Chapter 181 Negotiations between the Two Armies (1)
“Please read it to me!”
"Attack... Useless... Defense? No, protect... Request... Surrender..."
“Surrender!?”
Since Ye Kai had limited knowledge of vocabulary, his interpretation was somewhat difficult, but he managed to understand the meaning.
"All troops, be alert! There may be some unexpected events!"
"Keep a close eye on Treba's main force!!"
Under Roots' order, we went into alert mode.
"Stop before the merge, disarm. Search."
Galatea's expression became sharp. This was an area where there could be no room for negligence. If anything went wrong, the entire army could be put in danger.
“Well, let’s listen to it.”
"Why don't you ask before bringing them here?"
“There’s just no such time gap.”
"Well, that's all we can do."
“Please…”
Seeing that the situation had stabilized, Haikum began to narrate what had happened so far.
"I see. I was defeated by old man Steiner. It was a tough battle."
"Yes, at the end I didn't know what I was fighting against..."
In the midst of shock, hunger, confusion and fighting, they were defeated without gaining anything and were even treated as useless victims. Their suffering is by no means easy to understand. The decision to evacuate is also a helpless one.
"We ask for nothing. Please have mercy. If you can give my men something to eat, I will order them to flee. Then, I am willing to sacrifice my life."
Facing the stern and resolute gaze of the female commander, Haikum accepted everything with a sincere attitude.
"All right, accept the surrender. Give them something to eat. Move them to the rear for surveillance."
"Thank you so much."
After a brief silence, a shadow moved.
Opposite the top leaders of the Holzlein Army and Ye Kai and his men, they were preparing to assassinate the commander who was protected by the guards - Crown Prince Klein.
However, a sword made of light grew out of his chest. The man who was supposed to move at the same time was cut in half by a blue-haired female swordsman.
"Why……"
"Do you think I'm kidding? You're making too much noise. If you just act outwardly, you'll be exposed."
Ye Kai looked at the fallen body coldly.
"Ah, that's it? Treba's assassination unit - Dyne."
"How could such a person sneak in? When did it happen?"
Haikum's eyes widened in surprise, and he was troubled by this inexcusable fact. Is everything in vain now? This depressing thought occupied his mind.
"Is this all over?"
“Well, there’s no one else in sight.”
Ye Kai had already noticed the existence of the assassin, and quietly asked Chamu for countermeasures. She did not take it lightly, so she took action immediately.
“Is it a famous person?”
"They are Treba's Anbu. They are the ones who do everything from intelligence activities to sabotage and assassination."
“Should we catch them?”
"It's useless. They don't know anything. They just follow orders. Get rid of them."
Galatea gave instructions on how to deal with the endgame, then turned to Haikum and said, "You are such useless pawns, aren't you? You are no longer Treba's men. Go to the back to eat and rest. We will talk about your affairs after the war."
"Thank you so much……"
Haikum could no longer bear it, and tears welled up in his eyes. This must be Galatea's way of controlling people's hearts. In the future, they might swear unconditional loyalty to Galatea.
“That’s not like you. What happened?”
Looking at the body being carried away, Ye Kai raised questions.
"Yes. I think they are probably the closest to me in terms of mental structure."
“Assassin?”
"What do you think is the difference between someone who just follows instructions and me who acts according to my inner convictions?"
“Is this a moral issue? You can judge. What I see now is a heart that will not go astray.”
Hearing this, Ye Kai smiled happily.
“That’s really exciting.”
--------------
When the Phrygian army, led by Count Dorristen Steiner, arrived at Loazin, it was already evening and the sun was setting. Heikum had already joined forces with the Treba army.
During a long conversation with Klein, commander of the Holzlein Army, the army was not in a hurry to advance as it was judged that there was no need to forcefully pursue and destroy the enemy.
Because of this, they did not march in a hurry. After investigating the traces of the defeated army, they found that they had already moved south to join the main force. Although they were now facing the Holzlein army, to be honest, the defeated army was already at the end of its strength.
If they were to join forces under such circumstances, they would not be able to become a fighting force. At most, they would just be a drag, and they might have thought so in their hearts.
Therefore, Dorrisden ordered the entire army to stop and rest when facing the miserable city of Loatzin.
"Is it okay to be so slow? Master Tulio is waiting for you in the east, father."
A woman in elegant light armor called out to Dorrisden. She was Menesia. Dorrisden thought that as a daughter of a military family, she should experience the battlefield at least once, so he brought her out to serve as the adjutant of the headquarters.
Although his wife objected, Menesia was willing to go. Of course, she didn't plan to fight on the front line, just wait nearby, but this could also be considered a kind of learning.
"The soldiers are exhausted. Although you are only carried by the Senel bird, the infantry have been marching. A short rest will allow you to be ready for any situation at any time."
“Yes, I understand. I’m sorry, Father.”
Menesia was a little impatient.
But in addition to Tullio's influence, more importantly, Holzlein had already gone to war with the Crown Prince. In this case, if the results of the war were not achieved in time, he might be left behind in the post-war negotiations in the future. He was also on the battlefield and was unwilling to harm the interests of the country. Therefore, she was anxious and urged her father.
"It's okay. I know you're not here for fun, but for the sake of the country. However, the battlefield is a living thing. When you have time, you must rest, otherwise you will not be able to move. Remember this."
“I’ll keep that in mind.”
After saying this, she stroked the neck of her Senel bird. Ever since Menesia came into contact with Blue from Cham, she had been fascinated by the Senel bird.
Dorrisden agreed to her request and got a Senel bird, named Lish, and made it her pet. Lish, who has the wind attribute, is like the wind when running at full speed. This is why she is more obsessed with the Senel bird.
Although in Phrygia the nobility usually travelled on horseback, this custom was now called into question.
Although the Senel birds were obedient and easy to control, they were actually difficult to obtain and there was no way to ensure sufficient numbers. Therefore, it was inappropriate to use them on the battlefield. However, the sight of Menesia riding Lish at the city gate had gradually spread, and it became a small trend in Leankia.
