This Game is Too Real

  "How come it's none of our business"

   Li Ke, who was ridiculed for a while, didn't panic at all, instead he smiled back and said. "No matter how small your son's matter is, it's a big deal. Didn't you come all the way here?"

   Cohen didn't react at first, but he quickly came back to the pun, and his face became gloomy.

   Son can refer to the Kingdom of the Golden Lizard or the Wieland.

A century and a half ago, there were no Willands on this planet. All Willands were the predecessors of the Academy, the Technical Department of the Post-War Reconstruction Committee, passed at the request of the Ministry of Defense. A super soldier designed by genetic engineering.

   As the captain of ten thousand, it is of course impossible for him to not know the origin of the Wieland, but he does not care if he knows it. The pride and glory of the Legion did not come from any ancient history, but the infinitely extending road beneath their feet. But don't care, don't care.

   Being picked up and laughed at is another thing. Chu Guang glanced at the B-level researcher in surprise.

   Watching players chatting on the forum before, he thought those nerds were stupid. As a result, it now appears that the dumb-mouthed are only those grassroots operators who can't speak the language of the car.

   Seeing the people standing motionless on the wheat field, the sneering and sarcastic words inside and outside the smell of gunpowder are getting heavier and heavier, and King Mungogh couldn't help but feel numb in his scalp. After all, this is his doorstep.

   In the end, he couldn't hold back the apprehension in his heart, and Meng Ge boldly came out and said.

"...You guys have worked hard all the way! You might as well go to the castle with me to rest, and then discuss further about future matters. After all, this is not the place to talk..." Cohen glanced at the old man lightly, and gave the man next to him. The guard gave a look.

  The guard nodded respectfully, turned around and returned to the "Bison" all-terrain armored walker behind him, stepping over the open hatch.

  The huge steel body slowly lifted up, and the air flow brought a gust of wind, which blew a piece of wheat. Admiring with satisfaction the surprise, panic and other expressions on the faces of the ignorant, Cohen walked straight past the king with a group of 30-level guards and crossed the embankment with satisfaction. door.

  This is the vassal of the Legion.

  30

  He came here like coming home, no need for anyone else to invite him.

  Whether it is a king, nobles or ordinary residents, everyone in this oasis is his slaves, how can a servant invite the master to come home as a guest?

   Aware of his abruptness, King Mongoth lowered his head and dared not take a breath, as did the other nobles around him.

The    Alliance was too kind to them.

   So much so that they almost forgot their status as a vassal state.

   Only the eyes of the Earl of Cromway shone with ambition, thinking about how to please this suspected new master.

   He has offended the managers of the league. Can't screw it up again this time...

   "Damn it, this NPC is pretty good at pretending." Staring at the back of the man who called Cohen to leave, Ye Shi whispered in the communication channel.

   Gu Feng touched the bridge of his nose and said calmly.

   "The five-star captain... Except for the marshal and the army commander, there should be no one higher than him in the entire army." In other words. …

  He is the marshal representing the legion standing here, fully responsible for everything in Luoxia Province, and even has the autonomy to fight.

  This guy is obviously a lot harder to deal with than that Griffin. Especially outside the battlefield.

  Chu Guang stared at the governor's back for a while, and then turned his attention to Wu Changnian who was standing next to the killer whale transport plane.

   The middle-aged man's face had returned to a smile like a spring breeze, and he looked over in the same friendly manner. "It's a pleasure to meet you, manager of the alliance, I've wanted to visit you for a long time... You are younger and more promising than what the media advertised." "Mr. Wu has won the prize."

   "Where, it is thanks to you that this war was won." Wu Changnian shook his head and continued with a slight smile, "But our war has just begun, isn't it?" Chu Guang knew what he was referring to.

  What soldiers achieved on the battlefield needs to be consolidated at the negotiating table.

   This time, Triumph City actually sent a five-star ten thousand captain to serve as the governor of Luoxia Province. I am afraid this ceasefire negotiation will not end simply and hastily.

   "You are right, I would also like to know the position of the council if it is convenient." A happy smile appeared on Wu Changnian's face.

   "I'm planning to communicate this matter, how about taking a step to talk?" Chu Guang also said with a smile.

   "That's what it means." TH210

  The two walked towards the city gate, talking and laughing.

   There were only a few players who had not watched enough lively, the "Bison" all-terrain armored walker standing upright, the enterprise's transport aircraft and commando soldiers, as well as King Mongoth and a group of nobles behind him.

  Standing next to the long shuttle-shaped aircraft, Li Ke was embarrassed for a while, and had no choice but to walk in front of King Mongoth and clear his throat. "I'm from the academy."

   King Mongoth came back to his senses and said quickly and politely. "Is there any order, sir?"

   "Find me a place to live...near those people."

   pointed to Chu Guang and Wu Changnian who had already gone far, Li Ke emphasized with a serious face, "This ceasefire negotiation has an academy seat, do you understand what I mean?"

  Although he didn't understand what the academy had to do with this war, King Mungoth knew that such a behemoth was not something he could offend as a defeated country whose army had been disbanded, so he nodded quickly. "I understand." "I understand."

   Li Ke glanced at the guy with satisfaction, took the two android bodyguards beside him, and walked through the city gate contentedly.

   Although the friend from the Wandering Swamp made a pretentious appearance when he appeared, but thanks to this, the atmosphere of tension between the company and the army has eased.

  Looking at the indifferent look on Li Ke's face, he didn't seem to care at all, and he didn't care what that Cohen said. But think about it.

   The giveaway of hyperopia is not just extreme materialism, but consequentialism.

   Ordinary prospectors have no right to know the details of the negotiation. Even if the "Doctor Conclusion" knows the details, he may not care whether his subordinates are ashamed. as long as the ultimate goal is achieved. As long as the cost to pay is acceptable...however the ceasefire talks are not going well.

Although    was expected, the tough attitude of the representative named Cohen was somewhat beyond Chu Guang's expectations. …

  The castle in the center of Falcon City.

  In the spacious council hall, there are representatives from legions, enterprises, colleges and alliances.

  Under the watchful eyes of the guards, the servants in the castle timidly poured tea and water for these bigwigs, daring not to be slighted.

   Cohen tapped the table with his hand, and his aggressive aura fully reflected the rude and unreasonable characteristics of the Willant.

   "If you really have the sincerity of a ceasefire, leave your troops from Oasis No. 2 immediately! This is the premise of restoring peace!" "This is unrealistic."

   was not frightened by the aggressive aura, Chu Guang interrupted him without giving in. "The coalition's military operations will only end after the ceasefire agreement takes effect." Cohen raised his eyebrows, surprised by the coalition's tough attitude. In the battle report sent to Triumph City before, the Legion and the Alliance had each other's victories and defeats.

  Although Griffin, who was isolated and helpless, was at a disadvantage due to the support of the enterprise, his troops still caused a lot of casualties to the alliance.

   Especially a legendary squire who killed thousands of people in the alliance by himself!

   It stands to reason that even if the battle report sent by the front line contains bragging elements, at least a small part of it can be believed.

  Before getting off the airship, he was sure that the Alliance would not be able to last, so he took an aggressive attitude as soon as he got up. However now...

The tough reaction of the    Alliance was beyond his expectations.

   Cohen was unsure for a while, whether the man in front of him was bluffing, or whether the situation on the front line was not as optimistic as he thought.

   Thoughts in his heart were spinning fast, the attitude on Cohen's face remained unchanged, and he retreated to the next best way.

   "Then at least your men should withdraw from the area around the Clarion Fort and keep a buffer distance of fifty kilometers from ours. This is a reasonable request.

   But what he didn't expect was that the man sitting opposite still refused.

   "The defenders of Fort Clarion haven't surrendered, there are 50,000 legionnaires stationed there, we can't let such a big threat go unnoticed, and we won't go anywhere until they hand over their weapons or the ceasefire talks progress." A joke.

   How could Chu Guang agree to such a condition.

  Cohen may not know the supply situation in the horn fort, but he can hear it clearly from the battlefield guy. The defenders in the horn fort were not only short of water, food, and ammunition, but were also on the verge of collapse due to the planes being harassed by turns, and had been pushed to the brink of infighting.

  The defenders in the horn fort were not only short of water, food, and ammunition, but were also on the verge of collapse due to being harassed by the planes in turn, and had been pushed to the brink of infighting.

   Once retreated 50 kilometers, it is impossible for the army of the Skeleton Corps and the Lion Kingdom to completely cut off the supply as it is now.

   And if one accidentally sends ammunition into the fort, then 80% of them have to fight. Looking at Cohen, who obviously hadn't figured out the situation, Chu Guang said in a calm tone.

   "Mr. Cohen, I don't know if you've heard this sentence. What you can't get on the battlefield, never expect to get it from the negotiating table." Cohen narrowed his eyes dangerously. "You mean see you on the battlefield." The air in the conference room seemed to freeze. …

   The moment he heard Cohen's words, Li Ke, who was sitting at the negotiating table, suddenly became nervous.

   Wu Changnian's expression did not change, but he kept winking at Chu Guang, implying that he should not push the Triumph City too tightly.

  The smell of gunpowder on the negotiating table was unprecedented*.

  Chu Guang didn't look at anyone, still staring at Cohen. "I mean, please make a practical appeal.

   The eyes of both sides seemed to be sharp swords colliding, sparks sparked at the negotiating table.

  Although the legion's power is obviously stronger than the alliance, in terms of personal bravery, Cohen, who is just an ordinary person, obviously lost to Chu Guang.

  Authentic

   Knowing that there would be no result in the confrontation, Cohen snorted coldly, pushed away the tea on the table, and stood up from the conference table.

   Startled by his action, Li Ke, who didn't say a word from beginning to end, hurriedly made a sound. "Everyone speak well, or take a step back"

   "It seems you don't have the sincerity to have a good talk." Completely ignoring the B-level researcher, Cohen squinted at Chu Guang who was sitting opposite. "Let's be here today."

   For the threatening tone, Chu Guang just smiled lightly and said calmly. "It seems that you haven't rested well along the way." "Then as you wish, let's talk about it tomorrow." He knew why Cohen did it.

  The Arbiter has just arrived in Luoxia Province, and still doesn't know the real situation of the front line. And in the style of painting cakes of the East Expansion School, the battle report sent to Triumph City must have been whitewashed.

   Maybe in the "Triumph", Griffin is fighting the alliance indistinguishable, and Cohen, who has just arrived, will naturally be confused by the toughness of the alliance.

   Let him understand the current situation of the Lower Horn Fortress.

After    left the conference room, Cohen immediately called Joseph who was on the Arbiter. "Can you contact Griffin?"

   "Can't get in touch with them... The communication is abnormal, the Alliance plane destroyed the signal tower of the fortress, or other malfunctions."

   Cohen nodded silently.

   This "other fault" made him hear a hint of meaning.

  Joseph is an army system and a confidant of Saron, the commander of the Eastern Army. He obviously understands the style of the Eastern Expansion faction better than himself. perhaps··

   This guy has found something from some clues. "General Joseph, are you loyal to His Majesty the Marshal?" The other end of the communication channel replied without the slightest hesitation.

   "Of course, my loyalty to His Majesty the Marshal is unparalleled, why are you asking this all of a sudden??" Cohen said unchanged.

   "It's nothing, I hope that every choice you make next will be worthy of your identity and the trust that His Majesty the Marshal has in you."

   The other end of the communication channel was silent for a while. "I see." After hanging up the phone.

   The elevator of the Adjudicator was lowered, and the two motorcycles were deployed on the surface, galloping away in the direction of the Horn Fort.

  Before the negotiations start tomorrow, they need to know the real situation of the Clarion Fort. And what the **** is that guy Griffin trying to do...

   At the same time, Chu Guang, who had just left the conference room, was dragged to the next room by Wu Changnian. Before he could speak, Wu Changnian said in a hurry. …

   "Anyway, the Legion's garrison in Luoxia Province is only 50,000. You also promised to withdraw from the No. 2 Oasis. Why don't you follow that big nose?"

   Looking at Vice Minister Wu with a worried look, Chu Guang comforted him patiently.

"My friend, you don't know the front line, it's normal to think so. This is not a matter of the army taking two steps back. If we retreat 50 kilometers, it is equivalent to opening the pockets surrounding Griffin, which is equivalent to the ceasefire negotiations. He voluntarily gave up his chips before starting... Can you understand?"

"The surrounded 50,000 army, thousands of officers, is the biggest bargaining chip in our hands. If you don't understand, you can call Yi Chuan. I have already discussed this matter with him in advance." Wu Changnian heard the words. Said with a wry smile. "You still think about this..."

  The council didn't expect to get anything from the poor ghouls to the west, and the proud territory of the Willantes was worthless in their eyes.

   This is not because of arrogance, but because the Willantes have never seriously managed the territory they laid down. Most of the time, they simply and rudely take it together with the territorial people as trophies, and package it up and distribute it to many lower-ranking officers.

   Beings like Lost Valley and Qingquan City are all over the Legion's territory, and they haven't solved any problems.

   "Of course." Chu Guang's idea was different from Wu Changnian's. Dinars could also buy some good things.

   "We can give up No. 2 Oasis, but it is a bargaining chip at the negotiating table, not to show the so-called sincerity, and unilaterally give the positions that have been obtained to the Willantes." Wu Changnian couldn't help but asked.

   "You're not at all afraid of becoming the fuse of a total war" Chu Guang shook his head.

   "This kind of thing is not something that can be solved by fear. We want peace, but we never imagined that peace can be achieved by compromise."

   Wu Changnian pressed his index finger between his eyebrows.

   "The bargaining chip... You still expect the Legion to pay you compensation," Chu Guang said as a matter of course. "Why not"

   As if guessing that this guy would say so, Wu Changnian sighed. After pondering for a moment, he said.

   "Well... a billion Cr, we will pay you in the form of aid as compensation to the Alliance. The Council gave him some autonomy.

  When the ceasefire conditions cannot be negotiated, it is also an option for the enterprise to compensate part of the war expenses of the alliance. At least that's less expensive than a full-scale war across Middle-earth. Hearing the aid of one billion Cr, a smile appeared on Chu Guang's face. "I'm so sorry." Wu Changnian resisted the urge to roll his eyes. Sorry for your refusal!

   Of course, Chu Guang would not refuse this kind of benefit delivered to his door. After a slight cough, he continued to speak solemnly.

"We can give up claiming war reparations from the Legion and its vassals, like you said... that's really not realistic. After the ceasefire agreement goes into effect, our troops will also be withdrawn from Oasis 2 immediately. But like I said before, We will not take the initiative to withdraw our troops before the ceasefire agreement takes effect, and we hope that you will fully cooperate with us at the negotiating table, not only for us, but also for you." Wu Changnian nodded. …

   "I have no opinion, our demands are only for a truce, Vault 0, and the safety of the crew of the Pioneer."

  Chu Guang breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and stretched out his right hand. "Happy cooperation." "I hope so."

   Holding the right hand that Chu Guang stretched out and shaking it, after Wu Changnian released it, he suddenly thought of something and said. "By the way, this is a personal suggestion, have you considered... um, setting up a private account in Ideal City"

   Chu Guang was stunned when he heard words that had nothing to do with the negotiation. "...private account" Wu Changnian nodded.

   "Yes, it's not very troublesome. You can register even if you don't have the resident status of the ideal city. Many nobles in the Stone City have it."

   Hearing this sentence, Chu Guang immediately understood what he meant, then leaned back on the chair and shook his head with a smile. "No need."

   Wu Changnian did not give up and explained patiently.

   "Don't get me wrong, I'm not bribing you... It's just that based on the current situation, the risk of a full-scale war is not without, and a deposit can at least give you a way back."

   So far, the Legion has not made every effort to invade Luoxia Province, and the enterprise has also carefully controlled the scale and pace of the war.

   If nothing else, the ceasefire negotiation should be held in the royal capital of the Lion Kingdom. As for Oasis No. 3, which originally belonged to the Honey Badger Kingdom, the council has even made plans to give it to the Legion. No one thought the league could play like this. A direct wave pushed Griffin back to his hometown.

   Now the development of the situation has exceeded the expectations of the Supreme Council. If it really reaches the stage of a full-scale war, he hopes to at least keep the leaders of the allies. That's what the council means.

   However, Chu Guang's answer was beyond Wu Changnian's expectations.

   "I don't need that kind of thing, and even if one day, I'm not going anywhere but standing with those who trust me."

   Wu Changnian stared at him blankly, for a while he couldn't see through the young man in front of him. He looked slightly regretful, but nodded anyway.

   "Okay. By the way, this is just a personal suggestion... It has nothing to do with the council." Chu Guang smiled and nodded.

   "Understand, those words just now will not affect our cooperation.

   The ceasefire talks on the first day broke up without a happy ending, and the negotiations on the second, third and fourth days also failed to make substantial progress.

   Ceasefire talks have temporarily stalled.

The    Academy didn't play a mediating role at all, and the governor from Triumph City didn't really want to pay attention to that B-level researcher. As for the business side.

Wu Changnian did give the alliance a lot of support, but the nature of the council determines that he cannot have too much independent decision-making power. He can only make decisions after asking the council for instructions and discussing it at the council. make a decision.

  Especially the arrival of the academy completely exceeded his expectations.

  A killer whale transport plane flew back overnight just to bring this news back to the communication range of the ideal city in the shortest time possible.

  Chu Guang originally thought that the academy's mediation would make the negotiation go more smoothly, at least as a bargaining chip to put pressure on the Legion. But it now appears that this has instead added variables to the negotiations. But Chu Guang was not in a hurry. …

No matter how strong the    Legion is, the initiative in this negotiation is also in the hands of the Alliance occupying Falcon City, which just gives him plenty of time to complete the "transformation" of the Falcon Kingdom.

   The most anxious at the moment should be the 50,000 defenders who were surrounded by the horn fort without water and food, and General Cohen, who was hoping to bring the prisoners of war back at the least cost.

  Chuguang has succeeded in grinding the ceasefire conditions from "the withdrawal of the coalition and enterprises from Oasis 3" to "maintaining the pre-war frontiers unchanged".

   The only dispute now is the town of Bicester.

   The Falcon Kingdom has abandoned this town. After all, this town was not originally in Oasis No. 2. It was an action fortress built by the Legion to march eastward.

   But Cohen insisted that even though the town was not within the boundaries of Oasis 2, it was still built by the Wieland.

   "Looks like we're going to have the fifth round of negotiations." Seeing that Cohen could not be persuaded, Chu Guang pretended to sigh regretfully, pushed the notebook on the table, but did not close it.

   Looking at the man who didn't take himself seriously, Cohen narrowed his eyes slightly, and the fist on his knee clenched and loosened. He really couldn't hold on.

  According to Joseph's knowledge, the situation of the defenders of the Fort Horn is not optimistic. Although the planes of the Alliance have stopped their air strikes, they are running out of food and fresh water. Taste.

  The most terrible thing is that the planes of the Alliance are staring at their kitchens to fry them, making pots and pans almost a scarce commodity now.

   At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside the conference room, and soon a Willante soldier walked in from the outside with a serious look.

   The people sitting at the table went over there, trying to see a clue from the man's stern expression.

   Li Ke from the academy was even more direct. He simply took out a pair of headphones that seemed to have the function of amplifying the volume from his pocket and put it on his ear.

   Apparently he took everyone else as a fool, thinking that no one noticed his little gestures.

   Chu Guang's brows twitched, and he couldn't help but have a boring thought in his heart, if he suddenly shouted into this guy's ear, would he just send him away.

   However, that clever friend was doomed to be disappointed. Instead of whispering beside Cohen, the soldier handed him a note.

   Cohen took the note and glanced at it, his expression suddenly changed.

   stood up with his hands on the table, he glanced at the people at the conference table, and then hurriedly dropped a sentence. "That's it for today's negotiations."

After   , he ignored the stunned voice and the surprised faces at the conference table, and walked out of the conference room without looking back.

   Wu Changnian quickly looked at Chu Guang.

   However, to his disappointment, Chu Guang also looked puzzled. This guy is in such a hurry to go back because the house is on fire...

   What he said just now was just to show that the Alliance didn't care to talk a few times, and didn't really intend to dissolve today's meeting.

   "Do you have any news?" Li Ke, who took off the megaphone, looked at Chu Guang and couldn't help asking. "No." Chu Guang shook his head.

  Li Ke hesitated and was about to say something.

   At this moment, the VM on Chu Guang's arm suddenly vibrated, and a small light blue window that only he could see was projected on the screen.

   The moment he saw that line of words, he held his breath. Noticing the change in Chu Guang's expression, Wu Changnian immediately asked. "what happened"

  Chu Guang pondered for a while and said. "Griffin is dead."

The moment the    voice fell, the air in the entire conference room seemed to freeze, and the expressions on the faces of everyone sitting at the table were different and wonderful. Wu Changnian was stunned on the spot.

  I didn't expect that the old fox galloping through the desert would end his life scrawled like this on an ordinary afternoon.

   He didn't know whether to be happy or sorry for a while. "That guy actually died..."

   Li Ke's face was also full of surprise, but more of it was gloating.

   That guy hung up his phone before he died. Although he wasn't a careful person, he didn't forget about it. Ha ha. die well

   Stupid and arrogant Willante, it's time to die in obscurity in a lowly corner... There's no better ending for this lunatic.

   And as soon as that guy dies, this stalemate ceasefire negotiation should come to an end soon. Li Ke is only curious now how Griffin died.

   King Mungot, who was listening in, sighed softly. That Griffin still respected him... at least more than Claes and McKellen. Chu Guang's mood was a bit complicated.

   He originally thought that this guy could hold on for a while longer, at least until the ceasefire negotiation was over, but he didn't expect to leave like this... It's a pity.

   He also promised McKellen before that he would be reunited with Griffin

   I like this game too real
