Just when the important ministers were thinking about whether to encircle the current number one enemy and become a quasi-son-in-law, this evil guy was becoming a square pressure on the Sarande negotiating team.
First of all, the Vikia army that ordered the siege of Salander Kyoto to retreat 20 miles on the surface that the armistice negotiations required sincerity, so that the Salander Northern Army, which was constantly eager to enter the attack array, got the opportunity to face the outer walls of Kyoto
Now the most want to break Kyoto, not the Vykians, but Salander's own people, the retreat of the Wiki army, leading zhì into the first line of attack area, are the army of the Northern Alliance composed of the North and South Salanders, especially most of the Salander southern soldiers who bear the blood feud of Kyoto, for them once respected Kyoto, the hatred is far greater than the fat man expected, not only spontaneously organized a death squad of 10,000 people, but also more refugees in the rear to join, the number of people reached more than 40,000 people, and the periphery of Kyoto was surrounded by wind and rain,
The war-spirited northern military camp is far more unscrupulous than the previous arrogant Wikibians, the Wikiyans are a little more vicious at most, but the Northern Army wants the life of the negotiation team, except for the Palschena sacrifice and her maid Red Moon, everyone in the negotiation team is on the **, even the third prince Harris has not been spared, for the bold behavior of the Northern Army, although the entire Salander negotiation team is full of complaints, but can only stare angrily,
With the great increase in the strength of the Northern Army, the residence of the negotiation team under the heavy defense has become the hardest hit area by the attack, and in just 2 days of negotiations, there have been 14 storms on the negotiation team, if it were not for the timely intervention of the Vikzhian army, only with the 100 Mamunuk knights escorted by the third prince, they would have been besieged by the angry soldiers of the Northern Army of Salander,
Out of desperation, the third prince Harris could only agree that the Vikia side would be responsible for the security of the negotiation team, and all points would be garrisoned by the Vikchian army, while the Palschena priest and the maid Red Moon agreed to move out of the negotiating team because they were women and had a special relationship with the Grand Duke of Nilai of the Northern Army, and served as a liaison with the Grand Duke of Nilai during the negotiations.
Of course, the escort of the Vikia army is not done in vain, the 2 Vekia flag regiments are sandwiched on both sides, one on the left and one on the right, not so much protection, more like house arrest in disguise, the military formation and the murderous barracks, the rest of the negotiation team was stunned, the strength of the Vikia army is obvious to all, watching the strict guards cavalry cross back and forth
On the morning of the third day of the negotiations, the fat man and the general of the Central Army, Hukochili, who was in charge of the negotiations, came to the negotiating team's residence, and the entire negotiating team was at a loss for the sudden arrival of the Grand Duke of Falcon
"Are you satisfied with your stay here?"
The fat man's knife-like gaze swept over the third prince Harris, whose face was a little ugly, and sat on a carved spired wooden chair in the middle of the negotiation team.
"Very good, thank you for the protection of the Grand Duke, if it weren't for the assistance of the Grand Duke, we are afraid that we would have been injured a long time ago" The third prince Harris stood up, holding his right hand on his chest with a respectful face, the last secret meeting made the third prince of Salander Harris not come back to his senses for several days, ** or extermination, this topic seems too heavy for him,
After all, he is just a pampered prince, with a little ambition and ambition, but in the face of the sophisticated psychological offensive of the powerful Vekia Falcon, he almost didn't collapse,
Now that I think about it, his little heart that still has sequelae is thumping uncontrollably
"It's good to be satisfied"
The fat man's face was full of obscene smiles, and he casually threw a document notice that had been prepared a long time ago and covered with the official document of Wiki on the table, "There is an agreement contract on your security here, if there is no objection, please ask His Royal Highness the Prince to sign this document."
"Agreement contract for security issues?" The corners of the third prince's mouth were crooked, staring at Wen Jiàn on the table with a look of surprise, next to a group of stunned guys
"Don't be nervous, it's just a matter of the cost of protecting your safety," the fat man put on the most kind smile in his own opinion, and said in a weasel tone of greeting the chicken for the New Year, "In order to protect your safety, I've got 2 main battle flag regiments and 16,000 brave and good warriors ready to go, this is wind and rain every day, and the protection fee of 50,000 gold coins a day is not expensive."
"Protection fee of 50,000 yuan a day ......",
Prince Harris shuddered, a little dumbfounded, now he is most afraid of mentioning money, the Kingdom of Salander is not a poor country, but a year of continuous war, Kyoto's treasury has long been empty to starve to death of mice, and even the travel expenses of this negotiation team are still paid by the third prince Harris himself, which is why Harris pays special attention to the free route, he is thinking about taking a free carriage back if the negotiation fails
The other members of the negotiation team are also looking at each other, which one is this?
"It's funny," a general Salander muttered in a slightly annoyed whisper, "it's the first time I've heard of a negotiator who needs to pay his own money in exchange for safety."
"No way, you know better than me that it's not me who wants to attack you, but you Salander people" In response to the sarander general's ridicule, the fat man's face shrugged his shoulders unchanged
"In order to disperse the troublesome Salander Northern Army, we have to take some extreme measures, which has a very bad impact on our Vikia Army, you know, the Northern Army is our ally, and the center of the Vekia Business Association is also within the scope of the Northern Army, in order to protect you, we have offended a lot of people, shouldn't such sacrifices be made up?"
The fat man's words made everyone in the Salander negotiating group blush, although the request of the Vekia Falcon was a little unreasonable, but it was not completely untenable, as a third-party military force, the Vekia army was a kind of transcendent existence in this Salander civil war, even if the Northern Army killed the entire negotiating team, it had nothing to do with the Vikia people, even if it was said in the future, no one would accuse Vekia of the problem
"If you think you have an opinion, then I'll let the army withdraw" Fat looked at the collective silent Salander negotiating team opposite, and stood up a little impatiently to prepare to leave for these unwiring iron roosters
"This is your own business for the Salanders, I don't need to take advantage of the interests of Vekia, as for the negotiation, let's wait until you take care of the internal affairs first."
"Don't, Grand Duke, everything is negotiable" The Duke of Cutuson, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, hurriedly stood up with a pale face, and stopped in front of the fat man regardless of his identity,
I don't know who revealed the news, the entire Salander Northern Army knew that it was this Duke of Cutussen who signed a secret treaty with the Normans who occupied the South, and the anger of the entire Northern Army burst out at once, but most of them were focused on him, and when they saw that the Vekia Falcon was going to let go, they were so frightened that they even turned white, without the Vekia army, those Northerners would not have skinned themselves alive
"How is it, have you thought about it?" The fat man laughed secretly in his heart, of course he knew very well about the careful thinking of the Salander people, anyway, he had no intention of attacking Salander Kyoto, it was better to use guò this method, and extort as many vested interests from Salander Kyoto as possible, as for Salander Kyoto, a place where there are more bones than meat, it is better to leave it to the hungry Normans next to him, a person who has indigestion and is uncomfortable enough not to choke to death
"Is it possible that the Grand Duke can ensure that the negotiating team continues to live as long as he has money?" After hesitating for a moment, Prince Harris, whose face was flushed, suddenly gritted his teeth and asked
"Of course, I'm very reputable," the fat man looked stern and put on a saint's face, "The promise made by my Vecchia Falcon has not expired until now, and the whole continent is clear"
stood up and put a golden scroll hidden on his chest on the table, "This is a 300,000 gold promissory note of the business alliance issued by the duke himself, I believe that His Excellency the duke will not refuse the promissory note issued by himself."
The fat man picked up the cashier's note and flicked it, and after confirming that it was correct, he was extremely happy to put it in his arms."
"Well, for the sake of your sincere attitude, I'll give you a 9% discount" The fat man stopped, like a grocery store owner who introduced goods, with a disapproving expression
"If you have plans to stay for a long time, I also have a package service, more than 10 days to get 8% off, more than 30 days to get 6% off, this is a cheap and popular thing, think about it, there is a majestic Vekia army for you to stand guard, I believe that just return to Kyoto, will become the focus of attention of the whole Kyoto"
"The focus, I'm afraid it's the focus of the public that is indirectly hung on the city tower."
Prince Harris, the head of the negotiating team sitting opposite, rolled his eyes speechlessly, what kind of first general is this, Grand Duke of Vecchia Falcon, who is known as the richest monarch in the continent, is he still short of such a little money?
Although the negotiating team has already put on an open-minded posture for all kinds of difficulties that the Vekia Falcon may use, but the current posture is only afraid that it will not be able to be mixed, as one party is in control, it is such an ugly appearance, but it is also in line with the consistent shameless face of the Vekia Falcon, and the reputation of the Vekia Falcon for its rude etiquette is notorious even across the strait
"Drag, it's better to drag even the pants off" The fat man looked at His Royal Highness the Third Prince who was in a trance, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and left the station of the negotiation team, the fat man stepped on the war horse led by the guards outside the door, raised his head and looked, the weather was good.
