Chapter 379: Asking prices

"Everyone obeyed the command and boarded the ship in accordance with the order. We are the leader of the Yongye Army and are here to take you home."
It wasn't until this time that the leader of Yongye officially explained the situation to these crocodile civilians.
"The leader of Yongye? It's really the leader of Yongye."
"We are saved, ours is really saved."
"Go home, we are going home, we really are going home."
These crocodile civilians dominated by hunger began to react one after another at this time, peeping at each other, and bursting into madness.
"This reflection arc is too long, right? Only now have we discovered the difference between us and those Kingsley soldiers?"
"When your hungry legs become soft and you see the fragrant vitality porridge, your IQ will also become negative, maybe even they are worse!"
"Don't laugh, there are countless people staring at us. Complete the task as soon as possible. Who knows if Akmeser will change his mind."
"Yes, sir."
As the Eternal Night Army led the crocodile civilians to retreat, there were countless hungry green eyes looking at them on both sides.
In addition to the elite troops dispatched by Akmeser to monitor the leader of the Eternal Night Army, there are also hungry soldiers attracted by the smell of vitality porridge.
Had it not been for the elite army of Akmeser in front of him, it would have caused a riot.
Akmeser witnessed the whole process blankly, and his heart surged.
Seeing the big from the small, the planning and organization of the Yongye army leader has been integrated into their bones. It seems that everything is arranged in an orderly manner. If you are an opponent of such a force, you have a slight loophole. Will be taken advantage of by the other side.
The Kingsley family’s failure in this campaign seemed to be full of chance and suffered the loss of the pig teammates.
In fact, it is full of inevitable factors.
Compared with the commoners of the Crocodile tribe, the Yongye army leader is not so gentle when treating those mercenaries who are coming over as a lead. He directly asked the Kingsley family to help drive them to the shore and ship them to the north of Bashou. Shore, temporarily imprisoned.
After the completion of this transaction, the negotiation between Yongye Junling and the Kingsley family was truly on the right track.
"We can release all the soldiers trapped on the east coast of the Grand Duke, but the Grand Duke needs to promise us several conditions." Sean directly opened the conditions.
"please say."
"Article one, all the Kingsley family's troops will be withdrawn to 20 kilometers west of the Union of Criminals, and all the cities of the Union of Criminals will be handed over to the leader of Yongye."
"second?"
"Article two, Kingsley soldiers in Brother Port disarmed and disarmed on the spot, weapons and equipment were handed over to the leader of the Yongye Army, and the leader of the Yongye Army was responsible for transporting the personnel back to the Carter leader."
"third?"
"Third, the Kingsley family will provide 80 million royal gold coins for war compensation as the initial fund for the rebuilding of the crocodile family."
"How about the fourth?"
"that's it."
"That's all?" Grand Duke Barker looked at Sean sarcastically, "I thought your Lord Baron would let me give up the seat of Lord Carter."
Xiao En righteously said: "I am not such a greedy person. We will never invade the original half-inch of the Kingsley family's land."
"Not that greedy person?" Grand Duke Buck sneered even more, "I have never seen anyone more greedy than the Lord Baron."
Sean's face has long been tempered to be thicker than the city walls, and will not be affected by the attitude of Duke Buck. "So Duke has objections to our conditions?"
"More than dissent? The dissent is gone." Grand Duke Buck suppressed his emotions and said solemnly, "Let us say one by one."
"First, let our army withdraw to 20 kilometers west of the Union of Criminals. This contradicts what you just said, not occupying half an inch of the original land of the Kingsley family. The so-called Union of Criminals is nothing but A group of bandits and bandits who occupy the mountain as the king, those towns are actually canonized by the Kingsley family, and they were built by one hand. They were originally the inherent land of the Kingsley family."
"Wait?" Shawn made a pause and interrupted Arch Justice Buck: "These towns were originally established by knights canonized by the Kingsley family, but they were all exploiting knights and occupying the swamp of despair. Land, according to the theory of the Grand Duke, if the pioneer knights canonized by the Eternal Night Army build a town under the Carthusian Army, this town will become the existing land under the Eternal Night Army? If this is the case, the whole Isn't the alliance messed up?"
"Your Excellency's analogy is not appropriate. The knights who established these towns are pioneering knights, but they occupy the borderless land. At that time, the Swamp of Despair did not belong to the Byron Alliance, and the leader of Eternal Night had not been established." Grand Duke Buck replied clearly.
"What we are discussing here is not a historical issue, but the issue of the sovereignty of the Crocodile Clan in the Swamp of Despair. You just said that those pioneering knights occupy Borderlands, but that is in the eyes of the Kingsley family. There is no real land without owners. Their original owner was the Crocodile tribe. The Yongye Army leader has integrated the Crocodile tribe and has the right to receive all the related rights and interests of the Crocodile tribe. If history is really traced back, the Kingsley family will have no advantage. Right? According to historical records, the Kingsley family is only a viscount family of the ancient Andes Empire, with a territory within a hundred kilometers."
Grand Duke Barr's face turned dark, and he couldn't help but angrily said: "You are sophistry. Let's talk about the current affairs, what do you say about the ancient Andes Empire?"
Xiao En spread his hands and said with an innocent look: "The Duke was talking about historical issues just now, so I will analyze it from a historical perspective."
"Hussy." Grand Duke Buck slapped the table angrily and left.
"Half an hour in between." As the witness of this negotiation, the regent princess Sophie Liya came forward.
Seeing Grand Duke Buck walking away, Sophie Liya and Sean whispered: "I didn't expect the baron's appetite to be so big, would you not be afraid to scare our Grand Duke away?"
"If you run away, the believer can't run away from the church. As long as his army is still on the east bank, this big fish can't get rid of the hook. Do you really believe that your Excellency has the courage to die and break the net?" Holding Kingsley Family Ten in his hand Xiao En, an army of tens of thousands, sat firmly on the Diaoyutai and ate Duke Buck to death.
The conditions he proposed would certainly make Grand Duke Buck painful, but it was better than being divided by a pack of wolves.
"The courage to die and break the net is really not, but it would be difficult for him to accept it if it hurts them, especially the second one. If all his elite troops are disarmed and disarmed, only a few hundred thousand people will return. , I want to re-arm, it can't be done in a year or a half. What is the difference between it and not being saved? The Kingsley family is afraid it will be difficult to agree." Sophie Liya said from a relatively neutral perspective.
"Sit on the floor and raise the price." Xiao En said with a smile, "Slowly grinding, anyway, time is on my side."
"You know the best in your mind, remember my bottom line." The regent princess emphasized again.
Grand Duke Buck turned around in half an hour, and said blankly, "Let's continue."
An old politician like him will never lose control of his emotions just because he can’t agree on an agreement. He just used the topic and left the meeting to discuss and negotiate with his own think tank, and come up with countermeasures.
Sean sits down and starts the price, and of course he has to pay it back on the spot.
This is destined to be a long tug-of-war. The two sides wrangled back and forth around the three clauses proposed by the Yongye Army leader, striving for the best interests for themselves from various angles. This is by no means a matter between Sean and Duke Buck. It is a confrontation between two think tank teams.
What affects the final result is not only the negotiation factors on the court, but also various off-site factors.
In the preliminary agreement, the five thousand Kingsley family soldiers who returned to the Carter army with the help of the Eternal Night Army leader began to show their power. Just like Archduke Buck squeezing toothpaste, with the cooperation of the three thousand elite and twenty thousand mine slaves, The Kingsley family undeclared war against those forces that took advantage of the fire.
The strong attitude chopped off the paws that were reaching them. The first to bear the brunt was the army officer family Adolf who belonged to the royal family of Lancelot. The five thousand noble private soldiers who drove into the disputed territory without authorization were taken by the Kingsley family. The unsparing slaughter did not even leave time to talk and buffer.
It’s not over yet. This Kingsley family took advantage of the opportunity to drive in and took the other two territories that were disputed with the Adolf family and whose ownership was temporarily in the hands of the Adolf family. All were taken back. The methods were equally cruel and ruthless. surface.
On the one hand, the Kingsley family is to kill the chickens to show to the monkeys, and use this to warn those nobles who want to take advantage of the fire, telling them clearly that the Kingsley family is now in an unprecedented state of weakness, but as a grand duke, they The foundation they possess is far from what they can compare, and a little bit of strength can be crushed to death in their fingers.
And they have now started the negotiation process with Yongye Army Leader. Once their army is back, they will settle the accounts after the fall.
Furthermore, the negotiation with Yongye Junling has taken up too much of their energy, and there is no more energy to entangle them, first use force to suppress the situation to prevent the situation from getting worse, indirectly affecting their negotiations with Yongye Junling .
For the Kingsley family, rescuing their hundreds of thousands of troops now is a top priority, and everything has to be concessional to this matter.
Only by rescuing them back can the Kingsley family have a future.
The Thunder method of the Kingsley family really scared a lot of people. Many forces who originally wanted to take advantage of the fire, couldn't help weighing their own weights, and could not bear the Thunder blow of the Kingsley family.
A lean camel is bigger than a horse.
The Kingsley family has been standing for so many years, and there is still some background, and it is not so easy to collapse.
There are also unwilling forces that secretly try to obstruct the meeting between the leader of the Evernight Army and the Kingsley family, hoping that the leader of the Evernight Army will kill the Kingsley family on the east bank of the Donau River so that they can follow the soup.
It's just that most of these forces have limited capabilities and their influence is naturally limited.
However, with the entry of two major forces, the situation has become more complicated.
These two great forces are not others, but the Holy See of the Holy Ether and the Secret Society of Witches.
These two international forces have shown a vigorous and active state in the past ten years. In particular, their emphasis on secular rights has increased day by day.
This is directly related to the change of power within the Holy See of Saint Ether.
In order to fight for the succession of the next pope, the cardinals are trying to expand their influence.
Just normal preaching, it is difficult to achieve eye-catching explosive results.
Therefore, these cardinals came up with a shortcut, that is, to cooperate with the lord and nobles, and with the cooperation of these lords, to take advantage and even coercive methods to allow the people below to convert, the speed is naturally much faster than normal sermons. Also more eye-catching.
As for the secret society of witches, it is too deeply enmity with the Holy See. Since everything the Holy See wants to do, they will definitely try to stop them, especially this kind of expansion.
The greater the power of the Holy See, the smaller their living space.
This time the Holy See is aiming at the Carter leader.
Since the Carthusian and Manyu military leaders have not completely banned slavery, their rulers are very uncomfortable with the Holy See, which advocates the equality of all beings and the liberation of souls, and have resisted their full entry.
Among them, the Carter army leader with a large number of mining slaves is the most. After so many years of operation, the proportion of mining slaves has reached an alarming number here.
With the Kingsley family guarding their lives strictly, mine slave riots, riots, and defections continue to emerge one after another. If the Holy See is allowed to settle in on a large scale and propagate their tactics, the entire Carthusian commander will become a porridge. .
In the past, when the Kingsley family was in a strong position, it was naturally monolithic from top to bottom.
Now that the Kingsley family is in an unprecedented state of weakness, everything is possible.
Grand Duke Buck, who used to respect the Holy See, the Holy See, suddenly became a devout believer, and the Cardinal of the Holy See became his guest.
In particular, one of the strong competitions for the next pope, the carriage of Cardinal Enoch, the head of the diocese of Valesta, frequently appeared in front of the residence of the Grand Duke Buck in the royal capital.
"For what we just said, please entrust the bishop." Grand Barker took Cardinal Inocco's hand with sincerity, "After the incident, I am not only willing to use the rest of my life to serve the truth. God, in the next ten years, I will build at least a hundred churches in the territory, all under the name of Nott."
Nott is the last name of Cardinal Enoch before joining the Holy See of the Holy Ether.
"Your Majesty has a heart. You can build a church, but the thing named after Knott will be avoided, and the province will be unpopular. It is enough for your Majesty to have this intention."
Cardinal Enoch has a wrinkled face and smiles like a blooming chrysanthemum. "For things your Majesty entrusted, you can rest assured that this is Byron, a place with rules, and you can’t let these wild forces like them go wild. Come, Princess Sophielia is young and easy to be deceived by evil. It is normal. We have an obligation to help her correct. For the benefit of Byron, some personal interests must be discarded."
"Byron can stand for so many years, relying on the bishop's selfless people to manage from it." Grand Duke Buck sincerely praised, "I didn't find this before, is my biggest regret."
"It’s not too late to find out~EbookFREE.me~ Cardinal Enoch said with a reserved face, "It won’t be long before your Majesty will discover that the glory of the true is stronger than you think. What you worry about Not only will it not happen, it will make those people truly dedicate themselves and make the territory more stable and prosperous. "
"I'll wait and see." Grand Duke Buck had just the right expectation on his face, "I am waiting for the good news from your Excellency."
"Stay." Cardinal Enoch boarded his quaint carriage.
It wasn't until the journey was so long that Enoch couldn't help laughing out loud, losing the solemn solemnity that belonged to the cardinal.
"Knott Cathedral, haha... Hundreds of Knott Cathedrals do sound very flavorful. It seems that Buck, an old fox, is in a really terrible situation. He doesn't even need the last skin."
"But for me, it's a great thing. Hey, if the Carter leader can be taken down, I see what you can fight with me, my dear Lord St. George, toast to the glory of the true God."
Cardinal Enoch was proud to fill himself with a glass of crystal-like crystal clear wine, and toasted towards Saint Eden alone.
