"The Hornlingthali Family...... Claim compensation of 96,000 gold dragons. ”

Alf was too lazy to resist, he had already seen that the other party had made up his mind to move the vault of the Empty Star Fall City.

No, not only Starfall City, but also the vaults of High Hidden City.

"Finally, it's Hawksbill Island." Samwell sighed and said, "What a loss I have in this war!" ”

Natalie comforted intimately, "Don't worry, Sir Caesar, we will compensate you in full for your losses!" ”

Samwell pretended to be grateful, and then said:

"First of all, due to the previous invasion of Eagle's Beak Island by Ulek Shad, my docks were completely destroyed, so I ask for the requisition of the docks in Starfall City as compensation for a period of 99 years."

Alf rolled his eyes, what kind of broken dock is Eagle's Beak Island, and the dock of Starfall City needs to be requisitioned for compensation?

Still 99 years?

Why don't you just grab it!

But he also knew that his opposition would not have any effect, so he simply closed his eyes and pretended to be dead.

"Secondly, my territory was burned to the ground in this war, so Starfall must send 7,000 young men to Eagle's Beak Island to help me rebuild my territory.

In addition, my soldiers and subjects suffered heavy casualties in this war, plus the loss of property and materials, and the Dane family must compensate 80,000 gold dragons. ”

"Wait a minute."

Samwell thought that the old manager was going to question it again, but when he looked up, he found that it was Horace Redwyne who stood up.

"Sir Horace, what is your opinion?"

Horace snorted lightly: "I don't have a problem with the Florent family and the Tully family taking so much, but how many soldiers did you fight in total?" Is it necessary to pay so much compensation? ”

Samwell knew that this guy was simply red-eyed.

"Hehe, I'm afraid you don't know, I have used up almost all the reserves of brandy that I have brewed for three months in this war, which is not a small amount according to ten silver dollars a gallon. What's more, I mobilized almost all the young people of Eaglespew Island to participate in the war this time, and the construction of the territory, brandy brewing, silver mining and other work were all stagnant, do you know how many losses there are? Not to mention how traumatic it is for my people to flee and even witness their homes being destroyed and burned, you know? And ......"

"Stop, stop!" Horace was so dazed by Samwell's bombardment that he had no one else to support him, so he had to give up.

After all, the absolute main force on the side of the river bend in this war is the Florent family and the Tully family, and now that both of them are obviously supporting Samwell, Horace knows that he will not have the right to speak.

If you can have 8,000 gold dragons, you can already explain to Count Paxter when you go back.

After looking around and seeing that no one spoke out against it, Samwell continued:

"Finally, in order to prevent further conflicts between the two places in the future, I think the best way to do this is to strengthen cultural, commercial and people-to-people exchanges. Therefore, Starfall City and High Hidden City must fully exempt goods from Hawksbill Island, and the Dane family must not prevent their subjects from voluntarily going to Hawksbill Island to work, live, or even settle down. ”

"It's a good condition." Natalie nodded thoughtfully, "The work there is quite a lot of pay and good food, I'm sure the people of the Dane family will like it." ”

Arf, the manager, was already rolling his eyes.

Samwell smiled and patted the girl on the shoulder, "I've always been generous to the people who work for me. It doesn't matter if they're Riverwanes, Dorns, or Savages. ”

With that, he handed Natalie the quill and parchment, and said:

"Come, Miss Natalie, if you have no problem with this list of war reparations, sign it later."

"Oh." Natalie obediently signed her name on it.

Alf tried to snatch the quill several times and shred the compensation list, but in the end, he still didn't dare to act.

After all, life is one's own, and as for the things of the Dane family...... That young lady doesn't cherish it herself, he is an outsider who cares so much about what he does.

Natalie's handwriting is not good-looking, and although Ashara has taught her to read and write, she doesn't usually have many opportunities to write.

But in Samwell's eyes, it's probably the most wonderful thing in the world at the moment.

In fact, it's not that he has to bully the little girl and trick her into signing so many war reparations, but that he must weaken the Dane family as much as possible, otherwise a strong Starfall City will not be willing to be controlled by him, and Natalie's position as the city lord will not be stable.

After signing, the faces of the nobles present showed excitement, because it was finally time to harvest.

But just as everyone was about to go to the vault of the Dane family and turn it inside out, a guard suddenly ran in outside the door and reported:

"Ladies and gentlemen, His Royal Highness Prince Oberon is coming to Starfall City, and he is outside the castle gate at this moment."

There was a sudden silence in the hall.

After a while, Count Landau, who had been silent before, spoke: "The 'Red Viper' came quite quickly, how many soldiers and horses did he bring?" ”

"He's ...... Alone"

Earl Landau was stunned for a moment, and said, "Please let him in." ”

"Yes."

As soon as he heard the name of Prince Oberon, the smiles on the faces of everyone in the river bend suddenly disappeared.

After all, the shadow of the famous tree, the "Red Viper" Prince Oberon should be the most dangerous man in the Martell family, and even in the whole of Dorne.

As the younger brother of Prince Dowran, the ruler of Dorne, Prince Oberon was of noble birth but fierce and fierce, often fighting people to the death, even resorting to poisoning, which was a serious means of damaging his reputation.

Therefore, although most of the knights of the Seven Kingdoms despised this person, they were also extremely vigilant against this person, and even secretly feared him.

The Knight of the Bend hated him in particular, as he had mutilated Willas Tyrrell, the eldest son of the Duke of Metz and heir to the High Court.

Samwell put away the parchment and hid it close to himself, at which point he secretly congratulated himself that Natalie had signed it, and that the Dane family would have to pay the compensation unless the Martell family tore their faces and refused to recognize her inheritance.

As for whether the Martell family will actually tear their faces, Samwell thinks it's very unlikely.

After all, after this battle, it is difficult for Dorn to have the ability to fight another big battle with Riverbend in the short term.

What's more, that Prince Dolang is notoriously tolerant, and if it weren't for his hot-tempered daughter jumping out to make trouble this time, this war would not have expanded to this scale at all.

As he pondered, Samwell saw a tall figure appear in the doorway.

It was a middle-aged man dressed in an orange, yellow, and red silk robe, with a high nose, a narrow forehead, short black and shiny hair, very light eyebrows, and a pair of eyes as black as eternal night, always shining dangerously, like a poisonous snake.

"Riverbend people." Prince Oberon walked into the hall alone, as if he were carrying thousands of troops.

His cold gaze swept over the faces of the nobles of Hewan one by one, and said in a questioning tone:

"What about my niece?"
