Chapter 194 Land Cession Indemnity
One billion taels of silver, plus a thousand spirit stones, not to mention Qin Zhuang, King Gong Qin was stunned.
Goodo......
King Gong Qin swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said in a deep voice, "I'm sorry, Lord Xiao, your request may not be met by the Divine Empire, this time the border guards suffered heavy losses, a total of more than 500,000 deaths, if one person's pension is 10,000 taels, my Divine Empire will definitely have a deficit in the treasury, there is no reserve, this will be a disastrous result, if we give such a high compensation to the private army, but give the border guards another amount of compensation, what will the border guards think? What will the entire imperial army think? The empire will fall apart because of this." β
As soon as Xiao Fan heard this, he knew that it was unrealistic to want to get some compensation from the empire, so he asked, "How much is the pension of your border guards?"
"Five hundred taels of silver for an ordinary soldier, eight hundred taels for a centurion, one thousand taels for a thousand, and ten thousand taels of silver. Qin Zhuang immediately replied.
The gap is not small!
"However, the family members of the border guards who died will be cultivated separately by the empire and given a certain amount of treatment, and if it is suitable, one of their clansmen will become a hundred or a thousand households. King Gong Qin explained.
Xiao Fan nodded, waved his hand, and said, "Then forget it, I'll ask the Demon Heaven Empire for this money, if they don't give it, hehe, don't blame me for being rude." β
......
The Demon Heaven Empire is larger than the territory of the Shenzhou Empire, but most of the areas are mountainous areas and ancient forests, with many shape-shifting demon beasts and rich resources, and the most important thing is resources, but alchemists and refiners are relatively scarce, and there are even fewer high-level alchemists, otherwise the Demon Heaven Empire can annex the Nine Dragons Continent!
The imperial capital of the Demon Heaven Empire, the Emperor's Palace.
The imperial demon lord looked down at the main hall, his big eyes were extremely terrifying, and the cold light shot out was even more terrifying than the sharp weapons of the gods, and his sword eyebrows trembled, and the Heavenly Wolf Marquis couldn't raise his head a little.
"This time, a total of four million troops were sent, and the other side had more than one million border guards, and you were defeated? And only fled back to 800,000 troops, not even Zhi Wushuang escaped back, and the rest of the army either died or surrendered, Heavenly Wolf Marquis, how did you do it?" the demon lord asked silently.
The Marquis of Heavenly Wolf fled back to the imperial capital from the border, looking unwilling, but he couldn't explain himself.
"The old minister is ashamed of his trust, this time the mistake is that the old minister underestimated the more than one million private troops in the Beiliang Prefecture Mansion, and that group of people was like mad dogs, directly rushing into the territory, and the army was caught off guard, and the army fell into a stalemate, and the Zhi Wushuang army division did not have time to arrange the troops, so ......" Tianwolf Hou said hoarsely.
Hahahaha......
The demon lord laughed and showed a cruel smile that made people shudder.
Recite!
The demon lord's teeth flashed with a cold light, as if he wanted to devour the Heavenly Wolf Hou directly.
"Defeated by a private army in a state capital, more than three million troops defeated by more than a million private troops, bastard thing!" the demon lord laughed angrily, shattered the golden table with one palm, and scolded coldly.
The Heavenly Wolf Marquis didn't dare to explain anymore, so he could only be scolded with his head bored.
There are not many Holy Spirit level masters in the Nine Dragons Continent, the strongest is the middle stage of the Holy Spirit Realm, there are a total of eighteen masters in the middle stage, except for the Holy Lord of the Nine Holy Lands and the deans of the three holy colleges, this demon lord is the strongest, and all the beings in his eyes are ants, the masters of the Holy Spirit level are the first level, and they will kill if they want to.
"A wise peerless, top of millions of troops, can't be lost, Heavenly Wolf Marquis, since you left him, I will send you to discuss with the Shenzhou Empire to end this war. The demon lord waved his hand and said.
The Heavenly Wolf Marquis smiled bitterly, the important city on the other side of the Demon Jiaguan has been lost, I am afraid that the Shenzhou Empire will be unforgiving, and if you go to discuss it now, the other party will definitely open your mouth.
"Your Majesty the Demon Lord, in case the other party opens his mouth...... the Heavenly Wolf Marquis respectfully asked the bottom line of the Demon Lord, and he didn't dare to make decisions without permission.
The Demon Lord Yin Owl's eyes stared at the Heavenly Wolf Marquis, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice, "Take back the border defense city, Zhi Wushuang, and the border guards will redeem it, pay them some silver, and give them some barren land, tell them that if they don't agree, or they have to make an inch, this seat will take a personal expedition to see how powerful the Shenzhou Empire is!"
After hearing the demon lord's request, the Heavenly Wolf Marquis respectfully retreated.
......
Whewββββββββ
The Holy Spirit-level Heavenly Wolf Marquis rode the wind and waves alone, spanning half of the empire from the central region of the Demon Heaven Empire, and it took seven or eight days to fly back to the border city, at this time, Xiao Fan's private army in Beiliangzhou had already gained a firm foothold and mined all the resources and veins around it.
King Gong Qin also took the main force of the border guards forward, constantly sent a large army to search the surroundings, and drew all the maps in the vicinity, preparing for a strong counterattack.
On this day, the Marquis of Heavenly Wolf appeared outside the heavy city, and shouted majestically, "King Gong Qin, this Marquis has come to discuss the peace agreement on behalf of His Majesty the Demon Lord, you might as well come out to talk." β
This sentence exploded in the sky like thunder, and every corner could hear it clearly.
Xiao Fan was also shocked, and looked up with a sly smile.
"The Lord is finally here, wait for you for ten days, waste so much of my time, at least compensate me for hundreds of millions of taels of silver. β
Smack!
After speaking, he patted his thigh and got up from his meditation, the more than ten days of retreat made him improve a few points, the realm is getting closer and closer to the realm of breaking the void, and the combat power is almost in the middle of the realm of breaking the void, I am afraid that at this time, it will not be so easy to use the Five Elements Battle Banner to deal with the master of the ape.
Wow!
Whewββββββ
Xiao Fan's figure flashed, and he came to the meeting hall in the city lord's mansion in the center of the city, and occupied a place early, just waiting for King Gong Qin to bring the Heavenly Wolf Marquis here.
Sure enough, in less than half a pillar of incense, King Gong Qin and the Marquis of Heavenly Wolf walked into the conference hall side by side, and couldn't help but be stunned when they saw Xiao Fan sitting there seriously gnawing on the spirit fruit.
"Xiao Fan has seen the two seniors, and I have just arrived, don't be polite, just sit casually as if you were in your own home. Xiao Fan completely regarded himself as the master, and stretched out his hand to signal.
The corners of King Gong Qin and Heavenly Wolf Marquis' mouths twitched, but after thinking about it carefully, I am afraid that Xiao Fan must really be present in this negotiation.
The Heavenly Wolf Marquis glanced at Xiao Fan deeply, gritted his teeth and said, "The Lord of the Xiao Mansion is really a young and handsome man, let Benhou suffer such a big loss, and was reprimanded by His Majesty the Demon Lord, I have to thank you." β
Xiao Fan grinned, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Master Hou, don't be so polite, I just train and train my troops, how do I know that I will lose so many soldiers, hey, if not...... The Demon Heaven Empire gave me this border city, which can be regarded as making up for the loss of my Beiliangzhou Mansion. β
The Heavenly Wolf Marquis flashed coldly, staring at Xiao Fan, and really didn't understand what he relied on to dare to be so presumptuous in front of him.
The Holy Spirit level is the Holy Spirit level, and the people who break through the Void Realm don't dare to raise their heads in front of them, but Xiao Fan is different, he doesn't seem to feel the coercion of the Holy Spirit Realm, and even his qi and blood have not condensed.
"This side of the heavy city is the important place of my Demon Heaven Empire, this time Benhou came with the order of His Majesty the Demon Lord, you had better withdraw, otherwise His Majesty the Demon Lord will have to take the royal expedition in person and ask His Majesty the Shenzhou Empire for advice or two." The Heavenly Wolf Marquis coldly threatened.
