According to past practice, messengers from other kingdoms are usually arranged in the sky hall, but the broken roof has just been cleaned up there, and it is still a long way to go until it is repaired. Thinking of this, Tifeko's hatred for Roland was one more point.
"Take them to my study," he pondered for a moment, and finally decided to entertain him at the palace. Bringing the messenger into the basement is rude no matter what.
As for the other party's intentions, most of them are to seek assistance - either food or cold-resistant materials. There is a saying among nobles that in summer, friends are in contact, and in winter, enemies are in contact. Putting it between kingdoms and kingdoms, the same statement holds true. Tifeke shook his head secretly, he still has a lot of things to do on his side, so he should send the messenger away as soon as possible.
Back in the study, the two members of the envoy had been waiting for a long time in the company of Sir Blint. Seeing His Majesty, the two of them stood up together and bowed to salute, "Respected King of Greycastle, King Wimbledon IV, King Dawn asked us to greet you."
"Say hello to him too," Tifeko nodded casually, "Sit down."
He noticed that the man and the woman were both very young, and their faces were quite similar. The family crest on their chests was a scepter with antlers. If I remember correctly, they should be from the famous Luoxi family in the Kingdom of Dawn.
But what was Misara IV, the King of Dawn, thinking? To actually send a guy who doesn't have all the hair to be a "begging" negotiator? Tifeko was a little surprised. Most of the nobles of this age are arrogant and arrogant, and they are far worse than those old guys who are crying at the negotiating table in order to help the dead.
"You are all members of the Julu family, right?" Tifeke pointed to his chest, "I had a relationship with Duke Luoxi once."
"Indeed, Your Majesty," the young man smiled, "My name is Otto Luo Xi, this is my sister, Belinda Luo Xi."
They were still brothers and sisters, he raised his brows, and since that was the case, he didn't need to accompany them any longer.
"Now is the time when the evil moon is raging. I don't know why the King of Dawn sent you here?" Timothy said first, "If it is urgent for food, cotton or linen, I can only move it out of my palace. You should know that the kingdom is a mess, and many places have been paralyzed. Just helping the refugees has left the capital's food reserves, and it is difficult to draw out more supplies."
"I deeply regret this matter," Alto said, "but Misara IV sent us this time, not to plead for assistance, but to deal with a bigger threat."
His words made Tifeko startled slightly, "What threat?"
"Church, Your Majesty," Belinda continued, "now that the army of the church has invaded Eternal Winter and Wolf Heart, and a large number of fugitives have poured into the territory of Dawn—according to the news they brought, the church's methods were extremely bad and seriously violated the The rules of war between nobles, they hang or exile those who resist, and they can only survive if they fall completely to their nobles."
"This approach is completely intended to eliminate the nobles and bring the territory under the control of the church." Alto's tone was quite heavy, "Misara IV believes that the wolf heart will not be their final goal, Dawn and Graycastle. The current situation is precarious, and in the coming year, the church is likely to launch a new war, leading the war to our land. The King of Dawn hopes that the two countries can unite and fight against the church together."
"Are you sure that Wolf Heart City has been captured?" He couldn't help frowning after hearing the other party's statement.
"It's true, Your Majesty." The two nodded.
Tifeke had heard a little about the church's war of aggression, but he didn't expect that the other party would capture the two kingdoms one after another in such a short period of time. If they hadn't panicked, the strength displayed by the Church would have been a bit too terrifying.
Of course, this kind of thing still has to be confirmed with the Minister of Intelligence. The early arrival of the Demon Moon Snow has hindered the caravan's journey. He has not received any information from the Wolfheart Kingdom for a long time.
After a long silence, Tifeke asked, "What's the specific plan?"
Alto licked his lips, took out a roll of maps from his arms, and spread it out in front of Tifeko, "If the church starts from the Holy City and attacks Dawn or Greycastle, then the other country will lead its army north and attack Hermes. Holy City, in order to contain the church's offensive, so that they can't care for each other."
"An offensive and defensive agreement?"
"Yes, Your Majesty," the messenger replied, "whether starting from Cold Wind Ridge in Greycastle or North County in Dawn, you can reach the Holy City of Hermes within a week. As long as the main force is stationed in In these two towns, the Church may retreat in spite of the difficulties - if this war can be avoided, it will be a blessing for both countries."
In this way, don't even think about buying pills from the church, Tifeko thought to himself, how could Roland Wimbledon be driven out of the West without the pills
But the church is also the one that must be guarded against. It is best to reach an agreement with the Kingdom of Dawn after purchasing enough pills and unifying the entire territory of Greycastle.
"This matter is of great importance. I still need to discuss with the ministers before making a decision. You can stay in the palace temporarily and wait for news."
"Of course, Your Majesty."
"In addition, I also want to ask, how much do you know about the situation of Yongdong and Wolfheart Kingdom? Are all the news from the refugees?"
"There are also some reports from spies, but not many... The church also blocked the roads around the town while besieging Broken Tooth Castle and Wolf Heart City. We don't know much about the battle process." Alto replied, "Listen to the refugees. Said that the church used a terrible siege weapon, and in just one day, it destroyed the walls of Wolfheart City."
Most of them are snow powder weapons, and I am afraid that it was leaked from the third sister. "I'm not asking this," Tifeko waved his hand, "Have you heard the news about the Black Sail Fleet and Garcia Wimbledon?"
"This..." The two looked at each other before Belinda said cautiously, "I heard that she and the wolf king died from the church's arrows when they escaped from the royal city."
"Garcia and the Wolf King are together?" His heart skipped a beat, "Have you seen a corpse?"
"No, no, but judging from the church's hype and the silence from Wolfheart afterwards, the chances of them escaping are really low."
"Really..." Tifeko sighed, although it was a little regretful, but this was one of the few good news since the beginning of winter, I hope they were right, "Okay, you go down first."
Alto hesitated for a while, "Uh... There's another small matter, the person you said helped some food and cloth, can you... "
Sure enough, it was all trouble to contact him in the winter. He shrugged, and he thought it was a reward for Garcia's death information. "I will arrange for people to implement it."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The two bowed happily.
Watching the messenger leave, Tifeko couldn't help raising the corners of his mouth. Roland Wimbledon, did you hear that? That's what happens to the insurgents, and so will you in the end.
