This is already the second monarch to ask him this, and King Griffos has asked him in this tone before.

"Sometimes it's impulsive, but it's a very charismatic person." Hu Bin defined Saiga Khan a long time ago.

"It's very apt, he also has a characteristic of this guy, that is, he wants to save face, which is also the characteristic of all Kujiit people. At that time, the Rhodoks attacked Kugit's army, and you remember what Sega was angry about. This time was a bit like the last time, and the seemingly cautious offensive of the Vigias had actually angered Saiga. I got information that Saiga had invited the old fellow to the north. You must know that the old guy hasn't left Lana for a long time, but this time he went there to command the army, and he didn't move until we beat him to the door of the lair, and it is estimated that Saiga is going to teach the Veggians a lesson. "Hakim Sultan was in a good mood, and the more he talked, the more energetic he became, like a weasel who had stolen a chicken.

"I estimate that the Kugits will besiege us for a while, secretly reduce the strength of the siege halfway, and then outflank the Virgias while they get carried away, and come to a closed door and fight the dogs." The Sultan raised a hand and clenched his fist.

"So are we going to take advantage of the Kugit against the Virgia army?" Hu Bin asked excitedly

"No, let's act as if nothing happened." Hakim Sultan said solemnly.

"Why?"

"That's politics! Halma is Saiga's bargaining chip. Hakim Sultan sighed, and then said to Hu Bin: "You are still too young, if you sit in this position for seven or eight years, you will understand." As the future patriarch of the Reed family, Reed, you have to remember that there are no eternal friends in this world, only eternal interests. ”

On the way back to the inn, Hu Bin pondered the words of Sultan Hakim until he went to bed before he understood the information contained in them.

Saiga Khan and Hakim Sultan are playing tacit understanding! The bits and pieces of information revealed by Saiga through a series of actions told the Sultan of Hakim his intention to negotiate, and the subsequent performance of the Salander Legion was the reply of the Sultan of Hakim to the Khan of Saiga, apparently the city of Halma was given to Salander as a bargaining chip, in exchange for the result of Salander's neutrality and even favoring the side of Kugit in the subsequent war.

The result of this reasoning frightened Hu Bin, is this the tacit understanding between politicians, it is terrible, it does not need to communicate to decide the direction of future wars, and even the bargaining chip in this silent bargain is a big city, almost equivalent to a quarter of the territory of Kugit.

"War is a continuation of politics." Hu Bin couldn't help but think of such a sentence. Compared with the petty family spirit of the Virgia Kingdom, Saiga Khan is much more generous, and in the face of the situation where his own strength is at a low point and the two enemy countries are working together, he actually made such a domineering decision, and the reason may be just for the sake of face. Although the words were funny, Hu Bin couldn't laugh, if it weren't for the sake of face, would Hakim Sultan still understand what Saiga Khan meant, did Saiga Khan really give up Harma City just for the sake of face, and even said, does Saiga Khan really take face so seriously?

Hu Bin didn't dare to think about it, he was already so scared that he couldn't sleep in a cold sweat, for the sake of his health, he decisively emptied his brain, and then slowly entered the dream.

It was late at night, but the oil lamp was still on in the study of Halmar Castle. Hakim Sultan drew a short sword from his baggage, the lines of the hilt had been polished, and it looked like it had been some years. Drawing the short sword from its scabbard with a slight force, the blade was still shiny and looked like it had been well maintained, and Hakim Sultan played with it for a while, then suddenly sighed and raised the short sword in front of him.

The root of the short sword is engraved with a line of small letters: For my best friend~~ Saiga.

"Is there really no one in the world who doesn't have eternal friends?" No one can answer the Sultan's question.

・・・・・・

The battle was just as Sultan Hakim had said, and three days later, on the morning of Kujit, a large army of Kugit appeared under the city of Halma, led by a lord with whom Hu Bin was unfamiliar. However, this was not important, but he received a tip that the Virgian army had begun a major invasion of the territory of the Kugit Khanate from the north, and that three villages had already been destroyed in the fire.

Hu Bin also wanted to be as nervous as the other lords, but after talking to the Sultan of Hakim, he couldn't get nervous at all, which made him seem somewhat heartless, but his impression of a battle madman had been deeply rooted in the hearts of many lords, so no one noticed his abnormality, but felt that such a Reed was normal.

"Ah, it's really uncomfortable, there is a feeling of not vomiting and unhappy." Hu Bin was so entangled that he knew that the siege outside was meaningless, but he still had to pretend to be ready for war.

However, Hu Bin will not be entangled any longer, because the Kugit people have begun to attack the city.

Hu Bin climbed to the top of the city, and looked out through the hole in the battlement wall, and the siege ladder of the Kugit people was slowly approaching the city wall.

"Could it be that Hakim Sultan has mistaken his guess." Hu Bin, who was full of such questions, didn't come back to his senses until he was hit by an arrow in his shoulder.

"Damn, don't care, hack these a**s." Hu Bin hurriedly lowered his body, grabbed the war bow behind him, and began to pour arrows at the enemy under the city.

The Kugit launched three sieges on this day, and then withdrew in the middle of the night. At noon the next day, a Kugit legion cut off the Viggia's supply lines, and several Kugit legions rushed out from all sides, crushing the scattered Vigiya legions stranded in Kujit. The source of these legions was actually the garrisons of various strongholds, and the Kugit actually abandoned the defense of all fortresses, leaving the Vigia legion at a disadvantage for a while. The main force of the Vigias was stopped by a large number of cavalry on the way back, and it was the force that had disappeared from under the city of Halma. Then he joined the pursuing Kugit corps and completely surrounded the main force of Vigia.

"Encirclement, division, defeat one by one, pursuit, annihilation, classic wolf pack tactics." Hearing the news that the legions of the southern expedition of the Kingdom of Vigia were completely annihilated, Hu Bin raised his hand to his chest and clenched his fist in the movements of the Sultan of Hakim, but he did not feel a trace of temperature in his palm. He finally knew that Saiga had paid for this siege not only in the city of Halma, but also in the blood of the entire 500 Kugit soldiers in the siege force.

The Virgias, who had suffered heavy losses, retreated back into the snowfield, while the Kugits suffered no less than the Virgia kingdom and needed some time to lick their wounds. Peace came so suddenly, but Hu Bin felt that such peace was not easy to come by, he suddenly felt that he had grown up, and he was no longer the big boy who kept saying that he was an adult, but made immature moves. The world has taught him something, and there is a price to duty.

The lords of Salander, who had ended the war, returned to the country one after another, and the new lords who were assigned to the territory also took office one after another, but Hu Bin returned to the original place of Muradin, without alarming anyone, and came to the temple of the goddess of nature alone. Hu Bin lies quietly on the lawn under the ancient tree of knowledge, he likes the environment here, quiet, peaceful and calming.

"Today's tea is brewed with the water of the newly produced Moon Well." A sacrificial apprentice walked over and handed Hu Bin a cup of tea.

"Then the great Lady Elune, what can you do next?" Without Hu Bin's permission, the moon well water was not allowed to be used by others, and only the owner of the temple dared to disobey Hu Bin's orders.

"This goddess personally serves you tea, it is actually this attitude, don't hurry up and kneel down and take it with both hands, and praise the kindness of this goddess again."

"It's the snack I'm done, I'm sorry, I'm a little busy during this time, and I forgot to sacrifice to you regularly." Hu Bin was too lazy to move, and directly released a bunch of snacks from the ring, which was no longer produced by the space, but a product developed by the chef in the city entrusted by Hu Bin.

"You're running out of time, I want to bring the Rhodok Kingdom under my control as soon as possible."

The priestess disappeared along with the snacks, but Hu Bin's heart could no longer calm down.

"Time is running out?"

Hu Bin immediately got up, and he was going to Viruga to persuade King Griffos to let him preach in the kingdom of Rhodoc as soon as possible.
