The Origin of Arcane

Grand Duke Buck snorted, and asked blankly: So, Your Highness can promise now?

There's still no way to promise anything. Sophie Liya made a helpless expression, Others don't know, but the Grand Duke doesn't know either? The Yong Ye army leader is so powerful, how could it be just a vassal of me? The real relationship between us is just an alliance of interests. I am still on the passive side. Back then, Jacob Jiang Fuliu was approached by others on his own initiative. I just took the opportunity to seek some of my own interests. Us, you can imagine, what kind of situation we will be in now? My fief will become an out-and-out ghost, in fact, my influence on the Eternal Night Army Commander is quite limited.

Grand Duke Buck just looked at Sophilia blankly, watching her performance.

The highest level of lying is nine points of truth and one point of falsehood.

Even if Sophie Liya has not cultivated to the highest level, she is not far behind.

Grand Duke Buck believes that the relationship between the Princess Regent and the leader of the Yongye army is indeed just an alliance of interests as she said. After all, the strength of the leader of the Yongye army is there. If Sophie Liya has the ability to support such a powerful puppet , might as well be self-fat.

He also believed that the matter of Jacob Jiang Fuliu was indeed led by the leader of the Yongye Army.

He has personally experienced the power of black powder, and they should have used this to change the world and bring Jacob Jiang back to life.

But don't you think it's too late to say these things now?

If it had been known earlier that the leader of the Yongye Army had mastered the secret weapon of black powder, why would the Kingsley family have suffered such a big loss?

If Sophie Liya wanted to say that she had no influence on the leader of the Yong Ye army, she wouldn't believe it even if she killed him.

Where did the large amount of cheap military rations led by the Yong Ye army come from?

It’s not that she transported it all by herself. If there is no army food supply from her, most of them are Yongye military leaders in the mountains after only ten years of establishment. swamp.

As long as the princess regent cuts off the army's food supply, the Yongye army leader will fall into the same food shortage situation as the Kingsley family, and he will not submit to it obediently—— Grand Duke Buck still doesn't know that his food supplier has already switched to the arms of the Yongye army leader Well, the 8,000 tons of military rations that should have been sold to him at the beginning are now in Xiao En's pocket.

Even if the military rations are not used, there is still the Jacob River trade.

With this as a means of coercion, how could the leader of the Yongye army not care about her three points?

In the end, Grand Duke Buck did not choose to expose the princess regent, because he knew that in this situation, the power of truth was pale and powerless, and he asked stiffly: Ming people don't speak dark words, you and I know, the Kingsley family Once the elite army of the Carthus army is wiped out, what kind of fatal impact will it have on the Carter army leader? Let’s put aside the covenant three hundred years ago. The supply has been reduced by half out of thin air. When the Kingsley family's three hundred years of inheritance cannot continue, I'm not sure if I can maintain my sanity. , Don’t even think about resuming production.”

The implication of Duke Buck's words is very obvious. If the Kingsley family is over, you don't want to get cheap. He will destroy those mines at all costs. No matter who falls into the hands of those mines, don't even think about resuming production in a short time. When the time comes The entire Byron Alliance will be impacted. Once the Odin orcs are given the opportunity, the Kingsley family will drag the entire Byron Alliance to be buried with them.

Grand Duke Buck knew very well what the princess regent was most afraid of.

Are you threatening me? Sophie Liya's jade face suddenly turned cold, her delicate eyebrows were raised, and there was an unconcealable evil spirit.

Threat? How could it be? I'm just stating a fact. Grand Duke Buck had a broken expression.

When the third fleet of the Commons family was defeated and the 200,000 troops of the Kingsley family were trapped on the east bank of the Donau River.

His face has been completely lost, and the Lords and nobles of Valesta made him realize this more clearly.

In order to rescue his own army, he no longer cares about these hypocrisy.

At this moment, the air became very cold and hard.

The two people standing at the pinnacle of power just looked at each other, as if they wanted to find something from each other's demeanor and expression.

Sadly, nothing.

Both are out-and-out masters of disguise, and they are in control of their emotions.

Especially on this occasion, the emotions expressed have unique and profound meanings.

This suffocating atmosphere lasted for three minutes before it thawed with Sophia's smile, Your Majesty is Laurie's uncle, and Laurie's relatives are my relatives. We are all family members. How could it be possible to see death without saving it? But I can only guarantee that I will do my best to deal with it, but I can't guarantee whether it will be successful or not.

It is enough to have His Highness's words. Grand Duke Buck was overjoyed, showing his first smile in these days, his tense nerves finally relaxed a little, and he only felt extremely tired.

Although the promise of the regent princess is not equal to a death-free ticket, it at least represents an attitude, an attitude that can enter the negotiation process.

Judging from Sophilia's previous performance, she must have communicated with the leader of the Yongye army and reached a certain consensus.

The rest is the question of the price, for which he is already mentally prepared.

Sophie Liya said: When negotiating this kind of thing, there must always be someone who bows his head first. Your Majesty is someone who has experienced it. I don't need to say it. I should understand this truth. Now that we are at a disadvantage, should we take the initiative to release this signal?

Grand Duke Buck asked thoughtfully, What does Your Highness mean?

I heard that there are nearly 20,000 crocodile civilians in your army. Why don't you hand them over to Baron Sean as a gift for peace talks to show your sincerity? It is said that your supreme commander, General Ake Messer, wants to use 20,000 crocodile tribesmen to obtain a large amount of military rations from the leader of the Eternal Night Army. What is the point of doing so? If the peace talks fail, no matter how much food your army has, it will only be a delay. At the time of your own collapse, if the peace talks are successful, you will not be able to transport so much food back from thousands of miles away, right?

Your Highness can ensure that if we release those 20,000 crocodile civilians, the leader of the Yong Ye army will agree to peace talks? Duke Buck asked back.

I still can't guarantee this, I just put forward a possibility, how to choose, the right is still in the hands of His Majesty. Sophie Liya's answer is still ambiguous, If Your Majesty is willing to nod, when I persuade Baron Sean, At least one more hole card.

As long as the leader of the Yongye army shows his sincerity in the peace talks, it won't be difficult to release those 20,000 crocodile civilians. Grand Duke Buck said without hesitation.

How can Baron Sean show his sincerity in the peace talks? Sophie Liya asked back.

Let me twenty thousand elites cross the river.

Understood, I will pass it on to Baron Sean and see how they respond. I also ask Your Excellency to go back and wait for the good news. If there is any news, I will notify you as soon as possible.

Then please trouble Your Highness, this is a little favor from me, please accept it very much. Grand Duke Buck pushed a gift list in front of Sophie Liya.

Your Excellency, you are really polite. The smile on Sophie Liya's face became even sweeter. Although it was just a glimpse, the numbers on the gift list still made her heart skip a beat.

Although there are rumors outside that the Kingsley family is in financial crisis, a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and it is still not a small test to cut a piece of meat from the other party.

Not to mention that in order to save his 200,000 troops, Archduke Buck spent all his money. What he just pushed over was not only a mountain of gold and silver, but a mountain of gold, a treasure that the royal family of Lancelot had coveted for a long time. The hundred-year dominance of the viscount's territory, where the annual output of no less than one million royal gold coins, will not be a problem if it manages two or three million, it is definitely a big deal.

Compared to the achievements of the Yongye army in the Swamp of Despair, this may not be a big deal, but this is what Sophie Liya obtained without any effort while sitting on the throne, and the nature is different.

With the help of the Regent Princess Sophilia, the Yong Ye army leader and the Kingsley family formally reached a consensus and began a long negotiation.

In the beginning, the talks were still over the air. In the end, Sean personally led the negotiating team to Valesta, the capital of the kingdom.

The initial discussion between the two parties was still about the 20,000 crocodile civilians. After all, this issue was the most urgent. The longer the crocodile civilians stayed in the hands of the Kingsley family's Eastern Army, the more their casualties would be. Over time it depreciates more and more.

The terms of exchange offered by the Kingsley family have also changed. They are no longer asking for food, but wanting the leader of the Eternal Night Army to release an elite group of the Kingsley family to cross the river.

The reason for such a change is because of the changes in the situation of the Kingsley family. Their neighbors are becoming more and more excessive. If the Kingsley family does not take counterattacks, they will be eaten away.

And there are not so many mobile troops to mobilize within the Carter army leader, and those miners have also received the news, whispering in the dark corners, once they have an opportunity, they will definitely rise up, and at that time it will be considered that the true god came to the world , Can't save Carter's army leader.

Your Excellency, why don't we take a step back and release all the crocodile civilians in your hands. Not only will I let five thousand of your elites cross the river, but I will also send a fleet to transport them back to Carter's commander. Sean said with a tongue full of flowers. Even if we really sent 20,000 elites back, they dragged their feet back to Carter's army, and within a month or two, it's impossible to do it. What's more, the Swamp of Despair is about to enter the rainy season, and I'm afraid they will walk more slowly by then. , with our help, it will definitely not take more than a week from the Danube River to the Jacob River, and we will be able to send it to the designated location.

Sean and the others have now spotted the weakness of the Kingsley family and took advantage of it.

Using troops as a condition, in exchange for letting the elite of the Kingsley family return home, because the more soldiers of the Kingsley family are detained on the east bank of the Donau River, the bigger the cards they hold in their hands in the future negotiation process, and The faster the food consumption rate, the less time Grand Duke Buck will have to react, and the greater the possibility of making concessions.

As for whether other forces that want to take advantage of the fire will be flooded in this process, the leader of the Yongye army can't control it. He has nothing to do with them and has no obligation to take care of their interests.

Grand Duke Buck showed a heart-wrenching expression.

Soldiers are expensive and fast.

Just like what Sean said, now that the Swamp of Despair has entered the rainy season, for the heavy armored infantry, the muddy road is simply a disaster. Even if the Yong Ye army leader promised to let 20,000 Kingsley family soldiers cross the river and rush back to the Carter army leader in a hurry, I don't know how long it will take, their enemies have already received the news and united.

What's more, there are other constraints, such as logistics supplies, and the Yong Ye army leader's reluctance to let go. In their eyes, 20,000 crocodile civilians are not worth the price.

But they can afford it, but the Kingsley family can't.

Five thousand is a very precise number, barely enough to reach the bottom line of the Kingsley family's use. At that time, thousands of elite soldiers and tens of thousands of slaves will be drawn from the territory to deal with those looters who take advantage of the fire.

According to Grand Duke Buck's understanding of the Yongye army leader, this number did not come out of thin air, but was obtained through careful calculation by their military staff department.

Five thousand is five thousand. Grand Duke Buck gritted his teeth and said in a final struggle, In addition to the five thousand elites, you will also be responsible for transporting 200 tons of grain and grass, free of charge.

The news that the food merchants from the Huayu Plateau who I have worked so hard to attract with huge sums of money has fallen into the arms of the Yongye Army, Grand Duke Buck already knows, and now dreaming back at midnight, he still hates it, but there is nothing he can do.

If you lose, you lose. I don't have the extra energy to manage them. It's only natural for those grain merchants to find their own way out.

But it is not enough to have soldiers without food.

No problem. Sean was never willing to lose money in business, But you have to use those 10,000 mercenaries as extras to make it happen.

When the Kingsley family attacked Brother Port earlier, they had recruited tens of thousands of mercenary cannon fodder from the Criminal Alliance City and the Huayu Plateau grain merchants, and now there are still tens of thousands left.

What do they want these mercenaries for?

Such a question flashed through Duke Buck's mind, but he nodded without hesitation and said, Deal.

No matter what the Yongye military leader wants to do, they are willing to accept it, and the Kingsley family can't wait for it.

Because these 10,000 mercenaries have become the scourge of the Kingsley family's expedition to the East. They have come here for money from the beginning to the end, and they have no loyalty or recognition for the Kingsley family.

When the Kingsley family's Eastern Army was in a desperate situation, they didn't think about how to tide over the difficulties with them, but how to get their commission back home.

They have become the biggest destabilizing factor.

If the Yongye army leader doesn't want them to go and be cleared out by the Kingsley family, it will be a matter of time.

The people above moved their mouths, while the people below were busy with short legs.

Sean reached an agreement with Duke Buck, but it was only a matter of a few words.

And because of their few words, the Yongye Army Leader and the Kingsley Family Zhengdong Army began to circle around.

The transport ships led by the Yongye army began to sail into Brother Port in large numbers.

Brother, when you are on the battlefield, help us slaughter a few robbers who took advantage of the fire. They really think that our Kingsley family is over.

No problem, you guys also hold on, now that the negotiations have started, I believe it won't be long before you can set foot on your way home, see you in my hometown.

Goodbye home.

Brother Port is a parting scene, and they didn't say it clearly, but they all know that for many people, this is a farewell, and they may never have the chance to meet again in this life.

After all, these five thousand elite soldiers did not let them go home, but went to the battlefield.

This Ake Messer did not hide it, he made it clear from the beginning.

There is no way to lie about this kind of thing. If they wait until the end of the field, those soldiers find that they are not going home, but going to the battlefield. Once there is a conflict in their hearts, it will be a disaster for the Kingsley family.

What's more, they had to appease the remaining soldiers of the Kingsley family.

As time went on, it became increasingly difficult to appease them, and the homecoming and anxiety became more intense.

The only good thing is that since the two sides started the formal negotiation process, the army led by Yong Ye only blocked the battle and no longer played psychological tactics.

Relying on his majesty in the past, Ake Messer could barely hold back.

Five thousand people, a total of three building ships and eighty troop transport ships led by the Yong Ye Army were used.

The building ship is indeed an artifact of inland river troop transport, and its single transport volume is more than ten times that of ordinary troop transport ships.

The 5,000 soldiers have all been loaded on the ship. This is the roster, and please inspect it by Your Excellency the Marshal. Bran and Ake Messer performed the final handover.

For this kind of task, Yong Ye's military leader is very skilled and meticulous.

Thanks for donating 100 coins for not letting the English name be rewarded!
