"I just cut off the head of a Kafala family today. Riding in the tent, he looked at Moraes in front of him and said, "I think I'll cut down another one soon." ”

The people in the tent all looked at Moraes with disdain in their eyes. Morath had long been accustomed to this treatment, and he was not treated well with Kakaman himself.

"Tell me why you're here. Rodok looked at Moras as if he was not afraid of boiling water and soup, and asked.

"I'm here to negotiate peace on behalf of the Kakaman clan. Morath stood there and said honestly, he didn't want to lose his life here.

"You planned to assassinate the king of Northridge, raised troops to rebel against Northridge, killed the king's brother Grevor, and invaded the city of Eternal Night, the kingdom of Northridge. Rhodok tapped his fingers on the table, frowning as he spoke, which sounded like a wretch.

"You actually say you want to make peace now?" Rodok hammered the table and looked at Morath with an imposing look, hoping to shock him, he knew what Morath's dead-skinned face was about, and he was just a dispensable pawn in the man named Kress like Mott.

"Grave isn't dead. Moraes said. "He's imprisoned in the City of Eternal Night, and we see each other every day, and I'm in charge of guarding him. ”

Rhodok raised an eyebrow and looked at the others in the tent, everyone was looking at each other, everyone thought Grebe was dead, and finally everyone looked at Archie.

"I didn't say he was dead. Archie frowned a little inexplicably, though he did think Grave would die.

"We captured him in Wolfsburg. Moraes explained: "The injury on his arm has gotten much better. ”

Rodok didn't speak, and exchanged glances with Rolf and Domt, and everyone was a little hesitant.

"You don't have to be angry with me, my treatment is not much better than Grave's, I will eat whatever he eats. Moras rolled his eyes a little aggrieved and said.

"Tell me about the terms of your peace talks. Rhodok asked, rubbing his fingers with his hands on the table.

"We quit the city of eternal night, release Grevor, and from now on the two sides will not invade each other, the first line of the Devil's Mountain no longer belongs to the Northridge, and we have lost more than two thousand men in this battle combined, and while there is no need to fight now, Kress thinks we should talk about it now. Morath said.

Rodok thought for a moment and said, "Put Greif back first, and we will have room to negotiate with the rest." ”

"The Kakamans are more than that. Moras looked at Rhodok: "There are nearly 200,000 people on the front line of the Devil's Mountain, I'm not talking about us, it's these Kakamans who have just come out of the Devil's Mountain." ”

"There is no good in fighting. Moraston continued: "We're going to lose both sides if we go on like this, and we have more important things to talk about. ”

"What's the matter?" asked Rhodok.

"I don't know, Kress didn't tell me. Moraes addressed Kress with no respect, but there was a hint of fear in his twinkling eyes.

Boris stood up, he came with the army, and then returned to Fort Shenlin to manage the logistics and supplies, after all, the army had just started, and he needed to follow the army to see how to grasp the rationing of supplies and other things.

Walking up to Rodok and sticking his head over, Rodok put his ears together, he knew that Boris had something to say to him privately.

"The king's health is too poor, Grave is the only suitable heir, and we need him. Boris said in Rhodok's ear.

Rhodok frowned, he had actually thought of this, which was why he was so hesitant. He looked at Rolf again, and said he wanted to hear his opinion.

"Our main goal this time is to retake the city of Eternal Night. "Winter is coming, and it's not good for everybody to fight." ”

"Tell Kress that we can agree to his terms. Rhodok looked at Moraes and replied, "But the traitors of the Northridge are to continue to be conquered, and the area of the Golden and Silver Castle and the Iron Helmet must be recovered, and I don't want to see any Kakamans on the battlefield." ”

"Of course. Moraes nodded, Kress had told him about this before.

Rodok sighed and looked around, and everyone seemed to have no objections.

"So when are you going to release Grace. Rhodok asked.

"We'll be out of Eternal Night in three days, and then we'll release Grevor. Moraes said.

"Don't try to play tricks. Domt said, "Our cavalry can easily catch up with you on the plains. ”

Kress said that. Moraes looked at Domt and said, then looked around again and continued, "If you want to tear up the agreement and continue to hunt us down after Grave returns, you can just let the horses come, that's what he said. ”

When he said this, Moras actually had very complicated emotions in his heart, and there was a trace of pride in his fear, and even he didn't know what kind of mentality he was in now.

"There are no treacherous people in Northridge, so rest assured that the one named Kress may be. Rhodok glanced at Moraes and waved his hand to signal that he could go.

After Moras walked out of the tent, there was silence in the tent, everyone seemed to be thinking about something, Rolf was right, this battle was indeed very inappropriate at the right time, everyone knew how terrible the winter in Northridge was, but everyone came with the preparation for war, and now it seemed that there was a breath in the stomach.

"Are we really just making peace with him, why are so many of us here?" James, the lord of Linghai City, couldn't help but ask.

"There aren't so many people, do you think they'll make peace with us?" said Roddock, "and we still have a war to fight, the Kakamans are not evil, and traitors are the most disgusting beings." As he spoke, Rhodok remembered the appearance of Martha dead in his arms, and the appearance of Alan when he was dragged out from under the bed, and clenched his fists tightly.

James sighed and lowered his head, in fact, the answer in his own heart was similar to what Rodok said, and the same was true for most of the people here, but they were very angry in their hearts.

Pikes, who was far away in Giant Eagle City, stood on the towering walls of Giant Eagle City, and the Giant Eagle City on Eagle Peak was the highest castle in the entire Naranst, and the Deep Forest Fort and the other two castles in the distance could be seen faintly in the distance.

The other two castles, one Blackcastle and the other Ironthorn, are the only major battles in Northridge in recent times, not counting the Kakaman invasion, of course.

Archduke Paul and the Queen of the Eagle were both familiar and unfamiliar to him, firstly, they were too famous, and secondly, at the age of Pikes, when the Queen of the Eagle was in the limelight, he was still a pawn beside Allen, and Allen was not yet a king, and Grand Duke Paul was still a teenager at that time.

At that time he admired and admired these two men, but now his childhood idol is the object of his own defense, and the struggle for power is actually not liked by Pikes, but he knows how many guns and arrows the king suffers every day, and this kind of life has already trained him to carry a heart all the time, even if the king is still so badly injured.

Pikes's spirit was extremely nervous in the past two days, he was very afraid that the Eagle Queen would do something unfavorable to the king, but in the Giant Eagle City, he only took dozens of the king's personal guards, and the city was full of Giant Eagle City's army, and even the people didn't seem to have much affection for the king. They were more curious than respectful, and Pikes could tell.

The Eagle Queen of Giant Eagle City can cover the sky with one hand, which makes Pikes very uncomfortable, this feeling of powerlessness he has never had, it is impossible for an enemy to hurt the king in such a strict guard, but Pikes is always very uneasy, when the inside story of that thing everyone can guess a rough idea, but no one went back to say, everyone hoped that this matter would disappear in time, but the Eagle Queen's such a tough body made everyone unexpected, and the Eagle Queen faded out of people's sight over the years, and everyone thought she was already a dying old woman。

But she's still there, and her body is still so tough. Pikes frowned and turned to walk back down the corridor, the guards still standing dutifully at their posts, which made Pikes feel slightly relieved.

Pushing open the door of the king's chamber, the king seemed to be asleep on the bed, and Pikes closed the door casually and walked towards the king's bed, not noticing the figure with a short sword behind the door.

It was a middle-aged woman, with thick arms like a man, wearing a gray white-trimmed nun's dress, and her face was very serious, which was very unpleasant.

She wears soft-soled shoes and walks with little sound. Pikes only felt a pain in the back of his neck, and then after something seemed to be stuck in his throat, he felt that his whole neck was cold and hot, his whole body trembled, he couldn't speak or make a sound, and his eyes could only slightly see that there seemed to be a bloody sword tip under his chin.

The nun's sword flickered, and Pikes' throat made a strange and small sound, and the nun drew her sword back, stretched out a hand and easily helped Pikes's body to the ground, and then left through a secret door in the cabinet in the room.

On the other side of the door, the Eagle Queen was sitting on the table knitting her clothes, looked at the nun and asked, "Is he awake?"

The nun nodded.

Alan Amber, King of Northridge, lay on his bed, his eyes wide and wide, staring at the ceiling, his hands in front of his bloody throat, as if he had once held the murder weapon that had stabbed him in the throat. "My great-grandfather died fighting for Northridge, my grandfather died fighting for Northridge, my father died fighting for Northridge, my brother died fighting for Northridge, my mother and sisters were slaughtered, my husband died in an unknown manner, and I will not let any of my relatives die for the Amber family. ”
