Chapter 35 The Trap

When Liliannu said such words, all the Eastern Roman nobles present were stunned. They were not the brave and enterprising nobles who dared to enter the army and fight for wealthy, one by one. Those people are now fighting with the Normans in the army, and they have not seen them come. It is just that the one who called Huan was shouting Huan. The one who was really busy doing things was so busy that they didn't even have the ability to shout.

In this way, after Liliannu's words, the needles fell in the entire palace. When a group of imperial guards held spears, short swords, armor and helmets, piled up in front of the nobles, the cold sweat and saliva were swallowing. The eyes were straightened by no one else.

That's it. This kind of Eastern Roman nobles shouted slogans louder than anyone else. However, it is naturally impossible to really let them go to the battlefield. However, the words have already reached this point. Can you turn 180 degrees and support the negotiations with the Norman Empire? Or you have a stomachache and headache. You have a cold in the past two days. You need to bleed treatment to not go to the battlefield? Can you lick the phlegm you spit out? Can you sit back after the stool you have been slapped?

The nobles of Eastern Rome said: I can.

"In fact, I just thought about it. Now that the empire's people are in decline and its national strength is scarce. It is not a bad thing to temporarily truce with the Normans and recuperate."

"I said that my stomach is a little bloated in the past two days, and it will definitely be in the way if I go to the battlefield..."

"I'm bleeding..."

"I got the disease that I couldn't go to the battlefield."

"That's here..."

In an instant, all kinds of reliable and unreliable reasons sound reliable at first glance but think about it carefully. They said it one by one. All the simple-minded Royal Guard soldiers knew what they were unconventional - how could a thirty-year-old man come to his aunt?!

As a result, within the Eastern Roman Empire, the forces against peace talks disappeared. But this does not mean that Liliannu would really do what Egil wished and really sent a corrupt messenger to negotiate with him. This is similar to bargaining for buying things. In order to get the best interests, a debate is indispensable. In order to gain the upper hand, Egil obviously wanted to end the war quickly, but he looked like he was making things difficult. Liliannu naturally refused to show weakness.

Soon, Liliannu's reply arrived: "The request of sending an envoy can be accepted. But Emperor Norman himself asked to enter Constantinople to negotiate."

Then soon, Egil also replied: "You can enter Constantinople, but you have to bring his 100,000 troops in."

In this way, the two sides argued for several days. Just a matter of negotiation location, they bargained back and forth endlessly. The difference between the asking price between the two sides can be said to be very different. However, the amplitude of each regression must be calculated in millimeters. The hundreds of arrow books consumed every day. The result of the negotiation is zero.

The most disgusting thing was that while talking, Egil became interested. He pretended to be public and private, and handed it over to the Arrow Book. Liliannu also had a short-circuited brain for a while, forgot about the matter, and wrote Egil with a passionate reply. In this way, both of them became addicted to talk. They would mix some private letters into the Arrow Book every day.

Even some boring words like "Have you eaten", "Did you sleep", "What are you doing", "I'm **" must be passed on to each other through the archery books. I'll shoot a letter when I'm fine in the morning, noon and evening. In this way, the serious matter has not been settled, but the personal relationship has made considerable progress. Later archaeologists have verified that the behavior of Egil and Liliannu is the beginning of text messages between boyfriends and girlfriends in later love...

During this period, the battle continued. However, the soldiers on both sides were becoming more and more powerless. After the news of peace talks spread, the soldiers on both sides did not want to die in vain at this time. The daily battle of siege and defending the city seemed to be no different from playing house. The Normans fired two guns, then launched a charge. The Greeks slapped and then retreated. This "country" between the two sides was over.

Under such circumstances, the negotiations between Lilianu and Egil finally became more practical. After a few days of back and forth, the two sides finally set the first issue - that is, the negotiation location was set. It was neither in Constantinople, nor on the Victory of Egil's ship, the Royal Navy. It was five hundred meters away from the walls of Theodosi. It was in the open space between the two armies.

Immediately afterwards, the second question began to discuss inefficiently - who was involved in the negotiations.

At the beginning, Egil proposed very "fairly". Neither side led troops. Just the monarchs of the two countries, namely Egil and Liliannu, each bringing a clerk to record the negotiation content. That's all.

However, Liliannu refused such a seemingly "fair" proposal without thinking. Just kidding, Emperor Norman was a peerless general who was a thousand horses. In Moscow, he won the million-strong army of Mongols in a single battle (continue to omit the 100 guards knights and 4,000 berserkers) and won the million-strong army of the Mongols. Faced with such a person, he would not feel safe even if he brought the army. Meeting alone. What if he couldn't think about it and raped himself first and then killed him?

In this way, the two sides continued to talk, and continued to talk... In the end, the negotiators finally settled. They were still the kings of the two countries, Egil and Liliannu himself. But Egil could only bring one clerk. Liliannu could bring a team of thousands.

September 2, 1014 AD. Egil was dressed in a spotless manner. She was wearing the armor of the Absolute Guardian, wearing the Demon Knife of Tearing Blade of Life, and wearing the devil sword of the Tearing Blade of Life. Sonia, dressed as a clerk, walked out of the barracks to negotiate with Liliannu. Originally, this kind of civilian work should have been handed over to Maria. But Egil felt that it was inappropriate to bring such a dangerous job, so she replaced her position with Sonia. This made Maria feel very dissatisfied. She cried for a long time until Egil fed her.

Egil did follow the agreement and only brought a world-class killer to the place. Liliannu was not vague. Nearly five hundred imperial guards were brought with her. The remaining more than five hundred places were given to the Minotaus clan.

Since the death of the patriarch Minotaurus, the greatest value of these monsters - an unparalleled powerful warrior disappeared. Years of warfare have also reduced their population - especially the number of adult warriors who can fight to a very sad number - a total of more than 500 monsters are already all of their warriors. For these powerful warriors, Liliannu also regarded them as the last trump card. When the battle was not so tense before, they did not let them go to the battlefield.

Of course, these are nothing big. Whether it is the Imperial Guards of Eastern Rome or the Minotaus Minotaus. In front of Egil, who has fully recovered his strength after more than half a year of war, his strength has been completely restored, it is just a dish.

On this day, at nine o'clock in the morning, the only unsealed gate of the fortress on the side of the wall of Theodossi slowly opened. The strongest warriors in Eastern Rome now came out. The queen who was guarding them, dressed in military uniform, wearing a big red cloak, and the same bright red armor, was advancing towards the agreed negotiation location. However, Emperor Norman had been waiting here for a while.

From the day Egil captured Rome and the day when the nations congratulated each other, until now, the two sides have not seen each other for several years. However, both sides still recognized each other as soon as possible. At that time, despite thousands of words, neither Egil nor Liliannu could say it. They just stared at each other in a daze.

In the end, Egil, who had seen more, woke up first - of course, he was silent and Sonia, who had tried his best to pull the corner of his clothes, also made great contributions. After waking up a little, Egil smiled and walked forward, getting closer - However, in front of Liliannu, a group of imperial guards had already arranged a dense square formation, separating Egil and Liliannu, making it impossible for Egil to walk over.

"Since you need to negotiate, why not get closer?" Egil asked helplessly.

After a while, Liliannu returned to normal. The queen coughed slightly unnaturally. Then she pretended not to know Egil. She said in a cold tone of treating strangers: "The Norman Emperor was unparalleled in martial arts. He was single-handed in the array of millions of Tatars, killing the other party's Khan as if he was no one. I feel ashamed of myself. It would be better to keep such a distance."

Hearing Liliannu say this, Egil couldn't help but laugh, and then said to the queen: "I don't want anything I want. The same goes for the women I want. Do you think that just this group of wine bags can block me?"

"I don't know about the wine bag. But I fought outside Constantinople for three months and could not break through the Roman city. But I know this very clearly."

"Indeed." Egil heard Liliannu say this, Egil made a deep thoughtful expression, then smiled and said: "I really can't do it before I come. But I come. My solution comes."

"I really want to use tricks!" After hearing Egil's words, Liliannu's heart skipped a beat. Then he stopped talking. He turned his horse's head and ran wildly in the direction of Constantinople. The five hundred imperial guards also entered a state of war. However, at this moment, the Minotaus monsters guarding Liliannu's side exchanged glances with each other. Then they blocked Liliannu's way to escape!
