Chapter 61: An Unexpected Information Gap
Black Axe was silent for a moment and said, "I hope you can keep your promise." To be honest, I find that I have no idea why you are calling and why you are attacking Fort Eagle?"
"Don't you know this in your mind?" Taylor preemptively asked.
Black Axe suddenly felt that there seemed to be some misunderstanding between the two city-states, he really didn't understand, after all, since Baron Anderson's disappearance, the viscount above had told them not to cause trouble recently.
Originally, he thought that the team of Eternal Light City was just retaliating, but suddenly found that it seemed that it was not that simple.
"I ...... Didn't we rob too hard and retaliate?"
Black Axe hesitated for a long time, but couldn't think of a correct answer.
The three of them looked at each other in the same way, and Roy tapped his fingers on the table rhythmically again: "My father, where are you holding him?"
"Baron Anderson?"
Black Axe was even more confused, why would they think that Baron Anderson was in White Eagle Castle?
"My lord, can I know why you are so sure that Baron Anderson is in White Eagle Castle?"
Roy took out a badge from his pocket and said, "Last month, I took people to rescue my father who was besieged by the Lost, but when I arrived, the guards were slaughtered, and only one person was left unbreathed, and he told me that the White Eagle Castle guards attacked the team with the Night Rangers. ”
"This can't ......" Black Axe said subconsciously, "We did go to the rescue at that time, but we also fell into your ambush......"
The four of them suddenly looked at each other, and all of them suddenly realized that they were most likely all placed together.
"I'm not sure you're telling the truth......"
"I don't have to lie to you about this kind of thing, it doesn't mean much to either side. ”
"Then I ask you, what about the mines?"
"We did hear about the mine, but we weren't involved, and we don't know who did it. ”
"Water monster, kidnapping the son of the village chief of Kos, and blackmailing him to blow up the granary......"
The black axe just shook his head silently: "My lord, I don't admit any of these charges, if it was really the baron who did it, I would definitely admit it, but these are really not what we did......"
"You mean, it's someone else who is stirring up our relationship?"
Kaili was also a little troubled by these news, according to the previous situation, if the White Eagle Fort was not the mastermind behind the scenes, it was involved.
Roy exhaled a long breath and said: "No matter what the plan is, but the current situation is already difficult to ride a tiger, and we can only solve the problem here first to explore the purpose of the person behind it." ”
Black Axe came back to his senses and nodded: "Yes, even if there is no such thing, I think there will be this battle sooner or later." Now I am willing to surrender to you, and if you believe me, I am willing to prove my sincerity in one night. ”
"But before that, please don't bomb White Eagle Castle and don't hurt the people. ”
"No problem, bring Cliff to my camp by noon tomorrow. ”
Roy readily agreed to Black Axe's request.
Black Axe didn't expect the negotiations to go so smoothly, and he thought that if the young lord didn't agree, he would seriously injure the other party even if he fought for his life.
I also thought about not believing my own words, so I killed myself directly.
Judging from what he observed, it was a matter of time before they bulldozed the White Eagle Castle, and at that time, Eternal Light City would get thousands of slaves, and it would be a very considerable income to sell them to slave traders.
What's more, the wealth of those merchants in the city is also heartwarming.
When White Eagle Fort captured the city-state before, it was basically like this, after all, it was time-consuming and laborious to send people to manage it, and it was not as high as the one-time trading income.
"My lord, I would like to ask, why would you agree to this request? Black Axe hesitated for a moment and asked the doubts in his heart.
"Perhaps, but really, I always thought that my father was in your hands, and that the attack on White Eagle Fort was just to remove the hidden danger before the Kuroshio Tide came. ”
"......" Black Axe nodded and bowed, "Thank you again for your kindness and kindness." ”
After the Black Axe left the tent, Roy took a sip of wine and said playfully, "I thought that Cliff would send an envoy to negotiate peace with us, but I didn't expect to wait for such a rebel. ”
"I always feel a little confused after listening to him, if it wasn't for the things Baron Cliff did, who would it be?
"Hey, I don't understand it either, I always feel like there's something missing......
"But I did find Willy in Giethoorn, which means at least Giethoorn had a series of plans hatched without Baron Cliff's knowledge?"
"Will it be ......?"
Carey and Roy thought of a possibility almost at the same time: "A defector from the Star Spirit?"
This would explain why mercenaries have muskets, defectors can be found in Giethoorn, and as a former member of the Alchemy Society, you know the importance of source stones.
Then along this line, his purpose also becomes clear......
"The south slope is in danger!"
Taylor listened to the words of the two, a little inexplicable......
Wait, why is it related to the defectors? Why is there a problem with the south slope again?
What the hell are you talking about......
"Taylor, early tomorrow morning, you took some people to the south slope, and this time you pulled out all the mine guards, what a mistake. ”
"I'll go, if this is the defector of the Star Spirit, it might be more appropriate for me to go, and Pierre must take it with me. ”
Roy thought for a moment: "Okay, then you be careful, after dealing with the matter here, I will bring someone over, and if it can't be solved, try to wait for us to arrive." ”
"Okay, by the way, what are you going to do with Baron Cliff?" asked Carey curiously
"According to the law of dawn, the nobles who are the defeated side will be stripped of their titles, let him go to the mines, the efficiency over there has not been very good, and there is a need for manpower. ”
"Although I don't fully understand it, but it seems that there is no need to continue the retreat tomorrow that we discussed before?" Taylor stood up and stretched widely, and said helplessly.
Before the Black Axe came, the three of them were discussing whether to retreat, after all, the number of wounded was increasing, and it would not be a good thing for them to let the reinforcements from White Eagle Fort integrate and form a trap.
According to the original plan, an envoy was sent to negotiate and then decide on the next step.
"Of course, if Eternal Light can swallow the White Eagle Castle, this harvest will become unexpected. Roy stood up and twisted his waist: "Okay, let's stop here today, I'm tired." ”
After the black axe returned to the White Eagle Castle, he looked at the sky, the time spent was not old, and when he saw Poke who was anxiously waiting for him, he nodded silently: "It's done, let's go as planned." ”
"Boss......" Polk suddenly called out to the black axe: "Thank you......"
