Chapter 139: Alliance
A day later, the three lords who got the news arrived at the Three Forks Beach, where Stennis insisted on peace talks, reminiscent of Hitler's humiliation of the French for accepting the surrender signature in Carriage 2419D.
The knights of the three families, who could not figure out what the situation was, came together, and yesterday Cillian saw that Zivinie's army, which had already hit the door, withdrew in the blink of an eye, and then received the news that the Earl of Justin was willing to negotiate the terms of the armistice.
"Hmph, you still want to make peace with us?" said Randall, clearing his throat, and although they were defeated, he still refused to admit defeat in terms of face.
"That's right. Stannis looked at the three men, and an important plan was already unfolding in his chest.
"We have nothing to talk about with you!" Barrow said angrily, although they were defeated, but he did not admit his defeat, because this guy in front of him was not a dignified duel at all, and violated the rules of knighthood, although there was no rule of war in the Western Continent that the 'dragon roar' could not be used, but he always stubbornly believed that this was obviously Chiguoguo's next three indiscriminate methods.
"You're a loser now. Stannis said proudly, "But if you let me go before you let me go, I can offer you a preferential condition, no worse than the armistice conditions you gave me." ”
Lan Dole was instantly interested, and he said excitedly, "Oh, you say, you say!" This guy is the best of the trio at seeing the wind and steering.
"We're all neighbors, and we can be friends!, why fight to the death like this?" Stannis waved his hand, "Buying and selling is not benevolent, and this time I won by luck, not because of your incompetence, but because the gods favored me." Stennis began to grow in his polite words.
When these words were spoken, the anger on Barrow I's face subsided slightly.
"And I will return to you all the equipment and captives that I have captured, and I will not attack your territory again, nor will I demand cession of land, nor will I take any indemnity. ”
"So what are the terms of your armistice, Lord Justinian?" he offered a condition that was so low that it was beyond the expectations of the three of them, and Cillian asked earnestly.
"Align with each other. Stannis said earnestly, and he gave his own conditions.
"Alliance?" the three of them gave each other a strange look.
That's right, Stannis began to show his hideous face, and after a long time of not being able to take the strong fortress of these lords, Stannis changed his strategy, if he could make friends, then why bother with an extra enemy?
"Lord Justine, are you serious?" Cillian looked at the traverser with his serious eyes.
"Actually, I had an alliance in mind a long time ago. Stannis began to close his eyes and began to babble, "Why are we fighting and killing in such a small place, there is a wider world out there, why don't we look beyond the territory?"
"What do you mean?"
"That's right, my idea is to unite the four of us, although we are still very weak now, but if we join the group, we will become a force to be reckoned with. I calculated, the army of the four of us added up to more than 300 people, and then some hidden people were dug out to form a force of 500 people, so many people can be regarded as the most powerful military force around here, enough to go sideways, and then we will have bargaining capital even in front of the big people. ”
"How is this possible!" Barrow, the first to jump out against it, "how can we ally yourself because you are ......"
"Wait!" Cilian interrupted his companion, it seemed that he was really interested, this Stannis in front of him was right, although the strength of the three of them was weak, but if they could form an alliance with the Justinian family, it was indeed a powerful force, and in this troubled world, survival was the most important thing.
However, he still needs to confirm one more thing, "After the alliance is formed, we will be under your control, at your disposal?"
"Of course not! Of course not!" Stannis waved his hand in a panic, "You are all my allies, how dare I care about you! ”
This sentence made Dill and the others feel a lot more relieved, if it was really just to help each other militarily, then there was no harm in forming an alliance.
Barrow saw his hesitation, and asked in a mixed manner, "Cirian, you really don't want to form an alliance with him, do you?"
Cillian nodded, "I don't see any harm in forming an alliance just yet. ”
Randall agreed, he was the weakest of all, and he had been robbed by bandits last month, so he would be more than happy if anyone was willing to help him defend the territory.
"Okay, we agree. Cillian didn't wait for Barrow's reaction before they agreed at the same time.
"Okay!" Stannis originally thought that these wooden heads would be involved in his troubles, but he didn't expect these guys to be quite knowledgeable about current affairs.
"Today I just told you a rough framework, and the specific affairs have to go back to study, in short, everyone will be in the same boat in the future, and there will be wealth together!"
Stannis deliberately concealed the phrase 'when there is trouble'.
In this way, the prototype of the alliance of the four small lords in the eastern realm of Tanis was temporarily finalized.
Stanis rode back to the territory on horseback, and his peace talks were a great success, not only successfully eliminating the sword dispute between himself and the three families, but also pulling them into the gang by the way.
"Your Excellency, how are the matters of the alliance being discussed?" Before he could dismount, Lady Romon came up and asked, and when he proposed the plan for the alliance yesterday, almost everyone thought it was a fantasy.
"It's so-so~~" Stennis smiled smugly, "These guys, I thought I could be a little tougher, but I didn't expect that as soon as they heard that the army could send troops at the same time, they all rushed to join the alliance." ”
"Great! Great!" Lady Romon shouted excitedly, being able to form an alliance with these three families can be said to be a great strategic success, because these three families are in the west, and the east is a deserted Black Forest, it can be said that now their family only needs to put their defensive energy in the north and south directions.
"So have you chosen the name of the Alliance?" asked the scholar curiously.
"No, those three guys insisted on letting me take a name, so I could only reluctantly agree!"
Lady Romon asked curiously, "And what is your name?"
Stannis thought for a long time and prepared a cool name, "Holy Alliance!"
But I didn't expect to be directly vetoed by the old man, "This is not good, Your Excellency, the word sacred can only be used by the royal family, otherwise it will be dealt with as a rebellion!"
Oh, I didn't expect this world to be avoided, Stannis is very unhappy, so the Latin League, which was modeled after Rome, will definitely not work, "Then since we are in the East, let's call it the Eastside Alliance." ”
