Chapter 643: War Reparations
The tasks were arranged a lot, and the first thing for the next day was still changed.
Fourteen states of Han and Wrangler were sent to the West and Mi to ask for war reparations!
These two people estimated that their 'murderous name' had spread all over the country. On that day, the two of them did not rush to kill all of them, but left dozens of remnants in the corner of the team as the ones who went back to deliver the message. The Khan King of the Western and Mi Kingdom must be waiting for the development of the situation at this time, and anyone from the Seven Swords will go to negotiate, and safety should be guaranteed. Walking to the city gate, he felt that the NPCs around him were like freeze frames, staying in place one by one, staring at the two of them. The Wrangler directly informed the guards: "Tell your Khan King, the ...... of the Seven Swords Mercenary Regiment." Negotiators are represented! We will announce the terms of our negotiations for the Seven Swords in the city square, and then go to the royal palace! ”
Fourteen Zhou Han was even more polite: "If he has an idea, he can also come to the square to see us!" ”
Like a gust of wind blowing through the woods, the surrounding NPCs instantly came to life and began to run towards the city. Everyone wanted to know what the negotiators of the Seven Swords Mercenary Regiment wanted to say.
Like a normal town, the small square in the city is just outside the palace gates.
When Zhou Han and the Wranglers arrived at the scene at fourteen o'clock, the square was already crowded with the people of the West and Mi countries. The people automatically divided a path and allowed the two Seven Swords adventurers to ascend to the high platform on the edge of the square.
"Will you come or will I say?" The wrangler said politely, and seeing that the fourteen states were expressionless, he walked to the front of the stage: "The people of the West and the country! We, the Seven Swords Mercenary Regiment, have recently built a castle of our own about ten miles west of the Ma River. Where does it not belong to the West and Mi Kingdom, nor does it belong to the Shan Huan Kingdom. If you want to say who is the owner of that land, probably only the Kazakh Great Khan Kokotaiyi. But the Great Khan's army never came, he only sent tax collectors to collect taxes from a small number of herdsmen - he never paid anything for the land! Probably, he will send men against us in the future. But I don't understand what our city has to do with your Khan when we build a city on a land that does not belong to the kingdom of Sijmi! Why did he send cavalry against us? ”
It was an order from Kokotaii. However, the Seven Swords Mercenary Group did not recognize it, and the people of the West and Mi Kingdom reasoned with this order, and there was no basis.
"We want to live peacefully, but that doesn't mean we're willing to be bullied and invaded! Look at the Shan Huan Kingdom, the Front and Rear Cheshi Kingdoms, and the Black Bear Tribe, why didn't they send troops to carry out Kuo Kuotaiyi's orders? By the way, not only you, but also the Callemaks in the west, have sent an army of 500 men against us. I can tell you that this army now has only thirty men left, and it has begun to withdraw to Usu. Like the West and Mi Kingdom, these thirty people were specially left behind by us to let them go back to report the news! Who wants to attack Little Rock City of our Seven Swords Mercenary Group, if you dare to come, I will fight! Who cares if you are the Chieftain Khan or the Golden Horde! You have been defeated, this responsibility, I don't know if anyone on the scene is willing to bear it, or, let your Khan King come out to bear it - we, the Seven Swords Mercenary Regiment, want the West and Mi Kingdom to bear the price we pay for it! ”
A trembling old man shouted from the crowd, "But you have won...... It's us who have to lose......"
"We have losses. We have lost two magic weapons that can summon the Black Dragon to fight for us! How much is the value, you can ask someone! I repeat, it is you who are going against us...... Now that we have lost the war, if there is no reasonable compensation, it is inevitable that we will attack you! Hmph, when two neighbors fight, there is no reason why I am not only allowed to beat you and you are not allowed to fight back! ”
The old man roared, "Most of our soldiers are dead. But we still have the power to protect ourselves! ”
The Wrangler sneered: "Do you want to try?" But it is not up to you, it depends on the will of your Khan. ”
An NPC dressed as a cavalry came from the direction of the palace: "May I ask how much compensation you Seven Swords are going to demand?" ”
There are two plans for negotiation: first, the Khan of the Western and Mi Kingdom needs to pay his own money to compensate Little Rock with 10,000 gold coins, and open all kinds of trade with Little Rock with an equal attitude. Second, the West and Mi Kingdom can insist on obeying the orders of Kukuotaiyi and make enemies of the Seven Swords. Compensation of 20,000 gold coins to Little Rock. The two city-states remained the same. "If you don't agree to these two, just wait for our Seven Swords Mercenary Group to attack you!"
Anyone can see the sincerity of Little Rock's negotiations. This practice of announcing the terms of negotiation in public was also a way for the Khan King, who could not hide from the West.
Without waiting for the cavalry to return to the palace, the gate of the palace opened, and a long-bearded man with a golden helmet and golden armor walked out of the palace under the escort of more than ten people.
On the square, he knelt down to greet this person, and it was the Khan King Midu of the West and Mi Kingdom.
Midu didn't pay attention to the countrymen who knelt on the ground to greet him, and walked directly to the high platform, stroking his chest and bending down to the people who came from the Seven Swords: "Midu, the lord of the West and Mi Kingdom, is willing to form a friendly neighbor with Little Rock City, and compensate for the losses caused by this battle to the Seven Swords Mercenary Group!" ”
Midu made the final decision, and he knew in his heart that the Seven Swords Mercenary Regiment had the strength to destroy his country! Therefore, he hid behind the gate of the palace, and after listening to the negotiation request of the Seven Swords Envoy, he immediately opened the door and showed up, and agreed to the other party's request. He knew that the magic weapon that the Seven Swords Mercenary could summon the black dragon had consumed two, and the asking price of 10,000 gold coins for this was not too high! It's a pity that even if he has such a magic weapon, he can't pose any threat to these adventurers who are above level fifty-five. If you are not as strong as others, you have to attack each other, this is really the biggest mistake you have made in your life!
Before Mido and the negotiators of the Seven Swords Mercenary Regiment finished talking on stage, the crowd in the square began to fluctuate: someone drove a large herd of cattle and sheep past. It is also common for cattle and sheep to walk in front of the palace in the west and Mi, but today it is a little different. The cavalry that was driving the cattle and sheep stopped and gathered the flock. The Commander of the Ten Commanders jumped off his horse and walked up to the high platform of the square: "Yesmuha, the Commander of the Ten Commanders of the Former Che Shi Country, passed by here with the cattle and sheep that the former Che Shi Guo gave to the Seven Swords Mercenary Regiment. I have seen the cold and wranglers of the fourteen states; I've seen the Khan King Midu of the West and Mi Kingdom! I don't know if the two mercenaries are here to greet the gift from my king to the Seven Swords? ”
You've come just in time! This is a face for the Seven Swords! The Wrangler smiled: "Our Seven Swords Mercenary Regiment just defeated the five hundred cavalry of the West and Mi Kingdom to attack my Little Rock City the day before yesterday. We're here to demand war reparations on behalf of the city lord, Viscount Twilight! Captain Ten don't have to pay attention to us, just do your own thing! ”
Seeing the Turkic people treating adventurers with a flattering face, Mi Du's cheeks twitched: I also have some friendship with the country of the West and the former and rear Cheshi countries, you know the strength of the adventurers, and you know that they are passing by our country, why don't you report in advance? It's a joke waiting to see me!
Yesmuha squinted his eyes and looked at Midu: "My Khan King once said in private that without tens of thousands of cavalry, no one on the grassland could stop the pace of the Seven Swords mercenaries. I wonder if King Midu Khan agrees? Fortunately, several khanates and tribes in the land of our thirteen kingdoms have already made a decision to support such a powerful and peace-loving team rising in the steppe! Since the two mercenaries still have something to do, Yeshamu will not delay and take his leave! ”
Watching Yeshamu drive the cattle and sheep away, Midu felt bitter at the corner of his mouth: "It seems that the Turks of the thirteen countries all support the establishment of a country on the steppe by the Seven Swords. ”
Fourteen states said coldly: "More than that." In the former Northern Xinjiang Basin, there were only two most powerful khanates, the Black Bear tribe of Turpan and the Kalemak people between the Tien Shan and Altai Mountains. The Black Bear tribe has already expressed its support for us, and the Callemaks have been defeated by more than half of their army. I think that our Seven Swords are now qualified to be among the three most powerful forces in Northern Xinjiang. I hope that your country can live in peace with us in the future, this time the war reparations, Seven Swords gave a minimum amount, which is our sincerity! ”
Yadu couldn't help but believe it: "That's why I personally opened the gate of the palace to meet the two of you!" How about you please come with me to the palace and talk about it? ”
Yado's attitude is a willingness to increase the amount of compensation. The Wrangler heard it. In the royal palace, in addition to getting back these gold coins, he also undertook part of the post-war pension task on behalf of the Seven Swords: "In this battle, your country has suffered more than four hundred cavalry casualties. As far as I know, the cavalry is the backbone of the khanates and tribes, and I wonder how the king of Midu Khan intends to pay for the widows they left behind? ”
Midu is having a headache about this matter: the war deaths on the grassland are not pensions, and as long as the women are still able to have children, they don't have to worry about finding someone to feed them. However, for the country of Xijimi, there are too many people killed in this battle, and there will definitely be people who are difficult to appease, fight for property, support for half of the children and girls, and women who are unwilling to remarry, which will become difficult to manage in the future: "I am also having a headache for this matter." My steward has already begun to sort things out. He believes that this time it will be difficult to accommodate nearly 100 women and children. ”
You are not easy to settle, we have no one to use, and we still have more than 80 horse thieves who have just been 'good' and have not started a family! Fourteen Zhou Han understood the Wrangler's thoughts: "Our Little Rock City is a time when a large number of people are needed, your country is not easy to resettle, we are willing to accept these populations!" ”
Midu opened his mouth wide: "These people have a blood feud with you!" Are you not afraid that they will cause trouble in the future? ”
The wrangler said: "As long as they are willing to come, the fields and pastures are given away for nothing!" And with this 10,000 gold coins, I am sure to convince the city lord to take at least half of it to house these women and children! With that, do you think they'd like to go to Little Rock? ”
According to the order of the Great Khan, Kokotai asked the city-states around Little Rock to attack Little Rock, which means that his headquarters will not attack. Now the mercenaries of Little Rock City have defeated two tribes that are not weak in one fell swoop, and no one will dare to twist the tiger's whiskers in a short period of time. Density figured it out: it's a fool who doesn't want to go. He was a little worried that these people would rush to go: "I'm sure I'll get more than 100 people to go...... It's just that it will take time, so please don't leak this matter out. ”
