"War is unstoppable?" Princess Rusi subconsciously wanted to contradict him, but suddenly stopped. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The war seems to be really unstoppable, just as the war on the surface continues, and these two countries are definitely going to fight.
War is unstoppable. After the conflict of interests between the two countries intensifies to a certain extent, there will inevitably be an armed struggle, and the problems that cannot be solved by communication can only be solved by using the most instinctive fangs and claws of living creatures to solve the opponent.
"You should know, princess, if two countries are at war, will there be more deaths in a long-term war, or will there be more deaths in a short-term war?" asked the lord of Boone City.
"Of course, it's a long war. Princess Sisi said.
The longer the war, the more battles will be, the more soldiers will be sacrificed, and the number of civilians who will die in the war is even more incalculable.
It's just that, generally speaking, the emperors of the two sides will not consult each other. They would continue to attack for the sake of their own greater gain, perhaps because of a greedy move by the Emperor who could prolong the war for months.
However, this war is different. With "consultation", the problem will be easy to solve.
Boone City is an important fortress of the Al Ain Empire, and if it is lost, it will not only allow the enemy to drive straight in, but also take a big blow to morale. If it is said that it is directly turned to the Steele Empire, then the situation of this war will indeed change very much.
Such a huge change will lead to a huge disadvantage for Ain from the balance of power between the two sides, and if he continues to attack like this, he may be directly destroyed.
Princess Sisi looked at the city lord in front of her. His betrayal may indeed have shortened the war and saved many people from death, but ...... He is a person who has betrayed the sovereign! In the eyes of the people of the Floating Continent who value faithfulness, such behavior is brazen and spurned.
"Which is more important, personal reputation, or millions, tens of millions of lives?" said the Lord of Boone City with some self-deprecation, "I may be recorded as a shameless traitor by the historians, and even the Steele Empire will consider me a vassal and not trust, but surely someone will know that I have saved so many lives." ”
He seemed to be laughing at himself, but with a hint of pride.
"Honorable princess, I leave this choice to you!" said the lord of the city, "your orders! I will obey them! Should I betray my brother, my lord, and go to the enemy of the millennia?"
Yes, Princess Rusi can completely threaten the city lord to stop acting. Whether it is Ain or Steele, they are just small and insignificant countries in the eyes of the Floating Continent, and it is easy to eliminate these two countries. But can she really do that?
As he asked, which is more important, a person's reputation, or the lives of tens of millions of people?
"You want me to ...... to instruct a person...... Treachery...... I ......" Princess Prisi's eyes widened, and tears flowed in them.
The answer is clear. Princess Sisi was smart, and she knew what would happen if she ordered him to stop. The lord will defend the city with all his might until the people here die.
Then, many more will die.
Base...... There's no choice.
