Chapter 139 The helplessness of Archduke Francis
Chapter 139: Grand Duke Francis' helplessness
"Indefinitely truce?"
"That's right, just now, a messenger came to Walken, who brought the other party's desire to truce."
Feng Kan smacked his lips and grabbed his head.
"Ceaser" is a very subtle word. If possible, he really hopes to hear the other party's request for "ceaser".
"Armature" and "Armature" are two concepts. "Armature" is like two boxers working hard on the ring for ten rounds. Whether it is a loss or a win or a draw, it will be a result. There will be a conclusion about this game.
But "rest" is different. "rest" is like an intermission break. Both sides of the battle took advantage of this short break and went back to the corner to sit down and take a breath, drink a sip of water. If the injuries should be treated, then you should relax. By the way, listen to the opinions of the coach watching the battle on the side for the next battle. Then wait for the gong to ring, then you should pinch it and how to pinch it after you have to...
"It's not sincere enough!" Feng Kan shook his head and squinted his head, Grand Duke Francis sitting aside and was comfortably sucking the clouds and mists.
From this morning, the old man has been here.
Oh, I forgot to say that this is the third fortress of Fort Reston, the steel fortress near the Little Bar Mountains to the east. The reason why Grand Duke Francis is so comfortable is that he is soaking in a hot spring...
The benefits of stratigraphic changes caused by this war are not only added to Fort Reston that is conducive to defense. Most of the open spaces in the third fortress centered on three wells collapsed. After the collapse, the vast training ground of the third fortress was soaked, replaced by the steaming hot springs of Sanyan! And after Sneck's inspection, it was found that these hot springs were still sulfate chloride springs that remained between forty and fifty-five degrees!
Sulfate chloride spring, the main therapeutic effects are arthritis, muscle soreness, neuralgia, gout - in other words, relieve fatigue.
I really don’t know where I went. It’s a pity that the training ground is very low, and the spring water gushing out from the ground has not affected too many places. However, even so, most of the soldiers’ dormitories built around the training ground are completely useless...
No one complained about this. Such a large hot spring pool is enough for one or two thousand people to soak comfortably at the same time. There is nothing more comfortable than to soak in a hot spring for an hour after a day of intense fighting training.
If this is usually done, taking a hot spring bath is a luxurious leisure activity for those rich and nobles. If ordinary people want to enjoy it once, they must wait until the annual autumn harvest festival is resting before they have time to run dozens of miles to the hot spring area to try it. However, it seems that apart from the real need to take a hot spring to treat diseases, not many people have this leisure to join in this fun.
It's different now. The soldiers of Fort Reston are now really the first month to get close to the water. It's unrealistic for tens of thousands of people to enjoy it together. However, after intense training every day and staggering the use time, everyone can enjoy two or three trips every week. Even if they can't soak in the pool, it doesn't matter. If you put a bucket of milky white hot water, you can relax in your own camp.
Thousands of people are taking hot springs at the same time? By the way, this scene is also very spectacular.
——It is not an exaggeration to call it the wonder of the world. It should be no problem to apply for the Guinness World Record?
The rough wooden boards divided the entire large pool into small areas after small areas, and made small passages with round pebbles. Because the time was too short, it was impossible to deal with it in a hurry. The entire third fortress seemed to have become an unprecedented huge bathhouse. Feng Kan and his friends took the two largest ponds without hesitation. At the same time, Grand Duke Francis also occupied one of the most comfortable springs in the pond with his loyal human chariot.
A naked and honest meeting can always make humans relax their vigilance to a large extent. I heard that many businessmen in ancient Rome liked to talk about business in public bathhouses. Of course, this is not the same concept as some people like to contact friends or business partners to "bathe". (People who understand it will be tacit, as for those who don't understand it... I can only say that you are too pure.)
"Is there no sincerity?" Grand Duke Francis stretched his arm comfortably, "I'm all here, what else can I express more sincerity than this?"
"Hey!" But Feng Kan was not convinced by this statement, "To be honest, if we didn't withstand the monster's attack yesterday, would you still propose a truce?"
"No!" Grand Duke Francis shook his head very simply, "Baron will definitely give orders to launch an attack with all his strength."
"Then he doesn't care about your life or death?"
"If you really didn't block that guy's footsteps, no one would be spared in that situation, right? If that's the case, what's the point of he having?"
"...I understand." Feng Kan nodded. He did understand. As this old guy was not only a gambler, but also a desperate. He originally thought that Grand Duke Francis was just knowledgeable and brave. After a long time, the old guy didn't care about life and death at all.
The timids are afraid of the bold, the bold are afraid of the arrogant, and the rudes are afraid of the desperate people. What's more, this desperate guy has hundreds of thousands of fierce troops in his hands. He really has a kind of general and tied with what kind of soldiers. It seems that the confidant generals under the Grand Duke Francis are also a virtue. Otherwise, how could he run into the enemy's formation so safely and boldly? There are hundreds of thousands of troops who are desperate like him staring at him from behind. He really doesn't need to worry about anything.
"What about your answer?"
Grand Duke Francis asked back with a handful of warm spring water on his face.
"Agree! Of course!" Feng Kan glanced at Jace, who was casually satisfied beside him, and nodded fiercely, "The key is not this truce, it's right for this 'indefinite period'?"
"It's true." Jace closed his eyes and groaned, "In fact, the current form is beneficial to us. As long as we guard the southern shore of the newly formed lake, Walken will have no way to fight again. Even if they want to continue to launch an offensive, they have to build ships first. If they want to build ships, the movement will be small. We are not blind and deaf, so won't we be prepared? Explore the attack from the shore into the water - I think it's not difficult to know the result as long as we are not too stupid."
"And the soldiers of Walken have no experience in fighting waters, so even if they really want to fight, they can only stare at the other side of the lake and stare at them. I was originally thinking of some excuses to perfunctorily treat the guys from the Emperor's Division, and now I can even save this excuse."
"So, you don't want to hit me anymore?" Feng Kan asked with a smirk.
"It's not that I don't want to, but I can't. It's of course the best thing to be able to capture Fort Reston, but..." Grand Duke Francis gave him a blank look, "It won't be a loss for us if I can't fight, right?"
"I have to say that your logic is really strange." Feng Kan shook his head in confusion. Grand Duke Francis's idea is really hard to understand. It was the first time he had seen someone who could express his hostility so frankly in the face of the enemy. In the eyes of this old guy, war is like a business. From his tone, both sides are just doing it without making any profit or losing money.
"You don't know about the Holy Jamins Empire." Grand Duke Francis said meaningfully, "Just like I don't know about you. We just need to know that the current actions are beneficial to both sides, right?"
Feng Kan was silent. He did not know much about the Jamins Empire. He probably knew nothing except that he knew it was a huge empire composed of hundreds of small countries.
As the saying goes, there are all kinds of birds in the forest. In such a big empire, no one can tell how many forces are in conflict with each other openly or secretly. Grand Duke Francis is just making the most correct choice now. No matter how strong the Duchy of Walken is, it cannot openly confront the entire empire.
"The situation in Fort Reston is the most ideal at this stage. I think as long as there is an opportunity, it will not be so difficult to convince other countries to form an alliance against the Chaos Army. The difficulty is that some people only focus on their current interests and obstruct them."
"Are you talking about the guys from the Supreme God Church?"
"Although not all, the main resistance does come from them."
Grand Duke Francis sighed, "The guys from the Supreme God Cult are determined to start this war. They cannot easily believe that the Chaos Army is about to invade. Even if they can believe that even if everyone on the mainland unites, they will try every means to seize the dominance of the alliance into their own hands. I can absolutely affirm this only."
"tmd!" Feng Kan cursed viciously, "I'll take people to destroy them all!"
He is really popular. I believe that not many people will like this kind of greedy and extremely stupid guy, right?
"To be honest," Grand Duke Francis glanced at Mr. Mu who stood up from the pool next door, "With the power in your hands, I believe you can definitely do it."
"Then do you support me in doing this?"
"But the question is not whether you can do it, but what are the benefits of doing so."
"Uh..." Faced with this problem, Feng Kan couldn't help but get speechless. He was just a moment of congestion in his brain and did not think so deeply about it.
"The Supreme God Cult has been established for nearly a thousand years," continued Grand Duke Francis. "It is not an exaggeration to say that the foundation of the Holy Jamins Empire is based on the Supreme God Cult..."
(But I don’t think you respect them very much!) Although I was thinking so in my heart, Feng Kan did not interrupt Grand Duke Francis. He knew that what the Grand Duke said now was actually pointing out his key points to dealing with the Supreme God Cult in the future!
"... Although the Supreme God Church is not as prestige as before because of something seventy-five years ago, they have penetrated into all aspects of the empire for thousands of years, and the intricate power relations among them cannot be explained clearly for several days and nights. If it is not enough to kill all the things on the open church to give this huge monster a fatal blow, as long as one of the fanatical believers can survive, the damage they lurk in the secret is absolutely unimaginable."
“Because of faith?”
"Yes, even if the Supreme God Cult, the only sect in the empire, cannot influence the decisions of the upper nobles, the support that can be obtained among the people cannot be underestimated. It is precisely because of this that the imperial royal family cannot take action on the Supreme God Cult."
"Speaking of this, you seem to hate them very much."
"Not annoying, it's very annoying!"
"But you can't do anything to them."
"That's it. These guys are no longer as unscrupulous as they used to be. To be honest, seventy-five years ago, the Supreme God Cult had the right to appoint and remove kings from all countries."
"So as long as they are not too much, you can't just do it with them, right?"
"There's no way!" Grand Duke Francis sighed loudly, "It will be of no benefit to both sides if you force these madmen to anger. No one will know what those madmen will do."
Feng Kan nodded sympathetically. He knew a lot about what religious madmen would do. On earth, there is actually an appropriate definition of such people - terrorists.
Although terrorists are not necessarily fanatical religious elements, most fanatical religious elements must be terrorists.
Since September 11, 2001, everyone on Earth has had a very intuitive understanding of how destructive such people will be.
"So, leave the empire affairs to me!" Grand Duke Francis patted Feng Kan's shoulder and stood up from the pool. His tangled muscles and countless scars made him look like an old man almost fifty years old.
"Ah?" Feng Kan woke up from his thoughts and looked at Grand Duke Frances blankly, "Do you want to go back now?"
"How is that possible?" Grand Duke Francis gave him a condescending look, "How can I say, I can only go around Portal, right? I heard that Fastro VII is a young and promising monarch. I have long been a famous name. If I don't take such a good opportunity to meet him, I will not be able to sleep well at night."
"Then here..."
"The matter at Fort Reston is over!" Jace also stood up from the water. "I think when we meet Barron Barnett again, we will definitely be standing in the same trench."
"So that's all right?"
"We're fine, but you still have something to do." Grand Duke Francis's thorny smile made Feng Kan's scalp numb.
"Ha?"
"That's right! You have something to do!" Surprisingly, Jace also smiled maliciously this time.
"Hey! What does it mean? When did you two guys collude?"
"No, no, no, we don't have any other intentions, but this matter is indeed the most appropriate only if Sir Feng Kan does it."
"What are you doing?... I'll make it in advance! We won't do anything to do with your life!"
"How is that possible?" Facing Feng Kan with a warning face, Jace shook his head helplessly, "It's just that Grand Duke Francis is going to the escort work of Portral, no one is more suitable than you."
