Chapter 81: The White Dove of Peace (2)
"My lord, the howitzers and various new weapons transferred from that group of goblins have been arranged, ready to suppress the town riots, and in addition, the spirit monkey brigade of the Four Spirit Legions in the city has also been lurked," Kodil reported to Wang Xiaotian very calmly.

"Hmm. β
Nodding, Wang Xiaotian at this moment stood at the head of Bol City, looking at the vehicles coming and going at the east gate of Bol, with a distant expression, as if he was thinking about something.
In the former Bol City on the edge of the Great Wilderness, in addition to the merchants of the Great Wilderness, the most people were mercenaries and adventurers, and the barren land could not attract more business opportunities, so Wood sought change, hoping to change his situation through war.
And less than a month after Bol fell into the hands of Wang Xiaotian, nearly thirty percent of the nobles in the entire Western Wilderness have sent people here, and the aristocratic vehicles coming and going in the past few days are estimated to be the sum of the past few decades in Bol City.
"I didn't expect this peace invitation to attract so many nobles......"
With a little sigh, Wang Xiaotian's not-so-tall figure stood alone on the wall of Bol, observing the noble envoys who entered Bol one after another with an unnoticed attitude.
In fact, a peace treaty can't attract so many nobles, and the reason why these nobles come is that there are too many factors in it.
One of the biggest factors is political demand.
For the chaotic West, different nobles have to pursue their own interests, they cannot blindly rely on force to decide everything, and sometimes allies and compromises will be more beneficial than war.
In the period of fighting, "the weak huddle together, the strong trade" is a political need, but under the same Felix lineup, they lack the opportunity to communicate.
The peace treaty proposed by Dick Chubby, in this sensitive period, relied on his own inflated power, which very cleverly provided an opportunity for the nobles under Felix's lineup.
After all, it's rare to get together so many nobles.
And the person who provided this opportunity, Baron Dick, on the surface, he has "one city and seven towns", and his own strength is absolutely strong, but this tiger is bound by the "peace treaty", so in this tiger's territory, these nobles can avoid Felix and make certain transactions.
If political necessity is the pursuit of the interests of this aristocratic gathering, then there is another important factor that led to this grand occasion, and that is the nature of women.
A woman's nature leads to a busy situation.
In a sense, the war has made the relationship between the territory and the territory tense, and for the romantic, extravagant and naΓ―ve ladies and ladies, the meaningless war makes it impossible for them to participate in various balls and to go in and out of various celebrity places.
And this grand "Peace Treaty Ball" is clearly written on its invitation, sincerely inviting all the distinguished lords and beautiful ladies.
In such a period, the nobles with real power will definitely not go out at will, and the only ones who can represent them are the envoys and their clansmen, so the ladies and the envoys of their husbands' families began to go to the banquet with great interest.
......
"How's Dick's doing?"
As if thinking of something, Wang Xiaotian asked Kodil next to him very casually.
"Everything is normal," Cordil replied with a twitch at the corner of his mouth.
It's no wonder that Cordill's expression is weird, it's really that this little fat man's current market is not good.
Since a few days ago, there have been nobles entering the city of Boer, and the first time they entered the city was to visit this little fat man, and for a while, all kinds of vehicles were parked in front of the original Viscount Wood's mansion.
For the major nobles, the actual controller of Boer City and the surrounding territories is Little Fat Dick, and the real mastermind behind the scenes, Wang Xiaotian, is ignored by everyone.
So, on the bright side, all the silly and sweet aristocratic ladies and charming aristocratic ladies came to visit this rising star one by one, and secretly, the envoys accompanying them carried out various temptations to check.
This little fat man is good, I don't know if he is very relieved of the Four Spirits Legion, or he has no heart and lungs, he really does not refuse to come to visit, and he does not show the slightest depth and scheming of that kind of warlord, and he has a proper image of greed for money and lust.
Despite this, Wang Xiaotian really couldn't let this little fat man be touched, so Kodil became the one who wiped the little fat man's ass.
Just the last three days.
In the Four Spirit Legion, the Spirit Monkey Brigade, which served as scouts and special forces, secretly captured no less than twenty groups of spies from different forces.
At this moment, the Viscount Wood's Mansion is not a little weaker than the garrison of the Baron's Mansion where Wang Xiaotian temporarily lives.
In the Viscount's Mansion, there were more than a dozen spirit monkey squads hidden in the shadows, and the inkblade scout squads accompanying the army were also dormant in a few teams.
"Everything is normal?" Wang Xiaotian looked at Cordier a little strangely.
"Yes, everything works. β
Kodil stubbornly said: "In the past few days, we have eliminated eight of the scout teams that invaded the Viscount's Mansion, and three of them still have silver-level scouts, and the silver lurkers who have been specially trained to lurk alone have also killed six people. β
"What about the situation in the city?" Wang Xiaotian continued to ask.
"There are my eyeliners everywhere in the city, many active rats have been swept away by me, and the wind is basically calm, and the entourage of these human nobles is monitored by corresponding people, and there will be no big mess. β
I have to say that Cordier has done a very comprehensive job compared to the irascible orcs of Kree.
"It's good that there won't be a big mess, then the fat man's side, just make sure he's safe. β
Wang Xiaotian nodded, to be honest, for this fat man, Wang Xiaotian really didn't think that he would be as brainless as he appeared.
First of all, in the secret talks not long ago, the "peace treaty" proposed by the fat man perfectly solved Felix's suspicion problem, in Wang Xiaotian's view, his foundation is in the Great Wilderness, and this Boer city should not invest too many troops, therefore, it is undoubtedly the best plan to avoid Felix's suspicion.
Secondly, the "celebrity banquet" attached to the peace treaty gave Wang Xiaotian an opportunity to expand the sales of the Gray Stone Alliance's goods, after all, things like perfumes and cigarettes, only the nobles of this world have enough spending power.
In the end, it was this little fat man who showed vigilance and shrewdness when Wang Xiaotian proposed that he should be in charge of Pol City and other territories.
This little fat man is definitely a shrewd slippery head, this is Wang Xiaotian's impression of Dick.
......
Just as Wang Xiaotian was thinking, the sun hidden by clouds in the sky east of Boer City gradually appeared, and the warm sunlight sprinkled on the earth.
At the end of the earth, the city of Boer stood silently, and in the distance, the sun outcropped, and the carriage drove over the hills.
For a while, as if he had a feeling, Wang Xiaotian couldn't help but gently chant a famous sentence of the great man of the past.
"The west wind is strong, and the geese in the sky are called frost and the morning moon. Frost and moon, the sound of horses' hooves is broken, the sound of trumpets is swallowed; β
The wind is noisy, the eagle is in the air, facing the sun, watching the carriages and horses coming and going, standing at the head of Boer City, Wang Xiaotian seems to express the depression in his chest with the words of his hometown.
"From the beginning, the mountains are like the sea, and the remnant sun is like blood. β
