Chapter 1634 The future kingdom
The comparison of combat power between the two sides is very obvious. Even if the enemy of the Fatel is several times as many as the white ship, it will not be able to turn the world. There is no need to worry about other enemy ships coming to support. You must know that thanks to the operation of chasing and escaping, the entire noble united warship has fallen into chaos. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the fleet led by Astray also forced itself up, and used rounds of shelling to gradually turn the chaos into panic, which is only one step away from complete collapse.
The overall situation has been decided, so I can take a break. Well, using a ship to break a fleet and a man to break a fleet. Does that sound even cooler there?
Lu Xi felt that this question actually needed to be considered more seriously, so he finished the coffee in his hand. Lieutenant Colonel Mikel, who was standing next to him, hurriedly came up to fill it with him, and every fold on his face was filled with smiles.
Although Lu Xi could not see it, he also felt the other party's 100% obedience and enthusiasm, and smiled and said, "Lieutenant Colonel, your comrades are making meritorious contributions. Such opportunities are not to be missed, and you don't have to become a service staff member."
"It is precisely because of your great power that everyone has the opportunity to make meritorious contributions. You have almost completely defeated the main force of the enemy with one person, but there will always be some fatigue. The lower official feels that being able to do a little bit of effort for you to relax and rest for a while is much more important than killing the heads of several enemy generals. Colonel Ovresha and his comrades are there, and the lower official is here." He looked solemn and his voice firm, as if he was really carrying out a glorious and arduous task.
This guy is a talent! Lu Xi thought.
"However, when you see this scene, the official must pluck up the courage to advise you... Well, maybe, in your eyes, the enemy has gathered a hundred thousand troops, but they are just like ants. When a great existence like you releases its power freely, it is indeed like a real god... But, Your Excellency, you are now a commander who is leading us mortals!"
Alas? It’s so interesting. This guy doesn’t seem to be a simple flatterer. Lu Xi thought.
"I think you shouldn't use your supreme power as the norm. This is actually to protect all the soldiers of the army under your wings. But where will this position be placed by our subordinates? We follow you to fight and are willing to fight for you. Please believe in our strength."
Oh, it's a bit interesting. Just by these few sentences, this lieutenant colonel deserves great promotion.
"And, after all, your body is inconvenient... If you are tired of such a high-intensity spell casting rhythm, or if you are a little injured, what should you do if the soldiers of the army do?" At this point, his voice became more hoarse, and even choked with silence.
...Retract the preface, this guy is indeed a talent! Why do I always encounter such talent?
"I accept your advice, Lieutenant Colonel." Lu Xi smiled on his face, slowly picked up the coffee cup and sipped it, nodded with satisfaction, and then, before Lieutenant Colonel Kemir showed a happy expression, suddenly made his voice a little hesitated: "But this shouldn't be the only thing you want to say to me, right?"
"Uh...this..."
"Lieutenant Colonel, we don't work much, but you should know that I am actually a very kind and approachable leader. I am very happy to listen to others' opinions." Lu Xi patted the lieutenant Colonel's shoulder with an old affair: "Speak, say bravely."
Lieutenant Colonel Kemir twitched and looked at the surrounding scenery. Now, although the battle was not over, the soldiers who rushed over one after another had already begun to clean up the corpses on the deck, but they were all a pile of miserable broken arms, blood, bones and minced meat that almost all had to be immersed in the deck. If it weren't for the fact that this Fatel was still a black ship, it would have been fine if the blood and odor were not washed clean, but the terrible corpses, and even the last resentment and fear of the deceased during his lifetime, the palpitations would probably not be dissipated in another three to five months.
...In fact, it doesn't look like a kind person? If I really "bravely said" I would join them? Lieutenant Colonel Kemir thought.
However, expressing your opinions bravely may be to join the ranks of the deceased, but when you know that your leader already knows what you have, you still have to try to hide it, that is, you are deliberately looking for unlucky.
Lieutenant Colonel Kemir looked at Lu Xi's face that didn't even have any blood or stains on it, and had to admit that it was really flawless and even a straight man in steel could be bent, but it was so frightening to be in this environment.
He opened his mouth, and in just one second it seemed to have plucked up all the courage of his life: "...George, Your Excellency, if you are willing to Lieutenant General Drake Orentian is willing to surrender, and the officers on the ship, if they are willing to put down their weapons, can they give them a way out?"
Lu Xi put down the coffee cup in his hand expressionlessly and said indifferently: "After saying this, I remembered that Lieutenant General Orentian is your distant relative, right?"
"Uh, it's actually my mother's uncle's cousin's nephew's wife... Well, after all, it's not really blood-related." Lieutenant Colonel Mesley Kemir said, "Actually, if they resist stubbornly, they will be willing to die in battle, but no matter what, they are all magicians. Wow, the reason why the Magician Federation was able to become the current academic alliance was also the hard work of the reform of the Great Sage of Laxis! In this way, all the spellcasters are also disciples of the Great Sage of Laxis, so everyone is actually your relatives!"
So that's what we can say? Lu Xi thought.
Lu Xi quietly spread his perception and soon confirmed that the stormtrooper led by Colonel Ovresha had almost basically suppressed the entire deck, and Drake and his group had retreated from the bridge's stairs into the cabin. At this time, as long as the dwarf stormtroopers rushed into the cabin, they would be very lucky. However, perhaps everyone felt that they had already jumped into the cabin, and it would be a pity that they didn't find a way to take the ship as well as possible.
After all, it is also the latest and most powerful guided warship. One of the three famous red, black and blue ships, the appearance of the hull is not the same as the surrounding warships, and it is particularly destined to be with everyone at first glance.
However, the entrance to the cabin was narrow after all, and a strong attack was not a solution. For a moment, the battle situation fell into a brief stalemate.
Lu Xi never spoke. So, the lieutenant colonel went from looking forward carefully to being dejected and disappointed, to the end of the face full of pain and sorrow.
"Go and persuade me to surrender." Lu Xi said suddenly.
The Lieutenant Colonel went from a depressed and frustrated person to a vital successor. He knocked his breastplate hard and hurried away.
Lieutenant Colonel Kemir's work of persuading surrender began, and at this time, the entire battle was basically at the end of the stage. When many ships in the central ranks of the nobles' United War Fleet were embarrassed by the explosion caused by magic, and even the flagship Fatere into a bloody Shura field, the rest of the warships completely lost their organizational ability. To put it bluntly, this huge fleet of hundreds of ships only seemed relatively powerful. When they lost the order from the general flagship, they could not expect that someone would take over the command.
So, when the White Ship and Alras started raiding the enemy fleet as the core, warships turned around and fled. The first group of deserters of these noble troops were also the vanguards who launched the gargoyle transport ships. The crew felt that they could honestly accept the orders from their superiors and conscientiously fulfill the mission of cannon fodder, which was already very brave! Since the facts proved that Commander Drake's plan was not successful, there was no need to die.
The transport ship that turned 180 degrees on the spot almost collided with the warship behind, not only blocking the other party's route of advance, but also completely obscuring the shooting range of their artillery. The scene became more and more chaotic.
Of course, the red lightning of the Alras could not miss this opportunity. After several particularly fierce shellings against the most dense and chaotic enemy of the noble fleet, they confirmed that they had sunk nearly ten enemy ships, creating greater chaos and panic that spread like a plague, they actually ordered only ten warships under their command to surround the two wings.
The ten ships looked like they wanted to completely encircle and annihilate the enemy ten times their own. This was not only crazy but also too fucking. However, the ordinary soldiers of the noble army did not know how many people and ships there were on the other side. They only knew that their fleet was inexplicably shipped one ship after another on Boom, and even the general flagship was no exception. Now the main force of the enemy was pressing up again, and the artillery fire was so strong that everyone could not raise their heads.
The enemy is too fierce, and only by running can you barely save your life.
When panic completely controls the body and mind of ordinary soldiers, the officers are completely unable to suppress them. Moreover, most officers have become part of the panic.
The main fleet of the noble coalition army began to collapse.
The overall situation has been decided!
Perhaps because of this, Sehiliu also left the command post of the White Ship and arrived on the Black Ship Fatel from the portal.
"Actually, our victory is unshakable. All that remains is news from Miss Nanoka. You don't have to maintain the portal anymore. This is somewhat a burden to you." She said to Lu Xi.
"Just think I'm practicing basic skills. There are too many chores recently, and even the basic magician's practice has been taken down. These people are too naughty, and after working for so long, they can't stand the competition with the old man." Lu Xi said.
Since he had brought out all the old man, Sexiliu had no idea what to say, so he took Lu Xi's coffee and replaced it with a carefully prepared hot drink that could replenish physical strength and nutrition. By the way, he changed the topic: "If Lieutenant Colonel Kemir succeeded in persuading surrender, are you really going to accept their surrender?"
"... Could it be that little girl named Rachel who also took the wife's route?"
"Who is the wife? She didn't say anything, but just showed a little expression of wanting to speak but stopping in front of me. Haha, I have to admit that the girls carefully cultivated by the big family are really amazing."
"Look at your tone of speaking... I thought you would be best friends."
"The first time I met her was when I was a student, she joined the student union. Everyone worked well, but they were far from being friends. Then it was... on the white boat, and I was only one spell to kill her. Then, she became my best friend. Yes, if you can win the final victory, she will always be my best friend. Even if I personally persuade you to cut down the head of Lieutenant General Drake Orentian and her uncle's head and hung it on the flagpole to show it to the public, it will always be like this. In short, looking at this now, our sisterhood should last until the end of our lives."
"Sehiliu, has anyone ever told you that you have grown up?"
"Someone said that I am more and more like you, but I am not happy at all." Sexilu burst out laughing.
"Martial wife always influences each other. This is the objective law of the world. Dear, you can't escape." Lu Xi said. Then, before Sexiliu blushing and stomping her feet to complain, he added: "However, how should I deal with the surrendered ambush? Do you have any suggestions? I'm asking you for your suggestions, Sexiliu."
"I don't know." The lady from the student union president said calmly.
"... Such a honest attitude is indeed very Sexirius."
"I really don't know, because it really depends on your calculations. What I see and hear tell me is the greatest original sin in this country, the stinking blood-sucking sycamore. However, the education I have received, the friends I have come into contact with, the mentors and relatives I respect, have not had the habit of massacre of enemies who have put down their weapons. Lu Xi, neither do you."
Lu Xi nodded: "Continue."
"However, reason told me that if these tens of thousands more surrendered soldiers including a large number of nobles stayed in the rear, our march would not be so rapid."
"This problem is actually quite easy to solve." Lu Xi said with a smile.
"...Well, I shouldn't doubt your wisdom."
"Your lip shape is clearly saying 'shameless'."
"You obviously can't see it, please stop fooling me!"
After laughing and making a fuss, Sexiliu hesitated for a moment, but said, "But, Lu Xi, I have never told us what kind of country you want the Federation to become."
"To completely eliminate all the nobles of the clans... Oh, this is of course impossible. I am not the kind of bloody saint who can use great compassion but use thunder means. I don't think that under the current social conditions, I can really sweep the clans into the garbage dump. If they really want to destroy them, who will the Rotary Club sell their products in the future?"
"Ah, just for this?"
"What is it? This is very, very important! In short, the family names of the nobles can be retained, part of the property can be retained, and even official positions with a positive attitude can be retained. However, if private soldiers are to be disbanded, the local tax system must be abolished, slaves must be liberated, civilians' right to education and basic income must be guaranteed, and civilians' basic right to life and political rights must be guaranteed. In addition, in addition to the nerds who can occupy a high position, they must get out of here, and the bureaucratic system must undergo large-scale reforms."
"This, even when Master Russell was still here, I dare not say that I could do so many things. It's great. I was born to be a civilian myself and knew very well how much hope it would bring to ordinary people once these fair policies were implemented! Thank you really, Lu Xi!" Sexiliu probably thought of the future of the country after such reforms. She seemed to have a layer of hazy pus light in her eyes, and she no longer concealed her respect and obsession for the man in front of her.
"Well, in this way, a considerable scale of urban and self-cultivated farmers will inevitably be born, and they all have certain consumption capacity. Only then can our market capacity be guaranteed at the minimum."
Sexiliu was happy: "...Ha, Lu Xi, are you shy?"
"I mean it's true that we are just performing what a capitalist should do?"
"Haha, just think that's it. Well, according to your words, this is arrogant, right?"
"You are the arrogant ones, right? I have said that this is the operation of a real evil man!"
If there was no such scene below, such a non-nutritional conversation would probably last for a long time. Fortunately, Lieutenant Colonel Kemir turned back at this time, and knelt down on one knee with a "thump" sound and knocked on his breastplate: "Your Excellency, I am lucky to be unfair to your fate. It's just..."
But you have made such a great contribution and not only seem unhappy, but also your voice is a little trembling, as if you have encountered something very terrifying.
"Ah..." Sehiliu also let out a low scream.
"What's wrong?"
"They surrendered, but... they just came out with the head of Lieutenant General Drake Orentian." Sexiliu suppressed her complex emotions and said in a low voice.
Chapter completed!
