Chapter 30 Alliance
Harris brought a lot of sincerity, but it also reflected the pressure faced by the Golden City.
"Is that all?" O'Quinn asked in a deep voice.
"Uh... Golden City has only prepared these for the time being." Harris choked, and said with a slightly nervous look: "If you are not satisfied, I can discuss it with my lord again when I return to Golden City!"
After a moment of silence, O'Quinn slowly spoke.
"The conditions given by the Golden City have made me see the sincerity of Rovlai. But going to war with Iron Horn City is no small matter. Kaiyuan City needs more reasons to participate in this war!"
"I understand what you mean." Harris nodded slightly and said, "I will convey your meaning to Lord Rovlai, hoping that Gold and Kaiyuan can become allies who help each other!"
"Then, goodbye."
After that, Harris bowed and left the study.
"Next, wait for Rovlai's reply." After Harris left, Wildfire Knight Clarence also left the room. O'Quinn looked at Tyron and Enzo and said in a deep voice.
"No matter what conditions the Golden City offers, Kaiyuan City will declare war on the Iron Scythe, so our problem now is how this war should start."
O'Quinn's eyes flickered, and his fingers tapped the armrest of the chair.
"According to the intelligence collected by the mouse, the Iron Scythe has mobilized a total of 5,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry to fight the Golden City this time, and the Lord of the Iron Horn City, Andrew, will lead the army personally."
Tyron spread out a piece of parchment and said in a deep voice.
"The total force of Kaiyuan City is about 10,000 people at present. Apart from the 3,000 city guards who must stay in the city, there are only 7,000 people who can be freely mobilized."
"If these 7,000 people are led by Brother O'Quinn himself and all deployed to the battlefield of Golden City, I am afraid that Andrew will mobilize the troops from Giant Wolf City to support them immediately!"
"So, how about this!"
"The 7,000 troops in Kaiyuan City are divided into two groups, of which 5,000 people are led by Brother O'Quinn to support Golden City, and the remaining 2,000 people are led by me to form a cavalry regiment and attack the towns of Wolf Claw and Wolf Heart around Giant Wolf City to contain Giant Wolf City." Tyron swiped his fingers on the parchment map and quickly formulated a battle plan.
"Very good, that's it!" O'Quinn clapped his hands and made a decision.
"After the Golden City replies, we will gather the army and split into two groups to march towards the Golden City and Giant Wolf City. As for the guarding inside Kaiyuan City, it will be left to you, Enzo."
"Father, let Uncle Tyron stay in Kaiyuan."
Enzo thought for a moment and spoke after a while.
"The witchcraft I master is inclined to surprise attacks and assassinations. If it is used to defend Kaiyuan City, it will not be of the greatest effect. Why don't I lead the 2,000 cavalry to contain Giant Wolf City!"
"Is that so? Well, I will let Clarence assist you at that time." O'Quinn was silent for a while, then raised his head and said: "You should also pay attention to your own safety. If you encounter danger, retreat in time."
"I will, father."
The three of them agreed on the battle plan in a short while. In the following time, O'Quinn and Tyron briefly discussed the problems that might be encountered in the war.
In the evening, the Golden City's carriage came to Kaiyuan again.
Harris jumped off the carriage with the help of his servants, then personally lifted the curtain and welcomed a girl in a purple velvet coat.
"Let me introduce you, this is my lord Lofley's only daughter, Miss Loris." Harris helped the girl off the carriage and introduced her to Enzo with a smile.
"Hello, Miss Loris." Enzo looked at the girl in front of him with a slightly puzzled look and greeted her lightly.
The graceful girl smiled, her childish face was slightly charming, and her long, smooth golden hair was scattered on her shoulders, revealing a delicate temperament.
"Hello, Master Enzo of Kaiyuan City."
Loris pinched the corner of her clothes and bowed gently, her bright eyes moved around Enzo, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her lips.
"Please follow me, both of you." Enzo waved his hand and welcomed the two into the castle and came to the hall.
"Harris greets you, the honorable Lord of Kaiyuan City, Lord O'Quinn!"
In the spacious hall, Harris saw O'Quinn sitting on the iron chair. After bowing, he took out a piece of parchment from his arms and presented it with both hands respectfully.
"By the order of my Lord Lovley, Harris brings new alliance conditions. Please take a look, Lord O'Quinn."
The servant took the parchment and handed it to O'Quinn on the iron chair.
Scanning the parchment with the alliance conditions written on it, O'Quinn seemed a little surprised, but he couldn't help but nod slightly, as if he was quite satisfied with the conditions offered by the Golden City.
After a while, O'Quinn put down the parchment and looked at Harris.
"I am very satisfied with the conditions given by Rovlai. Kaiyuan City has accepted the alliance request from the Golden City!"
"Within three days, I will gather the army and personally lead the army to the battlefield to fight together with the Golden City to defeat the Iron Scythe Family."
"Thank you very much! The Golden City will never forget your help." Seeing that O'Quinn agreed to the alliance, Harris breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile on his face.
O'Quinn nodded, and then ordered the butler to prepare the room.
"Harris, you rest in Kaiyuan City for one night. I will send someone to take you back to the Golden City tomorrow."
After that, the butler took Harris down to rest, and only O'Quinn and Enzo were left in the hall.
"Let's take a look at the conditions given by Rovlai."
O'Quinn raised his lips and handed the parchment to Enzo with a chuckle.
Taking the parchment, Enzo looked at it and nodded slightly after reading the first few items. The Golden City added two small towns and a mineral vein as conditions for the alliance on the original basis, which was enough to prove Rovley's sincerity.
"It's worthy of being a city established by merchants. It's really rich!" Enzo sighed in his heart and continued to look down. When he saw the last contract on the parchment, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.
"...In this alliance, the Lord of the Golden City, Rovlai, is willing to marry his only daughter, Loris, to Kaiyuan City. I hope that the two cities of Golden City and Kaiyuan City can help each other and maintain a long-lasting friendship..."
"What does this mean?" Enzo raised the parchment in his hand and raised his eyebrows, "Rovlai plans to marry Kaiyuan City?"
"I'm afraid that's what it means." O'Quinn sneered, with a hint of disdain in his eyes, and said, "In order to maintain his position, Rovlai really can give everything. This time, he said that he would marry his only daughter to Kaiyuan City, but in fact it was just a small gift."
"This girl looks good, and the blood of the Golden Family is also clean. Now you are about the same age. If there is a chance, continue the family bloodline in her..." O'Quinn said casually, as if Loris was an object.
"Heh..." Enzo didn't say anything, and touched his nose awkwardly. In this society where force is supreme, the status of women is indeed like an object.
"Okay, go down and rest."
"The war with the Iron Scythe Family will begin in the next few days, and you will be needed to contain the Giant Wolf City at that time." O'Quinn stood up and patted Enzo on the shoulder.
