Chapter 170: Business as Usual
In the evening of this day, more than a dozen letters sent by Ira, and all the replies arrived one after another. They stated the situation of the battle the night before yesterday from different aspects. If they are put together, it can also make people understand. to the whole picture of that war.
I have to admit that Ira is a terrible person... It can be seen from the letters sent that many people seem to be willing to write back to Ira, whether it is a general who seems to have experienced the battlefield or an ordinary bystander.
Even Grand Duke Novak, who was supposed to be a party to the war, was providing information to Iraq.
It's too outrageous.
"Less than half of the members of the principality participated in the war, and less than one-tenth of the members' troops were killed or injured. This is what Novak wrote—"
As Ira said this, she picked out the more valuable part of the letter, and said: "The legislators' troops arrived very slowly. Before they arrived, the merchants' troops had been pushed back a long way."
Saying so, Ira drew the key paragraphs with a quill pen dipped in ink, and repeated it in a melodious and melodious tone as if she was talking about some epic poem——
"Maybe it's because the troops of the empire are too fast, or maybe the soldiers of the parliamentarians still need to be united. The members of the parliament will not go to the battlefield so quickly. The same is true for the Novak family, and there are many people who are willing to use war to gain military merit. Maybe they get what they want... maybe."
Saying so, Ira raised her head and looked at the leaders around her who were listening to them like a good baby listening to a story. He followed the light of the fire, looked at them, and said with a smile, "Why does it feel like telling a story at a bonfire party?" Ghost story?"
faint:"……"
"So, what is Grand Duke Novak talking about? He doesn't support war?"
When Vera said this, she looked very puzzled. After all, she didn't know much about this aspect, and so did others... Others, including Satan Ye, except for the thoughtful Senata, Everyone else was also confused.
"Novak's expression is indeed very cryptic, but we can read other people's letters first."
As Ira said this, he picked up the other parchments and said, "This letter is from...my student. I will read the key points for you to listen to."
"..."
Vera glanced at it, and vaguely saw the words "Uncle"... She narrowed her eyes and realized that it wasn't another letter from Isabella, otherwise she would definitely start teasing.
"Ahem~"
Ira cleared her throat and read: "Our troops advanced very quickly, and they became stronger after Ur arrived. The enemy's troops are like recruits who have not been trained very much. We don't know each other's flags, maybe it's not any MP's troops."
"In the second half of the night, we saw the troops of the Duke of Vernon Herala and the flags of several familiar congressmen, but they did not directly enter the battlefield, but seemed to be driving and urging the recruits in front of them Come to die."
"There was no resistance, but a constant retreat."
"..."
After Ira finished speaking, Satan Ye blinked, her clever head turned around, and she thought of a possibility, and said, "Use this opportunity to train soldiers? But..."
Not knowing how to describe it, she paused, while Xilina touched her head, puzzled in her loving pupils, and said, "However, the degree of death and injury... if it is really a military training It can only make people feel unreasonable.”
Yes, if it is to train soldiers, then this kind of training will only make people feel extremely stupid, but the premise is... If such a deliberate defeat is really for training.
"Yes, it's hard to get an accurate answer if you just look at it that way."
As Ira said, he took out the parchment that he had cut off a corner and marked the key points, and said, "So, I will tell you about this information, from which you can understand the purpose of this war... and My previous guess was somewhat similar."
"cough……"
After coughing lightly, the young face of Ira sitting on the side of the fire was pulled out of the shadow by the light of the fire, as if there was another older version of Ira's face overlapping him, giving people a sense of old age. The old magician tells a storytelling illusion.
Of course, in this world, legal professionals who are good enough to be teachers usually don't look so old.
"Hey, hey, long time no see. We don't quite understand the situation on the battlefield in the Principality, but from what we've seen, it feels like nothing has changed in the territory. Everyone is still doing their own thing, as if there was no war. , but the residential area of the Caesars is a bit unhappy, it feels like it’s been a mess recently.”
Ira imitated the tone of the people at the lower level perfectly. He spread his hands and said, "At this point, we also know that the purpose of the principality's war... is probably the cliché to transfer conflicts and clean up the family."
Looking at everyone who seems to be aware of something, Ira talked about the past history that people in this world don't care much about: "Before the merger, the Principality was divided into the Hazard Principality and the Caesar Principality... It seems that the merger is actually not thorough."
"..."
"Um!"
Vera made such a sound, she seemed to understand completely, and she said: "Is it just to let the unstable factors that are not very obedient be sent out to die?"
"That's it."
Ira nodded, and he looked around at the monster leaders around him, realizing that maybe only Vera could understand the answer... because, in the eyes of monsters, it might be very imaginable [send unstable factors out to die] this topic.
"that is……"
Lodia said, instead of the black flame on her head, she turned to Ira's direction and said, "The principality is too lazy to deal with the rebellion by itself, so leave it to the empire to deal with it?"
Although this is not the case, because it is not [too lazy to spend effort on my own], but the person who cleans it up, and should not be any power of the Principality... But it is the same anyway.
So Ira nodded, and it made all the leaders suddenly understand... Even if this is not the case, the monsters will not have the concept of "justified", because on the side of the monsters, no matter what the devil wants to do, it is justified.
The ultimate authority... It's really a good thing, it reminds me of the previous world, the relaxed world with the federation.
"Well, what shall we do next?"
Asked by Satan Ye, she lifted the tip of her thin tail, which was set off by the thick tail, and poked Ira's hand with a look of expectation on her face.
"It's business as usual."
Yila said casually, and he made a judgment without hesitation: "If there is no accident, this war will stop after 40 or 50 years, and it will not affect us at all, but if there is an accident... "
"We can't let either side win, and we can't let either side lose."
