1403 The Heroes (2)
In the dark night, in the silent McDauff Harbor, the fleet of the Julills family with the blue flag slowly docked in the port, and as the flagship's baffle fell, a scarlet carpet of 100 meters long was paved from the side of the ship to the dock.
A middle-aged man with a flat head and short hair and a burly figure walked in front, his steps were steady, his eyes were solemn with no anger and self-authority, followed by a pair of handsome men and beautiful women, especially the woman, a bewitching black hunting suit, high-heeled riding boots set off a pair of compass-like straight long legs, which looked very eye-catching, behind them, there were as many as 20 people of the inspection group, looking left and right, talking in a low voice,
Most of them wore black hoods on their heads, and they couldn't see too many faces.
But everyone is obviously very aware of their status, and when they walked off the deck, there was not the slightest confusion, and it was almost smooth and orderly, which is enough to show that the system of the Julils family is extremely different from top to bottom, and the more such a family, the greater the difference in the status of personnel, and the hierarchy is like this
The fat man pretended to open his hand extremely enthusiastically, completely ignoring the middle-aged man, but directly greeted Julil Hayden behind him, no one else knew, but Juliel Hayden, as a contact, still knew him, since the other party was so secretive about the list, he just took this opportunity to test it, "Lord Juliel Hayden, I haven't seen you for many days, it's really getting more and more stylish!" The fat man had a smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he didn't know that he had made a mistake, he deliberately bypassed the middle-aged man who was obviously the leader, just to see the reaction on Juliel Hayden's face, if the reaction was average, then at most a character with a similar status to Juliel Hayden, but if the reaction was greater, it meant that this person's identity was extraordinary,
Sure enough, when he saw the fat man passing the middle-aged man, he greeted himself first. Julil Hayden's face suddenly turned pale, "Hello Falcon Majesty, this is Lord Julil Fort Falcon, the chief representative of the family in this negotiation!" Juliel Hayden hurriedly straightened his attitude and introduced to the fat man with a respectful face, "Julil Forden?" The fat man's face was stunned, and a trace of imperceptible light flashed in his eyes, and the middle-aged man in front of him gave him a feeling that he couldn't see through.
"Fortunately, Falcon Majesty" Julilsforberg first extended his hand to the fat man. The fingers are thick, the sockets of the hands have thick calluses, and at first glance they look like a pair of hands that wield heavy weapons all year round "Fortunately, Lord Juliersford!" The fat man pretended to have an expression that did not know the details of the other party at all, and shook his hand lightly, and his heart was shocked again, obediently, it turned out to be the commander of the Fifth Army of the Gallic Empire who stomped his feet, and the entire northwest region trembled. It's no wonder, it is said that this guy is in the Northwest Slavic region, with 100,000 imperial troops against a million barbarians, and it is really not easy
No wonder the Julils family is so discreet and secretive. Not only because of the special identity of the other party, but also because of the fact that as the commander of the legion on the important side, the ruler of the first district, and the person whom the Julils family focused on cultivating.
Any mishap will have a terrible impact on the Julils family.
Although the Julils family was a wealthy family in Imperial Kyoto. It's not that there is no enemy, on the contrary, according to the information that the fat man knows, the situation of the Julils family in the past three years has been very delicate, although the enemy is not everywhere, but each of them is powerful, and there are many people who peep at the Julils family.
I believe that if the news spreads that this Julilsford Castle leaves the nest of the ruling district and quietly goes to Ikadiva, there will definitely be many Kyoto families who will send a large number of assassins openly and secretly, just to intercept and kill him halfway at any cost before the commander of the Fifth Army returns to the northwest lair, and uproot this big tree that supports the Julils family.
From another point of view, if a similar situation occurs among the enemies of the Julils family, the Julils family will also do the same, using the power that can be used to attack in groups, just to put the other party to death, the other party's courage is admirable, but since they have ventured to come, their demands must also be huge.
After bringing Julilsfort and his party into the castle and having a rich dinner together, Besukaya, who was temporarily serving as a waiter, brought two glasses of water, as the two main personnel of the negotiation, and the others consciously withdrew from the hall.
The fat man was not polite, and said straight to the point, "It's a surprise to be able to meet Lord Fort here, I don't know if Your Excellency has crossed the ocean this time, what urgent matters need to be discussed?" "Actually, it's not a very urgent thing" Julils Forberg looked calm, picked up the water glass with an indifferent face, took a sip lightly, and said lightly" I believe that His Majesty also knows that my Julius family is the head of the northwest region of the Gallic Empire, and His Majesty's army crossed the sea to conquer Normandy, and successively defeated the coalition forces around Normandy, which has caused the entire northwest coast to shake, and the empire attaches great importance to this incident, and the emperor issued a transfer order in July, and in August he was ready to mobilize a large army to start a war with the Falcon Kingdom, and it was our efforts to dissuade this matter to temporarily ease it......"
"Normandy?" The fat man's eyes flickered, knowing that the other party said this, obviously wanting to stand on the righteousness, as long as he felt that he was at a loss, the negotiation would be at a disadvantage, and this was the time when he couldn't let go.
A coldness rose on the fat man's face, the corners of his mouth grinned, and he said coldly, "Do you need to talk about any reason for going to war against the despicable and shameless bandits who have killed their own people and wantonly sold them to other continents?
"Since he is a robber, he should naturally be killed!" Julier Fort did not raise his eyes, it seemed that the demise of millions of Normans was just a normal thing, still an indifferent expression, but his eyes revealed a fine light that was difficult to hide, as if he had known that the fat man would say so, and smiled at the corner of his mouth
"Your Majesty has killed all the Normans, but you still occupy the land of Normandy, and now you say that you are killing robbers, if your Majesty kills robbers, does you really think of me as a three-year-old child?"
said in a deep voice, "The weak eat the strong, you fight for me, this is the way of national survival, Your Majesty has this strength, and others have nothing to say,
But Normandy is also the land of the Empire after all!, Your Majesty's actions are already an invasion," Julils Forburg's voice began to sharpen, "Although I, the Julils family, cannot yet enter His Majesty's gaze. However, in the northwest region, it can be regarded as the foundation of several decades, with 100,000 regular heavy armoured troops of the empire, plus the troops requisitioned by other countries, the total number can reach 300,000, and the military strength of your country must be roughly comparable."
"Our army is the elite of a hundred battles with one enemy and a hundred battles!" the fat man said with a calm expression
"I am waiting for work, and His Majesty is an expedition of laborers, and the mainland is isolated from the long ocean, whether it is logistics or troop replenishment, it is the most fatal weakness, even if His Majesty's soldiers are brave and good warriors. As long as the sea support line is cut off, His Majesty Ren is a million-strong army, and there is only one result: collapse and annihilation."
"You ......" The fat man's eyes narrowed slightly, his fingers clenched slightly, a good Juliersford Castle, really worthy of being the general of the ruling side, with keen eyes and chiseled words, every sentence was pointed at his own weakness. It seems to be ill-intentioned
His gaze swept over the flash of anger on the fat man's face, and Julil Lesford's tone began to soften, "His Majesty is known as a generation of military gods, and he must be well aware of this, if this matter is dragged into war." It is not good for anyone! His Majesty does not want to take such a risk, and we do not want to be taken advantage of by the enemy because of this, so this time I have come to hope to put an end to this matter as soon as possible. If it can be resolved peacefully, it will be better than a war."
"A peaceful settlement?"
The fat man's face suddenly showed a coldness, since the other party had made his attitude clear. As long as you can get a buffer period for a period of time, and when the foundation of Normandy is laid, you will not be afraid of the danger from the Gallic Empire, and the other party obviously sees this, opening the Julils family and closing the Juliets family, it is obvious that the other party is already showing that the Julils family can help them withstand the pressure from the imperial side, but they need a guarantee, otherwise when they are relieved, it will be the turn of the Juliets family.
The agreement is probably just a butt wiping paper, and it feels safe when you hold it in your hand, and you will never hesitate to throw it away
"The old way, marriage!" Julils Fort said resolutely, "I have never believed in such a thing as an agreement, in an overseas region like Your Majesty, an agreement is not as valuable as a cowhide that wipes your ass, I think Your Majesty must have thought the same in her heart!" "This ...... How is that possible!" The fat man wiped the sweat on his head with an embarrassed face, this old fox!" "Let me rest assured, only by turning you into our own family, then the voices from other parts of the empire will have nothing to say" The corner of Julilsford's mouth showed a sneer, looking extremely confident, it is no wonder, although the Julils family is in decline, but it is political,
Militarily, the Julils family has aggravated its bias in recent years, coupled with the foundation of decades of conquest in the northwest region, in addition to Fort Julilsford, there are several generals who command the army are also in the northwest region, almost the entire northwest has become the family's private land, if you want to move the Julils family that can pull out 300,000 troops, even the emperor Xià needs to be considered
"I already have ten princesses!" said the fat man with a depressed face.
"Then it's even better, ten and eleven, there should be no difference for His Majesty!" "Julil Fort's eyes narrowed, like an old fox, "And I believe that His Majesty will not refuse this marriage, the northwest is the northwest of the Julils family, unless the other party is willing to risk an all-out war with our Julils family, this kind of person, I dare to guarantee that the entire empire will not exceed three!"
"That's three too, I still have a feeling of insecurity!" The fat man blew up and decided to play the scoundrel, at the critical moment, this trick can often work wonders, but unfortunately, this time he bumped into an old rascal like him
"Your Majesty is really interesting, to be honest, this is the real reason why I want to marry Your Majesty!" Julietsford laughed
"What?" the fat man was dumbfounded,
"If the hard ones don't work, the soft ones will come, and if the soft ones can't be good, they will simply play tricks, as long as they can take advantage of them, they will lose face or something! Your Majesty is really as shameless as the outside world rumores!" "Julilsfort suppressed his smile, glanced at the fat man with crooked corners of his mouth, and said with a mysterious smile, "Does Your Majesty know who the new consul of the northwest coast is?" "New consul?" The fat man's face darkened, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Does this have anything to do with me?"
"Of course, I can tell my majesty frankly, who is the marriage of my Julils family, and who is the new consul of the northwest coast this time" Julilsford's face turned stern, his eyes were shining, and he said sharply, "Now I know." If His Majesty is not our own, then even if the family is taken advantage of by the enemy, my Julils family will use all their strength to uproot His Majesty from the Normandy area, and the side of the couch will not allow others to snore, Your Majesty should understand!"
"You're threatening me!"
The fat man hated it so much, this guy's momentum was very strong, almost not inferior to himself, and this guy was right, in order to stabilize the new government that had taken countless efforts to achieve, the Julils family would inevitably do their best to clean up the entire northwest coast. According to the current situation in Normandy, it is indeed impossible to withstand the full mobilization of the Julils family.
Normandy is the salient of the northwest coast, a flat place of death, once it is broken into the outer barrier, there is almost no danger inside, and it was driven straight from the coast at the beginning, and even the expeditionary force was able to cross and cross. Almost unstoppable, thanks to Normandy's unique topography
"No, I'm inviting you!"
Julil Sfort looked serious: "If the two of us join forces, not only the northwest region will be ours." Even other regions can be touched at the right time! His Majesty has swept through Ikadivar at such a young age, and I believe that His Majesty's ambition should be more than just Normandy. I've heard rumors that the talons of a falcon never fail!"
"Ahem!" the fat man almost squirted out of his mouth, choking on the water, and his face was red. If it weren't for the fact that the person in front of him was Julils Forberg, he really suspected that the other party was an old guy full of gossip, and muttered, "Well, even if I agree to marry, how can I believe that your Julils family will support me!"
"That's not a problem!" Gillier Fort looked relaxed, clapped his hands, and one of Julilforburg's men walked in, Julilforburg whispered in his ear, and the subordinate turned away,
Soon, the man came in with a delicate orange elm box, which was placed on the table for two, and the man respectfully stepped back, and the door closed again from the outside
"Let's take a look, maybe there's a surprise!" said Julil Forborg, gesturing his hand at the fine box on the table, "It's ...... Human head!" Confused sniffling, a faint smell of blood mixed with lime, the fat man's eyes were completely open, and his eyes turned around the wooden box on the table, "Alfred" Julil Fort picked up the water cup with a breezy face, touched the lid of the water cup with his hand, slid it left and right, and said a name that made the fat man feel unfamiliar
"Alfred?" the fat man was recalling, but he didn't seem to have much impression, there were too many enemies, who remembered,
"The prince of the Duchy of Nysta," said Castle Julil Fort again, "it is said that this fellow has been your prisoner, and has a great opinion of you, and secretly writes letters to many countries on the western coast, slandering you as a brutal invader, a murderer of the Normans, a wanted man by the Emperor's Majesty, and declaring that he will form a five-nation alliance to launch a second crusade against Normandy!" "Oh, when you say that, I think of a very stubborn little fellow!" The fat man remembered this fellow, and he himself released him from prison
"There should be no mercy in dealing with the enemy! Otherwise, you will get yourself into trouble!" Julils Forberg smiled, and he didn't know whether to say it casually or mean something else, but the fat man heard it, this was a naked threat,
It is said that this guy fought against the Slavs in the northwest, and he was a murderer, and everywhere he passed, the barbarians were almost swept away, and the tribes destroyed were close to three digits, a real professional butcher, the kind that children can stop crying at night, and it is estimated that even the people of Dongting will be frightened by this guy, "Help you dispose of him, it is to show that my Julils family, in this matter, absolutely support you!" Julils Fort tapped his finger on the table lightly, "Now the entire northwest coast, everyone knows that you are a member of my Julils family!" But if the marriage fails, I'm sure it will be a different story!
The countries waiting to see the excitement are not only a few small countries near Normandy, they are not moving because they are waiting for orders!
These guys' armies are not very strong, but they have always liked to do some things to rob people and sell slaves, which will make you feel very troubled! You spend so much money, don't you just want to fill the population gap in Normandy, and when you meet these guys, you will definitely lose all your efforts, and in less than three years, the whole of Normandy will be a wasteland!" "Okay, you win, I promise to marry"
The fat man took a deep breath, since the old fox of Fort Juliel Fort dared to say such a thing, it proved that he was in control, his troops in Normandy were less than 40,000 men, and the logistics were almost equal to nothing, and it was said that the eyes of the soldiers who ate fish every day lit up. Moreover, Salon's army was mainly infantry, and it was completely unable to deal with this kind of guerrilla warfare, which was mainly based on raids and harassment, and the tigers could not stop the wolves!
"A wise choice!" said Juliel Fort with a slight grin at the corner of his mouth. For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
