Chapter 1693 Compensation

Simmons Locke was angry.

His hard-lined, slightly handsome face, at this moment, had drooped to the point where it could almost rival that of a donkey.

Those angry eyes stared coldly at the tip of the sword pointed at the door in front of me, then looked along the tip of the sword at the sword holder, and finally looked at the dumbfounded head of the Bai family standing aside.

The sharp gaze was like bone-piercing ice, which shocked the head of the Bai family. He first avoided the gaze in a panic. After realizing that he could not avoid it, he immediately calmed down and lowered his head, like an obedient slave.

As for the rest of the Bai family, they were already trembling uncontrollably.

I sat quietly on the sofa and looked at Simmons Locke's eyes carefully. Only then did I suddenly realize that my majesty was still far behind compared with Simmons Locke's majesty.

My anger can only scare away the weak, but will anger the powerful, but Simmons Locke's anger can shock the entire audience.

Is this the majesty of the Simmons family that has been nurtured for thousands of years?

If this is the case, how terrifying will the Fairy Queen's majesty be?

I really don’t dare to think about this, and I can’t even think about it.

Simmons Locke did not speak, but suddenly snorted, which frightened the head of the Bai family into bowing and apologizing repeatedly. He sternly shouted at the law enforcement team to retreat, and then continued to wait aside and obey the orders.

Locke ignored him and didn't want to ignore him anymore. Obviously, the move of the head of the Bai family was a big violation of the king's will.

He sat down on the sofa opposite and couldn't help but glance at Phoenix, but was ignored by Phoenix again. Feeling embarrassed, he coughed lightly and said, "Can we talk about it now?"

"What to talk about?" I asked.

"Withdraw troops," Locke said, "I hope you can order the army to withdraw from the outer city."

"It's easy to withdraw our troops," I said, "it's just a matter of words, but would it hurt the morale of the troops to withdraw without any gain?"

"Nothing gained?" Simmons Locke almost laughed angrily: "Your coalition forces are basically a group of robbers. Everywhere they went, no matter whether they were mansions or wealthy houses, they were looted. How dare you say that you gained nothing? ?”

"It's different." I shook my head and said, "What you are talking about is called spoils of war. What I am talking about is compensation. After fighting a victorious battle and capturing a city, I had to abandon the city again before I even sat down in Rehu. What's more, It's not because of defeat, but because of my order to withdraw troops. Do you think this will chill the hearts of the soldiers?"

Simmons Locke was speechless. He clenched his fists tightly and resisted the urge to punch me.

After a long while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, it's up to you. Tell me, what compensation do you need and how much compensation do you need?"

Seeing his eyes full of anger, but forcing himself to look like he was being slaughtered, I just wanted to laugh.

If you really feel so wronged, don't treat foreigners as slaves from the beginning. How can you be a bitch and still want to build a memorial arch? How can it happen so often!

Regardless of Simmons Locke's expression, I took out the call crystal again and contacted Cagalli.

As soon as the connection was connected, Cagalli said in an anxious tone: "Xiaoyi, I heard from the old Duke, how is your situation now?"

"It's okay for now," I said, "How is the situation over there?"

"I just broke open the basement door of a noble mansion. What do you think I saw?" Cagalli couldn't help but said, "Gold, jewelry, enchanted stones, and enchanted equipment, all in the basement!"

"Cough" I coughed quickly, trying to suppress her ecstatic voice, but with little success.

Glancing at Locke, who looked increasingly gloomy, I quickly said, "Um, is the old Duke near you?"

"Well, he is holding an enchanted cloak and looking at it over and over. He seems to like it very much."

"Tell the old man to talk to me."

Soon, the old Duke's voice came from the crystal: "You actually have time to call me. It seems that your kid is fine."

"Thank you," I said, "but I have something to discuss with you."

"What's going on?"

"Retreat," I said, "I want to ask you to retreat."

"Retreat troops, easy to talk about"

"Ahem" I cleared my throat again.

The old Duke understood it instantly and said: "Well, well, retreating is easy to say, but it's not good to just return empty-handed like this. After all, the army has traveled thousands of miles to get here, and has endured hardships and tiredness. But if you don’t get any benefits, you will lose your military morale.”

"Well, I thought so too, so I made some suggestions to the great Lord of York and Hancheng. He also thought this was true, so he agreed to negotiate with you about the compensation issue. Otherwise, you can talk to him Let’s talk?”

"Since Xiaoyi is the middleman, the old man should reluctantly talk to him."

With that said, I handed the call crystal to Locke and said, "Your Majesty, the old Duke wants to discuss relevant matters with you personally."

Simmons Locke's face was as gloomy as ink. He tremblingly took the call crystal from my hand, suppressing the anger that was about to burst out, and started talking to the old Duke.

No matter how angry he was, when facing the old Duke, his tone still showed considerable respect.

After all, this is a legendary marshal who fought with his father and grandfather.

The two negotiated for half an hour in total, and Simmons Locke just handed the communication crystal back to me.

The old Duke said: "Okay, it's settled."

"As long as it's settled," I smiled.

"Well, you can pack up your things and come back later." The old Duke said, "It's not a problem to stay there all the time. If a few more waves of blind nobles come, I'm afraid the Simmons family's fortune will be wiped out. It wouldn’t be fun if you lose everything.”

"Okay," I said, "Stay a little longer and I'll go back."

After that, he hung up the call.

Simmons Locke didn't speak to me, but called to his entourage to help him keep a list.

This list contains a lot of content, including some valuable mineral deposits, and the last column contains a huge amount of funds.

After finishing his dictation, he glanced at me fiercely, then turned to the head of the Bai family, and said, "You are the one who caused these troubles. Let your family take care of them."

The head of the Bai family took the list with a pale face. He didn't even dare to look at it. He bowed and ran away in despair.

"Are you satisfied?" Simmons Locke said solemnly.

I nodded with a smile and said: "Your Majesty took action, it was really generous. I am very impressed."

Locke snorted heavily and said: "Since you are satisfied, please leave my country as soon as possible. You are not welcome here."

"Don't say that." I spread my hands and said, "As I said, mountains and rivers will not change, but if we are destined, we will still come thousands of miles to meet each other."

Locke's eyelids twitched and he almost fell to the ground. He exhaled heavily, stood up, and left.
