Chapter 184: Merger and Negotiation [4K]
After hours of fierce battles, Kanna finally held on to the support of Baron Mane, and successfully annihilated the last army of the living dead.
The nightmare who lodged with Baron Brace abandoned his body and miraculously escaped, hiding in the shadows and sleeping in the dark......
This battle is only a microcosm of the entire province of Grimm, three of the five counties in Grimm Province have fought the battle of the living dead, although they all subsided in time, but the shock caused was no less than a civilian uprising.
The battle report was delivered to Archduke Douglas, and it successfully attracted his attention, and the lair of the Evil God Apostolic Council, which had been exposed, retreated completely, and once again hiberned behind the scenes, preparing unknown plans.
But on the other hand, the [Nightmare Project], which had just developed in the South, was fatally attacked by the nobles of the entire South, and five barons, one viscount, and more than twenty transcendents were killed on the spot.
Quinn escaped the pursuit, but lost contact with the remaining lodgers, leaving all the surviving Nightmares into a deep sleep......
Ryan looked at the information sent by Delai, and shouted in his heart that he was glad that if Delai hadn't seen through the enemy's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain in time, the current Kana Leader might have followed in the footsteps of the Archie family.
"Delai has lived up to your trust and expectations." Alan said with a soft face.
In his heart, he could understand more clearly how much pressure Delai was facing, he and Delai were both halfway loyal to Ryan, and the time was only more than two years.
Despite this, Ryan gave them a high degree of trust and support, which surprised the two and was a little panicked at the same time, for fear that they would live up to Ryan's trust.
Now, Delai has proven himself to Ryan, and he Allen ...... When will you be able to prove yourself?
Alan suddenly felt a sense of urgency in his heart.
Ryan didn't think so much, and said to Alan seriously: "I have never doubted his ability, otherwise I wouldn't let him guard the territory."
Write back to Delai, asking him to occupy the Chert territory as quickly as possible, remembering to minimize the use of violence in the process, pacify the people after the occupation, give relief to the victims, and collect food.
The orc invasion is imminent, and you must beware of the orcs, if the city of Chelt is not well garrisoned, the people will be transferred to Kanna, the population is the most valuable asset. ”
Alan immediately understood Ryan's intentions, and couldn't help but say, "Is it okay to do this, Viscount Chelse's side......"
"I'll explain it on the viscount's side, as for the attitude of the others, we don't have to pay too much attention to it, the current situation, in the territory bordering Chelt City, the Yanhua Collar is not worried, and the Brace Collar has also become a mess.
Other than that, it's just the Viscount and us, and I'll have a way to convince the Viscount. "Ryan sees the situation very clearly, this is a great opportunity for him to expand, and he has to give it his all.
"But it's a barony, after all, will the king's side agree to annex it to Cana?" Alan reminded him.
"The orc invasion is imminent, and even if the king doesn't agree, they can't help it, because they can't find anyone who can take over this mess.
Ten thousand steps back, even if His Majesty does not agree, the population and wealth have reached Kanna, and the Chert territory is a wasteland, and it is on the border, and no one will want this land.
No one wants it to be a borderland, I have the Pioneer Sword given by His Majesty himself, I can fulfill the right to pioneer, and His Majesty will not be able to find fault with me when the time comes. ”
Since Ryan wants to get involved, he naturally won't be hot-headed, he has thought it through and considered all aspects clearly, and he will win this wave.
Seeing that what Ryan said was reasonable, Alan also faded the doubts in his heart and went to reply to Delai.
Ryan is on the other hand to resolve the only uncertain element of the plan – Viscount Chelse.
The reason is simple, he can do what Chels can do, and it is more justifiable, because he is the governor of Lintonshire, and he has the right and the right to take over these territories, even the king cannot find fault with him.
With all his chips in hand, Ryan arrived at Chels' station.
It was still an old acquaintance who received him, Knight Lacey, and the other party didn't ask him what he was doing, and after greeting him, he said: "Lei, the viscount is not here now, if you are not in a hurry, you can go to the big tent and wait." ”
Ryan is very Buddhist, after all, it's useless to be in a hurry, and it's easy to mess up, but is it really good for Chels to go directly into his big tent without him?
As if seeing his question, Reis said with a smile: "This is what the Viscount said, you go in directly, I want to inspect the army, and I will be lost." ”
Ryan was a little moved when he heard this, which is also a manifestation of trust.
After seeing Lacey leave, Ryan opened the curtain and walked in, this is where Chels usually lives, and it is also the office area, so he didn't look around, and found a place to sit down in a proper manner.
He had not yet sat on the heat of his ass when he sensed someone coming, and the breath was somewhat familiar, but it was not Chels.
Sure enough, the next moment Aisha walked in, and she said slightly apologetically: "I'm sorry Baron Lane, my father hasn't come back from the meeting, please wait a while, someone has been sent to inform me." ”
Ryan is asking for someone, what is it to wait a while? He smiled and said, "I've just arrived, so I'm rude to talk about it, and I should have delivered the post to the viscount in advance." ”
The two have communicated many times, which is relatively familiar, and Chels is not cold in the absence of the two, and the communication is very smooth.
The two still talk better, Aisha likes to listen to stories, this is Lane's strength, after all, the previous life was not in vain, what fairy tales, jokes, and anecdotes come when you open your mouth, so that the smile on Aisha's face has never broken.
During this period, it was not only him who was talking, Aisha knew that he was interested in magic, and tried her best to explain all kinds of elementary magic knowledge to Ryan in easy-to-understand language, which was full of dry goods, which made Ryan shout "Posture".
Just when the two were chatting hotly, Chels finally rushed back, and seeing them chatting like this, Chels was in a good mood.
"Ray, why do you have time to come to me today?" Chels asked with a smile.
He was pretending to be confused, and he knew what Ryan was doing in his heart, and he asked this just to get the right to bark first.
Ryan also knew in his heart that seeing that Chels did not mean to avoid Aisha, he said bluntly: "My lord, I am here for the affairs of Chelt. ”
Chels raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "You are really not suitable to be a politician, so you expose your intentions, and you are not afraid that I will sit on the ground and raise the price?" ”
Ryan also smiled and said sincerely: "You are an elder, you have always taken great care of me, I remember it in my heart, it would be rude to do that in front of you." ”
"Hahaha, you, you're really a goblin, since you said that I am an elder, then I will rely on the old man and sell the old once, and call you a nephew." Chels laughed and unceremoniously put himself in the position of an elder.
"Then I'll take the liberty of calling you uncle." Ryan also climbed up the pole, and he didn't suffer anyway.
Aisha on the side blinked her eyes, and she didn't react, why did she change her name? But the smile on his father's face didn't seem fake, he was really happy.
She knew that Chels liked to invest in young people, but it was the first time he had done so, which showed that he was indeed very optimistic about Ryan.
The two exchanged a few words, and Chels, who was in a good mood, didn't have the idea of embarrassing Lane, and said bluntly: "Although we are uncles and nephews in private, this matter involves the interests of the family, and I naturally won't give it to you easily, it depends on your sincerity." ”
Ryan nodded in understanding, he didn't expect such a big piece of meat to be prostituted in vain, he said solemnly: "I brought my greatest sincerity this time, it depends on what you want." ”
This can be regarded as completely throwing the initiative out, which means that as long as he can afford it, Chels will mention it casually, even if it is the formula of green sugar, he will not hesitate.
"Looks like you've made up your mind this time, I'll give him a roll of the eye if it's anyone else, but I really have a few things to interest you kid.
I don't hide it from you, I know the merchant named Zog, and I also know that he bought the rights to operate paper and liquor from you.
Although they are tempting, I am more interested in the thing called cement, and the perfume, and Aisha says she loves the perfume you give. Chels glanced at Aisha, who was blushing.
"It's my honor that Miss Aisha likes it." Ryan was smiling, he already knew that Aisha was using a perfume from Canna, after all, the fragrance was unique.
"Since you are interested in cement, then you should know what it does, and there are two conditions that I can provide you with.
First, according to the cooperation model of green sugar, I will ship the goods, and you will be responsible for selling.
The second is that I will directly provide you with a certain amount of cement, which is determined by you and paid in a lump sum. ”
Although he knew that what Chels wanted was a cement formula, cement was different from green sugar, and he had no intention of taking it out for the time being.
Chels didn't even think about it, he directly chose the first one, what are you kidding, as long as this thing works well, it is not less profitable than green sugar.
"Due to the problem of perfume, I am willing to provide you with ten bottles per year free of charge, what do you think?"
Chels thought for a moment, put up two fingers and said, "Twenty bottles, although I don't know your output, but your mother, Mrs. Kellenman, can give away a lot at a time, and ten bottles is too petty." ”
"Okay, deal." Ryan agreed, for fear that he would regret it, compared to a territory, what is twenty bottles of perfume a year?
"Tsk, it feels like it's going to be less." Chels smacked his lips and muttered.
Ryan naturally knew that he was taking advantage, and he organized the language and said: "This time the two baronies have become borderless lands, and the Brace territory is completely bordered by your territory, and the land is fertile and abundant.
IMHO, it will also take a while for you to digest it. And the Chelt Territory, which is on the front line of resistance against the orcs in Lintonshire, will also be a big burden for you if you accept it all.
And you also know the situation of the Kana Territory, to the south is the Warcraft Mountain Range, to the east is the East China Sea, there is not much room for development, I really need the Celt Territory as a breakthrough.
I can assure you here that if you can annex the Chert Territory, within five years, I will completely stop the orc raids. ”
A gleam flashed in Chels's eyes, and he stared into Ryan's eyes and said, "Five years, are you sure you can do it?" ”
Facing Chels's sharp gaze, Ryan naturally did not show timidity at this time, and said firmly: "Starting next year, for a period of five years, if I can't do it, I will give you whatever formula you want." ”
"Haha, okay, it's a word." Chels laughed out loud and reached out to Lane three times in a row, representing an agreement between the two.
"Since you've said that, Celt won't mix it with me, but how to get it depends on your ability." Chels said cheerfully.
"Please rest assured, uncle, if I didn't have this ability, I wouldn't have come to you." Ryan said confidently.
……
After sending Ryan away, Aisha said with some doubts: "Father, although Baron Ryan is extraordinary, but after all, his background is shallow, can he really fulfill his promise?" ”
"If it were him, I'd be willing to gamble, and I didn't lose anything anyway." Chels shrugged, he didn't know if Ryan could do it, but he was willing to believe him.
Aisha nodded thoughtfully.
Chelt suddenly said coldly, "What do you think of him?" ”
"Huh?" Aisha didn't keep up with his rhythm for a while, and subconsciously replied: "Baron Ryan is brave, resourceful, and knowledgeable, and it is naturally very good for a person to work hard to this point and make many achievements." ”
"Well, isn't that annoying?"
Aisha nodded subconsciously, then reacted, and stomped her feet a little angrily: "What are you talking about, I...... I, I've cultivated. ”
Looking at Aisha, who couldn't speak, Chels smiled like a fan, and said to himself: "If you don't hate it, you can do it, if you don't hate it, you can become a ......."
——————
With Chels' tacit approval, the annexation plan went very smoothly, and Delai drove his army into the Chert territory according to Lane's instructions, and declared that he would temporarily take over the whole territory of Chelt.
The others didn't react, the Jin Yanhua family couldn't sit still first, and they were also greedy.
But there is a practical problem in front of them, Baron Jin Yanhua died on the battlefield, and at present, several heirs have almost beaten their brains out in order to compete for the title, where is there still a capital to fight, after all, the orc invasion is imminent, and they can't hold it if they get it.
So they had to thunder and rain and the dog barked a few words, and then they died down.
With no outside forces to interfere with, the plan went smoothly, and the people of the Chert Territory naturally accepted the control of the Kana Territory.
In this situation, whoever is willing to take over is their savior, who cares what his identity is, not to mention that the soldiers of Kana Ling are strictly disciplined, and after entering the city, they did not burn, kill, and torture, but also helped to harvest late rice and relieve the victims.
After some operation, most of the people directly threw the baron Archie to the sky, after all, this guy had a really bad reputation when he was alive, and he had already lost the hearts of the people after a few defeats.
As a result, the eagle-eyed banner of the Black family flew high in the city of Chert......
