Arthur frowned and said, "It should be the armored heavy cavalry of the Qin army's Tiger Roar Battalion. They had confronted the Roman army before and broke the defense line of hundreds of thousands of Roman troops head-on. Even the heavy-armed Spartan army, known as the nemesis of the cavalry, was defeated! It was not surprising that Quaid was defeated in the battle!"

Alayang frowned and nodded, looking at Quaid in a very embarrassed manner, "Although the defeat in this battle is not your fault, you are still defeated after all. I will deprive you of the general's title now!" "Yes!" Quaid responded respectfully, with great gratitude in his heart.

Alayang asked Arthur: "Is it possible for us to defeat the Germanic army opposite before the Qin army arrives?"

Arthur smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Impossible! The German United Army on the opposite side is not much less than ours, and with the Elbe River as a barrier, it will take at least half a month for us to defeat them. This is the most optimistic estimate! The Qin army's iron cavalry will arrive at the city in at most two days. At that time, not to mention the attack, it is a question whether they can leave the city. The Qin army's Tiger Roar Camp Iron Cavalry is unparalleled in the world. If we fight in the field, our army will not have much chance of winning!"

The scene fell silent and everyone looked very depressed.

Alayang thought for a moment and asked, "What do you think we should do?"

Arthur smiled bitterly and said, "In my opinion, we only have two roads at present. One retreats, and the other apologizes to the Qin Empire!"

As soon as these words were said, the generals immediately exploded. "How can this be done? Isn't this surrender?" Some general retorted angrily.

Alayang also frowned, looking very embarrassed.

After all the generals' emotions were relieved a little, Arthur explained: "Apologizing to the Qin Empire is not a surrender! It is just to express our apology to rashly provoke the war! I think the Qin people should not want to continue the battle!"

Alayang frowned and asked, "What if the Qin people make unreasonable requests?"

Arthur smiled bitterly and said, "We can only satisfy them as much as possible! But I don't think the Qin people would make many excessive demands, because maintaining balance among countries is the goal they want to achieve! Of course there is another way! ~~~"

"What is it?" Alayang asked with hope.

"Using our navy forces to withdraw from the Elbe River, but this is equivalent to telling the Qin people that we will fight against them to the end! I don't need to say more about what will happen next."

Alayang frowned and thought, hesitating.

Just then, a scout rushed into the hall.

"Your Majesty, the Qin army cavalry has appeared in a small town more than ten miles west of the city!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.

Alayang said in surprise: "It's coming so fast!"

Arthur frowned and said, "The Qin people have always been decisive and decisive! Your Majesty, we must make a decision as soon as possible. Whether we are fighting with the Qin people or seeking peace from the Qin people, we must not delay!"

Alayang hesitated for a moment, sighed, and asked Arthur: "How is that messenger of the Qin people now?"

"He?" Arthur smiled bitterly, "He lives a lot more stable than us!"

"Bring him!"

"yes!"

Arthur came outside the cell and said that this was a cell was not appropriate. It was clearly an elegant courtyard. It was imprisoned by Li Jian, the envoy of Qin who had originally assisted the English. On that day, the English decided to attack the Germans and put him under house arrest. The reason why he did not kill him was because he was afraid of stimulating the Qin side.

Arthur entered the hall, and Li Jian was slowly fiddling with the tea set. He glanced at him and asked with a smile: "I think you are either here to kill me or ask me?"

Arthur sat down opposite Li Jian. Li Jian poured him a cup of tea.

Arthur took a sip and praised: "The tea made by sir is delicious!"

Li Jian said with emotion: "It's a pity that things change!"

Arthur couldn't help but sigh. Although the two of them had different races, they had formed a considerable friendship in the past few years, but now they are in opposition camps, which is really embarrassing.

Arthur said: "It's true that we can't hide it! Yu Ercen defeated our 100,000 troops in the battle and was about to reach the city!"

Li Jian smiled and glanced at Arthur, "It seems that your Majesty wants to ask for help?"

Arthur nodded, clasped his fists and said, "Sir, please come!"

Li Jian nodded and said seriously: "I have lived in England for several years. It would be a lie to say that I have no feelings for England! However, this matter involves national interests. I am ugly in the front. Judging from the policies of the Qin Empire, I should agree to your peace, but you will definitely pay some price to punish!"

Arthur nodded, "I understand! As long as the Qin Empire can guarantee the territory before the war in England, other costs are easy to say!"

Li Jian nodded, "I will convey your meaning!"

"Thank you!"

"General!" Li Jian clasped his fists excitedly.

Ma Chao patted Li Jian on the shoulder hard, "I am worried about you, but I can't expect you to come! It's great that we are here! Our army can be without any scruples!"

Li Jian couldn't help but feel a little moved. He clasped his fists and asked, "General, are you planning to continue the attack?"

Ma Chao nodded, "Turn the snake out of the hole, gather and annihilate it!"

Li Jian asked, "Is this what Your Majesty mean?"

Ma Chao was stunned and shook his head and said, "No! It's what I mean! But I can make a decision if I am not allowed to accept the orders of the king outside!"

Li Jian hurriedly said: "General, I think Your Majesty will not be willing to see England destroy the country! Otherwise, you would not just let the General lead the Hu Xiao Battalion to attack! Your Majesty's purpose should be just to make England retreat and maintain the balance here! If the General acts rashly, let alone whether it can succeed. Even if it succeeds, it will be a bad idea to go against His Majesty's strategic intentions, which will help you!"

Ma Chao frowned.

Li Jian continued: "To be honest, the reason why I was able to leave safely is because they let me go!~~~"

Ma Chao glanced at Li Jian, frowned and asked, "Are you here to be a lobbyist?"

Li Jian smiled and said, "As a minister of the Qin Dynasty, how could I be a lobbyist for outsiders! But they really wanted to ask for peace when they let me out! This is actually in line with Your Majesty's strategy!"

Ma Chao hesitated for a moment, "But this is not mentioned in the order His Majesty gave me?"

Li Jian thought, "I think your Majesty may not have expected the general to make such rapid progress! The general might as well send a letter to inquire! It is not a short time to avoid this. Oster Fortress cannot be conquered in a short time!"

Ma Chao thought for a moment and nodded.

Li Jian reminded: "General, although he has made such a decision, he must also prevent the other party from taking risks and sneak attacks out of the city!"

Ma Chao laughed, "I'll be relieved to hear you say that!"

Li Jian was stunned and asked with a wry smile: "Does the General really think I am a lobbyist in England?"

Ma Chao smiled and said, "Now there is nothing! I'll arrange a separate tent for you, so you can have a good rest!"

After Li Jian left, Ma Chao recruited a messenger and ordered him to inquire about the next action to Luoyang.

The 50,000 Iron Cavalry of the Tiger Roar Camp set up camp outside the city, confronting the English army at Oster Fortress, while the German army opposite the Elbe River was actively preparing to cross the river to fight, and at the same time sent envoys to the Qin army.

Someone from the English army proposed to go out of the city to raid, but the proposal was opposed as soon as it was proposed. Arthur asked bluntly: "Do you think we can walk on the plain to compete with the Qin army's Huyao camp?~~" The general who proposed the proposal was immediately dumbfounded, and everyone looked solemn.

Arthur said: "In the plain terrain, no one can compete with the Qin army's Tiger Roar Camp, especially the 20,000-held iron cavalry under the Tiger Roar Camp! Take a step back, even if we lucky enough to annihilate the Tiger Roar Camp, what's next?~~~"

Everyone couldn't help but frown. They had already thought of the terrible consequences that would have ended. The endless black torrent would surely flood the land of England.

Alayang breathed, "Arthur is right! We can only wait for the Qin people to reply! But if the Qin people must destroy us, we cannot sit still and wait for death! Arthur~~~"

"Your Majesty!" Arthur responded.

Alayang asked, "Where is our fleet?"

“Six days left!”

Time passed day by day in a depressing atmosphere. At noon that day, Ma Chao finally waited for Chen Chu's reply. After reading it, he said to Li Jian: "Your Majesty's meaning is indeed as you expected!"

Li Jian nodded and asked, "How do you ask us to respond to each other?"

"Your Majesty put forward two conditions: one is to withdraw the English army to the sphere of influence before the war, and the other is to compensate Germans for one million taels of silver! Your Majesty means that you will represent the empire to contact the English!"

On the same day, Li Jian left the camp and came to Oster Fortress.

"I think your Majesty has a decision?" Alayang asked, looking very calm, but in fact he was very nervous. Although he had said that he was extremely heroic, he was actually very worried that the Qin army would really sweep over, and no one wanted to be the king to go to the family with the King of Hell. The expressions of the generals under his command were very complicated, some were worried, while others seemed very indignant.

Li Jian said: "His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire can promise England's sphere of influence before the war, but the prerequisite is that, first, the English army must withdraw from the German area immediately, second, England will compensate the Germans with one million taels of silver!"

As soon as these words came out, some generals howled, "Do you think we are girls in brothels? Play whatever you want?" ~~~~~

"Give me peace of mind!" Alayang shouted angrily.
