It’s too late! It’s a pity that it’s too late!”

On the rebel defense line, from the early morning of that day, beacon smoke was lit in almost every city, and black smoke rose into the sky, which looked so eye-catching in the daytime. Within a day, the guards on the walls of the Holy Capital were

Already seen it.

In the evening, Luman led a group of civil and military ministers up to the city wall. Although he had a confident expression on his face, he was surprised in his heart by the combat effectiveness and attack momentum of the Keda family's army. Not only Luman was surprised, but also Luman

All the ministers under his command, including the new prime minister, were surprised - the combat effectiveness of this army completely exceeded everyone's expectations.

The attack momentum is too fierce!

Judging from the information transmitted by Langyan, Luman's carefully constructed defense circle was attacked from two sides. Most cities in the outer defense circle have been attacked, and many strongholds have been destroyed... But where did the Keda family come from with so many troops? If they want to

If we attack such a large attack area at the same time, we will need an elite army of at least 300,000 people!

Luman's "generals" were standing aside, discussing something in low voices. Luman glanced at this group of "waste" and suppressed his anger.

"Your Majesty, don't worry." The young prime minister saw Luman's reaction and came over to comfort him softly: "Although the offensive of the Keda family is a bit fierce, this situation is within our expectation!

"

"That's right." Luman rubbed his hands unconsciously and glanced at the continuous black smoke on the horizon: "Those cities in the outer defense circle are originally used for consumption."

"Yes, Your Majesty, the more intense the Al Qaeda family's current offensive is, the greater their consumption and casualties will be, and our counterattack will go smoothly." The Prime Minister smiled faintly: "At that time, it will be difficult for them to stand up.

Already."

Luman nodded and asked softly: "Are our counterattack troops ready?"

"One hundred thousand cavalry near the Holy Capital are ready, waiting for the time to come." The Prime Minister came closer and said, "The troops of the Keda family will have to stop when they reach the Conson Province, and they will be blocked under the Conson City.

Your Majesty, I assure you that the troops of the Al Qaeda family will never be able to see the walls of the Holy Capital."

"Don't say that!" A cruel smile appeared on Luman's face: "We still need to give this army a stage so that they can exit this era beautifully."

"That's difficult. You also said that the Keda family's army is good at defense. If this army wants to reach Conson City, it will have to fight at least thirty battles." The prime minister is very good at making people happy. At least now he makes Luman very happy.

Happy: "After thirty consecutive battles, how many of them are left? We also arranged so many small groups of troops to sneak attack behind enemy lines. They are really in trouble this time."

"It's so much better to have you by my side to help." Lu Man nodded happily to the prime minister and called to his subordinates loudly: "Go back to the palace, we have to have a meeting."

That night, Luman and his generals made a counterattack plan. When the attack of the Al Qaeda family army slowed down, the 100,000 cavalry gathered around the Holy City divided into two groups to attack the enemy's rear. At the same time, some infantrymen assisted in the frontal attack.

Everyone believed that after the massive consumption of the outer defense circle, the advance of the Al Qaeda family army would stop in Conson City, and they were full of confidence in His Majesty Luman's counterattack plan.

After arranging everything, Luman drank a glass of wine in the hall and walked out. He drove the guards around him away and walked alone in the imperial garden. Luman needed some alone time to think carefully. He was thinking about his opponent—

—Cohen Kedar.

The first time he met Cohen, he only saw an ordinary boy in his teens, simple and even a little shy. The second time he met, Cohen seemed like a different person, which surprised him. After that, this person

It brings "surprises" to myself again and again. But I am not worried. Cohen behaves too arrogantly and sharply, and such a person will not live long. Sure enough, Cohen was regarded as the scapegoat in the war between gods and demons.

But he managed to do many impossible things. Not only did he escape death, but he also brought back a huge army. Even though he was forced into a desperate situation where supplies were exhausted, no one starved to death. After much effort, he finally found out.

When Cohen's method was used, he actually felt cold all over. It seemed like it was all a coincidence, and it seemed like it should be the case. This weird feeling made Luhmann feel that he would never be able to grasp the key to the situation. And under the absolute disadvantage, Cohen not only resisted

He withstood the pressure and even slowly grew stronger. Now, Cohen's power is very close to his own...

After thinking about it, Luman came to his second daughter's bedroom. Princess Lisa and her husband, who were dressed in fine clothes, were having dinner and were not prepared for Luman's arrival.

"Father?" Princess Lisa stood up quickly: "Are you okay?"

Luman waved his hand, indicating that the two of them should not be polite, then sat down at the table, lowering his head and thinking about something. Princess Lisa and her husband, her cousin Leka, looked at each other, not understanding what was going on.

Luhmann was thinking about the opponent that frightened him the most. There were so many impossible things, but Cohen Keda had managed to do them all.

"You two have been married for a while, right?" It took a long time before Lu Man spoke.

Princess Lisa replied in a low voice: "Yes, father, we have been married for half a year."

"As a member of the royal family, you have to serve the royal family." Luman raised his eyes and looked at Lieka: "Do you have this awareness?"

Lieka is no longer the reckless young man he once was: "Everything is subject to His Majesty's arrangements."

"That's what I think! The war is coming, and you two can't help me with anything else. But you can go out for a walk and help me stabilize the people's hearts in the provinces behind me." Luman hid his true intention:

"Let's leave tonight."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Of course Leka understood what Luman meant: "I will protect the princess well."

"I have prepared guards and property for you." Luman looked at his daughter with gentle eyes: "When you are not with your father, remember, don't act willfully, and be more careful along the way."

"Father!" Princess Lisa threw herself into Luman's arms with tears in her eyes: "I don't want to leave you..."

"Okay, okay, I'll be fine. Little Keda's family can't do anything to me yet." Luman patted Lisa's shoulder gently: "When the war subsides, you will come back. Father will go there then.

Can I pick you up outside the city?"

"That……"

"Time is running out, hurry up and pack up and set off!" Luman said in a more serious tone: "The team is waiting."

Accompanied by several surrendering generals, Lip, dressed in formal aristocratic clothing, was standing on the city wall, watching his own troops enter the city.

The miserable ambassador finally succeeded, but it came at a price. He was hung up and beaten several times for saying the wrong thing, and was also imprisoned in a dungeon. The most dangerous time was when he was beaten at the head of a knife.

Rescued by one's own people.

But after all, he is a smart man and knows how to learn lessons. After the initial stumbling, his techniques gradually became more proficient.

With gold coins in front of him to open the way, and powerful soldiers to back him up, in the past twenty days, Lip relied on his sharp tongue and the handwritten letters of many surrendered generals to coax, deceive and seize the rebels.

Army 17 cities.

The outer defense circle carefully built by Luman to consume the Al Qaeda family has actually collapsed. The rebels never dreamed that the twenty or so cities that should have caused huge casualties to Cohen Al Qaeda were completely submerged in the "Foreign Minister"

"In the saliva.

After these twenty days of difficult tests, Lip's diplomatic methods have become more tactful. Now he can make stars bloom every time he spits out his mouth, but the other party still believes that he is telling the truth.

But as the army entered the city, although Lip still had a peaceful expression on his face, the general standing beside him became more and more frightened.

The troops entering the city were in good order, with high morale, sufficient logistics supplies, and complete siege equipment... Any reasonable person could see that such an army could not be stopped. And his surrender only saved one life.

I can't really say that I have any merit.

Although the foreign minister standing beside him did not say a word, the surrendering general understood that if one more soldier in the opponent's army entered the city, his advantage would be weakened, and his desire to fight for preferential treatment for himself would also fade.

a lot of.

This was also the main purpose of Lip's invitation to watch the troops enter the city. Someone had already told him that threatening others should be more tactful.

Cohen Keda's royal flag finally appeared at the end of the trade road, and a solemn look appeared on Lip's smiling face. He once again checked the several purposes of persuading surrender in his heart... The city defense had already been occupied by the Guards.

The assault infantry regiment took over, and the surrendered rebel troops also surrendered their weapons and camped outside the city. Even the rebel generals accompanying Lip took off their armor and put on their normal clothes to show their surrender. There should be no problem!

"Okay gentlemen, I am honored to announce that everyone's mission has been completed." Lip turned around, smiled and said to the surrendering generals: "Now! Please go down and rest! It should be soon."

There are new appointments issued to you."

"What? Are we not going to meet His Majesty the Emperor?" The top rebel general stationed in the city was stunned: "This is wrong! It would be very rude for us not to be meeting His Majesty the Emperor."

"Generals, I am just a foreign minister. I am not a minister of etiquette. I cannot decide who can meet His Majesty the Emperor without authorization." Lip gave an infinitely sincere smile: "But generals, please rest assured that your invitation requires me to do so."

It will be conveyed to His Majesty the Emperor."

"This is different from what you said before!" The adjutant of the rebel general raised his voice: "You agreed to our request for an audience! As a noble, do you want to go back on your word!"

"I'm sorry, I think your current excitement is not suitable for you to meet His Majesty the Emperor." Lip replied sternly: "His Majesty the Emperor is no better than ordinary people, so how noble is his status? Can I allow you to meet him before you prove your absolute loyalty?

I promised to let you meet His Majesty, and I will never make a mistake, but I did not guarantee that you will be able to meet His Majesty as soon as possible! Don't worry, everyone, when the time comes that I think is appropriate, I will naturally try my best to make arrangements for you gentlemen."

"You are obviously trying to evade..." The adjutant was about to say something, but Lip's guard captain had already stood between him and Lip. The guard captain pressed the handle of the knife with a look of disdain on his face.

"Stop talking." The rebel general felt sad and reached out to hold his adjutant: "Today is different from the past. We are surrendering the army now."

"But……"

"Stop talking." The general sighed and looked at Lip: "Your Excellency, Foreign Secretary, where should we go?"

"His Majesty the Emperor may also want to meet you, so I have arranged accommodation for you in the city. The place is absolutely comfortable." Lip replied with a smile as usual: "Please go and rest first! I will inform you immediately as soon as there is news.

you."

The city defense was handed over, the weapons and equipment were handed over, and the military power was handed over. Several rebel officers had nothing to say. They could only follow the "guards" to their new residences with their heads downcast. From then on, they said goodbye to their troops and never interacted with each other until death.

Waiting for the surrendering generals to get off the city wall, the liaison officer who had been silent turned around and gave a thumbs up to Lip, who also gave a thumbs up to the liaison officer. During this period of trying to persuade the surrender, the liaison officer and the deputy

The foreign minister has become Lip's right-hand man and good friend. Finally, the three people climbed down the city wall with laughter.

"What a life we ​​have lived these past twenty days! But we finally did a good job at the end." The deputy took a long breath: "Every time I entered the city gate, they pointed weapons at me, until the end.

How can they all be groveling and groveling?"

"The completion of this arduous mission is the result of His Majesty the Emperor knowing people and making good use of them." The liaison officer smiled: "Isn't that right? My Minister of Foreign Affairs."

Lip smiled and did not answer. Regarding his own affairs, that was something he could only understand but not express in words. The three of them joked for a while, walked to the city gate and stood there, waiting for Cohen Keda's carriage to enter the city.

After a while, Cohen Keda's carriage stopped in front of the city gate. Rock guarding the side raised his head at Lip with an expressionless expression: "Sir, I want to see you."

"Yes!" Lip straightened his clothes, boarded the huge carriage with sixteen horses in a few steps, stood in front of the door and whispered: "Master, Lip is here to meet you."

Immediately, an elf magician opened the car door and looked at him carefully before letting him in.
