The war is over. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

After nightfall, the Irish coalition began to build a fortification early, light fires and cook, treat the wounded and sick, gather the defeated army, and so on...... However, even with so much to do, the Earl of Little Tang still allocated some soldiers who still had physical strength to patrol outside the barracks constantly to prevent King William from sneaking up at night.

Although, he knew that nine out of ten of them were doing useless work.

He didn't know who King William was, but just by relying on rumors, he could understand that he was a very sober and authoritarian person, and once such a person made a decision, it was definitely not easy to change. Besides, what good will it do him to continue to fight with the Earl of Don Jr. and the Irish coalition?

But Count Xiao Tang still did it, not afraid of ten thousand, just in case, there is no harm, and this is also a reminder to him.

Remind him not to be too proud.

The increase in grain production, the completion of Qin Zhidao, and the support of the people, as well as the merits of successive victories over two dukes, even because he had money and soldiers, even the Vikings did not dare to do anything with him, even if he was captured, they treated him politely. Undoubtedly, all of this fueled his pride, and some of the time-traveler's thoughts of 'destiny' almost lost him.

Fortunately, King William's beating woke him up completely.

"It's still too tender......"

Looking up at the bright moon in the sky, Count Tang sighed to himself.

"No, I don't think there's anything wrong with it, you're still young, you have time to make mistakes, and you have the opportunity to correct your mistakes, but at my age, you don't have that chance anymore."

Patriarch Olaf, who quietly came behind Count Xiao Tang at some point, heard Count Xiao Tang's emotion and couldn't help but persuade. When Earl Tang heard the voice, he realized that there were still people around him, and hurriedly put away the sad emotions just now, turned his head and said.

"Patriarch Olaf, why are you here? I thought you were drinking in your tent! ”

"Just let those bunnies drink!" Olaf patriarch shook his head with a wry smile: "When I was young, I was not happy with alcohol, but after becoming the patriarch, the survival of the entire tribe was pressed on me alone, coupled with the shortage of food, where do I dare to drink, and now I dare not touch a drop of wine unless there is some great joy."

Count Don knew that this passage of Patriarch Olaf was not only his emotion about life, but also for the sake of inviting merit - I took such a big risk and ran into the chaos with a few clansmen to help you bring victory, you should always express it, right?

That's right, the army that came out of nowhere was none other than Patriarch Olaf and his people. At the beginning, the patriarch and Count Xiao Tang agreed to kidnap a few shipbuilding veterans from Scandinavia to Count Xiao Tang, and they would come back half a year later, and it was summer when they left, and now it is November, which happens to be this time.

At that time, Patriarch Olaf sailed to Moe Island, originally wanting to replenish fresh water and food, but found that Moe Island had been captured by Count Don Jr., and got the news that Count Don Jr. was about to fight King William. The patriarch thought for a long time and decided to ...... Go south to the rescue!

The icing on the cake is far less than charcoal in the snow, and only friendship forged with blood is the strongest, which is the most important thing for the Olaf patriarch, who still counted on the Count of Don Jr. to provide him with food, clothing, or other necessities of life.

And now, his risky gamble will also be rewarded in the best way.

No matter what the motive of the Olaf patriarch is, this kindness is firmly remembered by Count Tang, no matter what, with a team of less than 200 people to attack the enemy's army, this kind of courage and dedication is worthy of Count Tang's admiration.

So, that's what Count Don Jr. said to Patriarch Olaf at that time.

"Patriarch, I dare not forget this kindness of yours, I can't guarantee anything, but as long as I am alive, you will be Desmond's friend."

The reason why we don't talk about what kind of preferential treatment and what kind of conditions to give is because everyone is friends, and it is too angry to talk about such things between friends, and even if we want to talk, it should be on a formal occasion, and at this time it is like something to say.

Patriarch Olaf, the elf, could naturally hear the meaning of Count Xiaotang's words, and at that time he smiled, and the two of them raised their heads to look at the moon like this, until the knights who had drunk too much dragged the two of them to pour wine.

The next morning, the Earl of Don, who was still sore to death, heard that King William's messenger had arrived.

The envoy is the unknown diplomat No. 1, and the current diplomacy of the European continent is still quite simple, even if it is equivalent to a major event between the two countries, it is solved by a diplomat who can speak well and can speak.

At this point, Count Xiao Tang thinks it is still very good, at least it can save a lot of money - not to mention anything else, Huhula a large diplomatic corps is coming, and people can't treat them badly, so they can't be poor.

King William's treaty was simple: a truce, no reopening of the war for five years, an exchange of prisoners, a resumption of trade, and then each returned to the area of control before the war, with no mention of war reparations or cession of territory.

Of course, this is impossible, in the final analysis, this war ended because King William took the initiative to retreat, not because the Earl of Don Jr. won, which is equivalent to the 'undefeated' of others' charity, under this premise, there is really no room for any more conditions on the side of the Irish coalition.

"Well, we agree to your conditions."

At that time, Count Xiao Tang looked at the parchment brought by the envoy, and almost didn't swallow his old breath, for this war has been delayed for so long, so many people have died, and such a heavy price has been paid, you just tell me that this is it?

But the Earl of Kildel and the Earl of Osoruny on the side were desperately staring at each other, asking the Count of Little Tang to quickly agree to this treaty, looking at them like that, if it weren't for the fact that Count Xiao Tang was the leader of the alliance and showed the most powerful force, they would all be eager to kick Count Xiao Tang away and sign it. Without him, they were really afraid of King William. Count Xiao Tang frowned hatefully, and had the heart to refuse, but he was afraid that the Normans would really be ruthless, and his hometown would not care about the flying dragon and change his home, and finally he was ready to soften.

By the afternoon, the treaty had been written in duplicate, and in the center of the entire battlefield, King William, with his generals and the archbishop, and the Earl of Don Jr., with his two counts and knights, met there.

Speaking of which, this was the first time the two of them had met, King William was surprised by the youth of Count Don Jr., but Count Don Jr. was also surprised by King William's youth, and he didn't mean to be an old man in his fifties at all.

Under the crucifix (courtesy of the Archbishop of Canterbury), an armistice was signed, and everyone was thunderous, both those who had the upper hand and those who had the upper hand, and they all sighed that finally, this damn war was over.

Originally, after the signing of the armistice treaty, there should be a banquet to celebrate, but at the moment there is no such condition in the wilderness. The Norman army was like an arrow, and they only wanted to return to Normandy as soon as possible, but the Irish coalition army was also afraid of each other and did not dare to stay here, so this banquet could not be held.

However, despite this, King William picked an opportunity to invite the Earl of Don Jr. to his side.

"Lord Earl......"

Hearing such a request, the knight of Orcoba, who accompanied him, almost drew his sword from its sheath - but fortunately he held back. Earl Don shook his hand, signaling that he didn't need to say anything, this place was originally an open area, both sides had already withdrawn their soldiers, and King William only brought three people, but the Irish coalition army was a big group, and all the earl knights came, and they were already weaker than each other in terms of momentum.

Besides, even if King William wants to make trouble, Earl Don, a young and strong young man, can't beat an old man in his fifties? If you bring bodyguards or something, it will make people laugh at it.

"Don't worry, Knights Alcoba, I'm in charge."

Count Don said this, and then walked up to King William, who smiled when he saw it, and made a gesture of invitation, and the two of them left one after the other, and then they didn't know what they were talking about......
