1199 Frustrated Negotiation

PreviousBack to directoryNext
"It's just nonsense!"

Some time later, in the imperial camp, the voice belonging to Field Pamuir rose high among the clouds in the sky: "We didn't rest for a day when we passed through Zaraha City, and we didn't rest for a day after arriving at this damn place.

!What do you want to do by marching in such a hurry? Do you want to tire us out?"

"I repeat, this is the decision of Her Royal Highness the Princess." Standing in front of him neither humble nor arrogant, Lott, who was fully armed, put his hands behind his back in a standard military posture: "If you have any opinions, please speak to the Chief.

Your Highness the Princess will negotiate, but before that... please obey the order."

"Oh, damn it, isn't he just a pretty boy who has climbed up the ranks by relying on his family's reputation? How dare he point fingers like this in front of me?" Field's fat body then kept dancing in front of the commander and soldier: "What the hell?

I’m waiting! Our Pamuir family will never do that”

"Instead of continuing to complain here, it's better to hurry up and get ready, Mr. Pamuir." Like passers-by, he passed by the two people inadvertently, and Landauer, who had a mustache on his face, also deliberately

He sneered a few times: "Otherwise, you will be like the laggards Lamar and Silcado, who will be ruthlessly abandoned by us!"

The familiar noise then rang in the sky above the camp, bringing a lively feeling to the overcast fortress. However, looking at the excitement, Her Royal Highness the Princess still stood in front of her carriage without speaking.

It was as if the scene in his eyes was nothing but the dark clouds: "I didn't expect that the final plan would be used so soon... The situation is almost beyond our expectation."

"If Your Highness is worried, we can retreat first." Diploma, who was standing next to her, lowered her head in a low voice: "We can just go to the principality on our own."

"How is it possible that things have become like this, but I have to retreat before arriving at the destination?" Princess Rena's face immediately showed a serious expression: "This is not what an imperial person should do, let alone

Befitting the dignity of our imperial family."

"But Your Highness, the road ahead is too dangerous." A royal magician standing behind her then reminded in a low voice: "If you lose our protection, you"

"This trip was originally intended to balance the state of mind of His Majesty the Father."

Raising her hand to interrupt what the magician was about to say, Reina looked at the sky and became calm: "Whether it is within the empire or between the empire and the principality, I am a redundant existence now.

It’s okay if we encounter any problems during this trip, if there are no problems..."

"Your Highness, you don't have to sacrifice yourself like this." Diploma's voice became choked up: "There must be other ways to solve your problem. Even if you are willing to give up this great power, you

Why bother?"

"My mission ended long ago when the royal mission was cut off."

Raising her hand to stop what the other party was about to say, Reina's voice became much deeper: "Now I am just trying my best to realize my value. This has nothing to do with His Majesty the Father's expectations.

It has nothing to do with Chris' life."

"If blood is really spilled on the land of the principality this time, then I have no regrets." Her fists gradually clenched, and the collar of her dress formed a ball in front of her chest.

: "I just hope...that my blood will not be wasted in vain and that the future of the empire can continue."

"Your Highness, there is no need to be so panicked."

A calm voice then rang in the ears of several people, accompanied by the figure of an imperial soldier wearing ordinary uniforms who appeared next to the carriage at some point: "After all, there have been so many accidents this time.

Is not it?"

"Who are you?" Stopping several subordinates from raising their weapons, Reina slowly narrowed her eyes: "Or...which side are you from?"

"Don't worry, I'm here to lend a helping hand to you." Slowly standing up straight, the imperial "soldier" then lowered his head to hide his expression: "We have been working hard during this period.

Observing your current situation, now...it's time to show our identity."

"I have indeed heard of such a group of people." Silently blocking in front of Reina, DiPloma slowly lowered his top hat to his sight: "You... are that name?"

People from an organization called the Shadow Society, right?"

"To be precise, it's the Shadow Society of the Empire." The soldier chuckled and shook his head: "Under the orders of Lord Asa, I am here to assist you."

"How many undercover agents have you arranged in our investigation team?" Reina, who pursed her lips and pushed DiPloma away, asked in an indifferent voice: "Everything that happened in the past few days is...

Are you responsible for this?"

"If that were the case, I would not appear in front of you." The imperial "soldier" replied with a smile: "And you seem to have already decided how to deal with it."

"The empire's soldiers were actually exchanged, and it's not tolerated at all when I'm participating in an important meeting." Her voice became more and more serious, and Reina, who ignored the warnings of her subordinates behind her, walked slowly.

Walked up to the pseudo-imperial soldier: "But now it seems that since someone can really do this, then our doubts have been answered to a certain extent..."

"You just need to answer the rest of our doubts for us." She breathed a sigh of relief and stared into each other's eyes without any slack: "The principality, the empire, and those who filled the ranks.

Adventurers...how many of the people I put in front of me are real?"

"Sorry, I can't answer this question." Slowly taking a step back, the imperial "soldier" replied in a low voice: "Lord Asa only agreed to our formal contact with you, he did not give us explicit permission.

Tell your highness more news."

"You have to understand who you are facing now, fanatic!" Raising one of her hands, Rena's long golden hair also fluttered back and forth in the invisible energy: "It's not up to you now.

You have chosen, you must tell the truth to the eldest princess of my empire!"

"Causes, ends, means, and results."

As if he had already noticed the danger here, the imperial "soldier" read out these words in a low voice, and then the slow retreating steps began to disintegrate with the ordinary imperial soldier's clothing, and finally gradually disappeared.

In everyone's sight: "The development of all things in the world always carries a large amount of unimaginable information, but the content that the world asks for often exceeds what you 'should know'..."

"Since you are also such people, then there is no need for us to continue negotiating."

*********************************

"What? Leave us in this fortress?"

In the scene where countless players were packing their bags, a cry suddenly came from the camp room called Qingling Adventure Group: "Why? Why? Have we been abandoned?"

"Of course not, this is the decision of Her Royal Highness the Princess."

With her hands on her hips and sighing like this, the woman named Xue Ling Huan Bing also lowered her head deeply: "In order to find out the truth of this series of strange events, Her Royal Highness the Princess had to send some people to stay behind.

Investigate clearly here, otherwise, if you continue to move forward, you will bear excessive risks..."

"Scattered forces will also bear great risks, right? And why are we the ones left behind?"

"Because we are the discoverers of abnormal events and one of the people who know the most about this disguised event. Compared with those who go to the principality, our presence in the team is less necessary..."

"...I knew it would be like this."

Duan Qing folded his arms and let out a long sigh. Duan Qing, who was standing at the door and leaning on the wall, then raised his head and looked at the cloudy sky: "It took a lot of effort to get here, but in the end, he was suddenly squeezed out of the central area.

Anyone else might not be able to accept it easily."

"I feel sorry for the treatment you received." Cangyun Barrier, who was standing not far away and also leaning against the wall, responded with regret: "But I don't know why Reina suddenly made such a decision.

, it stands to reason that she should be grateful to you for always discovering problems in advance and giving early warning."

"There is no need to be grateful. After all, we have something to hide from them." Duan Qing shook his head, his eyes still buried in the action of looking down at the ground: "From this point of view, this princess,

My sense of smell is pretty sharp.”

"Oh? What else are you hiding?"

"Sorry, we can't explain this clearly."

Without answering the other party's question directly, Duan Qing took a breath silently: "What I can confirm is that after you leave us, you will encounter many fewer accidents than you do now."

"The so-called disaster star, right?" Cangyun Barrier curled his lips: "It makes me a little doubtful whether the choice to form an alliance with you was the right one."

"It's still too late to regret now. After all, Princess Reina doesn't seem to want to keep us all here." Duan Qing smiled and tilted his head: "Haven't you guys been developing in the empire for a long time? Yes.

It’s time to use your reputation.”

"It's impossible, look at Princess Reina's expression when she said those words before." Cangyun Barrier lowered her head and waved her hand: "This time she must be determined to separate from us.

, I took this opportunity to completely break away from the adventurers."

"...What are you going to do?"

"Go and have a look around."

Facing Duan Qing's subsequent question, Cangyun Barrier's voice replied casually: "It's hard to come to Fars Fortress. Even if you don't leave with souvenirs, you should at least leave with a few tasks."

"It always feels a little weird when these words come out of your mouth, Lanshan." Looking at the other person's back gradually walking away, Duan Qing then asked again: "If you don't go to the people in the world to learn from each other, you will always be the same.

How about doing business?"

"That is also your mission." Standing up straight with his arms folded, Cangyun Barrier then walked towards the far side of the noisy camp: "'Uphold the nobility and elegance of the empire and find out the truth of the case'"

"Since Her Royal Highness the Princess has said so, we can't snatch the name of your agent."

Watching the big shield warrior leave, Duan Qing, who looked up at the sky, then sighed leisurely. His fingers squeezed hard as his eyes gradually raised, and finally tightened as he walked out slowly.

Together: "Really, we have come to this point..."

"Are you just giving up?"

The sound of the bugle to pull anchor and set off sounded one after another around the fortress, accompanied by the scene of carriages escorted by countless imperial soldiers gradually gathering together. The rose-colored carriage at the front of this convoy

Then a moment passed at the end of Duan Qing's field of vision, and then with a decisive back, he took the lead and drove out of the heavy gate leading to the Talon Plain at the other end of the fortress. Walking inside the fortress, it seemed as if he was familiar with the roads here.

Duan Qing then walked around to the city head of one of the fortresses facing the east. Feeling the slightest chill, he then looked at the winding path leading to the far end of the plain with his hands behind his back, while watching this

The departure of the Imperial Investigation Team under the escort of the principality: "Well... we just spent a few days together. I didn't expect it would be time to part ways so soon."

"The contact has been made, sir." An ear-splitting gentle voice sounded quietly, and the figure belonging to Ningyu Ninglan appeared behind Duan Qing with a consistent smile: "We can start at any time."

"..."

Without answering the other party's words, the motionless Duan Qing just looked at the direction in which the convoy was gradually leaving. The outline of the city formed by the gray-white circular city wall later appeared on the hazy horizon as the convoy gradually moved forward.

at the end, and then became more and more distorted as the water vapor increased: "Tanya...heh."

"It's better not to go back to that place." He frowned slightly, and the haze that flashed in his heart was slowly suppressed by him: "There are many things that I don't know how to deal with now.

.”

"...Mr. must have fought in this fortress before."

Cautiously approaching Duan Qing's back, Ninglan whispered comfortingly with her hands folded: "It's good to take a look here."

"Yes." Duan Qing nodded without looking back: "It's a pity that time has changed and things and people have changed. Let alone revisiting the old place, even those adventurous deeds are no longer known to anyone."

He turned around and looked at the still dilapidated and chaotic scene inside the fortress with indifferent eyes. Then he turned and left in the direction he came from before the principality soldiers who spotted them around were about to step forward and drive them away:

"Let's go."

"It's going to rain soon."

He stretched out his hand to catch a raindrop falling from the sky, and then said in a low voice.
