Chapter 170 Response

"Breaking news! Breaking news!"

"The Sayue Federation suddenly invaded the Empire the day before yesterday. In the face of danger, Commander Sauron led his army to fight against them, severely defeated the enemy in the Roland area, and wiped out the invaders.

"Great victory! Great victory!"

A boy wearing a black newsboy cap and an old coat ran all the way on the street, shouting all the way, waving the newspaper in his hand high to attract the attention of passers-by.

The pedestrians coming and going on the street were shocked by the sudden news and stopped one after another.

Highland City has always had friction with the Sayue Federation, and information about this aspect has attracted much attention.

"Is it true?!"

A businessman showed a look of shock, took out a few coins from his pocket and handed them to the boy selling newspapers.

After taking the newspaper in his hand, the big headline was printed in his eyes.

"The battle in the Roland area completely wiped out the cavalry regiment of the Third Legion of Peter City, and our side only suffered more than a hundred casualties..."

"In addition, this battle also killed the top ten generals of the Sayue Federation, Major General Frank, the commander of the First Legion of Peter City! "

Others listened to the merchant's mumbling, and their curiosity was aroused.

Although the friction between Highland City and Peter City lasted for more than ten years and occurred frequently, there were not many conflicts of this scale, and the results were so great.

"It is said that the key to this victory was Earl Sauron. On the battlefield, Earl Sauron first killed Major General Frank, then killed Major General Boll, and completely defeated the enemy's morale!"

The newspaper boy also knew the psychology of his customers well, and quietly added fuel to the fire.

"Do you want to know why Earl Sauron, who has not even graduated from high school, suddenly started a rampage? "

"Why, why don't you tell me quickly?" The middle-aged man dressed in a blue tuxedo urged.

The newspaper boy smiled mysteriously and continued:

"This has to do with Sauron's father, the previous generation of Earl Soros. It is said that he..."

"What's next? What happened to him? "The businessman read the war process in the newspaper roughly, put it in his arms and was about to leave when he was attracted by the boy's words.

"Tell me quickly, who did you learn this from, why are you so slow!" An old lady next to him complained.

"Yes, tell me quickly!"

The boy laughed, and there was no way he could get it for free. He took out a stack of newspapers from the newspaper basket next to him and said:

"Here is a detailed introduction. If you want to know, buy it quickly. The quantity is limited. First come, first served."

Liu Jin, who was behind the crowd, looked at it and saw that the cover of the newspaper was written in bold and black font:

The high school student Earl's journey of revenge for his father!!!

She pursed her lips, squeezed in and bought a newspaper. She didn't rush to read it, but stopped a carriage on the side of the road, told the driver the destination, and sat down and began to read it carefully.

...

Peter City.

Peter City is a large frontier city of the Sayue Federation and the economic, military and cultural center of several surrounding states.

Looking up.

There are mushroom-like ancient buildings, slightly different in height, Dotted on both sides of a huge canal.

These buildings were inherited thousands of years ago, when Peter City was the capital of the Principality of Kolingtan.

In the east of the canal, there is a tall building with a completely different style in the middle of a large area of ​​black mushroom buildings. The 50-meter-high floor goes straight into the sky. The outer wall is a large piece of glass, black and shiny, giving people a suffocating shock.

At this time, the meeting center on the top floor of the building.

The atmosphere in the meeting room of more than a dozen people is serious and solemn.

Nancy, one of the meeting record secretaries, sat in the corner, staring down at the gray on the table. In a notebook, she recorded the speeches of the committee members and complained.

Two days have passed since the demise of the Third Legion Cavalry Regiment and the deaths of Generals Frank and Boll.

However, the high-level officials of Peter City have not yet reached a consensus on how to deal with this matter.

There are many differences, and in her opinion, there are mainly three factions.

One faction is the pro-war faction, which is mainly composed of the military, and its representative is Lieutenant General Capone, the boss of the Peter City Army.

One faction is the compromise faction, which is mainly composed of the nobles, and its representative is the second consul, Count Philip.

The last faction is the compromise faction, which is mainly composed of the government, and its representative is the first consul, Lord Vitor.

This is the fourth meeting held, but it is also the last one, because Lord Vitor has spoken, and today we must come up with a plan and report it to the presidium.

"Sauron not only invaded our land, but also killed so many of our compatriots and killed Generals Frank and Boll. Philip, you advocate a peaceful solution to this matter with the Crescent Empire. Where is your conscience? Are you worthy of these soldiers and all the citizens of Peter City! "

Lieutenant General Capone, who looked calm and gentle, spoke with a sarcastic tone, which made Count Philip, who was sitting opposite him, grit his teeth secretly and feel angry.

In his opinion, did Capone, who looked tough on the surface, really want to go to war with Highland City?

Not necessarily.

He might be really sad that Boll died in the destruction of the cavalry regiment, because he was his confidant.

But Frank's death was not necessarily the case. Although Frank nominally belonged to Capone's leadership, he actually stood in the camp of another big boss of the Sayues Federal Army.

Although Frank is gone now, his First Army is safe and sound, without any loss, and Capone can openly arrange for his own people to enter the First Army.

He is now in a posture of actively starting a war, probably just for show, so as to take this opportunity to expand his influence in the army and Peter City.

"Capone, for what reason do you want to start a war?" Philip sneered disdainfully, "Zauron's banner was to avenge his father, and that's exactly what he did. He killed his enemy and left without occupying the card. Fri Town!”

"Reason? I have to find a reason for killing so many of my people? Philip, is your head caught in your butt?"

"You... are vulgar!" Philip choked on these words.

Nancy frowned slightly and glanced at Capone secretly, trying to regain some ground for her father, Earl Philip.

After listening to the situation for the past few days, she felt that her father was right. There should be no war, but a peaceful solution.

It's not that she favors her father, but that if she starts a war rashly, no one can control the situation. Once it gets out of control, the consequences will be very serious.

"Vulgar? Aren't you just worried that the war will affect your factory, your business, and your money?"

"For a few dollars, you don't even care about the soldiers who protect the safety of citizens and only care about your own interests. What a fool!"

Capone said contemptuously, and continued the personal attack.

Philip trembled with anger, pointed at Capone and cursed:

"Am I only looking out for my own interests? I advocated resolving this matter through negotiation for the sake of all the citizens of Peter City. If a war breaks out, they will only be the ones who suffer! I think you are the one with ulterior motives!"

"Ahem!"

"Okay, you two, stop arguing. We are all for Peter City, but from a different angle." Vitor coughed twice and stopped the quarrel between the two.

Just when Nancy thought the Archon was going to continue talking, she heard him continue.

"Lieutenant General Capone, I think what Earl Philip said is very reasonable. We don't have a suitable reason."

"What do we need..."

"Listen to me first." Vitor smiled and stretched out his hand to interrupt Capone. "Zoron did avenge his father. Although his actions were a bit big, he couldn't find any other major faults."

"The most important thing is that last time his father was lured to death by you, and the Crescent Empire didn't say anything."

"So we cannot expand this conflict."

Capone remained silent and did not retort, knowing that Vitor was expressing dissatisfaction with their military's last action.

The top leaders of the two countries have been restraining themselves and letting it be a small fight. However, they ambushed, carried out sneak attacks, and killed the previous generation of Count Soros, making the presidium very passive. They also paid a lot of money to quell the protests of the Crescent Empire. cost.

But the Soros family is the enemy of their military, and many people in the military have grudges against the Soros family.

Getting rid of this family is what everyone wants. There are some things that he can't stop, and he still has to support them.

"But don't worry, I won't let these soldiers die in vain. The Crescent Empire must give us an explanation!"

Vitor said categorically that this was his true thought. He did not want to cause a war, nor did he want to offend the military.

These two aspects are not easy to balance, and no matter which side he prefers, it is not a good thing for him.

If a war breaks out, he, the consul, will definitely be dominated by the military to serve the war.

If he offends the military, his life will not be easy in the future.

Thinking of this, Vitor rubbed his eyebrows and sighed in his heart, how could this Sauron be so tormented.

"Zoron... must take responsibility for this!" After a while, Capone said in a cold tone.

"Responsible? How to be responsible? Do you want him to kowtow to apologize or make an apology?"

The conference room fell silent again for a while.

No one spoke, and Nancy had nothing to do. She looked at the frowning big shots at the conference table, and couldn't help but think of the initiator of this incident, Sauron.

I heard that he was still a high school student who had just come of age.

But why is it so powerful?

He actually defeated Frank and Boer, two long-famous generals, on the battlefield.

Don't know how he did it.
