Power and Empire: Six Hundred Twenty-Eight Armistice Agreement

628 Apprentice Agreement

The silver moonlight was swaying and soft, reflecting on Palschenna's dreamlike and beautiful face, and the fat man couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Today, Palschenna didn’t wear the long, wrap-around priest’s robe, but a pale white long gauze skirt. The night breeze was blowing, and a pair of jade-like long legs were faintly visible, although it was only very casual. Wrapped in her body, but it is enough to show the mature and fatal attractiveness of a woman,

It’s just that the look on his face is a little weird, even if it looks very gentle, it’s the kind of strong and quiet awe-inspiring, which makes the fat man have an ominous premonition in his heart

"But what's wrong with Nile's Northern Army?" Fatty Ting's restless hand, breathed a sigh in her ear when Palsqina was shy and patient, and suddenly asked in a low voice.

How did you know? "Parskina's red face was stunned, staring at the fat man with amazement. This is a question that has been circling in her heart. Since the fat man came in, she wanted to say it, but she couldn't find it. The right opportunity, I didn’t expect the fat man to see through his mind at a glance

"It's nothing surprising. According to our intelligence, the fat man said with a smile." With the increase in the number of the Northern Army, the aristocrats of the North and the South seem to get along poorly. Although it is known as the Northern Army, most of the soldiers are from the South. People are more inclined to the command of the southern nobles. As the leader of the northerners, I am afraid that sometimes it is very difficult."

By the time Palschena was still amazed, the fat man’s thief hands quietly put on Palschena’s unbearable waistline, and it was as smooth as silk as expected. ,

The fat man’s gaze crossed Palschenna’s white shoulders, and a pair of trembling snow-white hemispheres could almost be seen from the loose chest. Perhaps there was no underwear restraint inside, so he looked particularly active. Inadvertent trembling can make a man lustful,

"Yes, now the northern part of the Army has become the North and South factions." Palsqina frowned, she didn't seem to notice the obnoxious look of the fat man's dark Chen Cang,

Or deliberately pretending not to see, anyway, the fat man had already seen it all once. Palschenna whispered, "It is different from the requirements of the northern faction to stabilize the sphere of influence and expand the trade with Wikiah. The southern faction seems to be able to take down Kyoto, and then take advantage of the momentum to move south to regain the lost ground. As for the Vijaya army as a third party, the southern faction believes that the affairs of the Salander must be decided by the Salander and the Vijaya should withdraw unconditionally. Going to Nilai as a mediator between the two factions, many things cannot be resolved. This time she specially asked me to come, just to send you a message "

"What's the message?" The fat man raised his eyebrows, and a pair of bright eyes flashed with anger. "As my woman, do I need someone else to talk? It seems that she can't believe me."

It’s like this." It’s the first time Palschenna saw a fat man angry. The fat man now is not Marquis Victorse, but the overlord who dominates the big six. She turned pale with fright and quickly explained." Nilai said that your identity is special, and any decision may lead to the fate of several kingdoms. Her unauthorized request may affect the interests of Vicia. Instead of being embarrassed by your scolding, let me take a look. Anyway, you You won’t even scold me too"

"Ah ♀what a thing..."

The fat man heard a moment of speechlessness, and Palschenna’s words sounded like she was acting like a baby. He looked at the fat man with a surprised look, and just now he was stern in the sky and sacrificed to Palschenna. Cover your mouth with a smile

"Nilai wants you to make peace with the Kyoto disciples." Palschena raised her head cautiously with some hesitation, her eyes flickering and said, "Nila feels that if the Northern Army now invades Kyoto, it will not be a good thing. Instead, it may lead to a series of terrible consequences"

"Oh, why do you think so?" The fat man looked dignified. It is a bit of a loss to make peace with Kyoto. It will take a year or a half for a year and a half. It is best to squeeze Kyoto's wealth.

Parschenna's face was a little ugly, her voice paused, and she continued, "With the smooth march of the Northern Army, the Southern faction, which accounts for the majority of the Northern Army, has been dazzled by hatred and arrogance.

They completely forgot that it was the Vicia army that defeated Sarand Kyoto, but blindly optimistic that now is the time when the southerners are most powerful. They continue to gather refugees in the name of regaining lost land in the name of jihad, and the number has already passed. The northerners are more than twice as much ≈not only clamoring to capture Kyoto to regain the south, but also secretly connected a part of the original northern army generals, and made an agreement to expel the Vijaya army.

This is a sign that Nilai won’t let the northerners get involved in this storm. Moreover, the Grand Duke is her favorite person. Even if she died, she couldn’t agree to this but suddenly asked the Grand Duke and Kyoto. She only makes peace, she really can’t say it "

"This silly girl..." The fat man embraced Palschenna with a pale face affectionately, and kissed gently on her smooth forehead. "Did she not see it yet," I have no plans to fight Sarand Kyoto at all,

As for the North-South dispute, I am even more uninterested. The reason why I fought against Salander Kyoto is because I promised to give her a prosperous and prosperous north. Now she wants to take the northerners back, but I am not It will stop it, but it will also let the navy **** along the way, but it’s a pity to leave Kyoto just like this, it’s a good idea anyway."

It seems that the fat man said it was funny, Palschenna suddenly "poofed" and laughed out loud. "I didn't expect the Grand Duke to be such a man of affection and righteousness. When I came, I guessed it for a while. I don’t know what it means. Anyway, I am also a member of the negotiating team, so I can always send a message."

"10 million war compensation plus 4 counties along the central coast" The fat man stretched out 4 fingers indifferently. The fat man's words made Palschenna's beautiful face a little dim

"Well, is this a bit too much?" Palschenna said with an embarrassed face. "Although I don't know how much money the Salander royal family can pay, this year's war almost wiped out the entire treasury. This is something that the whole country knows. Otherwise, there is no need to take risks. They risked the war with Vijaya and assaulted the Northern Territory in order to eliminate the exhausted finances. Now they are required to pay 10 million in war compensation. It is true. Is an impossible thing"

"Old rules, for your face, I will give a discount. "The fat man looks faint and turns four fingers into one finger." If Kyoto can appoint you as the presiding priest of the Victor Sky Temple , I can reduce the war damages to 80 million gold coins"

"You..."

Parschenna's eyes are reddish, her shy chin, and her face flushed immediately. Although she knows that this condition is a bit too much, it also shows her value in the Wikia Falcon’s heart. It’s really shameful to preside over sacrificial offerings, and the falcon’s claws will never fail. This is a proverb that the entire Big Six knows.

The conditions for making peace were soon passed back to the negotiating team through a secret channel. With a trace of obscurity and helplessness, the convoy of the second Prince Salander escorted the goods slowly across a sloped mountain road.

Lightly lifted the curtain of the carriage, he was very attentive to everything outside the window of the car. This was the first time he had personally contacted the area controlled by the Vicia army. There were hundreds of boxes full of gold coins on the convoy, which made the whole convoy nervous to the extreme. A Mamunuk knight dressed as a shop assistant ran over and asked him in a low voice whether he needed to go through the front. Hilly trails, that trail looks a bit potholes and dense shrubs,

After watching carefully for a while, I just gave the order to move on. The road seems to have basically returned to normal, although the road is still a bit bumpy, compared to the large ruins outside Saletek in the morning. This is already a place full of vitality. Looking down from the mountain path, in the mountains or in the fields, farmers can work hard,

This was originally a very ordinary scene, but for the periphery of Kyoto, which has been abandoned for more than half a year, such a scene is so precious and rare. Compared with the large and idle northern army outside Saletke, it looks like this. Much more cute, at least there will be no greedy checkpoint soldiers, and there will be no cavalry that frightens others. With the withdrawal of the Vikeya regular army, the military discipline of the Northern Army is getting looser and half of the soldiers are temporary. The refugees gathered together will soon collapse from the inside without any pressure.

In many areas under the jurisdiction of Kyoto, the barrenness of the fields has become more and more serious. A large number of strong laborers have been forced to join the army and are constantly consumed on the battlefield. The massive loss of population in the central region has exacerbated this situation. Of course, the most important thing is that the most densely populated Françoise area in the central part and the coastal area in the north-central part have been occupied by the Vikians.

Because the road leading to the main road is already under the control of the Salander Northern Army, the convoy escorting the compensation can only detour through the François area to the transfer station. The Vijay troops along the way have been notified and will soon respond to him. The fleet will be released.

With the opportunity of slowly passing by the guard post, I carefully lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked from the inside to the outside. The soldiers stood neatly. They were wearing black light armor and holding sharp infantry lances.

In these long guns, a very interesting thing has just appeared. In each team of Vicia soldiers, there are always a few very long and weird long guns, which are very prominent in the long guns of about the same height. The ordinary spear grows one-third, and the sharp spear head protrudes from the left side with a sharp long blade.

This kind of weird spear aroused Fu's curiosity. Although he is not in contact with the army, he is naturally interested in the affairs of the army. There is also a training platform for exercises in his mansion.

This novel weapon, the Wichiya horizontal spear, is not shown in many countries, so I didn’t figure out what this extremely long weird spear was for a long time after recognizing it. It was a bit regretful. The marching carriage quickly passed through the front post. At this time, two patrol teams composed of 30 crossbowmen came from the opposite side. The metal crossbow behind their backs made the eyes of the person in the carriage bright

"Vickia Infantry Crossbow"

Looking at the familiar appearance, I slapped my thick lips meaningfully. The whole Big Six knew that the Vikia could rise in just a few years, and the powerful Vikia infantry crossbow was indispensable—what Wikki Will the fighting power of the runner-up be so strong?

From the perspective of the quality of the soldiers, he believes that whether it is the Swadian Kingdom that was defeated by Wichia, or the Kujit cavalry that traverses the grasslands, there are definitely many fighters that are better than Wichia infantry. The Kujites have a tradition of riding horses at the age of 3 and archery at the age of 4. Everyone, male and female, is a natural warrior

It's a pity. When they faced the Vicky Runner-up Megatron 6's army, they all became defeated by the Vicky's army without exception. In addition to the Vicky Falcon’s dreadful strategic layout ability, the Vicky Infantry The crossbow is also an important weapon for this falcon to shred its opponents.

In Fu’s collection room, there are three Vickia infantry crossbows that were purchased at a high price. Unfortunately, they are all beautiful and unusable. This has always made Fu feel sorry for the Vickia infantry that can be used in actual combat. There are few crossbows, and most of them are dilapidated goods. It is the first time that Prince Fu can come into contact with this weapon so close.

At noon, the convoy arrived at the transfer station Françotte, which is the control area of ​​the Vicia Army. After completing a series of handover procedures, the team slowly entered under the **** of a team of Vicia Cavalry. The harbor area in the city, from Françotte to the north is the destination

They will take a ship to the city of Buick Harto. For this compensation, the Salander royal family even took out the family property. In order to collect the money, all the wealthy people in Kyoto were interviewed by the royal family and promised. A series of honorable titles, these are 80 million "hard-earned money" of the Salander Kyoto nobles, which almost emptied the entire Salander Kyoto

The sound of the waves in the downtown area came from outside the carriage from time to time. I just saw that with the gradual return of the residents of François City, merchant ships from the northern region continued to dock, and the prosperity of François City was even more so. , The Vijaya army seems to be very loose in its rule here. There are almost no serious sentry on the street, even if there are some scattered soldiers, it looks more like a decoration

There is an endless stream of people everywhere. All the berths in the François City Wharf are booming. Most of them are unloaded, but some are loaded. Porters come and go like ants, carrying them on their shoulders. Large and small packages of supplies. The main items unloaded from the merchant ships were munitions and all kinds of daily necessities, while those moved on the merchant ships were mainly production materials such as ore and wood that were circulated through the city of François.

At noon, the sun is very good, and the shadow of the tall mast of the sailing boat is projected long on the pier of François City ÷ The sun is very good at noon, and the shadow of the tall mast of the sailing boat is long. Projected onto the pier in Françotte City.

A large and gorgeous merchant ship is waiting quietly in the open sea. The huge hull undulates with the waves. This ship is not much different from other merchant ships, but there is a very special flag hung on the top of the mast, a small blue welder that spreads its wings. Everyone knows this at first glance. Is the ship of the business alliance,

The port management department generally gives priority to this type of ship, but the ship has been digging outside the port until it sees a signal from the port

The springboard was placed on the trestle bridge, and a few big men in black came down first, and murderously controlled the location near the trestle bridge, dispelling the porters. ♀These big guys are basically burly, five-and-three-thirty, strong men, all of them ages. About thirty years old, they look fierce, and their bronze skin knows that they are the sailors who live on the water. They wear short black mail armor and show their strong arms. The sea breeze blows from time to time and occasionally shows them sticking in their waists. The arc-shaped long sword between.

Under their protection, a tall girl came down from a merchant ship. Coldly stepped on the wooden board of the trestle bridge, high heels nailed to the wooden board, a very clear voice, "Lang wears a red headscarf, is completely black, and the pure black skirt is neatly and neatly wrapped around her body, showing her slim figure. , And has always been glamorous and noble.

The girl in the black dress looked around on the pier and walked in the direction of Fu without hesitation. She looked at the girl in the black dress getting closer and closer with a heartbeat.

"His Royal Highness?" Socutus Delan first confirmed his identity with the other party, and then ordered someone to unload the hundreds of heavy boxes on the carriage, and after the count was completed, it was already afternoon.

After receiving a report from his subordinates, Socutus Delan shook hands with Fu symbolically

"Because this is a private transaction, the Grand Duke will not be heard. The goods will be sent to the destination by me along the escort. As for Your Highness, please go by Route 6"

"Why is this?" asked a little confused, "Don't we even have the qualifications to board a boat?"

"This is the meaning of the Grand Duke~IndoMTL.com~If His Royal Highness follows the fleet, it will only arouse the suspicion of the Salander Northern Army, and will cause unnecessary trouble at that time." Socutus Delan A cold face responded, "I believe His Highness should understand the hatred of the Northern Army. There is a long way from the port to the negotiation site. If something happens on the road, we are not responsible."

Mo's face was pale, and his heart trembled as he thought of the way the northern army gritted their teeth.

The merchant ship set sail in a wave of shaking, and the figure of Socutus Delan standing on the ship disappeared without a trace

The second prince of Salander looked at the back of Socutus Delan in a trance. Although he grew up in the blossoming Salander Kyoto, he was a prince of Salander from childhood. I know how many ladies and ladies I have seen,

But I have to admit that compared with the mysterious and glamorous black dress girl in front of me, the romantic and passionate Salander woman seems to lack something

Or that coldness, that pride. ..
