Chapter 156 Prelude to the Storm
“Of course not!”
After saying this righteously, he faced the questioning gaze of the Lord of Liuyue City.
Anthony was a little embarrassed and said:
“Of course I can’t say it’s not the case at all! But I assure you, that goal is just incidental and dispensable!”
After hearing what Anthony said, the Lord of Liuyue City put a serious face on his face and put the tip of his sword down on the ground. After thinking for a while, he reluctantly nodded in approval.
Then, he asked: "But how do you expect me to believe you? You guys fought all the way to the gate of Liuyue City in such a furious manner, it doesn't look like they are here to negotiate at all!"
Anthony smiled and said: "You can rest assured about this. We can write the obligations that both parties need to fulfill into the contract. In this way, you don't have to worry about me lying, right?"
The Lord of Liuyue City again After thinking for a while, he nodded and said:
"Okay, but I think we still need to talk about your recruitment of soldiers in the chaotic zone!"
Seeing that the negotiation had made initial "progress", Anthony pointed to the rain of arrows that were still flying in the distance and said:
"You should ask your subordinates to stop attacking first. My legion has not counterattacked. Wait. If it gets really heated, it will be very troublesome to stop it. After all, the matters we are negotiating cannot be made public. "
...
Brand's side, originally. He was observing the overall situation from the "wounded seat" of the logistics unit.
But I watched the soldiers of the Sixth Infantry Regiment and the bandits of Liuyue City confront each other outside the city.
With his eyes open, Anthony was also negotiating with the city lord of Liuyue City to "fight the match-fixing".
Looking at Liuyue City in the distance with its gates wide open.
Brand's mind changed and he "set off" with Catherine.
But this is only two steps forward.
Yersen, who had been paying attention to Brand, also followed up openly.
After being discovered, without waiting for Brand to say anything, Yersin said first:
"Take me with you, I also want to go to Liuyue City to see something!"
Listen When Yersin said this, Brand felt helpless.
Sometimes Yersin’s perception is particularly keen!
He just glanced at the gate of Liuyuecheng a few times, and he guessed what he was going to do.
Although it’s not a big problem to bring one more person, there are still some things that need to be agreed upon first:
“I can take you there, but you can’t compete with me for the loot!”
Listen to Bran When De said this, Yersen's eyes brightened.
Based on his understanding of Brand, since Brand said so, there is a high probability that there is really something good!
Of course, Yersin had no intention of taking away his brother’s spoils.
After all, this time there was a high probability that he was just going around for a while without any contribution, and he was too embarrassed to share the spoils!
After seeing Yersen nodding in approval, Brand said no more.
After leading the two of them to the blind spot of other people's vision, the magic power in his body rushed towards the bracelet on his wrist that Celine gave him.
Then, waves of water surrounded the three of them.
In the blink of an eye, they disappeared under the sunset.
At this time, the three people were in sight.
They are surrounded by a layer of ever-changing transparent spherical partitions.
Brand reminded aloud: "Be careful not to stay too far away from me, otherwise the concealment effect will disappear!"
......
The sun has gradually set.
Although Anthony and the city lord of Liuyue City seemed to be still fighting.
The ground will shake twice from time to time.
But the bandits and the soldiers of the 6th Infantry Regiment had already retreated and started making fires to cook.
Not to mention that this time is not a good time to fight.
In addition, both parties are also psychologically unsure.
The Sixth Infantry Regiment lacks the powerful combat force of Brand.
The bandits suffered a huge defeat just yesterday. Although compared with yesterday, the bandits had an extra Liuyue City to rely on.
But who knows if that terrifying mage will use any terrifying spell to directly raise the city wall?
——The fragile balance has been maintained for the time being.
……
Brand’s side.
After driving the concealment barrier and taking Yersen and Catherine to avoid the bandits under the city, they walked into Liuyue City.
Walking on the streets of Liuyue City, looking at the various buildings around them, they were in awe unconsciously.
If it weren't for the armed bandits who often walked around the streets, they seemed to have arrived in a city in a certain kingdom.
You know, many cities in the Kaya Empire are just like this.
This time when he sneaked into Liuyue City, Brand mainly wanted to explore the "reliance" of the city lord of Liuyue City, and also look for the treasures of Liuyue City.
So after briefly scanning the scenery in the city, Brand led the two of them towards the castle in the center of the city.
——If you want to say where there is treasure, the most likely place is undoubtedly the castle in the center of the city.
This castle is not very big and can only accommodate a few hundred people inside.
When they came to the edge of the castle and saw the materials used in the castle, Yersin was a little amazed at the wealth of the Lord of Liuyue City.
——The materials used to build this castle are all tougher stones!
Although it is not as good as the enchanted stone commonly used by domestic nobles to build castles, this type of material is considered to be of a medium level in many kingdoms.
Hearing Yersin’s “popular science”, Brand became even more excited about the purpose of the trip!
……
Anthony's side.
After the city lord of Liuyue City secretly gave the bandits of Liuyue City an order to temporarily stop attacking, they began to discuss the details of the contract.
What troubles Anthony is that the progress of their negotiations is relatively slow.
The two had great differences regarding the next actions of the 6th Infantry Regiment of the Kaya Empire.
The city lord of Liuyue City expressed great dissatisfaction with Anthony's attempt to plunder the population.
Like a speaker, he used various theories to criticize the shamelessness of Antony's behavior.
When Anthony was forced to respond with "You are bandits, you rob caravans, you are the most shameless!"
The Lord of Liuyue City informed Anthony of his intention to establish a country on this land.
Then, he sighed again:
"I am indeed a bandit. I do not deny this, but bandits can also have dreams! Dreams can change a person, and dreams can give This land brings order..."
After talking so much nonsense, Anthony couldn't help but interrupt: "How can it be so easy to found a country? If nothing else, how do you solve the problem of gender balance?"
The Lord of Liuyue City smiled. He stroked his beard and said, "I have already thought about this issue..."
Although he felt something was wrong, Anthony still patiently continued the "negotiation" with the Lord of Liuyue City!
......
During the fierce negotiation between Anthony and the Lord of Liuyue City.
The three Brands have already walked around the castle, but unfortunately, they have not gained much.
I found a lot of supplies, but as for treasure, I didn’t see any.
Considering that the secret of the Lord of Liuyue City might be related to magic, Brand also specially sensed it in the castle, but did not sense any magic aura.
When he was looking a little gloomy, Yersen suddenly suggested:
“How about you use your eyes of insight to see where there are the most guards?
Like the treasure house at home, although there are no guards on the surface, there are many people secretly arranged.
Last time I passed by, a large number of people suddenly appeared, which shocked me! ”
