That's very badass

Chapter 137 The tacit understanding between the kingdoms.

It was already night, and except for the guards, everyone else in the entire camp had fallen asleep, only the bonfire was still burning in the king's tent, and His Majesty's figure was reflected from time to time.

Viscount Mandalay also didn't sleep. He was the envoy to the enemy camp. He had been waiting outside the king's tent for a long time, but His Majesty seemed to be thinking about something and didn't summon him right away.

He seemed a little bored, playing with his fingers constantly, and showing a strange smile from time to time. Under the reflection of the campfire, the two imperial guards at the door were a little hairy.

Looking at the brazier in front of him, His Majesty Quesnel stretched, and then said: "Come in, Viscount Mandalay."

The guards immediately let go of the blocked door, and Viscount Mandalay smiled at them before walking into the king's tent. He didn't speak directly, but looked at the flames in front of him like His Majesty.

It seemed that there was something that fascinated him. His Majesty Quesnel could see that the court nobleman seemed to be a little emotional, but he no longer cared about these details.

"What's the situation, is the other party willing to have peace talks with us?"

His Majesty Quesnel's voice revealed a strong exhaustion, and only in front of his retainers would he reveal this slightly fragile side.

"Your Majesty, things are going very well, they have the willingness to negotiate peace, it feels a little strange that after I said the peace talks, I caught the joy in their eyes.

Although they quickly suppressed it, it was too obvious that they couldn't suppress it. It seemed that they were in some serious trouble. "

Viscount Manderly expressed his judgment based on his observations, and looked forward to His Majesty's reward.

"I see, go down and rest, it's hard for you."

It's just that His Majesty Quesnel simply nodded and let him go down. It seems that such information is somewhat dispensable to him.

In the eyes of His Majesty Quesnel, this is still just a guess, and guesses cannot be regarded as intelligence, even if it is intelligence, it may be deliberately revealed to them by the enemy.

Those nobles would not fight the enemy because of such a piece of information that they didn't know the true or false. From the information about the fall of Fort Lite last time, it can be seen that they don't trust anyone at all.

Regardless of whether this matter is true or not, it will not do them any good to continue fighting. As for the trouble they encounter, it is nothing more than that the other two countries are preparing to attack the Kingdom of Hastings.

If they choose to smash and hold back the enemy, they may not be able to persist until the enemy destroys the Kingdom of Hastings, but it is more likely that they angered the enemy.

Once the enemy army is angered, the enemy army may destroy them regardless of their care, and they dare not use the enemy's temper to block the country's fortunes, which is something that even a lunatic would not do.

Because even if the Kingdom of Rhodes is destroyed, and the enemy is only likely to be destroyed, the Kingdom of Hastings can stand among the three countries because of its real strength.

He never underestimated anyone, but he never exaggerated the prowess of his own people either.

Why did he make a wedding dress for the enemy?It is an idiot's behavior to fight all the troops, and then leave a remnant army for the other two countries to take advantage of, so that they can destroy the two countries in one fell swoop.

Of course, they can choose to withdraw to the castle and defend the city. The problem is that they overestimated themselves at the beginning. If the information is true, the enemy will definitely not let them retreat.

The army confronting each other on the plain is not something you can withdraw if you want to. The enemy will inevitably stop it, especially when they still have the advantage, they also have this ability.

At that time, the retreat is more likely to turn into a big rout, which is a real disaster, so not only can they not retreat, but they can only reach peace with the Kingdom of Hastings here.

This is the reality, he is ready to cede the entire southern part of the kingdom, he only hopes to stabilize the enemy army in this way, and let the idiots of the other two countries fight.

Yes, in his opinion, they were the real fools. It took them so long to analyze the intelligence, which put them in such a disadvantageous position.

People will always find excuses for their failures and comfort themselves with them.

Just like the Rhodes people now, if it weren't for the failure of the southern nobles too quickly, the situation would not be as corrupt as it is now.

As for the Kingdom of Hastings, where they border the other two countries, although there are still a lot of soldiers, [-]% of them are recruits.

Just thinking about this matter made them feel cold sweat, which is why they were eager to go back.

The two sides have fallen into a dilemma because of different things, and they are both ready to negotiate a peace. It has to be said that the long-term peace has worn them out without any sense of adventure.

They no longer had the courage of the pioneering period of the whole people, and began to look forward and backward. Maybe this is the reason why they were able to maintain the peace of the four countries for so many years.

The benefits of this are obvious, because of the relatively safe environment, humans can reproduce, and the population number has risen sharply, which has also promoted the increase in productivity.

If this is a world without aliens, then their peaceful development seems to be good, but human beings are facing a huge threat from aliens, and their division and melee will definitely lead to the collapse of the building.

Especially when the orcs changed and restarted the pioneering act, they angered the three neighboring alien forces almost at the same time, which made their situation worse.

They seem to be more keen to seize the land of the same race than the land of other races.

"Order the auxiliary soldiers to build a high platform in the middle of the battlefield for tomorrow's peace talks; notify the nobles at all levels to arrive on time tomorrow and prepare to participate in the peace talks together."

The clerk who was waiting next to him turned and left immediately, he was going to implement His Majesty's order.

the next day.

The nobles who had received the news of the peace talks got up early in the morning, put on their armor with the help of their attendants, and then gathered in front of the king's tent.

I saw undisguised joy on the faces of all of them, they were chatting shoulder to shoulder, talking about how to relax after going back, and teasing each other.

Of course Roland was also on the list, but he was very puzzled by such behavior, as if the soldiers who died in battle and the land lost had nothing to do with them.

If they are uninformed, they may regard them as the winning party.

Earl Brando has been paying attention to Roland, and stopped him when he was about to turn to leave, "Don't pay attention to these nobles, they are just some family agents.

It is also their responsibility to reduce losses and preserve their strength. If the losses are too large and they do not gain any benefits, they will not have a good life when they return to the family.

And we couldn't defeat each other in the first place. Considering the threat of orcs, peace is the best result.

Most importantly, don't let Shaboty see our disunity, then he is likely to put the goal of the next war on us again.

After all, your banner can be said to be the only record we can show, and everyone else can do it without you, but you cannot be absent.

Why don't you bring an extra pair of plate armor and show them a broken plate armor with one hand on the spot, so that I can see their stinky faces. "

Earl Brando picked up his cloak with one hand while talking, and directly raised it high, and finally laughed outright.

Looking at the satisfied Earl Brando, Roland greeted him all over his head.

My good fellow, why are you using me as a pretense when it is clear that I am good at it?

Roland understood that Earl Brando was just a joke, "Okay, I get it, can you stop laughing, I'm afraid others will think me as a fool like you."

Earl Brando's words meant something, and the nobles present immediately lowered their faces and put on a bad face.

It's just that the matter has been settled, and when they thought that they would never have to see these northern barbarians again, they smiled again.

"Why are you laughing so loudly? Earl Brando, if you have any good news, please share it with me."

Looking at His Majesty Quesnel who came out, Earl Brando just shrugged and didn't say much.

His Majesty Quesnel was a little noncommittal about this, "Let's go together, as the defeated party, we must rush to the venue first."

After finishing speaking, he took the lead and walked towards the high platform in the middle, and everyone followed.

As they were seated, the nobles of the Kingdom of Hastings started to set off, and they also came here under the leadership of His Majesty Sabote.

When they arrived at the high platform, the nobles of the Rhode Kingdom stood up to greet them, and His Majesty Quesnel even said directly: "Welcome, Your Majesty Sabertay, I have to say that you made a wise choice."

"Don't talk about those nonsense. If there is no delay, and it will snow soon, which is not conducive to logistics transportation, it is impossible for us to sit here and talk about peace."

It's just that His Majesty Sha Botai was not in a good mood, because he could have taken the Kingdom of Rhodes in one fell swoop, but now he was held back by others, so he had to accept the peace negotiation.

Hearing this, His Majesty Quesnel's complexion suddenly turned pale. Fortunately, the other party also expressed his desire for peace, so he stopped talking, but went directly to his seat and sat down.

Shabotai's eyes swept across the enemy's nobles, and finally fell directly on Roland's robe. He clearly remembered this coat of arms, the young man who shined on the battlefield.

When others were still fighting fiercely, only under the banner of sickle and hammer, their soldiers were rushed to pieces, which reminded him of the destruction of Dawn Legion.

And the name shouted by Rhodes' army - Roland, "If you want to negotiate a peace, then first hand over the man named Roland. He destroyed the Dawn Army that I have cultivated for a long time."

As soon as the words fell, it caused an uproar among the nobles of the Rhodes Kingdom. Although they had a bad relationship with Earl Roland, at this time, their positions were completely consistent.

What's more, Earl Roland, as a titan in the army, was also humiliating them by turning back his words.

The applause of the nobles of the Hastings Kingdom and humiliating their enemies have always been their favorite projects.

Only Roland, after experiencing many wars, his temper became much more irritable. Faced with such a scene, he immediately prepared to draw out the weapon at his waist, but he couldn't find it after a while of groping.

Just because today was a peace negotiation, everyone did not carry weapons, but his move also made the nobles of the Kingdom of Rhodes sweat like rain.

The fear of the noble Rhodes fell into Sabotey's eyes, "My temper is really bursting," with such thoughts, he straightened his body calmly, and was ready to evacuate directly if the situation was wrong.

Fortunately, after Roland failed to find the weapon, he had no next move.

Only then did they breathe a sigh of relief, and continued to sit down.

"Your Majesty Sha Botai, it's meaningless for you to say that. You know that I can't agree to such a request. If we can't agree, then let's not talk about it."

Facing Shabotai's little divorce plan, Quesnel did not intend to accept it, and expressed his attitude by directly getting up and preparing to leave.

It's just that he just stood and didn't really leave.

After Quesnel's face became more and more ugly, Shabotai said: "Forget it, it's boring, stop doing those petty tricks, and show your sincerity.

It is impossible to just cede the land we occupy, it is a humiliation to us, if you have no better conditions, we would rather continue to fight. "

Hearing this, Knell sat down again with a pale face, "We are going to cede the entire southern part of the kingdom to your country in order to gain your friendship and achieve the peace we all hope for.

Of course, those cities and castles that are still occupied by people need to be recovered by yourself, and we will not intervene in this. "

He no longer intends to play tricks with Sha Botai. They are already the losing party, and if they continue to play tricks, they will only usher in the humiliation of the other party, and they have nothing to do about it.

Therefore, he directly raised his bottom line as the sincerity of the peace talks.

"This is a bit of a surprise to me, Quesnel Rhodes. I have to say that you still have the bearing of a king. We agreed to this condition."

Shabotai was just taken aback. Considering the difficulties his side faced, he only planned to advance hundreds of miles with their front. What he didn't expect was that Quesnel was so generous.

He also had some guesses about this, and asked directly: "Then what are you going to do about the redemption of the captured nobles?"

It seems that Sha Botai has already guessed his thoughts, and he does not intend to hide it when he sees this, "Let those nobles stay with you. As for the prisoners of your country, we will release them."

"I understand, I will take good care of them, so that's it."

Then the clerks of the two sides began to draft the documents and wrote their agreements on them one by one. After the kings of both sides confirmed that they were correct, they would stamp their seals.

After that, it was handed over to the nobles of both sides to check, and stamped the emblems of their respective families on it in turn, and then the two sides exchanged and kept each other, and the ceremony of peace negotiation was completed.
