187.Hello, short man (page 2/2)
Personally, I don't really like vampires in my chain of command. It makes me feel uncomfortable all over..”
“Me too, Marshal.”
Murphy smiled and said：
“I'm not kidding. Although I am also a vampire, I don't like my compatriots who are too vicious. Well, I accept your request. I will give you an explanation that satisfies you..
Now, can we get down to business?？”
“You think beautifully！”
Marshal Loren patted the table and said seriously：
“I apologize to the dignity of all dwarves for your unseemly speech just now! And swear to your Mother of Night that you will never utter that blasphemous word again.！”
“Well.”
Murphy didn't expect Marshal Loren to be so stubborn in this regard. He apologized very seriously and said：
“I'm sorry that I offended your taboos. I sincerely apologize for my rudeness. I will never say that blasphemous word again..”
“But I can’t control what my little players want to say..”
He said this in his heart.
Seeing Murphy's sincere face, Marshal Loren nodded. He put the pipe back on the table, leaned on his Marshal's command knife, and said with a serious face.：
“Just a few days ago, His Excellency Palano, the first lord of the Knights of the Blood Alliance, visited my Majesty. He brought prophecies related to the Black Disaster and urged us to release the 10,000 armed blood servants who were captured in the war. I guess this is your request. You want to use these blood servants to fill the manpower.？”
“Well, to tell you the truth, I urgently need a lot of manpower now. Whether it is to repair the city or build a base in the filthy swamp, I need a lot of manpower..”
Murphy also said seriously：
“So you must send those 10,000 prisoners back to Transia as quickly as possible, just like the agreement I reached with the Kingdom of Nordtof. I don’t care what reason they caused losses to you, 10,000 prisoners That's ten thousand people！
I don’t want more, but I can’t want less either..
You just wiped out 150,000 people in Transia in one go. This put a terrible pressure on the defense of this land..
In addition, the Winter Wolf Legion of the Nordtov Kingdom has occupied the Crimean Fortress. They will assist us in our defense there. What about you?？
Marshal, how are the troops of the Plantagenet Kingdom preparing to assist us?？”
“You also want command of the war in Transia？”
The half-dwarf was once again shocked by Murphy's lion's big opening.
He blew his beard and said with eyes wide open：
“Do you think I would trust my soldiers in the hands of a vampire? Don’t even think about it! My pioneering army will strengthen the fortress group in East Prussia. If your defense fails, it will be the second steel line of defense against the wolf man's scourge..
It's not easy to complete the preparation of the defense line in six months, so don't expect me to send more soldiers into your place..”
“But what about the border guards?？”
Murphy asked rhetorically：
“In addition to the 50,000 pioneering corps in East Prussia and Anjou, there should be an equal number of border guards, right? Most of them are puppet troops you collected during the Ten Years' War.’.
They were originally local legions of the Confederacy of Bosia.
They are part of the country's defense force against the Black Catastrophe. As the governor of Transia, I should have no legal issues in taking back their command in the Black Catastrophe War.？
If you don't want to let go, I can even sign an agreement with you.
After the Black Disaster is over, if you want those puppet soldiers, I can return them to you.！”
“Those newly formed border guard regiments are indeed a problem. Their loyalty, will, and combat readiness are almost the same as those of refugees. In particular, the issue of military discipline is as disgusting as a group of jackals..
If you really want it, I can give it to you..”
The half-dwarf marshal thought for a moment and said：
“I have a request. Those people can be under your control, but I will send a group of professional officers to train and command them. You must not interfere with their wartime command for any reason and you must be responsible for their supplies, Murphy.
you are not a soldier.
It’s better for you, a layman, not to get involved in such professional matters. This is advice from a marshal..”
“Can！”
Murphy agreed to this harsh condition without hesitation, but he bargained the next second：
“My territory lacks all kinds of supplies, and I need arms support, but I know you won't give me too much, so when those border guards were sent over, they also distributed their weapons..
At least don't ask me to give each of them a wooden stick to charge and fight. That would be a bit too ugly..
Even if it is cannon fodder, it should not be used like this.
In addition, if possible, I also need some machine tools, which can at least be used to repair and process firearms behind the battlefield, as well as self-made bullets and explosives, the most basic military supplies..”
“Ha, are you guys in Transia so poor that you don’t even have these things?？”
Marshal Loren joked：
“Why don't you swear allegiance to my Majesty, Murphy, and you'll get everything you want..”
“We had it! Xiko City is the manufacturing center of Transia and the pride of the entire Bosian Confederation. The firearms they produce are still synonymous with high-quality products even among the halflings of the Genoa Peninsula..
Then you destroyed it with a plague！
Just like when you destroyed Cadman City.”
Murphy responded with a cold tone.：
“Do you need me to tell you the reasons why Transia ended up here one by one? Marshal, I know that war is only about victory or defeat. For soldiers like you, victory is justice. Soldiers can give up all morality for victory. That is your professional quality..
But a group of plunderers stepped on the poor man who had just been looted and laughed loudly at his poverty and backwardness. I think even in the social customs of dwarves, it is not something worth promoting.？
The war is over, but a new one is about to begin！
No matter how you personally view Transia and me, the vampire lord, we are comrades you can’t get rid of in the Black Disaster War..
Unless you are willing to destroy us first, and then take the young men of the Plantagenet Kingdom to shoulder the responsibilities that should be shouldered by us.！
If you do not want your citizens to bleed and die, then please comply with my request, because the Transians are about to shed their own blood for your safety..
We may have a chance to compete in the future, Marshal..
I swear！
At that time, I will return all the arrogance you have imposed on me and Transia today, but the premise for us to fight is that we still have something to say in the future..
Give back those production lines you took away from Xico City！
That's our thing, and it can play a much more useful role in our hands than if it sits idle in your hands..”
“very good！”
Marshal Loren nodded and said：
“Your demeanor at this time is much better than that of the rickets prime minister who surrendered to me before the Portian Confederation. Keep it up, young but not lacking in courage vampire..
What you want has fallen into the hands of the Capet family. They are planning to build several new factories in East Prussia. You know who to talk to..”
After saying that, the marshal was about to hang up the communication, but Murphy stopped him..
“one last thing.”
vampire lord says：
“Regarding my identity, I hope that King Louis can issue an edict appointing me as the governor of Transia, so as to ensure that Transia can better fulfill its responsibilities as a strategic buffer zone between the two countries..”
“The classic left-right diplomacy of the Confederation of Portia. Of course, this is already your tradition, so let’s talk using the traditions left over from the previous black disasters..”
Marshal Loren picked up a letter of appointment as Governor of Transia on the table that had been stamped with the king's seal..
He pointed to the blank name column and said to Murphy：
“When you survive the black disaster, if there is still a place named 'Transia' on the mainland, this thing will be yours. So, it's a deal.？”
“Well, it's a deal！”
