Dusk gradually falls.
Outside the Horn Castle, in the endless wilderness, the soldiers of the Lion Kingdom squatting in the war rolls were whistling for rations. Suddenly, they saw a white flag rising from the cave fort in the distance.
At first the soldiers thought they had made a mistake.
It wasn't until they discovered that there was no one on the opposite side that more and more people reacted.
A veteran immediately stuffed the half-finished rations into his pocket, trotted to the back of the trench and reported to the centurion. "The report raised the white flag at Fort Bugle." "White flag."
The centurion was shocked when he heard this, and immediately ran to the front line with a telescope to confirm for himself, and found that it was indeed the white flag. Not sure if it was a trap set by the legion, the centurion did not dare to neglect, and immediately reported the news
Reported to superiors. In this way, after reporting at different levels, the news quickly reached the Skeleton Corps.
After driving to the front line with twenty tanks, the Eye Mouse raised his binoculars and took a look at the fortifications in the distance.
As early as half an hour ago, he had already learned about Griffin's death from his brothers in the field, and he was not surprised at all when the white flag was raised on the fortress.
The administrator in Falcon City has reached an agreement with the governor sent by the legion.
The Legion will give up its claim to the town of Bicester, and in exchange, the Alliance will acquiesce to the more than 50,000 "virtual prisoners" in the Fort Horn, put down their weapons and leave the military fortress with dignity, and go to the northernmost river embankment of Oasis No. 2 to wait.
The ceasefire agreement comes into effect.
He put down the telescope, looked at the Lion Kingdom soldiers standing aside and said.
"... Let your 17th Thousand troops stationed north of the Horn Castle retreat and let these defeated generals leave." "Yes"
The ordering soldier performed a military salute and immediately ran towards the communication station.
Although the Army of the Lion Kingdom is nominally commanded by Prince Winter, it is actually coordinated and commanded by the Army Command of the Alliance. Even their radios are provided to them by the Alliance.
The accompanying captain glanced at the Eye Rat standing in the tank turret, and asked incomprehensively. "Why don't we take the opportunity to annihilate them all?" The fugitive rat in the canyon replied casually. "Griffin is dead." Then.
The captain was stunned.
His information channel has not heard any similar news."!i Then isn't this a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? "War is a means, not an end," Yang Liyang squinted his eyes in the distance and pretended to be cool.
, "This war is over and you can go home soon."
Several officers from the Lion Kingdom looked at each other.
They followed the Alliance army, chasing the Legion and the Falcon Kingdom all the way to here a thousand kilometers away. However, except for the prisoners picked up along the way, many of them didn't even have an enemy with a gun.
Seeing the opportunity, I carefully recalled that in the past month or two, all the offensive battles were basically taken over by the Alliance's Skeleton Corps and Fengken Corps. Along the way, they not only helped bring tea and water, but also dug holes and filled lines and cleaned them.
On the battlefield, if the opponent suddenly surrendered after a short battle, it would have been an easy battle, right?
When the alliance's dogs are so comfortable, it is beyond the imagination of these vassal country officers.
The Eye Rat then looked at the other players who were looking forward curiously with their necks stretched out, and shouted in Mandarin. "Brothers, take turns to go offline to eat, and those who have nothing to do will be called in after a while." The player who was following the tank Mengxin yawned and asked, "Are there any activities tonight?" "Didn't everyone on the other side vote?"
"You don't understand this. The legion is in such a hurry to escape. It's impossible to take away all the supplies." Eye-mouse chuckled and said, "The agreement negotiated by the managers only stipulated that they should be let go. When should we withdraw? They didn’t say we couldn’t visit their homes before retreating. The ceasefire agreement will take two days to negotiate.
It is estimated that not much supplies and ammunition were picked up, and the pots and pans were almost blown up by the mosquitoes. But the weapons and artillery of various calibers left behind, anti-aircraft guns can always take away, right? And those spherical armored turrets, All they use is armor steel.
The alliance wants to build ships in Tianshui and launch large-scale production in Xizhou City. There are many places where alloys are used, and even scrap metal can be sold for a lot of money. As for shipping it back, don't worry.
The entire army of the Lion Kingdom has been used as a logistics force by the alliance. With tens of thousands of people helping out, even a little bit of moving by the ants can help it be evacuated! The cute newcomers on the side were stunned when they heard this. "It's okay to be a trough." "This is no longer a human being!"
"Otherwise," Yi Miao said with a smile as she looked at the fussing newcomers, "How else do you think we rented out our tanks and artillery?" Elf King Fugui, who was sitting in the driver's seat, said with a smile. " I'll go back and drive a transport truck over."
An armored truck carries a heavy machine gun and ammunition, so it can't drag much. It's definitely not as efficient as a professional truck in fighting the autumn wind. Eye Mouse just waved his hand.
"Don't just take the truck, bring the fellows from the Lion Kingdom with you, so that they don't have to carry guns and just go to the legion's position to pick them up!" Elf King Fugui chuckled. "That's funny" said the Horn Castle.
Less than two hours after Griffin's death, the entire fortress covering an area of several square kilometers was deserted.
Under the order of the acting commander General Alec, the 50,000-strong army unloaded their weapons and withdrew to the river embankment in the north along the route designated by the alliance.
More than 50,000 clone soldiers will be left in the local area. After all, it is not economical to take them back with only a few years of life. It is better for Governor Ford to engage in construction. After death, they can be used as fertilizer, which can be regarded as making the best use of them. .
Hundreds of Weiland officers and more than a thousand non-commissioned officers will return to Triumph City with the airship after the ceasefire agreement takes effect. When they heard that they could finally go home, almost every tired face was filled with joy.
At the beginning, under the call of Griffin and the eastward expansion officers, they traveled thousands of miles to the East to seek treasure, glory and adventure. However, after arriving here, they discovered that this place was not as good a place as they imagined. Golden amusement park.
As for non-Vailant officers and non-commissioned officers, such as those who were promoted to the regular establishment due to special circumstances, they can voluntarily choose to stay. If they choose to stay, they will receive a sum of one thousand to fifty thousand dinas according to their military rank. It is the usual practice to make loose gold regardless of the situation. However, most people will choose to go to Triumph City.
Although the society of the Valantians is full of xenophobia, it is not so extreme in Triumph City.
Take slaves who have a lower status than foreigners as an example. Only in the City of Triumph, the law that "slaves cannot be executed at will" and "slaves' rights to life and health are guaranteed" will be strictly enforced, and violators will be fined huge amounts. , if the circumstances are serious, you may even be sentenced to prison.
In the distant frontier or in the manors of noble gentlemen, slaves are not treated much better than cattle and sheep. Most governors or consuls turn a blind eye to the life and death of foreigners and retire and stay in the local area with their severance pay. God knows. what will happen in the future,
What's more, after fighting against the alliance's wolf-like army, almost all soldiers and officers had some psychological shadow. They just wanted to leave this place of right and wrong. But!!!
Not everyone is so eager to leave.
At the entrance to the bunker in the center of the Horn Fort, the Willant soldiers standing in the observation post glanced towards Ruonan, and immediately ducked into the bunker beside him. They were Griffin's personal guards.
During the previous retreat, General Alec ordered them to evacuate, but their commander Karloff refused to carry out the acting commander's order, so everyone stayed.
Trotting up to Karloff, the soldier said nervously, "Sir, the Alliance people are here."
Karloff nodded and walked out of the bunker expressionlessly. He walked along the narrow concrete tunnel and went around to the observation post above the bunker. The gate directly south of the bunker was blown open. The roadblock blocking the door was dragged to the roadside by several soldiers. , trucks drove into the Horn Castle in the distance. Before the trucks stopped, excited Lion Kingdom soldiers
After getting out of the truck, he ran towards the military camp and various defense areas not far away at the command of his superiors, intending to scratch off the loot that the Rand people had not had time to take away.
Karloff watched quietly as the tents in the distance were torn down, and the looted items were stuffed into trucks one after another. One full truck drove away and another empty truck drove back. There was no wave in his heart. .
Those people were like hyenas lying on a lion... The soldier standing aside took a deep breath and looked at Karloff. "Sir, we" Karloff looked at those people coldly. "Ignore them." Even if you want to, you can't.
There are only a few hundred of them, and they are extremely short of ammunition. They can't get any benefits on the frontal battlefield, let alone being surrounded in a bunker. The war is over.
He just wants to keep Griffin's body
Just as Karloff was watching the soldiers who were scrambling for the spoils, those soldiers who were scrambling for the spoils soon discovered him standing in the observation post. A newbie ran up to the Eye Mouse and reported, "The boss is in front of you. Several Weirant people raised their eyebrows without losing sight. "Take me there."
"Okay." He walked to the front with player Ruona. Eyeshu glanced at the Wilant man standing in the observation post, and introduced himself briefly and concisely. "Commander of the Skeleton Corps, Eyeshu." Karloff said slowly. Said. "General Griffin's personal guard, Karloff."
"Why don't you leave?" He glanced at the closed door of the bunker and asked with a half-smile, "Or is there some treasure inside?"
Karloff was silent for a while, and finally told the truth. "General Alec took away all the documents and burned those that could not be taken away... There is nothing in here, only the body of my late commander.
We were ordered to send him on his last journey.'"Oh." Eye-mouse lost interest. Come to think of it.
Such a long time is enough to take away those really important things. As long as the acting commander is not mentally retarded, there is no way he would forget things in the bunker. As for Griffin's body.
The survivors of Luo Yu Xing may want to take this guy out and whip his corpse, but he is not a survivor of Luo Yu Xing, he is just a player, and he does not have such a deep sense of the suffering in the aftermath of the war.
He was even less interested in a corpse. But out of curiosity, he still asked casually, "Oh, how did he die?" "Stroke."
"Hey, if you don't want to say forget it," Fake Rat shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile, "By the way, everything here belongs to us, do you have any objection?" Karloff nodded silently. "No objection."
Disposing of the spoils of war, deciding the fate of the losers, as well as showing mercy and tolerance are all the prerogatives of the victors. They are just exercising their own rights. Eyes Mouse stared at the closed iron door for a few seconds, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart.
regret.
During the Alliance's first military operation against the Fallen Rain, the headquarters transferred the Heart of Steel to the Capital of Feast, and at the same time sent the Skeleton Corps to march in the direction of the Lost Valley. At that juncture, Griffin predicted
The Alliance has learned its own intelligence and has taken advantage of the plan, concentrating all armored forces and deploying them in advance to set up an ambush on the east side of Lost Valley.
Even looking back on it now, Eyes Mouse had to admire that guy was a genius. At that time, his Skeleton Corps was caught off guard.
If it weren't for various variables outside the battlefield, and if it weren't for the Enterprise Support Alliance's No. 60 electromagnetic gun, that guy's plan might have been successful.
In fact, earlier, without the intelligence collected by Comrade Pangolin when passing through Camp 530, the Lion Kingdom might not have been able to complete the war preparations of the alliance.
And even if the plan failed to meet expectations time and time again, the guy still made timely corrections until the last moment of his life.
Even if you don't dig into the old accounts of the Bone Tribe, the alliance was almost destroyed at the hands of this boss at least twice. He turned away from the iron door and turned his eyes to Karloff standing in the observation post, "Leave the war aside.
In terms of destruction, your commander is an impressive opponent... I am glad that he is dead, and I am sorry that he did not die in our hands. Karloff's expression was slightly touched, and he moved his Adam's apple,
But he didn't say anything, he just nodded silently to express his gratitude, then turned around and walked back to the bunker. At the same time, Falcon City.
Cohen, who was sitting in a room in the castle, finally received a call from acting commander General Alec after a long wait. "!!! We have arrived at Far West City, damn, this damn place is too poor."
"Alec's voice had a hint of joy.
Although he could only serve as a commander for a few days, it still allowed him to go through the pain of commanding thousands of troops. When he was under Griffin, his adjutant only had a handyman job, and he was often sandwiched between junior officers. I was frustrated with my superiors at both ends. This is the end of my days. "Have you all withdrawn?"
"Withdrawn...Except for Griffin's personal guards, they insisted on staying. I couldn't persuade them, so I let them go. Cohen nodded.
He didn't need to worry about Griffin's direct descendants. If they wanted to die, just let them be.
"You have to stay there for a while, and Captain Adria will take you home after the ceasefire agreement takes effect.
Alec smiled and said, "That's great."
After the words fell, both sides suddenly became silent. Both seemed to think that the other party had something to say, and both planned to wait for the other party to speak first. However, the silence did not last long.
Seeing that Mr. Governor didn't speak for a long time, Alec took the initiative and asked. "Sir, have we lost?" Cohen replied concisely.
"The ceasefire negotiations do not include this part. You will bring victory back to the Triumph City." Each side will announce their words. This is an explanation to their own people.
After hearing the answer he wanted to hear, Alec breathed a sigh of relief. "I understand."
As he and the captains of ten thousand had guessed, it was impossible for the Legion to surrender to the Enterprise, let alone the Alliance.
The company will not naively believe that this victory alone is enough to mean that the military strength of the east coast has surpassed that of the west coast.
As for those ignorant Tutu Kes, they probably want to take advantage of this opportunity to get some benefits. Although it is ridiculously naive, problems that can be solved with benefits are not problems. It is not wrong for him to entangle them with a small profit in exchange for money. .Those barbarians can just take it if they want it.
He also made some concessions as much as possible within the scope of his power, such as acquiescing to the Alliance's defeat of the slave countries, such as handing over the supplies originally sent to Griffin to them, and acquiescing to them in Bicester Town. occupation etc...
In exchange, the Alliance would return a series of prisoners, including Generals McClung and Soft, and would acquiesce to the defenders of Fort Bugle to lay down their weapons and withdraw from their positions in an honorable manner.
The rescued prisoners, the rescued officers, and the various factions in Triumph City will thank themselves. Not only did they help them preserve their strength, but they also helped them achieve a "victory" that they had not achieved on the battlefield. They I will thank him. This will be a huge political resource.
"By the way, Mr. Governor." Alec suddenly remembered something and said on the phone. Cohen said casually, "Is there anything else?"
Alec hesitated and reported truthfully.
"Griffin's body was not obtained...the cause of his death was a bit strange," Cohen said nonchalantly.
"Let him do that kind of thing. Whoever wants to collect the body for him can do it. It doesn't matter."
I had already reminded Joseph not to expect to be able to save the guy, but I didn't expect that the guy died. Although this ending is not bad.
A mere three-star captain of ten thousand wanted to kidnap the entire Triumph City. These officers who climbed up from the bottom really dare to think. Are these people who are barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes?
If he is still alive, he will definitely not be as good as him when he goes back. If he dies outside, he might still be a tragic hero. Maybe it was the guidance of the commander of the Eastern Legion.
Cohen smiled and shook his head, then hung up the phone as if it was a boring chore. The next day.
The meeting hall of Falcon City Castle was packed with people.
A few days ago, this place was deserted. All parties had only sent a few representatives, and only those few people spoke. But now, the long conference table, which was originally spacious, seemed a little crowded for a while.
First of all, on the legion side, in addition to the five-star captain Cohen who was appointed by the governor of Triumph City, the new commander-in-chief Joseph, and the captain of the Determinator Hadria, etc., almost all the captains and above who were not captured
All military officers attended the meeting.
On the corporate side, in addition to Vice Minister Wu of the General Management Department, a large number of his subordinates and dispatched employees from the five major groups also came. Including Yichuan from Silver Wing Group, Yun Ye from Duandian Group, and Changge Group
Wu Mu from the Ideal Group, Li Changkong from the Ideal Group, and the two bionic humans from the Kangmao Group.
In addition to these distinguished people, Chu Guang also saw several reporters from Ideal City.
Among them were the "Zhiyuan Newspaper" that he knew, and some media that he had no impression of. He only thought that the logos on the equipment in their hands looked familiar. They probably had interviewed in the Shuguang City area before. Considering the historical significance of this ceasefire negotiation, and
Photos and videos will be played repeatedly many times. Chu Guang paid great attention to expression management from the moment he entered the conference hall.
Just as he expected, from the moment he walked into the conference hall, almost all the cameras focused on him.
"Manager of Vault 404 and the Alliance!" the reporter from "Futurist" lowered his voice and said excitedly, "I heard that he comes from the pre-war era." "Where did you hear that?" Omniscient Broadcasting Company
The reporter cast a surprised look at her. "During the interview in Dawn City," "But he looked like he was only in his twenties."
"What's the point? Aren't the managers of the shelter just old popsicles who have been in cryo-sleep state? Maybe he is already an old monster who has lived for more than two hundred years!" Reporters from Ideal City have been chirping.
Noisy. Although it was not obtrusive in such a noisy occasion, it still made Li Ke who was sitting at the conference table feel annoyed, especially when the reporters tried to interview him.
Fortunately, there are no such annoying guys in the Wandering Swamp, otherwise I would be dead one day... These guys who poke their heads out are really more difficult to guard against than the mutant crocodiles in the swamp.
There are also a few alliance soldiers, and the look in his eyes always makes him feel weird... How to describe it, it's like the Tu Bodhisattvas of the Golden Lizard Kingdom seeing gold coins. Looking at Chu Guang sitting aside, Li
Ke tilted his head towards him and lowered his voice and asked, "Why did so many people come suddenly?"
"After all, this is a moment to witness history. Isn't it normal to take a group photo?" Chu Guang smiled, but suddenly thought that his friends in the north might misunderstand, so he added politely, "Of course.
, I'm talking about those reporters." Li Ke coughed. "You don't have to emphasize one sentence one by one - "Quiet, everyone, please be quiet."
At this time, the company representative Wu Changnian, who had finally signed his name, clapped his hands and signaled the chattering reporters and the nobles of the Falcon Kingdom to be quiet. When the conference hall became a little quieter, he spoke in a steady voice.
"Thanks to all parties for their support and cooperation. Today's peace is inseparable from your efforts."
"The contract that has lasted for a century and a half will continue. This declining world does not need more wars. In the face of a life-and-death crisis, we should join hands to face common threats and explore a common future..." he said
It lasted about ten minutes.
The representatives of Mao's army yawned, and Wu Changnian stopped talking and handed the three signed agreements to his subordinates, who handed them to the Weirant people standing next to the meeting.
Officer. "That's a lot of nonsense."
Kesi sighed, picked up the pen and signed his name on the three agreements, then pushed forward and walked directly in front of Chu Guang across the negotiating table. The contents of the agreement had been confirmed repeatedly.
The final signature was just a formality.
He just wanted to end this boring ceremony quickly, quickly deal with the mess left by the previous commander-in-chief, and then take over the Hunting Kingdom again from the alliance. After all...
Even if they were not defeated in name, the content of the agreement was not honorable to the Legion.
Most of the "substantial benefits" belonging to the alliance were outside this piece of paper. Chu Guang simply glanced at the agreement.
In addition to a series of clauses including restrictions on troop garrison and withdrawal of troops by all parties, there are only three important clauses in this black-and-white document that are important to the alliance.
One is that the legion and the Hunting Kingdom accept an unconditional ceasefire. The other is that the Heart of Steel and the town of Bicester, which originally belonged to the legion, will be owned by the alliance in accordance with the principle of "maintaining the status quo".
As for the last one, it’s about Shelter 0.
Jungu, the enterprise, and the alliance will each send one or two representatives to investigate, and the college as the observer will also send a technical staff to assist. After confirming that the content of the agreement is correct, Chu Guang, under the gaze of all participants,
His name was signed at the bottom of the ceasefire agreement. According to convention, he should say something on this important occasion. But he was not in the habit of making long speeches.
Putting down the pen in his hand, Chu Guangmao smiled and nodded to the players such as Lao Bai, Edge Pad, Spring Water Commander, etc. who were standing aside. "It's an honor to witness this moment with you." This is a moment that belongs to you.
Our victory"
