Chapter 296: Decisive Battle Plan
"If it's convenient for you to give in, can you tell us about your plan?" Qi Lang finally asked, like an ignorant red deer standing on the edge of a trap, he naughtily poked his front hooves out of the floating soil.
King Mihuan's expression barely changed, as if the outcome had been predicted.
"That's not my plan. He said, "In fact, it was the good offices of Ji Tai that brought about this plan." The Luman Empire, the Dongyi Empire, the Otto Empire, and our Mingyu Kingdom will all be involved, and the aim is to achieve a temporary truce in the short term. If this plan develops in the direction we expect, then neither the Otto Empire nor the so-called Dongyi Empire will be able to threaten my Mingyu Kingdom in the end. ”
"Are you so sure?" Qi Lang asked a little puzzled, "If that was a plan proposed by the Dongyi people, how could you conclude that it would have such great influence?"
"Time. "You may have noticed that Billy's military campaign has been a little too tight in the past few years, attacking our Mingyu Kingdom and at the same time attacking his greatest enemy, the Luman Empire, which is very different from the previous strategy of the Otto Empire - for some reason, Billy is extremely eager to realize his ambitions. And the plan proposed by Ji Tai is, to some extent, catering to his ideas. ”
"What kind of plan is that?" Qi Lang frowned again, "Could it be that you want to gather all the forces together for an unprecedented Armageddon?"
King Mihuan shook his head, but smiled approvingly. "Somewhat close. "It can be seen as a decisive battle, but not a decisive battle of all forces, but a decisive battle of the strongest warriors." ”
"The decisive battle of the strongest warriors?"
"June 7, two months later. King Mi Huan further explained, "The parties involved in the war will hold a martial arts decisive battle, and the location is in the relatively neutral Jade Principality, and the vast Dongmo Plain is an excellent battlefield. Each side will send three first-class fighters to participate in the duel, and the winner will be able to put forward three demands without affecting the basic code of conduct of the other parties, and the head of the defeated country will honor the implementation of these three demands. ”
"You're saying Billy the Whale's Mouth would approve of such a ridiculous plan?"
If it weren't for the fear of being rude, Qi Lang would definitely laugh dumbly, and even Ao Wu looked incredulous. Because it sounds like a child's joke, or rather, a fair contest with a jackal, but when you respectfully salute it, how can you be sure that the sharp teeth won't continue to bite your neck?
King Mihuan obviously saw Qi Lang and Ou Wu's suspicions, but his attitude was still unusually determined. "When two madmen meet together, their ideas always make everyone laugh, but if these two madmen have the most feared fighting abilities in the world, people have to revisit everything they have come up with," he said. ”
At this, he laughed uncontrollably, which caused another violent cough: "You've probably never heard that Billy was once a self-conscious warrior before he took the throne at the age of twenty. He traveled all over the world, challenging the masters of various places, and even I, a high-ranking swordsman, once fought against him. ”
Speaking of this, King Mihuan reached out and stretched out his neckline, and a shallow scar could be seen near the main artery in his neck.
"He almost killed me with a single sword. He smiled indifferently and said, "Thanks to Mr. Wuchen swinging his sword edge with a bamboo leaf, otherwise what you see now would be a king without a head." It is said that he later restrained himself after ascending the throne, but the country is easy to change, and his nature is difficult to change. He's a warrior at heart, and Jitai once told me that day that he even suspected that Billy himself would be in this confrontation himself. ”
Qi Lang's eyes widened involuntarily: "Are we talking about the same person, Billy Whalemouth?"
King Mihuan nodded regretfully: "There will be no mistake with that. Speaking of which, I had a chance to change the pattern of this world, if I hadn't hated him for that sword, and hadn't forced Mr. Wuchen not to accept Billy as a disciple in my capacity as a king, maybe there might be one more chivalrous swordsman in this world, and one less tyrant who is tyrannical and requisitive everywhere - history often inadvertently turns into the lane it should not have entered. ”
"I still can't believe it. Qi Lang shook his head stubbornly, "I have just seen Ji Tai's madness, and if this proposal is his strong proposal, I will not feel the slightest doubt." But I always felt that Billy the Whalebill should be less simple, he should be more insidious, more cunning. If he voted in favor of this, it only shows that behind the face of the ticket, he also secretly sketched a more sinister plan. ”
"That's natural. "King Mihuan seems to have woken up from his memories and finally shown his sane side," as can be seen from the words he used in his reply, saying that he was happy to accompany him, but did not make any promises. But it doesn't matter, the commitment I need just comes from my good friend Kittae, and as long as he's fully committed to the game, it's enough. You should realize that for now, the biggest enemy of the Mingyu Kingdom is not Billy and his Tiger Cavalry, but our allies. ”
Qi Lang suddenly realized, and there was a trace of dissatisfaction in his eyes: "Can I think so, in fact, all your goals, Your Majesty, are only the tens of thousands of ranger warriors of the Dongyi tribe?"
King Mihuan coughed twice, but he shouldn't be hiding anything, because he had already revealed his thoughts about himself and the dustless old man, and for Qi Lang, he could be said to be 100% sincere. However, his intentions and the methods he used still made Qi Lang feel a little uncomfortable.
"I can't deny that. King Mihuan said calmly, "The Mingyu Kingdom has always been surrounded by powerful enemies, and as the king of this bullied country, the starting point of all my actions can only be to make myself stronger, unscrupulous and desperate. I guess Mr. Dustless will be glad I made this clear to you, for you are only truly worthy of the title of formidable king if you bravely employ the tactics you disdain in order to fulfill the duty of your talents. ”
Qi Lang stared earnestly into King Mihuan's eyes, and he felt as if there was a terrible ghost hidden inside. Qi Lang could hardly believe that the king in front of him was actually Princess Mirong's biological father, because the princess was as pure as a stream, and he was a turbid stream running through the rocks.
Of course, from his vantage point, it seemed to be the best option for the troubled king.
Qi Lang was going to switch the heavy topic away, because it was so depressing that it made him doubt almost everything. So, he asked in the calmest tone possible, "Do you think I will definitely stand on the side of the Mingyu Kingdom?"
"I didn't think about it that way. King Mihuan shook his head slightly, "Otherwise, I could have adapted the whole thing into another version to force you to get involved." But I know that would be grossly unfair to you, and likewise, I can't get past myself - I can take advantage of you, but I must not harm you. ”
Qi Lang fell into deep thought. What King Mihuan said should be the truth, and indeed as he said, he can actually hide the truth about Mr. Wuchen's death, and he doesn't even have to lie, so he continues to keep his previous inference, and naturally becomes an unbreakable and strong ally of the Mingyu Kingdom, running for him, and even shedding blood.
But he told the details. That should be his biggest secret so far, and it can even be said to be a stain! If this fact were known to his own daughter, I am afraid that he would not easily forgive him. But as King Mihuan said, he really needs to use Qi Lang's weapon to achieve the goal of surviving the Mingyu Kingdom in the troubled times. He took some risks, because it was a gamble at all, and only by Mr. Wuchen's judgment, he completely bet the wealth of the whole country on it.
"I'm not going to win. Qi Lang's words began to be closer to reality, which also showed that he was approaching this gamble, "Your Majesty, you have obviously heard some rumors about me, but I still have a relatively objective understanding of my own strength. Not to mention that there are so many masters on the Otto Empire's side, just talking about the young prince of the Dongyi Empire, I am not sure that I can win the battle. ”
King Mihuan rested his arms on the table and rested his chin with his palms, as if he were admiring a rare treasure, but it was only a young man who was not yet twenty years old.
"You say that just because you don't know yourself yet. His tone didn't have any hint of agitation, but it sounded like it could give people infinite confidence, "You probably don't know, Mr. Wuchen has never looked at people in his life. He trusts you, so I trust you. ”
Qi Lang smiled noncommittally, and after being silent for a moment, he suddenly asked for no reason: "You must have been chatting with Mr. Wuchen for a while, right, in the middle of the night?"
"Yes. King Mihuan hesitated for a moment, but finally admitted bitterly, "I'm just looking for him to complain a few words, like a helpless orphan, complaining to the gods and Buddhas, complaining to God." ”
Qi Lang was relieved again: "I can understand that feeling." I also hope that I can help you, Your Majesty, but please give me some time to think about it, and I would like to give a clear answer later. ”
