alien army

Chapter 23
(A small explosion today, thanks to the brothers who silently supported me, although the number of clicks is not high, it will be fine with you!)
"Master Nalan, you can be said to be famous in the capital of the empire. It's the first time we meet, let me toast you." Naya smiled at Nalan sideways and raised her glass.

"Nalan is ashamed of the princess showing her love. This cup is my toast to the princess." Faced with the princess's sudden toast, Nalan did not panic, stood up and raised his glass in a gentle manner.

"Sit down. Naya has one more thing to ask. What do you think of the current situation in the empire? How long can the peace in the mainland be maintained?" Naya's expectant eyes fell on Nalan.

After hearing what the princess said, everyone stopped talking and waited for Nalan's answer.

"Looking back at the history of the mainland, wars have been far more timed than peace. In the past thousand years, more than 800 years have been spent in wars, and peacetimes have only been more than a hundred years. And our Huoyun Empire has been established for 500 years, and peacetimes have only been fifty years. The remaining years. Now, the empire has spent seven years of peace and is able to recuperate. But the enemy will never leave us for a long time. A strong empire is not what they want. They will weaken the empire through war The national strength. Therefore, I am lying, within three years, the empire will surely reignite the flames of war."

Nalan thought for a moment, then said confidently, "Hundreds of years of history have proven that even if they can't do anything to the empire, they will not sit back and let the empire grow. In fact, after these wars, the empire has never been strong enough to defeat them. "

"What you said is true. The peace of the past few years is extremely rare for the empire. Although the national strength has been restored to a certain extent, it is still far from enough. It seems that in the near future, the cloud of war will hang over again. It's on the Blue Moon Continent." Naya agreed with Nalan's answer, and her worry was palpable.

"Princess, don't worry. When the country is in crisis, it is the time when a man makes great achievements. It is the honor of a nobleman to lead the army and sacrifice for the country." A young nobleman said loudly.

"Aside from talking big, what else do you have?" The princess didn't speak, but only sighed softly.

"In view of this, I believe that what the empire needs to do now is to make preparations in advance. Since war is inevitable, we will try our best to plan ahead." Nalan said again.

"Having said that, with the current financial resources of the empire, if you want to support a protracted war, although you can do your best, you will lose your vitality after the war." A young nobleman sitting not far from Hughes Wen Yan said.

"Then, what good advice does Mr. Nalundo have for future wars?" Naya asked casually after looking at the ordinary-looking nobleman.

She had heard of this Narondo long ago. She was born in a noble family, but she often acted out of the way. Because of her low martial arts skills, she failed to serve in the army, but she liked to point fingers at the military affairs, and the nobles jokingly called her It is called "the general who talks about soldiers on paper".

"I believe that in future wars, we can use the method of supporting wars to loot, burn and kill the occupied enemy areas, weakening the opponent while ensuring our own survival." Narendo seems to be inspired by the princess , expressing his opinion out loud.

As soon as this statement came out, there was an uproar in the hall.Liu Yun also raised his head for the first time, looking for the person who said those words.

"Young Master's words are somewhat reasonable, but if you do this, it may damage the image of the empire, and it is not the action of a big country. Besides, if the enemy is strong and clears the country, what should we do?"

The princess couldn't help shaking her head. Although Na Lun Duo's words were a bit novel, they didn't conform to the practice of continental warfare, and it was very difficult to implement.

"I have another method. After the war breaks out, send a surprise army to break into the enemy's territory and wreak havoc in the rear, causing domestic turmoil. This can effectively support the frontline battlefield." Without noticing the reactions of the people around him, Naron He raised his voice again.

He looked very excited, because it was very difficult for him to get such an opportunity to show what he had learned.

"This person is really a rare talent." Liu Yun sighed after hearing the words.As a former special forces instructor, he is well aware of the importance of fighting to support warfare, and the idea of ​​fighting behind enemy lines he put forward has a taste of modern special operations, and Liu Yun can better appreciate the huge effect once implemented.

"Master Naron, don't you think your words sound like a fairy tale?" Hughes said with a smile.After being robbed of the limelight by Nalan, Hughes was a little angry, so he took it out on him when he came up.

"A surprise soldier breaks into the enemy's territory, do you think the armies of other countries are just decorations? Wreak havoc, even if you can enter the enemy's country, what do you think can be destroyed and how effective it will be? Also, the internal defense forces of other countries will not care about you ?” After throwing a few questions in succession, Hughes smiled smugly.

"This...I think...we can train such a surprise soldier. As for the others, I haven't...thought it out yet." Facing Hughes' question, Narondo was caught off guard and stammered.

Naya also laughed when she heard this. "It seems that this Nalon is really a general on paper."

"Master Naron's suggestion is very novel, but it is difficult to realize it for a while, let's talk about it later."

Seeing his honest and honest appearance, Naya kindly helped him out, then looked at the crowd and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it, one more idea, one more way."

Before this banquet, Naya found that her father seemed to be preparing for the future war, but at the same time he seemed very worried.Therefore, at this banquet, she hoped to help her father find a few available talents and find some coping methods, which could help him to some extent.

"Princess, there is nothing to be afraid of in war. If another war breaks out, Hughes is willing to lead the army to fight, and shed his blood for the empire and the princess." Hughes was very smart, and hurriedly seized the opportunity to express his feelings to the princess .

Naya smiled and nodded, but thinking of the situation after the war, she said melancholy: "The empire is not afraid of war, and the men of the empire are not afraid of war. But if things go on like this, the empire will be weak, and I don't know how long it can last." .”

In the 500-year history of the empire, except for the first emperor and the fourth George IV, none of the emperors was able to expand the territory.

"Princess is overwhelmed. The empire has been established for hundreds of years and has experienced countless wars. The soldiers of the empire have fought bravely, and famous generals have emerged in large numbers, winning victories time and time again. Take the Cade family as an example. Generations of heroes have emerged in large numbers and made outstanding military exploits. War It’s not scary, what’s scary is that future generations forget the glory of their ancestors and don’t seek to make progress.”

Speaking of this, Hughes looked at Liu Yun with sarcasm, every hero needs a coward to accompany him, and he chose Liu Yun as his foil, "What does Viscount Liu Yun Cade think about this? "

Liu Yun was a little drunk at this time, and was resting with his eyes closed. Hearing what Hughes said, he didn't make a sound.While everyone was waiting, there were also small voices of discussion.

After a long time, he opened his eyes and sighed: "When a general succeeds, all bones die, prosperity, the people suffer, and death, the people suffer."

As a soldier, he once had an infinite desire for war, but what he had seen and heard in the Blue Moon Continent made him more aware that the final victims of the melee in the mainland were just ordinary people.

"Then according to Mr. Liuyun's opinion, there is no need to fight this battle? Haha, then we will surrender to the enemy together, and the world will be peaceful, so you can live in peace!" Hughes sarcastically laughed loudly upon hearing this.

Liu Yun didn't care about Hughes' sarcasm, shook his head, picked up his glass again, and stopped talking.

"When did this person become so compassionate?"

Savoring Liu Yun's words, Naya couldn't help but smile bitterly. "Since that's the case, why did you earn your notoriety in the first place?"

"Mr. Liuyun, when you say 'Xing, the people are suffering', do you mean that the people are also suffering in the past few years of peace? Since you think the people are suffering, why bother to harm them? That Kai The girl in Debao is even more miserable. After being killed by you, you used a blood oath to deceive her to sympathize. Are you going to kill her for the rest of your life? You have forgotten that you are a nobleman, why do you have to find such a lowly girl? Where are the civilians?" Hughes' words caused everyone to laugh.

Naya felt that Hughes was going too far, but thinking of the blood oath, she didn't make a sound to stop it. "Maybe, he really needs to be stimulated to change. Otherwise, he will never look like a man."

Hearing Hughes insulting Shui Linger, Liu Yun stood up, with murderous intent in his heart, and said in a cold tone: "Hughes, you can insult me, but you can't insult her! Otherwise, I don't mind using the way of the nobles to solve it. In my eyes, all living beings are equal, and a noble like you is just a parasite on the people. Without these lowly people in your mouth, how can you be precious?"

The loud words made everyone stunned.And Hughes was even more furious, "Do you still want to duel with me? If the princess wasn't here, I would have knocked you down long ago. You're still so awesome, aren't you?"

"Then tell me how the common people are suffering? In the face of this war, as a member of the glorious Cade family, what are your plans?" Hughes said through gritted teeth. The consciousness of the nobles told him that in the Be patient in front of the princess.

"Why do you want to humiliate yourself?" Naya looked at Liu Yun sympathetically, and felt that Hughes had gone too far, so she said to Hughes: "I think Mr. Liu Yun is drunk, Hughes Don't argue with him, don't ask any more."

After Liu Yun finished speaking, he sat down and continued to drink.But when he heard Naya's words and looked at the figure that resembled "her", his heart was "fired" with anger. "Why, you look down on me so much? Why don't you look down at your suffering people when you are so high up?"

"Bah!" Liu Yun slapped the table in front of him, with a bit of drunkenness, Liu Yun looked around the crowd, then looked deeply at the princess, and said angrily:
"I'm drunk, but I'm not drunk like most people, my eyes can still clearly see what's going on in this world!
In this world, there is a kind of person, if you give him a bite of food, he will thank you; if you give him a silver coin, he will kowtow in thanks; if you give him a job, he will lie down and kiss the sole of your shoe!In the night of thunder and lightning, they huddled in the corner of the street and whined softly; in the daytime when the sun was scorching hot, they ran in the market and struggled to survive.In the icy and snowy winter, they can only hopelessly wait for the god of death to come.

Who are they?I don't know who they are, I only know that their father or elder brother are soldiers who died fighting for the empire!

Today, such vagrants can be seen everywhere in the empire.When their relatives shed their last drop of blood for the empire, for you so-called nobles, you took their fields and forced these children to live on the streets to fend for themselves!Even if one day they are lucky enough to survive and grow up, they have to go to the battlefield for you to continue another tragedy! "

Having said that, he turned around to look at Hughes, and slowly asked, "Master Hughes, if you were them, would you say it was hard?"

Houston was speechless for a moment and stood there blankly.

"The continental war has been fought for hundreds of years. What is it for? In the final analysis, it was just for the nobles to fight for land and wealth. The people silently supported the empire's war. What did they get? It's just that the never-ending pain and Disaster. I am not afraid of war, but I will never fight for nobles!"

Liu Yun finally said with emotion.As a former professional soldier, he has his own persistence and arrogance.In the previous life, many powerful people paid a lot of money to invite him, but he flatly refused.He is not afraid of war, but only fights for the country, the people, relatives, friends and lovers.

Picking up the wine glass in front of him, he drank it all in one gulp, ignoring everyone's reactions, Liu Yun turned around and saluted the princess, "Your Highness, Liu Yun is drunk, let's rest outside for a while. If the princess is not drunk, you might as well open your noble Eyes, look at the people of the empire, even if it's just pity!"

After speaking, Liu Yun strode out of the hall, leaving only a group of people stunned.

If anyone is an exception, it is Alei and Jinglei.They were also surprised by the second brother's behavior, but they were in a good mood at the moment, because Liu Yun suddenly became their pride.
