Chapter 235 234. Internal conflicts and external interference have always been two different concepts! [Seeking monthly votes 910]
The battle did not start in the end.
On the one hand, the eldest lady performed quite strongly. At this time, it was the darkness that made her combat power soar, and the supernatural power of the seed of life in her body was manifested in the silver level. The unique power extension of the God of Nature in the world perfectly offset the bonus of the Xike Winged Cavalry in the mountains and forests.
On the other hand, the Blood Eagle vampires came very quickly.
Most of the terrain interference is meaningless to these guys who can fly at supersonic speed at night.
The rescued Thorn Clan also came later, but several unlucky guys under Count Andre were injured, and the loyal servant Vesta was left there to take care of the wounded.
When Count Baishan came over with a sword in hand, the two sides had turned from a tense situation to a not-so-peaceful conversation.
The Blood Eagle members hovered in the air to block the surroundings, and the Winged Cavalry also scattered in the forest to be on guard, leaving the conversation space for the leaders of both sides.
The Earl of Baishan was very decent and knew when to advance and retreat. He did not ask to listen or get close. He just found a good place to sit down and rest under Adele's vigilant gaze and took out his poetry collection to read.
In the middle of the forest where they met, in the valley under dawn, the eldest lady leaned on the Night Howl Staff and stared at the leader of the Winged Hussars who jumped off the tall horse in front of her.
The latter walked forward and took off his helmet when he was seven steps away from the eldest lady, revealing a rough face of a man in his forties or fifties, with short gray hair, sharp eyes, a standard square face and beard, not very big eyes but very rough facial features.
The most unique feature is the high forehead.
This is the most obvious biological feature of the Western Sabarians in the Ice Bay area. As for the rough face, it is a common feature of the mountain people. After understanding this, it is not difficult to understand why Old Eugene complained that Murphy's warriors did not look like mountain people at all!
Where in the world are there mountain people as delicate as them?
The man in front of me, who is 2.5 meters tall, as strong as a bear, and whose muscles exude wildness and violence, is a typical mountain man, okay?
However, the most eye-catching thing about this guy is the scar on his face.
In this war-torn age, it is normal to have scars on your face. It is the most "gentle" memorial imposed by war on life, but the scar is so big that it runs through most of the face from the forehead to the chin, which is not normal even in this era of carelessness.
It should be the wound left by some sharp blade, which passed through his left eye and was only a little bit away from digging out his eyeball.
This guy is really lucky.
"Commander of the Second Winged Cavalry Regiment of Xike, Knight Colonel Valand Vulture Ofor! The last commander of the Winged Cavalry."
The commander looked up and down at the young lady who was only as tall as his waist, his eyes as fierce as a knife, and introduced himself:
"You, the Blood Vulture Vampire, what are you doing in our ancestral land?"
"To restore friendship."
The young lady said calmly:
"As early as the first black disaster, the Winged Cavalry Lords of the Lesenbula Family and the Xikemaier Family were friends. This friendship has lasted for 400 years. It will not be severed because of the threat of the jackals, nor will it be severed because of a war that lasted for ten years. We forget each other.
Let me introduce myself.
My name is Femis!
Femis Cecilia Lesombra, leader of the Midnight Faction of the Blood Vulture Clan, Countess Anderma of Transia.
I am not here to provoke, let alone to fight. ”
“Friendship, what a beautiful word. However, you blood-eating vultures are also worthy of friendship?”
The words of the eldest lady made the commander of the winged cavalry in front of him sneer with disdain. He spat at the side in a rather vulgar way and said:
“Two years ago, when Xike City was besieged by the pioneering army, we sent seven brave knights with Count Xike’s letter for help to Cadman City! We stood firm in the desperate situation. We held on for three months, but what did we get?
When the shameless psychic plague tanks of the Plantagenet Kingdom smashed into the city, when the sky of Xike City was dyed dark green, when our people suffered heavy casualties and struggled on the edge of hell, what did we get?
When Xike City was burned down and the century-old foundation collapsed, what did we get?
Two years!
Two whole years, Miss!
Your father ignored us as if we had never existed, and we went from full of confidence at the beginning, to expectation and pleading in the middle, and then to despair in the end. Your so-called "friendship" made us feel as if we were in a fantasy with a Friends fight side by side against foreign enemies!
So, why are you so surprised?
Femis!
Of course I know who you are! The genius lady of the Blood Vulture Clan. "
Valander sneered and waved his hand, saying:
"However, anyone who talks about "friendship" in this land is smiling but hiding a knife, and the words that claim to help friends are not trustworthy. Now, get out of our forest with the order of your so-called new lord!
The moment the monarch I am loyal to, the rock-like Count Siko, died in the Vulture Castle, we have no relationship with you anymore!
Maybe your lord wants to take this land away, he can try!
The arrogant dwarf on the opposite side spent two years and sacrificed the lives of countless soldiers but failed to set foot in this forest. What power can your lord use to threaten us? "
"This."
Femis was not annoyed.
Everything that happened in Xike City gave the colonel in front of him enough reasons to be angry and refuse to communicate, but fortunately, her mission was to find the Xike Winged Cavalry, and she had completed this mission.
The next trouble is not hers, so let Murphy worry about it.
"Let someone talk to you. I'm not very good at talking. "
The young lady threw a computing orb very easily, then spread her wings and flew into the air, hovering at a delicate position two heads higher than the knight in front of her, and politely bowed to the Vulture Knight in front of her to take her leave.
Within a few minutes, all the Blood Vulture vampires retreated completely.
They didn't even have any regrets.
This behavior made Knight Valander, let alone his subordinates, stare at each other.
Huh?
Have these midnight mice of the Blood Vulture Clan changed their nature?
When did they give up something they liked so easily?
The Vulture Knight did not mount his horse and leave immediately. Instead, he stood in the mountain forest protected by his ancestors, feeling the cold wind from the Ice Bay blowing through the forest at dawn. The wind mixed with coldness made him feel relaxed and refreshed. Yi, and the call of the distant mountains in the Saxe region, which he could never return to, was still hidden in his heart and refused to calm down.
The history behind these people is very complicated, and it cannot be explained in one or two sentences.
But what is certain is that their hometown is far more than the Count of Sico in the north of Transia.
Valander played with the computing orb in his hand. Although Transia was a closed place, he was also a member of the nobility of this land, so he naturally knew the gadgets invented by these halflings.
This strong bear-like guy took out a snuff bottle and sniffed it fiercely under his nostrils, making his beard stained with a touch of gray and yellow, and then the sturdy knight made up his mind.
He activated the computing orb.
Soon, a communication request vibrated in his hand.
"Hello, friend on the other side. "
Murphy's gentle voice sounded on the computing orb in the psychic resonance phenomenon across space. He said:
"Let me introduce myself briefly. My name is Murphy. I am the Governor of Transia recognized by the Plantagenet Kingdom, the Nordtov Kingdom and the Blood Vulture Clan, and the Count Cadman of the Blood Vulture Clan. I am a vampire myself, and Femis, who must have been scolded by you just now, is my companion.
I must say that your anger is directed at the wrong person.
But this is not the point.
I will take up a little of your time to discuss two things with you. Don't worry, it won't take more than five minutes. "
"You don't look like a vampire. "
The Vulture Knight said sarcastically:
"You look like a sissy hiding in the distance! Don't you dare to come to see us in person? "
"Well, provocation! It's a very useful way of negotiation, but you obviously don't grasp the essence of it. You have to put forward your own views and requirements first, and then use your various methods to achieve them. "
Murphy was not provoked at all. He said:
"A true decision-maker should not be so reckless. You have been in a stalemate with the pioneering corps in the mountains for two whole years. Strength alone cannot do this. You also need wisdom to push it behind the scenes. So I can judge that you should not be the leader of the last winged cavalry.
Or, you are just the commander of the army.
Okay, I know.
Please tell your monarch what I will say next, knight!
This is very important to you and us.
You should not have the power to reject the initiative of another lord on behalf of your monarch, so please listen carefully next. "
The vampire knocked on the table over there, and he said in a deep voice:
"First of all, the black disaster is coming, and it will not exceed five and a half months at most! This has been confirmed by the Blood Alliance Knights. If you still have an observation window to the outside, you should find that both the Plantagenet Kingdom and the Northerners of Nordtof have begun preparations.
Such a large-scale operation cannot be faked.
The Portia Confederation was founded because of the black disaster. Everyone living on this land has an ancient and sacred duty to the black disaster! I don't care what you think of my new regime, and I don't care what you think of my claim to rule the entire Transia.
I just tell you this!
You are defending your hometown and forests, but if you don't act quickly, you will soon have no hometown to protect.
This is what I want to say.
In addition, I am eliminating local wolf bandits in my territory. The next step is to defeat the rising wolf warlord Kenport in the Anderma Hills.
If you are interested, I welcome the powerful Winged Hussars to join me on the battlefield and fulfill our ancient mission. "
In response, the Vulture Knight said nothing, but the female knight next to him, who was only a head lower than him and was equally strong and rugged, had taken out a notebook to record this important news.
As for why the Vulture Knight himself did not remember it.
It's not because he is arrogant, but because he is illiterate.
Well, who stipulates that a powerful knight must be both civil and military? Do you have to be able to write poems to be called a knight?
For the two sub-races of mountain people and barbarians, the biggest thing in common between them is that they do not regard writing and knowledge as necessities in life, and they also have excessive strength to ensure their life choices. be implemented to the end.
After all, when faced with a fist as big as a casserole, no matter how beautiful a poem is, it is difficult to soothe a sore face.
"You didn't say no or continue to insult me, which is a good start."
Murphy laughed from the other side and said:
"The next thing is the second thing, which is actually a continuation of the first thing. I would like to ask Count Xico, who is now in charge of you, to come to Scarlet Castle to meet with me to discuss the division of power in the Transia region.
I am the Governor.
But I do not refuse Count Xico to continue to hold his power, that is also part of the ancient agreement.
Of course, I understand that you have concerns, so I can go there.
The time and place are all decided by you, so that I can show my sincerity.
But it may need to be a little later. I have to deal with the gnolls in Cadman Territory and Andeman Hills first. There will be no more than two at the latest. Well, a month and a half! "
"impossible!"
The Eagle Knight finally spoke, he said:
"You simply don't have that many soldiers to wipe out the gnolls in the two counts in a month and a half. Those bullies are so eager to catch the wind that they can't kill them all. The order of the entire Transia has long since collapsed.
Without your blood servants to exterminate them, this will only increase the number of gnolls. "
"Oh, let's make a bet then."
Murphy smiled very calmly and said:
"If we get rid of the gnolls within a month and a half, you and your monarch will come to me. If we can't solve it, it means that my lovely Scarlet Castle will be besieged and destroyed by the gnolls.
Naturally, you don't have to worry about suggestions from a governor who doesn't know what to say and doesn't overestimate his abilities.
You see, there's no risk to you in this proposal, right? "
Knight Valander and his wife looked at each other, and the latter shook her head at him. He immediately wanted to reject this childish proposal, but he heard Murphy say to him:
"There is another small matter. I have taken back the production lines in Xiko City from the Capet family in the Anjou region. They were the ones they took away from your city. Maybe after a while, those production lines will be taken away. Send it back.
I don't have a good place to put them yet.
I mean, if your monarch is interested in this, we can definitely talk about it. "
"That is the ancestral property of the Earl!"
The loyal knight scolded:
"You can't keep it to yourself!"
"Then come and talk to me. After all, I have paid a lot to get back the things that were lost in your hands. I can't lose money."
Murphy said warmly:
"You know where to find me. That's it. I'm looking forward to meeting Count Xico. Good night, everyone."
"Ding"
He cut off the communication without giving the Eagle Knight more room to play.
Without any hesitation, the tall knight called his horse with a whistle, turned over and mounted it, and disappeared with his knights into the forest blessed by their ancestors.
In the office of the Blood Eagle Corridor, Murphy put down the Core Orb with a smile on his face and said to the scarlet Archon Miriam who was sitting opposite him:
"It's done. You can be sure that Count Xico's inheritance has not been cut off. The Hussars still have their masters, which means you can start preparing for negotiations with them."
"But my head is so big!"
The Scarlet Archon lay on the table and covered her head, looking like she was in a state of ruin. She wailed:
"In the past half month, I have started to lose my hair. The envoys from the Ministry of Finance of the Kingdom of Nordtov have arrived in Batashin City, and I have to go there in person to negotiate a deal with them and accept the captives they sent back.
But I don’t understand the economic theory you proposed at all. I tried my best to understand, but I’m really not this material. I didn’t inherit my mother’s talent for business at all, and this knowledge from another world is really useless. is obscure and complex.”
"You can pick a few people and bring them over."
Murphy said to his governor:
"There are professional financial talents among my warriors. I will let them serve as negotiation consultants to advise you and act as your guards."
"Yeah, this is good!"
Miriam nodded repeatedly, but then she heard Murphy say to her:
"But the reward for this mission has to be paid out of your own pocket. This is your personal mission. This is reasonable, right?"
Miriam's face turned bitter again.
She also had to quickly think of something to reward the warriors from another world. She couldn't just take the money, right?
That's so insulting.
But soon, Miriam had a good idea. She thought that Murphy had given every important person in Scarlet Castle the privilege of selecting "warriors". She only had three warriors now, so she might be able to use this unique Titles as rewards.
In addition, the Hammer Guard in my hand seems to be very popular among warriors. I have already obtained the blueprint from Grandma Marian, so it seems that this rare weapon blueprint can also be used as a reward?
She was about to stand up and leave when she heard Murphy's communication orb making a soft ding, which meant that a communication request was triggered.
Murphy picked up the orb and took a look at it in surprise, then connected it, and then the voice of the Eagle Knight sounded from it.
This time, the mountain knight said in a low voice:
"Thank you, Count Xi Ke, for your reminder. Lord Cadman, she asked me to report an important matter to you as a basis for rebuilding mutual trust between the two sides. The Wolfsbane Clan has entered Transia!
This is the information we tortured from the Blood Eagle traitor hiding in our mountains. It is the pioneer of the Wolfsbane Clan to re-enter the continent, known as the "Gray Claw" faction, and the leader is a vampire named "Kolando".
They are now hiding in the Undermar Hills.
Combined with the news you sent before, the Count believes that the suddenly rising werewolf warlord over there is likely to be related to them. You should be careful. This is not a simple accident."
