Chapter four hundred and ninety second delay
The information was sent from the main city, which means that the lizard men in the south seemed to have abnormal movements, and it felt like they were going to invade them. Now there are only less than 20,000 defending troops left in the main city. It is almost impossible to resist the invasion of the lizard men. Whether they can defend the main city is a problem.
The Lizardman is coming to attack now. It is impossible for you to say that there is no one behind the scenes to push them. Ye Junwen also knows that it is probably the Massodra Empire or the Segus Empire who instigated them behind their backs, but what can they do if they see through it? The one who changes the control needs to be managed. Now the Third and Fourth Legion are fighting against the Massodra Empire's troops in the northeast direction, so it is definitely impossible to retreat, so the one who can retreat is their troops. It is obvious that the other party is forcing them to retreat.
"Master Marshal, the main city cannot be lost." Edron said immediately, "If the lizardmen capture the main city, the main city will be really dangerous. Those beasts can really eat people."
The main city cannot be lost. After all, their new dynasty has only been established for such a little time. If the main city is lost so easily, the people's confidence in the new dynasty will decline sharply. Even if the main city is brought back, the people's hearts will not be so easy to recover. Besides, if the Lizardman really kills the Queen Bevli and then kills the ministers, where will Ye Junwen find a new emperor or something to take office? Who will take those ministers?
Ye Junwen really didn't want such a thing to happen, but now he has already reached the city of the main city of the Segus Empire, and it's a pity to retreat now.
Ye Junwen thought for a moment and decided to... negotiate with the Segus Empire. Ye Junwen found an envoy and asked him to enter Northendorm City and asked the people from the Segus Empire to send people to negotiate with him. The other party thought about it and sent someone out, a foreign minister named Notand, followed Ye Junwen's envoy and came to Ye Junwen's military camp.
"Foreign minister Nottender, please pay homage to you." Nottender here is a person with some courage. Faced with such a stubborn and said with neither humility nor arrogant attitude towards the surroundings.
"Your country had previously said that you would negotiate peace and the war has ended now, and you are almost done." Ye Junwen didn't say nonsense and said directly, "If you agree to hand over the Mesotoron area and the main city of Northendorm, we can reach an agreement to retreat."
After Ye Junwen finished speaking, the other party frowned. There were too many requests. Not only the Mesotoron area, but also the main city of Northendorm. What is the difference between this and the destruction of the country? The main city was lost. If the other party stationed troops in Northendorm, they would not always receive threats from the Saint Wilan Empire.
"This is impossible." Notand here answered directly without thinking. The emperor would definitely not agree without going back to ask. "First of all, we cannot hand over the Mesotoron area, and the main city of Northendorm is even more impossible."
"Even if the country is destroyed?" Ye Junwen asked.
"Even so, it's impossible," said Nottand.
"Okay, I understand." Ye Junwen nodded, "I'm just giving you an ultimatum this time. Since I refuse, I will start attacking."
After Ye Junwen said that, he also greeted Edron next to him. Edron here was ready and gave an order to the soldiers next to him. Soon, he heard the sound of "dongdongdongdong" cannons. Yes Ye Junwen and the others had already started attacking directly.
Ten 155mm cannons, plus the previous small cannons, the formation was really amazing. Nortand here didn't understand what was going on, and he heard a few loud noises here. Then he saw a row of firelight flashing on the city wall in the distance, and then sand and stones flew around. At such a long distance, Nortand could imagine how much damage there was. It seemed that their city wall could not hold on for long.
"What... what is this?" Nottand asked in a shocked and a little out of control.
"The new siege weapon is very useful." Ye Junwen said, "How about it, is the range very long and the power is also very good."
Nottend was frightened. This weapon was indeed too powerful. The attack was far from the distance that people in the city could not counterattack. This power was indeed too scary. This was simply a perfect siege weapon. If the opponent had such a magic weapon, their main city would not be able to defend for too long.
"You... don't need to scare me." Although Nortand was very panicked, he still said calmly, "I know what you mean. I want to force us to give up the main city, right? Actually, I know that there should be a problem in your country, right?"
"Oh, do you know this?" Ye Junwen asked.
"Yes, I know." Notand nodded. Of course, this was told by the Massodra Empire. The Massodra Empire was also afraid that they would surrender directly, so he quickly told them what happened here to stabilize the people of the Segus Empire and told them not to surrender. The troops of the Saint Wilan Empire will be forced to retreat soon.
"So you think we will withdraw our troops?" Ye Junwen asked.
"That's natural." said Notand here, "I was not sure at first, but if you invite me here this time, I've already confirmed this matter. Otherwise, how could you negotiate with us? You want to withdraw your troops, but you don't want to give up the land you have obtained now. It's useless. We will not accept any of your conditions. If you have the ability, you don't want to withdraw your troops."
"Haha, it's so interesting." Ye Junwen nodded, "So that's it. I said before. This is the ultimatum. You should have heard it just now."
"Yes, so what?" Nortander felt that he had an advantage and his attitude became arrogant.
"Since you don't want to, I can only beat you to death." Ye Junwen said, "Our main city is right, if you are surrounded, you will be surrounded. Anyway, the emperor is also the emperor I helped up. If she is not alive, she will continue to be the emperor. If she is not alive, there is nothing to do. I will find a baby royal family in your Segus Empire and let him become the new emperor of the United Kingdom of both countries. As for your Segus Empire, let the country be destroyed."
"You..." Notander was stunned. Although they knew some of the current situation of the Saint Wilan Empire and also knew about Ye Junwen's support for the emperor, they really didn't expect Ye Junwen to say so bluntly.
"You go back and notify your emperor and start siege in half an hour." Ye Junwen waved his hand and said.
Nortend didn't know whether what Ye Junwen said was true or false, so he couldn't make a decision here, so he had to go back. Soon, Nortend returned to the city and told the situation to the emperor and ministers. Most people's judgment was the same as Nortend. The other party wanted to retreat, so he was cheating them and wanted them to hand over the main city, which of course could not be agreed.
"But the enemy's siege weapons are really powerful, and we may really not be able to defend them." said a minister here.
"Defend!" the emperor here shouted, "Let the soldiers do their best to defend, the other party will definitely retreat. As long as we keep it for a few days, the other party will definitely not be able to hold on. Now the Lizardman army has invaded the other party's territory, and they must be more anxious than us."
The people of the Segus Empire obviously didn't want to give up and decided to stick to it, and Ye Junwen really didn't want to retreat at this time. Seeing this situation, Edron here was very anxious: "Master Marshal, are we really not going back to the main city? What should we do with the Lizardman army?"
"I will find a way to deal with it." Ye Junwen said, "No need to worry about the situation there for the time being."
Although Ye Junwen said that, Edron was still a little anxious. However, he was still quite obedient to Ye Junwen's orders. Ye Junwen had not told the other people about the lizard man's invasion, and only a few generals knew about it. Naturally, the soldiers below did not know about these things, otherwise these soldiers would probably have no intention of fighting.
On the one hand, Ye Junwen ordered the attack on the city, and on the other hand, Ye Junwen also found Slater.
"You have dealt with the Lizardman before." Ye Junwen asked.
"Yes." Sreite said first. Yes, the Lizardman came to help when the eldest prince rebelled. At that time, it was Sreite, who was a pseudonym Reed, who mediated in the middle, which made the two sides colluded, so naturally they had dealt with each other.
"Is there any way to get them to retreat?" Ye Junwen asked.
"This...the hope is not very big." Slater thought for a while and said, "The Lizardmen have a purpose, and they don't do anything that is not good. This time they come to grab resources on one hand, and to avenge on the other hand, so it is unlikely that they will retreat like this."
"Our infiltration in Kanzira, the Lizardman Empire, is not very high. They are very opposed to outsiders, and it is difficult to persuade them to believe in our Lord, so we have no influence at the top." Sret continued, "I really have no way to do this."
"What about the troops that hinder their forces?" Ye Junwen said, "By attacking their generals, setting traps, etc., hindering their troops' actions, and delaying a little more time, this can always be done."
"This is what we are good at." Slayte nodded, "but in this way, we will be more likely to be exposed. Another point is the relationship between me and you. Before, I just gave you information secretly, but now if you help you attack the Lizardman troops, our relationship will be more obvious. Will the others in the organization... be alert? Didn't your previous target annexation organization?"
