Chapter 320: Diplomatic Disputes

"Your job is actually really about luck, what was the big man with centipede scars on his face before, what was Benny's? He just wore my lucky rabbit's feet, and the next day he dug up such a big treasure chest at Firestone Farm! ”

To prove the value of his giveaway, the salesperson drew the shape of a box as tall as a wine barrel.

“...... Oh! Thank you! I get it! The mercenaries hurriedly thanked them, they do this kind of work of licking blood with a knife head, in fact, they are somewhat superstitious, many times it is better to believe it than not to believe it, it is better to carry it than not to bring it!

Unconsciously, a proposition of the relevance of treasure and metaphysics began to spread in a small area in the Western Plague Lands.

Some people say that they will dig up treasures as long as they blacken their two front teeth when they go out, some people say that you must first step on your left foot to find treasures when you go out, and there are even sayings that you leave one hand in the bath without washing, anyway, there is everything.

Just like the Gold Rush in the Americas, with the arrival of a large number of mercenaries in the Western Plaguelands, the region's economy developed in a deformed way.

Throughout March of Black Gate 21, in addition to the coronation and the development of the Western Plaguelands, Vanessa spent the rest of her time doing one thing, and that was to expand her army.

The First Legion had always been full of 8,000 men before, this was the most loyal to Vanessa's old troops, she transferred some of the elite to join the second and third legions, and then filled in some new soldiers, which was considered to have replenished the three main legions to a full state of 8,000 men.

It's just that the horses of the cavalry regiment of the Second Army are still not enough, and now it can only be half cavalry and half infantry.

Vanessa appointed the commander of the Fourth Legion, Vademall, as the supreme commander of the defense forces of the royal capital of Lordaeron, and this legion would henceforth be responsible for the security of the royal capital.

In order to distinguish the rest of the troops, the armor, boots, and hand armor of these soldiers were black, and the soldiers would tie thick wool when they were on duty in the city, and they would be specially dyed into golden robes, so they received the common name of "golden robes" among the citizens.

The golden robe was responsible for the security of the royal capital, and the number was maintained at the level of 4,000 people.

The Fifth and Sixth Legions were replenished, each with one and a half thousand recruits, and the number of soldiers in both legions reached seven thousand.

The Seventh Legion, transformed from the original Silver Dawn soldiers, proved its loyalty, replenishing its strength with a thousand soldiers, bringing it to a full strength of eight thousand.

At this point, Lordaeron's official soldiers reached 50,000.

If you add the Duke of Ravenhold's semi-independent Eighth Legion and navy, the number of soldiers in Lordaeron is nearly sixty thousand.

At the beginning of April, Vanessa took her eyes off the military when she received Darius, who had come to ask for help, in the palace. Lorna, daughter of Crowley. Cloley and Liam, Prince of Gilneth. Greyman.

After just talking to the two for a long time, Vanessa blew them away, and the two children are not qualified to talk about affairs with her dignified regent Lordaeron, in exchange for your father!

In fact, the so-called "two children" are older than her, but this has nothing to do with age, it has to do with position! She can be this senior now, don't come if you have the ability, you keep fighting behind closed doors!

After two trials back and forth, and some envoys were sent to discuss specific defensive measures, on April 9, 21 year of the Black Gate, King of Gilnehs, the old and strong. Greymane arrives in the royal capital of Lordaeron.

"Even Terenus II would not dare to order me that!" The old man was dressed in a military uniform, with a heavy sword and a firearm hanging from his waist, his hair was a little gray, and his expression was grim, and as soon as the two sides met, the old man showed an aggressive edge, which did not match the inherent rumors within the alliance about his cowardice and timidity.

He originally wanted to be tougher, but he didn't know why, looking at Vanessa's smiling expression, he was a little flustered, he would never admit that he would be afraid of a junior who was not as old as his son, but the trembling feeling was still very clear.

He has no brains, otherwise he would not have ruled Gilneth for so many years, let alone on the premise that his side already has an advantage, he will not fight against the rebel lord Darius. Crowley sends a message of peace. He wanted to end the civil war in Gilnehs, which was meaningless, especially since he heard that Lordaeron had been restored, and he was even more determined to make a total truce.

Lordaeron and Gilneth were so close that they had never been allies, and they had been at war a lot before the Black Gate opened, and the relationship between the two countries was slightly better after that, but it was definitely not goodwill.

"With all due respect, Your Majesty, you have a certain trait, a very interesting trait."

Vanessa didn't say much, just nodded lightly, and then changed the subject, and after the normal welcome etiquette, she rode with Jean. Greymane walked around the city for a rough walk.

The next day, the great lord Darius, who was the leader of the rebels. Crowley also rushed to the royal capital of Lordaeron, and today, after eight months of fighting, the two sides used Lordaeron as an intermediary to start peace talks.

Grand Lord Darius. Crolley will not fall to her because he has made a few transactions with Vanessa, and he will bow down, and from then on the head of the horse is Jungan as a lackey of Lordaeron, which does not exist, he is from Gilneis, this life is, and the next life is also, this has nothing to do with the civil war or not, and even if he comes to Lordaeron today, it is more meaningful to use the pressure of morality and public opinion to force Vanessa to make concessions.

The three parties talked behind closed doors, Jean. Greymane didn't speak, but Darius. Crorey, a former ally, fired at Vanessa first.

"I think Lordaeron should return the land of the Silver Pines Forest to the Crowley family."

Vanessa glanced at the two of them strangely, and she quickly understood that the two of Gilneth should have had some kind of communication, which was bullying her youth and forcing the palace.

After a few seconds of silence, she thought about several possible scenarios, and then snorted softly: "When the undead were there, you hid behind the wall and shivered, and now that the undead have been destroyed by me, you jump out and say that you want to regain the lost ground?" The Great Lord is really a veritable Gilneth Tiger General! ”

Dalius. Crowley was furious, and he clenched his fists: "You dare to humiliate me? ”

"That's right, I'm just humiliating you, what's wrong? Where did you get the guts to ask Lordaeron for the Silver Pines Forest? We have defeated the undead and the forsaken, are we still afraid of you Gilnes? The civil war has been going on for so long, and you're running out of supplies, right? How many soldiers do you have combined? Is there thirty thousand? How much steel do you have? How much sulfur is there? You guys think it will take a few months for Lordaeron to wipe out Gilneth?! ”

Vanessa slapped the table and stood up angrily.

The two people on the opposite side also stood up with the same hatred, and the tension became at the first moment of the three-party meeting.
