In the evening, everyone in Baishuang Shangcheng had dinner. The soldiers lined up to go to the canteen to get food. The conditions of the officers were not much better. Soybean soup, vegetables, pickled meat and two flatbreads were all.
It was a busy day's dinner. Even though the food was terrible, everyone still ate cleanly. The consumption of the day was really too great. Even though there was no fighting, moving materials, and full vigilance, the physical exertion was still huge.
Soldiers need to take turns to change their posts. After meals, the off-duty soldiers gather together in twos and threes and return to the conquered civilian houses to smoke and play cards to pass the time. Of course, they will soon fall asleep from exhaustion.
Ben has been collecting potentially valuable intelligence in the city to a limited extent. She cannot directly contact soldiers and officers to obtain information, otherwise her non-local accent will reveal her identity. It is also not easy for her to pretend to be someone else and wear their clothes.
Walking around the city wearing a military uniform, maybe an officer would ask her to do some work, and then ask her which army she was from. She would not do anything too risky, because what she was doing now was already very
It was a risk, so she had to be more careful.
Now the streets are full of people, and there are patrolling soldiers one after another, and the precautions are very tight. This is to prevent internal problems. A strong fortress can be breached from the inside.
Unable to move freely, she decided to find a place to rest and wait until late at night to come out. She pretended to be disabled, wore the enemy's military uniform and walked to a dark place with few people.
This is a residential area in the city. There are seven or eight rows of three-story buildings here. This kind of residential area seems a bit simple in the place where the dignitaries and nobles of Baishuang Upper City gather. It should be ordinary in the city.
A place where residents, soldiers, and lower-level officials live. It is easy to find a place to rest in such a place.
Sure enough, as soon as I got here, I saw a sneaky middle-aged man coming out of the house carrying a large bag of things, meeting up with others and sneaking to the other end of the street. Such a guy is either a thief who takes advantage of the chaos to make a fortune.
, or a soldier and officer who wanted to leave this dangerous city. She walked straight towards the house. There was no magic circle at the door, and the door was not even locked. She opened it with a slight push...
At the same time, in another country and another place south of Midgard, another group of people were also enjoying a sumptuous dinner.
This is the royal palace of the Storm Country, a splendid palace decorated with a dazzling array of gems and works of art. There are not many officials in the dining palace, but they are all the country's leading bureaucrats and ministers. Beautiful palace dancers and singers.
He played and performed various moving dances and music, and his frivolous clothes mesmerized everyone present.
This was a song and dance banquet, and the banquet was for two guests who had arrived from afar. The Lord of the Storm Kingdom was sitting high on a separate chair at the end of the banquet hall, with beautiful maids serving him on both sides.
When he wanted to drink, a woman held a gold cup studded with gems in her slender hands and brought it to her mouth. When she wanted to eat fruit, another beautiful woman peeled it and offered it to her. But the Lord of the Storm Kingdom never looked at these beautiful women.
Beside him, he looked at the song and dance with a pair of eyes, but the corner of his eyes kept falling on the two guests.
"Two foreign envoys, are you satisfied with the food? Are you satisfied with the singing and dancing?" The Lord of Storm Kingdom's kind and graceful smile, just like his kind and graceful body, does not intimidate people, but is full of kindness.
The two royal envoys sent by Fried smiled and nodded: "We are flattered by the hospitality of the Lord of the Storm Kingdom. Not only did he prepare so many delicacies, but he also invited so many officials and ministers to have fun with us. The kindness of your country,
We have felt it deeply.”
The Lord of the Storm Nation smiled slowly and said: "Our Storm Nation has been established for more than ten thousand years, has been inherited for hundreds of generations, and has a long history. The most important thing is etiquette. The two foreign envoys came thousands of miles away just to submit a peace agreement with our country.
To avoid the scourge of war, how can I, as the Lord of the Storm Kingdom, entertain these two friendly guests?"
The two envoys nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "It's great if the king thinks so. The Hill Country has signed a peace agreement with us, and there will be good news from the Rhine Kingdom soon. Lord, we
Why don’t we just sign the agreement tonight?”
"Hehehe..." The leader of the Storm Kingdom smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's a dinner for two distinguished guests now, we won't talk about business."
The two envoys had no choice but to continue watching the dance under the auspices of the beautiful women.
When the banquet was about to end, an official came and said a few words in the ear of the Lord of the Storm Kingdom. The Lord of the Storm Kingdom waved him down and asked the two envoys: "Did the two guests enjoy the banquet today? If there is anything dissatisfied.
Please speak up if you have any questions, Storm Country will not let any friendly guest feel that we have neglected him."
His envoy kept saying that he was very satisfied, very satisfied.
The Lord of the Storm Kingdom chuckled: "Since we are satisfied, let's get down to business now."
"Okay." The envoy said: "Sign the important agreement as soon as possible so that we can have more fun in your country."
The leader of the Storm Nation said: "You said you came to hand over peace, but I don't know who is on the other side of the agreement. The last signature couldn't be the word 'pirate', right?"
The envoy said: "We are just here to negotiate. When the agreement is formally signed, the leader of the country will naturally know which party is submitting peace to you."
The Lord of the Storm Kingdom shook his head: "This is so insincere. You can't buy real peace by being sneaky, and people who don't even want to reveal their true identities can't gain valuable trust."
The two envoys hesitated for a moment, discussed in a low voice, then raised their heads and said: "The one who wants to make peace with the Storm Kingdom is the 'Creation King Power'. This is our identity."
"Oh, then who is your leader?"
"At that time, Marshal Kia Fried will come in person to sign an agreement with the king and the monarch of the Rhine." The messenger said: "The king should have heard of the marshal's name. I don't know if the king is satisfied with his status and weight."
?”
"Of course my little Storm Nation has heard of the name Kya Freed. With his status in Saint Vicoia, we in the Storm Nation will never dare to take him lightly. He is here.
Signing an agreement with our Storm Country is of sufficient weight."
The two envoys looked at each other and smiled, then continued: "We have conveyed the terms of the agreement to the king during the day. If there is nothing to add, can we finalize this matter?"
"'Creation Kingship'?" Lord Storm Kingdom nodded Ruosi and ignored them. After a while, he looked at the two envoys and smiled slightly, clapped their hands, and the singer dancing in the banquet hall,
The dancer quickly retreated, and a group of soldiers rushed in with guns and swords, surrounding the two royal envoys.
The two envoys were startled and asked: "Master, what do you mean?"
"It's no fun, I'll send you on your way."
"Wait a minute!" The messenger stopped the soldiers who were about to take action and asked the king: "Lord of the Storm Kingdom, we are here to exchange for peace and to end the war. Why are you doing this?"
"End the war? No, no, no, no, you brought the war in the first place. You brought the war, and then you said it would end the war. Don't you think this agreement is too hypocritical?" The Lord of the Storm Kingdom leaned on the high back chair.
, put his hand on the cold and smooth armrest. Every word he said was very calm, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him. The matter definitely had nothing to do with him, because the person waiting to be killed was not him, he
Just a spectator.
The envoy said angrily: "Our war only ends at Midgart. Zhengguo did not want to expand the war between the Storm Kingdom and the Rhine Kingdom, so he sent us to negotiate. Lord of the Storm Kingdom, please don't misunderstand the meaning. Negotiation
Peace is not because we don’t have the ability to fight, but because we have the ability to dare to negotiate. If you make the wrong decision, you will be the one who regrets it.”
The Lord of the Storm Kingdom looked at them and said: "Are you warning the Storm Kingdom or threatening the Storm Kingdom? I might as well tell you something. The envoy you sent to the Rhine Kingdom has been killed, and the person who proposed to kill the envoy is the Lord of the Country.
Me." The Lord of the Storm Kingdom's smile was still so kind, making people feel close to him. But in the eyes of the two envoys, this smile made their backs shiver.
"You...you...why?" The two envoys were shocked and frightened. They didn't know what the seemingly kind-hearted ruler was thinking in his heart.
"You are about to die, do you still need a reason?" The leader of the Storm Kingdom said: "Then I will give you a reason. Although the Storm Kingdom, the Rhine Kingdom and the Midgart Kingdom have always had wars, but then
It's our family's own business. Speaking of which, the Queen of Midgart is my little sister who is somewhat related by blood, and the King of Rhine is Midgart's nephew. Why am I still standing when I see a group of pirates coming to invade the land of my relatives?
Are you applauding the pirates from the side? I wonder if this is enough for the two envoys? If not, I can make up another one, or two, three, four or five, until you are satisfied."
The two envoys looked at this man wearing a crown, with a gray beard and a square face, and at the banquet that had not yet been dismissed, full of food. They didn't know what to say for a moment: "Then you... why are you hosting today's dinner...
…”
The Lord of the Storm Kingdom chuckled and said: "I said that the Storm Kingdom values hospitality to its guests. You have come all the way. As the Lord of the Kingdom, of course I must do my best. Now that I have exhausted all my efforts, of course it is time to kill you."
"Wait a minute!" an envoy shouted: "If the two sides are fighting, they will not kill the envoy. We are here as envoys. Even if the king does not agree to peacefully coexist with the 'Creation King Power', he can just let us go back. That shouldn't be the case."
Kill us both."
The Lord of the Storm Nation thought for a while: "What you said makes sense. The two sides really shouldn't kill the envoys when they are fighting. Killing you will be of no use to the war."
The two envoys felt a little relieved.
Unexpectedly, the leader of the Storm Kingdom changed his tone: "But I don't want to be reasonable. Your army marched from the west coast to the Kingdom of Midgart without being reasonable. Reasons are expressed in terms of strength. You want to say not to kill the envoy."
, let’s talk about strength. Take action!”
As soon as he said "do it", the surrounding soldiers swung their swords at the two envoys and killed them. Since these two people were sent as envoys, they naturally had some strength. Seeing that the other party insisted on their own lives, they both tried their best to fight to the death.
One fight. Two guardian monsters broke out of the light formation, and the banquet hall that had been filled with beautiful songs and dances suddenly turned into a fighting arena.
"Oh, these two people are not weak." The leader of the Storm Kingdom commented above.
The two envoys were injured, but their will to survive allowed them to show their power and actually forced more than 20 guards to close. But now they can still protect themselves, but they have to escape from the heavy guards at the door.
Impossible. One person's thoughts changed and he stared at the aloof Lord of the Storm Kingdom: "Capture the Lord!"
The companions next to them understood, and the two immediately rushed towards the Lord of the Storm Kingdom. With a magic move and a short blade, they were about to force themselves in front of the Lord of the Kingdom in the blink of an eye. At this moment, a wide silver-black armor blocked in front of them.
The magic hit the armor without any pain or itching, and the short sword was blocked by a wide iron hand without even getting close.
"Die!" A man who was wearing heavy armor and couldn't see his face made a move very quickly. He grabbed the two messengers with two big hands like chickens. He hit his head and his brains were all over the floor and splashed all over him.
.The body lay limp on the ground.
Look at the two ferocious monsters. After losing their masters, they became even more crazy. However, under the swords and axes of the soldiers, they only resisted in vain, and were finally chopped into a puddle of flesh.
The Lord of the Storm Kingdom looked at the two dead bodies and the white and red brains on the ground, and showed disgust: "It's a good banquet turned into this, which makes people unhappy. Clean it up, I don't want to smell a fishy smell tomorrow.
"
The maids on both sides had already turned pale with fright. This was the first time they had seen such a thing, and their bodies were shaking like chaff. At the scene, an official wearing a colorful tail robe and a top hat walked out.
He bowed and saluted and said: "My lord, you can go and have a rest. I will leave this matter to my subordinates and the deputy lord."
"Fuge, I'll leave it to you." The Lord of the Storm Kingdom raised his arms and left the banquet hall with the support of the maids.
