Chapter 609: Negotiations Failed Again

The wood elves' war horses returned in droves. Luo Qingyi issued an order not to mistreat the prisoners. He tied the unarmed wood elves with ropes and then connected them one by one. They were guarded by Xia soldiers. In addition, he collected the wood elves' war horses. Instead of saying that, It is a war horse, rather than a war beast, because it is similar in size to a horse, but it has sharp teeth and can fight. Many Xia soldiers were bitten to death by this war beast.

…

"Jungle War Horse..."

Luo Qingyi's beautiful eyes shone with hope and he said: "The most elite mount of the wood elves, it has long endurance. It is said that it can run continuously for a day and a night without getting tired. It is especially suitable for jungle battles. Hmm... That's great. It's close in total. Thirty thousand jungle war horses were taken into custody by us, hehe, this is all due to your capture of Ning Qi!"

"do not talk!"

On the side, Ning Qi in the prison car glanced at us lightly: "This is the greatest shame and humiliation for me, Ning Qi, in my life!"

I grinned and said, "Princess, how many prisoners are there?"

"There are more than 13,000 people, and the rest have been killed in the battle."

"oh……"

I nodded: "Send them all back to Lu City, or to Xingqi City?"

"Heron City."

Her beautiful eyes were like water: "The war is not over yet. Lucheng has the most powerful garrison of the Xia tribe. It is safe only to bring the prisoners there."

"Well, back to Heron City."

…

At dusk, arrive at Lucheng.

The elf prince Ning Qi was imprisoned again, and then a prisoner-of-war camp was set up. More than 10,000 wood elf cavalry were under guard.

In the city lord's palace, there are many generals standing in the meeting hall.

"Shuai Luo and Princess Qingyi have accomplished extraordinary feats. This battle is enough to reverse the decline in the battle between the Xia clan and the wood elves!" Lin Xingchu looked delighted.

Luo Ning clasped his fists: "It's all thanks to Duke Xingchu's planning, my father and daughter are just executing the strategy."

"No matter what, I will report this great achievement to Her Majesty the Queen truthfully."

Lin Xingchu took a deep breath: "Send an envoy to the east of the city to meet with the Wood Elf Marshal Lord, and make an appointment with him tomorrow morning."

"yes!"

On the side, Duke Tianmu, who was not far away, frowned and said: "Mr. It has to be transported across the Qiyun Mountains, and even soldiers carry it from the south on their shoulders. It is not easy to feed hundreds of thousands of troops. Do we still need to feed these prisoners of war now? "

"right."

Palace Commander Qianbai said: "The innate fighting power of the wood elves is very terrifying. Even if they become prisoners of war, once these more than 10,000 prisoners of war start to riot, how can we resist it? From what I see, I can't do anything tonight." The prisoner of war camp was burned down, and everything was over!"

"no!"

I hurriedly said: "When I persuaded them to surrender, I promised not to kill prisoners of war. What does it mean to go back on my word now?"

Luo Qingyi nodded: "Xingchu Gong Mingjian, Qingyi also agreed not to kill the prisoners of war. Besides, these prisoners of war are a card in our hand. As long as they are still alive, they can control the wood elves. We must not kill them." them."

"do not kill?"

Tianmu Gong Xiyang frowned and said: "More than half of the military rations in the army are shipped from Lingnan. The rations saved by the people of our Xia clan who suffer from hunger are used to feed these people who once killed my Xia clan's people with swords." A murderer of the people, what kind of truth is this? Mr. Xingchu, if you rule like this, it will be hard for people to convince you, right?"

Lin Xingchu's eyes were soft: "Master Xiyang, please be patient. These wood elf prisoners of war are only under temporary supervision. We are not going to keep them forever. Please be aware of this."

"Hmph, how can I tell the truth?" Xiyang said angrily.

Obviously, the two great princes of the empire, Duke Xingchu and Duke Tianmu, were originally the two pillars of the Xia Dynasty. They had always had different political views. Although they were now on the front line together, Xiyang would no longer create some "trouble" for Lin Xingchu. It's a normal thing, but Lin Xingchu is the master of strategy and a famous general, so she is the only commander-in-chief during the war, while Xiyang is the number one person in the empire's political affairs. They are both civil and military, each with their own strengths, and there is nothing anyone can do about it. who.

"Ding Muchen."

Lin Xingchu looked at me and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will arrange these prisoners of war properly and I will never let you down."

"Well, thank you Mr. Xingchu."

I nodded, turned around and walked out of the city lord's hall. I was no longer interested in the overt and covert fights and quarrels between the NPCs here. I was more concerned about the battle beside the city wall.

When I walked out of the city lord's mansion, dragon knight Xia Chuan descended from the sky and said, "Sir, how are you?"

"You guard the prisoner of war camp and don't let anyone harm the prisoners of war. If you have any news, please inform me immediately."

"yes!"

…

Lu City, on the east wall.

I rode my horse onto the city wall, came to Tang Yun and Su Xiran, and said with a smile: "I'm back, the king~~~"

Tang Yun chuckled: "Is it done?"

"Well, it's done!"

I nodded: "In the battle of Fire Phoenix Valley, all 50,000 elite wood elf cavalry were wiped out, and more than 10,000 people were captured. They are all now imprisoned in the prisoner-of-war camp in Lucheng."

Ai Xiaoye was stunned and said in a deep voice: "Boss, why don't you go into the prisoner-of-war camp with your sword and kill them all? Now you can at least be promoted to a full rank, plus you will be the first in this event." award!"

I was shocked: "Damn, why didn't I think of that, you little clever guy!"

"Hahahaha~~~"

Rose Knight laughed so hard that her branches trembled, and said: "Boss, don't listen to Ai Xiaoye's nonsense. He is a single-celled creature. He only knows how to kill, kill, and eat."

"Well, how are things here?" I asked.

Su Xiran said: "The wood elves have attacked twice, but they were repulsed. Our problem now is that the heavy artillery firepower on the city wall can no longer support it. Once the shells are used up, the city will be destroyed within ten minutes. Dead."

"It's almost time to use up."

I frowned: "In the Fire Phoenix Valley alone, at least close to 100,000 shells were poured out."

"One hundred thousand shots in three hours..."

Su Xiran pouted her little mouth and calculated, then suddenly blushed.

I couldn't help it, turned around and looked outside the city, and said, "We will negotiate with the wood elves at dawn tomorrow morning. I don't know what the result will be this time."

…

He just waited until the next morning.

After the clouds dissipated, Lin Xingchu, Xiyang, Luo Ning, Luo Qingyi and other senior officials of the Xia clan stood on the city wall. In the distance, a troop of wood elves also came over. The coach Luo De was wearing silver armor and holding a long sword. , came with more than a dozen wood elf warriors, their eyes were cold and their faces were quite ugly. The result of the battle in Fire Phoenix Valley should have been known.

"Marshal Lin Xingchu!"

Lord's eyes were filled with anger and he said, "You are so cruel!"

Lin Xingchu straightened his peak, his graceful figure showing a proud attitude, and said calmly: "When your wood elf army occupied the eastern county of the Xia tribe, you ordered a massacre of the city. Tens of thousands of people were massacred in one massacre. Compared with you, the Xia tribe can only It’s quite merciful, at least we still keep the prisoners alive, but you have no humanity at all.”

Lord sneered: "The Xia tribe occupies the eastern forest sea and occupies the hometown of our wood elves but is unwilling to leave. I have no choice but to order the massacre of the city."

"enough!"

Lin Xingchu's beautiful eyes showed endless anger and said: "Let's get down to business. Now His Highness Ning Qi and more than 10,000 wood elf war riders are in the hands of our Xia Clan army. Marshal Luo De may as well calm down. Think about your next steps.”

"Don't think about it."

Lord's eyes were cold: "Please Marshal release His Highness and all the prisoners of war immediately. I will naturally lead the wood elf army to leave Heron City, return the three eastern counties and cities, and lead the army into the Eastern Forest Sea. From now on, I will have no offense with the Xia Clan Qiu."

"no!"

Lin Xingchu gritted his silver teeth and said: "You must not only withdraw from the three counties, but also withdraw from Dongfang Linhai, retreat outside Dongling Pass, and return the east of Dongling Pass to the Xia clan defenders."

"Hand over Dongling Pass?"

Luo De sneered: "Lin Xingchu, are you talking nonsense? Once Dongling Pass is handed over, the hinterland of our Wood Elf clan will be directly exposed to the Xia clan's soldiers. Isn't it true that we can attack whenever we want?" Going east?"

"You are the defeated party, so naturally you have to accept the conditions."

"The loser? Hahahahaha~~~"

Lord laughed wildly, his handsome face became a little distorted, and said: "In this case, there is no need to negotiate, let's continue fighting. I, Lord, conquered the Eastern Forest Sea under the order of His Majesty the Elf King, and I have the right to decide anything. I am also ready to accept any price. I will turn this mere Lucheng into powder!"

With that said, Lord pulled the reins and led everyone away.

…

"Peng!"

Lin Xingchu struck down a brick of the battlement city with an angry palm, shattering the brick into pieces, and said: "If I hadn't agreed to Ding Muchen, I would have ordered more than 10,000 heads of wood elf prisoners of war to be hung on the city wall!"

"How boring to hang it on the city wall."

Lie Kongshui grinned: "Wouldn't it be more perfect to pack a catapult and project it into the wood elves' battle formation?"

"..."

Lin Xingchu glanced back at him.

Lie Kongshui was startled: "Did my subordinate say something wrong..."

"..."

…

"Talk broke down again!"

I also punched the battlement, but only a ray of dragon energy was stirred up, and there was not even a crack in the brick. I said: "After all, I still have to do it, the wood elf is really determined not to give up until the end of the world!"

Tang Yun looked at the clouds and forests in the distance with her beautiful eyes, and said: "Brother Xi, I feel that the Marshal of the Wood Elf is so desperate that he must have been pushed to the end of his rope, otherwise he wouldn't have done this... …”

"It makes sense...Yun'er, you are so smart!"

I turned around and left.

"Hey, where are you going?"

"I'm going to meet that elf prince who is more handsome than me!"

…

Cell.

The elf prince Ning Qi was tied up tightly, and was guarded by more than a dozen generals. In addition, there were two dragon knights and dragons guarding the side. He was a key figure in this war, so he was heavily guarded.

"grown ups!"

A group of NPC generals saluted.

"Um."

I stepped into the cell and said, "I'll have a chat with His Highness Ning Qi. You go out and stay outside."

"yes!"

Everyone retreated, I turned around and closed the door, then sat on the stone bench directly opposite Ning Qi, placed the Big Dipper Sword sideways, and said, "Your Highness, are you interested in chatting?"

"No."

He glanced at me: "You are just a dirty and despicable executioner."

"That's right."

I also looked at him: "But it was this dirty and despicable executioner who saved your life and the lives of more than 10,000 of your people. If I hadn't persuaded you, you would have been beheaded in the afternoon."

"..."

Ning Qi gritted his teeth and was silent for a long time. Finally, he said: "Dragon Rider Ding Muchen, what do you want to talk to me about?"
