Chapter 1175: Staged Results
The Ancient Dream Saintess stared at Meng Chao with an incredulous gaze.
After a moment, she let out a dry laugh that was either sarcastic or fearful.
“You want to make the Great Horn Army surrender? How is that possible!”
Her body trembled slightly, but her expression was one of disdain.
“If ‘Jackal’ Kanus has nothing to do with the Great Horn Army, it is indeed impossible to make so many fanatics who have faith in the Big-horned Rat God put down their weapons and abandon their faith.”
Meng Chao sensed the hesitation in the deepest part of the Ancient Dream Saintess’ subconscious, and his tone became increasingly certain. “However, what if I am unfortunate enough to say that the so-called great horn rat god is really an illusory idol created by ‘Jackal’kanus, and even you, the spokesman of the Rat God in Tulanze, are a marionette that he controls remotely without knowing anything about it?
“Although I don’t know exactly how canus the Jackal operates.
“But I believe he has a hundred ways to destroy the faith of all the soldiers of the Bighorn Army in an instant — for, in a sense, it is not they who have betrayed the Bighorn Rat God, but the Bighorn Rat God who has betrayed them!
“As the commander-in-chief, you should know better than I do the current situation of the Great Horn Army’s food and ordnance consumption. To put it bluntly, many of the second-line troops are in a dire situation of running out of ammunition and food. It is all because of the rat people’s loyalty to the Rat God that they are clenching their teeth and holding on.
“If their faith collapses instantly, do you think that they, whose brains and stomachs are also empty, will put down their weapons and surrender to the wolf rangers who are surrounding them on a large scale?
“I believe that the Wolf Rangers under Kanus’personal command will not even need to use a single soldier, a knife, or a spear. They will only need to place hundreds of buckets of sweet, thick, and steaming yoghurt to boil the datura paste at the border of the two armies. Then, the Great Horn Legion, which has lost its faith and will to fight, will be completely disintegrated!
“Then, this is the end of the ‘Great Horn Riot’!”
The ancient Dream Saintess tried her best to keep a straight face and tried to suppress all her emotions.
However, the two rows of teeth that she kept clashing with had already exposed all her emotions.
“Evidence!”
She said in a hoarse voice, “You’ve been talking nonsense in my dream for a long time, but you can’t come up with any real evidence. Do you think that I’ll believe such a ridiculous thing with just a few casual words?”
“That’s right. I don’t have any evidence. All the speculations above are just one possibility. Moreover, judging from the current situation, the probability of it happening is extremely low.”
Meng Chao said calmly, “But I’ve heard that, as the commander of thousands of troops and the commander of the fate of thousands of people, before considering victory, you must consider all the possibilities of failure and come up with a countermeasure against each possibility. At the very least, you must leave a way out so that you won’t be completely wiped out!
“I know that I can’t completely change the Great Horn Army’s strategy with just a few words.
“I can only beg you, Saintess Gu Meng, to at least leave a way out for the Great Horn Army and the millions of rats. Leave a few seeds and a Hope!”
“A way out?”
Saintess gu meng mumbled, “What do you mean?”
“The Great Horn Army can not place all their hopes on conquering hundred blade city and seizing enough weapons and rations from hundred blade city to advance the next phase of the strategy.”
Meng Chao said, “I strongly suggest that Gu Meng Saintess select a batch of elite soldiers of the White Bone Battalion and lead a portion of the experienced warriors of the Great Horn Army to break out of the encirclement. At the very least, prepare to break out!”
“Break out of the encirclement?”
It was as if Saintess Gu Meng had heard the funniest joke in the world, “Ever since we fought the battle flag of the great horn skeleton with fresh blood, we have been at odds with all the nobles of the five great clans. Although TU Lanze is vast and boundless, there is no longer any place for the mouse warriors to stand. As far as the eye can see, we are surrounded by enemies. Where do you want us to break out of the encirclement?”
“To the south, towards the border between the golden clan and the Bloody Hoof Clan.”
Meng Chao had long planned this. He had a plan in mind, “First, this road is the initial route of the Great Horn Army. The passes and cities along the way have long been broken through by the Great Horn Army. As long as we can break through the blockade of the Wolf clan’s Rangers, there will be a flat land behind us. Even if the wolves, tigers, and leopards see through your intentions, they will not be able to stop you in time.
“Second, the border between the golden clan and the Blood Hoof clan is the original nest of the Great Horn Army. You are very familiar with the terrain there. Although the war resources in the underground base are almost exhausted, supporting a small number of elites to break out of the encirclement and relying on the complicated terrain to deal with the enemy for another three to five months should not be a problem.”
“Hehe, three to five months?”
The ancient Dream Saintess sneered, her eyes fierce, “After three to five months, the great horn army, which has exhausted all its resources and opportunities, is so hungry that it has no way out. What should we do? “Do you think that countless rat compatriots have sacrificed their lives to support us in a grand battle just so that we can live another three to five months?”
“No, we don’t have to wait for another three to five months.”
Meng Chao said calmly, “On the day we escaped back to our nest, no, the moment we decided to break out of the encirclement, the Great Horn Army should have sent an emissary to the Blood Hoof clan to discuss the terms of surrender.”
“What?”
This earth-shattering proposal was literally something that the ancient Dream Saintess had never thought of.
Her dream trembled violently. The thorns on her armor extended again, almost stabbing Meng Chao’s face and the back of his head.
“Say it again. What do you want us to do?”
The Saintess of ancient dream gnashed her teeth and asked, “You want the Great Horn Army to surrender to the Blood Hoof Clan?”
“Wrong. I want the Great Horn Army to send an emissary to discuss the terms of surrender with the Blood Hoof clan. If the terms are not agreed, of course, they will rather die than surrender.”
“Of course,”Meng Chao replied calmly. “Otherwise, other than the terms of surrender, what else can we do to protect Yuan Qi of the Great Horn Army and the hope of all the rats?
“Saintess ancient dream, is it possible that you are still dreaming of ‘Conquering Hundred Blade City and Crimson Gold City with overwhelming force, intimidating the wolves, tigers, leopards, boars, and bulls, and pressing their heads to force them to admit the existence of the sixth clan’?
“Wake up. From the moment the rebel army of the rat people raised the war flag, this was a goal that was absolutely impossible to achieve. Holding on to this daydream as the highest goal and destroying the precious lives of countless rat people for nothing was no different from a monkey who was trying to pick up the Moon from a well?
“The mandala fruit must be eaten one bite at a time, and everything must be done one by one. The shackles that had been binding the rat people for ten thousand years must also be untied piece by piece.
“The Turan civilization has been declining all the way to this day, and it does not have the material foundation to build a beautiful tomorrow where everyone is equal. The rat people will not be able to accomplish all their work in one battle, and they will not be able to sit on the same level as the clan powerhouses who control most of the high-end military forces and strategic resources.
“In fact, I feel that the Great Horn Army has fought hard all the way to this day and has already achieved a stage of victory. We should not continue to advance so rashly that we will lose everything. Instead, we should think of ways to end this temporarily unwinnable war in a dignified manner and ensure that the fruits of victory are already in our pockets.
“What the rodent people want is nothing more than more dignity, rights, and freedom. I feel that since the great horn army has already displayed such formidable combat strength, this isn’t something that can’t be fought over at the negotiation table.
“After all, Tulanze is a place that advocates valor, and the strong are respected. I believe that after this great horn rebellion, the high and mighty clan warriors will surely deeply understand the potential that lies deep within the Rodent People’s bloodline.
“So long as the great horn army can continue to exist, if the clan warriors want to treat the rat people as harshly as they did in the past in the future, the rat people will definitely not swallow their pride and take whatever they want as they did in the past.
“Under such a game, the living conditions and working environment of the rat people will definitely be improved by ten or even a hundred times compared to the past.
“For the time being, this is the best condition that the great horn army can fight for, isn’t it?”
“No!”
“Don’t!”The ancient Dream Saintess roared. “The ‘improvement of conditions’that you are talking about is in exchange for humiliating surrender. If we do that, how will we be worthy of so many mouse warriors who have already sacrificed themselves?
“Besides, once we choose to surrender, it will be equivalent to taking off all our armor and equipment and turning ourselves into a piece of juicy meat on the stove. We will no longer have the ability to protect ourselves and will only be at the mercy of others!
“Who can guarantee that the bloody hoof clan will not turn hostile after accepting us on the surface and tear up the covenant brazenly, turning us into cannon fodder and slaves again?
“If that’s the case, I will become the stupidest sinner in the eyes of the great horn army and the entire rat population
“Therefore, I did not ask you to surrender to the Bloody Hoof clan. I merely asked you to send an ambassador to ‘discuss the terms of surrender’. Can you understand the difference between the two?”
Meng Chao tried his best to persuade them, “Let me say it one more time. Based on the current objective conditions of TU lanze, it is impossible for the rat people to fight for the most complete dignity, freedom, rights, and honor on their own. The more you insist on doing things your own way, the more you will charge into the Abyss where all your troops are annihilated.
“However, it is up to you whether you believe it or not, Tu Lanze. No, it should be said that the entire world, including Tu Lanze and the land of Holy Light, will enter a new era that is unpredictable and unpredictable tomorrow.
“In this unprecedented new era, the situation and conflicts of the entire world will be a hundred times more complicated than today. Whether it’s the wolves and leopards of the Gold clan, the wild boars and bulls of the bloody hoof clan, the Pythons and lizards of the Thunder clan, the Falcons and vultures of the Thunder clan, none of them will be able to focus all their attention on the rats. The Old Order of Tulanze, which was already riddled with holes due to the ‘Great Horn Riot’, will fall apart and vanish into nothingness under the onslaught of the new era.
“By then, the rats will have countless opportunities that are a hundred times better than today, and they will be fighting for more freedom, rights, and resources.
“Besides, you will also receive the help of powerful allies outside of Tulanze. Believe me, the weapons that these allies are willing to sell to you on credit will definitely be much better than the blessings of the ancestral spirits, even if they look unattractive in the eyes of the high-level orcs!
“What you need to do is to lurk in the shadows, endure for a while, and live in the darkest moment before dawn.. That’s all!”
