The Origin of Arcane

Three days later.

The Danube, Brother Port No. 1 Pier.

The leader of the Yongye army and the Kingsley family conquered the Eastern Army, and the two brightly and secretly confronted countless forces, and held a high-level meeting.

On the Donau River, there are many warships and elites all around, and they are encircling the brother ports. Once there is a problem with the meeting, the Eternal Night Army leader will launch a full-scale landing operation.

In Brother Port, the Kingsley family's conquering army is also tense. Outside Pier 1, the army is surrounded, and even defensive siege equipment has been pushed up, fearing that the Evernight Army will lead small methods.

At the first meeting, the two parties had not yet established the most basic trust, and they were afraid that the other party would start with their commander.

For this meeting place, the two sides racked their brains and wrangled for several days.

In the end, Yongyejun led a concession before reaching an agreement.

Compared with Akmeser, Yongye Army leader is more confident in terms of overall situation and methods.

Whether it is the black collar air support or the soul beast card, it is Sean's means to survive. Akmeser knows the former, but he doesn't know the latter.

Once the calculation fails, Akmeser will push the Eastern Army into the **** that will never be restored, and the angry Eternal Night Army will cut off all possibilities for negotiation.

Due to the thorough preparations, the initial meeting went smoothly without any accidents.

Both sides entered the arena in a very low-key manner, and there was no sensitive move to show off force, so doing so would not make any sense except to stimulate the other's sensitive nerves.

After all, the two sides have fought for countless rounds in the open and secretly, and the out-and-out old opponents can also be regarded as knowing the foundation.

"Your Excellency, he is younger than I expected." Akmeser said with a smile.

"Marshal is not the first to say this, and I believe it won't be the last to say this." Xiao En responded with a smile, "Your Excellency, the marshal is also younger than I expected."

"The Baron is complimenting me? Or scolding me?" Akmeser lifted his gray hair and beard. "Is this still young?"

"Your Excellency Marshal, the more true personality is the same as the rumors." Sean said haha, turning the topic off, "Let's get started."

"Let's get started!" No matter how true Akmeser's character is, he won't cling to a compliment. If he is so true, he won't sit where he is now.

Xiao En sat in a precarious manner and opened the door to the mountain and said: "The trial work, I believe the people below have already done it, Marshal, let's not waste time on both sides. You should know that the lives of 20,000 crocodile civilians cannot be your amulet. Make a tangible price so that we can proceed to the next step. The longer the 20,000 crocodile civilians stay in your hands, the faster the devaluation will be. When they are all dead, you don’t even want to change your food. One pill."

"The Baron is not only a qualified lord, but also a qualified businessman." Akmesser couldn't help sighing.

"Thank you for your praise, Your Excellency Marshal."

"The grain of one thousand merchant ships must be loaded with no less than 20 tons." Akmesser directly offered the price.

"Twenty thousand tons of food, an average of one ton of food per person, your Excellency Marshal, are we slaughtering us as fat sheep? Or are the 20,000 crocodile civilians treated as real money? Your Excellency, there is still no sincerity."

Akmeser is a typical lion with a big mouth. Twenty thousand tons of food is enough for his 200,000 army to eat for half a year. It really takes the Yongye army leader as a head.

Xiao En sat on the floor and repaid the money and said, "Two hundred tons of grain, no more."

"Your Excellency Baron has always made me a little sincere. When I get to my side, I can't see any sincerity. I cut off 99% as soon as I get started. It's a bit too cruel. That's 20,000 people, even two. Ten thousand pigs don’t stop at this price, right?"

"Everything must be divided into circumstances. If it is normal, human lives are priceless. Let alone 20,000 lives, even if it is two lives, we will not hesitate to start a war, but now it is a war period, and human lives are even more expensive than pigs. It's cheap, at least the pigs can still eat them. They are in the hands of the marshal. That's an out-and-out trouble. Do you think this is the truth?" Xiao En said in a serious way.

"You are an out-and-out sophistry." Akmeser said with a cold face, "Human life is human life, and this will never change. I heard that the baron just annexed the Crocodile tribe. Doesn't it matter to his tribe's life and death? Like what the Baron said, it’s just dragging on, but your people will die. It’s really hard to tell whether this bad debt is on us or your Lord Baron. After all, our Kingsley family quit. The Swamp of Despair has become a foregone conclusion. Your Excellency will continue to rule here, so let's make a concession for you and me, 18,000 tons."

"Your Excellency, the Marshal, is confusing concepts? It's obviously an evil thing you did, how can you put this bad debt on us? You see, even if it is unsuccessful, we have already expressed our sincerity, and I have come personally. , The final result is still caused by your wild asking prices. How can it be possible to let others do an impossible task? Two hundred and fifty tons, it can’t be more.”

"An unfinished task? The baron is joking? Let’s not talk about how easy it is to adjust grain directly from the plains of Asia Minor because you are taking advantage of the land now. Just say that the grain merchants on the Huayu plateau have no less than 8,000 tons of grain. You just didn’t. Has an agreement been reached?"

"The Marshal’s news is really well-informed. Yes, we have indeed reached an agreement, but reaching an agreement is one thing. Whether we can afford it or not is another matter. Our family has a small business and is engaged in construction. , It’s another war. It’s already running out of money. There is no way to eat it all at once. It is already the limit to take a small part of it. What's more, our army and the people also have to eat."

The two sides talked and talked, the bargaining between you and me, and the confrontation between the small vendors and the grocery shopping in the vegetable market, there is not much difference, but the numbers in their mouths are bigger.

Acmethe, the seller, asked wildly for the price, and Sean, the buyer, sat on the floor to pay back.

But the psychological price difference between the two is far-reaching, the disparity is nearly a hundred times, and it will be difficult to reach an agreement for a while.

In the end, Akmeser bitten 10,000 tons and refused to drop it again. He focused on the 8,000 tons of military rations that the Huayu Plateau grain merchants should deliver to them.

And Sean’s price increased to 1,000 tons, and he refused to continue to increase the amount. The Yongye Army leader wanted to rescue the 20,000 crocodile civilians. It was true that it did not affect their overall plan. If too much rations are put into Akmeser's hands, it will increase the variables and fools will do it.

The meeting lasted three hours on the first day, and finally broke up unhappy.

The two seemed to be talking about food all the time, and a lot of things were mixed in the gossip.

For example, Sean's oblique suggestion that as long as Akmetheken leads his army to surrender, the Yongye Army leader will treat each other with the highest standards and still lead a group army.

Akmeser not only refused cleanly, but also expressed that as long as the Eternal Night Army leads the river and releases the Kingsley family from the Eastern Army to return home, they will not only unconditionally let go of the 20,000 crocodile civilians in their hands, but also promise Kingsley. The family can sign a non-aggression treaty with the leader of Yongye, giving up prying on the swamp of despair.

This proposal was also ignored by Sean. He finally caught a big fish and didn't explode two pounds of oil from him. How could he be worthy of his previous hard work?

Both sides are taking this opportunity to test each other's bottom line, and the result is not very good.

For the leader of Yongye, the resistance displayed by Akmeser is still very tenacious, and he has not been affected by the difficulties. This kind of experienced and indomitable veteran is the most difficult, even if there is no hope in front of him. Can also persist to the end.

For such a person, let Yong Yejun lead the mouse to drag the egg and have nowhere to lay his mouth. It is too difficult to find a breakthrough from him.

For Ackermesser, Sean is more difficult than expected. At a young age, his political skills are very old, and his words are silent. You can't figure out which one of his words is true and which one is true. fake.

If Xiao En did not attach importance to the lives and deaths of the 20,000 crocodile people, the leader of Yong Ye not only agreed to the negotiation, but also as the supreme leader, Xiao En personally took the initiative.

If it is said that they value it, Xiao En's words and deeds show endless indifference. In his mouth, the 20,000 crocodile civilians are just a cold number, and he is not willing to pay even a grain of food for them.

The lives and deaths of the two thousand crocodile civilians must stand aside for the benefit of Yongye Army Leader.

Their current behavior is like the rope dropped from the city wall in the defensive battle of Brother Port.

They only care if they make such a gesture. As for how many people can be saved, it is of secondary importance.

This is a process of fighting wit and strength.

Both sides are dragging, it depends on who can't hold back first and make the biggest concession.

Time is obviously more detrimental to the Kingsley family's conquest of the Eastern Army. As time goes by, their rations are shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Normally, I can save on food and clothing. Everyone eats half full. I am now in a nervous state of negotiating. Naturally, I can't do this. Otherwise, the enemy hasn't taken any action, and I will get messed up first.

An army of 200,000 people eat horses and chew, and the food and grass consumed in one day is a terrifying number.

I don't know if Yong Ye Jun leader realized this. Sean seemed to have consciously dragged the negotiation into a deadlock. He dragged Akermesser every day, and in the end it was a few tons of food.

Akmeser is an asking price of tens of thousands of tons. According to this method, to find the year of the monkey?

Before the results came out, the Kingsley family ran out of food.

It's useless for Akmeser to be in a hurry. Once he makes a concession, he will fall into the trick of the leader of the eternal night.

Just as the negotiations in the swamp of despair reached a deadlock, there was also a political confrontation in Valesta, the capital of a thousand miles away.

"Sorry, Your Excellency, the princess went to the Virgin Women’s Convent for a meditation and has not returned." The regent's personal bodyguard, Chief Bi Luo, stopped in front of Duke Buck.

"How long will it take for the princess to come back?" Grand Duke Buck asked patiently. This is the thirteenth time he has visited the Regent Princess Sophie Liya, but not once.

Every time the noble regent princess hugged her body, or happened to be out.

The sky is pitiful, when did the great knight become as delicate as the noble ladies in the boudoir?

I have consciously blocked the opponent several times, but they all ended in failure.

This is the royal capital Valesta, the opponent's world, if the opponent is blocked by him, an outsider, then there is really a problem.

Knowing that the other party was hiding from himself deliberately, Grand Duke Buck could only hold himself in his stomach when he had fire. After all, he was here to beg this time.

"This is hard to say, there are lengths and shortcomings, sometimes it only takes two or three hours, sometimes it takes several days. The regent princess will stay in the convent of the Virgin for a few days." Biluo replied ambiguously.

"Today, no matter what, I will see Her Royal Highness. No matter how long it takes, I will be here to wait." Grand Duke Buck was also determined to see Sophie Liya.

However, there was no mention of going to the Convent of the Virgin. Who knew that after they ran Baba, they found that the regent princess had returned to the palace from another road by coincidence. When they came back, the other party went out because of other coincidences.

He had seen too many such coincidences, no matter how fast a person ran, he couldn't keep up with the mountain and the eagle flew fast.

This time he made up his mind to guard the palace, he didn't believe that the regent princess could hide forever?

His supreme ruler of the Kingsley family is shameless, and he is also shameless by the Lancelot royal family?

Grand Duke Buck sat in front of the palace like this, and ignored Bi Luo's request to invite him to the meeting room.

On the corner of the palace, which was no more than 100 meters away from Duke Buck, a group of people were watching Duke Buck’s every move.

Headed by Biluo, the regent princess Sophilia who should be meditating in the convent of the Virgin Mary.

The middle-aged man standing next to him laughed and said: "The situation is so terrible to such an extent that it is possible for a dignified army to use such abusive methods?"

"It's not that Uncle Arnold doesn't know the greedy faces of those old guys. No wind and no waves can do things for you, not to mention that the Kingsley family is deeply mired this time. They are like sharks that smell fishy. They all wanted to take a bite from the Kingsley family. Just three days ago, the southeast army officer brought up the old matter of the Adolf family and asked for a new ruling on the ownership of the disputed Nans hilly area. Then they mobilized five thousand. The private army of the nobles blocked all the roads leading to the Carthusian leader in the hilly area of ​​Nantes, and expelled all the nobles and mine owners here."

"So serious?" The smile on Arnold's handsome face couldn't help but recede.

There is a dispute about the ownership of the hilly area of ​​Nantes. It is not a day or two. The Byron Alliance was not clear at the beginning of its establishment. Not to mention that after three hundred years of inheritance, the nobles here married each other and the inheritance rights changed back and forth. It's even more unclear. Anyway, the public says that the public is justified and the wife is justified, and both sides hold their own opinions.

Most of these areas will fall to the side with the bigger fist.

As for axioms?

In many cases, big fists are axioms.

The hilly area of ​​Nantes has been under the rule of the Carthusian army for the past fifty years ~www.wuxiahere.com~. The Adolf family did this, undoubtedly provoke the Kingsley family.

In the past, the Kingsley family's army had already passed by.

Even if you want to talk, wait until the paw that the Adolf family stretched over is cut off.

Because once they show weakness, neighbors in other disputed areas will use this as an excuse to move around.

At that time, they will not just take back the ownership of the disputed areas, and even take the opportunity to create more disputed areas.

Although Arnold doesn't play politics, he speaks publicly and is very familiar with politics.

"Grand Duke Buck, this time the bet is too big. In the Swamp of Despair, they invested too much. The victory is a brilliant victory, and the defeat is a complete defeat. Now the result is the latter, the most elite unit of the family, are trapped in Not to mention Swamp of Despair, it is still in a financial crisis. Even if the trapped troops are rescued, they still can't get rid of the wolves' look around." As a bystander, the Regent Princess understands the Kingsley family's terrible situation. More clearly.
