Chapter 814: Changing Shifts
"Oh? The dwarves still have conditions? This is new." Li Huailin smiled directly, "Let's hear it, it seems very interesting."
"Yeah, I'm also a little curious." Anthony here also said, "The envoy of Oufuge, please tell me."
Of course, Oufuge could hear the tone of the two people here as if they were listening to a joke, but at this time he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "His Royal Highness, our condition is that we hope to be able to achieve it immediately." The surrender agreement, that is, to stop the war immediately, if possible, I hope that an agreement can be reached within today."
"Today?" Anthony here was stunned for a moment, this condition is really a bit strange.
"Your Highness, I think it will be good for the human race. After all, there are still rebel troops on the human race side. After the agreement is reached, the human race's army can immediately return to defense. This way, the siege of the rebel army can be solved immediately." Ofge here said immediately.
"Oh? That's not bad." This proposal made many ministers of the race nod their heads. Oufuge here is really right. Not many people believe that Li Huailin can immediately solve the rebels. After all But there are 40,000 people. Their whole family and all their belongings are in the main city. If the city is destroyed, how will they live? They will be safer when their army returns one day earlier. It's better to reach an agreement.
Anthony also couldn't figure it out for a while. He didn't know why the dwarves had such a proposal, so he immediately looked at the prime minister Maher next to him.
"Hmm..." Mahe here pondered for a while. Then I figured it out, "Messenger Ofuger, what you care about is your main city, Molten Iron City. Now our Second Army is still searching for the remaining remnants in your main city. I think you want to immediately That's why the battle ended."
As soon as Ma He reminded here, everyone immediately understood that searching for the remaining troops was an excuse. Now Li Huailin's Second Army is burning, killing and looting in the molten iron city, and almost turned the whole city over. The dwarves on the side want to reach an agreement immediately because of this. Now that everyone has surrendered, you can't kill them anymore. So if an agreement is reached immediately, there will be at least a little something left in the Molten Iron City here, and there will probably be nothing left until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. It is possible to level it directly.
Indeed, this is what the dwarves are thinking about now. When the news came that the 70,000 reinforcements had been wiped out, the dwarf king Aoli passed out directly. The troops are raging in their own borders, and they don't have any defensive troops on their side.
Now that the outcome of the war has been decided, there is no other way but to accept this fact. Because of Aoli's fainting, the ministers could only pull out the eldest prince Oxa to make decisions, with the consent of all the ministers. Oksa could only accept the surrender first on behalf of his father. If it drags on, the Second Legion here will continue to rob the main city, and then force them to the south. If they retreated, they would retreat to the sea, and according to the second army's practice of slaughtering every city they passed, this was no longer a crisis of destroying the country, but a crisis of extinction.
It is for this reason that the dwarves are eager to surrender now. The sooner they surrender, the less losses they will lose, and the rebels on the human side can still threaten the other side. Hurry up and let the race reach an agreement first.
After being pointed out by Mahe, the ministers here all understand why the dwarves have such a condition. But even though they knew it, most of the ministers still felt that there was nothing wrong with signing the treaty earlier. After all, the crisis in the main city of the human race really existed, and it would not be good to let the troops come back earlier.
"Your Highness,
I think this condition of the dwarves is acceptable. A minister here came out and said, "Since they already knew their mistakes and surrendered, there is no point in continuing the war." "
"Yes, Your Highness, I also agree with Lord Columba. Since we can get everything we want from the negotiating table, there is no need to fight anymore." A minister next to him also came out and said.
"The minister also agrees." "The minister reconsiders."
After the two ministers finished speaking, six or seven ministers who agreed soon stood up, but most of the ministers hadn't moved yet. They stood still and looked at the situation. The chief of the military officer's side, Li Huailin, has not yet made a sound. They dare not take their positions first. If they stand in the wrong position, it will be a disaster.
"Prime Minister, what do you think?" Anthony here didn't think about it, so he asked Prime Minister Maher first. After all, he is the prime minister, and he basically takes care of everything big and small.
Mahe here pondered for a while, then turned to Oufuge and asked, "Messenger Oufuge, is this the only condition you mentioned? Are you willing to accept all other conditions in the surrender treaty?"
"Prime Minister Mahe." Oufuge said immediately, "Since we are a defeated country, since we will accept any punishment for surrender, of course it is within our acceptable range. For example, our dwarves' annual treasury income is only 9 million gold, if we are asked to pay 10 million in compensation, we will not be able to hand it over, as long as we can do it, we will definitely obey."
After finishing speaking, Oufuge said again: "We can talk about these other conditions slowly, but please accept our surrender first."
"Hmm..." Mahe here nodded, then turned to Anthony and said, "Your Highness, since the other party is willing to pay any price for this, I think the other party's sincerity is enough, and the war should be over. Killing is pointless, and I agree with that suggestion."
"I also agree with Prime Minister Ma He." Hearing Ma He's statement, a large group of ministers stood up here, all of whom supported Ma He, and immediately followed suit.
"Hmm... Be quiet." Anthony here nodded, and then pressed his hand to signal everyone to be quiet. Most of the ministers now advocate stopping the war, and the only thing left is...
Turning his head, Anthony asked Li Huailin, "Huilin, what do you say here?"
Everyone on the scene immediately looked at Li Huailin. Li Huailin is now the Grand Marshal of the war, and all matters related to the war are under his control. Even if Anthony is the king, what he can do is to remove Li Huailin. According to Anthony's trust in Li Huailin, This estimate is not very possible, but whether to stop the war or not, this question ultimately depends on whether Li Huailin nods his head.
Oufuge also looked at Li Huailin nervously. He couldn't figure out why Li Huailin had such a great hatred for the dwarves. If you said defeating them, it would be fine. The massacre of one city after another, what kind of deep hatred is this? If he knew that Li Huailin was doing a mission just to rob, he wondered if he would vomit blood and die in anger.
Under the gaze of everyone, Li Huailin here suddenly smiled: "Ofuge, our conversation last time was also very pleasant."
"Uh..." Oufuge over here was directly depressed. He knew it was so miserable, so he surrendered last time, and he wanted to stop the war. Now it's good, the main city is almost slaughtered by others, "Aki Your Highness, Duke Tan, please forgive me, it was my fault last time, and I apologize to you."
"Do you think I'm easy to talk to?" Li Huailin said suddenly.
"Uh..." Oufuge here was stunned. The dwarves were miserable when they heard this sentence last time. Now that they heard this sentence again, could it be... Li Huailin here did not agree to surrender?
"What's the matter, Wylin, do you two have a festival?" Anthony here also heard something was wrong, so he asked, "Do you disagree with the dwarves' surrender?"
"No, no, I'm a good person." Li Huailin said, "I agree, of course I agree."
"Really?" Everyone was taken aback for a moment. It seemed that they didn't intend to agree to what Li Huailin said before, but they didn't expect to agree directly. What's the situation?
"Really?" Anthony also asked here.
"Yeah, what's the matter, do I look like someone who is not good at talking?" Li Huailin said.
"Thank you so much, Your Royal Highness, Duke of Aquitaine." Although Oufuge didn't know what was going on here, he said immediately, for fear that Li Huailin would go back on his word.
"Since Hualin also agrees, let's agree to the surrender of the dwarves." Anthony said here, "Ofuge, now we can discuss the conditions of surrender."
"Yes, Your Highness." Oufuge said immediately, "It's easy to talk about any conditions, but before that, can we let the human troops stop in the Molten Iron City to... er... search?"
Anthony didn't speak, and looked directly at Li Huailin.
"No problem, I'll let them stop now." Li Huailin said with a smile.
"Thank you, Duke of Aquitaine." Ofge here was relieved, the main task this time was finally completed.
"Wylin, do you really agree?" Anthony asked a little strangely, "Why do I always feel that there is something wrong?"
"No problem, no problem, I'll go to Molten Iron City first, tell them to stop, and come back later." Li Huailin said.
Just like what Li Huailin said, that night, the Second Human Race Legion who was burning, killing and looting in the Iron City suddenly stopped, and then they withdrew directly from the Iron City. Although they don't know what happened, the rest of the Iron City are still alive The dwarves celebrated with each other, celebrating that they finally survived.
However, their celebration didn't last long. Fifteen minutes later, Molten Iron City was suddenly invaded by more than 40,000 undead troops.
"Brothers, the human race seems to be tired of killing. His Highness said that we should change shifts. Everyone, kill and rob hard. Do you hear me?" Ruoke stood at the gate of Molten Iron City and faced the people behind him. shouted the undead soldiers.
"Yes!" A group of undead soldiers shouted together.
