While everyone was watching the lord daydream, the sound of hurried horses' hooves came from a distance, and Schiff's rough voice also appeared.

"Report to your lordship, Prince Herode's ransom has been delivered and is entering our territory on the border."

Probably because of Vincent's disguised threat recently, the nobles are paying their money faster and faster, and the prince, as the leader of Herode's army, must consider his own situation after seeing the miserable situation of everyone.

Even if his status is extraordinary, the demons will not always raise him for idle meals.

If the ransom is not fast enough, will it be sold to the orcs by the demons at a price that cannot be refused?

The demons have always been known for their crazy entourage, and they don't know how many things they have done in the face of the world, and no one knows what will happen after a long time.

Even ordinary nobles are crying and shouting to raise money, is the prince willing to eat chaff vegetables in the demon prisoner of war camp for the winter?

What's more, every day of delay here will cost one point of power within Hiro Germany, defeat will damage the image, but the absence will allow others to encroach on power.

"Brother, the ransom is enough, are you going to release Lingus?" Seid asked with some concern, "This man has a pair of eagle eyes, not only is he ambitious, but he is also sure to hold grudges, and he will definitely take revenge after letting him go."

Although Syd is usually a fool and doesn't look very social, this time his opinion made everyone present show a look of agreement.

Why didn't the lord himself know that there would be trouble if the tiger returned to the mountain......

But since the amount of ransom has been agreed, it is better not to break the promise.

Even the demon king told his son not to provoke himself, friction is okay, and demonstrations are reasonable, but war is not planned.

If the situation is not brought under control this time, resulting in a full-scale war, and the Terran kingdoms, which are still at odds with each other, are united again, Vincent's small territory will bear the brunt of the alliance's troops.

I really didn't expect Lingus to be able to raise such a large ransom in a short period of time, and if he used this kind of execution to go back and try his courage and actively prepare for the war, Vincent would also feel a headache.

In addition, before leaving, Dressy discussed another confidential matter with Vincent.

Herod was currently anxious to redeem the defeated army on the southern front and throw it into the northern front, and the orcs begged Vincent not to let all the Herodians go at once, so as to reduce the upcoming military pressure on the northern front.

Vincent's answer to this kind of request, which is not a sure thing, is just to do his best.

In the big picture, the Orc counteroffensive is in full swing, and the Kingdom of Herod is suffering the heaviest losses since the Demon Land War.

Of course, it is not the work of politicians to rebel, if the Herodians are forced to rush out, regardless of the wild places on the northern front, they will come out to save people, and their own territory will be difficult to parry.

More importantly, this will greatly reduce one's reputation in the mainland countries, which is not conducive to the long-term development of the territory in the future.

It is a question of both the allies to see sincerity and the Herodians to have nothing to say......

At present, the last resort is to delay, but everyone has delivered things to the door, and it will not be easy for Vincent to play a drama like "never do this" again.

Prince Lingus is also a thoughtful, but resolute guy, although he seems to have nothing to do every day, but there is such a large pile of gold coins and supplies, and there is no movement to pay in installments before, but it is sent to the door in one go, which makes Vincent feel a little caught off guard.

Obviously, his goal was to pay the ransom in full to achieve an immediate release, which Vincent didn't want to see.

Whether as a commanding commander or a powerful Chosen Choice, Lingus was the best of the Herodians, and his capture was certainly caused by a light enemy, but the sudden appearance of a group of bone dragons was also something he did not expect.

If it weren't for the help of Grand Duke Xia De, this kid might have pushed the territorial army and drove Vincent back to Silver Dragon Castle.

Worry about yourself, orcs

Can you not be worried?

"It's better to delay a little longer." "It will give me more preparation, and it will give the farmers time to harvest the grain in the neighborhood, and I will not do what the enemy wants me to do," Vincent said, thinking about it......

"It's okay to delay time, in what name?" Schiff seemed to have something to say, and he asked with a wicked smile, "The Golden Eagle of Skava wants to know, is there a major celebration of the territory lately?" It's just the right time to eat, drink, dance, and have a good time, and in our tribe, we never take care of any political affairs during the celebration."

Vincent's eyes lit up!

That's right, celebration!

Find a half-celebration in the name of the Herodians, and dry the Herodians first.

Before he could speak, the others spoke almost simultaneously.

"Of course it's the master's birthday!"

"Of course it's my brother's birthday!"

"Of course it's my uncle's birthday!"

Ninia, Seid, and Prani shouted in unison, showing that they were all very concerned about the day.

For Seid, his brother's birthday is of course clear.

In fact, Vincent doesn't know how Ninia and Prani found out about their birthdays, but it undoubtedly proves their place in their hearts.

Even if the birth of the Chaos Demon Race is very different from other races, it does not have to be conceived through the Mother Body, but is born from the Mother Spring of the Chaos Abyss.

As long as the paternal and maternal lines are strong enough to activate the mother spring, they can create offspring with both attributes.

Strictly speaking, the princes and princesses have no biological father and mother, they are the condensation of the essence of chaos, which also makes them lack the emotional bond of the general race with the so-called parents, either cold and rational, or crazy and careless.

Due to her identity, Vincent's mother was not suitable for the Demon Domain, and she almost created two children with the Demon King Salintas in a way that withdrew her power, and then died suddenly.

For this sad and unfortunate thing, all kinds of demons don't care at all, and it is a mistake for this kind of woman who is incompatible with the demon realm to come here.

Even the Demon King is only using her identity to maintain contact with the forces of the continent, and try to use the Divine Chosen outside of Chaos to create new heirs.

The patriarchs and elders of the demon race, including the older children of the demon king, have no hope for the demon king's behavior, and the strength should be the superposition of chaos and deeper chaos, not the reluctance of light and chaos.

Sure enough, as everyone expected, the two princes with different origins were not ideal Chaos Demon Clans, and the older ones were weak and withdrawn, not talents who could be of great use.

Young smart and perverse.,For some reason, I always have a trace of disdain for demons.,It's common to tease other demons.。

Except for the Demon King Salintas himself, few serious demons value this pair of brothers who should not appear in the Demon Domain, let alone celebrate their birth, except for the closest slaves, few demons may remember those days.

This unveiled disregard did not begin to change until the Sixth Prince, Vincent, left the Demon Realm and defeated the tens of thousands of troops of the Kingdom of Hirod in the Primorsky Territory.

Therefore, when he mentioned his birthday today, Vincent felt like a world away, feeling embarrassed for the owner of his body, and even had rare sympathy.

Compared with the group of big demons who have been living together, although his newly recognized subordinates are not of the same race, they make him feel warmer.

Seeing the lord's trance, Ninia couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness, she rarely saw Vincent show such an expression, it was a sense of alienation that was incompatible with everyone's happiness, and it made people unable to relax.

The man who usually seems to be omnipotent suddenly becomes unusual, and becomes lonely and helpless, this contrast is actually very motivating to the motherhood of young girls.

Although the demon had done a lot of excessive things to her, at this moment, she wanted to take care of him.

"Master, master, what's wrong with you?" Ninia carefully reminded her, "Birthdays are important things, and if you have done so much for the people, the people will be willing to celebrate your birthday."

yes, anyway, for this reason

It must be used, even if it can only be delayed for a few days.

"I know." Vincent restrained his reluctant smile, thought for a moment, and said to Schiff, who had made the idea, "Inform all the gentlemen in charge of acceptance and storage that starting today, there will be a ten-day holiday."

At this moment, everyone showed a surprised expression - is this to make up for the birthday that I haven't had before?

In this era of aristocratic domains, celebrating the lord's birthday has always been an important part of the territory, but after Vincent arrived in the territory, he actually forgot to put this day in the celebration schedule.

However, as is customary, the celebration of the lord's birthday should also take place in the Silver Dragon Castle, where the lord will give the castle a holiday to the people in the castle to have fun in the city, and will also give food to the poor to make them feel the good value of the lord's life.

It's time for his birthday again, Vincent can't help but sigh, this is his first birthday in another world, compared to the past years spent alone, this year there are so many people around him who remember their birthdays.

Since everyone is so sincere, then the birthday should not only be done, but also be a little more atmospheric!

"Ten days off?" Ninia asked in surprise, "Normally, a lord's birthday is celebrated for three days at most, right?"

"How can you compare me to them, in the territory, I just do it on holidays, and I will let it go for a few days when I say it," Vincent glanced at her, "Is it too much for my people to celebrate me for ten days a year?"

"It's not too much, it's wonderful, just be happy!" Prani said with a smile, "Your Lord's birthday must be fun, is ten days enough?"

"As far as I know, wherever a big person has a birthday, everyone else has to give a gift or a share of money." Schiff remembered something important, "This is true in my homeland, including the defeated captives, and if anyone opposes it, he will be miserable."

"What's the wrong way?" Vincent asked, "Will it be looked down upon?"

"When the patriarch celebrates his birthday, he will take his people to ask for his guilt," Shiv said, twisting his beard and looking at it, "At that time, it was not easy to make amends, and maybe the entire territory would be compensated."

"What an excellent folklore worth learning!" Vincent's spirit came to him as soon as he heard this, "In other words, the ransom can be increased as a sign of respect, right?"

"That's it, lord." Schiff squeezed his slender eyes and replied in a matter-of-fact manner, "Whoever doesn't give his lord more treasures, slaves, pastures, or women as birthday presents, don't think about it."

"I'm kind of a Skava who values birthdays." Vincent said in a tone of regret, "Unfortunately, I can't betray my race, but I can do good. Announcing the birthday to everyone, including the poor captives."

When the local lords heard the news, they were basically in a stable mood, the young people were excited to have fun and watch the excitement, and the elders of Sweetwater Village gathered together to discuss what birthday gifts to give the lord to his satisfaction.

For merchants and mercenaries, this kind of filial piety to the lord is already a familiar way, and having a reason to congratulate him on his birthday will surely bring Vincent closer to each other sooner, and get more jobs or hot goods.

Of course, the monsters are rejoicing, and who doesn't like the carnival of demons dancing wildly?

When the long-looking Herodian heard the news of the lord's birthday, they were all dumbfounded.

Just kidding, I was released after paying enough ransom, but now it's postponed for another ten days because of the lord's birthday celebration?

If you don't let people go, you will still leave foreign guests as guests with your reputation, and let everyone pay money according to their titles?

The Herodians are going crazy, obviously in the kingdom, it is not easy for His Majesty the King to get all the nobles to pay for their shares.

It's just a demon clan, but they have lost the battle and swallowed their anger for the time being, and now they want to celebrate the birthday of this cruel and cunning lord?

I have never heard of a nobleman who celebrates his birthday for ten days, and when the birthday is over, the wheat in the family's fields will be harvested and put into storage.

Vincent said that birthdays are a feature of the Primorsky Territory, and you can't help but taste it, so you are honorable

Since the guests are uninvited, then don't toast or eat and drink.

The gold coins are in place and want to go early? Don't refute the host's face, if you want to go, first ask Sadaka if the rifle in his hand agrees.

In fact, now except for Prince Lingus, the rest of the little nobles have not completely collected the ransom, most of them have paid a down payment or partial, even if it is not a birthday, Vincent will not let them go, and it is not fragrant to stay here with the demons to take drugs and work? .

Of course, this wasn't entirely bad news, as after the birthday celebrations began, the lord prepared a slightly improved meal for them, not only did they get a little meat every day, but they also had three more glasses of good liquor for dinner.

The taste of the sweet water cellar is excellent, and if the nobles who are addicted to alcohol are not prisoners, they all have the idea of buying a batch to collect at home, even if they are embarrassed to come forward, it is enough to let their merchants act as agents.
