Seventy-Nine, Flames of War (10)
Seventy-Nine, Flames of War (4)
On November 12, 274 years of the New Earth calendar, the Dark Temple held a military meeting, the main content of which was to discuss the question of the battle between light and darkness.
For this battle of light and darkness, many people advocate fighting, the reason is very simple, the Temple of Light has just suffered a defeat at the hands of the orcs, although it has not reached the point of breaking the muscles and bones, but it can be regarded as a small loss, and now is the time when the Temple of Light is weakened, when will it be fought if it is not fought at this time? This reason is very sufficient.
The reason for not fighting is also very simple, because how to say that the Temple of Light is also a human being, the battle between light and darkness is a war within the human race itself, and if it is fought, it will only hurt the combat power of the human race, if the orcs have not risen before, then it still doesn't matter, now that the orcs have risen, it is not very cost-effective to fight again.
Katoji looked at the black-clothed Shura, who shrugged his shoulders and said, "Whether you want to fight or not, it doesn't have much to do with me." "Everyone is angry, of course it doesn't have much to do with him, this guy, when people are fighting, he is making a lot of war money with Kaigula, and when he thinks about it, he wants people to beat him, but unfortunately he can't beat him.
However, the black-clothed Shura said again: "It's useless for us to fight if we want to, I wonder if the hypocrites in the Temple of Light want to fight?" Everyone understood, if the Temple of Light didn't want to fight, then this battle wouldn't be able to be fought, so let's go and ask the Temple of Light.
Bright Holy Mountain, Nicholas, who had regained the first line of defense, had just returned to the Bright Holy Mountain to attend a military meeting after dealing with the affairs of the front line, and when he arrived at the conference room, there were really a lot of people attending the meeting, and even Kaigula was called to attend the meeting. The meeting has not yet begun, and the Pope has not yet come.
Kaigula sat next to Nicholas and asked, "Nicholas, your body is fine, can you withstand it?" Nicholas smiled bitterly and said, "Now I regret a little that I didn't practice fighting qi and magic for anything." "He is already eighty years old, although he is still more than fifty years away from the lifespan of a normal human in the Western Continent, and because of the large number of magic potions from the Temple of Light and the recuperation of light magic, his physical health has always been relatively good, but no matter how good his body is, he can't stand up to the work on him, so over the years, his body has begun to be a little unbearable
Kegula sighed lightly and said, "Nicholas, you have to take care of your body, without you, our temple would not have half the sky." "Kegula, actually, you are stronger than me, why don't you join the temple? I can guarantee that you must be better than me, and you are more suitable for the office of Pope than Ovat." Of course, the voice was so low that only Kaigula could hear it.
Kegula shook his head and said, "Nicholas, if I join the temple, the situation will only be bad, you know the way, that kid's eyes can't tolerate me, after all, I robbed him of his wife." "Nicholas can only smile bitterly, except for a bitter smile, he can't do anything, among the generation of the Temple of Light, Kaigula and Ovate are the best, if these two people can join forces, it is enough to fight against the black-clothed Shura in the south, and the tiger Xuantian in the north, but unfortunately, these two can't join forces, they will only fight to the death, only one of them can survive, but, if there is only one, even if it is Kaigula, can he block the attack of the two powerful guys?
Kaigula said: "Don't talk about that guy, how can you be taken advantage of by that guy from Xuantian this time." "Don't say it, everyone is dead, what else is there to say, in short, it's my bad luck, what about you, are you ready? "I don't think this is the best chance to go to war, I'm against it. "I'm afraid it's not your turn to object. Nicholas sighed.
In the middle of the conversation, the Pope arrived, the military council began, and the Pope first asked: "The sinners of darkness have sent the war letter, should we fight this time?" Nicholas was also a little stunned, although Kegula said that he didn't want to go to war, but he didn't expect him to be so active.
The Pope was also a little surprised, Kegula has always been too concerned about the battle of light and darkness, and he didn't expect to openly oppose it today, he asked: "Kegula, why are you against going to war?" There are many reasons, but there are two most important points, first, the strength of our army has been compromised, and a considerable part of the military materials have been consumed, if another war of light and darkness is fought, then the economy of the temple will probably be dragged down by this war in the next twenty years, and such a war will do us all kinds of harm but not benefit. Second, now the orc empire has Xuantian in charge, and the strength is rising, with Xuantian's eloquence, he will definitely develop the strength of the orc empire very quickly, it can be said that the orcs will reach the strength we have now in the next hundred years, the orcs have become strong, although we have different beliefs with the dark temple, but, in the final analysis, it is still the internal problem of human beings, if we make the orcs strong, then we will be in trouble, so we should stop the war, accumulate strength, and solve the problem of the orcs firstγ Therefore, I am against this war. β
Owalt immediately said, "Kaigula, aren't you Xuantian's friend, why do you want to eliminate him this time?" I am Xuantian's friend, but I am a human and he is an orc, if there is no racial dispute between us, we will definitely be the best friends, and in fact, I still regard Xuantian as my friend today, and this will not change in the future, however, my personal relationship with Xuantian does not represent the relationship between our temple and the orc empire, the matter is related to the overall interests of our temple, and my friend relationship with Xuantian can only be put aside. β
Aowatt sneered and said: "Then the next time if Hu Xuantian goes south again, how about transferring you to resist?" "No problem, I also want to have a fight with this old friend to see if he is strong or I am strong, but, Ovat, you have taken the issue away, our meeting this time is to discuss whether to start a war with the Dark Temple, what do you mean?"
"Although I don't agree with you, I have to admit that what you said makes sense, it doesn't do us any good to go to war, it's just that if we don't fight this time, then the dark sinners will give us harsher conditions next time, for the sake of the overall interests of our temple, I think we still have to fight, we can't let people think that our temple is so useless." Orcs don't pose much of a threat to us. β
Kegula looked disappointed and said, "The orcs are still not a threat to us, Ovat, I really don't know what your mind is thinking, do you really think that the orcs are not a threat to us?" "If the orcs are really strong, they will not retreat by themselves, someone is just useless, and they have been defeated by the orcs again and again, it is not the strength of the orcs, it is just the problem of someone of ours." β
Kegula held down Nicholas with one hand and said in a deep voice: "Okay, Ovat, I'll take it as someone's problem, let's not talk about this question, I just want to ask you, the orcs are not losing strength now, if the orcs go south again during the battle of light and darkness, what should we do, don't forget, once we start a war with the Dark Temple again, we will mobilize the troops from the north to the south." β
Ovart said confidently: "It is possible for the orcs to go south, but do we need to mobilize the troops from the north to go south? We have an army, although we have lost some troops, but we can call up more troops at any time." "What about the funds? Who will pay for them? There are funds for recruiting more troops, don't tell me, you will pay for them. β
Ovat glanced at Kaigula with disdain and said, "Of course these funds were provided by you, Kegula, and of course you used us to make a fortune when we were at war with dark sinners, since you don't have to send people to fight, then you should pay for it." "Yes, Your Highness Kegula, this funding should be paid by you. "Of course, the people of Ovatt support him, and even some neutral people are a little supportive of Ovat's proposal, and it is indeed eye-catching for this guy to make money.
Nicholas was already about to smoke above his head, he stood up and wanted to speak, but he still let Kaigula press down, Kegula said: "I give out a trillion gold coins, is this money enough?" Ovatt originally just wanted to squeeze Kaigula, but he didn't want Kaigula to open his mouth is a trillion gold coins, which really surprised him, but one trillion gold coins is already a lot, and it is enough to recruit ten more legions, so he smiled and said: "Of course it is enough, Kaigula, you are really a devout disciple of God." β
Kaigula asked in a deep voice: "Okay, now, let me ask you two things, can you answer me." "You ask, if I can answer you, I will answer you. "There is still the possibility of the orcs going south, so Nicholas still needs to be stationed in the north and can't move, then the commander-in-chief of this battle of light and darkness is, of course, Ovart, you, I don't think everyone will have any doubts about this, so I will ask the future commander-in-chief as a subordinate." First of all, how many chances do you have of winning this battle of light and darkness. "Everyone agrees with Kaigula's inference, after all, Nicholas still needs to be stationed in the north to guard against the orcs, and Kaigula can't move if he wants to withstand the black-clothed Shura, so the post of commander-in-chief is naturally held by Ovat, which no one will doubt.
Ovette was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I don't dare to say that I am sure of winning, but there is still a seventy percent chance of winning." He didn't dare to say it all, but he still had the odds, after all, the family of the Temple of Light was here. "Okay, second thing, if the orcs go south and Nicholas needs reinforcements, can you draw enough reinforcements for Nicholas. Kaigula pressed further.
Owalt thought for a moment and said: "There should be no problem, after all, in terms of troops, the strength of our army is sufficient." "No, it shouldn't be fine. Ovat, the major events of war are not a child's play, this is to die, the dead are all believers in God, I have calculated, if the orcs go south again, we must transfer five more legions of troops to Nicholas, can you transfer the troops of five legions to Nicholas?" "Well, I don't have any questions to ask, Your Majesty the Pope, and since Ovart has answered my questions, I think you don't need to say much about your opinions. "Well, then, let's teach the sinners of darkness a hard lesson, and let them know the greatness of the light. β
