Faced with Hossman's elegant and confident smile, Green realized that the great nobleman in front of him, known for his long-term vision and keen sense of smell, hadn't really lost his head. The frequent gatherings of nobles are not as simple as "business dealings". In the transactions related to alchemy potions and magic technology, a group headed by the Hussman family that is vigilant against Cecil's forces has already formed.
This group has the same pursuit of interests, and also has the same security goals. Ironically, the huge interests that brought this group together were created by the Cecil Land and they are on guard, and it is also the Cecil Land.
The newly born Cecil Territory is a land flowing with gold and silver. This is the consensus that everyone gradually formed in the last period of last winter. At the beginning, the nobles in the southern border hadn’t realized the value of the wandering alchemy potion merchants and the gradually spreading magic net and mining machinery system. After the intelligence, the noble lords realized how huge the scale of this business has become. As long as people with a little brains do a little calculation, they will be stunned by the astonishing wealth, and then realize that they are The little gold coins that were obtained in this process were nothing compared to the wealth obtained by the entire Cecil family.
Such a huge amount of gold and silver is being piled up in the treasury of the Cecil family, which did not gather wealth through war, but grabbed more than war.
However, it is unwise to confront the surname of Cecil rashly. No matter what the family has been like in the past century, it is an out-and-out fact that they have regained their honor, so even the king himself must be respectful. Respecting the current Cecil family properly, but if we can find a reasonable reason, a reason that can unite most of the nobles in the southern border, and can also be justified in front of the royal family... It seems that the problem is not so complicated.
"It is said that Duke Cecil has gathered an army of thousands of people. This at least shows one thing. Even if his behavior is a little crazy, his reason still exists. He knows that he must have enough force to protect him. Wealth," Earl Hossman said unhurriedly, "most of this team is recruits, but the number is still considerable, and it is said that the Cecil Territory has resisted two attacks from monsters from the wasteland of Gondor, Although I think this should all be the personal strength of the legendary Grand Duke, it also shows that Cecil's army has seen blood, so we need to unite a group of people to ensure safety."
"You also mentioned the personal strength of Grand Duke Cecil...an ancient legend, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with?"
"Yes, of course it's difficult to deal with," Earl Hossman finally smiled at this point, "so we have to find an additional way to restrain the Duke himself, at least so that he has no time to look after him for a short time."
Green looked at his master. Even as the intelligence leader in the territory, he could not always see through the Earl's thoughts, but he knew that Earl Hossman might have secretly arranged many other things: "You Is there a way?"
"Duke Gawain? Duke Cecil is not just destroying Ansu's aristocratic dignity, he has offended many people," Earl Hossman said with a smile on his face. "Have you heard that Cecil led the What about sheltering believers of alien gods?"
"...Of course," Green nodded, "I got the information immediately. The Cecil Territory publicly announced that it would accept exiles who were exiled by the Church of the Holy Light and judged as heretics."
Earl Hossman nodded slightly: "The Church of the Holy Light has coveted the land in the southern border for a long time..."
"... You want to let those missionaries join in?" Green immediately frowned, "With all due respect, once those priests come in, it's not that easy to get them to leave..."
"I will not hand over a large amount of wealth," Earl Hossman shook his head, "but the power of the Church of the Holy Light can still be borrowed. Since they want to fight for their lord, let them be the lord." And the fight is over."
…
In the east of Ansu, standing in front of the "Contract Fort" in the border buffer zone, Duke Silas Loren rode on the horse that had followed him for many years, and took a deep breath against the cold spring wind from the direction of Typhon. The slightly cool breath quickly filled his lungs, slightly lifting his spirits.
The tall Fort of the Treaty stands on a rocky platform. In the past almost the entire winter, countless slaves, stonemasons, carpenters, and transcendents have built this fort in the shortest time regardless of cost. Nearly a hundred slaves were exhausted or died in other accidents in the process, and even an architect from Typhon was crushed to death by falling rocks from the dome, and it was worth paying such a high price. And yet, despite the impossibly short working hours, the castle still lived up to the historical significance it was about to play.
The Fortress of the Treaty is a mixture of the two styles of Ansu and Typhon. It not only has the elegance and exquisiteness of the Ansu court, but also reflects the deep solemnity of the Typhon Empire with its black towers. In front of the fortress, a large open small plain is for The place where the guards and ministers of the two countries rest and watch the ceremony, and there is only one road leading to the fort. Ansu and Typhon each occupy one side of the road. Silas Loren is currently located near Ansu this side.
He controlled the slightly restless war horse under him. This horse had been dealing with the Typhon people with him for many years, and even learned to recognize the breath of Typhon soldiers. Those Typhon soldiers standing across the road were wearing The armor, the hanging flag, and the emblem all made the horse a little nervous, then he raised his head and looked at the figure opposite him across the wide road.
A heroic female knight rides on a brown war horse. The female knight has impressive gray long hair and looks quite young. She does not wear a helmet or tie up her long hair, but let The hair fluttered freely in the wind, and a pair of sharp eyes emerged from under the fluttering hair, and they were also falling on Silas Lauren at this moment.
Silas Lauren, who possesses the temperament of a warrior, smiled at the female knight, and greeted the female knight politely and without losing a sense of distance. Of course, he knew who the female knight was. The heir of the Wendell family of the Typhon Empire. The youngest wolf general is also the highest-status commander of Winter Wolf Castle. Since this female commander took over Winter Wolf Castle, the knights of the Roren family, and even Silas... Roren himself has fought against her. Having dealt with each other more than once, the two parties can be said to be "old acquaintances".
After saying hello, Duke Loren couldn't help but look back at Belk who was also riding behind him? Loren The heir of the Loren family also has talents far beyond his peers and is recognized in all aspects. He is regarded as the pride of Changfeng Fortress, but compared with the "Wolf General" opposite, Belk really has too many immaturities.
But it doesn't matter. Acquired experience and hard work can make up for a lot of things. Belk has the excellent blood of the Loren family and a strong belief in the pursuit of honor. As long as he maintains this motivation, this young man will be able to take charge of Changfeng Fortress on his own sooner or later. of.
The giant sun gradually moved to the highest point in the sky, and as the magic power from the sun gradually filled, a brilliant brilliance began to shine above the dome of the Fort of the Treaty. The magic material embedded in the dome absorbed the magic power in the sun, and then drove the fan. The heavy door wrapped in purple steel slowly opened.
The ceremonial officer came out of the castle and began to play music in front of the castle drawbridge.
A quarter of an hour after noon, the hazy lines on the surface of the giant sun began to become clear. Two parallel convoys appeared on the wide avenue leading to the castle. One convoy was hung with Anzu's sword and shield emblem, and the other was hung with Typhon's Shield and crown banner.
The soldiers on both sides of the road began to get nervous, and a low-pitched noise of armor blades rubbing against each other sounded all around. Silas Lauren also tensed up his muscles, staring intently at the two convoys that were heading towards the gate of the castle. He didn't know which carriage the king was in, or which carriage Typhon's emperor was in, but he knew that there were at least two high-ranking knights and a high-ranking mage in each carriage, and the entire convoy There are also two legendary powerhouses guarding them. Under such strict protection, theoretically, there will be no problems.
But he still can't help but get nervous, after all, this is the moment that decides the fate of two countries.
The king is guarded by the strong directly under the royal family. He, the Duke of the Eastern Region, is responsible for the safety of the entire Treaty Fort.
Nothing happened. Under the gaze of Silas Rollen, Belk Rollen, and Andersa Wendell on the opposite side, the convoys of the rulers of the two countries and their ministers drove into the treaty gate of the fort.
Fifteen minutes later, the heavy gate of the Fort of the Treaty slowly closed, and above the castle, the skylight on the dome of the main building opened, and two beams of bright magic light passed through the skylight and shot straight into the sky.
Seeing those two beams of light, Duke Lauren was slightly relieved.
That was the signal released by the legendary strongmen who entered the castle as personal guards. King Ansu and Emperor Typhon each had a legendary spellcaster beside them. After entering the castle, they would connect their own vitality with the monarch they were loyal to. Together, and then sent a signal to the skylight on the dome, as long as the signal beam is still there, it means that the hearts of the two rulers of Anzu and Typhon are still beating.
Next, according to the previously negotiated meeting procedure, the monarchs of the two countries will first have a half-day face-to-face secret meeting, and then open and formal negotiations will be held, including Silas Loren, the Duke of the Eastern Territory. After attending the negotiation process, and finally under the witness of everyone, the two countries will conclude a formal peace treaty.
Silas? Lauren thought silently about the process of the next meeting, raised his head slightly, and stared at the two signal beams above the castle that shot directly into the sky and aroused everyone's emotions.
A small bird flew by in the clear sky. It seemed to be curious about the two unusual beams of light. It circled a few times between the beams, and then uttered a melodious song. While circling, it headed to a higher place Fly away, and disappeared at the end of Duke Lauren's sight.
The birds chirping over Fort Contracting... Maybe this is a symbol of peace.
Although he is a warrior, but occasionally has poetic thoughts, Duke Silas Loren sighed slightly in his heart.
