In the military camp, Sal hurried to Wood and reported quickly:
"Commander, Gangze is preparing to withdraw his troops!"
Wood said with a smile:
"They are about to escape. Send an order to the army to make way. We will watch them escape."
"yes!"
Late that night, Gangze's royal regiment stationed in Tucheng escaped under the cover of night, and Wood's regiment watched them escape. Wood did not order a pursuit. When Gangze's regiment fled far away, Wood ordered the regiment to attack Tucheng. If
If you meet the Ice and Snow Empire Legion and resist, you will be killed without mercy!
When the order was given, the legion began to attack Tucheng. Wood took out the communication crystal and ordered the northern battlefield to stop the pursuit and attack the Gangze Royal Legion in reverse.
Wood's army captured control of Tucheng that day, and the regiments on the northern battlefield also blocked the Royal Legion of Gangze. In this encounter in the wild, the commander of the Royal Legion of Gangze died in battle, and Dick led the remaining troops to escape.
The Gangze Royal Legion has been crippled.
According to post-war statistics, 500,000 people were captured in Gangze. At this time, all the legions in Gangze were basically in the hands of Wood, and Dick led the remaining legions to hold on to the Windy City. This was also the result that Wood hoped for.
For the Magic Empire, Windy City is the door to the Magic Empire. Once it is opened, it is difficult to close it again. Therefore, after Wood stabilized the city, he led his army to prepare to attack Windy City. However, at this time, the Empire issued an order to withdraw troops, because Gangze
The peace mission is in Galen City.
As soon as Wood heard the news, he hurriedly led a large group of troops back to Galen City. When he entered the city, Wood was greeted with fierce cheers and warm welcome by the civilians. Apparently, Wood was used to this in his mind.
When Wood led the crowd to the Military and Government Hall of the Royal Palace, there were only a few people in the entire hall, and the Gangze envoy was not seen. Wood's expression was very different.
Palu said helplessly:
"I asked you to come back and ask you to gather the number of people. The number of people in Gangze's envoy is greater than the number of people in our internal affairs hall. You see what will happen to this matter!"
Wood bowed respectfully and said:
"Your Majesty, there is no rush for officials to take up their posts. Where is the Gangze envoy now? What are the conditions for them to seek peace?"
Pallu smiled and said:
"Gangze is willing to return all prisoners taken during the war and is willing to pay a compensation of 1.5 billion gold coins, and we must return his prisoners."
Wood then asked:
"What about Windy City?"
Palu shook his head and said:
"Gangze does not agree to return Fengcheng."
Wood heard the helplessness in Palu's tone, and then said solemnly:
"Your Majesty, please give me this task, and I will definitely complete it successfully."
Then Wood led the team to leave the Military Government Hall, but every time they went far, Sir Ma led a group of people to chase them out. Sir Ma said:
"His Majesty said, let us help you gain some popularity."
Wood smiled and said nothing, and everyone walked all the way to the mansion. When the guards of the mansion invited the Gangze envoys to come out, Wood finally understood what Palu meant. There were hundreds of people coming to Nima Gangze.
Are you here to start a group fight or to negotiate?
The two parties sat in front of a long table. Wood was sitting and the others were standing behind Wood. The person sitting at the main seat was a middle-aged man. Sir Ma explained the identity of this man. He was Gangze.
Cabinet members are mainly responsible for matters such as internal affairs and financial expenditure.
Wood got straight to the point:
"I don't agree with your peace proposal!"
Gangzeren smiled, as if he had known it for a long time, and said casually:
"Your Magic Empire has taken back Tucheng, but don't forget that Windy City is still in our hands. Now you only have two options, agree to negotiate peace, or not agree to negotiate peace."
Wood said with a serious face:
"I've made my point clear, I don't agree!"
Gangze people also smiled and said:
"You don't understand what I mean. We in Gangze can only do this. Although you are indeed better than Gangze in terms of military strength now, if we destroy Fengcheng and withdraw to Gangze, we will not suffer any losses at all. You
Say yes!”
This was a naked threat. Wood wanted to force Gangze to withdraw from Fengcheng, but Gangze was unwilling to retreat. If Wood dared to use force to attack, Gangze would not be able to defend Fengcheng, but he wouldn't be able to defend it.
I will give it back to the Magic Empire in vain.
Everyone present was angry. They looked at the Gangze envoy angrily. Wood was also very angry, but he had to calm down. The most important thing in negotiations was momentum. He had already stated his position, and now Gangze has also stated his position.
If you back down at this time, the entire negotiation process will be inferior. Obviously everyone present knows this problem.
Wood said slowly:
"The Magic Empire's current legion strength has reached 800,000, and most of all the legions in Gangze have become prisoners in the Magic Empire. If you insist on destroying Wind City, then I will have to lead troops north to massacre all your cities in Gangze until they are destroyed.
I'll kill you Gangze!"
Wood's words were extremely grand, but Gunze also knew who Wood was, but those who came to negotiate were not afraid of Wood. As soon as Wood finished speaking, a man appeared behind Gunze and said:
"You are the only one who wants to kill Gangze, and you deserve it!"
A person behind Wood pointed at the other person and said:
"What qualifications do you have to speak! Shut up!"
The two parties quarreled instantly, and then Wood couldn't bear it any longer. He remembered a saying in China, "When a scholar meets a soldier, it's hard to explain why."
Thinking of this, Wood decided to use violence to solve the matter. Then Wood stood up and slapped the table and said:
"Okay, since everyone won't give in, there is nothing to talk about. Everyone listens to the order and arrests the Gangze envoy. We will work with the army to throw them back to the Windy City. I want them to watch us take them.
Return to Windy City!”
As soon as Wood finished speaking, everyone behind him rushed forward. When Gangze saw that Wood and others did not follow the rules, they were also angry and started yelling. Although these people had good qualities in their hearts, few of them were practitioners.
Under the violence of several people, Messenger Gangze was stunned and frightened.
Wood did what he said, and he began to count the troops that day, and he actually counted 600,000 people in one day. These six legions set off toward the Windy City in a mighty manner, but then he received an order from Palu to withdraw.
But at this time, there were still Wood and other masters there, and Rufu, who was commanding the army, didn't care what orders Palu gave, he still insisted on marching towards the Windy City.
Why did Palu have to issue a withdrawal order? Because Gangze knew that the negotiations had broken down, and Wood was counting the army. Gangze knew that Fengcheng could not hold on. Emperor Gangze specially gave Palu a letter of credence, which clearly stated that,
If the army does not stop attacking, Gangze will order the massacre of the people in Fengcheng, including destroying all the buildings in Fengcheng.
This made Palu panic. Knowing that Wood's will to attack had been determined, the withdrawal order issued by Palu was not seen by Wood at all. This was also the reason why Wood deliberately hid, and Wood was leading high-level practitioners at this time.
The army of practitioners is lurking near Windy City. Now these high-level practitioners have reached 8,000. This is not a small number!
In fact, Wood's purpose is very clear, which is to scare Gunze. If Gunze is bluffed, Wood will not use a trump card. If Gunze insists on his own ideas, Wood will also implement his own ideas. When the time comes,
With 8,000 people, it is difficult for Gangze to withstand such great pressure.
The Magic Empire army still wanted to advance to Windy City, and every retreat order from Palu was blocked. However, Rufu always conveyed Gangze's intention to Wood as soon as possible, and Wood was also calculating what Gangze would do.
what to do.
But in Windy City, Dick looked nervously at the secret message in his hand. Could he really let himself destroy Windy City? This was millions of lives. Could he really destroy it?
The next day, Palu's messenger sent a message, and Rufu hurriedly told Wood:
"Gang Ze has compromised and they agreed to modify the terms!"
At this time, everyone breathed a sigh of relief! But Wood did not order the withdrawal. He ordered the legion to stay in place, and ordered Rufu to negotiate with the Gunze mission. Wood roughly knew the content of the negotiation, and finally, after both parties insisted,
, Gang Ze compromised the final agreement.
The Magic Empire is willing to exchange all the captives for the ownership of Gangze Wind City, and is willing to spend 500 million gold coins to buy back all the prisoners of the Magic Empire. The agreement was signed in the Windy City. The representative of the Magic Empire is Wood, and the representative of Gangze is Dick!
