Chapter 697: Agreements, Funerals, New Beginnings
The negotiations lasted until noon and finally ended, and the two sides reached a preliminary cooperation intention. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
On one side of the Entente, Tyglin left behind a blueprint for the 'Silver Pedestal', promising to provide three semi-finished pieces of the Hammer of Justice per month, as well as weapons and armor for 100,000 men, and to send enough blacksmiths to join the Rose Collar's army to repair and forge for a period of five years.
On the other hand, Muen promised sufficient food, potions needed for the war, auxiliary items, and the support of a team, twenty spellcasters or wizards, and of course, at a critical moment, Ilmassu City could directly send troops to intervene in the war.
At the same time, as the rear of Stratos, the Hill Dwarves will migrate some of their people into the Rose Collar.
On the surface, there is no doubt that the Igor family has taken advantage of it, not to mention anything else, the weapons and armor of 100,000 people alone, that is an astronomical amount, in this chaotic era, there is simply no place to buy money, and the weapons of the dwarves are notoriously durable.
But in fact, a deep analysis is not the case, just like the Rose Collar is not short of food and medicines, Stratos has stored countless weapons and armor, especially in the past two years, they have been desperately mining and saving capital, for this day.
In fact, Tygrin Stormhammer was really clever at coming up with the blueprints for the Silver Pedestal.
Although the 'Silver Pedestal' is like a chicken rib to the Hill Dwarves due to various problems, there is no doubt that it has a great attraction for every lord, and a Silver Pedestal legion does not dare to say that it can sweep the battlefield, but it can almost play a decisive role in ground battles below the extraordinary power.
And for Muen, the problem of dwarven headaches is not a problem at all.
First of all, he has a legion of nearly 100 spellcasters and a legion of white witches who have been precipitated for a long time, there is no shortage of legal professionals, and there is no shortage of alchemists.
As for height, it's even less of a problem, the Rose Collar has pursued a policy of racial equality, and the population structure is also dominated by humans, with all races. From a halfling with a height of less than one meter to an elephant man of about three meters, a large handful can be captured.
Moreover, this is not the era of the gods, as long as you are a professional who has started your hard work, which one is not strong and strong.
Mu En has even decided to draw the professional 'city breakers' from the siege troops of various legions, most of these violent elements with extreme strength are muscle clubs more than two meters tall, and the most important role in the war is to push the battering ram to smash the city gate at a critical moment, or directly manipulate the stone in the rear to achieve a humanoid catapult.
If one of them wears a set of 'silver pedestals' as armor and weapons, they will all wear a three-meter-long Daguan knife, and don't do anything else after they go to the battlefield, just repeat the three actions.
Charge, swing the knife, hack to death.
The scene of the torrent of steel rolling by, just thinking about it makes me feel it!
Mu En's heart was moved, so Tygrin's plan also succeeded.
Because as long as Muen still wants the 'Hammer of Justice', it is necessary to ensure the safety of the dwarven clan in the hills, and only these skilled dwarven blacksmiths can continue to forge the 'Silver Pedestal'.
In the same way, he must also guarantee control of Stratos, because only here can there be an inexhaustible supply of ores and materials.
Not to mention the others, the precious metal that can melt demons, Mithril, is already low in production, and without the supply of Mithril Mine under Stratos, Muen can't buy it even if he wields gold coins.
These resources, which have risen to the level of national strategy, are all controlled, and their circulation is also through internal distribution channels.
After the negotiation, Tygrin hurriedly led his guards, and left without even eating lunch, as long as he left the eastern acropolis of Ilmassu City, he would inevitably abandon the guards and move forward quickly with extraordinary strength.
He had to rush back to Stratos as soon as possible to preside over the overall situation.
Mu En sat alone in the council hall for a long time and did not move, he was not happy because of the 'silver pedestal' he was about to obtain, nor was he worried about the allocation of materials and resources Stratos, he just sat there, 'looking' at the sky outside through the skylight, and was stunned.
Today's city of Ilmasu is no longer as sunny as yesterday, the dark and dreary dark clouds are extremely low, and there is a dull atmosphere in the air, and a rare storm is coming, just like Muen's mood at this time.
Strictly speaking, Madame Merry is gone, the old butler is gone, and Muen's true origin is like grit submerged in the dust, and no one will question it anymore, and his position as Grand Duke Igor is becoming more and more secure, and from this point of view, he should be happy.
But the truth is, he just couldn't be happy.
The sound of crisp footsteps came, from far to near, the young penguin butler walked in, he had adjusted his mood, came to the front and back, and said softly: "Master, what do you think of Lady Merry's funeral?"
Mu En raised his head, 'looked' at him, lowered his head again, and said, "Follow the process, you are familiar with these, just call me when you need me to come forward." ”
"Yes, sir. ”

Mrs. Merry's funeral was scheduled for the next afternoon, according to the rules of the Igor family, and it was buried on the ground.
The splendid coffin was covered with roses like fire, and Madame Merry would lie on her back in the most noble garments, and the visitors would pay their respects and mourn. Then, at the last rays of the sun, six coffin men will send her to the entrance to the tomb of the Igor family, located deep beneath the Rose Castle.
It is said that there is also an undead spirit transformed by the ancestors of the Igor family, who will take the coffin at the entrance and send her deep into the tomb. The Great Butler, who had been reduced to a sculpture, would also be placed at the entrance of the tomb, standing there like his countless predecessors.
It is said that dozens of 'sculptures' have stood on both sides of the road, all in different postures, all facing the direction of the tomb, as if they were the masters of the watchmen of the underworld.
The whole funeral was quick, simple and atmospheric, and the atmosphere was not sad.
The nobles were not puzzled by Madame Merry's death, because the other party's physical condition had already been expected, and as for the old butler's choice, they knew even better, and when the new penguin butler appeared, they already knew that there would be such a day.
It should be said that they are far more familiar with the rules of the Igor family than the head of the family.
The only thing that makes them feel extremely strongly is that times have really changed.
The back that stood in front of everyone was straight, majestic, and after the blood rain dragon crow's cloak was unfurled, it was as tragic as a blood-stained battlefield. From beginning to end, he was silent and did not say a word, but everyone's eyes unconsciously looked at him, with a little caution and a little fear.
Especially the older aristocrats, they have seen the spirit of Grand Duke Harvey, they have seen the peerless elegance of Madame Merry, they have seen how this beautiful thing has fallen like a meteor, and they have watched how the Igor family rises in a desperate situation.
It was at this moment that they felt more and more of a spiritual shock.
Those years that will eventually pass, the unchanging past in those years, have all turned into memories of each other.
Times have changed, leaders have changed, just like the cycle of the four seasons, there is a new beginning......
