chapter 543, chapter 544
Xie Feng arrived at Kurao's castle. As soon as he entered the door, King Wilson was standing not far from the door.
"How is it?" Xie Feng asked King Wilson.
"Very good." King Wilson said: "I didn't expect you to say such reasonable words. Now, even if those anti-war people don't immediately support our war, they won't be so strong.
Objected."
Xie Feng said: "No, I didn't ask you what you think of my speech - in fact, I don't expect this speech to bring any kind of sensation. As long as such a speech is held, don't worry about it.
We can raise troops immediately."
King Wilson was stunned and asked: "Isn't the purpose of your speech to persuade them to agree to the war?"
"No." Xie Feng said: "The purpose of the lecture is not to persuade or discuss, but to inform. Tell them in another form that we are going to launch a war - no matter whether they agree or not after listening to it." Xie Feng secretly said
Thinking: It’s almost like holding a so-called hearing before raising oil prices in the real world.
King Wilson didn't quite understand Xie Feng's approach, but he didn't pay much attention to it - regardless of whether the citizens agreed or not, the war against Swadia must start, even if it goes against the rules he has adhered to since the founding of the country.
People-oriented principle.
King Wilson asked: "How about what you just asked me?"
Xie Feng said: "Oh, I'm asking about your soldiers' reaction."
Xie Feng also knew that no matter whether the ordinary citizens of Virginia supported this war or not, this war must be carried out. If the ordinary citizens opposed it alone, it would not be enough to have a key influence on the development of the war.
If the war is to be carried out, the attitude of the soldiers is very important. Although the bounden duty of soldiers is to obey, in Calradia in the Middle Ages, there were very few full-time soldiers, and the vast majority of those who participated in the war were temporarily serving in the military.
Farmers and even soldiers can take leave from busy farming to go back to their hometowns to help with work. Although there is no denying that these farmers have very objective combat effectiveness after training, after all, their discipline is relatively unsatisfactory. Soldiers are usually allowed to fight and die.
Most of them have no problem. But if they are asked to launch a war that they are relatively resistant to, I'm afraid some of them will quit. Therefore, whether soldiers should have their own ideas and wishes is a contradictory question. If soldiers can have their own
ideas, then the military may be in chaos. But if soldiers cannot have their own ideas, it seems too unhuman. However, in the Middle Ages, where the population was sparse and full-time soldiers were not yet large-scale, soldiers could only be allowed to have their own ideas.
Have some ideas of your own - there's no choice.
King Wilson smiled and said: "Their reaction was okay. Thanks to the sensation you caused when you spread your wings and flew high in the crowd last time, those soldiers were willing to believe that you were really the messenger of the God of War, so most of them expressed their willingness to follow you to carry out a campaign.
This is a war that they may not find acceptable - by the way, I never asked you, how did you fly? What methods and means did you use?"
Xie Feng smiled and said: "If I answer you that I am really the messenger of the God of War, would you believe it?"
King Wilson spat and said, "I don't believe in God."
Xie Feng blinked and asked, "Then do you believe me?"
King Wilson said: "You have to make me believe that you are really the messenger of the God of War?"
"No." Xie Feng said: "I asked you whether you believe me, which means that if you are willing to believe me, I hope you can let me hide it for a while. I admit that I have too many secrets that I am hiding from you, and I also hope that you can let me hide it for a while.
I can confess everything to you...but now is not the time." As he said that, Xie Feng sighed deeply.
King Wilson stepped forward, held Xie Feng's hands with both hands, and said softly: "If the result of your confession is that I will lose something, I would rather you keep hiding it."
After listening to King Wilson's words, Xie Feng was silent for a long time, and finally hesitated: "I don't know if you will lose anything... Anyway, when I knew these facts, I lost a lot.
…”
If Sera...no, anyone knows the truth about this world, I'm afraid the whole world will be lost...
"Okay, let's not talk about this for now." Xie Feng said: "Lana was defeated a few days ago. The situation at Mallag Fort is probably imminent. I have to go back quickly."
King Wilson said: "Didn't you explain everything to Tan Zuo?"
Xie Feng said: "It's one thing to give an explanation, but it's another thing to go back and see in person. I think everyone over there is looking forward to me until their necks grow long - the original Feng Xie suddenly turned into Xie Feng, I guarantee that they
If you are ready, you can ask me questions tonight."
King Wilson chuckled twice and said, "You don't want to make a special trip to answer their questions, do you?"
Xie Feng smiled and said: "I'm not such a good person. I went back mainly to communicate with Saiga Khan about the alliance. Now Swadia is suppressing the Kujit Khanate to death. If there is no effective method,
, I am afraid that Swadia will take the lead in annexing Kugit in a few months, and Saiga Khan will have no choice. In addition, I also want to go back to see if Jamala is in the castle. Last time I
After I came back and got to know you, she disappeared and disappeared. The last time I asked Zuo Tanzuo, she said she hadn't come back."
King Wilson let go of Xie Feng's hand and warned: "I think Charlotte will never stand idly by while watching you successively form alliances with other countries to fight against her. She will definitely do something to hinder you.
Please be careful in your actions."
Xie Feng smiled and said: "What can she do? Suppose I let out word that I would beat up a few people when I went out, and I had already started beating one or two of them. What if I learned that the remaining people were preparing to join forces to beat me up?
Going back, I don’t know how to stop them from joining forces?"
King Wilson warned again: "It's better to be careful anyway."
Xie Feng smiled and said: "Okay! I promise I will be careful - Harus!"
At this time, Harlaus' head popped out from an alley in the Lord's Hall and asked: "What's the matter?"
Xie Feng said: "What are you still asking about? Didn't I already agree when I picked you up a few days ago? Let's go!"
At the same time, in Lana's castle.
Charlotte was holding an exquisite crystal wine glass, and in the wine glass was Kugit’s specialty mare’s milk.
Charlotte first smelled the glass, with the same confident smile on her face, then took a sip of the wine in the glass, but immediately frowned and said to herself: "I used to think it was because of transportation.
Or maybe it’s because of the freshness... I didn’t expect that the freshest kumis I drink here still has a taste that I don’t like very much. Hmm... It seems that no matter how good something is rumored to be, it may not be suitable for me.
..." As he spoke, he tilted the wine glass in his hand, and the full glass of the highest-grade kumiss poured out onto the ground.
"Your Majesty." An officer was kneeling on one knee in front of Charlotte and shouted to Charlotte. He seemed to have been kneeling for a long time, and when he saw that Charlotte ignored him, he shouted again.
"Oh, sorry, I forgot someone was here." Charlotte smiled and asked the kneeling officer, "What's the matter?"
The officer said: "Your Majesty, we have been resting for several days after we captured Lana. Now that the soldiers have completely rested, I think we have taken advantage of the fact that the soldiers' affairs are still at their highest, and have a close relationship with the soldiers of Uluzdak Fort.
The troops are attacking Halma. Now Halma is isolated and helpless. As long as the two armies attack, I believe we can capture Halma in just one day!"
Charlotte smiled and said: "It's not just Halma who is alone and helpless?" As she said this, Charlotte turned around and stared at the map of Calradia hanging on the wall.
On this large and clear map, Lana has been marked with a cross in the territory of the Kujit Khanate. To the north of Lana, Malagh Fort has been heavily circled with red ink.
.
"Your Majesty!" the officer said: "With all due respect, taking down Maleg Fort has no strategic significance for us, but now it is the best plan to capture Halmar!"
Charlotte asked: "How's it going in Virginia?"
The officer said: "Return to your Majesty! The Virginia people's anti-war demonstration has not yet ended. According to intelligence, it seems that Xie Feng will hold a large-scale speech in Kulau today."
Charlotte said dissatisfied: "Of course I know this. I asked the army I sent to Vaegia."
The officer said: "They have already gathered near Tilburg. As long as His Majesty gives the order, within half a day the troops there will change to His Majesty's flag and pretend to attack Zhivadin."
Charlotte smiled and said: "Very good, let them do it now."
The officer hesitated a little and said: "But your Majesty... the lord of Zivadin has rich experience in the battle of Aetherod. I'm afraid he will see that this is a feint attack..."
Charlotte smiled and said: "I just want him to see that this is a feint...Okay, don't ask so many questions about things you shouldn't ask."
The officer immediately nodded and said: "Yes... Then, Your Majesty... what should we do here?"
Charlotte said: "Change the banner of any lord and prepare to fight against Halma."
The officer said happily: "Your Majesty is wise!"
"Then..." Charlotte interrupted: "Attack Mallagburg tomorrow."
In the officer's astonishment, Charlotte said: "Just do it. Don't bother so much about things that don't need you to worry about - if you still want your head to stay on your neck."
Upon hearing this, the officer hurriedly responded with a roar and retreated.
Charlotte stared at "Malleg Castle" on the map and said to herself: "Come on, Xie Feng...will you get miraculous help this time like in Jiantian Valley?"
…
On the snowfields of Virginia, Xie Feng and Harlaus were galloping one by one.
Harraus was slightly dissatisfied and said: "Xie Feng, why do we have to go to Kugit alone? If you go to Kugit to negotiate an alliance with Saiga Khan, you should bring some soldiers to make it more decent, right?"
Xie Feng explained: "First, it's a matter of time. Leading troops will affect the speed of our journey, and we don't have much time; Second, it's a matter of concealment. The news of my return has spread throughout the continent of Calradia, Charlotte
There must be some movement over there - in fact, I haven't seen any action from her for so long since I came back. I am also very curious and very uneasy at the same time... Some enemies are just so strange. The quieter they are, the more you feel...
Danger."
After hearing this, Harlaus nodded, and then said: "Perhaps Charlotte deliberately kept quiet for a period of time to paralyze you, and then she could kill you by surprise."
Xie Feng sighed and said, "Actually, it would be a headache for me if she never took action. I would have to be on guard against any possible means she might use at all times."
Suddenly, Harus said: "Xie Feng, look at the mountain over there..."
At this time, Xie Feng and Haraus were almost approaching Zivadin. To the west of Zivadin was a large mountain, Ladogir Mountain. This mountain appeared very abruptly in a plain, overlooking the entire plain.
.
Xie Feng was quite familiar with this mountain - he had received an attack at the foot of this mountain from the troops sent by Yarogerk, the king of the old Vaegia, which was equivalent to the fuse for the restoration of Serra. It is hard to imagine that if
If Yarogerk hadn't foolishly wanted to kill Xie Feng and others to silence them, would Sera want to restore the country, and what would happen to him now?
Xie Feng looked at the mountain with squinted eyes, and then asked: "What's wrong with that mountain?"
Harlaus frowned and said: "If my many years of combat experience have not deceived me... there should be many soldiers ambushed on that mountain..."
Xie Feng was startled and asked: "Soldier? What's going on? Where are you from?"
Harlaus said: "I don't know about that... If it's about what you just said... these troops are probably sent by Charlotte to deal with you..."
Xie Feng wondered: "Deal with me? Ambush in the mountains?"
Harlaus said: "Maybe they are not on the mountain to ambush, maybe they are hiding and waiting for other things... Charlotte's scheming and city government are not comparable to ordinary people. If this army on the mountain is really arranged by him,
If so, everything will never be as simple as it seems on the surface..."
"Hey! Look, Fourth Brother!" Suddenly, Xie Feng stretched out his hand and pointed at Zivadin in front of him.
