People in Terra, poor and weak but invincible

Chapter 1103: Smiling with the wind in your favor, not smiling with the wind against you

"Carmen, after this battle, Iberia will not only have a period of peace, but it will also be completely at peace."

The shapeshifter-turned-Liberian man suddenly appeared from behind Carmen and the Pope.

The two were already used to the shapeshifters' elusiveness, but they couldn't help but be startled when they heard that seemingly joking statement.

"Mr. Shapeshifter is joking again." Carmen smiled bitterly.

The shapeshifter smiled but said nothing.

Carmen's smile faded. "You're kidding, right?"

"That shouldn't be the case." The shapeshifter deliberately put on a distressed look, "You have personally experienced the Great Silence, you shouldn't be so naive about the meaning of the four words 'world destruction'.

Let me tell you the latest news. Kal'tsit is trying to persuade Agor's city to move to the land, but unfortunately the progress is not going smoothly. Agor's governor Clemensa is still in a state of hesitation. "

Carmen's breathing was a little disordered, and she lowered her voice and said quickly:

“Why did the situation suddenly evolve to this point?”

"Is it possible that we have all been kept in the dark by Qi Yan?" The Shapeshifter shrugged innocently. "That guy has been waiting for this opportunity from the beginning."

The Pope could not help but interject:

"Why did Qi Yan do this?"

The shapeshifter spread his hands: "Save the world!"

The halo on the Pope's head flickered, and he also smiled bitterly:

"Couldn't he have told us in advance so that we could be mentally prepared?"

The shapeshifter's tone remained unchanged: "That's right!"

Pope: "...I wonder what plans you, the Shapeshifter, have now?"

Shapeshifter: "Just die!"

The three of them stared at each other.

Carmen and the Pope wanted to pin the still unruly Transformer to the ground and beat him up on the spot.

But considering that the other party not only did not leave secretly, but instead showed up and reminded us, it was obvious that he was ready to help.

Such a powerful helper must not be driven away by oneself.

Carmen coughed lightly, trying to suppress the impulse in her heart, and asked:

"I wonder how many individuals you have here right now?"

"Ninety!"

"..."

The corners of Carmen's mouth twitched uncontrollably.

He seriously suspected that there were far more shapeshifters in Granfalow than this number, and he just revealed this number just for the sake of playing with this damn pun.

"Carmen, let's consider the current situation first."

The Pope interrupted Carmen's wandering thoughts and glanced at the envoys from various countries gathered in the central square.

Should he conceal the news and allow this group of people and the subsequent supporting troops to become his own combat force?

Or should we be frank and honest with them, telling them the outrageous level of this battle and asking them to withdraw immediately to save themselves?

Carmen received the hint from the Pope and after hesitating for just a moment, she realized that she actually had no choice at all.

"Mr. Shapeshifter, please explain the situation directly to everyone present." Carmen lowered her eyes.

"Have you made up your mind?"

"Yes." Carmen said softly, "The countries that have arrived in Iberia today may not have the intention of simply helping Iberia, but they have undoubtedly played a positive role.

In this situation, Iberia cannot just think about itself and take advantage of the good intentions of these countries. "

"Is this the pride of Iberia?" the shapeshifter asked with a smile.

Carmen shook her head: "Iberia has its own pride, but this has nothing to do with pride... After all, if the other countries suffer heavy losses, they will definitely not let Iberia go afterwards."

"makes sense."

The shapeshifter seemed satisfied with this answer.

He turned around, slowly squeezed through the crowd, and came to the Rhodes Island team in the center.

Thorn and Qilin noticed him, and the others noticed him too.

Under such circumstances, the shapeshifter suddenly raised his arms and said loudly:

"Everyone look at us, we have something to announce!"

Everyone:?

"Qi Yan has betrayed us again!"

"Oh, I thought it was something else."

"Where did Qi Yan go this time when he rebelled? Agor? Hai Si?"

"By the way, are there any spots left for the rebellious team?"

A group of people rolled their eyes collectively. They were already accustomed to Qi Yan's betrayal, and many people even took the opportunity to make jokes.

The shapeshifter was not surprised at all, and added with a smile:

"It doesn't matter which camp he defected to. What's important is that he tried to send Qi Lin away before, so he didn't know that Qi Lin had secretly stayed."

The bustling crowd suddenly became quiet.

Countless eyes were fixed on Qi Lin.

Facing these gazes, Qi Lin had no intention of hiding anything and nodded frankly in affirmation.

At this moment, the people who were talking and laughing just now suddenly panicked.

"In fact, the Rhodes Island team had no plan to go to Granfalo." Thorn calmly added a killing blow.

The crowd took a step back in unison.

The shapeshifter glanced around and saw the fear and dread on people's faces.

He was not surprised; this was the reaction he had deliberately caused.

He said loudly: "Everyone, it's not too late to leave now. We have already explained the situation to Lord Carmen. Any action you take will be fully supported by Iberia."

Carmen also stepped forward at the right time, came to the center of the crowd and bowed slightly to the envoys around him:

“Iberia is grateful to everyone for coming from afar. Iberia will never forget your efforts. I am currently unable to determine the extent to which the fight between Qi Yan and Hai Si will affect the country.

But conservatively speaking, I am afraid that half of Iberia’s territory will be affected, so please take action immediately.”

The envoys from various countries looked at each other in bewilderment; no one dared to speak freely under such circumstances.

Until someone in the crowd asked tentatively:

"Is there anything we can do?"

Carmen said sincerely: "If possible, I hope you can leave some of the supplies you brought with you. This is very important for Iberia to build a defense line."

"Your Excellency Saint, aren't you going to retreat temporarily?" the man asked in surprise.

"Sorry, this is Iberia, I have no way to retreat." Carmen forced a bitter smile, "The Great Silence caused a large area of ​​Iberia to sink into the ocean, and the soil in the coastal areas became salinized.

But Iberia did not retreat. The Great Silence was only a rumor in other countries, and now, Iberia will not retreat either.

If after this war, the ocean calms down and there is no more danger, if Iberia still exists in the world, Iberia will not forget the great help from all countries today. "

Having said this, he paused for a moment.

Then he spoke again: "If after this battle, Iberia becomes an article in history books, I hope you will remember that Iberia is a witness to the peaceful times of the future, and we once stood at the forefront of this land!"

The central square of Granfalo was completely quiet, with only the gentle sea breeze bringing the cries of the Inquisition troops transporting supplies and building defenses from the distant coastline.

After a period of silence that Carmen felt was the longest in her life, a voice came from the delegation.

"I'm sorry, Saint, your spirit is touching, but we are powerless to help Iberia."

"We will leave the supplies behind and only take the most basic operational supplies."

"Your Excellency Saint, we will build a camp outside the Iberian border, where the Iberian civilians will receive basic accommodation... but this is all we can do."
