Chapter four thousand and eighty seventh act without authorization
Subotai trembled when he heard it, and he believed what Pasiba said, because he had experienced so many battles that he could not remember them anymore. The soldiers around him changed one after another.
Those who have been able to follow them to this day have either become superpowers, or they hold important positions in the military and have become their most convenient subordinates. However, such people are only in the minority, and most soldiers have not known it for a long time.
Some were killed in battle, some were injured, some were missing, and some chose to quit due to various reasons...
As Pasiba said, war is the cruelest meat grinder. After every war, more or less soldiers will be lost. As the commander-in-chief, Subotai's heart has long been as hard as iron.
He was no longer touched by such things, but he also knew very well in his heart that Pasiba was absolutely right. If everything had to be solved by force, then no matter how many soldiers he led, even if he would never
If you win the battle, you will lose most of it sooner or later...
What's more, since I am also a human being, not a god, I will also fail sometimes?
If it fails, the price of loss will be extremely heavy, and Subotai himself would not dare to imagine such an outcome...
However, as the commander-in-chief of this joint army, he certainly could not completely give up his responsibilities and positions, so he said: "Eighth brother, I understand what you mean, and I agree very much, but our trip is to obtain the Tiangang Treasure Star.
control the Tiangang gems, and obtain some of the Tiangang gems through prospecting and mining tasks. This goal is in fundamental conflict with the Tiangang Black Hole Clan, the current actual controllers of the Tiangang Bao Xing. It is impossible for us to obtain the Tiangang Bao Xing without a fight, right?"
"Wait a minute! Let me ask you, what is our goal?" Pasiba asked emphatically.
"The goal...is to get the Tiangang Treasure Star?" Subotai was startled and said.
"wrong!"
"Wrong?!" Subotai was stunned.
Pa Siba nodded and said: "Our goal is not the Tiangang Treasure Star, but the Tiangang Jewel!"
"If there is no Tiangang Treasure Star, how can we get the Tiangang Jewel?" Subotai asked rhetorically.
"The commercial forces on the Tiangang Treasure Planet have Tiangang Gemstones. We have countless ways to obtain them. As an interstellar commercial force, we can obtain what we want through legitimate means!" Ba Siba reminded.
"That's it!" Subotai suddenly realized...
Ba Siba stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Now that Xiaoduo has become a hostage and the rebellion failed, our actions are restricted and we have no energy supply, and the Xingyun Palace is against us behind the scenes. If this war really happens,
If an outbreak occurs, both sides will probably suffer great losses, and if we cannot win in the short term, then our army will go downhill due to lack of energy halfway through the war. Are you sure about such a battle?"
"This...really doesn't..."
"If not, then we have to make another choice! Now that Tiangang and Tailao are both open to the outside world, they urgently need to deal with the outside world. We can use this to cooperate with them. The two sides can exchange their needs and promote each other. In this way, we don't have to
Paying the cost of the war can get the Tiangang gem we want. In the long run, it may be much better than us gaining control of the Tiangang treasure star, but having to deal with the harassment of the two tribes here for a long time! If it were me, if we get
Some gems require a lot of extremely precious clan members' lives. I will not do such a thing! I believe the clan leader will also think this way, not to mention that his precious grandson has become a hostage due to his own reasons. Brother Su, even if
Even without fighting, I can still handle it in front of him..." Pasiba analyzed.
"It makes sense! Thanks to Brother Eight for your guidance, I know what to do!" Subotai said sincerely.
"Haha, Brother Su can actually think of this without me having to say more, but the situation seems to have changed a little now..." Ba Siba said with a smile.
"Change?! What change?!" Subotai asked curiously.
"I received a message from Xiao Ba that three forces from Si Shui Black Hole quietly left and went straight to Tiangang Treasure Star!" Ba Siba said.
"What?!!!" Subotai was stunned!
"It seems that they must have received a summons from Wen Yuan. When the three forces saw that the rebellion failed, they simply went to grab it..." Basiba said.
"These guys are so bold! How dare they ignore military discipline and act without authorization!" Subotai said angrily.
"Brother Su, don't be angry. Actually, this is fine..." Pa Siba said.
"Oh? How do you say this?!" Subotai was startled.
Ba Siba said with a smile: "They went directly to attack Tiangang Baoxing, just to give us an outpost to see how Tiangang and Tailao would respond. We can also take a look at their strength and star luck.
How does Gong control it behind the scenes..."
"It makes sense...then what should we think about it? Should we lead the army there, or should we go alone?" Subotai said.
"You must not lead the army there!" Pasiba said quickly.
"But why?"
"If the Si Shui fleet is defeated and they run into our fleet while escaping, wouldn't we be implicated? It would be bad if we ourselves are also involved!" said Ba Siba.
"Eighth brother are you sure they will lose?!"
"Hmph, if the Tiangang and Tailao armies indeed have light-speed flying fortresses, then even the seven fleets in the Si River will be defeated and come back! We only need to observe from a distance, but we must be well concealed and prepared.
Especially for their lightspeed flying castle, you must be mentally and defensively prepared!"
"Okay! Just do what Eighth Brother said!" Subotai said seriously.
The two discussed secretly for a while and finally finalized the operation...
Soon, a high-level meeting of the United Army was held. As a result, in addition to the three forces on the Jianyang Black Hole side, only one of the seven forces on the Sishui Black Hole side came, which was the royal family where Wen Yuan belonged.
fleet, the other six independent commercial fleets all left one after another, all heading for Tiangang Baoxing!
The commander-in-chief of the Sishui Black Cave royal family is the crown prince Yi Zhang. This man is a round younger than Subotai, but he is also middle-aged, with a very handsome appearance, tall and slender, and has a bookish air. At this time
Seeing Subotai's questioning look, he couldn't help but look a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: "The commander-in-chief doesn't know something. After our other six forces learned that the rebellion failed, they felt a little anxious and wanted to hurry up.
Occupying the Tiangang Treasure Star, gaining control of it and exploiting its mineral deposits, I, the king, do not have enough deterrence, so I have to let it go..."
"Then why don't you go?" Subotai hummed.
"Ah... we are allied forces. As representatives of the royal family, we can't leave without saying goodbye like them. No matter what, I will definitely obey the commander-in-chief's lead and act according to the commander-in-chief's unified deployment!" Yi Zhang vowed.
said.
Subotai nodded and sighed: "I'm not angry because they left without saying goodbye, I'm just worried for them..."
"What? Worry?! Why should the commander worry about them? Is there any danger?!" Yi Zhang asked urgently.
"It's not your fleet, why are you anxious?" Subotai snorted.
"This... is a force of the same clan after all. Besides, if we all come out together, if we don't go back together, then I can't explain it to my father!" Yi Zhang said.
"You don't have to worry about this. They are acting without permission, and of course you will be responsible for the consequences!"
"Even so, they are all my father's subjects. If something goes wrong, I will not be at ease! I wonder if the commander can tell them the risks of this trip? Xiao Wang, I want to inform them as soon as possible..." Yi Zhang said.
Subotai pondered for a moment and said, "I wonder what Wen Yuan said to you?"
"This...Commander, please read this!" Yi Zhang hesitated for a moment, but still took out Wen Yuan's letter and passed it to Subotai...
After reading it, Subotai said: "Wen Yuan only mentioned the failure of the rebellion and some things that happened during the process. There is still a lot of information that has not been fed back?"
"What?! There is still a lot of information that has not been reported?!" Yi Zhang said in shock.
"Well, maybe he didn't get the relevant information. After all, the information Dou Mo reported back was similar to his, but we also got some other information through other channels!"
"What information? Commander, please tell me!" Yi Zhang said quickly.
"Well, the most important thing is that the fleets of Tiangang and Tailao are now greatly strengthened, because they may have several light-speed flying castles!!!" Subotai directly pointed out the key point.
"Ah?! The speed of light...Flying Castle?!!!" Yi Zhang stood up in surprise and asked in a trembling voice.
"That's right! It's the Flying Castle at the speed of light!" Subotai said seriously.
"Oh my god..." Everyone on the Sishui Black Cave side was shocked, their expressions changed drastically, and they couldn't sit still...
"Commander, what you just said was...possible?! Not sure?!" Yi Zhang reacted and asked urgently.
Subotai nodded and said: "Yes, it is possible! After all, I have not seen it with my own eyes. It is difficult to tell whether the information is true or false, so it is only possible. However, war is not a trivial matter. We must fully understand the matter before we can make any decisions.
It’s a decision whether to act or not, otherwise wouldn’t it be too risky?”
Yi Zhang nodded repeatedly and said: "The commander-in-chief is right! I will send a letter immediately asking them to stop their actions!"
After saying that, he immediately wrote the letter...
"Wait a minute!" Subotai said suddenly.
Yi Zhang was stunned and looked at Subotai...
"Is Brother Yi going to send a letter to inform them?" Subotai asked.
"Yes! If they don't stop their actions in time, they will suffer heavy losses..."
"Huh, I advise you not to send this letter!"
"But why?!" Yi Zhang was stunned!
Subotai said: "As I said just now, they acted without authorization and brought it upon themselves. As the crown prince and commander-in-chief of the Sisui Royal Family, they ran away without even listening to your words. Now even if they receive your letter, you
