In Baiye City, Creek Rodente received the invitation from Verin. He was a little confused, but he still ordered people to prepare and entertain him.

Eight days ago, he had received the military order from the headquarters. Starting half a month ago, he had been under the command of Angus, the commander of the Aix Legion.

Two days later, Creek, along with a group of subordinates and Confederate generals, waited at the city gate.

Verin asked the troops to stop a hundred meters away, and led Endeke and Kyle forward, saluting slightly and smiling.

"This is your first visit, Sir Creek. Don't mind."

"Welcome, General Verin." Creek Rodente returned the greeting.

"General, this is a very affectionate title."

"Please come in."

At the invitation of Creek, Verin and his party entered Baiye City.

At night, a banquet was held in the city lord's palace. Many generals of the Southern Army wore formal attires and attended the banquet to appear in front of the boss's son.

For this communication, Weilin was very handy and got to know some nobles from the Southern Army who wanted to make progress. Many of them wanted to offer their wealth and only asked Weilin to speak a few more words for them in front of his father.

Weilin righteously refused this corrupt act, but promised to help them put in a good word in front of his father.

Therefore, Weilin's reputation rose rapidly in the hearts of the aristocratic children of the southern army in Baiye City.

"The rumors coming out of Huoye City must be caused by traitors who want the Northern Army." A noble said to his friend in a medium voice.

"I also think so. How could a noble person like Mr. Weilin do such a thing that damages his reputation? It must be the slander of those traitors. These people should be sent to the stake and confess their sins to the goddess of life. Sin." The young nobleman echoed.

Crick picked up a glass of wine and listened to everyone's conversation. He looked calm on the surface, but secretly he was surprised.

Just as he thought, those direct descendants of the great nobles were not as simple as they seemed on the surface. With a few tricks, they could change the direction of the situation.

By comparison, he found that the person he was loyal to, Sigrid Rodent, also had many similarities.

"No, you can't have such delusional thoughts. This is disrespectful to adults." Creek shook his head and threw these sinful thoughts out of his mind.

After the banquet, Verin visited Creek alone.

"General Verin, please take a seat." Creek invited the other party to take a seat, and asked the attendant to serve tea, and then went out to guard and not allow anyone to come in.

Weilin picked up the tea cup and took a sip, then said, "Sir Crick, I have a business to discuss with you."

"Please make it clear, general." Unknowingly, Creek had put himself in a lower position, serving the other party like a subordinate.

"Earl Baiye begged me, hoping to take back the ownership of Baiye Territory." Weilin observed the change in his facial expression and said unhurriedly, "There are also two other earls who border the Baiye Territory and are stationed there. The troops are all affiliated with the Rodente Corps and are all acquainted with you.”

"For every territory they take back, they are willing to pay a ransom worth three million gold coins. I will only take five hundred thousand gold coins as an introduction fee, and the remaining two and a half million gold coins will be given to you."

"General Weilin, what you said is true." When Creek heard the amount of money, he stood up suddenly and stared at Weilin with shining eyes.

"Of course, Lord Crick makes your choice." Weilin looked at him with a smile.

Creek realized that he had lost his temper, sat down again, and said apologetically: "I am willing to make this deal, but I hope you will not tell the garrison generals in the other two cities, and let me negotiate with them."

"Of course. Since I came to see the general, I naturally took a fancy to the general's character." Weilin opened his eyes and told lies. Although he only got Creek's information halfway, it did not prevent him from flattering him.

If a beggar had said this, Creek would have dismissed it, but as the heir of the Earl of Eagle, what he said was very useful to him.

After chatting for a few more words, Weilin said goodbye and left. Creek personally sent him to the city lord's palace and waited until the other party was gone before returning to the city lord's palace.

In the carriage, Verin told Kyle what happened, leaving him stunned.

"Lord, you took half of it, and the other party is so grateful. Isn't this a bit..."

"Hahaha, this is just a means. I believe that when Creek goes to negotiate with the other two people, he will also take part of it." Welin looked at Kyle's expression and explained with a smile, "Go and knock on that If the three earls dare to talk nonsense, there must be a place for the three of them at the front line."

"Yes." Kyle nodded and replied.

Weilin always lamented that by seizing the power and relying on the mountains, under the general trend, just saying a few words can harvest countless wealth.

I remember that when I left the Eagle Territory to pioneer, my father only gave me wealth worth 300,000 gold coins.

The family rules specified by the first generation of Earl Eagle: Favoring a son is like killing a son. A small amount of money and wealth can stimulate the desire of children to explore. Giving too much money and materials will make them lazy and unenterprising.

Over the years, the Akers family has also had ancestors who failed to develop and lost their lives.

As long as someone dies in the hands of monsters or natural disasters during pioneering activities, the family will only send people to collect the bones and ignore them.

If someone dies in a conspiracy, the family will do their best to avenge him.

The most typical one is the Harkes family. Even if the other party is the Marquis family, the Ax family has been hostile to the other party for hundreds of years in order to take revenge.

With this example in front of me, most families in the Kingdom of Ilia will be friendly towards the pioneers of the Akers family and try to avoid conflicts.

Even if there is a misunderstanding, it will be resolved in the shortest possible time to avoid retaliation from the other party.

A few years ago, the cursed mask incident was used as a trigger, and the family was behind it, and the other party was finally brought down. The whole family was placed under house arrest in the royal capital, and the foundation was also dug up. If they want to revive in the future, except for the demise of the Ax family , otherwise it is simply impossible.

In the next few days, Weilin took his close enemies on a tour in Baiye City.

……

"Cousin Crick, thank you for giving us brothers this opportunity to make a fortune." The two bald heads stood up and saluted Crick, their voices full of gratitude.

"If we continue to fight, what do our descendants do for a living? It's not status and wealth." Crick said kindly with a smile on his face.

When the elder brother saw this, he was very moved: "I think one million gold coins is too much wealth. How about we take half a million gold coins."
