916 Attack of the Beast (2)
916 Beast Attack (2)
The afternoon sun seems a little warm, the sky in April is very clear, like a transparent blue glass, white as silk a few white clouds float lifelessly overhead,
A black carriage with no markings, led by two cavalrymen, slowly drove into the light of the hall of Aire.
The carriage stopped at one of the steps to the left of the richly decorated hall of Ayrey, and a stern-looking general quickly descended the steps and pulled open the door
"Lord Salton, it's an honor to be here to meet you"
The general said to a middle-aged man in the carriage with a respectful face, "Due to some special reasons, the originally scheduled meeting has been slightly changed, I hope it will not arouse your suspicion!"
"Your Excellency?" Salton got out of the carriage and looked at the man in front of him in a general's uniform with a confused expression, his eyes flashed with a hint of shock, it turned out to be three stars,
In his impression, the supreme person in charge of the Ailey garrison is just a flag commander, but now standing in front of him is definitely not a flag commander.
Based on his own knowledge of the falcon officer's uniform, this general with 3 falcon badges pinned to his shoulders is at least at the level of a regiment commander, such a person is definitely a famous general in the falcon army.
Sure enough, the young man with a kind demeanor smiled at the corner of his mouth, "I'm Hu Keqili, the general of the Central Army of the Falcon Dynasty!"
"Falcon Claw, Hukochili!" Salton was visibly taken aback, a hint of horror flashed across his face, this famous general in the Falcon Dynasty was even equivalent to the deputy head of the military department of the Nord Kingdom in rank,
The Central Army under his command is also the most powerful main army of the Falcon Dynasty, known as the backbone of the 100,000 Falcon Army, how could such a general with outstanding achievements on the battlefield deign to open the door for himself in person?
"Please come with me!"
Hukochi raised his right hand to make a gesture of please, Soldton's face changed, his mouth opened, and finally he remained silent and followed him up the steps in front, I don't know why he suddenly felt a little nervous, the central general led the way, what is the situation with such a courtesy?
"Squeak"
Several soldiers in black armor respectfully pushed open the door of the hall, revealing a long corridor behind it, with a whole stunning relief on the richly decorated wall, and a marble statue every 20 meters on the road.
Salton secretly counted that this corridor about 100 meters long actually accounted for a full 50 meters of guards, which can be described as heavily guarded, not inferior to the guards of the Nord Palace
"Follow me, Your Majesty has been waiting inside for a long time!"
Just as Salton hesitated, Hukochili turned back from the front and said,
Heavy footsteps echoed in the hallway,
"Majesty!"
Sallton's thoughts were a little confused, there was only one person who could have this title in the Falcon Dynasty, and that was Vekia Falcon,
He didn't expect that this negotiation would have the opportunity to meet the Vichia Falcon in person, although he was already mentally prepared,
But such a big contrast still shocked him and made it difficult to calm down for a while.
Bright sunlight shines through the carved vents at the top of the walls on both sides of the corridor, forming a patchy walkway in the corridor.
Salton walked over with a solemn expression, and an inexplicable emotion rolled in his mind, Vicchia Falcon turned out to be in Airy!
Since the main Nord force suffered a crushing defeat in the south of Vekia, the top management of the Nord has come to a conclusion that this time the Nord's 100,000 army is not defeated because it is not brave enough and not strong enough.
Rather, it was because they were facing an opponent who was known for their cunning, the Vechia Falcons. This young player, who has set an unbeaten record in recent years, has once again continued his undefeated glory with his good fortune,...,
Now the Nord side is a little indignant when it comes to that battle, if it weren't for that damn surprise landing, if it weren't for the arrogance of the coastal defense forces, if it weren't for the incompetence of the fleet...... Too many ifs. The 100,000 elites of Nord returned in front of the gate of silent victory
Of course, this was a different matter in Salton's eyes, as he understood in Kyoto, the war was a mistake from the beginning, and there was no mistake in raiding the south of Vekia, but it ignored the most important point, which was that the Falcon Empire had consolidated its dominance over the island of Salander,
This is an extremely critical layout, only when you really face it, you will find out how powerful this layout is for the entire continent, especially for the Nord Kingdom, the cross umbrella formed by Salander and the south of Vekia, like a sharp blade, is forced behind the Nord Kingdom at any time.
Now that I think about it, Salton will also feel sincere admiration for the original Vekia Falcon, Ling Ken to launch a full-scale war, and also to occupy this island country that seems to be of little use, what is a master of layout, not remembering the gains and losses of a city and a place, directly taking the kingdom and the continent territory as his own banner plate, and tens of millions of living beings are all in his hands
If the huge layout is simply unheard of, the Nord Kingdom has been unconsciously put into a terrible trap, and when it comes to the real face, it suddenly finds that all of his efforts are in vain, and the other party has already opened his bloody mouth and waited for him.
Just like this seemingly stable battle, even if the army captures Dylan and cuts off the connection between the southern part of Vekia and the Salander side in one fell swoop, it will also fall into the all-out attack of Salander and Fort Gerber,
This is a reckless gamble, just like the eyes only see the warriors in front, always hoping to be able to crush the enemy with their bravery, but forget that the real danger often comes from behind, a light landing, completely turned the whole tide of the battle, the bloody battle of more than 100,000 soldiers in front, can not withstand the impact of turmoil in the rear,
"Smack"
Just when Soldton's face was full of thoughts, Hukochili, who was leading the way in front, suddenly stopped in front of a room, "Your Majesty, Lord Soldon has arrived!"
"Come in! the door is unlocked"
A somewhat dignified but wise voice came from the room, and Salton nervously walked into the room, his eyes immediately focused on a chubby figure standing in front of the windowsill
"I've heard of it for a long time, although we are enemies, we can be regarded as old friends!" The fat man turned around calmly, sat down on a chair in front of the window, and waved his hand to the nervous Salton, "Sit down, we're here to talk about business, aren't we, there are no Governor Su Ruo and His Majesty the Falcon here, there are only you and me, two businessmen who want to have a profit!"
"Don't mean it, I was a little rude just now, I just thought that I would see His Majesty in such a situation!" Salton sat down opposite the fat man with a solemn face, and made the fat man opposite smile with a somewhat restrained look, "It's nothing, I said it, you and I are businessmen, there is no Majesty here! If you need to see that Majesty, please send a formal diplomat."
"This ......" Toldton's face was slightly ugly, and his expression was embarrassed to stop talking, he didn't know what to say, although he had long heard that the Vichia Falcon had some unique personalities, but he didn't expect it to be so unique, and he didn't have the consciousness of a monarch at all,
Seeing Salton's hesitant look. The fat man picked up the water cup on the table disapprenorantly, blew the heat on the water surface with an indifferent face, and then said, "Since you are a guest and I am the host, then I am welcome, 1 million gold coins, the characters above the squadron leader are counted separately, you are embargoed in Suruo, don't you just want to ransom these soldiers?"
Salton's face was stunned for a moment, and when he saw that the fat man was talking about this kind of thing as if he was defending some justice, he couldn't help but feel deep disdain in his heart, and sighed secretly, such a guy may be more like the continental god of war who doesn't suffer at all in the war, and is too lazy to wait for the enemy to throw himself into the net,
But his face still pretended to be a look of worship, sighed, and said, "It turns out that His Majesty has already guessed, yes, I am in the Su Ru embargo, I just want to contact the military of the Falcon Dynasty through the Guò Business Alliance to discuss the redemption of prisoners of war, this time the kingdom owes them, but such a high price is really unacceptable!"
The fat man said with a sad look on his face, "I am also a soldier, and I don't want to embarrass these soldiers who have been abandoned by the motherland, but those are 40,000 elite soldiers who have been on the battlefield for a long time, and if the price is unreasonable, I think it is an insult to them!
"But I really didn't have that much money with me!" Salton was not a good man, and immediately put on a pitiful expression, he was not an extremely strict fellow, and he was quite handy in doing such a thing
The fat man hesitated for a moment, and when he saw that he really couldn't squeeze anything useful, he raised two more fingers
said with a sad face, "Okay, for the sake of your sincerity in coming to Ailei, I will give you another face,
Subtract 200,000, 800,000 is already the bottom line! If you think about it, that's 40,000 elites, and you can form combat power when you go back.
With the funds to form a new regiment, you can get so many veterans, where can you find such a good thing!"
The fat man put on a sincere attitude, and his mouth was eager to say "You earned it" directly
"I can only pay 600,000 at most! And it's to redeem everyone" Salton gritted his teeth, although he didn't want to admit it, but he also agreed with the fat man's statement, this is 40,000 veterans, for Nord who is in need of troops, it can be said that it is very important where to live, so he has to report the bottom line in his heart,
"Okay, deal!" The fat man agreed without hesitation, immediately stretched out his hand, grabbed Soldton's right hand while he was still stunned, and then said, "I have one more thing I want to ask Your Excellency Soldton, I need to meet with His Majesty Yagrolk, I think this can only be done by His Excellency Soldton!"
