Chapter 377: Sincerity

Grand Duke Buck snorted and asked blankly, "So, can your Highness promise now?"
"There is still no way to promise anything." Sophie Liya made a helpless expression, "Others don't know, don't your Excellency also know? The Yongye army leader is so powerful, how can it be just a vassal of mine? The real relationship between us is just an alliance of interests. I am still on the passive side. When the Jacob River reflowed, people came to the door on their own initiative. I just took the opportunity to seek some of my own interests. If they didn’t notify me at the time. We, can you imagine, what kind of situation we will be like now? My fief will become an out-and-out ghost. In fact, my influence on the leader of Yongye is quite limited."
Grand Duke Buck just looked at Sophia Liya expressionlessly and watched her performance.
The highest level of lying is true and false.
Sophie Liya would not be far apart even if she hadn't cultivated to the highest level.
Grand Duke Buck believes that the relationship between the Princess Regent and the leader of Yongye is indeed as she said. It is just an alliance of interests. After all, the strength of the leader of Yongye lies there. If Sophielia has the ability to support such a powerful puppet , It might as well be self-fat.
He also believed that the re-flow of the Jacob River was indeed led by the Yongye Army.
He had personally experienced the power of black powder, and they should have relied on this to make the Jacob River reflow.
But now you say these things, don't you think it's too late?
If it had been known that the leader of the Yongye Army had the secret weapon of black powder in his hands, why would the Kingsley family suffer such a big loss?
Sophie Liya wanted to say that she had no influence on the Yongye Army leader, and she didn't believe it when she killed him.
Where did the large amount of cheap military rations led by Yongye Army come from?
She hadn’t transported it alone. If she hadn’t provided her rations, most of them would be led by the Yongye army in the mountains just ten years ago. It would be difficult to provide for her own army, let alone provide a large amount of food to help despair. swamp.
As long as the regent princess cuts off the supply of rations, the leader of Yongye will fall into the same food shortage situation as the Kingsley family, and he will not obediently give up-Grand Duke Buck does not know that his food supplier has already turned to the embrace of the leader , The eight thousand tons of military rations that should have been sold to him are now in Sean's pocket.
Even if you don’t use the rations, there is also the Jacob River trade.
With this as a means of threat, why would Yong Ye Jun leader ignore her three points?
In the end, Grand Duke Buck did not choose to tear down the regent princess, because he knew that in this case, the power of truth was pale and feeble. He asked hardly: "You and I know that the Kingsley family does not speak secret words. Once the elite army of the United States is completely annihilated, what kind of fatal impact will it have on the Carthusian leader? The covenant three hundred years ago, let's put aside it. If the Carthusian leader falls into a long war, the metal of the entire Byron alliance The supply is reduced by half out of thin air. When the Kingsley family’s 300-year heritage cannot continue, I’m not sure if I can maintain my sense. Once those large mines experience large-scale collapses, it will not last for ten or eight years. , Don't want to resume production."
Grand Duke Buck’s implication is very obvious. If the Kingsley family is over, you should not expect to get cheap. He will destroy those mines at all costs. Then, no matter who will fall into the hands of anyone, you will not want to resume production in a short time. The entire Byron Alliance will be impacted. Once the Odin orcs are given a chance, the Kingsley family will drag the entire Byron Alliance to their burial.
Grand Duke Buck knew exactly what the Princess Regent feared most.
"Are you threatening me?" Sophie Liya's jade face suddenly became cold, her delicate eyebrows raised, and there was a suffocation that could not be concealed.
"Threat? How come? I'm just stating a fact." Grand Duke Buck looked like a broken jar.
When the third fleet of the Commons family was defeated and the Kingsley family's 200,000 army was trapped on the east bank of the Donau River.
His face has been lost, and the Lords and Nobles of Valesta made him realize this more clearly.
In order to rescue his army, he no longer cares about these imaginary ones.
At this moment, the air became very cold and hard.
The two people standing at the peak of power just looked at each other like this, seeming to want to find something in each other's looks and expressions.
Unfortunately, nothing was achieved.
Both of them are out-and-out masters of disguise, and they control their emotions freely.
Especially on this occasion, the emotions expressed have a unique and profound meaning.
This suffocating atmosphere lasted for three minutes before it thawed with Sophia’s smile, "Your Majesty is Laurie’s uncle, Laurie’s relatives are my relatives, everyone is a family, I How can it be impossible to save it? But I can only guarantee that I will do my best to deal with it, but I can't guarantee whether I can succeed."
"Your Highness is enough." Grand Duke Barker was overjoyed, showing his first smile in these days, his tense nerves finally relaxed a little, only feeling terribly tired.
Although the promise of the regent princess is not equivalent to a death-free coupon, it at least represents an attitude, an attitude that can enter the negotiation process.
Judging from Sophie Liya's previous performance, she must ventilate with the Yongye Army leader and reached a certain consensus.
The rest is the question of cost, for which he is already mentally prepared.
Sophie Liya said: "When negotiating this kind of thing, there is always someone who has to bow his head first. Your Majesty is the one who came over. Needless to say, I should understand this truth. Now that we are at a disadvantage, should we take the initiative to release this signal?"
Grand Duke Buck asked thoughtfully: "What does your Highness mean?"
"I heard that there are nearly 20,000 crocodile civilians in your army. Why don't you pass them to Baron Sean as a gift for peace talks to show your sincerity?" Sophie Liya spoke freely, "I still listen. It is said that your supreme commander, General Aker Messer, wants to use the 20,000 crocodile tribes to obtain a large amount of military rations from the leader of the Eternal Night Army. What is the point of doing this? If the peace talks fail, no matter how much food your army has, it will only delay The time of your own collapse, if the peace talks are successful, and so much food, you can't transport it back all the way, right?"
"His Royal Highness can make sure that if we release the 20,000 crocodile civilians, the leader of Yongye will agree to the peace talks?" Grand Duke Buck asked rhetorically.
"I still can't guarantee this, I just proposed a possibility, how to choose, the right is still in the hands of your majesty." Sophie Liya's answer is still ambiguous, "if your majesty is willing to nod, when I persuade Baron Sean, At least one more hole card."
"As long as the Yongye army leader shows sincerity in peace talks and releases the 20,000 crocodile civilians, what will be the difficulty." Duke Buck said without hesitation.
"How does Baron Sean do to show sincerity in peace talks?" Sophie Liya asked rhetorically.
"Let me cross the river with twenty thousand elites."
"Understood, I will convey it to Baron Sean to see how they respond, and ask the Grand Duke to go back and wait for the good news. I will notify you as soon as I have news."
"Then trouble your Highness, this is a little bit of my thoughts, please accept it very much." Grand Duke Buck pushed a gift list to Sophie Liya.
"Your Excellency, it's really polite." The smile on Sophie Liya's face was sweeter. Although it was just a surprise, the numbers on the gift list still made her heart skip a beat.
Although there are rumors that the Kingsley family is in financial crisis, but the lean camel is bigger than the horse, and the other side can cut a piece of meat.
Not to mention to save his 200,000 army, Grand Duke Buck has lost his blood. What he just pushed over is not only a golden mountain and silver mountain, but a golden mountain range, a long-coveted Lancelot royal family. The 100-year dominance of the Viscount Territory, where the annual output is not less than one million royal gold coins, it is not a problem to manage two or three million, it is definitely a big deal.
This may not be a big deal compared to what the Yongye Army commanded in the Swamp of Despair, but it was Sophie Liya who was on the throne and got it easily, with a different nature.
Under the bridge of Regent Princess Sophie Liya, Yongye Junling and the Kingsley family formally reached a consensus and began a long negotiation.
At the beginning, there were still talks in the air, and in the end, it was Sean who led the negotiation team to the royal capital Valesta.
The initial issue between the two parties was still centered on the 20,000 crocodile civilians. After all, this issue is the most pressing. The longer the crocodile civilians stay in the hands of the Kingsley family's conquest, the more casualties they will suffer. The depreciation will be worse.
The terms of exchange offered by the Kingsley family have also changed. It is no longer for food, but for the leader of the Eternal Night Army to release a Kingsley family elite to cross the river.
The reason for this change is due to the changes in the Kingsley family's situation. Their neighbors are getting more and more excessive. If the Kingsley family does not fight back, they will be wiped out.
However, there are not so many mobile units within the Carthusian command that can be mobilized. The mine slaves have also received news and are whispering in the dark corners. Once there is an opportunity, they will inevitably rise. At that time, even the true gods have come to the world. , Can not save the Carter leader.
"Your Excellency, it is better for us to take a step back. You release all the civilians of the Crocodile Clan in your hands. Not only did I let you five thousand elites cross the river, I also sent a fleet to transport them back to the Carthusian leader." Shaun said, full of flowers. "Even if we really put the 20,000 elite back, they will return to the Carter army in a drag, not a month or two, never want to do it, let alone the Swamp of Despair is about to enter the rainy season, I am afraid that it will be slower. , If there is our help, from the Danube to the Jacob, it will definitely not take more than a week, we can send it to the designated location."
Sean and the others have now spotted the weakness of the Kingsley family, taking advantage of the fire.
Use the troop transport as a condition to release the Kingsley family elite to return home, because the more Kingsley family soldiers detained on the east bank of the Donau River, the greater the cards they hold in the subsequent negotiations, and The faster the food consumption rate, the less reaction time left for Grand Duke Buck, and the greater the possibility of making concessions.
As for whether it will flood other forces that want to take advantage of the fire during this process, Yong Ye Jun leader can't control it, and he has no ties to them, and he has no obligation to take care of their interests.
Grand Duke Buck showed his heartbeat expression.
The soldiers are very fast.
As Sean just said, now the Swamp of Despair has entered the rainy season. For the heavy armored infantry, the muddy road is simply a disaster. Even if the Yongye Army leader agreed to let 20,000 Kingsley family soldiers cross the river and drove back to the Carter leader, they still don't know how long it will take. Their enemies have long been informed that they have united.
What's more, there are other constraints, such as logistical supplies, and the Yongye Army leader's unwillingness to let go. In their eyes, the 20,000 crocodile civilians are not worth the price.
But they can afford it, but the Kingsley family can't.
Five thousand is a very accurate number, barely reaching the bottom line of the Kingsley family's use. When the time comes, thousands of elite and tens of thousands of slave soldiers will be drawn from the territory to deal with those who take advantage of the fire.
According to Grand Duke Buck’s understanding of Yongye’s military leader, this number was not derived out of thin air, but was obtained after careful calculation by their military staff.
"Five thousand is five thousand." Grand Duke Buck gritted his teeth, and finally struggled. "In addition to the five thousand elite, you are also responsible for transporting 200 tons of grain and grass, free of charge."
The Huayu Plateau food merchant, who has been attracted by his own hardships with a lot of money, has already invested in the news that the Yongye Army has led him. Duke Buck already knows it, and now itchy teeth that he hates at Midnight Menghui, but there is nothing to do.
If you lose, you lose. I don't have any extra energy to take care of them. It is only natural for those grain merchants to find a way out.
But it is impossible to have soldiers without food.
"No problem." Sean is a trader who has never been willing to lose. "But you have to use those 10,000 mercenaries as a supplement."
When the Kingsley family attacked Brother Port before, they recruited tens of thousands of mercenary cannon fodder from the criminal alliance cities and Huayu Plateau food merchants, and there are still tens of thousands remaining.
What do they want these mercenaries to do?
Duke Buck flashed this question in his mind, but he almost nodded his head without hesitation: "Deal."
No matter what Yongye Army leader wants to do, they are willing to accept it, and the Kingsley family is still eager.
Because these ten thousand mercenaries have become a scourge in the Kingsley family's conquest of the East. They come for money from beginning to end, and they have no loyalty or recognition to the Kingsley family.
When the Kingsley family conquered the Eastern Army into a desperate situation, they did not think about how to overcome the difficulties with them, but about how to get their commission back home.
They have become the biggest instability factor.
If the Yongye Army leader can't take them away and be cleared by the Kingsley family, it will be a matter of time.
The person above moved his mouth, and the person below had short legs.
The agreement between Sean and Archduke Buck was just a few words.
For these few words of them, the leader of Yongye and the Kingsley family conquered the East Army began to go round and round.
The transport ships led by Yongye began to sail into Brother Port in large numbers.
"Brother, waited on the battlefield to help us slaughter a few robbers who took advantage of the fire. They really thought our Kingsley family was over."
"No problem, you guys hold on. Now the negotiations have started. I believe it won't be long before you can set foot on the way home. See you at home."
"Goodbye home."
The Port of Brothers is a parting scene, and there is no clear statement, but they all know that for many people, this is a farewell, and there may be no chance to meet again in this life.
After all, these five thousand elite soldiers did not let them go home, but rushed to the battlefield.
This Akmeser didn't hide it, he said it from the beginning.
There is no way to lie about this kind of thing~EbookFREE.me~ If you wait until the ground, the soldiers find that they are not going home, but going to the battlefield. Once they resist, it will be a disaster for the Kingsley family.
What's more, they have to appease the Kingsley family soldiers who are left behind.
With the passage of time, the difficulty of comforting them has increased day by day, and the feelings of returning home and anxiety have become stronger.
The only good news is that since the two sides started the formal negotiation process, the army led by Yongye Army only blocked it, and no longer played heart attack tactics.
With the majesty of the past, Akmeser was barely able to suppress it.
Five thousand people used a total of three building ships and eighty troop-carrying merchant ships led by the Yongye Army.
The ship is worthy of being an inland river troop transport artifact, with a single transport volume more than ten times that of ordinary troop transport ships.
"The five thousand soldiers have all been loaded on the ship. This is the roster. Please check with your Excellency the Marshal." Brann and Akmeser performed the final handover.
For this kind of task, the Yongye army leader is very skilled and meticulous.
