Vanessa's 'deal' caught everyone present by surprise.

Her pride is in her bones. Decisive, ruthless, and not dragging mud and water, but from the momentum and logic, it exerts invisible pressure.

This is a kind of character that grows spontaneously in a special environment.

Even if Leah has an aura that rivals her, her character is not something that can be developed overnight.

A transaction.

Transactions that cannot be denied.

She wasn't lying.

"You can take them as a gift in return, or you can take them as a ransom. Doesn't matter. Vanessa had the advantage of momentum, but showed an unbearable coldness.

The Borla family, who guarded the Cesar territory for generations, paid taxes for the church and the kingdom, and guarded the frontiers. But in her mind, it was just a small bargaining chip.

Heller was depressed in his heart, he had considered many possible scenarios, but he never expected that Vanessa would take them as ransom.

Refuse?

There is no possibility.

During the critical period of power change in the kingdom, Vanessa was the supreme governor of Waterdeep, and also represented the highest majesty of the church.

Either way, he couldn't refuse.

Only obedience.

But the sadness of being abandoned is irrepressibly born from the bottom of my heart.

Vanessa didn't even ask for his opinion and was arbitrary.

Imperial princesses, Templars, and beloved disciples of the Messenger of Mercy represent the mercy and glory of the Holy Spirit, and the majesty and honor of the royal family.

At this moment, it collapsed.

It turned out that I was insignificant.

Yes, in Vanessa's mind, that's it. A small lord, counting their property and food, is only a drop in the bucket for the royal family.

In her plan, the entire Borla family will move to Daotan Town as a whole, and it doesn't matter where it is. People can go, property can go, but territory won't.

In the next step, she will completely turn Cesar's territory, which lies on the path between Daotan Town and Waterdeep, into a strong fortress and firmly control it.

As long as she gives an order, gold, food, troops, and everything needed will be delivered in a steady stream.

In fact, she made the arrangements before she left.

In other words, the deal is bound to be successful.

Leah's train of thought was completely disrupted, she really didn't expect that this princess was so cold-blooded, and Uncle Heller didn't do anything to be sorry for the church and the kingdom.

What is the reason?

Quite simply, the bond between the Borla family and the Sander family has led to the Borla family, who are stationed at the main transportation routes, and are destined not to be trusted by the church.

Chase out the Bora family and redeem the Templars.

Kill two birds with one stone.

What was supposed to be a negotiating table for the vanquished became a stage for Vanessa to show off her political skills.

Leah was convinced that the day after she refused, the entire César Knights would receive an order to immediately assemble and attack the Blackstone Lord.

What's the end?

Annihilated.

So how do the remaining Natalie and her mother, orphans and widows, guard the territory?

It's just another Blackstone Collar, and it will still be eaten away by the Church.

So, she really had no way to refuse.

"Uncle Heller. Lia sighed softly, looked at Heller with a dejected face, and felt helpless in her heart: "I need to ask for your opinion." ”

"I ...... I ......" Heller's throat was dry, but he couldn't speak.

Vanessa was still on the horse, shining with golden light, and said lightly: "Sir Bora, your two sons will be promoted to Holy Spirit Knights. ”

Heller was stunned again, not the slightest joy in his heart, but a nameless anger.

Once upon a time, it was his lifelong wish to train his two sons to become knights of the Holy Spirit, and it will surely become an indelible glory for the Borla family.

But I never expected it to be realized in this form.

The entire family migrated to the pagan lair, while the beloved son was promoted to the rank of Holy Spirit Knight.

What's next?

Meet on the battlefield.

How ironic.

Heller, who was like falling into an ice cellar, was shocked in his heart, and he figured it out.

Vanessa did not sacrifice to comfort him, but to take his son hostage, threatening him at all times, warning him at all times, so that he would never be of the same mind as Leah.

It's not ruthless anymore.

It's just vicious.

However, back to the same question.

Is it possible to refuse?

No.

If he refuses, his son will be immediately repatriated and join the conquest of the Blackstone Lord, cutting off the incense of the entire Borla family.

At this time, look at this golden light, like Her Royal Highness the Holy Princess.

Heller had nothing but fear in his heart.

"Despicable and shameless!" Xia Qiya hated it at all, Vanessa's intentions were too sinister, and the Bora family was a big trouble, unable to be of the same heart and mind as Leah.

"Leah, stop talking nonsense with her. When I see her, I want to cut her!" Xia Qiya coldly pulled out the terrifying fanatic blade on her back.

"Don't be impulsive!"

The blow of the oath stopped Xia Qia. No matter how angry you are in your heart, it is unwise to do it at this time, not to talk about whether you can fight or not, the end must be that the Borla family is implicated.

"Your Royal Highness, what a good means. A sneer tugged at the corner of Leah's mouth, and her heart was extremely angry: "As a Templar, the beloved disciple of the Holy Messenger of Mercy, this 'mercy' is an eye-opener. ”

"Kindness to one person, but little love. Compassion for millions of people is great love. Vanessa was unmoved by her ridicule and said coldly, "The benevolence of the Great Being is beyond the comprehension of you mortals. ”

"Yes, we are all mortals. You alone are the children of the Holy Spirit. Hahaha~~" Leah, who has experienced the conversion of faith, can be regarded as having completely seen the true face of the Holy Spirit Church: "Your so-called kindness is just the kindness you want." ”

"There is no point in arguing. "Vanessa was cold and arrogant throughout.

"Good, good. Leah sneered again and again: "I promise you a deal, all the lords of the Borla family, carry their belongings and food, and move to Daotan Town as ransom. ”

Vanessa nodded slightly, "Wise choice." ”

"But I have one condition. ”

"Conditions?" Vanessa glanced at her with a slight disdain, "You don't seem qualified to talk about conditions." Don't underestimate my determination, in fact, the church did not agree with our negotiations. The Borla family is my last mercy. At least, they're still alive. ”

"No, you'll say yes. ”

Liya gently raised the strike of the oath, pointing diagonally upward, and the words were sonorous: "In the coming day, we will come to the city, and I hope you can fight with me in a dignified battle." ”

Vanessa was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled: "Interesting." ”

Then he squinted at them: "Why don't you two go up together then?"

This is fruit-eating contempt.

"You slut!" Xia Qiya herself was hot-tempered, her face was red at this time, and she gritted her teeth: "Liya, I don't need you, I'll cut off her head alone." Pretend, arrogant, who to frighten?"

"I promised, in the name of the Holy Spirit!" Vanessa replied coldly, "whether it is one of you or both of you." ”

At this point, negotiations have long been meaningless.

Heller's opinion is simply irrelevant.

At least, for Leah, Uncle Heller and Natalie were able to survive. And she also has a strong sense of self-confidence that Heller and Natalie will approve of their chosen path.

The transaction is completed.

"Sir Borra, I am confident that you will respect the decision of the Church. Vanessa didn't mean to stay any longer, and directly gave an ultimatum: "You can go back now to announce the news and prepare to migrate." Your two sons will surely feel the glory that the Light brings to them. ”

For a moment, Heller seemed to be a teenager old, and his whole person lost his life.

The war horse began to turn around, and Vanessa turned the back of her head at Liya and them, and coldly threw a sentence: "I hope you keep your promises." Heathen. ”

Herod's ......

The golden horse under the seat neighed, and led the golden knight away like a swift wind.
