Empty threats, that's how Curt feels. (Please search Bayi Chinese Net, the fastest updated novel website!). If the king of Oldland could be so arrogant, he wouldn't have had to go to great lengths to contact Eorham. The sword-wielding country of Otlan is clearly in crisis, and there is no doubt that the strictness of the shape shì has even reached the point of forcing them to change their traditions.

So Curt silently stared at the knight for a moment, and then turned around. He raised his hand and made a gesture. A few seconds later, an extremely powerful fireball flew over and exploded in midair. The heat wave ensued, startling the knights' horses. As the knights pulled the reins and let out a 'shhh He saluted not quite standardly, and said to the startled knight:

"My name is Curt, and I am here to help the sword-wielding nation of Aultan on behalf of the supreme ruler of the Thousand Laws City, Lord Eoham, the dragon player. My responsibility is to evaluate the form and help you get through it. If you can show enough willingness to cooperate, then Thousand Law City will take the next step. Otherwise, I will leave you behind. ”

Curt's voice was cold and unforgiving, just telling the facts objectively. The leading knight didn't know how to refute for a while, but the powerful fireball technique just now shocked him. Even the knight-in-command, who didn't know much about spells, knew that the powerful fireball technique was enough to take out several of his subordinates.

If this is a simple demonstration, then the power at Curt's disposal cannot be underestimated. The knight had noticed that the mercenaries were carrying strange guns. He guessed it was some kind of magic item, perhaps with an unexpected use.

After weighing, the leading knight put away his sword. He rolled over and dismounted, and took off his helmet. Curt saw a face that had been battered by the vicissitudes of life, with several long and short scars on it. The leading knight coughed dryly, and then stretched out his hand and said in a deep voice:

"I'm Baron William, and it's a pleasure to meet you, Lord Curt. We ask for your forgiveness for previous offenses, this is our custom. By order of His Majesty the Qurant, I have come to greet you and your party. I'll lead you to the Shade Castle in a moment, and until then, I'd like to speak with you privately. ”

After putting away his aggressive attitude, William can be called personable. He has short golden hair, and the whole person looks quite neat. After shaking Curt's hand, William gave a simple instruction to let the knights disperse and rest. Hundreds of guards arrived to help the knights take off their heavy armor.

Curt disbanded the mercenaries and followed William to a makeshift tent. They sat on the floor, eating simple food, and began a formal meeting.

For William's previous recklessness, Curt didn't really care. When dealing with strangers, he has a mind of enough to accommodate all kinds of quirks. William sincerely apologized several times, and seemed solemn. He said a few more polite words, and then he said straight to the point:

"I would venture to ask, did you only bring these men, Lord Curt, and if so, you would probably be reprimanded a lot. His Majesty Gurant wanted the aid of an entire army, and he valued his cooperation with the city of a thousand laws. We were flanked by two nations, at least three thousand soldiers, and five hundred knights. ”

"You seem to have just said that there are a thousand knights in your country, Lord William?"

Curt thought about it and questioned. He didn't know what was going on in Alteran, and he didn't want to waste his tongue in circles. For a moment, William looked a little embarrassed. He was silent for a moment, and then said very aggrievedly:

"Yes, we do have a thousand knights. However, due to the lack of horses and armor, there were less than 300 knights who could actually fight. ”

"I see. ”

Curt took a sip of his tea and decided not to ask any more. Roughly as expected, Otlan has encountered a strong enemy that he cannot deal with, and he is facing the disaster of destroying his country. Fortunately, Aotland is only a small country covering more than 2,000 square kilometers, and his opponents are similar. However, Aotran has a good outlet to the sea, which is a good springboard for Ioham, who intends to get involved in the big six.

From the fact that William brought fifty knights to greet and defend him, Curt could sense the importance that Aotland valued cooperation. On the other hand, William also proposed that Curt and his party must cover up their identities and disguise themselves as ordinary mercenaries. This is to avoid creating more enemies and making other nations fall into the trap and find an excuse to declare war on Otlan. Having dealings with the City of a Thousand Laws is a taboo in itself, let alone allowing Eoham's agents to set foot on the territory.

After discussion, Curt temporarily switched identities. He disguised himself as the leader of the Swordsmith Mercenary Regiment to accept William's employment. On the Big 6, this is a very common thing. Due to the frequent outbreak of wars, the number of professional mercenary groups is very large. Their primacy is uneven, and most of them are similar to organized banditry. Only a small number of elite mercenary groups can maintain a combat effectiveness comparable to that of the regular army.

Curt didn't discuss it with William in depth, he knew that the other party couldn't call the shots when it came to big things. Later, escorted by the cavalry, Curt and his party returned to the road. They encountered no twists and turns, and arrived at the Green Shade Fort in the afternoon. Curt left his men outside the castle and entered the castle alone to be entertained. This is the safest thing to do, and Curt doesn't want to risk it before signing an agreement.

The Greenshade Castle was not large, which made Curt feel a little disappointed. He thought that the important town of Aotland would look decent, but it was just a large masonry building, and only about 2,000 people lived. In Curt's view, Greenshade Castle is a typical example of stupidity. It resembles a flattened mage tower, and the construction techniques used can only be described as crude.

There's not much to see in the interior of the castle, and the most comfortable rooms are just extra fur from the animals. Compared to the City of a Thousand Laws, Otlan gives Curt the impression of being a poor and remote country. If there was an all-out war between the two, Curt had no doubt that the Thousand Laws would easily raze ten Alterans.

Fortunately, during the meal, Duke Henry, who attended with William, was very good. He was about fifty years old, white but in good spirits. Wounded in battle in his early years, Duke Henry covered one eye with an eye patch. While dismembering the steak with heroic means, he said with a smile:

"It's an honor to meet you, Master Curt. You can see that you are a strong fighter. It is believed that Lord Eorham took great pains in choosing the messenger. He understands our situation very well, which is why he entrusts you with help. ”

"You think too highly of me, Lord Henry. In Thousand Laws City, I was mainly in charge of administrative work, and I was not a big person. Of course, there is no doubt that Lord Eorham attaches great importance to the situation in your country. I have been instructed to understand the situation, and as long as the time is right, the Thousand Law City will definitely give your country full support. ”

Curt slowly cooked the steak with salt and spices, and he was very much on the edge of the snake. Henry was clearly talking about getting Curt's promise at no cost. He actually looked down on Curt and thought that Curt would have the patience to go around in circles. Henry believes that the response of a thousand laws to Aotlan shows that they also have something to want. Henry thinks he has enough leverage to make a big deal in the negotiations.

To Henry's surprise, though, Curt was very difficult. Although Curt looks to be only about 20 years old, he knows how to deal with various topics smoothly. He will never answer positively if he can not answer positively, and even if he is forced to express his position, he will not forget to add various "if", "if", and "maybe" conditions as preconditions.

This made Henry very helpless, and he had to admit that he was the one who had no time. From the moment King Gurrant made up his mind to ask for help from the city of a thousand laws, the nobles of Otlan were divided into two factions. As the side that agrees with Goorant, Henry is under tremendous pressure. He was even forced to leave the royal city and run to defend an important military fortress, the Green Shade Fortress.

In order to wait for Curt, half a month passed in vain. Now Orlante's form is in danger, but Henry can't say it. His mission was to 'get reinforcements from the city of a thousand laws with dignity,' and there were many complex reasons for this. In fact, just to welcome Curt into the Green Shade Castle, Henry has already used various means to subdue a large number of people.

So after figuring out that Curt was not easy to deal with, Henry had few options. He glanced at Baron William beside him, and William immediately waved his hand knowingly and drove all the servants out of the room. When the room was empty, Henry put down his knife and fork. He put on a grim look and looked at Curt meaningfully. Curt smiled knowingly, he pushed away the steak that had not been touched at all, and said calmly:

"You should have been like this in the first place, Lord Henry. It's not a good habit to look down on people, especially when dealing with people you don't know. ”

"Yes, I'm too optimistic. Lord Curt, when you were in the City of a Thousand Laws, you should have been in charge of more than just the so-called administrative work, as you know, I am the Duke of Otlan, and I am a man who is trusted by His Majesty the King. What about you? Please be open and honest with me about how influential your opinion can be. ”

Henry tore off his hypocritical face and began to bluntly force Curt to take a stand. Curt thought for a moment and didn't answer immediately. His prudence only raised Henry's sense of anticipation, and at last Curt leaned his elbow on the table and said word by word:

"I am Lord Eorham's envoy, do you understand? Lord Eoham did not choose a certain ** master, but chose me to help you, I believe this is the result of his careful consideration. In other respects, it's hard for me to promise you anything. Because the attitude of your country is the condition that determines a qiē. What I can do is help you hold on to the battle for the time being. Where have your enemies gone? Remember, I'm here to destroy them. ”

"Speak big!"

Just as Henry frowned thoughtfully, someone kicked open the door and rushed in. They weren't very old, but they were all armed. (To be continued.) )
