The Templar Order's response was earlier than Nadia had imagined. In fact, as she prepared to present her case to the Supreme Council, the Templar's reply to the negotiations had already been passed to Nadia again through the Word Paper, and Nadia had a complicated expression after reading the Templar's reply.

"What's wrong? Nadia Paladin? ”

Looking at Nadia's frowning appearance in front of her, Oldman was worried in his heart, could it be that the Templar Order was planning to withdraw? If that's the case, then Nadia's worried expression at the moment can give him an answer. But what Oldman didn't expect was that after hearing his inquiry, Nadia hesitated for a moment before answering.

"No, the answer of the Supreme Council is......... Negotiations continue. ”

"Hoo ..............."

Hearing this, Oldman finally breathed a sigh of relief, since the Supreme Council insisted on negotiations, then the most serious situation he imagined would not happen. But even so, his eyes looking at Nadia were full of doubts, after all, the expression of this Miss Paladin just now didn't look like there was nothing wrong.

"Why, then, do you seem unhappy at all?"

"That's ........."

In the face of Oldman's inquiry, Nadia pondered as she pondered as she pondered how to answer this difficult question. Eventually, she hesitated for a moment, but decided to say it directly.

"In fact, it was not we who proposed the continuation of negotiations, but the Pawood family."

"The Pawood family brought it up first? What are they going to do? ”

Although he had been mentally prepared, Oldman was still stunned when he heard this unbelievable answer. He's the same as Nadia. It was thought that after Jenn raised the central issue, the Pawood family was already preparing to stop negotiating. Just like Dellie thought at first. Now that the Free Army for National Salvation has lost its legitimacy in legal theory, the Northern Alliance can directly move south. Then completely defeat the forces of the Free Salvation Army and regain the lost territory.

But what Oldman didn't expect was that the other party was willing to continue negotiations? Which one is this?

Soon, though, Oldman understood.

"The Pawood family has proposed to negotiate with the Templar Order........."

"What?"

Hearing Nadia's relay, Oldman was taken aback. What does it mean to negotiate with the Templar Order? They negotiated with the Templar, but what about the Free Salvation Army? Where is the Free Salvation Army going?

At this moment, Oldman only felt that the world was spinning. He didn't expect it. In the end, things turned out to be like this, and it was supposed to be the Free Salvation Army and the Pawood family to negotiate, with the Templar Order as the third party. But I didn't expect that after only a few days, the situation changed, the Free Salvation Army was kicked aside, and the Templar Order actually became the core of the negotiations, how could things have become like this?

"Nadia Paladin, what the hell is going on?!"

Thinking of this, Oldman couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied when he looked at Nadia, after all, he was from a militia. Talking about politics is not as precise as Dellie. For Dai Li, politics itself is a winding mountain road, maybe the time takes longer, or the route taken is a little different. But no matter how many laps you make, as long as you can get around your destination smoothly, it's a victory. Any shrewd politician must learn to compromise and exchange interests. And grasp the big and let go of the small, and put aside the controversy. Take this as an example. The Pawood family wanted to fight first for their own interests, and then for the interests of the Northern Alliance. But the other way around. If they had to choose one or the other, the Pawood family would give up some of their own interests to fight for the interests of the Northern Alliance. Because this political resource is also interest-bearing, and someone else borrows usury from them, then there will be a day when the loan will be repaid. This is also an investment for the Pawood family. Sometimes, it's also a good idea to move backwards. That's why they'd rather let Jenn be the leader than let the negotiations get a complete stalemate.

But Oldman was only born as a militia after all, and he couldn't accept the truth that a noble lady like Dai Li naturally understood. This is also a disadvantage of these people who come from a reckless background, who trust their feelings more than they are rational. In their eyes, a friend is a friend, and an enemy is an enemy. Therefore, they are quite unaccustomed to the behavior of the nobles who talk and laugh in front of them and stab them in the back, but for any kind of communication involving the superiors, this is a must. Therefore, after learning that his Free Salvation Army had been kicked away, Oldman's first reaction was to be dissatisfied with the Templar Order. In his opinion, if it weren't for the strength of the Templar Order, their Free Salvation Army would not have been in the current situation.

"This is the Pawood family's choice, and the Templar Order has to accept it."

Of course, Nadia sensed Oldman's thoughts, but she didn't say much, so she could only sigh helplessly and answer. In fact, after spending so much time with Oldman, Nadia has also noticed some of Oldman's problems. Frankly, Oldman is a good fit to be the banner of the Free Salvation Army, he is self-disciplined, sincere, loves and hates, and is passionate. It is very suitable to become a candidate for the category of "XXX-style hero" or "XXX-style best pacesetter".

However, just as the duties of generals and military advisors are different, Oldman also has an unsatisfactory side, and the opposite of love and hate is to leave no room for life. All he hates are his enemies, and all he likes are his friends. And Nadia discovers that Oldman's desire to control is actually very strong. In fact, to be fair, the reason why the Free Salvation Army can have this level of power is not because of how strong Oldman is, but because he has been doing what James arranged before his "death". This is also the good side of Oldman's heavy feelings, you must know that in the National Salvation Free Army, James was no less limelight than him. With other conceited commanders, maybe after James's "death" will try to overturn all the plans he has made. But Oldman did not do this, but conscientiously followed James's plan to the limit perfectly, so that the Free Salvation Army was able to do it now.

It's a pity that James is not an omniscient god after all, and he can always give Oldman guidance and help, so when Oldman completed the task according to James's instructions, he found that he didn't know what to do next.

For example, it's like a person who saves money to buy a car, and instead of starting with the lowest-grade sedan, he picks up garbage and saves a Bugatti. And when he got this luxury sports car with his eyebrows raised, he looked around and realized that although everyone was said to be on four wheels, how could they run......... This is also exquisite!

Now Oldman is like a rookie driver who drives a luxury sports car directly after riding a bicycle, and it is a miracle that he drove the car of the National Salvation Army crookedly and did not hit the side of the road and overturned.

"But are you Templars still afraid that the Pawood family will not succeed?"

"We are indeed not afraid of a certain nobleman, but what we have to face is the aristocratic class on the entire continent!"

After going through so much, Nadia has also become a lot more mature. Some of what Jenn had said to her before, which sounded harsh at the time, made sense in retrospect. When she was a probationary paladin, Nadia might not have been able to understand the Supreme Council's decision, but now, she found herself able to put herself in the Order's shoes.

Perhaps, some things are really not rushed.

"So what about our Free Salvation Army?"

Oldman doesn't usually be so impulsive, but now, he has to. In fact, Oldman is not stupid, he knows very well that if the two sides of this negotiation kick their own Free Salvation Army away, then they will really become garbage with no use value.

Perhaps Oldman can't see the general trend too highly, but he still has a keen sense of smell for the immediate stakes.

"I can't help it."

Nadia could only tell the truth, she was a paladin of the Templar Order after all, and she was the representative of the Templar Order here. Although Jenn completely disrupted their original layout, Nadia had no other choice at the moment. However, she came up with a good idea.

"Still, I think you can talk to Miss Tillise."

"Tillise?"

Hearing Nadia's answer, Oldman was obviously a little puzzled, but fortunately he was not really a fool. In the blink of an eye, Oldman immediately reacted, and then smashed his fist hard.

"yes, why didn't I think of it?!!"

It is true that, as Nadia said, the Templars have their own concerns, but Tilis is different from the Enclave behind her. Although the Templar Order also provided a lot of assistance to the Free Salvation Army, it was not comparable to the Enclave, as they spent almost a lot of money, equipment, food, and material support on the Free Salvation Army. If the Free Salvation Army is finished, the most unlucky person will not be Oldman, but the Enclave!

Although I don't know what this force wants to do, but it can come up with so much money, it must have an extremely powerful background, if it can rely on this background, maybe there is a chance for the Free Army to save the country! After all, it can be regarded as contributing a lot to the Free Salvation Army, and if the Free Salvation Army falls, then the amount of money spent by the Enclave is basically a waste of everything.

And this is definitely not what the other party wants to see.

"Thank you, Nadia Paladin, I'll go now!!"

Thinking of this, Oldman also became more and more excited the more he thought about it, he hurriedly confessed, and then rushed out of the room quickly. Looking at Oldman's distant back and the shaking door, Nadia frowned and opened her mouth to say something, but in the end, Nadia still didn't say anything, just sighed helplessly. At this time, for some reason, Nadia suddenly felt a little regretful.

Perhaps, I shouldn't have made this suggestion myself. (To be continued.) )
