Chapter three hundred and seventy-ninth asking price
"Everyone obeys the command and boards the ship according to order. We are the leaders of the Yongye Army and are here to pick you up home."
It was not until this time that the Yongye Army Leader officially explained the situation to these crocodile civilians.
"The Eternal Night Army Leader? It's really the Eternal Night Army Leader."
"We are saved, and ours are really saved."
"Go home, we're going home, we're really going home."
Only then did these crocodile civilians who were dominated by hunger react one after another, and burst into a crazy way of waking up with each other.
"This reflective arc is too long, right? Isn't it until now that we find out the difference between us and those Kingsley soldiers?"
"When you are hungry and your legs are weak and you see the fragrant vital energy porridge, your IQ will also become negative, maybe even they are worse than them!"
"Don't joke, there are countless people staring at us, completing the task as soon as possible. Who knows if Akmathur will change his mind?"
"As for orders, sir."
While the Eternal Night Army was leading the retreat of the crocodile civilians, there were countless equally hungry green eyes looking at them on both sides.
In addition to the elite troops dispatched by Akmathur to monitor the Eternal Night Army's operations, hungry soldiers were also attracted by the fragrance of the Yuanqi porridge.
If Akmathur's elite army had not been blocked in front of him, it would have caused a riot.
Akmathur witnessed the whole process expressionlessly, and his heart was surging.
Seeing the big picture 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 become opponents of such forces, if you have a slight loophole, the other party will take advantage of the situation.
The Kingsley family's failure to conquer the East this time seems to be full of accidentality and suffers the losses of their teammates.
In fact, it is full of inevitable factors.
Compared with the crocodile civilians, the Yongye Army leader was not so gentle to those mercenaries who were going to come as a partner. He directly asked the Kingsley family to help drive them to the shore, load them onto the north bank of the Bali River, and temporarily imprisoned.
After completing this transaction, the negotiations between the Eternal Night Army Leader and the Kingsley family were truly on the right track.
"We can release all the soldiers trapped on the east coast of Lord Da Gong, but Lord Da Gong needs to agree to several conditions." Sean directly issued the conditions.
"Speaking."
"First, all the troops of the Kingsley family were withdrawn twenty kilometers west of the Criminal League, and all the cities of the Criminal League were handed over to the Eternal Night Army."
"second?"
"Article 2: Kingsley soldiers in Brother Harbor disarmed on the spot, and their weapons and equipment were handed over to the Yongye Army Corps, who were responsible for transporting the personnel back to the Carter Army Corps."
"third?"
"Article 3: The Kingsley family pays 80 million royal gold coins to make a start-up capital for the crocodile people to rebuild their homes."
“Where is the fourth?”
“That’s all.”
"That's all?" Grand Duke Buck looked at Sean with a sarcastic look on his face, "I thought the Baron would ask me to hand over the position of Grand Duke of Carter."
Sean said righteously: "I am not such a greedy person. We will never occupy half an inch of the original land of the Kingsley family."
"Isn't that greedy?" Grand Duke Buck sneered even more, "I have never seen a person who is more greedy than Lord Baron."
Sean's face had been trained thicker than the city walls, and it would not be affected by Grand Duke Buck's attitude. "So the Grand Duke has objections to our conditions?"
"It's not just an objection? I'm going to have a big objection." Grand Duke Buck restrained his personal emotions and said with a solemn expression, "Let's talk one by one."
"First, let our army retreat twenty kilometers west of the Alliance of Criminals. This is inconsistent with what you just said that it is not to occupy half an inch of the original land of the Kingsley family. The so-called Alliance of Criminals is nothing more than a group of bandits who occupy the mountains and become kings. Those towns were actually the knights enthroned by the Kingsley family, and they were originally the land of the Kingsley family."
"Wait?" Sean made a pause gesture and interrupted Buck's great justice: "These towns were originally established by the knights of the Kingsley family, but they were all pioneer knights and occupied despair swamp land. If it were according to the theory of the Grand Duke, our eternal night army leader's enthroned pioneer knights will establish a town under the Carter army leader. Will this town become the existing land of the eternal night army leader? If this is true, wouldn't the entire alliance be in chaos?"
"Your Excellency's metaphor is not appropriate. It is true that the knights who established these towns were pioneering knights, but they occupied the Borderlands. At that time, the Despair Swamp did not belong to the Byron Alliance, and the Eternal Night Army Leader had not yet been established." Grand Duke Buck replied clearly.
"What we are discussing here is not a historical issue, but a sovereignty of the Crocodile tribes in the Despair Swamp. You just said that those pioneer knights occupied the Borderless Land, but that was only in the eyes of the Kingsley family. There is no real Borderless Land in this world. Their original owner was the Crocodile tribe. The Eternal Night Army Leader had the right to accept all the relevant rights and interests of the Crocodile tribes. If you really trace the history, the Kingsley family would not have an advantage, right? According to historical records, the Kingsley family is just a viscount family in the ancient Andes Empire, and its territory is only a hundred kilometers."
Grand Duke Barr turned black and couldn't help but angrily, "You are sophistry. Let's talk about the current affairs. What are you talking about the ancient Andes Empire?"
Sean spread his hands and said with an innocent look on his face: "Just just now, the grand duke was talking about historical issues, so I just analyzed it from a historical perspective."
"Nothing is wrong." Grand Duke Buck slapped the table in anger and left the table.
"Half an hour off," said Sufeilia, the regent princess who was witness to the negotiations.
Seeing that Grand Duke Buck had gone away, Sufeilia and Sean whispered: "I didn't expect that the Baron's appetite was so big, so why don't you be afraid of scaring away our Grand Duke?"
"If you run away, believers can't run away. As long as his army is still on the east coast, this big fish cannot get rid of the hook. Do you really believe that the Grand Duke has the courage to fight to the death?" Sean, who held the Kingsley family's army in his hand, sat firmly on Diaoyutai and ate Grand Duke Buck to death.
The conditions he put forward will certainly make Grand Duke Buck feel pain in his bones, but it is better than being divided by a group of wolves.
"It's really not the courage to break the ball to death, but it's hard for him to accept it if it hurts them, especially the second one. If all his elite troops are disarmed, they will only be more than 100,000 leaders. If they want to re-arm, it will not be completed in a year or two. What's the difference between not being rescued? The Kingsley family is afraid it will be difficult for them to agree." Sufeiya said from a relatively neutral perspective.
"It's just a price." Sean smiled, "Get slowly, time is on my side anyway."
"It's best if you know it in your heart, but remember my bottom line." The Regent Princess emphasized again.
Grand Duke Buck turned back in less than half an hour and said expressionlessly: "Let's continue."
An old politician like him will never lose control of his emotions just because he couldn't reach an agreement. He just took advantage of the situation and left the seat to discuss and negotiate with his think tank team, and came up with his response opinions.
Sean raised the price on the ground, and of course he had to pay it back on the spot.
This is destined to be a long tug-of-war. The two sides argue back and forth around the three terms proposed by the Yongye Army Leader, fighting for the greatest benefit for themselves from various angles. This is by no means a matter between Sean and Grand Duke Buck, but a confrontation between two think tank teams.
What affects the final result is not only the on-site negotiation factors, 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 Yongye Army began to show their power. With the cooperation of the three thousand elite soldiers squeezed out by the Grand Duke Buck and the 20,000 mine slave soldiers, the Kingsley family fought undeclared against those forces that took advantage of the situation.
The tough-minded chopped off the paws that reached out to them. The first one was Adolf, a military servant family who belonged to the Lancelot royal family. They drove into the disputed territory without authorization, and were killed by the Kingsley family without even leaving time to make peace.
This is not the end. This Kingsley family army took the opportunity to go straight in and took back the other two places that were controversial with the Adolf family. The ownership was temporarily in the hands of the Adolf family and the methods were also cruel and ruthless.
On the one hand, the Kingsley family killed chickens and showed them to monkeys, using this to warn the Lords and nobles who wanted to take advantage of the situation, and clearly told them that it is true that the Kingsley family is now in an unprecedented state of weakness, but as a grand duke family, the foundation they have is far from comparable to that of them. If a little power is leaked in the cracks of their fingers, they can crush them to death.
And they have now started the negotiation process with the Yongye Army Leader. Once their army is taken back, they will settle the accounts after the fall.
In addition, the negotiations with the Yongye Army Leader have occupied too much of their energy and have no more energy to entangle them. They must first forcefully suppress them with force to prevent the situation from deteriorating further and indirectly affect their negotiations with the Yongye Army Leader.
For the Kingsley family, rescuing their own army of more than 100,000 is the top priority now, and everything has to be concessions for this matter.
Only by rescuing them back can the Kingsley family have a future.
The Kingsley family's thunder methods really scared many people. Many forces that originally wanted to take advantage of the situation couldn't help but weigh their own weight and whether they could withstand the Kingsley family's thunder attack.
A lean camel is bigger than a horse.
The Kingsley family has been standing for so many years, but it still has its foundation and is not so easy to collapse.
There were also unwilling forces, secretly trying to obstruct the talks between the Yongye Army leader and the Kingsley family, hoping that the Yongye Army leader would completely kill the Kingsley family to the east bank of the Dunube River so that they could drink soup with them.
However, most of these forces have limited capabilities and naturally have limited influence.
However, the situation has become more complicated by the entry of two major forces.
These two major forces are nothing but the Holy Ethereal Church and the Witches secretly met.
These two international forces have shown a vigorous active state in the past decade, especially the emphasis on secular rights is increasing day by day.
This has a direct relationship with the change of power within the Holy Astrology.
In order to compete for the inheritance of the next pope, the cardinals are trying to expand their influence.
It is just a normal sermon, and it is difficult to achieve eye-catching explosive results.
Therefore, these cardinals came up with a shortcut, that is, to cooperate with the Lords and nobles, and to use temptations and even compulsory methods to convert the people below, naturally, the speed is much faster than normal preaching and is more eye-catching.
As for the secret meeting of witches, they have made too much enemies with the Holy Ethereum. From what the Holy See wants to do, they will definitely try every means to stop it, especially those of such expansionary forces.
The greater the power of the Holy See, the smaller their living space will be.
This time the Holy See was the Carter Army leader.
Since the Carter Army and the Manyu Army have not completely banned slavery, their rulers are very unaware of the Holy See, which advocates equality of all beings and liberation of souls, and have always resisted their full entry.
Among them, the Carter Army leader, which has a large number of mine slaves, is the most important. After so many years of operation, the proportion of mine slaves has reached an astonishing number here.
While the Kingsley family was strictly guarding the situation, there were still endless riots, riots, and defections. If the Holy See was allowed to settle in on a large scale and promote their own tricks, the entire Carter Army leader would probably turn into a pot of porridge.
When the Kingsley family was in a strong position, they were naturally aligned from top to bottom.
Now that the Kingsley family is in an unprecedented state of weakness, everything is possible.
Grand Duke Buck, who was not grateful to the Holy See, suddenly became a devout believer, and the Cardinal of the Holy See became his guest of honor.
Especially one of the next pope's strong competition, Cardinal Inoko, the general leader of the Diocese of Valesta, frequently appeared in front of Grand Duke Buck's residence in the royal capital.
"I'll ask the Bishop for what we just said." Grand Duke Buck took Cardinal Inoko's hand sincerely, "After the matter is accomplished, I will not only be willing to spend the rest of my life serving the God of Truth, but in the next ten years, I will also build at least one hundred churches in the territory, all under the name of Nott."
Nott is the surname of Cardinal Inoko before he joined the Holy See.
"Your Majesty is willing to do it, and you can do it by building a church, but you can avoid it by not being able to lose the verbal remarks. It is enough for Your Majesty to have this intention."
Cardinal Inoko's wrinkled face was smiling like a blooming chrysanthemum. "Don't worry, what Your Majesty has entrusted, this is Byron. There are rules, and they cannot be allowed to be rude and chaotic. His Highness Sufilia is young and easily deceived by evil spirits. We have the obligation to help her correct it. For the interests of all Byron, some personal interests must be abandoned."
"Byron can stand for so many years and never fall, because of the selfless people like the Bishop." Grand Duke Buck sincerely praised, "It is my greatest regret to not discover this before."
"It's not too late to discover it now." Cardinal Inoko said with a reserved look on his face, "It won't take long for Your Majesty to discover that the glory of the true God is stronger than you think. What you are worried about will not only not happen, but will make those people sincerely devote themselves and make their territory more stable and rich."
"I'll wait and see." Grand Duke Buck had a perfect expectation on his face, "I'll wait for good news from His Excellency the Bishop."
"Stay." Cardinal Inoko boarded his quaint carriage.
It was not until I walked far that Inoko couldn't help laughing loudly, and the solemnity that belonged to the Cardinal was lost.
"Not Cathedral, haha... hundreds of Nott Cathedrals do sound very interesting. It seems that the old fox Buck is in a very bad situation. He even doesn't even need the last dough."
"But it is a great thing for me. Hehe, if you can take the Carter army down, I see what you can fight with me. My dear Bishop St. George, toast to the glory of the true God."
Cardinal Inoko proudly filled himself with a glass of crystal-like wine, and raised his glass in the direction of St. Eden alone.
