Kikukawa Yukinari's face was filled with a smile of surprise, and he couldn't help but whisper: "Is this true?" He rubbed his hands excitedly and said excitedly: "Can Mr. Sith really make the Rolands retreat?"

Nidis glanced at Rody, does that mean it's me? Rody nodded calmly.

"Master Kikukawa." Nidis put on a mocking smile on her face: "You also know that the Roland army was attracted by your brother. Their Kikukawa Koichi has reached an agreement, and this will Take the risk and send troops. Kikukawa Koichi must have promised them a lot of benefits, otherwise why would the Roland people come all the way to fight? "

"did you mean… "

Nidis sighed deliberately and continued to induce Kikukawa: "Now that Koichi Kikukawa is dead, even if there is any collusion or agreement with the Roland people, they can't be fulfilled. Do you think the Roland people have spent so much effort to bring the Roland people with them?" The army has come, fought so hard, and killed so many people. Are they willing to go back without getting any benefits? Naturally they are dissatisfied!"

Kikukawa Yukinari breathed a sigh of relief: "So that's it. It's easy to ask for benefits. What do they want? Money? I can double compensation for their losses this time!"

Nidis smiled coldly: "Master Kikukawa is so generous!" Her expression immediately turned cold, she looked at Yukinari Kikukawa sideways, and said calmly: "As for money, we Roland people are not short of it! I don't know. How much can Master Kikukawa give us? One million gold coins?"

Kikukawa Yukinari's forehead became sweaty, and he said with a wry smile: "Miss Nidis, you are joking." After a pause, he looked at Nidis's face. He tried: "So, what do you mean..."

Nidis smiled secretly in her heart, but said: "Originally, our 'dark mercenaries' were the ones who contacted us in this matter. Wherever the Roland army comes from, we can naturally ask them to retreat! Master Yukinari Kikukawa, you We don't value that little money. After all, we have known each other, and you have always respected the three of us. For your sake, Rody and I will go back and let the Roland people retreat. It’s not difficult either!”

"Oh?" Kikukawa Yukinari's eyes lit up, but then he thought that Nidis's tone was not right, and immediately smiled on his face: "Miss Nidis, you make me feel so ashamed when you say this."

"Don't be ashamed!" Nidis said coldly: "We originally negotiated with Kikukawa Koichi on the condition. Now that he is dead, at worst we will be unlucky. After all, Kikukawa Koichi is Kikukawa Koichi, and you are you. Injustice Where there is a leader, there is a debtor! We 'dark mercenaries' are not unreasonable. It's just... Hehe..." At this point, Nidis stopped talking and just sneered, looking at Kikukawa Yukinari coldly.

Kikukawa Yukinari was so scared that she looked at him. He felt uncomfortable all over under Nidis' gaze. Sitting there on his knees, he felt that everything was awkward. Finally he couldn't help but said: "Miss Nidis, you What are you laughing at?”

"Alas..." Nidis smiled faintly: "I'm laughing at you. Master Kikukawa, it doesn't matter if we ask the Roland people to withdraw their troops. But I'm afraid if we withdraw our troops, you will be finished!"

"What?" Kikukawa Yukinari's face changed slightly.

"Don't you understand?" Nidis said coldly: "Master Kikukawa, let me ask you, ask yourself about your abilities and abilities. How is it compared to Oda Nobunaga? If you continue to confront him, you can beat him. "?"

"I can't fight... I can't fight." Kikukawa Yukinari's face turned pale.

"That's it!" Nidis continued to sneer, her eyes piercing Kikukawa Yukinari's face like an awl, until Kikukawa Yukinari couldn't even lift his head - this was Nidis's trick. Generally speaking, there are always loopholes in lying. If you want to be able to frighten others, the first rule is that you must not be timid in terms of momentum!

Sure enough, Nidis' momentum had completely suppressed Kikukawa Yukinari. Nidis snorted coldly and said calmly: "I guess Master Kikukawa, your only hope now is the thirty thousand people on the front line. More troops, right? You hope that with their support, you will be able to defeat Oda Nobunaga?”

"Yes!" Kikukawa Yukinari's eyes lit up: "So now the key is for the Roland people to retreat! If they don't retreat for a day, then..."

"Stupid!!" Nidis's eyes widened, and she suddenly shouted in a low voice. She pointed a slender finger at Kikukawa Yukinari, her fingertips were trembling, she was obviously very angry in her heart, and her face was full of "hate iron" His expression was: "Master Kukawa, how could you have such a stupid idea! Who told you such a stupid idea!"

Seeing Nidis getting angry, Kikukawa Yukinari's reaction immediately softened. It was because Nidis recognized Kikukawa Yukinari's character that she dared to do this. If it had been the old General Kikukawa, he would have shouted angrily and kicked Nidis out. If it had been Kikukawa Koichi, he would have walked away long ago. If it had been Oda Nobunaga, he might have drawn his sword and slashed Nidis by now.

But it happened that Kikukawa Yukinari was in front of him. In response to Nidis's accusation, Kikukawa Yukinari didn't look like a leader at all. Instead, he lowered his head.

Nidis secretly said she was lucky, but she never dared to show any weakness on her face, and said coldly: "Master Kikukawa, you still place your hopes on the troops on the front line... Hum, let me tell you, if you If you keep thinking like this, you will be in trouble soon!"

"What?" Kikukawa Yukinari raised his head in surprise, his eyes full of disbelief.

"Hmph." Nidis sneered: "Let me ask you, have you ever given orders to the front line and asked them to obey your orders?"

"Yes... I gave three orders in total, all in the name of the shogun." Kikukawa Yukinari replied.

Nidis sneered: "Really? Then how did they answer?"

"Lord Wuyou on the front line, well, not Wuyou Senbei! He replied that the war on the frontline is tight now and the military strength on the frontline cannot be mobilized... He also said... "

Nidis interrupted him coldly and said: "He also said that the Kyoto incident was too sudden, and the military's morale is currently unstable, so they dare not act rashly, right? Hum, I think he probably said something else. This matter is of great importance at this time. I hope you and Oda Nobunaga should not fight each other, we should have a good talk and not get into a fight with each other, right?"

"You... you... how did you know!!" Kikukawa Yukinari looked at Nidis with wide eyes.

Although Roddy didn't speak. But he sighed in his heart. This kind of back-and-forth answers are just clichés. Goyu Senbei, who led the resistance at the front line, would definitely answer with such high-sounding words since he wanted to support his troops and respect himself. Just think about it.

"Hahahahahaha..." Nidis laughed so hard that her branches trembled with laughter, but her eyes deliberately looked at Kikukawa Yukinari with a look of pity.

Roddy sighed from the side, this little vampire really has some talent for acting!

Nidis had had enough of laughing. He then said: "Master Kikukawa, think about it carefully! Let me ask you, what was the attitude of Goyu Senbei on the front line towards you in the past?"

"Hmm... It seems... I don't seem to be so respectful." Kikukawa Yukinari had a look of helplessness on his face.

After all, he was just the youngest son of an old general in the past and did not have any real power. Everyone had long regarded Kikukawa Koichi as the next general, and naturally they did not value him as a playboy.

Nidis nodded: "Then let me ask you, with his attitude towards you in the past, will he be willing to be driven by you and become your subordinate?"

"This..." Kikukawa Yukinari immediately lost confidence.

Nidis did not let Kikukawa Yukinari have time to think calmly, and quickly asked: "So, what is the relationship between Goyou Senbei and Oda Nobunaga?"

"It seems... it seems... it seems good." Kikukawa Yukinari's voice became less and less confident. But then he seemed unwilling to give in and retorted: "But Wuyu Senbei has always been very loyal to me and you, he..."

"Huh! Loyal!" Nidis sneered. The expression on his face was even more disdainful: "Are you talking about loyalty? Was Oda Nobunaga superficially loyal to your father in the past? But he followed your brother Kikukawa Koichi and did such a treasonous thing! Okay! Well! Even if Goyou Senbei is loyal to your father, General Kikukawa, are you sure that Goyou Senbei will be loyal to you now

"I... I..." Kikukawa Yukinari opened his mouth and said feebly: "I don't."

Each of Nidis' questions was like a heavy hammer hitting Kikukawa Yukinari's heart, and every blow hit his vitals accurately.

According to common sense, the generals who command troops outside often look down upon such idle playboys. Besides, Kikukawa Yukinari also has a powerful brother. Nidis's series of questions immediately destroyed Kikukawa Yukinari's pitiful self-confidence.

Seeing that the blow was almost done, Nidis immediately softened her tone and said slowly: "I have said so much, don't you understand? Wuyou Senbei is just dealing with you! He doesn't have any I am willing to obey your wishes! And I think you are not the only one who gave him orders! Didn't Oda Nobunaga also declare himself shogun? Come on!"

Kikukawa Yukinari seemed to be restless, with a complicated expression on his face, but he still nodded: "It must be the ground."

"That's right, when these few things are connected, the answer is obvious!" Nidis said solemnly: "Goyo Senbei must have colluded with Oda Nobunaga! He is standing still, just waiting for Oda Nobunaga to Tian Nobunaga took action to kill you first... Then, the dwarf country will belong to the two of them!"

To be fair, there are a lot of loopholes in Nidis's rhetoric. If it were to lie to others, it would have been exposed long ago. However, Kikukawa Yukinari has been suppressed by his brother for many years. He has long lost any self-confidence in his heart, and his character is even more cowardly and fearful, so he is naturally easily fooled.

Sure enough, Kikukawa Yukinari was silent for a moment, and anger gradually surged on his face. He gritted his teeth and said: "This Goyu Senbei. It was in vain that my father used him so highly when he was alive. Now that my father is dead, he actually colluded with Ori. Tian rebel! I...I must kill him!"

"Not bad!" Nidis immediately struck while the iron was hot: "Oda Nobunaga and Kikukawa Koichi conspired to assassinate the old General Kikukawa. Such a crime cannot be forgiven. But Wuyou Senbei does not want to avenge the old general, and now he is standing still and watching. Oda Nobunaga came to deal with you... Such sinister intentions... Huh!"

Kikukawa Yukinari turned pale with anger, suddenly slammed the table in front of him, and shouted: "I must kill him with my own hands! I..." He stood up suddenly.

But then his face turned pale again, and his momentum suddenly weakened. It turned out that he immediately thought that he was now alone. Not to mention Goyu Senbei, he might not be able to defeat even Oda Nobunaga!

If... if... if Oda Nobunaga and Goyou Senbei unite. Sandwiching yourself in the middle... Then I'm afraid I'll be finished at any time...

Thinking of the danger, Kikukawa Yukinari's face lost all color.

Nidis looked at his expression. Guessing Kikukawa Yukinari's thoughts, he coughed deliberately. Kikukawa Yukinari immediately turned his attention to Nidis. Suddenly, his heart moved. He lay on the ground, opened his hands and hugged Nidis' legs. Tears flowed from his eyes, and he cried: "Nidis Miss, Mr. Roddy, you must save me! We met once, and you also said that you would help me become the shogun... Now..." After saying that, all the snot and tears touched Nidis's pants.

Nidis had a disgusted expression on her face, and she quickly struggled to the side, resisting the urge to kick her, and said with a forced smile: "Master Kikukawa, you don't have to panic, the matter is so difficult, but it's not impossible. Way. As long as you listen to our suggestions, it won't be difficult to kill these traitors."

"But... but the army I have now is probably no match for Oda Nobunaga, let alone... plus a Goyou Senbei!"

Nidis smiled slightly. He looked confident: "Master Kikukawa, have you forgotten that you still have tens of thousands of elite troops in the south?"

"The south? The south is Wuyou Senbei's army, there is no one else..."

"I said it. Further south!" Nidis smiled.

"Further south?" Kikukawa Yukinari's eyes lit up: "You mean... the Roland army!"

Nidis said lightly: "The Kingdom of Sauron has sent 50,000 Royal Knights and 200 naval warships this time. With such a powerful force, it must be nothing to help you eliminate Oda Nobunaga and Goyu Senbei." That’s a problem!”

Kikukawa Yukinari looked a little hesitant. After all, he was not a fool, and he was afraid of opening the door to attract a wolf into the house, which might not end well in the end.

Nidis dissatisfied and said: "What's wrong? Kikukawa Yukinari!" She deliberately stopped calling him "Master Kikukawa" and called him by his first name. She even said coldly: "Do you think I will harm you?! Huh!"

Nidis' face looked as ugly as possible. She narrowed her eyes and said coldly: "Have you forgotten that in the Kyoto shogunate that day, if Mr. Roddy hadn't saved your father, your father would have died. Now Kikukawa Kouichi He and Oda Nobunaga are already on stage, I'm afraid you are already a dead person! If we want to harm you, we just need to stand aside and not take action that day! Why don't we wait until today?"

This last sentence was indeed very powerful, and it immediately dispelled Kikukawa Yukinari's doubts. He gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Okay! They are unkind, and I am unjust! Miss Nidis, what do you think I should do? Bar!"

After a pause, Kikukawa Yukinari seemed to suddenly have an idea, and said: "The Knights of the Kingdom of Sauron won't help me in vain, right? Do they have any conditions?"

Nidis smiled slightly and said: "This is nothing! As long as you follow your original promise to me, when you become the shogun and the entire dwarf country is under your rule, give me the exclusive trading rights of ironwood. That’s it! That’s our only condition!”

Kikukawa Yukinari immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't care about Tiemu's exclusive business, it was just money! Is the Dwarf Kingdom short of money now? Since they just want to do the ironwood business, then just do it!

"This is simple! I can sign an agreement with you! In the future, all the ironwood trade in our dwarf country will be handed over to Miss Nidis!" Kikukawa Yukinari agreed simply.

Nidis's eyes immediately shone.

His eyes seemed as if the person standing in front of him was not Kikukawa Yukinari, but a pile of golden coins! A big, big, big pile of gold coins! !

Secretly swallowing a sip of saliva, Nidis continued with a calm face: "Of course, we will also let the Kingdom of Sauron leave an army to station in the Dwarf Kingdom in the future. This army is used to protect you! Master Kikukawa! Think about it, the Dwarf Kingdom has suffered such a big disaster, and even though you have taken the position of shogun, there is no guarantee that there will not be people with ulterior motives like Oda Nobunaga in the Sauron Kingdom! This cavalry regiment is here to protect you, and you can be your shogun without any worries!"

Kikukawa Yukinari had no doubt that he was there, and said with a smile on his face: "Of course that's the best!" He was indeed a little afraid that his seat would be unstable. Thinking that Oda Nobunaga's cavalry was so fierce and defeated his own samurai, I couldn't help but be afraid. With the Knights of the Kingdom of Sauron protecting you, you will be worry-free!

Seeing Kikukawa Yukinari's reaction, Nidis and Roddy looked at each other and said something in their minds at the same time...

Well, it’s just that you can’t win by deceiving such a fool!
