Section 217 Journey (7)
If the city of Fulan is considered a very prosperous city in Falmalik, if the port of the west wind is the center of maritime transportation in the Republic of Yaman, then the city of Fulan is now the center of land trade in the Republic of Yaman, and there was Bofeng City to compete with before, but since Bofeng City fell into the hands of the Apuro Empire, the dual status of the political center and the land trade center of Ruofulan has become more prominent.
However, in Solomon's eyes, this was only the extent of St. Quentin when he crossed over to Keos.
"Are you really going to see Andreyf?" said Khorin solemnly.
The group had already stepped into the streets of Ruofu Blue City, and after entering the city, they could already feel that the city was in a state of tension.
This is not surprising, first the Apuro Empire launched a war to coerce the city of Phenian, and then although the Apuro Empire did not succeed, the alien races that entered the country were extremely arrogant and repelled the army of the Apuro Empire and forcibly occupied the city of Phenian.
Either a wolf or a tiger is not a good thing for the Republic of Yaman.
So it is not surprising that the atmosphere in the city is tense now, and it is estimated that the council speaker Andreev is anxious.
Murphy glanced at Kellin, except for Solomon, among the three, he was careful, Chebman was a big old man, naturally he couldn't hear anything, but he could hear that Kelholin's words had a little different emotion, and he seemed to be a little disapproving that the three of Solomon were going to see Andrew.
"Well, as I said, I'm a businessman. Solomon laughed, "Since the Republic of Yaman is under threat, maybe it needs help." ”
"That, Andreev. Khorin said slowly, "It's not a good thing. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't help but look sideways, including Kehorin's partners, who got together back then. The Blood Griffin Mercenary Team was established, and they were born and died together for many years, but they didn't know much about the events of Khorin's early years, because everyone was a person with experience, and they were together with each other, and they could say what they could. If you can't say it, you won't say it, and there is no need for others to ask.
Kehorin's words made everyone realize that perhaps his captain had some kind of relationship with the speaker of the Yaman Republic.
Solomon also glanced at Kehorin with a slight surprise, but seeing that his lips were tightly closed, after making this comment, he did not seem to want to say any more, so he smiled and did not ask.
The crowd walked along the street. Walk towards the Castle Lord's Mansion in Ruofulan.
When he could already see the City Lord's Mansion, Ke Helin suddenly stopped, sighed and said, "Inside, I won't go in, I'll wait for you here." ”
Solomon was about to answer when suddenly there was a noise from the back of the street, and someone shouted to give way.
Solomon stepped back a little, and saw the number of horsemen go away. The rampaging clear road came, and the pedestrians dodged one after another.
The number of rides was followed by a carriage. The carriage was followed by several horses, and the knights were extremely skilled and arrogant.
The group rushed through the streets in a whirlwind until they reached the city lord's mansion, and only then did they come after them, as if angry and annoyed, when they drove past Solomon and the others. Immediately a conversation came.
"These aliens are really arrogant!"
"Bear with me. ”
Everyone couldn't help but move, and the carriage and guards that rushed over earlier turned out to be the alien who had just taken over Phinean, that is, the messenger of the Kingdom of Aurora that Solomon had told them.
Solomon stopped, and saw the door of the carriage before him open. Out of it came a valiant and beautiful woman, dressed in armor, but without a helmet.
Her legs were long and thin, tall and powerful, and as soon as she stepped out of the carriage, a terrifying aura came from her.
This breath faintly leaked out from the door of the City Lord's Mansion, so that the blood griffin mercenaries who were far away couldn't help but feel it, and immediately felt it, and couldn't help but want to fight, but in their spirits, it was like facing a behemoth.
Of course, this was deliberately done by the Valkyrie, and although the mental coercion was not completely released, it was also kept at a just right point, and the purpose was of course to give Andreev a full opening as soon as he came.
She looked left and right, as if looking for something, but frowned slightly, and finally let go, and stepped into the long legs.
Solomon narrowed her eyes, Leona should have noticed that someone was watching her just now, but she should have only sensed the reaction of Khorin and a few others.
"It seems like I'm a step too late. Solomon sighed.
Khorin frowned when he saw Leona walk in, and he didn't let go.
Solomon shook his head and said, "After this Aurora messenger enters, Andreev should not see anyone like me again, and it seems that I don't need to see him again." However, since I have come to this city, you should guide me around. ”
The people of the Blood Griffons reacted and began to do their duty, leading the three Solomon along the street to continue their visit.
As Solomon walked, his spirit began to spread, touching the plants around him, and then extending his spiritual tentacles into the city lord's mansion.
In Ruofulan's city lord's mansion, Andreev was facing the extremely beautiful, but also extremely arrogant female general opposite.
"Mr. Andreev, you have no choice, if it weren't for our sudden appearance, the Apuro Empire has already captured the city of Phinean, and they will continue to attack in the next step until the entire Yaman Republic is annexed. Leona said in the lingua franca of Falmalik, who was not very proficient.
The lingua franca of this plane, although somewhat different from the lingua franca of Keos, is quite quick to learn.
Leon only barely mastered it, but it was enough to express the meaning, and it didn't matter if it seemed stiff, anyway, the image she had to play was to be a little more brutal.
"Therefore, our offer is not excessive at all, and the city of Fenian is already in our possession, and if you do not agree to our terms, we will attack you first. Leona said coldly: "If you agree to our conditions, then we can become allies, and we will resist the invasion of the Apuro Empire for you." ”
Andreev clenched his fists, but for the time being he could not say anything to refuse.
Because since facing the invasion of the Apuro Empire, he has not responded to other reinforcements, and the Binfu Kingdom has also rejected him.
"But if I promise you these conditions, I will be removed from the Speaker's position!" he roared in a low voice.
"If you don't say yes. Will you be able to keep the position of Speaker?" said Leona contemptuously, "on the contrary, if you agree, we can still help you, and those who dare to oppose you, we can help you deal with them." ”
Andreev hesitated. If Leona agrees to those demands, his reputation will be very bad in the Yaman Republic, but if he does not agree, the woman in front of him will most likely start a war directly.
He didn't expect that the envoy of the Aurora Kingdom who came would be the commander of the alien race, if it was just an envoy, he could still delay time, pretend to negotiate, and wait for a possible turnaround.
Although the Binfu Kingdom rejected him, he still had a few tricks to deal with. The first is to continue to surrender to the Matthew Church, if the Matthew Church believes in his sincerity, then it may be able to prevent the invasion of the Apuro Empire, and even let the Apuro Empire form an alliance with Yaman to resist the invading aliens.
Apuro is militarily strong, and the Yaman Republic is rich, and when united, the threat to the aliens is multiplied.
If this road doesn't work. He also had a trick, which was that he had already sent an envoy to North Falmalik. Persuaded the country there to send troops to help him resist the invasion.
However, the distance is long, and it is still unknown whether the countries of North Falmalik will agree, so there must be time.
But Leona was so bold that she came in person, and she broke Andreev's procrastination at once, whether it works or not, and the fate of the Yaman Republic will be decided in a short time when they meet each other.
Of course. Andreev also has a choice, which is to take down the Valkyrie in front of him, and then use her as a hostage to let the Aurora Kingdom throw a rat bogey, which can also buy time.
But Leona's personal arrival was too sudden, and there were no legendary-level powerhouses in the Yaman Republic now. Only two generals were quasi-legendary warriors.
Andreev is also ready to use the heavy gift to hire a legendary powerhouse, hoping to resist the Epro Empire, but the person who went to invite him before leaving has not yet returned.
Now in this situation, Andreev has a slight remorse for the past, when the Yaman Republic was founded, there was once a legendary powerhouse, and that was the city lord of Bofeng City.
The prestige of the city lord overshadowed him as the speaker, which made him very jealous, and he was always worried that his position as speaker would be replaced by that person.
So later, when the Apuro Empire invaded and attacked Bofeng City, he actually hoped that person and the Apuro Empire would fight and lose.
In the end, the main enemy of Bofeng City was two generals of the Apuro Empire, and one of them was severely damaged, but he himself was also killed in battle, and Bofeng City also fell.
Andreev received reinforcements on the terms he later agreed to the Kingdom of Binbook, and the attitude of the Matthew Church caused the Apuro Empire to stop attacking.
In this way, his position as Speaker was secured.
"Well, I promise you, but you remember your promise, my position as Speaker is unshakable!" Andreev's face was bruised.
Solomon retracted his connection to the plant, and as he expected, the Kingdom of Aurora succeeded in forcing the Kingdom of Yaman. Of course, this may also be Andreev's temporary plan, pretending to give in and let the aliens resist the Aprolo Empire, and if one side is not supported, it is not surprising that he will see the wind turn the rudder.
But Leona has already achieved its goal of making the Yaman Republic into this state, although the combat power of the Yaman Republic is not good, but if there are enemies on the left and right, it is not a good thing for the Aurora Kingdom.
On the contrary, as it is now, the Yaman Republic is temporarily subjugated, whether it is true or false, but first of all, they nominally recognize that the city of Phinean belongs to the Kingdom of Aurora, and many of these names are also beneficial to the rule, at least there is a legal basis, and it is used to announce it to those aborigines, and it will be easier for them to accept their fate honestly.
Not to mention that they can trade with the Yaman Republic and develop resources through them, which will also attract more merchants and forces in the Aurora Kingdom to come, making this new colony more valuable.
All that remains is to use force to give the Apuro Empire a clear understanding, and the Aurora people have taken root here. (To be continued......)
