Hearthstone Farm Lord

Chapter 338 Ceding Rhodes Island (thanks to the monthly pass of the Reading Gundam)

"You go down first, by the way, call old Ford to the study." Alex said absently to the waiter.

"Okay, sir."

The waiter saluted him, then slowly walked out of the study and closed the door behind him.

After the waiter left, Alex looked at the letter in his hand and was in a daze.

Ever since he learned that Jamie Finger, the shadow wizard on the top of the Sky Rank, was going to River Beach Town, he had already regarded Sean as a dead man.

But Sean actually won the war, and even captured Jamie Finger alive, which he never expected!

Jamie Finger is Alexander Ryan's right-hand man, and his failure will definitely hurt Alexander's forces. This is undoubtedly great news for the Violet family!

But Alex couldn't be happy, he just smiled bitterly.

The reason is simple, Sean is not "one of his own" to Alex.

The sudden emergence of Xiao En shows that there is a very powerful force behind him, but this force has nothing to do with the original force of the Violet family.

In some respects, Xiao En's power is no different from that of the local River Family and Hill Family.

So Sean can only be regarded as a "friendly army", not an "insider".

……

Moreover, Alex is also very worried about the forces behind Sean.

Because of the appearance of Kate Camellia and Matthew Iris, he thinks that Sean's influence is likely to come from the Kingdom of Anjou.

Sean must have obtained the support of the Kingdom of Anjou and became their puppet to gain the capital to defeat the Hemo coalition forces head-on.

It must be so!

……

"Alas! Poor Sean." Alex muttered to himself, "I'm afraid he has become a puppet supported by the Kingdom of Anjou."

At the same time, he looked towards the deepest part of the palace, where a cute little loli was sleeping soundly, it was Sean's sister - Zoe Violet.

"The hope of the Violet family's rise can only rest on Zoe!"

Alex's gaze hardened.

……

Not long after, Alex's butler, Old Ford, walked in and respectfully said to him:
"Master, are you looking for me?"

"Ford, is the envoy from the Kingdom of Anjou here?" Alex asked.

"Here he is. Now he is already at the embassy, ​​but..." Butler Ford seemed to have something to hide.

"Is there anything you don't want to say?" Alex frowned.

"That's right, the Anjou royal family claims that they don't want to interfere in the principality's affairs, and they want to focus all their energy on the Sunflower Principality in the north.

Therefore, all the people sent by the Anru Kingdom this time are subordinates of the Camellia family. "

"The Camellia family?"

Alex frowned and said, "Forget it, let's go see them!"

"Okay, sir."

Twenty minutes later, Alex's convoy arrived outside the Anjou Kingdom's embassy, ​​accompanied by a sky-level powerhouse.

Outside the embassy, ​​the envoys of the Kingdom of Anjou had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing Alex coming, the messenger immediately saluted him:
"Dear Saint Alex, on behalf of the King of Anjou and the Duke of Camellia, I would like to pay you high respects!"

"Yeah." Alex nodded coldly, and looked at the messenger.

The emissary was a very short, slightly fat middle-aged man with two mustaches and a shrewd look in his eyes.

If it weren't for the magician's robe on his body, Alex felt that he was more like a businessman.

But what made Alex dissatisfied was that this envoy only had a golden rank, which made him feel that the Shancha family did not have the sincerity to negotiate.

So he said coldly: "Why did the Duke of Camellia send you here? Can you represent the Camellia family or the Kingdom of Anjou?"

But unexpectedly, the messenger nodded seriously:
"Of course! My master is the sage Prome Camellia, and what I say can completely represent the Camellia family!"

"Oh? In this case, we can have a good talk."

Hearing the name "Prome Camellia", Alex immediately looked at the messenger with admiration.

Prome Shancha is the strongest person in the Shancha Family, the pinnacle of the Holy Realm. It is said that in a few years, he may become the second legendary strongman in the Anjou Kingdom, and his status is equivalent to his position in the Violet Family.

Since it was sent by Promi Camellia, this envoy is very worthy of attention!

So they chatted casually and walked towards the meeting room of the embassy.

Entering the meeting room, the messenger said to Alex:

"Respected Lord Saint, can you let all your subordinates leave? I think it's better for the two of us to talk alone."

Alex took a deep look at the envoy, and let the accompanying sky-level powerhouses leave the conference room.

After everyone left, the messenger took a deep breath and said:
"Lord Saint, time is money, so I won't talk nonsense.

That's it, our Shancha family can send people, troops, and supplies to help you completely defeat the rebels entrenched in Palomia.My master promises that we will send even the sanctuary-level powerhouses to the front line of the Principality of Ryan. "

"Then what's the price for this messenger?"

Alex stared at the messenger in front of him.

"It's very simple, just cede Kapoor Port to me."

The envoy hadn't finished speaking when he suddenly felt a mountain-like aura press down on him, making him completely out of breath.

His face turned liver-colored, as if drowning.

Alex was very angry. If Kapur Port was ceded, the existence of Delphi Fortress would have no meaning, and the entire Lane Principality would be undefendable, which would be almost equivalent to the destruction of the country!
But Alex is clear about the current situation of the principality, and besides, he can't kill the messenger.

So after punishing him a little, Alex let go of his momentum suppression.

……

The messenger covered his neck and gasped desperately. After his breathing became a little smoother, he smiled and said:

"Ahem, Lord Saint, we can talk about the conditions slowly! You don't need to be so angry."

"Hmph! In any case, Port Kapoor must not work."

"We can also make a little concession," the messenger said with a smile.

In the next hour, the two discussed in detail about Duke Shancha's dispatch of troops and the price paid by the Principality of Ryan, and finally reached a consensus.

First of all, the Duke of Shancha will send a sufficient number of strong men and [-] soldiers into the Principality of Ryan to wipe out the rebels.

As a reward, the Camellia family will obtain the right to mine all the gold mines near Palomia for three years, and the Principality of Ryan will cede Rhodes Island to the Kingdom of Anjou.

Rhodes Island is the only big island in the Principality of Ryan, but because the isolated overseas has been occupied by pirates for a long time, the Principality of Ryan has actually lost control of Rhodes Island.

Ceding Rhodes Island to the Kingdom of Anjou directly, Alex felt that there was no loss, so he readily agreed.
