Chapter 521: Second Highness's Trust
Chapter 521: The Trust of His Highness II
"Your Highness, we have to be prepared, I don't think the peace talks with the business alliance may not go so well......" Shi Fatzi reminded after returning to the inner city. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Lorist nodded with a gloomy face: "I understand, maybe the business alliance is also counting on using a city of Moron to drag down our Norton family's armed forces, and sending people to infiltrate Morent City to incite the residents to stir up a riot*, which can not only discredit our Norton family's reputation, but also add trouble to us and consume our family forces." As long as there is blood on the blade of our family's armed sword, we will naturally form a blood feud with the residents of Moriente City, and Moriente City will become another city battlefield in the future.
No one can stay in a city of hostility and hatred for long until we can't bear to kill or are forced to leave. The Business Alliance is likely to fight this idea, and it doesn't take much effort to easily recover the city of Morente, as for the millions of residents killed or injured because of them, they don't need to think about it, anyway, they can put the blame on our Norton family, and they have nothing to do with it at all......"
Lorist is really annoyed, since the business alliance has done the first year of junior high school, he might as well do fifteen, this will make Lorist wonder in his heart whether he should choose a group of high-level personnel from the various chambers of commerce of the business alliance who were captured to hang himself, and make an example of the monkey. For example, the vice president of the Liward Chamber of Commerce, and the first-level great sword master who guards the town are very good candidates, and I believe that hanging them at the city gate will definitely attract attention.
Shi Fatzi coughed a few times next to him, and successfully attracted Lorliste's attention: "What's wrong with you, do you still have a cold?"
"It's not ......" Shi Fatzi cried and laughed: "I was talking to you just now, but you didn't seem to hear it......"
Lorist blushed: "Sorry, old man, I was distracted just now, please say it again." ”
"Well, I mean we should be patient, because the Viscount Penelope and his entourage have just arrived in Maweforin Province according to their itinerary, and if the Business Alliance is willing to respond to our peace talks, it will take ten days before we can get the exact news. As for the gift that Ledos gave us, I suspect that it is very likely that the business alliance forces arranged it during the retreat, they infiltrated the city of Morent to find out information and carry out sabotage operations, and it is not clear that we need to negotiate peace with the business alliance to stop this ......war," Shi Fatzi analyzed.
"You have a point, I would have ordered Targar to interrogate these two men severely, even about their bare ass as children. Until I get an official reply from the Business Alliance, I will mercifully spare the lives of these miscellaneous people. But if the business alliance wants to negotiate peace with us and play tricks and conspiracies, I will leave them with a profound lesson that they will regret for the rest of their lives. Whichever Chamber of Commerce sends someone to Morente City to wreak havoc, I will hang all the captured high-ranking members of the Chamber of Commerce on the city wall to dry!At the same time, I will order Targer to catch one of the spies sent by these business alliances, and never let them slip through the net easily!" Lorist said viciously.
Shi Fatzi smiled and shook his head: "Your Highness, if you want to catch the secret agent, without the cooperation of those local snakes in Morent City, Lord Tugger will only become a deaf and blind man, because he can't tell who is the secret agent among the millions of residents." The meeting with Ledos gave me an idea, I still need time to investigate and think about it, to refine this idea, maybe my idea will not only get us out of the predicament, but also have unexpected gains, so I will quit first. ”
Lorist was very interested in Shi Fatzi's thoughts, but Shi Fatzi ran too fast, and the next day he took a group of family civil officials to do some investigation. Two days later, when Lorist wanted to ask Shi Fat about the matter, he didn't have time again, because His Royal Highness brought the nobles of the Antinac Kingdom to the city of Morent in a menacing manner.
The Second Highness was justified this time, and led the nobles to ask Lorist to share some of the spoils with everyone. Anyway, this time all the territorial nobles of the Antinac Kingdom united under his command, and fought with the merchant alliance forces in the Faliqiu Plain for two years, not to mention that each family suffered heavy casualties, at least there was no merit and hard work. The Norton family has taken over the famous commercial city of Moriente, the first commercial city on the mainland, and when they eat meat and their mouths are full of oil, they have to give everyone a few bones to taste, you must know that eating alone alone is the most hated.
Of course, His Royal Highness will not directly say anything to Lorist to divide everyone's share, in that case, he is also worried that Lorist will not be able to step down. Anyway, Lorist is now the sword saint of the Antinac Kingdom, and he is above 10,000 people under one person, and he can even veto his king's statecraft, so His Royal Highness and those nobles performed a bitter drama at the banquet where Lorist welcomed them.
First of all, the Second Highness lamented the hardships of the bloody battle with the commercial alliance in the past two years, and then the nobles cried poor in front of Lorlist, talking about the heavy casualties of their own family forces, huge losses and unsustainable predicaments, and the words were nothing more than hoping that Lorist could be merciful and give everyone something from the cracks in his hands, and sponsor everyone, anyway, the city of Morent is so rich, and the Norton family should also give everyone some profits.
Lorist watched with a gloomy face and listened to these nobles perform all the tragic scenes, and slammed the golden cup in his hand on the table: "Come with me!"
His Royal Highness and the nobles were very pleased, thinking that Lorist had been persuaded by them to give everyone something. As a result, Lorist led them to the conference room, beckoned the guards, took the list of seizures and account books after the capture of the city of Morente, and threw them in front of the Second Highness and the nobles: "See for yourselves, who just said that the city of Morent is rich and full of Kingford, you go out and pick it up for me." The seizures are all here, and I assure in the name of the Norton family that these books and lists are not falsified and true. Say for yourself what you want to see!"
The Second Highness and the nobles were all dumbfounded, no one expected that the Norton family, who occupied Morent City, would only have such a small profit. Baron Shaheen looked through the account book and cowardly said, Isn't there still four million gold fords, this is a huge amount of money!
Lorist slapped the table and scolded: "In order to defeat the invincible fleet of the commercial alliance, the labor-management fleet has sunk almost all the armed warships, and this loss alone is not less than 10 million, and even the family does not know where to make up the pension of the sacrificed soldiers! You think that the city of Moriente is very rich, right, let me show you this, the labor-management family has occupied the city of Moriente, and now it has to bear the responsibility of feeding 1.3 or 400 million residents! Participating in this war, the labor and capital have lost money!"
Lorist threw at His Highness and the nobles a large stack of reports on the investigation of the commercial alliance in the city of Morente for the distribution of food and household goods to a million inhabitants. Duke Kenmath flipped through a few pages and shouted: "Wonderful, this is almost out of nowhere, using white strips to replace the role of gold coins, not only saves the loss and storage of gold coins in the process of market circulation, but also effectively regulates and monopolizes all aspects of the market......"
"Wonderful fart!" said Lorist hatefully, "Labor and capital have occupied the city of Moldant, and now all the chambers of commerce in the city are gone, and this bullshit ration distribution system is over." The livelihoods of the millions of people living in the city now depend on us in the Norton family, and I feel like I'm sitting in the crater of an erupting volcano.
Fortunately, Your Majesty and you are here, and I can hand over all the five fortress cities in the hands of our family's armed forces in the city of Moriente and the Plains of Mana Hill to His Majesty and you, and all matters are left to your Majesty's decision.
We, the Norton family, participated in this war to stop the bloody war between the Merchant Alliance and our kingdom, and now that we have destroyed the Armada and captured the city of Moriente and the plains of Mana Hill, our goal has been accomplished. His Majesty is in charge of the rest of the peace talks with the Business Alliance, and we, the armed soldiers of the Norton family, are eager to return to the family domain and relatives......"
Lorist didn't even want to do anything in order to get rid of the pot, and he forgot that he wrote a letter to His Royal Highness ten days ago to ask His Royal Highness to settle down and not to sabotage his plan to negotiate peace with the business alliance. If the Second Highness is willing to take the hot potato of Moriente City over now, Llorist will be thankful, as for how the Second Highness tosses in Moriente City, it is none of his business, it is better to get out and go back to the north to accompany his wife as soon as possible.
However, the Second Highness is not a vegetarian, he immediately smiled and said that Lorist is the kingdom's Zhenguo Sword Saint, and the Norton family's armed forces are the most powerful fighting force in the kingdom, and there is nothing more suitable than Lorist and the Norton family's armed forces to sit in Molent City and the Plains of Fallihills. As His Majesty the King of the Kingdom of Antinac, he has always regarded Lorist as his brother, believing that everything he does is motivated by loyalty to the kingdom and his Majesty......
Therefore, His Royal Highness immediately appointed Lorist as the front-line commander of the Antinac Kingdom in the Falcan Plain, responsible for all combat matters against the commercial alliance. At the same time, Lorist also served as the plenipotentiary ambassador of the kingdom and the commercial alliance for peace talks, and all the terms of the peace talks were decided by Lorlist, and His Royal Highness had unconditional trust and support for Lorlist.
In order to show his sincerity, His Royal Highness also decided to give up the fortress city of Bruwick that he occupied, although he did not have any gold coins, but all the military rations stored in Bruwick City could be transferred to the Norton family......
Dizzy, Lorist didn't expect to fall deeper instead of throwing the pot. But the Second Highness is also very reasonable, as the kingdom's Zhenguo Sword Saint, in the case that the Business Alliance also has a Sword Saint, he is not on the front line, so who can sit on the front line? Except for Lorist, no one can stop the raid of the Storm Sword Saint.
Only the Juggernaut can resist the Juggernaut, or use the casualties of dozens of Great Swordsmen and more than a hundred Golden Swordsmen to kill the former Juggernaut of the Krisson Empire like the previous business alliance, but the price paid is too great for anyone to afford anymore. This is also the duty and obligation of Lorist to the kingdom as the sword master of the town country, he has to sit on the front line to guard against the enemy's sword master.
As long as Lorist is on the front line, it is impossible for the Tempest Blademaster of the Business Alliance to penetrate deep into the territory of the Kingdom of Antinac to attack other nobles or His Majesty the King. Because if he did so, Lorist would also retaliate against the upper echelons of the Commercial Alliance, who would never want to trade their lives for the life of a nobleman in the Kingdom of Antinac, even the Second Highness, the king.
"And where is Your Majesty going to station your troops in Bruvick City?" asked Lorlist.
"With Luo Qing on the front line, then I can rest assured. After two years of fierce battles with the merchant alliance in the Plains of Faliqiu, the alliance of the nobles of the kingdom is now exhausted and has no combat effectiveness to speak of. Therefore, I am going to disband the coalition and let everyone take the clan arms back to their respective family territories to recuperate. And I'm going to take the troops back to the imperial capital, I haven't been back for three years, so it's time to go back and see. His Royal Highness said affectionately.
Lorist was dumbfounded!
His Royal Highness Dare to Love II pushed the Norton family armed and Lorist in front as a shield, but he wanted to slip away!
When Lorist was about to express that I didn't want to do anything and I wanted to go home, he saw His Royal Highness grab Lorlist's hands and plead: "Please, Luo Qing, everything depends on you, and now the situation is very favorable to our kingdom." Not only did the Business Alliance lose its Invincible Armada, but even more than half of its more than 400,000 armed forces surrendered, and even abandoned the city of Moriente and the Plains of Mana Hill.
I believe that after this series of battles, the rulers of the business alliance have realized the military gap between them and our kingdom, and there is a high probability that there will be no major conflicts and wars between our two countries in the future. I think that the business alliance will make peace with us, as we hope, and then peace will not be far off.
Luo Qing, please wait here for a while, as long as you negotiate a truce with the business alliance and restore peace, you can return to the Northlands. When I return to the imperial capital, I will immediately mobilize a batch of grain and send it to the city of Morente, and I will never let your family alone bear the responsibility for the livelihood of the millions of residents in the city of Morente......"
His Royal Highness and the nobles of the Kingdom of Antinac only spent half a day and one night in the city of Morente before leaving in a hurry, leaving faster than they came. Of course, Lorist didn't let them go home empty-handed, and a batch of luxury goods seized from the inner city became personal souvenirs of their visit to the city of Moldon, which Lorist thought very well.
It's just that after the Second Highness left, Lorist fell into deep distress, why can't he be as decisive as the protagonists in those online novels in his previous life?
After feeling sorry for himself for a long time, Lorist raised his head only to find that Shi Fatzi had entered the study and sat on the sofa at some point, with a bottle of fruit wine in his hand.
"Ah, when did you come in, and where have you been these days?" asked Lorlist.
Shi Fatzi continued to pour two sips of wine before replying: "When you were lying on the table just now, I thought you were asleep, so I didn't wake you up." ”
Fat Shi handed a document beside him to Lorlist: "Look at it, this is what I thought a few days ago......
Lorist opened the folder and read two pages before jumping in surprise: "What? You want to make another business alliance?"
