Section 1715: 50 Against 1000

The meeting that day can be said to have broken up so unhappy. The demands put forward by the two parties were too different. The emperor also communicated with Li Cong. Li Cong's demands were too high. I can't take it anymore. If they sign this contract according to Li Cong's request, it is estimated that not only the prince will be unlucky when he goes back, but even if he goes back by himself, there will definitely be no good end. Covering the past, how can there be a chance to make a comeback, but I have been in the political arena for a long time, and it is impossible for me to make such a big mistake.

Li Cong and the others also feel that they cannot be forced too much. After all, they are guests when they come here. This is only a few hours, and it is not a long time. Do they have this time? Besides, if the contract is signed so quickly, people may still think that we have the advantage of the home field and bully them. Such things can be said. I didn’t see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just now. When I went out, the expression on this face was not very good-looking. The crown prince, who was invited by many ladies and ladies outside, refused without grace.

Most of these girls are people from families who are not very prominent. If the family has a title of earl or above, they will definitely not be so close to the prince of the Southern Empire. They also look at their own The family can't do anything in the Northern Empire, so they want to go to the Southern Empire to develop. After all, isn't there a saying that people move their jobs, maybe they can become the prince's concubine in the Southern Empire. , if their luck is better, they may become the emperor's concubine. It's a pity that His Highness the Crown Prince didn't give them any chance at all. Naturally, in their hearts, the Crown Prince is too incomprehensible.

In fact, the prince is still very good to the girls, but today they confessed to the wrong place, and now the prince is still a little unhappy when he returns to his carriage. I am the only son of the queen of the Southern Empire, and I have suffered a lot in my life. The reason is that I am relatively young, and I don't feel that I am at a disadvantage at other times. But the way Li Cong treated himself just now, he was at a disadvantage, not just as simple as a disadvantage, this guy even felt that he was insulted by Li Cong, no matter how powerful you are, you are still a prince, and you are not a prince, you Such a prince will not end well in the end. If you know restraint, you may be able to return to a good end in your life, but seeing Li Cong's arrogant appearance, he doesn't even know what restraint is. If there is any good result in the end, I am different. I am the crown prince of the Southern Empire, and I will be the emperor of the Southern Empire in the future. How can I threaten myself? The more I think about it, the more I feel uncomfortable, the more I think about it, and within a short while, this guy made me very angry.

The old emperor uncle on the side naturally wouldn't go out and say anything, this guy and himself were not on the same road, and what the old emperor uncle was thinking about at the moment was Li Cong's proposal just now. Can twenty-five counties plus two vassal states guarantee the current peace? If he hadn't seen Li Cong, maybe the old emperor would feel that what he said was true, but the old emperor has seen countless people in his life. This Li Cong is not so easy to talk, and it will not be that simple. If he If it was so easy to dismiss, there wouldn't be so many honorable ministers of the Northern Empire who suffered from this guy's hands. The old emperor had thoroughly investigated Li Cong before he came. Although I know this guy is more difficult to deal with,

But civilization is not as good as meeting people, and I never thought that Li Cong would be so difficult to deal with.

The prince doesn't speak, and the old emperor himself doesn't speak, because he knows that if he speaks, the prince will definitely ask himself what to do, and he won't do things like this, after all, this is not a small matter of. This is related to the affairs between the two empires. If you are not careful, you may enter the point of no return. Speaking of this, the old emperor uncle is much more powerful than the prince. The prince is still a child. The old emperor's uncle is from the grandfather's generation of the prince, and the two of them just wandered around and arrived at their place of residence without saying a word.

"Prince, it's still early. If you don't want to rest, come to my room and drink a pot of tea. Speaking of which, it's not time for us men to be so close. By the way, let's discuss today's affairs?" The crown prince didn't say anything when he was in the car, but the old emperor had to say it. He could tell that the crown prince was going to lose his mind at the moment. This guy Cheng Zhilu has figured it out, even if he and the kid in front of him are not in the same way, but now they are in the same way, they must cooperate to get through this difficulty, otherwise the two of them There will be no good end after going back, this is for sure, they are on the same boat now.

Originally, the prince must be furious when he goes back, maybe he will smash all the things in the whole house prepared for him. Now when he heard the old emperor's uncle say that, the prince obviously hesitated, but soon He just said, "Uncle emperor, please, grandson, change clothes, and go over immediately." The prince thought for a while and said, the old uncle nodded and went back without saying anything. The prince is not a fool, how could he go there by himself? Well, the prince is naturally going to take a few followers there, but when he walked into his yard, he was very displeased with those people standing guard with chain crossbows in the yard. Why did the alarm say that it was not good for people like himself? Li Cong made it himself. He strengthened the defense to send more spies. This time they brought hundreds of thousands of troops, but because of etiquette, they could only bring five hundred guards into the imperial capital. The troops were all camped outside the city. Li Cong asked Su Minghai to station 300,000 troops beside them and watch them. Who knows what they would do, all of which needed to be dealt with carefully.

"His Royal Highness, you are back, do you want me to serve you to rest?" Although it is in the Northern Empire, the four maids of the Prince are all from the Southern Empire. Things around people like them are definitely not good. It might be done by someone arranged by the Northern Empire. The prince shook his head. At this time, the beautiful maid was also stunned. Something must have happened to the prince. It seemed that the prince was not in such a mood now, so she didn't say anything, and stood silently waiting for the prince's instructions.

"Go, invite Duke Luther and Marquis Cary. Tell them to go to the emperor's uncle's room together, and say that there is something important to talk about." The prince thought for about three minutes and said. In fact, what is really useful for the regiment is him and the emperor plus these two people. As for those princes and sons, they are just out to show face. If you want to ask those people what is fun in the capital of the Northern Empire, they will probably be able to quickly. They can't count on anything if they ask something useful, so the prince has no intention of discussing with them at all. Even if it is discussed, it will be useless, these people are all idiots. They came here to see that the Southern Empire attaches great importance to this matter. This Duke Luther can be said to be the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Southern Empire. Originally, he was supposed to take him over for this incident at night. Unfortunately, he was not feeling well because of the long journey. I didn't go, anyway, it's impossible to reach an agreement tonight, so I didn't ask him to come over, but the current discussion is different, it's a very important thing, as long as you don't die. Just have to go.

"Yes, servant girl will do it now." Two of the four golden flowers of the prince went out to do business immediately, and the remaining two began to change the clothes for the prince. Just now the prince said that he came back to change clothes. It would not be a good thing for the crown prince if the clothes just went out, and the big man had to do it just by saying a word.

After Duke Luther received the prince's instruction, although his body was still not very comfortable. But after all, I have rested for such a long time, and I am not the kind of person with poor health, so I got up quickly. There must be something important to discuss. Be careful. Although I am not a member of the prince's faction, but when I set off, my master told me that this matter must be done. At this time, I must give up some faction disputes. I cannot let the northern and southern empires go to war. The southern empire also has its own of hardships.

Although the Southern Empire has not encountered any large-scale changes in the past few years, the Southern Empire has corrupted itself very badly in recent years. The so-called satiety and lust, there are many people in the Southern Empire who are greedy for pleasure, and few people who really devote themselves. Although they are also threatened by the Northern Empire and the Murlocs, to be honest, the Murlocs and the Savages are still not very good. In the same way, the murlocs guard the sea after all, they have no shortage of food, if the Southern Empire hadn't insisted on getting along with the murlocs, it would be impossible for the murlocs to provoke them. There are some uncomfortable ones.

Let’s talk about the huge bureaucracy of the Southern Empire. Although the population of the Southern Empire is more than one billion more than that of the Northern Empire, the number of officials in the Southern Empire is twice that of the Northern Empire, especially the nobles of the Southern Empire. There are only dozens of princes, but the Southern Empire has nearly two hundred princes, the Northern Empire has 125 dukes, and the Southern Empire has more than 300. The land area of ​​this country is basically the same. There are more nobles, which means that the land controlled by the royal family will decline. Even if each noble gives some land in such a symbolic manner, this is definitely not a small amount.

Thinking about some things in the Southern Empire, they soon arrived at the door of the emperor's uncle's house. Seeing the Marquis of Cary who had just arrived at the door, both of them gave a wry smile. Although neither of them followed, they both listened. There is some news, this Li Cong definitely wants the lion to open his mouth. There are dozens of counties and cities, and robbery is not like this. These dozens of counties and cities have a history of tens of thousands of years. Such a long period of accumulation Only a few days of everything you want? Open your mouth and ask us to give this to you, is it possible? But these people thought so in their hearts, but no one had the courage to go directly to Li Cong to talk about this matter.

After several people went in to see the ceremony, they all sat down according to their seats. The crown prince didn't cover up, so he told them what happened today, and asked them to discuss. Although the uncle made an appointment for such a meeting, he only asked the crown prince to come by himself. , These two people are not called by yourself. Since you called this person, you will be the master as soon as you enter the door, so we won't talk too much about it. Whatever you want is your own business Now, it is the same as an old monk entering meditation.

"His Royal Highness, Uncle Emperor, this... this condition seems to be a little too big, we can't afford it, if this treaty is signed just like that. I don't think we need to go back, this agreement will be regarded as a A traitor." There is no one behind the Marquis of Cary, his status in the Southern Empire is like the status of Marquis Dingxiang in the Northern Empire, behind him is the emperor, no one can offend, but not everyone Well, he is a pure soldier. Such a person is also a person that all factions will not offend. After all, everyone with real skills needs this guy.

"Who says it's not. But now the Northern Empire is huge. If we don't agree, there may be a war. Kari, you are the most powerful general in our empire. You are on the road these days From what I have seen, if there is a real war, what will be the result?" Uncle Huang thought for a while and said, originally he didn't care what he wanted, but he still missed the empire in his heart. After all, he was almost the emperor of the empire back then.

"Uncle Huang, if Li Cong hadn't appeared, the military gap between us and the Northern Empire would have been very small. Anyone who went to fight on other people's territory would definitely fail, but the recent period is the same as before. It’s different. The army of the Northern Empire defeated the savages. No, to be precise, they defeated the Snake Queen and Beamon Behemoth. I believe these two things are not very unfamiliar to you. We must all be aware of the disasters caused by humans. After defeating them, the morale of the army of the Northern Empire has risen to a level that we cannot take care of. Compared with the wildlings, our combat effectiveness is far behind. Siege battle If this is the case, maybe we can hold on for a while. If this is a field battle, we have no hope of winning at all. In the past few days, I have also seen some troops wearing chain crossbows in the Northern Empire. People can definitely deal with 30,000 to 50,000 of us. In the siege battle, the arrow rain they fired at us would not give us any chance to fight back. So I think it is better not to start this war, Otherwise, our hope of winning is not great, unless we have the ability to prolong the war, the economic strength of the Northern Empire cannot be compared with ours, if it takes a long time, they will not be able to, then we can use some Factors other than the battlefield will end this war." Cary thought for a while and said, he also had reservations about these words, and to be honest, he couldn't estimate the final end of many things, just like a ten thousand chain crossbow can The ratio of fighting against 30,000 soldiers is that this guy has raised it a little bit. In fact, no one has ever seen it. It may be possible to fight against 50,000, 100,000, or even more. Many people in this serial crossbow are fighting against humans. Guessing, there is no real result. There is a practical example in the turmoil in the Northern Empire, but that war was a civil war in the Northern Empire after all. They will not announce this, and everyone is not a fool.

Kari's words directly stunned the other three people in the room. They didn't expect the matter to come to this point. It's fine if they can't win in the field battle. No matter how defensive they are, what the prince and uncle said to Kari Absolutely believe it. If others say this, the two of them may consider how much they can believe. But Cary is a pure soldier, and everything will not be exaggerated. Since he said that, this matter At least seven points can be believed. Originally, both the prince and the emperor thought that the battle of defending the city would be no problem. Even the walls of the county city were well built, but now it seems that the enemy's chain crossbow They also have the ability to attack the city, which makes them feel as if they have no strength in the whole body.

"His Royal Highness, Uncle Emperor, when we came here, we negotiated to give two to three counties to the Northern Empire. Now it seems that this is very difficult to satisfy them." Duke Luther thought for a while and said, he is in charge of diplomacy People on the other side, it seems that some methods discussed on the road and in the Southern Empire will definitely not work here. If the two counties were given to them free of charge in the past, they would definitely be very satisfied, but now, they With such a powerful military force, even 20 counties are probably useless. Duke Luther even thought of a worse result, that is, the Northern Empire actually wants the lion to open its mouth and wait for the Southern Empire. Refuse, so that they can have a justifiable excuse to start the war. The Northern Empire must want to make a quick decision. If it is delayed, they also know that it will definitely be bad for them. Maybe these lands will not be in a few months. The Southern Empire is gone. Thinking of this, Duke Luther is also very depressed, watching his things go to others. There was nothing I could do, it was really uncomfortable.

"Well, you're right, there is indeed no way to satisfy this greedy northern wolf." Although he is unwilling to admit this fact, the people here are all rational people, and naturally they will not be because of some slogans or the like. It is absolutely impossible for things to germinate with super fighting power. Fighting spirit is of course very important, but sometimes this kind of spirit is useless. It's like now, "Everyone, our empire is really at a dangerous time now, so what can everyone do to say it directly, don't hide it, we don't have so much time and energy to deal with these things , what we need now is a solution." The prince continued, his words were actually meant for the Duke Luther and the emperor's uncle, both of whom represented another force. This is the time to unite. External wars are always more important than internal struggles.

"Well, what the prince said makes sense. We must avoid the outbreak of war. We are not their opponents now. I don't think there are many times when their morale is so high. As long as they are a little bit frustrated on the side of the savages I think our chance is coming. During this period of time, we have to be patient, and even make some concessions." The emperor also spoke at this time, and he really had to. He also miscalculated the strength of the Northern Empire, thinking that the Northern Empire would not be much stronger than them. As long as they make a little concession, who knows that the gap is so big now, even if they make concessions, the war may still break out, and it turns out that handing over the land to the other party has become an expedient measure.

"Uncle Huang is right. I have a way, but I don't know if it will work. Anyway, we will lose a lot." Duke Luther is a capable person in diplomacy. His words immediately attracted the attention of the other three people. The Marquis of Cary is a fighter. It is no problem to ask him to explain the actual situation. It is really difficult for him to ask him to give advice, but he is here to represent the army. Fang, this is for sure, so no matter what you do, you must bring this guy with you. Duke Luther himself feels that this idea still needs to be considered, so when he said it, he was still considering whether to say it or not. Well, now seeing the eager eyes of the three people, I know that if I don't say it, the three of them will definitely not be able to sleep tonight.

"It's like this. The gap between the Northern Empire and us lies in the economy. Our economy is much stronger than theirs. I think it's because of money that they want to occupy our county. They suffered heavy casualties in Guangming City. There are so many projects in the country, and they must be short of money. Can we read some articles from this? We can give them a sum of money and tell them to reduce the number of counties and cities that they talk about, or even don’t want us. Yes, this money is dead, people are alive, we can create a lot of money, but we can’t create land.” Duke Luther said carefully, it is normal to cede land and pay compensation after the defeat, and they are all It is always psychologically uncomfortable to start discussing these issues without defeat.

use money? Thinking of this matter, several people showed a hint of consideration on their faces. The biggest gap between the two empires in the north and the south is that the southern empire has money, while the northern empire has no money. Although the living conditions of the northern empire are not low, the Compared with the southern empire, there is a lot of difference in surplus money. The place where the money is used in the northern empire is not a little bit. It is estimated that Li Cong and the others just want the tax revenue of these thirty counties. After discussing for a while, I decided to give Li Cong an answer tomorrow, and I will use the taxes of 30 counties and cities as support for them to fight the savages. Year, as for the cession of the counties, this matter is still unnecessary, but they also know that if they don’t give them a little territory, the people of the Northern Empire will definitely not feel at ease, so let’s just use five counties, which is not much. Quite a few, which is just right.

The taxes of the thirty counties are quite a lot. You must know that these are the monarchs and ministers of the Southern Empire, which is different from the taxes of the Northern Empire. The most prosperous county in the Northern Empire only earns 30 million gold coins a year. The taxation of the Southern Empire is great. The Southern Empire is much more powerful than the Northern Empire. Let’s talk about the twenty-five counties and cities in the border area, each of which is a big city of trade. The reason why the Northern Empire blocked the border is because the Southern Empire The merchants rely on the border to earn their money. This is also the reason why the Southern Empire wants to open the border. However, recently, some goods from the Northern Empire have also made a lot of profits. Therefore, the border areas have also been liberalized, but smuggling still accounts for a large amount.

A county in the border area of ​​the Southern Empire also has a minimum tax of 100 million gold coins. This year, the 25 counties will give at least 2.5 billion gold coins to the Northern Empire. This amount can already reach the financial revenue of the Northern Empire. One-tenth, which is one-twentieth of the financial revenue of the Southern Empire, is not a small loss for the Southern Empire, but if the Northern Empire is allowed to occupy these twenty counties. Some of the fixed assets inside will be even bigger, and a rough estimate will cost more than trillions of gold coins. It is better to pay them, but whether these people headed by Li Cong will agree to this is still unknown. If they want money, it should be fine, but if they don’t want money, In their view, this is a disguised rejection, and it is likely to bring them a huge military change. This is war.

That night, the few people had united their battle lines, and they would temporarily put aside their own affairs and go all out for the upcoming negotiations. This can be regarded as the biggest victory they have achieved in one night. Even the old fox with a conspiracy can't do it in the face of the gap in strength.

Before dawn the next day, Prince Gong arrived outside their post house. These people didn’t know why Prince Gong came so early, but Prince Gong knew it himself, and today he was going to take them to Li Cong’s new event Army barracks. In the past, this schedule was scheduled for tomorrow, but their attitude during the negotiations last night made Li Cong and the others very unhappy. After reporting to the emperor, they approved their strategy of military threats, thinking that they should try to give them terror power. The threat they brought, maybe they can easily agree to Li Cong's conditions, which is also possible.

Originally, the prince and the others were unwilling to get up so early. But all the princes are waiting here, and they can't say that they don't want to go out if they want to rest for a while. If they say this, they will probably lose all the people in the Southern Empire. The Empire will show the most powerful army in the Northern Empire. They also want to go to see the capabilities of this quick-response force. Although they have never seen the army in Guangming City, the text in the memorial can also let them know about it. Less. Now that they can see it with their own eyes, it is also an important weight to consider in the negotiation, so although they are not very willing in their hearts, they still quickly fix themselves, take a bite and follow Prince Gong out of the city.

Because the place to go is a military camp of another country, the prince and others have done a good job of security. More than 100 members of the mission brought more than 20,000 guards there. Cong's quick reaction force barracks are not very far away, so their guards came earlier than them. Li Cong was already waiting for them at the gate. He also took a look at the army of the Southern Empire first. The local army of the empire is basically of the same level, and the morale of many people is pretending. Li Cong can see that these people should not be soldiers. Maybe becoming actors is their best way out, but If you beat people without slapping face, even if their army is no good, we can't tell them in front of them. How can we say that there is still a problem of face. Seeing the prince and the others coming on horseback, Li Cong also Instead of dismounting at the gate of the camp, he led them in like a tour guide. The prince and the emperor's uncle focused all their energy on the most mysterious army in the Northern Empire, so they didn't care about Li Cong's etiquette. So they didn't say anything, and followed along, they were so curious in their hearts.

When they were in China, their intelligence department said that Li Cong had a new army that was very powerful, but they had never thought about what kind of army it was. How could they be unhappy when they finally saw it today? I really don't want to come here. They just had a hot fight with the girls they dated, and they were called out early in the morning. Their gentle hometown is still there. The negotiation has nothing to do with us. What's the relationship? Shouldn't it be these people's business? Why would they ask us to go? It's too much. Although I'm not satisfied in my heart, I can't show it. They are dandies, but they also know that this is the Northern Empire. If they do something embarrassing to the empire, they will be reprimanded at most in the country. In this empire, it may be a pain in the flesh. No one wants to let their opponents see their own country. How could there be such a useless person inside.

"All gather." I saw someone coming from a distance. The soldiers who were training immediately began to gather, and their training was regarded as a military secret. No one can guarantee that among the millions of craftsmen in the Southern Empire, there will not be such a genius, and maybe they will also create a chain crossbow.

"My God, there are so many chain crossbows. The entire army seems to use chain crossbows..." Several noble children also knew chain crossbows. They knew that such things were very precious in the Southern Empire. I didn't expect that the treasures in their eyes would exist here. This is mass-produced. Looking at it at a glance, it is definitely not something that hundreds of thousands of troops can stop. There must be at least millions of troops, and millions of such powerful chain crossbows. These dandies who don't care much about politics are also a little scared at this time, mother, this one is a bit outrageous.

"Idiot, don't say a few words. Didn't you see that the prince and the emperor's face are so bad? I don't want to die." The boy spoke loudly. Immediately, the leader of their group gave him a slap in the face. Although the leader said so, the surprise in his eyes could not be deceived.

Li Cong also heard their conversation, and smiled. This effect is what he wants, and this is just the beginning. There is something that surprised you even more, "His Royal Highness, Uncle Huang, this is our new army, does it feel okay?" Li Cong said with a smile, no matter how you look at it, it seems to be showing off.

After Li Cong finished speaking, the crown prince and the emperor uncle both smiled and nodded. They couldn't stop praising, it was the first time they saw such an army, especially the formation of this army, it was really neat. They also have this kind of queue training over there, but they can't lift the same foot when walking, even many relatives and noble ministers of the Northern Empire saw it for the first time, and their shock was also written on their faces Yes, yes, Li Cong used modern army training methods to train them. So far, it has been very successful, and these people have accepted it.

"This formation is indeed very good. The formation of our Southern Empire is not so good. The prince really has a way. Anyway, it is indeed a very mighty army from the outside." The prince praised, but His compliment made many people feel uncomfortable. Damn, what are you talking about? What is a queue? Can’t you see the murderous energy? What is it from the outside? Speaking, the generals in the army were very unconvinced. If it weren't for Li Cong's eyes, they would be violent, and they really couldn't speak.

"Hehe, Your Royal Highness, the worst part of my army is actually the queue. It's a joke for His Royal Highness. I heard that the Imperial Forest Army of your country is one in a hundred men. When fighting against the murlocs, they can defeat a hundred soldiers with one enemy. Yes, and Pegasus charging is very powerful, I wonder if you can show us it?" Li Cong said with a smile, he knew that the most powerful army in the Southern Empire was their Imperial Forest Army, when other people came Bringing at most dozens of imperial guards is a face, but who is this? The Crown Prince and Emperor Uncle of the Southern Empire can be said to have the most valuable identities in the court besides His Majesty the Emperor. It is necessary to bring them tens of thousands of Imperial Forest Army to support the scene. This aspect started.

"My lord, this sword is ruthless. We are all here to visit. If there is any trouble, we can't bear it." The crown prince saw the queue of this army just now and knew that their army would not be able to catch up. Many people in the army clearly know that this formation is not just a superficial effort. To be honest, this formation can actually show the combat effectiveness of some troops, so the crown prince is ready to refuse. Anyway, As long as he refuses, the face of the Southern Empire will be lost a lot. The old emperor next to him and the princes of the Southern Empire all showed unhappy expressions. I started to have stage fright when I came up. If this is the case, is it okay? How will I deal with people from the Northern Empire in the future?

"His Royal Highness, in fact, the military debate between our two sides is a very important item in our annual exchanges. Today, the relatives and noble ministers of both of us are here. Why don't we try it on a small scale? In the past, we both Try out 3,000 troops. This time, it’s better if you send 1,000 troops. As landlords, we can’t take advantage of you. I think it’s enough to use one-tenth of your troops. They The project is still the same as before, how about one side defending the city and the other attacking?" Li Cong said with a smile. The ministers of the empire seem to be losing their dignity. The crown prince is still a little hesitant, but the old emperor has already made a decision. He must not let this kid continue to ruin the reputation of the Southern Empire. He must fight.

"My lord, we accept your challenge. I don't need to draw lots when I look at the offensive and defensive sides. Since the lord thinks that your 100 people can beat our 1000 imperial forest army, you might as well let your people defend well. Our people Come and attack, okay?" The crown prince was very dissatisfied with the emperor's uncle speaking at this time, but he also knew in his heart that this matter could not be delayed any longer. Every second that passed, it seemed that the face of the Southern Empire was being slapped by someone. Uncle did this kind of crime because he didn't want this kind of slap in the face to continue to happen.

"Uncle Emperor, this matter is so decided, half an hour of preparation time, all the training items are ready, but our Emperor may not come here in time, it is the same when we are here, but I see His Royal Highness His complexion doesn’t seem to be very good, this is good, we have reduced from 100 people to 50 people, and to be honest, our defense can be done with less than 20 people.” Li Cong said with a smile, and the others also said: Laughed loudly, especially those who knew the fighting power of the new army. Those who didn't know thought Li Cong was bragging just like the people in the Southern Empire. (To be continued.
