Realm of Power

On November 21, the negotiations between the two sides officially began outside the long wall. The original position of the sentry tower had been moved flat by the Slavs on their own initiative and replaced with a tent 20 meters long and wide. Thirty thousand Slavic troops stopped. 100 meters away from the negotiation location,

Salon, on the other hand, showed no fear and went to the meeting lightly dressed with only a few bodyguards.

This move shocked the Slavs opposite. Compared with Salon, who was as light as going to a banquet,

The Slavs were fully prepared. Not only did they form a 30,000-strong army, but in order to earn back some face from the previous failure, they sent out a rare escort of 500 heavy Slavic warriors in heavy armor, who were responsible for the negotiations. The leader’s representative is called Yardli.

He is about thirty years old, has a handsome appearance, and has a cold light in his eyes that people dare not look at. He is one of the leaders of the three largest tribes of the Slavs and the main person supporting the negotiations.

The other deputy negotiator was named Bass. Although he was a deputy, judging from the attitude of Adli following him, this person was the real person in charge. Salon looked at him a few times. He was forty years old and had a good appearance. Calm and humble, without the slightest arrogance, and usually with a faint smile when speaking, but in people's intuition, you can also feel the coldness and stability of the other person's heart.

This is a person who can make judgments calmly. It is rare for Salon to judge a person like this in his heart. He suddenly knew why Fatty gave up Duo Zai and sent himself. Duo Zai is also a calm politician, but the other party is obviously not only Just as simple as a politician, this is a pair of eyes that has seen mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Civil servants like Duo Zai are the first to lose their momentum in terms of momentum. "You two, please sit down!"

Salon cheered up and took advantage of arriving early. He sat down on the seat opposite him unceremoniously as a host would treat a guest, and then gestured to the two people who had just walked in to sit down.

He knew that the other party could not hear what he said, so this sentence was spoken by the translator behind him,

The two sat down across from each other. Salon's demeanor made him feel that he was a very patient person, persevering and unyielding. The Slavs were already in this situation. Logically speaking, the other party should be eager to negotiate, but However, the Slavic people's response came back only on the last day of the three-day period. It can be seen that the Slavic people also have this kind of entanglement about the negotiations. This surprised Fatty and Salon, but they also had to feel a little admiration for these Slavic leaders. ,

"My name is Adri, the person in charge of this negotiation. I wonder who you are?"

Adri, who was opposite him, actually spoke fluent Northwest dialect, which surprised Salon.

"My father is a Slavic and my mother is from the Northwestern, so I can speak Slavic and also the Northwestern language!" The corners of Adri's mouth turned up slightly. He was also observing Salon opposite him. Salon's one-eyed appearance looked exactly the same. A military commander with outstanding military exploits,

Adri is judging Saron's identity within the city walls, General? commander? The person in charge? Does it mean that if we kill this guy, the wall will break up without a fight? With such magnanimity and courage, he is definitely not a simple person. This is Yardli's judgment. The deputy named Bass next to him has a calm face, with no change in emotion, just like a wave of unpredictable emotions. The water pool, this couldn't help but make Salon feel vigilant. For some reason, he felt that it was Adri who seemed to be in charge across the way, but the one who made the decision and judgment must be the cold ice cube next to him. deputy

"Saron!" Saron said with a stern expression, "Commander of the Falcon Empire's Northern Legion!"

"Falcon Empire?" Adri was confused when he heard that, his face was unexpectedly stunned, and he asked in confusion, "Isn't it the Gallic Empire? How did it become the Falcon Empire? Or did I hear it wrong?"

"The Gallic Empire is the Gallic Empire, and the Falcon Empire is the Falcon Empire! You heard that right," Salon responded very rudely. This is what the fat man wanted him to express. The Slavs must clearly know that the northwest It is two different things from the mainland of the Gallic Empire.

Only in this way can the Slavs be completely reassured, and then turn their troops to march eastward, throwing the unprepared Gallic Empire into chaos and completing the most important part of the entire strategy.

"So, we made a mistake from the beginning?" Yardley sat down across from him, resting his chin on his hand, with uncertainty in his tone. "I'm really sorry, but we didn't understand the situation! We ended up bumping into each other."

"It can be said that although my lord has the title of ruler of the northwest coast of the Gallic Empire, we are us, and Gaul is Gaul!"

Salon said unceremoniously, "Our homeland is the overseas continent of Ikadiva, not the mainland of Gaul in the east. The northwest coast is just an enclave of ours overseas! The affairs of the Gallic Empire have nothing to do with us! We I care about the northwest, where the flag of the Falcon Empire will be planted. , instead of the military flag of the Gallic Empire! "Ikadiva? A place I have never heard of!" Adri's eyes flickered and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. If what the other party said was true, it would be no wonder. He has such strong combat power, but what if the other party deceives him? This bet is too big. If you are not careful, the Slavic people will suffer a major blow, and may even be completely wiped out under the attack of the Gallic Empire and the Dongting people! "You two, we are both soldiers, so there is no need to be polite. Our first task is to end this war that should not have happened!" Salon said calmly, "It is already winter, and it will be detrimental to both you and me to waste it like this." , the northwest is our land, this road is blocked, you must move in other directions."

"In addition to the northwest, the only other direction is the east." Bass, who was sitting next to Adri, his wrinkled eyes flashed, and said to himself, "But there should be Gaul..."

"As long as it's not the northwest, we don't care about the rest!" Salon interrupted his seemingly soliloquy temptation and reiterated coldly, we only want the northwest!

"Okay, we can give up and continue going south, but can you tell us the specific range of the northwest you are talking about?" Adri's face became more relaxed from the seriousness at the beginning, and he decided to test it further, no matter what the other party said was true. False, but the other party's intention seems to be only in the northwest, which is a good thing for the Slavs. He wants to know how big the other party's appetite is, so as to speculate on the other party's truth. "Of course you can. To explain our request more clearly, I brought a map." Salon gestured to the guard behind him, and a map was spread out between the two parties. Salon's calm eyes shone. Looking at the military map, he drew a huge red circle with a pen, including the entire northwest region, "What a big appetite!" Yardli and Bass both looked at the map and took a deep breath of air-conditioning, the entire northwest! No wonder the other party is willing to let him go

Under the slightly surprised gazes of the two, Salon stood up, pointed to the northernmost red line, and said, "This is our bottom line. As long as you don't cross this line, we won't take action!"

"Is this... guaranteed?" Yardli looked at the somewhat dazzling red line. Very good, this line completely opened up the way to the east.

"Guarantee? We didn't launch a full-scale attack on you in your situation, it's already a guarantee!" Salon sneered at the corner of his mouth, "I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, your situation has always been under our control, Hung Han We were under severe pressure and hardship, and there was a widespread epidemic of plague in the army. To put it bluntly, Our army is enough to defeat you. Even if we do nothing, as long as we stick to the city wall, what can you do to us? Winter has come, and in such a severe cold, we only need to wait quietly, and you will have nothing but Go away or perish, I think you will know that what I said is not a lie!"

"Asshole, you!" Adri's face turned red and he stood up from his seat. His eyes were bloodshot. This was a harsh threat, almost a direct stab at the weaklings. The constant casualties undoubtedly made the leaders pain and distress,

"Yadri, you are now carrying the future of millions of Slavs. Your recklessness will kill more people!"

Bass, who was sitting next to him, took his hand and said in a heavy tone. Adri's body trembled slightly and seemed to calm down because of these words. Bass turned to Salon and said, "General Salon is right. No attack is already a guarantee, but I’m also very curious. You’ve been encouraging us to move east, maybe you have some agenda!”

"Haha, it's convenient to talk to smart people!" Salon didn't hide anything, and said with a sharp smile, "Your Excellency is right. If you have to give one reason, it is that in this land, there should be only one empire. ! If you don’t enter the hinterland of the Gallic Empire, how can we have a chance to swallow up the entire northwest? This reason should be enough!”

"There is only one empire in this land, and it will swallow up the entire northwest!" Adri and Bass looked at each other at the same time. They could not hear any falsehood in Salon's tone. The other party's tone was very tough and aggressive. Like a sharp sword approaching, yet he dares to say such words, this is a typical soldier! Without so many twists and turns, the person who could make such a plan would definitely not be the soldier in front of him, so who could it be?

"Okay, even though I don't want to admit it, I hope you are telling the truth!" Adri's face regained his composure, and he and Bas stood up from their seats.

"I will tell other people what I mean, but I can't guarantee that others will believe your reason. This is the choice of millions of Slavs. Give me three days. No matter what, I will give you an answer!" (To be continued...)
