1540. Battle of the Highlands 10

Moyun Ridge North Pass, Egrod Tribal Camp.

Hearing from the guards, a noble lord has come from outside the northern city wall, and has now been invited in...... The Patriarch of Logan thought it was Lord Surdak coming.

Then I heard the guards say that the person who came was not Lord Surdak, nor any of the officers under the command of Lord Surdak, but a noble lord whom they had never seen before, and that none of them could understand the Egro language, so neither side could communicate.

It was only because they were from the Grimm Empire that they were allowed to enter the North Mountain Pass camp.

The Patriarch of Logan hurriedly asked the guards to invite the lord to the council chamber.

He remembered that a few days ago, he had received an order from Surdak to requisition and that the Agrod tribe had sent an army of 50,000 to the west along the roots of the mountains at the northern foothills.

At this time, a noble lord was sent, perhaps because of a change of plan.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but speed up my pace.

The situation on the Moyunling Heights is changing rapidly, and it is okay for the Agrod Tribal Alliance to use the wall of the North Pass to block the retreat of the Demon Legion, but it is a bit risky to want them to send troops to attack the Demon Camp in the Hosens Mountains.

There are also two tribal chiefs who are on duty at night in the council chamber, and they keep vigil in the council chamber to deal with emergencies at night on the northern city wall.

However, there was a bloody battle since the northern city wall was first built, and there has been no more fighting since then, and the demons do not operate at night.

The Agrod Tribal Alliance is guarding the North Pass, and they haven't seen the Demon Legion at all in recent times.

Surdak left behind plenty of armaments and supplies before leaving, and after the bloody battle of the last time, the chiefs of the tribes suddenly felt that those demons that were more terrible than the flood beasts did not seem to be so terrible.

When the Grand Patriarch of Logan saw the Marquis of Heller, he felt that this noble lord was more imposing than the Lord of Surdak.

No wonder the guards reported that the person was a lord.

The Council Chamber was the place where the chiefs of the Clan Alliance Army usually discussed things, and was located at the front of the rows of small buildings built behind the northern city walls.

The brick and stone square building is in the style of the Tarrapakant region, with a transept on each side of the main hall, and a ring of square rocks at the main entrance, which is filled with ashes from the burning of firewood.

A group of patriarchs gathered in the council hall, and they were gossiping with the Marquis of Heller.

They came here to exchange something with the lord from the Empire.

Warcraft materials are also good,

Magic herbs or not,

Now that the demons of the northern mountains at the foot of the northern mountain of Moyun Ridge are almost extinct, hunters from the tribe can go to the mountains further north to hunt.

Some materials that are of little use to them are good things in the eyes of this group of imperial people, and there are many materials that can be exchanged, linen and cloth, copper and iron utensils, food, daily necessities, everything.

But this noble lord sat in the council hall, his face was strained all the time, and after occasionally speaking the imperial Chinese, he found that everyone did not understand and was silent.

The walls around the hall are lit with pine torches, which are soaked in pine oil and can be burned for a long time when lit.

The room was filled with a strong smell of pine oil, and the dome of the room was so high that the smoke drifted out through the windows of the roof, and the hall was filled with fireworks.

Grand Patriarch Logan walked in from outside, and all the patriarchs stood up to greet him.

Marquis Heller saw Patriarch Logan walk in, knowing that this was the great leader of the aboriginal tribe coming, so he nodded to Patriarch Logan and asked, "Can you understand the imperial Chinese?" ”

"If we can understand something, we can do simple communication." Grand Patriarch Logan looked at Valentine. Marquis Heller, from him, smelled the unique smell of the imperial aristocracy, and the arrogance brought out of his bones was difficult to hide no matter what he did.

Marquis Heller said in a surging voice: "I am Valentine, the lord of the tundra in the western part of Moyun Ridge. Marquis of Heller. ”

He felt that he had given the most respect to an aboriginal indigenous person by speaking to him like this.

“……”

What Patriarch Logan was about to say suddenly became unspeakable.

What is called the Western Tundra Lord of Moyun Ridge, shouldn't the entire Moyun Ridge be the territory of the Surdak Lord?

If not...... The so-called handing over of Moyun Ridge to the Aigrod tribe to live and live in promised by the Lord of Surdak has become an empty talk.

But if you say ...... What Lord Surdak promised was fake, so he took out so many weapons, equipment and armaments to help the Agrod tribe form an army of more than 100,000 troops, wouldn't he shoot himself in the foot?

At this time, he really wanted to ask the Marquis of Haile, wasn't the lord of the Moyunling Heights the Count of Surdak?

Suddenly, he realized that the person sitting in front of him was actually a marquis, and the lord of Surdak heard that he was only an earl, and the rank of nobility was a big step behind.

The Grand Patriarch of Logan wanted to know more about the situation, so he leaned over and said, "I am Logan, the Grand Patriarch of the Kurman Tribe of the Aigrod Clan, what are you doing here?" ”

The string of titles made the Marquis of Heller a little dizzy to hear, but he still heard the last sentence clearly.

Marquis Heller said directly: "We also just learned that the Aigerod tribe has built a wall in the north pass of Moyunling, and I came here to borrow it from the Hegui tribe to leave Moyunling. ”

"Leaving Moyunling?" Patriarch Logan's expression changed slightly.

Further north is the northern mountain range, which belongs to the Agrod tribe, and the Logan patriarch feels that they have no reason to leave, and even if they leave, they should leave from the southern foothills of the mountain pass, and now the detour from the north mountain pass is a bit abnormal.

The tribal patriarchs sitting around saw that the face of the Logan patriarch changed greatly, and they all looked at the Marquis of Heller in amazement, and the council hall became silent for a while.

Now is the time for the Aigrod tribe and the Imperial army to unite against the demon legions, how can the Imperial army still have to take a detour out of Moyun Ridge at this time?

And the chosen road also passes through the settlement of the Aigrod tribe......

……

Marquis Heller had already keenly sensed some subtle changes in the atmosphere in the council hall, and he guessed that he had borrowed the way to leave Moyun Ridge, and the natives of these tribes would most likely not be worried about the imperial army entering their territory.

He then explained, "My army is currently being bitten by a demon legion, and the reinforcements from Handanar County can't arrive in time, so we can only prepare for the worst and choose to evacuate the northern tundra ......"

"But if we can find reinforcements to help me hold off the demons, then my heavy infantry regiment will be able to hold the ground here and wait for reinforcements to arrive."

Then he stated the purpose of his trip:

"If your tribe is willing to send troops to fight against the demon legion with us, I think it will be very beneficial for both of us to do so, and as long as you are willing to fight the evil spirits with us, I can promise to give some compensation in terms of armaments and materials."

He thought that if the Patriarch of Logan refused his offer to leave, then he would most likely agree to his second offer.

……

"Do you want us to join forces to fight off the demons?" Grand Patriarch Logan asked.

In his heart, the suspicion of the identity of the Marquis of Heller was a little heavier.

Didn't we sign the alliance contract a long time ago?

You are here...... If it is directly said that we have encountered the siege of evil spirits, please send troops to relieve the siege, I am afraid that at this moment the Agrod Alliance army has already hit the road.

But why did the Marquis of Heller go around in such a big circle?

The most likely thing is that the Marquis of Heller didn't know about the signing of the alliance contract between the Lord of Surdak and the Aigrod tribe.

"That's exactly what I do."

"I think the Agrodes tribe is building a wall here to defend against the demon legion, probably to prevent the demon legion from continuing to invade north, so it is definitely beneficial to join forces with us to fight against the demon legion."

"As long as your tribe can help us solve this crisis, I can promise that when our supplies are delivered here, I am willing to give a portion of it to our future allies free of charge."

The question in Patriarch Logan's heart was even greater.

Aren't the supplies we are using now the same as you gave them?

This Valentine. There must have been some problem between the Marquis of Heller and the Lord of Surdak, but there was no one to discuss at this time.

Grand Patriarch Logan thought for a moment before saying to Marquis of Heller: "This matter is not for me to decide alone, I need to discuss it with other tribal patriarchs. ”

"Someone, take Valentine. The Marquis of Heller and his party went to rest. ”

The last sentence of the Logan Patriarch was spoken in the indigenous language, and immediately two guards walked in and asked the Marquis of Heller to leave the council chamber.

……

Marquis Heller didn't expect that he hadn't said anything about giving away!

was invited out by this group of natives.

Marquis Heller suppressed the anger in his heart, and dared to treat him like this in Handanar City...... Only Archduke Newman.

Although they knew that this kind of discussion was necessary, it was not a good thing to enter the second round of discussions so quickly, because they simply did not listen to their own conditions.

Perhaps these natives heard their own conditions, and might have a better outcome.

Valentine. The Marquis of Heller and his guards walked through the cobblestone streets of the quarters behind the city walls, wondering what it would take to impress the great leader of the indigenous tribe.

He thought Grand Patriarch Logan seemed to be very talkative......

Maybe if you give these tribesmen some weapons, armor and horses, they will happily agree.

As the Marquis of Heller walked, he heard the whispers of the guards beside him:

"How do the buildings here have some of the same style as our Tarapakant area......"

"Yes! If I wasn't sure that I was on the Moyunling Heights now, I would have thought I was back in some small town in my hometown......"

“……”

Marquis Heller only felt as if he had been punched hard in the heart.
