40. Reparations, Alliances
"General, this old fellow is not bad. A cavalry captain on the side took over the conversation, Kane is a bad guy, then he's a good guy. "Let's see what compensation he can give and report it to the city lord. If the city lord is satisfied, our brothers can do things, and if the city lord is not satisfied, we will wave our army and kill them all. ”
"Okay, you old guy has a point, let's say, how do you want to compensate us?" Kane took it when he saw it.
"This ......" The Chancellor of the Exchequer didn't expect the other party to mention it himself, but it was also because he said that he wanted to compensate others. It's because I said the wrong thing, no wonder people wait for themselves to say it, how much is appropriate? Give less, I'm afraid that this big guy is not going to immediately capture our city, but if he gives too much, I'm afraid that His Majesty the Emperor will not be able to explain it.
"He also said that he would compensate us, but at first glance, he was insincere, but fortunately, he didn't listen to you and stop the attack first. Kane said angrily: "If the order goes down, the hoplites will attack immediately, and within three hours will take this city for General Ben, and I don't believe that there will be less money in it." ”
"Yes. A cavalry captain on the side stood up very cooperatively, answered the call, and walked out.
"Slow down, don't worry, general, I'll say, I'll say. Wiping the sweat from his forehead, the Chancellor of the Exchequer said: "Due to the great damage caused to the Elven Kingdom, our empire can compensate the Elven Kingdom for three billion gold coins......"
The Jinshi Empire is rich in the end, and it is three billion as soon as he opens his mouth, but Kane does not buy his account, and when he hears it, he drank: "What are you still doing here? ”
"Yes, the last will go. The cavalry captain pretended to wipe a handful of sweat, glared at the finance minister of the Jinshi Empire viciously, strode out, and shouted: "The cavalry brigade is assembled immediately, and the whistle is sounded to attack the city gate immediately, and there must be no mistake." ”
The Chancellor of the Exchequer looked at it and thought that if people took down this city, they could grab more than one billion just by robbing it. It's no wonder he can't look down on my three billion. Thinking about it, the Chancellor of the Exchequer sweated faster, how did he know that Kane was happy when he heard about three billion, and his heart was so cool. Just come out and sneak around, and you can catch a lot of fish. Originally, Mo Fei thought that it would be almost enough to be able to make two billion. Mo Fei estimated that he could grab at least a few hundred million yuan by taking this important border town, plus the tens of thousands of troops trapped in the city, and more than 300,000 residents, the Jinshi Empire should spend more than ten or two billion, but he didn't expect that the Jinshi Empire had too much money, and the minister of this housekeeper startled Kane as soon as he opened his mouth.
"General, slow down, what I'm talking about is just compensating for the loss of the elven kingdom, and I haven't said it yet. ”
"I'm listening. Kane's face was cold and his heart was beating, if he didn't want to cheat a little more now, I was afraid that he wouldn't agree immediately.
"For this, my country intends to compensate your city for ten ...... Oh no...... Two billion gold coins, what do you think ......?"
"Well, if you know each other, I'll report it to our city lord. But if our city lord agrees to you or not, I don't know, so you can wait. Kane was about to walk away. He was going to the back and yelled, he was stunned, it would hurt to hold his stomach like this.
"General, can you stop the siege first?" asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer, hurriedly grabbing Kane.
"Good. Kane said to the other cavalry captain on the side: "Go, give the order to the siege troops, stop the attack for the time being, and wait for the order." ”
"Thank you, General. The Chancellor of the Exchequer wiped his sweat and breathed a sigh of relief.
Kane walked out of the tent with a long face, and turned to the back to estimate that the old man couldn't hear it, so he laughed out loud.
"It's still the city lord's head, I didn't expect this Jinshi Empire to have a lot of money, and I'll come back to play when I don't have money in the future. A cavalry captain knew Mo Fei's intentions and opened his mouth to speak.
"Let's play again, then we have to find some reason to let him step on us before we can come, do you think we're coming?" Kane scolded with a laugh. "Let's go, let's drink, and we'll go back to him later. You, first go and give the order, let everyone stop the siege, and get ready to retreat. ”
It didn't take long for the City of the Dead to begin to withdraw, and the guards of the Golden Stone Empire who were cowering at the head of the city poked their heads out. Looking at the army of the city of death that was moving slowly, the courage of these soldiers defending the city to fight again was gone. Just let the abominable arrow carts find the slightest shadow, and a huge arrow will burst through the air. Either take a human life, or hit the wall and splash sparks, and if you don't hit, you will be scared half to death. These horrible creatures are finally gone, and they are still alive.
Let's talk about Kane, as soon as he withdrew from the border of the Golden Stone Empire with his team, he immediately called a lieutenant general, handed over the army to him, and asked him to take people back to the City of Death, and he himself had to go first to report to the young master.
With a few guards in tow, Kane returned to the City of the Dead in just five days.
"You're back so soon?" Mo Fei, Vivien, and Erin have been staying together every day for the past few days, and Mo Fei is afraid that something unpleasant will happen to the two girls for themselves. After learning the news of Kane's return, he waited at the residence, along with the Elven Queen. Before the Elven King City was built, the Elven Queen and the princess lived in the City Lord's Mansion in Mofei.
"Yes, young master," Kane took a sip of water and said, "They said to compensate the Elven Kingdom for the loss of three billion gold coins......"
"Ahh
"Yes, they also compensated us for the cost of sending troops to the City of the Dead, two billion gold coins. After Kane finished speaking, even Mo Fei jumped up.
"The Golden Stone Empire is worthy of being the Golden Stone Empire, and it is scary as soon as you open your mouth. Mo Fei smiled: "Mom, look ......" Mo Fei looked at the elf queen.
"As you say, kill 10,000 enemies and lose 8,000. Everything that doesn't happen happens, there are few of you, and it's enough for them to compensate so much gold, so be it. ”
The Elven Queen stood up, she was going to tell the elders about her decision. With this amount of money, the elven kingdom naturally doesn't have to do those dangerous businesses in the future.
It didn't take long for the word of the city of death to bring one of the richest empires to its knees with the force of a city to the city. So, in Mo Fei's territory, those large and small forces began to send their representatives to the City of Death.
When the representatives of all kinds of forces around the City of Death came to the City of Death to see Mo Fei, Mo Fei was one head and two years old.
"Lord City, are you dizzy, maybe someone will come in the next two days!" Elder Auf smiled, "You are capable and responsible now, who are they not looking for you?"
Think about it, for the sake of a verbal covenant, the power of the city declared war on an empire, and actually forced the other party to submit. This is the kind of capability that no single small group or organization can have. It is said that the Assassination Underground has announced that it will not accept any employment against the City of the Dead and its allies. Anyone who conceals it and causes the organization to have a misunderstanding with the City of Death, the underworld will never let him go.
"Let's talk about it when they all arrive, just say it once when the time comes, if you come to say it once, you still have to do it well. Mo Fei grimaced, "Also, it's strictly forbidden to go out where they live." ”
"Don't worry, Lord Castle. I've informed everyone who has entered the city, and now they all live in that VIP building in the city. Kane had already arranged for men to be guarded outside the building, and they were not allowed to move around the city at will. ”
"Well, I don't want anyone in there to sneak in and do something we don't like. Mo Fei smiled, with Elder Auf here, he didn't have to worry about anything at all. Mo Fei felt as if he was just playing a role in connecting everyone.
After a few days, it was determined that no one was coming again. Murphy announced that he would meet with the representatives of these forces in the city's council hall. When the guards informed the delegates who had been living in the VIP Building for a few days, they were so excited that they took out the various treasures they had brought with them to meet the lord of the Dead City.
Led by the guards, the delegates headed towards the conference hall not far from the VIP building.
Murphy sat at the top of the council hall, and Erin and Vivien knew that Murphy had something to do, so they sat beside him obediently.
"See Lord Castle. All of a sudden, more than fifty people actually knelt down, which meant that they would accept the leadership of the City of Death and respect the banner of the City of Death.
Mo Fei didn't expect that when this bunch of representatives of various forces saw him actually kneeling, he hurriedly stood up, walked in front of them and said, "Everyone, hurry up, our city of death is not prosperous." ”
"Rise up, everybody, we don't bow in the City of the Dead. Elder Auf smiled happily beside him.
After everyone got up, Mo Fei said, "In the past few days, because people have been coming one after another, so everyone has been waiting for so long. Here, the lord of this city will accompany you first. ”
This gang has everyone, and they dare to do any business on weekdays. It's just that none of them expected Mo Fei to talk to them like that. When they came, their leaders confessed their allegiance to the City of the Dead. As for how much to enter, it is up to the City of Death to decide. All they had to do was bring the words to them.
"I don't know if everyone came to our city of the dead to ......"
"Lord of the Castle, my lord ordered me to come here to swear allegiance to Lord Castle. My lord said that in the future, our caravan will act on the orders of the city lord......"
Before this person's voice fell, someone over there immediately rushed to say: "Our lord said the same thing, and in the future, I will be ordered by the city lord, please ...... the city lord."
All of a sudden, the whole hall was in chaos. Mo Fei hurriedly said, "Everyone, be quiet...... Well, you don't have to. ”
Seeing that everyone was a little stunned, Mo Fei continued: "Don't be so clear, I only have one sentence, you can bring it back to your lords." From now on, if I go to the city of death, please take care of me, and if anyone is unfavorable to my city of death, I can secretly let me know. Then, the City of the Dead would be his most reliable ally. On the other hand, when someone helps outsiders to embarrass our city of death, our city of death is not ambiguous. Whether you are a friend or an enemy in the future, please tell your adults when you go back. One more thing, we in the City of the Dead don't want anything from you. If we like your things, and you are willing to give them, then we will pay you gold coins according to the market price, and in the future, we will be friends and allies, and everyone will help each other, who are you afraid of him??"
Mo Fei's words went to their hearts. Who doesn't want to be the king of the mountain, who wants to give half of the little fruit they have finally obtained, or even half to others? And Mo Fei also understands what they mean, they usually take care of the City of Death, and when someone wants to disadvantage the City of Death, they can just secretly inform them. Under this premise, the City of Death will come to their aid when they are attacked and annexed by external forces. Where to find such a good thing?
