Chapter 91: Negotiation
After finishing the city walls in the morning, Casio spent the afternoon inspecting the entire road leading to the mining of the ore veins. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Riding on their horses, Casio looked at the newly opened path with satisfaction, nodding his head from time to time, while Ron and the others looked around with a wary face, to prevent a wild beast from lurking and posing a threat to His Royal Highness.
The newly opened road was not very wide, almost the width of a horse-and-a half carriage. After all, for the time being, it was only used for the carriage that transported the veins, and there was no need to spend too much time and money to make it so wide.
The road leads to the ore vein, and if you ride a fast horse, it will take less than a day to get there, which is closer than Greenwater to the city of Outes.
At that time, the reason why it took Casio eight or nine days to find the ore vein was partly because Tony got lost several times, and on the other hand, it was also the reason why Casio intended to train his troops.
Walking on the smooth road, Casio couldn't help but sigh again at the talent of the Ottos.
Originally, cutting down the trees blocking the road was only basic, but the real trouble was to fill in the road and make it solid to avoid the minecart getting stuck in the dirt when it passed.
But these problems are much easier under the adjustment of the Otto Spiritual Son's technique. Not only is the road smooth, but it is also very sturdy, as if it has been walked for many years.
On the one hand, Casio is inspecting the work of road development, and on the other hand, he also wants to find Sisko and talk to see if he is willing to bring someone to join his guard.
After the beginning of spring, there was a great battle with the city of Outes, and Casio was not a person who was blindly confident, thinking that he could resist the army of Count Calvin with the little force in his hands.
Naturally, he wants to make the best use of all the resources he can grasp!
If the negotiation doesn't go well this time, Casio will have to use a tough method to get Sisko and them to fight for Greenwater!
Anyway, he didn't have that kind of virgin heart, and he felt that the other party was unwilling to serve him, so he waved his hand and let them go free.
Because Sisko is both a high-level powerhouse and the original captain of these people, Casio has always guarded against him for sedition, so Sisko's place of work has always been the closest place to Greenwater.
In this way, once something happens, he can rush to support as soon as possible.
But fortunately, nothing has happened these days, and Sisko and they are very disciplined.
After a while, Casio saw some people wielding axes in the jungle, slashing trees with great effort, and some recruits from Greenwater, watching over them.
The whole road was divided into three sections at the same time, and if there was no problem with the opening time, it would be about the same time, and Casio naturally came to the place where Sisko was located very quickly.
In the distance, Casio saw Sisko, like everyone else, wielding an axe and cutting down trees.
"Your Royal Highness. The two guards came up to Casio and saluted, reaching out to lead Casio's and Ron's horses.
Casio smiled at them and said, "Thank you for your hard work." ”
"It's not hard. The two of them suddenly looked excited and scrambled to answer first.
Casio tapped them on the shoulder, then walked towards Sisko's location.
Along the way, most of the people who saw Casio, whether it was his recruits or Sisko's group of prisoners of war, thought of him and nodded in greeting.
Casio didn't put on any shows, and responded one by one.
He naturally knew that there was a reason why Sisko's group of prisoners of war were friendly to him.
To be honest, Casio is very benevolent to Sisko. Since they came here to work, they have not only eaten three meals a day, but also have some meat dishes from time to time.
And even if they came to work here, he didn't treat them like prisoners, except for some guards, and didn't even put on basic bracelets and anklets.
Sisko then also noticed Casio's arrival, put down the axe in his hand, and said with a surprised expression: "Your Royal Highness, your arrival is really unexpected by me. ”
"Come and rest, I have something to talk to you about. ”
Immediately, Casio and Sisko went to a secluded place next to him.
Casio wasn't particular either, sat down on a rock, and beckoned to Sisko: "You're welcome, come and sit." ”
Sisko thought about it and sat down across from Casio.
Casio took out his wine bag and took a sip of wine, and said to Sisko with a smile: "Everything is good in Greenwater, but this wine has never tasted much with me." Come, you taste it too. ”
Sisko was stunned, he didn't expect Casio to make such a move. However, he pondered for a moment and took the sac. This made Casio's heart slightly relieved, and it seemed that Sisko's attitude towards him was still good.
"Are you used to staying in Greenwater?" asked Casio, as if he were an old friend.
Sisko smiled: "Your Royal Highness, you are in charge of food and shelter here, and you still have money to take." Not to mention us prisoners of war, even for ordinary people, it is definitely a good errand. ”
"That's good, I'm afraid you won't get used to it. Casio smiled, "Do you still have family in Lime City?
Sisko was silent for a moment before he said, "There's another sister, I'm just worried about her." ”
Casio nodded: "Actually, I have always felt that only someone as good as you would be entrusted by Count Lyme to investigate the matter of the ore vein. ”
These words made Sisko laugh at himself: "If it was really good, I wouldn't go to the vein." ”
Casio was not surprised to hear something out of the strings at Sisko's words.
In fact, before he came, he had already communicated with Viscount Hope, and knew that Sisko had a straightforward personality and would not be able to slip around and shoot horses, and if he didn't have a really strong strength in Lyme City, he really wouldn't be able to be a captain.
But that's about it!
"You died a lot of brothers in the conflict of the last battle, do you hate me?" suddenly popped out of Casio's mouth.
Sisko was also quite surprised, but he shook his head: "It's not hate, in fact, we, the soldiers, have long been ready to die." In battle, there is no right or wrong. What's more, you treated us extremely favorably afterwards, and even gave us a favor. ”
While Casio was thinking about how to cut into the topic, Sisko laughed: "Your Royal Highness, I believe that you came to me today to discuss these little things with me, right?"
Casio's face was not embarrassed after being exposed by Sisko, but felt that Sisko was indeed a straightforward person as Viscount Hope said.
For this kind of person, he naturally did not need to detour anymore, and said bluntly: "At the beginning of spring, I will fight a war with the city of Outes, and I need your strength! At the same time, I promise that everyone will be free, and there will be a bounty, whether they win or not, and those who die in battle will receive a large pension!"
Sisko never dreamed that Casio would make such a request, which couldn't help but silence him.
After a long time, he asked, "Your Royal Highness, although I don't know why people who should belong to the same principality as you are opposed to you, do you really believe us?"
Sisko's underlying meaning, Casio naturally understood, whether he really dared to let them get their weapons back on again.
Casio smiled: "Believe it or not, it's not up to me, it's up to you!"
The Sith subject was shocked, lowered his head, and asked, "Your Royal Highness, I think, even if I don't agree, you still have a way to let us go to battle." ”
Casio did not hide it, but admitted calmly: "Of course, but even if I use my own method to get you into battle, the final promise I gave above is the same!"
Sisko took a deep breath, raised his head, and looked at Casio's unyielding gaze: "I have to say, Your Royal Highness, you are the most honest and confident lord I have ever met!"
After a slight pause, he continued: "Please give me a few days to convince everyone. ”
Casio nodded, and a large stone fell on his heart again.
The communication with Sisko was surprisingly concise and efficient!
