Chapter 143 II Negotiations

Deguzorff was a little laughed at the request of the Palcian to make representations. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

As the commander of the Frankish army, accepting the request for representation from the envoy of the Palchi State in the land of Paz is a bit embarrassing in any case. And it stands to reason that if the Palchi country has a request for negotiation, it should go directly to the Holy See to find Magarn, why should he go to the land of Paz to find himself?

Deguzorf immediately thought of the reason behind this, the other party obviously did not come to negotiate, but to spy on the military intelligence of the Frankish army. Of course, Deguzolf had already learned of the news that Palermodala had been beaten by Palci on the Sea of Dicchiel, and he was so angry that he turned the table full of wine and food upside down. He didn't dare to imagine what terrible consequences would come to his army by provoking Palch at such a time, but what was the use of being angry, it had already happened, and even if he wanted to make up for it, he had to do it step by step. Now that this may be an opportunity, Palci has sent an emissary to spy on the military, and it is more reliable to control the situation on his own than to leave his fate to someone else. Thinking of this, Deguzorf ordered the messenger of Palch to be brought to his camp.

By the time the messenger of Palci arrived, the camp of Deguzolf had been fully dressed, and all the members of the Knights of the Holy Hammer had gathered here, each of whom was dressed in bright and shiny armor, splendid robes, and sharp swords, and stood in line to greet the messenger of Palci.

The purpose of this was nothing more than to show the Palci envoys the strength of the Frankish army, so that they would feel that it would be too expensive to fight with Frank, so that they could carefully consider the relationship between the two countries. In fact, if he knew the identity of the Palci emissary, then he would know that there was no point in doing so. Because the envoys sent by Palci this time were Senas and Alam, who had sent Frank and had fought with many Frank warriors, Deguzorf's set had almost no deterrent effect on the two battle-hardened warriors.

Senas and Alam looked at each other and smiled, and then walked into Deguzorf's tent with a loud voice.

"Count of Parchisenas, Viscount Aram greets Her Royal Highness Archduke Miranda on behalf of Her Majesty Queen Alfret and Her Royal Highness Prince Dils." Senas bowed to Deguzorff.

Deguzorff looked at the strong man in front of him, there were few burly people like Senas in Frank's country. With many years of experience, Deguzorf noticed that the two envoys in front of him were terrible brave men, so he got up and saluted back: "Thank you for the greetings of Her Majesty the Queen and Her Royal Highness the Prince, please be seated, two lords." ”

Senas and Aram were not polite either, and took their respective seats. Before Deguzorf could speak, Senas spoke first: "There is no need to say polite words. I have come this time to seek an answer from you, the Grand Duke, on behalf of your Majesty, and whatever your reply may be, we will bring this news back to my Majesty. ”

The other party was so straightforward, but it made Deguzolf a little surprised, so he smiled: "I don't know what question the queen of your country wants to ask?" ”

Senas said: "Presumably, the Grand Duke, you also know that not long ago, your army, under the cover of a huge fleet, brazenly invaded our territory, which is obviously a violation of the covenant between your country and our country. It was only our army that dispersed your fleet after fighting back, but the 18,000 soldiers who invaded our country were taken prisoner. According to the interrogation, these troops were originally intended to serve under the command of the Grand Duke. I would like to ask the Grand Duke about the disposition of these prisoners, do you want our country to return these soldiers to you, or do you wish to return them to your country? ”

Dhguzorf was shocked when he heard this, and he knew in his heart that Senas's words were not simply for the sake of the disposition of these prisoners, but meant something else. At this time, he secretly regretted in his heart - he really shouldn't have put on a strong military appearance. Originally, he thought that this would deter the other party's envoys, but he didn't expect that the other party didn't intend to talk to him about whether to go to war at all, but was hinting that his Palchi army had the ability to directly pull over from the land to flank his own army with the Paz Empire, and at the same time, he also had the ability to directly attack the Frankish mainland with a strong naval military force. The result of showing off his might in front of the other party is equivalent to telling Palch that the elite of the Frank country is all in the territory of Paz, and the rear is in a very empty state, if Palch really attacks his own land at this time, then he will also lose the supply of the rear, and it is a question whether the 300,000 troops in a foreign country can return to Frank alive!

Although he was surprised in his heart, there was no show on Deguzorf's face, he just smiled bitterly and said, "I have heard about this matter that Lord Count said. In my opinion, there must have been some misunderstanding that led our soldiers to make a mistake in landing on the territory of your country. I hope that Her Majesty the Queen will send an envoy to make solemn representations with our country to ascertain the causes and consequences of this matter, and I believe that it will not be our intention to make an enemy of your country. As for the soldiers who landed by mistake, I hope that your country will return them to Zaixia, thank you for taking care of these soldiers, and as for all the expenses incurred by these people these days, they will be borne by Zaixia, and I hope that Her Majesty the Queen of your country will return these soldiers as soon as possible, and Zai Xia will be very grateful. ”

Hearing this, Senas looked Deguzorf up and down carefully, then stood up and saluted, "His Royal Highness the Grand Duke really lives up to his reputation. I will relay your words to my Lord Your Majesty, and then I will take my leave. ”

With that, Senas gestured to Alam, who stood up and walked out together.

"The two adults have come from afar, and the friendship of the landlord has not yet been fulfilled, please stay and use some water and wine before leaving." DΔ«guzorff tract.

Hearing this, Alam stopped and turned back and said, "Your Royal Highness, your answer is very appropriate, it is their blessing for the Frank army to have such a command as you. But let me say that these eighteen thousand captives are of no personal value to me, but when they return to your hands, things will be different. Because 18,000 heads is no small feat. Or to put it more seriously, 300,000 heads is a bigger feat. Neither Senas nor I want to sit down with potential rivals and have a drink, or even become friends, that would not be a good thing for both of us. Thank you for your kindness and hope we can see you again! ”

With that, Alam turned around and strode to follow Senas.

"This threat is much more straightforward than I am." Dguzolf muttered. He knew that Alam's words were not a bluff, and today Deguzorf had a deep understanding of the fact that the Palchi army was not easy to deal with, especially when their generals were so belligerent.
