Hatra really wanted to talk to Night Blade Dance. At least, he wanted to know exactly why Night Blade Dance came.
Wu Lai naturally would not give him such an opportunity.
So until the banquet was over, Hatra was unable to get what he wanted by enduring humiliation.
Ye Renwu had guessed this would happen, but she could do nothing but give Hatra an apologetic look.
After Caesar unlocked his shackles, Hatra stood up and before leaving, he turned around and glared at Night Blade Dancer.
This look made Ye Renwu feel helpless.
"Stay." Wu Lai stopped Ye Jianwu who was about to get up and leave, "Would you like to chat for a few minutes?"
Ye Jianwu sat down again: "Wu Lai, if I have the chance, I will definitely burn your ship."
Wu Lai was startled, turned around and snapped his fingers at a maid.
After the maid bowed her head and approached, Wu Lai smiled slightly and said, "No fire is allowed in General Ye Jianwu's room."
"As you wish, my lord," the maid replied, bowing.
"You..." Ye Renwu was furious. She had just said it casually, but she didn't expect that Wu Lai was the kind of person who would not suffer any loss and actually planned to blind her.
"I was just kidding." Wu Lai suddenly laughed out loud, and while waving his hand at the maid to signal her to leave, he continued, "Seeing you look so stern, I couldn't bear it, so I just wanted to make you happy, but I didn't expect you to actually believe it. When did the hospitality of my Grimm's family become so unbearable?"
"Humph." Ye Renwu sneered, "It's already in your hands, Wu Lai, you can do whatever you want."
Wu Lai nodded: "That's right, I guess... before you left, you made arrangements for both Titania and Armenia."
"This is perfectly normal." A hint of sneer flashed across Ye Renwu's eyes. Although she had to come here alone, Titania was surrounded on three sides, so how could she just ignore it? She had even made plans to defend if she could, and retreat if she couldn't.
"I have also made arrangements, arrangements targeting you." Wu Lai said with a smile, "You must have made two plans, one for defense and one for retreat. First, defend. If you can't defend, you can slip away to Menia. Some of them will go into the city, and some will stay in the wild, robbing houses and becoming bandits. This way you can support yourself and wait for opportunities to harass, right?"
Ye Renwu looked at Wu Lai for a moment and nodded slightly.
"Do you know why I have surrounded Titania on three sides but have not taken any action yet?" Wu Lai asked.
"You want to win without fighting, force us to evacuate, and then advance step by step to surround Menia. Then, by continuously shrinking the encirclement and compressing our army's range of activities, you can finally achieve encirclement. Am I right?" asked Ye Renwu.
"That's about right. I do think so about Armenia," Wu Lei said with a smile, "but Titania is a little different from what you said."
"Oh?" Ye Renwu frowned again.
"The reason why I haven't taken action yet is because I haven't achieved the encirclement on all sides." Wu Lai stared into Night Blade Dance's eyes and said word by word, "My condition for starting a fight is to ensure that I can surround and kill you, so that you can't escape."
Surrounded from all sides?! Ye Renwu's heart couldn't help but skip a beat: "Wu Lai, there are so many Assyrian civilians in Titania, aren't you afraid of hurting innocent people?"
Wu Lai smiled and shook his head: "The people can understand a few innocent deaths and injuries, because they know that without them, there would be no victory. Moreover, in every bloody battle, the casualties of soldiers are far greater than those of civilians. If they risk the casualties, they can escape the fate of being enslaved for generations. There is no need to guide them on what to choose."
"If that's the case, why did you ask me to come here?" Ye Renwu asked with a frown. Yes, since Wu Lai had already made plans to surround the enemy from all sides and defeat them in one fell swoop, why did he have to trick his chief general into coming to Assyria?
Wu Lai immediately gave the answer: "Because although you are young, you have strong military command ability and battlefield adaptability. If you compete head-on, I am afraid that among the manpower surrounding Titania, only Wei Huo can compete with you. So, I want to be more cautious, so I took advantage of this good opportunity of Hatra."
"I see." Ye Renwu's eyebrows jumped.
"Not only that, there is another important reason, that is, I think you, Night Blade Dancer, are a rare talent, and I can't bear to let you die in the chaos of war." Wu Lai said.
Ye Renwu stared at Wu Lai in a daze for a long time, then sighed softly in his heart and said, "So, you are planning to imprison me forever."
"You guessed half right again." Wu Lai smiled...
…
Hatra was taken into an unfamiliar cabin.
Just as Woolley had said, this cabin was undoubtedly much better than the one Hatra had stayed in before. It even had a small porthole through which he could see the scenery outside. Of course, it was already late at night, and he could not see anything outside the window except for the light of a few torches.
After sitting on the chair for a while, Hatra stood up with a frown. After holding his breath for two breaths, he tiptoed to the door and put his ear against it.
Outside the door, two people were talking.
After hearing just two sentences, Hatra's heart sank, because he realized that the people who were speaking were Wu Lai and Ye Renwu.
"I'll go to your room and sit for a while," said Wu Lai.
"Okay." There seemed to be a hint of happiness in Ye Jianwu's voice...
Then, Hatra heard the sound of a door being pushed open...
Humph, they arranged it next to me! Hatra clenched his fist in anger, walked to the wall on tiptoe, and put his ear close to the wall.
After the door closed, Hatra heard Night Blade Dancer's laughter. While laughing, he said, "Stop it, stop it..."
Helen, how can you keep such a person by your side? And also entrust her with important tasks? Hatra thought as she listened.
"Wuliglindo did this on purpose for me to hear it. Humph, he is showing off. Damn Wuliiglindo..." Hatra cursed in his heart.
After the laughter continued for a while, Hatra heard Night Blade Dancer's voice again: "Oh, Wu Lai, you ruined my clothes."
"Then I will make you some new ones. Assyrian clothes are much better looking than Tianjuan's." Wu Lai said.
"Then..." Night Blade Dance hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, but I won't tell Hatra about it, he will notice it."
"What does it matter if you noticed? After I hand him over to you, you can just send him back to Tianjuan, and then we can..." Wu Lai's voice suddenly lowered. Hatra hurriedly put his ear closer to him and only heard it vaguely, but he also missed a sentence or two, "...when Armenia is recovered, you will be an archon in Titania for me, how about that?"
"I don't want to be a consul. I want to be with you. Wherever you go, I will go." Ye Renwu's angry voice faintly reached Hatra's ears.
This bitch, Hatra cursed inwardly.
"That's no problem at all, but you have to handle the Menia matter beautifully for me. You know, I don't have many troops on hand, and I'm afraid that the Tianjuan Army will concentrate their forces to defend. You should find a way to disperse the troops, let them break up into small groups, and then I will defeat them one by one." Wu Lai said.
"Why do you have so few soldiers? I've given all of Titania to you, and you still can't spare some troops?" Ye Renwu's voice sounded a little surprised.
"We have freed up some troops, but as you know, ambushes and interceptions in the wild are very time-consuming," Wu Lai said again.
"I'll try my best. By the way, when are you going to release Hatra? Also, when will I go back?"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"Hahaha, why do you want to go back? Just write a letter and stamp it with your seal. I will find someone who can speak Tianjuan language to send it to Menia. If you think it is not enough, just tell him a few words when I release Hatra. He is so stupid, why doesn't he do what you say?" Wu Lai said with a smile.
"You mean, I should stay with you now, right?" Ye Renwu's voice suddenly became louder, and she was obviously very happy.
"Of course, my dear, you miss me so much. Come, let me kiss you first."
"No..."
When Hatra heard this, he was shocked and suspicious. He was shocked that Ye Renwu was indeed close to Wu Lai, and he was suspicious because what he heard was not only hard to tell whether it was true or not, but it sounded like someone had deliberately let him hear it.
What's going on? Just as Hatra was thinking about this, there was a slight knock on the door.
Hatra hurriedly left the wainscoting and walked quickly to the bedside. Before he sat down, the door was pushed open and a huge head poked in.
"Hey, hey, sorry, I sent you to the wrong room." Caesar poked his head in and grinned, waving at Hartla, "Hurry, hurry, this is not your room."
Hatra was startled, and then he stood up quickly, dragging his anklet towards Caesar. When he was still two or three steps away from the door, Caesar's "bear arm" had already reached out and hugged his shoulders. He immediately lowered his voice and said, "I'm warning you, you are a prisoner. You are not allowed to tell anyone that you were sent to the wrong room."
Hatra glanced at Caesar and nodded slightly.
"Go." Caesar dragged Hatra out of the door...
After a while, Hatra was "thrown" into another unfamiliar cabin by Caesar: "Stay there peacefully and don't cause trouble for us."
"Don't worry." Hartra smiled slightly. He could see that Caesar was tall but not smart. If he argued with this idiot, he would be a fool himself.
"Good night." Caesar closed the door.
Hatera narrowed his eyes and looked up at the ceiling.
"It turns out I read the wrong number of floors..." he said to himself.
At the same time, in the room where Hatra had just "eavesdropped", Wu Lai was sitting upright on a large chair, and a few steps away on the large bed, a beautiful body was twisting, laughing, and moaning...
There were two knocks on the door, a pause, and then two more.
"Okay, Nivea." Wu Lai smiled and waved at the woman on the bed.
"Is it okay now?" The woman on the bed stopped twisting immediately. Her rosy face and watery eyes were none other than Nivea, a middle-aged woman who still had charm.
"Of course. If you keep humming like that, I'll eat you up," Wu Lai joked.
"Lord, High Priest, please stop joking. Each of your wives is stunningly beautiful. How could they be interested in someone like me?" Nivea giggled and said as she stood up and fixed her hair.
"I've known about your ability for so long, and today it finally came in handy. Thank you for your hard work today. You've been pretending to be a maid for the whole day, and I'm sorry for it." Wu Lai nodded and said.
"Lord, you are too polite. It's my duty to do things for you. Besides, if I don't pretend to be a maid and stand next to you two, how can I imitate the voice of General Night Blade Dance?" Nivea said with a smile.
"It is my habit to reward merits and punish faults. Today's resumption of production at the tobacco factory is a great contribution. Tell me, what do you want me to reward you with?" Wu Lai asked seriously.
Nivea quickly shook her head: "The lord's trust in my wife is already the greatest reward."
Wu Lai laughed, but didn't force it anymore.
…
The difficulty of attacking Titania was beyond Putin's imagination.
After blasting open the four city gates, Bailey's Fourth Division, Sarres' Fifth Division, a division of the Annan Army and his Sixth Division launched an attack at the same time.
In the minds of Protonbeli and others, it would be difficult for Titania to defend against such an attack without distinguishing between the primary and the secondary, because the defensive forces of the city of Titania were only half of the offensive forces, and the situation of attacking from all four gates would force the defenders to share their forces equally...
But this is really just a hypothesis. In fact, the development of the war is very different from what Pu Tong and others planned...
