CH.56 The Generous Count of Carridos

What a big stroke!

You must know that the Principality of Bernardo, which is dominated by mountainous terrain in the country, has its own agriculture is not developed, and it is very difficult to accumulate such a large amount of military rations for a war, and a large part of the military rations consumed by Bernardo in this war are purchased from other vassal states in the Jamins Empire.

It was such a hard-earned precious grain that was given to the enemy in this way......

This cannot but make people exclaim -- what a big hand! What a big spirit!

“......”

The Beast King God High Priest obviously didn't expect the other party to come with such a hand, and he didn't know what to say with his mouth half-open.

But no one came forward to warn him or accuse him of his gaffe - because no one else was any better.

Even Feng Kan and Xiu had exactly the same expressions, like a group of carp thrown ashore.

『...... Xiu, what do you want the old man to do?" Feng Kan. (Whisper questions in a voice that others can't hear)

『...... Don't ask me, I haven't seen him since I was thirteen. Repair. (Whispered answer in the same volume)

"Honorable High Priest, I wonder what your answer is?"

The corners of Count Carridos' mouth curled slightly, imperceptibly, and he pressed forward step by step as if he were in pursuit.

It seems that his strategy has been very successful, and suddenly putting on such a battle at this time has the effect of shocking the opponent as expected.

“...... What do you mean, human?"

The Beastmaster (the girl who couldn't tell what race she was looking at) crossed over to the head priest of the fox clan and confronted Count Caridos.

"Your Majesty, the brave beast king, please forgive me for my recklessness, but I am only expressing my sincerity in the most direct way. Is there something offensive to you about this?"

"......" Beastmaster.

Feng Kan is right, this old guy is an out-and-out old loach.

On the surface, this seems to be respectful, but there seems to be a hint of ridicule hidden in these polite words, and the subtext is that the orcs do not have the courage to accept his "sincerity".

To be honest, according to the orc's upright and arrogant character, he is purely looking for a ...... when he talks like this

- Ahh That's why he brought out a dozen Swords of Judgment......

"Huh...... Hehehehehe......"

After being silent for a long time, the old priest of the fox clan suddenly smiled.

“...... It is rare for the Earl to be so generous, and it would be too stingy for us to be so hypocritical. Well, we agreed to the Earl's terms. ”

"Hehehe, it's great that the High Priest is so reasonable, and if we can meet in a different place than the battlefield, I would like to have a good drink with the High Priest. ”

"Hehe, then let me pray that there will be a day in the future. ”

"Ah, I hope so. Then the matter here has been settled, and we will retreat according to each other's agreement. ”

Suddenly, the atmosphere between the Count of Carridos and the High Priest of Vesit became harmonious and loving, as if none of the previous terrible battles between the two sides had taken place.

As if given some code, Bernardo's army began to retreat slowly and slowly, and the dense stream of people retreated like a low tide.

"Legionnaire, my subordinates have something very important to report to you. ”

He was not questioned the whole time. Finally, Shutana Hardy gritted his teeth and led his young dragon knights to the back of Count Caridos, who was about to leave, and bowed respectfully.

"Oh. That's right, I also have a lot of things that you need to answer in detail. So, keep up. ”

Looking at his subordinates who were kneeling on one knee with their heads bowed, Count Caridos said with a smile on his face.

"Yes. ”

After bowing his head again, the dragon knight who led the group bowed his head again, led the young dragon knights to stand up, and then gestured to the dragon waiting beside him. Following Count Carridos and his party towards the retreating Bernardo army (a dozen dragons flew into the sky on their own), only before leaving, he turned around and nodded slightly to Feng Kan and them......

“...... Hey, fix. Do you think you're going to listen to Hardy?"

Although he knew that Shutana Hardy had gone to inform the Count of Calidos of what they had seen in Gadtevac and to persuade them to really stop fighting, Feng Kan could not help but worry about these dragon knights.

"It's hard to say, after all, what he wants to talk about is too unbelievable, if anyone is moved by what he says, then it is really a donkey kicking in the brain. ”

Practicing this is a pessimistic attitude towards this issue.

There is no way to do it, Caridos is a smart man who is good at the test of reason, but the more intelligent people like this, the more they cannot easily believe what Shutana Hardy is going to say.

After all, no matter how you look at the matter of Gadtevaz, there is no logical point in it......

As he spoke, Bernardo's brigade had gradually moved away under the gaze of Santa's coalition forces, and it seemed that Count Carridos's mention was really the real purpose of his coming to negotiate this time.

"Oh, boss, what's next?"

Seeing Bernardo's army grow smaller and smaller and eventually disappear from view, Geralt took the lead in raising the issue that everyone cared about.

"What to do?"

Feng Kan scratched his head and looked at the other side with a wry smile.

The orcs of the Santa Alliance, under the command of the high priest of the fox clan, were receiving the countless carts in an orderly manner, and many orc soldiers stabbed into the sacks one by one with the weapons in their hands, as if to confirm whether there was something unspeakable hidden in the sacks, and many beast king god priests in priest robes were also assisting on the side, from time to time picking up a handful of grain-like things to carefully identify, or putting them under their noses to smell carefully, or twisting a grain and putting it in their mouths to try carefully......

It is a matter of course, and anyone who suddenly receives such an important gift from the enemy must be careful, and if Bernardo plays a "Trojan Horse" or puts some kind of poison in the food, it will be really fun.

The other party was busy and didn't seem to care about their actions, but it wouldn't be a problem if they kept freezing here like this.

Although Feng Kan has the title of "Celestial Prophet" on his head because of Osetin's "calculations", he knows his own affairs best, he is actually not very familiar with the orcs of the Santa Alliance, and he does not know any of the orcs in front of him who are directly under the Beast King.

And they had been hanging out with Bernardo's dragon knights before, so even if they had to come forward to identify themselves now, it wasn't a good time to do so.

At least...... It's time to say hi, right?

With this in mind, Feng Kan decided to make contact with this group of Orcs of the Santa Alliance......

"Your Highness Ralph, how did you get here?"

But before that, the other party took action first.

The strong man of the rhino clan who was standing behind the beast king just now walked over with a puzzled look on his face, and listening to his tone, it seemed that he knew the little prince.

"It's been a long time, Lord Katolov, and it looks like you've not been doing well lately. ”

The little prince replied with a smile.

Eh, an acquaintance?

“...... Ahh

Thinking about it, although Feng Kan didn't know this strong man of the Rhino Clan, Xiu had just introduced that this was Katolov, one of the five Holy Spirit Knights in the Ossetine Cult......

How could the Holy Spirit Knight of the Ossetine Cult not know the little prince of the Fastro family?

"Who are these?"

The rhino clan big man came to everyone and looked at Feng Kan and the others vigilantly, as a first-class warrior, he instinctively felt the extraordinary strength under the simple appearance of these people in front of him.

"Ah, Master Katorov doesn't have to be so nervous, everyone is their own people, and a few of them are ......"

Ralph smiled and briefly introduced to Katorov the situation of Feng Kan and Xiu, Dimandak and Britain, and Geralth, but the most secret things were not said, such as the true identity of Dimandak as the secret guide warlock and the stupid bird in Britain.

As Feng Kan's partner, Geralis and Xiu, who is the inheritor, can say that once such a thing as the Dark Guiding Warlock and the Demon Yan Fire Essence is leaked, it will really not be good, especially the Demon Yan Fire Element, once the affairs of these two guys (Fire Essence and Britannia) are exposed, it will definitely set off a monstrous wave on the Transtak Continent......

In line with the principle that more is better than less, it is better to try to confuse the real situation of these two people.

"Lord Prophet, hehehe, the old man has already heard from them about you. And His Royal Highness Ralph, thank you very much to St. Austan for being able to lend a helping hand to the Santa Alliance at the most critical moment. ”

After the actual round with the Beastmaster Army, everyone was unexpectedly accepted by the other party lightly.

Although they had never met, the High Priest of the Fox Clan had heard a lot about this "Celestial Prophet", and as for the little prince, the Santa Alliance and St. Austin could be said to be in the same relationship, so there was no need to say any more polite words.

"It's just that the old man is very curious, and the one who stayed with you just now seems to be a dragon knight belonging to the Duchy of Bernardo, and I don't know about this matter......"

Sure enough, I guess everyone is curious about this.
