"I would like to remind you that there is not much time left for the ceasefire..." Ying'an said impatiently, then stood up and walked towards the door.
In fact, he also understood very well that several representatives really could not make the decision on such a matter. They had to contact Binghan I and wait for the other party's nod before they dared to sign the surrender letter.
"We need time... General, as you can see, we are here with sincerity and are not delaying time... Please give us some time and don't let the dwarves bleed more blood."
The dwarves represent the sincere desire to win Andao.
Ying'an thought about it and realized that there was really no need to press too hard on this matter, so he stretched out two fingers and made a little concession: "Then I'll give you another two hours of grace! My patience is
It’s limited, don’t live up to my concessions.”
Hearing that the ceasefire had been extended by 2 hours, the three dwarf representatives breathed a sigh of relief: they had just over three hours left, but now they have obtained a grace period, and the time has been extended back to about 5 hours.
Now, they could finally calm down their nervousness and wait for Binghan I's reply.
…
"The ceasefire has been extended for another 2 hours..." Larbu breathed a sigh of relief. The current defenders in Ironforge are basically on the verge of collapse. If they continue to fight, they are likely to be defeated.
fall.
If they had been fighting with high intensity, maybe the situation would be better than it is now, but the truce in the past few hours has given them hope of survival.
Soldiers who see hope of survival in a desperate situation and have a choice are unlikely to continue fighting to the death. Therefore, Larbu, the dwarf chief of staff, does not want the war to restart.
Marshal Balov also meant the same thing: his troops were actually very exhausted. Whether it was the remnants of the 3rd Army or the 13th Army, they could no longer fight.
During the short truce period, the dwarves were not idle. They counted their supplies and redistributed the ammunition scientifically. After completing these tasks, Marshal Balov himself could not believe it.
In this state, his troops can still continue to fight.
"Yes, in the current situation, we may be defeated at any time." Marshal Balov stood on the other side of the telegraph machine and said this. Everyone knew that he was talking to the silent Binghan I.
Listen.
"At least this time it is not an unconditional surrender. They have guaranteed His Majesty's safety. In addition, the other party also promised to give the dwarves equal citizenship status." The prime minister felt that this condition was very good. At least in part, the dwarves were treated fairly.
.
As long as it is not too discriminatory and the dwarves can continue to live a peaceful life in the Tang Empire, then at least this race can continue. For many dwarf leaders, this is definitely good news.
Moreover, the Tang Empire did not mean to avoid it, and also emphasized that the Tang Empire must punish those old dwarf nobles, old warlords, and old bureaucrats whose hands are soaked in blood.
But the high-ranking dwarves who have not committed numerous crimes are relieved because of this: since the other party did not lie and deceived the dwarves into saying that bygones are bygones in order to appease people's hearts, it proves that the other party really only wants to punish rape and eradicate evil. Relatively speaking, relatively innocent people naturally
You don't have to worry about being implicated.
Binghan I did not speak, because his eyes were always staring at the "marquis" identity in the message that made him crazy. He was an emperor, how could he become a marquis after surrendering?
Isn't it customary that he is at least a duke? But why does he only have the title of marquis in the end? Isn't this a bit too deceptive?
He didn't explode, he just sat there with random thoughts in his mind. He was unwilling to accept such humiliation. In his opinion, if he pinched his nose and accepted these terms, he might as well continue to resist to the end.
In his opinion, surrendering to humans is worse than surrendering to elves: even though he was trapped in a tight siege, he really couldn't escape in disguise and save his own life. He disguised himself all the way and fled to the elves. How could he get away with it? Duke, right?
But he couldn't make up his mind, because he didn't dare to risk his life... and he didn't dare to bet that the elves could really withstand the attack of the Tang Empire.
If the elf also loses, can he continue to run south? Or is there a way out for him if he continues to run south? Thinking about it again... Can he really escape from Ironforge? What if he dies in
On the road, wouldn't it mean that he is not even worthy of being a marquis?
In this kind of thinking, he even forgot about his anger. As a group of subordinates discussed other terms, he just remained silent and said nothing.
…
Lanes City.
Somi, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Lions Empire, glanced at Paul, the Dornish ambassador to the Lions Empire, who hurried into his office, and handed a message to the other party: "I came to you because of an emergency. We just received it.
According to intelligence, the dwarves are unilaterally negotiating with the Tang Empire."
"Is the news accurate?" Paul, who rushed over after getting the news, asked in shock when he heard the news.
"Coming from Ironforge, it's very accurate. They seem to have turned off electromagnetic interference to facilitate communication, so our people sent this highest-level encrypted telegram." Suomi assured with worry.
"We have notified the Yangmu Empire... the situation is deteriorating rapidly..." Suomi said.
The level of spies planted by their intelligence department among the dwarves will definitely not be too high. Because of race, humans can only rely on bribery to recruit local people to do intelligence work for themselves on the elves and dwarves. Naturally, the efficiency is very low.
Even the intelligence department of the Tang Empire could not avoid this.
The level of intelligence personnel attracted by this method of developing offline is generally not particularly high, so the intelligence they obtain is generally relatively lagging. To put it bluntly, if these people all know about it, then this matter must have started.
It’s been a long time!
"It's true... The Empire of Admiration will soon become the front line. I hope they can hold on." Dorne's ambassador Paul put down the message in his hand and said with a sad face: "If they lose again, the coalition will..."
He was embarrassed to finish his words, but Suomi knew what he meant: if the elves failed again and were eliminated, the remaining countries would just be struggling to their death.
