Chapter 459: Departure

After losing the barren land, Waterman's idea of ​​fighting Dane in the desert has become unrealistic.
At this moment, the nearly 70-year-old, but still full of spirits, the old Earl, who is as strong as a real bull, is wearing a heavy knight plate armor, jumping and cursing in his march account.
"Stupid! Waste! Trash! Lao Tzu supported the fortress built with so much money in that year, and in the hands of that scum, he couldn't hold on even for a day! Even if he died, such a good situation, all his mother gave Funeral! I should have known that he was an incompetent guy, and it was time to chop him up and feed the dog! "
The person he scolded was, naturally, his illegitimate brother.
No wonder he was so angry, it is really too bad. It is not reliable to go forward to fight, but just go back so dimly? That's even more impossible!
Organized such an army with great momentum, without a fight, and scared away by others, then the reputation of Earl Waterman and the entire Bull family will probably become a laughing stock in the Duchy of Florence. Already.
Waterman did not want to take the liberty to move forward, fight an uncertain battle, and lose his precious army. I don't want to just go back and tell others a joke.
When he was in a dilemma, it was Dane who was the ‘enemy’ across from him and sent him ‘warmth’.
It was a team of peace ambassadors. They brought Dane's goodwill, brought peace, and brought a step to Waterman so that he could slip.
With the Count of the Bull's temper, he would not consider peace talks unless he had no choice. Especially when he saw Dane's conditions, he was almost angry and almost blasted the messenger out.
The main conditions given by Dane are as follows:
The first is to require Waterman to represent the Principality of Florence, recognize the division of the region between Florence and the Province of Sindelaire during the Second Caesar Empire, and promise not to interfere in any way with Sinde Political, economic and military activities in Lyle.
Second, Waterman must stop all unfair treatment of Hindrell businessmen. This unfair treatment includes taxation, including restrictions on the right of way to maintain normal commercial trade between the two places.
Third, the Principality of Florence is the largest country in Hindler's onshore commercial activities. The two sides have a very strong tradition of commercial trade. They should be good business partners to each other. They should uphold the principle of mutual benefit and negotiate. A set of cooperation treaties that can stimulate trade prosperity for both sides.
The third one, regardless of the first two, seems to be offensive in tone, but from the content point of view, this is tantamount to telling Waterman that your interests in Hindler are all done, honestly Let's go back.
How can this make him angry?
He even shouted that he would lead the army to continue eastward, and would not end without cutting off Dane's head.
However, in the end, the Count of the Angry Bull was stopped by his aides, his family members, and other nobles in the coalition that followed him.
In this war, they no longer occupied the initiative, and there was no good fruit to fight. What's more, the front-line battle report came from the front, and these arrogant nobles of Florence found in amazement that the 'Sindler's country daddy' who had not been regarded by them at all had actually Strong strength.
To this day, the nobles of Florence still haven't figured out why the gates of the barren land were so inexplicably opened, and it's not clear how powerful Dyne's intelligence and secret agents are. However, it was just the powerful artillery formation of Dane and the vanguard wing led by Caroline. The performance of these two units in a battle that captured the gate was enough to be elite.
At least, most of the Florence aristocrats would not feel that their army could have such combat power.
These alone have made the Florence people a little dazed, however, this is not the most frightening thing for them. What really scared them was the rumor that the branch used an arbitrary door spell to attack the wall with a teleportation tactic.
It was an elite knight group with a size of 100 people and an average strength of more than 10 professional levels! Even the Duke of Guards Cavaliers, the most famous elite legion in the Duchy of Florence, could not have possessed such strength?
The Duke's Guard has three hundred formal knights with outstanding strength, which is the greatest reliance of the Grand Duke of Florence to secure the position of head of state.
No one can imagine that in the wild land in the impression of Hindler, it is possible to have an army with an average strength that is even stronger than the Duke's Guard.
This is really a scary situation.
The nobles of Florence were scared. They followed the Earl of the Bulls to this desert in order to gain some benefits, but they didn't want to fight a tough battle and fold their old capital here.
...
Waterman's army stayed for three days, two days west of the Badlands Pass, without moving. To the west, the bull's subordinates disagreed, and he was a little faint at heart. Go back, without that face.
But in the end, his face was still dead, and with the help of his men, Waterman made the right choice.
He did not accept Dane's terms, but he did not dare to continue to approach the barren land and retreated.
Dane was informed of the news, and felt that it did not exceed his expectations. He didn't think that Waterman would accept his conditions so easily, and that he wanted to reach a more reliable trade agreement with the Florentines, which required strength and long-term negotiations to determine.
As long as he didn't fight Waterman, Dane would be satisfied.
But ~ EbookFREE.me ~ influence still exists after all.
Over the next three months, the land trade between Hindler and Florence was almost frozen. The Earl of Bulls retaliated to prevent a large number of caravan trade from both sides of the land border, imposed heavy taxes on Hindler's merchants, and even directly refused entry. Several caravans were directly detained.
Dane also returned color. You treat the merchants of Hindrell badly, then I treat the Florensa badly.
The stagnation of trade has led to the loss of a large number of economic benefits. However, Dane believes that all of this is only temporary, and in the end, Waterman will definitely give in.
The reason is very simple. For Dane, land trade is only part of his income, and shipping is the real big head. However, the territory of the Earl of the Bulls depends on land trade for food.
