Black Iron Crown

"A third of the land of the Grand Duchy of the Northern Territory?" Hamier Khan narrowed his eyes slightly, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Are you talking about the Grand Duke of the Northern Territory who wiped out the Aguer tribe before?"

"Yes Khan, that is the Grand Duchy of the North!" Sir Horn nodded.

"But isn't he a subject of your empire? Why do you need me to help you fight the Duke of the North?" Hamier Khan asked.

"Khan doesn't know something." Sir Horn said with a sigh: "They have been developing rapidly since then. Four years ago, they had established an independent grand duchy, which broke away from the rule of the empire, and even wanted to be rebellious. Use troops against the empire!"

After hearing Sir Horn's words, Hamel Khan said with a sneering smile at the corner of his mouth: "But isn't your empire always strong? Why do you even need my help to deal with a traitorous courtier?"

Hamel Khan is naturally not as careless as he appears on the surface. He is certainly not without wrists if he has been a Khan for more than 20 years in a large tribe with a population of nearly 100,000.

He lives in the grassland, and he doesn't know much about the affairs of the empire. After all, their characteristics are too obvious, black hair and gray eyes. In the entire continent, only the nomads on their grassland have such characteristics.

Once they dispatched spies and spies, they would probably be discovered before they started to inquire about the news, and they would be arrested and beheaded.

Therefore, he only knew a little about the environment and contradictions within the empire, and he had only heard about the independence of the northern border two years ago.

However, he is very familiar with the name of the Grand Duke of the Northern Territory, Lena, and he has inquired about the destruction of the Aguer tribe. Many people in the remnant of the Aguer tribe were gathered by Hamel Khan.

The combat capability of the Northern Army is astonishing. It is unbelievable for Hamel Khan to use infantry to block the charging cavalry. Even the most elite warriors under his command cannot achieve such a result, and the record of the Northern Army But there is no suspense.

Therefore, when he heard that the enemy he was about to face was the Grand Duke of the North, he began to hesitate.

He deploys to fear the northern border army. As a hero on the prairie, no one has the ability to make him afraid. Even Emperor Kafete, who dared not take a breath in the whole continent that was unparalleled in the world, could not make him completely Surrender.

He just thinks it's not worth it. It's more cost-effective to fight the northern border army for a little food and land that he doesn't need at all.

Not too many warriors will die, and at the same time they can get enough food and gold and silver treasures, which is definitely more cost-effective than fighting the northern army.

Back then, it was possible to eliminate the Aguer tribe, whose strength was almost the same as his own. Now that so many years have passed, his strength has even reached the independent confidence. Naturally, he is stronger than before. Hamel Khan is not Willing to face such a powerful enemy.

Comparatively speaking, an empire that is weaker is the best target for plunder.

With this thought in mind, Hamel Khan's expression became slightly subtle.

He looked at Sir Horn and said, "Dear Khan, the Grand Duke of the North is getting stronger and stronger, and he has attracted many lords and nobles to rebel with him. It will be difficult for us to eliminate them under the changing circumstances. Quite a few."

"Although we are not unable to destroy the Grand Duchy of Beijing under the joint efforts of us and the Kingdom of Bookern, we still have to bear some losses after all.

So His Majesty the Emperor hopes to join hands with you to wipe out the Grand Duchy of the North! "

Sir Horne didn't want to expose the weakness of the empire in front of Hamel Khan, so he could only slap his swollen face and pretend to be fat.

"Oh? But if I help you all, I will have to pay a high price! The Grand Duke of the Northern Territory wiped out the existence of the Aguer tribe at the beginning. I am worried that the loss will be too great, and what about the Bookeden Kingdom? , I am even less willing to face an enemy that is difficult for both of you to deal with together!"

"As for the one-third of the northern land you mentioned..." Hamier Khan said with a smile: "I'm really not very interested. We have a vast prairie. This sentence is enough for us to gallop. There is no pasture growing in this area, it is not a place for our descendants of the wolf god to live!"

Sir Horn felt a little loose when he heard Hamel Khan's words, and immediately said with a stick: "Not only these, the empire can pay more things to compensate you, Khan..."

Having said this, Sir Horn immediately stopped talking, and he realized that he seemed to have made a big mistake.

And Hamier Khan smiled meaningfully at his fellow faces.

Then, he looked at Sir Horn and said, "Then, what price can you pay? I don't want my warriors to work hard on the battlefield and end up with nothing!"

"This..." Sir Horn said hesitantly: "I'm afraid I have to ask His Majesty and the others for instructions. I don't have the right to make arbitrary decisions myself!"

"That's good!" Hamier Khan said, "I'll send someone to follow you back to the imperial capital, how about having a face-to-face talk with your emperor?"

"Khan..."

Just as Sir Horn was about to say something, he heard Hamel Khan pointing to a young man in the tent and said, "Repe Wuxun, follow the imperial envoy to meet their emperor and have a personal talk. The conditions of the alliance!"

"By the way..." Hamel Khan looked at Sir Horn after finishing speaking, glanced at the translator beside him, and said, "What did you want to say just now?"

Sir Horne shook his head bitterly and did not speak.

So just like that, after accepting some hospitality, Sir Horn reluctantly took Repe Wuxun and a series of his entourages to the imperial capital.

Repe Wuxun is the son of Hamel Khan, who has just turned twenty years old this year.

"Sir Horn, when will we arrive at your Khan Court?" Lie Peiwu Xun spoke Ridkar stiffly, and he learned a lot of Ridkar language from the translator in half a month.

"Probably twenty days or so..." Sir Horne said as he wiped the snot that had flowed down to his proud red beard and had already formed a layer of frost.

Lie Peiwu Xun couldn't understand this time, he turned his eyes to the translator, and he nodded to express his understanding after the translator conveyed it.

Prince Repe Wuxun rolled his eyes. As the most important son of Hamel Khan, although he was only twenty years old, his vision was extremely sharp.

This time Hamel Khan sent him to the imperial capital not only to negotiate, but also to let him see with his own eyes the reality of the empire and see what kind of strength the empire still has.

Make a judgment on the empire, and finally decide whether to unite with the empire to deal with the Grand Duchy of the North.

The population of the nomads is precious, and Hamel Khan is unwilling to let his warriors be wasted on the battlefield against powerful enemies.
