"Everyone obey the command and board the ship in order, we are the leaders of the Eternal Night, and we are here to take you home. ”

It was only at this time that the Commander of the Eternal Night officially explained the situation to these crocodile civilians.

"The Eternal Night Commander? ”

"We are saved, ours is really saved. ”

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

These crocodile civilians, who were dominated by hunger, reacted one after another at this time, looked at each other, and burst out into a frenzy.

"That's a long arc of reflection, isn't it?

"When your hungry legs and feet become weak, and when you see the fragrant vitality porridge, your IQ will also become negative, maybe even they are not as good as them!"

"No laughing, there are still countless people staring at us, complete the task as soon as possible, who knows if Akmesser will change his mind. ”

"Yes, sir. ”

As the Eternal Night leader guided the crocodile civilians to retreat, there were countless equally hungry green eyes on either side.

In addition to the elite troops dispatched by Akmesser to monitor the actions of the Eternal Night Leader, there are also hungry soldiers who are attracted by the smell of Genki porridge.

If it weren't for Akmaiser's elite army in front of him, I am afraid that it would have caused a riot long ago.

Akmaiser watched the whole process with a blank face, and his heart was surging.

From the small to the big, the planning and organization of the Eternal Night Army Leader have been integrated into their bones, and it seems that everything is arranged in an orderly manner, and if you are an opponent with such a force, you will be taken advantage of by the other party if you have a little loophole.

The failure of the Kingsley family's expedition to the east seems to be full of accidents, and they have suffered the loss of their pig teammates.

In fact, it's full of inevitability.

Compared with the crocodile civilians, the Eternal Night Leader was not so gentle with those mercenaries who were going to come as a leader, and directly asked the Kingsley family to help drive them to the shore, load them on a ship and transport them to the north bank of the Bashu River, and temporarily imprisoned them.

After the completion of this transaction, the negotiations between the Eternal Night Army Leader and the Kingsley family are really on the right track.

"We can release all the soldiers trapped on the east coast of the Grand Duke, but the Grand Duke needs to agree to a few conditions. Sean directly opened the conditions.

"Please. ”

"First, all the troops of the Kingsley family will be withdrawn to twenty kilometers west of the Criminals Alliance, and all the cities of the Criminals Alliance will be handed over to the Eternal Night Army. ”

"Second?"

"In the second article, the Kingsley soldiers in Brother Harbor were disarmed and disarmoured on the spot, and the weapons and equipment were placed at the disposal of the Eternal Night Commander, who was responsible for transporting the personnel back to the Carthusian Commandery. ”

"Third?"

"Third, the Kingsley family contributed 80 million royal gold war reparations as the start-up capital for the crocodile people to rebuild their homeland. ”

"And the fourth?"

"That's all. ”

"That's all?" said Archduke Buck, looking at Sean with a sneering expression, "I thought His Excellency the Baron would let me give up the position of Grand Duke of Carthus." ”

Sean said righteously: "I'm not such a greedy person, we will definitely not encroach on half an inch of the Kingsley family's original land." ”

"Not so greedy?" Archduke Buck sneered even more, "I have never seen anyone more greedy than His Excellency the Baron. ”

Sean's skin has long been thicker than the city walls, and it will not be affected by Archduke Buck's attitude at all, "So the Archduke has objections to our conditions?"

"There are more objections? Grand Duke Buck restrained his personal emotions and said with a solemn expression, "Let us speak one by one." ”

"First, let our army withdraw to twenty kilometers west of the Criminals Alliance, which contradicts what Your Excellency just said, not encroaching on the original half inch of the Kingsley family's land, the so-called Criminals Alliance is nothing more than a group of bandits who occupy the mountains as kings, and those towns are actually established by the knights canonized by the Kingsley family, and they are originally the inherent land of the Kingsley family. ”

"Wait?" Sean made a pause gesture and interrupted Grand Duke Buck: "These towns were originally established by the knights canonized by the Kingsley family, but they are all pioneer knights, and they have invaded the desperate swamp land, if according to the theory of His Excellency the Grand Duke, our pioneer knights canonized by the Eternal Night Army will establish a town in the Carthusian military territory, and this town will become the existing land of the Eternal Night Army Lord?

"Your Excellency's analogy is not appropriate, the knights who founded these towns were the pioneer knights, but they occupied the borderlands, and at that time the Swamp of Despair was not part of the Byron Alliance, and the Eternal Night Lords had not yet been formed. Grand Duke Buck replied in a clear manner.

"What we are discussing here is not a historical issue, but the sovereignty of the crocodile people in the Desperate Swamp, Your Excellency just said that those pioneer knights occupy the borderland, but that is in the eyes of the Kingsley family, there is no real borderland in this world, their original owners are the crocodiles, the eternal night army leader has integrated the crocodiles, and they have the right to receive all the relevant rights and interests of the crocodiles, if it is really traced back to history, the Kingsley family is afraid that there is no advantage, right? According to historical records, the Kingsley family was only a viscount family of the ancient Andis Empire, and its territory was only a hundred kilometers away. ”

Grand Duke Barr's face darkened, and he couldn't help but say angrily: "You are sophistry, let's talk about the current matter, what is Your Excellency talking about the Ancient Andis Empire?"

Sean spread his hands and said with an innocent face: "Just now the Grand Duke was talking about historical issues, so I just analyzed it from a historical perspective." ”

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

"There was a half-hour intermission. Princess Regent, Sophia, who was a witness to the negotiations, came forward.

Seeing that Archduke Buck was walking away, Sophia and Sean whispered: "I didn't expect the baron's appetite to be so big, so I'm not afraid to scare our Grand Duke away?"

"The believer who runs away can't run to the church, 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 His Excellency the Grand Duke has the courage to break the net?" Sean, who held the more than 100,000 army of the Kingsley family in his hand, sat firmly on the Diaoyu Tai and ate Archduke Buck to death.

The conditions he put forward would certainly hurt Grand Duke Buck to the bone marrow, but it was better than being divided up by the wolves.

"It is true that he does not have the courage to break the net, but if they break their muscles and bones, it will be difficult for him to accept, especially the second one, if his elite army is all disarmed and unarmed, it will only be hundreds of thousands of people who want to come back, and if he wants to rearm, it will never be completed in a year and a half, what is the difference between not being rescued and not being rescued? The Kingsley family is afraid that it will be difficult to agree. Sophia said from a relatively neutral point of view.

"It's just a matter of sitting on the ground. Sean smiled and said, "Grind slowly, time is on my side anyway." ”

"You've got the best idea of what to do, remember my bottom line. Princess Regent emphasized again.

It didn't take half an hour for Grand Duke Buck to turn around and say expressionlessly, "Let's continue." ”

An old politician like him will never lose control of his emotions because an agreement cannot be negotiated, and he just took advantage of the topic to play and leave the table to discuss with his own think tank team, and come up with countermeasures.

Sean sat on the ground and raised the price, of course he had to pay it back on the spot.

This is destined to be a long tug-of-war, the two sides revolve around the three terms proposed by the Eternal Night Commander, back and forth, fighting for their own best interests from various angles, this is by no means a matter of two people, Sean and Grand Duke Buck, but a confrontation between two think tank teams.

It is not only the on-site negotiation factors that affect the final outcome, but also various off-the-field factors.

In the preliminary agreement, the 5,000 Kingsley family soldiers who returned to the Carthusian army with the help of the Eternal Night Army began to exert their might, and with the cooperation of the 3,000 elites and 20,000 mine slave soldiers squeezed out like Archduke Buck squeezing toothpaste, the Kingsley family did not declare war on those forces that took advantage of the fire to rob.

The claws that reached out to them were chopped off with a tough attitude, and the first to bear the brunt was the military family Adolf of the slave Lancelot royal family, and the 5,000 noble private soldiers who entered the disputed territory without permission were mercilessly killed by the Kingsley family, and they did not even leave time to talk and buffer.

This is not the end, this Kingsley family army took the opportunity to drive straight in, and took back the other two territories that were disputed with the Adolf family and the ownership was temporarily in the hands of the Adolf family, and the methods were equally cruel and ruthless.

On the one hand, the Kingsley family is killing chickens to show the monkeys, using this to warn those lords 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 state of weakness, but as a grand duke family, they have a background that is far from being comparable to them, and a little strength can be crushed to death if a little strength leaks between their fingers.

And they've now started the negotiation process with the Eternal Night Warlords, and once their army is back, they'll settle scores.

Moreover, the negotiations with the Eternal Night Warlords have already occupied too much of their energy, and they have no more energy to entangle with them, so they will first use force to suppress them by force to prevent the situation from worsening, and indirectly affect their negotiations with the Eternal Night Warlords.

For the Kingsley family, rescuing their hundreds of thousands of troops now 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 Kingsley family's thunderous methods really scared many people, and many forces who originally wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob involuntarily weighed their own catties and could withstand the thunderous blow of the Kingsley family.

Emaciated camels are bigger than horses.

The Kingsley family has been standing for so many years, and the foundation is still there, and it is not so easy to collapse.

There are also unwilling forces who secretly try to obstruct the talks between the Eternal Night Army Leader and the Kingsley family, hoping that the Eternal Night Army leader will completely crush the Kingsley family's Eastern Army to death on the east bank of the Danube River, so that they can drink soup with them.

It's just that most of these forces have limited capabilities, and their influence is naturally limited.

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

These two great forces are none other than the Holy See and the Witches.

In the last decade or so, these two international forces have shown a vigorous and active state, and in particular, the emphasis on secular rights has been increasing day by day.

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

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

It's just a normal sermon, and it's hard to get explosive results that catch the eye.

Therefore, these cardinals came up with a shortcut, that is, to cooperate with those lords and nobles, and with the cooperation of these lords, they used inducements and even coercion to convert the people below, which was naturally much faster and more eye-catching than normal sermons.

As for the Witches' Secret Society, they have too deep a feud with the Holy Aether Holy See, and they will definitely try their best to block whatever the Holy See wants to do, especially this kind of expansion.

The greater the power of the Holy See, the less room they will have.

This time, the Holy See is targeting the Carthusian military leaders.

Since the Carthusian and Manyo armies never completely abolished slavery, their rulers were very unimpressed with the Holy See, which advocated the equality of all beings and the emancipation of souls, and resisted their full entry.

Among them, the Carthusian military lords, who had a large number of miners, were the largest, and after so many years of operation, the proportion of miners' slaves here reached an alarming number.

Under the strict defense of the Kingsley family, the riots, riots, and defections of the mine slaves are still endless, and if the Holy See is allowed to settle in on a large scale and publicize their ways, the entire Carthusian military leader is afraid that it will become a pot of gruel.

In the past, when the Kingsley family was in a strong position, it was naturally monolithic from top to bottom.

Now that the Kingsley family is in a state of unprecedented weakness, anything is possible.

Archduke Barker, who had previously been insensitive to the Holy See of the Holy Ether, suddenly became a devout believer, and the Cardinal of the Holy See became his guest.

In particular, one of the strong contenders for the next pope, Cardinal Enocco, the head of the diocese of Valesta, was frequently seen in front of the residence of Archduke Buck in the royal capital.

"What we have just said, I will leave it to His Excellency the Bishop. Grand Duke Buck took Cardinal Enoch's hand with sincerity and said, "After this is done, I am not only willing to use the rest of this life to serve the God of Truth, but in the next ten years, I will also build at least a hundred churches in my territory, all in the name of Notte." ”

Nott was Cardinal Enocco's last name before he joined the Holy See.

"Your Majesty has a heart, the matter of building a church can be had, and the matter named after Notte is exempted, and the people of the province have a mouthful, and it is enough for Your Majesty to have this heart. ”

Cardinal Enocco's wrinkled face smiled like a blooming chrysanthemum, "The matter entrusted by Your Majesty, although rest assured, this is Byron, a place with rules, and you can't let these mountain forces come wildly, Her Royal Highness Princess Sophia is young and easy to be deceived by treachery, it is also normal, we have the obligation to help her correct, for the benefit of all Byron, some personal interests, must be abandoned." ”

"Byron has been able to stand for so many years because of the selflessness of a man like His Excellency the Bishop. Archduke Buck said with heartfelt appreciation, "It is my greatest regret that I have not been able to discover this before. ”

"It's not too late to find out. Cardinal Enoc said with a reserved face, "It won't be long before Your Majesty will find that the glory of the true god is stronger than you think, and what you are worried about will not only not happen, but will make those people sincerely dedicate themselves and make the territory more stable and rich." ”

"I'll see. Archduke Buck had just the right amount of anticipation on his face, "I await the good news from Your Excellency the Bishop. ”

"Stay. "Cardinal Enocco boarded his quaint carriage.

It wasn't until he had traveled a long way that Inuoko couldn't hold back his laughter, and the solemnity that belonged to the cardinal was gone.

"Knott Cathedral, haha...... Hundreds of Knott Cathedrals do sound very tasteful, and it seems that the situation of this old fox is really very bad, and he doesn't even want the last face. ”

"But it's a great thing for me, hehe, if you can take down the Carthusian army, I see what you can do with me, my dear Bishop St. George, toast to the glory of God. ”

Cardinal Enocco triumphantly poured himself a glass of crystal-clear wine, and raised his glass alone in the direction of St. Eden.
