Chapter 214: The Minotaur Arrives
Urban looked at the list in front of him, to be precise, it was an agreement, and the more he looked at it, the more ugly his face became, and there was a great possibility of breaking out at any time.
Su Lin seemed very relaxed, this agreement had been prepared before, and he would definitely agree.
After looking at me, Urban put the agreement on the table and said in a deep voice: "If you want us to pay the war reparations of 430 million gold coins, it is simply impossible. ”
"Nothing is impossible, how much damage you have caused to Curtis, Muga, and Logo, how many families have been destroyed, how many people have died, you must be punished. Su Lin retorted with righteous words.
"We don't have that much money at all, you are lions opening their mouths. Fine beads of sweat also appeared on Urban's face, he was also in his sixties, and his body was also weak at this time.
Listening to this, Surin continued to explain: "You don't have to pay in a lump sum, you can pay in installments, although you have paid a huge amount of property, but your church is continuing, these more than 10,000 magicians and hundreds of thousands of soldiers can return home safely, and the rule of Alva is still strong. ”
As soon as these words came out, Urban also fell into deep thought, between the church and money, he must have a choice, although he is more inclined to agree to this condition in his heart, but more than 400 million gold coins is too much, if it is given, it will almost make it difficult for the church to do something in the future.
And Su Lin was not in a hurry at this time, just sat quietly, waiting for his reply.
Finally, Urban raised his head and replied with a pale face: "Give me a few days to think about it, and I'll give you an answer." ”
"Okay, I'll give you three days, and after three days, I hope I'll hear a satisfactory answer. ”
With that, Surin turned and walked out, leaving Urban alone in a daze.
After going back, Lance directly greeted him and asked, "How is it, did he agree?"
Su Lin smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, he has to agree, and he has no choice." ”
Hearing this, Lance also laughed, this war is finally coming to an end.
The Surin patted him on the shoulder again and said, "Now that the news can be disseminated, I believe that Garris's army should retreat from the territory of Curtis." ”
"I'll arrange it, but I'm not going to let them go. ”
Early the next morning, Urban heard a commotion outside, sounding like the magicians were making trouble.
"I want to see Master Urban, let me in. ”
"Your Excellency is sleeping right now, so I won't see you. ”
"Hmph, it's not inconvenient, I'm afraid it's no longer here!"
"Like, last night we got word that he had left here and abandoned them. ”
While everyone was talking, Urban came out of it, and they immediately shut their mouths.
Urban glanced at everyone and said, "Don't worry, I won't leave you. ”
As soon as the voice fell, someone chased after me: "My lord, now we are really about to hold on, more than 100,000 soldiers have surrendered to the opposite side in the past few days, what should we do?"
Urban stretched out his hand to silence the group, took out the agreement, and told them what it was about.
When everyone heard that they were going to pay more than 400 million war reparations, they were all dumbfounded, for them, this is an astronomical amount, if they really agreed, they don't know when they will pay it back.
Seeing that everyone was bowing their heads and no one answered, Urban also took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "In order for everyone to go back safely, I have decided to agree to this condition." ”
"My lord, we will definitely fight to the death in the future. ”
"Whoa"
Urban looked at the excitement on everyone's faces, and the sadness in his heart was alleviated a lot, although he was under huge financial pressure since then, but at least the status of the church was maintained, which was the best result!
At the same time, the news that the two sides were going to sign an armistice agreement was also released, which has caused a heated discussion, mainly because the war reparations of more than 400 million gold coins are the key to the heated discussion, after all, Alva's annual tax revenue is only a few million gold coins.
As soon as the news broke, Garris's army withdrew from Curtiz territory without hesitation, knowing that if Lance returned with his army, their situation would be even more difficult.
After Blake turned Victor City upside down, he also gained a lot of money, and the wealth he looted was already fifty or sixty million gold coins, which filled several rooms.
Now he has planned that he will become the richest man in the country when he returns, and when the time comes, he will expand the army, and he will be the most powerful lord.
Just as Blake was fantasizing about all this, his men rushed in and said with a solemn face: "My lord, I just received the news that the Pope has surrendered with his army. ”
"What, how can this be?" Blake was shocked when he heard this.
"I heard that there are more than 400 million gold coins in war reparations, and if we bring the money back, I'm afraid it will not be guaranteed. ”
Blake sat in his chair and frowned, his mind racing, if he went back with this huge fortune at that time, he would definitely be taken by the church.
Thinking of this, he immediately stood up, ordered the gold to be transported to the ship quickly, and left here at once, and then found a place where no one was around.
Amanda came to the mountain at this time, and saw that the soldiers in the city below had begun to assemble, carrying the box and walking towards the sea, as if to leave here.
"Queen, they are leaving, and they are taking the money with them, they are complete thieves. Eve watched from the sidelines, very angry.
"We don't have the strength to stop them now, so we can only let them leave. ”
At this moment, Eve suddenly cried out, and then pointed to the distance and said, "Queen, look, someone is coming." ”
Hearing this, Amanda looked in the direction she was pointing, only to see an army coming in the distance, with a lot of people, but because it was too far away, it was impossible to see who it was.
Then she asked people to bring the binoculars, and when they looked at it, the army was actually a Minotaur army, numbering about 30,000 people, and behind it were densely packed with citizens with various weapons.
Seeing this, she immediately turned on her horse and greeted her, wanting to see who it was.
At this time, Starr was coming over with the minotaur warriors of their tribe, and after returning to the tribe for half a year, he returned with people.
As soon as he returned, he learned that someone had invaded, so he prepared to rush over and drive them away, and the others followed suit.
Amanda was also happy when she learned that it was an ally, and now Loggo was finally saved.
Blake was directing his subordinates to carry money to the ship at this time, when he suddenly saw many soldiers running back in a hurry, and he hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"
"Great, my lord, the Minotaur is coming. ”
"Nonsense, how can there be minotaurs here. ”
But as soon as he finished speaking, he saw a group of strong and fierce minotaurs rushing towards him, with a huge axe in his hand, and he split one of them in half.
Seeing this scene, Blake also hurriedly shouted: "Quick, stop them for me." ”
But no one listened to what he said, and in the face of the minotaur like a humanoid beast, they were all so frightened that their legs were weak, how could they dare to come forward to resist.
At this time, a large number of minotaurs and citizens also rushed forward, and for a while, those soldiers were also difficult to resist and collapsed.
Blake also began to flee to the sea with the support of his cronies, and because the large army was assembled on the beach to prepare for boarding, there were only a few thousand soldiers around him.
When it was not easy to get to the beach, Blake saw a dense group of soldiers preparing to board, and he hurriedly shouted: "Give me a quick way, get out of the way." ”
But at this time, those soldiers also found the minotaur who caught up behind, and everyone couldn't help but panic, and they were still patting the team to get on the boat, but in an instant, they became chaotic and began to squeeze towards the boat, and many people also fell into the water.
Blake couldn't get on the boat at all now, because there were so many people in front of him that he couldn't squeeze in, and no one let him.
Listening to the footsteps getting closer and closer behind, he also remembered that a cold sweat broke out, and after seeing that there was no hope of boarding the ship, he quickly turned around, drew his long sword and rushed forward with his men.
Looking at those strong minotaurs and a giant axe with a glittering handle, Blair's legs were also trembling, and he fell directly to the ground when he was halfway through.
Before the soldiers could rush forward, they were cut in two by the giant axe wielded by the minotaur, and blood immediately erupted.
When Blake raised his head from the ground, he saw a large group of minotaurs standing in front of him, and he hurriedly said, "I"
But before he could speak, his head flew up in a flash of cold light.
Then a war broke out between the two sides, but the situation was one-sided, and after losing their command, their final result was only surrender.
Looking at the remaining 20,000 or so surrendered soldiers, Amanda ordered them to be locked up first, and then mobilized people to rebuild their homes.
And the 20,000 captives were eventually used as coolies, responsible for repairing the houses.
The biggest problem Amanda is facing now is this huge amount of wealth, and many people have come to ask when the money will be returned to them.
However, all this money has been mixed together, and it is impossible to distinguish who belongs to whom, and if it is not handled well, it will inevitably cause another disaster.
For this matter, she also gathered everyone to think of a way to come out, but in the end they were helpless, and the matter has been unresolved.
But now there are rumors in the city, saying that the royal family is ready to swallow the money, and public opinion is raging for a while.
