The Wind Demon Lord's voice was a little hoarse, and Reggie didn't understand what he said.
He only said: "Go."
What does go mean?
Rommund's soldiers explained the meaning of this sentence perfectly. They loosened the shackles of the prisoners and motioned for them to return to Reggie's side.
Geerka looked at the enemy in surprise, and then looked at Reggie. Reggie was also confused. Sandre shouted from behind: "Silly boy, what are you waiting for?"
Gelka rushed all the way to the mentor's side, and the other prisoners also ran back.
Is that the end of it? Just let him go without any conditions?
Reggie still looked at Long Mulder in confusion. The Lord of Wind Demon smiled and said: "I originally wanted to salvage your steel behemoths in one piece, but they are too heavy. I'm afraid they can only sleep at the bottom of the lake."
"Can you tell me what I should do?" The sudden surprise made Reggie a little embarrassed, "Should I return Duke Wenderson to you?"
Rommund smiled and said: "I look forward to Duke Wenderson coming back, but the war is not over yet. I am willing to let him continue to serve the king."
Rommund used the word effectiveness, but Reggie and Chris didn't pay attention. Only Joruus heard the deeper meaning.
The White Tower Kingdom has conquered many countries, but they rarely occupy the territory of other countries. Surrender is the final choice many countries make.
The word effectiveness is the most common word used to express surrender.
Jolu reminded Chris: "Your Highness, I think you should take out the bread and salt and find a more appropriate place to talk."
Chris frowned and said in Reggie's ear: "Do you think this is necessary?"
Reggie hesitated for a moment: "After all, I owe them a favor, so I just want to give them some face."
Chris received Lonmuld in the camp, and just as Qiaolu speculated, Lonmuld showed his willingness to surrender.
"I have long had the idea of ending the war. This war has lasted for decades. I am tired of it, and so are my people. Unfortunately, I was deceived. I listened to Yalisan's lies. I still thought
Charlemagne is the master of the Kingdom of Lane, and I surrendered to him, but I paid a heavy price."
Long Mud sighed, and then said: "I can't judge your intention, so I came to Huguang City in person. I have just been deceived. It is difficult for people who are deceived to stay rational. I have thought about fighting you, even if I can't
Winning at least earns a minimum of respect, but the moment I saw the wall collapse, I changed my mind."
Long Mud stood up and said: "I don't want to see the blood of soldiers anymore, nor do I want to see the foundation that has been worked hard for decades destroyed. Great King Lane, I am willing to surrender to you, please accept my sincerity."
The Lord of the Wind Demon put forward very generous conditions. He was willing to recognize the status of King Chrislane, was willing to pay tribute to the Lane Country, was willing to provide troops in the war, and promised never to occupy an inch of Lane Country's land.
There are only two things he wants. First, to confer Longmude as the king of the Kingdom of the Wind God, and second, to recognize Zishan County, Huguang City and Yuanshan Forest as the territory of the Kingdom of the Wind God.
This time, both Reggie and Chris understood each other's intentions. Rommund wanted his Kingdom of Wind God to become a satellite of the Kingdom of Ryan.
Things changed completely beyond Chris' expectations. After hesitating for a long time, he temporarily left the camp and prepared to discuss it with Reggie in private.
If the other party were any country on the mainland, Reggie would agree without hesitation, but if the other party was a wind demon, it would inevitably make Reggie feel a little grudge.
Chris's grudge is more serious than Reggie's, and the Wind Demon has always been a nightmare for the Kingdom of Ryan.
The old king once said: "Apart from the disobedient people, the most terrifying enemy is the wind demon."
Charlemagne once said: "Aside from Chris and Reggie Victor, the most difficult enemy is the wind demon."
Chris once said: "Destroying the wind demon is a greater dream than becoming a king."
Now, the idea of him shaking hands with Feng Mo and making peace is ridiculous.
After discussing with Reggie, Chris made a decision. He was going to give Rommund three days to consider whether to get out of the land of Lane or continue fighting.
Seeing that Chris was about to return to the camp to announce his decision, Joruus, who originally had no intention of interfering, spoke up: "Your Highness, do you think the enemy is really afraid of us?"
Chris was startled, then smiled and said: "If you are not afraid of us, why do you have to negotiate for peace?"
"You seem to have forgotten one thing. It was us who lost the battle today."
Chris said: "Why do you say that? The enemy also lost a city wall."
"I don't know as much about Feng Mo as you do, but as far as these battles are concerned, I feel that Feng Mo does not rely so much on the city wall, and we rely heavily on chariots. Now that all the chariots have been destroyed, what do you think we should do in this war?
Did you win?"
Chris remained silent because there was no room for rebuttal.
"I admire Lord Victor's vision. A quick victory has allowed you to achieve impressive results. However, if we remain in a stalemate here for too long and give Yalyshan and the Demonic Orcs enough time, the next war will be
What will it look like? If we force Feng Mo and Ya Li Shan to join forces, what will be the final result?"
"Why do you say I forced them to join forces? They were originally Yalisan's accomplices!"
"But now they want to break with Yalishan, but you didn't give them a chance. They only have four cities, and now they want to give up two of them. They now want to become your vassal state, and you canonize their king.
Isn’t this condition enough to impress you?”
Chris sneered: "Do you think I will believe the devil's lies?"
Qiao Lu said: "I don't believe them either, but if you have a chance to see the truth, you can take over the two cities first, and then let them send troops to fight Yalishan. During this period, if Feng Mo has any intention, you can
Break with them at any time! If they have always remained loyal to you, why would you abandon a powerful helper and create a formidable enemy?"
Chris hesitated for a long time and said: "I can't give them the kingdom's land, not even Huguang City or Zishan County!"
"Where did the land of Lane State come from? Wasn't such a vast territory plundered from others?"
"Do you have any misunderstandings about the Lane Country?" Chris sneered, "From the day I can remember, the Lane Country has never won any foreign war. The result of all wars is the cession of land and compensation for money and food.
"
"The history I'm talking about may be even further away..." Qiaolu wiped his sweat, and it was really not easy to convince Kress, "Then let's talk about the things in front of us. Huguang City was occupied by the Wind Demon for twenty years.
In 2000, Zishan County was occupied for forty years, and it has long been beyond recognition. Isn’t it a wise choice to treat them as land granted to the tributary countries so that the war can end as soon as possible? "
Chris said angrily: "What should we do with the people there? Are we going to let them be enslaved by the wind demon forever?"
Qiaolu sighed and said: "Your Highness, forgive me for being offended, do you think that the people can't live without the Ryan royal family? Most of the soldiers around Long Mud are human beings. If I draw my sword against Long Mud now, these
The warriors will fight back with all their might, because I see loyalty in them, and they are no longer the subjects of the Kingdom of Lane!"
