【Chapter 499】 A transaction that cannot be refused

After repeated failures in the Blackstone Territory, Kobo Langko, who was in charge of the general dispatch and command, could not escape the blame, and with the addition of his responsibility as an inquisitor, they naturally hated Lea to the core.

Her Royal Highness raised her hand slightly, signaling him to calm down. It's not that they don't believe in the strength of the Templars, but they don't dare to despise each other. In this negotiation, she represents the interests of the church, the majesty of the royal family, and she backtracks and suddenly attacks, even if she exterminates the infidels in front of her, it will inevitably provoke a strong reaction from the Black Stone Collar.

She hadn't forgotten the blonde girl who had single-handedly defeated the golden icon. After investigation, it was confirmed that she was Leah Sander's own sister.

This group of temporarily transferred Templars should have appeared on the front line of resistance against the orcs, and they could not withstand the loss.

Vanessa is far from being as simple as Kobraenko seems, she is both the beloved disciple of the Messenger of Mercy and the eldest princess of the Empire.

The Church is important, the Empire is even more important.

"Sir Borra, you come with me to negotiate. ”

Ko Bo Lang Co was stunned for a moment, and agreed that each side would send two characters, and his status was the most suitable, and he didn't expect that Her Royal Highness the princess would use Bora Heller.

But he was not in a position to question it.

"Yes, Your Highness. Heller, who also didn't expect it, immediately felt a huge pressure and nodded hard.

"Lead the way. ”

Heller immediately straightened his waist and nervously rode his horse forward.

"Shakia, let's go too. ”

Leah took a deep breath, turned over and stepped onto the war horse with Xia Qiya, and her eyes were firmly grasped by the golden princess.

A small Blackstone Lord of yesteryear, plus a half-orc assassin.

They will face the proud women of heaven who represent the church and the royal family.

I was a little nervous when I got on the horse.

However, when they thought of the Temple of the Stars standing behind them, and the many sisters who were standing, they were all eagerly looking forward to the triumph, and their confidence arose.

Vanessa's composure, bordering on indifference. But that doesn't mean her heart isn't fluctuating.

With excellent vision, she has already captured a familiar person - long green hair, which is still fresh in her memory. It was at a banquet where the infidels had fled because of the mercy of her men.

Leah also shows up at the banquet and drives away in the wee hours of the morning.

At this moment, everything is clear.

It turned out that they had already colluded, planned the assassination together, and used the identity of Sir to leave the Duke's Palace smoothly, which led to the search of the whole city to nothing.

I see.

Under the half-covered helmet, the well-defined red lips hooked up a sneer.

Defeated!

In the kingdom of Tia, the political situation is turbulent, the orcs are raging, and the infidels are taking advantage of the fire to rob. As a princess, she sees everything in her eyes and hates it more than anyone else.

He hated the orcs, he hated the infidels, and even the dying lion, her father.

Growing up in the court, he should have been carefree more than any child. However, in her childhood, all she saw was the two elder brothers fighting openly and secretly, and her father's liking of the new and hating the old, and being deaf and incompetent.

is the most ruthless emperor's family, and the eldest prince was born to the original queen. But soon, he received the king's snub and died of depression. After a few crocodile tears, the second queen soon ascended to the throne.

Within a few years, the second queen was again snubbed. But she did not die depressed, and was secretly executed in a top-secret court scandal.

Finally, there was Vanessa and Sterling's mother, a gentle, talented aristocratic girl, who was only 16 years old and the king was in his forties.

After Vanessa was born, even her mother snubbed her, intentionally or unintentionally. It wasn't until much later that she knew that it wasn't a marriage that you and I wanted, and her mother's childhood sweetheart's lover committed suicide after she entered the palace.

In her childhood memories, her mother spent her days sullen and washed her face with tears. Including the birth of his younger brother, nothing has changed.

From then on, she and her brother depended on each other in the cold court. Until one day, the old male lion was out of breath even when he ascended the throne.

The full-fledged brothers are no longer limited to secretly fighting for power and profit, and they use despicable means to the extreme.

Vanessa, who is extremely sensitive to danger, decides to stand up and protect her brother. Her qualifications are excellent, her heart is as strong as iron, and she is even better than her two brothers in knighthood.

Until Vanessa, who had become a glorious Templar, still had a belief in her heart, above the Holy Spirit, buried deep in her heart.

Sterling, her younger brother.

Regarding the battle for the throne, regardless of the victory of the elder brother, Sterling, who also has the right to inherit, will become a potential threat.

Vanessa knows this, so she came to Waterdeep not only to take refuge, but also to have a deeper plan.

It's just that the development of events has exceeded her expectations.

The sudden rise of the Blackstone Collar caused so much trouble that it was impossible to concentrate the full power of the Church and firmly control the military power through the war to destroy the orcs.

Therefore, these captured Templars and Holy Spirit Knights are extremely important to her.

If you can redeem them smoothly, you will have the opportunity to control them.

However, the attitude of the Messenger of Mercy, for some reason, does not seem to approve of the exchange of young slaves for captives.

Yes, nearly 4,000 slaves is a huge number for the kingdom. It is almost certain that it will greatly increase the strength of the Blackstone Collar.

You must know that almost all of Blackstone's army is composed of civilians, but it has extremely strong combat effectiveness.

This is perhaps the main reason why the Messenger of Mercy has hinted at refusal and delayed negotiations.

Why didn't Vanessa know?

But she was not reconciled, unwilling to let the elite power of hundreds of churches be buried in prison, draining her will and betraying her faith.

A way to get the best of both worlds is needed.

At a very small price, or a price that Lia could not refuse, in exchange for a high return.

Seems unlikely?

As the distance approached, in the golden pupils under the helmet, the figures of Leah and Xia Qiya became clear.

With fluttering red hair and a solemn heavy armor, judging by her appearance, she didn't seem to be much different from an ordinary knight, and did not show any noteworthy characteristics.

But Xia Qiya seemed to be arrogant, with sword-like eyes, locked on herself.

It was a desire for the First World War.

The desire to wash away shame.

Sharp and eager, undisguised.

Interesting.

"Your Highness, here it is. Prepare in a hurry, please Your Highness Haihan. ”

A white wool carpet, a clean and shiny oak round table, and chairs inlaid with several jewels. Sir Heller racked his brains to greet Her Royal Highness, but he could only barely make up these things.

But in front of Her Royal Highness the Princess, it is still too shabby.

This made Heller feel ashamed.

Her Royal Highness the princess bowed her head slightly, and did not care about the shabby decorations, because she had no intention of really disembarking to negotiate at all, and Le Ma bypassed the negotiation table and waited quietly for the meeting.

Heller looked at Her Royal Highness the princess strangely, her face full of confusion, and she could only follow her behind, and her heart was full of confusion, completely unable to predict the princess's next decision.

"Leah, do you see? that glittering golden lump, she deliberately came to scare us. ”

For the princess's blind equipment, Xia Qiya became more and more uncomfortable the more she looked at it, and there was always a kind of desire to flatten her, and it was best to peel off all the equipment of that sassy bag.

"It was the armor that had been told, and it shone with the light of atonement. Leah whispered that she had seen descriptions of the Templars in the Church's texts, this time with her own eyes.

"Atonement for the sins of a fart. Even though it was very close, Xia Qiya still spat on the ground angrily: "Liya, we can't fall into the majesty of the Black Stone Collar and lose the glory of the Temple of the Stars. The six-legged military horse you summoned opened her eyes too. ”

Indeed, gold represents authority, and Her Royal Highness the Princess can go faster, and then stop, looking like she is waiting for her subjects to see, very arrogant.

"No problem. The corners of Leah's mouth curled slightly, the Chaos Knights were not inferior to the Templars.

The magic power in his body began to boil, and the strong military horse under his crotch was immediately filled with a heavy black mist, and his eyes also jumped out of the white flames nearly two feet high.

Now that Leah is blessed by the equipment, her magic is surging, and the six-legged divine horse is also more powerful and more miraculous.

From a distance, the six-legged divine horse seemed to be slowly coming from the abyss, and the black and white chaotic aura lingered with each other. Then, Leah also took out the artifact - the Oath Strike, the black light flickered, and the aura was fierce, setting off Riah's majesty and strength.

Heller was taken aback, and at this time, Leah's temperament had changed drastically, and in addition to the terrifying deterrent, there was also a terrifying sense of mystery.

It turns out that she has been hiding all along, hiding the power from the demons!

From his vantage point, it was obvious that Her Royal Highness had straightened her waist, and she seemed to be very surprised by the change in Leah.

Heller felt the pressure come crashing in.

Templars.

Chaos Knight.

The first official meeting.

Two completely different war horses, each with a majestic god, the female knight on the horse each holding a spear, looking at each other, for a while, the momentum is not divided between the top and the bottom, between the two.

"Hope you brought the answers we wanted. ”

Liya didn't want to lose to her in momentum, so she spoke first, in an indifferent tone.

"Heh......" Her Royal Highness the Princess let out a chuckle, and her tone was equally cold: "The answer I brought is not necessarily what you want, but it must be something you must accept." ”

Leah frowned, aware of her arrogance and confidence.

Xia Qiya, who had long seen the princess unpleasantly, snorted coldly: "Don't sell it, you know me, and I know you." But I still want to thank you, it was your sword that opened a new world for me. ”

The princess glanced at her, ignored her, and looked directly at Leah: "Time is precious, I don't want to waste it." I'm not here to negotiate. ”

"That's a fight?" Xia Qiya was unhappy with her ignorance.

"There will be that day. Her Royal Highness the Princess sneered: "But not today!"

Her Royal Highness the princess does have an innate arrogance that cannot be cultivated overnight.

"What exactly are you here for?"

"A deal, a deal you can't refuse. ”

"Tell me about it. ”

"You return all the captives, and I will give you a gift in return. Cesar Collar, the Borla family. ”

"What?" said Lia.

Heller on the side was even more shocked by lightning strikes.

"The entire people of the Sesa Territory, including the Borla family, are my return gift. Her Royal Highness the princess looked like she was smiling: "You can choose to refuse the transaction, then, the first vanguard to attack the Blackstone Territory is the Knights of Cesar." ”

Leah's thoughts were instantly disrupted, and her breath became short.

The princess's meaning is obvious, using Cesar as a ransom to redeem the Templars and the Holy Knights. If she refuses, then Cesar will be sent to the battlefield as a revenant.

Cesar's territory is only a small territory, and there are less than a thousand people, including women, children, and children. Compared to 4,000 slaves in the prime of life, it cannot be compared.

But could she refuse?
