The Origin of Arcane

Everyone obey the command and board the ship according to the order. We are the people of the Yongye army leader, and we are here to take you home.

It wasn't until this time that the leader of the Yongye army formally explained the situation to these crocodile civilians.

Military Leader Yongye? It's really the leader of Yongye Army.

We are saved, we are really saved.

Go home, we're going home, we're really going home.

These crocodile civilians who were dominated by hunger only reacted one after another at this time, peeking at each other, bursting into ecstasy.

Isn't this reflex arc really too long? It's only now that we realize the difference between us and those Kingsley soldiers?

When your hungry legs and feet become weak and you see the delicious vitality porridge, your IQ will also become negative, maybe even worse than them!

Don't be joking, there are countless people staring at us, complete the task as soon as possible, who knows if Ake Messer will change his mind.

Yes, sir.

During the retreat of the Crocodile civilians led by the Eternal Night Army, there were countless hungry green eyes looking at them on both sides.

In addition to the elite troops dispatched by Axmesser to monitor the actions of the Yong Ye army leader, there were also hungry soldiers who were attracted by the aroma of vitality porridge.

If it weren't for Akemesser's elite army blocking the front, I'm afraid it would have caused a commotion long ago.

Ake Messer witnessed the whole process with a blank face, and his heart was surging.

Seeing the big from the small, the planning and organization of the Yongye military leader has been integrated into their bones. It seems that everything is arranged in an orderly manner. To be an opponent of such a force, if you have a little loophole, just Will be taken advantage of by the opponent.

The failure of the Kingsley family to conquer the east this time seems to be full of chance, and they suffered from the losses of the pig teammates.

In fact, it is full of inevitable factors.

Compared with the civilians of the crocodile tribe, the leader of the Yongye army was not so gentle in treating those mercenaries who were coming over as if they were heads. He directly asked the Kingsley family to help drive them to the shore and ship them to Basu Hebei. Shore, temporarily imprisoned.

After this transaction was completed, the negotiations between the Yong Ye army leader and the Kingsley family were truly on the right track.

We can release all the soldiers trapped on the east bank by His Excellency, but His Excellency needs to promise us a few conditions. Sean directly asked the conditions.

Speaking.

First, all the troops of the Kingsley family will be withdrawn 20 kilometers west of the Criminal Alliance, and all the cities of the Criminal Alliance will be handed over to the Yongye Army Commander.

second?

The second rule is that the Kingsley soldiers in Brother Port disarm and disarm on the spot. The weapons and equipment are handed over to the Yong Ye Army Commander, and the Yong Ye Army Commander is responsible for transporting the personnel back to the Carter Army Commander.

third?

Article 3, the Kingsley family will pay 80 million royal gold coins as war compensation as the start-up funds for the crocodile people to rebuild their homes.

What about the fourth?

that's it.

That's all? Grand Duke Buck looked at Sean sarcastically and said, I thought His Excellency the Baron would let me give up the position of Grand Duke Carter.

Sean said righteously: I'm not such a greedy person, we will never encroach on half an inch of the Kingsley family's original land.

Not such a greedy person? Grand Duke Buck sneered even more, I have never seen a person who is more greedy than the baron.

Sean's face has long been tempered to be thicker than the city wall, and he will not be affected by Grand Duke Buck's attitude at all, So the Grand Duke has objections to our conditions?

There are more than just objections? The objections are overwhelming. Grand Duke Buck restrained his personal emotions and said solemnly, Let's talk about it one by one.

First, let our army withdraw to 20 kilometers west of the criminal alliance. This contradicts what your Excellency just said, not occupying half an inch of the original land of the Kingsley family. The so-called criminal alliance is nothing more than A group of bandits and rogues occupying the mountains as kings, those towns were actually established by the knights conferred by the Kingsley family, and they were originally the inherent land of the Kingsley family.

Wait? Sean made a pause gesture and interrupted Buck's way: It is true that these towns were originally established by the knights conferred by the Kingsley family, but they were all hopeless swamps occupied by pioneer knights. Land, if according to the theory of Your Excellency the Grand Duke, the pioneering knight conferred by our Eternal Night Army Commander builds a town in the Karth Army Commander, and this town will become the existing land of the Eternal Night Army Commander? If this is the case, the entire Isn't the alliance messed up?

Your Excellency's analogy is not appropriate. The knights who established these towns are indeed pioneer knights, but they occupied the land of no man. At that time, the Swamp of Despair had not yet belonged to the Byron Alliance, and the Lord of Eternal Night had not yet been established. Grand Duke Buck replied clearly.

What we are discussing here is not a historical issue, but the issue of the sovereignty of the Crocodiles in the Swamp of Despair. Your Excellency just said that those pioneer knights occupied the land of no man, but that is only in the eyes of the Kingsley family. This There is no real no-man's land in the world. Their original masters were the crocodile tribe, and the leader of the Yongye army has integrated the crocodile tribe, so he has the right to receive all the relevant rights and interests of the crocodile tribe. If we really go back to history, the Kingsley family may not have an advantage Right? According to historical records, the Kingsley family is just a viscount family of the ancient Andes Empire, with a territory of only a hundred kilometers.

Grand Duke Baer's face darkened, and he couldn't help but angrily said: You are sophistry, let's talk about the current affairs, what are you talking about about the ancient Andes Empire?

Xiao En spread his hands and said innocently: The Grand Duke was talking about historical issues just now, so I just analyzed it from a historical perspective.

Nonsense. Grand Duke Buck slapped the table angrily and left the table.

A half-hour break. Princess Regent Sophilia, who witnessed the negotiation, said.

Seeing that Grand Duke Buck was walking away, Sophilia and Sean whispered: I didn't expect the Baron to have such a big appetite. Are you afraid to scare our Grand Duke away?

Believers can't run away from the church if they run away. As long as his army is still on the east bank, this big fish can't get off the hook. Do you really believe that Your Excellency the Grand Duke has the courage to kill a fish and break a net? Sean, with an army of tens of thousands, sat firmly on the Diaoyutai and killed Duke Buck to death.

The conditions he put forward, although it will hurt Duke Buck to the marrow, are better than being divided up by a pack of wolves.

It's true that he doesn't have the courage to die, but it's hard for him to accept if they hurt their muscles and bones, especially the second one. If all his elite troops are disarmed and disarmed, only a few hundred thousand people will come back. , If you want to rearm, it will definitely not be completed in a year or so. What is the difference between being rescued? The Kingsley family may find it difficult to agree. Sophie Liya said from a relatively neutral perspective.

It's just sitting on the ground and raising the price. Xiao En said with a smile, Slow down, time is on my side anyway.

It's best for you to know in your heart, remember my bottom line. The regent princess emphasized again.

Grand Duke Buck turned around in less than half an hour, and said blankly: Let's continue.

An old politician like him would never lose control of his emotions just because he couldn't reach an agreement. He just took advantage of the problem and left the meeting to explain and negotiate with his think tank team and come up with countermeasures.

Sean raised the price on the spot, of course he had to pay back the money on the spot.

This is destined to be a long tug-of-war. The two sides are arguing back and forth around the three clauses proposed by the leader of the Yongye army, striving for the greatest benefit for themselves from various angles. This is by no means the business of Sean and Duke Buck. It is a confrontation between two think tank teams.

What affects the final result is not only the negotiating factors on the court, but also various off-court factors.

In the preliminary agreement, the 5,000 Kingsley family soldiers who returned to the Carter army with the help of the Yongye army leader began to show their power. With the cooperation of the 3,000 elite soldiers and 20,000 mine slave soldiers squeezed out like Duke Buck squeezed toothpaste, The Kingsley family fought undeclared war against those forces who took advantage of the fire.

With a tough attitude, they chopped off the claws that stretched out to them. The first to bear the brunt was Adolf, the military family who belonged to the royal family of Lancelot. The 5,000 noble private soldiers they drove into the disputed territory without permission were all taken away by the Kingsley family. The merciless killings did not even leave time for lectures and buffers.

This is not over, the Kingsley family took the opportunity to drive straight in, and took back the other two territories that were in dispute with the Adolf family and whose ownership was temporarily in the hands of the Adolf family. noodle.

On the one hand, the Kingsley family is killing chickens for monkeys to warn those nobles and nobles who want to take advantage of the fire, and clearly tell them that it is true that the Kingsley family is now in an unprecedented weak state. The background they have is far from what they can compare, and a little strength leaked through the fingers can crush them to death.

Moreover, they have now started the negotiation process with the Yongye Army Commander. Once their army is taken back, they will settle their accounts after the fall.

Furthermore, the negotiation with the Yong Ye Army Leader has occupied too much of their energy, and they have no more energy to entangle with them. First use force to suppress it, so as not to let the situation worsen, and indirectly affect their negotiations with the Yong Ye Army Leader. .

For the Kingsley family, rescuing their hundreds of thousands of troops is a top priority, and everything has to be compromised for this matter.

Only by rescuing them can the Kingsley family have a future.

The thunderous tactics of the Kingsley family did scare many people. Many forces that originally wanted to take advantage of the fire could not help but weigh their own weight, whether they could withstand the thunderous blow of the Kingsley family.

A lean camel is bigger than a horse.

The Kingsley family has been standing for so many years, and they still have a lot of heritage, and it is not so easy to collapse.

There are also unwilling forces who are secretly trying to obstruct the talks between the leader of the Yongye army and the Kingsley family, hoping that the leader of the Yongye army will completely kill the Kingsley family's eastern conquest army on the east bank of the Donau River so that they can drink soup along with them.

It's just that most of these forces have limited capabilities and limited influence.

However, with the entry of two big forces, the situation has become more complicated.

These two great powers are none other than the Holy See of Ether and the Secret Council of Witches.

These two international forces have shown a vigorous and active state in the past ten years, especially the emphasis on secular rights is increasing day by day.

This is directly related to the change of power within the Holy See of Saint Ether.

In order to compete for the succession of the next pope, those cardinals are trying to expand their influence.

Just normal preaching, it is difficult to achieve eye-catching and explosive results.

Therefore, these cardinals came up with a shortcut, that is to cooperate with those lords and nobles. With the cooperation of these lords, they used lures and even coercive methods to convert the following citizens. Naturally, the speed was much faster than normal preaching. Also more eye-catching.

As for the secret meeting of witches, the enmity with the Holy See of Saint Ether is too deep. Whatever the Holy See wants to do, they will definitely try to stop it, especially this kind of expansion.

The greater the power of the Holy See, the smaller their living space.

This time, the Holy See aimed its sights at the Carthus military leader.

Since the Carter and Manyu military leaders have not completely banned slavery, their rulers are very unimpressed with the Holy See, which advocates the equality of all beings and the liberation of souls, and has been resisting their full entry.

Among them, the Karth army leader with a large number of mining slaves is the most. After so many years of operation, the proportion of mining slaves has reached an astonishing number here.

With the Kingsley family strictly guarding against death, riots, riots, and defections of miners are still emerging one after another. If the Holy See is allowed to settle in on a large scale and publicize their methods, the entire Carter army leader may become a pot of gruel. .

When the Kingsley family was strong in the past, they were naturally monolithic from top to bottom.

Now that the Kingsley family has fallen into an unprecedented weak state, everything is possible.

Archduke Buck, who used to be insensitive to the Holy See of Saint Ether, suddenly became a devout believer, and the cardinal of the Holy See became his guest of honor.

In particular, one of the strong competitions for the next pope, the carriage of Cardinal Inoko, the head of the diocese of Vallesta, frequently appeared in front of Archduke Buck's residence in the royal capital.

What we just said, please leave it to His Excellency the bishop. Archduke Buck sincerely took Cardinal Inoko's hand and said, After the matter is completed, I am not only willing to spend the rest of my life serving the truth. God, in the next ten years, I will build at least one hundred churches in the territory, all named after Nott.

Nott was the surname of Cardinal Inoko before he joined the Holy See of Ether.

Your Majesty has a heart. You can build a church, but you can avoid the matter of naming it after Nott. It saves people from talking about it. Your Majesty's intention is enough.

Cardinal Inoko's wrinkled face smiled like a blooming chrysanthemum, Don't worry about the things entrusted by His Majesty, this is Byron, where there are rules, we can't let them, these wild forces, be rampant. Come on, Princess Sophilia is young and easily deceived by treachery, which is normal, we have an obligation to help her correct, for the benefit of all Byron, some personal interests must be given up.

Byron has been able to stand for so many years because of the selfless people like His Excellency Bishop. Archduke Buck sincerely praised, It is my biggest regret that I didn't realize this before.

It's not too late to find out now. Cardinal Inoko said with a reserved face, It won't be long before His Majesty will find out that the glory of the true God is stronger than you imagined. If it happens, it will make those people sincerely dedicate themselves and make the territory more stable and prosperous.

I'll wait and see. Grand Duke Buck had just the right expectation on his face, I'm waiting for the good news from His Excellency the Bishop.

Stay here. Cardinal Inoko boarded his quaint carriage.

It wasn't until he had traveled a long way that Enoch couldn't help laughing loudly, the solemnity that belonged to the cardinal was gone.

Notre Cathedral, haha... Hundreds of Notre Cathedral sounds really interesting. It seems that Buck, the old fox, is in a really bad situation, and he doesn't even want the last skin.

But for me, it's a great thing. Hey, if you can take down the leader of Carter, I see what you can fight with me. My dear Bishop St. George, cheers for the glory of the true God.

Cardinal Inoko satisfactorily filled a glass of crystal-clear wine for himself, and raised his glass in the direction of St. Eden alone.
