"Oh, it turns out that the Venerable Tskema Kingdom Mission has arrived!" As the oldest and most experienced, General Dampier was the first to speak. Vertex updates are the fastest
But when it was to greet him, he didn't even get up from his chair with a shaking, but just said lukewarmly.
"You!"
There were many disgruntled nobles in the camp of the Tskma Kingdom who wanted to speak up.
"Ah, yes, respected General Dampier, I can't imagine that after not seeing you for many days, your complexion still looks very ruddy, I don't know what is the secret recipe for maintenance?"
William directly interrupted the nobles' words with a word, and then said to General Dampier in a more enthusiastic tone.
"Who are you?"
General Dampier looked a little arrogant at this time, of course he didn't know William, William still has some reputation in the surrounding countries, but, after all, they are the victors in this war, not to mention that in the next negotiations, the more this is the case, the more they can grasp the initiative.
"Ah, it seems that you are really a noble person! I am a vassal of the royal family of the Kingdom of Tskma, Count of Denlenburg, William. Wallace, I fought with General Yousen at the Battle of Laughlinburg, and I was so oily that I was able to meet you at that time! ”
William said in a tone that was neither humble nor arrogant, and as if he had inadvertently mentioned the Battle of Laughlinburg, which had caused General Dampier to suffer.
General Dampier listened to William's words and his face was a little ugly, the Battle of Laughlinburg was an indelible thorn in his heart, and he was brought up again by his opponents at that time, and it was obvious that he was very uncomfortable.
"Ah, it turned out to be Baron William at that time, I didn't expect you to become an earl after not seeing you for so long, it seems that the title of the Kingdom of Cikma is so easy to obtain!"
General Dampier nodded, looking like he had suddenly realized, and consciously or unconsciously expressed some disdain for William's title.
"Yes, honorable general, I still want to thank you for this matter, if it weren't for your war, I might still be an unknown little baron now, I think it's all thanks to you!"
William's face remained unchanged after being taunted, and he was still smiling and talking to General Dampier.
King Lerna of the White Rose Kingdom didn't say much at this time, although he was the one with the highest status at this time, but he was not from the Cikma Kingdom, he could only come to help support him at most, and let go of cruel words, if he managed too much, it would be inappropriate.
In the current situation, it is still William, the strongest vassal, who is the most suitable to speak, and the battle of words between the two directly determines the morale of the negotiation for a while.
Besides, don't look at the enemy so arrogant now, but in fact, the cards in their hands are not enough, the Kingdom of Cikma has the support of the White Rose Kingdom, and there are a lot more hole cards, and they are not afraid of the enemy attacking again.
"Haha, I'll tell you the truth, after the end of this war, my position may also go up!"
General Dampier didn't pay much attention to it after hearing this, and said with a slight smile.
No matter what William says, he is the winner of this war after all, and as long as he grasps this, he can deal the biggest blow to the opponent's psychology.
"Haha, General Dampier, you are laughing, I don't know how much the Kingdom of Ribborn can profit from this time? Isn't it? ”
William said, turning his gaze to Deputy Head Nairbrand, who was present, the kingdom of Ruiborn, which has a huge power in the church, is not necessarily how much it can get.
Seeing that William began to change the topic of conflict, General Dampier did not want the conflict between the Kingdom of Ribone and the Church to be on the table, and hurriedly ended the cynicism between the two.
"Haha, Count William, you are so humorous, you have worked hard from afar, you must be very tired, hurry up and rest and rest!"
General Dampier said with a smile, he really didn't want to be entangled with William anymore, he had lived for so many years, and he had never seen such a young man who was so good at sophistry.
William smiled at this, then glanced at the nobles behind him, and then asked King Lerna to sit down first, and then sat down himself.
In this way, the nobles finally sat down in front of the enemy nobles, and they looked at each other with hatred, eager to be able to cut each other with a thousand knives.
"Dear General Dampier, as the most holy country close to the heavenly kingdom on earth, the general of the Kingdom of Riborn, I think you should abide by the rules of nobility, maintain the justice in your heart, and put an end to this dishonorable war!"
William, as the plenipotentiary of the kingdom of Tskema, was the first to make strong demands, as if they were the victors in the war.
"Oh, Count William, you joked, whether the war ends or not depends on your decision, this war has caused us huge losses, and we will not end the war if we do not get adequate compensation!"
General Dampier's attitude was also very tough, and William's lack of diplomatic means seemed very naïve in the eyes of General Dampier.
"But didn't we both suffer huge losses? Our losses are great, and even our most beloved king has died in this senseless war! ”
William spread his hands and said helplessly: "It's a pity, this is just a misunderstanding, I very much hope that everyone can wake up in this misunderstanding and not continue to cause more senseless sacrifices."
"Oh, Count William, please stop using this clumsy trick like this, we all know what we want!"
Listening to General Dampier's words, William no longer circled with the other party, and said directly: "Then, please say your requirements, I hope it doesn't exceed our bottom line!" ”
"Of course, we've always been kind!" General Dampier said shamelessly, and then continued: "We do not intend to return the two fortresses, seven cities, twelve castles, and the manor villages under their jurisdiction, which we have acquired so far!" ”
"And I want you to return Issamdenburg, and cede another county, and compensate us for 120,000 silver coins or 120,000 gold coins!"
"Then you will pay us three parties every year equivalent to a quarter of your national grain production, which will be paid off in installments for ten years!"
General Dampier took out a list and began to say their conditions according to the words on it.
The more you talk about it, the more atmosphere the nobles of the Tskema Kingdom are, this is simply a lion's mouth!
I've never seen such an offer! It's just blackmail!
The nobles began to roar angrily: "The negotiations are broken! Even if they have nothing, I will make them pay! ”
The nobles were already carried away by the rage, and if the negotiations did break down, they would never want to fight for nothing.
"Such conditions, with all due respect, we cannot agree, if this is your sincerity, then I think there is no need for us to continue negotiations, see you on the battlefield! The dignity of the Kingdom of Tskema cannot be defiled! ”
William said righteously at this time, as if discussing a hero, and said righteously.
