Chapter 509: We're Back
As Mathilde said, a group of men led by Viscount Frey arrived at Jason's camp as Phil's messenger and asked to meet Jason.
The first to discover this group of emissaries were the Andean marshal's henchmen, who did not inform Jason at the first time, but reported to the Andean marshal.
The first reaction of the Andean marshal after hearing the news was that these people had come to sue for peace, although I don't know what kind of conditions they would put forward to impress Jason, but this was not in the interests of the Lion Kingdom.
Regardless of how much benefit the Lion Kingdom can get from lending its army to Jason, the mutual attack between the two Lopez brothers has greatly weakened the national strength of the Lopez Kingdom, and this is the biggest benefit they get.
The Lion Kingdom Night Dream took advantage of this to change the previous predicament.
So he made a decision that this team of emissaries must not meet with Jason, even if Jason blames him afterwards, it is impossible to make other decisions.
He can't throw himself out as a scapegoat, after all, he already has a big enemy, how can he provoke another enemy, that is very irrational.
It's just that what caught him off guard was that he just wanted to make a move, but he was caught by the crows, and the two sides confronted each other, just when the Andean marshal was going to kill these crows together without doing anything, and then blame Phil's messenger, Jason actually arrived accompanied by a strong man named Arthur, and the atmosphere at the scene was very embarrassing.
In the end, Jason glanced at Andean Yuan Shuai indifferently, and without saying a word, he turned around and left with the messengers.
It's just that this look actually made the Andean marshal have a lot of fear and coldness that rose from the bottom of his heart, this is a warning from him, this guy really has a murderous intention for himself, and he really dares to kill himself!
So it didn't take long for the Andean marshal to hastily write a letter to Gwendrin, and then planned to leave the camp with his own guards.
What he did today has touched Jason's bottom line, if he doesn't leave, he really can't guarantee what kind of thing Jason will do in a rage, after all, just use an excuse to send himself out to lead the troops, and then secretly make some small moves to reveal his marching route, without his subordinates to make a move, Phil will definitely not let go of this opportunity to cut off Gwendlin's right-hand man.
On the other side, Jason and Frey finalized an armistice, and the two provinces east of the Black River Valley were all under Jason's management, but at the same time, Jason needed to deal with the soldiers and nobles captured in this war, and he also had to send troops to help Phil's kingdom army defend against the threat of the Susin Kingdom.
However, Jason Lopez must be declared a vassal of the kingdom and Phil's kingship must be recognized.
Phil also required Jason in the treaty to have an heir in the future and must send the eldest son to the Sloven palace to be taught, but this was strongly rejected by Jason, if he can't even protect his family, then now he and Phil will fight to the last soldier.
Seeing Jason's tough attitude, and even faintly showing signs of anger, Viscount Frey did not insist, but in the end they also proposed that the Lion Kingdom must sign a non-aggression treaty between the two countries.
Since the content of the contract involves the Lion Kingdom, this is not something he can decide, so Jason asked his men to invite the Andean Marshal, so the Andean Marshal who was forced to force him just handed the letter to his henchman and was about to leave, but was blocked at the door by the crows.
In the face of Jason's strength and the conditions given by Phil were indeed generous, the Andean Marshal signed the treaty with half a push.
After all, he didn't support this war in the first place, but because of Gwendelin's insistence, he couldn't do anything, and now that he had reaped enough benefits, if he didn't stop quickly, would he continue to mess around with Jason?
After more than a year of war, the curtain finally came to an end under Phil's unilateral subduy, Jason got three devastated provinces, Phil got rid of three war-torn provinces, and even on the surface his throne was recognized by the second person in the kingdom.
It's hard to say who made and who lost, in short, both sides are playing their own little calculations.
It's just that for Jason, he can finally relax, and finally return to his "home" after a three-year absence, he plans to go back to make up for a grand wedding for Villeret, he has been gone for three years, and he has already missed the wedding agreed at the beginning, as for the matter of resisting the Susin Kingdom, Jason feels that there should be no problem for Phil and Duke Asa to unite.
And although Phil said that he would send troops to defend against the Susin Kingdom, could he really trust his army to pass through the Lopez Kingdom, and could he believe that Phil would not set up an ambush on the way to wipe out all his troops?
It is even said that the three parties did not even take this treaty to heart, and what is the treaty used for? Someone once joked that the treaty between countries is used to tear up.
After the treaty was signed, the Lion Kingdom had to withdraw its troops from the Lopez Kingdom within two months, and Jason's men had to retreat east of the Black River Valley, and no one could cross the Black River Valley without the pass signed by Phil.
After that, Jason left Arthur to be responsible for dealing with the mess here, and handed over all the nobles who had taken refuge in the war to Arthur to manage, and appointed him as the governor of the east.
As a great and legendary king, it is not a problem to manage two provinces, and if he sits in Jason's place, he may do a better job than Jason, at least without suffering too many setbacks and taking too many detours.
And Jason himself, under the protection of Hassan and CΓΊ Chulainn and the Spartan warriors, traveled lightly and simply.
A month later, Jason and his party passed by the banks of the Morning River, where the Lopez Kingdom army had already left under the leadership of Marquis Bode, and there were some abandoned debris everywhere, and occasionally scavengers could be seen roaming the land, a desolate atmosphere, and Jason seemed to be able to smell the blood in the air.
Crossing the Morning River was Jason's territory, and he had never been more apprehensive than he was today.
When the war-scarred walls of the Morun Fortress appeared in everyone's sight, everyone for no reason felt a sense of relief.
Even Hassan couldn't help but whisper: "We're back." β
"yes, we're back. Jason took a deep breath.
