Kellogg had to make a decision to negotiate, and the 10,000-strong army could not afford to consume it on the border, and it was impossible to confront the Misty Kingdom in the same place all the time. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Duchy of Seneh sent an envoy to the city of Anding, and Cumberland opened the gates and received the envoy in a friendly manner. The Son of God agreed to meet and talk with Kellogg in the manor of Viscount Listok's fiefdom, and agreed that each side could only carry ten guards.

Cumberland took George with him, and although neither Moses nor Valentine agreed with him taking such a risk, Cumberland insisted on giving it a try in order to settle the disputes and chaos on the border once and for all.

"Lord Bishop, Licock is Alik's man, and his manor is also in Seneh, and Kellogg said that he only brought ten guards, wouldn't he be secretly ambushed?" Valentine reminded anxiously, "In case you are controlled by them, the entire city of Anding will be passive, and we will shrink for your safety, and the enemy will take advantage of it." ”

"Don't think so, Valentine. "Is my safety alone more important than the safety of the entire border population, and if I am really captured, then you will defend your homeland to the death and not give the enemy any chance." If the two sides reach some kind of agreement in exchange for border stability, how can I not fight for it?"

Moses sighed and said, "Since you can't persuade him, let him go, the son of God is a person who is protected by the gods, and maybe he can really be safe and sound." ”

George drove the carriage and galloped on the dirt road in the countryside, from the time they left the border of the Yamelo Empire, there were scouts secretly observing the whole process, reporting the situation to Kellogg, when he heard that Cumberland really came alone, Kellogg couldn't help but admire, although he set up an ambush for many people in the Leafcock Manor, but he didn't do it at first, Kellogg also wanted to see what this son of God wanted to do and what negotiation conditions he could offer.

After Cumberland met with several nobles, he got to the point after a few greetings, and the son of God looked calm, did not panic at all, and said calmly: "Generals and lords, my coachman is an assassin, he has a strong anti-reconnaissance ability, and he told me all the way where you ambushed the soldiers. Although General Kellogg did not keep the agreement, I came anyway because I sincerely hoped that the border between the two countries would be calmed down, friendly and peaceful, and non-aggression. ”

"It's a joke to keep the promise!" said Count Tauhe indignantly, "Since the Bishop wants the border to be stable, and has made an agreement with me beforehand, why did he suddenly attack my fiefdom, kill many people, and rob my property, if it were not for General Kellogg's coming, I am afraid that you would never let me back." The first to create the contradiction is you, how can this matter be settled in a few words, this revenge must be avenged. ”

Cumberland looked at Tao He and replied indifferently: "What is the matter, Lord Earl knows very well in his heart, since you do not have the life or death of others in your eyes, you should pay some price." ”

"You ......" Tao He's eyes were about to split, and he pulled out the long sword at his waist, looking like he was going to kill.

Kellogg glared at Tao He and said, "Lord Earl, this is a negotiating table, not an arena, and when the two sides finish talking, there is no room for maneuver, and it is not too late to meet each other." ”

Tao He didn't dare to offend Kellogg, and shouted: "Please also ask the general to avenge me." ”

"The Earl thinks that the loss of his family is hateful, but have you ever thought about the taste of someone else's loss of a loved one? You indulged the army to plunder on the border, and the townspeople of several towns in the city of Stable City, there is no one who does not hate you, and when you are caught, the people hope that I can kill you, and I have said that as long as there is a trace of improvement, the church can forgive him, and the other nobles and mercenaries have listened to my advice, but you are the only one who still insists on going your own way, and to tell the truth, it is your attitude that has led to the disaster. "I'm locking you up in the hope of putting an end to this endless hatred, just as I am here today, for the same purpose." Killing and killing, everyone faces the threat of death. ”

Kellogg said: "Your Excellency's words, it sounds reasonable, you want peace on the border, and I don't want to make things too big, since everyone has the same wishes, why don't I make a condition, as long as the Bishop is willing to compensate the Earl's losses, I think the two countries will maintain peace in the future and not interfere with each other." ”

"Okay, I'm very willing, I'm willing to accept any conditions as long as it can be exchanged for peace. "Cumberland Drive.

Kellogg glanced at Tao He with his eyes, meaning that things are already like this, just ask for money, what else can you do?

"Why don't you get justice, General?" Tao He didn't give up, and he didn't know that the army of the Mist Kingdom was waiting around.

"Justice? In our opinion, justice is only when you go to the guillotine. "It is out of good faith that we are willing to accept the terms of the negotiations." ”

Kellogg's face darkened, and he thought to himself, Tao He, you () really don't know what to do, if the war starts, what good will it do you? Even if you win, how much supply will your fief provide to the army of 10,000, and you will be happy when you are destitute. He immediately made a decision: "Your Excellency, the Bishop is sincerely here for peace, and we in the Duchy of Seneh cannot say that we have to destroy the peace, we still have the same faith, for God's sake, you can compensate your own country with a hundred diamonds, and this matter is over." ”

"A hundred diamonds. Cumberland's brows furrowed slightly, but he didn't mind, and said, "Wealth is just flowing in the world, not increasing or decreasing, as long as everyone puts aside their hatred and lives in stability, I agree with a hundred crystal diamonds, but the city of Anding has been invaded, and the money may not be so much at once, and it will take some time to raise." ”

"No, it must be paid immediately. Tao He roared.

Kellogg couldn't wait to give the Count a slap, he had completely looked down on this brainless guy, on the contrary, he respected Cumberland more, a hundred diamonds but his lion opened his mouth, he thought that Cumberland must not agree, to bargain, but they didn't say a word, and directly agreed.

"The fault of the matter is not entirely mine, but we are still willing to pay the price for peace, which is sincerity. Cumberland said, "Sincerity comes first, but it does not mean that we do not know that we have suffered losses, and we will not repeatedly dedicate sincerity to those who do not know how to cherish it." My lords, I hope that you will keep your promise, and if there is any more disturbance on the border, the bishop will find out the cause and punish him severely. ”

"Rest assured, the country will also do a good job of supervision. "So, Bishop, we sign a peace agreement here, that within a month, you will send a hundred diamonds to the Sacred Heart City, and I will immediately withdraw my troops, and from then on the two countries will jointly supervise the border, restrain the mercenaries, and ensure safety." ”

"Thank you for the general's leniency. Cumberland bowed.
