Bang

Between the ebb and flow of the tide, the tide crashes into the white water on the dark cliffs.

As far as the eye could see, the swarthy cliffs of the shore were followed by a sudden burst of a fortress.

Said to be a fortress, in fact it is a typical castle building, unceremoniously occupying the highest point of the already small island.

But no one would dare to question the fortress function of this castle, a number of towers were built on the top and around the castle, and the arrow towers of high and low also leaned against the main body of the castle, and on the towering walls, the black holes and holes of the alchemy cannons were faintly visible.

The castle is made of huge stones, and with its condescending terrain and narrow and complex terrain, it is also equipped with defensive equipment and a large number of troops, and its strong defensive ability is undoubted

This fortified castle has the advantages of a unique design and defense that is armed to the teeth, and the rational placement of firing fire such as artillery, ballistas, catapults, etc., which can be called a work of art and a meat grinder.

Even with ten times the strength of the army and the weapons of victory, the cost of storming the castle would not be affordable if it was not intended for great losses.

And this castle is also located on the small island at the entrance and exit of the Great Bay of Hytute, firmly guarding this entrance, keeping an eye on every ship that enters, if the forces in control of this castle have this will, it can immediately firmly block the entrance, so that no ship can pass through!

Since the chaos of Hightut, the owner of this fortress-style castle, Montgomery, who was also the head of the Montgomery Merchant Order, the head of the three major forces of Hightut, immediately shrank his power when he saw that the situation was not good, and hid in this castle that can be said to be impregnable, and preserved most of his strength with the help of geographical advantages.

When he heard that the seven large pirate groups had been wiped out, and many forces in Hightut had lost their protection at once, and fell into a chaotic battle, Montgot took the lead in taking advantage of the fire assistance in the castle to seize all the best docks in Hightut, despite the fact that he had also lost the protection of the three large pirate groups behind him!

followed by a series of seizures and annexations, and in the end, Montgot's power did not decrease but increased, forming a three-legged trend with Ruth and the sea seals.

In the end, the three parties can only reach a balance on the surface and maintain a fragile peace, but the dark tide under the surface is extremely turbulent!

They all wanted to annex each other in one bite, wanting to be dominant and firmly control Hightut, but their strength was almost the same, so they naturally gave birth to the idea of inviting foreign aid and finding a backer.

Therefore, Montgot is now in the reception room of the castle, receiving a guest from afar.

"Hello, Dear Sir Donne. ”

"Thank you very much for coming. ”

"Let's try this cup of black tea made from special tea leaves from Hernit......

The bright red tea swelled a little on the table, and a rich fragrance overflowed, lingering between Sir Donne's slightly reddened nose, and he couldn't help but show a little intoxication.

Picking up the porcelain teacup from the East, Sir Dorne took a sip of the black tea in the cup, and the mellow taste suddenly made him smile.

"Hehehe......"

Looking at the smile on the face of Sir Dorne in front of him, Montgot's eyes couldn't help but smile a little, and he also felt that the large amount of money he spent on buying information was not in vain - Sir Dorne really likes high-end black tea.

As an emissary sent by Viscount George, a great nobleman on the South Coast, Sir Dorne is undoubtedly worth pleased, and perhaps as soon as he relieves, the benefits may be a little more!

After all, in Montgoth's opinion, among the many olive branches that came to him, Count George was the most sincere, and after he responded, Viscount George sent Sir Dorne to sign the treaty!

Soon, a cup of mellow black tea was slowly drunk by Sir Dorne, and after elegantly putting down the cup, Sir Dorne took out a white handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth, and then said, "Mr. Montgot." ”

"Your wishes and requests are already known to the Viscount. ”

"Now, I'm here to sign an agreement with you on behalf of Lord Viscount!"

"But ......"

At this, a gleam appeared in Sir Donne's eyes.

"After coming into contact with the principals of the other two major powers in Hytut, Viscount George feels that the terms of the treaty between us need to be changed somewhat......"

Montgoth, who was picking up the teapot and filling Sir Dorne's cup with black tea, trembled when he heard this, but a few bits of black tea splashed out.

His face changed a little for a moment, but soon calmed down again, and Montgoth smiled again: "Oh?"

"Don't worry, we can discuss ...... slowly"

"Now is the time to enjoy this precious black tea......"

After saying that, Montgot continued to drink black tea while enjoying the delicious snacks.

"Hehehe......" Sir Dorne also picked up his teacup and took a sip......

For a while, the two of them seemed to be intoxicated by this mellow black tea, and the atmosphere was harmonious, but any discerning person could see that this was just a warm-up between the two old foxes before the negotiation!

Sure enough, it wasn't long before Sir Dorne took the lead:

"Three five-masted ships, the sailors who control the ships are ready, as soon as Viscount George gives the order, they can set off immediately!"

"Two hundred sets of leather armor, fifty crossbows, five hundred stainless steel weapons......"

“......”

"After the deed is done, Viscount George wants fifty percent of the benefits of Hytut!"

Montgot refused without thinking, "Impossible!"

"A little material support and ship support alone is not enough for me to sweep away the remaining two forces of Hytut!"

"Moreover, it is all my people who shed blood in battle, and Viscount George wants to take fifty percent of the benefits for this alone, even my brothers will not agree!"

“......”

After a lot of verbal swords, your comings and goings instantly filled this reception room with the smell of gunpowder.

"Perhaps, you should look at the bids of other forces......

"Then you will know how sincere Earl George is!"

At this time, Sir Dorne suddenly said such a sentence.

Montgot was stunned for a moment, but then he was in a state of mind, and this was obviously the added benefit of his currying favor - being able to know the bids of other forces!

It was another complicated exchange of words that it was before Sir Montgoth and Sir Dorne finally came to an agreement

- "Viscount George sent three five-masted ships and five hundred soldiers to help!"

"At the same time, three hundred sets of leather armor, seventy crossbows, and five hundred stainless steel weapons were provided......"

“......”

"Help Montgoth defeat the other forces and take control of all of Hytuth!"

“......”

"After the deed is accomplished, Viscount George will receive forty percent of the benefits of Hetut!"

The agreement, which was full of articles written in duplicate and stamped and then controlled by both parties, was of course unlikely to be recognized on the surface, but it still had its deterrent effect.

At the very least, it's proof that there has been such a cooperation between the two sides!

Rumble!

Just as Montgot smiled and suggested moving to the restaurant for a sumptuous dinner, a loud bang was heard!
