"First of all, Mr. Aglavin, thank you and the Asturians for helping us during this time, if it weren't for the weapons you provided, Bofeng City would not have been able to resist the Imperial army until now. Khorin said sincerely.

Khorin's face was still brown, and there was even a visible scar on his forehead, which was the result of a fierce battle with Sid a few days ago.

After the Imperial siege failed again, Bofeng City was finally able to breathe, but the crisis caused by the lack of ammunition was not resolved.

The Apuro Empire did not know that Kehorin was already short of ammunition, their own casualties were too great, their morale was severely damaged, and even the strong men in the army had casualties, so they had to suspend the offensive, while gathering nearby garrisons to continue the siege, and on the other hand, they asked for help from the center of the imperial capital.

If it weren't for the continuous setbacks and heavy casualties, Sid realized that he could no longer conquer Bofeng City with his own legion, and he would never want to ask for help from the imperial capital.

Because asking for help means that he fails, even if the empire captures Bofeng City later, it will not be able to wash away his shame.

But Sid is not a fool, and the strange situation in Bofeng City makes him have to call for help.

Bofeng City, which was supposed to be vulnerable, obtained some strange weapons in a short period of time, which could cause such heavy casualties to his legions, and Sid suspected that someone was behind them.

Aliens, Xi people, Binfu Kingdom, Yaman Republic, Northern Falmalik?

In terms of motives, it is possible, but judging from the few muskets that have been captured, this thing is not like that of the Falmalik continent, and it is so powerful, it is more like a foreign thing, if it is the Xi tribe or the Binfu Kingdom, but it is impossible to have muskets. With this kind of weapon, they could have challenged the Epuro Empire on their own, and they didn't need to fund Bofeng City.

It seems that only unfamiliar aliens are likely to bring such new things, but if this is the case, then the Apuro Empire must be careful about the upcoming war of national fortune with the aliens.

Although Sid values his honor, he already believes that he cannot capture Bofeng City alone. It may also be related to the military strength of the aliens, so he had no choice but to report the battle situation to the center of the empire and ask for help.

Therefore, Bofeng City can only breathe a sigh of relief in the past few days, but Kehorin and the others do not know Sid's plans, and can only be wary of the Imperial Army's attack that may start again at any time.

At the same time, Khorin had no choice but to ask Solomon for help again, first, because of the ammunition crisis, and secondly, if Sid took a siege instead of a fierce attack, the Imperial army would certainly face food pressure, but the city of Bofeng would not be the same.

Besieged by a large army. The young and strong forces in the city could not go out of the city to work, and could only rely on the support of the grain reserves prepared before, but if the imperial army improved the attack to the siege, no matter how much food in the city could not support it, and Sid's legion as long as it had the support of the empire, it would always take the initiative outside the city and could get food replenishment.

However, there is no endless road, and the imperial army could not imagine that there are aliens in Bofeng City who can help. And bringing supplies from the Other-Plane will not only allow Khorin to support them for a longer time. Or even fight back.

But whether it is defense or counterattack, the first thing to solve is the ammunition crisis, and the food can be supported for a while.

"Mr. Aglavin, we hope to continue to receive your help and support, such as providing us with enough ammunition. Khorin gritted his teeth.

"Khorin, everyone's previous deal. We're done. To be honest, the concession we deserve is only temporary, and what we really deserve has not been obtained, and I have fully fulfilled the other part of the contract, otherwise you would not be able to support it until now. If new assistance is needed now. So what can you come up with?" laughed Solomon.

Khorin chuckled, touched the wound slightly, and grinned, thinking about how to convince Solomon.

The situation in front of him now is that he must get new support from the aliens, otherwise if the Imperial army attacks the city again, the militia in the city will be greatly reduced due to the lack of ammunition, and it is impossible to defend only the blood griffins who have been wounded in battle with Sid and his men, and must give full play to the power of the city's human resources combined with new weapons.

But Solomon could not give him aid in vain, and he was unwilling to sell the interests of Bofeng City excessively. If it weren't for the danger of Bofeng City, he would not have accepted Solomon's deal, because he vaguely felt like he was "leading the way" for the aliens.

But now he has almost no other choice, in the current predicament and time, the only people who are most likely to help Bofeng City are these aliens, but what conditions and benefits should be given to impress the other party, and without highlighting his own bottom limit, Kehorin himself can't grasp it.

He took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Aglavin, that's what I think. Although we have already made a deal before, you helped us, and you also got some of the things you wanted, but if we fail, in fact, the concession you get will not be saved, because the Apuro Empire will not recognize it. Only when Bofeng City is controlled by us will the concession really exist. So I don't think you're going to give up on helping us, and of course, I didn't mean to blackmail you with that. I mean, instead of me talking about the conditions, use your wisdom to come up with a deal that will really help us, but will not be rejected by me. ”

Kelholin tossed the ball back to Solomon, who couldn't help but smile, Kelholin was truly the son of the plane he suspected.

But even if Khorin had said this, Solomon had already figured out how to answer.

"Okay, I still give you two choices, one is that you can still choose the first path proposed before, and the second option is that you still only accept our material help, then we can still only do business, I can first tell you some help I can provide, and what I hope to get from you, as for whether you are willing to pay or not, you can choose for yourself. ”

"I'm still going to choose the second path, I believe that with your help in supplies, we can repel the Imperial Army on our own. Khorin said in a deep voice.

"Well, that's still the second condition, and I'll tell you what kind of situation you might face in the future, and what kind of help we can provide to you, and these different kinds of help. What kind of conditions will you pay. Solomon said.

"The Imperial Army has not attacked again, but is only besieging, it is likely that they have already asked for help from the Apuro Empire, but you don't have to worry too much, according to my estimate, the war between the Apuro Empire and the Aurora is about to begin. It is impossible for them to change the deployment of the battle for the sake of Bofeng City, and it is impossible to delay too much time to destroy you first and then fight the Aurora, because even if they want, the Aurora people will not wait, and when the contradictions within the Aurora people are temporarily reconciled and invaded together, the Apuro Empire will have no choice but to fight, so you must hold out until then. Bofeng City will be out of danger for the time being. Solomon said.

"Until then, the Imperial legion outside the city may fall until it is ordered to besiege you, and if the Imperial side is under pressure from the Aurora, there will not be too many troops to come and join them in the encirclement, but even so, if it continues, you will not be able to farm, and you will not be able to harvest. There is no way to support it for more than a year. Of course, you can buy food from us. As long as there are portals, you can pay what we need, and countless supplies will be available to you, but the question is how much you can pay, and you are still stingy to pay. ”

"Well, now I can help you guys. And the price you need to agree to. Since you still don't want outsiders to intervene directly, we can continue to provide you with weapons and ammunition, and I can find someone else to disrupt the Imperial Army's food transportation to the legion outside the city, so many of them will consume a lot of food even if they are only besieged. The people of Bofeng City can't harvest, and they can't harvest anything, so they can only transport it from other places. Under normal circumstances, with the support of the Empire, they will be consumed like this, and you will be finished, but in addition to selling food to you to support you for a longer time, I can also find a strange army to constantly rob and transport military rations to them, so that they will face the same food problem as you, and they can only retreat if they can't support it. ”

Solomon paused for a moment and continued: "As for what I want, some of the conditions of the first road can satisfy me, any part of it, give me a larger concession, or change the joint court to preside over the trial for us, and you will observe, or the law will be based on the laws of the Asturias, or better trade treatment, the right to build roads to other cities, mining rights, etc., we will accept them." If that's bothering you, that's okay with us. ”

"What else?" said a glimmer of hope in Khorin's eyes.

"It's okay. We can promise to pay you in advance for the supplies that you will definitely get out of this crisis, and even the mobilization of the strange soldier I just mentioned to help you cut off the food transportation of the Imperial army, these can be paid in advance, we Asturias have always been very generous and trust our friends. And you only need to agree to plant a large area of a plant in Bofeng City after independence, and trade with us with this plant, and we just mentioned the materials and strange soldiers paid in advance, and everyone can agree to trade the amount of this plant for you to offset as a reward for us. ”

"Planting a plant?deal, you mean, in exchange we have to grow this plant in large quantities, and it's a trade, I mean you pay money when you give you this plant?"

"Yes. You don't have to worry about what conspiracy I have, I have no ill will towards Bofeng City, it's just that you don't want to consider too many conditions, I can only do this. I can explain to you that this plant is called rosemary, and there are some special substances that can be extracted from alchemy, and this kind of extract has something to do with many of our commodities, and it needs to be extracted from rosemary. So if you can grow rosemary for us after independence, and then we can buy it, of course, we can agree on a reasonable price in advance. You don't have to worry about growing a lot of rosemary that will affect your survival, because if you don't have enough food because of growing this kind of thing, you can also exchange our currency, and then we will buy food for you. ”

After hearing this, Kehorin felt that he seemed to have received a reasonable explanation, which seemed to be the best choice for Bofeng City.

Solomon stood up, patted him on the shoulder, and said softly, "You think about it, and if you agree, you can always ask me to sign a magic contract." (To be continued......)
