Chapter 376 Negotiations at the Border
? Facing Hossman's elegant and confident smile, Green realized that this great nobleman, who was known for his long-term vision and keen sense of smell, did not really lose his head. The frequent aristocratic gatherings in Shanghai are not as simple as "business exchanges". In the transactions related to alchemy potions and magic technology, a group headed by the Hosman family is vigilant against Cecil's forces. has been formed.
This group has the same pursuit of interests and the same goal of vigilance. Ironically, the huge interests that made this group gather were created by Cecil Land—the one they are vigilant against is also Cecil collar.
The nascent Cecil Territory is a land of gold and silver—a consensus that gradually formed in the last part of last winter. At the beginning, the nobles of the southern border did not realize the value of the alchemy pharmacy merchants walking around and the gradually spreading magic net and mining machinery system. After the information, the noble lords realized how large the scale of this business has become. As long as someone with a little brain makes a little calculation, they will be stunned by the amazing wealth, and then realize that they are in. The little gold coin that was grabbed in the process was nothing compared to the wealth grabbed by the entire Cecil family.
Such a huge amount of gold and silver is accumulating in the treasury of the Cecil family, who amassed wealth not through war, but more than war.
However, it is not wise to rashly confront the surname Cecil. No matter what this family has been like in the past century, it is an absolute fact that they have regained the honor, so even the king himself must be respectful. Facing today's Cecil family with due respect, but if a reasonable reason can be found, a reason that can unite most of the nobles in the southern region, and it can be justified in front of the royal family... It seems that the problem is not that complicated.
"It is said that the Duke of Cecil has gathered an army of thousands of people, which shows at least one thing - even if his behavior is a little crazy, his reason still exists, and he knows that he must have enough force to be able to To protect his wealth," said Earl Hossman unhurriedly, "the army is mostly recruits, but it is still considerable, and Cecil Land is said to have defended twice from monsters from the Gondor Wastes. Offensive, although I think this should be the personal strength of the legendary grand duke, but it also shows that Cecil's army has seen blood - so we must unite a group of people to ensure safety."
"You also mentioned the personal strength of Grand Duke Cecil... an ancient legend, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with?"
"Yes, of course it's difficult to deal with," said Earl Hossman, finally smiling, "so we have to find a way to restrain the duke himself - at least so that he has no time to take care of him for a short period of time."
Green looked at his master, even as the intelligence chief on the territory,
He can't always see through the earl's whole mind, but he knows that Earl Hossman has probably arranged a lot of other things in secret: "Do you have a solution?"
"Gawain? Duke Cecil is not just destroying Anzu's aristocracy, he has offended a lot of people," Earl Hossman said with a smile, "Have you heard that Cecil led the way recently? The matter of sheltering Ability God believers?"
"...Of course," Green nodded, "I got the information immediately, Cecil Land publicly announced that it would accept those exiles who were exiled by the Church of the Holy Light and sentenced to heresy."
Earl Hosman nodded slightly: "The Church of the Holy Light has been coveting the land of the South for a long time..."
"...Do you want those missionaries to join in?" Green frowned immediately. "With all due respect, once those priests come in, it's not that easy to ask them to leave..."
"I won't give up a lot of wealth," Earl Horsman shook his head, "but the power of the Church of the Holy Light can still be borrowed - since they want to fight for their Lord, let them Fight for the Lord."
...
In the eastern border of Ansu, standing in front of the "Covenant Fort" in the border buffer zone, Duke Silas Roren rode his horse that had followed him for many years, and took a deep breath against the cold spring wind from the direction of Typhon. The cool breath quickly filled his lungs, which lifted his spirits slightly.
The tall contract fort stands on a rocky platform. In the past almost the whole winter, countless slave laborers, masons, carpenters and extraordinary people built this fort in the shortest time regardless of cost. Nearly 100 slaves died of exhaustion or other accidents in the process, and even an architect from Typhon was killed by falling rocks from the dome, and it was worth paying such a large price - this strong and huge fortress Rising from the ground, despite the impossibly short hours, the castle is still worthy of the historic significance it is about to play.
The Treaty Fort is a mixture of the two styles of Ansu and Typhon. It not only has the elegance and delicacy of the Ansu court, but also reflects the deep solemnity of the Typhon Empire with its black towers. The place where the guards and ministers of the two countries rested and watched, and there was only one road leading to the fortress. Ansu and Typhon each occupied one side of the road. Currently, Silas Lauren is located near Ansu. this side.
He controlled the slightly restless warhorse under him - this horse followed him to deal with the Typhons for many years, and even learned to recognize the breath of the Typhon soldiers, who were standing on the opposite side of the road. The armor he wore, the flag he hung, and the emblem he wore made the war horse a little nervous—then he raised his head and looked at the figure on the opposite side of the wide road.
A valiant female knight mounted on a brown warhorse. The female knight had impressive long gray hair and looked quite young. She did not wear a helmet and did not wear her long hair, but let The hair fluttered freely in the wind, and a pair of sharp eyes came out from under the fluttering hair, which was also falling on Silas Lauren at this moment.
Silas ?? Lauren, who has the temperament of a warrior, smiled at the female knight, and greeted the female knight politely without losing a sense of distance. Of course, he knew what the female knight was - the heir of the Wendell family of the Typhon Empire. , the youngest wolf general in history, and the current highest-ranking commander of Winter Wolf Castle. Since this female commander took over Winter Wolf Castle, the knights of the Roren family, and even Silas Roren himself She has dealt with more than once, and the two sides can be said to be "old acquaintances".
After saying hello, Duke Laurent couldn't help but look back at Berk?? Laurent, who was also riding behind him, the heir to the Lauren family, who also had talent far beyond his peers. They are all regarded as the pride of Changfeng Fortress, but compared with the "General Wolf" on the opposite side, Belk is really immature.
But it doesn’t matter, acquired experience and hard work can make up for a lot of things. Belk has the excellent blood of the Loren family, and also has a strong belief in the pursuit of honor. As long as this motivation is maintained, this young man will be able to take charge of Changfeng Fortress sooner or later. of.
The giant sun gradually reached the highest point in the sky. As the magic power from the sun gradually filled, the top of the dome of the Covenant Castle began to shine brightly. The magic material embedded in the dome absorbed the magic power of the sun, and then drove the fan. The heavy door wrapped in purple steel slowly opened.
The ceremonial officer came out of the castle and began to play music in front of the castle drawbridge.
A quarter of an hour after noon, the hazy lines on the surface of the giant sun began to become clear. Two parallel trains appeared on the broad road leading to the castle. One train had Anzu's sword and shield emblem hanging, and the other had Typhon's badge. Shield and crown banner.
The soldiers on both sides of the road began to get nervous, and a low noise of armor blades rubbing against each other sounded all around. Silas Lauren also tightened his muscles, staring intently at the two trains that were heading for the castle gate— - He did not know which carriage the king was in, nor which carriage the emperor of Typhon was in, but he knew that in every carriage there were at least two high knights and one high mage, and There are also two legendary powerhouses guarding the entire team. Under such strict protection, in theory, there will be no problems.
But he couldn't help but get nervous. After all, this was the moment that decided the fate of the two countries.
——The king is guarded by a strong person directly under the royal family. He, the Duke of the Eastern Region, is responsible for the security of the entire treaty castle.
Nothing happened. With Silas?? Laurent, Belk?? Laurent, and Andersa?? Wendell watching on the opposite side, the convoy of the rulers of the two countries and their team of ministers drove into the contract gate of the fort.
Fifteen minutes later, the heavy gate of the Covenant Castle slowly closed, and above the castle, the skylight on the dome of the main building opened, and two beams of bright magic light passed through the skylight and shot straight to the sky.
Seeing those two beams of light, Duke Lauren heaved a sigh of relief.
That was the signal released by the legendary powerhouses who entered the castle for personal escort-King Ansu and Emperor Typhon each had a legendary spellcaster. Connected together, and then sent a signal to the skylight on the dome, as long as the signal beam is still there, it means that the hearts of the two rulers of Ansu and Typhon are still beating.
Next, according to the previously negotiated negotiation process, the monarchs of the two countries will first conduct face-to-face secret talks lasting half a day, and then will conduct open and formal negotiations, including Silas Lauren, the Duke of the Eastern Region. After attending the negotiation process, and finally in the presence of everyone, the two countries will conclude a formal peace treaty.
Silas Lauren silently pondered the process of the next meeting, and raised his head slightly, staring at the two signal beams above the castle that shot straight into the sky and aroused everyone's emotions.
A small bird flew by in the clear sky. It seemed to be curious about the two unusual beams. It circled between the beams a few times, and then made a melodious chirping as it circled towards a higher place. It flew away and disappeared at the end of Duke Rollan's sight.
The birds chirping in the sky above the Fortress of the Covenant... Maybe this is a symbol of peace.
Although a warrior, Duke Silas Laurent, who occasionally has poetic thoughts, sighed slightly in his heart.
