Feed the whole people, I just lie down and win

Chapter 179 Cutting down frequently, stabbing the enemy's heart with a knife!
After Mike left.

Willie, commander of the Guards Brigade, said worriedly, "My lord, are we really going to turn against Chang'an?"

"how?"

Grant raised his brows, "Didn't you always object before, saying that all the way to the dark? Now that the alliance has taken the initiative to throw an olive branch, why are you not happy?"

Although Mike said the hype, but Grant did not respond on the spot.

Still hesitating in my heart.

Seeing Willy's voice, Grant really wanted to hear the thoughts of his generals.

"I'm not opposed to getting closer to the alliance. I just feel that if we really want to completely turn against Chang'an, the future fate of the territory will really be decided by the alliance, and we will no longer have any bargaining chips." Willie said.

"You mean, neutrality is the way to survive in the territory?"

Grant's eyes lit up.

"Yes."

Willie nodded, "As long as the Alliance and Chang'an continue to fight, we will always be able to go both ways. On the contrary, if either side is defeated, the next unlucky one will most likely be us."

"Makes sense."

At this moment, Grant looked at Willie with admiration.

"The problem now is that the situation has developed to this point, we can't help but continue to sit on the fence." Grant saw it more thoroughly, "If we don't fall to the alliance this time."

"Then after this battle, no matter whether Chang'an exists or not, we cannot escape the fate of being strangled by the alliance."

If the coalition forces win, then naturally everything will cease.

Even if the coalition is invincible, as long as it is not a disastrous defeat, they can still smash their retracted fists hard at Dak, which can be regarded as a "confession" to the alliance.

"This…"

Seeing this, Willie also stood there in a daze.

What the two of them didn't know was that their conversation, including Grant's previous conversation with Mike, was recorded by the Shadow Secret Two in the shadows.

.........

The Caspian Sea, the outskirts of Sea Dragon City, is the new gathering place of the Naga tribe.

The three Naga warriors who were deliberately let go by Chang'an successfully connected with Queen Naga, and conveyed the meaning of Chang'an clearly, accurately, and unmistakably.

Can't help but they don't care, and the lives of thousands of people are still in Chang'an's hands.

"You mean, the thousands of clansmen who were captured by Chang'an before are still alive?" Queen Naga, including Shaqi, Shaluo and other elders were all shocked when they got the news suddenly.

"Didn't it mean that all the captured clansmen were killed by Chang'an?"

"That's right, didn't the Kraken claim that this is one of the terms of their deal with Chang'an?"

"That's Chang'an fooling the Sea-Monster."

The Naga warrior who came back said: "The ones that Chang'an handed over to Kraken are the corpses of clan members who were killed in the siege battle before. We were imprisoned in the prison from beginning to end."

"Your Majesty, this is in line with Chang'an's usual style of doing things." Saluo said.

He was expelled from Naga City and lived under the Sea Dragon Clan, causing the talents of the Naga Clan to wither. Sara and Shaqi, who were previously removed from the position of elders, were re-appointed as elders.

He even became the right-hand man of Queen Naga.

"Hmph, humans are cunning."

Queen Naga was still angry, "You are in prison, are you being abused?"

"not at all!"

The Naga warrior shook his head, "They didn't torture us, and the food wasn't too bad."

"I can still go out once a week to let the wind go."

Chang'an has no tradition of mistreating prisoners of war, and everything is done according to the rules.

"Your Majesty, the current Chang'an City is amazing. Before the Aztec Alliance's million-strong coalition attacked Chang'an City, they failed to do anything to Chang'an City, but were taken away by Chang'an's counterattack."

"The third largest city wall was built in Chang'an City, the boss..."

The three Naga warriors made no secret of their awe of Chang'an when they spoke.

"Humph!"

Queen Naga's face became even colder, "I doubt if you were bribed by Chang'an."

"No, no, absolutely not!"

"God is pitiful!"

"Your Majesty, with people like us, Chang'an can't afford to bribe us."

"If you really can't get used to it, wouldn't it be over if you kill it?"

The three Naga warriors looked at each other.

"What do you think?"

Queen Naga instinctively distrusted Chang'an.

"Your Majesty, didn't Chang'an want us to provide information? Why don't you send a capable member of the clan to go to Chang'an in person to confirm that the captured clansmen are indeed there and are safe. Then submit the information."

Sara made a suggestion.

After a great change, no matter Sara or Shaqi, they both grew up.

"You mean, you really want to cooperate with Chang'an?"

Queen Naga was a little hesitant. The Sea Dragon Clan decided to attack Chang'an City, but she instigated it.

What's the deal with cooperating with Chang'an?

"Your Majesty, we encouraged the Sea Dragon Clan to attack Chang'an. Revenge is only one of our goals. The ultimate goal is to take back the Naga City. But now, all the sea monsters that occupy the Naga City have joined the Sea Dragon Clan..." Sara reminded.

"..."

When this matter was mentioned, Queen Naga also gritted her teeth.

She didn't expect that the Sea Monster Clan would be so shameless. When she learned that the Sea Dragon Clan was going to attack Chang'an City, and was afraid of suffering disaster, Siren, the leader of the Sea Monster Clan, took the initiative to join the Sea Dragon Clan.

He doesn't have the dignity of being the overlord of the sea area at all.

The effect of the Kraken Clan, in the future, even if the Sea Clan army captures Chang'an, there is a high probability that Naga City will still be occupied by the Kraken Clan.

There is nothing wrong with Naga at all.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Seeing this, Shaqi on the side agreed and said: "The situation has changed now. Both Chang'an and Hailong clan will suffer, which is in the best interest of our clan. What's more, we must save the thousand clansmen."

"You are right."

Queen Naga sighed from the bottom of her heart, "One thousand people are related to the rise and fall of our family."

.........

On May 5, Chang'an City.

After Shadow Secret Guard No. [-] overheard Grant's conversation with Mike and Willie, it immediately passed it on to the Black Snake in Dak City, and the Black Snake immediately passed the information back to Chang'an.

It took less than an hour from when Grant met Mike to when Tang Jing received the news.

"Alliance, you still don't give up."

If Grant were to fall to the side of the alliance, it would definitely be detrimental to Chang'an.

Thinking of this, Tang Jing called Mr. Changshi Wu, and after explaining the relevant situation, he immediately said: "I need to trouble you to go to Dak City, and you must persuade Grant to stay in the Chang'an camp."

This is to be paid.

"Don't worry, adults!"

Mr. Wu is an all-around player, and he is happy to take on this task.

.........

After Mr. Wu left.

Tang Jing asked the General Administration of Military Affairs to send an order to the City Guard Corps to move the 12th Division to defend Pelican County.

To form a military deterrent to Dak.

.........

The next morning.

Mr. Wu arrived in Dark City, and accompanied by Black Snake, he quietly met Grant.

"I don't know why your envoy came to Dak?"

Grant asked knowingly.

Naturally, I want Chang'an to take the initiative to make a request so that it can take the lead in this negotiation.

"Come here to save Duck."

Mr. Wu is not a vegetarian, so he didn't ask for it at all, and directly turned his back on the customer.

"What do you mean by your emissary's words?"

Grant's momentum was reduced, "Aren't you playing with me?"

"No!" Mr. Wu shook his head and explained: "Dare to ask your lord, but the alliance found you and wanted to persuade you to return from the wrong way, and your lord is also tempted?"

"how do you know?"

Grant was baffled. His conversation with Mike should be confidential.

How did Chang An know about it?

Thinking of Mr. Wu rushing all the way from Chang'an City, counting the time, he couldn't help being startled.

Hard to do.

His every move is actually under the surveillance of Chang An?
Should not be!

Grant is also a veteran of the army, and he claims that with the ability of the Black Snake, it is impossible to obtain relevant information.

Or.

Has anyone in his team been bribed by Chang An?

Who is it?
Willie, or someone else?

this moment.

Grant was full of thoughts, and he became confused at once.

"My lord misunderstood. It's not what we heard. All of this is my lord's speculation. Judging from my lord's reaction, it seems that my lord has been right?"

Naturally, Mr. Wu would not be so stupid as to expose the existence of Shadow Secret Guards.

It is true that Shadow Secret Guard is the trump card, but once exposed, its value will be greatly reduced.

"is it?"

Grant was skeptical, but this seemed to be the only explanation.Compared to the appearance of a traitor inside, he would rather believe that he was cheated.

"Even if the alliance finds me, it seems that there is nothing wrong with Darke?"

Grant wants to see how Mr. Wu can "save" him.

It's no use talking nonsense.

"Big mistake!"

Mr. Wu shook his head, and without waiting for Grant's rebuttal, he continued, "Your Excellency, do you think that even if the coalition forces contain the three major armies in Chang'an, a group of sea monsters alone can conquer Chang'an City?"

"Your Excellency should be very clear about how difficult Chang'an City is to conquer."

"..."

Grant was speechless immediately, heartbroken, old man!

Think back then.

As the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, he mobilized more than one million troops, but failed to conquer Chang'an City.

He also ended up with a "destroyed reputation".

"Whether Chang'an City will be conquered by the Sea Clan or not is actually not a big loss to the coalition forces."

"But for Dark, it's a matter of life and death."

"My lord, have you ever thought that once the only ally with Chang'an is torn apart, Chang'an will continue to stand upright. When the war is over, what support or value will Dake have in the alliance?"

"I'm afraid I have to let the alliance handle it?"

This set of rhetoric is not far from what Willie said before.

"on the contrary."

"If Dake doesn't take this troubled water, he can take advantage of the opportunity of the coalition forces to compete with Chang'an and continue to attack the city in Tara Province. Only when he is strong can he be truly strong, isn't it?"

"Your envoy is really sophistry."

How could Grant be so resolute in his mind that he would be persuaded by Mr. Wu's few words, and retorted: "If Chang'an is really not afraid of Dake joining the coalition forces, why did he send an envoy to Dake. Isn't it contradictory?"

He thought he had captured Chang'an's life.

"Your Excellency is wrong."

Mr. Wu shook his head, "Chang'an doesn't want Dak to join the war, not because he is afraid of losing, but because he doesn't want to start a war for no reason in the mainland and cause casualties to innocent people. That's all."

"This…"

Based on Grant's understanding of Chang'an, it may not be a lie.

"Your envoy's proposal is indeed very tempting, but how can we guarantee that Chang'an will not kill the donkey after this round of crisis?"

Grant has always been very afraid of Chang'an.

Aggressive after all.

"It seems that my lord still doesn't regard Chang'an as a true ally." Mr. Wu shook his head in disappointment, "My lord should know that the 12th Division of the Chang'an City Guard Corps has moved to defend Pelican County, right?"

"Isn't your department's move to monitor Dak?"

It's good that Mr. Wu didn't mention this, but when he mentions this, Grant gets very angry.

Who doesn't trust whom?

"It's surveillance." Mr. Wu didn't deny it, "but if Darke chooses not to go through this muddy water, the 12th Division will still not be transferred, and will cooperate with Darke to put on a good show."

In other words.

Even if a division is "wasted" in vain, Chang'an still has the confidence to block the offensive of the Hai Clan and the coalition forces.

"This…"

Grant is really tempted now.

If Dake pretended to agree to the alliance and asked Chang'an to cooperate with the show, attacking Pelican County openly, but gathering heavy troops secretly, it would be possible to conquer Baru County in one fell swoop.

No.

It's not just Baru County.

As long as it is commanded properly, it can even conquer Mentor County in the west.

Once the land of the two counties is conquered, Dak will occupy more than half of the land in the province of Tara, and its overall strength is bound to surpass that of the city-state of Tara.

This made the balance of power in the city-state of Tara tilt towards Dak again.

Then there is Chang'an as the backer.

In the future, even if the entire territory of Tara Province is conquered, it is not impossible.

In contrast.

If Dak voted for the alliance, the best outcome would be to share the province of Tara equally with the city-state of Tara.

That's it.

It all depends on the face of the alliance.

"The Aztec Alliance is big enough. For Chang'an, being an ally in the alliance is far more beneficial than having Dak as his own." Mr. Wu added with a smile.

"For allies, Chang'an is usually very generous."

Grant couldn't argue with that.

Take the elves and dwarves in the North Fall Mountains as an example. If they had chosen to form an alliance with the Aztec Alliance instead of Chang'an as an ally, they would have been wiped out by the demon tide.

Just because Chang'an was able to mobilize the two main battle armies into the mountain at a critical juncture of the war.

Grant thought he couldn't do it.

Go a little further.

Didn't Dak be able to have what he is today because of the cooperation between the former fan and Chang'an? !
"Your envoy has a high opinion!"

Until this moment, Grant was finally persuaded, and he clasped his fists and said, "Dark will never surrender to the alliance, and is willing to strengthen the alliance with Chang'an, and advance and retreat together!"

"Your Highness!"

Mr. Wu also laughed, "By the way, my lord has entrusted me with a message to your lord—after this battle is over, Chang'an is willing to present you with three grade 4 crystal nuclei."

"Thank you!"

Grant suppressed his excitement and didn't let himself lose his composure.

Unexpected joy.

The biggest difficulty for Darke to be promoted to a first-level county town is the lack of a fourth-level crystal nucleus.

did not expect.

Chang'an is so interesting.

As for why it is after the end of the war, it is naturally a check and balance.

Grant didn't take it to heart.

Instead, it was him.

He will do the same.
