Chapter six hundred and fortieth two: Advance by retreat
On the way back to the Royal Capital, Ma Long and Julian happened to encounter the leading troops of reinforcements sent from the Royal Capital. Rows of mechanical armors were moving forward quickly, and stopped after seeing Ma Long on the ground.
"Are you Ma Long?" The commander of the vanguard was shocked after seeing Ma Long, because originally Ma Long and his party should have left Blue Star, but they unexpectedly met here again, "Why are you still here?"
This is Ma Long. Due to his previous victory at Junlin Mountain, his image among the Blue Star soldiers has become very high. If it were anyone else, suddenly appearing at this juncture, he would definitely doubt the starter.
Malone didn't have time to explain and asked: "Is the king coming?"
"The king is still behind, we are the vanguard." The man told Ma Long.
"Okay, please wait here for a moment while I go to meet the king." Ma Long had to stop the movement of these reinforcements to avoid greater losses. But in order to stabilize the morale of the troops, he could not tell them that the entire Western District had been wiped out.
"Okay." The Blue Star soldier had no doubts about Ma Long and immediately stopped his advance and stood by where he was.
Malone and Julian walked quickly again, and after about half an hour, they finally met the mighty army led by the king.
"Please report to the king, I am Ma Long, and I have something to say to the king!" Facing the mechanical team that was waiting for him, Ma Long didn't know where the king's people were, so he had to call out loudly.
The advancing troops stopped in time and lined up on both sides in an orderly manner. At the end of the catwalk formed by two rows of teams as neat as birch trees, was a mechanical armor covered in gold.
Ma Long immediately sensed the aura of the king inside the mechanical armor, and he could also judge the noble status of the person riding inside from the use of such a unique robot.
"Ma Long, it's you?" The king's voice came through the robot, "Why are you here? Didn't you leave?"
Faced with these problems that could not be explained in a few words, Ma Long was helpless. "I will explain these later. King, please give me some time. Can I talk to you alone?" In front of the huge army, Ma Long even more
He would not be stupid enough to announce that the Blue Star camp in front had been completely wiped out, so he had to take this opportunity to tell the king alone about this unfortunate disappearance.
"Okay." The king gave the order, "Stand where you are and wait for me to come back."
After saying that, the king's men fell out of the mechanical armor. The guards beside him also came out of the robot and wanted to escort them, but were stopped by the king. "Ma Long said he wanted to talk to me alone, so don't follow me.
Yes. He is our Blue Star people’s forever friend, and I believe in him.”
After leaving a few hundred meters away from the large army, Ma Long stood side by side with the king and stopped.
"Tell me, did something bad happen again?" The king was very smart. When he saw Malone and Julian coming from the battlefield in the West District, he could probably guess something, "You just came from
Come back over there? How is the situation there?"
This was not the time to offer words of comfort, so Ma Long told the truth. "It's too bad, His Majesty the King. Now it's meaningless for you to lead the troops and lead the expedition yourself. In the past, you made greater sacrifices in vain..."
With that said, Ma Long told the king everything that had just happened. When the king heard that his daughter had taken the initiative to stay as a hostage for the lives of the soldiers at the front, he became inexplicably angry.
"As expected of my good daughter, I didn't choose the wrong person..." The king was very excited, his whole body was trembling uncontrollably, his fists were clenched, but he had nowhere to vent his anger, "But Enke
This bastard can actually do such a thing, I am really blind! I have been raising tigers for many years, and I have raised such an unfilial son!"
Although he was blaming himself, Ma Long believed it deeply, but he was embarrassed to say it. Although his father was a king, there was an unknown underground laboratory in his son's home, and he didn't even know about it.
, which is really derelict. If it could have been discovered earlier, the tragedy of being invaded by the Gamma Stars might have been avoided, and at least preparations could have been made in advance. Instead of waiting all these years to discover the truth of everything,
This is irreversible.
"Your Majesty the King, don't be too excited. The entire country and people are still relying on you." Ma Long advised, "I also hope that you can lead your army back to the city to recuperate and wait for the opportunity to go to war again."
"You want me to leave my daughter alone?" The king, who seemed to have lost his mind, asked loudly, "Both my soldiers and my daughter in front of me fell into the hands of the enemy, and I have personally led the army on the expedition. The enemy is all around me.
You actually asked me to go back? If this spreads out, won’t the people of Blue Star be greatly disappointed? They don’t want their king to be a coward who doesn’t even dare to save his own daughter!”
Ma Long shook his head helplessly and continued to persuade patiently: "If the king continues to march at this time and returns with a great defeat, your people will be even more disappointed. Think about how much military strength Blue Star still has now.
?The battlefield in the Western District can be abandoned. If we fight back at this time and fail, even the royal capital will not be embraced. Not to mention your daughter, the entire civilization will be ruined in your hands. This battle will still be
We can’t fight—or rather, it’s not the time yet.”
Of course the king understood these truths, but when he heard that his daughter was in danger, how could he let it go?
Ma Long also saw the king's concerns, and finally said: "I saw that the relationship between the princess and the third prince seems to be pretty good. Compared with the third prince, he should be more concerned about the relationship between brother and sister and would not hurt the princess, so His Majesty the King
Don't worry. For the sake of your daughter and this country, please calm down."
The king closed his eyes heavily and stared toward the west for a few more seconds. Then he sighed: "Daughter, don't blame your father when you go. Ma Long is right. At this time, you still have to take the overall situation into consideration." After saying that, the king turned around.
I have already made up my mind to withdraw my troops.
"Your daughter will definitely be happy for your decision." Ma Long said behind the king. "As long as you retain your fighting power, you will have a chance to make a comeback!"
The king followed Ma Long's request and ordered the withdrawal of troops. Although everyone in Blue Star did not ask any questions, everyone seemed to have guessed something when they withdrew their troops at this time - the West District had been completely occupied and could not be rescued. Everyone was thinking about the West District
After looking at it for a few times, he turned around reluctantly and slowly returned to the royal capital.
As soon as I returned to the Royal Capital, I heard that the second prince had rushed back from the battlefield in the Eastern District to support and join forces. This was the only good news recently. All the troops of Blue Star were concentrated in the Royal Capital, and the army and the people were united.
At this time, the capital city is considered impregnable. It is waiting to attack the incoming Gamma Planet...
