Chapter 42: Joining the Alliance
When Monte learned of the notice that the alliance between the two sides would begin tomorrow morning, the envoy, who had been waiting for Lotta for nearly ten days and had been completely hung up by Lotta, could only greet him with a smile on his face, although he was very dissatisfied. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In terms of strength alone, even if Lotta is still a small city, with a powerful knight and mystic, it already has the capital to be equal to the core of the Six Cities Alliance.
Early the next morning, Monte arrived at the castle of Medester, where all the ministers of the city of Lotta were in place, waiting for the arrival of Samier and Mien.
And Monte, as the special envoy of the Six Cities Alliance, will naturally not be treated by many ministers in the council chamber, after all, the two sides fought a cruel war with nearly 10,000 casualties a month ago, if Samier hadn't explained, I'm afraid Monte would have received a lot of cynicism after coming to the council chamber.
Wearing his custom-made teaching uniform, Mien walked into the council hall with Samier, who had not seen him for a month, except that he was still beautiful and heroic, he looked a little tired, and after the war, Lotta City had a lot of problems to solve, and Samier had to be busy until late at night every day.
The captives were thrown in Lotta prison by Meen, and after being told that they would be interrogated by himself to make sure that the guards did not act out of the ordinary, Mien was very suspicious of the young man's identity, and judging from the conversation along the way, Mien was even more sure that the young man's identity was extraordinary!
"Now that you've all arrived, let me tell you what you have offered. ”
Monte cleared his throat, thinking about when he, as the envoy of the Six Cities Alliance, negotiated with these small cities when he had received this kind of treatment, and when was it not the time when the city lords of those small cities greeted him with a smile, but who made Lotta's fist big, even the Six Cities Alliance didn't want to gnaw on this hard bone without a little oil and water again.
Even if there is that priceless iron mine, but filling in so many soldiers, it is still a small damage to the Six Cities Alliance, and most of the voices within the alliance are opposed to starting a war again, vested interests must at least be proportional to the effort, and launching two large-scale wars is already a heavy burden for the Six Cities Alliance.
And most of the above meanings are also to include Lotta in the territory of the alliance, so that the power of the Six Cities Alliance can envelop the entire north.
"After joining the Six Cities Alliance, Lotta does not have to be attached to the core six cities, which is equivalent to an independent core city, and needs to pay a fixed amount of taxes to the alliance every year, once the alliance has a war, you need to send half of the troops to support the alliance, and the iron ore you mine needs to provide the alliance with a free supply of 10,000 cars every year in addition to the purchase price we agreed before. ”
Cherny frowned when he heard this, "10,000 cars? Your appetite is too great, with the current mining capacity of Lotta, 30,000 cars a year is already the limit, and you will have to open your mouth to 30%! This is impossible!"
"Cherny, let him finish first. ”
Samye stopped Cherny, who was going to continue, "Since we need to pay such a big price, what about the benefits?"
To be honest, Monte didn't pay any attention to the ministers here, but he was still very afraid of Samier and Mine, not only the identity of the city lord and the mysterious, but also the awe of the great power!
"Lord Medest, if you are willing to join, you will be protected by the Alliance, and any forces that are hostile to Lotta will be regarded as a provocation to the Alliance, and if you have famine and other related problems, the Alliance will distribute a ration of food for free, and the price of food you buy within the Alliance will be 10% lower than the market price. ”
Monte took out a document that had already been prepared and handed it to Samier's assistant, "I have already prepared some relevant matters, and I would like to ask you to look at them. ”
A huge piece of parchment was densely written, and it was all about the responsibilities and benefits that needed to be paid to join the alliance.
Samiyah finished reading the parchment and handed it to Mine, "Mine, let's see if there are any more questions." ”
Although Samier's handing of the Parchment to Mien was just a very simple action, in Monte's eyes, this was a very important piece of information, Samier, as a city lord, did not show the document to his most trusted minister for the first time, but gave it to a church leader, whose eyes were as vicious as Monte, and at this time it had been confirmed that the Church of the Holy Light had a pivotal position in Lotta City!
And there are also some rumors that this city lord is also a believer in the church.
Mien looked at the conditions and placed the document on the table, "I only have one thing, the Six Cities Alliance cannot hinder the spread of faith in the church. ”
Those other messy conditions will naturally have those ministers grinding with him later, and Minn only needs to keep them from obstructing the church.
Monte wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, Mien's mental power was too strong than ordinary people, so that even if he just glanced at Monte, it was an invisible pressure on Monte.
"Your Excellency Yang, regarding this matter, the top management of the alliance has already made a decision, except for Levillen, who does not mind the spread of faith in the church, the other five families will only allow the church to preach in their subordinate cities, and the main city will be completely forbidden to missionaries. ”
Meen was silent for a moment, "Yes, lost lambs, the Church will always welcome them back to the Light. ”
As for other related matters, Mien really didn't bother to listen, those ministers fought with Monte one by one, and Samye watched, except for Cherny who went his own way, everyone else seemed to be in order to show loyalty, and they all bit the conditions to death, and they talked all morning, and they didn't talk about anything, Samye pinched his eyebrows with some pain, "Everyone, it's lunch time now, and other things will be discussed in the afternoon." ”
"By the way, Envoy Monte, there's one of your Silver Knights in my dungeon..."
"Is it the knight who stormed the wall that day? Oh my God! He's still alive! I'll let Beran know if you don't mind!
Sumier was interrupted in the middle of his sentence by Monte, his expression a little displeased, "Pay attention to your words, Your Excellency the Special Envoy, that person I will kill him with my own hands in a knight's duel in a few days!"
"Lord of the City, you can't kill that man! He's Nicole Boran, the betrothed of the beloved daughter of the lord of the Bolan family! You can't kill him! How much ransom do you want, you..."
"Enough!"
The angry knight was like a roaring dragon, and her strength made Monte swallow all the words back into her stomach.
Samiyah took a deep breath and calmed his gaffe, "I just want to tell you that if he has relatives or friends, let them come and witness that duel in five days." ”
With that, Samiyah looked cold, turned around and left the chamber.
Several ministers passing by Monte let out a mocking laugh and shook their heads, this fat man really can't open a pot.
Only Mien said as he passed by Monte, "That man killed Lord Samier's father with his own hands, understand?"
Monte, who stayed in place, looked depressed, knight duel, the oldest ritual of the knight class, only those knights with blood feuds would wash away their shame with this ancient duel!
Once the duel is initiated, it cannot be terminated! Until one side dies, you can't use fighting energy during the duel, you can only use the most primitive martial arts to fight to the death!
Since the Lord of Maidste City has said so, then Lord Hogg must have also accepted the duel, and Monte originally wanted to spread the good news to Bolan and ask for a good sum, you must know that Lord Nicole was in tears for half a month when she learned that Hogg had died in battle.
Now that the duel has been formed, even if Hogg dies in the duel, Beran has nothing to say, life and death depend on their ability.
But if someone takes revenge because of a duel, it will definitely become a big laughing stock!
Of course, Mien can't say anything about Samier's decision, for the sake of glory and revenge, the female knight has the confidence to kill her enemy with her own hands!
And Mien still has a bunch of things to do next, Frankie is in charge of the church school, Mien wants to see how the three young people who were circled out by themselves are learning, and once the alliance is completed, then Mien will need a lot of missionaries, after all, such a large area, Mien can't complete these things overnight.
And the identity of that young man, Mien also has to determine as soon as possible.
