The appearance of the elves caused a small wave in the camp, and finally calmed down.

After all, she was brought back by Hardy.

And Hardy's prestige in the military is extremely high.

Not to mention bringing the elves back, even if they found out that Hardy was having an affair with Sissi-Jeanne, they would not find anything strange, but would try their best to hide it.

After all, in the eyes of almost all the soldiers, Madame Jeanne and Hadi were right.

As for Madame Jeanne's archbishop husband, who didn't know what to do, they didn't agree.

After setting the elves in place, Hardy sat down and began to take care of military affairs.

It wasn't long before the heralds of New York City came down from the city walls in hanging baskets and came to Hardy to ask for an audience.

Hadi received him in his tent.

"Please use tea." Hardy was drinking tea, and when he saw a guest coming, he naturally had to serve a drink.

"Ah...... Thank you. The messenger was a little flattered, bent down slightly to take the tea, took a sip, and said with a smile: "It's really delicious." ”

This is the tea that Philaeel stuffed to Hardy not long ago, and it tastes really good.

"Your Excellency Hardy, this time I brought the Senate's directive." The messenger put down the cup in his hand and said, "They want you to retreat the army five kilometers, let go of the city gates, and go to the senate to prove your innocence in front of all the senators, and show that you did not kill Blanche." ”

Hardy smiled: "Do you think it's possible?" ”

"Of course, this is a superficial instruction." The messenger continued, "You can find a few stand-ins to solve this matter, we're just going through the motions." And Arianna Rommel wants to talk to you personally. ”

The same same person was the same last time as the messenger, and Hardy gave him a gold coin and told him to hand over the note from Kamath Rommel to the Rommel family, which he did.

"Where will we meet?"

The messenger subconsciously lowered his voice and said, "What Your Excellency Rommel means is that in order to show his sincerity, he is willing to come to visit Your Excellency in person, provided that your army opens a city gate, otherwise he will not be able to get out." ”

"It's easy to do. I'll get Simon's army back in a moment. Hardy nodded.

They can talk about it if they want to, it doesn't matter how they talk about it, anyway, Hardy just wants to drag out time.

He blocked New York, also to stall time.

As for the siege...... Impossible.

In such a large city, at least two or three thousand defenders, Hadi has about five thousand people, and he can't beat it.

The messenger finished his sentence and left happily.

Soon, Franci's army on the west side of New Yorktown retreated a kilometer.

But even so, the city gates did not dare to open at will.

In the evening, the gates were finally raised, and when the two men and two horses had come out, they were quickly shut.

The two men and two horses soon came outside the tent and were then led in by the soldiers.

Hadi sat in the tent, looked at the two middle-aged men in front of him, and asked aloud: "I'm Hadi, the lord of Hukaro, may I ask the two big names." ”

"Arianna Rommel." The older middle-aged man nodded lightly.

"Turkry-Teuton." The younger man laughed.

"You may be seated."

Hardy sat them down on the carpet and poured them another cup of tea.

Although the two were surprised by the taste of tea, they also behaved calmly.

After taking two or three sips, Ariana said, "Your Excellency Hardy, we came here this time to talk to you. ”

"What to talk about, how to talk about it?" Hardy asked bluntly.

"Your Excellency seems to have a lot of opinions about our Senate." Turkry Teutonic looked at Hardy and said helplessly, "The Senate is just letting Your Excellency prove to yourself, and has no intention of harming Your Excellency. ”

Hadi shook his head and said, "I came here with an army of five thousand, and you naturally won't, and you won't dare to harm me at will." If I really only came with a few guards, you'd probably have that kind of mind. ”

"No, no, we still have to be faced." Turkry Teutonic waved his hand vigorously.

Hardy smiled, noncommittal.

Face is something that others give you to have, but if you don't give it to you, that's it!

"Is Lord Hardy really unwilling to prove himself?" Turkry Teuton said, "The messenger should have said that it was just a formality, and that it could be used as a stand-in, and it would definitely not cause you harm or danger." ”

Hardy smiled: "Self-proof? Cutscenes? Whether we are stand-ins or not, as long as we prove ourselves, it means that we are guilty. Madame Jeanne and I are indeed fine, but Francy's reputation is over, and the reputation of Jeanne's family will be ruined. ”

Originally, the two of them wanted to deceive Hardy when they saw him so young, but they were directly exposed, and they immediately felt embarrassed.

"Come back, two." Hardy waved his hand.

"Your Excellency, we are here with sincerity, please don't be impulsive." Ariana Rommel said urgently.

Hadi waved his hand and said, "I can't see sincerity, and I also harbor evil intentions." Please go back, or don't go back. ”

Looking at Hardy, who was already angry, the two had to leave in a sneer.

After the two left, Hardy smiled strangely.

After the two returned, Franci's army blocked the West Gate again.

Hardy continued to attend to the military affairs, during which Lady Sissi also came over, and after a while, she left again.

I have to say that the radiant Mrs. Sissi is charming and cute.

It was late at night, and a man and a horse came out of the West Gate, and Franci's army turned a blind eye to it.

Soon the man was at Francie's tent and met Hardy.

"Tea, please, Your Excellency Rommel." Hardy put another cup of tea in front of the other party and smiled: "During the day, please cooperate with me to act." ”

"It's okay, it's okay, if it weren't for the fact that Trick Teutonic guy was there, why bother." Arianna shook her head and smiled, "Then we can get down to business." ”

Hardy nodded.

"Your Excellency should know that in our Ajcca Empire, the Senate holds all the power, but there are too many people in the Senate, which makes it difficult to implement many decrees."

Hearing this, Hardy raised his eyebrows.

He vaguely guessed what the other party was trying to say.

Really!

Ariana continued: "I envy such powerful countries as Francis and Caldor, and I also hope that Ajcca can have such a strong royal family, instead of a group of flies sitting on it, arguing with each other, wasting time and energy. I want to make Agaka an empire in the truest sense of the word. ”

Hardy looked at Arianna, tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and then asked, "There will be a lot of senators, how many families do you have to kill to do it?" ”

"Although there are many people, they are essentially subdivided, that is, eleven families, children and grandchildren, cousins, and eleven families divide almost all the patriarchal seats. I want to kill a group and exile a group. ”

Ariana Rommel stared into Hardy's eyes, his body trembling slightly.

No way, it's a huge gamble.

But it's also the only chance.

Right now...... There were only 2,000 defenders in New York, and the city guards on the west side were their Rommel troops.

The city was undefended for Franci's army for as long as he wanted to.

The air was stagnant, and Hardy looked down and thought for a long time.

Then he looked up and asked, "What do I get for Francie, and what do I get?" ”
