Chapter 179 Frequent fights, stabbing the enemy in the heart!
After Mike left.
Willie, the commander of the Guards Brigade, said worriedly: "Sir, are we really going to fall out with Chang'an?"
"how?"
Grant raised his eyebrows, "Didn't you always oppose it before, saying that the road is going to be dark? Now the alliance has taken the initiative to extend an olive branch, why are you not happy again?"
Although what Mike said was extremely exciting, Grant did not agree on the spot.
I was still hesitating inside.
Seeing Willy's voice, Grant really wanted to hear the thoughts of his generals.
"I'm not against moving closer to the alliance. I just feel that if we really break up with Chang'an, the future fate of the territory will really be left to the alliance, and we will no longer have any leverage." Willy said.
"You mean, neutrality is the way for the territory to survive?"
Grant's eyes flashed.
"yes."
Willy nodded, "As long as the alliance and Chang'an continue to fight, we will always be able to have both sides. On the contrary, if either party is defeated, we will probably be the next unlucky ones."
"That makes sense."
At this moment, Grant was somewhat impressed by Willy.
"The problem now is that when the situation has developed to this point, we can't help but continue to sit on the fence." Grant saw it more clearly, "If we don't fall to the Alliance this time."
"Then after this battle, no matter whether Chang'an exists or not, we will not be able to escape the fate of being strangled by the alliance."
If the coalition wins, then everything will stop.
Even if the coalition loses, as long as it is not a disastrous defeat, they can still hit Dak with the retracted fist, which can be regarded as an "account" to the alliance.
"this…"
When Willy saw this, he also stood stunned on the spot.
What the two of them didn't know was that their conversations, including the previous conversation between Grant and Mike, were all recorded by the Shadow Guard II in the shadows.
………
Caspian Sea, outside Hailong City, is the new gathering place of the Naga tribe.
The three Naga warriors who were deliberately let go by Chang'an successfully connected with the Naga Queen and conveyed Chang'an's message clearly, accurately and unmistakably.
They couldn't help but care, as the lives of thousands of clan members were still being held in Chang'an's hands.
"Are you saying that the thousands of tribesmen who were captured by Chang'an are still alive today?" Suddenly receiving the news, Queen Naga, including Shaqi, Shanluo and other elders were shocked.
"Didn't you say that all the captured tribesmen were killed by Chang'an?"
"Yes, didn't Siren claim that this was one of the conditions of their deal with Chang'an?"
"That's Chang'an trying to fool the sea monster."
The Naga warrior who came back said: "What Chang'an handed over to the Kraken were the corpses of the tribesmen who had died in the previous siege. We were imprisoned in the prison from the beginning to the end."
"Your Majesty, this is in line with Chang'an's usual style of conduct." Shangluo said.
He was driven out of Naga City and lived under the Sea Dragon Clan, which led to the decline of the Naga Clan's talent. Shanluo and Shaqi, who had been dismissed from their elder posts, were re-appointed as elders.
He even became the right-hand man of Queen Naga.
"Hmph, humans are cunning."
Queen Naga was still angry, "Are you being mistreated in prison?"
"not at all!"
The Naga warrior shook his head, "They didn't torture us, and the food wasn't bad."
"I can go out for a walk once a week."
There is no tradition of mistreating prisoners of war in Chang'an, and everything is done according to the rules.
"Your Majesty, the current Chang'an City is incredible. Previously, the Aztec Alliance's millions of coalition troops attacked Chang'an City, but they failed to do anything to Chang'an City. Instead, they were taken away by a wave of counterattacks from Chang'an."
"Chang'an City has built the third largest city wall, the boss..."
The three Naga warriors made no secret of their awe for Chang'an.
"snort!"
Queen Naga's expression became even colder, "I doubt if you were bribed by Chang'an."
"No, no, absolutely not!"
"How pitiful!"
"Your Majesty, for people like us, there is no need to bribe anyone in Chang'an."
"If you really can't stand it, wouldn't it be over if you kill me?"
The three Naga warriors looked at each other.
"What do you think?"
Queen Naga instinctively distrusts Chang'an.
"Your Majesty, doesn't Chang'an want us to provide information? Then why not send a capable tribesman to go to Chang'an in person to confirm that all the captured tribesmen are indeed there and safe, and then submit the information."
Shan Luo made suggestions.
After experiencing a great change, both Shanluo and Shaqi have grown up.
"You mean, you really want to cooperate with Chang'an?"
Queen Naga was a little hesitant. The Sea Dragon Clan was determined to attack Chang'an City, but she was the one who instigated it.
What's the point of cooperating with Chang'an?
"Your Majesty, we incited the Sea Dragon Clan to attack Chang'an. Revenge is only one of our goals. The ultimate goal is to recapture Naga City. But now, the sea monsters who occupied Naga City have also joined the Sea Dragon Clan..." Shanluo reminded.
"..."
When this matter was mentioned, Queen Naga also gritted her teeth.
She didn't expect that the Sea Demon Clan would be so shameless. When she learned that the Sea Dragon Clan was going to attack Chang'an City, for fear of suffering a disaster from Chiyu, Siren, the leader of the Sea Demon Clan, actually took the initiative to join the Sea Dragon Clan.
He has no dignity at all as the overlord of the sea.
With the Siren Clan's surrender, in the future, even if the Sea Clan army conquers Chang'an and Naga City, there is a high probability that it will still be occupied by the Siren Clan.
There is nothing wrong with Naga at all.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Seeing this, Sha Qi on the side said, "The situation has changed now. It is in the best interest of our clan that both Chang'an and the Hailong clan suffer losses. What's more, we must save those thousand clan members."
"You are right."
Queen Naga sighed in her heart, "A thousand clan members are related to the rise and fall of our clan."
………
May 6, Chang'an City.
After Shadow Guard 2 overheard Grant's conversation with Mike and Willie, he immediately reported it to Black Snake in Dark City, who then immediately passed the information back to Chang'an.
It took less than an hour from Grant meeting Mike to Tang Jing receiving the news.
"The alliance still doesn't give up."
If Grant really switches to the Alliance side, it will definitely be detrimental to Chang'an.
Thinking of this, Tang Jing called Mr. Wu, the commander-in-chief, and after explaining the relevant situation, he immediately said: "I still need to trouble you, sir, to go to Duck City. I must persuade Grant to stay in the Chang'an camp."
This is about to cut off the relationship.
"Don't worry, sir!"
Mr. Wu is an all-around player and is happy to take on this task.
………
After Mr. Wu left.
Tang Jing also asked the General Administration of Military Affairs to send an order to the City Guards Corps, asking the 12th Division to move to Pelican County.
To form a military deterrent against Dark.
………
The next morning.
Mr. Wu arrived in Duck City and, accompanied by Black Snake, met Grant quietly.
"I wonder why your envoy came to Dak?"
Grant asked knowingly.
Naturally, he wanted Chang'an to take the initiative to make a request in order to take a dominant position in this negotiation.
"Come to save Duck."
Mr. Wu is not a vegetarian. He doesn't ask for anything at all and just pays attention to customers.
"What do you mean by your words?"
Grant's momentum diminished, "Are you playing a trick on me?"
"No!" Mr. Wu shook his head and explained: "I dare to ask you, sir, but the alliance found you and wanted to persuade you to turn back. Are you tempted?"
"how do you know?"
Grant was surprised and unsure. His conversation with Mike should be confidential.
How come Chang'an knew about it?
When I think about Mr. Wu coming all the way from Chang'an City, I can't help but feel frightened when I count the time.
Is it possible?
Every move he makes is actually under Chang'an's surveillance?
It shouldn’t be!
Grant was also a veteran who led troops, and he claimed that with Black Snake's ability, it was impossible to find out relevant information.
Or.
Has someone in his team been bribed by Chang'an?
Who is it?
Willy, or someone else?
this moment.
Grant could be said to have a lot of thoughts, and he was suddenly confused.
"My lord has misunderstood. It's not that we have heard anything. All this is my lord's speculation. Judging from your lord's reaction, it seems that my lord is right?"
Naturally, Mr. Wu would not be stupid enough to expose the existence of the Shadow Guard.
It is true that the Shadow Guard is a trump card, but once exposed, its value will be greatly reduced.
"Yeah?"
Grant was doubtful, but it seemed that this was the only explanation. Rather than having a traitor within, he would rather believe that he had been deceived.
"Even if the Alliance finds me, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with Dak, right?"
Grant wanted to see how Mr. Wu would "save" him.
There's no point in talking nonsense.
"Big mistake!"
Mr. Wu shook his head and continued without waiting for Grant's rebuttal: "Do you think that even if the coalition forces contain the three major armies of Chang'an, a group of sea monsters alone can conquer the city of Chang'an?"
"Your Excellency should know very well how difficult it is to conquer Chang'an City."
"..."
Grant was immediately speechless and heartbroken, old man!
Think back to the beginning.
As the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, he mobilized more than a million troops, but he failed to capture Chang'an City.
He also ended up with a "lost reputation".
"Whether Chang'an City will be captured by the Hai Clan or not, it actually won't cause much loss to the coalition forces."
"But for Dak, it is a matter of life and death."
"Have you ever thought about it, once you break up with Chang'an, your only ally, Chang'an will continue to stand firm. When the war is over, what reliance or value will Dak have in the alliance?"
"Aren't you afraid that you have to let the alliance control you?"
This rhetoric is very different from what Willy said before.
"on the contrary."
"If Dake doesn't take this trip into troubled waters, he can take advantage of the opportunity of the coalition forces to compete with Chang'an and continue to capture cities and territories in Tara Province. Only when you are strong can you be truly powerful, right?"
"Your envoy is really sophistical."
How could Grant be so determined in his mind that he would not be persuaded by Mr. Wu's few words and retorted: "If Chang'an is really not afraid of Da Ke joining the coalition, why would it send an envoy to Da Ke? Isn't it self-contradictory?"
I think I have grasped the fate of Chang'an.
"Your Excellency, you are wrong."
Mr. Wu shook his head, "Chang'an doesn't want Dake to join in, not because it's afraid of losing, but because it doesn't want to start another unprovoked war in the mainland and cause casualties to innocent people. That's all."
"this…"
Based on Grant's understanding of Chang'an, the truth may not be a lie.
"Your envoy's proposal is indeed very tempting, but how can we guarantee that Chang'an will not go to hell after this round of crisis?"
Grant has always been afraid of Chang'an.
After all, he is aggressive by nature.
"It seems that your Excellency still does not regard Chang'an as a true ally." Mr. Wu shook his head in disappointment, "Your Excellency, you should know that the 12th Division of the Chang'an City Guard Corps has moved to Pelican County, right?"
"Isn't it because your department moved the defense just to monitor Dak?"
It's okay that Mr. Wu didn't mention this, but when he mentioned it, Grant became very angry.
Who doesn’t trust whom?
"It's surveillance, yes." Mr. Wu did not deny it. "But if Dak chooses not to go into this muddy water, the 12th Division will still not be transferred and will cooperate with Dak to put on a good show."
The implication.
Even if a division is "wasted" in vain, Chang'an still has the confidence to block the offensive of the Hai Clan and the coalition forces.
"this…"
Grant was really tempted now.
If Dak pretends to agree to the alliance and lets Chang'an cooperate with the show, openly attacking Pelican County but secretly gathering a large number of troops, he can completely conquer Baru County in one fell swoop.
No.
It's not just Baruch County.
As long as they are commanded properly, they can even conquer Mentor County to the west.
Once the two counties are conquered, Dake will occupy more than half of the land in Tara Province, and its overall strength will definitely surpass the city-state of Tara.
This caused the balance of power in the Tara city-state to once again tilt towards Dake.
Then there is Chang'an as a backer.
In the future, even conquering the entire Tara Province is not impossible.
In comparison.
If Dak defected to the Alliance, the best outcome would be to share the province of Tara equally with the city-state of Tara.
That's it.
It all depends on the alliance's attitude.
"The Aztec Alliance is large enough. For Chang'an, having Daq as an ally within the alliance has far greater benefits than taking Daq as its own." Mr. Wu added with a smile.
"Chang'an is always very generous to its allies."
Grant couldn't refute this.
Take the elves and dwarves of the Beiluo Mountains as an example. If they had not chosen Chang'an as their ally, but had chosen to ally with the Aztec Alliance, they would have been wiped out by the demonic tide.
I hope Chang'an can dispatch two main battle legions into the mountains at a critical moment of the war.
Grant thought he couldn't do it.
Let’s talk a little further.
Didn't Dako's success begin with the cooperation with Chang'an in the previous series?
"Your Majesty, welcome!"
Until this moment, Grant was finally convinced, clasping his fists and saying: "Dak will never surrender to the alliance, and is willing to strengthen the alliance with Chang'an and advance and retreat together!"
"Your Excellency is righteous!"
Mr. Wu also smiled, "By the way, my master asked me to give you a message - after this battle is over, Chang'an is willing to give you three level 4 crystal cores."
"Thank you!"
Grant suppressed his excitement and did not let himself lose his composure.
What an unexpected surprise.
The biggest difficulty in Da Ke's promotion to a first-level county is the lack of level 4 crystal cores.
did not expect.
Chang'an is so interesting.
As for why it should be after the war is over, that is naturally a check and balance.
