"I really don't know what's going on in your heads. Two years ago, your army captured more than a dozen of our cities, reducing them all to ashes. Do you know how beautiful these cities were before? You've slaughtered millions of our people, and now you're actually here to discuss cooperation. I really don't know how to describe you. Aren't you afraid that I'll just kill you and hang your head on the city wall, letting everyone know you're demons from Arabia."
The city lord clenched his fist and said that his two sons also participated in the war. If it were not for the Arab Empire army, his grandson would still have a father, and he would still have a son in his later years. But because of you damn guys, everything is gone.
Seeing the city lord who had lost his mind, the military advisor was a little panicked. Even if he was eloquent, he would not be able to pull a person who had lost his mind back. What if the other party didn't care and wanted to chop off his head and hang it on the city wall? Then he would be helpless.
Although this guy also brought several guards, what's the use? In their territory, they have tens of thousands of troops. If they want to kill you, you really have no choice but to wait here and wash your neck.
"Respected Lord City Lord, we have indeed made many mistakes in the past. If you want my life now, you can take it at any time, but not now. I hope you can let me complete my mission and let me meet the Emperor of the Byzantine Empire and make it clear that the two countries are going to form an alliance. Then you can come and chop off my head, and I will definitely not frown. I believe you also know the combat effectiveness of the Tang army. If you rely on the strength of your country alone, you will never be able to defeat them. Our entire northern part has been occupied by them. We must now take a long-term view and must deal with the Tang army first."
The military advisor didn't care about etiquette at this time and stood up directly. In his opinion, this was the last chance. The city lord had lost his mind and might be dragged out and beheaded at any time. Before his head fell off, he had to first explain his usefulness and put our enemies in the right position so that we could think about these things together.
According to what the city lord thought, he really wanted to chop off this guy's head and then avenge his two sons and the millions of people in the Byzantine Empire who died at the hands of the Arabs.
But he had not lost his mind at this moment. What the military advisor said reminded him of the madness of that night. They had the advantage of time, place and people, but in the end they could not break into the camp of the Tang army. Instead, they suffered heavy casualties. That scene made him unforgettable for the rest of his life.
If the Arab Empire's army still gave them hope of victory, then the Tang Dynasty's army really gave them no hope at all. Despite having the advantage of time, place and people, they were actually counterattacked by the other side. If it were during the day, the Tang Dynasty's army might have directly attacked.
"Lord City Lord, please kill him. Don't believe his lies..."
The men under their command have already drawn their swords. In their memories, the people of the Arab Empire are like locusts. If these people come, they will destroy everything they have. Take the soldiers present here for example, their relatives have died under the scimitars of the Arab Empire.
So if the city lord wants to kill the person in front of them, they will draw their swords without hesitation.
The city lord took a deep breath and silently suppressed his thoughts. If killing could solve the problem, he would not need his men to do it. He would kill these people himself and avenge his sons.
But he was an official of the Byzantine Empire after all, and he could not only consider the affairs of his own family. Now the Tang army had bullied him at the doorstep. According to the accurate information he had received, the Tang army was even going to occupy the entire Black Sea coast. So in this case, he had to ensure the safety of the Byzantine Empire.
This guy in front of me may have said lies in everything, but there is one thing that is absolutely true, that is, with the power of the Byzantine Empire or the Arab Empire alone, they have no way to defeat the Tang army. In this case, they can only choose to form an alliance.
When facing a strong country, it is not shameful for two weak countries to unite against the enemy.
He had also assessed the previous wars. If the Byzantine Empire faced the Arab Empire alone, it might suffer heavy losses, but it would definitely not bring down the entire country. However, when facing the Tang Empire, he had a dream every night and even discussed the war with his men. No one thought they could win the war. In addition, they had heard about the expansion of the Tang Empire and believed that the army of this country might really destroy them.
The main reason is that the Tang Dynasty army has destroyed too many countries, including many powerful countries. Although they are not as powerful as the Byzantine Empire, if the Tang Dynasty makes a desperate move, the Byzantine Empire may really succumb to the Tang people in a few years or even more than ten years.
When the city lord thought of this, he felt nervous all over. In such a situation, in order to save our country, it might not be a bad thing to unite with these Arab demons. At least we can survive for a while. Look at the once proud Arabs. In order to defeat the Tang Dynasty, they even had to unite with their former enemies. They no longer have the pride of the past.
"You sinner, you are right. Now is not the time to kill you, but one day in the future, I will chop off your head on behalf of God and sacrifice it to my son and the vast majority of the Byzantine people. Now I will let you pass, but from this moment on, the long sword in my hand will always be placed behind your head. If you dare to play tricks, they will not hesitate to cut off your head and sacrifice it to those you have killed."
After hearing the words of the city lord, the military advisor breathed a sigh of relief. His first step was complete.
