Chapter 640: Crushing the Husband
Pertheus's words were very realistic, not only expressing the same blood and unanimous recognition to the outside world, but also not denying the independence of the desert forces, and still conducting dialogue in a cooperative way.
It can be seen that Fox is very comfortable talking like this, she leans back in her chair, her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and quickly gets straight to the point: "I want 100 boxes of such jewels on the table, and take them to reward the soldiers under my command." β
There are many places in Doguland, so many mines, and thousands of craftsmen, and there are as many such jewels as there are, and Pertheus does not make a counteroffer: "Deal." β
But apparently, Foxlit's conditions did not stop there, she continued: "In this war, our Oasis stronghold has been dealt a very bad blow, and the supply lines have been shattered. Dogurand wants to share the logistics system with the desert, and all the heavy grain and grass will be funded by you. β
To be honest, this condition is a bit parasitic, and few generals are happy to use their own food and grass to feed other people's soldiers.
But anyway, it's only temporary, after the battle, they will go back to their respective homes, and the two sides want to cooperate deeply, they must show some sincerity, Perseus just paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Deal." β
Foxlit's conditions still don't stop there: "The Battle of Bloody Sands, coupled with this invasion of the Far East, caused heavy losses to my tribal warriors, and after the war ended, we signed a non-aggression pact for at least ten years to recuperate. β
This condition did not even need to be specifically mentioned by Foxlet, Perseus had already thought of it.
If you want the desert to become a natural barrier to Dogulland, the desert power must not be too strong, otherwise it will become another threat, but it must not be too weak.
If the desert forces are too weak, then there is no point in becoming a barrier at all.
Ten years of mutual non-aggression and recuperation, which can not only reduce the pressure on the border defense of Doguland, but also allow the desert forces to take a breath, which can be said to be a win-win situation.
Without hesitation, Pertheus agreed: "Deal." β
Fox Lit: "There's one last condition. β
Bolton was not as calm as Pertheus, he only felt that the other party was constantly opening conditions, and he was too domineering, and couldn't help but scold: "Why do you talk so much nonsense about this woman?" Grab an opportunity to reap the benefits like crazy, right? You'd better give Lao Tzu a little restraint! β
As soon as Bolton finished speaking, the back of his head was slapped on the back of Perseus's head, and he stopped talking.
Pertheus raised his chin at Foxlit and gestured to continue.
Foxlight blinked, stretched out her slender finger, and pointed at Bolton: "This man is engaged to me to be my husband." β
"Cheng..."Perseus just blurted out subconsciously, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, and was stunned for a moment, "What are you talking about??? β
Burton was also stupid, and slapped the table directly: "You dare to humiliate Lao Tzu?!" β
Perseus stretched out his hand and asked with a strange expression, "It's a joke, isn't it?" β
Fox Rit snorted coldly, with a very serious look in her eyes: "Who is joking with you, is this the occasion for joking?" β
"It's not... Father, this? Bolton was dumbfounded, speechless.
Obviously, this matter was not expected by Pertheus at all, and he was also stunned, and after a long silence asked, "I don't quite understand, why do you mention such a condition?" β
Fox Lit: "Nothing special, I'm 29 years old, and for the sake of the future of the desert, I need to start thinking about the issue of heirs." My husband had to be a strong enough man for me to approve of, and the dardans in the tribe didn't meet my criteria for choosing a mate. β
At this point, Foxlight pointed to Bolton again: "This man has defeated me on the battlefield, and is a rare warrior, and is qualified to be my husband. β
Bolton was already dumbfounded, he had only heard of pie in the sky, and he had not heard of his wife falling in the sky, and he was not mentally prepared at all.
Moreover, most generals like Bolton are a bit macho, and you say that if you are engaged, you will be engaged? Why do you want to suppress your husband? He immediately couldn't help it, and scolded angrily: "What are you kidding! Lao Tzu will not marry a woman 3 years older than me! Father, get her away, there's no more to talk about! β
Foxlit's eyes lit up, and she sneered and said, "Even the most fierce Dadan in the tribe doesn't dare to speak to me like this. Man, you managed to get my attention. King Pertheus, this is your son, and you call the shotsβto give it to me, or not to give it. β
Pertheus is now one head and two older, Solandelle was favored by the archbishop of the Crimson Church when he was very young, and he made a secret marriage contract with Mimorro, and now Foxlight has a crush on Bolton again, and his children are so sought-after?
If it were to change to someone else who was not so important, Pertheus would have made a decision directly, but Bolton had a special identity, he was the seventh prince of Doguland, and he was a general in the army, and the engagement was not child's play.
In such a short period of time, Perseus could not weigh the pros and cons, so he could only persuade with good words: "That's it, the first three conditions are fine, I agree to them all." This fourth condition... Let's take it slowly... I can't make such a hasty decision about the marriage contract, I'll write it down first, and then discuss the matter slowly between the two of you after the battle is over. β
Burton was so anxious that his face was red: "No! What to discuss! Father, I don't marry this woman! β
Fox Lit: "If you don't marry me, who are you marrying?" β
Burton's eyes widened and he choked back: "With no one and not with you!" Can't I find a noble daughter? β
"Huh." Foxlit smiled disdainfully and said arrogantly, "The noble daughter who is more powerful and stronger than me, can you find one for me to see?" β
"Sick! This woman is definitely sick in the brain! Bolton couldn't sit still, and left directly, not stopping to say cruelly, "Don't tie it!" Say nothing and don't end it! If you love to help in this battle, you will help, if you don't help, you will go to the court to crown your king, anyway, Lao Tzu will not end! β
After Bolton left, there were only three people left in the conference room, along with Percius and Chino.
Perseus had a sad face, he glanced at Chino next to him, intentionally or unintentionally, and tentatively asked Foxlit, "Or, do you consider considering this?" β
Chino: "? β
Foxlit glanced at Chino and nodded approvingly, but quickly withdrew her gaze: "Chino van Helsing, Twilight Death... His other conditions are very good, I am very satisfied, but he is too beautiful to meet my aesthetics, I prefer the one just now. β
Chino: "..."
Perseus kept scratching his head, and his tone was very perfunctory: "Besides, let's talk about it... The big war is imminent, and it is not suitable to discuss the matter of marriage, as I said, I will write it down first, and then discuss it after the battle is over. β
"Yes, I'll ask for someone when the time comes." Fox Rit did things very simply, directly took the holy decree of the king and burned it, threw it to the ground, and strode out of the conference room, it should be back to prepare his army.
After Foxlit left, Perseus leaned back in her seat and rubbed her temples, "I should have had a few more children..."
Chino was silent for a moment and asked, "I heard, you sent Solandale to the Frozen Fortress?" β
Perseus looked up at the window and nodded, "A workout... She should have arrived. β
