Chapter 57
Many years ago, a brave man led this group of magic-proficient mages to work hard to create a magic communication system that is barely useful. After years of development, this system can barely conduct simple long-distance information exchange. However, because the system is too complex, the cost of using it is too high, and there are too few people who can afford it, this communication system similar to radio and telegraph can only be opened in various cities like the Telegraph Bureau.
When Linda returned to her bedroom in panic, Antoine II, who was far away in the capital of the King of Bischberg, was woken up by her secretary and received the news from Avalon City.
When the eldest prince Abna Bischberg received the order to immediately meet the king, left under the lovers and hurried outside the palace, a table falling from the sky hit his head.
Abner just looked at the familiar table and knew it was from his father's bedroom at a glance. When he was young, his father liked to let him stand on this table, help him put on his small and delicate leather armor, and then put it on his shoulder to play horseback and war games.
Later, the game became a game between him and his younger brother About Bischberg and his father. They sat on the shoulders of their father one by one and one by one and attacked one by one.
Until one time Antoine II accidentally made his two sons' foreheads hit the door frame at the same time.
Abner did not react in any special way, but suddenly accelerated his pace and walked forward. The flying table passed through the afterimage behind him and hit the ground without even touching his hair.
Immediately afterwards, another dark shadow flew out of the broken window.
The black shadow adjusted his figure in the air and then landed gracefully on the right front of Abna.
The figure bowed ninety degrees to Abna and said, "The master is waiting for the eldest prince in the dormitory. General Yusbach has arrived."
Abner left after a "hmm" from his throat.
This man was a slave of Antoine II and his secretary. These loyal slaves were loyal to their master Antoine II, and were Antoine II's capable assistant.
Abner would not be foolish enough to get close to these slaves. In the eyes of others, who knows if you want to make some attempts against the king through them.
If he really wants to do this, first of all, the slaves will be executed, and then his eldest prince will be given an order from Antoine II to charge against Duke Redkin's army alone with a rolling pin.
When Abna heard that the commander of the Imperial Guards Army, Yusbach, came over, he couldn't help but step up.
If you need to call the commander of the Imperial Guard overnight, something extremely serious must have happened. Either a rebellion or an invasion by foreign enemies.
However, what he most hopes is that his three younger brothers plot to rebel, and then they are discovered at the same time, and then they are caught and dealt with. However, he knew that this was naturally his own delusion. The three of them were so stupid that they had no chance to compete with him.
The gate of the king's dormitory was full of guards, and the roar of Antoine II came out of the bedroom.
After Abner tidied up his clothes and confirmed that there were no traces of lipstick kiss marks on his body, he walked into the bedroom.
Antoine II was sitting on the edge of the bed, the only intact furniture in the bedroom. He was asking Yusbach at this time: "If we join forces with the Kingdom of Rebach to fight Redkin, how much military victory will there be?"
Yusbach hesitated for a moment and said, "Now the autumn harvest has begun. We can only recruit lords from various territories to fight after the autumn harvest is over."
"I received information three hours ago that the Imperial Guards of the Kingdom of Fillingen have begun to move south on the grounds that they have arrested criminal gangs involved in trafficking."
"Information obtained two hours ago, the Elf Royal Court fleet on the river is concentrating on the port of the Kingdom of Visma. It is said that a large-scale joint water rescue drill will be conducted with the Royal Visma fleet."
At this time, Antoine II had calmed down. After learning that Duke Redkin, his old opponent suddenly appeared on the territory of the Kingdom of Fillingen, his intuition told himself that Duke Redkin must have reached some kind of agreement with the Kingdom of Fillingen.
Issuing the Imperial Guard to arrest the criminal gang? The genius believed in the excuse that Barnet I made.
As long as the Kingdom of Bischberg goes to war with Duke Redkin in the east, the guards in the northwest will definitely pursue the fugitives and pursue them into the territory of Bischberg.
There are also the Elf King Court and the Kingdom of Visma in the south. The joint drill they conducted will definitely block the port of Bischberg in the south.
Fortunately, there is no movement in the Kingdom of Biberah in the northeast, but it is hard to say when there is any movement in several other places.
Although Yusbach did not say it clearly, the meaning was obvious and he could not win.
Abner listened carefully. Although he didn't understand the specific cause, he was already sure that Duke Redkin was going to cause trouble and build momentum for his crowning in a few years.
Antoine II handed Abuna a piece of parchment that was almost broken. After taking it, Abuna couldn't help but take it and take a breath.
No wonder my father was so irritable. Every such condition was unacceptable to him.
Antoine II said to Abner: "You can take the griffin to Avalon City immediately after you wait, and the negotiations with Redkin will be handed over to you. At the same time, you bring a team of griffin knights and tell the Kingdom of Fillingen that we are not easy to mess with."
Abner took on the task, and then he waited for his father to draw the bottom line of negotiations.
Nearly ten minutes later, Antoine II said to Abner: "Allen cannot die, land cannot be cedes, money can be given appropriately, Linda...ah..."
After a while, Antoine II continued, "Linda cannot be wronged."
Then Antoine II stood up, stretched out his hands and patted Abner on the shoulder at the same time, and whispered: "Five years, Abner, Bischberg, will take at least five years."
"It will be as you wish!" Abner replied.
The next morning, Abna Bischberg, who had just arrived in Avalon City, went to the "Dragon Gate Hotel" where Duke Redkin stayed, regardless of the fatigue of the journey.
Duke Redkin then held closed-door consultations with Prince Abner Bischberg.
While shooting five tables, the two sides fully exchanged views.
Four of the tables were broken by Abner when he slapped the table in order to support his momentum. Anyway, Duke Redkin, who lives here, will be the one who will lose money.
The first article was that the execution of the fourth prince was not mentioned again, and neither of them wasted time on impossible things.
The second cedes of land compensation is actually the focus of Duke Redkin.
On the northern continent, all rivers flow from north to south into the river.
However, in the eastern north of the Red King Kingdom, the Great Green Mountains are divided between the prairie and the farming area, which makes it impossible for the rivers flowing through the Red King Kingdom to allow merchant ships to approach the prairie, and the roads in the mountains are far less easy to walk on than the maple forests to the west.
In the west of the Kingdom of Bischberg, there are several rivers that originate from maple forests. From the river upstream, you can directly reach the maple forest area where the prairie meets the prairie in the north, and then pass through the easy-to-go maple forest and enter the prairie.
The Redkins conquered the land of the Kingdom of Bischberg all the way westward. One of the major goals was to seize a waterway that could enter the Kingdom of Bischberg from south to north without passing through the Kingdom of Bischberg and reach the edge of the maple forest.
Now they are still one or two kilometers away from this waterway on the map, but later the prince of the Rebach Kingdom was no longer able, which made Duke Redkin shift his focus to the country.
After each of them broke a table, Duke Redkin finally reached a consensus with Abner. Redkin gave up his territorial requirements and instead obtained permission for any merchant ship with the Redkin family's arms to sail on this river without duty-free sailing on this river for ten years, during which the Kingdom of Bischberg was not allowed to intercept for various reasons. However, he could not transport troops on this river with various excuses.
After this agreement was concluded, Abner breathed a sigh of relief. Duke Redkin temporarily got the water passage he wanted, and his westward advance was not so strong during the period when the agreement came into effect.
On the next issue of Linda's marriage, Abner broke two tables.
Abner, on the grounds that Linda is still young, required the engagement ceremony and wedding to be held after Linda turns 18 years.
Duke Redkin just replied, "Which mother was when you were born?"
Then both sides froze.
At this moment, the door of the conference room was kicked open.
"The table is not broken yet, so you don't need to change it." Duke Redkin said subconsciously to the door.
But he saw that the person who came in was not the waiter, but Linda Bischberg in a golden dress.
It was dusk, and the golden sunset was poured into the conference room from outside the door.
The five princes of the Bischberg Kingdom who came stepping on the sunset seemed to be coated with a layer of golden light under the sun.
No one in the conference room expected Linda to make a brilliant debut at this time.
Linda, with a proud expression, walked to Abner's side, and then slapped the shaking table with a "bang" with both hands.
She said to Duke Redkin in a gentle voice: "Duke Redkin, can I give my own opinions on my own affairs."
The meeting room was silent suddenly inside and outside. Duke Redkin looked up and down at the princess with the look of looking at the enemy for the first time.
"Yes." Duke Redkin said solemnly.
Linda said word by word: "In the next seven years, I will go to the city of knowledge to study. At my birthday party when I turn 14 after the New Year, the Redkins family proposed several candidates for my husband, and I will choose one of them to be engaged. When I turn 18, I will marry him. Before getting engaged, the Duke of Redkins' army cannot cross the current border."
Duke Redkin looked straight at Linda's stubborn eyes with a hint of fear and said, "What if I don't agree?"
Linda also looked into Duke Redkin's eyes and said, "I will stand on the front line with the soldiers of Bischberg. If I win, I will follow the soldiers on my homeland. If I lose, if your country's army wants to step onto the territory of Bischberg, I will step past me first."
At this time, Abner stood up, stood beside Linda, gently patted his sister's trembling hands, and then said to Duke Redkin: "I will stand beside my sister by then."
Duke Redkin continued to look directly at Linda without saying a word.
One minute...two minutes...five minutes...ten minutes...
Just when Linda was about to hold on, Duke Redkin stood up and slapped the table to pieces.
"Okay! I promise you the conditions!"
With the signing of the "Agreement on the Common Navigation and Marriage of the Kingdom of Rebach" (hereinafter referred to as the "Avalon City Agreement", Linda Bischberg's name spread on the mainland for the first time.
Chapter completed!
