For some reason, he felt that there was a warmth of maternal love here, perhaps because this place was founded by Xiaoyanzi, and she was too similar to his real mother.
"I will always remember you, Little Swallow..." At this moment, the Baron hoped to stay here a little longer and recall the good times he had spent with Little Swallow.
As the Baron paced back and forth, carefully observing and inspecting the Yanluo Casino, the guard standing guard at the town gate hurried over to him and reported:
"Report, my noble master, the war in the kingdom has come to an end."
"Are you talking about the war between King Harlaus X's massive army and the villages of Dakeburg and Shiko on the border of the Kugit Khanate?" asked De Lassel.
"Yes, you guessed it right. We won! We successfully occupied Dakeburg and Xike Village! After that, negotiations began between the kingdoms, and we signed a truce and peace treaty with the Khergit Khanate."
"Well, this is good news. However, after losing territory and being defeated in the war, the Khergit Khanate is still willing to sign a truce and peace treaty. This is really a serious blow to their vitality. They will not be able to make a comeback for a while."
"Yes! I am also happy for our victory. Long live the Kingdom of Swadia! By the way, my honorable master, I think the king's subsequent instructions to you have already been delivered to the Lord's Hall. Would you like to go back and take a look?"
Hearing this, De La Serre decided not to stay in Yanluo Casino any longer. He could keep his thoughts in his heart and miss her every moment. He rode back to the Lord's Hall...
In the lord's hall, the big merchant Manid has received the king's order and is awaiting the baron's return.
He saw the baron in the distance riding his horse at full speed towards here, and he must have known the outcome of the battle.
"My dear master, the king's order has arrived. Please take a look at it with your own eyes."
"No need, just report to me and tell me your opinions and suggestions."
"Okay, now the situation is like this: after King Harlaus X's troops captured Dakeburg and Shiko Village, they suffered heavy casualties and consumed a lot of food. He originally planned to rest and recuperate before continuing to advance into the enemy's territory to expand his victory. However, the Khergit Khanate
Sent someone to negotiate with us.”
De La Ser interrupted and asked, "Is the person who came to negotiate the matter the Valkyrie Tian Yan?"
"Yes, the Valkyrie Tianyan signed a truce and peace treaty with us in the name of the King of the Khergit Khanate, Sega Khan. The truce will last for two months. At the same time, they will release all the captured Swadian soldiers. As for the Khergit soldiers and Lord Nayan we captured, they promised to redeem them with money."
"It sounds very advantageous to us, but why did they do this? The two armies just engaged in a large-scale battle. They are the defenders of the castle. The defenders should have lost fewer troops than us. You just said that we suffered heavy casualties. Isn't their best choice to launch a counterattack?"
"I thought so at first, but later our caravan went to the Khergit Khanate to do business. I heard from them that the Khergit Khanate was facing internal and external troubles. It seemed that there were many rebels recently. In short, their internal situation is very bad now."
De La Ser thought for a moment and said, "That makes sense. They had no choice but to sign an unequal treaty with us, and then they gave priority to dealing with their internal conflicts. It seems that the goddess of luck is on our side this time. Go on, does King Harlaus X have any new arrangements for us going forward?"
"Baron, the king has not assigned us any new tasks for the time being. He just wants us to continue to defend and develop Uxhall and its three subordinate villages. However, no new lords have been appointed for the newly captured Dackburg and Xico Village. You have the right to vote, and the king is waiting for your reply."
"Voting rights? You mean electing a count to be the lord of Duckburg and Xico Village?"
The big businessman Manide nodded respectfully and replied, "Yes, that's what I mean."
"Then please help me write a report to King Harlaus X, saying that Earl Harlan played an indispensable role in the success of this war, and I voted for him as the new lord of Dackburg and Xico Village. At the same time, you should also write a letter to tell Earl Harlan that I voted for him. We can't do good things without leaving a name. We will need him to help us in the future!"
Comment: That's right, we can't be Lei Feng! TMD I still remember last time, this ha
Count Lun has run away on his own. I don’t believe that he will have the nerve to not give us anything the next time he sees us.
This time, De Lassel thought the same thing as the system. After all, Count Harlan was an honest man. He would not fail to do this little favor and show some courtesy.
"Haha, Baron, I thought exactly the same as you! I have already prepared the two things you just mentioned."
As the big businessman Manid spoke, he took out the two documents from his pocket and prepared to present them to De Lassel for reading.
De La Serre smiled and shook his head, waved his hand, and said slowly: "I won't read it. If you write, every word must be in line with my wishes. I trust you very much. Just arrange it!"
Your friendship with the merchant Manid has increased by 5, and the current friendship is 60.
Comment: You are getting better at winning people's hearts, which is great~
After properly handling the matter, De Lassel was just about to go to the back garden of the lord's hall to enjoy the scenery and have a rest, but unexpectedly Xiao Nan came to report the situation.
"My noble master, we are back. I just learned that you went to fight the King of Land Lions a few days ago. He is a very strong opponent! Are you not injured? I heard from everyone that it took you 3-5 days to recover."
When De La Serre heard this, he thought of Chu Chu again, and his eyes dimmed. He didn't want to mention it again, so he said:
"Thank you for your concern, Xiaonan. I'm fine now. Tell me about the training. How is it going? Have those Swadian soldiers made any progress?"
Xiao Nan looked ashamed and replied awkwardly: "I'm sorry, Baron, I disappoint you. They haven't made any progress. They are not like us tavern mercenaries. We can accumulate experience even when we don't have to fight. Maybe these Swadian soldiers can only make progress on the battlefield."
"Oh, I see. It's okay. I can't blame you. I just wanted to give it a try, so I asked you and Xiao Ming to go. Okay, go down and have a rest first. Remember to arrange for people to take turns to defend Uxhall. Although we have signed a truce and peace treaty with the Kugit Khanate, we can't guarantee that no one will come to harass us."
