Do not engage in underworld operations in the human world!

Chapter 200 Jiang’s best of both worlds
Cu Chulainn followed Edward all the way north to the central region of western Ulster, bordering Connacht.

Across a mountain range, Cu Chulainn saw a Connaught army of about three thousand men waiting on the border.

"Many." Cu Chulainn's expression became a little solemn.

With such a number of people, even Cú Chulainn had to be serious, because even if he could kill the enemy in front of him in a very short time, enemies would continue to come from all directions.

They are not just wooden piles, repeating 1v1 with Cu Chulainn, but will seize every opportunity to find flaws in him and kill him.

As long as there is any negligence, a wound will appear on the body, and once the first wound appears, the number of wounds will spread like a virus, like a snowball, and the wounds will eventually turn into decline.

"Are you scared?" Edward mocked unscrupulously even though his life was in Cu Chulainn's hands.

"No" Cu Chulainn shook his head: "I'm just curious. The border between our two countries is full of mountains and forests. The terrain is complex and not suitable for large-scale operations. Maeve has never gathered such a large number of troops. Why this time."

"Haha, I can't tell you this. Maybe Lord Fergus will tell you mercifully, but I will definitely not say anything."

I don't know if Edward is bluffing or if he really knows something but is unwilling to disclose it, but Cu Chulainn seems to be disapproving of this.

"Are they all elites?" Cu Chulainn said to himself.

"Oops, ouch." Fergus made an exaggerated expression, as if he had been greatly wronged: "Some people clearly said that when they grow up, they will take up the sword in my place and protect the important people, but it turns out that when they grow up, they learn to be sarcastic first. Me? It’s so sad.”

Before meeting Fergus, he had many questions to ask and many things to explain.

The soldier nodded expressionlessly, and then asked someone to go to the Chinese army.

Fergus stopped his horse with a smile:
"Long time no see, Setante, oh no, Cu Chulainn."

But when he actually saw this long-lost old friend, he didn't want to say anything more.

Fergus shrugged:

"Since you said so."

In his opinion, perhaps this army was not going for Ulster, but it was more reasonable to target himself.

No matter what he said, it was too cruel for both of them.

"Before I send Conchieber to the other world and see the fall of Ulster, I will probably always maintain such an optimistic attitude, because if I am lost because of hatred, then who can give him his due? What about the sanctions?”

But he still had the necessary vigilance, so while approaching this army of three thousand people, he was still looking for terrain that could avoid being attacked from both sides, in case he would lose his advantage in a fight.

Fergus, believe it or not, I have always wanted you to come back, and I have always felt sorry and regretful about it. I often wonder if I could have prevented it all if I had been there at that time. "

The familiar speaking style made Cu Chulainn feel a little emotional for a moment: "To be honest, it's not the right time to mention this now, but I'm glad to see you can joke around like before, I thought."

These Connaught warriors seemed to have been prepared for his appearance. They did not shout "Cú Chulainn is coming!" as soon as they saw him like the Connaught troops he had encountered before. Chaos and no order.

Fergus shook his head:

Fergus seemed to have something to say:
"I just think that you have changed in many aspects over the years, but in some aspects, you seem to have stayed the same. You even have many ideas that coincide with mine. You are worthy of being the child I raised."

"But from what you said, I can probably understand your feelings. Do you also think that what Conchieber did was wrong? If that's the case, why do you still fight for him?"

"Did I think I would die in depression? I guess you would say that, but it's such a pity."

"Of course I know that, and that's not why I'm laughing."

He hesitated.

"Whatever." Cu Chulainn didn't care: "I think we've finished reminiscing about the past. Edward told me that you met me to end this war. I think it's time to get down to business, right?"

"Ha." Fergus smiled but said nothing.

"You actually called me by my name? It's really rude as usual."

However, Cu Chulainn would not let go of his pride and retreat because of such a threat. Even if it was a trap, he would break through it.

"Fergus" Cu Chulainn called softly.

Cu Chulainn frowned: "So is this why you want to see me? To say harsh words to me? This is not like you."

Not long after, the Connaught warriors in front dispersed to both sides, and a middle-aged man riding a horse and wearing noble armor came slowly, surrounded by spear-wielding warriors.

"It's a pity, but I can't go back."

Cú Chulainn looked at the former King of Ulster, now wearing armor with the Connaught flag, and his expression became a little complicated.

"Because he is a king after all." Cu Chulainn said without thinking: "And I am not fighting for him, I am fighting for Ulster."

He stopped asking any more questions and chose to ask Fergus directly.

Cu Chulainn was speechless for a moment, and after holding it for a long time, he replied with a grimace:
"I see that you are clearly mocking me, right? But to be honest, I never thought that one day we would meet again in this way. If possible, I really don't want to face you like this.

"What do you want from me?" he asked.

Perhaps because Cu Chulainn's expression was a bit strange, Fergus explained: "I'm not mocking you this time, I really mean it."

Fergus sighed, then changed the topic and asked:

Before he could call for formation, Edward said to a soldier holding a flag in front: "Please come here, Lord Fergus. I have brought Cu Chulainn back."

Cu Chulainn frowned at his contempt: "I think you should know that if I don't come forward, then no one can stop Connacht, and many people in Ulster will die because of this." ”

Soon, he stood in front of the army's formation.

"I"

"Can't I see you if I have nothing to do?" Fergus said with some regret: "You are not as interesting as before when you sat on my knee and let me show you sword skills."

"As you can see, Maeve gave me this army and wanted me, the person who knows Ulster best, to destroy it completely.

I think as long as you pay a little attention, you can find many familiar faces among them.

I say this to tell you that we are different from other armies you have encountered. We all have a blood feud that we have to ask for from Conchierb, and we know everything about Ulster.

So we are definitely not something you can easily solve. I hope you give up this idea as soon as possible.

I know that the reason why you have been able to cause so much trouble to the Connaught army is because you are good at taking advantage of the terrain.

There are many places for you to hide in the forest, but I really can't do anything to you.

But as long as you burn these tall trees, on the plain, you will face what you are now, a charge composed of thousands of people. By then, your advantage will be infinitely reduced.

There may still be some trouble, but you are not invincible. "

Hearing this, Cu Chulainn was shocked: "You are crazy! In this way, the entire Ulster will lose its natural barriers, and countless people will be displaced because of this. Are you really going to do it for your hatred?" , dragging all so many innocent people into the water?”

"I know, of course I know, Cu Chulainn."

Fergus nodded, then asked with a smile:
"This is indeed too cruel, but this is all the disaster caused by Conchieber. If you want to hate them, you should also hate your own king. How can you blame me?"

Then, before Cu Chulainn, who looked at him like a madman, could say anything, Fergus continued:

"But after all, I am not a cruel person like Conchieber, and I would not do such a thing unless it was absolutely necessary.

What I'm saying is, the decision is yours, Cu Chulainn. "

"What do you mean?" "Two options, either I burn this forest that has protected Ulster for thousands of years, and many people will leave their homes or even die, or"

Fergus stroked the long sword in his hand:
"Just don't stand in my way, declare to the outside world that you were defeated by me, and then let me kill Conchieber with my own hands.

Once that's done, I'll leave and figure out how to get Maeve to withdraw. "

Cu Chulainn was silent.

He did not accept either option, but he also knew that the initiative was not in his hands now.

He stared hard at Fergus.

Seeing that Cu Chulainn did not reply for a long time, Fergus still asked patiently: "In other words, do you choose Conchieber or Ulster?"

"This"

"So, what you just said were not beautiful words, right?"

Fergus blinked:

"Or maybe I'm old and have bad ears. I just seemed to hear someone saying that it's better not to fight for Conchiebo, but to fight for Ulster.

If so, shouldn't the common people be prioritized? As for who the king is, it shouldn't matter, right? "

"But..." Cu Chulainn finally couldn't help but sigh: "What you want to do is to put the dignity of Ulster on the ground and trample on it."

"You are wrong." Fergus shook his head: "Everyone can do it, but only I can do this, because only if I step forward will I not lose the dignity of Ulster, because this is just My feud with Conchieber."

Cu Chulainn was silent.

"Think about it."

Fergus was no longer as cynical as before, now his face was full of seriousness:
"I will wait here for your reply. The time is three days. Once the three days are up, if you go back on your word then, you will have no chance. Even you can't do anything about this fire that will burn through half of Ireland. Stop it?"

Cu Chulainn thought about it, took off the cursed spear behind him, and said calmly: "But I can stop you before that."

But he obviously underestimated Fergus's determination.

"Ah, even if I die, I can't change the outcome."

Fergus wrote lightly:

"I originally planned to use death to apologize to those innocent people. Even if you don't do it, I will commit suicide afterwards.

I know you have the ability to kill me now, but that doesn't threaten me and the plan will continue.

And even if you have the ability to kill all three thousand people present, it won't hurt, because the number of people waiting for my order to stop the plan is ten times, twenty times, or even thirty times that number.

As you know, the Three Kingdoms Alliance Army will naturally have a large number of people. To be honest, I don’t know how many people are on the border now. "

Cu Chulainn was stunned for a while, opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word for a long time.

You really haven't changed at all.
Everyone in the world thinks you are just a person who is greedy for pleasure, but they don't know how amazing your true ability is. Once you decide to take action, your opponent will always have no room to fight back.

If he hadn't valued Conchie Erb more than your biological son, had absolute trust in him, and even pretended to be stupid to pave the way for him, I guess he wouldn't have been able to push you to this point so easily, right?
Cu Chulainn couldn't help but think so.

Fergus didn't know what he was thinking, but he didn't care.

He had written his own death into the ending. At this point, he no longer cared about anything, and there was nothing that could be used to threaten him.

The counselor enters the game with his own body and beats half of the chess pieces in the sky.

Unless Cu Chulainn really has the power to destroy a country, he has lost his qualifications for the game.

But in other words, if he really had the power to destroy the country, he would have counterattacked to the capital of Connaught alone long ago, so what would he be like now?

"Think about it." Fergus nodded his head with his finger: "At least I can't think of any possibility for you to break the situation. If you can think of it, it proves that you have surpassed me, and I will also be happy. of."

After that, he waved to Cu Chulainn: "Go back and come to me after you think about it carefully. Don't make a decision now."

Cu Chulainn looked at him deeply, then pushed Edward, the prisoner beside him, towards Fergus, then turned and left.

At this moment, Fergus suddenly called Cu Chulainn again.

"Is there anything else?" Cu Chulainn turned around.

"Well, I just suddenly remembered something and wanted to explain it to you."

"what?"

"As for the matter between Conchieber and me, it has nothing to do with you. I mean, I have never angered you. I hope you don't have any burden."

Fergus pretended to be calm, but his fingers subconsciously picked up the scabbard.

"Ah" Cu Chulainn looked a little overwhelmed by this sudden relief.

Seeing him like this, Fergus suddenly felt very embarrassed and waved his hand anxiously: "That's it, you can leave quickly."

"Oh." Cu Chulainn reflexively ran away, just like he did when he was often kicked out after being reckless and disrupting the good deeds of Fergus and various princesses.

When Cu Chulainn's figure disappeared, Fergus lowered his head a little lonely, mechanically stroked the mane of the horse under him, and muttered:
"This kid really wanted to kill me just now."

After one hour.

"So if you don't agree, countless innocent people will die?" The ghost-faced fox, who had sobered up, listened to Cu Chulainn's story with a heavy expression on his face.

Heavy Artillery felt a little headache: "What should we do?"

"Yeah. What can we do?" Cu Chulainn was lying on the grass, his eyes empty.

At this time, Jiang Lu, who had been silent until now, suddenly said:

"There is nothing to hesitate about. Don't you understand that one person's life is more important than the lives of tens of thousands of people?"

"But..." Cu Chulainn was struggling in his heart: "He is the king after all, and he is also my uncle."

"It doesn't matter if it's your biological father."

Jiang Lu thought very clearly:
"This is the operating logic of this world. Since he can force people to this point when he is in power, then there is nothing to complain about when he is treated in the same way, right? In the final analysis, it is the way of heaven that reincarnates. Who will God spare?"

"The words are rough but the reasoning is rough." Chongpao nodded.

"But."

"Maybe I have a way to get the best of both worlds." Jiang Lu smiled meaningfully.

"What's the best of both worlds?" Cu Chulainn suddenly jumped up from the ground and looked at Jiang Lu expectantly.

Jiang Lu raised a finger meaninglessly and said with a smile: "It means that Conchie Erbo and the people will die together."

The three of them were stunned for a long time, looking at each other, all suspecting that they heard wrongly.

"You call this the best of both worlds?!"
