously: "Your Highness, what is your solution?"

Ouyang Yu smiled and said, "My method is very simple, that is, to catch ...... Lots....... ”

"Bang ......!" Ouyang Yu's words made everyone thunder on the spot, and the king of the Rags Empire got up and pointed at her and shouted: "It's a matter of life and death for the entire continent, and you plan to use the lot to decide?!

Andy (Antti) also got up from the ground, and she didn't expect that her sworn enemy also had such a second-class side, and she came up with it.

In the face of the accusation, Ouyang Yu calmly replied: "As I just said, there is no urgent need for support in the three aspects of the south and northwest, that is to say, you can support a certain direction at will, or you can not support which direction, and you have been arguing for a few days and there is no result, it is better to draw lots to decide, see who is lucky, if anyone is against it, please come up with a feasible way." ”

"It's ....... Everyone looked at each other, feeling that it was doomed to be fruitless if they continued to quarrel, and the drawing of lots was indeed the best way at present, and there was no way to do it, but thinking that the major affairs of the military were actually decided by drawing lots, everyone felt strange in their hearts.

Seeing that no one was silent, the Pope coughed and said: "Since everyone is not opposed to Her Royal Highness Catherine's method, let's draw lots to decide which side to give priority to all, for the sake of fairness Archon Joseph, Prince Terry, His Majesty, the King of the Lagos Empire, and His Excellency the Speaker of the Parliament Higra, each of the four of you writes a note, three misses, one of them, whoever draws the one will support whoever is the first, if your Excellency wins, then the central group of countries will have the power of material supervision and part of the command, if you can't draw, don't shout, you have no opinion, right?"

Everyone shook their heads together, and soon the four notes were written and crumpled together and thrown into a special small box that the Pope asked people to take, this small box can isolate mental power and perspective magic, Andy (Antti) took the small box and shook it, and then put it down and asked the four of them to come forward and draw lots.

The king of the Rags Empire and the other four people decided the order of drawing lots around the small box, and then reached into the box one by one and took out a paper ball.

"In the presence of the great ancestors and the people, please open it, and whoever breaks the covenant will go to the Infernal Hell, no matter what the outcome. Andy (Antti) said the necessary prayer and motioned for the four to check the results.

The four of them carefully opened the paper ball and looked at it, and the king of the Rags Empire immediately shouted happily: "I won! I won!" The other three looked at the note in the hand of the king of the Lags Empire with jealousy, and secretly hated that their hands smelled.

The Pope wiped away his sweat and was glad that the meeting had finally achieved a heavy result, and he announced in a loud voice: "The Southern Coalition will receive the full support of the human comrades on the mainland in the future!"

The representatives of the southern group of countries cheered, and the representatives of the western and northern groups of countries were silent, and everyone saw that the whole process of drawing lots was indeed very fair, and there was no possibility of cheating, so they had to pinch their noses and admit it.

"Next, let's make a second decision, elect the commander-in-chief of the human alliance!"

"I choose XX!"

"I'm going to elect whoever you want!"

As soon as the Pope's words fell, the entire venue turned into a vegetable market again, and the four parties in the south, north, west, and central only trusted the candidates on their own side, and did not trust the candidates from the other three sides, these four candidates were General Gru, the current commander of the Northern Alliance, Prince Terry in the Western Alliance, Andy (Anti) in the Southern Alliance, and Queen Karen in the Central Elect was unexpectedly.

These four people have their own strengths, General Gru has been through a hundred battles and commanded the battle steadily, he is a decent general, Prince Terry is good at intrigues, and his combat style is quite bold and suitable for the hilly terrain in the south, Andy (Anti) has the strongest personal strength, and he also has the strongest legion on the continent The First Guard Division, and Queen Karen Although the strength is not as good as Andy (Anti), the marching formation is not as good as Prince Terry and General Gru, but he takes the lead in every battle, which has a considerable incentive effect on the morale of the soldiers, and he is also an unmarried beauty, which is a good object of unity for an all-man army, as long as Karen wears close-fitting armor, give full play to her mature feminine charm and stand in front of the soldiers, a large number of soldiers are willing to fight to the death for her, and then match her with a qualified adjutant and staff to ensure that the army is commanded like an arm.

In order to decide the candidate of the commander-in-chief for another three days, some people proposed to use casting lots to decide, but they were vetoed by most of the people, including Ouyang Yu, what are you kidding, the commander-in-chief can't use casting lots to decide, there must be people with real talent and learning, just when everyone was arguing, a childish voice sounded in the venue.

"Why don't you use military chess deduction and have a mock battle to decide the commander-in-chief, the one who can defeat all opponents in the mock battle must be the strongest commander!" (To be continued......)
