Dupra reported back that Blackwater already knew the true purpose of the Aev negotiations, and Ayev was startled at first and then began to think seriously about his problem.

The Blackwater soldiers were known throughout Southeast Asia, and even the Dutch and Spaniards hired them as famous mercenaries to conquer the region.

What's more, Ayev, a nobleman of Landak, can not only get more and better items in addition to his name, but also get the most useful first piece of information.

The proposal to put the entire defense and diplomacy in the hands of Blackwater, and have Blackwater act as the security of Landak, is actually nothing, because Blackwater does not restrict Ayev from having his own army, they just need to pay a mercenary fee.

However, for an ambitious guy, having such a strong army by his side is probably also a threat, as long as one of them is disobedient, it is estimated that the other party will not mind changing to another person to become the Sultan of Landak.

This person can be his own son, or other ambitious nobles, anyway, Landak does not lack such a sultan, what he lacks is a supporter with sufficient strength.

In the case of the current sultan, his throne is not too orthodox, but his grandfather relied on the support of his powerful clan to seize the throne of the previous sultan.

So Ayef has such an idea is actually not exaggerated or heretical, in these small Muslim countries, the Sultan is often replaced, as long as you have enough strength, the position of the Sultan is yours.

Ayef's tribe has multiplied over the decades and has reached a point where its population is almost as large as the current sultan, so even if Ayef doesn't think so, the rest of the clan will think the same way.

Becoming the first tribe of Landak will bring greater power than other tribes, and all resources will be inclined to them, so Ayev's ambition can actually be said to be inseparable from interests.

Now that Blackwater already knows. It would obviously be unwise to continue the rebellion at this time, and if you don't agree to their conditions, you can imagine what the consequences will be, and it is inevitable that you will join forces with the Sultan to suppress yourself.

"Dupra, how do you think I should make a choice, agree to Blackwater's conditions, the chance of success must be 100%, but this will also bury a hidden danger for ourselves, as long as we don't obey their arrangements in the future, they will never mind replacing us."

In fact, Ayeve's heart is very conflicted. On the one hand, he has become the sultan admired by all the people in Landak, and on the other hand, he is likely to become a puppet, and many things are not something he can control, so what is the point of such a sultan doing it.

"General, if we don't agree to Blackwater, even if we give up this opportunity, I'm afraid the Sultan won't let us go, and now we are the biggest in the tribe of Landak, and it is inevitable that the Sultan will suppress us, so I think. Or agree to Blackwater's request, because at least we can guarantee that the tribal army we ourselves say is still in our hands, and this is the foundation of our existence. ”

More than 5,000 tribal armies in Ayev's hands. It can be said that he can become an important sword for the Sultan, and this army must not be ruled by others.

Agree, or not, the situation that Ayev will face will not be so easy. The Sultan has become concerned about their tribe and has been looking for a reason to weaken them if Blackwater releases news of their rebellion. I'm afraid that the Sultan will definitely seize this opportunity to make a big fuss.

There is another important reason, the reason why Heishui has not taken the offensive is completely waiting for reinforcements to arrive, Heishui alone has made Ayev's troops suffer a lot of losses due to the combat ability of these two hundred people, once more reinforcements arrive, I am afraid that the whole army may be wiped out, and once the whole army is wiped out, the blow to the tribe is equivalent to extermination.

This 5,000-strong army can be said to be almost all the young men of Ayef's tribe, and once these people who can go to war are dead, the Sultan can divide and disintegrate his tribe with almost no army.

"Okay, we'll agree to Blackwater's terms," Ayeve's eyes closed for a moment, as if he had made an important decision, as a fraction of the clan, he could not see the clan being divided and disintegrated at his own hands, which would make his family a sinner, the object of everyone's revilation.

"Your Excellency, General, you really agreed." Dupra asked cautiously, for as he knew that the tribal leader was not the kind of person who would be willing to be a puppet of others, but an ambitious leader, whose ideals were not only to make the tribe strong, but also to make Landak the most powerful sultanate.

"Yes, Dupra, Blackwater's reinforcements have arrived, if we don't make a decision, I'm afraid we will have fewer opportunities, and even Blackwater doesn't have to pay attention to our thoughts at all, as long as they attack directly in our rear with a wave of their army, we, even Landak, will become a piece of history, just like those tribes along the coast, and become vassals of the Dutch."

Ayev thought very clearly, Blackwater's mercenaries had landed in Kalimantan, and they had not yet reached the location of the United City, and once they arrived, they would definitely not be negotiating with themselves, and with Blackwater's belligerent inertia, it would inevitably be a killing.

How could his own army compete with Blackwater's army, even the Sultan's army may not have this strength, so the decision must be made early, and once the meeting is missed, there is no need to talk about it.

In the face of Blackwater's reinforcements, Ayef still had to bear considerable pressure, after all, his troops were on the first front, and the losses they would suffer would be several times that of the troops controlled by Sudan.

After listening to Ayev's analysis, Dupra felt that it was quite reasonable, it was true, Blackwater can talk now completely because the reinforcements have not arrived, and it will not be this face when it arrives, I am afraid that when I want to talk about it, I will directly ignore it.

In that case, everything must be negotiated before reinforcements arrive, and when Blackwater's reinforcements arrive they will be a strong arm of General Ayev, not a powerful army that will destroy him soon.

"General, I'm going to United City to pass your word on to the officers of Blackwater, hoping that their reinforcements haven't arrived yet." Dupra volunteered to negotiate, because it was certain that after this time, Ayef would become the Sultan, and as one of Ayef's entourage, it would be too late to talk about it at this time.
