Tales of the Reincarnated Lord Chapter 436: Moonlight

Chapter 436 Moonlight Stone

Looking at the back of Count Chukiwyke riding with two attendants on horseback, Grand Duke Fisablen finally opened his mouth: "Is it okay to refuse their request?"

Lorist laughed out loud: "Okay, don't pretend to be with me. Did you call me in such an anxiety because you were embarrassed to refuse because of your affection and refused to make me a wicked person? In your own heart I also understand that this Count Chukiwyke nominally came to ask us what we think about the requirements of the four central Grand Duke(s)s and ask us to help them speak. In fact, we are not just trying to detect whether we are also facing the shortage of armaments and supplies. I want to figure out what is true and false, and see if Second Highness is determined to die with them to the end. "

Fisablen shook his head with a smile and did not deny the Lorist statement: "Do you know, I arranged Count Chukiwyke to your camp and hosted a banquet. In the face of those dishes cooked with magical beast meat, he ate I was taken aback and said it was too extravagant. When I told him that these are just the usual meat, even the soldier(s) can enjoy it, he didn't believe it, and then I took him around the camp and saw that the soldier(s) were smoking meat He was speechless when he did it, and then urgently asked me to agree with his Majesty for them, and I couldn't quit, so I came to you.

"Obviously, their arms supply is a bit tight, maybe already has started to be limited." Of course Lorist understands the meaning of Grand Duke Fisablen's discourse: "So the 400,000 army mentioned by Count Chukiwyke may be true, but it can eat 4-5 The grain supplies in the year of the year must be false, otherwise he would not be flattered by the richness of the dishes. As for saying that he received the strong support of Trade Union, I suspect it is also false. Otherwise, they would not be able to propose conditions to actively sum up. "

"But the conditions they proposed are too insincere, how can such conditions be expected from Second Highness? The first to restore the pre-war situation of Central Four Dukedom is to want Second Highness to withdraw from the eight provinces occupied by already. This is fundamental. Impossible. "Grand Duke Fisablen countered," I think they want to make peace is just an excuse. The biggest possibility is that you are too loud on the other side of the river to cause them to worry. If we really build a road on the demon, pointing to Germany Rama Province, that was indeed their defensive weakness. Even if they received strong assistance from Trade Union, if they want to defend the Nibaraku River in Drama's riverside area, they do n’t know how many defensive forces to deploy, That ’s why I sent someone to listen to the truth. ”

"Perhaps." Lorist thought: "I think the four Grand Duke(s)s in the central area may think of us like them. If they have insufficient arms supply, they will probably guess that we are in the same dilemma with them. Although there are fewer horses than them It ’s 100,000, but our Territory is far away, and the transportation of supplies is difficult. They think that the three Dukedom eight provinces that belong to the newly occupied area will not be available to us in two or three years. I do n’t know that His Majesty already conducted eight provinces. Clean up and manage it effectively.

Also, you have recruited a large number of artisans to build ships on the upper reaches of the Nibaraku River, and I say with great fanfare that we will build roads in Moyuan. According to the general view, we are unable to provide such a large amount of food and grass supplies. It is very likely that the four Grand Duke(s)s in the middle think that we are in a bluff, so we specially sent Count Chukiwyke to investigate. That's why Count Chukiwyke found that we had enough supplies and quickly changed their lives to ask us to help them to sum up.

Unfortunately, the conditions proposed by the four Grand Duke(s)s in the central part are that they believe that we are in the same situation as they are facing the shortage of armament logistics supplies, and they regard themselves as equal opponents with us. These conditions are: Ladder for our Her Majesty to ride a difficult tiger, so that Her Majesty has a step to go down. In addition, these conditions are just sky-high prices. If we really want to talk, we can pay the money on the spot. Just to test whether we really want to have peace talks, so I rejected them ... "

Grand Duke Fisablen nodded: "Your inference is very reasonable, but I think it is better to drag them, we can talk and fight, and then check from their messengers to see if the situation inside Handra Dukedom can still be maintained. Go on ... "

"It's not necessary." Lorist rejected Grand Duke Fisablen's suggestion: "Since Count Chukiwyke already found that our logistical armament supply was more sufficient than them, plus we resolutely rejected the request to help them to make peace with His Majesty. , Then Count Chukiwyke returns a report, the four Grand Duke(s) in the middle will be in a dilemma,

Continuing the formation of the new Legion defense along the river will only make their arms supply more tight. Without formation, they are afraid that we will actually cross the river and invade the hinterland of Drama Province. And I resolutely reject Count Chukiwyke's request for us to help them to make peace with His Majesty, which will make them understand His Majesty's determination to perish the Central Four Dukedom. Therefore, the next time they send a messenger to come, the conditions will be relaxed and the attitude will be more humorous. "

Grand Duke Fisablen Yiyi: "Do you think they will send messengers to come to peace?"

Lorist nodded: "It should, they have no choice. While they still have the money at hand, they can bargain with His Majesty, otherwise they will be left with two options: extinction or escape. If If they know each other, we can help them to say a few words. After all, we don't have that much time to stay here for a few years and they have been deadlocked.

"Why, don't you say that they have insufficient arms supply? By this estimate, they should not be able to hold on for much longer." Grand Duke Fisablen said.

"No ..." Lorist smiled bitterly: "I miscalculated one thing. The four Grand Duke(s)s in the middle have more wealth in our hands than we think. You are not listening to Count Chukiwyke saying that they are willing to give a sum of two hundred to His Majesty. gold fordes donation? Also say that if we help them, each person will receive a thank you 500,000 gold fordes.

I estimate that these three million gold fordess are only one-third or one-fourth of their wealth, otherwise they would not make such a price. If they choose to flee, these wealth will be enough for them to spend a lot of time in Trade Union. Similarly, if they choose to fight to the end, these three million can buy enough Trade Union from their 400,000 army and insist on one or two years of grain and other armament supplies ...

For His Majesty, as long as he can destroy the Central Four Dukedom, it doesn't matter if it is two or three years away. Now the Forund Duchy and Fakir Dukedom five provinces already under his jurisdiction have cleared the Territory Aristocrat(s) forces that follow the two Grand Duke(s)s, and they are effective. Administration. The three provinces of Shabaj Duchy are also recovering their vitality, and everything has been incorporated into on the right track. So it doesn't matter how long your Majesty is, but do we really want to stay here for two or three years? "

Grand Duke Fisablen is dumb, Lorist is very unwilling to say this, and promised Second Highness to help him fight in the central four Dukedom. It does n’t matter if it takes about a year or so, but it ’s really two or three years longer than the Second Highness promised postwar reward. , That's really a loss at home. Keeping promises is the virtue of Aristocrat(s), Lorist cannot always leave halfway.

Seeing that the three Dukedoms are gone, there is only one Handra Dukedom left here. Lorist is reluctant to waste all these years on the battle. It is better to retreat to the family Territory earlier than stay here. It would be great if we could let the four central Grand Duke(s)s surrender to Second Highness.

"By the way, when is Sylvia's due date?" Grand Duke Fisablen shifted the topic.

"It should be around January in the new year." Lorist replied.

"When are you going back?" Grand Duke Fisablen asked.

"December." Lorist gritted his teeth: "I'm going to take a defensive position before I leave, and put some pressure on the four old bastards, forcing them to send an envoy to negotiate with your Majesty earlier. Otherwise, I'm really welcome ... "

To tell the truth, Lorist promised Second Highness to fight the middle four Dukedom really did not use the fighting power of the family armed forces, but everything is to avoid casualties, and then take a small advantage by the way. It is mainly because he feels that it is a loss to sacrifice his family's armed forces for the sake of Second Highness unifying Empire's career. Just look at the old fox Grand Duke Fisablen. You know that there are dangerous things to prepare for Legion. Anyway, there are supplements on the grassland that the grass cavalry died, and the third frontier ranger Legion has been staying behind to watch the show.

"Yes, but isn't it winter in December, how can you still capture the defensive position when the snow is freezing and freezing?"

Lorist rolled his eyes: "Okay, don't pretend, old guy. Isn't your third frontier cruiser Legion surrendered by us in winter? The truth tells you that winter is not winter for us Norton Family armed forces didn't matter much, but it was a good time for us to show our skills. At that time, you can see for yourself how we defeated the defensive position. "

Grand Duke Fisablen smiled a little awkwardly: "Well, I'll see you when I get there. But aren't you worried about the trip you missed? Sylvia is the first production, you are not with her, I worry she will be in danger."

"Do n’t worry, I wrote to already as soon as possible to tell her that I would be there before production. As long as there are a few heavy snowfalls and using a snow sledge, I can get back up to three or four days. Six days. "

"Well, can I go back with you then? I know Sylvia has misunderstood me, but after all, she is my own granddaughter, and I also want to see her first child ... Grand Duke Fisablen bowed his head a little ashamedly.

The Lorist momentarily felt a little funny, "OK, you can go if you want. We can go back together at that time."

Grand Duke Fisablen overjoyed: "So, thank you, Your Highness Norton Grand Duke(s)."

Lorist looked at him and sighed: "In private, you can call me Lorist. You are the grandfather of Sylvia and my elder. It is not necessary to formally call my title ..."

"Well, thank you, Lorist." Grand Duke Fisablen is good at everything.

"You're welcome. By the way, this is the harvest on the demon. You can divide it into one third according to the agreement." Lorist remembered something, took out a small leather bag around him and threw it to him.

"What's this?" Grand Duke Fisablen opened the bag and poured out a dozen elliptical pebbles that were as warm as jade and white.

Grand Duke Fisablen was taken aback: "Moonlight Stone?"

This is a well-known gem on Grindia Continent. Some scholars believe that it should be a fluorescent stone and that it should be a variant of jade. That is, the jade fell on the stream beach and was washed away by the stream to form a cobblestone. At the same time, it was illuminated by moonlight for hundreds of years or thousands of years. These jade stones will glow with white fluorescence, like a star.

It is said that Romon Empire, the southernmost part of Grindia Continent, has a very famous palace. The moonstone is inlaid around the zenith inside the palace. Every night, as long as a candle is lit in the middle of the palace, those moonlight stones will The light reflecting the candlelight emits white fluorescence, making the entire palace as bright as day. This palace was also named the Palace of the Moon.

The value of Moonstone is also very different due to the brightness of the white fluorescence it emits. The high-energy value is thousands to 10,000 gold fordes, and the low-value is also worth a dozen gold coin(s). Moonstones worth about one to one thousand are common in the market. Lorist to Grand Duke Fisablen in this small bag of more than a dozen moonstones, are all top grade, one is worth more than a thousand gold fordes.

"Where did it come from?" Grand Duke Fisablen asked while playing with the moonstone.

Lorist turned his head to the direction of Moyuan and signaled: "Your grass brutal cavalry is very lucky, hunting a group of pan-horned antelopes there and found a large stream beach. Nothing unusual during the day, but at night At that time, the entire brook was a silver light. They thought that a miracle had occurred, and they all dismissed their horses and bowed their heads.

When I received their report, I knew that they had discovered the Moonstone Treasure Land, so they collected nearly a thousand moonstones, and the valuation should be worth 6.7 million gold fordes. Rest assured, I have one third of you. Now that I have signed the cooperation agreement, I will abide by it. Don't worry about me swallowing it alone. These are the best moonstones, and I'll give you one of three as well. As for the grass cavalry who found that creek, I have rewarded them for you already, five gold fordes per person. "

Grand Duke Fisablen is speechless. This is a matter of knowledge. The cavalry cavalry discovered Moonlight Stone Creek Beach. They thought it was a miracle and didn't dare to offend. When Lorist received the report, he knew that he had found the treasure, collected nearly a thousand moonstones, and made a lot of money. It is no wonder that this guy stayed in the Moyuan Siege and did not want to return.

I thought about putting the moonstone in the hand of Grand Duke Fisablen back into the small bag, and handed it to Lorist: "Let ’s do it. After Sylvia has a child, you will decorate the house with these moonstones, so you do n’t need it at night. Too many open flames to avoid causing a fire ... "

Lorist is also gone. Take it back and put it back in the original pocket: "Okay, I'll take your love too."

Grindia Continent common calendar On December 21, 1782, the Norton Family armed forces Flying Tiger Legion made a surprise attack on the Weilongni Mountain Pass defensive position under the cover of snow flakes and defeated the defending Handra Dukedom Red Dragon Legion in one fell swoop. Most of the casualties of Hongguang Legion, the surviving troops retreated to the second defensive position was spared. At this time, it was discovered that the soldier(s) that had retreated returned was ten or four. Rush to the rear for help.

At the same time, because the Weilongi Pass was occupied, both flank defensive positions were threatened by assaults. Forund Duchy's first defensive Legion and Fakker Dukedom's Green Forest Legion had to abandon their positions and retreat. There were countless freezes and deaths on the way . Green Forest Legion ransacked and set fire to more than a dozen villages and towns along the way in order to implement Faker ’s Grand Duke(s) so-called strong wall and clear field order, killing more than 30,000 Handra Dukedom leaders and burying Handra Grand Duke(s) and Fak The introduction of Grand Duke(s) fire and ...
