Chapter 169: A Deal
After the war, there was billowing smoke everywhere in the fortress of Wilcot, but not around the central castle of the fortress of Wilcot, because after the war was at its worst, the Michael army finally chose to surrender en masse, otherwise Andrit would not be in the fortress, and would meet the person Sun Lin asked him to capture in this battle and promise to ensure his personal safety before receiving news from him.
"Duke Wilcott, the head of the 5 Dukes of the Mishal Empire, owns the private territory of Wilcot, and before that, he was hailed as the existence of the most promising existence to become the regent of the Misharid Empire after Novasv's death, am I right, Mr. Carro?" In the spacious and bright living room of the fortress, Andrette sat at one end of the extra-rectangular table, playing with a delicate silver wine glass, and said in a slightly contemptuous tone, while on either side of the rectangular table stood his own guards, of course, two of them were holding an old man sitting opposite Andrett, and let him listen to Andrett as obediently as he could.
The so-called old man, that is, the 5th Duke of the Mishal Empire - Duke Wilcot, is the mastermind who has led the 5 Dukes to secretly check and balance the imperial power of the Mishal Empire for many years, this sentence is not sick, because the previous Dukes of Willcott will annex the Mishal royal family, and make the Mishal Empire become the world of the Willcott family as a lifelong goal, and in this generation, the old man in front of him has proposed "everyone shares the cake, divides up the Mishal Empire together, and makes the Mishal Empire a parliamentary empire" The first person can be said that Duke Wilcott is a thorn in the side of the royal family of the Mishal Empire, but who is called the Duke of Wilcott in the past generations is not only a fox in politics, but also a fox who has mastered the most complete professional soldier training base in the Mishal Empire - Fort Wilcott.
However, the fox will eventually have an old moment, and there will eventually be a failure, just like today, although this old fox in order to protect the strongest hole cards in his hand, he did not hesitate to use all the chess pieces in his hand to bring back the Mishaal soldiers brought back after the defeat of Novasev, all of them stayed in the Willcott fortress to obey their own command, but before the absolute strength, the old fox knew how small he was, but it seems that so far, the old fox is still so calm, Although his own hands and shoulders had been pressed to death, the sly smile on his face had been in a state of fading.
“………… I'm defeated," Duke Wilcot looked at Andrellet opposite with a helpless face after trying to move his body a few times and found that it couldn't work: "But I didn't expect to be defeated so completely, it seems that the military strength of the Sun Never Sets Empire is indeed not comparable to the nominal empire in the remote areas of our King Continent, but ............ I have a question for you, and if you tell me the answer, I'll be happy to answer all the questions you ask. Now I want to know if your empire has mastered the art of steelmaking, tell me, yes or no. As he spoke, Duke Wilcot looked at Andrett quietly with his brown eyes that shimmered.
“………… Who told you? Your intelligence network, your friends of the forest, or ............ Thebes? Endllott asked rhetorically, raising an eyebrow.
"Hehe.......... what do you say? Otherwise, I would have retreated back to the Imperial City with my net worth, although the Wilcot Fortress is the work of the Duke of Wilcot for hundreds of years, but we have always thought that good things need to be enjoyed by life............... Well, okay, don't look at me with that kind of look that sees me through, I confess, it was indeed Thebes who told me when he negotiated with me. After the two generals and the members of the guard let go of the old duke's body at the signal of Andelt, the old duke spread his hands innocently and said, "So now, can you answer my question?" You must know that this is not only me and ......... The empire to which the sun never sets, to which I will be loyal in the future, is really a secret sign for the beginning of negotiations, and a prerequisite to which I have very much agreed, Mr. Andert. ”
"Humph! Old fox! After tying you to the Empire's chariot, you will always be a loyal old dog in the future Michael of the Empire! Andert scolded in his heart, but replied with a calm expression on his face: "Indeed, our empire on which the sun never sets has indeed mastered the art of steelmaking, so what about the conditions we proposed before?" ”
"Hehe, does Andrget have a map of the Mishaal Empire?" The old duke asked with a smile on his face.
"Smack!" Andrette snapped his fingers, and a member of the general's guard on the side immediately took out a map of the Mishaal Empire from his arms. Of course, this map is not a military map, because it does not draw any criteria with the strength and number of troops, and the member of the general's guard did not take out the flag later, but only took out a pencil. This is not a topographical map of the Michaal Empire, because it does not mark any cities, only black lines to distinguish heights.
"Here and here, these 5 places are my first bargaining chips, but after you occupy them all, according to the treaty, I will have the right to mine one of the veins independently, and you must provide me with mining equipment, which is mentioned in the contract." The old duke said after drawing a few large circles on the map with a pencil.
"Can I believe what you say? What if what you give me is fake? Andult began to play with the dagger that stuck inside his thigh armor.
"Don't worry, Your Excellency Sun Lin has already sent several exploration teams to scout those earths before you stormed the fortress of Wilcot, and the information you learned should have been obtained from him, right? That means there's nothing wrong with what I'm saying. The old duke replied: "Forget it, let's not talk about these problems after the fall of the Michar Empire, let's talk about the next plan first......... Say, how many Misharid troops do you need me to attract here. ”
"Of course, the more the merrier, it is better if you can attract all the troops in the Misharid Empire to the fortress of Wilcot."
"It's ............ I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it, you must know that even if the Misharid Empire was defeated twice by the sun never set, and it was a double defeat, the Misharid Empire still has a lot of troops in its hands. ”
"Don't worry, just leave the matter of closing the door and beating the dog to us, and you don't have to be careful about the rest. However, I would like to remind you that you must bring in all of your former allies and allied armies, and that there will be no need for a second mining monopoly merchant in the future Michar Territory. ”
