The army of Kentan that had gathered behind the mouth of Mangdun did not move for a long time, because it was rumored that the heir of the principality seemed to have a strange disease, and the eldest duke, who loved his son, lost every inch for a while, and hurriedly and secretly informed General Raeder to postpone the battle and not to take the initiative to attack the enemy city.

The dwarven alchemist John was the most reluctant person, and he finally prepared some of his own unique secret recipes, but he was delayed because of this extraneous matter. Fortunately, General Raeder knows how to appease people's hearts, otherwise, with the temper of a short man, it is estimated that he would have left without hesitation.

The Duke of Kentan even told Raeder in a more intimate way to find a way to get in touch with the Bilty side and ask if they were willing to strike on both sides. As soon as Raeder received this letter, he immediately scolded the Duke for being a fool, and the other party had come all the way to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, how could he accept Bai Heping like child's play?

In fact, Raeder blamed his boss this time, although the Duke may indeed be a little anxious, but he is not so stupid. He just adopted the method of planning according to the plan, so that the Tamborance Empire could relax some of its guard, and also make a little space and time for his next surprise action. The Duke deliberately made this matter very mysterious in order to make a fake show, and the messenger sent was also bitter, anyway, to convince everyone, including General Raeder, that he no longer had the energy and courage to pose a threat to Bilti City. Before leaving, the messenger handed Raeder a neatly folded duke's handwriting, telling him to open it in a month's time.

Raeder couldn't bear the Duke's thoughts, but he couldn't disobey them, so he could only reluctantly agree. As for the matter of suing for peace with the city of Birti, the general could not find a suitable candidate. He secretly thought to himself that if it weren't for the existence of the natural danger of Mangdunkou, it was estimated that after showing weakness, he would be attacked by the other party fiercely.

He pulled out all kinds of possibilities back and forth, and finally decided to go to Birti City in person, inform the other party of the dilemma faced by Kentan, and also take this opportunity to explore the reality inside and outside the city.

For the sake of safety, Raeder only brought two casual clothes with him, and when he was still two miles away from the camp of the garrison outside the city of the Duchy of Borot, the military made a clear indication of his intention with the loudspeaker he carried, and asked the other party to notify the person in charge of the city as soon as possible.

Henry Crawford, who was guarding Simon, did not dare to slack off, and quickly passed the news to Albert and his brother Talen. The young duke felt a little elusive, so he inquired about the meaning of the great military division. Tarun said with a smile: "The so-called Three Treasures Hall for nothing, the other party has never taken a step forward because of the natural danger of the reckless dun mouth, and there must be something special for coming in person so sincerely this time." It is better to have one more friend than one more enemy, so we might as well put aside the hostility for a while and listen to what he has to say. ”

Little Ah immediately agreed, and after Talen's order, in order to show that he was also quite interested, he rode out of the city on a fast horse, and welcomed General Reddell side by side.

The handsome man of Kentan was a head taller than Xiao A, and he walked upright, with a smile on his face that was difficult to distinguish and adapt. He noticed two fierce generals behind the young duke, one of whom was the dwarf Kaigan, who was five big and three thick, and who could not see his waist, and the other was Adrian, who was almost as burly as himself.

After greeting the others, Raeder made his suggestion in due course and formally: "Your Excellency, should you go and invite Count Destini and the Emperor's General Iros?

Albert looked at Talen, who was also smiling, and replied firmly: "The general is a man who understands, you and I have been facing each other for so many months, and the news in Birti City must have been familiar to you. The Count of Destini was a young girl in her early twenties, and her mere old father, who died tragically in the earthquake, left her no worthy legacy, and the whole city of Birti, and the whole of Destini, was almost undefended. As for the so-called General Chinchailos, he was indeed sent by the Emperor to take charge of the overall situation, but the general was not subject to the orders of the foreign monarch, how could he command the tens of thousands of heroes of my Duchy of Borot with his Praetorian Guard, which numbered only a few hundred people?"

Raeder subconsciously clubbed his nose, and then suddenly burst out laughing: "This is the truth, I love to hear the truth." Since His Excellency the Duke is so honest, then I will not do anything about it. ”

The general told the news of the duke's son's illness in all his words, interspersed with some of his own understanding, so that the listener could be more convinced.

Tarun was the only person who could interject while the two were discussing things, and he deliberately and decisively teased: "Isn't the general afraid that we will take advantage of the fire to rob this old man when he has come out of the old bottom?"

Raeder still rubbed the tip of his nose and replied unhurriedly: "Your Excellency is right, the first thought that flashed in my mind when I received this peace order was that our duke had lost an inch. But those who are ministers will repay the kindness of the lord of the people, and I will never be able to disobey the order. ”

"The general's loyalty is indeed admirable, but this war is not a child's play, if you say that you will strike the army, you will not only be laughed at by the world, but also will be immediately seized by the Emperor Tivot. We have come all the way here to answer the Emperor's call to destroy the rebels. We really can't accept your request. Albert's words showed a momentum of forgiveness.

Raeder shrugged his shoulders and said: "Mangdunkou is my biggest hole card, Your Excellency Duke is so confident that I can take this dangerous pass that is impossible to open? But are you really so daring to storm Mangdunkou at all costs? Aren't you afraid that you're just buying wedding clothes for others? Aren't you afraid that the praying mantis will catch cicadas and yellow finches behind? Isn't that general Iros a deadly trap left by the emperor? Isn't the reason why that sinister and cunning Diliot is so slow to attack you is because of your current important position? Are you not afraid that you will run out of stamina when you are so eager to play your cards? Your father was killed by thieves in the imperial capital of Xiza not long ago, are you willing to repeat the mistake of the past? Have you not thought of avenging the murder of your father? Are you really just here to exterminate the so-called rebels?"

General Kentan's questions are more acute than the other, and each one touches the sensitive area of Xiao A's heart more than the other. Yes, the purpose of my coming here is to prepare to break with the emperor. If his troops had tried their best to take down Mangdunkou, wouldn't they have just fallen into the hands of the emperor?

Xiao Ah didn't think about this question, but now it was raised by Kentan's side, so it became more urgent and acute.

Tarun watched the duke's hesitation, then stepped forward to relieve the siege and said, "The general's has indeed hit our vital point. You have come so lightly with sincerity, and we certainly will not be lazy. What you're asking for is so important that we really can't answer it right now. If you have confidence in us, you can choose to stay here for a while, and we will give you an official reply in a few days. What do you think?"

Normally speaking, Raeder would not agree to live in the city of Birti, he is the commander of an army, how can he casually go into the enemy camp and take such a big risk?

Of course, Raeder also made his own request, he needed to meet with Count Destiny and General Iros immediately, after all, he still needed to say hello.

It was the first time that so many heavyweights had gathered in the city of Birti, and it was the first time that these characters belonging to different camps had appeared at the same time. When Claudia learned of Kentan's intention to reconcile, her mind suddenly seemed to be cleared, and she thought too simply, thinking that in this way she would be able to save her homeland from ruin, and she did not have time to think about the position of Borot's side and General Iros.

The Bearded Iros's desire for merit was too urgent, and he had no interest in Raeder's offer of peace, and he would not have been on such an occasion if it had not been for the sake of keeping himself from being too isolated.

The Praetorian Guard was the only bargaining chip he could get his hands on now, and the necromancer and the dark elves could certainly use their magic abilities to make a ten, but when the two armies were fighting, they were still a little outnumbered, and could only be used as surprise soldiers.

As for Nyo the Cortésian, although his men numbered in the hundreds, his position made it impossible for General Iros to easily elude. That man's ambition was too great, and he worked hard in secret, which had already made the general's heart feel uncomfortable.

Claudia tried her best to be a landlord, but she soon realized that she was the most inconsequential person in the party. The men didn't give her the slightest leeway to discuss the subject, and even if she did muster up the courage to do so a few times, the response was just a few laughs. She hated these people's deceitful political struggles, but she had to get caught up in them to fight and defend her rights and the rights of her homeland.

She is determined to focus everyone's attention on herself, and as a woman, the most realistic thing to do is to have a masquerade ball. This is a long-standing custom on the Bodi continent, and even in such an authoritarian and harsh environment as the Guvien Empire, people have always enjoyed it.

Her idea had been brewing for some time, and General Raeder's arrival had inadvertently added a handful of firewood. She wants to use her natural advantages of gender to make others pay attention to her, to make others realize that she is not a showman, but a real countess who is not inferior to any man.
