He who was defeated in the battle can already be said to have betrayed his relatives at this time. After all, when Shirley attacked the orcs in the north, he sent troops to attack, which can be said to be helping the orcs to fight the human race.

In the eyes of many people, a civil war is a civil war, but if you help foreigners beat your own people, this is an act of rape. If you win, maybe others will fear your power and dare not say anything, but now you have lost completely. If you lose cleanly, others can spare you.

In this negotiation, the Duke of Stugalbo knows what it means to be surrounded by enemies. There is no nobleman around who is willing to help him. As long as he asks, those people will hide quickly.

When he was in the north before, these people were very friendly when they met, but now, it was like seeing a ghost when they met.

"The territory belongs to me, and I also said that you will pay for the start of my army this time."

His fist is hardened. He used to be the troublemaker for other people, but now, it is someone else who is troublesome for him. The territory is gone, and he has to pay the indemnity for the defeat. But although he has a lot of money, it is fine to pay the indemnity , He also wanted to redeem his capital city and buy back the nearby Earldom, which was also a large expense, plus re-recruitment of troops.This is even more expensive.

"Reparations, yes, but I want to buy back the territory, I..."

"I said, don't sell it, and you can't afford it. I don't want too much indemnity for defeat. When you first attacked me, it was an upright attack. I was prepared, so the loss is not big. You pay me five thousand The gold coins are gone, but this time, you are not only a sneak attack, but also a backstab when I attacked the orcs. It was a shameful and despicable attack during the negotiation between us, so I want you [-] gold coins, no It's too much."

One hundred thousand?It’s not too much to pay Nima, Stugalbo is stupid, not only him, but also many other nobles. Is this compensation? This is a slashing of an artery, directly killing people.

"Is there a problem with what I said? If I learn from him in the future, wouldn't the many earls I stationed in the north be safe at all? We worked hard to resist the orcs in the north, but behind the scenes, we have to beware of those villains. Is it fair for us to attack from behind?"

With a straight-forward speech, the many nobles who said it were silent. Although they were in the imperial capital, they still had some understanding of the earls who defended the orcs in the northern border.

Why didn't the Duke of Stugalbo occupy or win over the earldoms at the northernmost end of the northern border? It was because those earldoms faced the invasion of orcs every year. After taking it, the money might not be much, but the payment was more than the gain. There are too many.

However, it is these lords, these nobles, who lead the soldiers and civilians at the northernmost end of the empire to continuously resist the orcs' invasion of the south.They paid iron and blood, but at the most critical moment, they were stabbed in the back by their own people, which is absolutely unacceptable.

Shirley grasped this point and wanted to make Duke Stugalbo bleed, and even said, "If severe punishment is not given at this time, the northern lord will be disappointed, and if others try to imitate, It will inevitably make the northern border more unstable."

In fact, many nobles really want to tell Shirley. Judging from the current situation, the stability of the northern border depends on you, but they don't say it because they dare not.What they were afraid of before was the Duke of Stugalbo, but now they are afraid of Phoenix.This family originated in the imperial capital and rose in the northern border.

"That's right. If everyone in the northern region follows suit in the future, how can the lords stationed in the north be able to safely resist the orcs' invasion of the south. Shirley is right."

It was Fafnir III who spoke first. Although others recognized it, their status was still too low. As for the dukes, they were still allies on the surface, so they couldn't do too much. Only the royal family was the first to speak at this time. The reason was finalized.

"Your Majesty, what kind of oil and water do those earls in the northern border have, and who would want the territory there?"

As soon as this remark came out, it really surprised people. Is this what a duke should say?Isn't this obviously putting the desire for territory on the table, isn't this obviously mocking the earls who fought bloody battles in the north?

Do you know what you said wrong?I know, but can I not say it at this time, one hundred thousand gold coins, he is only tens of thousands of gold coins at most, and this is the total sum of other unoccupied castles.

In other words, I can't afford to pay just the compensation, so how can I recruit troops in the future.How can he make a comeback?No matter what happens now, he absolutely cannot let the royal family, the dukes and the nobles agree to Shirley's request.

"No one wants my territory, so why do so many people attack me? Duke Stugalbo, tell me, why, my father was killed because of bandits, and I, a little girl, had to carry The flag of the family, but, look at me, has there been a time of peace during this period of time. You said that no one wants it, but how many of you, and the nobles you agitated, didn't extend their greed to me? Inside the territory."

The more he talked, the more wronged he was, the red eye circles made people feel distressed. At this time, many nobles remembered that this little girl had only inherited the title of earl for more than a year.But in just one year, this girl has grown to the point where most of them can't match her.

But how did she develop to this level? Thinking about it carefully, except for the North Strike Orcs who attacked her actively, others attacked her, so she had to choose to fight back in self-defense.No wonder she felt aggrieved after listening to Duke Stugalbo's words.

"That's right, my lord duke, it's too much for you to say that. Who attacked Earl Shirley first, and who launched a sneak attack on her relentlessly. Now you say that no one wants the northern territory, but Xue Li What about Earl Li, isn't she the lord of the northern border?"

Nima, there is salt in Shirley's territory, a large amount of refined salt, can it be the same as the general lord, but can he say this?Didn't it mean that the nobles who attacked Shirley for the refined salt were dragged into the water together?

"Earl Shirley's territory is not just in the north, before her..."

"How was she before, father, if I remember correctly, the Phoenix family was entrusted to Aalborg, it is surrounded by mountains, the plains are small, and the people are even more impoverished. In the first few years, their food It all depends on the supply from the imperial capital. At that time, no nobleman was willing to go there to take up the post of lord, and finally, Lord Phoenix was selected from the guards to take up the post."

"Why, it's only been a few years, and the Duke of Stugalbo has changed his mind?"

What happened in Aalborg, in just a few years, many nobles are still alive. At this time, you Duke Stugalbo said that Shirley’s territory is not only Aalborg, so you have to talk about it, her territory is not only Aalborg Fort, where else is there.

The princess with a cold brow was clearly trying to protect her sister, but what she said was perfectly fine. From the beginning, Shirley was Aalborg, that poor and poor territory.But it was also there that a countess who is now dominating the northern border came out.

"Her territory also includes the Earl of Ordos. Could it be that you all forgot, and she also occupied it..."

"Oh, it's nonsense. What do you mean, I shouldn't occupy those territories, so you came to attack me? You even attacked me? When can you, a duke, come to make decisions for me as an earl?"

Shirley is an earl that only belongs to the royal family. Your duke can manage the nobles that you have sealed off, but you can't control her.

"Shirley Ling Phoenix..."

"Well, I'm listening, what do you want to say, oh, yes, there is something I have always wanted to tell you, now I am a knife and you are fish and meat, I have the final say on what you want, if you are not convinced, then Come on the battlefield and see whose words are the truth."

His nails were firmly pierced into the flesh, his eyes were wide open, he wanted to be angry, he wanted to turn around in anger, and then said forcefully to those who were watching the joke and the person who had been suppressing him all this time, " Just hit, I'm afraid you won't succeed."

However, he didn't dare anymore. When Aalborg's troops attacked the orcs in the north, he failed to win the sneak attack. Now, when she has the ability to return from the north, will she fight again?If you make trouble, the territory will be gone if you fight again.A duke without a land, he has no wealth to speak of.

"Phoenix..."

"Ok?"

"Okay, you're fine, I'll pay the compensation, but I don't have that much money, and all my money is in the castle in Franklin City."

"I know, so I didn't ask you to pay the full amount right away. How about paying [-] first, and paying it off in the next ten years, but it will have interest."

The plain white index finger was erected in front of the cute smiling face, and it also swayed playfully from side to side a few times.

"I don't want the territory anymore, but I have a request, that is, you can't take the initiative to attack me again in the next three years."

The translation of this sentence means that I admit it, I can give money, but within three years, you can no longer take the initiative to attack my territory.We both enter the water and do not violate the river water.

This was a disguised form for Shirley to sign a non-aggression pact with him. Although he paid a huge price, he was finally able to buy him time to develop and recover.

"Actively attack? As long as you keep yourself safe and don't bother me anymore, I will naturally not attack your territory."

Up to now, Shirley actually doesn't have to continue in the northern border. If she continues to fight, she will probably take the position of King Fafnir III, but she doesn't want to. The emperor has always been sincere to her. She is not a person with a heart of stone, and she is not the kind of power official who usurps power without conscience, so she turned her attention to the northern border, the territory of the orcs.

Seeing that his wealth and territory were handed over to the enemy one after another in this treaty, although Stugalbo was furious, he still endured it firmly.Take out your pen and sign your name on these treaties.Before leaving, he almost forgot to take his pen with him.

After the contract was signed, Adalia looked at Shirley who was smiling happily and complacently, and she was in a trance for a while. The little girl who was in her arms and had to tell her a story before she could fall asleep, Has it grown so much now?

Even his two elder brothers wished to drag her into his camp. At the same time, they frowned. Those people would not be uncertain on the battlefield and just want to do crooked ways.No, I still have to check for her.

Orc Raiders: Chapter 40 Simple daily life in the imperial capital (two chapters published together)

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

"Finally the negotiations are settled. There is nothing to do now, and it's time to think about going back. I don't know what happened to Zhuge Liang and the others in the north. Have they absorbed and merged the occupied territories now?"

He took out the warm inner lining from his bosom, put the inner lining mixed with his own body temperature under Fuya's dexterous hands, and put it on for his young lady smoothly. The arrangement said: "Miss, although the negotiations have ended today, we still have to meet some allies. Her Royal Highness also invited us, saying that she wants to go to a musical with us."

"Huh? Musical? Tonight?"

When it comes to musicals, Xueli is a little curious. Although she came to the imperial capital before, she has only seen musicals once or twice. For the lack of entertainment here, musicals are a good way of pastime. After that, she can only watch musicals. After reading the novel, I drank tea with Fuya.She has never been good at shopping or anything like that.

So when she heard that Princess Adalia was going to take her to a musical, she was really a little happy.

"It's not evening, it's afternoon, Miss. Tonight, His Majesty will specially prepare a dinner for you. It's said to be a family banquet, but it's actually a celebration banquet to celebrate your victory over the Northern Orcs and the northern Principality of Friedland."

"Well, that's right. This time, I've troubled His Majesty a bit. He insisted on not allowing other nobles to participate in it. Although those people would not be able to change the situation of the battle even if they joined, it was also His Majesty's wish."

The reason for not wanting to continue to expand here is also because of this. No matter how exaggerated he was in the northern border, Fafnir III did not show any fear, but always treated her as one of his own. How could she turn herself into a twenty-five boy?

"Miss, do you need to call a car to go to the Duke of Belize? Today is a little tight. If you go to the Duke of Belize, there will be no problem even if you don't visit other earls."

After all, my lady has a very good relationship with the nobles of the Duke of Belize. As long as she sees the Duke of Belize, other nobles can stop visiting. Moreover, with the current wealth of the lady, she is not a duke, and she does not need to meet. .

Shaking her head left and right, she looked at the lady's hair she just combed for herself, and the already cute little face made her look even cuter.

He got in the carriage and arrived at the Duke of Belize, but he didn’t say anything. He just added some cloth and candy business besides the refined salt business. These are also huge profits. The only problem is steel, snow, etc. Li's steel factory will be built in the northern continent in the future. At that time, there will be a lot of fine steel, and the weapons will naturally be upgraded by several levels.

Shirley didn't know for a while whether she needed to sell fine steel or even weapons made of fine steel.

After coming out of the Duke of Belize, Shirley rushed to Princess Adalia's mansion non-stop. She would have lunch with the princess, and after a short rest, she would go to the opera house of the imperial capital to watch the newly rehearsed song and dance there.

It is said that it is a story about a new hero of the human race. It is a very inspirational and passionate story, so she herself will look forward to it very much.

"Yo, little girl, you are finally here."

As soon as she got out of the carriage, Adalia couldn't wait to hug her out of the car. Her slender arms gently wrapped around Adalia's jade-like neck until her feet fell to the ground, and her tense body was loosened. Only then did she relax a little bit from her nervous mood.But the temperature on her cheeks still told her that her face was probably already flushed at this moment.

"Princess Sister, I'm already an adult, so I don't need to hug you like this, I can come down by myself."

"Tsk tsk, that's embarrassing. I didn't expect that Earl Shirley, who is dominating the northern border and suppressing the Duchy of Friedland, is such a shy little girl."

It was Landiris who spoke, and there was a happy smile on the corner of her lips. There was no way, this little girl became more and more cute. When she said it, the blush on her face became thicker again.

"What's the matter? Shirley is young. Also, what are you doing here? Didn't you agree? Is Shirley eating at my house at noon today? What are you doing here?"

He looked at his friend Landiris with a look of disgust. If he didn't know, he would think that the two had some kind of deep hatred.Landiris had a look of surprise on her face.

"Yeah, a few days ago, I didn't know who asked me to accompany her to work in Huangzhuang. Every night, I muttered something in my mouth... Let me think about it..."

"Please be sure to stay and eat. Today I have someone prepare your favorite honey grilled chicken steak."

The resolute lips curled up slightly in Adalia's words, and then continued: "Since Her Royal Highness invites you so sincerely, if I don't participate, I don't know how to appreciate it."

"I want you to be incompetent." He glanced at his friend angrily, pouted his mouth, and then took Shirley with one hand and Landiris with the other, and the three of them walked through the gate of the mansion together and entered the mansion .

"Count Shirley, you now have a large piece of territory in the northern continent. According to the behavior of the orcs, I am afraid that they will organize a bigger counterattack soon, especially since winter is coming soon, and they must go south. If so. . . ”

"I said, today is my treat. On such a good day, can't you not talk about military affairs?"

As soon as she sat down, before the food was served, Landiris couldn't help asking Shirley about the situation in the Northern Continent. As winter was approaching, the orcs from the Northern Continent would inevitably go south to invade the human territory.

However, this year there is a big problem, that is, the human race has established a large territory in the northern continent. If they invade south, the problem will come. How to fight, bypass Shirley's territory in the northern continent, and go directly to Fife The northern border of the Nier Empire?Are you kidding, they are not afraid of hitting Shirley's territory, and then being blasted?

Even if they won a few battles at the beginning, once Shirley's navy blocked the sea, all the orcs who came to the empire would die, and none of them could escape.If you want to attack the territory, then don't go south here this year.

嗯?突然间,兰蒂瑞丝福至心灵,看到雪莉微笑的对她点点头,立刻明加*}1*-0=-1+=7*4+5一-零%①/~⑦~④|五#%酒-④/⑨&⑧{{9{4|}记=号>-7>|29&⑦#+二/三/〇/8七=二%③*零白了, 记{号#=3<4这丫头为什群/<1{|0<1}|7}4-/5<#9}4->9#{8么会选择秋季北击兽人,这是要把兽人按在家里,不让他们冬季再踏足北境啊。

"Little girl, good plan, good plan." Couldn't help giving a thumbs up to the little girl sitting opposite him.

Adalia: "??? What are you talking about? Why can't I understand a word? Why is Shirley so good at planning?"

"You, just practice your marksmanship honestly. For the rest, in the future, you should listen to Shirley more, so as not to be sold and count the money."

Seeing Princess Adalia who was still confused, Landiris couldn't help but burst out laughing. Most of the time, this girl can understand a little bit, but when she doesn't click, she will be puzzled .The bewildered appearance, coupled with the temperament of the original princess, added an alluring cuteness to her.

"Just laugh, laugh, see if I'll let you get the food today."

Facing this friend who had just suffocated her laughter until the end, Adalia snorted and said threateningly, but Shirley couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"You two, really, when did you stand on the same line?"

"No, it's just that Elder Sister Adalia was too cute just now, I couldn't help it." Shirley, who couldn't help laughing because of Adalia's rare coquettish look, explained repeatedly, but it's okay if she doesn't explain, After explaining it, Adalia finally couldn't bear it, and shot immediately.

The thumb and forefinger gently pinched Shirley's cheek, which didn't hurt her, but they were able to pinch her cute little face.

"Laugh, laugh, let you laugh, turn around and don't care about your food."

"Hey, my sister can't bear to take care of my food."

The little girl who opened one eye and closed one eye, stuck her tongue out of her lips when her face was pinched, trying to get away with it, was finally let go.

"You, you know such rogue tricks. Forget it, eat lunch first, take a break later and go to the musical. Today is the latest rehearsal and the first public performance. Please. I also bought a VIP ticket from someone."

There is no way, there are too many nobles in the imperial capital, and too many boring people, so the premiere of this kind of song and dance drama will attract many nobles to participate, which makes it hard to get a ticket at this time.Even the royal family has no privileges at this time.

Fried chicken steak with honey sauce, grilled chicken with apples, beetroot soup, served with some white bread, and the drink with the meal was freshly squeezed juice. The princess's lunch was not luxurious, but it was far better than ordinary people's.

After eating and drinking enough, the rest of the time is to rest, but the problem lies here. The three of them talked too much while eating, and the time was wasted on eating. If they rest at this time, then I can't catch up with the opening of the musical. If you don't watch the opening and start watching from the middle, no one can guarantee whether you can understand the subsequent plot.

There was no other way, Adalia had no choice but to get the carriage ready and take Shirley and Landiris with her to the song and dance theater in the business district as fast as she could.

Although there is still time, the closer the song and dance theater is, the more carriages there are. Many nobles also choose this time to go to the song and dance theater to watch the song and dance drama.

On the street, a carriage moved slowly, completely oblivious to the carriage with the royal logo that was getting closer and closer to them.Two men dressed as aristocrats in the car were talking in a low voice.

"You said you were beaten by the princess for flirting with women? No, you're so cowardly. Look back and see that I'll help you vent your anger."

"That's the princess, you're making trouble for the princess, aren't you making trouble for the family?"

"If you say you are cowardly, you are really cowardly. My father is the real power earl of the local area and owns seven earldoms. Princess, what is so terrible about a princess. Now in the empire, the most terrifying thing is not the princess, but the The little lords of the North. That's the scariest thing."

Speaking of this, the nobleman with a pair of peach blossom eyes said with a proud expression on his face: "The earl who defeated the Principality of Friedland and dominated the northern border, let alone a princess, even a prince faced her When you do, you have to be polite."

"Master, there is a royal carriage behind, shall we give way?"

"Royal carriage? Let me take a look, huh? Aha, just right, that carriage is the princess's carriage, why not, go slowly. There is still enough time, let's go slowly."

Hey, just don't give way, just don't speed up, just play, this noble man is bragging with his embarrassed companion, while looking at the carriage behind him, also driving at a very slow speed, just looking joy.

I knew that the speed of the carriage was very slow, but Xue Li and the others were not in a hurry, and just continued chatting in the carriage, as long as they could enter the venue on time anyway.

It was also because Shirley was so calm that Adalia didn't jump up and rush to the front, throwing the carriage in front of her.

The road wasn't too long, and we arrived at the opera house soon. The peach-eyed man had just stepped off the carriage when he saw his father and mother waiting for him at the entrance. He raised his eyebrows with his friends and was about to leave when he saw In the carriage behind, three beautiful women, two big and one small, slowly stepped down.

One is the well-known beautiful general Landiris in the current imperial capital, and the other is the only Royal Highness Princess of the current royal family. However, it is nothing to him, a nobleman with a background, but that little one, but It's not that simple.
