"If the Kingdom of Lhasa has joined forces with the Aisilans Empire, there is no need for you to tell us." Tina can figure it out clearly. Assuming that the Kingdom of Lhasa and the Aisilans Empire have joined forces, the soldiers of the Principality of Cheryl do not need to occupy it at all.
Harbor City.
Or in other words, if the Kingdom of Lhasa is an ally of the Esilans Empire and the soldiers of the Principality of Cheryl, why bother to capture the Harbor City?
If the Kingdom of Lhasa and the Esilans Empire collude, they can conceal the truth, lure the enemy deeper step by step, and then inflict heavy losses on the enemy.
From this, Tina speculated that Zhou Xingyun's fair and just announcement that the Kingdom of Lhasa had betrayed the United Holy Religion Army and the Osailan Alliance was nothing more than a bluff to shake their military morale.
"That's right! The conclusion of your analysis is my intuition!" Daishida nodded solemnly. She had long felt that something was wrong with Zhou Xingyun's words, but she couldn't think of what was wrong for a while. Now that Tina has figured out the problem clearly, Daishida
Shida suddenly realized that something was wrong here.
"But one thing is certain. Duke Aola of the Kingdom of Lhasa has defected to the Esilans Empire." Xia Lu added unhurriedly that the Kingdom of Lhasa did not betray the Allies. The person who betrayed the Allies was Duke Aola.
, this all makes sense.
Aura is not only the lord of Harbor City, he is also the commander of the army sent by the Kingdom of Lhasa to invade the Principality of Cheryl in this battle.
Once Aura surrenders to the Esilans Empire, Mayba Castle and Harbor City will naturally fall into the hands of the enemy.
"There's still something wrong." Daishida frowned and asked Zhou Xingyun in confusion: "Why did you come to us to negotiate? What is the purpose of your coming?"
Dashida felt that something was still wrong because after Aura defected to the Esilans Empire, Zhou Xingyun had no need to negotiate with them.
In other words, after occupying the Harbor City, the Principality of Cheryl can take them by surprise and launch a sneak attack to drive away the main fleet of the Holy Union Army and the Osselan Alliance. Then, together with the army of the Esilans Empire, they can attack the Holy City from both front and rear.
The main land force of the United Religious Army and the Oseland Alliance.
You must know that, as far as the current situation is concerned, the seaport city of the Kingdom of Lhasa is a vital transportation station for the Holy Alliance Army and the Osailan Alliance. Without the seaport city of the Kingdom of Lhasa, the main land army will have difficulty in supplying, and the morale of the military will definitely be shaken.
Unstable.
In other words, Zhou Xingyun had no need to negotiate with them unless he could represent the entire Esilans Federation and talk to them about the armistice agreement.
However, Zhou Xingyun has black hair and black eyes, and is obviously a foreigner from other places. It is impossible for Esilans to send a foreigner to negotiate an armistice agreement with the United Holy Religion Army and the Osailan Alliance.
What's more, if Essilans really wanted to cease the war, he should talk to the commander-in-chief of the main forces of the Holy Union Army and the Oseland Alliance, instead of going to the Harbor City and talking to the supply fleet at the rear.
"I want the seaport city of the Kingdom of Lhasa to become a neutral area that will not participate in your struggle with the Esilans Empire." Zhou Xingyun went straight to the point where he made his purpose clear.
"It's impossible, it can't be done, why?" Dai Shida used nine words to reject Zhou Xingyun simply and rudely.
At this time, Dai Shida became more and more confused as she listened. She couldn't understand Zhou Xingyun's thoughts at all, why he wanted Harbor City to become a neutral zone.
Tina may have felt that Dai Shida's reply was too concise, and Zhou Xingyun and others might not understand, so she couldn't help but add in detail: "Ruicheng is the territory of the Kingdom of Lhasa. You have captured Ruicheng. The Kingdom of Lhasa cannot sit idly by and ignore it. Our Holy Cult
The United Army and the Osailan Alliance, as allies of the Kingdom of Lhasa, have the obligation to help the king of the Kingdom of Lhasa retake Ruicheng."
"Furthermore, the Harbor City of the Kingdom of Lhasa is the bridgehead for the Holy Religion Alliance and the Osailan Alliance to attack the Esilans Federation. It is a vital strategic transportation location. Now that the Harbor City has fallen into your hands, we are sure
We must take it back. Even if you want Harbor City to remain neutral and not participate in the struggle of the three major forces, we cannot make the decision and agree to your request. Because we must follow the commander's order and make every effort to recapture Harbor City and ensure that the transportation lines are unimpeded.
.”
"Finally, why did you choose neutrality? Is it because of the conflict with the Essilans Empire? If so, why don't you surrender to us? Isn't it a better choice to become our ally? The Essilans Empire gives
How much benefit you have received, we, the Holy Union Army and the Osailan Alliance, can reward you twice as much."
Tina actually wanted to instigate Zhou Xingyun, I have to say she was really big-hearted.
But if you think about it carefully, Tina's move to instigate rebellion is reasonable.
As the saying goes, if you know yourself and the enemy, you will win a hundred battles. Since the Holy Union Army and the Osselan Alliance are going to war with the Esilans Federation, they will definitely make great efforts to collect intelligence on the Esilans Federation before the war begins.
Therefore, Tina and others know every character in the enemy army very well!
However, Zhou Xingyun is a mystery. There is no information about Zhou Xingyun and others in the intelligence received by Tina and others.
It can be seen that Zhou Xingyun and several other foreigners are most likely not loyal to the Esilans Empire. They are probably reinforcements brought in by the great empire in times of crisis.
Now, Zhou Xingyun proposes to make Harbor City a neutral zone, which reflects from the side that there is a conflict between him and the empire, so Tina feels there is an opportunity to take advantage of it, and maybe she can lobby Zhou Xingyun.
You must know that Zhou Xingyun was able to instigate the Duke of the Kingdom of Lhasa, thereby helping the Esilans Empire capture Maiba Fort and Harbor City. This alone was enough for the Holy Union Army and the Osailan Alliance to spend a lot of money to win him over to their side.
camp.
If Zhou Xingyun agrees to join the Holy Union Army and the Osailan Alliance, Harbor City will naturally return to their hands, which has extraordinary strategic significance.
What's more, when they first came into contact, Qili'an used Qi to freeze the sea. This move really stunned Tina and others.
Dashida controlled the sea water and made it whirlpool and dance, which was shocking enough. She wanted to give the opponent a show of strength.
Who knew that Qili'an would directly freeze the sea into ice...
To be honest, Tina, Xia Lu, and Dai Shida did not act rashly and jump onto Zhou Xingyun's ship to start a fight. They were just shocked by Qili'an's move.
When the two sides first came into contact, it seemed like a 50-50 split, and neither side was able to restrain its opponent.
In fact, Qili'an was slightly better and suppressed Tina and the others.
The reason is very simple. Dai Shida stirred up the sea water, Tina smashed the ice, and Xia Long blew away the ice. The three people's seemingly sharp actions were far less difficult than Qili'an's frozen sea.
To put it bluntly, you can do the first three effects, stir water, smash ice, and blow ice cubes. Normal people can do it, but the efficiency is not as exaggerated as them.
Where's Qili'an's? Can you blow some fairy air to make the water freeze into ice? This... I can do it if you give me a refrigerator.
In general, the difficulty of operating Qili'an's Frozen Sea was several times that of the other three. Therefore, Tina concluded that Zhou Xingyun and his team seemed to be weak, but in fact they were extremely powerful.
If we can win them over to our side, we will definitely accomplish a lot.
Facing Tina's recruitment, Zhou Xingyun could only cry helplessly in his heart... I can't do this!
To be honest, Zhou Xingyun also wants to join the camp of Tina, Xia Long, and Dai Shida. The problem is... considering the current situation, the little girls in the paradise will not betray the big empire.
It is impossible for little Sai to abandon his companions.
Furthermore, the emperor of Acelands, if you know that the soldiers of the Principality of Cheryl have defected to the enemy, what will the Principality of Cheryl do?
Also, although Edward took Andy and a dozen young men to follow Zhou Xingyun, there were quite a few children aged 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8 among the survivors in the border village, who were under the care of the residents of Maibabao.
, and took refuge in the royal capital of the Principality of Cheryl.
When the emperor of Aisilans learned that the soldiers of the Principality of Cheryl had defected to the enemy, he might take it out on the innocent people of the Principality of Cheryl. How would Zhou Xingyun explain to Edward and others?
so……
"Ahem. Unless you become my concubine, I will not join your camp." Zhou Xingyun reached out and patted Xiao Xiaosai on the shoulder, using this disgusting answer to dissuade Tina and others from wooing him.
idea.
Why did Zhou Xingyun pat Xiao Xiaosai on the shoulder? He was hinting to Tina and others that the reward given to him by the Acelands Empire was such a beautiful and lovely Xiao Xiaosai.
"Superficial man! Can just one beautiful woman satisfy you? We have three here!" Dai Shida's brain circuit was very strange. She actually felt that Zhou Xingyun should not hang herself on Xiao Xiaosai and thought that he could give it a try.
By defecting to the Holy Union Army and the Oseland Alliance, you might really be able to win the favor of the three of them. Although the success rate is infinitely close to zero...
"It seems we have nothing to talk about." Tina said very simply: "You go back, this is the last courtesy I give you."
Xia Lu followed Tina's words and said harsh words: "Next time we meet, we will be enemies."
"Alas..." Zhou Xingyun could only sigh deeply. The palms and backs of his hands were all flesh. He really didn't want to start a war with Tina and the others.
To be honest, for Zhou Xingyun, when Xiao Xiaosai took the little girls from the paradise to fight with Tina and others, it was like two wives at home having a conflict. It was hard for him to help anyone.
What to do! What to do! Mr. Zhou is worried, what should Qi Li'an do! Qi Li'an must solve Mr. Zhou's problems! Qi Li'an can do it! Qi Li'an will definitely become Mr. Zhou's good wife!
Just when Zhou Xingyun shook his head and sighed, Qili'an, who looked calm on the outside, was so anxious inside that her mind was running at super-light speed, trying to think of a way to help Zhou Xingyun solve his problems.
As a result, Qili'an really found a breakthrough... "Your mission is to ensure the transportation line of logistical supplies. If we can get out of the checkpoint outside the harbor city, what do you think?" Qili'an understands Zhou Xingyun very well.
His intention is to help Xiao Xiaosai and others create a safe place that is not intimidated by the big empire.
Tina and others need to ensure the supply line for transporting supplies, so they must capture Harbor City.
Qili'an noticed that the key location that could really block the transportation and supply lines of the Holy Union Army and the Osailan Alliance was not the Seaport City of the Kingdom of Lhasa, but the checkpoint outside the Seaport City.
As long as the checkpoints outside Harbor City fall into the hands of the Holy Union Army and the Osselan Alliance, Tina and others can still provide supplies to the main force inland along the coast, even if they are not close to the docks of Harbor City.
To be sure, as long as Zhou Xingyun, who is stationed in the harbor city, does not send troops to prevent Tina and others from docking operations, the supply lines of the Holy Union Army and the Oseland Alliance will not be cut off.
Zhou Xingyun seeks neutrality, so naturally they will not hinder Tina and others.
Even if the main fleets of the Holy Union Army and the Oseland Alliance dock on the coast next to Harbor City, Harbor City, which remains neutral, will not take the initiative to attack them.
In this way, the Holy Union Army and the Osselan Alliance can ignore Harbor City and continue to deal with the Esilans Empire.
The small fortress located in the harbor city can also be used as a pretext for guarding the city to prevent the Esilans Empire from entering and obstructing enemy ships.
"So I'm curious, why are you doing this?" Dai Shida was really confused and couldn't figure out why Zhou Xingyun insisted on turning Harbor City into a neutral zone.
Of course, looking at the problem from an outsider's perspective, it would be difficult for them to understand Zhou Xingyun's situation.
"It's hard to describe in one word." Zhou Xingyun could only use these four words to cover up the complicated situation he encountered.
"And we can promise you that once you defeat the Esilans Empire, we will immediately return this seaport city to the Kingdom of Lhasa. At the same time, you must also return Maiba Fort to us." Qili'an paused for a moment.
Taking a step forward, he stood next to Zhou Xingyun, shoulder to shoulder with him, and made terms with Tina and others.
Rather than putting forward conditions, it would be better to say that Qili'an is doing her best to remove obstacles.
Daishida had previously rejected Zhou Xingyun simply and rudely, using the nine-character phrase "It's impossible, it can't be done, why."
Tina explained in detail that it was impossible because Harbor City was the territory of the Kingdom of Lhasa, and as allies, they had the obligation to help recapture Harbor City.
If Zhou Xingyun and others promise to return the Harbor City to the Kingdom of Lhasa, then...
Qili'an gave a clear answer to Dai Shida's question "It's impossible, it can't be done, why?"
As long as the Holy Union Army and the Osailan Alliance defeat the Esilans Empire, we will return Harbor City immediately, so nothing is impossible.
As long as you promise not to attack Harbor City, we will return the checkpoints outside Harbor City to your management. Even if you lose Harbor City, you can still ensure that the transportation lines are unobstructed. What you couldn't do before was now impossible, right?
Can it be done?
After all, your mission is to ensure the supply lines for transporting materials.
As for the last question "why", Qili'an also gave the answer intentionally or unintentionally. They wanted to exchange the Harbor City of the Kingdom of Lhasa for the Maiba Fort of the Principality of Cheryl.
Qili'an's final offer in exchange for the return of Maiba Castle was like the finishing touch, confusing the judgment of Tina and others.
Why did Zhou Xingyun have a conflict with the great empire? It was probably Maiba Castle in the Principality of Cheryl.
Tina and others can see that Fort Mayba is a crucial strategic fortress for both the Principality of Cheryl and the Empire of Essilans.
Now the emperor of Aisilans is marching to Fort Maiba in person...
Will the great empire spit out the delicious meat it has swallowed? The answer is ready to come out.
Zhou Xingyun was probably not someone whom the Aisilans Empire came to for help when it was in danger. They were the life-saving straws that the Principality of Cheryl grabbed at when it was desperate.
"We can't decide on this matter, please give us a few days." Tina hesitated for a while, and finally decided to report the situation in Harbor City to her superiors, and let the commander-in-chief of the Holy Union Army and the Oseland Alliance make a conclusion.
"When we meet next time, we are not enemies yet. Right!" Zhou Xingyun said carefully, seizing on Xia Lu's speech to tease a few people.
Xia Lu ignored Zhou Xingyun's teasing, and Tina had to answer for her: "Then we can't make a decision until we meet again."
