The silver moonlight swayed and gentle, reflecting on Parschena's dreamlike beautiful face, and the fat man's heart couldn't help but tremble quietly.

Today, Parschena did not wear the long priestly robe that could cover her body, but a pale white long gauze skirt, and when the night breeze blew, a pair of long jade legs were faintly revealed, although they were only wrapped around her body very casually, but it was enough to show the mature and fatal attraction of a woman.

It's just that the expression on his face is a little strange, even if it looks very gentle, it is also that kind of strong and quiet awe, which makes the fat man have an ominous premonition in his heart

"But what's wrong with Nilai's Northern Army?" the fat man asked in a whisper as he stopped his restless hand and took advantage of Parschena's patience to endure it

How do you know?" Parschena's red face was full of surprise, staring at the fat man's eyes full of horror, this is a question that keeps hovering in her heart, she wanted to say it from the moment the fat man came in just now, but she couldn't find a suitable opportunity, and she didn't expect to be seen through by the fat man at a glance

"This is nothing strange According to our intelligence, the fat man said with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "With the expansion of the number of the northern army, the nobles of the north and the south do not seem to get along harmoniously, although it is called the northern army, in fact, most of the soldiers are southerners, and they are more and more inclined to the command of the southern nobles.

While Parschena was still surprised, the fat man's thief hands quietly grabbed Parschena's unbearable little waist, which was as soft and smooth as silk as expected.

The fat man's gaze crossed Parschena's shoulder, and a pair of trembling snow-white hemispheres could almost be seen from the loose chest, perhaps because there was no ** restraint in it, so it was particularly active, and the inadvertent tremor could make the man horny,

"Yes, the current northern army is divided into two factions, the north and the south" Parschena frowned, as if she did not notice the fat man's hateful gaze in the dark,

Or deliberately pretending not to see, anyway, he had already been seen by the fat man once, Parschena whispered" Unlike the northern faction's request to stabilize the sphere of influence and expand the maritime trade with Wiki, the southern faction seems to be more hopeful that they can take Kyoto, and then take advantage of the situation to move south to regain lost territory, as for the Wiki army as a third party, the southern faction believes that the affairs of the Salander people must be decided by the Salander people, and the Wikians should unconditionally withdraw Nilai as a mediator between the two factions, many things cannot be handled, this time she specially asked me to come, just to send a message to you"

"What are you saying?" the fat man raised his eyebrows, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes as bright as stars, "As my woman, do you need someone else to pass on the word?"

It's like this" It's the first time Parschena has seen the fat man angry, the current fat man is not the Marquis of Victonse, but the overlord of the dominant continent, his face turned pale with fright, and he hurriedly commented, "Nilai said that you have a special identity, any decision may involve the fate of several kingdoms, and her unauthorized request may touch the interests of Vekia, instead of being scolded by you as a wolf, let me find out, anyway, you won't even scold me."

"Ahh What is this......"

The fat man was speechless when he heard this, no matter how he sounded like he was coquettish, looking at the fat man's surprised look, the sky sacrifice Parschena who was still strict just now quietly covered her mouth and smiled

"Nilai wants you to make peace with Kyoto Truce" Parschena raised her head cautiously with some hesitation, and said with a flickering gaze, "Nilai thinks that if the current Northern Army invades Kyoto, not only is it not a good thing, but it may lead to a series of terrible consequences."

"Oh, why do you think so?" the fat man looked solemn, it was really a bit of a loss to make peace with Kyoto now, and it would take a year and a half to squeeze the wealth of Kyoto out

Parschena's face was a little ugly, her voice paused, and she continued, "With the advance of the Northern Army, the Southern faction, which accounts for the majority of the Northern Army, has been carried away by hatred and arrogance,

They completely forgot that it was the Viktian army that defeated Salander Kyoto, and instead blindly optimistic that now was the time when the southerners were at their strongest, and they continued to gather refugees on the surface of waging jihad to regain lost territory, and the number of them was more than twice that of the northerners. Now not only clamoring to capture Kyoto and regain the south, but also secretly connecting some of the original northern army generals and making an agreement to expel the Vikia army.

This is a dangerous sign, Nilai doesn't want the northerners to get involved in this turmoil, not to mention that the Grand Duke is her favorite person, even if she dies, she can't agree to do this, but suddenly asking the Grand Duke to make peace with Kyoto, she really can't say it."

"This stupid girl ......" The fat man lovingly hugged Parschena, whose face was quietly pale, and quietly kissed her on the smooth forehead, "Haven't she seen it yet, I have no intention of beating Salander Kyoto at all,

As for the dispute between the north and the south, I am less and less interested, the reason why I fought with Salander Kyoto is because I promised to give her a strong and prosperous north, and now she wants to take the northerners back, not only will I not stop it, but I will also let the navy escort along the way, but it would be a pity to let Kyoto go like this, so I have to mean it."

It seemed that she thought what the fat man said was funny, and Parschena suddenly laughed out loud, "I didn't expect the Grand Duke to be such a man who values love and righteousness when I came, but I speculated for a while, but I don't know how much this means, but I am also a member of the negotiation team, so I can always pass on a word."

"10 million war reparations plus 4 counties on the central coast" The fat man stretched out 4 fingers disappreliantly, and the fat man's words made Parschena's beautiful face a little dim

"This, isn't this a bit too much" Parschena said with an embarrassed face, "Although I don't know how much money the Salander royal family can make, but this year's war has almost exhausted the entire treasury, which is a matter known to the whole country, otherwise there is no need to take risks, risking the risk of war with Vekia, and raiding the northern territories in order to expand the dry finances, and now asking them to come up with 10 million war reparations, it is really impossible"

"Old rule, for your sake, I'll give a discount" The fat man turned four fingers into one finger with a faint expression, "If Kyoto can appoint you as the head of the Vic Territory Sky Temple, I can reduce the war reparations to 8 million gold coins"

"You ......"

Parschena's eyes were slightly red, her delicate chin was shy, and her face was flushed at once, although she knew that this condition was a bit excessive, but at the same time, she also showed her value in the heart of the Vechia Falcon, what Vic was in charge of the sacrifice and the like, it was really a shame to die The falcon's claws never fail, this is a proverb that the whole continent knows

The terms of the peace were soon transmitted back to the negotiating team through a hidden channel, and with a slight sense of obscurity and helplessness, the convoy of Formo, the second prince of Salander, escorted the goods slowly through a sloping mountain road.

Quietly lifting the curtain of the carriage, Formo was particularly attentive to the qiē outside the window, this was the first time he had personal contact with the area controlled by the Vekia army. There were hundreds of chests full of gold coins on the convoy, which made the nerves of the entire convoy tense to the extreme, and a Mamunuk knight dressed as a shop guy ran up to him and whispered to him if he could cross the hill path ahead, which looked a little potholed and densely bushed,

After carefully watching for a while, Formo gave the order to move on, and the road seemed to be basically restored to normal, although the road was still a little potholed, compared to the large ruins outside the city of Guò Saletek in the morning, it was already a place full of life, looking down from the mountain path, on the mountains or in the fields, the farmers were working hard,

This would have been a very ordinary scene, but for the outskirts of Kyoto, which had been abandoned for more than half a year, such a scene was so precious and rare, compared to the large area of idle Northern Army outside the city of Salletke, it seemed much more cute, at least there would be no greedy sentry soldiers, and there would be no cavalry to scare pedestrians, as the regular army of Vikia retreated, the military discipline of the Northern Army became more and more loose, and half of the soldiers were temporarily assembled refugees, and without any pressure, they could quickly collapse from the inside

In many areas under Kyoto's jurisdiction, the barrenness of the fields became more and more severe, and a large number of able-bodied laborers were forced to join the army, which was constantly consumed on the battlefield, and the massive loss of population in the central part of the country exacerbated this situation. Of course, the most important thing is that the most densely populated François region in the center and the coastal area in the north-central part of the country have been occupied by the Vicchians.

Because the road to the main road had already been controlled by the northern military of Salander, the convoy of Formo escorting the compensation could only make a detour to the François area to the transit point, and the Vicchian troops along the way had been notified and soon let Formo's convoy go. ,

Taking advantage of the opportunity to slowly drive past the sentry post, Formo carefully lifted the curtain of the carriage, and looked from the inside to the outside in a neat line of soldiers, dressed in light black armor and holding sharp infantry spears in their hands.

Among these spears, Formos found a very interesting thing, in each team of Wiki soldiers, there were always a few particularly long and strange spears, which stood out in the spears of almost the same height, about a third longer than ordinary spears, and the sharp spear head forked a sharp long blade from the left side,

This strange spear aroused Formo's curiosity, although he did not come into contact with the army, he was naturally interested in the affairs of the army, and there was a stage for drills in his mansion.

The novel weapon of the Vecchia horizontal spear has not been shown much in the countries of the mainland, so Formos has not figured out what this particularly long strange spear is for a long time, with a bit of pity, the marching carriage quickly passed through the sentry post in front, and at this time, two teams of 30 crossbowmen came from the opposite side, and the metal crossbow behind him made Formo's eyes in the carriage shine

"Vekia Infantry Crossbow"

Formos looked at the familiar appearance and smacked his fat lips submergedly, the entire continent knew that Vekia was able to rise in just a few years, and the powerful Vekia infantry crossbow was indispensable. Why is the Wiki Army so powerful?

If you look at the soldier's Suzhì, he believes that whether it is the Ruierdian Kingdom that was defeated by Vecchia, or the Kugit Iron Cavalry that crisscrosses the grassland, there must be many warriors in it, who are better than the infantry of Vecchia, the Kugit people are conservative in riding horses at the age of 3 and archery at the age of 4, and everyone, whether male or female, is a natural warrior

It's a pity. When they faced the military formation of the Wiki Army's mighty continent, they all became defeated by the Wiki Army without exception, in addition to the Wiki Falcon's heart-wrenching strategic layout ability, the Wiki Infantry Crossbow was also an important weapon for the Falcon to tear apart the opponent.

In Formo's storage room, there are three Vekia infantry crossbows that were purchased at a high price, but unfortunately they are all good-looking things that cannot be used, which constantly makes Formos feel very pity, there are very few Vekia infantry crossbows that can be really used in actual combat, and most of them are old remnants, and it is the first time that Prince Formo can come into contact with this weapon so closely

At noon, Formo's convoy arrived at the transit point, the city of Francotte, which was the control area of the Vicchian army, and after completing a series of handover procedures, the convoy slowly drove into the city's harbor area under the escort of a group of Vivian cavalry, from which the city of Francote headed north

They will take a ship to Beickhato City, for the compensation this time, the royal family of Salander even took out the family funds, in order to make up the money, all the wealthy families in Kyoto were invited by the royal family, and were promised a series of honorary titles, which are the "hard-earned money" of the nobles of Salander Kyoto 8 million, almost emptying the entire Salander Kyoto

The sound of waves in the downtown area came from outside the carriage from time to time, and Formo saw that with the gradual return of the inhabitants of the city of Francotte, a steady stream of merchant ships from the northern region continued to dock, the city of Francoult was more prosperous than in the past, and the rule of the Vicchian army here seemed to be very loose, and there were almost no strict sentries on the streets, and even if there were, there were scattered soldiers, which looked more like a kind of decoration

There was a constant stream of people all around. All the berths at the piers of François City were filled with merchant ships, large and small, most of which were to be unloaded, but some were loaded, and the porters came and went like ants, carrying large bags of supplies on their shoulders. The main items unloaded from the merchant ships were munitions and various daily consumer goods, while the main ones that were brought on the merchant ships were the ore and timber that passed through the city of Françouter.

The sun shines well at noon, casting a long shadow of the tall mast of the sailboat onto the quays of the city of Francotte. In the afternoon, the sun shines well, casting a long shadow of the tall mast of the sailboat onto the quays of the city of Francotte.

A large, ornate merchant ship awaits quietly in the open sea. The huge hull is rugged up and down with the waves, this ship is not much different from other merchant ships, but there is a very special flag hanging at the top of the mast, a small blue seagull with wings ready to fly, others know at a glance that this is a ship of the commercial alliance,

The port administration generally gives priority to such vessels, but the ship keeps stopping in the sea outside the port until it sees a signal coming from the port.

The gangplank was set up on the trestle, and several black-clothed men came down first, and they controlled the position near the trestle with murderous energy, and dispersed the porters. These big men are basically burly and stout men, all of them are about thirty years old, with fierce expressions, and their bronzed skin can be seen at a glance as sailors who live on the water all year round, they are wearing short black chain mail, revealing their strong arms, and the sea breeze blows from time to time, and occasionally shows the curved long sword they have inserted in their waists.

Under their protection, a tall woman disembarked from the merchant ship. Coldly stepped on the wooden plank of the trestle, and the high heels were nailed to the plank, making a very loud sound. The girl wore a red headscarf, dressed in black, and a pure black skirt was neat and straight on her, showing her slender figure, as well as her always cold and noble and noble.

The girl in the black dress looked left and right on the dock, and immediately walked in the direction of Formo, who looked at the girl in the black dress who was getting closer and closer with some heartbeats.

"Your Highness Formo?" Sokutus Dylan first confirmed a ** copy with the other party, and then ordered someone to unload the heavy hundreds of large boxes on the carriage, and after the count was completed, it was already afternoon,

After receiving the report from his subordinates, Sokutus Delan shook hands with Formo

"Because this is a private transaction, the Grand Duke does not want to be publicized, and I will escort the goods to the destination along the sea route, and as for His Highness, please go by land."

"Why is that?" asked Formo, a little confused, "don't we even have the qualifications to ride the ship?"

"This is what the Grand Duke meant, if His Royal Highness follows the fleet, it will only arouse the suspicion of the Northern Army of Salander, and it will cause unnecessary trouble at that time" Sokutus Delan responded with an indifferent face, "For the hatred of the Northern Army, I believe His Royal Highness Formo should understand, there is a considerable journey from the port to the negotiation place, if something happens on the way, we are not responsible"

Mo's face turned pale, and he couldn't help but tremble in fright when he thought of the gritted teeth of those northern troops

The merchant ship set sail in a shaking, and Sokutus Stellan vanished from the ship

The second prince of Salander, Formo, looked at the back of Sokutus Delan with a trance, although he grew up in the flowery Kyoto of Saland, as the prince of Saland, he didn't know how many ladies and ladies he had seen since he was a child.

But I also have to admit that compared with the mysterious and arrogant girl in the black dress in front of her, the romantic and amorous Salander woman seems to lack something

Or that cold, that proud.
