Chapter XXVI: Post-War Negotiations
The widest table on the second floor of the central hall seated six people, four barons, Viscount Wayne and Viscountess Anne. Arthur sat on the largest chair, Viscount Wayne sat tremblingly beside him, and all the nobles in the hall stood silently on either side, this ending was unacceptable to most people, it was simply unbelievable. Fifteen Sith cavalry guarded the gate and kept no one out, and Morgan watched from the most remote corner as the dazzling man proceeded with what was next.
This group of nobles, I really don't understand how he got here from the Sith Leader, and where did he get the soldiers and horses to capture the entire Sayashi City without realizing it?
This is a viscount castle, and at least a thousand people plus a dozen powerful knights can do it.
Could it be that Baron Arthur has been pretending to be stupid all these years, but in fact he is a powerful mage?
After a while, the bloodied Bedwell was the first to enter the hall, followed by many of the viscount's garrison but was stopped by the Sith cavalry, and Cipecho was supported by his men, his face was as dead as ashes, he was struck in the shoulder by a sword, and was seriously wounded, it seems that the duel was won by Bedwell.
Arthur smiled as he watched his friend as he walked in lying on the guardrail. "Well, it's not hurt. ”
Bedwell took off her helmet and shook her hair, sweat running down her forehead. "It's fine, but I shouldn't be able to do it in a moment. ”
"My lord, we can't surrender, do you know how many people Arthur bastard has brought? Leadman, Merck, Kitaly, don't you feel ashamed? They only have 15 cavalry, 15 cavalry, you 5 waste, even 15 cavalry, plus 2 ordinary people who have no strength, what kind of knights, are you eating shit. Xi Beike angrily pushed away the waiter who was supporting him, and collapsed on the ground and shouted loudly.
Shame, he is ashamed now, and he wants to kill himself.
Suddenly, the hall was noisy, and countless people looked at Arthur with a calm expression in shock, this person was really a real madman.
"Bang. Viscount Wayne angrily slapped the table and pointed at Arthur.
"My lord, although I am not strong, it is easy to kill you, plus I have four barons, except for me and my father Yalin, the other three barons are old barons who have lived in the country for a long time, and even have been loyal to your family for a long time. But what have you done? Over the years, your lordship has been suppressing the barons except for Morens, and even forcing us to weaken the land, and I know you want to be an earl, but I tell you that it is just a toad who wants to eat swan meat, and it is beautiful for you. Don't forget that you are the weakest of all the viscounts, as long as you dare to inherit the earldom, you see that the other 4 viscounts will not join forces against you. ”
Arthur placed a dagger on Wayne's ugly neck, then glanced at Seaman and Redders, waiting for their decision.
"Arthur, you will completely offend the Earl, after all, the Viscount is also our lord in his incompetence. Even if you kill him, the other 4 viscounts will definitely wage war against the Saya, and you will be responsible for all the crimes at that time. Seaman said with a sigh.
The Siberian butterfly, flapping its wings, will cause a cascade of consequences, which is the butterfly effect.
For the two worlds, Arthur has already considered the consequences of all aspects, and the four viscounts will jointly write a letter to wage war against the Sayaling, and many people will die. Looking at Wayne, who was gradually relieved, Arthur felt a sense of disgust. Lady Anne was calm throughout, no matter what her husband showed to be ugly, or even how presumptuous Arthur was, she never said a word, just because of who she was.
The young lady of the Earl's house, the best of the middle aristocracy. and this group of knights, lords, barons, and viscounts who have never seen the world are not on the same level at all, if it weren't for the earlier agreement, how could a count's lady marry a country viscount, and she would simply lose her status.
Lady Anne is very sure that Arthur is a baron even if the king personally accepts it, and his father Arin is a strong man in the continent, even if he has a holy sword and has a great relationship with the fairy in the lake, he will not dare to kill a viscount casually.
Arthur glanced at the crowd and said in a calm tone. "Of course I won't do anything out of the ordinary, but I don't think it will be long before today's events will spread through the bard's mouth throughout the Dawning Continent, and 17 riding to capture the city is simply unheard of. Lilith, please ask the priests and priests of Saya, you have to notarize it quickly, it is not good to blackmail and protect the safety of my territory, the angry viscount does not know what to do, what do you say, dead fatty. With that, he patted Wayne on the back of the head.
"Yes, Lord Arthur. Lilith hurried out of the hall and to the church.
After the Demon King came into the world and occupied the Continent of Light, the church's voice in the entire world was infinitely amplified, and many people called them "the last light in the darkness". Although Arthur was disgusted and disgusted when he heard this, it was better not to fight with the powerful church until he had the strength.
Priest Howard is the largest clergyman in Saya City, 65 years old this year, his hair has long been gray, he was a heresy inquisitor in the Inquisition when he was young, and he can be considered a strong man with LV7 close to LV8 with the algorithm system of adventurers, and it was originally the bishop who later quit his job because he was too old and came to the remote Saya City, but he didn't expect to catch up with this kind of thing.
He was dressed in a pure white clergyman's loose robe, with a yellow placket at the front, beige shoulders, a hat, a silver cross on his chest, and small black cloth boots on his feet, accompanied by six monks, to the Viscount's Castle.
"I didn't expect Baron Arthur to know the fairy in the lake, so Lord Baron must be familiar with the people of Avalon, the Holy Land. Howard said with a smile, and the old man looked very kind and smiling.
Arthur got down on one knee and did enough superficial work. In a flat but polite tone, he said: "Lord Priest, now is not the time to catch up, the Sith Territory is still waiting for the news of victory, I just said that if something happens to my territory, I will definitely lead someone to destroy the Saya Territory." I can storm Saya City with 18 men, and next time I can storm Saya with a few hundred people. ”
Wayne clenched his fists tightly, so angry that he couldn't even speak, his small eyes narrowed, revealing bursts of cold light, and the air was full of bone-chilling coldness.
The holy sword EXcalibur, which was placed on the table, was withdrawn from its sheath, and the sword body erupted with a powerful and terrifying aura.
Everyone present was startled and looked at the holy sword that suddenly convulsed.
Morgan was in the dimly lit corner, frowning slightly.
Howard was a person who had been in the church headquarters for a long time, and knew a lot of unknown secrets, so he naturally knew the holy sword EXcalibur, and glanced in Morgan's direction without a trace. "Baron Arthur, you are a brave man with the Holy Sword, I think you made the movement in the winter, we will one day, we will need your strength when we want to recapture the Continent of Light, rest assured, the Holy Light will be with you. ”
Arthur glanced at Wayne, the church has spoken, what can you do with me as a country viscount. Pull out the settlement agreement from your coat pocket and read it aloud.
"One, I want all the wealth of Saya, three years, two, I want 500 men of fine cavalry equipment, and three, there is no one living in that area of Moros anyway, so I laugh at it. Four, Henry stole 5,000 gold coins from me, Wayne, now he's your man, so you're responsible for compensation. ”
"You're fucking fart, it's only more than 100 gold coins, you want 5,000 from me?" Wayne almost vomited blood in anger and pointed at him angrily.
"Wayne, this includes his clothing, eating, illness, etc., in view of his betrayal, including me and everyone in the Baron's Palace, mental damage, youth loss, lost work... Wait 52 indemnities, do you understand?"
The people in the hall were full of smiles, and even Howard, who had seen countless worlds, shook their heads with some amusement.
Blackmail can be so well-founded, and there is no one left.
"Arthur, you wait. As soon as the three-year war protection period expires, I will kill you. Wayne took the pen from the maid's hand and signed his name. After all, if you do not agree to this treaty, according to the rules of the nobility, you will launch an attack on the vassals, and if you lose the battle, the other party will gain all the wealth and land.
Arthur took a look at it contentedly, poured two glasses of wine, and moved a little by the way. "Lord Viscount, I'll wait for you to attack me in three years, but next time it won't be like this. ”
The two of them slammed their wine glasses together...
