Chapter 1444 Shocked
The lord's waiter in the flower collar is a middle-aged man, not to mention a big belly, and the top of his head is bright, reflecting the light under the candlelight.
The other party's clothes are luxurious but a little vulgar.
On a silk coat, I wish I could hang all the gold and silver on it. Every step I take will make a tinkling sound.
"I've met the priest and the postmaster."
The messenger bent down hard to appear humble and respectful.
It's a pity that the other party's belly is really too big.
It's so big that even if the opponent tries his best, he can't bend down.
The other party obviously knew this, and after saluting, he immediately started going straight to the topic.
"I am here on behalf of our lord."
"We, Lord Lords, hope to gain support from Aiya Outpost to jointly resist those monsters."
"Of course, we are willing to stand on the side of Aiya Post for this. No matter what decision Aiya Post makes, we will support it!"
The other party said it loudly, but the hidden words surprised Nelson.
After glancing at Etelina, with the priestess's tacit approval, the guard commander spoke directly.
"All decisions?"
"Including helping Aiya Post build another outer city wall?"
asked the postmaster.
"certainly!"
"With the 'hero' Lord Ryan here, it is only natural to help Aiya Post build an outer city wall."
"However, we hope that other lords can pay more, do you understand?"
The envoy in front of him looked at the outpost commander with a smile.
And Nelson finally understood what the other party was planning.
Harm others and benefit oneself.
No!
To be more precise: lose more to others and save yourself.
Just, just...
After thinking for a moment, the impartial and strict postmaster could not think of a suitable word to describe his state of mind at this moment.
He had long known that the lords on the Yot Plains were in a terrible state, but he did not expect that it would reach this level.
At the same time, he thought again when he became the head of the post, the former head of the post "don't pay attention to those guys, the meaning of the existence of the Aya post is to eliminate the banditry on the way to Navia city".
Sure enough, you don’t need to worry about it?
Thinking of the useless work he had done in the past two years, the post commander couldn't help but smile bitterly.
then?
The entire interview was left to Etelina.
After a few words, the messenger of the Lord of Flowers became sweating profusely.
A qualified negotiator will never see the chips on the other side's table, but also the chips hidden by the other side.
There is no doubt that Etelina is an extremely qualified negotiator.
She more than doubled the amount of chips she could have obtained.
Enough food for two thousand people for a year.
The labor force of not less than a thousand people must be strong and strong.
There are also ten to twenty craftsmen with considerable skills, who cannot be apprentices.
So much so that when the messenger from the flower collar left, his face was gray and his steps were staggering.
"What a bunch of guys who only know how to fight among themselves."
The guard commander sighed.
He couldn't imagine the other party's psychology in agreeing to such harsh conditions. After all, such conditions were completely unprofitable.
You know, the Flowery Territory is not a big territory. Among the dozens of lords in the Yote Plain, it can only be ranked at the bottom.
"Because he firmly believes that he will get more."
"In his mind, I'm afraid he has already begun to plan how to recover his losses exponentially - from the lords who are also in the Yot Plains!"
"I can guarantee that once we have gathered enough people here and the territory of a certain lord is empty, it will be time for them to send troops."
Etelina sneered.
She knew exactly what the other person was thinking.
In fact, in recent decades, such things have been happening on the Yote Plain.
Either the east wind prevails over the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind.
However, this time it was different, she wanted... everything!
It’s the whole plain of Yot!
"You mean?"
The guard commander looked at Etelina belatedly.
Before Etelina could answer, the messenger came again to preach——
"Priest Etelina, Commander of Nelson Post, and the envoy of Lord Matsutake Territory are asking for an audience."
Suddenly, the guard commander looked at Etelina with his mouth open.
The priestess smiled.
She said word for word.
"I said, not only will they agree to our conditions, but they will also rush to agree - because we have more than one collaborator!"
…
The morning sun was rising, and golden sunlight shone outside Aiya Post.
The soldiers on the city wall looked warily in the direction of Navia City, and at the same time looked at the exceptionally rich Yote Plain with a touch of disdain in their eyes.
In the past two days, the ridiculous things about the lords of Yot Plains have spread throughout the outpost.
Not to mention fighting with wooden swords and wooden swords.
Even if you fall and get injured while riding a horse, you can be called a brave man.
In order to better decorate the camp, cowhide was spread on the grass, silk and satin were hung on the branches, and so on.
The soldiers couldn't help curling their lips when they thought that they were still wary of such an enemy.
But soon, this disdain became more solemn when looking in the direction of Navia City.
Although there have been sporadic monster attacks in the past two days, every battle is extremely difficult.
Without the walls of Aia's outpost, I'm afraid they will face attrition after loss.
So when the lookouts saw the black line appearing on the horizon, alarm bells sounded immediately.
Soldiers in full armor climbed the walls.
The knights are even divided into teams, as a fire brigade on the battlefield to support more dangerous situations.
As for fighting outside the city?
The area of the black line at the end of the horizon gave them a more rational choice.
However, as the black line got closer and closer, the watchman standing at the highest place let out a cry of surprise——
"Convoy!"
"It's the convoy of the temple!"
…
The voice echoed over the outpost, and the tense nerves of the people immediately relaxed, and then they all looked into the distance happily.
Is there anything that makes them more happy than the arrival of Navia City?
Naturally, there was Qin Ran who left in this team.
"Open the city gate!"
Estelina couldn't wait to speak, and rode out.
Nelson followed with a team of knights.
The two teams meet in front of Aya's outpost.
The old priest stepped out of the carriage slowly, looked at Etelina and Nelson with a smile.
"High Priest of Pelt."
Although they belong to different temples, the due etiquette is the same.
"I am no longer the high priest."
The old priest waved his hand.
Although such words made people confused, Etelina did not ask further questions. Firstly, it was inappropriate and secondly, she cared more about Ryan.
"Where is Ryan?"
Estelina asked.
"Your Majesty?"
"Over there."
"Look, here he is."
The old priest smiled and pointed to the rear of the convoy. A figure painted in gold came slowly, his face was a little unclear in the sunlight, just like those gods shrouded in spiritual light.
Etelina stared at this figure blankly, her mind constantly echoing the old priest's name to Ryan just now.
Your Majesty?
Your Majesty!
Gradually, the priestess' slightly narrow emerald green eyes opened wide and rounded.
