Chapter 100: 【defend】

Chapter One Hundred
Everyone came to the lobby. The guards of Prince Mennon were extremely arrogant. Before the master could speak, they drove away other guests and made a space. Although the guests were all identifiable people in the imperial capital, they could see that they were dressed and they knew they were the princes of the Great Moon Kingdom, but they left with their anger. The dancer who was originally in the lobby screamed again and again and ran to the back.
Without waiting for everyone to sit down, the General Sarger drew a huge scimitar and strode to the middle of the hall. He shouted to Roddy: "Lord Tulip! You are a warrior of the Bright Empire. I, Sarger, will challenge you in accordance with the rules of our grassland! If you are afraid, give up!"
Rand yelled, jumped out, and said: "What are you! You are also worthy to challenge our Lord Duke! I am the Lord Duke's head of guard Rand, I will teach you a lesson!"
Rand took out his huge sword and strode up to Sarger.
Both of them are sturdy people, standing in the center like two iron towers, looking at each other with big eyes and small eyes.
Roddy knew the strength of Rand in his heart. He knew that the strength of Rand had surpassed many military commanders. Even his current strength might not be much stronger than him. Feel relieved, with a sneer on his face, he looked at Prince Mennon.
After all, Prince Mennon is a great man on the grassland. He has a cheerful temperament and loudly said: "Sag! Don't lose my face! If you lose! I will send you to raise a three-year horse!"
The two slowly stepped back, holding weapons in their hands. Suddenly, Rand let out a low growl, strode forward, and chopped off with a sword in both hands.
Sage raised the scimitar high in his hand, only to hear a loud "knock!", the swords added, the two samurai used all their strength, the muscles on their arms grew violently, only a few chicks, the two of them The leather blankets on the floor were torn apart.
With a low drink, the two separated a few steps, and Rand did not wait for each other to gasp, and jumped forward again. Not to be outdone, Sarger raised the scimitar in his hand long ago.
All that was heard was the constant sound of ping-pong. Both of them are powerful warriors, and when they encounter a strong enemy this time, they each act hard to fight hard, and neither of them will be one step behind.
The two huge figures tangled together, and suddenly heard a muffled grunt from Rand, stepped back, only to see a long slit cut out of his shirt on his chest, and a little blood on his chest. Had it not been for him to dodge quickly, I am afraid that this knife would have been seriously injured.
Prince Mennon smiled triumphantly on his face: "My lord, how are my warriors?"
Roddy sneered, looked at Rand, and said lightly: "Rand, don't forget that you are under the tulip banner!"
Rand's body shook, and suddenly he saw a violent roar, his voice was like a thunder in the air. Following this roar, he tore off one of his bodies with one hand, revealing the steel-like muscles of his upper body. A cloud of faint gray brilliance burst out of him suddenly, and a bit of arrogance rose from the blade of the big sword in his hand.
"Fighting Qi!" Roddy's heart moved. When he and Lanter competed, Rand had just realized the method of fighting Qi. I don't want to be two or three months later. Rand can already use fighting Qi. It seems that this guy is like this in the capital. For a long time, a lot of work has been done.
Rante's eyes seemed to be bursting with fire, and with a roar, his whole body turned into a cloud of dust and rushed over.
Sage's face was serious, and he saw a black gas rushing toward his face, hurriedly holding a knife in both hands and gritting his teeth.
He only heard the sound of depravity of cutting gold and breaking jade. Sage had taken a few steps back and slammed into the wall, leaving only half of the scimitar in his hand. An originally dark face flushed, as if drunk.
Rand stood proudly in the center, looked at him coldly, and shouted: "You lose!" Then the anger on his body disappeared, he put away his big sword, strode to Roddy, and bowed: "My lord, I did not shame the glory of the tulip!"
Roddy nodded, held up the wine glass in front of him, and said: "Okay! They say that only warriors can drink this cup. Now you can drink it, and see who rushes to say that our empire has no warriors!"
With an excited expression on his face, Rand knelt down on one knee, holding up the little gold cup and drank it.
Prince Mennon looked gloomy, slowly stood up, nodded to Roddy and Melo, and said lightly: "Lord Duke, Lord Earl, see you at the negotiating table tomorrow."
After speaking, without even looking at that Sager, he walked out with someone. The Sage was ashamed and followed behind with his head down.
Melo had a smile on his face: "My Lord Duke, today I have greatly killed the spirit of the Great Moon Kingdom. I have dealt with them over the past few days, and I have been so angry with them."
The two stopped drinking and both left the cave of ecstasy. Melo sent Roddy back to the Duke of Tulip Mansion and left with a smile.
Nicole saw Roddy come back, his face was dull, and he didn't smile at all, so he couldn't help but ask. Roddy sighed and recounted what happened in the Ecstasy Cave today.
Nicole frowned: "Rand won, why are you still upset?"
Roddy shook his head and said faintly: "What's the use of this kind of private battle even if you win a hundred games? They have the ability to defeat them on the battlefield, and they are truly glorious. !"
When talking about Earl Melo's remarks, Nicole was silent and could not think of anything.
The next day Earl Melo personally came to pick Roddy to meet Prince Mennon. After the two sides met, peace talks began.
The Great Moon Kingdom took a tough attitude, and the lion opened his mouth to ask the empire to cede the Northwest Watt Fortress and compensate millions of gold coins for defeat.
On Roddy's side, Count Melo was not angry, but insisted on not letting him go. After a day of talking, Prince Mennon gradually became anxious, but seeing Roddy was there, his face was full of anger but not. Finally everyone broke up.
Earl Melo told Roddy privately that their attitude was considered good today. When Roddy was away two days ago, the two sides argued. People in the Great Moon Kingdom often yelled at them, and when they were grumpy, they pulled out their scimitars on the spot, with extremely arrogant attitudes.
On the second day of the negotiation, Roddy asked Melo to remain silent, and he loudly asked the other party to pull out the military fortress occupied by the northwest. As for the compensation, he said nothing. Seeing Roddy's tough attitude, one of the other officers couldn't help pulling out the scimitar. Roddy was even more polite, kicking the man out of the window with one foot, then coldly looked at the angry Prince Mennon, and said in a deep voice. "Your Royal Highness! Let's just say it! I personally oppose the peace! If you really threaten with war! I can't ask for it! You might as well meet on the battlefield! I'm afraid..." At this point, Luo Di talked a turn and sneered: "I'm afraid that Prince Songtsan doesn't want to see Luo Yantar have the opportunity to take over the army again, right? How is your king's health recently? Has Prince Songtsan become the crown prince?"
After saying this, Roddy didn't even look at the other person. He walked out first, leaving Prince Mennon with a gloomy look.
By the third day, the conversation was much more harmonious. In the end, the two sides argued over the ownership of Trier Castle.
The empire asked the other side to return the nearest military stronghold of Trier Castle in the northwest near the Watt Fortress. This is Roddy's final bottom line. He knew that although the opponent was tough on the surface, he was actually afraid to fight. Songtsen and Luoyantal were busy fighting for the crown prince, and they were unable to fight the empire. As for the Sauron Kingdom on the Roland Continent in the north, I am afraid that after Miaosi's return, the temple will immediately trouble them, and it is estimated that there will be no more leisure to support the Great Moon Kingdom in secret.
Roddy wanted the opponent to return Trier Fort, because Trier Fort is the closest to Watt Fortress. As long as the Empire gets Trier Fort, there are two northwest military strongholds, Watt and Trier, at least on defense. The horns of each other can greatly increase the stability of the Northwest defense.
In the end, Melo was very eloquent. The two parties initially decided that the Empire would redeem Trier Castle with 500,000 gold coins. With Watt Fortress and Trier Castle as the boundary, the two sides stopped.
After the talk, Melo and Roddy should have entered the palace immediately to report back to the emperor. But Roddy was depressed and reluctant to go. He only let Count Melo go alone, and he dismissed his guards and rode out alone in the imperial capital.
Unknowingly, he walked to the largest Victory Square in the center of the Imperial Capital. Roddy rode on his horse and looked at the huge statue of ten meters high in the center of the square.
That is the statue of Abbas the greatest emperor in the history of the empire. This statue is made by famous masters, and the sculpture is lifelike. Seeing this great emperor was wearing armor and a long sword standing on the ground. He held the sword hilt in his hand and looked majestic. Although it was a statue, it also faintly exuded the iron and blood demeanor that people dare not look at.
Roddy thought that when Abbasid the Great was alive, the empire was at its peak, with millions of elite troops under his command, and the undefeated tulip flag flying. Thor's whip swept the world, and the entire continent was under the feet of the empire. The northwestern grassland surrendered, and the northern continent of Roland bowed its head, what a glory it was.
Roddy looked obsessedly at the statue in front of him, his heart boiling.
In a trance, he didn't notice a carriage slowly stopping behind him. I heard a sudden voice in my ears: "My Lord Duke!"
Roddy turned his head and saw a young man in a servant costume standing in front of him with his head down.
"My lord, please see me, my master." After speaking, he pointed to the exquisite and gorgeous carriage behind him.
Roddy frowned, thinking it was the official nobleman who wanted to appease himself, the Duke of Tulip, and said lightly: "I still have things. Your master wants to find me. Go to the Duke's Mansion."
Roddy was about to leave when he finished speaking, but the servant suddenly smiled and whispered: "My lord, my master said, he is Roddy's friend."
The last sentence came slowly, but it almost made Roddy fall off the horse in shock.
