Realm of Power

"Molorus" Mao Monaqing said with a look of astonishment, "Isn't that a barren coast full of rocks? It is said that it was originally the territory of a small Lord of Lud. We occupied the place, but because it was too deserted and often harassed by pirates, we basically gave up there, leaving only a small fortress with troops. Why does the Grand Duke want that land?"

"Haha, for the Ruidian people, it may be just a barren coast, but for us with coastal trade, it is a rare treasure land." The fat man smiled at the corner of his mouth, and then said excitedly

"I have heard the Hulin people at sea mention it many times, because the towering cliffs on both sides of the bank extend outward, and the concave area forms a natural inner bay, which is where the best port is.

The warships of the Hulin tribe have used it as a supply point many times. As long as they cross the mountainous area on the coast, they can enter the Sargos area in the south of Lod, which is the richest area in the Kingdom of Lod.

I once sent someone to make careful calculations. If we sail north along the western coastline of Wocheze, we can reach this natural inner harbor in three days. This is far shorter than half the time of our land caravan. Fatty's voice After a pause, he said with a look of surprise on his face.

"If we can capture this area, then our trade line in Vikia can quickly cross the Kingdom of Rode and reach the more distant Dorok Mountains. The price of our weapons can easily more than triple there. This But a golden route can be born."

"Your Majesty's vision is indeed unique. I'm going to draft the document right now. I believe the Ruidian people will definitely agree to this condition. It's a pity that the Ruidian people guard such a treasured land and treat it like a wasteland. It's such a waste." Mao Mo Na Qing suddenly realized, stood up from her seat and said goodbye.

After sending Mao Monaqing away, Fatty heard Hu Keqili's voice ringing outside the tent.

"Grand Duke, the Kugits of Turga City sent a special envoy. Lord Lidakus, who is in charge of handling affairs, temporarily placed the envoy in Usa City, fifty miles away from here, and specially sent someone to send it overnight. Ask for instructions"

"The Kugits came so fast." The fat man took a deep breath and frowned. Although the western grassland is the territory of the Zuowei tribe, it still belongs to the Kugit royal court of Turga in name. Sending a special envoy at this time is obviously not a good thing.

"Do you know who is coming this time?" The fat man took off the armor from the hanger, turned around and asked in a deep voice.

"It's the new Kugit foreign affairs officer, Commander-in-Chief Kuretfei," Hu Keqili responded with a respectful look, "Sir Lidakus said that this Kugit envoy has a very bad temper, and he turned to our Wikia as soon as he came. Filed a solemn protest, saying that we and the Ruidian people are intruders on this prairie, and asked us to immediately return to the original border, otherwise it will be like us declaring war."

"Haha, these Kujit people are indeed wolves. Their scars have healed and they have forgotten the pain." The fat man sneered a few times. "If we hadn't blocked the Ruidian army, Turga City would have been in flames of war." The city is already there, who still has the strength to run to me and call out?”

"Yes, my subordinates almost wanted to kick this special envoy out on the spot, but Lidakus believes that no matter what, this is the last moment of the decisive battle between us and the Ruidian army. Any improper handling may affect the entire battle situation. It will have a negative impact, so I deliberately imprisoned this arrogant guy and waited until the war was over before reporting to the Grand Duke for his decision."

"This seems a bit like what Lidakus did." The fat man opened the curtain of the tent, walked out, and handed a military order to Hu Keqili who was waiting outside the door.

"Immediately send someone to hand this over to Lidakus and tell him that no matter how this matter is handled, I don't see this special envoy. If the Kujit people have the ability, let them come to the western grasslands on their own. But then it will be Don’t blame me for the sharp edge of my Vekia sword.”

"Yes, I understand." Hu Keqili nodded excitedly,

After a while, Hu Keqili, who had just left, came back with a strange look on his face. He hesitated outside Fatty's tent, as if he had something difficult to say.

"What's wrong? Is Hu Keqili, who is known as the enemy of ten thousand people, afraid of entering my military tent?" A muffled groan came from inside, which made Hu Keqili tremble. He quickly opened the curtain of the tent and walked in, putting his right hand on On the chest, he respectfully saluted "Grand Duke"

"Did Kujit come again?" The fat man squatted on the ground and used the wooden stick in his hand to pick up the brazier in the middle of the tent, letting the red flames emerge from the black coals and heating the entire tent. ,

"How does the Grand Duke know?" Hu Keqili half-knelt on the ground, holding a long object wrapped in yellow cloth in his hand. His face looked like a dye shop, as if he had seen a ghost, and he said in panic

"Just now, the patrol captain at the camp gate came to report that a Kugit man who claimed to be an old friend of the Grand Duke Yunzhong City asked to see the Grand Duke. His subordinates took a look and found that it was Duo Weiyan, the former Kugit foreign affairs officer. He He also brought something with him and asked me to hand it over to you in person. He said that he was here to ask for something on behalf of your old friend in Yunzhong City. The subordinate remembered your Lord’s instructions just now and didn’t dare to report it for a while.”

"Oh, what is it?" The fat man stood up curiously and took the long package from Hu Keqili's hand. His hand suddenly stopped in mid-air, his face changed slightly, as if he was holding red-hot charcoal to prick his hand.

"Go ahead, let Duo Weiyan come in to see me." After a while, the fat man waved to the panicked Hu Keqili and put the long package in his hand on the table. This thing is so familiar. The circles of spiral touch through the wrapping cloth are obviously the handle of an object. The strips at the end are obviously a whip.

"Calculate the time, the deadline of this month is almost up. This woman is really anxious." The fat man sighed helplessly.

"Grand Duke, may the Eternal Heaven bless you forever." A thin Kugit followed Hu Keqili into the tent and bowed to the fat man. The unique strong breath of the Kugit people came to his face.

"This guy is more and more like a lone wolf on the grassland."

The fat man glanced at Duo Weiyan and narrowed his eyes. For some reason, the fat man felt more and more that in this young Kugit noble. A "wolf nature"

It was an intuition. This young generation of Kugit, who had been pampered, was growing at a speed that made people look at them in the continuous crisis.

"Are you here to negotiate?" The fat man asked knowingly, and asked in a deep voice

"Disrespectful Grand Duke, I am no longer a member of the Turga Royal Court" Duo Weiyan's face turned pale, and then he raised his head and said firmly, "My Duowei tribe has always been the entourage tribe of Queen Aichemoer. According to the previous agreement between the Grand Duke and the master, I am here to fulfill my promise to the adults."

"Promise" The fat man was stunned. He could no longer remember what agreement he had with Queen Aichemoer.

Seeing the fat man's puzzled look, Duo Weiyan's performance was even more strange. His face turned red and white, and suddenly he knelt down on his knees in front of the fat man, and bowed down to the ground with his whole body

"From today, my Duoyan tribe will be affiliated with the Grand Duke of Falcon, and I will offer Aichemoer City to the Grand Duke."
