lyra sleepless

"The first thing you do when you come back is to restore You Jing's reputation?" Su Se's pale pupils shrank suddenly, looking like an irritated cat.

"One of the reasons for the rebellion of the He'an Army is the injustice suffered by Youjia! Now that Youbushu and Youzheng have both died, there is nothing to make up for, but Youjing is still on the wanted list!" Yegor clenched his fist .

"Don't make such absurd excuses, Yegor. Now that you have cleared Youjia's grievances, Yan Jing will not return to the Republic with the River Bank Army."

Yegor tried his best to be peaceful. His voice was slow, but he could not veto it: "I want to ease the conflict between the two sides. In fact, if Lu Mingyang wins this game, I want to make peace with the empire."

Su Se was taken aback by the categorical word "negotiation and peace". He barely continued to maintain a mocking smile: "Negotiation peace, what is the difference between this and surrender?"

Yegor patiently explained: "We can keep the provinces that have not yet fallen. If we are lucky, we can recover a few more. This is almost the territory of the Republic before the Hundred Years' War."

"You're dreaming," Suther interrupted him mercilessly, "the lion is only one bite away from biting the throat of its prey, how can they give up the entire Lyra that they are about to get, relying on you..."

Relive the mandarin dream of you and the opposing coach?His words had already reached his lips, and he swallowed them again. He had different positions and opinions from Yegor, but he didn't want to slander this friend.

"Pay close attention to what has happened in the past few months, Suther. The empire is not monolithic as originally thought. If you lose a battle, the crown prince will have to preside over the overall situation himself, and if you lose a general, his courtiers will start to fall apart. Now The cohesion of the empire is only due to the tense battle situation. It is our enemies who hold the entire empire together so that they can hold together. But after the war, everything will be different. The crown prince loses the aura of military genius, and he will face That's right, there are three forces twisted together: arrogant imperials, short-sighted immigrants, and former republicans full of hatred. This is not a dilemma that can be solved by the charm of the ruler, and the ruling order must be established from scratch. More The terrible thing is that he has no one available. A strategist and general in war does not mean that he is also a competent subject in peacetime. If he is as wise and powerful as in the legend, he should have foreseen this! In this way, for him The safest option is to take back his ancestral territory, whose inhabitants have not completely forgotten the empire of 20 years ago, and whose rule is less likely to disintegrate."

He should have thought about it for a long time, and when he said that his sickly face flushed with excitement at the end: "If we win another battle, this fragile alliance may be on the verge of rupture before the end of the war. I will Going to negotiate in person is not at all unsure."

Su Se looked at his face for a long time, and asked, "Yege, even if the next development is as you said, do you think you will be grateful?"

"No," Yegor replied without hesitation. "The people don't have the ambition to conquer the territory, but they will never tolerate the humiliation of handing over the country to others. But now they have no choice."

"Soldiers are willing to die. Those Argos youths, I have seen them."

"And I've seen hell on earth," Yegor said quietly, "in Hades, bloody youths everywhere, and I've heard some of them die in clear weather When they could only groan in that voice... I felt how the pulse of a guard gradually lost its beating. The soldiers held weapons, and behind them was the country and relatives, but what about the unarmed civilians? Why let them bear all the blood and tears, just for a meaningless glory in the history books of future generations?"

His gray pupils were like Orpheus sinking into the evening sky, no longer the joy and glory of the past.But instead of his once sharp eyes piercing into people's hearts, he questioned one after another.

"If the history books have to fill that blank page, they can pin me on it."

Light rain began to fall from the sky, and the rain was like a thread. In the light refracted by the satellite, a faint purple color fell on the body.The material of the clothes favored by the Orpheus people will not be soaked by water, and the water droplets only slide down Yegor's hair and flow to the neck and collarbone.

Su Se couldn't help putting on his coat and hat for him, and said softly, "You can't get wet in the rain."

Yegor moved closer to him, and now he looked more like the fragile crystal doll when he was a child, squatting with Suther in the garden of Helian's house to harm the roses.The guards followed them from a distance, not daring to go forward, let alone hear what they said clearly.

Yegor looked up at him, his eyes unfocused, but with a pleading sincerity in his expression: "I have no selfishness. I used to dream of clearing You Jing's innocence, but this time I really have no selfishness."

He backed away a little, but his voice was lower and more indifferent: "I don't know why you are with Lu Mingyang, maybe you have some intentions, but if you block my way, I will not show mercy."

Yegor turned and left, and the guards immediately ran forward, hugged him and walked towards the Consulate. With such a huge formation and strict guarding, he still looked so thin that he was about to be wet by the rain.

Suther stayed on the empty rainy road, and soon someone came up and kindly reminded him that Orpheus at night was not as safe as before the war.Since the departure of the Acropolis Army, the Capital Star has implemented comprehensive air defense control, but every night, civilians privately drive starships into the sky, trying to escape from the Lyra and go into exile before the Republic fell completely.When the Ministry of Internal Affairs arrests these people, it is easy to accidentally injure innocent people.
