Chapter 283: A Brief Peace

Stannis knew that it was right to bring this smart man, so that the other party had no way to find his pigtails.

But he didn't expect Hunian to be furious as soon as he heard Hillier's voice, "Who allowed you to speak! The mongrel of the Dill family, my sister's matter has not been settled with you, and you dare to appear in front of me!"

Stannis didn't expect that the feud between these two people turned out to be so deep, what role did the woman named Ivy play in it?

However, when it was time to stand up for the younger brother, of course, Stennis was unequivocal, and he said in a loud voice: "Do you have any opinions?

Hunian also knew that his reaction just now was a bit too much, he breathed a long sigh of relief and tried to suppress his anger, and then said calmly, "Of course not, Your Excellency Justine, but what that edict says is in the most critical situation, and you have heard it. I don't know what is so critical that you moved your forces without my father's consent?"

"I said, it's a monster that suddenly attacked my territory!"

But this reason obviously could not convince Hunian, he smiled apologetically, "Sir Justin, you and I both know that there are no large-scale monsters in your forest that can threaten your rule, and even if there are, with your current army of up to seven hundred people, it is enough to resist, why gather an army of two thousand five hundred people, and even use a mercenary group?"

Stannis was shocked, he knew that the other party deliberately said this to show him the Garcia family's powerful intelligence capabilities, but he also knew that it was useless to say anything now, and the other party would only believe it if he showed real evidence.

"If you've seen the monsters that ambushed us on the White Expedition and nearly wiped out the Expeditionary Force, you'll know why I've gone to such great lengths to gather all my forces to destroy the Divine Seals that made them. ”

Hunian shook his head, this alone could not convince him, "I have heard about that incident, but unfortunately I have never seen the most terrifying monster in your mouth until now, not even a single corpse. ”

Stannis knew why, because the Chaos people would turn into a puddle of black water after death, and there would be no corpses left in the world.

"So, how do you make me believe what you say?"

The lord didn't talk any more, he reached into the leather satchel next to the saddle, and then took out a head and lifted it up in the sunlight.

The people on the other side exclaimed, and when Hunian saw the features on the skull, he stopped talking.

It was the head of the corpse that had been poured and imprisoned in the Divine Seal, and before he came, Stannis had deliberately cut it off, knowing that it would be more useful than words in front of this head.

"The gods are above! this is what you call a monster?" Hunian looked shocked, he had killed countless people or something, but it was the first time he had seen such a hateful and terrifying face, this was definitely not human, and fortunately it was not human.

"Now you believe what I'm talking about, right?" said Stannis, tucking his head back into his leather purse.

Hunian's eyes widened for a long time, and he seemed to be trying to soothe the fear in his heart.

"So," Stannis took the initiative to drive his horse closer to Hunian, "I want to meet you face to face and talk about this matter in private, because this one I have destroyed is only one of the countless divine seals imprisoned, and I believe that more and more of these monsters will reappear in the world, and when the time comes, I think it will not be so easy for His Highness Garcia to rule the principality comfortably." ”

Hunian knew what he meant, and Stannis wanted a secret talk alone.

"Okay, you can come to my camp in an hour, and you can bring a few more people, but he won't be allowed to set foot in my tent. Hunian's last sentence was a reference to Hillier, and it seemed that the hatred between them was not so easy to resolve.

Although he knew that there might be a fraud, Stannis would never let go of this great opportunity to hook up with one of the Garcia family, and he could see the difference between Hunian and his father, and he seemed to be a 'good guy'.

"Okay, in an hour, I'll only bring one person. With that, the hasty meeting was over.

An hour later, Garcia's army was in the main camp

Under the unkind gaze of many people, two horses stepped into it, and the people on it were Stannis and Robert, the younger brother never escaped the fate of accompanying the eldest brother on his adventures, and in addition to this there was a donkey, which carried two large chests, and the poor waist was about to be crushed.

Led by the adjutant who had been waiting there for a long time, the two of them made their way to the middle of the barracks, which was Hunian's big tent.

The two dismounted and walked in, and found that the master was still sitting cross-legged on the ground without removing his armor, with a wine jug and some overnight chicken in front of him, although he was the eldest son of the duke, but his life looked simple.

Seeing that his guests had finally arrived, Hunian made a gesture of invitation, "Please feel free, I'm sorry that I never brought good food and wine with me on my expedition, so I can't entertain you." ”

"What a surprise!" Robert muttered unpleasantly.

But the master didn't care, "Then, Lord Justine, please continue the topic just now, right?"

"Wait. Stannis stopped, "Before I talk about those monsters, I want to get to the bottom of the missing letters, and I don't want to carry this black cauldron for some reason." ”

Hunian nodded, he also guessed that Stannis would have a hard time letting go of this.

"You wonder why these letters didn't end up in your father's hand, maybe the raven got lost in the flight. ”

“...... Or maybe there's someone who doesn't want Garcia to see this, so that you can send troops to kill me. Stannis said another possibility, and this one he preferred to believe.

Hunian narrowed his eyes, "You mean to say that my family has been fooled into being the executors of some conspiracy. ”

Stannis didn't speak, he knew that the other party was a smart man, and some things should not be broken.

Hunian thought for a moment, then told the truth: "Because my father is often sick, most of the affairs in the territory are handled by my brother Pedro, and it is he who reports to my father that he has not received any letters from Zivinie. ”
