As soon as this request was made, even the old fox Gongsun Shu was stunned. Strictly speaking, what Xiao Kaitian wanted was actually a death-free gold medal.
War is a stage play, a group of people performing on the stage. No matter how good the director is, he cannot control every detail of every actor's movements. The director is not a puppeteer. Therefore, once many wars start, there will definitely be various consequences behind it.
Uncontrollable factors.
What Xiao Kaitian wanted was this kind of exemption document. As for the boundary ruins of Baiwu Kingdom, Gongsun Shu thought it was just rhetoric.
He mused: "Okay, I just hope that Lord Xiao's behavior will not be too extreme."
"I will. After all, in principle, I am also peace-loving and don't like to fight and kill people. It would be best if Baiwu Kingdom can retreat peacefully," Xiao Kaitian nodded in agreement: "I just said hello to the parliament in advance."
"Understood. From now on, in the name of the Queen and the Parliament, Xiao Kaitian is appointed as the highest military commander of Longxu Kingdom to command all the troops to fight against the invasion of Baiwu foreign enemies."
Xiao Kaitian nodded slightly and accepted the appointment.
Perhaps due to the national crisis, Gongsun Shu did not hesitate this time and promulgated the decision to exempt the Northern Territory Market from taxation as promised. He also announced the appointment of Xiao Kaitian and the legalization of all future external military operations of Xiao Kaitian's army. He also required all domestic departments to
Cooperate fully with Xiao Kaitian.
During this period, Xiao Kaitian allowed the warships staying in the starry sky to dock, and Bai Kou and Yun Yi landed in Jie Xu.
Xiao Kaitian, on the other hand, was busy mobilizing supplies. He unceremoniously wiped out the savings of various departments of Long Xuguo.
T-value resources are not a big problem in Long Xuguo. With the support of Gongsun Shu's leading chamber of commerce, Xiao Kaitian got 50 million T-values. No matter how much he had, he would not be able to use them for the time being. He ordered the sergeant to use these light crystals and
All the memories were moved onto the battleship.
In addition, there are a large amount of food and wine worth nearly 10 million T worth, and Xiao Kaitian, a female cultivator from the service industry, has also been recruited and installed in the battleship.
There was no problem with supplies, but Xiao Kaitian had a headache with military equipment. The founding of Longxu State was basically commercial trade. There were a lot of stuff, but the military reserves were pitifully small.
There are still a lot of light crystals in the treasury, but now it is too late to take them out to buy equipment. The only thing they have are nearly a thousand dispersed warhead weapons.
This weapon is a medium-range weapon, a type of live ammunition weapon, a launch weapon specially designed for warships. It was very successful during the battle against the Hundred Warriors Kingdom, and was manufactured during the Tang Hongyun era.
However, the current effect of live ammunition weapons is not very useful in mecha warfare. First of all, its shooting range is limited. In fact, the trajectory can be easily captured and destroyed by plasma-type beam weapons. Furthermore, this weapon has been used once, and Baiwu Kingdom will definitely
There will be precautions.
Xiao Kaitian thought for a moment and realized that weapons were better than nothing. He ordered the sergeant to carry the weapons to the interstellar battleship.
Star battleships also have their own defensive weapons, and the ammunition calibers are universal. However, in normal mecha battles, the destruction of the mecha legion means the end of the battle. The battleship's weapons are at most embellishments, and they also serve as medium and long-range cover.
Xiao Kaitian tried his best to gather the resources that could be used immediately, and the army organized by Yun Yi and Bai Kou was gradually taking shape.
The two merged the 1,000 royal guard knights and the army under the original command of Yan Zhiping, excluding some monks who did not respond to the call, and added the 300 monks brought by Xiao Kaitian, the total number was 5,000 sergeants.
Compared to the massive army of 25,000 monks from the Baiwu Kingdom, the disparity in numbers was clear at a glance.
What is even more troublesome is that the monks' equipment brought by Xiao Kaitian himself has been unified, and the Royal Guards Knights are also good. The remaining nearly four thousand can be said to be a mixed army.
They are simply a bunch of rabble, and the fighting spirit of this rabble...
When everything was ready, even more depressing news came from the front. The army of Baiwu Kingdom pushed all the way, and Long Xu's important world ruins, the Pearl of the Orient, surrendered without a fight.
After the fall of the Pearl of the Orient, one of the three major ports of the Free Country and the most important economic source of the Longxu Kingdom, Gongsun Shu went into a coma after receiving the news and was rushed to the emergency ward.
His dream of operating and planning for a lifetime, using business to control the country and then influence other cities, died prematurely.
The news could not be blocked, and the entire depressed atmosphere spread throughout the country. Some elders in the parliament began to secretly plot to surrender.
Even among the sergeants, some people asked to withdraw one after another. Xiao Kaitian rubbed his brows after receiving the news. He asked Yun Yi to urgently notify that all the monks who participated in the battle would each receive 5,000 T-values, and promised
You can also get extra military merit T points after the battle.
In this way, the 25 million T-values were squandered in an instant, and the remainder was only enough for post-war rewards.
When Xiao Kaitian asked for resources again, this time the council fell ill as Gongsun Shu fell ill, and the people in power changed. The people behind him did not agree to give Xiao Kaitian any more support.
Just kidding, if you fail, you should save some for yourself, and you can still become a rich man after surrendering.
Xiao Kaitian finally fell into an extremely passive situation. There was a large army in front, an unstable rear, and unstable military morale. The most discussed thing among everyone in private was how to shirk responsibility after defeat.
Even when Natalie was dedicated to Dai Yuanzheng and Longxu State became a subsidiary city-state of Baiwu State, some people even said it loudly after being drunk.
Xiao Kaitian was wearing a custom-made light blue suit by Givenchy. He was holding a cup of coffee and standing behind the large floor-to-ceiling crystal wall of the battleship, quietly looking at the starry sky.
"Gather all the sergeants, distribute the promised T-values, provide all the drinks and food, let the service girls do their duty, and tell everyone that we will have a carnival."
"I want to maximize morale."
Yun Yi and Bai Kou shook their heads. Neither of them agreed with Xiao Kaitian's opinion. They both believed that at this time, returning to the north with troops and resources and abandoning Longxu Realm Ruins was the most correct choice.
But after following Xiao Kaitian for a long time, they still issued the order conscientiously.
"Have you heard? Commander Xiao said that he will distribute the rewards in advance and then hold a cocktail party on the battleship. There will be food, drinks and beautiful women. Do you think we are fighting for Long Xuguo?"
"The council said he was a famous general."
"What a famous general. I've already found out clearly. He's just a fool. He's just a bit lucky. No one can understand what he's doing."
"That was Tang Hongyun of the Longxu Kingdom, and Yan Zhiping died in the battle, so he got a famous general to lead him."
"Then...the reward and the reception, are we still going?"
"So Xiao Kaitian is a fool. Why don't you go? You can get T-values, eat and drink, and there are many female cultivators from high-end clubs. Do you know how much they usually charge, eight hundred points."
"this……"
"After we finish eating and drinking, we are done. We will go to the battlefield when the time comes. As soon as the Baiwu Kingdom army comes over, we will immediately surrender and run back to Longxu Realm Ruins. What can Xiao Kaitian do on his own?"
