Chapter 34: An Invitation from the Kingdom of Norton
Mandeqiu finally agreed to take the deal, and because the Zhangxiong Gyatso he had to deal with was more powerful, Mandeqiu naturally did not let his subordinates go out, but took it himself. To this end, he discussed many details with Morgan, and after some negotiations, increased the price to 120,000 gold coins. In the end, everyone was happy.
Assassination is also an art, and since Mandejou has taken over this matter, he naturally needs to know more about the people around Zhangxiong Gyatso. Morgan told him what he knew, and then suddenly remembered something, and admonished, "Oh, by the way, there's one thing I forgot to say. Beside that Zhangxiong Gyatso, there is also a Beamon giant beast, although it is only a cub now, but it is not to be underestimated. β
"What? There's a Beamon giant beast cub next to him, why didn't you say it earlier?" Mandeljou's face changed, obviously not expecting this mistake.
"Hehe, sorry, I just forgot, don't you just remember. Morgan smiled apologetically.
Mandeljow stood up, pacing from side to side, as if thinking about something. Finally, he raised his head and said, "Even if it is only the cub of the Beamon giant beast, you still know its terrifying strength, so your Norton Kingdom must add money, 150,000 gold coins." β
This vampire, Morgan scolded secretly, but he also knew that the other party's request was reasonable, thought about it, nodded and said: "I will go back to report to His Majesty the King, presumably he will not refuse." β
Well, Mandel Jou nodded with satisfaction, and didn't say anything more, but in fact, he smiled in his heart.
He had just been taken aback by the news of the Beamon Behemoth cub, but then he was excited rather than worried. Because what Morgan didn't know was that far away in the heart of the continent, one of the most powerful empires, the Elvis Empire, where the nobles liked to raise demonic beasts and fierce beasts the most. It seems that apart from the terrifying creatures like dragons, there is no existence that they do not support. If you can assassinate Zhangxiong Gyatso at the same time, by the way, capture the baby of the Beamon giant beast, and transport it to the Elvis Empire at that time, the royal family and the big nobles there will definitely not be stingy, even if they take out millions of gold coins, it is possible. After all, the Beamon Behemoth has always only existed in legends, and if you can see real creatures, it will definitely cause a sensation.
Mandeljow didn't care about the strength of the Beamon Behemoth, in his opinion, it was a pile of gold coins that could walk. On the contrary, the assassination of Zhangxiong Gyatso became a matter of convenience.
An agreement was reached, and Morgan immediately took his leave and returned to the Kingdom of Norton, waiting for Mandeljow's subsequent arrival.
After a long journey, he finally returned to the Kingdom of Norton, and Morgan immediately went to see Norton VII and told him about his contact with Mandel Jow. Although the reward was increased to 150,000 gold coins, Norton VII could still afford it, and the two had a secret conversation, and finally recruited the intelligence minister Lambert, and finally came up with a way to lure out Zhangxiong Gyatso.
As the king's emissary, Lambert will once again go to the Golden Horde in the steppe to invite Zhangzhung Gyatso to the border on behalf of the king. King Norton VII would meet with Zhangzhung Khan, and the two sides would personally sign a peace treaty, conclude complementary encroachments, and open up the question of border trade. Presumably, the peoples of the steppe are happy to start a large-scale trade with the human race, and he has no reason to refuse. And when the time comes, there will be time for Mandeljow to create an opportunity to complete the assassination.
Even in order to prevent the Golden Horde counterattack after Zhangzhung Gyatso was assassinated, Norton VII secretly ordered General Woodrow to begin to gather heavy troops and quietly send them to several border towns to garrison in case of accidents.
While waiting for Mandeljow's arrival, the Kingdom of Norton began to act. Far away in the steppe, at the Court of the Golden Horde, when Zhangxiong Gyatso met with Count Lambert again, and learned from him that Norton VII was going to meet with him, he agreed without thinking too long.
He has also wanted to get in touch with the Terran kingdom for a long time, and he can also deepen his understanding. Even if the two sides will be enemies in the future, it is never the time to tear their skins.
The time and place were agreed, and Count Lambert quickly took his leave. Zhangzhung Gyatso gathered his men to discuss the issue.
For being able to carry out large-scale trade with the human race, every orc and barbarian high-ranking person is in favor of it. After all, although the Golden Horde had a lot of Terran slaves, it was able to easily craft some tools and weapons. However, large quantities of weapons and supplies still need to be obtained by trading with the Terrans.
The only concerns raised were South Carolina Cairang and Arslen. Although Nanka Cairang also holds the position of a flag master, his main energy has been put on the formation of an intelligence agency. He was suspicious of everything, and always felt that the Terrans would not be so kind, but there was no conspiracy involved.
Arslen was also worried, because he had dealt with the Terrans too much, and he was born distrustful of the Terrans. The chief and deputy of the two intelligence departments coincide.
Zhangxiong Gyatso had also thought about this problem, but he would never have thought that he had not done any bad deeds to the human race, and the other party was already thinking about eradicating him. Therefore, he smiled and comforted the two: "Hehe, don't worry too much, I am not alone in danger to enter the territory of the human race, I will only meet Norton VII on the border of the steppe with heavy troops." When the time comes, I'll take the pile with me, and with the two of us together, even if a giant dragon comes, we can get out of it with our whole body if we can't beat it. β
Come to think of it, these subordinates are too aware of the horrors of Zhangxiong Gyatso and Bimeng Zhandui. Especially after the day of the founding of the People's Republic of China, after the miraculous scene that happened, the pile of Zhan Heap skyrocketed several times, becoming a four-meter-high giant beast, which is simply an invincible existence. Even if there are thousands of people on the Terran side, as long as they want to leave, no one will be able to leave Zhangxiong Khan.
But what should be done is still to be done, and while it is still early before the agreed time, Nanka and Arslen took action, preparing to find out some useful news from the border of the Norton Kingdom. ..................
There were still more than ten days left before the agreed time between the Golden Horde and the Norton Kingdom, and the paladin Mandeljow finally rushed from the free city-state of Maurice to the Norton Kingdom. His trip was relatively hidden, so none of the others came except for two henchmen with him.
Morgan personally took him to Norton VII, and the two sides had a secret conversation to agree on the timing of the attack. And Norton VII, according to the rules, paid half of the deposit to Mandeljow first, and then paid the other half after the matter was completed.
Mandeljow disguised himself and rushed to the agreed place at the border with his henchmen to find out the surrounding terrain in advance. He doesn't trust anyone for this, only his own eyes.
The Terran side is moving, Nanka Cairang and Arslen are not idle, they have bought off some Terran spies through briberyββββ as long as they pay enough gold coins, there are not too many Terran spies.
Although they didn't know about Mandeljou, they did get some unusual news.
Secretly, the Kingdom of Norton is quietly gathering heavy troops from other regions, all of which are gathered in a few towns on the border.
What are they going to do? Both of them felt that things were definitely not that simple, so they immediately reported it to Zhangxiong Gyatso.
