Chapter 699 Negotiation

Chengfeng dodged it easily.

But Ji Feng was still a little panicked subconsciously.

It had been shot by a crossbow before, and had some trauma in its body, but it had eaten the mother Gu and evolved once, and its speed and reaction ability had increased significantly.

It won't be as easy to get hit by an arrow as before.

To be on the safe side, Jiang Lianzhu ordered Ji Feng to descend and return to the safe position on the city wall.

Only Liao Jiu rode on Chengfeng, soaring in the sky, and crossbow arrows rained down, but not a single one hit it.

This also annoyed Chengfeng, who swooped down and flapped his big wings, blowing a group of people away on the spot and tearing a crossbow cart to pieces.

The eagle's claws were like steel, very powerful, and had sharp eyesight. It could go down directly and tear the creature to pieces with both claws.

Very cruel.

Suddenly, a horn sounded in the Aquarius army!

This is the horn sound for emergency retreat!

The attack is in progress, and the soldiers besieging the city begin to retreat...

Jiang Lianzhu saw from the city wall that the soldiers of Aquarius Kingdom began to retreat like a tide, away from Moon City.

Liao Jiu came back riding Chengfeng.

"What happened? Did they withdraw their troops?"

General Jiang also hurried over.

"Lord Regent!"

The three of them were a little puzzled. No matter what, this wave of siege was over, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.

General Jiang said, "Thank goodness the two gentlemen returned early. I saw that they intended to take over Yuecheng quickly while the two gentlemen were away. I didn't expect the two gentlemen to return so quickly. The two gentlemen were so powerful, so they retreated."

Jiang Lianzhu felt something was wrong. "Maybe they have some conspiracy or some other reason we don't know about, so they retreated."

As he was speaking, a man holding a white flag appeared outside the city. He was a messenger delivering a letter of conversation.

When two armies fight, they do not kill envoys.

This man came to deliver a letter, so a small door in the city gate opened and several fully armed soldiers came out and took the letter from Aquarius.

It was quickly presented to General Jiang on the city wall.

General Jiang glanced around briefly. "These damned bastards, are they going to negotiate again? They just said that our Da'an Nation deceived them, that we wanted to delay time, and now they want to negotiate again?"

Quickly hand the letter to Jiang Lianzhu and his wife.

The letter said to give Da'an Kingdom a chance.

Invite the left and right regents to negotiate as scheduled. Only the two of them are allowed to go, and no one else is allowed. If they dare to go, then we can negotiate. If they don't, then they are not sincere. This war must be fought...

Liao Jiu and his wife said nothing after reading it.

General Jiang said, "We can negotiate, but we can't do it the way they are doing it. The two adults will go, and I will go, and I will bring a personal guard to protect the adults!"

Jiang Lianzhu said, "No need, just do as they say, reply to the letter, and go to the negotiation meeting as scheduled tomorrow."

It would be difficult to travel if you bring too many people.

General Jiang was anxious. "My Lords, this negotiation request is clearly malicious. We cannot be fooled by them. They must have plans against you. My Lords, even if they attack, our Da'an Nation will be a big deal. We will lose a Moon City. If..."

If one of the two regents were missing, it would be a great loss.

The dead cannot be resurrected, but the city can be taken back if it is lost.

The people in the city are almost done migrating anyway.

General Jiang was also afraid of being blamed by the court. He couldn't defend the city. Now was a special case, and he might not be sentenced to death. But if a regent was killed in their Yuecheng, he would really have to pay with his head.

Jiang Lianzhu stopped him from continuing, "It's okay, just the two of us. No matter what, we will definitely come back. You can't get a tiger cub without learning from it."

Liao Jiu pondered for a moment. "Going deep into the enemy camp will give us a better idea of their true strengths and what trump cards they have. This time, the Five-Nation Alliance has been acting rather arrogantly and erratically. It would be a good idea for us to go and test their strength. If the negotiations fail, we can come back and, as we agreed beforehand, delay for a day until the Blood Battle Army from Shangrao City arrives..."

Both of them were fearless and insisted on keeping the appointment, and General Jiang had no choice.

We can only pray that the Blood Battle Army arrives soon.

I was so panicked.

He didn't sleep well in the middle of the night and wrote several petitions to explain the situation to the court.

The next morning, General Chiang had two big dark circles under his eyes.

Firstly, he was worried about the war, and secondly, he was concerned that the Regent would go out for peace talks.

No matter how he tried to persuade the two regents, it was of no use, so he had no choice but to make up his mind.

The two regents were released.

***

Jiang Lianzhu and Liao Jiu didn't sleep much either.

They patrolled Moon City all night, strengthening its defenses and installing electric grids along easily climbable sections of the city walls. If anyone tried to climb up, they would be electrocuted to death.

She also added some crossbow carts to the city walls, but she couldn't use the hot weapons in the armory.

All the cold weapons were taken out.

Any extra security is appreciated.

Liao Jiu used his retractable Flying Tiger Claw to personally climb up and down the city walls, busying himself with laying mines...

Jiang Lianzhu secretly took out these mines and asked Liao Jiu to bury them personally, for fear that others would accidentally detonate them.

Many of them were buried in key locations outside the city.

There are also various useful traps set up.

Jiang Lianzhu's arsenal is invincible in single combat or small-scale conflicts.

However, when faced with such a large-scale battle, it is still a little difficult and not that useful. You can only rely on accumulation and cannot produce too many things at once.

For a force of 100,000 people attacking a city, it was just a drop in the bucket.

She can only do her best and try her best to improve a little bit.

The next day, General Jiang escorted them out of the city.

The two of them rode two horses and went to the Aquarius camp outside the city.

Without the golden eagle, the situation is not clear for the time being. Now that they are the invited party, they will not be in danger for the time being, so let the golden eagle preserve some strength first.

Appear again in times of crisis.

Led by the soldiers, the two came to the general's tent of the Aquarius army camp.

The place is already full of people.

There were all kinds of people, wearing different clothes, all of them were warriors wearing swords and armor. At first glance, they were the generals of the Five-Nation Alliance who had a say.

The leader was a great general from the Aquarius Kingdom.

Beard, sturdy body, dark face

He greeted Jiang Lianzhu and his wife with a forced smile.

"Welcome, my Lord Regents of Da'an. I thought you wouldn't dare come, but you've actually come. I admire your courage. Let me introduce myself..."

He was the general of the first legion of Aquarius Kingdom. His surname was Gu and his name was Gu Qie.

He was considered a fierce general in the Aquarius Kingdom and had a great reputation. He had led troops to fight several times before, and except for the time when he encountered the Blood Battle Army of the Da'an Kingdom, he was unable to defeat it, he had never been defeated.
