"His Royal Highness himself said that it is three thousand purple dragon knights, not three thousand miscellaneous troops, and the cavalry that can be compared with the purple dragon knights, I am afraid that there are not a few in the entire Faerun." Karadenay said with a smile, "Although this conqueror army is known as a large army, it is essentially an army of immigrants, and the first two major battles were dominated by those elite warbands, and ordinary soldiers fought auxiliary.

But with such a large number of enemies, once the elite is separated from the main body and pinned down, it is easy to cause a large number of casualties among ordinary immigrants, which is estimated to be the last thing the leader of this army wants.

Their Great Goblin Legion on the Giant Plain is a formidable army, but they will never dare to let them break out of the Giant Plain and attack the human legions on the Dragon Coast unless they have to, because doing so will attract the wrath of the public and make them bear the reputation of colluding with the monster tribe to attack the human tribe.

Therefore, this war is very difficult to fight, and from the very beginning, it was a bargaining chip at the negotiating table. ”

Karadenai worshipped Von Gedahast as a teacher, but she did not come to the door on her own initiative, but after she single-handedly swept away an orc raid force from Thundering Peak, she attracted the attention of the court archmage, and what impressed him the most was that this warlock was powerful but could live in obscurity.

Before officially accepting her as an apprentice, she had already rejected the invitation of the knights secretly arranged by Von Gedahast several times, and several times through secret contact through changing identities, the court archmage found that this girl not only had a strong bloodline, but also received the most orthodox aristocratic education, whether it was economic, military and other aspects, she had her own uniqueness.

The lover Von Gedahast couldn't bear it any longer, and took the initiative to reveal his identity in front of her, and asked to accept her as his apprentice.

The archmage of the court still has a bit of a reputation, this time Karadnay did not refuse again, and she did not disappoint Von Gedahast, all aspects are above the horizontal line, especially under her own systematic cultivation, the growth rate is even more amazing.

Von Gedahast had a secret hidden in his heart that he had not told anyone, and he was going to train this young female disciple in the direction of his successor, and it was with this intention that he took the opportunity to arrange her by Yalusel's side.

Von Gedahast smiled and said: "This is a good thing for us, it will be much easier for us to facilitate peace talks, and when you enter Ivanaso, you must follow me closely and do not act without permission." ”

In the last sentence, the archmage of the court mainly told Yalusayr that Karadenai has a steady temperament and will not do anything too reckless.

"You know, I'm not a child, I won't be so light and heavy." Yalusel muttered dissatisfied, but she herself was not particularly confident, because many times, once she was in the mood, she would leave everything behind.

"Then raise the flag." With a wave of his hand, a huge magical banner appeared above his head, and a purple dragon roared vividly.

In ancient times, there was indeed a purple dragon named Sagro, but the Cormier Kingdom was called the Purple Dragon Empire, and it had nothing to do with this dragon, at least not the so-called blood relationship.

Just because their knights like to wear purple armor, from a distance, they look like a huge purple dragon, and they are named the Purple Dragon Legion.

Later scholars have also derived the meaning that they will replace the ancient dragon Sagro and continue to dominate the northern shore of the Barrannosaurus Lake.

With this as a banner, in the whole of Faerun, there is only one kingdom of Cormier, and there is no other semicolon.

As soon as the flag was raised on Vongedahast's side, both the Dragon Coast Coalition and Ivanthor's army of conquerors reacted.

The latter's reaction was undoubtedly superior, and it only took a few minutes to see a burst of magic fluctuations flickering, and a cavalry wearing red heavy armor appeared hundreds of meters away from Von Gedahast and his party, the number was not much, only fifty horsemen, but the strength was all one by one, and it was more than enough to pull out one at random, and put it in the Purple Dragon Legion as a middle and high-level commander.

"Long-distance, large-scale troop transmission."

The three of them couldn't help but stare at each other, they were not close to Ivanaso, nearly a kilometer.

There are more than fifty heavy cavalry, even men and horses are not a small number, even if Feng Gedahast personally takes action, he can't teleport five horsemen with advanced teleportation techniques.

The Nine Rings Teleportation Circle can teleport on a large scale, but the casting process is long, and in the few minutes they show their banner, it is not enough to prepare this spell.

They all have very high military literacy, and they know very well the value of this kind of spell that can quickly mobilize troops on the battlefield, and it is easy to catch the enemy off guard, especially the coalition army outside the city where countless forces are mixed together, as long as the tactics are used well, just the fifty cavalry in front of them is enough to stir up the situation.

In this way, Karadena's previous judgment was a little too arbitrary, but she did not have time to discuss it again with her companions, who were close at hand under the leadership of the two commanders.

The two commanders are a man and a woman, the man looks much younger than them, but his body exudes the air of a mature man, and his face is not the kind that makes people stunned at a glance, but the more he looks at it, the more he likes it, and it is difficult to feel disgusted.

At first glance, he was the one who was in the intelligence, and he was the culprit of the whole thing, Gavin Nott, the initiator of the army of conquerors.

The woman beside him, dressed in blood-red sealed armor, wrapped herself in airtight airtightness, the reason why it can be seen that it is a woman is because the armor on her body is tailor-made, with a concave and convex shape, especially the size of the chest can be called majestic, and the cuirass has to be forged by a special process to support it.

This unique shape is a status symbol, and Ms. Catherine, the first elector of Ms. Strategy, has never removed her armor since she became the body of the Sage of Ms. Strategy, allowing people to see her true face now, it is said that when she was possessed by Ms. Strategy, she once made a sacred vow that as long as Ms. Strategy's true face is not shown in front of the world, she will no longer show her true face for a day.

"Your Excellency, after half a year, you are still in the same spirit as last time." Gavin bowed first.

He was not surprised to see Von Gedahast here, there was a lot of mistrust between the army of the conquerors and the alliance of the Dragon Coast, and if a truce was to be made, there must be outside forces to intervene.

There is only one person around who can play this role, and that is the Cormier Kingdom, as the king, Yasan IV can't leave the royal capital lightly, so he can only send a court archmage with high enough prestige and strong strength.

But the two people who followed him were a bit unexpected, although their faces were still a little immature, but he matched the information as soon as possible.

Because these two ten years later, they have a significant role in the Cormier Kingdom.

One is the regent with the reputation of the Iron Princess, and the other is the new court mage of the Cormier kingdom who succeeded Von Gedahast as the position.

Von Gedahast laughed and said: "I really haven't changed at all, Xiaoyou's change is a bit unexpected, last time I felt that Xiaoyou is not an ordinary person, I didn't expect it to be so unusual." ”

"The archmage has a good reputation, I am just a blind toss, and I have achieved a little insignificant achievement, let me introduce it to you." Gavin pointed to Catherine beside him and said, "This is the Lady of Strategy's Chosen Elect, the Lord of the Strategic Battle Fortress, and the First Lord Knight of the Crimson Banner, Mrs. Catherine Yantindo and Lady Bloodhawk, and this is Mr. Von Gedahast, the court archmage from the Cormir Kingdom. ”

Von Gedahast was the first to speak: "The name of Lady Jiuwen, this time I came with the entrustment of His Majesty, this is Princess Yaluselle, she will be the first batch of students to study at your Yinhong War Academy, as a support for Madame, our Cormier Kingdom students, in addition to paying the tuition fees normally, will donate 100,000 gold coins to the Yinhong War Academy every year. ”

"Please also ask the Archmage to thank Your Majesty for your generosity on my behalf." Catherine showed a hint of joy appropriately, she would never be too much for such gratuitous assistance.

But compared with Gavin's previous donations, the Cormier Kingdom is obviously small, and for the Cormier Kingdom, the annual donation of 100,000 yuan is obviously just a meaning, but it is not a great help, which also sets off Gavin's sincerity.

"This is not the place to talk, let's talk about something when we go back to the city." Gavin gestured to the court archmage and his party.

"Okay." Von Gedahast is as good as a stream.

Because the Dragon Coast Coalition also sent out to meet the cavalry, the things they want to discuss cannot be decided in a few words.

With a wave of his hand, Gavin surged up fifty red falcon knights, guarding them in the middle, and walked towards Ivan Suo with great force, without using the previous collective teleportation at all.

It's not that they can't be used, but it's intentional, it wasn't Catherine's who sent them out to arrange the troops before, but Zalanda's, and she is now in Avanshor, Catherine's is still reserved to deal with emergencies.

Wherever the Red Falcon Knights passed, the armies of the Dragon Coast Coalition had to retreat like a tide.

It is not because of their great strength but their unique identity, this is the direct army of the goddess of strategy, if there is no reasonable reason, take the initiative to attack them, it is tantamount to declaring war with the lady of strategy, and with all her followers.

Not to mention that they didn't have the intention of starting an all-out war with the conqueror's army, and even if they did, they wouldn't dare to rashly involve a quasi-god in it.

Gavin and the others calculated this and sent the Red Falcon Knights out to greet them, not the other extraordinary warbands.

Along the way, Von Gedahast was still a little restrained, and only used his eyes to look at the situation of the coalition army of the Dragon Bay and the army of the conquerors, and assessed their strength.

Alousel and Caradenac were blatant, and they even kept whispering, although they were only new acquaintances, they were very compatible and could find a lot of common language.

As they delved deeper into the army of the Conquerors, they discovered that they underestimated the strength of the army of the Conquerors and the extent of the chaos of the Dragon Bay Alliance.

Dealing with a heavy cavalry of less than 100 men, they are still so undisciplined, and if they are a large-scale raid, they themselves will not become a pot of gruel?

And now that the conqueror army has the advantage of city defense, they only need to hold out for a while, and this coalition army will have to collapse on its own.

In terms of material preparations, the conqueror's army was far superior to the improvised coalition forces, although they had a steady stream of aid from the major cities.

But if they were the commanders, they would definitely send a small number of elite cavalry out to harass, destroy, and plunder their supply lines.

What they could think of, it was impossible for the believers of the Scheming Lady to think of it.

The purpose of assessing combat effectiveness and victory or defeat is naturally to prepare for the next negotiations, and whoever has strong military strength and a greater chance of winning will naturally have more advantages and can offer a higher price.

"Is this the hand of the necromancer Ames?" The archmage of the court stood in front of Ivensor's city council, his brow furrowed.

He could see at a glance that this place was unusual, it was clearly connected to the Shadow Plane, and it was a direct passage there.

"Yes." Gavin nodded and explained, "Archmage, rest assured, we have already dealt with the problems here, and we will never let those ghosts enter the material plane through this place, and this place is used as an office location temporarily, and this place will definitely be used for other purposes in the future." ”

There is no reason to spit out the meat in your mouth, and the Evanoso City Council has become a sub-territory of the Vizeme Manor, and naturally it is impossible and will not be returned.

"You know the peculiarity of this place." Von Gedahast wisely stopped meddling.

After everyone entered the city council hall and sat down, the palace archmage directly said straight to the point: "I believe that I don't need to explain any more about my intentions, I just want to know Xiaoyou, what are your plans?" Is it war or peace? ”

"It's not a question of whether we want to fight or make peace." Gavin indignantly accused, "We are kind enough to help the people of the Dragon Coast eradicate evil, these brother cities not only do not appreciate it, but as soon as they turn around, they organize a coalition to surround us, and the archmage asks us whether we are fighting or peace, and it seems that he is asking the wrong person." ”

This cunning little fox, if you get cheap, you will be good at it, you will conquer the city on other people's territory, and you will think that others have surrounded you, and it is cheap if you don't directly attack the city.

Von Gedahast laughed and scolded in his heart, but his face was kind and said: "I know the grievances in your heart, this is the main purpose of my trip, to find an acceptable balance for both sides, if you have any requirements and opinions, I will go to those city lords on the Dragon Coast to negotiate, after all, once a war starts, both sides may be bloody." ”

"Let's get out of Ivanaor." Gavin's unceremonious lion opened his mouth and said, "One, their army will withdraw fifty kilometers, and I will ensure the safety of my army.

Second, it was fitting that Evanthor must be handed over to Lady Yesandala and the rebels she leads, who had been fighting for the just cause of Ivanthor's liberation.

Third, they want to ensure the safety of our legitimate properties in all the cities of the Dragon Coast, and not retaliate against them after we leave.

Fourth, they must promise not to destroy the Conqueror's Path we have established, not to retaliate against the normal caravans we pass through, and to recognize Bloodgisthm's ownership of the Giant's Plain, and that Bloodgits have the right to fight back once they attack it.

Fifth, those who have volunteered to join us on the Dragon's Coast, they cannot stop them.

Sixth, they are to prepare 10,000,000 gold coins as compensation for the war, after all, we have helped them eradicate a huge security hazard on the Dragon Coast. ”

At first, the court archmage nodded slightly when he heard it, such a request couldn't be more reasonable, and when he heard the last two, even he couldn't help but look sideways.

This is not a lion's big mouth, this is a dragon's big mouth, not only for money but also for people, ready to directly peel off a layer of skin in Dragon Bay.

"Are there any other conditions?" Von Gedahast asked, he was just a lobbyist, a mediator, and it was not his turn to point out the terms put forward by the other party.

"That's all for now." Gavin swore and promised, "As long as they meet our six conditions, within three days, we will leave Evantor and hand it over to Lady Yesandara to rule, by the way, they must promise that as long as Lady Yesandara does not take the initiative to provoke war, they will not use troops against this place, and in case of violation, our Great Goblin Legion of Bloodgap City has the right to enter this place to help defend it." ”

"I'll try to make it happen." The court archmage replied vaguely, and he suddenly felt that he had a long way to go.

He found it difficult for him to accept such conditions, let alone the City Lords of Dragon Bay who were the parties involved.

Von Geda Hastere was resolute, and after listening to Gavin's opinion on the front foot, he appeared in the camp of the coalition commander on the back foot, where a bunch of city lords and mayors had already gathered, just waiting for his news, and after listening to the request he brought back, these city lords and mayors directly guarded his face and quarreled.

"Robbery, this is a naked robbery, they attacked Ivanosor spontaneously, and it was not our hiring request, why are they asking us for money? And this asking price is really outrageous, 10 million, why didn't he grab it? No, even if it's a robbery, it's impossible to be so fast, it's impossible, you can't do it, we will definitely not pay this amount. ”

"Blood Gorge City is now completely managed by a group of big goblins, when will the monster city be able to enjoy the territorial rights of intelligent life? Isn't that a mess? ”

"We are not allowed to use troops on the Giant Plains, that is an even more ridiculous request, monster tribes breed here quickly, if we don't clean up regularly, there will soon be monster tribes to attack our city, we can't agree to this request."

"Avansor is the city of our Dragon Coast, and the appointment of the mayor is our own business, so why should he be appointed by an outsider? You can't take the initiative to attack them yet, what kind of hegemonic clause is this? Absolutely cannot agree. ”
