Blood Dawn 11th

11th-2 United Army Attack•Middle

"Today is as calm as yesterday."

"The storm between the clouds is surging."

Gustaf, standing on the side of the ship, burst into laughter:

"It's worthy of Her Majesty the Queen of Heil Milan, the country of civilization. Sure enough, I can't defeat you in any way. I'm really a little bored."

After the two kings talked the day before yesterday, Gustav suddenly became a little enthusiastic about this game. Among the nobles of Haier Milan, this is a common after-dinner entertainment. In fact, it does not pursue the logic between dialogue at all, because after all, this is not a competition of poetry, but it is easy to be complacent about the previous line. What really surprised Xilu was that the rumored king of barbarians would also be keen on this form of action, but Gustav did seem to have a deep understanding of it:

"Looking at the Queen's look, it must be strange. Why am I, known as a barbarian, keen on this kind of game that is regarded as 'daydreaming' in our country?"

"It's not just enthusiasm, your familiarity with this kind of game really surprises me. In our country, this kind of game may not spread among the nobles as ordinary people imagine, and I'm afraid that only you are so proficient in your country, right?

"I can't talk about the word mastery, but I can occasionally say a few words by chance, and I still can't compare with Her Majesty. However, it is not unreasonable for you to be surprised, and the reason is that it is not only Lu Tevin who has studied in your country. I also traveled through the kingdoms when I was young, but I could not appear openly as Wang Di at that time.

"So... Your Excellency has also been a guest in our country..."

"And I have also had various exchanges with some distinguished ministers in your country, one of which is this kind of game. After returning to China, I couldn't find an opponent to practice, but today I suddenly wanted to try my luck with the Queen..."

"You are really an artist with a devil's head, as rumored."

"This kind of evaluation really makes me feel ashamed. However, I have a question to ask, what does the so-called 'storm among clouds' mean?

"Speaking of this... you should know better than me."

"Unfortunately, I am not the kind of wise person who can recognize the facts with just a few simple hints. It should be said that I have already passed that age, and I am not as strong as the Queen's pursuit of the future. In a word, what does the Queen think is the meaning of what you said? Did the storm come from Heland, or did Gutlund, who had never moved? Or... Haier Milan?"

"Don't you think... the storm actually comes from you? To put it bluntly, since the beginning of the war, you have been stirring up this malicious storm, just like the warships under your feet to run rampant in the sky, which has been bringing a shadow of panic to the mainland, and the reason for stirring up this huge storm is not to let it subvert the whole big Lu, just to complete a game that you can't have..."

"It is by no means dispensable, Your Majesty, for me, this game is of extraordinary significance, but it's a pity that no one can understand the meaning. In fact, I have never asked anyone to understand it. Since the war is provoked by me, it is up to me to bear everything without caring about those meaningless concerns. On the contrary, the Queen... I would like to ask you, how will I end after the war? Will he be exiled or beheaded?

"According to the practice of various countries, maybe it will end in a decent way after the trial?"

"A decent way?"

"After all, you are the king of a country, and you should do it in a bloodless way, right?"

Is it poison or hanging? Hahaha... I don't know who can end my life with my own hands? If it were you, maybe I would be happy... But before that, we have to survive this war."

"Do you really leave no room for consideration on this issue?"

"What does the Queen's so-called space refer to?"

"I just have some unanswerable questions... Any king, including me... At the beginning of the war, I only thought of the word 'victory', and what you think doesn't seem to be simple, and even makes me feel that you have been looking for an end to failure or even death. . Isn't your so-called 'game' really not a simple metaphor?

"How is it possible that even if I am just a crazy person, I will not exchange a kingdom for my personal satisfaction... Does the Queen think I will answer you like this?"

“......”

"As you said, I have been looking for a final ending with failure and death. Since the day I killed Brother Wang and ascended the throne, I have been longing for this result to come as soon as possible... However, it is really funny that I am not a person who is not afraid of death like those soldiers. Obviously, when it is only one step away from my dream, I suddenly became afraid... So I ordered Those magicians created those legendary monsters, not to help me sweep the mainland, but to protect my insignificant life... Is this a ridiculous answer?

"It's not so ridiculous, but I just feel sad. You are the king of a country, and you can't control your own destiny freely..."

"Then you are wrong, Your Majesty. In fact, in my eyes, it is you who really can't grasp the fate. Although my life has not come to an end and can't comment easily, everything is completely derived from my original intention. Whether it is a sudden declaration of war or a sudden truce, it is just my personal idea, so those who stand behind me will only open their eyes and stare at my unreasonable behavior. Maybe at this moment The council discussed how to drive me off the throne... No matter what the result is, I will have no regrets about it. In contrast, what about the Queen?"

"Maybe you're right... However, I'm also the kind of person who likes to stick to my own opinions."

Hated or afraid of Gustav's exaggerated and lifeless face, Silu turned her head:

"Let me witness how everything you said turned into reality in the end. Before that, I sincerely wish that your wish can be fulfilled, but I don't think the kingdoms will necessarily sit idly by, and you will think so, right?

"Then why don't we start a new war and destroy everything that hinders us? Anyway, for a barbarian who regards war as a game, no matter how many things are destroyed, it will cause him any pity, right? And for this kind of person, the existence of the continent and even the whole world is equivalent to zero, so returning zero to another form of zero will not shed tears..."

"You are such a crazy guy, Mr. Gustav. I really can't imagine who can say such irrational words so in person except Your Excellency..."

"So you met today, Your Majesty, and you will never see a second person like me in the future. Isn't this something to be proud of?"

"If I do that... I will become as crazy as you, but I can't lose my mind because of this, because I still have to keep a clear mind to watch your every move. With all due respect, if I find that there is too obvious a signal in your action, maybe I will stab the sword directly into your chest... You must be mentally prepared."

"In that case, you are welcome! I really want to see what kind of dagger can pierce my heart, and if even this can make it difficult for me to sleep and eat, I will lose my qualification to stand in front of you. In short, you don't have to worry about any of your actions. Just do it boldly when you think you should do something.

Gustaf laughed happily without hindrance. In Xilu's ears, it seemed that this was the first time she had heard such a sincere and non-threatening voice, and she inevitably felt a trace of inexplicable surprise. Gustav also quickly put away this kind of laughter, which may have been unexpected to him, and poked his head out of the boat with some boredom:

"It seems that we are about to arrive at our destination, Your Majesty."

"Destination?"

"That's the Heland battlefield we have been waiting for a long time."

"I'm not looking forward to the battlefield. That's just your personal hobby, right?"

"Don't you expect it? That really surprised me... So even so, it doesn't seem to be a wise act to disobey your intention.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Who knows... I just have such an intuition. If you are surprised, just think that I'm talking to myself needlessly to pass the time."

"Then please ask me many times as if I have doubts. It's just... Can you see the scene on the earth when you are so high?

"How can it be? I just smelled the smell of the battlefield. However, it is strange that the troops under our warship do not seem to be the main force of your country, but a small force that is marching rapidly. Do you know which unit it is?"

"It's not Lyon's main force... It should be the reinforcements sent by our country, right? I once gave this order and sent a thousand troops.

"To help tens of thousands of troops in your country with a thousand troops? What a courageous decision. By the way, I didn't satirize you this time.

"Even if you want to satirize me, I can only admit this fact. The reinforcements were sent before the truce with your country. At that time, we really couldn't send more troops to deal with it. Time often likes to joke with people, and we can only accept reality silently.

"It's not like you, Queen. So, in this case, shall we go down and say hello to your army? After all, we are an alliance now.

"Please, before that, please raise the signal flag of the truce."

"You are really good at taking every problem into consideration."

"That's entirely because even if you have an alliance, once our army launches an attack because of a misunderstanding, you will still order a counterattack without hesitation."

"You are really well aware, Your Excellency."

Of course, perhaps Gustav, who is laughing, does not understand what kind of waves are surging in the heart of the "queen" in front of him at this moment. It should be said that at this moment, her whole body is shrouded in invisible sweet waves, and a heart has already flown to loyd below.

In fact, even without the armistice flag, Loide will not, or be able to attack the warship, not to mention that he has received truce news from his country. However, when Silas's warship landed in front of him and saw the two figures on the deck, he was still slightly shocked:

"Is that King Gustav of Silas? Sure enough, it is as good as the rumors. As for Queen Selysia..."

Is it actually Xilu after changing her appearance?

Of course, this judgment is not based on the conclusion of intelligence from the country, but the intuition generated at the moment of facing the other party.

Some intuitions are that they can make the most accurate judgment in the shortest time, especially in the face of people they are familiar with or even deeply loved. Even if they change their appearance, they still can't escape their eyes.

Loed showed a understanding look and greeted the two kings on the deck:

"It's a great honor to meet you two here, Your Majesty Gustav, Queen Selysia."

When saluteing Xilu, loyd took her hand and kissed her gently, and then quietly pinched it. Xilu immediately understood what he meant. Although there was still a serious smile on her face, her heart was already turbulent:

"Thank you for your hard work, loyd. How's it going along the way?

"Thank you for your concern. Although they were constantly blocked by the enemy along the road, they were all successfully broken through. The 1,000-person army has lost less than one-tenth so far, and I am finally confident that I can make a clear-hearted explanation to your majesty.

"Really... Thank you for your hard work, because your expedition was before the truce between our country and Silas, so I have always been deeply worried about the army of only 1,000 people... But it seems that these are superfluous."

"It's a great honor to receive the praise of Her Majesty the Queen."

"Even if it is me, I can't help but express my deep respect for you. With a thousand troops deep into the borders of a big country like Heland, there are few people in our country who can have such courage and wisdom. If Lagna is also here, he will definitely have the impulse to share with you... The recent young people are really beyond our reach.

"Thank you for your praise, His Majesty Gustav. Please allow me to tell the truth. Your Majesty will suddenly make a truce with our country, which is what I deeply admire.

"Oh? Can you understand the reason for my truce?

"Maybe others will be deeply confused? However, although it is impossible to fully understand the reason, I just feel that I can understand your majesty's intention... that's all.

"Hahaha... This is really a rare witty word I hear! In this case, as a thank you for understanding my heart, I also take the liberty to ask... What is the meaning of 'our country' you just mentioned?

"That...of course refers to Haier Milan..."

"Really... Then let me ask more questions, hahaha..."

"Two...what does this mean?"

Hearing Gustav's sudden question and looking at loyd's unnatural face, Xilu's heart naturally came up with the idea of "is there any unknown inside story". However, looking at the appearance of the two can guess that no one would immediately answer her doubts, so He didn't continue to ask, but stared at loyd fiercely while Gustav was not paying attention.

"So, is Lord loyd going to board the ship with us, or are you ready to continue along the land route?"

"If you can board the ship with your majesty, of course, it is a great thing. The soldiers are exhausted, and His Excellency Lyon has also fallen into a siege..."

"Leon...is he in a besiege?"

Xilu couldn't hide her panic and almost called the other party's name. Finally, she added a "qing" awkwardly. Loyd nodded understandingly:

"Farnde told me that he has now made a deal with me in order to seek our help and is currently going to Lyon to assist in defense. According to him, Lyon has been surrounded by Heland, and the flag of Gutland was found in the siege army..."

"Gutlund? Have they finally begun to move?

Silo's face became paler and paler. Loyde wanted to comfort her with some sympathy, but felt inappropriate because Gustav was standing aside:

"At present, we can't confirm the facts and we haven't received any news from our country, so it can't be ruled out that Heland is bluffing."

"Even a born coward may rise up by interests, not to mention a kingdom. I have always believed in this, so I have been encouraging Gutlend, and it seems that the result has not disappointed me..."

"Do you mean... have you been secretly instigating Gutlund to launch attacks on our country closely with your country and Herland?"

A flame of anger appeared on Xilu's face in an instant, but Gustav shook his head carelessly:

"If that's the case, your country will have perished because of the joint attack of the three kingdoms within a month of the start of the war, right? However, the fact is that your country not only persisted, but also forced Horland back to its hinterland while fighting a truce with our country. Does the Queen think this is really the protection of the goddess, or is it caused by luck?

"So... Your real intention to instigate Gutlund is..."

"That's why Gutlund has been motionless. At the beginning of the war, I had already issued a warning to them that our country would form an alliance with Haier Milan sooner or later. If they dare to act rashly, they will be attacked by the cooperation of our two countries, and Heland will never lend a helping hand to them. What choices will they make under the balance of interests?

"Wait for the opportunity, and then cooperate with your country to attack Heland... Is that right?"

"The Queen is as reasonable as I expected."

"Is your country's goal locked in Heland from the beginning? What is the reason for you to adhere to this ideal regardless of the fact that it is not adjacent to the country of Heland? Is it because of the regret left over from history?

"It's impossible to say that, although this is not the whole reason... If I say that it's because I don't like Hilde's insidious act of plotting to kill King Durand, will you believe it?"

"Maybe I will thank you, but I will never believe this."

"So the fact is that I have no reason to tell you for the time being."

"In that case... please allow me to ask one last question. If your country succeeds in conquering Heland... What will you do next?

"Yes...what will happen next? I don't know this myself... In a word, we should continue until the game is completely over, or one of the Queens is exiled or hanged? I'm sorry, I want to give an answer now, which is really difficult, and this should be the Queen's own responsibility. Please open your eyes and look carefully.

Gustaf waved to the new adjutant beside him, talked to him in a low voice, and waved him to step down:

"Well, Mr. loyd, there are three warships in my army that can be responsible for your thousand troops. Please rest assured to board the ship. During this truce, we are a temporary alliance and will never be harmful to your army. And in the face of Heland's problem, I hope we can also fight together in the name of the coalition army.

"It would be great if the war could develop smoothly in such an ideal direction... Your Majesty Gustav."

"Yes... I'm also looking forward to it, but at the moment when we conquered Hland, those guys in China should also start to act as I wish... Hahaha, this kind of conflict without peace and hope is really indescribably happy! Then, please ask your soldiers to board the ship as soon as possible, Mr. Loed, and we will continue to move forward in 15 minutes.

After salute, loyd turned around and ran to his troops to convey the order to board the ship. Xilu hesitated for a moment and jumped off the deck:

"Wait for me...Mr. loyd!"

"Female...Her Majesty? You are..."

"Ah... Although I'm a little sorry... I also want to know as much as possible about my country, so let me ride on the same warship as you?"

"That's my honor, Your Majesty..."

"Yes...yes...you should thank me well..."

Because Gustav was not by her side, Silu boldly showed a little nature, and in order to show the pain she suffered because of missing, she also made a "kick" posture... Fortunately, Gerard and Lena ran up together "untimely":

"Her Majesty! I didn't expect it to be a great honor to see you here..."

"I also feel very much to see you come here safely... You have worked really hard along the way..."

Unable to control the impact of the reunion in time, Xilu responded to Gerald's greetings unnaturally. Lina said strangely, "um" and suddenly ran to Xilu's side. She leaned over her head and began to smell like a foraging puppy...

"Huh...hey?"

Is it because Lena discovered her identity? Xilu's heart almost burst out of her chest, and Gerrard jumped up in surprise:

"What are you doing, Lena! It's rude to do this in front of the queen!"

"Hey..."

Lena smiled cunningly and then stepped back a few steps and bent down:

"It's really rude, Your Majesty, because Lena serves as Mr. Loyde's escort, she always likes to be suspicious... Please forgive Lena!"

"Ah...ah ha... I didn't care about it..."

Actually, you have found my identity, right? Otherwise, what's wrong with the annoying smile on your face?

Silo pretended to have a flat smile, threw an angry look at Lena, and then stretched out her hand to loyd:

"Then... please bother me more next, Mr. loyd."
