Chapter 510 Guarantees and Decisions

Lorist looked at the pale Duke Fausta with a smile, killing him? Is it interesting? Seventeen or eighteen years have passed, and it was not Duke Fausta's fault at that time, his girlfriend made her own choice to leave him, whether it was for her Windsor family or Lorlist's refusal to become her knight, none of this mattered, what mattered was the unforgettable love that Lorist experienced, the only first love in two lives.

First love is so beautiful, but the pain it brings is so memorable. Lorist can't forget the loveless, heart-rending pain and the feeling of losing the most beautiful thing. It was the broken love that finally made him see the true face of this world, the territorial nobles are the ruling class of the Gelinthia continent, a free mercenary and the gold medal teacher of the Dawn Academy are nothing in front of the territorial nobles......

Lorist didn't expect to take revenge on Duke Fausta, so much time has passed, and the painful memories of the past have become a past worth remembering, but there is less resentment and more sighs in the nostalgia, and the fate of people is unpredictable, just like Duke Fausta never dreamed that his wife's ex-boyfriend would appear in front of him.

If Lorist had been a down-and-out mercenary, perhaps the Duke of Fausta would have been merciful enough to sponsor a few gold coins to get a few words of flattery, and then go home and tell his wife about it as a joke. sighed that if his wife had rejected her pursuit and was loyal to love, she might be just a civilian woman busy with housework now. This will become a flirtatious joke between husband and wife, and perhaps Mrs. Winna will please and satisfy herself with all kinds of tenderness.

But now Lorist has become a legendary existence like a dragon, whether it is the Grand Duke of the Northland or the head of the Norton family, they are all comparable to the Duke of Fausta. In addition, the only new Sword Saint who has been promoted in a hundred years, the Blood Sword Saint who can make the Storm Sword Saint lose both, this status is even more unattainable for Duke Fausta. In front of Lorlist, Grand Duke Fausta discovers that he is nothing more than an ant.

Seeing that Duke Fausta's face was getting paler and his body began to tremble, Lorist also lost his interest, and there was no need to scare people out of heart disease. Picking up a glass of wine, Lorist smiled and said, "Please don't worry, His Royal Highness the Duke of Fausta, I just want to catch up with you." Time flies so fast, seventeen or eighteen years have passed in a blink of an eye, when I studied in the city of Morent as a mercenary, but now things are wrong, I went back to my family territory to inherit the title and territory, and became an enemy of the business alliance, this is something I never thought of...... Alas, come, everybody drinks. ”

The Duke of Fausta did not know how to finish the wine in his hand, and he did not even taste it. When he sat down tremblingly, he found that the back of his underwear was soaked. Viscount Penelope, who was beside him, took a glass of wine and saluted Lorlist, and after drinking this glass, Viscount Penelope asked with great interest: "His Royal Highness the Grand Duke of Norton, you said that you studied in Morente City as a mercenary, can you tell me about this experience?"

Lorist also drank a few more drinks at this time, and the conversation was very interesting, and he recalled his ten years of study in Moriente, as a black iron mercenary as a college teacher. Talking about the Dawn Academy's use of his swordsmanship to set up a ring to sweep away the three thousand silver-rank swordsmen and mercenaries in Morent City, Viscount Penelope exclaimed in surprise: "It turns out that the black iron locke back then, the silver invincible turned out to be His Royal Highness, at that time, hundreds of silver swordsmen of our invincible fleet suffered losses under your sword, and I also lost nearly a hundred gold fords on you......"

Lorist laughed smugly.

Viscount Penelope complimented: "No wonder His Highness can be promoted to the Sword Saint so quickly, I think that Black Iron Lock, Silver Invincible was a legend in Moriente City." It's just that at that time, I happened to be a two-star gold and was about to be promoted to a three-star gold, but I missed His Highness's wonderful competition. When I wanted to meet you after I was promoted to the Golden Three-Star promotion, I found out that you had left the city of Morent......"

This is a polite remark, Penelope was already a golden three-star swordsman at that time, and he was not interested in paying attention to a low-level black iron swordsman, even if the other party became a legend of Moriente City, it was just a matter of adding a little more to the discussion of gold-level swordsmen and mercenaries. But everyone knows that there is no need to worry about this.

However, Viscount Penelope sighed that if Lorist hadn't returned to the Northland to inherit the family domain and title, he might have become a sword master of the Commercial Alliance now, and he would definitely become the upper nobles of the Commercial Alliance. In this way, the Armada is still an Armadada, and it will not suffer the defeat it has suffered so far, and fate is really playing tricks......

Lorist smiled but didn't answer, Viscount Penelope was thinking too much. If he stayed in the Commercial Alliance and did not return to the family territory, then there would be no northbound convoy, and the island of Hilowas would not have become the territory of the Norton family, and Lorist would not have obtained the secret of glass manufacturing and deliberately provoked a war between the Commercial Alliance and the Kingdom of Trimber, so that the Commercial Alliance embarked on the road of military expansion because of the glass war and became the first power of Gaylintia.

Without the Glass War, if the business alliance wants to implement the lord system, it can only attack the former Krisson Empire, and will still maintain friendly relations with various countries in Central and South China. Lorist will stay at Dawn Academy and continue to be a happy gold medal teacher and part-time mercenary, he is not interested in caring whether Shilois Island will become the territory of the Chikde Chamber of Commerce, and it is impossible for Lorist to become a nobleman of the Business Alliance, without the experience of blood, fire and war, it is difficult to say whether he can become a sword master, and the development of this world will become different......

After talking for a long time, Viscount Penelope finally asked the question that the captives were concerned about: "Your Royal Highness the Grand Duke of Norton, can I ask what you are going to do with us who are in the Armada?"

Lorist smiled and nodded: "Lord Viscount, I will say it without you asking, for you high-ranking people of the Invincible Armada, you can pay the ransom and go home after this war, and I guarantee that the Norton family will not make it difficult for you at this point." Everyone is an aristocrat, so naturally it can be handled according to the traditions of the nobility. Just like the Archduke Fausta just worried about his family's armed Firebird Legion, I can also allow their family to redeem it, but on the condition that they stay in peace before the end of the war and do not provoke trouble during the captivity, otherwise we can't blame the Norton family for not taking care of them if something happens, don't you think that's the truth?"

Viscount Penelope, the nobles of the commercial alliance, nodded yes.

Lorist put down his glass: "I am ready to place the personnel of the Armada and the Firebird Legion and the two thousand guards of the Grand Duke of Fausta on the island of Hilowas, waiting for the end of the war. After the war, the Firebird Legion and the guards were naturally redeemed by the Grand Duke of Fausta or the Tila family. The same goes for the members of the Armada, if the Business Alliance is willing to redeem them, I can release them, and I can also allow their families to pay for it.

If they don't have the money, then they have two ways to get free, one is to join our family's North Sea Fleet to serve us for five years, and the five years will be halved as their own ransom. The second is to serve five years of hard labor for our family, and these five years are not paid. But I can guarantee that they will be fed and clothed, that they will not be deliberately abused, and that they will be given freedom when the five years are up. ”

"Of course, you don't have to go to the island of Hilovas. Lorist glanced at the nobles present: "You can follow me and do your part to end this bloody war that has lasted for three years, so that all the people involved in this unfortunate war can return to a peaceful and peaceful life as soon as possible." As aristocrats, the Norton family naturally respects everyone's natural power. You are allowed to carry weapons and bring two escort attendants and two servants to take care of your life. After all, in war, the conditions are limited, so I can only ask everyone to bear with me......"

Generally speaking, after the nobles became prisoners of war, they received far more treatment than those civilian prisoners of war, as long as they did not escape, they could still maintain freedom and aristocratic courtesy in the barracks, and their clothing, food, shelter and transportation were the same as usual. In the case of land warfare, the captured nobles could also have their own horses and vehicles, personal attendants, and servant grooms. Now the treatment given by Lorist is already the best.

The nobles of the merchant alliance, such as Viscount Penelope, finally relented, because the war between the merchant alliance and the Kingdom of Andinac was unusual. His Royal Highness, who was slapped in the face by the business alliance and angered by the business alliance's coercive conspiracy, once publicly declared that he did not recognize the noble title of the business alliance, and rebuked the so-called nobles of the business alliance as just a group of lowly and shameless businessmen, who did not have the faith of the nobles, lacked the sense of honor of the nobles, and could only play tricks.

Therefore, after the two or three hundred thousand troops retreating from the armies of the commercial alliance in Armenia Province won a great victory, His Royal Highness ordered all the nearly 1,000 nobles of the merchant alliance who were captured to be beheaded for public display, and thus began a bloody battle with the commercial alliance that lasted for three years. And the commercial alliance also retaliated with a tooth for a tooth, and all the captured nobles of the Andinac kingdom were also dead. The bloody war that took place in the Falcan Hill Plain in the past three years has made the two sides have formed a blood feud.

Although the Armada is in its own right among the forces of the Merchant Alliance, it has also heard of the tragic fate of the nobles of both sides who were captured in the bloody battle of the Plains of Fala Hill. They had already received Lorist's assurance when they surrendered, but they were still a little scared in their hearts, and it was not until now that they got Lorlist's reassurance, and they let go of their hearts. You must know that Lorist is not only the Northland Grand Duke of the Antinac Kingdom, but also the Sword Saint of the Town Kingdom, and his guarantee is naturally much more effective than His Majesty the King.

At this time, Duke Fausta had calmed down, and he found that if he went to the light of the Juggernaut, then this Grand Duke of Norton was still relatively easy to speak, with a gentle attitude, polite to everyone, and did not look down on everyone's prisoner of war status. Although this is only a façade, it can at least be seen that Lorist is not a narrow-minded person who will repay him. Coupled with the assurances that Lorist had promised to treat everyone favorably, Duke Fausta stood up again and again.

"Your Royal Highness, Your Highness the Grand Duke of Norton, can I communicate with my family in order to urge them to send someone to negotiate the terms of redemption with your family as soon as possible?" Duke Fausta requested.

"Hmm......" Lorist looked at Duke Fausta and began to tap his middle finger on the table.

"Your Royal Highness, Your Highness the Grand Duke of Norton, I have no other meaning. I'd love to help you put this damn war to a halt sooner rather than later. It's just that as the head of the Luo Fei family in the Kingdom of Chigda, I sometimes have to do things that I don't even want to do. I believe that His Royal Highness the Honorable Grand Duke should understand this, after all, we are not alone, and the future and development of a family depend on us, the heads of the family, to grasp and make choices.

The Kingdom of Chigeda is located in the southern part of the continent and has little connection to the Kingdom of Antinac. Sending troops to help in the war is only to fulfill the responsibility of an ally. Moreover, now that our clan clan has become a prisoner of war of the Norton family before they have disembarked, I want to write to the clan in the hope that they will not be in a mess because of this, so as not to give those enemies who covet our Tilapia family an opportunity to take advantage of it, and at the same time to stabilize them, so that they do not panic and cause any turmoil in the family. ”

Duke Fausta's explanation made the captured nobles present feel close to each other and bow their heads one after another. If any family like Duke Fausta is captured, even the family armed army and himself are captured, it will be no less than a shocking change for the family, and if it is not handled well, it will have a very bad effect, and even allow the family's enemies to find an opportunity to launch a deadly attack. Thinking of the escape of the Grand Young Master of Sereham, then the news of the defeat and surrender of the Armada and the capture of the Firebird Legion would soon spread throughout the southern part of the continent, no wonder the Duke of Fausta was in a hurry to communicate with the family.

Lorist pondered for a moment, and finally nodded: "I understand your feelings, His Royal Highness the Grand Duke Fausta, if it were me, I would also be anxious." I agree that you and your clan will communicate that you can send two of your cronies as messengers back to the kingdom of Chigeda to deliver your letters to your clan. When you can let me know when you have written a letter, I will arrange for the messenger to take a ship to the kingdom of Chigda. ”

Duke Fausta was overjoyed and bowed to Lorlist: "Thank you for your kindness and generosity, Your Royal Highness the Honorable Grand Duke of Norton, if possible, I hope that our Tila family will never become an enemy of you and the Norton family, one lesson is enough." ”

Lorist laughed: "Of course, Duke Fausta, the Norton family is not a warlike family, we love peace, and we go out to stop the war, not to let the war burn longer and stronger." Just like the war between our kingdom and the business alliance that has lasted for three years, enough blood has been shed, and it should have ended a long time ago. Come on, let's have a toast, let this damn war end early, let the bell of peace ring as soon as possible, and everyone can be free to return to their hometown as soon as possible to enjoy great peace and happiness, do it!"

The banquet lasted until midnight, and the guests and hosts were happy, and many nobles were drunk. However, Lorist was still very sober, and courtesy and favor to these captured nobles were both aristocratic traditions and other reasons, and after the capture of the city of Morente, it was up to these nobles to make a truce between the merchant alliance and the Kingdom of Antinac and sign a peace agreement, especially the Duke of Fausta who could come in handy.
