Chapter 1748: 1749Forgot the anger
Chapter 17481749Forgot the anger
"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 any more." The leader of the dwarves Represents the sincere pursuit of victory and peace.
Ying'an thought about it and realized that there was really no need to press too **** this matter, so he stretched out **** and made a little concession: "Then I'll give you another two hours of grace! My patience is Limited, don’t live up to my concessions.”
Hearing that the ceasefire had been extended by two hours, the three dwarf representatives breathed a sigh of relief: they had just over three hours left, but now that they had gained grace, the time had been extended back to about five hours.
Now, they could finally calm down their nervousness and wait honestly 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 the fight continues, it is very likely that the army will be defeated.
If they had been fighting with high intensity, maybe the situation would be better than now, but the truce in the previous few hours had already given them hope of survival.
Soldiers who saw hope of survival in a desperate situation and had a choice were unlikely to continue fighting desperately. Therefore, Larbu, the dwarf chief of staff, did not want the war to restart.
Marshal Balov also meant the same thing: his troops were actually very tired. 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 either. They counted their supplies and redistributed the ammunition scientifically. After completing these tasks, Marshal Balov himself could not believe that his troops could still continue to fight in such a state.
"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 saying this to the silent Binghan Yi. 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 citizen status." The prime minister felt that this condition was very good. At least in part, the dwarves were treated fairly. .
As long as they are not too discriminatory and can ensure that the dwarves can continue to live peacefully in the Tang Empire, then at least this race can continue to exist. 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 is bygones in order to appease people's hearts, it proves that the other party really only wants to punish **** and eliminate evil. It is natural for relatively innocent people to do so. There is no need to worry about being implicated. Binghan I didn't speak, because his eyes were always staring at the identity of the "Marquis" in the message that made him crazy. He was an emperor, how could he become a marquis after surrender?
Isn't it customary for him to be at least a duke? But why is there only one title of marquis in the end? Isn't this a bit too much?
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 held 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: although he was trapped in a tight siege, he really couldn't escape in disguise and there was no way to save his own life. He disguised himself all the way and fled to the elves. How could he be a duke?
But he couldn't make up his mind, because he didn't dare to risk his life... He also 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 running south? Or is there a way out for him if he continues to run south? Thinking about it again...can I really escape from Ironforge? If he died on the road, wouldn't he be worthy of becoming a marquis?
In this kind of thinking, he even forgot about his anger. While a group of subordinates were discussing 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 hurriedly walked 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 negotiating unilaterally 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 relations, 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 recruited through this offline development method is generally not particularly high, so the intelligence they obtain is generally relatively lagging behind. To put it bluntly, if these people all know, then this matter must have started a long time ago!
"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.
