Scene 347 Under the Abyss VI

Favorite 【】, to provide you with wonderful novels to read. ()

The demon's invasion quickly became the most serious situation at the moment, and everyone knew the weight of this news.

Wood hoped that the princess would release the captives of the Temple of Fire first, and let the Cornolia fleet recover at least a certain amount of combat power to deal with the next war with the devil. But Brando didn't immediately respond to this request. Time was running out, but it didn't mean he needed to give up his previous achievements.

After a short break in the war, both sides need to rest. It is impossible for the devil to appear in front of them immediately. These creatures from under the Sulfur River will be hindered in their actions under the heavy rain. Before that, even if it is the worst estimate, he will have more than ten hours to negotiate with the Cruz people .

Brando's request was very simple, and it was a bit like a lion's mouth.

The northern allied forces should return all the captives belonging to the princess, which naturally included the little prince.

Later, the Temple of Fire had to bear all the losses caused by this war, because Brando believed that the northern nobles started the war at their instigation-he didn't care whether the truth was true or not.

This includes compensation and trade compensation agreements.

Of course, the compensation was done in private, in order to take into account the face of the Cruz people. Brando can still meet this small requirement, after all, he only pays attention to practical benefits.

The trade compensation agreement is the compensation method proposed by Brando. On the surface, it is a trade preference offered by the Cruz Empire to the Eruin Empire. But in fact there are many detailed conditions, including two important technology transactions.

The blueprint of the magic transmission device and the manufacturing technology of the Empire's "Dreadnought" first-class battleship.

This is simply blackmail.

Seeing these two conditions, the expression on Wood's face was as dark as the dark clouds off the sea of ​​Ampersell, and he walked away without saying a word.

Then an envoy was sent to negotiate with Brando.

The envoy simply declared that if Brando did not cooperate, the Temple would give up Aruin, and the Cruz would lose face at best. But waiting for Eruin's best outcome would be a serious injury, and the worst outcome would undoubtedly be the destruction of the country.

If these words were placed in front of other Eruin nobles, it would undoubtedly be a huge bomb, and even Her Royal Highness would be shaken by it. But after hearing this, Brando just smiled, and asked Mordefs to throw the guy out of the camp.

joke.

He is well aware of the weakness of the temple, and the Cruz people probably don't just want to save face. More importantly, the secret of the Flame Gate must not fall into the hands of Wan Wu Gui Yi Hui. He knew that there were several eternal doors of fire in the Cruz Empire. Once the secrets of the doors of fire were leaked, the empire would become another gate for the river of sulfur to the surface world from now on.

Having mastered this secret, Brando will naturally not compromise easily. However, he also felt uneasy. If Wood's old fox really dared to stand still, Brando might really take the initiative to compromise with the other party in the end.

Because only he, Antitina, and Freya know that Roman is still in the port of Ambersea.

And once the Cruz people take the initiative, I'm afraid that Eruin will let them peel off a layer of skin. Brando gritted his teeth and persisted for an hour and a half, and finally Wood couldn't help but came to the door first. After all, the chief priest didn't have any news that would reassure him.

When Wood came, Brando was completely relieved.

Cruz relented.

In just half an hour, Brando signed an interim peace agreement with Wood, taking advantage of Cruz's softening momentum. Brando was relentless. In addition to the superficial agreement, the two sides temporarily signed a secret agreement.

The Temple of Fire has privately acknowledged the right of the Corkova royal family to pursue the crimes of usurpation by several main leaders of the northern nobles in the future. This includes the disposal rights of the Grand Duke Sifah, the Marquis of Balta, the Count of Vitokine, and the Marquis of Youxi.

However, this second provision has not been brought to light. First of all, now is not the time to shake the confidence of the nobles in the north. Secondly, the high priest has already discovered that Grand Duke Sifah, Marquis of Balta, Count of Vitokin and Marquis of Youxi are missing. Presumably His Royal Highness Prince Haruze may also fall into the hands of all things. .

Therefore, even if the temple party wants to fulfill this provision, it does not have the ability for the time being.

And after meeting all the requirements. Brando naturally also agreed in principle to return all the prisoners of the Temple of Fire in his hands-including the seven Templars, the White Wing Knight and other prisoners of the Cornolia fleet.

After all, these people will also play their role in the war next, and they can be regarded as coolies in Brando's hands. Although the Cruz people may not necessarily think so.

At the same time, in exchange for a second, more important agreement. Brando also backed down on the original technology transfer agreement. The latest magic transmission device was changed to blueprints that were not more than ten years behind, and the battleship manufacturing technology was also changed to frigate manufacturing technology.

But even so, Brando still left a trap. Because his original target knight was the design drawing of the new frigate of the Cruz Empire. The Cruz battleship pursued firepower and armor, and it was cumbersome and unpleasant. He prefers the new type of battleship of the Wind Elf, but the new frigate of the Cruz is a design stolen from their old enemy, the Hazel, but it is extremely clever. After all, the Hazel is the world of Warnd One of the best magic masters.

It's a pity that although Wood is a highly respected chief priest. The most talented executives of the Temple of Fire are not technocrats, and most of the nobles accompanying the Temple of Fire are unlikely to bring along master craftsman level figures. So when everyone didn't know the trap inside, Brando naturally pitted them cleanly.

In the end, the two sides exchanged prisoners and initially reached a settlement. Brando didn't intend to combine the two armies that had killed the red-eyed a few hours ago to fight against the demon. This is undoubtedly the Arabian Nights. Therefore, he simply let the Northern Allied Forces stay in the Bunoan area, while the army under the princess and Lantonilan's army were directly stationed in the Mar Heights.

This proposal was also approved by everyone. Anyway, the northern nobles may not be willing to stand in the same trench as Her Royal Highness.

Then Brando blocked the news of the demon's invasion, and did not let any rumors spread among the ordinary soldiers, only telling them that there might be an alien army from Jorgendigan invading Ampersel. Although it is frustrating to rejoin the battle after finally winning a big battle and not having time to celebrate. But it's better than creating a large number of deserters immediately.

He had seen similar scenes before, and they were everywhere in the second and third Black Rose Wars. Both Odin and the nobles of the royal party agree with this, they know the virtues of their subordinates.

Although Wang Dang parted ways with Her Highness the Princess earlier, the Princess has said that she does not blame the past, and the two sides temporarily returned to the same chariot. Due to the existence of Brando and Eco, Princess Griffin's status has improved a lot.

But soldiers' morale remains a problem. Brando threw this issue to the Cruz people, and asked Wood to persuade the nobles of the Northern Alliance Army to mobilize supplies from near Bunoan, and at least let Lantoniland and Earl Odin's army celebrate a victory.

"As long as there is hot broth, even in this ghostly weather, ordinary soldiers can still be satisfied." Before evening, Brando had begun to send scouts to the periphery to obtain information near the port, and Did the port fall into the hands of demons? and the number of demons.

However, considering that the residents of the surface world knew little about the situation in the underground world, Brando decided to go there in person to find out near Ampersel. His risky move was naturally strongly opposed by Antitina, and even Princess Griffin didn't approve of it, but he decided to go ahead despite all the arguments.

It's just that she didn't expect that Her Royal Highness could not stop him from taking risks, and insisted on being with him. She ordered Overwell to stay and appease the soldiers, then put on her knightly uniform and mount her horse. Joining his ranks, Earl Odin walked with her.

Brando was naturally powerless to stop what Her Royal Highness wanted to do. Fortunately, he had no intention of fighting the devil. Just scouting the situation on the front line, it's up to her.

Naturally, Brando would not pretend to be affectionate and think that Her Royal Highness is particularly concerned about him, and there may be reasons for this, but a few times he saw the half-elf girl with bright silver eyes reflecting the rain, and thought to himself that she must be dissatisfied own womanhood.

Indeed, she is actually far more suitable for the throne than her brother.

"I just don't know if those cavemen will give us a night's rest." Earl Odin replied with some anxiety.

Brando can understand Odin's uneasiness. Events such as demon invasion can be large or small, and they happen on the surface world every moment. For example, an evil warlock summoned a demon and made a pact with it, or occasionally a beast from the river of sulfur escaped to the surface. These events are of little importance.

But once a situation like the present happens, and the devil has mastered one or more large portals, it will be a big deal. Because the demons themselves also mastered the technology of making portals, if the local lords didn't react and quickly extinguish and destroy the teleportation array, the army of creatures in the bottom world would grow rapidly like a snowball.

There have been several incidents of national destruction in history. The earliest example is in the Year of the Golden Hoof. Later, it happened again in the Year of Glory, and that unlucky Principality was very close to Aruin, near the Principality of Antuburuo.

"I'm afraid not." Brando replied. Demons are not like Eruin's flying dragon cavalry, they can march well at night, but the heavy rain will also hinder their actions.

The hillside in the black pine forest became slippery and difficult to walk under the heavy rain. The sky and the earth become a vast line at the end of the extreme. Fortunately, Brando is very familiar with the terrain in this area. The group circled a few low hills, and then a majestic peak appeared in their field of vision.

This is Brando's goal.

Under the protection of the knights, he and the princess and Earl Odin braved the rain to climb the highest mountain closest to Amperesel, and then looked down from the top of the mountain. The direction of the port was dark, which was the worst omen. one. He looked up to see some dark clouds coming from the north, and the next thing he realized they were all harpies - they were close relatives of the sirens, but were driven out in the 'Kelano' war and hid in the underworld middle.

Brando put down the telescope in his hand, couldn't help taking a breath of air-conditioning, he turned his head, and the princess's face was pale. Sure enough, as Wood had expected, there was already an army from Jorgendigan in the port of Ampersel.

The three of them were silent for a while.

"Those don't seem to be demons?" Her Royal Highness asked.

Brando nodded, and he glanced at the other two, but found that they didn't seem to realize that there was any problem. It was not a good omen that the demons were mingling with Jorgendigon's army.

The inhabitants of the underground world are not only cavemen, but most surface dwellers are collectively referred to as cavemen. Few of them can distinguish the relationship between the devil and other forces in Qiao Gendigang, so it is understandable to show such an attitude.

But Brando knew that Qiao Gendigang was actually a collective term. The bottom is criss-crossed, connecting many areas, such as the field of mushrooms and the abyss of eternal darkness, and the sulfur river where the demons live is actually the lowest layer of the earth's inner world, which is isolated by the elemental boundary of Warnd. They were first discovered by the Dark Elves, who built a city on the lava plain, Scorched Spire. Due to the influence of dark magic power, the high-level nobles of the city quickly became corrupt and corrupted, breaking the seal of the elemental border, demons broke out of the box, and the dark elf empire died as a result.

Afterwards, the dark elves retreated into the Abyss of Eternal Darkness, and the demons quickly occupied a piece of land and became one of the aborigines of the underground world. However, the underground residents are hostile to each other and are in conflict. The Georgian Empire controlled by the black dragon is absolutely impossible to succumb to the devil. How did the two races mix together?

Brando remembered that the first time in history that Jorgendigan invaded the surface world was pushed back to the beginning of the Second Epoch, after the Second Black Rose War. That's the third chapter of the game, "Eternal Darkness".

Could it be that some unknown changes have taken place in the world below? No, Brando doesn't think that the history he changed has affected Qiao Gendigang so quickly, and a sword of the earth is already a coincidence among coincidences.

However, practical problems still need to be solved urgently.

"Mr. Brando, what should we do now?" Princess Griffin asked. There were so many harpies in the sky like a dark cloud. Gather an army of this size. And the number of demons on the ground can be imagined, and this is probably a force that Lantoniland's army and the Northern Alliance Army combined cannot resist.

Brando also watched this scene, and was silent for a moment.

"I have nothing to do."

"Mr. Brando, you can't help...?" Princess Griffin was almost speechless.

Brando nodded, and the move of returning everything to one was indeed far beyond his expectations. The current army of demons is almost larger than the combined forces of the Temple of Fire and the Northern Alliance, and he has no ability to start the cycle of adversity in a short time.

To summon the Sanctuary of Life, the Trojan Horse of Adversity, and all the pre-cycles, he has to accumulate elements for a long time. Don't think about it again for at least a week.

He pursed his lips tightly, and for a moment his mind was full of complicated thoughts about the current situation.
