Time passed like this little by little in the back and forth wrangling, but the fighting on the Verne battlefield never stopped, and the large-scale sweep of the Verne battlefield mountain was also carried out little by little. The Isaac guerrillas who failed to attack successfully
He simply hid completely and played hide-and-seek with those people. Verne's soldiers also received orders from above and groped slowly and cautiously.
Emperor Hugo was very dissatisfied with Verne's cowardly behavior. He scolded Emperor Verne many times and asked him to immediately deploy serious illnesses to carry out large-scale eradication. However, Emperor Verne, who had always looked at Emperor Hugo's face and acted suddenly, suddenly
Hardened, he firmly disagreed with large-scale clearing. He believed that given the advantages of his own territory, even a war of attrition would still have an advantage over the opponent. After Jean Valjean was rejected several requests in a row, he began to realize
There seemed to be some problems with his attitude, and his tone began to loosen. But the more this happened, the more Emperor Verne felt that the other party's words were full of conspiracy.
He thinks it's a trap.
Finally, Emperor Verne made a decision.
He announced to reduce the number of soldiers currently fighting, from the current one million to 700,000. Most of the 300,000 were large food consumers, such as mountain giants and giant rhinoceros knights. He announced to the outside world that all soldiers would be reduced to 700,000 from the current one million.
Ernest would fight against Isaac's guerrillas with elite troops. Emperor Hugo was even more dissatisfied with this matter, but he made no further moves.
Emperor Verne already knew what he should do.
But he had to admit that he was indeed full of adventurous spirit.
One night, on the border of Isaac, three businessman-like men entered a small tavern. The atmosphere in the tavern was very strange. The drinkers were all sitting there eating honestly, but there was no one.
Drinking alone. The three of them entered the tavern and went straight upstairs. The owner of the tavern had been busy at the bar without even raising his eyelids.
After going upstairs, the three people went directly to a room, where three people stood. One man and two girls.
"Good night, Isaac's queen, Tina Asimov, the splendid Grand Duke Fernando, and the most dazzling star next to the beautiful moonlight, Miss Luna."
The man in the middle spoke.
"Good night, please sit down."
Tina smiled and said lightly.
"Thanks."
Although he was annoyed by the other party's impoliteness, he knew that he was here to ask for help.
"We all know why I'm here, but I still have to say this before I speak."
the man said.
"Kane's matter has nothing to do with me."
-=-
When the three people left, it was already four o'clock in the morning. The group of drinkers below the tavern changed, but they were still eating there expressionlessly, and the owner of the tavern was still working there expressionlessly.
"Your Majesty, today is too risky."
A man in black said in a deep voice after leaving the tavern.
"I have always had an adventurous spirit, I know that, but I also know that my adventurous spirit can always bring me some good luck. When I signed my name, I knew that I would be where I am today.
Chess, you made the right move."
the man said.
"Moreover, the Isaacs are very smart. They know that a living Emperor Verne is more useful than a dead Emperor Verne."
The man lowered his hood, revealing Emperor Verne's somewhat haggard face.

Sometime in the fall, attacks by Isaac's guerrillas on the coalition forces seemed to become more frequent again, and garrisons in various places were attacked in certain numbers. And it was obvious that no one knew exactly who these guerrillas were.
How could they hide their main force under such a large-scale purge and still be full of energy to attack their enemies?
Emperor Verne continued to gradually reduce their troops.
So there was a phenomenon on the entire Great Plains that Isaac's army and Verne's army combined were not as large as Hugo's army alone. What's even more strange is that Hugo's army only came to watch the show?
There are also some different voices within Hugo. After all, Hugo’s frequent mistakes in diplomatic strategies in recent years have put Hugo into a serious passive situation. Seeing that the surrounding countries are developing, Hugo is still
Pushing themselves out from the door of the treasure house. What people need now is not war, but money. The strategy of economic development is the most attractive to anyone, whether it is ordinary people or businessmen, and now the situation of Hugo has
Not optimistic anymore.
At this time, a new batch of rumors came out. The aristocratic circles of various countries began to spread such news, saying that it was actually Hugo's empire that sent the assassins this time. In order to save his international reputation, Jean Valjean
Declined, they decided to drag another person into the water and face Isaac with him. At the same time, this was also a strategy for Hugo to weaken Verne. They did not allow a strong competitor to appear in the world.
Reminiscent of what Hugo once did to the Three Kingdoms of Gray Dragon River, this dazzling look is somewhat believable.
At first, this kind of rumor only spread among noble ladies in various countries, but soon it gradually became an open secret in the aristocratic circles. After all, Hugo was so active in helping Verne prepare for the war that even Verne
Even though Nadu began to withdraw his troops, Hugo still stayed in the territory of Verne. This is worth pondering.
Isaac also temporarily stopped attacking Verne's army, and both sides calmed down on the battlefield. This seemed to represent Isaac's attitude. According to reliable sources, Isaac seemed to be fighting with Verne.
After secret contact, things seemed to become complicated and confusing for a while.
Hugo was naturally very dissatisfied with this kind of thing. Emperor Hugo had repeatedly asked Verne to show the spirit of a great nation and drive Isaac out of his own country. However, although Verne paid lip service, he still
They went their own way and had no plans to exert force on the battlefield. Not only that, they even further asked Verne's army to change its active offensive strategy and start defending in place.
Everything seems to have become wonderful.
"what do you mean?"
Jean Valjean looked at Emperor Verne in front of him and was furious. He couldn't believe it. At this time, he actually stopped and allowed those Isaac's people to torment on their own land?
"No, I just feel that now is not a good time for a large-scale attack. We need to reorganize and wait for the supplies from the rear to catch up. You know, there have been problems with the domestic supply recently, and the Isaac guerrillas are always trying to attack.
Our supplies, and a lot of damage was done, we needed a safe plan."
Emperor Verne quickly explained to the other party.
"We don't need a plan! When we drive those rubes out of Verne, we will have plans, but not now, my brother, we want so many things, we don't have time to wait for your plans!"
Jean Valjean's head almost rested on Emperor Verne's head, and the saliva from his mouth sprayed all over his face.
"But our supplies are about to fail to keep up. My commander-in-chief told me that supplies to many troops on the front line have been interrupted. My children are starving and fighting each other with slow weapons."
Emperor Verne frowned. They were both emperors. Hugo was not much older than Verne. He was not qualified to speak to him like this.
"Fighting is the only thing a warrior should do, and they don't need to worry about other things. If there is food, they can fight when they are full, but if there is no food, they will fight even if they are hungry! That is a warrior!"
Jean Valjean said loudly.
-=-
"This bastard!"
Finally, Emperor Verne agreed to increase the number of troops again. When Jean Valjean left, he cursed in his study. Hugo and Verne had always been as close as brothers, and they had similar feelings.
Language, similar cultural customs, and similar national conditions. The only difference is that one is on the plateau and the other is in the hills. They established teleportation circles in each other's palaces in order to allow the two emperors to communicate as quickly as possible
Sit together to discuss national affairs.
In the hundreds of years since the two countries were established, emperors have changed one after another, but the friendship between the two countries has never changed.
But now, it was obvious that friendship could no longer satisfy the emperor's ambitions.
"Your Majesty, this is all the information since the war with Isaac."
A woman with an ordinary appearance but full of wisdom in her eyes came to the emperor's study with a thick piece of information and locked them behind her back. She was the emperor's confidant and the person he trusted most.
"This includes our country's investment in the battlefield, expenditures from the treasury, and the amount of national reserves after the war began. Hugo's treasury expenditures, war reserves, losses, and finally, the comparison with our country."
The woman whispered to the emperor.
Emperor Verne picked up the information and took a rough look at it.
"I won't read it. Please tell me what we should do."
The Emperor Verne threw the information aside, sighed and said to the woman.
