"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, those aliens have all fled! Even the beasts in the cage have been let go, and this time we have suffered heavy losses, and the power of more than twenty chain carts has not been able to stop them. Those aliens were so terrible that they didn't know what magic they could use to smash a hole in the heavy stone wall of the Colosseum......"

Chahu ran into the palace parlor in a panic, panting and wiping the sweat that kept pouring out of his forehead, still palpitating. Fortunately, he knows how to plan ahead, as early as many years ago, after King Savoy decided to let him preside over the Colosseum's gamble, he prepared various emergency escape routes for himself, but he didn't expect it to come in handy at a critical moment, otherwise he would have been trampled to death today.

Hearing this, the people on the throne did not react at all. Chahu was so anxious that he couldn't help but secretly wonder: Your Majesty must have been burned with anger, right? After all, this was the first time that a foreigner had broken into Suolong City, and he had also blatantly let go of all the beasts in the Colosseum in front of 100,000 Savoyard people, which was undoubtedly an unprecedented shame for the Savoyard people.

So, Chahu hurriedly lowered his voice and cautiously probed: "Your Majesty, it's still too late to send an army, should we take the opportunity to recapture the Sylvenian Forest?"

After saying that, I waited for a long time, but still didn't get any response. Chahu raised his head tremblingly, and glanced at the person on the throne out of the corner of his eye, only to see Tusaron, the king of Savoy, leaning leisurely on the back of his chair, holding a cup and tasting the Vasso brew in his hand - this is a drink made by the Savoyard people with animal milk and spices, the taste is very mellow and fragrant, and it is the most popular traditional drink of the Savoyard people, with a history of more than 1,000 years. Although there was a thoughtful look on King Savoy's face, Chahu could not find in it the attention and importance he deserved in this matter. Moreover, at such times, His Majesty had the leisure to sit alone in the drawing room and enjoy the wine...... Will there be guests today?

King Savoy's nonchalant attitude seemed a little unusual, which made Chahu even more uneasy. He also knew that a simple-minded man like him certainly could not understand the king's mind. To be honest, although he was a retinue of King Savoy, the meagre amount of intelligence in his chest was obviously not enough to be reused, in fact, even he did not understand what King Savoie liked about him, and why he had kept a half-blood who was completely opposite to the courage and courage of the Savoie for so long......

While he was searching for his delusions, Tusalon finally casually set his eyes on him. In fact, Tusalon really took a fancy to Chahu's characteristic of "greedy for life and afraid of death", because only such a timid person will do his best to survive. Tusalon was intrigued by Chahu's "unique ability" to completely ignore the disdainful gaze of others and find ways to make his life more comfortable, at least not in the case of the brave Savoyards. The Savoyard people advocate wild combat power, as long as they go to the battlefield, as long as the war is not over, they would rather die in battle than be deserters. Of course, the Savoyards are not fools and do not do stupid things like hitting stones with eggs. If you don't have weapons in your hands and the enemy is too strong, it's a different story, and you won't make pointless sacrifices when it's time to retreat.

Although Chahu is thin and cowardly, he has a very outstanding talent in terms of survival. Tusalon still couldn't figure out how Chahu had survived from one danger after another, and he couldn't help but laugh secretly when he thought about it, maybe it was because he wanted to figure this out that he would keep this half-blood who seemed to have no merit by his side, right?

Unlike the thick, coarse hair of the Savoy people, Chahu has very fine and slightly curly light brown hair, inconspicuous moon bones, a thin face, a pointed chin, and a habitual bend of his head when walking, as if he is always trying to hide his somewhat timid eyes. Paradoxically, however, he likes to dress up and try to look like a person of status. Unfortunately, no matter how gorgeous the costume was on him, it was a bit like he was wearing someone else's clothes. This kind of chahu really doesn't look pleasing to the eye at all, and there is hardly a bright spot in appearance and character.

Tusalon observed Chahu's puzzled and hesitant expression, and found it amusing, but all in all, he was quite satisfied with the retinue who had behaved so cowardly and incompetent. Although he is often ridiculed by others, Chahu has the ability to be greedy for life and fear death with peace of mind, and does not care about the ridicule of others, and still goes his own way. In some ways, maybe it's also a form of bravery, right?

Tusaron certainly had a plan for the incident mentioned by Cha Hu, but there was no need to explain it to Cha Hu one by one, because it didn't matter if Cha Hu didn't understand, and it didn't affect the obedient Cha Hu to perfectly carry out the orders he had given.

After a long pause, Tusaron said unhurriedly: "The soldiers must be dispatched, but the specific time to start the war depends on the situation." Pass down my orders and let the ministers prepare them first, but let the date of departure be set in sixty days' time. ”

Tusalon raised his head and drank the last sip of the glass in his glass,

Then he waved his hand to Chahu casually: "You can go now, but remember to tell them not to worry, maybe after camping at the edge of the Sirvenian forest, we still have time to hunt slowly, and then go to war, hehe......"

Chahu was completely confused by this unusual order, but he did not question anything, and still answered with his usual eyebrows bowed and pleasant, and then retreated lightly to the door. Just as he was about to leave, the hidden door was suddenly rudely pushed open with a "boom" from the outside, and a dark-eyed guy rushed in proudly. The man was dressed luxuriously, but the color scheme was really gloomy, and there was a feeling of breathlessness.

Tussalon's eyes suddenly flashed, and the corners of his mouth immediately raised, as if he had expected it. He turned a blind eye to the resentful look on the person who came, first waved his hand at Cha Hu, who was stunned by the door, signaling him to go out first, and then smiled unhurriedly: "It seems that the guards of my palace should really be changed, and even the Lepeilian people from the Eastern Continent can come and go freely." ”

"Your Majesty is really joking, if it weren't for Your Majesty's permission, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to climb the coast of the Western Continent, let alone the royal palace. Although the person who came said "Your Majesty", there was no respect in his tone, otherwise he would not have pushed the door so grandly and broke in. After all, in the eyes of the Lepeilian people in the Eastern Continent, the savage and uncourteous Sava people are always inferior, and the person who came is also the messenger of the first country in the Eastern Continent, the messenger of the Herilandi King, Instin Gate, and his identity is naturally more noble.

"The emissary's plan has been a great loss to me, not only has I failed to capture the alien priest, but it has caused a hole in the Colosseum to break out, and even the beasts have escaped, and my soldiers are counting on the Colosseum's income to feed them. Tusalon shook his head in pity, but there was not a hint of worry in his expression. He poured himself another glass of wine and drank it to himself, not at all prepared to entertain the guests to share, always with the appearance of "you please take care of yourself".

The Savoyard is really vulgar and rude! Instin Gate snorted secretly with contempt and asked, "I wonder if Your Majesty really did your best for the plan?"

"Haha......" Tusaron laughed, "didn't you just come from the Colosseum? But if you haven't seen it clearly, then please go again, read it carefully before coming back to discuss. ”

Instin was about to speak, but Tusalon added, "Ah, by the way, the weapon you sent doesn't seem to be very useful, not only did it not hurt the aliens, but it also damaged the walls of the Colosseum. It was a wall made of the strongest rock masonry in the Western Continent, which had stood intact in Suolong City for more than six hundred years, and now it had been broken by your plan. ”

"The chain cart is one of the most powerful heavy weapons in the Eastern Continent, and although it is indeed a bit unexpected to be destroyed today, aren't those thorn nets enough to express the sincerity of my Herriland?" Instin Gait defended indignantly, but he looked down on these Sava people who couldn't even make heavy weapons.

"Hah, you mean the most powerful weapon many years ago?" Tussalon's laughter was unusually loud and loud in the empty hall.

About ten years ago, King Herilandi sent his henchman Instinguet as an emissary to send a group of chain carts to the Western Continent, ostensibly to help the Savoy people fight their common enemy, the aliens, but whether this was the case was known to them alone. Since then, the envoys of Herilandi have begun to make frequent missions to the Western Continent for various reasons.

Ever since Instinn Gater first met the one-winged alien in the Colosseum, he immediately proposed to King Savoy that he wanted to exchange his possessions for the alien, but King Savoy refused. So, a few years ago, Instin Gate suddenly sent a batch of thorn nets to King Sava with a condition that the Sava Edict hand over all the aliens captured with the thorn nets to Herilandi. For this reason, Herilandi is willing to provide weapons and goods to the Sava people for a long time, and continue to help them fight against the aliens of the Western Continent.

The Sava Clans, though unaware of the reason why King Herilandi was so obsessed with capturing the aliens alive, were disdainful of this intriguing way of fighting, and they only wanted to prove their strength by defeating the aliens with dignity. Not only in terms of political outlook and national outlook, but also in terms of national temperament, the Savoyard and Lepelian people are also very different. Therefore, in the years after the thorn net was delivered, it has been given a cold reception and has not been used once.

Presumably because King Herilandi had finally lost his patience, the emissary Instin Gait had to take matters into his own hands this time, borrowing some troops from King Savoy, setting a trap near the forest, and successfully capturing several aliens. Originally, he wanted to use those alien people as bait to lead the alien priests into the larger trap of the Colosseum, so that they could be brought back to the Eastern Continent to ask for merit from King Herilandi, but he didn't want to miscalculate this time, and thus lead to the loss of his previous efforts.

"Hmph, doesn't Your Majesty also think that most aliens will break into the Colosseum at night to save people?" Instin Gate deliberately avoided Tussalon's question, blaming him for the failed trapping.

"I've just analyzed this possibility as a reference, and I'm not the one in charge of trapping, and I've lent you tens of thousands of warriors to command, and as a result, not only did the aliens escape, but there were not even a single beast left that I had worked so hard to collect, how did you say it could have become like this?" Unlike the angry Instin Gate, Tusalon leaned back in his chair and responded unhurriedly.

The Lepelians looked down on the Savoyards, but the Savoyards also looked down on the Lepelians. Because they think that those scheming Lepelians never dare to compete with the enemy with their own strength, but only make some sinister weapons, or set traps for opportunism, which is both hypocritical and arrogant.

This time, Instin Gate did not answer immediately, he did wait in the Colosseum all night, thinking that after dawn the aliens might not dare to appear blatantly, at least not until the next night, so he unconsciously relaxed his vigilance. But he never expected that those aliens would dare to break into the Colosseum in broad daylight, and let go of all the beasts in front of 100,000 people, which caught him off guard. The bait that I had worked so hard to get not long ago is now gone, and it will be even more difficult to catch the alien next time. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but become more and more anxious, and complained: "Hmph, if it weren't for the night patrol suddenly searching the city on a large scale last night, making it difficult for aliens to approach the Colosseum, they wouldn't have suddenly broken in during the day." ”

"Hahaha...... Are you really the garrison of my kingdom of Savoy just for decoration? Although I have temporarily lent you tens of thousands of troops for your command, I do not include the patrols of the capital. Tusalon couldn't help but look up and laugh, in his opinion, these Lepelians were really very arrogant and ridiculous. They thought that their blood was noble, and they liked to think of themselves as masters, and they had never been able to recognize the situation, but now they clearly stood in the territory of the Sava Evangeles, relying on the strength of the Sava Egs, and dared to brazenly criticize him. Of course, such a ridiculous act of the Lepelian people was not enough to make the open-minded King of Sava angry, as long as it did not affect the interests of the Kingdom of Savie, he would not care too much.

"Hmph, it's already happened anyway, so it's useless to talk about it. At the thought that King Herilandi would blame him for this, Instin Gate's anger became even more and more indignant, and unconsciously raised his voice, and said in a commanding tone, "Now I am afraid that there is no other way to catch the aliens than to go to war, so Your Majesty should order the dispatch of troops to the Sylvenian Forest as soon as possible." ”

Tusaron was unimpressed by Instin Gate's arrogant attitude, and after laughing, he put down the cup in his hand and said leisurely: "There are no slaves in the Kingdom of Savoy for me to drive at any time, and our Savoyard warriors have always been very expensive, and if you want to invite them to battle, you have to pay the corresponding price. However, the Colosseum was currently suffering heavy losses, and for the time being, the military resources were scarce, and the Savoyard people did not have the habit of going hungry to battle. ”

Naturally, Instine Gate, like all the Lepelians, also looked down on the Savoyans, believing that they had no strategy other than some brute strength and could be of some use on the battlefield. In the history books of the Lepelian people, the evaluation and description of the Savoyard people are nothing more than these points. The reason is that more than a thousand years ago, the Sava people were gullible and were used by the king of Gushir for eleven years, and then not only did they not reap the slightest benefit, but they were forced to flee the eastern continent. The Lepelians were complacent about this, thinking themselves superior in wisdom, and taking all the Savoyard people for fools. In particular, when the Savoyard people spoke, there was a strong ancient sound in their intonation, which gave the Lepelian people the illusion that "the Savoyard people have not made any progress for a thousand years". Therefore, to this day, the Lepeilian people in the Eastern Continent are still delusional to take advantage of these "fools".

In order to be able to return to the Eastern Continent as soon as possible to resume his life, and to let King Sava send troops according to his plan, Instin Gatet said impatiently: "The benefits I promised to Your Majesty will not be less, the ships carrying goods and weapons have already set sail from the Eastern Continent and will soon arrive at Solong Port, Your Majesty, please rest assured that you will send troops." ”

"Soon, in that case, let's wait until the goods and weapons are transported to the Western Continent before sending troops. Tusalon replied easily.

"You ......" is really vulgar! Instin Gatet wanted to reprimand this mercenary barbarian, but suddenly remembered that his mission had not yet been completed, and now he must not tear his face with the Sava people, otherwise after returning to the Eastern Continent, King Herilandi would not give him good fruit to eat. So, he had to try to suppress the arrogance in his chest, and pretended to change his words calmly, "Your Majesty, I think it is more beneficial for us to send troops now, so as to catch the aliens off guard......

"You can't go to war because you don't have enough military resources, why don't you go and experience the strength of the aliens for yourself, and then come and discuss this with me?" Tusalon interrupted him directly.

Hearing this, Instin Gate finally couldn't bear it anymore and said: "Strength? Hmph, what strength can aliens have? As early as three hundred years ago, they had been defeated by the Lepelian people, and now they can only hide in the Jedi and survive secretly, which is a well-known common sense in the Eastern Continent." Aliens are nothing more than a bunch of inferior creatures who lack intelligence, drink blood, take the sky and the earth, walk barefoot, and nest with wild beasts in the mountains and forests, and they are not as terrible as you think. Is it true that the fighting nation is only in vain? Our benevolent Majesty Herilandi, knowing that the Sava people have been fighting with the aliens for decades and still making no progress, will kindly offer weapons to help, and I don't want you to be so ignorant and mercenary!"

Tusaron dismisses Instin Gate's contradictory remarks, and the Lepelians apparently underestimate the abilities of the aliens, but Tusalon disdains to compete with him, and gets down to business without haste: "I think you should know that in the kingdom of Savoy, there are no slaves to drive for free, we only have mercenaries, and we have always paid for money and life. It is our tradition that the strength of the warriors of the Savoy is as precious as their lives, and that there are not enough goods, and that the soldiers have the right to refuse to fight, and even I, the king, have no position to oppose them. ”

Hearing this, Instin Gate's couldn't help but become more and more disdainful, and said in his heart: It is really difficult for these savage Savoyard people to communicate normally. In the Eastern Continent, the domain of civilization, the sacrifice of soldiers for the motherland is a supreme glory and a heroic act that can be sung and praised. At the king's command, the soldiers would unconditionally sacrifice their strength and lives to prove their patriotism, which is the highest moral code of the Lepelian people. But these Savoyards, who have no hierarchy, no distinction between dignity and inferiority, and no moral concept to speak of, are vulgar, as if they do not understand anything but matters of interest. Instin had no choice, so in the end he had no choice but to discuss the matter in terms of interests: "Your Majesty should send troops first, after this battle, I will give you twice as much as my wealth, how about it?"

"Send troops first?Do you really mean that the lives of my Savoyard people are all mustard?hahaha......" I don't want Tusalon to laugh arrogantly again, after all, the political views and values of the Savoyard and Lepelian people are different, and it is understandable that they don't like each other. In Tussalon's view, the aristocratic rulers of the Eastern Continent are disgustingly hypocritical. Because they never think about how to protect the people, how to seek benefits for the people, and how to let the people live and work in peace and contentment, but instead make up all kinds of "noble" moral lies to encourage the people to sacrifice their own interests to maintain the ruling power of the nobles. Tusaron couldn't help but sneer, "The envoy is really joking! The next war, don't say how long it will take, and even the casualties of the soldiers are still difficult to estimate. You've seen the Colosseum, and although the number of aliens is small, even if I send all the million troops in my hands to the battlefield, I won't necessarily be able to return half of them after the war. Assuming that we win this war, it is unlikely that our Savoyard power will be restored to its present level in the next thirty years, and how much will it mean to us if you give twice as much as your possessions?"

"And what do you want?" Instin Gater had completely lost his patience and was even exempted from verbal honorifics.

"Twenty times, and twenty times more property, otherwise there is no need to talk about it. Tusalon decisively put forward the conditions.

"Are you too greedy? Twenty times more can buy the whole of Suolong City. Instin Gate suddenly said angrily.

"If you don't want to, forget it, the messenger should please go back, and the bargaining will be waived. Tusalon waved his hand indifferently.

"You ......" Instine Gate, who couldn't figure out when the Savoyard had become so shrewd, had thought that these barbarians were nothing more than fools with little strength and no intelligence, but now it seemed that it would not be so easy to coax them into selling their strength, as they had done a thousand years ago. Fortunately, Herilandi has a strong national strength, and even if he sends twenty times more wealth, it is just a drop in the ocean for the wealthy Herilandi. As long as it was permitted by King Herrilandi, Instin Gater had the right to decide how to use the property. In order to complete the task as soon as possible, he had to agree, "Okay, twenty times is twenty times, and it can't be added in the future." Then, please give the order to send troops now!"

"Very well, but ......," Tusalon added, with a sudden rise in his mouth, "and at the same time that my soldiers arrive in the Sylvenian Forest, the twenty times as much as they must arrive at the port of Solong." Otherwise, there will be no war!"

"Why? you don't believe me?" Instine Gate's surprise at Tussalon's additional conditions was that the mercenary King of Savoy would be overjoyed to go to war immediately.

"Hahaha...... Go out and ask a random Savoyard and see who doesn't know that the Lepelian are the most cunning and untrustworthy liars in the world? Besides, it's all thanks to your Lepelian ancestors, who taught the Savoyard a pretty profound lesson. The people of Savoyard who are alive today understand that they must be cautious, vigilant, and beware of every word spoken by the Lepelians, otherwise...... You know, we don't want to be like the homeless Fiji people who have been wandering the ocean for more than a thousand years. So, of course I have to be careful, right?"

"Hmph, then as you wish, I hope that Your Majesty will not disappoint me then. Instinen Gate, gritting his teeth, shook off the words, and then turned away in a hurry, he could no longer bear to be in the same room as the coarse Savoyards.

Tusalon was unimpressed by Instin's attitude, and most of the Lepelians were self-righteous anyway. He just sneered at the menacing back, and then turned and walked out of the palace hall through another door.

After leaving the door, he crossed a long corridor and hurried back to his backyard in a hurry. Because, there was a guest he had been waiting for for a long time, and he might have arrived at the palace at this time. He had given instructions to the palace guards in advance, and if the guest came, he would take him directly to his private domain. Just thinking about it makes a smile overflow on my face.
