Chapter 35: Friendliness
Five days later, on the ruins of the lord's palace of Lord Cathras.
Lord Kathras is thinking about how he can gather men to rebuild his lordship.
His territory, north of Hoblens, where birds don't poop, is scarce in both labor and materials.
The previous lord's mansion was also built through the efforts of several generations, but unfortunately it was messed up by the dragon and the big demon, and it was directly finished.
Lord Kathras didn't dare to trouble the "caravan", let alone him, the knight team that had gone to their source before, didn't it also flee in disgrace.
Guarding his dilapidated house, Lord Kathras is also sad, and the life of the landlord's family is not easy.
"Your Lord! There is a team on the main road, and the flag should be the 'Burning Eye' Knights! An attendant came running from a distance and said breathlessly.
"The Knights of the Burning Eye?" Lord Kathras stood up suddenly, "Could it be that the king knew about the men of the 'Divine Sleeping House' and launched an expedition against them, right?" ”
He sweated: "That's a dragon!" No matter how many people go up, they will die, whether it is the 'Burning Eye' Knights or the Cardinal, it is impossible for it to be its opponent. ”
Lord Kathras hastened to bring his squire his formal attire, and after dressing up a little, he hurried to the main road with his squire.
The front team of the envoy group had already arrived outside the original lord's mansion of Lord Cathras, and when they saw Lord Casselas who came to greet him, LeBron, the head of the "Burning Eye" Knights, dismounted and saluted him:
"Lord Casselas, it's been a long time, don't come unharmed, right?"
Lord Kathras stepped forward and grabbed his hand and asked, "Commander LeBron, why did His Majesty send you here?" Isn't there really going to be a war? ”
LeBron asked with some confusion: "War?" Why the war? Is it the barbarian tribes from the north who have come to invade? ”
Lord Kathras asked, somewhat inexplicably, "Not a war?" Then how did you come here with the Burning Eyes Knights, fully armed? ”
LeBron explained: "Our mission this time is not to fight, but to protect the security of the legations. ”
He turned back and pointed to the large force of the Aprilian envoys who were already approaching: "This is the envoy group arranged by His Majesty the King himself, and the destination is the 'Divine Sleeping House' in your territory. ”
Hearing that they were envoys, Lord Kathras's heart relaxed: "Fortunately, Your Majesty's judgment is correct, but you must not make enemies with the gang of the 'Divine Sleeper', they are really terrible." ”
LeBron asked with some surprise, "Lord Casselas, you seem to be very familiar with those outlanders, huh?" Can you tell us more about them? ”
Lord Kathras felt that he was a little out of his mouth, he quickly coughed twice and said, "It's nothing, let's talk later when we have time, who is the chief officer of this envoy group?" ”
LeBron replied, "It's the thirteenth Cardinal, Lady April, she's already here, my lord, please come with me to meet her." ”
Because of the destruction of the Lord's Palace, Lord Kathras could only temporarily entertain the members of the legation in the warehouse.
Inevitably, Apriler also asked about the reason for the destruction of the Lord's Palace.
Lord Cathras was not confident that he could fool a cardinal, so he had to privately report the situation in the Lord's Mansion to April.
Of course, he wouldn't admit that the archdemon Elena was his staff, only that she was a maid who had infiltrated the lord's mansion.
"Don't you know, that Elena, her real body is actually a big demon more than ten meters tall, she has six hands and four legs!!"
"And the people on the side of the 'Divine Sleeping House' are not weaker than her at all, and one of them has even turned into a hundred-meter-long dragon, fighting this big demon in the dark."
"My lord's mansion was reduced to ruins in their battle," Lord Cathras sighed, "What a sin." ”
To Lord Casselas' surprise, however, when he heard his description of the battle, April expressed neither skepticism nor shock.
It stands to reason that no one would have believed what he said if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, and even Lord Kathras himself wondered if he was hallucinating.
Aprile said with a normal expression: "Lord Cathras, although the situation you have encountered is indeed beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. ”
"However, according to the requirements of the Holy See, once traces of demons and demonic contamination are found, they must be reported as soon as possible."
"If you conceal it and don't report it, even you, you will be punished accordingly!"
Lord Kathras smiled bitterly: "I'm a little lord who guards the northernmost part of Hobruns, and now even the lord's mansion has been completely destroyed, and I'm still worried about what punishment, hehe......"
"But these are extraordinary times," April continued, "and considering that your territory borders the strangers of the 'Sleeping House' and knows each other well......"
"Therefore, this delegation would like to invite you to go to the 'Divine Sleeping House' to make contact with those strangers and make a peace treaty with them, what do you think?"
Lord Cathras sighed, "Alright, I'm the last of my heat for Hobruns. ”
The Lord's Mansion continues north, and only the path is passable.
After driving on the country road for more than an hour, the envoy group finally arrived at the destination of this time, Lingqi Village.
And the contact team of "Journey to the Underworld" is already waiting for their arrival here.
Looking at the ten multi-legged mechanical chariots lined up, everyone in the envoy group was extremely shocked.
The knights who were captured and returned also mentioned this multi-legged mechanical chariot, but when the real thing appeared in front of everyone, they realized how incredible and magnificent such a beautiful machine was.
Aprile stepped out of the carriage and walked toward the row of multi-legged chariots, holding the diplomatic envoy written by King Hobruns in both hands.
The leader of the greeting team on the opposite side was none other than Fran, who also turned over and jumped out of the chariot, and came to the center of the two arrays with April.
"Fran, it's a pleasure to see you again." April said with a slight bend.
Fran nodded at her as well, "Hello, Miss April." ”
"I have come on behalf of His Majesty King Hobruns, and I wish to conclude a treaty of friendship with you and your forces for peaceful coexistence, and I may ask you and your forces what do you think about this?" Aprile didn't talk much nonsense either, and said bluntly.
Fran nodded: "I said a long time ago, there is no contradiction between us, and it is completely possible to maintain the current state of good neighborliness." ”
