Valentino, Court Chamber.

The king and his ministers sat on the top chairs, and behind them stood a group of magicians, who looked at the witch opposite from her, who had always hidden her watch in her robes, and their worries could not be suppressed.

"I'm sorry, but we can't meet many of the terms of the agreement, including the cession of half of Valentino, the expulsion of the church, and the war tax of 30,000 gold coins."

After watching the ministers exchange glances with each other, the king finally spoke.

"Is Valentino already that difficult?" Lucy asked in a deep voice.

"It's a bit of a shame, but it's true, the court's expenses have been cut by eighty, and I only eat two side dishes a day." The king looked at Lucy and discussed, "But we can give a war tax of five thousand gold coins, and recognize the legitimacy of the territory occupied by Leman before, which is the greatest sincerity that the kingdom can show." ”

"His Majesty has this confidence because he has put the war on the church, right?" Lucy sneered softly when she heard this, "We have been fighting with each other for so long, how many paladins are there in the archdiocese, and how many believers can be mobilized with the prestige of the church now?" Do you expect a group of peasants to go and fight the cavalry of the Horde? ”

"Although we are at a disadvantage, does Grand Elder Lucy have the confidence to defeat the tribe?" At this time, the Minister of War said, "The tribe has an army of 100,000 troops, and you are not here to help us, but also to protect yourself, since this is a cooperative relationship, why talk about so many conditions?" ”

"We can deploy in our own territory, and in the quarantine zone, that is to help you." Lucy looked at the Minister of War and said, "You could have divided a region for the Church, so why can't you give it to us?" ”

"That's because you're insatiable!" Hearing this, the Minister of War said angrily, "Valentino is now occupied by you and only the royal capital is left!" ”

"Then you can't let us help for nothing, can you?" Lucy was silent for a moment and said, "We can guarantee that we will form an alliance with the kingdom in the future, sign a non-infringement agreement, and even let a third-party church of the saints be a notary." ”

Lucy's words silenced the ministers, and the king frowned, she saw that the fire was almost over, so she said, "The land we have recovered is enough to support the façade of a principality, and there will be no more wars for a small piece of territory, you have also seen the stalemate during this time, in fact, the garrison is just to prevent you from counterattacking, if you don't accept the alliance, it doesn't matter, after Valentino is breached, it's a big deal that we will bring the population back to the Witch Forest." ”

"The war tax is abolished, and we can guarantee that they will not be behind their backs, and I can sell the territory to Count Lieman with a width of three kilometers on the western border of Valentino, and you will also be responsible for the defense of that area and the western part of Valentino." The king pondered for a moment and said, "If you don't agree, prepare to withdraw to the Great Wasteland." ”

"Yes." Lucy readily agreed, although there was less land, but it could be regarded as opening up an exit to the outside.

The two sides signed the agreement directly in the council chamber, and no one mentioned the notary public, Lucy took the agreement and saluted the kingdom slightly, and then left to transfer the troops, and the military minister also took the king's warrant to transfer the guards against witches to the northern front.

"Tell the church about our agreement, ask them to send someone to defend the city, even if the paladins are dead, some priests, our warriors need spiritual encouragement." The king said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Hearing this, one of the guards hurriedly walked out.

"Besides, the witch is here, and the mage has to go too." The kingdom looked at the chief magician of the court on the side and said, "Although they share half of the attack, if the enemy finds them difficult to attack, they will concentrate their forces against us. ”

"No problem, but please protect yourself." The Chief Magician said.

"The court still has some force, and then I will be stationed in the archbishop, you don't have to worry about me." The king said.

As soon as the morning dawned, Count Leman's army and the Witch Hundreds' regiment passed through the new territory and arrived at the wall, and the military minister, who had been waiting for a long time, ordered the guards to change their guards and gather to the east, the minister did not remove the city defense equipment on the city wall, but looked at Lucy, who was personally on the front line, and ordered, "We must abide by the agreement signed, and there must be no idea of colluding with the tribe." ”

"Please rest assured, the Witch Forest is a heritage sect, and there is still integrity, don't look at the tribe There are also wizards, but they are different from us." Lucy looked at the minister and said, "But your guards have to hold on, we still have strong reinforcements." ”

"Reinforcements?" The Minister of War was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then suddenly realized, "You mean the Church of the Sage?" ”

"Well, someone has been sent to inform." Lucy nodded.

"Thank you for the news, so that the guards have confidence." The Minister of War said happily, "I'll go and tell them the good news, and you're busy." ”

In the tribal camp five miles away from the wall, the commander who was designated as the commander listened to the scout's report, looked at the other captains and said, "The guards on the city wall are changing guards, who will attack in the past?" ”

"I'll go." A captain stood up when he heard the voice, yesterday's battle was without his subordinates, and it was time to pick him up today.

"Catapults are still being manufactured, and there will be a lot of losses in the assault, so Najib will also go over to help." The commander said.

"Yes!" The two captains walked out of the tent when they heard this.

"Commander, in fact, I think the children should be restrained, otherwise they won't be able to find a blacksmith for hundreds of miles, and give them so much time to prepare under the city walls." The Grand Wizard of the army said.

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander." The wizard's assistant also said, "After all, these places will still be ruled in the future, and since they have succumbed, let's try to kill as few as possible." ”

"As the land increases, and our people are scattered all over the place, the huge number is diluted a lot, and sometimes it is not possible to use the means of terror." The Commander looked at the two wizards and said, pausing as he swept over their deer-like lower halves and sheep's hooves, "But since the wizard said so, then I'll let them restrain me." ”

"That's good, after all, these places still need to rely on agriculture and commerce, and are not suitable for grazing." When the wizard heard this, he stood up, and his assistant hurriedly helped him, and it was not until the two wizards walked out that the captains continued to talk.

"It feels like they're better than us." A captain said.

"That's wisdom, it's not about people." The commander shook his head slightly, "That appearance can no longer be called a human." ”

"Half-demonization is already very powerful, and it is said that there is a complete Bafu Demon Slayer in the Gray Black Witch Tent." Captain Wan snorted lightly, "It is said that the royal court drove out the Great Wizard because it was dissatisfied with these monsters. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, the great wizard's share will always be noble, it's just that he needs Montenegro to refine hell." The commander frowned, "There's a fight outside, let's go out and have a look." ”
