"Chapter 266: Extortion"

In the eastern part of the Kingdom of Tada, the so-called territory of the Kingdom of Haman, a large and extremely powerful army was stationed on the hills outside the cities, looking down on the city below. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

This large city with a population of nearly 100,000 is called Pat, which is the central fiefdom of the Seth family, which is what Hilton Pat calls the national capital.

In the darkness of the night, a convoy quietly departed from Pat's gate, and made its way very carefully in the direction of the hill.

The cart was very heavy, and even the horses pulling it were very difficult, and it was very slow when going uphill, which took a lot of time. And on the hillside, an elite group of strong, murderous savages stood by a rudimentary sentry post, and the tent next to it had been living here for a few days.

The convoy cautiously approached, and the more flamboyantly dressed man in the lead approached, gave a simple greeting salute, and then handed over a small bag containing gold coins with a smile on his face. However, the leading barbarian captain did not pay attention to him, but walked over and lifted the black cloth covering the car, glanced at it roughly, then took the gold coin bag from the man's hand and threw it into the car, and then twisted his head to signal the convoy to pass.

The convoy continued on its way, with two improvised walls in front of it, with the same two teams of guards. Although the barbarian did not accept the gold coins just now, the person who led the team still took out two prepared "greeting gifts", and there were two more bags of gold coins on the car.

The convoy continued upward, following the path previously carved out by the nearby residents, to the top of the hill, where there was a place that resembled a large camp, which was their destination.

After a brief check, the knight in charge of the battalion's defense waved his hand to let them in, while another group of barbarians and goblin elites lifted the black cloth for cover, and the gold coins on the cart glowed slightly under the firelight. The goblins cheered, carrying the coins out and out, counting them as if they were their own. And the leader of that team also walked into the camp under the solemn face of the Prince of Darkness, and met the leader of the mercenary group who was famous in the Hegman Kingdom.

At this time, the Grand Master was sitting on a tiger skin chair with Erlang's legs crossed (Li Guangyu himself asked to make it), holding a leg of mutton in his hand, and his mouth was full of oil, looking a little unbearable.

But even so, the leader of the convoy did not dare to despise this young and somewhat vulgar Oriental man, although he looked like a countryman, but he saw a trace of cunning and shrewdness in the eyes of this young man, and he was uneasy that he seemed to have seen from the other party's eyes how this Oriental man was calculating him.

"Head Li, we have already sent what you want, 300,000 gold coins, a lot of money, I hope you will not break your promise." The leading messenger said.

Li Guangyu didn't rush to answer, but listened to the goblin next to him whisper for a while, and then grinned, revealing some sharp teeth in his mouth: "Very good, 300,000 gold coins, it's really a lot." Congratulations, your kingdom is safe. Li Guangyu said with a grin.

The messenger breathed a sigh of relief, but Li Guangyu's words after that almost made him angry.

"Very good, the business of your national capital has been negotiated, now we should talk about other cities, how much money are you going to pay?" Li Guangyu put down the leg of mutton and cut the meat on it with a knife.

"You... You don't have too many points. The envoy held back his anger and said, "We gave you 500,000 gold coins before, you asked us for another 500,000, and now you ask for 300,000 more, is it in line with the principle of mercenaries that you are doing this?" ”

"Of course I won't break my word, and I won't raise the price temporarily, that's not my principle." He smiled evilly and said, "One million for me to stop the march, and three hundred thousand for the safety of your capital, but I never said that the cities we took should be returned to you, so wouldn't I lose money?" He said very shamelessly.

"And what the hell are you going to do?" The messenger's body trembled with anger, but he held back his breath.

"Give me another 700,000, and we will withdraw from the territory of the Haman Kingdom and return your land and cities to you, of course, excluding the fortresses along the border, if you want to buy them for 100,000 each." Li Guangyu licked the meat crumbs on the knife and said ill-intentionedly.

"You...."

Just when the messenger was about to lose control, the Prince of Darkness threw a letter to him, and the messenger quickly deflated after seeing the contents.

"You see, the Tada royal family is willing to spend two million to buy your entire territory and your king's head, the price is not high, but I am also willing to do it, if you can't even get their low price, why should I give up the fat in my hands?" Li Guangyu said as he proudly threw the piece of meat into his mouth and chewed it carefully.

"I understand, I will tell Your Majesty about this, and he will give you a satisfactory answer and reward." The messenger said helplessly, and then bowed and walked out, and when he went out, he could barely walk steadily.

After the envoy left for a while, Li Guangyu called a small clerk from a city, washed his hands with satisfaction, and wiped his knife.

"Write to those ministers of the Great Briusi III." He said with a smile.

"Tell them that the Hilton of Harman is willing to pay three million to keep his head and his land, and that the cost of our war is getting higher and higher, and that I need more money to pay the army, and that his deposit is no longer enough. If I didn't have the money to take it, it would be a loss-making deal, and I would agree to Hilton Seth's offer and walk away with three million gold coins. If they still want to see Hilton's head and the land of the two provinces, then they must give me a satisfactory number of gold coins, and pay at least half of the money in cash, or let them fight the battle themselves. ”

After Li Guangyu finished speaking, the clerk immediately took out the letter and handed it to the undead who contacted the Tada royal family.

And Li Guangyu also sat comfortably on the chair, next to several large boxes containing gold coins, he poked his hand down, took out a large handful and threw it to the goblins who counted the gold coins, and watched them snatch it.

"Ah, I'll have to think about how I can get more gold from them, these are two big families, some of them have money. Five million gold coins, hee-hee-hee-hee-hee......."
