A sword and a clean dust 136 armistice
Eric is scheming, he didn't want to join the war so soon, and he still has a lot of follow-up preparations in his hand that have not been completed, just because he got the holy blood of the Protoss, he thinks he is invincible in the world, which will have the crazy side of the previous few days.
After much deliberation, it was decided to cease the war with the Cyruan side, so Locke was called in to consult with Kowater.
Eric asked Coret, "How long does it take for that old guy from Pierre to get out?"
Kowater thought for a moment and said, "It will take a year at the earliest." ”
"Well, the old man will also have to go into retreat for a year to complete a spell. Eric nodded, and said to Locke, "You go and negotiate with them for a one-year truce." ”
The corners of Locke's mouth twitched violently a few times, and it took a long time before he said: "I'm afraid that they won't agree to the truce now, after all, our side was at a disadvantage when the day before yesterday was about to fight." Moreover, if there is a truce, then they will definitely turn against the orcs. ”
"Hmph, you care so much about the life and death of those barbarians? Just go to the negotiations, whatever they want, as long as they don't go too far, they should come down, and in the year of the armistice, you and Kowater will find a way to bring the rest of the hundred tribes into the mainland, and make the situation as chaotic as possible. Eric scoffed, the orcs were nothing more than tools he used, not allies at all.
Locke's face couldn't help but change, after all, he was still a human being, not as crazy as Eric, all he wanted was to help the Celestial Realm find the teleportation array and kill the God Exterminator, and it was not his original intention to start a war for the entire human race.
He is loyal to the God of Light, but does not want to betray the entire human race for the sake of the God of Light. There is still a trace of conscience, now he is in a dilemma, and it is impossible to withdraw if he wants to withdraw, and with Eric pressing, he can't help himself at all.
"What are you doing in a daze? Go quickly?" Eric glared at him unhappily when he saw that he didn't move.
Alas, I'm just a tool for him, maybe not even a tool, just a dispensable puppet. Locke sighed to himself and walked out to prepare for the negotiations.
Kowater also walked out, and from Locke's face, he understood Locke's difficulties, the two of them were very similar, with infinite scenery on the surface, but in fact they were other people's tools, and they couldn't control their own fate.
Since Kenshin was still recovering and had not woken up, when he first received Locke's request for negotiations, the old man thought that they wanted to make an appointment to fight again, so he and Jian Infinite made their own decisions, and the two sides directly set up a table in the center of the handover of the two armies to prepare to sign a new war agreement.
Since it was only a negotiation, the two sides did not bring many people to show their sincerity. Locke only took Cowater and Sabo and his son, and the old man of the Imperial Tomb with the sword and Hatless and Yun Ao Toti, and the rest stayed in the camp to avoid being attacked by their tricks.
After hearing Locke's request, the old man of the Imperial Tomb and Jian Wuxian looked at each other, this kind of thing is really unexpected, it stands to reason that the other party has two magic arrays that connect to the upper realm, and can summon a large number of angels to help in the battle, although it is currently at a disadvantage, but it is not yet in the truce.
"Yes, we want a temporary halt to the war for a period of one year, and for this reason, I and the Dark Curia have decided to cede two cities each as a sign of goodwill. "Locke Road.
At the time of the first truce, the Holy Court of Light had lost ten cities, and the four that were lost yesterday were all paid by the Dark Holy Court, and now there are still five cities left in the Holy Court of Light, and fourteen in the Dark Holy Court.
"This question, the old man needs to discuss with the soldiers before deciding, so let's give you an answer in three days. The old man of the Imperial Tomb exchanged opinions with Jian Wuxi, and postponed the time until three days later.
"Well, in three days, the old man wants to hear good news. Locke also knew that the backbone of the Keylua side was Kenshin, and now that he was not there, it meant that he had not woken up or not recovered, maybe this was a good opportunity to attack, but he didn't want to take risks, because they couldn't afford to lose, and if they lost again, they would be able to kill the Holy Mountain directly.
returned to the barracks and told Yun Ao and the others about the matter, and each expressed different opinions.
Among them, Totti, Phil, and Jiang Zhan'er were not in favor of a truce, and advocated a vigorous pursuit and fierce attack when they were weak, just like the God Destroyer back then, to completely wipe out the two major sects from the mainland.
It was Shui Hanfeng and Ye Wan who advocated a truce, Shui Hanfeng wanted to take advantage of the armistice year ago to support the Apsat Empire to deal with the orcs, but Ye Wan simply hated war and didn't want to face it.
Luo Tian is noncommittal, it doesn't matter if he fights or not, this guy has no right to speak, as long as he can eat enough every day. Yun Ao and the old man of the Imperial Tomb, Jian Wuxian and others said that they had asked Jian Xin's opinion first. Jun Bufan didn't vote, he stayed just to surpass Kenshin.
"His uncle, if he says to fight, he will stop, how can there be such a cheap thing? According to my meaning, young master, how good it would be to take this opportunity to destroy them, after a long time, if there is a demon holy blood on the side of the Dark Sect, it will be a big trouble. Totti babble.
"That is, the Sun God of Light and his grandfather, it is estimated that Eric's old god stick may have been killed before asking for a truce, what a pity to miss such a good opportunity. Phil raised his hands in approval, in fact, his greatest wish was to slash the enemy.
Jiang Zhan'er didn't speak, although she didn't approve of the truce, but she understood that the few people in front of her couldn't decide anything at all, and she had to ask Jian Xin everything.
The whole day was spent in the noise, and in the evening, Kenshin woke up from his meditation, ate something indiscriminately, and everyone gathered together again to continue the topic of the armistice during the day.
"Who asked for a truce, Locke or Eric?" Kenshin's mouth was stuffed with meat, after that battle, he was indeed hungry, and the blood pupils beside him were snatching the pieces of meat from him.
"It's Locke, Eric doesn't show up. ”
"Hmph, I guess the Holy Blood has run out, otherwise that crazy old thing would never make such a request. Kenshin knew in his heart that if he wasn't at a disadvantage, the Holy See would never stop fighting, the battle a few days ago, on the surface, was a draw, but in fact, Eric had the upper hand, if he wasn't too arrogant, he could not give Kenshin a chance to make a move, if there was still holy blood, let him perform his magic change again, and the fool would ask for a truce.
The old man of the Imperial Tomb thought for a while and said, "It may also be that they are preparing some conspiracy, with the character of that old fox, they can't be unguarded." ”
"It's useless, in the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy is fake, if he has enough holy blood, he doesn't need any conspiracy at all, he can directly destroy us, what I'm worried about is that they still have a trick. Jian Xin spit out the bones in his mouth, and Ye Wan next to him gently handed over a napkin.
"Think about it, since the beginning of the war, only twenty angels have appeared on the first day, but they were summoned by the sacrifices of the two sects, and the summoning magic array has never been seen. In addition, the Bright Sect has never appeared as a sacrifice to summon the archangels, which has to make people wonder, why do they ask for a truce with such a powerful force?" Kenshin raised several suspicious points one after another.
Listening to Kenshin's analysis, Phil also thought of another person, and said, "Don't you say that I forgot, the old Pope Pierre of the Dark Church seems to have never appeared. ”
"Yes, if you guessed correctly, this should be their truce reason, that summoning magic array may have to pay a certain price, and the old Pope of Darkness may be preparing something, it is certain that what he is preparing must be related to this war, otherwise he will never be absent at such a time. ”
"And you mean to destroy them before they're ready?" Phil's eyes lit up, which was exactly what he wanted.
But Kenshin's next words were like pouring cold water on his head.
"No, I mean, agree to their truce. Kenshin glanced around at the crowd and said, "I know some of you disagree, you have a reason to fight, but the truce is only temporary, I hope you can endure it for a year." ”
"I would like to hear your armistice justification. Jiang Zhan'er frowned, this was not the result she wanted.
"It's simple, because we need to prepare too. Kenshin patiently explained: "First, our overall strength is not as good as theirs, because we don't know how much holy blood they still have in their hands, we must evaluate the strength of several of them to the level of archangels, but among us, how many of us can fight with archangels?"
"Second, if the war starts at this time, it will only * dog jump over the wall, let them use the magic array that summons angels desperately, and then we will have to directly face the angel army, just a few of us, one-on-one is not afraid, the most afraid is that there are many of them, and then it will not be death in battle but exhaustion. ”
"Third, I hope to take advantage of this year's gap to persuade other families to join the war, and we can also improve our strength during this year, as long as you want, I can provide you with a place to cultivate. For this, I can guarantee that in a year, all of you will be in a higher level of strength. ”
"Fourth, we don't know enough about the two major churches, and we just took advantage of this year to find out what they are. The main thing is that I'm waiting for the two of them to come back, and then it's going to be a big fight. At this, Kenshin smiled mysteriously.
Only Yun Ao and others knew who he was waiting for, and everyone else was in the dark, no matter how much they asked. Kenshin means that their whereabouts must be kept secret until they return, and nothing can go wrong along the way.
"Can you really guarantee that we will take our strength to the next level in a year?" This was the only reason for Jiang Zhan'er to accept the truce.
"Yes, the upper level is just a conservative statement, with your talents, the achievements are by no means more than that, if you don't believe it, you can ask Yun Ao them, seven years ago, their strongest was just the lower general. "Kenshin patted his heart and assured that if nothing else, as long as he could move freely under more than twice the gravity, his strength would naturally increase.
Seven years ago, he was a low-ranking general, and in seven years he was able to reach the royal level, and he could even fight against the archangel?
Except for the sword that knew that Yun Ao and the others were hateless, everyone else turned to them with the eyes of looking at monsters, of course, the biggest monster was Kenshin, because seven years ago he was able to fight two great war emperors.
