Alina looked at the big man in front of her and smiled coldly: "Negotiation? The premise of the negotiation is that everyone treats us fairly, and I am telling the truth about our side, but what about you, you are not honest with the person you are about to negotiate with, which inevitably makes people doubt your sincerity. ”

"Oh? How so? Senas asked with a smile as he ruffled his fiery red hair.

"This road is very remote and difficult to travel, and I would never have chosen to take it if it had not been for the sights and ears of the Tyrs. And according to our recent reconnaissance, the Tyrean rebels rarely sent patrols on this road, so how could there suddenly be more than five hundred troops? What's more, as far as I can see, these five hundred men are not all, and I am afraid that there are many more troops behind the ridge. If I'm not mistaken, you're also on a secret mission, and the destination may also be Port Portsmo. If that's what I'm surmising, then we should talk about collaboration, not the help you rhetoric. ”

Tatar was speechless, and the countess in front of him was obviously not inferior to Xenas. She had obviously realized this a long time ago, but she kept pretending to be ignorant to lower her guard, and waited until she revealed her purpose before telling the story, which caught her side off guard. All of a sudden, the previous disadvantage was reversed.

Hearing this, Cynas laughed and said, "Yes, Miss Earl is really smart, I like you more and more." Since you've guessed everything, then I'm not going to talk nonsense, let's join forces to capture Port Portsmo, and then take what we need, how about it? ”

Alina sneered, glanced at Xenas with her characteristic charming eyes, and said, "Then it depends on how much you can help, we can accomplish this task on our own." It is up to you to prove your worth. ”

"It doesn't sound like a man at a disadvantage, Miss Count." Unmoved, Xenas looked at Alina with a squint, and spat out the utter of a sentence that did not match his expression at all.

Port Portsmo.

The port has become quite depressed in recent months. Due to the activity of the bandit army in the Tiers Mountains, it was cut off from the Tiers Mountains and the Palci trade routes. In addition, there was a caravan before, which was still attacked by thieves under the escort of the official army, all the supplies were looted, and the official army was completely wiped out, and Andermesius, the prefect of Potsmo, decided not to allow any caravans to leave Portsmo Harbor again. As a result, the commercial activities of the port of Portsmo were completely interrupted, and the fleet left the port one after another, so the port of Portsmo was depressed and the people were scattered. Andermitheus was also helpless about this, if the Yaqui army could not put down the rebellion as soon as possible, the situation in Port Portsmo could not be changed, and with his current remaining forces, it would be difficult for the Yaqui to maintain control of the port, let alone protect the caravan.

Andermisius did not do nothing, and these days he organized all the men of Port Portsmo to fortify the fortifications. Although things went well, Andermitheus noticed the worry on the faces of the people who came to help, although there was a good reward for helping to build the fortifications, but the faces of these people were full of panic about the future of this port, and think about it, so many castles with high and deep pools fell into the hands of the thief army, not to mention the port of Portsmo, which did not have many city defense facilities in the first place. If a fleet had come to this port now, I am afraid that most of the population would have chosen to flee the area. There was nothing Andermetheus could do about this, because to be honest he didn't want to stay here himself, and it was only because of his reserve as a Yaqui official that he was prevented from putting this idea into practice.

The declining port has made supplies scarce, but Andermitheus himself is not bothered by this predicament. Andermitheus drank wine from Frank and looked out the window of his residence at the sea outside the harbor.

"I wish I could have a Yaki ship pick me up." Undermitheus unconsciously uttered his thoughts.

"Master, the little one has something to do." A voice rang out outside the door.

Realizing his gaffe, Undermitheus coughed to hide his mood swings, and then asked, "Is it Milour?" What's up? ”

"Exactly the little one, master. Someone just came to report that a caravan of Palci had come from outside the port. ”

"What? Palci caravanserais! Andermitheus was taken aback: "How did they get here?" ”

"The little ones don't know, the soldiers guarding the door ask the adults if they want to let them in." Miloul Road.

Andrometheus pondered for a moment and said, "I'll go and see for myself." ”

Andermitheus was not stupid, and it was very doubtful that he would escape the eyes of the thieves and come to Port Portsmo in this situation.

Andermetheus stood on the makeshift tower and looked down, only to see a caravan of about 100 people standing at the gate of the city, as well as nearly eighty other carts. At the head was a young woman in a purple power suit, looking at herself with a smile, and Andermetheus instantly felt an electric current flash through his heart, and that seductive look was not something that anyone could resist.

Andermetheus swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said with some trembling, "You said that you are a caravan from Parchi, what is the evidence?" ”

Alina smiled, "This Lord must be Lord Andermetheus, right?" It's a blessing. Below is Count, Palciloline, Arina. I was leading not an ordinary caravan of Parchi, but a caravan of the royal family of Parchi, and I had a permit signed by His Majesty the King. ”

"The royal caravan of Palci? Then I beg your pardon for being rude, Miss Countess. Take a priori a look at your license below. In addition, I would like to ask two questions, first, what kind of cargo is being transported in your fleet? Second, now that the Tiers Mountains have been occupied by bandits, how did you get here? ”

Alina nodded and said, "No problem, just ask the adults to send someone to get the permit for inspection." I can answer those two questions, adults. Our shipment this time is not ordinary cargo, and His Majesty the King estimates that the port of Portsmo has been locked down, so I have sent eighty cartloads of grain in exchange for some supplies that are not needed by your port for the time being but which our country needs. We had been preparing for this operation for a long time, and found a path that the thieves did not patrol often, and from there we walked day and night, successfully avoiding the sight of the thieves, and it took us thirteen days to get here. ”

Andermetheus carefully observed Arina's words and actions, and saw that she spoke fluently, full of confidence and exhaustion after days of hard work, and it did not look like nonsense. Immediately ordered Millor to go down to the castle tower and get the permit back, and Undermitheus carefully examined the permit, and it was indeed issued by the royal family of Palci. He also sent soldiers out of the city to check the cart, which was indeed loaded with grain and grass. Only then did Andermisius relax and ordered the city to be opened and Alina and her crew to enter the city.

Andromitheus personally walked down the tower to welcome Alina into the city, after all, the other party's food and grass can temporarily relieve the urgent need of Port Portsmo, which is quite useful for stabilizing people's hearts, and it is reasonable to express it. The other reason, of course, was that Arina's eyes gave him an urge to take a closer look.

"Thank you for the king of your country for lending a helping hand at this time, the times are difficult, I have to be more careful in the future, and I ask Miss Earl to forgive me for the previous rudeness."

"Master Andrometheus is too polite. You're doing your duty, it's a must, and if you let us in without asking, I'll look down on you. Alina said with a smile as she looked Undermetheus up and down.

Her sultry eyes made Andermetheus shudder slightly, and in an instant he felt a stream of hot blood rush into his lower body.
