Lord Chronicle

Chapter 268 Future Plans

Afterwards, this surprising award banquet finally came to a successful conclusion.

After the banquet, Sol and others left the palace together.Halfway through the journey, Gein finally couldn't help asking: "Why did you refuse to accept the Bahraini collar? Wouldn't it be a pity."

Before Sol could answer, Walsa on the side said, "Stupid, don't you understand? If Sol really agrees, it would be terrible. Do you think Cliff's seat is easy to sit in?"

After all, he was his father, and Das was very embarrassed by Robert's behavior.He laughed: "Let's not talk about this, even if you don't want Bahrain, Sol, you should at least want some land from other territories, five years of tax exemption, and the authority to rebuild after the war, is it too cheap? "

Saul shrugged: "Really? It's always been my motto to be low-key, and managing Lovell itself is very tiring. Why should I increase my workload?"

At his words, the three of Das shook their heads in disbelief, no one could guess what kind of medicine he sold in his gourd.

At this time, Sol asked Gein: "So what about you, why did you choose the Western Legion?"

Gein breathed out: "Because Dad is there."

"Haha, you are unwilling to live in the shadow of your father, so you want to go to the Western Legion to open up your own world?" Walsa couldn't help but teased.

Gein nodded solemnly: "That's right. The orc civil strife, the Northern Legion has not done much in a short period of time, but because of this war, the Western Legion, which is on the front line against Lulin, is the most important one." The best place for me."

"I want everyone to understand that I, Gein, have the same talent as my father."

Knowing that this was his long-standing ambition, Sol nodded, then turned to Walsa and said, "What about you, what are your future plans?"

Walsa said: "I still plan to go back to the Magician Guild to continue my practice, at least to obtain the qualification of a senior magician. This war made me understand a lot of things. I think it's time to seriously consider the path I should take in the future. .”

"What about you?" Walsa asked Das.

Das raised his head and stretched his waist: "I plan to leave the capital temporarily."

"Hey, why?" Gein asked in surprise.

Turning his head to look at the three of them, Das shrugged and said, "Because this place has been made lifeless by the war, it is more suitable for the two brothers. So I plan to stay in the fief I just won for a while, and let's talk about it later."

"Don't you have a military post under General Pintat?" Walsa asked in surprise.

Das spread his hands: "Well, I also plan to quit, the army really doesn't suit my character."

"That's a pity, you finally got to that position..." Gein also wanted to persuade him.

Sol waved his hand and interrupted the two of them: "Okay, now that Darth has made his decision, it would be nice to rest comfortably for a while, so let's stop talking."

Das glanced at Sol with some surprise, as if surprised that he seemed to understand his intentions, but he just laughed: "That's right, even Gein has found a wife, I should take care of a few asses." .”

"Hey, what do you mean, Vihir and I really love each other." Gein said anxiously.

Walsa pouted: "That's why it's surprising."

"Shut up, you bastard who only pretends to be tender, you have no right to say that I..."

At this moment, Sol suddenly opened his arms and took a deep breath of the night air: "We're going our separate ways again."

Gein and Walsa stopped fighting after hearing the words, and stopped like Sol.

"Yeah, it's like this growing up. I really miss the days when I was in the academy and could hang out all day." Das said with emotion.

Gein snorted: "Hmph, since we are going to break up, why don't we just be more straightforward. I don't like parting. Don't send me off tomorrow. I will report to the Western Legion by myself."

Walsa also said: "Me too, I will go back to the guild tomorrow."

Glancing at the three of them with a smile, Sol stretched out a hand: "However, no matter where we are, no matter what happens, we will always be..."

"Four masters of Almuk (cheap)!" The other three covered their hands in unison.

"Damn, which bastard said that cheap word just now?"

After watching the three of Darth leave, Thor couldn't help but sighed.Although they are still in the same city for the time being, they have returned to their respective life tracks.

If there is no accident in the future, I am afraid that it will be difficult to have such a chance for the four of them to gather together?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help looking at Kress who had been by his side all the time: "Kress, in fact, I also want to know why you rejected the king's proposal? You should know that it is an excellent opportunity, and you If you agree, I will never object."

Kress scratched his head: "Of course I know, but I have something more I want to do."

"What is it?" Sol couldn't help asking curiously.

"Haha, because I miss Julie." Kress laughed silly.

The defenders on the side immediately burst into laughter, teasing their captain one after another.

"It turns out that the captain is Sichun."

"Julie should be proud, she surpasses a squadron of beauties."

"No, considering the future development, it may even surpass a legion."

"If His Majesty the King knew the truth, would he send the captain to exile?"

……

"You...you..."

Kress was so angry that his face was livid, he suddenly roared, and rushed towards the defenders.

A group of young people immediately went crazy on the streets of the capital at night, attracting the attention of passers-by.

Who would have imagined that these seemingly carefree guys were fighting bloody battles in the most dangerous place in the Lulin occupied area a month ago?
Alas... Looking helplessly at his subordinates, Sol rubbed his forehead.

Speaking of which, I really want to go back to Lovell...

***************************************************** ***************************************************** ***************************************************** ***************************************************** *************
After staying in the royal capital for another two days and rejecting the king's request that he stay to participate in the official ceremony to celebrate the victory of the war, Sol and his party officially set off for Lovell.

And during this period, the situation in Dinard also developed according to the predetermined direction without any surprise.

The fall of the Bahrain Territory brought a huge shock to the Lulin Army in Dinar. After losing the source of logistical support, the hundreds of thousands of troops were completely paralyzed.

At the same time, because the Western Legion recaptured the Sidvila Fortress, the two legions that originally came from Lulin to participate in the war were blocked.

After several consecutive offensives failed, they finally realized that it was impossible to rescue the army in Dinar, so they had no choice but to turn back to the country.

At the same time, the Lulin Army, which had run out of food and grass in Dinar, also began to struggle for survival.

At the beginning, the Lulin army planned to use the remaining combat power to counterattack Bahrain along the southern road, open up the connection with the motherland in one go, and return to the country at worst.

However, the two Dinar armies biting them from the rear and flanks would not allow the other party to go so easily.

Under the personal command of General Pintat, Dinard's army was like crabs pinching their prey, pinning down on Lulin's army, no matter what kind of temptation or harassment the opponent made, they turned a blind eye.

In this way, under the delay of the enemy, the army of hundreds of thousands of Lulin, which could be called huge in the past, but now only appears bloated, only advanced 60 kilometers in a week. While exhausting the last food in the army, it was also completely shattered their counterattack plan.

In desperation, they had no choice but to occupy a certain small town and hold on in vain.

Pintat is naturally so happy. Although the enemy's defeat is certain, hundreds of thousands of troops is not a small number after all. Once desperate, it is easy to defeat the opponent, but it is possible to flee to all parts of Dinar A large number of deserters will also be no small trouble.

In this way, after nearly ten days of stalemate, the commander of the Lulin Army, who was afraid of a cannibal tragedy in the army due to lack of food, finally realized that he had no chance of turning the tables.

If you continue to resist, it will only cause innocent casualties to the soldiers who have left their homes.

Therefore, they made the most helpless and wise decision. For the first time in the history of the Lulin Empire, a huge army of 10 people collectively surrendered to Dinar.

At the same time, this also means that this protracted war, which took more than two years, finally came to an end with Dinar's tragic victory.

What follows is just follow-up issues between the two countries regarding the return of prisoners and war reparations.

After this battle, almost all the elite troops of the Lulin Empire were lost in Dinar.

The four ace troops, the Black Cavalry Corps and the Madman Corps were wiped out, the Yeying Troop suffered heavy losses, and the Mountain Special Corps surrendered with the army, and none of them were spared.

So far, the Lulin Empire, which has been greatly weakened, no longer has the powerful military force that used to conquer and conquer.It is already very reluctant to deal with the endless rebellions in the country, and it is impossible to have the ability to expand outwards for decades.

Coupled with the endless civil strife in the Orc Empire, this war actually brought Dinar to the most peaceful external environment since the founding of the country.

However, as the winner, the Kingdom of Dinar is not much better.

Half of the country has been occupied for more than two years. The protracted war investment and the mobilization of a large amount of manpower and material resources have dealt a devastating blow to Dinar's national strength.

By the end of the war, the kingdom's full treasury had completely bottomed out. Except for the territory of a shameless duke, the population of all the territories in the country had dropped sharply, production had stagnated, and the situation was bleak.

Coupled with a large number of refugees in the country, stretches of barren fields, and a series of problems such as Lulin soldiers who became thieves because they were unwilling to be defeated, they will plague this country for a long time.

Overall, this is a completely pointless war because there is no real winner.

Humans are always so stupid, aren't they?
